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

…………

Xia Chen chose to set off at this time not only because of the sudden power outage in Miare City.

It would be incredibly foolish to base one's actions on the enemy's signals.

More importantly, the Xerneas Horn that Xerneas had left for himself to use for communication, which Xerneas had once picked up, was now flashing a light as a reminder.

This is why Xia Chen is certain that Team Flare has already made a move in the Sunset Forest.

Therefore, as Leton moved at full speed, the Sunlit Forest, located northwest of White Sandalwood City, soon came into view.

Under the dim moonlight, the forest inexplicably exuded a sinister and terrifying aura.

The closer they got, the more serious Xianbu's expression became, nestled in Xia Chen's arms. Sensing her state of mind, Xia Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

"Buyi... (It feels like that guy's scent...)"

Xianbu murmured softly, "Buyi... (like the one we met in the Enchanted Forest two years ago...)"

Xia Chen asked in surprise, "You mean, Yveltal?"

Xianbu nodded, "Buyi—(Hmm...the aura is very similar.)"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gu Leton also reminded them, "I do sense a very aggressive aura; their strength may not be inferior to Xerneas's."

Therefore, Leighton's judgment is undoubtedly conclusive.

Within the Twilight Forest lies Yveltal, but...

How did it get here?

Xia Chen muttered to himself in confusion, "Could it be that he has really been subdued by Vladali?"

Given the difference in their strength and Yveltal's temperament, this possibility is extremely slim.

But at the moment, it seems there is no other possibility besides this reason.

"Don't overthink it, I'll take action."

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Leton assumed that they were reminded of the fear of being oppressed by Yveltal.

It calmly said, "I will avenge you for the grudge from two years ago."

Xia Chen was not frightened by Yveltal's appearance; he just felt that something was amiss, but he was also a little confused.

He could only nod helplessly, "Alright, we'll deal with it."

Using the flower-leaf bud as a navigation tool, Leighton quickly located Xernias's position.

The God of Life stands calmly and proudly by the lake in the heart of the forest, the cool moonlight shining on the tranquil lake surface, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Xia Chen jumped off Gu Leton and asked, "They haven't arrived yet?"

Xerneas nodded. "Almost there. I can sense that guy's presence."

Xia Chen also had some doubts about this and asked, "Is there any possibility that Yveltal... could be recruited by Team Flare?"

Xerneas paused for a moment, then said, "That guy... I wouldn't be surprised by anything he does."

Xia Chen nodded, understanding. Yveltal was a legendary elf who disrupted the evil order.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked again, "Do you think it's possible that Yveltal and Team Flare have reached some kind of cooperation agreement?"

Xerneas paused, then nodded. "It's not impossible..."

Xia Chen pressed further, "What about the motive? Did it have a motive for doing this?"

Xerneas pondered, "If Team Flare's purpose in releasing the ultimate weapon is to create mass death... I think it is."

"Just as I can draw energy from the life I create, it can also draw energy from death."

Xia Chen nodded silently.

With both motives and evidence, it seems that Yveltal, who appeared here, is indeed with Team Flare.

As it pondered, Guleton beside it slowly rose from its prone position, its sharp gaze fixed on the depths of the Twilight Forest.

"Xia Chen, it's here."

From the shadows, a group of people slowly emerged with elves, and Xia Chen was very familiar with the one in the lead.

The biggest boss in the Carlos region, the leader of Team Flare, Fladali!

Behind them were Akabane, Bara, Claire, Mamiki, and Kutheroschi, the core members of Team Flare.

Xia Chen glanced at it and didn't see Paqila, so he kept an eye on her.

…………

"Long time no see, Xia Chen."

Vladali's smile remained as bright and cheerful as ever, as if he were reuniting with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

The reality is that Team Flare's identity has been exposed, they are wanted by the League, and they have gone completely underground. Vladali's recent predicament is all thanks to Xia Chen.

It's no exaggeration to say that they have an irreconcilable feud.

When enemies meet, they should be extremely hostile.

Vladali's calm demeanor further reveals his deep shrewdness.

"What, don't you have anything to say to an old friend?"

Seeing that Xia Chen did not react, Black Heart Lion Head continued to greet him with a smile.

"What did I say? I'm advising you not to do anything stupid?"

Xia Chen scoffed, "I don't understand what's going on in your head. Would eliminating half of the world's humans and elves make the world a better place? I have nothing to say to idiots who hold that view."

Compared to Vladali, Pol Pot, who only targeted one-third of his compatriots, seemed less extreme.

Vladali's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "How can you know if something is feasible if you haven't tried it?"

He then turned to Xia Chen and advised, "Whether you are friend or foe, you are the most outstanding person I have ever met. Don't you sometimes think about changing this already terrible world?"

"Terrible?"

Xia Chen smiled meaningfully, "I think I have more right to speak on whether the world is a terrible place."

Compared to a world where war is the history of human civilization, this world with elves is practically a utopia.

and so.

"The world would be a better place if it didn't have people like you... who always want to drag human and elven societies into the mire."

Vladali finally suppressed his sickeningly fake smile.

He said in a deep voice, "Then there's nothing more to say... Yveltal."

Chapter 435 Fierce Battle! Conspiracy

As soon as Vladali finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.

A giant, scarlet elf with a Y-shaped body slowly rose from the forest into the night sky.

Its broad wings were wrapped with black veins that pulsed like breath, and the almost tangible aura of death formed a powerful and terrifying aura that blotted out the sky, enveloping the world.

Xia Chen was very familiar with the elf in front of him; it was the first legendary elf he had encountered since coming to this world, Yveltal!

Compared to its state when it had just awakened two years ago, Yveltal is now much more imposing after a full recovery.

The overwhelming aura of death instantly swallowed up all the life in the entire forest.

The flowers and plants, and all things, began to rapidly turn gray and fade in that instant.

That idiot is still as irritable as ever!

Xia Chen cursed inwardly and couldn't help but look at Xerneas standing behind him.

The Deer of Life remained calm, then suddenly burst forth with dazzling, multicolored light, standing in opposition to the persistent, oppressive aura of death.

The surrounding devastated life was miraculously revived under the infusion of this energy.

In the blink of an eye, the horrific destruction caused by Yveltal vanished without a trace.

However, Xia Chen remained vigilant. Destruction was far easier than creation. Vladali dared to come even knowing that Xia Chen was there, so he must have his reasons. Xia Chen could not be led by the nose by him.

"Guleton, go help Xerneas! Deoxys, attack Vladari and the others directly, don't hold back!"

Faced with a ruthless executioner like Vladali, Xia Chen had no intention of backing down.

Behind them, two figures, one in crimson and one in green, suddenly burst forth, charging toward Yveltal in the sky and the group of people on the ground where Vladali was located, respectively.

With a calm expression, Freyjafjalla threw out a Poké Ball and shouted, "Zetzart, block it! The rest of you, attack Xia Chen directly!"

The white light of countless Poké Balls mingled with the glow of Mega Evolution as Fladali and all the executives behind him threw out all their Pokémon, charging towards Xia Chen in a single wave.

Xia Chen paid no attention to these ordinary Pokémon whose strength was at most at the Elite Four level. His eyes were fixed on the bright yellow Pokémon in the sky with wings as flamboyant as lightning - Zapdos!

…………

This wasn't the first time Xia Chen had seen Zapdos, but that's precisely why his feelings were even more complicated.

How did this legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region end up here?

Is it the same Zapdos that Giovanni has?

If so, does it mean that the Rockets and the Flare have entered into a deeper collaboration?

Is Giovanni going to become Moriarty of the Dark World of Elves?

Or has Team Rainbow Rocket, which has gathered all the villains, already been formed?

As he watched as Deoxys's Zapdos was already charging towards Fladari's head, Xia Chen was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

But now is clearly not the time to think about these things. Xia Chen threw out the Poké Ball in his hand, and with a flash of light, Sylveon and Milotic appeared in front of him.

The keystone hanging around Xia Chen's neck shone brightly, and at the same time, Sylveon, Gardevoir, and Diancie suddenly shone with brilliant light.

Mega Evolution, Activate!

Xia Chen frowned slightly. Even with his current powerful mental strength, comparable to that of a Gym Leader-level Psychic-type Pokémon, maintaining the Mega Evolution of three Pokémon at the same time was still somewhat of a challenge.

However, at this cost, Xia Chen's combat power was also exceptionally astonishing.

After Mega Evolution, these three Pokémon can unleash attack power close to Champion level, making it easy for them to withstand the attacks of Team Cinderace's top Pokémon.
