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

Now, at this crucial moment, Gardevoir has given what seems to be a "it's okay" hint. Do they know something?

Xia Chen subconsciously looked at Xianbu beside him, only to see her also frowning in thought, with an expression that seemed to indicate some suspicion, yet also confusion.

It seems that only Gardevoir knows the origin of this Pokémon.

Given that the Pokémon haven't made a single wrong judgment so far, Xia Chen's anxiety has lessened considerably thanks to Gardevoir's reassurance. However, he still wants to clarify some things.

Xia Chen turned to look at Gardevoir, "So, this is another legendary Pokémon?"

"Sana."

Gardevoir silently shook her head.

Xia Chen, who knew his Pokémon intimately, knew that Gardevoir meant "I don't know," not "I don't know."

But that's not the key point. Xia Chen continued, "So, is it friendly to humans?"

Gardevoir nodded in affirmation at this question.

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was a legendary elf or not didn't matter, as long as there was no danger.

During the inquiry, the mysterious creature on the ship's radar was getting infinitely close to the yacht's location.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen decided to go out and greet this uninvited guest.

"Do you really trust your elf's judgment that much?"

As he stepped out of the cabin, Qi Shu asked softly.

"Of course, I believe it more than I believe it myself."

Xia Chen replied matter-of-factly, "My achievements today are all thanks to their hard work."

Strange Tree: "."

Reason told her that Xia Chen was talking nonsense, but the genuine emotions in his words made Qi Shu feel that this guy really thought that way.

What an enigmatic guy.

…………

The uninvited guests arrived earlier than Xia Chen had expected, and their entrance was even more unusual than he had anticipated.

Just as they stepped out of the cabin, a streak of orange-red shooting star suddenly streaked across the azure sky. Before Xia Chen and the elves could react, the mysterious elf crashed into the sea not far from the yacht.

The immense inertia from the extremely high speed caused waves to splash up more than ten meters high on the sea surface, also accidentally blasting up a large group of innocent wild creatures.

Xia Chen: "."

Alright, we can pretty much confirm it now. Even if this guy is a legendary Pokémon, he's definitely more comical than those that can't fly or those bighead fish.

"Gardedoll, is it alright for Milotic and I to go check it out?"

Out of caution, Xia Chen consulted Gardevoir before joining in the fun.

"Sana~"

Gardevoir nodded lightly, indicating that there was no problem.

"That's good. You guys wait for me on the boat."

After saying hello, Xia Chen sat on Milotic's back and then jumped into the water with him.

Milotic was very fast in the water, and soon brought Xia Chen to the place where the mysterious elf had fallen into the water.

When Xia Chen got closer, he discovered that this Pokémon, whose speed could exceed the speed of sound, was actually an orange-red Motolizard.

Calling it a motor lizard isn't entirely accurate, as there are many differences between the Mystic Elf and the Motor Lizard, aside from color.

For example, the tuft of white feathers on its head, and those two white, thick, long things that look like the pheasant feathers of the Monkey King.

Aside from that, in terms of size and various physical details, this elf and the Motor Lizard have subtle differences.

A typical motor lizard wouldn't exceed two meters in length, but this "motor lizard" is definitely close to three meters long.

Overall, this is a robust, majestic, and outstanding limited-edition vermilion Motor Lizard.

Whether it's a legendary spirit or not is another matter, but it certainly looks like a powerful spirit.

While judging people by their appearance is unacceptable, judging elves by their appearance does have some basis in elf studies.

Through observation and summarization by generations of researchers, this has become a general rule: Pokémon that appear weak are not necessarily weak, but those that appear fierce are invariably formidable.

Garchomp, Tyranitar, and Hydreigon are typical examples of pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

This majestic, high-spec motorcycle lizard looks every bit the powerful figure it is.

Although this powerful figure, who was already in a state of weakness and exhaustion and whose eyes were about to close at any moment, was now surrounded by a group of light cod, who seemed to want to devour him.

In this unnamed sea area, a scene of "a dragon swimming in shallow waters being teased by shrimp" is about to unfold.

Xia Chen naturally wouldn't let this Pokémon, which was suspected to be a divine beast, die before his eyes. He patted Milotic beneath him, and the latter immediately understood and rushed over.

There are countless powerful Pokémon in the ocean, including many Gym Leaders and even Elite Four members. However, the ocean is vast, and these Pokémon cannot be found everywhere.

These light cod naturally don't have any truly powerful individuals; the strongest among them is only at the elite level. Milotic can easily drive away these small fish and shrimp.

Before long, under the intimidation of Milotic's power, the light-bodied cod scattered like birds and beasts, while the vermilion motorcycle lizard, whether due to exhaustion or drowning, closed its eyes and sank helplessly.

Xia Chen quickly directed Minas to rescue it and bring it back to the ship.

…………

On the deck, Xia Chen, Ming Yi, and Qi Shu, along with a group of elves, curiously surrounded the mysterious elf, trying to find out its origin.

"Rotom, do you recognize it?"

Xia Chen's first thought was naturally to ask Rotom, who, with his backing from the internet world, theoretically knew all of human knowledge.

However, the result was disappointing.

"This Pokémon is not listed in the current Pokédex, Loto!"

"Have you seen a motorcycle lizard?"

Having accompanied Principal Clavel on his travels across the country, the Motor Lizard, who should have seen and experienced much, curiously examined the elf that resembled one of its own kind and shook its head.

So, perhaps only she knows the truth. Xia Chen cast a hopeful gaze at the solemn-looking Doraemon.

"Xianbu, do you know it?"

"Buyi."

Xianbu neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply stretched out his silk and pulled Xia Chen aside, as if he wanted to whisper something to him.

Xia Chen understood and opened the memo app on his phone, then handed it over. Xianbu used the silk tip to type rapidly on the phone.

A short while later, she pushed the phone back; the previously blank memo page now contained several lines of text.

"The legendary spirit of the Padia region, Guleton, is an ancient paradoxical species of the Moto Lizard. It is believed to have escaped from Zone Zero. It is temperamental and may have a violent side."

Xia Chen felt a chill run down his spine. So it really is a legendary elf?

But what exactly is this ancient paradox?

He did know about Zone Zero; it was the official designation of the Padia Crater, a mysterious place that very few people could ever glimpse or enter.

His temperament is changeable and tyrannical. We need to be wary of that.

Xia Chenzi carefully read through the text, memorized it, and then deleted it.

"Thanks, Ibu."

Xia Chen patted Fairybu's head and returned to the legendary elf named "Guleton".

…………

When Xia Chen and Sylveon returned, Gardevoir was trying to use Healing Pulse to treat the unconscious Gulerton, but it didn't seem to work.

It's not that it's completely ineffective, but rather that the life energy output is insufficient to meet the healing requirements.

Undoubtedly, this is due to the difference in strength between the two elves.

If a weak Pokémon is injured, Gardevoir needs to control the amount of Healing Pulse used to avoid energy overflow that could damage the Pokémon's body.

If you encounter a powerful spirit, the opposite is true; the gist is: a toothpick stirring up a large pot.

One toothpick may be useless, but using multiple methods is always better, no matter how small.

While Gardevoir and Sylveon continued to heal from the outside, Xia Chen also tried to feed them the full recovery medicine.

After more than ten minutes of resuscitation efforts, Guleton gradually regained consciousness.

Noticing that its orange-red webbed feet twitched, Xia Chen quickly told the two elves to stop treating it and led them and the other elves back ten meters away.

Therefore, it must have been in a battle or something else to be in such a sorry state. Having just woken up, it must be very wary, and doing this would at least make it feel safer.

Qishu's three Gym Leader level Pokémon stood in front, ready to unleash Protect at any moment, while everyone waited anxiously for the mysterious Pokémon to awaken.

Before long, the lying-down Guleton finally opened its eyes. As expected, its eyes were full of vigilance, in addition to a hint of bewilderment at the unfamiliar environment.

Its sharp, lightning-fast gaze swept over Xia Chen and his group ten meters away. Gu Leton opened the feathers on the top of its head, as if it were about to take off and leave, but its physical condition prevented it from even moving.

"We don't mean any harm."

Xia Chen didn't approach rashly, but stood at a distance and called out, "It was Milotic and I who rescued you just now, do you remember?"

Therefore, Leighton's eyes moved upward, as if he was recalling something.

Before losing consciousness, it seemed that he did indeed see a Milotic in the water?

The wariness in his eyes lessened, and Leighton's tense body gradually relaxed.

It's unclear whether she truly believed Xia Chen's words or was secretly mobilizing her energy to heal herself.

"Are you hungry? Do you need me to provide you with some food, energy cubes or fish are fine."

Xia Chen tried to further strengthen his relationship with Guleton. After all, a guest is a guest, and it's always better to be on good terms than to be on bad terms, especially since this was a legendary elf.

Therefore, Leighton didn't even have the strength to shake his head; he merely glanced to the side in disdain.

However, its rumbling stomach honestly protested.

Xia Chen shook his head helplessly, went into the kitchen to quickly prepare the light cod meat he had just collected and made sashimi. He then took a large box of sweet energy cubes and placed it in front of Gu Leton before retreating to a safe distance.

It has done everything it was supposed to do, so whether or not it eats is its own business.

After dealing with everything, Xia Chen dismissed the elves who had gathered to watch the spectacle, "Alright, everyone, disperse. Just don't pay too much attention to it, and don't get too close to it."
