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

Absol had just shakily gotten up when a pair of warm, large hands forcefully pressed her back down.

"Ab!"

She glared angrily at Xia Chen, who had saved her, not understanding what he wanted to do. He had clearly promised to let her go after she was healed!

Xia Chen gently massaged Absol and said softly, "You're too tired. Your strength is completely depleted. If you set off now, you won't be able to run very far."

She desperately wanted to get up, but those warm hands seemed to have a magical power, causing Absol, who had always been alone, to inexplicably develop a feeling called dependence.

She tried desperately to break free from this gentle trap, but she couldn't move at all.

"Look, your strength is so bad that even I, a human, can't break free. Take a good rest."

Yes, it's because my physical strength is too poor right now, not because I'm reluctant to leave this feeling I've never experienced before...

As she walked down the steps that Xia Chen had specially made for her, Absol gradually calmed her panic and lay peacefully on Xia Chen's lap.

Xia Chen shook his head and chuckled. Another elf who even deceives herself.

I'm not from Super Pallet Town, how could I possibly have the strength to trap a Pokémon?

…………

Ignoring that, Xia Chen got down to business: "Absol, I want to know, can you sense whether an impending disaster is a natural one or caused by the elves?"

Absol, in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, subconsciously shook his head.

She could only judge the occurrence of the disaster based on the rhythm of the sky and the earth, but she did not know the reason for the abnormal rhythm.

But why would this human ask such a strange question? What elf could possibly cause something that could be considered a "disaster"...?

Absol muttered to himself.

No, there's one!

Absol, who had lived on this land for decades, immediately thought of a possibility...

The legendary Pokémon that exists in the form of the [Cocoon of Destruction]!

Absol was startled and all sleepiness vanished.

If it really is Him, then my uncertainty about the disaster can be explained.

Because that powerful being was still in the prelude to awakening, the rhythm was naturally not so obvious.

"Ab!"

Absol was so excited that he tried to get up again, but Xia Chen pressed him down once more.

"Don't worry, my companions have already notified the two nearest cities through advanced human technology."

He first reassured Absol, then asked, "We need you to do what we can't. Do you know... when Yveltal awoke? And where?"

Xia Chen looked at Absol with a nervous expression.

If these two key factors can be identified, then everything will be much easier.

Before the Cocoon of Destruction awakens, evacuating all people and elves in the vicinity of that area will minimize casualties.

As for the plants and trees other than humans and elves... I can only apologize.

Under Xia Chen's tense gaze, Absol shook his head and then nodded.

Xia Chen: "......"

What does it mean? You know, but you don't fully understand?

Just as Xia Chen was wondering how to communicate with Absol, Sinbu, who had been quietly listening beside him, suddenly stepped forward.

“Buyi—(I'll talk to her.)”

…………

At that moment, Karuni returned from her phone call.

Although she hadn't spoken yet, Xia Chen could already tell the result from her expression.

At this moment, Karuni resembled a doctor who had just come out of the operating room and was about to say, "I'm sorry, I did my best."

As expected, Karuni said, "I've already spoken with the top leaders in both cities, and they asked... if there's any more direct evidence?"

As expected, Xia Chen shrugged and replied to the official response: "Absol might be able to predict when and where Yveltal will awaken, but that can't be considered direct evidence, right?"

Karuni nodded helplessly.

Xia Chen suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious, did you predict Xerneas's awakening?"

Karuni was speechless.

Xia Chen suddenly sighed, "Perhaps it's precisely because Xerneas didn't cause any damage when it awoke that the League's higher-ups believed that legendary Pokémon weren't actually that destructive..."

The legendary elves of this world are very prestigious and rarely appear in front of humans, especially the "cover gods".

Xerneas is even the first cover god to appear in the human eye in nearly a century.

To be honest, Xia Chen didn't know how much damage Y God's awakening could cause, but Xerneas's fairy aura when he awakened could affect Carlos's entire ecosystem and even create a new attribute.

As for God Y, who is on the same level as Him, he probably can't be too bad even if he's not great.

At the very least, its expressiveness is definitely no worse than that of animation.

"So that's how it is. What are you planning to do?"

Karuni's question brought Xia Chen out of his reverie.

He looked at Xanthius, who was communicating with Absol, and said in a deep voice, "Let's see how Xanthius and Absol communicate. If there is any definite information, I think I'll use my influence to speak out."

…………

Absol eventually left like the wind.

Although Xia Chen lied to her, saying that the humans had been notified and were preparing to evacuate, she gazed into the depths of the vast, enchanting forest.

Clearly, she still wanted to share this warning with more elves, even though she knew she was also in deep trouble, and even though very few creatures believed in her.

Xia Chen couldn't stop Absol. Forcibly defeating and subduing her would only make her hate him for the rest of her life, so he could only let her leave.

However, before leaving, Absol told Sinbu all the information he knew.

On the snow, Fairy Cloth drew a simple map with silk.

The three dots in the corner represent the three cities surrounding the Enchanted Forest: Baike City, Yingxue City, and Lianli Town.

Between the three points, the rising shape represents Mount Kawa Snow Mountain, while the oval shape represents the Enchanted Forest.

Xianbu drew a circle at the junction of Kawa Snow Mountain and the Enchanted Forest.

"Is this the sleeping place of the Cocoon of Destruction? Is this the only place we can be sure of?" Xia Chen asked, frowning.

Proportionally speaking, such a large circle would cover an area of ​​nearly a thousand square kilometers, yet its exact location still cannot be determined.

Sinbu shook his head, indicating that Absol didn't know the more precise location either.

Then, she used a piece of silk to draw an arrow between the circle and the dot representing Yingxue City.

Chapter 160 Warning? Rumor?

Karuni asked solemnly, "You mean, this is Yveltal's route after he awoke?"

If we can determine the general direction of the impact, things will be much easier to handle.

Xianbu nodded in agreement.

Although this information was not revealed by Absol, it was something she learned based on her memories from her past life.

But at times like this, it doesn't really matter if we blame it on Absol, since she's no longer here...

Xia Chen stroked his chin and pressed on, "Then when will Yveltal awaken? Can you confirm that?"

Xianbu drew a line.

Xia Chen guessed, "One day later?"

“Bu-i…” Senbu shook his head and tapped below the line.

Xia Chen's heart tightened. "Within a day?"

Xianbu nodded slowly.

"This is difficult..." Xia Chen muttered to himself.

Five minutes later is also within a day, and twenty-three hours later is also within a day. This time and location range is still too vague.

More importantly... this timeframe is too short!

However, Xia Chen also knew that this was all the information available at the moment.

Karini patted Xia Chen on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry too much, I'll talk to Mr. Defu, the gym leader of Yingxue Gym. The most important thing right now is to catch two Flying-type Pokémon that can take us out of the Enchanted Forest!"

Xia Chen nodded. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to think of any more comprehensive ideas.

He continued, "In that case, Miss Karuni, you should send your Pokémon out to search for suitable Flying-type Pokémon, and spread the word to any Pokémon you encounter along the way."

Karuni asked, "And what about you?"

Xia Chen waved his phone: "I'm going to spread this news online."

Karuni hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you have enough influence? Do you need my help?"

Xia Chen looked at her in surprise.

Although Karuni is not yet the champion of the Carlos region, her influence is already several levels higher than mine just because of her status as a star, not to mention in the Carlos region.

But this news is simply appalling...

"Are you sure you want to spread rumors with me?" Xia Chen asked jokingly.

Karune was amused by his statement. "Didn't you believe in Sylveon and Ralts without reservation? Why do you say it's a rumor?"

Xia Chen shrugged and said, "Rationally speaking, without conclusive evidence, what I'm about to do is no different from spreading rumors. I'm willing to believe in my spirit, but I won't ask others to believe it too."

He suddenly sighed, "If this hadn't happened, I would definitely be disgraced."

"So, Miss Karuni, are you sure you want to take this risk with me?"

Meeting Xia Chen's gaze, Karuni smiled and nodded, "Anyway, I had already decided to retire from acting, so spreading a rumor of this magnitude is just a good excuse for me to take responsibility."
