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

Although it's just a tiny change, every little bit of progress brings its own joy, and Ibrahimovic is very happy about this improvement.

She had thought that her race limited her, and that her power was already capped, but now there was a turning point.

Is power important to Senbu?

Based on the results of the discussion between Xia Chen and myself in my previous life, it can't be said to be crucial, but it is still very useful.

First and foremost, the most obvious benefit is that the skills you master, such as [Lightning Flash], [Digging], and [Playing Around], will deal more damage and offer more possibilities in battle.

Don't ask why they didn't use techniques like Magic Flash, Moon Power, or Loud Voice.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and there are countless opportunities for techniques like lightning strikes and digging to be surprisingly effective.

Secondly, increased strength allows one's silk to play a greater role.

Having honed his skills for nearly a decade in his previous life, Xianbu's application of silk was now second nature to him.

To control an opponent by binding them tightly, to directly apply energy and whip them with attacks, and even to force two opponents to stick together with silk ribbons, as in yesterday's battle...

It is no exaggeration to say that silk is as important to Xianbu as having an extra pair of hands that can stretch and shorten at will, and are also extremely flexible.

The increased strength undoubtedly greatly enhances what "these hands" can do.

One last thing...

Whatever the skill, it's always a good thing to improve it.

Even setting aside combat, it would be fun to use this power to lift Xia Chen high in the air in everyday life.

However... Sinbu felt that this candy would be more effective for Zoroa than for himself.

If you still have Ralts, give the rest to Zoroah...

As the eldest sister in the team, Xianbu felt it was her duty to mediate the relationships among her partners.

As for that rotten fish?

Let him hide in the back and play with the water cannon.

…………

On April 1st, spring was in full bloom, the sun shone brightly, and all things came back to life.

It is advisable to travel far.

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Miss Ma Xiu, Xia Chen rented a eagle and flew to Bai Ke City.

When he passed by the abandoned hotel, he took Zorua, who had been well-nurtured during this time and was much more energetic than when he left, to visit Gengar and the others.

After playing games with the group of lonely old ghosts for a while and pretending to be scared by them, Xia Chen set off again.

He didn't stop for the rest of the journey, and two days later, Pidgeot carried Xia Chen to Baike City.

From here, he will set off again to complete his unfinished journey.

Chapter 150 The Unique Healing Method of the Caring Big Sister Fairy Cloth (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Fenda!)

It is said that the name of Lianli Town comes from a famous poem from Donghuang.

In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches.

Xia Chen didn't know why the city name in the Carlos region originated from an ancient poem from the Eastern Huang, but this small town without a dojo was indeed as beautiful as a poem.

The town is crisscrossed by waterways and shows no signs of industrialization. Because a large part of the city is composed of various intersecting rivers, the agricultural area is also small.

It can be said that this is a town whose development is entirely supported by tourism.

The attraction that draws tourists from the Carlos region and even the world is a cascading waterfall next to the hotel where Xia Chen is staying. It seems to fall straight down from the sky, as majestic and solemn as a flying carpet falling from the air.

When Xia Chen first arrived at the hotel, he already had some regrets.

The scenery is beautiful... but how can anyone sleep when the thunderous noise is so loud?

However, there's a reason why this hotel hasn't gone out of business and dares to set such high prices. For one thing, the soundproofing of the walls and windows is really good.

Stepping into the room and closing the windows, it felt as if the whole world had been shut out.

Upon arriving here, the happiest person is undoubtedly Milotic, born in Yunze Lake and raised in an aquarium.

If the sky is Groudon's romance, then the romance of Water-type Pokémon, besides the vast ocean, is undoubtedly this magnificent waterfall.

…………

The morning sun was shining brightly. Xia Chen bought a fishing rod and sat by the pond, casually fishing. Xian Bu squatted to the side, dipping his silk into the water, seemingly fishing as well.

Zoroia and Ralts, those two homebody girls, didn't come down from their rooms; I wonder what they were busy with.

In the pool, Minas swims freely, looking up at the waterfall that is tens of meters high, eager to try it out.

Waterfall climbing is the romance of every water sprite.

However, the waterfall's volume was too large and its impact too strong. After observing the rapid current for a while, Minas decided not to try it and instead swam back into the pool to continue playing.

"Young man, you won't even be able to catch a Magikarp at this rate."

A strong, resonant voice came from behind. Xia Chen turned around and saw a sprightly old man.

Judging from their clothing, the elderly man was probably not a tourist, but a local resident doing his morning exercise.

He glanced in surprise at Xianbu, who was sitting next to Xia Chen "fishing" with silk, and then sat down next to Xia Chen.

Xia Chen asked with a smile, "Old man, what do you mean by that?"

The old man said leisurely, "Dragon Leap Waterfall has too much water and a rapid flow. The water spirits that can live under the waterfall are not weak and will not take the bait."

He turned to look at Fairyclops, then shook his head. "You elf don't even have a hook or bait, so there's no way you could catch anything..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the silk of the fairy cloth suddenly taut, and a tremendous force came from the water.

Clearly, the fish has taken the bait!

"Buyi—"

Xianbu, who had been squatting, stood up, quickly adjusted his posture, and with a sudden burst of strength, water splashed, and a blue shrimp that was nearly half a meter long was pulled ashore.

Xianbu caught a prawn with an iron arm.

elder:"......"

How can you possibly catch fish with a silk ribbon without a hook or bait?

Undoubtedly, this wasn't fished up, but rather tied up...

The old man suddenly felt that his fishing skills had been greatly insulted.

Xia Chen didn't care how Fairy Cloth was caught; he excitedly said, "Well done, Fairy Cloth! Knock it out!"

"Buyi!"

With a high-speed star shot that controlled its power, the Iron Arm Pistol Shrimp was stunned and disoriented, and without any resistance, it was captured by Xia Chen into the diving ball.

One-sixth of the KPI target for April has been achieved.

…………

The old man watched in amazement, "I've seen experienced fishermen use Pokémon like Crested Tundra and Pelipper, but I never imagined your Pokémon would be such a good helper for fishermen. What's its name?"

Xia Chen readily replied, "She's Sylveon, and this is our first time fishing."

"Sylveon? When did Eevee get a new evolution?"

The elderly man, who didn't seem to use the internet much, remarked with some emotion, "Back when I was a trainer, Eevee only had five evolutions."

Xia Chen remained silent. The old man's trainer career did indeed start quite early; Espeon and Umbreon had been discovered more than a decade ago.

Perhaps it was a mutual appreciation between fishermen, but the old man took a liking to Xia Chen and advised him, "If you want to catch a water-type Pokémon, you can go to the waterfall and take a look. Generally, the higher you climb the waterfall, the more suitable it is to catch."

Although Xia Chen had no intention of taming and raising one, he still asked curiously, "Old man, what do you mean by that?"

The old man said solemnly, "Waterfall climbing tests not only the strength of water-type Pokémon, but also their willpower. A Pokémon may be weak in strength, but it cannot be weak in willpower. And those who can climb high are all water-type Pokémon with strong willpower."

Xia Chen nodded in realization. As expected of an experienced trainer, he had his own unique insights into Pokémon.

So he naturally asked the old man for advice on raising water-type Pokémon, and the old man answered all his questions without reservation.

An old man and a young boy were fishing and chatting happily in the pond.

Before parting, the old man said, "By the way, in a few days when the ice and snow have completely melted and the water volume is at its peak, the annual waterfall climbing festival will be held here. It will be very lively then, so you can come and have some fun."

He then changed the subject, warning, "However, these days there have been scammers near the waterfall teaching you Waterfall Climbing moves, claiming that their Waterfall Climbing techniques will allow Pokémon to climb to the top. Don't believe them. In all these years, I've never seen a Pokémon that can climb to the top of the waterfall."

A waterfall festival... Xia Chen pondered for a moment.

Last time, there was a Sacred Tree Festival in Aroma City, and after attending, the sacred tree withered. I hope this time, during the Waterfall Climbing Festival, the waterfall will be gone...

However, this is just a joke; the birth and withering of the divine tree are clearly related to Xerneas's awakening.

This waterfall is a natural landscape; how could it suddenly disappear when it was perfectly fine?

…………

Xia Chen had a fruitful day fishing by the pool below the waterfall, his bag full of more than a dozen diving balls.

He generously sent Professor Syracuse all the Pokémon he owed from last month and all the Pokémon he wanted to catch this month.

Although none of these dozen or so Water-type Pokémon were caught by fishermen themselves...

To be honest, Xia Chen didn't expect that Ibu, who looked so delicate and weak, was actually quite strong.

Fishing is a very strenuous activity. Those fast-moving big fish are incredibly strong, as vividly illustrated in Xia Chen's famous novel "The Old Man and the Sea" from his previous life.

Moreover, that was just an ordinary salmon; needless to say, there are fish spirits in this world with extraordinary powers.

Even so, Xianbu still managed to win a tug-of-war with Hudoujiansuo; his power was somewhat terrifying...

Xia Chen also encountered a scorpion with a sharp hook. It was so strong that it almost pulled him directly into the pool the moment it bit him. If it weren't for the silk cloth that caught him in time, Xia Chen would definitely have fallen in.

As for why Xia Chen could recognize it as a chubby snapper even though he didn't catch it... well, that has to do with how this guy popped up and mocked Xia Chen after winning the "battle".

Xia Chen then realized that some fish with bad tempers in this area would use fishermen as opponents to hone their strength.

Undoubtedly, Xia Chen lost...

However, Xianbu quickly avenged him. With a stretch of silk, the scoop that had just mocked Xia Chen was swept ashore by a strange force before it could even react.

In less than thirty years, Xia Chen immediately taught Hudou Jiansuo what "Don't underestimate a trainer's poverty" meant. After another string of high-speed stars, a brand new Submarine Ball welcomed its new resident.
