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

The Dragonite, which exuded a kingly aura, appeared rather reserved after entering the cave. As it slowly walked deeper into the cave, Xia Chen finally caught a glimpse of the so-called "Dragon God".

It was a sleeping, enormous spirit that resembled a dark red sphere.

There are seven conspicuous blue dots in the center, which seem to shimmer as if they are breathing.

Enclosing the sphere was a huge, black substance resembling a dragon's skull.

The dragon's horns, eyes, and teeth are clearly visible on the skull, making it look very majestic and powerful.

The dragon's bones separating the upper and lower jaws resemble the left and right arms of this giant elf, appearing both eerie and harmonious.

This Pokémon is enormous, at least twenty or thirty meters tall, making even the giant Dragonite appear tiny in comparison.

…………

Although the spirit was asleep, it still seemed to be active, breathing out rich and pure dragon energy.

Undoubtedly, this is the Dragon God that the giant Dragonite mentioned earlier, and it is also the reason why Dragon Island is called Dragon Island.

Xia Chen's experience dealing with Yveltal made him realize that legendary elves seem to have two forms: a colossal form that can reach tens or even hundreds of meters in size, and a normal form that is about the same size as ordinary elves.

That's normal. Legendary Pokémon are bound to have some differences from ordinary Pokémon.

Without a sufficiently large size, how did Groudon create land? How did Kyogre create oceans? And how did Regigigas drag the continents?

And this elf...

Judging from its size and aura alone, Xia Chen was quite certain that this was a legendary Pokémon, or rather, a legendary Pokémon that he had never seen before.

Although Xia Chen had never seen him before, it didn't mean he couldn't recognize him.

This exaggerated and eye-catching design, with its cylindrical body, immediately reminded Xia Chen of "the legendary giant".

These are the three giants that Regigigas created using rocks, icebergs, and lava, and that resemble him in appearance.

Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

Could this elf also be one of the giants created by Regigigas?

Dragon Giant?

"This is the place. Release Milotic and Doromecia; they will receive the Dragon God's blessing with you."

As Xia Chen pondered the origins of this legendary Pokémon, Dragonite's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

As he summoned the two spirits, he asked, "Do you know the origin of this... dragon god?"

Dragonite pondered for a moment, then replied, "The Venerable One has been sleeping here for thousands of years. According to the legends passed down through generations, the Venerable One has existed here in this form since our race first settled on these islands. No dragon knows its origin, nor does it know when it will awaken."

…………

Has it been sleeping here all along?

Xia Chen pondered for a moment. Legend has it that the other three known giants were sealed in the temple because people were afraid of their power.

I wonder what's going on with this one?

"Are you all ready? I am about to ask the Dragon God to bestow blessings."

The giant Dragonite's words interrupted Xia Chen's thoughts. He turned to look at Milotic and Dragapult, and seeing that both dragons were serious, he took a deep breath and replied, "We're ready!"

The giant Dragonite slowly nodded, then stood in front of the dragon pillar, its expression serious... and began to dance.

Xia Chen suddenly remembered a video he had watched on Bilibili in his previous life of a Dragonite dancing to the Paradise. Although the giant Dragonite's dance moves were not so flamboyant, they were still very... beautiful. He almost lost his composure.

Fortunately, the dance didn't last long, and the Dragonite stopped moving after a short while.

The seven blue beads on the dragon pillar seemed to respond to Dragonite's movements, flashing rapidly.

Visible to the naked eye, a purplish-red light particle gradually spread in this space, and then enveloped Xia Chen, Milos, and Dorgonmesia.

As if hypnotized, Xia Chen felt himself falling into a mysterious state between sleep and wakefulness. His consciousness gradually became blurred, while his body felt relaxed and comfortable, as if he were soaking in hot water.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he woke up.

……

The feeling of being blessed was very obvious; with every gesture, Xia Chen could feel the changes in the power within his body.

The changes weren't significant, not even comparable to the noticeable changes brought about by my two months of training in superpowers.

But the focus is not on changes in physical fitness, but on a very wonderful feeling that originates from the mind.

Xia Chen, whose mental strength was already strong, could clearly sense that he seemed to have developed a mysterious bond with Milotic and Doromecia beside him.

Xia Chen tried calling out to Milotic and Little Dragon in his mind, and they seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.

Telepathy?

Xia Chen felt a surge of excitement. If he could have the ability to communicate telepathically with dragon-type Pokémon, that would be wonderful.

He called out in his heart, "Can you hear me? Nod if you can."

However, neither Milotic nor Toro reacted.

It seems that they still can't communicate telepathically. Xia Chen pondered, thinking that they probably just have the ability to sense the inner thoughts of dragon-type spirits, like Long Yue and the others.

Now that I think about it, when Dragonite said "messenger of the dragon," he probably meant that he should also have the same abilities as the members of the Dragon Family, right?

Milotic and Doromecia, standing beside him, also had different understandings of the "Blessing of the Dragon God," silently experiencing the changes brought about by the gift.

Seeing that Xia Chen and the two Pokémon had awakened, Dragonite said, "Alright, let's go. Let's not disturb the Venerable One's rest here."

After saying this, she bowed reverently to the dragon pillar, then turned and left.

Xia Chen followed Dragonite's lead, taking Milotic and Dragapult with him.

No one noticed that as Doron Mesia turned to leave, a string of dim particles of light suddenly floated out from Reginald Lago and attached themselves to Little Doron.

------

Long Yue was surprised that Kuai Long had taken Xia Chen to see the Dragon Island Venerable. According to her, this was a privilege reserved for core members of the Dragon Taming Clan.

He is also the first outsider to receive this honor among all the people who have visited the island over the years.

Xia Chen pondered to himself that Dragonite made this decision after examining Milotic, and he even praised Milotic's pure and noble bloodline, so he must have benefited from his own Pokémon's influence.

So you're living off your own elf again...

Xia Chen muttered to himself, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He was already used to this kind of situation.

At first, he might have felt a little ashamed, but later... Xia Chen just wanted to say that he had a bad stomach and could only eat soft food.

Having successfully captured his fifth Pokémon and unexpectedly received a blessing from an unknown legendary Pokémon, Xia Chen's trip to Dragon Island came to a perfect end.

Long Yue also picked up her elf. The two discussed it and decided to stay here for another night before leaving the next morning.

After all, this place is quite far from Donghuang. If we set off now, we would probably have to fly in the dark, and it's not only uncertain whether the elves would know the way, but it's also not safe.

So they pitched their tent and began their last night on Dragon Island.

Without a trace of human society's hustle and bustle, the night on Dragon Island was very peaceful, but Xia Chen was not bored, because there was an important matter to attend to tonight.

He was going to hold a welcome ceremony for the new member of the team, Xiao Duolong.

Although this is in the wild, the welcoming ceremony doesn't need to be too grand; just enough to show everyone's welcome to Dorgonmesia.

At the same time, this was also a farewell banquet for Doron Mesia as she left Dragon Island, and Xia Chen also invited the little dragon cubs around to see the little Doron off.

The dragon cubs were very enthusiastic about the food that was rarely seen in human society on Dragon Island.

Xia Chen didn't know what the relationship between Xiao Duolong and them was like before, but the farewell banquet was a scene of joy and harmony.

Finally, the atmosphere became lively, and at the suggestion of one of the giblets, they danced a circle around the campfire to send off the little dragon.

"Messi..."

The warm flames of the campfire were reflected in Xiao Duolong's big, bright yellow eyes, and his gaze shone with a light of emotion.

Xia Chen smiled and raised her camera to capture this heartwarming moment.

…………

Because there was plenty of food prepared beforehand, and the little dragons didn't have big appetites, the farewell and welcome banquet came to a perfect end after feeding every elf who came to the bonfire party.

As the campfire died down, the dragon cubs scattered back to their nests, and Xia Chen and his own elf crawled into the tent.

After a long day of traveling, taming spirits, and receiving blessings, the exhausted Xia Chen quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The energetic elves looked at each other, then unanimously turned their attention to the little dragon who had just joined the team that day.

The four spirits have been together for a long time, some for as little as half a year, and others for almost a year.

Although they still have some little secrets about each other, they know each other quite well.

As for this new little guy, they were very curious about whether any "magical changes" had occurred in Xiao Duolong after he joined the team.

They tacitly surrounded Dorommesia, and after exchanging glances, the senior, Senbu, spoke first.

“Buyi—(Don’t be afraid, this is just an internal meeting. We regularly use this to exchange information. You’ve just joined the team, so we called this meeting immediately to discuss something small.)”

Dorgon Messia blinked and asked, "Messi—(Does the trainer know about this?)"

Xianbu raised an eyebrow in surprise. This guy might not seem very bright, but he's actually quite clever!

However, I, a movie star, have been working on film sets for ten years, and there's never been a scene I couldn't handle.

She replied matter-of-factly, "Buyi—(Of course I don't know. A mature Pokémon should learn to share the burdens of its trainer. You're not just some lazy bum who only knows how to crawl into Xia Chen's hair, are you?)"

Simple is often the most efficient. With a little provocation, the unconvinced Little Dragon fell into Sylvanas's rhythm.

He nodded, indicating his willingness to join the meeting.

Sylveon nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said, "Sylveon—(This meeting will be conducted in a question-and-answer format, where each Pokémon can choose one target to ask a question. I'll start by demonstrating.)"

…………

"Buyi—(Asking Dorgonmesia, has anything changed about you today?)"

Doron Messia tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and replied, "Messi—(Of course I do, I know Xia Chen and you guys!)"

Xianbu: "......"

Of course I know that, can you please stop answering with nonsense?

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Dorgonmesia was pretending to be stupid or simply had no other answer.

But the rules had been set beforehand that a Pokémon could only ask one question, so she had no choice but to reluctantly give Milotic the next chance to ask a question.
