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

……

The feeling of being blessed was very obvious; with every gesture, Xia Chen could feel the changes in the power within his body.

The changes weren't significant, not even comparable to the noticeable changes brought about by my two months of training in superpowers.

But the focus is not on changes in physical fitness, but on a very wonderful feeling that originates from the mind.

Xia Chen, whose mental strength was already strong, could clearly sense that he seemed to have developed a mysterious bond with Milotic and Doromecia beside him.

Xia Chen tried calling out to Milotic and Little Dragon in his mind, and they seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.

Telepathy?

Xia Chen felt a surge of excitement. If he could have the ability to communicate telepathically with dragon-type Pokémon, that would be wonderful.

He called out in his heart, "Can you hear me? Nod if you can."

However, neither Milotic nor Toro reacted.

It seems that they still can't communicate telepathically. Xia Chen pondered, thinking that they probably just have the ability to sense the inner thoughts of dragon-type spirits, like Long Yue and the others.

Now that I think about it, when Dragonite said "messenger of the dragon," he probably meant that he should also have the same abilities as the members of the Dragon Family, right?

Milotic and Doromecia, standing beside him, also had different understandings of the "Blessing of the Dragon God," silently experiencing the changes brought about by the gift.

Seeing that Xia Chen and the two Pokémon had awakened, Dragonite said, "Alright, let's go. Let's not disturb the Venerable One's rest here."

After saying this, she bowed reverently to the dragon pillar, then turned and left.

Xia Chen followed Dragonite's lead, taking Milotic and Dragapult with him.

No one noticed that as Doron Mesia turned to leave, a string of dim particles of light suddenly floated out from Reginald Lago and attached themselves to Little Doron.

------

Long Yue was surprised that Kuai Long had taken Xia Chen to see the Dragon Island Venerable. According to her, this was a privilege reserved for core members of the Dragon Taming Clan.

He is also the first outsider to receive this honor among all the people who have visited the island over the years.

Xia Chen pondered to himself that Dragonite made this decision after examining Milotic, and he even praised Milotic's pure and noble bloodline, so he must have benefited from his own Pokémon's influence.

He's living off his own elf again!

Xia Chen muttered to himself, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He was already used to this kind of situation.

At first, Xia Chen might have felt a little ashamed, but later, all he wanted to say was that he had a bad stomach and could only eat soft food.

Having successfully captured his fifth Pokémon and unexpectedly received a blessing from an unknown legendary Pokémon, Xia Chen's trip to Dragon Island came to a perfect end.

Long Yue also picked up her elf. The two discussed it and decided to stay here for another night before leaving the next morning.

After all, this place is quite far from Donghuang. If we set off now, we would probably have to fly in the dark, and it's not only uncertain whether the elves would know the way, but it's also not safe.

So they pitched their tent and began their last night on Dragon Island.

Without a trace of human society's hustle and bustle, the night on Dragon Island was very peaceful, but Xia Chen was not bored, because there was an important matter to attend to tonight.

He was going to hold a welcome ceremony for the new member of the team, Xiao Duolong.

Although this is in the wild, the welcoming ceremony doesn't need to be too grand; just enough to show everyone's welcome to Dorgonmesia.

At the same time, this was also a farewell banquet for Doron Mesia as she left Dragon Island, and Xia Chen also invited the little dragon cubs around to see the little Doron off.

The dragon cubs were very enthusiastic about the food that was rarely seen in human society on Dragon Island.

Xia Chen didn't know what the relationship between Xiao Duolong and them was like before, but the farewell banquet was a scene of joy and harmony.

Finally, the atmosphere became lively, and at the suggestion of one of the giblets, they danced a circle around the campfire to send off the little dragon.

"Messi."

The warm flames of the campfire were reflected in Xiao Duolong's big, bright yellow eyes, and his gaze shone with a light of emotion.

Xia Chen smiled and raised her camera to capture this heartwarming moment.

…………

Because there was plenty of food prepared beforehand, and the little dragons didn't have big appetites, the farewell and welcome banquet came to a perfect end after feeding every elf who came to the bonfire party.

As the campfire died down, the dragon cubs scattered back to their nests, and Xia Chen and his own elf crawled into the tent.

After a long day of traveling, taming spirits, and receiving blessings, the exhausted Xia Chen quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The energetic elves looked at each other, then unanimously turned their attention to the little dragon who had just joined the team that day.

The four spirits have been together for a long time, some for as little as half a year, and others for almost a year.

Although they still have some little secrets about each other, they know each other quite well.

As for this new little guy, they were very curious about whether any "magical changes" had occurred in Xiao Duolong after he joined the team.

They tacitly surrounded Dorommesia, and after exchanging glances, the senior, Senbu, spoke first.

“Buyi—(Don’t be afraid, this is just an internal meeting. We regularly use this to exchange information. You’ve just joined the team, so we called this meeting immediately to discuss something small.)”

Dorgon Messia blinked and asked, "Messi—(Does the trainer know about this?)"

Xianbu raised an eyebrow in surprise. This guy might not seem very bright, but he's actually quite clever!

However, I, a movie star, have been working on film sets for ten years, and there's never been a scene I couldn't handle.

She replied matter-of-factly, "Buyi—(Of course I don't know. A mature Pokémon should learn to share the burdens of its trainer. You're not just some lazy bum who only knows how to crawl into Xia Chen's hair, are you?)"

Simple is often the most efficient. With a little provocation, the unconvinced Little Dragon fell into Sylvanas's rhythm.

He nodded, indicating his willingness to join the meeting.

Sylveon nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said, "Sylveon—(This meeting will be conducted in a question-and-answer format, where each Pokémon can choose one target to ask a question. I'll start by demonstrating.)"

…………

"Buyi—(Asking Dorgonmesia, has anything changed about you today?)"

Doron Messia tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and replied, "Messi—(Of course I do, I know Xia Chen and you guys!)"

Xianbu: "."

Of course I know that, can you please stop answering with nonsense?

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Dorgonmesia was pretending to be stupid or simply had no other answer.

But the rules had been set beforehand that a Pokémon could only ask one question, so she had no choice but to reluctantly give Milotic the next chance to ask a question.

Milotic pondered for a moment, then asked, "Fuwoo—(Asking Doronmesia, is there any sound appearing in your mind?)"

Upon hearing this, Draco Messia didn't react much, but Kirlia looked at Milotic with surprise.

Does the voice in my head also possess the "Elf Life Simulator"?

Milotic also noticed Kirlia's strange look and gave her a triumphant smile.

That look clearly said, "I've found you!"

Kirlian immediately realized that she had been exposed. This guy, who was supposed to be looking for new teammates, was still trying to take advantage of his old teammates.

The good news is that he also learned the secret of Milotic.

Over there, after pondering the question for a while, Little Dragon suddenly realized and said, "Messi—(You mean after today's blessing, we seemed to hear the trainers calling us, right?)"

Milotic paused for a moment, suddenly understanding how Xyzsuds had felt.

That's true, but that's not what I wanted to ask!

This guy either genuinely has no secrets, or he's really good at playing dumb!

…………

Milotic also lost in this game. According to the order of joining the team, the next one will be Kirlia.

Kirlia's little eyes darted around, and she decided to follow Milotic's example and try a little trick.

"Chiru—(Asking Dorommesia, can you enter another world?)"

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at her companions out of the corner of her eye to observe their reactions.

Sylvanas remained expressionless, Milotic looked puzzled, and Zoroah's expression was exactly the same as his own just now!

Hmm. What's going on?

Could it be that Zorua also has a Pokémon simulator?

But can't Minas also hear the system's voice?

Perhaps this system is not that system?

Kirullian was completely bewildered and could only wait for Dorgonmesia's reply.

Little Duolong reacted most strongly to this question, nodding excitedly and saying, "Messi~ (Of course you can! I can enter another dimension through a stealth attack; it's a void, there's nothing there. Can you do it too?)"

Kirullian: "."

How come this answer is both reliable and outrageous?

Now, the only hope for the entire village rested on Zoroya, and all the elves turned their attention to the little fox, putting even more pressure on Zoroya.

After pondering for a long time, the little fox decided to cut to the chase, "Yo—(Asking Dorgonmesia, do you think your abilities can help Xia Chen in the future?)"

…………

hiss--

Upon hearing this question, the other three Pokémon gasped in shock. Zoroar's aggression was truly astounding!

She directly assumed that Dorgonmesia must have a secret, and then used Xia Chen to force him to tell her.

The implication was clear: we're laying our cards on the table; we all have secrets, and our secrets can help Xia Chen.

What about you?

Moreover, this question leaves Xiao Duolong with enough privacy. If he is sincere, he only needs to answer yes or no, without revealing his secrets.

Regardless of whether he answers yes or no, the premise of possessing a secret remains fixed.

What they wanted to know was simply the answer to this question.

Sylph and the others nodded approvingly at Zorua.

As expected of Zoroah, he asked the question that no one else could ask so easily!
