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

It took several days, and only today, has it recovered to about 70-80%.

Xia Chen also left the Mikoli Manor and returned to live in the new city.

Right now, he is leading the elves in arranging the newly purchased home appliances and furniture, which can be considered as setting an example for the new home that has not yet been built on Yuanling Island.

However, while the elves, who are in the prime of their curiosity, seem to be working hard, they are actually mostly just playing around and fooling around in the mud.

"Dorunchi, can you stop swinging around there? That's a chandelier, not a swing!"

"And you, Cyril, did you secretly hide Serena's pendant again?"

The two most mischievous and naughty members of the team are undoubtedly these two elves, but as everyone knows, the two most mischievous students in the class always manage to make the whole class's atmosphere go a little off.

What the homeroom teacher, Xia Chen, needs to do is prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

As Xia Chen was being reprimanded by two seemingly obedient but actually remorseful individuals, a gust of wind howled past the window, and a huge jade-green dragon head drooped down, curiously watching Xia Chen and the two men, Duolongqi and Sai Fuhao, who were being criticized.

It's Rayquaza. It arrived so quickly?

Xia Chen was overjoyed. This was much faster than he had imagined. He had thought that even after the grand celebration ended, Lie Kong Zuo might not come again.

Unexpectedly, this special guest arrived in less than ten days.

…………

Opening the window and placing the ten-meter-tall Rayquaza inside, Xia Chen greeted warmly, "Welcome, Dragon God! But how did you know I was here?"

Rayquaza, seemingly uncomfortable under the intense gazes of Sylveon and Gardevoir, curled up and replied, "You and I have established a mental bond, so naturally I can sense your location."

Xia Chen looked at Lie Kongzuo, who had a slightly embarrassed expression, and found it quite amusing. Could this guy be a socially awkward person?

To ease the Dragon God's embarrassment, Xia Chen pointed to Xianbu and the others and introduced them, "By the way, let me introduce you. These are my companions. Our relationship is like family. Do you understand?"

Xia Chen was afraid that Rayquaza was detached from worldly affairs and didn't even understand the meaning of being a trainer, so he explained it this way.

Lie Kong nodded. "I know. My bond with someone from a thousand years ago also had his spirit, but their relationship was more like that of an appendage, or even a servant."

Xia Chen did not deliberately belittle his ex, but explained, "Human development is very fast, and ideas are changing rapidly. A thousand years ago, humans still called elves 'monsters'."

Without elaborating on events from a thousand years ago, he continued to introduce his elves one by one.

"This is Sylveon, my first partner. Milotic, a water-type Pokémon that is headed toward becoming a dragon and never will return. Gardevoir, my little darling. And this last one, you've met him before, Guleton, a mysterious fellow from the Padia region."

After introducing each of his Pokémon, each with its unique skills, Xia Chen gave them a brief introduction to Rayquaza.

“Lie Kongzuo, you should know him.”

The two parties thus formally met.

Xia Chen secretly observed Rayquaza's gaze and discovered that the Pokémon it was most interested in was not Guruton, which was also a legendary Pokémon, but Milotic.

What's going on? Has Milotic, the "Dragon Succubus," unleashed her powers again?

Speaking of which, although Rayquaza is [genderless] in the game, it has its own race and should theoretically have a gender. Could this be a female dragon?

Is a domineering dragon god falling in love with me going to be staged?

It doesn't seem like a bad idea. Although the two elves are quite far apart in age, as the saying goes, "A woman three years older than a man is like holding a gold brick; a woman three thousand years older than a man is like being among the immortals."

Milotic simply clings to the Dragon God's leg and ascends to heaven—wouldn't that be wonderful?

…………

"I told you not to think about strange things!"

Xia Chen's wild thoughts earned him a stern glare from Lie Kongzuo.

He was startled. "You've been spying on my thoughts again!"

"Do you think I wanted this? This is a side effect of being bound by bonds."

After a pause, Lie Kong explained, "I am interested in him because I sensed a strange aura of dragon bloodline, that's all."

Xia Chen shrugged noncommittally. His previous thought was just a joke, and he knew that Lie Kongzuo's surprise was probably due to this.

After a moment's thought, Lie Kongzuo suddenly said, "I'd like to train with him for a while. What do you think?"

"what?"

Xia Chen was stunned for a while before he understood what Rayquaza meant. "You mean, bring Milotic?"

Milotic, standing to the side, stared in astonishment at Rayquaza, its mind seemingly frozen.

Lie Kong, seated on his dragon head, nodded slightly and asked in return, "You're unwilling?"

Xia Chen scratched his head. "Whether he's willing or not is one thing, the key issue is that Milotic can't fly either."

Rayquaza curled its lip. "What's so difficult about flying? Even Kyogre can fly; it's just a matter of controlling the airflow."

Xia Chen thought to himself, "If it's really that simple, then why can't Groudon fly?"

Lie Kong said, "Anyway, flying isn't a problem, so are you willing?"

"It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, it's up to him."

Xia Chen looked at Milos and handed the choice over to him.

Milotic has never been an indecisive dragon; it was probably already considering this when its brain went blank.

So when Xia Chen looked at him, Milotic asked Rayquaza, "If I were to go with you to cultivate, how long would it take?"

Rayquaza, however, was quite indifferent to this, saying, "It depends on you. You can go back anytime you feel it's time."

With things said to this point, there seemed to be no more room for consideration. Milos looked around at his companions with a blessing in mind, and finally gazed at Xia Chen, who had encouraging eyes, for a long while before opening his mouth, but then hesitating to speak.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead, and steal back its finishing touch."

Finally, Milotic looked at Rayquaza and said firmly, "I'm willing."

…………

Although Milotic has decided to go with Rayquaza to train for a while, it's not now, as Rayquaza hasn't done the most important thing he came here for yet.

Xia Chen suddenly had a bold idea regarding the search for the super-evolving meteorite.

Speaking of which, I haven't updated my videos on Pixiv for a long time, which is a real shame considering I was named one of Pixiv's Top 100 YouTubers last year. But isn't this perfect material?

Rayquaza makes an appearance, a super evolution preview—could there be a more interesting vlog than this?

"Vlog? What's that?"

Upon hearing Xia Chen's suggestion, Lie Kongzuo frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "It's something invented by humans to commemorate precious moments. Don't you think it's quite interesting, Dragon God?"

"Does time even need to be commemorated?"

Rayquaza found it somewhat incomprehensible, but when it thought about the short lifespans of humans and ordinary elves, it suddenly fell silent.

"As you wish."

In the end, Lie Kongzuo agreed to Xia Chen's request.

For him, experiencing things he'd never tried before in his nearly infinite lifespan was far more interesting than idly counting stars on the ozone layer.

Thus began a vlog journey that was both novel and interesting for Xia Chen and Lie Kongzuo.

"Long time no see, my dear bean pigeons."

Xia Chen smiled and waved to Rotom's phone, pointing it at his camera. He was quite attached to this part-time job that provided him with his first pot of gold as a trainer.

The same goes for his fans who have always supported him.

On the other hand, when he opened Pixiv, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, he was shocked by the number of followers. In just over half a year, the number of followers had skyrocketed from more than 10 million at the beginning of the year to more than 60 million.

She officially surpassed Leon, who has top-tier commercial value and strength, Karune, a world-renowned movie star, and Cynthia, the most popular champion among champions, becoming the second person on Pixiv, second only to Professor Oak.

This terrifying surge in prices is likely closely related to the Guleton incident at the beginning of the year, the legendary battle with Darkrai in the middle of the year, and the Hoenn trio a few days ago.

In short, although Xia Chen no longer makes a living from this industry, he is still quite happy.

In Xia Chen's current state, spiritual pursuits have far surpassed material pursuits, and becoming a beloved content creator can be considered one of his spiritual pursuits.

…………

Getting back to the main point, after greeting the audience, Xia Chen led Rotom around the house.

"As usual, let's start by showing you Sylveon and Gardevoir. I know that's what you're all most eager to see."

Xia Chen was well aware of whether he or his elves were more popular.

There's nothing in the world that everyone loves, except for Elf Coins and Sylveon Cloth.

"Buy?"

Even before appearing on screen, her soft, naturally sweet voice has already stirred up a ripple in people's hearts, making their bones melt.

Then two ribbons extended, and amidst Rotom's exclamation, Sylvanas controlled the camera to take a beautiful selfie.

Close-up shots of Sylveon don't actually have any of the "dead angle" stereotypes; in fact, they make her look even cuter.

As expected, the comments here will be filled with "awsl" (a Chinese internet slang term for extreme excitement or awe). Although such comments may seem a bit outdated in 2025, they fit the context and have a kind of Renaissance-like charm.

The rest of the filming was taken over by Sinbu. Xia Chen picked up Sinbu, who was running around like Rotom, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

He suddenly remembered the Eevee first-person perspective vlog he made two years ago at Yunze Lake, where he met his second Pokémon, Feebas.

Now things have changed. Eevee has evolved into Sylveon, Feebas has successfully evolved into Milotic, and I have met even more partners.

Thinking about it carefully, that can be considered "the place where my dream began".

While wearing Rotom, Sinb wasn't just running around aimlessly; he was interacting with the audience and his other companions from a unique perspective.

From this perspective, viewers of this vlog in the future will be able to experience, through their screens, the thrill of petting Gardevoir, playing with Zoroark, sliding down Milotic's backside, and touching the sleeping Guruton's rear end.

Under Cinco's guidance, viewers can experience things they wouldn't normally be able to do, making it a truly wonderful adventure.

However, even these were not the most exciting parts. In the end, Sinbu led Rotom to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, bathed in sunlight and with a wide view, stood a majestic and imposing figure.

"This is the new spirit I've captured."

Xia Chen introduced it jokingly.

Liekongzuo didn't interrupt Xia Chen's daydreaming; it glanced at him lazily and then lay back down to continue sunbathing.

It spends most of its life above the ozone layer, so having something supporting it from below feels pretty good.
