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

As for the ecology of this area, there's nothing that can be done about it.

However, on another level, it can also serve as a warning, just like the original site of Chernobyl.

Perhaps this place will become a unique tourist attraction in the Carlos region in the future.

…………

at the same time.

Miare City.

Having finally quelled the unrest, the high-ranking members of the Carlos Alliance, through Officer Jenny on the front lines, witnessed a scene around the Sunset Forest that defied description, and remained silent.

Karune, who always presented an elegant image, was particularly angry at this moment. She pulled over Pachira, who had gone from being one of the Four Heavenly Kings to a suspect, and questioned, "Is this what you wanted to see? Is this the wonderful world you wanted to create?"

Paqira was pale, her lips moving but she couldn't speak.

Although she was a high-ranking member of Team Flare, she was well aware of the consequences of activating the final weapon, but she still couldn't remain indifferent when this scene was laid bare before her.

Some things are just a sentence when spoken, but you only understand their meaning when they actually happen.

"The area affected by this disaster spans thousands of square kilometers in the suburbs of White Sand City and Hundred City, with an estimated death toll of nearly 10,000 and more than 100,000 Pokémon killed or injured!"

The staff responsible for statistics read out the casualty figures with heavy hearts.

Karuni's delicate face was filled with anger.

"Ten thousand people! Do you think that's just a number? In reality, someone died ten thousand times!"

Pachira remained silent, her expressionless face concealing an unknown range of emotions.

This figure circulated only among the top echelons of the Carlos Alliance, and the rest of the world, concerned about the incident, knew nothing about it, not even the source of the disaster.

We can only speculate based on the footage shown by the camera.

"I just saw several legendary Pokémon: Yveltal, Guleton, Xerneas, Zapdos... It must have been Yveltal who did it?"

"Impossible! Even legendary Pokémon, can their moves really be this powerful?"

"I don't think so either. I didn't see Yveltal have such terrifying destructive power when he awakened two years ago!"

"I don't know how the disaster happened, but I know it's related to Xia Chen... Is this guy a jinx?"

"Hey, that's such a wishful thinking, and it's hurtful too! If Xia Chen weren't here, the destruction would only be greater!"

"Just kidding... But looking at it this way, maybe the culprit is Team Flare, who caused quite a stir in the Carlos region a while ago?"

"Possibly. By the way, what is the Alliance for? Xia Chen uncovered such a huge pest, and the Alliance can't even eradicate him?"

"Sigh... if the alliance were even slightly useful, it wouldn't be completely useless..."

"I live in Baitan City, and all I can say is that the situation there was terrifying... I almost couldn't type anymore."

"Stop talking, look at the screen!"

The scene on the screen was still one of devastation, yet in the very center of the ruins, glimmers of green light shone like a sea of ​​stars.

That is the light of life!

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Chapter 439 Every day spent with them is immortality

Mist Forest.

A scroll, as if a miracle had occurred, slowly unfolded amidst the ruins.

The scattered, tender green energy particles merged together, resembling a galaxy reflected in the sky.

Plants and trees grow, all things revive, and everything that had lost its vitality in the cataclysmic energy bombardment of the ultimate weapon has miraculously come back to life in this ocean of life energy.

The wild elves and humans, reborn, looked around in bewilderment, most of them unaware of what had happened before.

And the people in front of the screen—League leaders, Elite Four members, ordinary trainers, and countless ordinary people.

Regardless of their status or strength, at this moment, they were all utterly shocked by this scene.

The desolate world was reborn. If one did not witness this event firsthand, it would only be considered a laughable rambling.

But right now, it has actually happened.

Such unreasonable power could probably only be achieved by legendary elves.

The people watching this scene were thrilled, and everyone expressed their thoughts with great excitement.

"My God! Arceus has protected Carlos! The destroyed forest has been restored, it's simply a miracle!"

"Shouldn't we thank Xerneas? Be careful, the god of life might quit later."

"No matter what, the bad guys have been brought to justice and the wounds have been healed. There couldn't be a better ending than this, could there?"

"I'd like to know if anyone who has been brought back to life has shared their thoughts. I really want to know where people go after they die, and whether they have their own consciousness?"

"My home is in a small town near Baitan City. I didn't die, but my hand was blown off. I'm typing with my newly grown girlfriend now, and her skin feels so soft."

"For a moment, I couldn't tell if this was real or a joke..."

"Speaking of which, Yveltal has already inflicted two catastrophic damages on Carlos. How can humanity possibly contend with such a legendary elf..."

"Who knows? Fortunately, Xerneas is friendly to humans."

…………

Not only those who were paying attention to this matter, but also Xia Chen and the elves who witnessed it all were deeply moved.

Destroying something is extremely easy; even a newborn Pidgey can easily conquer a Caterpie, which is at the bottom of the Pokémon food chain.

But the process of creating life is incredibly difficult.

In order to revive his Flower Leaf, AZ created the ultimate weapon, sacrificing countless elves, and this was just a single elf.

The immense power of Xerneas and Zygarde brought new life to thousands of square kilometers of desolate land!

Diancie stared intently at the scene before her, a sudden realization dawning on her, as if she had gained a new understanding of the [Creation of Holy Diamonds] that had puzzled her for so long.

Hua Yedi looked at the ultimate weapon in the giant crater, which had been blown so black that its original form was no longer recognizable, and frowned slightly, saying, "This thing... doesn't seem to be completely destroyed."

Xia Chen was surprised. Even an explosion of this magnitude couldn't destroy it? What material is this thing made of?

No, that's not the point.

The key question should be how to deal with this Pandora's box.

This thing is undoubtedly a hot potato. If the news that it still exists gets out, who knows what kind of storm it will cause.

After all, immortality is an irresistible temptation for most people in this world.

"Does 'not damaged' mean it's still usable?"

Xia Chen asked.

Hua Yedi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Chen, asking thoughtfully, "You also want to use the power of the ultimate weapon... to gain immortality?"

This question drew the attention of all the elves to Xia Chen, their expressions and emotions varying as they awaited his answer.

Xia Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "What if my answer is yes?"

Hua Yedi thought for a moment and replied, "Of course I respect it. It's your choice, as long as you don't harm other living beings."

Although she pretended to be magnanimous, something hidden deep in Hua Yedi's eyes revealed that she didn't seem to want Xia Chen to make this choice.

Xia Chen couldn't help but chuckle and patted her head. "Just teasing you. Of course I didn't have that thought. If I did, I would have asked Xerneas to help me a long time ago. Its natural life energy is even more pure and harmless."

The teased Flower Leafy tilted her head to avoid Xia Chen's head pat, and she grumbled, "Lord Xernias won't bless you."

Xia Chen laughed and said, "How could that be? With my relationship with your Lord Xerneas, getting his help is just a matter of a word."

…………

"Oh? How come I didn't know about this?"

Xernias, having finished his environmental restoration work at some point, came over and chimed in.

Although the faint iridescent light emanating from its antlers indicated that it was not in good condition, its tone still suggested that Lord Xernias was in a rather pleasant mood.

Xia Chen was surprised, "Oh, you didn't know that? I'm sorry, I was just being presumptuous."

Xerneas, rarely joking, said, "Give it a try. How will you know if you don't try?"

Seeing that it was about to get serious, Xia Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I was just joking."

He looked up and around. Apart from the area at the epicenter of the explosion, which was about the size of several arenas and still bore traces of the aftermath of the catastrophe, the rest of the area had already recovered and was full of life.

Xia Chen looked at Xerneas and Zygarde, once again marveling at the immense power of the two legendary elves, "This is truly a miracle of life, thank you!"

Xernias said meaningfully, "We should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to handle the disaster if it had spread further."

Zygard was very unhappy with Xia Chen's "anthropocentric" attitude. "You think we're doing this just because of you humans? Don't flatter yourself. These elves, and even the entire ecosystem, are what I want to save."

Xia Chen understood that this ecological guardian of Carlos was quite dissatisfied with the various behaviors of mankind since its rise. He did not argue, but simply smiled and said, "You are right. It is we humans who have benefited."

Zygard snorted and said, "Alright, mission accomplished, I'm going back now."

As it spoke, the green sprite, resembling a giant cobra, split into a core and countless cells, disappearing into the newly formed forest.

Xia Chen, who was about to consult it on how to deal with the ultimate weapon, had no choice but to turn to Xerneas and ask the question.

The God of Life was unconcerned about this issue, simply stating, "That's your business."

It then said, "I've used up too much energy just now, and I'm about to fall into a deep sleep. Before I do, please accept my final thanks..."

Xia Chen didn't pretend to refuse. He and the elves had sacrificed so much for the peace of Carlos, and he accepted Xernias's reward without any burden.

He nodded readily. "In that case, thank you very much, Lord Xernias."

Xerneas nodded slightly, and a divine aura emanated from its body. Xia Chen felt a strange warmth envelop him, and then he completely lost consciousness.

…………

When I woke up again, all I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

Xia Chen was stunned for two or three seconds, and then remembered the series of events that happened before he lost consciousness.

The last memory was of Xerneas saying he would reward himself, so... he had just passed out?

This conjecture seemed a bit too disrespectful to the God of Life, so Xia Chen shook his head and quickly put the thought out of his mind.
