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

So I really learned meditation?

Xia Chen still finds it somewhat unbelievable when he thinks about it now.

That's right, it must be related to the Devil Fruit that Zoroah just fed me!

Once Xia Chen realized what was happening, he immediately wanted to find Zoroia to ask her for clarification. But when he turned around, he found her whispering with Sylvanas and Kirlia on the table, seemingly discussing something.

However, seeing the strange glances they kept giving him, Xia Chen suddenly felt a chill. These guys were definitely not thinking anything good.

He coughed lightly, adopting the authority of the head of the family, and said sternly, "Zoroa, come here."

"Yo..."

The little fox walked over reluctantly, with Kirlia and Sylvanas following behind her.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Soroya made a circle with her hand, and Xia Chen could tell that she was describing the fruit that she had just given him to eat.

Xia Chen said helplessly, "I know it's because of that fruit. I was asking where that fruit came from?"

Zorua shook his head, it was unclear whether he meant he didn't know or had no comment.

Xia Chen suddenly felt a toothache, and it seemed that even if Soroya didn't say anything, he really couldn't do anything about it.

…………

At this moment, Xianbu, the senior member of the team, stepped forward. She took Xia Chen's hand and led him to the computer, then skillfully opened the document.

Silk flew across the keyboard, and a line of text appeared before Xia Chen's eyes.

"How to gain superpowers is no longer important."

Well, that's true... Anyway, it's been a long time since I've known nothing about the elves' secrets.

Although they are his own spirits, Xia Chen believes that every intelligent life form is an independent individual, so he gives each spirit enough privacy.

Otherwise, if he persisted in his pleading, Xia Chen believed that Kirullian and the others would eventually speak up.

Xia Chen nodded, acknowledging Xianbu's statement.

Upon seeing this, Xianbu immediately typed the second line of text.

"We have something more important to do now, and that is to help you develop superpowers!"

Hmm, that's true.

Just as elves need to train to grow stronger, humans with superpowers also need to train and improve their superpowers through methods such as meditation.

Even the exceptionally talented Sabrina would likely be the same.

Xia Chen nodded again in agreement with Xianbu's statement.

Then he saw the third line of text that Xianbu had typed.

"So, now it's our turn to train you~"

Xia Chen: "......"

After hiding it for so long, has the true intention finally been revealed?

Help! My Pokémon wants to train its trainer!

…………

Although somewhat reluctant, Xia Chen finally agreed to Xianbu's strange request.

After all, having gained superpowers that so many people could only dream of with Zorua's help, it would be a waste not to cherish and train them properly.

Moreover, Xia Chen still vividly remembers the scene from more than a month ago. With this opportunity right in front of him, he absolutely does not want to let it slip away.

So, in the following days, Xia Chen followed the training schedule arranged by Xianbu and began regular training with his three Pokémon masters.

Although they are called three Pokémon masters, Kirlia is mainly responsible for teaching them, because she is the only proper Psychic-type Pokémon.

The training of superpowers naturally begins with the simplest form of telekinesis.

However, although Xia Chen inexplicably gained superpowers, he didn't seem to have many. Even the simplest telekinesis was slow to manifest.

Kirullian was a very patient teacher. After thinking it over, she gave Xia Chen a tool to aid his cultivation: a spoon.

It's the spoon that Xia Chen won as a prize in the Battle Royale competition shortly after Ralts was born last year—the spoon used by Alakazam, a gym leader.

Xia Chen looked at the psychic power-enhancing tool that he had once given to Ralts and found it both funny and sad. He never expected that after all the twists and turns, it would end up in his hands.

Despite his complaints, Xia Chen, knowing full well that he had no talent, still obediently used the auxiliary item.

Finally, under Kirlian's guidance, Xia Chen managed to release his first burst of Nen through his own efforts.

Although its function is merely to turn over a piece of paper...

Despite the difficulty of completing his first experience with telekinesis, Xia Chen was still very excited.

He looked at the book that was moving without wind and secretly vowed that one day he would be as strong as Sabrina!

Chapter 174 Dragon Island, the Fifth Spirit?

Having gained a basic grasp of superpowers, Xia Chen was like a child who had acquired a new toy, completely engrossed in meditation and telekinesis training.

Feeling himself grow stronger little by little, Xia Chen suddenly felt a connection with his own Pokémon. No wonder they loved training so much...

As the saying goes, no matter how powerful you are in a game, it's all fake.

A real man should be able to command respect and influence in the real world!

Of course, it's probably impossible to use superpowers to control the weather, but Xia Chen thinks that allowing the Pokémon to fight without any worries in wild battles isn't too far-fetched.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, Xia Chen began a life of ascetic training in the mountains, where there was no day or night.

Aside from grocery shopping, occasionally being called out by Mingyi to train or spar, and handling important matters at the company, Xia Chen has almost never stepped out of his home.

His tireless study and practice paid off, and a month later, Xia Chen's mental power finally made some progress.

……

Inside the room, Xia Chen stared intently at the fairy cloth before him, holding his breath.

The spiritual power solidified into a tangible force, forming an invisible mental energy that supported Xianbu from beneath, slowly lifting her up.

Sensing the power originating from Xia Chen's spiritual energy beneath him, Xianbu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

After so many attempts, this was the first time Xia Chen had ever lifted her up.

However, his cool demeanor lasted only three seconds. In less than two seconds, Xia Chen's mental energy was completely exhausted, and the unsupported Xianbu instantly fell from mid-air.

With a graceful somersault in mid-air, Senbu landed safely on the bed.

Ms. Kirullian, who was watching from the side, nodded in satisfaction, expressing her approval of her prized student, Xia Chen.

Xia Chen smiled as he successfully lifted the fairy cloth for the first time. Although he was exhausted from exhausting his mental energy, all the effort was worthwhile.

A month ago, he could barely blow up a piece of paper weighing only a few milligrams, but now he can lift nearly thirty kilograms of fairy cloth.

The difference in growth is more than ten thousand times!

At this rate of growth, in another month I'll be able to lift things weighing hundreds of tons, and in another year, I'll be able to smash through a universe with a single punch...

Of course, that's impossible.

However, such a pace of progress was enough to make Xia Chen happy.

During this month, Xia Chen only learned one technique besides meditation: telekinesis, because telekinesis is the foundation of most superpower techniques.

Techniques like mental shock, mental power, or mental hammer are all achieved through different forms of mental power.

According to Kirlian's arrangement, Xia Chen will only be able to advance to the next stage of learning if he can use his Nen to break through Zoroa's defenses.

As for why it was Zoroia, it's because she's the weakest of the four Pokémon...

Therefore, in terms of cultivating superpowers, Xia Chen can be described as having a "promising future".

However, Xia Chen was not in a hurry. After all, his main job was still as a trainer, and it was impossible for a real Pokémon battle to actually happen in a situation where "Xia Chen was warming up on the sidelines".

The important thing is to train the Pokémon properly.

So in the following days, the Pokémon that had just had their fill of being "trainers" returned to their rightful places.

…………

July 15th, Zhijiang City Shuijun International Airport.

Xia Chen and Ming Yi said goodbye in the waiting room.

However, it wasn't Xia Chen who left, but Ming Yi.

Since it was "studying abroad", Mingyi decided to go to the Padiyah region a month in advance to get used to life there.

As they parted, Mingyi, whose face was always beaming with a bright smile, was now rather silent, and Xia Chen didn't know what to say.

The air around them was quiet and somewhat heavy.

Such scenes are commonplace here. Apart from being good-looking, Xia Chen and Ming Yi are nothing special.

In the end, Xia Chen broke the sadness of parting. He ruffled Mingyi's bun and laughed, "Alright, it's nothing, just going to school. You can come back during winter and summer vacations."

Mingyi usually hated it when Xia Chen touched her head, but this time she didn't react. She muttered, "I know without you saying it..."

Xia Chen sighed helplessly and continued to comfort him, "Besides, I really want to travel to Padiya. You can go there this time to familiarize yourself with the area, and I'll ask you to be my guide next time I come to Padiya."

Mingyi's eyes regained some sparkle, but her words remained textbook-perfectly arrogant, "Hmph, who wants to be your tour guide..."

Knowing that Mingyi's emotions had calmed down, Xia Chen, who was familiar with his childhood sweetheart's temperament, took the initiative to open his arms.

Mingyi reluctantly moved closer and then hugged Xia Chen tightly.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than a thousand words.

……

As the plane receded into the distance and his embrace grew colder, Xia Chen walked home with a sense of loss, pondering when he would leave for Beijing.

The school doesn't seem to mind; they welcome me anytime.

Moreover, as the first place winner in the recruitment competition, the luxurious villa dormitory promised by the school had already been arranged perfectly, just waiting for Xia Chen to move in.

Since Mingyi has already left, there's no point in staying in Zhijiang alone. Why not go to the capital sooner to get used to life there?
