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

"Waaah..."

After a long, mournful cry, Dragonite flapped its wings and left this sorrowful place.

Long Yue was the first to react. She glanced speechlessly at Milotic, who was still in a daze, and quickly sent Altaria after them.

Xia Chen scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

Given his partnership-like relationship with his Pokémon, he wouldn't do something like punishing Milotic.

It's better to let him handle it himself.

Moreover, he also had some empathy for Milas. If he were to see Mingyi or Maxiu again, and their weight had doubled, he probably wouldn't be so happy.

Wait a minute, why am I using such a strange analogy?

Just as Xia Chen was thinking about what he could do, the Salamence that had led the way at the beginning suddenly roared angrily.

Suddenly, he unleashed a powerful purple dragon breath, which shot straight at Milotic, who was still in a daze!

Chapter 181 King of Dragon Island, Giant Dragonite

The surging water and the fierce dragon breath collided majestically in the air. After a brief stalemate, the dragon breath that the Salamence suddenly unleashed overwhelmed the water cannon and exploded in front of Milotic.

"Fuwoo!"

Because the water cannon's defenses were weakened, the dragon's breath didn't cause Milotic much damage, but the sudden attack enraged Milotic. He glanced coldly at the Salamence, as if he were saying something.

"Roar!" Salamence roared back defiantly.

Although Xia Chen didn't know what the two elves were arguing about because of the language barrier, he didn't understand.

But intelligent beings share the same feelings, and he roughly guessed why the Salamence had suddenly launched a sneak attack.

What else could it be?

Considering the unfriendly look that Salamence gave him earlier, and the similar mindset of characters like Boiling Sheep, Two-Faced Turtle, and Black Tiger, this Salamence probably has the same mindset.

Xia Chen shook his head slightly. Why would someone who's perfectly capable of being a dragon choose to be a dog?

However, all things considered, this "licking dragon" is still quite powerful.

Although the act of sneak attack is somewhat despicable, the fact that this Salamence could suppress Milotic's signature Water Cannon with a Dragon Breath attack that is far less powerful than Water Cannon shows that this Salamence is at least at the elite level.

That's normal. In the game, Salamence's evolution level is 50. A Pokémon that can reach this level is roughly at the elite level.

While they were pondering, the conflict between Salamence and Milotic had escalated further.

The two dragons spoke louder and louder, and Salamence's face showed obvious violent emotions, as if it had been provoked by Milotic's words.

A group of pseudo-legendary creatures, mostly lively pseudo-legendary babies like Gible, Baby Dragon, and Jangmo-o, gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Judging from their eyes, which seem to enjoy watching the drama unfold, they're probably thinking something like, "Boring, I want to see rivers of blood."

You know what, given the naturally aggressive and belligerent nature of Dragon-type Pokémon, it's not impossible.

…………

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Xia Chen quickly threw out the Poké Balls of Sylveon and Kirlia.

Although this is Dragon Island, their territory, there are countless powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.

But Xia Chen was not afraid; weakness can never bring peace.

Moreover, he didn't believe that powerful tribal leaders would let this brainless salamander run rampant.

But if a fight really breaks out, Senbu and the others can provide immediate support.

"Buyi?"

Sylveon, who had just emerged from the Poké Ball, was also somewhat bewildered by the scene.

However, she clearly sensed the tense atmosphere on the scene, and with a leap, Sylvanas jumped in front of Milotic.

Although she doesn't get along with Milotic normally, she won't hesitate to stand up for herself in a situation where they're united against a common enemy.

Sylveon turned to Milotic, flashing its little fangs, and confidently declared, "Sylveon! (Leave it to me!)"

I'm a professional at slaying dragons!

However, Milotic was unmoved, and said in a deep voice, "Fuwoo! (I'll handle this myself!)"

Milotic's pride wouldn't allow him to stand behind Xenbu at a time like this.

Sylveon wasn't the kind of elf who would invite trouble, and since Milotic had already said so, she didn't want to meddle.

But whether the Salamence was simply out of its mind or genuinely didn't take Fairybear seriously, it glanced disdainfully at Fairybear, who was several times smaller than it, and snorted coldly.

"Ouch—(Where did this little brat come from? Get lost! Or I'll take care of you too!)"

Just as Xenbu was about to leave, upon hearing this, her eyes suddenly narrowed, a strange smile appearing on her lips. She turned back to Milotic and said, "Now, this matter concerns me, doesn't it?"

Milotic: "..."

Forget it, Salamence, good luck to you.

…………

Xia Chen looked at Xianbu, who had transformed into a character in the play before he could even say a word, and felt rather helpless.

Kirlia and Zoroah are definitely the ones who make things easier for me.

He quickly instructed the two bewildered children, "You two don't go over there yet, check the situation first."

If the opponent only has this one Lickitung, Sylveon and Milotic can handle it perfectly well, and there's no need to make the situation even more chaotic.

"Qiru".

"Yo~"

Kirlia and Zoroah nodded obediently and stood back beside Xia Chen, ready to watch their Sibyl's performance.

Meanwhile, surrounded by so many juniors and repeatedly provoked by Milotic and Sylveon, Salamence's long-suppressed anger finally erupted.

After an angry roar, Salamence glared with blood-red eyes and pounced towards Sylveon and Milotic.

This is a move that most Dragon-type Pokémon can master: Outrage!

There are no special techniques for using the Reverse Scale move, because it's a move without any skill involved.

The essence of this move lies in unleashing the anger and dragon energy within the body in a chaotic and reckless manner.

Clearly, Salamence's anger had reached its peak.

Its strong, powerful wings flapped wildly and uncontrollably, and the gusts of wind they created around it elicited waves of cheers from the little dragon cubs watching.

That's right, this is exactly the scene they want to see!

Anger, slaughter, bloodshed!

These elements truly capture the romance of the dragon!

Faced with Salamence's fierce charge, Milotic glanced at Salamence as if it were an idiot, then silently took two steps back.

The onlookers immediately started booing him. "Even a dragon has challenged you to a duel, and you're backing down now?"

Is he a real man?

Milotic ignored the rumors spread by these little dragons; they were clearly never left Dragon Island and had never experienced the harsh realities of life.

The little dragons didn't notice that the other target of the Salamence's attack, the unfamiliar outsider, suddenly grinned, revealing two shiny little fangs and a mischievous smile.

…………

However, instead of retreating, Fairyclops, locked by Reverse Scale, advanced and headed straight at the enraged Salamence, seemingly not taking this elite-level Salamence seriously at all.

The dragon cubs watching the spectacle were all astonished. This Pokémon couldn't sense the strong aura emanating from Salamence.

Has she always been this brave?

But the next second, their faces all showed expressions of utter disbelief.

Because in the face of the overwhelming Salamence, Sylveon, who was like a lone boat in the ocean, actually withstood the fierce attack of Salamence!

No, it's even more exaggerated than that. Under the attack of Salamence's Burst, Sylveon didn't seem to be affected at all!

What's happening here?

The dragon cubs, who had never been to the outside world and knew nothing about the fairy attribute that had only appeared in the last two years, were stunned.

Just a moment ago they were shouting and yelling, seemingly enjoying the chaos, but the next second, it was as if they were in a quiet library.

Even more surprised and incredulous than the dragon cubs was the Flying Dragon, whose blood-red, savage eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.

It seemed that he couldn't understand why his attack, which used all his strength and contained the most explosive dragon-type energy, had vanished without a trace, as if it had disappeared into the sea.

However, his Reverse Scale state rendered him completely incapable of thinking about the matter. The Salamence was now a puppet of his own emotions, and he could do nothing but continue to attack out of his body's instinctive rage.

But no matter how it attacked, whether it was headbutt, claw strike, or even Salamence using its teeth and wings, it still couldn't do anything to Sylveon.

On the contrary, every move that Sylveon made exuded an energy that Salamence found extremely annoying.

No, it's not just dislike, it's utter disgust.

…………

If ice energy could simply cause significant damage to one's body, then this inexplicable, unknown energy caused Salamence to develop a deep-seated aversion to it.

It's a resistance that originates deep within our genes.

But by this point, Salamence had no way back. When it chose to let its anger control it, it could only continue down this path until it was exhausted or fell into chaos.

So for the next full half minute, what was presented to the little dragon cubs was an extremely bizarre and cruel scene.

That cute, pink and seemingly harmless sprite kept relentlessly attacking the Salamence, which was several times larger and stronger than her.

The methods were extremely brutal, and the scenes were particularly bloody!

The little dragons couldn't help but swallow hard, and some of them even showed expressions of sorrow for the dying of their kind.

Xia Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, nodded silently. Long Yue had said yesterday that Dragon-type Pokémon only respect the strong; Sylveon's performance should be strong enough...

Before he could even feel happy, his heart skipped a beat again.

However, won't Sylvanas's brutality in front of so many pseudo-god cubs scare away his potential targets?

Xia Chen suddenly felt a little conflicted.
