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

Xianbu woke up even earlier than Xia Chen; she was the elf whose lifestyle was most similar to Xia Chen's among all the elves.

Xia Chen couldn't sleep, and neither could she.

Carefully pulling the still-sleeping Kirlia off him, Xia Chen tiptoed to the window and stared blankly at the still dimly lit scenery outside with Xianbu.

Xia Chen yawned and chatted with Xianbu until the sun rose as usual.

"How did you sleep last night? Did you enjoy it?"

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are the most important things in human and spiritual life.

Waking up refreshed every morning and starting a wonderful new day with the elves, Xia Chen felt there was nothing more comfortable than this.

And one's mood upon waking up is often determined by the quality of sleep the previous night.

Therefore, whether you sleep comfortably or not is the most important thing after moving into your new home.

"Buy~"

Xianbu stretched and nodded lightly.

In his previous life, Xia Chen failed to get into his desired university despite a year of hard work because he didn't work hard enough.

She could sleep soundly in a four-person dorm room, let alone her current life in a top-tier dorm room at a top university.

In short, it doesn't matter where I sleep, as long as I'm with Xia Chen, that's fine.

But looking back, compared to their previous lives, both I and Xia Chen have veered far off course in our lives...

An evolution he initiated ahead of time, Xia Chen's beautiful energy cube business that didn't exist in his previous life, and his completely different yet interesting companions from his past life...

All these novel experiences have led Senbu to completely accept himself in this timeline.

…………

On the second day after moving into the dormitory, Xia Chen was still busy.

The things I bought at the department store yesterday need to be sorted and put away properly. The preliminary plan for raising and training the little dragon needs to be further improved, and there's also the matter of the Ghost-type training manual.

Before she knew it, the morning had passed by in a flurry of activity, and Xia Chen didn't even have time for her usual meditation practice.

However, time was not wasted. Before lunch, the new house had been tidied up by Xia Chen and Xian Bu.

The first phase of the training and development plan for Little Dragon has been completed, and Xia Chen has directly scheduled the plan for the time when Little Dragon evolves into Dragon Qi.

There's no follow-up on the Ghost-type training manual yet; Teacher Lin Quan said he needs to consult with his superiors.

Xia Chen was not surprised. This kind of thing cannot be measured by money. If a Champion-level trainer is unwilling, no amount of money can buy their training secrets.

Putting that matter aside for the time being, Xia Chen finally had time to practice meditation in the afternoon when he had some free time.

Having mastered his superpowers for over a month and a half, Xia Chen's strength has improved further through his relentless training.

Just over two weeks ago, he could only lift the cloth for two or three seconds; now, he has improved to half a minute.

Okay, actually he's still just as weak as ever, he can't even beat the newly joined Little Dragon.

Actually, in terms of age, Dorronmesia is not young at all; he is even much older than the team's most senior player, Xavi.

She is about two and a half years old.

However, Doromecia's growth cycle was extremely long; even among the late-blooming quasi-gods, he was among the last to achieve such success.

Data shows that Dragapult evolves into Dragapult around the same time as Deino evolves into Tyrannosaurus Rex, while it evolves into Dragapult a little earlier than Hydreigon.

Therefore, Xia Chen deduced that Dorgonmesia's two evolutionary nodes were around level 50 and level 60.

Based on the combat power that Little Dragon has shown so far, it is estimated that it will be impossible for him to reach the point of evolving into Dragonki in less than a year and a half.

…………

Teacher Lin Quan was very efficient. Xia Chen asked about the Ghost-type Pokémon breeding tips at noon, and received a reply after dinner.

"Hello Xia Chen, I have applied to the principal for the resources you requested. The principal said he would communicate with you personally. When are you available recently? I will help you make an appointment."

The principal? Does this level of resource need to alarm such a big shot?

It seems the president of Beijing University is quite famous.

Xia Chen casually typed "Who is the president of Beijing University?" into the Psyduck Encyclopedia, and an encyclopedia entry immediately popped up in the search bar.

Xia Chen muttered to himself, "Yu Chaohua, male, 51 years old, currently the president of Shangjing University, experience: 2000-2010, champion of the Donghuang region... Holy crap!"

Upon seeing the words "Eastern Glory Champion," Xia Chen's voice suddenly rose, startling even Duolong Mesia, who was perched on his head.

There's no way around it, the value of this experience is terrifyingly high.

It is conservatively estimated that there are 100 million people in the entire East Empire with Trainer Certificates, so this champion can truly be called one in a billion.

While replying to Teacher Lin Quan that "I'm free for the next few days," Xia Chen browsed through the main Pokémon of Principal Yu, the champion two days before last.

"Is your starter Pokémon Piplup, Magneton, Skarmory, Bisharp, Aggron, Metagross... proficient in Steel-type Pokémon?"

Xia Chen shook his head with regret, lamenting that he didn't have a single Steel-type Pokémon, otherwise he would definitely have asked him for advice.

Teacher Lin Quan has already replied, "The principal will be available for the next few days. He will be waiting for you in the principal's office tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she thoughtfully sent Xia Chen the location of the principal's office.

"Wow, that's pretty good treatment..."

The teacher is a dedicated liaison, and even requesting resources can involve the principal. If you were just an ordinary student, you definitely wouldn't enjoy this kind of treatment.

Feeling the meticulous and special care, Xia Chen was quite moved.

Before I knew it, I had gained the influence to arrange meetings with the champion.

To say that this is merely a perk of winning the recruitment competition would be far too naive.

Clearly, the school values ​​him so highly because of his achievements in academic research and the influence he gained in the Carlos region due to the mythical beast incident.

However, fame is fleeting; the right path is to find a way to convert influence into resources for nurturing talent...

For example, the Ghost-type Pokémon breeding manual that I desperately need right now.

After regaining his composure, Xia Chen sent a thank you message to Teacher Lin Quan and then put away his phone.

Now, it's meditation time!

…………

The next morning.

Xia Chen got up very early as usual.

After leading the elves through morning exercises and having breakfast, Xia Chen arrived at the administrative office building next to the Beijing University Arena in the center of the campus, before nine o'clock, following the navigation.

After all, the person I'm meeting today is the principal and the reigning champion of the Donghuang region. It's always good to arrive early and make a good impression.

After tidying his appearance in front of the bathroom mirror, Xia Chen walked to the principal's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A calm yet slightly authoritative male voice came from inside.

Xia Chen pushed open the door and entered, but did not see the person, only heard their voice.

However, the voice wasn't the principal's; it was his own voice coming from the computer...

"When the oil reaches about 40% of its maximum heat, you can pour in the prepared passion fruit and fry it until it's dry and fragrant..."

Xia Chen immediately realized that the president of Beijing University, the previous champion of the Donghuang region, was watching his video...

He was immediately embarrassed at the doorway.

This level of embarrassment is probably second only to being caught by one's family when a VTuber uses a voice changer to act cute in front of viewers during a live stream at home.

What a ridiculous scene...

If the principal sees the video I filmed, will my wonderful college life end before it even begins?

"What are you standing there for? Come in."

Seeing that Xia Chen hadn't come in yet, Principal Yu pressed the pause button on the video and waved to Xia Chen.

Xia Chen snapped out of her thoughts and suddenly realized that her earlier anxiety had been somewhat unnecessary.

So what if a former champion watches my videos? The current Sinnoh champion is still ranked third on my live stream leaderboard!

I was still chatting and laughing with her in the live stream, weren't I?

Calming himself down, Xia Chen walked in and sat down in the chair opposite the principal.

…………

"The food you made looks delicious, but unfortunately most of my elves love to eat metal."

Principal Yu smiled amiably and commented as follows.

Thank you for your compliment...

The principal's unconventional opening remarks left Xia Chen somewhat at a loss for words.

Suppressing his smile, Principal Yu said, "Nice to meet you. I am Yu Chaohua, and I will be your principal for the next few years."

Xia Chen replied solemnly, "Hello, Principal Yu, I am Xia Chen, a freshman this year."

Yu Chaohua looked at Xia Chen with admiration in his eyes, "I know you. I watched the matches on the last day of the recruitment competition. You are a very promising trainer, and also a very excellent researcher."

Xia Chen replied humbly, "Compared to you, my achievements are nothing."

To be honest, this isn't exactly being modest; Xia Chen is indeed far inferior to this big shot.

Yu Chaohua waved his hand, "Alright, there's no need for that. What do you young people call this... mutual flattery?"

He didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point: "I learned about your request from Kobayashi. May I know which new Pokémon you caught?"

Xia Chen replied, "As for Doromisia, I don't have any clue about the training and development of Ghost-type Pokémon yet."

Actually, another one that requires the Ghost-type Pokémon training manual is Zorua.

But apart from herself and Ma Xiu, no one else knows about that unique ghost, Zorua.

Before evolving, Xia Chen would try his best to avoid being exposed.

"Doron Messia?" Yu Chaohua tapped the table, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I understand. I'll get it for you as soon as possible. So... what's the price?"
