Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

October 11th, Zhijiang City.

After nearly two months of absence, Xia Chen returned to his hometown and finally met Nian Meier and Cangyan Blade Ghost who stayed at home.

Unlike the messy scene he imagined, the home where only two elves lived was actually very orderly.

What surprised Xia Chen even more was that Nian Meier had evolved into Nian Meilong!

With a height of more than two meters, Xia Chen could not associate her with the sticky baby that liked to stick to him at the beginning of the year.

The large steel shell on the back, which looks very weighty and is almost as tall as the body, shines with a cool metallic luster in the sun.

The only thing that didn't change was Nian Meilong's slimy personality. As soon as they met, he threw himself into Xia Chen's arms as usual.

And with her current body shape, the only result would be to hold him and fall down on the soft grass in the yard.

"Okay. Stop making trouble. It's itchy."

Putting aside her sticky tentacles that were wriggling randomly on his body, Xia Chen asked about the business, "How did you evolve so quickly?"

According to expectations based on the energy intensity detected before leaving, it will take at least until the end of the year to reach the energy intensity required for evolution.

But it turned out to be so far in advance?

Nian Meilong looked around guiltily, and subconsciously glanced at the Cang Yan Blade Ghost not far away.

He was also talking about him, "Nian——(Well, isn't it almost time? Oh, by the way, we are moving to a new house, I'm looking forward to it!)"

Xia Chen looked at the slimy steel dragon that was already two heads taller than him and the Cangyan Blade Ghost in the corner with a strange look on his face, thinking that these two guys would definitely take advantage of his absence. What did you do secretly while you were at home?

Speaking of which, it only took ten months for Nianmeilong to evolve from its birth to its final form.

Humans are still pregnant in ten months, and this is a late-blooming quasi-god!

If we want to use a metaphor, she should be a kind of mortal protagonist. How did she become a genius protagonist who conquers the world all the way?

Xia Chen didn't know if this speed broke the world record, but even if it didn't, it was somewhat too amazing.

But no matter what, evolution is always a good thing.

After asking Gu Ledun to help check that there were no problems with Nian Meilong's body and internal energy, Xia Chen put aside his doubts and turned to test the evolved Nian Meilong's strength.

…………

Let me put the conclusion first. It is very strong, very strong, so strong that it is beyond the power of an elf who is less than one year old.

A one-year-old gym-level elf, Xia Chen couldn't even think about it before!

Eevee and Ugly Fish are already examples of extremely fast growth, but even if we push back one year from the starting point of meeting them, they will only barely reach the elite level.

We have to push it back one year, that is, now, they have gym-level strength.

Nian Meilong abruptly shortened the process by half. In addition to the terrifying talent revealed right after birth, I am afraid it is also related to the Blue Flame Blade Ghost.

Speaking of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, Xia Chen recalled that something was wrong with him during that video call, as if he had changed into an elf.

He couldn't help but look at this special elf who was the latest to join the team, but found that it was also looking at him faintly.

The look in his eyes is indeed no longer as indifferent as the vicissitudes of life at the beginning, but instead shows curiosity and ignorance pretending to be calm.

Although this is the normal appearance of a newly subdued young elf, Xia Chen still feels a little strange about the difference.

This time I return to Zhijiang to build an island, and I won't leave for a short time. It's just a good time to develop a relationship with him.

Xia Chen thought so in his heart.

In order to celebrate the smooth evolution of the Nian Meilong and the safe return of himself and the elves, Xia Chen decided to set up a large table at night.

He invited his two assistants Yan Shu and Chris Jia who stayed in Zhijiang, as well as Jiang Qian, who returned from Padia last month, to come to his house for dinner.

Speaking of which, Xia Chen's relationship with them was not only friends, but also bosses and subordinates.

So even though they specifically emphasized that work would not be discussed at the dinner table, the three of them inevitably talked about some work-related matters.

"The commercial development of the secret plant is progressing quite smoothly. By the time I returned to Donghuang, the seasoning made from the salty secret plant that was first discovered has entered the trial production stage, and other flavors have also made progress. , over there at the energy cube. Due to the shift in work focus, there hasn’t been much growth. I’ll send you the specific data after dinner.”

Jiang Qian briefly described the company's development during this period.

Xia Chen couldn't do anything about this workaholic, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Jiang. Let's eat first."

Seeing the second-in-command like this, the assistant Yan Shu and the workplace cutie Krisja didn't dare to neglect them.

Yan Shu put down his chopsticks and reported the report carefully: "The construction of the island is also proceeding in an orderly manner. At present, it has achieved water, electricity and Internet access. Buildings such as the Elf Center and the Gym are larger in scale and have a longer construction period. However, your The residence is expected to be completed before the year, and there are grass elves like beautiful flowers and skirt ladies that can purify the air. You don’t have to worry about health problems and you can move in at any time.”

Kriska has only been here for a month, so her workload is much smaller.

She shrugged and said: "The ecological planning work on the island is relatively easy. It is not difficult for the wild elves to communicate, and most of them are willing to cooperate, except for one heterochromatic ring bear."

Xia Chen knew about this thorn in the side, the circle bear guarding the island's secrets, but didn't they communicate well last time?

He frowned and asked, "Why, it's not convinced?"

Krisjia said helplessly: "There is an area that refuses to let us in no matter what."

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I understand. When the time comes, I will go to the island to see it in person."

…………

After lunch, the three of them left to continue working for their boss.

As Xia Chen had just returned from Fengyuan, he was not in a hurry to visit the island he was thinking about. Anyway, the island was there and he couldn't escape.

He came to Cangyan Blade Ghost's room, ready to chat with him to enhance their relationship.

As soon as this guy finished eating, he hurried back to the room, not knowing what he was in a hurry for.

Xia Chen knocked on the door twice out of curiosity, only to find that the door was not locked, but ajar.

A moral dilemma was placed in front of him - should he secretly spy on what the Blue Flame Blade Ghost was doing in the room, or should he get his permission before entering?

Out of the protection of the elf's personal privacy, Xia Chen chose the latter.

But things didn't go as planned. Even after knocking on the door several times, there was no response. Xia Chen had no choice but to choose another option.

Pushing the door open, he found that the room was very hot and filled with smoke, as if something was burning.

Is the Blue Flame Blade Ghost cooking something to eat?

The cook Xia Chen immediately put himself in his shoes and thought of this possibility.

But didn’t we just have dinner? Or is it that he thinks his cooking is not delicious, so he comes back to open a small stove?

Xia Chen can't stand it anymore. You can question my character, but you can't insult my cooking skills!

He was very unconvinced and walked inside through the curls of smoke, ready to see what delicious food this guy was making that was more tempting than the delicacies he cooked.

However, what surprised him was that the source of the smoke in the room was not pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, but a black tripod made of unknown material?

And the Cangyan Blade Ghost is sitting in front of this black cauldron, the silent ghost fire running coldly, is concentrating on refining elixirs?

Xia Chen thought for a moment that he had traveled to some fantasy fairy world. He touched the round elf ball in his hand and confirmed the fact that he was still in the elf world.

So, I don’t have a problem. I am making elixirs in a world where elixirs don’t exist at all. The problem is the Blue Flame Blade Ghost!

In other words, the reason why Nian Meier can evolve so quickly is most likely related to the elixir refined by Cangyan Blade Ghost.

After simple elimination, Xia Chen discovered the truth.

However, he had no joy at all in discovering the truth, because for his own elves, it seemed abnormal to have no problems.

So Xia Chen quickly accepted the fact that Cangyan Blade Ghost could make elixirs - what could he do if he didn't accept it? Or could he lie to himself that he was actually making clay pills?

But where did all these messy skills come from? Is it Arceus's bad taste?

This question was not something that Xia Chen could understand at this stage. He buried his doubts deep in his heart and began to observe the alchemy process of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost.

…………

He was so focused that Xia Chen walked behind him and stood behind him for a long time without even noticing.

The flame in his hand suddenly grew bigger and smaller, brighter and darker, and the state was not continuous for a minute.

Xia Chen thought thoughtfully. This alchemy seemed to be much more difficult than cooking or making energy cubes. It was no wonder that the Blue Flame Blade Ghost was unaware of his arrival.

He was afraid of disturbing the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, so he just stood quietly behind him and watched without saying a word.

The process of refining the alchemy lasted for nearly half an hour. Finally, when the intensity of the strange fragrance in the room reached its peak, the white fire quietly extinguished, and the Blue Flame Blade Ghost opened its eyes.

After taking a slight sniff of the smell that filled the air, he showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes and murmured to himself: "Kalu. (Finally refined the best dragon power pill)"

"Were you refining elixir just now?"

The sudden sound behind him startled Cangyan Blade Ghost. He turned his head sharply and found that it was his own trainer.

Xia Chen pointed to the door and explained: "I wanted to chat with you. I made sure the door was open, so I came in by myself."

Only then did Cangyan Blade Ghost remember that he was used to the days when he and Nian Meilong were the only ones at home, and he even forgot to lock the door when making alchemy.

Fortunately, Xia Chen didn't disturb him, otherwise he would definitely fall short this time.

Waiting for the Blue Flame Blade Ghost to suddenly discover a blind spot that he had just ignored.

"Kalu? (How do you know this is called alchemy?)"

This was a precious memory left to him before his other consciousness left. How could he know?

Xia Chen smiled and said, "I may know more than you think. This is something another being taught you, right? Say hello to him for me."

If he guessed correctly, there should be an old man from a fantasy fairy world hidden in the body of the Cangyan Blade Ghost. This also explains why the Cangyan Blade Ghost behaved so abnormally before and after he left -

That's when the old man takes over the body!

In fact, Xia Chen's guess was pretty accurate, but the truth was a bit more outrageous than he imagined.

But in the ears of Cangyan Blade Ghost, Xia Chen's words meant that he understood almost everything - the existence of Yaochen's soul, the origin of strange fire and alchemy, and even more things that even he didn't know clearly.

Because the eulogy of "Say hello to him for me" can show that he and his other consciousness knew each other before, and there was even some kind of communication between them before his own consciousness awakened!

When Xia Chen saw the Cang Yan Blade Ghost was silent for a long time, he thought he was communicating with "grandpa" and quickly said: "Don't be nervous, I know him well and will not interfere with his guidance to you. It's just that from now on. There is no need to hide any of these things from me, I support them all, and if you need anything, I can also help you, just like when he was here."

…………

Xia Chen's way of getting along with each of his elves is different. If he had to compare it, he felt it was similar to falling in love.

Senbusa Naidomenus and the others are like young tamed tamers who are so devoted that they won't leave even if I drive them away.

Duolongqi Nianmeilongsai Fuhao and the others are partners who are in love with each other and have a high probability of being able to live out their lives.

But Deoxys, Guluton and Cangyan Blade Ghost couldn't be said to be romantically involved, but Xia Chen always felt that they would leave one day.

So when getting along, he will give them the greatest degree of freedom.

On the other side, the Cangyan Blade Ghost began to think divergently based on Xia Chen's words.

Support, help. Do you mean the materials needed to make medicine?

It was the same as when he was there. Sure enough, before Yao Chen's consciousness dissipated, what decision did the two people discuss?

For example, entrusting himself to Xia Chen after his consciousness dissipates?

In fact, after his true ontological consciousness awakened, his emotions towards Xia Chen were very complicated.

He had all the memories of when Yao Chen's consciousness dominated his body after Xia Chen rescued him, but it was more like watching from a third party.

He witnessed Yao Chen's conscious Tan Xiaoshi and agreed to become Xia Chen's partner, and also watched everything that happened afterwards.

But that was not what he had experienced himself, so he was very grateful to Xia Chen for saving his life at that time, but to truly recognize him as his trainer, it seemed a bit lacking.

After all, it was Yaochen who promised Xia Chen. What does it have to do with me, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost?

But now, Xia Chen came back to communicate with him, and he finally felt relieved.

After the Cangyan Blade Ghost was silent for a while, he said: "Kalu. (I understand. From now on, I will not hide those things from you.)"

Xia Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently.

One person and one ghost are not on the same channel at all, but they finally reached a relatively satisfactory consensus. It can only be said to be a coincidence.

"Kalu——(By the way, this is the Dragon Power Pill I refined. After taking it, it can increase the power of the elves. There are seven in this pot. You can take it and share it with them. Think of it as my late meeting gift. ”

As soon as the gap in his heart was resolved, Cangyan Blade Ghost gave him a valuable meeting gift.

Xia Chen was not polite and accepted it for the elves.

It just so happened that Menas went to practice with Rayquaza, and the seven pieces were just right.

Otherwise, it would be the classic problem of [how to distribute seven apples fairly to eight children].

Dragon Power Pill sounds a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while, and the effect of increasing strength sounds like it is linked to attack. Although it seems that they can't use it like Gardevoir Regal, it doesn't hurt.

With this in mind, Xia Chen took the seven dark red pills from the hands of Cangyan Blade Ghost and turned around to go out.

…………

The appearance of elixirs in the elf world is already a very strange thing. What is even more ridiculous is that the effect of this thing is quite good.

Although Xia Chen had long been used to it, he still complained silently in his heart for a long time.

During the time that Xia Chen left, it was not only the evolved Nian Meilong that had soared in strength, but also the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, although not as exaggerated as hers, but it had already reached the elite level.

If you want to improve, the accumulation of time is essential.

Speaking of accumulation, Duolongqi has been accumulating for a long enough time.

His energy intensity has actually met the conditions for evolution long ago, but the resurrection of Sister Dulongmexia still needs the "help" of Milerton. This is the biggest reason that hinders evolution.

In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be Milerton, Groudon, Rayquaza, these legendary elves all have this ability. It's just that the energy source of one is wrong. If the other one is asymmetrical, Xia Chen will feel uncomfortable.

It's like everyone with tattoos has a blue dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. Your left side is a blue dragon, but the right side becomes Cthulhu?

So of course, Xia Chen had the idea of ​​​​Millerton.

"Hey, what do you think, when the time comes, we call Rayquaza over and beat Milerton?"

Xia Chen's proposal made Gulerton's eyes light up. He didn't have the old and pedantic idea of ​​taking revenge on himself. As long as he could defeat that guy, anyone could do it.

So it nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll lead the way!"

Xia Chen snapped his fingers, "No problem, then we'll set off when Rayquaza sends Menas back."

The time to return to Padea was finalized, but before that, Xia Chen decided to focus mainly on the construction of Yuanling Island.

The next morning, Xia Chen led the elves to Yuanling Island.

Two months later, several majestic buildings covering a wide area have risen from the ground, blowing a gust of wind from human civilization to this beautiful island.

This is not a bad thing for the local aboriginal elves. Although the participation of human civilization has caused some problems, it has undoubtedly brought many conveniences.

At least in terms of medical treatment, elves injured in accidents do not have to rely solely on tree fruits and the [Healing Wave] mastered by individual elves to heal their injuries.

More importantly, due to Xia Chen's deception at the time, the local elves were quite receptive to humans.

Coupled with Yan Shu and Kris Jia's planned and organized efforts to please and bribe them, the relationship between the people and elves on the island is currently quite harmonious.

Except, of course, for a certain stubborn green bear.

…………

"Well, this is it. Starting from here, let's go in, and the bear will jump out and scare people."

Kriska pointed to a lush bush and said: "If you have to fight, you can definitely fight, but doesn't this violate your island concept of [the harmonious development of humans and elves]?"

"It's okay, I'll talk to it."

Xia Chen walked towards the bushes. Zoroark turned into a pink butterfly and followed Xia Chen to prevent the crazy bear from biting people.

It was unusually quiet in the bushes. Xia Chen relied on his super powers and wasn't too worried.

Suddenly, a green bear that was almost the same color as the surrounding environment emerged from the green trees and pounced towards Xia Chen.

Although she pounced, Xia Chen could clearly detect that she did not use energy, so it was mostly meant to scare people.

But Zoroark, who turned into a pink butterfly behind him, didn't care about this. He condensed the energy in his hand and shot out a split tile instantly. Instead, the heterochromatic circle bear was hit by a counter-attack, and was suspended upside down by the impact of the move.

After two months, Zoroark's strength has improved a lot, but the heterochromatic circle bear is still standing still.

The latter was a little stunned by this double restraint move. He lay on the ground with all four limbs in the air and struggled to turn over.

Xia Chen walked over unhurriedly and squatted down next to her, mocking: "Tsk, it's been so long, why haven't you made any progress at all?"

The heterochromatic circle bear stood up, and it could be seen from her surprised eyes that she still remembered Xia Chen.

After taking a few deep breaths, the strange-colored circled bear said in a loud voice: "Kuma. (It's you.)"

"it's me."

Xia Chen nodded and replied: "I heard that you were dishonest, so I came here to see what exactly you wanted to do."

The heterochromatic ringed bear had a stubborn look in his eyes, "Don't do anything, just don't enter this area."

Xia Chen shook his head, "What's the matter? You change every day. The circle you drew this time is larger than the last time. What if it becomes bigger next time? You will be the boss and I will be the boss."

Circle Bear remained silent, Xia Chen was not in a hurry and continued to chat with her about anything.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, her expression changed and she suddenly ran towards the depths of the trees.

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This guy is not stupid at all, he actually knows how to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

His thoughts were guessed, so he stopped pretending and immediately let go of Gu Lerton and sat on his back.

"Guluton, catch up with her!"

"Oh, I see."

Therefore, Luton responded and chased after him.

Although the circle bear ran away first, with Guluton's speed, he easily caught up with it and overturned it.

The hoop bear's bulky body dragged out imprints like skid marks on the ground, and a shocking bloodstain could be faintly seen under its thick fur.

However, she got up without realizing it and continued to run in a certain direction. The crazy expression on her face was scary.

Xia Chen frowned slightly, what kind of treasure could she value so much?

For the safety of the circle bear, he did not let Gu Lerton rush forward to stop her, but followed her closely.

After a bear and a dragon performed fast and furiously in the mountains and fields for a while, a hidden cave suddenly appeared in front of them.

At the entrance of the cave, Gardevoir was holding a thin baby bear in his arms, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of distress and maternal love.

Seeing this scene, the heterochromatic circle bear completely went berserk and roared to the sky.

"Kuma! (Let go of my child!)"
