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

Page 166

Fortunately, the drone was destroyed by the aftershock of the explosion during the first clash, preventing it from capturing the rest of the fight. Otherwise, the earth-shattering battle between Sylvanas Windrunner and Yveltal would have been broadcast live worldwide.

Now we can attribute the energy source that blocked Yveltal's evil wave to Xerneas, since no one can verify it with him anyway.

However, a second person knew about this. Xia Chen looked at Karuni and earnestly requested, "Could you please not tell anyone about the fairy cloth?"

"I see."

Karuni looked at Xia Chen with approval at his choice and readily agreed.

As a well-established public figure, she understood that exposing this would bring Xia Chen and Xian Bu no benefit other than false fame.

With great power comes great responsibility, especially when it's a one-time ability.

Furthermore, although Xia Chen's Sylveon did indeed do something that most trainers could never do in their entire lives through special means—battled a legendary Pokémon for ten minutes—

However, Xia Chen is still a rookie trainer who has only been in the industry for a short time and needs a long time to grow.

It seems he should be very aware of this.

Karuni was pleased that Xia Chen had such a clear understanding of her.

The two then discussed the aftermath and follow-up of the incident.

Ultimately, because Xia Chen didn't think the Pokémon Center could provide better healing services than the God of Life, he decided to stay there until Sylveon woke up from its coma before returning to Belcher City.

Fearing that Xia Chen might be in danger again, Karuni also chose to stay and help.

As for the outside world, Xia Chen only informed a few people he cared about, such as Mingyi, Maxiu, and Professor Da Mu, that he was safe and sound. He also posted a simple update on Pixiv saying "[People are safe and sound]" and then ignored everything else.

Little did he know the uproar his post would cause.

------

Although there have been precedents of legendary spirits awakening and causing far-reaching effects.

But Yveltal's resurgence has still sparked waves of heated discussions worldwide.

The immense destruction caused, the world-shaking live broadcast, the dramatic course of events

These have all become topics of great interest to everyone today.

As the person at the center of the storm, Xia Chen naturally became the most frequently mentioned word on the trending search list, second only to Yveltal.

Especially after people discovered during a live stream of drones tracking Yveltal that he was the hero who silently chose to sacrifice himself to save Snowdrift City, his reputation almost reached the point where the people of Snowdrift City should erect a statue of him.

Just when everyone thought Xia Chen was dead, a post from Pixiv [I'm not a pigeon] stirred up another storm.

Thank you for your concern. Both Eevee and Yveltal are safe. Yveltal is missing. Trainers in the wild, please be careful.

This short but highly informative statement instantly sparked heated discussions among people around the world who were following the event.

"Holy crap, a live pigeon master!!"

"It's good that you're safe. I'll never call you a dead pigeon again."

"Hello, this is Interpol. To rule out the possibility that this post was actually sent by Yveltal after he stole your phone, please cooperate by going live to explain the situation!"

"Waaaah, I knew it! Good people are always protected by heaven. Even Arceus doesn't want you to die!"

"Oh no, I posted that I'd give up twenty years of being single in exchange for Master Pigeon's safe return, and it's going to come true. Master Pigeon, you have to take responsibility for me!"

"Master Pigeon, could you tell me what happened? There's no other reason, I just want to know what to do if I encounter Yveltal in the wild next time."

"Is there even a question? It must have been Xerneas who made the move, otherwise what? It couldn't have been Sylvanas, could it?"

"Bu Shen: It doesn't matter, I will take action."

"Stop trying to be clever. Even if I were a die-hard fan of Master Yveltal, I couldn't imagine a scenario where Sylvanas could fight Yveltal to a standstill."

"What do you mean Yveltal is missing? I'm a little scared here in the Galar region."

"We can only say that he has disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, would Master Pigeon still be needed to subdue Yveltal?"

"Sigh, compared to these legendary elves, human power is still too weak. Xerneas, being friendly, is alright, but Yveltal..."

…………

Simple blessings, questions about the process, and concerns about what will happen next.

The comments section of Xia Chen's post was filled with all sorts of discussions.

But apart from that, many people, both openly and secretly, reacted differently to this news.

The skies above White Sandalwood City in the Carlos region.

As he rode on the back of the three-headed dragon toward the Enchanted Forest, Carlos, the current champion, secretly breathed a sigh of relief while keeping an eye on the latest developments online.

Frankly speaking, knowing the gap in strength, he had prepared for the worst when facing Yveltal.

This is the responsibility he bears as a champion.

Fortunately, the incident was almost over before he arrived.

But with both great gods awakened, Carlos's future is unlikely to be peaceful.

Senares gave a wry smile, thinking that he must be the unluckiest champion in history.

……

Donghuang area, Zhijiang City.

Mingyi, who had been on tenterhooks all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she made a decision she had thought about many times.

Stepping out of her room, Mingyi looked at her parents in the living room, who were watching the news broadcast about the awakening of the divine beasts, and said, "I've decided, I won't go to Beijing University, I'll go to Orange Academy in the Padia region!"

Looking at his determined daughter, the old father took a deep drag on his cigarette, remained silent for a long time, and finally respected her decision.

He knew that this incident had a profound impact on Mingyi.

That old and free special school was perhaps more suitable for her growth.

……

Miare City, Team Flare base.

As Vladali listened to the holographic communicator, where Bara, who was responsible for tracking Xia Chen, gave a still-shaken report on the dangerous work she had just done that day, he fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, he said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Bala. Thank you for your contribution to a better future world. Let's put the matter of tracking Xia Chen on hold for now. From today onwards, I will personally take charge of all his affairs."

Bara was taken aback, not expecting the leader to value Xia Chen to this extent, but she knew this wasn't something she needed to worry about, so she quickly calmed herself down and asked, "Understood, esteemed Mr. Vladali, but what strategy should we adopt?"

Sitting in his boss's chair, Fladali gently stroked the docile Flame Lion beside him and said with a smile, "We will do everything we can to firmly bind Xia Chen, who is currently the only one in the world who has connections with both target Pokémon, to Team Flare, no matter what the cost."

Bara replied respectfully, "Understood, Mr. Vladari, but Yveltal possesses far greater destructive power than we imagine, and I am concerned."

Vladali laughed heartily, "The more it's like this, the more it helps us achieve our ultimate goal, isn't it?"

A flicker of excitement and fervor flashed in Bara's eyes. "I understand, great Mr. Vladali!"

After turning off the communicator, Vladali's smile gradually faded, and he rubbed his brow with a worried expression.

Even if we outsmart them, we're still far from being able to capture Xerneas and Yveltal with our current strength.

If there is a power beyond the mortal realm

…………

"Buyi."

Slowly opening her eyes, the first thing Xianbu saw was Xia Chen, who was lying on his side sleeping soundly beside her.

The familiar aura confirmed Xenbu's suspicions. Had he survived? Xerneas must have arrived just in time at the last moment.

The final outcome was exactly the same as in the previous life. No, thanks to my interference, Yveltal did not cause widespread destruction to human society.

In a way, it saved Yingxue City.

But Xianbu wasn't happy at all. Although it sounded selfish, she cared more about Xia Chen's safety.

This time, Xenbu felt extremely guilty for dragging him into this danger because of the Xerneas Horn he had found.

She didn't want Xia Chen to be in such a dangerous situation again in the future, and before she and Laltras had grown up, the best way was to avoid the risks.

Fortunately, with Yveltal awakened, the fighting between the divine beasts will not happen again in the short term.

My own strength is ultimately too weak.

Sinbu sighed, then began to examine his own body.

She was surprised to find that her physical fitness, energy circulation speed, and the purity of her fairy attribute energy had all reached a new level compared to before.

Other more conventional aspects, such as attack, special attack, defense, and speed, need to be tested during training, but they should also see a considerable improvement.

Was it a benefit of Xerneas's treatment after he fell into a coma?

Xianbu immediately guessed the correct answer, but after all, it was a blessing from a mysterious legendary elf, and she didn't know if there were any hidden benefits besides these apparent advantages.

However, Xianbu was not greedy. It was enough that he and Xia Chen had survived safely, and the blessing from the God of Life of the same attribute was an unexpected surprise.

By the way, what happened to that antler in the end?

Xianbu suddenly remembered this and got up to try to find it, but he couldn't.

"Are you looking for that antler? It was originally part of Xerneas's body, but he took it back."

Xia Chen, who was beside her, woke up at some point and answered her questions.

So this is ah

Xianbu breathed a sigh of relief; she felt no regret or disappointment at losing it.

On the contrary, she was happy that her little friend, who had been with her for several months, had finally found a happy ending.

Hey, wait a minute, is Xia Chen awake?

Xianbu suddenly realized this.

"Buyi."

She turned around stiffly, bowed her head in self-reproach, and admitted her mistake.

She still felt guilty for involving Xia Chen in this dangerous incident.
