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

As for how she did it...

Previously, Xia Chen could barely see clearly due to the distance, but with the help of the camera today, this mystery should be solved.

…………

In the distance, Fairyclops and the Violent Turtle grew further and further away, almost becoming tiny grains of rice on a giant tablecloth.

Fortunately, with the help of modern equipment, Xia Chen adjusted the magnification of the high-definition camera, allowing the image to be magnified several times and presented in the live broadcast room. He then used the live broadcast room to answer the questions in his mind.

Watching Xianbu's livestream myself is quite a novel experience!

Unlike herself, Xianbu didn't have a specially made chair. Even at a 90-degree angle, she still secured herself to the back of the Violent Turtle using the same silk ribbon.

Xia Chen watched in amazement, marveling at how versatile it was.

Chapter 153 The Power of Water Manipulation: Milotic Ascends to the Top of Dragonfall!

6.2k!

In the video, the monstrous turtle carrying the fairy cloth is at the junction of the waterfall and the pool, and has begun its final sprint before climbing the waterfall.

The Berserker Turtle is extremely fast. Given that its strength is only at the Senior level, the only possibility is that its special ability is to move freely.

"A paid comment from the Riverside says: Reporting to Master Pigeon, in this place, Master Yi's speed has surpassed yours and Milotic's!"

Tsk, what a messenger brat.

Xia Chen was speechless as he listened to the paid message coming through his headphones.

He retorted, unconvinced, "What's the use of speed? If waterfall climbing is all about who's fastest, then wouldn't agile bugs be able to reach the top anytime?"

While this sounds reasonable, it's actually a bit of sophistry.

Just like the classic snail climbing a wall, sliding down as it goes up, waterfall climbing is similar. With the same force, naturally, the faster the better.

Undoubtedly, the Viper Tortoise has a greater natural advantage than the Milotic.

However, the difference between the two Pokémon becomes apparent later on.

After charging for over ten meters at the beginning, the Berserker Turtle clearly started to run out of steam.

Under the surging torrent, the body of the Berserker Turtle began to sway precariously.

After all, they are wild elves that have not been carefully bred, so they cannot achieve balanced nutrition and comprehensive development.

Although this Devourer is fast, its strength is far inferior to Milotic's.

So the question is, how were they able to climb more than forty meters under these circumstances?

Xianbu's next amazing move quickly answered Xia Chen's question.

Just as the raging tortoise was about to collapse, the ribbon that Fairy Cloth had left suddenly shot out and tied itself to a protruding rock between the waterfalls.

At the same time, the other ribbon binding the Devouring Turtle exerted force, and the previously stagnant Devouring Turtle suddenly climbed several meters upwards under the drive of this external force.

Xia Chen: "."

Are you doing waterfall climbing?

Are you sure you're not doing rock climbing?

Referee, I want to report someone for using a physical cheat!

…………

Unfortunately, this event is not a competition, so there are no referees.

Xia Chen didn't receive a ruling from the referee; instead, he was met with merciless ridicule from his fans.

"Hilarious! The combination of Sylveon and Dratini is greater than the sum of its parts. Master Pigeon is truly a burden to Milotic."

"Master Pigeon, please let Milotic go. He can fly even higher without you."

"Is it possible that if Master Yi and Milotic teamed up, they might actually reach the summit?"

"Speaking of which, Master Yi's silk looks really useful. It's so flexible and can be stretched and shortened at will. Isn't that much better than using your hands? Wait, I have a bold idea!"

"Regarding your audacious idea, I have a fist the size of a sandbag, and I'm going to beat you to death for Master Yi!"

Xia Chen was a little numb from the barrage of paid comments. These days, there are all sorts of people!

However, if it really is a collaboration between Sinbu and Milotic, there might actually be a chance?

The Berserker's range is around 20 meters, but with Sylveon's help, it can reach over 40 meters. Milotic can also reach over 40 meters, so its own range is probably negative 10 meters.

A simple addition and subtraction calculation doesn't seem to be wrong, does it?

However, glancing down at Milotic's fiercely competitive eyes, he probably couldn't accept the fact that his opponent had suddenly become his teammate.

After thinking about it, he still didn't bring up the suggestion.

While Xia Chen was lost in thought, Fairyclops and the Berserker Turtle's waterfall climbing training was almost over.

At first glance, it looks a little higher than yesterday's last training session.

However, Xia Chen didn't know how much higher it was, since he didn't have the abnormal observational skills of someone like Xianbu.

In short, judging from the reactions to the paid comments, it should be Sheer Veil herself and Milotic.

Xia Chen felt a little melancholy. Was he really such a useless trainer?

…………

Waterfall climbing is an extremely physically demanding activity.

After another training session to get a feel for the game, Xia Chen took the elves to a small island in a pond to replenish their energy and chat with his fans about his travel experiences over the past few months.

But to everyone's surprise, these six guys weren't interested in the interesting travel stories at all; instead, they asked all sorts of strange questions.

"Thank you [What is the relationship between Master Pigeon and Miss Ma Xiu] for sending a hundred sweet balls. She is my best friend in the Carlos region. Please don't ask such questions in the future. Maybe the other party involved is also in the live broadcast. It will be awkward."

While wiping Xianbu's body with a towel taken from the storage ball, Xia Chen carefully answered sensitive questions.

"Thanks to [Master Pigeon, why hasn't my Eevee transformed yet] for sending 100 Great Balls. If you mean transforming into Sylveon Eevee, then I can barely answer your question."

"My assessment is, don't rush. Even with your exceptionally talented Master Yi, it took her half a year to evolve into Fairy Cloth. How long have you been nurturing her? Spend more time building a relationship with her, and then nurture her with the finest fairy gems. It will be quick."

"When will the Beauty Energy Cube be released? It'll be soon. Two of the ten Feebas in the experiment have already evolved. It's expected to be around June."

……

[Master Pigeon, I really want to become a trainer aiming to win the Grand Contest, but my mom disagrees. She thinks this path has no future and insists that I become a Rhino Rider. What should I do?]

A long, paid message caught Xia Chen's attention. He pondered for a moment and said seriously, "I can't comment on your family affairs. I'll just say some things that are certain. The major leagues are discussing the establishment of the [World Coordinator Association]. The major leagues will also be holding regional grand tournaments next year, and there will be similar tournaments like gymnastics matches before the grand tournaments, forming a stable competition structure. You can wait for this news to be released before discussing it with your family."

After a pause, Xia Chen continued, "The emergence of a new thing is bound to be met with skepticism and testing, but I am very confident in the future of the Grand Contest, not just because it is a performance format that I proposed, but because it fills a gap."

"We all know that Pokémon have different natures. Some are born to fight and become stronger, like Rhyhorn, but there are also Pokémon that don't like fighting. Moreover, less than one percent of all trainers can become professional trainers."

"In this environment, the emergence and popularity of glamorous performances and grand competitions are inevitable, not to mention their strong entertainment value. The public enjoys them, and the alliance strongly supports them. I believe that in the next ten years, it will be the most valuable emerging trend in the entire elf business ecosystem."

Xia Chen concluded, "You can send this video to your mom, but I don't know if she'll agree."

Thank you, Pigeon Master! I know what to do now. By the way, my name is Serena, and I will definitely become the most famous Coordinator in the Carlos region in the future!

Although the machine's voice was emotionless, everyone could hear the determination in her words.

The live chat was instantly filled with well wishes.

Xia Chen smiled slightly. "Great, I've saved another lost girl."

Wait, she seemed to have said her name was Serena?

Xia Chen suddenly fell into deep thought.

------

At 11:50 a.m., there were still ten minutes until the grandest event of the Waterfall Climbing Festival, the "Wanling Waterfall Climbing" event.

The mountains are a cold, grayish-blue, the sky a desolate blue, and it seems that only the surging water exists between heaven and earth.

Under the dazzling yet not glaring sunlight, Longyue Waterfall stands quietly like a giant iron gate connecting heaven and earth, seemingly waiting for a spirit to conquer it.

Without any organization, but by convention, thousands of water spirits gather at the junction of the waterfall and the pool.

Xia Chen looked around and saw that besides his Milotic and Sylveon's Drednaw, there were also swimming champions like Gyarados, Golduck, and Poliwag.

The pairings of Xia Chen and Xian Bu are quite eye-catching, but they have little to do with Xia Chen.

The rare Milotic and Sylvanas are particularly noteworthy.

In addition, many people expressed considerable shock at the fact that Sylvanas was leading a Ghoul to climb the waterfall.

However, since this was not a formal event or competition, most people were amazed and no one was making any noise or complaints.

"Next, I will not say a word and will successfully reach the summit!"

Xia Chen expressed his firm determination to the viewers in the live broadcast room, which drew the attention of those around him.

That kid's pretty arrogant!

Xia Chen, whose skin was as thick as a shield-and-sword monster, didn't even blush. He climbed onto Milotic and made his final preparations.

Once I put on my swimming goggles, I don't care about anyone!

At exactly twelve o'clock, as a loud bell rang from the tallest clock tower in Lianli Town, echoing throughout Dragon Leap Waterfall, all the elves set off.

If viewed from a distance, one can see an irregular straight line slowly moving upwards from the bottom of the Dragon Leap Waterfall, which resembles a white ribbon.

That was a struggle between humans and spirits against nature.

In the sky, several professional photographers, carrying cameras, swam between the water and the sky, recording the spectacular scene of the creatures challenging the power of nature.

The journey to Wanling Waterfall begins here.

…………

Milnas' initial speed was not fast.

I didn't feel anything when climbing the waterfall alone, but the difference in speed became apparent when compared to others.

Gyarados, Golduck, Poliwag, and even Dratini all overtook Milotic one by one.

Sensing Milotic's restlessness beneath him, Xia Chen used one hand to soothe him, "It's okay, this isn't a competition, let's play at our own pace!"

"Fuwoo!"
