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

Healing fluctuations is not a panacea, and the body has its limits. The body's protective mechanisms have already issued a warning, and Circle Bear has fallen into a complete coma.

"Is there no way to cure the fluctuations?"

Xia Chen asked Gardevoir, who released its psychic power to probe Ursaring's aura, then shook its head helplessly.

So the question is, should we concede the goal?

Without a doubt, if the ball is missed, it will definitely go in; if it goes in, the bear will be unable to escape. There are no problems with the procedure.

It's a Shiny Gym Leader Pokémon closely associated with Legendary Pokémon. It would be an injustice not to throw this ball!

But Xia Chen hesitated to do something that any trainer would do without hesitation.

It has nothing to do with the loyal elves who haven't dispersed yet; if they wanted to, they wouldn't be an obstacle.

The main reason was that Xia Chen remembered the unknown past of Quan Quan Xiong, the experience of being tamed and then abandoned.

Physical injuries are easy to treat, but emotional wounds are difficult to heal.

Xia Chen didn't want to capture a Pokémon with such a special past under these circumstances.

Anyway, it's on its own island, it can't run away, we'll deal with it later.

Having made his decision, Xia Chen took out some treatment medicine and gave it to the kind-hearted Sai Fuhao, so that it could work with Gardevoir to slowly heal the Ursaring.

The onlookers still hadn't dispersed, but Xia Chen ignored them. With Sylveon and Milotic around, even if those Pokémon had any ideas, they could be easily suppressed.

Mounting his beloved Guleton, Xia Chen decided to investigate the unusual features of the lake island alone.

"Why haven't you noticed anything unusual after two days on the island?"

While Xia Chen was releasing waveguide power to probe, he was also chatting with Gu Leton.

It's not that I'm questioning it, it's just that I find it a bit strange.

Therefore, Leighton replied matter-of-factly, "Why would I notice something unusual? Of course, I can only notice it if there are energy fluctuations."

Xia Chen responded with an "Oh," and then said, "I overestimated you."

Leighton was furious: "Believe it or not, I'll throw you off right now!"

Xia Chen chuckled and quickly stroked the fur of the large lizard beneath him.

"Just kidding, just kidding. You're my only legendary Pokémon, so it's normal that you don't understand."

Therefore, Leighton gave a soft hum and said nothing, but his steps unconsciously became much lighter.

Having calmed Gu Leton down, Xia Chen asked, "What do you think is the legendary earth-based power that influences the Circle Bear? Is it something like the one that revived Doronmesia?"

Therefore, Leighton shook his head: "It should be more than that, because the effect on the Circle Bear doesn't seem to be that deep, but it is so significant. If I had to make a comparison, I think it's similar to the core of your Deoxys."

Xia Chen gasped. "Does that mean there might be a Groudon living on the bottom of my island?"

Therefore, Leton replied, "Be bold, what if this island itself is the transformed form of the sleeping Groudon?"

Xia Chen: "."

"Okay, just kidding, the possibility is almost zero."

After the joke, Leighton explained, "If that were the case, I would definitely be able to sense it."

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was genuinely frightened by Gu Leton.

After speculating and discussing the island's secrets, the man and the dragon continued on their way.

…………

The island isn't very big, so Leighton could fly around it several times in a minute at full speed.

But if you're really looking for something, it's not something you can find in a short time.

After searching the central area of ​​the island for nearly an hour, Xia Chen found nothing.

After calculating the time, Xia Chen figured that Quan Quan Xiong would be waking up soon, so he decided to go back and talk to it first.

When they returned to the flower field, the green bear had indeed woken up and was obediently accepting the medicine that Sai Fuhao was feeding it.

This scene inexplicably reminded Xia Chen of the famous scene of Da Lang drinking medicine.

Shaking his head to banish the strange thoughts from his mind, Xia Chen walked up to the teddy bear.

Perhaps Xia Chen's departure cooled the tense atmosphere, as Quan Quan Xiong was no longer as stubborn as before and his mood had calmed down considerably.

Its gaze towards Xia Chen was quite complex. "Kuma? (Why didn't you subdue me?)"

When Ursaring woke up and didn't realize it was inside a Poké Ball, its feelings were quite complicated.

There was a mix of joy at not being won over, and resentment at not being noticed by Xia Chen.

It's the kind of feeling where you'd be unhappy if you were subdued, but you'd also be a little unhappy if you weren't.

Little Fairy Bear belongs to...

Xia Chen couldn't figure out what the little fairy bear was thinking, so he shrugged and replied, "No, I usually ask for the opinions of elves before I capture them. So, do you agree to let me capture them?"

While asking questions directly and frankly might have been a good way to win favor, Quan Quan Xiong still chose to refuse without hesitation.

"Kuma! (No!)"

Circle Bear's almost instinctive, thoughtless answer made Xia Chen thoughtful; it seemed Circle Bear had suffered quite a bit of injury before.

If you don't want it, then you don't want it.

Xia Chen pursed his lips; he didn't insist.

The Burning Bug is still inside the Volcarona's belly; he has no shortage of Pokémon to raise.

So he changed the subject.

…………

"So, from now on, may I appear on this island?"

Although it was in the form of a question, Xia Chen's tone was very certain.

Even the circle bear was beaten to the point of complete submission; this statement was merely a formality.

However, to Xia Chen's surprise, the Circular Bear replied, "Kuma—(Okay, but you can only move around in this area.)"

Wow, it really is a little fairy bear! How unreasonable!

How dare the defeated side be so arrogant?

Xia Chen was so angry he laughed. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Don't you understand the situation? It should be me, the victor, who is planning your activity area."

The Circly Bear remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Kuma—(Okay, but I want to choose my own territory; there are some fruits I don't like to eat.)"

Xia Chen's heart skipped a beat; so that's what this guy meant.

Presumably, the territory it chooses is the place that holds the secret of the lake island legend.

The strategy of retreating to advance is quite good.

But you, a bear, are too green to play mind games with a cunning human like me, aren't you?

Thinking this to himself, Xia Chen nodded calmly and agreed to Quan Quan Xiong's request.

Cast a long line and catch a big fish.

Circle Bear pondered for a moment before pointing to a small hill to the west and saying, "Kuma—(I want to live west of that hill; the rest is yours.)"

Xia Chen nodded knowingly, understanding that the secret lay on the other side of the mountain.

The island's leader was already convinced, and the other elves, who didn't have much of a problem with humans to begin with, went along with it and agreed to let the human settle in.

Xia Chen understood the principle of giving a stick and then a treat, and after showing off his muscles, he immediately made many promises to the elves.

"In the future, I will build a real [Pokémon Center] on the island to serve all wild Pokémon, so that everyone can get treatment when they are sick and eat when they are hungry!"

"As the island's owner, I will make this island the safest island in the world, never to be disturbed by elven thieves. Everyone can live carefree in any area of ​​the island!"

"If anyone wants to follow a trainer to explore a bigger world, I will introduce you to the outstanding trainers who come to challenge the gyms, and you will get the best improvement!"

"."

"In short, I want to make Circle Island the greatest island in the world!"

The wild elves had never been subjected to such sweet talk before. Xia Chen painted a big, round, and fragrant pie in their faces, and they were already dizzy with envy.

They all looked at Xia Chen with shining eyes, as if they could see the bright future he described.

The circle bear, who had been to the human world, watched coldly and gave a disdainful sneer.

Clearly, it didn't take Xia Chen's words seriously.

However, Xia Chen didn't need it to take it seriously. When most of the Pokémon on the island accepted his "recruitment," no matter how powerful Ursaring was, what could it, as a single Pokémon, change?

Moreover, a gym-level Pokémon is far from being considered powerful in front of Xia Chen.

…………

Despite his empty promises, Xia Chen did provide these wild elves with some tangible benefits.

Not to mention energy blocks, energy gems of various attributes, and other resources and items like evolution stones are being distributed like they're free.

These things, which were not particularly valuable to Xia Chen, were considered rare treasures by the wild elves.

The small gifts were very effective in winning over the elves; after receiving the gifts, they became even more affectionate towards Xia Chen.

If there were any rating system like "favorability," Xia Chen estimated that it had increased from a single digit representing "warning" to around fifty or sixty points representing "friendly."

This is sufficient for Xia Chen's initial development and construction.

The biggest troublemaker has been dealt with, and now we can send professionals to the island for on-site surveys and design.

As for the secret that might be related to not being able to fly, Xia Chen was not in a hurry to explore it.

Anyway, that thing wouldn't benefit Xia Chen's existing elves, and his interest was just out of curiosity.

There's no need to force it; it would be bad if we ended up falling out with the local bully, Quan Quan Xiong, over this.

Initial surveys, establishing good relations with the indigenous people, and building trust.

The main tasks of this trip to the island were successfully completed. After spending another night on the island, Xia Chen returned to Zhijiang.

After being busy for several days, Xia Chen was finally able to take a real break.

However, while Xia Chen can rest, Yan Shu, who has been idle for two years, cannot. She will take over all the follow-up work on Quan Quan Island, while Xia Chen, the wicked client, is only responsible for making demands.
