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

Little Dragon doesn't seem to understand the specific meaning of "partner" yet, and isn't very enthusiastic.

But that's okay. When Zoroa first joined the team, she always had a long face, but she gradually became familiar with Sylveon and the others.

After introducing his teammates to his new friends, Xia Chen suddenly remembered Milotic, who wasn't with him, and added, "Oh right, there's another guy, Milotic. He's got some things to do right now and isn't with us. I'll introduce him to you when we see him later."

"Messi~"

Xiao Duolong responded listlessly, reminding Xia Chen of his past life when his parents dragged him to visit relatives during the Lunar New Year.

He shook his head helplessly, gave up on lecturing, and let Dorgonmesia crawl back into his hair.

Perhaps because Little Dragon is a Ghost-type, it naturally exudes a chilling aura, often making Xia Chen feel a cold sensation when it perches on his head.

It felt like the top of my head had an air conditioner on.

It's quite comfortable in the sweltering summer now, but it won't be the same in winter. We must correct Xiao Duolong's bad habit then.

Hmm, this kind of flag sounds kind of familiar?

Xia Chen glanced down at the guy who was yelling, "What Ralts promised has nothing to do with my Kirlia," and sighed inwardly.

Hopefully, the newly tamed little dragon will make things easier for me.

Speaking of being hassle-free, I wonder what surprises this sprite will bring...

------

Having accomplished the most important task since arriving on Dragon Island, Xia Chen returned to the small island in the center of the lake with a relaxed mindset.

The giant Dragonite had previously told him to come find her after he caught the new Pokémon, and Xia Chen arrived as promised.

After searching the island for a while, he still couldn't find the conspicuous giant Dragonite.

However, he did see a strikingly different colored Dragonite and its trainer, Long Yue, who seemed to be comforting the Dragonite, which looked somewhat sad.

Xia Chen analyzed it silently.

The island is only so big; Milotic should have found Dragonite quickly in that short time. But now, seeing only Dragonite and not Milotic, and with Dragonite looking so heartbroken, there's only one possibility...

Milotic became a heartless dragon.

Xia Chen had no intention of judging Milotic's views on love, even though he was his own Pokémon. However, he was now in a bit of an awkward situation about how to face Long Yue.

After thinking for a moment, he decided not to disturb them and instead went to find Milos, but Long Yue noticed him and called out to him.

Xia Chen had no choice but to let the desert dragonfly land.

"Uh... Hello everyone."

Xia Chen coughed awkwardly and greeted them.

Long Yue seemed to know what Xia Chen was thinking and explained, "Things might be a little different from what you imagine. It's Dragonite... that abandoned Milotic."

Xia Chen: "......"

Abandon... isn't that a bit inappropriate? Shouldn't I be Milotic's trainer?

But putting aside the wording, this is indeed a bit unexpected.

Xia Chen originally thought that Milos was the one who would be a jerk.

I don't know what exactly happened between them...

…………

Long Yue seemed unwilling to discuss this topic any further, and instead asked, "By the way, have you tried to catch any new Pokémon? The Pokémon here have the highest potential in the entire Dragon Island."

Xia Chen nodded and then pulled down Xiao Duolong, a homebody who wasn't socially anxious but was even more so.

“Here comes Doromecia, my fifth Pokémon.”

"Little Dragon, this is my friend."

He introduced them to each other.

Long Yue looked somewhat surprised, "Hmm, it's actually a Dragon Mesia? That's a rather rare elf even on Dragon Island."

Xia Chen said with some emotion, "Indeed, it was not easy to subdue it."

Long Yue continued, "However, once you've captured this Pokémon, its evolution will be a bit troublesome. You'll need to go back to Dragon Island to find an even younger Doron Mesia."

Xia Chen was somewhat puzzled, because for certain reasons, he didn't really know much about this quasi-god.

He humbly asked, "How so?"

Dragon expert Long Yue explained, "Have you noticed that every Draco and Draco Barut has one, and two Draco Mesia?"

Xia Chen nodded; this was precisely what made this group unique.

Long Yue continued, "Research shows that without another juvenile, Doronmesia cannot evolve. Although after evolution, Doronchi and its Doronmesia are still two separate individuals."

"The prevailing view is that this is because the Doromecia in nature were too weak before evolution. So, in the process of inheritance, they gradually formed this tradition of the old leading the new and the strong leading the weak. It was a responsibility that allowed the Doromecia to evolve into Doronchi and Doronbalut."

Xia Chen nodded thoughtfully. It sounded somewhat similar to the idea of ​​two iron dumbbells merging and evolving into a metal monster, but there were also fundamental differences.

However, he has always been optimistic. Although the conditions for evolution are somewhat demanding, he is now at least a "Steven-type" trainer.

If Steven can create a Shiny Metagross, it shouldn't be too much for him to evolve into a regular Dragapult, right?

…………

After discussing the issue of Doromecia, Xia Chen, guided by Long Yue, went to find Milotic.

At times like this, he felt it was essential for him, as a trainer, to be there to comfort Milotic.

The island wasn't large, and Xia Chen quickly spotted Milotic's solitary figure in a spot by the lake.

He quietly got off the desert dragonfly and sat silently next to Milotic.

"Ugh..."

Milos turned his head and glanced at Xia Chen, giving a listless greeting.

Xia Chen wasn't in the mood to introduce new companions to him right now; he was thinking about how to comfort this heartbroken dragon.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "There are plenty of fish in the sea; in fact, there are many excellent dragons in this world..."

This was the only thing Xia Chen, the little cn, could think of to comfort him in this situation.

Although it was just a simple word of comfort, Milotic really took it to heart and fell into deep thought.

Xia Chen remained silent.

This guy won't become "the most affectionate person on Dragon Island" just because of a few words of comfort from me, will he?

Regardless, this matter has come to an end, and all that's left is for time to heal.

Xia Chen and Minas were sitting by the lake, leaning against each other, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed behind them.

Xia Chen suddenly turned around and found that it was the giant Dragonite he had been searching for but could not find before.

…………

"You've caught your fifth Pokémon. It really is this little guy..."

A familiar voice echoed in my mind.

Xia Chen's heart stirred slightly. Did the King of Dragon Island actually know a little dragon Mesia?

He asked curiously, "Do you know it? Why isn't Doronchi or Doronbaruto taking care of it?"

The giant Dragonite pondered for a moment, then said, "Once upon a time, he had two companions who were also Dragapults, and he was the youngest. Later, a human came to the island and took away the largest of the three. Then, that person returned once, and because he needed to evolve into Dragapult, he took the second oldest with him..."

Xia Chen remained silent.

He didn't ask "And then what?" because he knew that since Little Dragon had stayed on Dragon Island, it meant there was no "and then what?"

Little Dragon's past was not complicated, nor did it involve any deep-seated grievances, but Xia Chen sensed a profound loneliness from Dragonite's words.

Perhaps the largest Dragapult had promised to come back to him when it evolved into Dragapult, or perhaps it hadn't.

But Xia Chen knew that Xiao Duolong definitely had expectations for this, otherwise, why would he, after choosing him, crawl into his hair like he was clinging to Duolongqi's head?

He touched the top of his head, where Doronmesia seemed lost in thought, and said softly, "From now on, you'll stay on my head."

"Messi~"

Dorgon Messia felt more at ease lying down.

…………

"By the way, what did you mean by '[Dragon Messenger]' earlier?"

After learning about Dorgonmesia's past, Xia Chen finally had time to ask the question that had been bothering him for a while.

The giant Dragonite seemed to have guessed that Xia Chen would ask this question, and said calmly, "You can understand it as... a blessing, a blessing from the Dragon God."

"The Dragon God's...blessing?"

Xia Chen was even more confused. Who was the Dragon God that the giant Dragonite was talking about?

Rayquaza? The Three Dragons of Sinnoh? The Three Dragons of the Path?

There are countless legendary spirits with dragon attributes, scattered throughout the player-classified first-level gods, second-level gods, and mythical beasts, and they are mostly high-end.

Which one is the giant Dragonite referring to?

Chapter 184 What is Little Dragon's "Secret"? (6.4k views)

Riding a Flygon and following behind the giant Dragonite, Xia Chen felt he was getting closer and closer to the secrets of Dragon Island.

The reason Dragonite can grow to such a large size is because it attracts the special aura of Dragon-type Pokémon...

All the answers may be revealed at the place where Dragonite is about to take him for a blessing.

Not long after flying, the giant Dragonite stopped in front of a cave on the island that wasn't very big. The cave looked unremarkable and wasn't even as tall as the giant Dragonite.

But after following Dragonite inside and passing through a long tunnel, Xia Chen discovered that the interior of this underground cave was a completely different world.

The interior of the cave is spacious and well-organized, and it doesn't look like it was formed naturally at all; it looks like it was dug out.

This is not surprising, after all, [Dig] is a move that many Pokémon can learn, and this amount of work is nothing to the Pokémon on Dragon Island.

Strangely, despite being a semi-enclosed cave, Xia Chen could feel the presence of natural winds and a strange life energy pulsating within it.
