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

As for his own safety, Xia Chen still had a trump card: among the gifts Vladali gave him before the trip was an escape kit, enough for him to show off and then run away, but that was all.

A flash of white light appeared, and Milotic materialized. Xia Chen took a deep breath and shouted, "Milotic, use Hydro Pump!"

"Ibrahimovic, Shadow Ball!"

Let's just say that Milotic and Eevee used their moves to send Zorua off.

The chandelier remained unmoved, not even glancing in Xia Chen's direction.

So what if there's an elemental advantage/disadvantage?

When the gap in strength is large enough, everything unrelated to strength is ultimately external.

It glanced at Xia Chen and sneered inwardly, "You really like this little fox, don't you? I'll kill her and Gengar in front of you first, and then slowly drain your life force!"

…………

"Fuwoo!"

"Buyi!"

A jet of azure water gushed forth, the water cannon, processed under high pressure within Milotic's body, relentlessly pounding against the body of the Chandelier Spirit.

On the other side, Ibrahimovic's Shadow Ball also hit Chandelure, who made no attempt to dodge.

The latter remained unmoved, spewing flames that scorched Soroya, mocking Xia Chen's incompetence with his actions.

"Yo-"

The infernal flames caused Soraya to let out a piercing scream; every cell in her body was sending signals of pain to her brain.

She simply stared intently at the Chandelier Spirit, the intense resentment emanating from her eyes enough to kill the Chandelier Spirit a thousand times over if it could cause harm.

Unfortunately not.

Soraya could only slowly die amidst endless pain and torment.

Her consciousness gradually faded, but the resentment she harbored in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.

She resented the poachers who stole her from her tribe for profit...

She resented the people and spirits who had bullied her during her wanderings...

She resented the chandelier spirit before her, who had tormented her to death...

She resented this unjust and cruel world even more!

In the ocean of condensed resentment, only two places remained clear and transparent: the unconscious Gengar behind him and Xia Chen fighting for him in the distance.

With the last ounce of his consciousness, Soroya turned toward where Xia Chen was.

If there is an afterlife, let me be your spirit again...

…………

"Squeak-"

The tightly closed hotel doors were blasted open with a tremendous force, the loud noise interrupting Chandelure, who was about to finish off Gengar.

It turned its head and looked, only to find that what had blasted open the door with tremendous force was a huge jaw covered with fine teeth.

Under the moonlight, the chin turned behind him, revealing a small, seemingly obedient and docile doll with cold eyes to all the elves and Xia Chen.

It's Mouth Baby!

The crystal chandelier was astonished, while Xia Chen was delighted.

The former was astonished because he couldn't understand why a big-mouthed baby would appear here at this time.

The latter was overjoyed because he had finally received his reinforcements.

Sure enough, a Togekiss flew through the air behind Mawkwa, and sitting on it was Miss Marshall, dressed in her pajamas.

She breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that Xia Chen was safe and sound. Her face was full of anxiety.

She jumped off the Pokémon, pulled Xia Chen into her arms, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you to take the detour. Thank goodness you're alright..."

Xia Chen had no time to appreciate the softness in his arms or the fragrance of her hair. He released her and said urgently, "Let's not talk about that now. Can you help me distract that Chandelure? I need to save Zoroar and Gengar."

Ma Xiu nodded, looking at the still dazed Chandelure, and said coldly, "Togekiss, Mawile!"

"Smack!"

"Tch!"

The two elves behind Ma Xiu immediately rushed out and charged towards the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

Both being Gym Leader level Pokémon, their strengths differ, and the wild Chandelure is clearly inferior to the two main Pokémon that Mashu has carefully trained in every aspect.

What's more, it's a two-on-one fight for justice.

Soon, Chandelure was forced to retreat and leave the location where Zoroar and Gengar were.

Seeing the somewhat agitated group of ghostly sprites around her, Ma Xiu threw out two more Poké Balls.

"Mr. Mime, Clefairy, control them!"

The remaining Pokémon were already at odds with each other due to their different factions, and with the addition of two Gym Leader level Pokémon controlling them, a large-scale conflict did not break out for the time being.

…………

Xia Chen knelt on the ground, looking at the charred body before him, so badly burned that it was almost unrecognizable, and felt utterly desperate.

This was the first time he had witnessed the true demise of a life in the elven world, and in such a cruel way.

His fists, hanging limply to the ground, were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. A year after arriving in this world, Xia Chen, who had stepped out of the ivory tower, hated his own inadequacy for the first time.

If I had Miss Maxiu's strength, would I be unable to protect even the elf I love?

He suddenly realized how ridiculous his initial goal was. In the face of absolute power, life is truly as fragile as a piece of paper.

It's ridiculous that he was so pleased with himself for fooling Vladari and infiltrating Team Flare. If they really wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't have had a chance to fight back at all.

Not just Team Flare, but also Team Rocket, Team Ocean, Team Magma, Team Galaxy, Team Plasma...

It's even possible that... Team Rainbow Rocket will appear!

Having lived in the world of light for so long, I've almost forgotten the dark side of this world.

When they want to control or destroy the world, just like in a game, can they really escape?

Xia Chen felt she could no longer deceive herself.

I want to become stronger!

Become stronger than anyone else in the world!

Suddenly, Xia Chen felt a familiar and warm furry hand in his cold palm, and he tightly grasped the first elf he had encountered since coming into this world.

He said softly but firmly, "Eevee, we must become stronger, so strong that no one can harm the people and Pokémon we want to protect!"

"Buyi!"

……

Ma Xiu looked at Xia Chen kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression, feeling both gratified and sad.

Another boy has grown into a man in this world...

…………

Xia Chen gently stroked Soroya's charred body.

He wanted to imprint this scene, this tactile sensation, firmly in his memory to inspire himself.

But as soon as it was touched, something strange happened.

From Zoroya's charred body, strings of eerily pink gas seemed to be emerging.

Xia Chen was startled and instinctively wanted to let go, because he had never seen this situation before, neither in that world nor in this world.

But he had a gut feeling that he shouldn't let go and should let the pink smoke continue to condense.

He couldn't say what this intuition might bring, perhaps it was a turning point for Zoroah's resurrection?

This idea is ridiculous, because apart from the legendary Ho-Oh, almost no Pokémon in this world has the means to revive.

However, what happened before his eyes shocked Xia Chen, whose mood had already been fluctuating wildly that day, to an even greater degree.

Pink energy gas rose slowly from Zorua's charred body, gathering and condensing as if it were alive.

Gradually, as the amount of gas increases, the outlines they condense into become more and more distinct.

That's... what Zoroa looks like!

Xia Chen was both surprised and delighted.

Although he didn't know what the gas was or how it condensed into Zoroah, none of that mattered as long as Zoroah could truly be resurrected... or reincarnated!

As time passed, the physical features of Zoroa, formed from condensed gas, became increasingly clear.

A greyish-white body, red and white fur on the neck and tail, and orange pupils...

A new Zoroar has appeared, similar in size and shape to the original Zoroar, but with vastly different physical characteristics!

Chapter 135 Zoroya: Hang Up! (4k two-in-one)

As his fading consciousness gradually coalesced, Zoroya found himself awakened in a warm embrace.

Having just regained consciousness, her mind was still somewhat hazy as she pondered the three philosophical questions that every intelligent life must grapple with...

who am I?

where am i from?

Where should I go?

As consciousness gradually returned, Zoroya's memories slowly resurfaced.

The joy of being born into this world and living with my people...

The constant fear and unease that followed being stolen by a hunter...

The hardships of wandering between the wilderness and towns...

The humiliation of being oppressed by those elves in the abandoned hotel...
