Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

"Something is wrong"

After sorting out this information in his mind, Xia Chen rubbed his brows in distress.

Two orange-level waves of alien beasts appeared in just one month, which is unprecedented in the history of the Ultimate Metropolis for hundreds of years.

If we follow his previous conjecture, it means that the dark matter that controls the Ultimate World has begun to stir again.

But what is the cause of the restlessness?

The frequent exchanges between the two worlds? Sensing that the power in the Ultimate Metropolis is getting stronger and stronger? Or has it been dormant for a long time and finally reached the last step, and is about to take the entire Ultimate World back to nothingness?

Xia Chen couldn't guess which one it was, or maybe it was other reasons.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the time left for the Ultimate World was getting shorter and shorter.

But is his own strength enough?

Xia Chen once again examined the current strength of the elves. Gulton, who was comparable to Rayquaza and Xerneas, was of course the first in the gap.

The horse-riding Bud Crown and Deoxys were slightly inferior, but they were also strong first-level gods that the elves of the level of Moltres could not touch at all.

Next is Zeraora, who was recently conquered and has made great progress in the Crown Snowfield.

If it has enough energy, its explosive combat power may be the key to reversing the battlefield.

Then there are the ordinary elves led by Senbu, Gardevoir and Milotic.

Of course, ordinary is only relative to the legendary elves, and their strength is already beyond the reach of most elves in this world.

But Xia Chen is still unsure whether he can shake the Ultimate Necrozma and the dark matter behind it.

Or maybe, the secrets hidden in them will produce some unimaginable effects at some point?

Frankly speaking, if possible, Xia Chen wants to wait until Senbu and the others have the powerful power of Rayquaza before dealing with this matter.

But time is running out, and the situation in the Ultimate World can no longer wait.

He must set off as soon as possible.

Retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen urged: "Rotom, help me book a ticket to the Alola region tomorrow... No, two tickets will do."

Although the Gulton is faster than the plane, it is more comfortable to fly for such a long distance.

This is true for both Xia Chen and Gulton.

As for the second ticket, it is prepared for the Bud Crown who will never enter the Poké Ball.

Rotom immediately replied considerately: "Got it, Lotom! Two flights for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock have been booked. I wish you a pleasant journey!"

To be honest, with Rotom's current top performance that is no less than that of a supercomputer, it is a bit of a waste to use it to grab tickets.

After successfully booking the itinerary, Xia Chen took a cold shower and was finally able to lie comfortably in bed and rest well.

It is not only the Pokémon that have been hard-working for three months of training, but also the accompanying trainers are exhausted.

It is better to say that because the physical fitness of humans is far inferior to that of Pokémon, trainers are generally more tired during the journey.

After instructing Rotom to wake him up at 4pm to prepare dinner, Xia Chen fell asleep quickly in a drowsy state.

…………

The expected alarm did not sound, and when Xia Chen opened his eyes again, the moonlight outside the window was already hazy.

Without looking at the time, you can know that in summer, it must be at least after 7 o'clock to see this kind of sky.

Could it be that the alarm is broken?

Xia Chen, who was sleeping until his consciousness was blurred, had this thought in his mind, and then immediately denied it.

How could it be possible? Rotom, this electronic ghost, would not crash or anything.

He groped his way out of bed with the clear moonlight coming in from the window. As soon as he opened the door, Xia Chen heard laughter coming from downstairs, and could vaguely smell the aroma of food.

Xia Chen was stunned. Dinner is ready?

Rotom flew up from the stairwell at the right time to complain, "It was the fairy sister who didn't ask me not to wake up your Loto!"

Xia Chen felt warm in his heart.

Sure enough, it is more caring to raise a daughter.

Walking down the stairs, the huge living room was filled with elves, not only Xia Chen's, but also the chief steward of Yuanling Island, Kriska.

The last [Fire Goose] of the Lava Team no longer has the "villain" temperament of the past, and his strength is no longer comparable.

To be honest, the strength of the senior cadres of the Lava Team was actually very average, and they were all no more than the King level. If the Hoenn Alliance had paid attention to them earlier, they would not have had the opportunity to make trouble.

Such a big thing was really thanks to the fact that people in the elf world, which had been peaceful for too long, were not so vigilant.

However, the current permanent acting gym leader of the Yuanling Gym, Kriska, is already recognized by the Donghuang Alliance as one of the "most difficult gym challenges".

The treacherous fighting style trained in the dark organization, the multi-attribute elves that cannot be targeted, and most importantly, the strong strength that continued to grow after settling in Yuanling Island, all made her "good name" widely known among all trainers who aspired to participate in the Donghuang Conference.

At this moment, the woman who was called "Elemental Demon Queen" by many trainers showed a rare look of resentment after seeing Xia Chen.

"Boss, that's too much. If it wasn't for Xianbu coming to the gym to find me, I wouldn't have known you were back."

Xia Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I came back in a hurry, and you saw that I slept until now after I came back. I was planning to invite you to dinner as soon as I got up."

Christina wasn't really angry, but Xia Chen's pitiful words softened her heart.

Sighing, Christina advised: "You are too tired, boss, take a rest this time."

"Uh..."

Xia Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Well... I have booked a flight to Alola tomorrow."

Seeing Christina's face gradually turning black, Xia Chen immediately added: "I will definitely have a good rest when I come back next time!"

Christina's eyes were dim: "Why is it so strange to hear such words as "I will definitely do it next time" coming out of your mouth?"

As a famous pigeon king on P station, Xia Chen has reason to be questioned in this way.

"This time is definitely different, it's really "I will definitely do it next time!"

Xia Chen said firmly: "When I come back this time, I will definitely have a good rest on the island for a while, and I will also give you a vacation."

To be honest, the Yuanling Gym has been open for almost two and a half years, and Xia Chen's total time stationed there is even less than a month.

If it weren't for his special status in Donghuang, he would definitely not pass the annual fixed assessment of the Alliance Gym Department.

So many people now think that the owner of the Yuanling Gym is a beautiful and sassy female demon king, not Xia Chen.

…………

"I have no doubt about your determination."

Christina sighed again: "That's right, don't say such flag-raising words next time, okay?"

Xia Chen: "."

Don't say it, this trip to Alola can really be called a life-and-death struggle.

Christina's unintentional words made Xia Chen feel a little scared.

He quickly found a topic to cover it up, "Okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, I will review the current strength of the King Swallows."

Christina didn't say anything, and the majestic King Swallow on the side responded with his chest: "Hiss!"

As Christina's first partner and also an ace elf, this guy's life on Yuanling Island is also very comfortable.

His eyes are bright and sharp, his feathers are sleek and shiny, and his pair of swallowtails are as sharp as scissors.

This elf, which was only at the gym level when he first met, now has the strength of the king level.

This is not an easy task. Not all Pokémons have unlimited potential like Daigo's Metagross and Taunta's Land Shark.

For a King Swallow whose talent is not top-notch, it is not only due to the accumulation of resources that it has grown to this point, but also due to its own efforts.

It is understandable that King Swallow worked so hard when he was living a precarious life in the Magma Team before. Now that he is living a good life, he is still like this, which shows that his will is not ordinary firm.

After chatting for a while, Xia Chen and Kriska finally started to eat.

The level of the dinner was uneven. From the cooking skills revealed by the dishes, it can be seen that they were obviously not made by a single Pokémon.

It is not difficult to guess which dish was made by which Pokémon. You can see it clearly when picking up the dishes.

For example, when tasting this steamed light cod, Milotic was secretly glancing at himself.

Although I don't know how Milotic, who has no hands, did it, this dish was undoubtedly made by him.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. The meat of the light cod is extremely tender. When steamed, it is delicious with a little soy sauce.

Milotica is one of the first elves to live with Xia Chen. His basic food aesthetics are still very good. This steamed light cod meat is very good.

So there is no need to pretend. Xia Chen naturally showed a surprised expression.

As a cook, he knows that the moment he feels most accomplished is when he sees the guy being fed show a happy expression, so he does not hesitate to express his emotions.

Unfortunately, some dishes can bring smiles without any psychological burden, while more things that can only be called dark dishes, Xia Chen can only pull up the corners of his mouth with tears.

For example, the yellow fruit fried with celery of the Vulcan Moth, the heat is completely fine, and the choice of materials. Although it is a bit strange to use sweet and sour fruit for cooking, it is not impossible.

But how can you cook and put fruits and vegetables into the pot without cutting them!

Xia Chen took a bite of the yellow fruit, which was still raw and cold inside, and forced a satisfied smile.

Kriska could choose only the dishes cooked by Milotic and Gardevoir without hesitation, but Xia Chen had to share everything.

So after a dinner that seemed to taste all the flavors of life, Xia Chen ended his first day back to Yuanling Island with mixed feelings, which was also the last day.

…………

The next day.

Xia Chen arrived at Haole City in the Alola region on time at 2 pm.

It has been more than half a year since the Ultra Cave incident at the beginning of the year. The original order has long been restored here. It is even more lively than it was then because of the appearance of the Ultra World.

On a whim, Xia Chen took the Bud Crown King to visit this prosperous city full of tropical atmosphere for a while, and finally walked to the Alola Pokémon School, which had been in school for a long time.

He still remembered that he stayed here for a while when he first came to Alola. In a blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

This time, the Bud Crown King did not ride his beloved horse in a high-profile manner. He just sat on Xia Chen's shoulders. His thin arms and legs were not a burden to Xia Chen, whose physical fitness could be considered superhuman.

Overall, except for the kohlrabi on his head, he was not conspicuous, and not many people recognized them when they walked on the street.

For the Bud Crown King, since the Crown Snowfield came out, every trip with Xia Chen was a novel experience.

Yuanling Island has only begun to take shape as a city, and overall it is still a social settlement at the village and town level.

Hauola City is different. As the economic center of the Alola region, it is not only comparable to metropolises like Miare City or Feiyun City, but it is also a large and prosperous city with a population of over one million.

Looking at the rows of neat tall buildings, even King Lei Guan couldn't help but show an expression of wonder.

However, there was still business to come here this time. Xia Chen did not stay long at the Alola Elf School, a place where many memories had been left, and soon took King Lei Guan to the Aether Paradise.

This artificial island, which was once the core hub of the Ether Foundation, has now become the headquarters for ultimate world affairs and is heavily guarded.

As one of the top ten permanent directors of the Countermeasures Bureau, Xia Chen was able to swipe his trainer's ID to enter, and then went to visit Dr. Kukui, the head of the Countermeasures Bureau and one of the strongest combat forces in the Alola region.

Because he had made an appointment and communicated in advance, he successfully met Kukui, who was busy with work.

The enthusiastically dressed doctor in the animation was well-dressed for this occasion, but there was an irresistible sadness on his face.

As soon as he saw Xia Chen, he began to vomit his bitterness: "Dr. Xia Chen, you came back at the right time. The Ultimate World has been really troubled recently."

This is not the first time that the two of them have met. They had already met during the invasion of the ultimate alien beasts.

Therefore, Xia Chen was not surprised by the doctor's unserious behavior.

Taking the fruit tea from a sweet and cold queen, he took a sip and said, "I received the message. Is there another orange-level alien beast disaster breaking out over there?"

Kukui nodded with a serious expression, "Well, it's very serious. According to the news from the front line, the scale was even more serious than the disaster of the same level last month. It was not upgraded to red just because the God of Glory did not appear. "

He rubbed his brows in distress and continued: "Since we intervened in the development of that world, the situation has become worse and worse. Now there is a fierce quarrel within the Countermeasures Bureau. A large number of people think that we should completely withdraw from the Ultimate World. Maybe it can make the situation over there better.”

Xia Chen looked calm and did not reply directly. Instead, he asked: "What do Dr. Kukui think of this plan?"

"ah"

Kukui's eyebrows changed and he was confused for a long time before he considered the words and said: "Logically speaking, the bad situation in the ultimate world is not directly related to our intervention, and our departure will not necessarily make the situation better." , so my current attitude is still more exploratory, not to mention from the perspective of the relationship between the two worlds, um, Dr. Xia Chen should understand what I mean, right? "
