Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

After returning to Yuanling Island, Xia Chen's life was quite busy.

He helped the Little Diamonds adapt to the new environment, took Dianxi into the elves' daily training, and went to several companies and research institutes for inspections.

When he found time, he had to replace Chris Jia's squad to guard a few gymnasiums. It wasn't until August that he regained his leisure time again.

But when Xia Chen shifted his focus to the elves, he found that they had undergone considerable changes.

It was a surprise that Xianbu had somehow learned how to control the earth. What Xia Chen didn't expect was that the Cangyan Blade Ghost's strength had greatly improved during this period.

In just one month, his energy intensity went from less than the gym level, which was far behind his friends, to a level close to the king level in one fell swoop.

This also means that the gap between him and the first echelon Senbu and others is getting smaller and smaller.

The rapid to unusual growth rate, Cangyan Blade Ghost's explanation for this is accumulation.

But Xia Chen was still a little worried, so he did a comprehensive physical examination for him. The result was that he was healthy and there was no abnormality at all.

Considering that the elves "have their own special skills," Xia Chen no longer worries about it.

In addition, the strength of other elves has also made great progress during this time.

Taken together, Xia Chen felt that this was a gift from Xerneas before he left.

However, even if the surprise given by Xianbu and Cangyan Blade Demon was so big, they were still not the ones who had made the most progress among all the elves.

This month, the "progressive star" in Xia Chen's team turned out to be a burning insect that had been dormant for a long time.

No, maybe it should be called a Vulcan Moth now.

Yes, perhaps with the help of life energy, or perhaps due to the influence of other factors, the burning bugs completed their evolution at the end of July.

At this time, it is even more than three months away from its first birthday!

You know, this is a burning insect whose development cycle is no less than that of many quasi-gods!

Prior to this, the official record for the fastest evolution of a burning insect into a Vulcan Moth was held by its mother, Adek's ace Vulcan Moth, for two and a half years.

This is more than just a little bit better than the previous one.

Although evolving earlier does not mean that the upper limit will be higher in the future, to a certain extent, this is also a manifestation of talent.

The Vulcan Moth, which had evolved for two and a half years, was already at the championship level. Xia Chen didn't even dare to think about the upper limit of his own Vulcan Moth.

After the Burning Bug evolved, its energy intensity also broke through the elite level and reached the gym level.

It is not as good as the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, but coupled with its outstanding fire ability, it can be used as the main lineup of any gym leader without any problem.

…………

August 10th.

In a certain battlefield in the Yuanling Gymnasium that is not open to the public, a fierce and private battle is going on.

The two elves at war are Vulcan Moth and King Yan.

The trainers standing on both sides of the battlefield are the main director and acting director here, Xia Chen and Kris Jia.

At this time, in the sky above the battlefield, blazing flames and swift wind blades burst out with dangerous auras, interspersed between the two elves soaring in the airspace.

Both Vulcan Moth and King Yan have the ability to fly, which makes this battle a dazzling aerial battle.

"Great King Yan, attack with wings!"

Following Kriska's sweet shout, the King Yan, which looked like a swift fighter jet, immediately spread its sharp knife-like wings, quickly turned around in the air, and suddenly rushed towards the Vulcan Moth's position.

More than a year after coming to Yuanling Island, Huo Yan, the former elite leader of the Lava Team, has not only perfectly fulfilled his duties as the chief steward of Yuanling Island, but has also made great progress in terms of his strength as a trainer.

Take her ace elf King Yan as an example. After moving to the island, not only did her body length increase by nearly half a meter, but her strength also gradually grew from the original gym level to a strength close to the king level today. .

I don’t know if it’s because Yuanling Island’s feng shui is good or because the food is good, or for some other reason.

Returning to the battlefield, Vulcan Moth responded with great composure when faced with the speeding King Yan.

In terms of absolute speed, it is naturally far inferior to the King Swallow, which relies on extreme speed to make a living. Therefore, the Vulcan Moth avoids its weaknesses and exploits its strengths, trying to avoid this fast and fierce swallow through small body skills.

The evolved Vulcan Moth is two meters long. Although its body looks a bit fat, in fact, its flexibility is not weak at all.

After evolving from the burning insect to the Vulcan Moth, in addition to the most intuitive improvement in various abilities, the most important point is that it grows wings and can no longer crawl around on the ground.

From crawling to flying, there are more things you can do.

But I saw the three pairs of red wings of the Vulcan moth flapping, and the spots on them like solar flares seemed to tremble slightly at the extremely fast wing-beating speed.

The Vulcan Moth dodged downwards quickly, barely missing the sprinting King Swallow. However, the wind roared behind him, and the King Swallow, who was clearly out of position, turned over in the air with an exaggerated "U" shape, and turned back. Come!

Yan returns!

Yan Hui, the move name itself is named after King Yan, and no elf understands Yan Hui better than it.

In the Yanhui state, King Yan's speed was even faster than usual. Although the Vulcan Moth heard the rapid whistling of the wind behind him, it was too late to react at this time.

…………

Chi——

In the teeth-piercing piercing sound, the wings of the King Swallow cut across the body of the Vulcan Moth like a blade.

The translucent flying energy lingering on the wings is poured into it.

Then, another slender and deep scratch appeared on the Vulcan Moth's already scarred body.

"Kona——"

Vulcan Moth's eyebrows tightened, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.

But Wang Yan, who was cutting through the sky, had no intention of relaxing at all. The energy in his body was condensed, and he was ready to pursue victory.

The situation was not optimistic for the Vulcan Moth, and Xia Chen behind it had not yet issued an order.

In the past half month since Vulcan Moth evolved, he had fought against Senbu and the others as well as Krisja's elves many times, but he had only given strategic orders.

Not only to cultivate its on-the-spot adaptability, but also to observe and analyze the various characteristics of the Vulcan Moth.

It has many advantages, including outstanding attack power, fast move concentration, and extremely high proficiency in fire moves.

But it is not without its shortcomings, such as not being able to adapt to its newly grown pairs of wings.

To put it simply, the Vulcan Moth is not proficient enough in using its own flying ability.

In order to make up for this weakness, Xia Chen specially invited Kris Jia's Wang Yan as a sparring partner.

So far, it seems to be working well.

While thinking, the sound of falling objects was heard on the battlefield.

Xia Chen looked up and found that the battle was over, and the one falling to the ground was the Vulcan Moth.

It fell under the fierce attack of the divine bird that Wang Yan followed closely.

This result was not unexpected, and Xia Chen was not disappointed. He walked forward with Xianbu to help the Vulcan Moth heal.

A healing wave went on, and the Vulcan Moth woke up slowly. After being stunned for half a second, it looked at Xia Chen with some remorse.

"Kana——(I'm sorry, I lost.)"

Xia Chen smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing to be sorry for. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Everyone grows from failure again and again, even Xianbu is like this."

Xianbu curled his lips, if he wasn't afraid of scaring you at that time, would those children also want to hurt themselves?

But seeing Xia Chen's warning look, she could only nod her head and said comfortingly: "Bu Yi——(Yes, I even cried when I lost the first battle.)"

She was talking about what happened in another timeline.

Upon hearing that even the longed-for Senbu-senpai came here like this, the guilt on Vulcan Moth's face finally disappeared.

“The important thing is to learn from your failures.”

Xia Chen lectured the chicken soup, which was no different from nonsense, "When you can completely understand the reason for the defeat in this battle and find a way to deal with it, it won't be a problem for Little Big Wang Yan."

Chris Jia came over and expressed her dissatisfaction, "Hey, I came here specially to help you with your sparring, and you're going to arrange me like this?"

Xia Chen then remembered that the person involved was still here, and immediately apologized.

"But it's progressing really quickly."

Chris Jia also lamented: "Every time it fights against King Yan, the speed of progress can be seen with the naked eye."

"Hiss!"

Wang Yan straightened his feathers that were a little messy due to the battle, and agreed with the trainer's words.

The gloom on Vulcan Moth's face disappeared little by little under the comfort of everyone.

For this kind of elf who is still in the growth stage, self-confidence is more powerful than anything else in consolidating the belief in fighting.

Seeing that Vulcan Moth finally recovered, Xia Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, let's review the game just now!"

"Kona!"

Vulcan Moth nodded excitedly.

…………

It’s not just the Vulcan Moth who needs to gain combat experience, but also Dianxi, who only started to fight against elves two months ago.

Compared to Vulcan Moth, her temperament is softer, which makes her progress much faster.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. With such a personality, Xia Chen can't train a soft and fufu princess into a tomboy just for the sake of fighting.

He's not that crazy.

So the battle strategy he formulated for Diancie was more defensive and counterattack——

Dianxi, who has extremely high double defense, has the capital to use this tactic.

It just so happens that the overall style of the team is somewhat biased towards strong offense and weak defense.

After spending half a month in peace, Xia Chen received a message from the alliance, Donghuang Alliance.

This is a bit strange. The contact between Xia Chen and the Donghuang Alliance can be said to be very few.

The person who contacted him this time was Jiang Zheng, the vice-president of the alliance, who had also served as the Four Heavenly Kings of Donghuang. The purpose of contacting him this time was about the Donghuang Conference.

He wanted Xia Chen to think of a way to transform the conference venue into one that could become Gigantamax.

Since the advent of Dynamax, many more people have traveled to Galar, and the ratings of the tournament held there have skyrocketed.

The reason is simple. Dynamax games are so beautiful to watch.

It's not that the audience is tired of watching super evolution and super crystallization. The main reason is that the moves of two giant beasts tens of meters high are often exchanged. The scene alone makes people's hearts surge.

The most important thing is that the game in Galar can combine the appearance of three kinds of specialized elves, while other regions only have two kinds, and other places do not have the conditions to become Gigantamax.

And Jiang Zheng's intention is also very direct. If the Donghuang Conference supports Dynamax, the attention and popularity will definitely surpass competitions in other regions.

Whether it is for regional development or external attraction, there has been a great improvement.

I don’t know if Jiang Zheng has done his homework or if it’s just a mistake, but Xia Chen happens to be a professional counterpart in this regard.

Dynamaxing requires the support of the Galar particles emitted by Wujitai, and as for who in the world today can invite Wujitai to the Donghuang area, there should be no other person besides Xia Chen.

Xia Chen's main theme is patriotism. No, love for the region.

He immediately agreed to Jiang Zheng's request without any conditions.

For him, this also makes the game he is participating in more interesting.

Xia Chen, who accepted this request, took the Guldun to Galar the next day.

The Galar region is huge, and no matter how big the head of Wujidai is, it will be difficult to find it.

Fortunately, when Wujitina was released, monitoring and positioning were installed on it.

After asking Dr. Mulan, he found Wujitina on a mountain in northern Galar.

This big guy also did not refuse Xia Chen's request, and readily agreed to visit the Donghuang area during that time.

After reaching an agreement, Xia Chen returned to Donghuang and told Jiang Zheng the news.

The vice president of the Donghuang Alliance was very happy and announced the news on social media that day.

One stone stirred up waves, and as expected, the number of applicants for the conference increased.

For trainers who have not traveled to Galar for a short time, attending the Donghuang Conference is the best time to experience Dynamax.

Even many people from Kandu and Fengyuan, which are close to the Donghuang area, plan to participate in this Donghuang Conference.

At this time, there are still more than two months before the start of the conference in November. If you travel like a special forces soldier, it will not be difficult to collect eight gym badges.

And this just reminded Xia Chen that he had to start collecting gym badges.

…………

Counting his own Yuanling badges, Xia Chen currently only has three badges in his hand.

The other two are the Qianlong Badge that I challenged two years ago, and the Yunze Badge, my neighbor on Yunze Lake.

These are all by-products of winning a sparring match between friends, and they can also be considered a souvenir.

So he is still five short of the eight needed to sign up.

If necessary, it wouldn't be a problem for him to rush to different cities and win five badges in one day.

However, Xia Chen did not intend to do this. He decided to take the most traditional way - traveling and challenging the gym at the same time.

Xia Chen has traveled to famous mountains and rivers in other areas, but Xia Chen has not had a good look at the scenery in his own area.

So, on September 1st, after Xia Chen took care of things at home, he set off again from Yunze Lake in the autumn on Menas.

Zhijiang is located in the southeastern area of ​​​​Donghuang Offshore, so Xia Chen's traveling direction is naturally all the way to the west.

The first stop is Huaijing City, another big city located more than 200 kilometers west of Zhijiang City.
