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

Taking a deep breath, Hua Yedi said, "I'm ready."

Her response was from Dorombalutto, "Ruto! (Go for it!)"

Then, two small missile-like sprites shot out from the hole above the dragon's head, and Flower Leaf rushed to the launcher at the top of the ultimate weapon in the form of a [Dragon Arrow].

The Flower of Eternity in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and countless dreamlike pink and purple energy particles emanated from it, dispelling the dangerous aura that lingered around the ultimate weapon in the deep night.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Standing on the ground, Flareon and its teammates, along with Yveltal and Zapdos trapped within the barrier, all stared in astonishment and fear at the small Pokémon that possessed immense power within it.

Then, only a huge beam of light remained in their pupils.

boom--

An indescribable, enormous sound resounded through the heavens.

A mushroom cloud nearly a thousand meters high rose into the sky, illuminating the entire Mu Ri Forest and even the night sky above the surrounding Bai Tan City and Bai Ke City.

Countless elves and city dwellers were awakened by the sound and looked up through their windows at the terrifying phenomenon in the distant sky.

Fortunately, the energy surge from the explosion stopped abruptly after spreading for hundreds of kilometers, without affecting the main urban areas of the two cities.

But the elves and humans who lived around the Duskwood Forest suffered.

Countless lives perished in their sleep in this catastrophe.

Tonight, no one will sleep.

…………

The Twilight Forest disappeared; to be precise, it became a large crater.

Barren land, a vast, ravaged pit.

Even if it wasn't detonated through normal means, and even if the energy storage time didn't reach three minutes, the explosion caused by the weapon still completely destroyed the entire Mu Ri Forest.

In the midst of the catastrophe, only a few legendary elves, as well as Xia Chen and Xianbu, who were under Xerneas's protection, survived.

Vladari and the Flame Corps officers died in the explosion, and Yveltal did not choose to protect them.

Why would the evil and ruthless Yveltal care about the lives of a few humans who have already lost their value?

With the final weapon destroyed, Vladali's plan to wipe out half of Carlos's population was thwarted, and it immediately chose to flee.

Unfortunately, when it tried to break through the aurora barrier, it was stopped by Gullington with a full-power ram.

With the ultimate weapon no longer hindered from absorbing energy, Leton had no more reservations. It was determined to teach this arrogant and lawless native legendary elf of Carlos a lesson.

Whether it was a promise to help Xia Chen get revenge, or it was out of her own volition.

Having spent too much time with people like Xia Chen, who were in a neutral and benevolent camp, it developed a deep-seated aversion to chaotic and evil creatures like Yveltal.

Deochis naturally stood on Xia Chen and Gu Leton's side, firmly securing the aurora barrier to prevent the guy from escaping.

As for Zapdos, this outside helper that Vladali brought in naturally couldn't escape a good beating either.

Knowing that its strength was the weakest among the four legendary Pokémon, and also disliking Yveltal, and knowing that Xia Chen would ultimately do nothing to it, the bird decisively chose to cover its head with its wings and obediently take the beating, waiting for them to vent their anger before fleeing back to Kanto.

Isolated and helpless, Yveltal had to shoulder the burden of the two legendary elves alone... no, even Flowerleaf got involved.

In short, under the siege of the three legendary spirits, Yveltal could only let out a helpless roar of rage.

Then he continued to get beaten up.

Xia Chen ignored the already decided battle in the sky. He looked around and saw nothing but devastation.

A sense of desolation inevitably welled up in my heart.

It's hard to imagine how heartbroken he would be if this were Zhijiang, if his Yuanling Island had become like this.

Judging from their own experience, the people of Carlos will surely feel the same way when they see this scene tomorrow morning, right?

Not to mention the countless elves and humans who perished in this catastrophe.

In fact, even without tomorrow, the situation here has already been presented to all the people of Carlos, and even the world, through the belated arrival of Ms. Jenny and the reporters.

For the first time, the camera didn't focus on the legendary Pokémon that were having a great fight.

Instead, they slowly advanced, filming the devastated, barren ground.

Without lengthy introductions, silence speaks louder than words at this moment.

…………

"Lord Xerneas, is there a way?"

Xia Chen turned to look at the god of life who was protecting Carlos.

Two years ago, the Enchanted Forest, which was destroyed due to Yveltal's awakening, was also restored by Xerneas.

But in terms of both scale and extent, the consequences of this destruction are many times greater than the last one.

Even legendary Pokémon have their limits, so Xia Chen didn't know if Xerneas could restore the ecosystem and even life to its original state like it did last time.

The divine deer pondered for a moment and said, "If it's just me, it's not enough; I also need its assistance."

Xia Chen knew who "it" Xerneas was referring to—it was naturally the guardian of the Carlos region's ecosystem, the mediator between the X and Y gods, a bug, a dog, a snake, and also that great one from Gundam—

"Kygerd?"

Xerneas was surprised. "You actually knew?"

Xia Chen thought to himself, "Do you think I don't know? At least tell me its name!"

"So where is Zygarde?"

Xia Chen asked directly.

Xernias did not answer directly, but instead gazed into the distance.

"I think it should be here soon."

Xia Chen understood.

Legend has it that Zygarde in its 50% form lives deep within the caves, monitoring Carlos's ecosystem for any abnormalities and serving as its guardian.

It will constantly monitor the actions of those who disrupt the ecosystem, and if the ecosystem of the Carlos region collapses, Zygarde will appear, unleash its hidden power, and mercilessly annihilate all adversaries.

Of course, a 50% cobra-like form is not the limit for Zygarde.

When necessary, Zygarde will deploy in 100% Gundam form.

If the legend is true, such widespread environmental destruction should attract the attention of Zygarde, who is secretly observing.

Clearly, the legend is true.

Just as Xia Chen and Xerneas were talking, suddenly, many tiny, light green insects appeared out of nowhere on the ground around them—

Without even a moment's mourning for Yveltal's defeat, the one who rushed to the battlefield was Zygarde in his cellular form.

One of the more unique ones has a red "birthmark" on its body, which is the Zygarde Core with independent consciousness.

It can summon cells to form 10% or even 50% of the form of a Zygarde. To reach 100%, it requires the convergence of both red and blue cores.

There's only one Zygarde core right now, but that's enough.

The core and cells quickly coalesced before Xia Chen's eyes into a 50% form, resembling a cobra, called Zygarde.

It's hard to imagine that such an appearance makes it a Pokémon with both Earth and Dragon attributes.

The members of the "Earth Dragon Family" are truly bizarre—

Sharks that have crawled onto land, dragonflies that evolved from ants, and Zygarde in front of you that seems to have nothing to do with dragons at all.

It really comes true to that joke: the Garchomp type Pokémon is just for fun, for a real Garchomp, you have to look to my Excadrill.

…………

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Chen looked at Zygarde, who had already completed his fusion.

This Carlos ecological guardian seemed quite approachable; the two baby dragons flew around him without him reacting much.

After staring at Xia Chen for a while, Zygarde suddenly asked, "So... what exactly happened here just now?"

Xia Chen: "......"

So this Carlos the Third God was also a fool.

Fortunately, they didn't immediately portray themselves as bad people who damage the environment.

Xia Chen quickly recounted the whole story to Zigeld.

"I see..."

The lawful good Xerneas was standing right behind him, and Zygarde did not question the truthfulness of Xia Chen's words.

It solemnly said, "Thank you for your contribution to Carlos!"

"Mmm..."

Having seen many legendary elves, Zygarde's words did not excite Xia Chen in the slightest.

He simply asked, "In any case, you must have a way to salvage this situation, right?"

As far as I remember, it was Zygarde who ultimately saved Lumiose City in the anime.

Kidd nodded without hesitation. "Of course, it's my duty."

Xia Chen couldn't help but ask, "Can such a large forest and all the creatures within it be resurrected?"

"If Xerneas were here, there shouldn't be any problem, but there's nothing we can do about the epicenter of the explosion."

Kidd was a little disappointed.

Everything here has turned to ash; there's no way to restore it.

Xia Chen was utterly shocked. Mass resurrection... it really was possible.

Okay, it's very unscientific, but it's very Pokémon-like.

As for the core of the explosion...

"It's alright, the people here don't need to be resurrected."

Xia Chen said.

It would be best if an extreme and biased guy like Vladali died; falling into the hands of the Carlos Alliance might only result in a life sentence.
