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

"Buyi!"

"Laru."

Xia Chen was healing Absol when Sylveon and Ralts suddenly spoke in unison.

"Sylveon, Ralts, what's wrong?"

After treating Absol's external injuries, Xia Chen looked up at the two serious-looking Pokémon.

Sylveon and Ralts looked at each other in surprise, both seeing the worry and fear in each other's eyes.

At the same time, an idea arose in their minds.

Did she also know about what was about to happen?

But how did she know?

"What's wrong? What were you trying to say?"

Xia Chen looked at the two elves who seemed to want to say something but didn't, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Sylveon turned to Ralts and said, "Sylveon? (You go first?)"

Ralts hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the way they were going back and said, "Ralts—(We must leave here immediately!)"

Sylveon's expression tightened. Ralts really knew about His arrival. Was it with the help of that mysterious ability?

It should be.

Xianbu nodded in agreement.

Xia Chen guessed, "You mean we need to leave immediately?"

The two elves nodded in unison.

Xia Chen hesitated for a moment before looking at Karuni. She shrugged and said, "I just asked a friend to inquire with the relevant agencies in both cities, and they all said that all disaster monitoring in Carlos has been normal recently. Here's the information, you can decide whether I stay or leave."

Having received this crucial information, Xia Chen hesitated before looking at the two elves.

Although their expressions were very confident, Xia Chen still asked somewhat unwillingly, "Can't you even catch two Flying-type Pokémon to help us avoid the disaster?"

Sylveon and Ralts shook their heads in unison.

Xia Chen suddenly realized something, and asked with a solemn expression, "So, the disaster predicted by Absol wasn't a natural disaster?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xianbu nodded solemnly in affirmation of Xia Chen's statement.

Xia Chen was startled and felt a chill run down his spine.

…………

Karuni frowned as she looked at Xia Chen and the two elves, who were speaking in cryptic language, her mind filled with confusion.

With just a few words and a few gestures, Xia Chen seemed to understand everything, yet he himself remained completely confused.

She was never one to beat around the bush, so she asked directly, "Did you and Ralts guess something?"

Xia Chen said solemnly, "Have you heard of the [Cocoon of Destruction]?"

How could Karuni not have heard of the legend that has been circulating in the Carlos region for thousands of years?

Legend has it that when Yveltal reaches the end of its lifespan, it will absorb the life force of all living beings and return to its cocoon form.

This cocoon is called the Cocoon of Destruction!

When Yveltal awakens, he will destroy everything in his path.

Simply put, it's being grumpy when you wake up.

But the legends of elves' morning grumpiness are not so simple, let alone the Great God Y who controls death.

If that giant really does awaken, not only myself, but even if Carlos, the current champion Senares, came, he wouldn't be able to stop it.

Karuni took a deep breath and calmly asked, "But how did you know that Yveltal was about to awaken?"

Xia Chen was speechless. He knew his own elf was special and could completely trust it, but Karuni did not.

He could only say helplessly, "I don't have direct evidence, but Absol's warning and the information my two Pokémon obtained through special means should be enough to raise our awareness."

After a pause, Xia Chen continued, presenting possible evidence, "Furthermore, if Dr. Blatano's deduction is correct, the appearance of Yveltal is also reasonable. Those three legendary elves exist for the ecological balance of Kalos, and now the overactive life energy has awakened the sleeping god of death."

Karuni rubbed her temples. "I'm willing to believe you, and I can help you contact the mayors of Baike City and Yingxue City, but I really can't guarantee how they will respond."

"Will Yveltal awaken? When will he awaken? Where will he awaken? Without knowing any of these things, getting millions of people to migrate with their elves and belongings is no easy task. The manpower, resources, and finances required are immense. What if it turns out to be a false alarm?"

Xia Chen understood what she meant. It was almost a pipe dream to make those people believe that Yveltal was about to awaken based on just one Absol, two senior-level Pokémon, and a weak and immature deduction that was barely related.

He sighed and said slowly, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

I wouldn't say it's fully recovered, but rather that it's mostly restored.

Let's start with 6,000 today to warm things up.

I'll start being a macho man again in a couple of days!

Chapter 159 Absol's Choice

“Ab.”

Absol, who was lying on the ground, finally woke up slowly, and the first thing she did upon waking up was to stand up and prepare to leave.

The kindness that is almost ingrained in her genes made her want to warn more living beings, even when she was in such poor physical condition.

Absol had just shakily gotten up when a pair of warm, large hands forcefully pressed her back down.

"Ab!"

She glared angrily at Xia Chen, who had saved her, not understanding what he wanted to do. He had clearly promised to let her go after she was healed!

Xia Chen gently massaged Absol and said softly, "You're too tired. Your strength is completely depleted. If you set off now, you won't be able to run very far."

She desperately wanted to get up, but those warm hands seemed to have a magical power, causing Absol, who had always been alone, to inexplicably develop a feeling called dependence.

She tried desperately to break free from this gentle trap, but she couldn't move at all.

"Look, your strength is so bad that even I, a human, can't break free. Take a good rest."

Yes, it's because my physical strength is too poor right now, not because I'm reluctant to leave this feeling that I've never experienced before.

As she walked down the steps that Xia Chen had specially made for her, Absol gradually calmed her panic and lay peacefully on Xia Chen's lap.

Xia Chen shook his head and chuckled. Another elf who even deceives herself.

I'm not from Super Pallet Town, how could I possibly have the strength to trap a Pokémon?

…………

Ignoring that, Xia Chen got down to business: "Absol, I want to know, can you sense whether the impending disaster is a natural one or caused by the elves?"

Absol, in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, subconsciously shook his head.

She could only judge the occurrence of the disaster based on the rhythm of the sky and the earth, but she did not know the reason for the abnormal rhythm.

But why would this human ask such a strange question? What elf could cause something that could be called a "disaster"?

Absol muttered to himself.

No, there's one!

Absol, who had lived on this land for decades, immediately thought of a possibility.

The legendary Pokémon that exists in the form of the [Cocoon of Destruction]!

Absol was startled and all sleepiness vanished.

If it really is Him, then my uncertainty about the disaster can be explained.

Because that powerful being was still in the prelude to awakening, the rhythm was naturally not so obvious.

"Ab!"

Absol was so excited that he tried to get up again, but Xia Chen pressed him down once more.

"Don't worry, my companions have already notified the two nearest cities through advanced human technology."

He first reassured Absol, then asked, "We need you to do what we can't. Do you know when Yveltal awoke? And where?"

Xia Chen looked at Absol with a nervous expression.

If these two key factors can be identified, then everything will be much easier.

Before the Cocoon of Destruction awakens, evacuating all people and elves in the vicinity of that area will minimize casualties.

As for the plants and trees other than humans and elves, I can only apologize.

Under Xia Chen's tense gaze, Absol shook his head and then nodded.

Xia Chen: "."

What does it mean? You know, but you don't fully understand?

Just as Xia Chen was wondering how to communicate with Absol, Sinbu, who had been quietly listening beside him, suddenly stepped forward.

“Buyi—(I'll talk to her.)”

…………

At that moment, Karuni returned from her phone call.

Although she hadn't spoken yet, Xia Chen could already tell the result from her expression.

At this moment, Karuni resembled a doctor who had just come out of the operating room and was about to say, "I'm sorry, I did my best."

As expected, Karuni said, "I've already spoken with the top leaders of both cities, and they asked if there's any more direct evidence?"

As expected, Xia Chen shrugged and replied to the official response: "Absol might be able to predict when and where Yveltal will awaken, but that can't be considered direct evidence, right?"

Karuni nodded helplessly.

Xia Chen suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious, did you predict Xerneas's awakening?"

Karuni was speechless.

Xia Chen suddenly sighed, "Perhaps it's precisely because Xerneas didn't cause any damage when it awoke that the League's higher-ups believed that legendary Pokémon weren't actually that destructive."

The legendary elves of this world are very prestigious and rarely appear in front of humans, especially the "cover gods".
