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

Milotic roared in resentment, but the roar did not translate into power.

The last splash of water became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

As Xia Chen felt the weightlessness wash over him, he knew that Milotic had finally given up.

…………

Just when Xia Chen thought his waterfall climbing trip with Milos was about to end, a ribbon fell from the sky and tied Milos, whose body was already falling.

It's fairy cloth!

She didn't fall?

But she was tied to the monstrous tortoise with one ribbon and to the rock between the waterfalls with another. Where would she find extra ribbon to save herself?

Xia Chen looked up and saw that Fairy Cloth's other ribbon was indeed holding the Violent Devourer Turtle, and what held them tightly to the rocks in the waterfall were Fairy Cloth's slender and thin legs!

Xianbu gritted her teeth, her slender legs beginning to tremble slightly.

Clearly, even Senbu, who had endured all of this with courage and willpower, was nearing his breaking point.

Milotic's strength and stamina were insufficient to withstand the impact of the water flow at this stage, let alone the fact that its own strength only allowed it to climb twenty meters to the top of the monstrous peak. The familiar roar echoed again, undoubtedly indicating that another wave of surging water was about to strike.

The topmost fairy cloth was swallowed by the water dragon first. Its slender legs trembled incessantly, and it finally couldn't withstand it. It loosened the ribbon binding Milotic and fell down with the current along with the Devourer.

Having lost its last lifeline, Milotic will also fall...?

That's what Xia Chen thought, but things didn't turn out that way.

Beneath it, a strange power seemed to suddenly surge from Milotic's body, resisting the immense force of the water dragon!

Xia Chen looked down and was surprised to find that Milotic's body seemed to be... glowing?

…………

Why don't we go down?

The synergy between trainers and Pokémon is quite remarkable. When this thought popped into Xia Chen's mind, Milotic also suddenly felt a desire to retreat.

Because of my own abilities, it seems that my body can only support me to get here.

The cascading water from the top of the cliff seemed to provide Minas with an excellent stepping stone for retreat.

This is the will of Heaven, what can I do?

Anyway, no elf has ever reached the top, so it won't make a difference if I do too!

He is prepared to accept his failure with equanimity.

But just then, something unexpected appeared.

The fairy cloth bound his heavy body!

She wasn't swept away and even saved herself?

Milotic looked up in shock, only to discover a scene that he would never forget.

Compared to the cascading curtain of water, the tiny Fairy Cloth bore the brunt of it all with her frail body!

Milotic was stunned.

He seemed to realize he had a cheat code, but he still couldn't catch up with Senbu.

He seemed to understand what Sinbu had told him that day.

"I will prove your cowardice... You don't need to do anything, just look at me."

The system says I've changed, and I do feel like I've changed, but... is my change really enough?

It's just that it went from a cowardly and ugly fish to a relatively hardworking Milotic.

To become a divine dragon capable of carrying Xia Chen soaring through the blue sky... that's far from enough!

At the very least, we must ensure that every effort and every struggle leaves no regrets!

The roar of the water reached Milos's ears again, but this time, he felt no sense of relief or acceptance.

There was only unwavering determination, as if it wanted to tear the water dragon apart!

Is this the will of Heaven?

Then I will break through this sky!

I'm definitely going to ride Yuelong Waterfall today!

…………

The energy within his body surged wildly, as if Milotic was trying to squeeze out every last bit of power.

Inside his body, the white jade pearl that had absorbed energy for a long time, but whose core remained unabsorbed, suddenly shone brightly.

It then transformed into a warm current, flowing into every corner of Milotic's body.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed the White Jade Pearl, reaching a growth rate of 10%, and have gained the talent "Water Control Power (Beginner)". You are the god of water, and all water should obey your commands. Within the water, doing as you please is your right, and submitting to you is their nature...]

[Uh, sorry, I was just describing a future you don't know when you'll arrive at, but you're already starting to have that ability. Why don't you try it out on this little rascal in front of you?]

The power to control water?

Milotic was somewhat surprised; this was a characteristic or move that it had never heard of in this world before.

The system's description was also strange, as if it said everything, but also as if it said nothing at all.

It doesn't say what effect it might have on itself... or what effect it might have on the enemy...

All that's left is a nonsensical sentence... making the water obey your commands?

This sounds too magical... Can Kyogre really do this?

However, this doesn't seem to be something I need to consider right now, since there's a parenthesis after the so-called [Water Control Power]: Beginner.

Being a beginner is fine; Milotic never imagined it could reach the top in one step.

He steadied himself and turned his attention back to reality; the ferocious water dragon was roaring menacingly charging toward him.

For some reason, looking at the waves that had previously filled him with panic and unease, Milotic felt completely calm at this moment.

Huh... a water dragon?

Water snake!

…………

"Fuwoo!"

Xia Chen felt that Minas's voice sounded somewhat different, not in terms of timbre, but in terms of an inner and outer change in spirit and energy.

What happened again?

Xia Chen was a little confused, but before he could finish being confused, something even more confusing happened.

The waves that had previously immobilized Milotic and were even about to plunge downwards suddenly seemed to lose their strength and were dispersed by Milotic.

They finally moved out of their spot, which had been blocking them for so long...

No, this isn't moving... it's like being swept up in an elevator!

Looking at the scenery rushing past him, Xia Chen was completely bewildered.

Are you sure this is waterfall climbing... and not a fall?

The viewers in the live stream were also stunned. The waterfall climb started off smoothly and joyfully, then came the worry as they watched the Pokémon climbing alongside Xia Chen fall one after another, followed by the astonishment of the sudden turn of events, and finally, the touching moment when Sylveon saved Milotic but fell himself...

Finally, here we are, the shock and exhilaration of Milotic breaking free from constraints and obstacles!

In just a few minutes, their emotions went through a rollercoaster ride, changing with the footage captured by Xia Chen's camera.

Of course, Milotic's current level is also still changing.

Fifty meters...

Sixty meters...

Seventy meters...

Only ten meters left to reach the summit!

Xia Chen looked up excitedly and saw that the top of the waterfall, which had seemed like an insurmountable barrier before, was now within reach.

Any obstruction from the water flow is utterly powerless against Milos's powerful impact.

Finally, the white line representing the finish line was getting closer and closer.

Xia Chen and the viewers in the live stream were on the edge of their seats.

Milotic, charge!

……

"Splash—"

A clear sound of water rang out, and Milotic's body leaped high into the air as if it were flying.

What appears before Xia Chen and the audience is the magnificent river upstream of Longyue Waterfall, which is extremely wide and broad, and the vast snow-capped mountains on both sides of the river.

Looking down, the white ribbon that stretched across the sky and earth was already beneath him.

The spirits that climbed the waterfall with Milotic were as small and invisible as ants.

now.

I will climb to the very top and look down on all the mountains below!

Chapter 154 I am the King of the World! (4k two-in-one)

It's hard to appreciate the awe and moving power of this scene without experiencing it firsthand.

Xia Chen was very fortunate to have arrived at this magnificent place at the most opportune time.

I am even more grateful to have met Milas, who showed me such beautiful scenery.

With the river wide and the sky high, the mountains are a distant blue, and a mighty river rushes underfoot, offering a panoramic view of Carlos's magnificent landscape.

Gazing at this magnificent scene, a famous scene from film history suddenly came to Xia Chen's mind.

Although it was a little embarrassing to shout out those cringeworthy lines during a live stream, Xia Chen still did it without any psychological burden.
