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

They are all smart people; they know what this means.

"You mean, after these Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution, they can all break through their original power levels, just like Rayquaza?"

It was rare for Cattleya to say such a long sentence.

Teacher Xia Chen patiently answered her questions, saying, "Yes, super evolution is such a thing."

"So, how can one undergo super evolution?"

Unsurprisingly, some people have started to pay attention to this issue.

No matter how good something is, it's useless if it's not yours; it will only make you envious.

Xia Chen kept everyone in suspense for a moment, "Wait a minute, Rayquaza knows where the key to completing Mega Evolution is. Let it take me to find it, and we'll get it done quickly, right?"

As he spoke, Xia Chen suddenly became a little insecure.

Because he recalled that before they parted, Rayquaza said, "I'll come find you as soon as I've recovered."

But it previously said that Groudon would need several years to recover, so Rayquaza's "immediate" recovery time might also be several years, right?

It's not impossible, because for Rayquaza, whose lifespan is almost infinite, the timescale would also be infinitely extended.

In its mind, a few years is equivalent to a few days, which is perfectly normal. It's unlikely it will really take several years.

When everyone saw Xia Chen, who had just been in high spirits, suddenly become ashen-faced and silent, they were startled. They thought he was unwell and quickly asked him how he was doing.

Xia Chen quickly said, "I'm fine, I was just a little lost in thought about my promise to Lie Kong."

After all that fuss, they finally left the room, leaving Xia Chen to rest under the care of the elves.

…………

Xia Chen put the search for the Mega Evolution Stone aside for the time being, because it depended on how long Rayquaza's "horse" would last, and there was no point in rushing it.

Over the next few days, he recuperated at his estate in Mikkel, while reconstruction efforts continued steadily outside.

Although Ersha was only active for a few hours after waking up, the impact he caused was considerable.

Many places were flooded, but many other places also saw the emergence of new land.

Ruri City, which is closest to the site of the incident, is naturally the focus of the reconstruction efforts.

Because the old city is located in a high-altitude volcanic crater, it is less affected; the biggest project is simply draining the water left by the heavy rain.

With the concerted efforts of the residents and elves of Crystal City, Crystal City was restored to its original state in just a few days.

The new urban area below suffered more severe damage due to its lower altitude, and the reconstruction will take longer.

Meanwhile, the unusually high temperatures in the central and western regions of Hoenn gradually subsided as Groudon disappeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

Therefore, it was only natural that the grand celebration plan, which had been suspended due to extreme weather, was revived.

After discussing with Xia Chen, Ma Xiu, Adam, and others, they decided to hold the stalled grand ceremony on September 25th, half a month after the new district was expected to be rebuilt.

Because there were no casualties in this incident, there was no controversy in public opinion.

Upon hearing this news, most people expressed their agreement and support.

People believed that a grand, large-scale event could wash away the unpleasantness brought by the disaster, and the most excited of all were undoubtedly the contestants stranded in Liuli City.

This means that their efforts and hard work this year have not been in vain, and they, and their Pokémon, can once again shine on the highest stage of the Coordinator!

For this reason, Xia Chen did not leave the Hoenn region, but stayed in Mikuri, waiting for the grand festival to begin and Rayquaza to return.

…………

As for the others who came to Liuli City because of this incident...

Cynthia and Gadriya, being champions after all, returned to their duties two days ago after seeing that Xia Chen had recovered.

After failing to summon the Dragon God at Sky Pillar with her sister, the two sisters left Sootopolis City together and began traveling and training like any other trainer.

After the disaster, the father and son, Qianlilu and Bi, also resolved their estrangement through heart-to-heart talks.

Just like in the manga, Senri agreed to Ruby's dream of pursuing the Contests, but he hoped that Ruby would do his best and become the number one Coordinator.

Afterwards, Senri returned to Petalburg City to continue guarding the gym, while Ruby and her companion Safia were entrusted to Wallace's care by their elderly father.

Incidentally, Mikoli found Lu Bi more pleasing to the eye, so he took him on as his apprentice.

Adam thus became Ruby's great-great-grandfather, making him a generation above Qianli, which infuriated Qianli.

Serena wanted to follow suit and become Xia Chen's apprentice, but he declined, citing that he was too busy.

This is not an excuse, but the reality. He has too many things to do, including being a trainer, participating in Contests, and opening a gym.

Although Serena expressed her understanding, she couldn't help but look somewhat downcast.

It wasn't just because she failed to become an apprentice; there were also some hidden thoughts that only the girl herself knew.

Team Magma and Team Marine were completely wiped out after this incident.

All of Team Aqua's elites perished in the underwater cave, while Team Magma was wiped out in the dead of night before Groudon awoke.

Meanwhile, the core members of Team Lava, led by Crimson Pine, were imprisoned for crimes such as "illegally hunting Pokémon" and "endangering public safety."

Because there is no death penalty in the Pokémon world, what awaits them is a minimum of life imprisonment.

This made Xia Chen, who supported the existence of the death penalty, feel extremely regretful.

If terrorists of this caliber don't get shot, then this world is indeed somewhat utopian.

According to the official report, the Hokage and Himura both perished in the underwater cave, while Koga died in battle in front of the Awakening Temple, meaning there is no possibility of the Magma Team being resurrected.

Meanwhile, at Mikkel's manor, a beautiful woman named Christa, who looks exactly like Fire Goose, becomes entangled with Xia Chen.

5k)

"What do you mean I have to take responsibility for? What am I responsible for?"

Xia Chen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a headache, already regretting that he had rescued her.

Chrissy said pitifully, "I've wasted nearly ten years in that evil organization, Team Lava, and I'm completely out of touch with society. What if I get scammed when I first enter the workforce? I can only ask for your help."

You? You were scammed?

Xia Chen looked at the last [Fire Goose] of the Lava Team with a strange expression, his mind filled with complaints.

You're lucky if you don't betray others; who would lie to you?

Seeing that Xia Chen wasn't buying it, Christine's expression became even more tearful. "I've wandered half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a good man. If you won't abandon me, I'm willing..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

According to a certain story, those who hear these words are destined to have a bad end, so Xia Chen quickly called for a stop.

After thinking for a while, he said helplessly, "Well, I bought an island a while ago, and I plan to build my new home and gym on it. If you don't mind..."

Before she could finish speaking, Christina immediately replied, "I don't mind."

Xia Chen was speechless. "I haven't finished yet. Would you be willing to be a maid?"

"Really? That's even better!"

Chrissy's expression of surprise, as if she were absolutely certain, left Xia Chen completely bewildered.

He rolled his eyes. "It's fake. We don't have maids where we're from, we only have aunties. Do you want to be an auntie?"

Chrissy blushed shyly, "So you like this kind of thing."

Xia Chen: "."

After the joke, Xia Chen didn't forget the important matter. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "What I mean is, why don't you become my housekeeper? That way, I'll have someone to act as the manager when I go out. You won't be disappointed with the pay."

This is the important matter. Although I have realized my dream of becoming a dojo master, I can't just stay in the dojo forever and never go out for a stroll.

The acting manager will have to find someone sooner or later, and Chrissy is a good candidate.

Their strength is definitely at least at the dojo level, meeting the standard.

His background is also... well, he's not exactly innocent, but at least he knows himself well and is trustworthy.

Christina readily agreed to the promotion from maid to butler.

Therefore, Christa, the new steward of Yuanling Dojo, went to Donghuang to take up her post with Xia Chen's letter of appointment.

Although the dojo is not yet completed, there is still a lot of work to be done before it is completed.

Having finally recruited a hardworking and dedicated new employee, Xia Chen naturally wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

The person he arranged to meet with Christina was none other than his assistant, Yan Shu.

With Chrissy settled in, Xia Chen's feud with the Ocean and Lava teams was finally over.

Some died, some went to prison, and some surrendered—wasn't that thorough enough?

He had also planned his focus perfectly for the next period of time: assisting with the Grand Festival, researching Mega Evolution, and finally leaving the Hoenn region to return and build gyms.

Several days have passed by unnoticed.

…………

September 14th, the beginning of autumn, the sky is high and the air is crisp.

Liuli City is truly a wonderful place with a pleasant climate and distinct four seasons.

The climate is set according to the most comfortable weather of each season, which explains why Groudon and Kyogre are willing to rest here.

At this moment, a cool sea breeze was blowing gently, and Xia Chen even had more energy to work.

After the two idiots woke up, the weather remained sunny, as if trying to make up for the sun that hadn't come out for several months.

Then, as the tide receded, the mansion where Xia Chen had previously lived, built on the beach, finally emerged from the water like a lotus bud just beginning to show its face.

The house was borrowed from President Zvoich. Although the damage had little to do with him, Xia Chen felt embarrassed to return it in this state, so he decided to renovate it and stay there for a while.

But when it came to actually dealing with it, they discovered that repairing a house that had been submerged in water for a week was no easy task.

Besides the floor tiles, the flooring, wallpaper, furniture, and everything else were almost completely soaked and ruined—no matter how luxurious or high-quality the renovation, it couldn't withstand being soaked like that.

Xia Chen had no choice but to hire a professional, high-powered renovation team to help with drying, demolition, and renovation. The whole process was no easier than tearing down and rebuilding.
