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

He swallowed hard, wanting to greet the aloof legendary elf, but his throat felt like it was sealed with cement, and he couldn't utter a word.

Yveltal didn't seem to be in a hurry to do anything to Xia Chen and the others; he simply stared silently at Xianbu, who was standing in front of Xia Chen, with a blank expression.

Its target isn't me, but Senbu?

Xia Chen was stunned, but he didn't relax at all. After more than half a year of companionship, Xianbu had become an inseparable and important partner to him.

Important to...

Xia Chen took a few steps forward, shielding Xianbu behind him, and looked fearlessly at Yveltal.

His current mindset is no different from that of someone who has given up entirely.

So what if I die? It's not like I've never died before. Being able to spend such a wonderful year in the world of elves that I've always dreamed of, it's not a wasted trip.

I just hope that if there's a chance to be reborn, Arceus will throw me into a less dangerous world.

Xia Chen's action attracted Yveltal's attention. It glanced at Xia Chen but remained expressionless.

There's no need to pay attention to someone who has no energy fluctuations and poses no threat whatsoever.

"Buyi!"

Xianbu, feeling both touched and helpless, used the silk to pull Xia Chen back.

What an idiot! Can you withstand one of its Deathwing attacks or its Dark Pulse?

She stood before Xia Chen once more, meeting Yveltal's gaze once more.

…………

Ten years of experience and the confidence gained from Xerneas's Horn made Xerneas less fearful. She took the initiative to ask, "Xerneas—(Respected Xerneas, what do you wish to do?)"

Although not flustered, Xianbu still kept a low profile. It's not shameful to be a little cowardly when facing a divine beast of this level.

Suddenly, a voice came from Yveltal's throat, "Eefu? (What is your relationship with Him?)"

The voice sounded ancient and mysterious, like the whispers of an ancient god from the abyss.

Xenbu's heart tightened. Was he asking about himself and Xerneas?

She paused for a moment, pondering this question that could very well influence Yveltal's attitude.

A pair of sworn enemies who love and hate each other. When faced with an elf whose aura is very similar to that of its enemy, what kind of relationship would Yveltal hope to have with Xerneas?

Successor? Challenger?

Xianbu had absolutely no clue.

But she dared not think for too long, fearing that a legendary elf like Yveltal might have the ability to see through truth and lies, so she could only reply bluntly, "Buyi—(It has nothing to do with me; I'm just a lucky one who found the Horn of Xerneas.)"

Silence fell over the forest in an instant.

Yveltal silently gazed at Xenbu, who was anxiously awaiting a response, and suddenly said, "Eefu—(Then let me see if you're worthy.)"

Before the words were finished, Yveltal's blood-red wings, which were suspended in mid-air, fluttered slightly, bending and spreading like tree branches, and then suddenly burst out with an extremely terrifying energy aura.

In an instant, pitch-black evil energy, like a black hole, surged wildly from the Bloodwing, then quickly condensed in the air into energy balls containing explosive energy, roaring like a vicious dragon trying to devour its target.

Sylveon!

"Ibu, get out of the way!"

Xia Chen, who was on edge, was the first to react, but at this moment, all he could do was offer a reminder.

However, Yveltal, who lacks martial ethics, releases its moves too quickly, almost in the microsecond. How can a mere veteran-level Pokémon face the might of a legendary beast?

As he watched the waves of evil energy, seemingly capable of devouring everything, about to engulf the Fairy Cloth, Xia Chen almost succumbed to despair.

At that moment, a dazzling five-colored light suddenly erupted from Xianbu's body, its power no less than that of the Evil Wave!

Chapter 165 Xenbow vs. Yveltal

The light was so dazzling that Xia Chen couldn't look directly at it, but he still tried to open his eyes to make sure that Xianbu was safe.

The wave of evil collided violently with the unknown technique that seemed to come from nowhere. The two terrifying energies, one bright and one dark, collided like Mars colliding with Earth, exploding with a deafening roar the instant they made contact.

The extremely high temperature generated by the energy collision caused an instant explosion, and layers of flames spread wildly outwards, distorting the air in the area to a considerable degree.

Clearly, Yveltal's sneak attack gained no advantage whatsoever; the two attacks were evenly matched!

Xia Chen was stunned. The energy that Xianbu had just unleashed had actually withstood Yveltal's attack?!

how can that be!

However, before he could even ponder this absurd and unbelievable event, a terrifying explosion generated by the attack swept through the air and hurtled towards him.

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

The aftershocks of a battle between mythical beasts, even without going all out, are something an ordinary human could not withstand.

At the critical moment, a pre-prepared silk ribbon swiftly emerged from Xianbu's body, wrapped around Xia Chen's waist, and threw him out as far as possible in a shot put motion.

Although the method was a bit barbaric and crude, at this moment, there was no time to consider whether the fall would cause injury. The most serious damage could not possibly exceed the aftershocks of the collision between these two moves.

A less-than-graceful parabola swept across the scene, and Xia Chen narrowly avoided the aftershocks of the explosion at the very center. However, he did not fall to the ground but was caught by two sticky, slippery, tentacle-like things.

Then, the elf who caught Xia Chen quickly retreated, taking him away from this place of trouble.

…………

When mythical beasts fight, it's not just Xia Chen who suffers.

The aftershocks of the energy explosion swept across everything in the surrounding air without leaving any blind spots, including the drone that had attracted almost all the attention in the world.

In the instant of the explosion, the high temperature, enough to melt tungsten filaments, easily turned the drone into a mass of molten metal.

Suddenly everything went black, and the image on the screen disappeared.

The dazzling light generated by the clash of moves between Yveltal and Sylveon became the final highlight of this live stream.

Everyone in the live stream was devastated.

"Gone??? What happened to my huge screen???"

"Damn it!! This is worse than me climaxing ten thousand times!!!"

"Damn it, which newbie did this? Yveltal, I'll remember you!"

"Holy crap, thank goodness I reacted quickly and pressed the pause button, saving the uploader's drone."

"I don't care about the live stream or anything, if that bastard Yveltal really makes a move, what will happen to Sylvanas and Master Pigeon? Will they even survive?"

"They're doomed... Even a drone that's so far away and extremely heat-resistant melted instantly in the explosion of this attack. And Xia Chen, who was so close... Sigh, all we can say is that the power of the divine beast far exceeds our imagination."

"No way! There was clearly a force resisting the evil fluctuations just now. Maybe Xerneas arrived in time. It will definitely save Xia Chen and Xianbu!"

"The power that rivals Yveltal's might originate from Xerneas, but saving him is probably impossible; the explosive power of his technique is too great."

"Thank goodness this drone recorded everything, otherwise the hero's sacrifice would have been in vain..."

"It's ridiculous that such a large region as Carlos has to bear all of this for a mere teenager!"

…………

After the dazzling light, like the explosion of a celestial body, the clearing in the woods was deathly silent.

Xianbu held the Horn of Xerneas in his silk handkerchief, staring coldly at Yveltal who had suddenly launched an attack.

At this moment, her heart was filled with worry for Xia Chen and anger towards the legendary elf before her.

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, neither I nor Xia Chen would have survived.

Perhaps to the ruthless Yveltal, the human and the elf before him were merely objects he casually used to balance nature.

She didn't childishly question Yveltal about why he launched the sneak attack, nor did she dare turn around to check on Xia Chen's condition.

The most important thing now is to deal with Yveltal's attack; otherwise, everything else is just empty talk.

Xianbu took a deep breath, continuously absorbing the immense energy transmitted from the deer antlers on the silk.

The move just now was a magical flash released from Xerneas Horn using Sylvanas as a vessel.

In that instant, the dense fairy-type energy surging from his body almost burst the container that was only a senior-level one.

To be precise, it had burst from being stretched to its limit, but was instantly healed by the antlers.

But that doesn’t mean Sylvanas didn’t pay any price. The excruciating pain was so intense that even after countless battles, Sylvanas was still in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Clearly, as long as the fight continues, every time Senbu uses a move, he will have to endure this excruciating pain.

But she was not afraid at all. Xia Chen was right behind her, and she absolutely could not fall before Xerneas arrived!

In my past life's memory of this event, Xerneas would arrive shortly after Yveltal reached Snowdrift City.

At Yveltal's speed, it would definitely take less than half an hour to fly to Snowdrift City.

It has been more than ten minutes since it woke up. Theoretically, if I can hold on for another ten minutes, I can wait for Xerneas to arrive!

But how am I supposed to withstand Yveltal's onslaught?

Xianbu was thinking about this problem very quickly.

Although he briefly gained powerful offensive capabilities through the antlers, his defensive capabilities were still only at the senior level. Against Yveltal, he would fall at the slightest touch, no matter how much he strengthened himself.

Therefore, the only viable solution is to improve one's offensive capabilities.

Meditation? Self-motivation?

It's all too slow...

A flash of inspiration struck Xianbu, and he suddenly came up with a move.

She glanced at the Corner of Xerneas and silently conveyed her fervent thoughts through the silk.

Hopefully it can understand...

…………

Yveltal didn't seem in a hurry to continue attacking Sylvanas, instead looking at her with some approval, "Eefu—(Good reaction. Before that guy arrives, take your little toy and warm up with me.)"

So, it was indeed waiting for Xerneas?

Silently sensing the response from the antlers, Sylvanas replied, "Buee—(Carlos is so big, how did you know it would come over?)"

Seemingly just awakened, or perhaps sensing that Senbu posed no threat, Yveltal replied calmly, "Eefu (It will come)."
