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

Xia Chen thought of a possibility, "Was it a gift from Xiao Duolong?"

"Messi~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Doronmecia happily flew out from the group of elves and nestled on Xia Chen's hair.

He was very happy that Xia Chen guessed the gift he gave him right away, because it meant that the trainer understood him.

"Only you could come up with such weird and wonderful things."

Xia Chen smiled and patted Xiao Duolong's pompadour. "Thank you, I really like this gift."

"Messi~"

Little Dragon pointed to the computer, indicating that this was also thanks to Rotom's cooperation.

"Thank you too, Xiao Luo."

Xia Chen was generous with his praise.

You're welcome, Loto~

Xia Chen suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, can you go back into the phone?"

"No problem, Loto!"

Xia Chen was even more satisfied, since he often used his phone more frequently than his computer.

Having won the first battle, Xia Chen opened the second box, which contained a light pink fruit—this was all too obvious.

"Zoroark, did you send this?"

Xia Chen looked at Zoroark, who nodded slightly. Although his face was expressionless, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Psychic-type moves?"

Xia Chen guessed.

"Swoosh~"

Zoroark nodded affirmatively.

Xia Chen smiled knowingly, "Thank you, I'll eat later."

Let's continue unpacking.

…………

The gifts the elves gave each had their own unique style; for example, Milotic made an extremely beautiful bracelet from his shed scales.

There are two strings in total, one pinkish and the other bluish. They look like they'd be suitable for girls to wear. You can tell what he means just by looking at Minas's sly look.

Let's each get a skewer of Mingyi and Xilona.

Xia Chen patted Milotic, who was trying to help him, with satisfaction, "Good lad, I didn't spoil you for nothing."

However, now is not the best time. Let's save it for later and find another opportunity.

The gifts from other Pokémon were similar; they might not be as valuable as Zoroark's Move-Move Fruit, but they were still a token of their goodwill.

However, when Xia Chen finished unpacking, he discovered that one of the gifts seemed to be missing. It wasn't the newly joined Money Spirit or Guleton, but Gardevoir.

Xia Chen was somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that he insisted on receiving Gardevoir's gift, but Xia Chen felt it wasn't like Gardevoir's personality.

Or perhaps it's inconvenient to put Gardevoir's gift in a box?

Xia Chen looked toward Gardevoir's location, only to see her walking gracefully toward him with a "you guessed right" expression and a smile on her face.

Seeing that she wasn't holding anything else, Xia Chen became even more curious.

What gift will Gardevoir prepare for itself?

But then Gardevoir's body slowly approached, its slender, cool little hand gently grasping Xia Chen's left hand and pulling it upwards.

Xia Chen was a little confused. What was Gardevoir trying to do?

Something feels a little off.

When it reached her chest, Gardevoir paused slightly and then placed Xia Chen's left hand on her chest.

Xia Chen nervously swallowed, just as he was about to stop Gardevoir's inappropriate behavior, when suddenly something unexpected happened.

A strange wave suddenly surged from Gardevoir's chest, then traveled up her arm and into her body.

This feeling was very mysterious. Xia Chen could tell that it was something completely different from energy fluctuations, but he didn't know what it was.

It feels more like a power originating from the heart.

Xia Chen closed his eyes and meditated, carefully listening to the surge of this power within his body. Wherever it passed, he could sense as if something had been unlocked.

This power doesn't seem like an amplifying agent; it's more like a key.

A key that helps Xia Chen awaken a certain ability.

The unprecedented clarity in his mind gave Xia Chen a completely new sense of perception of the world before him.

I gradually understood everything!

…………

Is this the power of waveguides?

Xia Chen didn't speak, but instead spoke to Gardevoir with his mind.

This is an ability he has just naturally acquired, not the kind of acquired ability like speaking or walking, but more like the innate ability of a baby to cry and suck as soon as it is born.

"Sanai~ (That's right, it's the power of Aura. Do you like this gift?)"

Gardevoir smiled with narrowed eyes and nodded.

The tone of Gardevoir was still in his ears, but Xia Chen inexplicably understood the meaning behind Gardevoir's words.

Undoubtedly, this is one of the ingenious applications of waveguide power.

Of course I love it, thank you for the gift, Gardevoir!

Xia Chen's upturned lips revealed his barely suppressed joy.

While the power of waveguides may not be the strongest ability in the world, it is certainly the most practical superpower.

Telepathy, detecting the environment and objects, and using materialized waveguides for attacks or barriers.

This is a multi-functional, almost omnipotent ability.

Because of Lucario's existence, this ability has become the coolest ability in the hearts of Pokémon fans, including Xia Chen.

Starting today, I am also a warrior of Waveguide!

Xia Chen was filled with excitement and wished he could immediately launch a wave missile to test its capabilities.

However, he currently possesses the power of waveguides but has not yet mastered other ways of using it besides detection and telepathy, so he still needs to familiarize himself with and practice it.

Xia Chen was practicing using Aura and chatting enthusiastically with Gardevoir, while Mingyi was completely confused. In her eyes, the two were acting out a pantomime.

She asked suspiciously, "Are you... talking?"

Xia Chen smiled slightly and responded to her guess with telepathy.

[you guess?

Let's give this little Muggle Mingyi a little waveguide shock first.

As expected, Mingyi stared wide-eyed at Xia Chen's mouth, which hadn't opened or closed at all, with an incredulous expression on her face.

"This is."

"The power of waveguides".

Xia Chen explained, "It's the one from Lucario."

In theory, everyone possesses aura power, but most creatures cannot manifest their aura power. However, if we want to explain aura power, Tilucario is sufficient.

Mingyi nodded in realization, "Oh, you mean the waveguide for wave missiles, etc.? How did you get it?"

Xia Chen smiled slightly and casually used his superpower to perform a classic telekinetic spoon-breaking trick for her.

He said, like a child showing off a toy, "I also have superpowers."

Upon seeing this extraordinary scene, Mingyi's first reaction was not shock, but worry: "So are you human or an elf now?"

Xia Chen was speechless. "She's definitely human, you idiot. Cattleya's superpowers are stronger than her elf's, so does that mean she's not human?"

Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good. It wouldn't be good if it were an elf."

There is no such outrageous law in this world that allows humans to marry elves.

…………

After receiving the gifts from the elves, Xia Chen enjoyed a birthday feast prepared by Mingyi and the elves.

To be frank, he has a decent appetite, but compared to Xia Chen's level, that's just relying on...

Regardless, the meal was a token of their appreciation, and Xia Chen seemed to enjoy it, at least on the surface.

After lunch, Xia Chen returned to the training hall inside the Brewing Tower, this time not only to train the Pokémon, but also to train himself.

Putting aside the use of Aura for now, we can first study the specific abilities of that Technique Fruit.

With the power of Aura, Xia Chen was no longer a clueless idiot who couldn't understand Elvish. Before eating the fruit, he asked Zoroark, "Can you tell me what kind of move this fruit is?"

Zoroark didn't hide anything and replied, "Zoro (teleportation)."

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise; this was indeed a very practical move.

Given the intensity of his superpowers, it's unrealistic for him to win against opponents with even a modicum of strength, but in crucial moments, teleportation can be a lifesaver.

Seeing that the world is becoming increasingly dangerous, having the ability to teleport for self-protection would be ideal.

Xia Chen smiled and hugged Zoroark, ruffling her fluffy head in gratitude. "Thanks, Zoroark, a very crucial move-fruit."

"You're welcome."

Soroark turned her head away to hide her shyness, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her inner turmoil.

After evolving, Xia Chen rarely hugged her like before. For her now, a hug is like a switch, bringing back memories of those beautiful times.

Only at times like these would Zoroark shed her cold exterior and reveal her soft heart to Xia Chen.
