Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

Being accustomed to the warm spring-like climate of the Giant Tree Hills, Xia Chen felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden return to the cold area.

Fortunately, they didn't have to stay too long this time. After bringing Zeraora back, they could return to the Freezing Village that had been transformed into a paradise by King Lei Guan.

Then, go to Weimei Forest and Pillar of the Sky to pick up the elves practicing there.

Needless to say, although this family of elves usually seemed a bit noisy when they were together, Xia Chen really missed the hard work of cooking and raising children during the time they were apart.

The straight-line distance from the Giant Tree Hill to the Giant's Sleeping Collapse was not too far. I had experienced a round trip, and within half an hour, Luton stopped in front of that familiar temple.

What is very different from a month ago is that the violent electricity that could be seen from a long distance now actually has a somewhat "soft" meaning.

It seems that Zeraora has practiced well during this period and has defeated the electric pillar?

Although he thought so, Xia Chen did not dare to get off Guledun, but let it carry him into the temple.

After all, it's okay if he guessed correctly. If he didn't guess correctly, his body wouldn't be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of a legendary elf's overflowing energy——

Not everyone has the physique of a super true Newtowner.

The internal size of the Electric Temple is not much different from the temples with the major attributes of rock, ice, steel, and dragon, but the material used to construct the temple seems to be highly resistant to electricity.

Although no part of the surrounding walls and floors was charred, the overall structure was still intact.

And before the electricity flowing around inside the temple touched Xia Chen, it flexibly moved around as if it were alive. This made the energy barrier that Gu Ledun put up in advance useless.

Xia Chen was surprised by the changes in these electrical energy, when a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the next moment, Zeraora's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

I don't know if it was Xia Chen's illusion, but its silver-white hair was a little brighter than a month ago, and its overall size seemed to have expanded a little compared to that time.

Xia Chen could still look at it at eye level before, but now he had to raise his head slightly to look at Zeraora.

In addition, the biggest change is undoubtedly its eyes. The original sapphire blue pupils have now transformed into a more beautiful golden blue. If you look closely, it looks like there is electric light dancing in them, which is very agile.

After seeing Xia Chen, the joy in Zeraora's eyes disappeared for a moment, and she said in a calm tone: "Ono——(You are late.)"

The agreement before parting was for one month, but it actually took Xia Chen less than half a month to find the Galar Flame Bird. Plus a month of training, it was indeed several days late.

Xia Chen nodded and replied: "It's my fault. That strange bird was much stronger than I thought, so I stayed there for a few more days, but..."

He paused, glanced at Zeraora with evil intentions, hugged her body in the face of the latter's doubtful eyes, buried his head in the comfortable plush area of ​​the electric cat's neck and sucked fiercely.

Zeraora, who had enough time and reflexes to dodge the legendary elf's attack, did not escape Xia Chen's sneak attack. Its body froze, and its cheeks immediately turned red.

I tried to push this inconspicuous guy away, but the cat's claws, which could easily crush solid rocks, lost their strength.

The helpless Zeraora could only whisper: "Ono... (What are you doing...)"

Xia Chen remained unmoved and buried himself in the fluffy hair and muttered: "It's charging, let me replenish the cat energy for a while."

Zeraora: "..."

…………

After being noisy for a while, Xia Chen chatted with Zeraora about serious matters.

"Speaking of which, how has your practice been during this time?"

Zeraora did not reply directly, but called behind her, and then, a golden elf that looked like countless electric arcs jumped from the depths of the temple.

It was the legendary electric giant that Xia Chen saw in Miss Joy's video.

This elf made of pure electrical energy had no face and could not express any expression, but Xia Chen inexplicably saw a child-like innocence and curiosity in its movements.

Zeraora introduced: "Ono——(Its name is Reggie Ellechi, and he is a friend I met here during this time.)"

It turns out that the electric pillar that I have always called is Reggie Ellechi?

Xia Chen looked at Zeraora's new friend, who seemed to have a mind of only four or five years old and did not look like a legendary elf at all, and asked, "What is going on with you?"

He has seen a lot of legendary elves. Most of them have long lifespans, are mature and wise, and possess an inviolable majesty.

Typical examples are Rayquaza and Xerneas. Even if they occasionally show off their silly temperament, they can still look dignified when serious.

But Reggie Ellechi looks like an ordinary elf who was born not long ago. Anyway, he is um, a little innocent.

Zeraora looked at Reggie Ellech with soft eyes, "Ono——(According to my observation and guess, it was imprisoned here by people from ancient times. The hoop-shaped blue rings on its neck and arms The color circle is what limits its power.)"

Xia Chen asked in surprise: "At that time, humans still had the power to limit and imprison the legendary elves?"

Zeraora shook her head and said: "Ono——(I don't know this, in short, it has been alone in this temple for who knows how long.)"

Xia Chen touched his chin and thought: "According to you, this guy is a bit pitiful? But it doesn't matter if his strength is limited. Is his IQ also limited by that blue ring?"

"Not necessarily. After all, this guy is a pure element creation. Maybe he only has a simple mind like a single-celled creature?"

Zeraora added: "Ono——(Although Reggie Ellechi can't speak, it can use electromagnetic induction to communicate with me simply. This is how I know most of him.) "

Xia Chen scratched his head, this is how electromagnetic induction is used?

As if I didn't study high school physics, right?

The boards of Faraday's coffin could not hold it down!

But in the world of elves, it's normal. Zeraora can do whatever she says.

Thinking like this, Xia Chen asked again: "So, can I also let it chat with me using electromagnetic induction?"

Before Zeraora could reply, Reggie Ellechi suddenly became active, stretching out his arms made of arcs and waving them, looking a little excited.

Xia Chen asked curiously: "What is it doing? Going crazy?"

Zeraora nodded and replied: "Ono - (well, it is about to generate electricity. Although Reggie Ellechi's power is limited by the ring, its energy has not diminished at all, so every day Release some electrical energy to keep the body functioning normally.)"

Xia Chen said clearly: "That is to say, there is still so much energy, but the container is much smaller than before. Do you need to pour out the excess?"

Zeraora affirmed, "Ono——(That's it, that's how the electricity that was running around in the temple came from.)"

Xia Chen was amazed, these two elves, one generates electricity and the other absorbs electricity, so they should just form a team.

…………

As he spoke, Reggie Ellechi's body suddenly expanded to a huge size, and countless electric currents shot out from its body. The entire temple was as bright as day under the electric light.

The violent electrical energy condensed like a storm, and the center of this electrical storm was Zeraora!

This was the first time that Xia Chen observed Zeraora's "charging" process up close. Its silver-white hair stood upright under the agitation of electric light, and its usually calm face showed an expression of pain and endurance.

Obviously, even with the ability to absorb electrical energy like [Electric Storage], it is not easy for Zeraora to handle such a massive amount of current.

The whole process lasted about an hour, and Xia Chen on the side could do nothing more for it except waiting silently.

Fortunately, there were no accidents. Apart from looking a little embarrassed, Zeraora, who had been "reborn", had no serious injuries.

And Reggie Ellechi, who had released his excess energy, stayed quietly next to Zeraora, seeming to be quite attached to the latter.

Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips and asked, "What's going on?"

Zeraora showed a rare expression of embarrassment and said: "Ono——(Since I absorbed its electrical energy, this guy may have regarded me as some kind of companion?)"

Xia Chen touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In that case, do you think it will be willing to follow us?"

Zeraora was surprised, "Ono. (You mean)"

Xia Chen, who understood what Zeraora meant, waved his hand and explained: "No, no, my idea is to let it be your subordinate elf. After all, I am not familiar with it. This is for you."

As he spoke, he threw a Poké Ball towards Zeraora.

Zeraora subconsciously took it, the dark green cat's face was full of sluggishness, "Ono.? (You want me to subdue it. Huh?)"

Xia Chen shrugged, "It depends on what you think. It's okay to treat the Poké Ball as a convenient thing to carry around. It's just a tool. I don't have a problem with it if you're quite its trainer."

When an elf is a trainer or something, Mewtwo has also done that.

We are all legendary elves, what’s wrong with Zeraora?

However, Zeraora obviously did not have this idea. Instead, it seriously considered the previous proposal——

Should we take Reggie Ellechi away from here?

Selfishly speaking, taking this elf with endless electric energy away would do a lot of good for Zeraora, but it was not the kind of cat that would disregard everything for its own selfish desires.

So the most important thing is to ask Reggie Ellechi for his opinion, and the latter’s answer is——

I have no opinion.

Xia Chen was not surprised by this. He had already expected this answer when he saw Reggie Ellechi's inexplicable attachment to Zeraora.

So, let nature take its course, when Xia Chen left the giant sleeping cave, he had another elf ball in his hand that contained Reggie Ellechi.

…………

The one-month agreement with Zeraora was slightly overdue, and the earlier agreement with King Lei Guan was naturally longer.

It was already the end of July when Xia Chen returned to Dongning Village from the depths of the Crown Snowfield.

Looking back, it was early May when I came to Hualang Town from Fengyuan area.

Very good, even the two-month agreement with Menas was late.

This time I really deserved my name on the P site - I am not a Cuckoo Pigeon.

Xia Chen thought so.

When he returned to Dong Ning Village, of course he didn't see King Lei Guan.

How can God appear before believers so easily?

But more than a month has passed, and Dong Ning Village has completed a huge transformation.

The newly built houses, the well-proportioned streets, and the endless crowds of people make it hard to imagine that more than a month ago, this place was still an inaccessible small village.

As expected of a world where elves exist, infrastructure construction is fast.

But what is more important is the power of faith, which is the key to gathering so many people and resources in Dongning Village.

This is certainly a good thing for King Lei Guan, who feeds on faith.

Xia Chen did not rush to find King Lei Guan, but stayed at the Elf Center first.

With the development of the village, the elf center has also undergone a round of renovation and expansion. The original shabby hall is now almost the same as the elf center in a big city like Quanguan City.

Due to the increase in the number of trainers coming and going, there are also many more staff receptionists in the lobby, and the person in charge is still Miss Joy Lian.

"Long time no see, Miss Joy."

Xia Chen greeted with a smile: "You have become a big star, why are you still working in this small elf center?"

After that incident, Ms. Joy, who showed wit and bravery in the "disaster", also became a new top internet celebrity.

In this era where traffic is king, it is definitely more profitable to bring Poké Balls than to be an alliance civil servant who guarantees revenue during droughts and floods.

Joy Lian, who was looking at the computer, suddenly heard a familiar voice. She raised her head in surprise, and what came into view was a handsome face with a shy smile.

The surprise in her eyes flashed away, and then Miss Joy put on a disgusted face and said in a sinister manner: "How am I a big star? Isn't it all thanks to you?"

The arrogant expression was exactly the same as that of Zeraora when they reunited, but Xia Chen did not dare to do the same thing to Miss Joy now.

He coughed slightly in embarrassment and asked, "Where did you start talking about this?"

Miss Joy chuckled, "If you, a humanoid beast, hadn't attracted that flame bird, how would I have had the chance to appear on camera? Isn't this all thanks to you?"

Xia Chen was speechless.

Normally, he would definitely refute things like coincidence, metaphysics, etc., but he really planned this!

Although he could ensure that the entire incident would not cause any casualties or other losses, from the perspective of Miss Joy and the villagers, it was a close call.

Therefore, Xia Chen had to bear the blame.

He sincerely apologized: "My fault, I didn't expect the Flame Bird to really come."

Xia Chen relented, and Miss Joy could not blame her any more. After all, from her perspective, the Flame Bird was not instigated by Xia Chen.

She softened her tone and said, "Well, I don't blame you. Besides, our place is a blessing in disguise. It has developed well."

The topic changed and Miss Joy asked: "Do you still want to stay this time?"

Xia Chen nodded, "Well, I'll stay here for a day and then leave."

"Eh"

Miss Joy held her head and asked curiously: "Are you leaving Galar?"

"yes."

Xia Chen smiled and said with emotion: "I have been out of contact for more than two months. It's time to go back."

Miss Joy covered her mouth and smiled exaggeratedly, "It's great, Galar is finally going to return to peaceful days."

Xia Chen had a dark look on his face, "Hey, that's not the case, is it?"

"Just kidding."

Miss Joy suddenly said seriously: "I wish you a smooth journey in the future and good luck in martial arts as a trainer!"

"What the hell is Wu Yun Changlong?"

Xia Chen complained softly.

"Okay, don't be so embarrassed."

Miss Joy picked up her cell phone and stood up and came to Xia Chen's side. She chuckled and said, "Let's take one last souvenir photo!"

Xia Chen hummed and smiled, "Okay, then I reluctantly agree."

Miss Joy had a strange look on her face and turned to look at Xia Chen with a "what are you thinking about" look, "I'm talking about taking a photo with Vulcan Moth, what are you thinking about?"

Xia Chen: "."

This woman definitely did it on purpose!
