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

As soon as he finished speaking, the raven leader flapped its wings, and a wave of dark energy, barely charged up, shot out, hitting and stunning both of the dragon Mesias without any suspense.

With two near-godlike creatures in hand, the poachers excitedly discussed the matter in hushed tones.

"Haha, this trip to Daguo Lake was worthwhile. Two quasi-god cubs, enough to feed us for a whole year."

"Let's hurry up and leave. Don't forget the boat that was moored by the island before we got there."

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? He's lucky he didn't run into us. If he had, he could have sold more elves when he got back!"

"All right!"

The burly man seemed to be the leader of the four-person team. He interrupted the other three's conversation and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, don't cause any trouble."

…………

From the bushes behind them, Xia Chen watched this scene and sneered inwardly.

There's quite a bit of drama involved, and it actually seems genuine.

He suddenly wondered how the other party would handle things if he didn't show up.

However, that would not benefit their subsequent actions. Without hesitation, just as the group was about to take out their Poké Balls to capture Dragapult, Xia Chen made his move.

To be precise, that's why Leighton made his move.

A bright orange figure darted out of the bushes like lightning, rushing towards the poachers.

The burly man was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Chief Crow, Bronze Bell, come back and guard it!"

At the same time, he took out several more Poké Balls and threw them out. Gastrodon, Bisharp, and several other Pokémon blocked his way, gathering energy and using Protect together.

Because they had been spying on the poachers, Leighton and Xia Chen were nearly a hundred meters away from them, which gave the poachers and the Raven leader enough time to react.

Acting is acting, but they wouldn't joke about their own lives.

Among the Pokémon carried by the burly man, three were Gym Leader level Pokémon capable of using Protect.

Although even if all three of them combined couldn't defeat Guleton, they could still withstand Guleton's sneak attacks.

The orange-red halo that had transformed into Guleton stopped in front of the Guardian spell cast by the three elves.

Its opponents, the three Gym Leader level Pokémon, used Protect, but they were still pushed back by the enormous impact of the full-power slam, causing several poachers standing behind them to stumble.

"Sir, we concede defeat!"

The disparity in strength was too great, and the burly man shouted this at Gu Leton's back without any backbone.

"Just name your terms, as long as you let us leave!"

It must be said that the burly man's acting skills were superb; his astonishment, fear, decisiveness, and feigned composure after discovering his opponent's formidable strength were all perfectly portrayed.

The facial expressions, constantly changing with the actor's emotions, made it seem completely natural and not like an act at all.

Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't an act.

After all, with a legendary spirit exuding immense power standing before them, their lives were indeed in someone else's hands.

In this play directed and acted by their own team, the other protagonist had never even seen the script.

If Xia Chen gets aggressive, the two big shots a few kilometers behind them really can't save them.

…………

To make their identity as Pokémon poachers more convincing, the strongest Pokémon they carry are these three Gym Leader level Pokémon.

If they were any stronger, they wouldn't seem like poachers anymore.

So after the three Pokémon teamed up to use Protect to block a wave of attacks, these "poachers" were as vulnerable as lambs to the slaughter.

Xia Chen has no intention of killing them, of course, referring to now.

He chuckled softly to himself.

A team should be organized and orderly, and there's no rush.

Carrying Gardevoir, Xia Chen slowly emerged from the bushes and stood before several poachers who were giving a French military salute.

The burly man forced a calm smile and said, "Young man, let us go. Besides these two dragons, we also caught a mini dragon. You can have both."

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Even if I kill you, they'll still be mine, right?"

The burly man cursed inwardly.

This guy's serious!

I initially thought this young man, fresh out of university and barely an adult, would call the police and have himself arrested. But judging from his eyes, he was truly intent on killing me.

In desperation, he quickly said, "We still have stock! We brothers have been doing this for over ten years, we've got plenty of money! Whatever resources you want, whatever kind of spirit you want, we have it all!"

"Oh?"

Xia Chen nodded and said calmly, "Put all these Pokémon away, and then give me all the Poké Balls you have on you."

Damn, this bastard has an insatiable appetite! He's even more ruthless than our Galactic Team!

The burly man cursed inwardly, but could only feel impotent rage. He recalled Crow Head and Bronze Bell, and under the watchful eyes of Guleton and Gardevoir, the group obediently placed the twenty-odd Poké Balls on the ground in front of Xia Chen.

Although they have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of Pokémon, the overwhelming difference in strength cannot be compensated for by sheer numbers.

The burly man breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the Poké Ball.

This means that Xia Chen probably won't be thinking of killing them anymore. Although they would have no chance to resist after handing over the elves, the real killing move wouldn't be their elves.

Thinking about the fate of the person who had caused him such great humiliation, he suddenly felt less distressed.

Although that's what he was thinking, the burly man still flattered him with the professionalism of an actor, saying, "Young man, look..."

Xia Chen glanced at him expressionlessly. "Tie up all three of them."

burly man: "."

This guy is really cautious. The Pokémon are all inside the Poké Ball, so why would he be afraid of just a few of us?

However, the more cautious Xia Chen was, the more he felt a sense of intellectual superiority.

Whether you're an elf or a human, what good is it if you can completely seal it all off?

Lord Huoxing's schemes are truly brilliant!

After tying up his men, the burly man was then tightly bound by Xia Chen with hemp rope. After doing all this, Xia Chen finally turned his attention to the two unconscious Doron Mesias.

…………

"Gardedor, you stay here and watch over them."

Without letting Gardevoir get close, Xia Chen and Gu Leton walked in that direction alone.

This explanation was reasonable enough that the group didn't have much doubt.

Meanwhile, in a place unseen by Xia Chen and undetectable by the power of waveguides, seven or eight elite members of Team Galactic, led by Huo Xing and Zhen Xing, were rapidly approaching.

Xia Chen used a wisp of his waveguide power to probe the two Doron Mesias, and sure enough, he sensed two small mechanical devices inside their bodies.

If there are no surprises, then it should be the high-powered poison gas bomb that Gardevoir mentioned.

However, the power of waveguides can only detect, not destroy, and even if it is destroyed, there is no guarantee that the leaked poison gas will not harm Dorgonmesia.

So, it seems there's no way to save him.

Xia Chen sighed helplessly in his heart, then composed himself and walked forward resolutely.

Although I can't save you, I will avenge you!

Reaching the two Doron Mesias, Xia Chen carefully picked them up and fed them the full-restoration medicine.

The two Pokémon weren't actually seriously injured; they were more exhausted and suffering from palpitations from being in a state of fear for a long time. The Dark Pulse from the crow leader, which didn't do much harm, was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After two bottles of full recovery medicine, the two Dorgon Messiahs slowly woke up.

"Messi."

The larger one woke up first. Although it was still very weak, it struggled to get up and looked around as if it was looking for something.

When it saw Xia Chen feeding another Doronmesia something, it immediately rushed over angrily.

However, in its weakened state, it could do nothing. Xia Chen only diverted a portion of his mental energy, and Dorgonmesia was bound in the distance by an invisible psychic force, unable to move.

"Don't make a sound, I'm saving her."

Xia Chen casually remarked and continued to pour the full recovery medicine into the mouth of the slightly smaller Doronmesia.

Before long, the little dragon also woke up.

Only then did Doron Messiah realize that Xia Chen had come to rescue them, so it slowly relaxed its body and let the psychic force control it.

"Messi. (Thank you.)"

Doronmesia's sister said gratefully.

Xia Chen shook his head without responding; he didn't know how to face the two elves.

Perhaps, it would have been a better choice to let them die unconscious instead of reviving them?

He suddenly felt that his act of reviving them was somewhat cruel.

"Take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up."

Xia Chen reluctantly comforted the two Dorgon Mecia, hoping to make their deaths less painful.

Feeling safe and reborn, the Doronmesia siblings thanked Xia Chen gratefully and then fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

…………

Just as Xia Chen revived the two Doron Mecia, his surrounding aura suddenly detected the approach of a large group of people.

Xia Chen remained silent.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of these people meant that the lives of the two Dorgonmesia were already on a countdown.

He had no other choice but to use telepathy to communicate with Gu Leton.

[So, Leighton, they're here. Get ready.]

[I see.

Therefore, Leighton replied in his heart.

Almost the instant they finished communicating, Xia Chen's heart suddenly began to pound violently, followed by an uncontrollable palpitation and panic.
