Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

The press conference ended abruptly at a climax.

After all, it was a post-match press conference for the selection rounds, so it was a bit strange to have it turned into a press conference for Tai Jing Hua.

Besides, there are still games in the lower bracket to be played later.

Although by this time, no one cares anymore.

Because today, February 25, 2025, a time node named [Tai Jing Day] in the history books of later generations, trainers and elf battle enthusiasts all over the world are excitedly discussing one thing - Tai Jing change!

The public was not disappointed. Within a few hours after the press conference, Xia Chen personally, Zero Research Institute, and the Padia Alliance revealed news about Taijinghua one after another.

Regarding the harmless method of Taijing fragments, the existence and teaching of [Taijing Burst] move, the opening time for purchasing Taijing beads, and so on.

The work efficiency of the Padia Alliance is very high. Xia Chen went to find Ye Ci just the day before yesterday. This afternoon, they officially announced that the Taijing Beads and Taijing fragments with different attributes, as well as the matching flower poison serum, will be launched in May. Available to all trainers.

Of course, quantities are limited, first-come-first-serve for pre-orders.

Within just a few minutes after this news was sent out, the official website of the Padian Alliance was immediately overwhelmed and the server went down.

Although it is only a short sentence, it is actually not that simple and easy to handle.

Because this means that in just over two months, they need to complete a series of tasks such as digging Taijing mines, making Taijing beads, and opening up routes to the Elf Center.

This workload is not small at all.

It is conceivable that Jinhui Town, which is located next to the gate of Zone Zero, especially the alliance civil servants in the town, will be very busy during the next period.

Xia Chen silently mourned for three seconds in advance for Aoki, the owner of the livestock hall.

Although ordinary trainers can only wait until three months to experience the Great Crystal Transformation, it is much more convenient for special beings like the Gym Leader and the Four Heavenly Kings.

Most of the top trainers who had free time contacted the Padia Alliance on the same day and asked about being able to experience Tai Jinghua as soon as possible. The Padia Alliance also agreed very generously.

The main purpose of the alliance is to expand Taijinghua's influence as quickly as possible during this three-month gap period.

For top trainers, if there is a mechanical system like this that can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of elves during battles, their own team's winning rate will be greatly reduced.

This is why almost all the gym owners in this trial have super evolutions - they are really unbeatable without them!

It is conceivable that next month's World Gym Leader Competition will inevitably see a melee between super evolution and Tai Jinghua.

That world-famous game will also become an important stage for expanding Taijinghua’s influence.

…………

The subsequent effects of Taijinghua are still continuing.

In the days that followed, the most discussed thing on major social platforms was the different options for elves to become crystallized.

Although they have not yet been able to obtain Tai Jingzhi, this does not prevent the fantasy time from progressing.

There are nearly a thousand types of elves in the world, and each type of elf can be matched with eighteen types of Taijing attributes, which leaves a huge creative stage for trainers.

The calm discussion gradually turned into a quarrel about "My combination is better than yours", and then into a verbal battle about "My move of steel attribute Taijing bursts, you use your head to catch it"

On Xia Chen's side, he had already obtained a ticket to the World Gym Master Competition and came to Padia District Zero.

The purpose of coming here this time is to take back a few pieces of Taijing mother ore that are large enough.

The energy in the Taijing Beads will be exhausted after helping the elves become Taijing, and replenishing the energy requires a "power bank" such as the Taijing Mother Mine.

Donghuang and Padiya were extremely far apart, and it was impossible to run back to Area Zero to "recharge" every time after the crystallization, so he thought of taking a few pieces of mother ore back to Yuanling Island to be self-sufficient.

As the biggest contributor to the popularization and promotion of Taijinghua, this authority is definitely no problem.

After picking a few pieces of Taijing Mother Mine that were enough to "charge" the Taijing Bead tens of thousands of times, he ran back to Yuanling Island without stopping.

Within more than two months of his departure, all the buildings originally designed on Yuanling Island had been completed, including the Yuanling Gym, which had the largest amount of work.

At this moment, Yuanling Island is already a modern island that combines city and wilderness.

The gym that Xia Chen has dreamed of for several years can be opened at any time.

However, considering that I have to be busy with the Taijing Transformation and Trials during this period, and there will be the World Gym Leader Competition next month, I might as well delay the opening of the gym for a while until I get back from the Gym Leader Competition.

Time has entered March, and the trials for the Donghuang region have come to an end.

After several rounds of fierce battles in the loser group, in the end, it was not surprising that the gym leaders who went to the World Series together with Tatsuno and Xia Chen were still the two from the water and steel types.

After the trials for each competition area ended, the official time and place of this Gym Leader Competition was also announced——

March 15th, Galar region, Quanguan City.

…………

March 5, Yuanling Island, light rain.

The rain in early spring is always gentle, and the pattering water drops splash on the surface of Yunze Lake, bringing with it waves of refreshing tinkling sounds and strings of slight ripples.

The light rain did not dampen the interest of Xia Chen and the elves in their spring outing, but instead added a touch of fun to the rare relaxing time.

There are still ten days before the start of the competition. It is impossible to train. The only way to maintain life is to hang out with the cute elves.

On the luxury yacht named [Yuanling No. 1], Xia Chen was sitting on the deck fishing.

It’s called fishing, or more accurately, it’s feeding the fish——

The whole morning passed, and the nests were hunted frequently, and a lot of bait was put down. Every time I swung the rod up, there was nothing, not even a king carp. What is it if it's not feeding the fish?

"Meenas, come up here and stay for a while. You scared the fish away down there."

Every fishing guy does not think that his fishing skills are the original sin of the Air Force. Xia Chen feels that the reason he has found is very reasonable and should be the fundamental reason why he has found nothing so far.

Wow——

The sound of clear water came from the side of the yacht, and a Menas, which could be completely synonymous with beauty and elegance, emerged from the lake and flew back to the boat calmly.

He felt that what Xia Chen said made sense. When he was underwater, all the female and even many male aquatic elves were surrounding him, without even looking at the fishhook with bait hanging on it.

Xianbu, who was nestled in Xia Chen's arms, jumped down silently at this time. She felt that if Xia Chen couldn't catch any more fish after Menas came up, she would be the next person to blame.

However, she underestimated the ability of an Air Force fisherman to blame others.

"Senbu, don't move. A mini dragon has already bitten the hook."

Xia Chen said with some frustration.

Xianbu, who ran two or three meters away, was so angry that he turned back and tugged Xia Chen's ears with silk.

How shameless!

…………

On the wide deck, the elves traveling together were scattered in twos and threes, enjoying the last vacation before the competition.

Nian Meilong and Sai Fuhao used steel energy to build a shelter from the rain, and were currently preparing a barbecue grill for lunch.

The Blue Flame Blade Ghost is responsible for providing the fire source - ordinary flames will be extinguished by rain, but the strange white flames on his body will not.

I just don’t know if the baked food will have a strange taste.

Doronbaruto felt that Xia Chen's previous promise that "the fish caught can be used for lunch" was not reliable at all. In order to avoid being hungry at noon, he took Zoroark into the water to fish together.

The two ghost-type elves are extremely fast and can put ordinary fish they catch into this temporary refrigerator in another dimension through sneak attacks. They are a must-have for hunting in the wild.

Therefore, Luton was still lying on the deck like an old man, enjoying the moisture of the spring rain.

As a "consecration" of the Xia Chen family, no elf has any objections to this legendary elf whose strength is now even more unfathomable.

Burning Bug hates water, and there is always a slight barrier between him and the other elves. He is lying alone under the eaves of the cabin that can protect him from the rain, squinting his eyes, not knowing whether he is asleep or what he is doing.

The mouse family that followed Xia Chen moved from his original home to Yuanling Island was not right. Now there were two families of mice. Anyway, six off-white mice with hooked tails gathered leisurely beside the burning insect, squeaking and seemed to be pulling. Homely.

At the beginning of March, it was the beginning of spring cold. Rats, who were not very strong, were a little afraid of the cold. The burning bugs that unconsciously emitted light and heat in their sleep were the most natural warm fireplace.

The most active thing on the deck is the baby bear running around among the elves.

Although this little guy was not subdued by Xia Chen, because of the incident when he bought the island, he and his mother, the heterochromatic ring bear, had a closer relationship with Xia Chen's family, so they came along on this trip. .

The elves were safe on the yacht, while Xia Chen was sitting on the deck holding a fishing rod.

In the end, Xia Chen still couldn't catch even one small crucian carp before lunch.

On the contrary, the fish, shrimps, crabs, and other fishes caught in the lake such as Doronbaruto and Zoroark were abundant, which allowed Xia Chen to fulfill his promise to treat everyone to eat fresh food from the lake when he set off.

After lunch, the drizzle stopped, and the cloudy sky cleared up again. In front of us were the clear sky and the blue lake. Looking around, we couldn't find the intersection of the two. The natural scenery made us feel relaxed and happy.

"Hey, Menas, is that Lingmiao Mountain?"

Xia Chen, who was standing on the deck and looking at the scenery, suddenly shouted.

His eyesight is now so good that he can see even a pointed, distant mountain peak popping up in his field of vision.

Menas was also touched by this name that existed in his distant memory. He flew up and looked over to confirm, and then nodded with emotion.

More than two years ago, Xia Chen and Ibrahimovic, who had not yet evolved at the time, participated in the Pear Picking Festival in Lingmiao Mountain. Not only did they become friends with Jiang Qian, they also tamed his second elf, Chou Chou Fish.

For Chou Chou Yu, it was the place where he changed his destiny. There, he met the most important person in his life.

That is a place that is very meaningful to Xia Chen and Menas.

"How about we go there for a walk?"

Xia Chen suggested after withdrawing his emotional thoughts.

Although most of the elves joined the team after Menas, they all guessed something from the expressions of Xia Chen and Menas, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

Originally, the yacht was controlled by Rotom and wandered aimlessly on Yunze Lake. So the boat turned around, determined the target, and Xia Chen took the elves to revisit their old place.

…………

Lingmiao Mountain can be regarded as the place where Xia Chen made his fortune. Because of the monkey monster attack, he gained a lot of benefits from the manager of the scenic spot.

Shopping cards from Silver Department Store, Elf Coin cash, etc., although they are not even a drop in the bucket for me now, they were an urgent need at the time.

The early cultivation of Eevee, Ugly Fish, and La Lulas, who were hatched later, were all inseparable from the nourishment of the compensation money.

At this moment, Xianbu and Menas were telling the elves who had joined the team about their predicament.

However, although the material conditions are poor, the spirit is very rich, so when Xianbu and Menas talked about these things, they had smiles in their eyes, and the corners of the mouths of the younger generations who listened to the stories also curled up, and their hearts were filled with fascination.

In the warm afternoon routine, the yacht swayed by the dock of Lingmiao Island.

Yunze Lake is a famous scenic spot in Zhijiang, and Lingmiao Mountain is also a business card of Yunze Lake. Even though today is a working day, there are still many people coming to climb the mountain and visit the lake.

Xia Chen took back most of the elves, just like before, leaving only one fairy cloth beside him, and followed the large group to buy tickets.

Spring has just begun, so naturally there are not as many trees and fruits to pick as when we came two years ago. After all, the flowers have just begun to bloom.

However, the golden phoenix pear flowers and the white pear flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains are beautiful and beautiful.

Xia Chen purposely separated from the large group and walked deep into the woods where there were few people. However, Xia Chen suddenly found a conspicuous sign in front of him that read "There is a violent monkey monster inside, please proceed with caution!"

Recalling the past, he couldn't help but turn his head and smile knowingly with Senbu.

It seems that after losing money and eliminating disasters, the manager of Lingmiao Mountain Scenic Area finally has a long memory.

I continued walking inside while admiring the flowers, scenery and fairies, but the fairy cloth suddenly disappeared.

Xia Chen was not too impatient. In a place with such a high degree of commercial development, the strongest elves would never be higher than the senior level. There was really nothing to worry about.

Without using the power of the waveguide to detect the location of the fairy cloth, he looked around at the surrounding scenery. Although it was the same lush woods and gurgling streams as before, Xia Chen felt vaguely familiar.

Then when he found Senbu chatting with an electric flying squirrel, he recalled that he had had lunch here and met the electric mouse family.

The lively and cute electric flying squirrel in front of me must be the little guy who brought a bunch of electric mice to eat and drink in his place, and later rewarded him with star fragments.

…………

"Why are you the only one left, where are Pachilitz, Pikachu and the others?"

Xia Chen sat under the tree and reminisced with this special old friend.

The electric flying squirrel held the energy cube given to it by Xia Chen in its hand. While eating it happily, it replied: "Ji Mo~ (They went to the city to live a good life~)"

Xia Chen understood. It turned out that he was taken back by the trainer. He hadn't seen him for more than two years. The possibility of this happening was not small.

He asked rather amusingly: "What about you? Why don't you go to the city and live a good life? No way."

Xia Chen wanted to say, "No one wants you, right?" But this politeness was not a joke. After thinking about it, he didn't say it.

However, Electric Flying Squirrel was smart and guessed the half of Xia Chen's unspoken words, and immediately became angry.

His two little hands were on his hips, and the pair of yellow gliding wing membranes on his arms looked puffy.

"Ji Mo! (They are too weak, there is no trainer who can defeat me!)"

Xia Chen smiled brightly and nodded in agreement.

It's a laugh, but in fact this possibility is indeed not small. The trainer whose goal is to recover the electric flying squirrel will most likely not be very strong. It is normal to be unable to defeat an electric flying squirrel.

After scratching the electric flying squirrel's furry little head, Xia Chen said with a smile: "Do you want to follow me? Your friends are not here anyway."

Xia Chen couldn't bear to see this child all alone.

Yuanling Island has richer resources than this, and you can visit your home from time to time. It's better than staying here anymore.

Electric Flying Squirrel thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Ji Mo! (Okay, but you have to defeat me!)"

Xia Chen smiled slightly. This little guy has quite a classical spirit. No wonder he wanted to repay his "favour" with the good things he collected.

He glanced at Senbu and motioned her with his eyes to act out a scene with Electric Momonga. Senbu nodded calmly.

She is professional when it comes to acting.

After communicating with Xianbu, Xia Chen coughed lightly and said seriously: "In that case, I will send Xianbu to challenge you. If you lose, you must follow me!"

Electric Flying Squirrel stuffed the last energy cube into his mouth and swallowed it, nodded seriously, and put his two small fists in a fighting posture.

"Ji Mo! (Come here with your horse!)"

Ever since, Senbu, whose energy intensity was close to the king level, had a unique "fierce" battle with an amateur-level electric flying squirrel in this novice village.

In the end, after a fierce battle for nearly five minutes, Xianbu defeated the Electric Flying Squirrel "with difficulty" and helped Xia Chen conquer the new elves.

It is not accurate to say that it is conquered, because Xia Chen has no intention of cultivating the Electric Flying Squirrel as the main elf, and its positioning is probably similar to that of a family of mice and bear cubs.

In short, on the return trip, there was an electric flying squirrel on board [Yuanling No. 1] that mixed with the elves.

…………

The electric flying squirrel was placed in a fruit forest next to Xia Chen's house. Xia Chen gave it an official position as a "fruit forest administrator", and the little guy took up the position with confidence.

Although after arriving on the island, the electric flying squirrel was shocked to learn that the entire lake island was Xia Chen's and was speechless for a long time, but it was optimistic by nature and quickly adjusted its mentality——

It doesn't matter, I almost defeated Xia Chen's main elf!

This thing that most professional trainers can't do is indeed worth bragging about, provided it doesn't know the truth about Senbu releasing it into the sea.

In the next few days, Xia Chen and the elves rarely left Yuanling Island.

It’s not that I was deliberately preparing for the competition in a few days. Roaming on the lake was quite interesting at first, but as time went by, it felt inexplicably empty.

Xia Chen and the elves were both restless, and they got busy on Yuanling Island a few days before setting off for Galar.

In addition to daily meditation, training, and battles, he also works with the elves to maintain fruit trees, farm, collect honey, and milk cows. Owning a huge island, there are quite a lot of interesting things.

It wasn't until March 13th that he suddenly realized after Krisja's reminder that there would be a competition the day after tomorrow.

So, on the 14th, he and his "neighbor" Lu Gym Leader, who also opened a gym in Yunze Lake and was also participating in the World Gym Leader Competition, went to Quanguan City in the Galar region.

Galar and Padiya are close, so naturally they are far away from Donghuang.

After a nearly ten-hour flight, the two finally arrived in this area known as the origin of modern industry.

Because of the jet lag, it was daytime when we set off. After flying for most of the day, the sun was still high when we got off the plane.

Xia Chen was a person with super powers and had strong mental power. Lu Jingyan couldn't bear it anymore and took a steel-armored crow taxi to the hotel to rest. Xia Chen took Gardevoir and Doronbaruto to get familiar with the environment.

Quanguan City is located in the geographical center of the Galar region. In fact, before industrialization, Quanguan City, as the ancient Galar Kingdom, was indeed the economic and political center of Galar.

Therefore, the cultural atmosphere here is very rich, and there are ancient medieval buildings that are hundreds of years old everywhere. It is also quite qualified as a tourist city.

Quanguan City is more famous for two other things - the underground energy plant that is said to be able to provide electricity to the entire region, and the Quanguan Gym, which is known as the "Gaar Trainer's Nightmare".

…………

The Quanguan Gym is a dragon-type gym, and its current owner is Qibana, who is very popular online.

In addition to great strength, all popular gym leaders cannot do without another thing in common - good looks.

For example, Lu Lina, Xiao Juer, Qishu, Xia Chen, etc. Of course Qibana also belongs to this category.

In addition to being a bit dark, this guy is tall and handsome, and he is also a fashionista with excellent clothes.

Although he is not a celebrity model, the trendy brands he runs are very well-known. It is said that the endorsement fees offered by the brands he works with start at least tens of millions, which shows his popularity.

In terms of strength, it can be reflected by listing a few recognized evaluations - [The strongest gym leader in Galar], [The powerful rival of the Dan Emperor], [You can become the champion if you leave Galar]

Of course, the last comment was generally disapproved by everyone except the Galar people because it was suspected of being a drag on other regions. Some Sinnoh people also ridiculed Qibana, "First defeat the Dan Emperor and then talk about whether he can defeat Sirona." Bar!"

Although it is not unreasonable, this acquiescence that Qibana can be compared with Dandi Sirona is actually very illustrative.

In this World Gym Leader Competition, Chibana, who has the dual host status of Galar and Quanguan City, naturally participated in the competition and ranked first in the selection competition.

By the way, the other three participating are Lulina from the Water Boat Arena, Kawu from the Jiqing Arena, and Nie Zi from the Spike Arena.

The arena is the same as the gyms in other areas, but they are called differently.

Just like the cities here, except for the largest ones, are all called xx towns. In fact, the sizes of these towns are the same as ordinary cities in other areas.

Xia Chen learned all this information in this world. After all, GF had only gone to Ultimate Sun and Moon before traveling through time, so he was really unfamiliar with the Galar region.

The venue for this World Gym Master Competition is the Quanguan Arena.
