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

What does 30 square kilometers mean?

Located in the southern part of East Asia, Macau is a famous port city with an area of ​​approximately 32 square kilometers.

In addition, several unnamed islands around Quan Quan Island were sold to Xia Chen as a bonus, making the usable land area even larger.

Upon arrival, Xia Chen didn't rush to the island. Instead, he flew around the island and had Rotom record a rough map of it for future construction planning.

Only after Rotom finished collecting the information did he allow Guleton to take him to the ground.

Although the island is called Circle Island, as a place with a complete ecosystem that has been largely untouched by humans, there are certainly more than just a few dozen circle bears inhabiting the island.

As soon as Xia Chen landed, he encountered a Pokémon that was very rare in the wild, but very famous: Da Nai Guan.

(After testing, it was found that the original name would be censored for reasons we all understand, so I have reluctantly changed it. I hope you will understand.)

To be precise, this Pokémon, which is not particularly powerful, is not a rare Pokémon in the traditional sense.

In the vast grasslands of Huangbei and Huangxi, the most common artificially bred Pokémon are the large groups of Nai-Gar.

With so many farmed and bred animals, wild giant naan mushrooms are becoming increasingly rare.

This peculiar phenomenon occurs because the fresh milk produced by the large can is not only fragrant and delicious, but also rich in nutrients.

The famous MooMoo Fresh Milk comes from the highest quality pasture, or at least from the most experienced dairy farms.

The large jar in front of us, judging from its aura, has reached the elite level!

For a functional Pokémon like Da Nai Guan, this is definitely a very impressive level of strength.

Aside from Akane's Gym-level Pokémon, who is a full-time milk-producing and part-time gym leader in Goldenrod City, this Pokémon can be considered the king of milk.

Xia Chen was pleasantly surprised by the first discovery of this treasure island.

With this top-quality milk source, the quality of any dairy-related desserts we make in the future will be significantly improved.

Hmm. Speaking of desserts, raising an Alcremie from the Galar region seems like a pretty good idea.

Hold on, hold on, don't think too far ahead. Let's build a good relationship with this big jar first.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xia Chen looked kindly at Da Nai Guan, who had a somewhat wary expression.

…………

"Hello, Da Nai Guan, I'm your future neighbor. This is a small gift for you."

Xia Chen kindly handed over a box of energy cubes.

Although this is something that is commonplace in the human world, it is a rare item for wild elves.

There's nothing more suitable as a gift when you first meet someone.

It's unclear whether Da Nai Guan dislikes the gift or the person who gave it to it. It stopped its leisurely grazing, took a few steps back, and mooed as it went.

Xia Chen was able to understand the meaning behind Da Nai Guan's words through waveguide, which was clearly...

"Foreign invasion! Foreign invasion!"

Xia Chen: "."

I just want to drink some of your milk, is that really necessary?

Da Nai Guan's voice was loud and melodious, echoing like a horn throughout the lakeside area.

Birds startled and flew away, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of the original inhabitants of Circle Island are gathering in the sky and on the ground, preparing to unite as one to resist the foreign enemy.

If an ordinary trainer saw this scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits and would immediately ride away on their Pokémon.

But Xia Chen stood there leisurely, not taking a single step back, and instead started chatting with Da Nai Guan.

"Looks like we have quite a few residents here?"

Da Nai Guan: "."

Who's talking about our family? You're really something else!

Receiving no response, Xia Chen didn't mind and cheerfully continued, "Could you introduce them to me? After all, we'll be neighbors soon, and we'll see each other all the time."

"Moo—(Who's your neighbor? Humans aren't welcome here!)"

The soft muttering was suddenly interrupted by Da Nai Guan. Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why? Do you have some kind of problem with humans?"

Da Nai Guan immediately replied, "Moo! (Of course! Not a single human is worthy of it.)"

The conversation abruptly stopped, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, Da Nai Guan finally reacted, stammering, "Moo? (You can actually understand Elvish?)"

Xia Chen nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course, is there a problem?"

Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

The giant jar looked even more nervous; it was the first time it had ever seen a human who could understand Elvish.

Such people must be even more cunning, right?

Da Nai decided to ignore this human until reinforcements arrived.

…………

Before long, the first wave of wild Pokémon from the east coast of Circle Island arrived.

There aren't too many, about thirty or so.

Starhawk, Pidgeot, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Bellossom, Miss Skirt

Most of them are common Pokémon found in the forests of the Eastern Huang region.

Of course, there's also the spirit from which the island's name comes from, the Circle Bear.

According to official sources, the population of circle bears on this island consists of more than thirty individuals.

However, even though they are a group, they don't usually live in one place. They all have short tempers and might start fighting one day over something like "What are you looking at?" or "What's it to you?"

These two should be the Circle Bear couple whose territory is on the east coast of Circle Island.

Standing in front of the other Pokémon, they looked like the undisputed leaders, suggesting that their strength must be among the top of all the Pokémon.

The simplest way to judge the strength of a wild Pokémon is by its size.

These two Ursarings are both over two meters tall, far exceeding the official Ursaring population average of 1.8 meters according to the Pokémon Research Association. They are definitely not amateur or veteran-level trash.

Xia Chen, who possesses the power of waveguides, can directly judge by detecting the energy intensity. The accurate conclusion is that it is an elite mid-level—roughly the level that Xianbu and the others were at more than half a year ago.

From Xia Chen's current perspective, it's not that high, but in the wild, it would definitely be at the level of a local overlord.

Xia Chen encountered this situation as soon as he landed, so he naturally didn't have the chance to release any other Pokémon. He only had Guleton by his side.

And since it usually hides its presence, if it didn't, probably no Pokémon in the wild would dare to stay within a kilometer of it.

Therefore, Xia Chen perfectly fits all the conditions for playing dumb to deceive others—he appears weak but is actually powerful, and he has two fierce villains blocking his way.

Unfortunately, these two villains only look fierce and menacing; their actual appearances are vastly different from their outward appearances.

"Kuma—(Can you leave here?)"

This is probably what it means to say the most cowardly thing with the most intimidating expression.

Due to its physical structure, the Circular Bear has a rather loud voice, but the meaning behind its words is perhaps a little too polite.

Is there a gentle heart hidden beneath the fierce exterior of the circle bear?

Xia Chen felt that through the power of aura, he had unlocked another secret of the spirit world that was unknown to others.

Circle Bear, you're so gentle!

…………

However, only two seconds after the misunderstanding was cleared up, another loud and furious roar, accompanied by not-so-pleasant spittle, was sprayed at Xia Chen.

"Kuma! (Human, get out! You're not welcome here!)"

As Xia Chen erected a waveguide barrier to block the spittle that rained down like a shower of flowers, he thought to himself, "This is more in line with my stereotypical image of the Circle Bear!"

Although the two circly bears with very different personalities express themselves in different ways, they express the same thing—they reject Xia Chen.

This is a very common attitude among wild elves: they dislike humans.

Not all elves are willing to be tamed by humans and live a life of comfort and ease, but at the cost of most of their freedom.

Given the rampant elven thieves, it's understandable that many elves harbor ill will towards humans.

However, as normal as it may be, Xia Chen had no intention of indulging them.

He looked at the elves who had surrounded him and Guleton, and said to himself, "I've come to Circle Island for only three things: battle, battle, and damn battle!"

The elves were in an uproar. Why did this human seem to have a more volatile temper than they did?

This was exactly what the hot-tempered circly bear wanted. It took a big step forward, ready to teach this arrogant human a lesson, but Xia Chen raised his hand to stop it.

"Listen to me!"

Circle Bear was startled and subconsciously stopped in its tracks.

Xia Chen continued, "In the legal sense of humans, this Circle Island is already my private island. However, I know you certainly won't acknowledge this, so I'm giving you a chance. I will stay on this island for three days. During this time, you can challenge me in any form, whether it's a one-on-one duel or a group fight. If after three days, none of you, and no Pokémon, can defeat me, then I will be the boss of this island!"

mad!

So crazy!

Xia Chen's words were so arrogant that the elves were momentarily stunned, and the only sounds in the air were the natural sounds of wind and water.

…………

"Roar--"

A loud roar broke the silence, the high volume making Xia Chen's eardrums ache.

As expected, the one who stood out was the larger, more temperamental Circle Bear.

It strode forward with an imposing gait, rubbing its fists together and saying, "Kuma! (In less than three days, today, I'll make you get out of our home! Who do you want to fight? This stinky lizard?)"

Ugh, stinky lizard

Xia Chen turned to look at Gu Leton, whom the Circle Bear called the Stinky Lizard. Gu Leton shook its head nonchalantly, indicating that it did not want to take action.

This circled bear isn't qualified to get it to act.

Xia Chen shook his head, casually took a Poké Ball from his belt and threw it.
