Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

“常�

A fireball brimming with explosive energy was launched instantly, its target neither the Poké Ball with its damaged switch nor Eevee, but...

Xia Chen!

…………

Xia Chen recovered from the shock much earlier than Diego, after all, this was the plan he wanted to carry out.

During the time Diego gave the order, Xia Chen did only one thing: retrieve the Poké Ball from the table.

The first step of the plan has been executed perfectly. The enemy's manpower has been reduced to only one Pokémon by High Speed ​​Star. So what needs to be done next is also very simple.

That means releasing Milotic and his allies to create a situation where they outnumber the enemy.

The "few" here doesn't refer to Houndoom, but to the poaching trio!

Xia Chen showed no mercy to this most filthy and disgusting creature in the elf world.

Xia Chen reacted quickly, but the two poachers, Pi and Kiel, were not slow either.

More importantly, they were much closer to the Poké Ball than Xia Chen was.

After realizing the current situation, the two rushed towards the two Poké Balls that were scattered on the ground and closest to them without hesitation.

Xia Chen ignored them, grabbed the nearest Poké Ball in one hand, and shouted, "Kornee, help me get that Dive Ball!"

Milotic is second only to Eevee in strength within his team, and its type advantage over Houndoom is also significant. The only way Milotic can win is if it and Eevee unleash their full power together.

Pi and Kiel naturally heard Xia Chen's voice and immediately realized that the ball contained Milotic, which posed the greatest threat to Houndoom.

They immediately abandoned their attempts to retrieve the other two Poké Balls and instead rushed towards the dark blue ball located in the middle of the group.

The quick-witted Korne kicked the diving ball towards Xia Chen's position.

"Xia Chen, answer this."

Before she could even utter the word "ball," Korni saw the blazing fireball shooting straight toward Xia Chen from the left.

She screamed, "Watch out!"

"Buyi!"

…………

Feeling the surging energy within him, Eevee knew there was no better time to evolve than now.

Through the tempering and refinement along the way, the purity of the energy within her body, as well as the affinity of her entire body for Fairy-type energy, has almost reached the limit that an Eevee can achieve.

And so much suppression and forbearance will eventually erupt.

Eevee gazed at the Houndoom radiating a powerful aura and understood that only evolution could offer a chance to turn the tide.

With his mind made up, Eevee no longer suppressed the instinct within him to evolve into a Pokémon.

She could feel a continuous stream of white evolutionary light points gathering around her. Having already undergone one evolution, Eevee knew that she was about to complete her transformation.

As the light points continued to converge, Eevee's body grew warmer and warmer.

But the scene before her eyes sent a chill down her spine.

A blazing fireball, which was constantly expanding into a large "X" shape during its flight, was flying towards Xia Chen at an extremely fast speed!

This is a huge explosion!

It's an elite-level Black Rhino with a powerful burst attack!

Even I couldn't possibly withstand a move of this caliber, yet its target was Xia Chen!

"Buyi!"

terror, anger, regret, despair

Complex emotions swirled in Ibrahimovic's mind, and reason was completely overwhelmed in that instant.

At this moment, she had forgotten that she was still evolving, and all she could see was that person who looked so tiny under the fireball.

Ibrahimovic charged toward the fireball at the fastest speed he had ever seen, trying to intercept it before it hit the person he cared about most.

Even if it means using one's own body.

Her speed increased, and at the same time, the evolutionary light emanating from her grew stronger.

The Xerneas Horn in the bag beside her was now emitting a rapid, multicolored light.

The purest fairy-type energy, originating from the progenitor of fairies, continuously flowed into Eevee's body, causing even Xerneas Horn itself to appear somewhat dim.

Under the blessing of this mysterious power, the white light representing evolution on Eevee's body sublimated into the same multicolored light as Xerneas's horn.

But Ibrahimovic, focused on heading towards Xia Chen, was completely unaware of this.

Even if she notices it, she won't feel the slightest bit emotionally.

Her eyes were fixed on the front, and with the support of the unknown energy within her, her speed increased once again.

Finally, before the big attack hit Xia Chen, Ibrahimovic arrived!

At the same time, the dazzling light emanating from her body reached its climax.

…………

"boom--"

The deafening roar echoed through the mountains and forests, and in that instant, a radiant light, even brighter than the sun, burst forth from the clearing beside the stream.

The large, star-shaped fireball collided with Eevee's body, and was then absorbed and dissolved into nothingness by a mysterious power emanating from Eevee.

Diego and his Heruka stared in disbelief at the scene.

They were shocked not only by the failure of their own Big Explosion, but also by the unprecedented phenomenon happening to Ibu.

Is this evolution?

But how could there be an evolution with five-colored light?

Xia Chen stared blankly at the ball of light blocking his way, feeling not only lingering fear but also overwhelming gratitude.

Is it really true that Ibrahimovic would be willing to take that huge attack that could kill her too?

No, she should be called Sylveon now!

The multicolored light gradually faded, revealing a beautiful spirit that no one in the world had ever seen before.

Her entire body was as white as snow, but her ears, tail, and the lower half of her slender legs were a delicate and bright pink, like cherry blossoms.

Two pink and white ribbons were tied around her neck and on her left ear, respectively.

Two silky ribbons fluttered automatically from the inside of the bow outwards without any wind.

What's most captivating are her pale blue eyes, bright yet serene, like black holes that firmly draw in all who look at her.

…………

Undoubtedly, this is a beautiful elf that can amaze almost everyone at first glance.

Yet, this very elf, who could almost be synonymous with cuteness, now revealed a chilling murderous intent in her eyes.

I will not let anyone who dares to hurt Xia Chen get away with it!

Unaware that danger was quietly approaching, Diego stared at the elf he had never seen before with fascination, his eyes filled with greed.

He had assumed this Eevee had evolved into Umbreon, but it turned out to be...

Diego didn't know her name, or even her attributes, but what did it matter?

A new Pokémon that has never appeared in the world before!

Her value is greater than any of those four elves!

And they will all be mine!

At this moment, the madness in Diego's eyes reached its peak.

"Houndoom, Flame Charge!"

He never even considered the possibility of being unable to defeat this unknown form of Eevee; evolution isn't a cheat code.

Aside from special cases like Magikarp and Feebas, a Pokémon's strength doesn't change significantly before or after evolution.

Diego concluded that even if it evolved, this Eevee's strength would at most have just entered the senior level.

It is no match for Houndoom, which has been at the Elite level for several years.

Generally speaking, Diego's reasoning is indeed correct.

But can the angle between Ibrahimovic and Xerneas be described in a general way?

…………

Enveloped in flames, Black Rhino was like a vicious dog returned from hell, charging straight towards Xia Chen's location.

He knew that Sylveon, who was blocking Xia Chen's way, would definitely not dodge, so no matter who the target was, he should just go for Xia Chen.

But Xia Chen, having realized his mistake, wasn't about to let himself get into trouble again. He threw out a Poké Ball with one hand.

A flash of white light, and Milotic and Riolu appeared on the open ground.

Perfect, the two strongest Pokémon in battle!

After marveling at his luck, Xia Chen then placed his hand on the escape device he carried with him.

He said softly, "I have something Vladali gave me that can protect me. You go and deal with those three."

"Buyi!"

"Leo!"

"Fuwoo!"

The three Pokémon responded in unison and instantly charged out, splitting into three groups and rushing towards the poaching trio.

The situation is reversed instantly!

Diego stared in astonishment at Xia Chen, who was facing Black Lucas's charge alone, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Sending out all the elves and leaving only yourself is suicidal!

Then, he saw Xia Chen step on the ground and instantly unleash two waves of flame, taking off from the spot.
