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

He noticed a bright orange-red figure rapidly passing through the sky.

On the body of that majestic and powerful Charizard, a tiny Pikachu leaped high and resolutely jumped into the lightning bolt!

The terrifying thunder instantly fell silent. To be precise, the immense and powerful electrical energy—enough to light up the night sky for an unknown period of time—was completely absorbed into Pikachu's body.

Naz was stunned.

How did this Pikachu suddenly end up here?

What exactly happened in this bizarre scene?

…………

The answers to these two questions are obvious.

Pikachu's arrival means that the situation on A-Ju's side is very bad.

The reason for this scene is Pikachu's characteristic: a lightning rod.

It can completely absorb Electric-type moves and convert them into Special Attack!

But isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

What if I summoned a Moltres instead?

Do you have a Pokémon with the [Flash Fire] ability?

Furthermore, the Lightning Rod ability does have an upper limit to the amount of energy it can absorb. Generally speaking, even if a Pokémon with the Lightning Rod ability can absorb a 100,000-volt attack from a Champion-level Pokémon, it will still suffer some damage.

Not to mention that this earth-shattering thunder came from the legendary Zapdos.

Who is this Pikachu?

The series of unexpected events left Naz completely bewildered.

The last time she suffered such a great loss was when she faced Xia Chen in Galar.

This guy may not be as strong as Xia Chen, but he's just as cunning...

Sabrina watched blankly as Pikachu, fully charged with electricity, destroyed the third sonic transmitter with a devastating bolt of lightning, already thinking about how to face Boss Giovanni's wrath when she got back.

But that's all in the future. What she needs to deal with first is Mewtwo's wrath.

boom--

Suddenly, a terrifying sound that seemed to pierce through the clouds and split rocks emanated from inside the cave, and the entire cave entrance began to tremble violently. The entire forest seemed to shake with the sound.

Then, a crimson figure flew out of the cave entrance; it was none other than the Firebird carrying Lt. Surge.

The fire-type sacred bird was no longer as majestic as before. It stared intently into the dark and deep cave with a mixture of wariness and fear, as if it were looking at some kind of monster.

Everyone knew that it was Mewtwo, now freed from restraint, about to unleash its pent-up rage!

"Naza, retreat!"

Ma Xueshi clutched his chest and shouted loudly.

Without him saying a word, Sabrina, knowing that things were beyond saving, had already recalled all her Pokémon and was sitting on Zapdos, ready to make her escape.

This was already one of the countless times Zapdos had run away this year. It numbly flapped its wings and flew upwards like lightning, soaring straight into the sky.

However, before it had flown more than a hundred meters, an invisible barrier stopped its body.

The familiar touch and scent sent a flicker of fear through Zapdos's eyes.

At this moment, it recalled the humiliation of being defeated by those two elves twice before, and the miserable state of its escape.

Zapdos immediately understood.

That man, he's here too!

Chapter 446 Hehehe, after all, I'm not some kind of devil.

"Damn it, why is this guy everywhere?!"

If Zapdos could speak, this would be the sentence it most wants to say right now.

Three times, three times in six months, each time Xia Chen thwarted their plans.

Especially this time, Zapdos clearly heard Lt. Surge and the others talking about deliberately avoiding Xia Chen, but when the operation started, they found out that the guy was still there!

This situation is the most dangerous.

In the first two attacks, at least Eterna and Yveltal were there to protect Zapdos, so Zapdos wasn't the main target.

But this time, the big boss is on the opposite side.

On the ground, Mewtwo's aura grew increasingly dangerous, while in the sky, the Aurora Barrier acted like an unbreakable cage, firmly locking Team Rocket and Zapdos within.

Given enough time, breaking through the barrier shouldn't be a problem given the attack power of the two sacred birds.

But Mewtwo wouldn't let them escape so easily.

Despite Zapdos and Moltres's best efforts to break the barrier, they were unable to do so before Mewtwo's attack arrived.

A blur rose from the ground, accompanied by two bursts of superhuman power, and came a cold-looking humanoid elf.

Its overall design is very similar to the legendary creature Mew, which possesses all the genes of an elf, except that it is larger and taller than an ordinary person, and the two tubes on its back connecting to the back of its head indicate that it is an artificial creation.

It is the legendary artificial Pokémon created using the Mew gene, Mewtwo!

Mewtwo floated silently in front of Zapdos and Moltres, its cold eyes filled with long-suppressed rage.

It slightly raised its slender arm, and countless powerful and terrifying energies surged from the tips of its three thick fingers before gathering and releasing them.

boom--

Two terrifying energy beams exploded in front of Zapdos and Moltres respectively.

In reality, Mewtwo, which was only three or four months old, was still in its growth stage and its strength was not much stronger than the two legendary birds.

At least if they joined forces, Mewtwo would definitely be no match for them.

But at this moment, Zapdos was already deeply intimidated by Deoxys and the yet-to-appear Gureton, and had no intention of fighting.

What happened next was predictable: Zapdos and Moltres put up a token resistance before surrendering.

The remaining Team Rocket forces below were also wiped out by Red and Xia Chen's Pokémon.

The battle ended quickly.

…………

"Pikachu—"

Amidst the smoke and chaos of the battlefield, a yellow-skinned mouse frolicked among the wounded elves scattered on the ground before leaping up and plunging into Xia Chen's arms.

"Long time no see, Pikachu."

Xia Chen stretched out his hands and rubbed Pikachu's soft, fluffy cheeks with a smile on his face.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu rubbed against Xia Chen's hand, and then waved to Sylveon on the ground.

Xianbu smiled sweetly and responded in a friendly manner.

She knew perfectly well what enormous energy this seemingly ordinary little guy possessed, so she naturally gave him face.

"By the way, what about Crimson?"

Just as Xia Chen asked the question, Red flew over from not far away on its Charizard, excitedly waving at Xia Chen from its back.

Xia Chen smiled and waved in response.

Charizard landed quickly, its crimson glow tinged with blood. This "Battle Man" was taller and thinner than when they met over a year ago, with brighter eyes and a vibrant, energetic appearance.

He quickly greeted Xia Chen as soon as he arrived, then ran to Snorlax and Venusaur to treat their injuries.

Seeing this, Xia Chen called on Sylveon, Gardevoir, and Diancie to help. The energy from Xerneas, the god of life, had an immediate effect, and soon the Pokémon that had been injured in the battle were full of energy again.

Red stood up and finally had a chance to talk to Xia Chen. "I didn't expect you to be here. It's good that you came, otherwise I and that Pokémon wouldn't have been able to keep Team Rocket here."

Xia Chen explained, "It was just a coincidence. I saw Team Rocket members on the street a few days ago, so I kept an eye on them and followed them here."

He then asked, "And you, how did you get involved in this?"

Red touched his nose. "I dealt with those Team Rocket guys more than a year ago... shortly after we parted ways, they were catching a legendary Pokémon in the East, the same one behind you."

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Deoxys?"

Red nodded. "Yes, I only found out later."

Deochis hurriedly asked, "Where is that one?"

Red paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know. Pikachu and I managed to rescue it, but then it left... apparently it went somewhere to recover from its injuries."

Deochis lowered his head in dejection and remained silent.

Xia Chen comforted him, "Look on the bright side, at least he didn't fall into the hands of the Rockets. Once he's recovered, you'll definitely see each other again."

Deochis nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. We have other things to do right now."

Xia Chen looked up at the sky, where Mewtwo had already flown down, each holding a sacred bird in one hand.

…………

Snapped--

That was the sound of two legendary birds being thrown to the ground. Moltres tried to get up in a disheveled state, but Mewtwo ruthlessly pressed it to the ground with its psychic power.

The Zapdos on the other side was much more sensible, lying on the ground without any dignity or face, showing no intention of resisting.

It's said that a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken, let alone a bird like Ho-Oh's Zapdos and Moltres.

"Waaah..."

They whimpered and looked at Xia Chen with resentful eyes, as if they were begging him for help.

Xia Chen had absolutely no goodwill towards these two sacred birds that were aiding and abetting the enemy, and ignored their pleas for help. Instead, he looked at Mewtwo.

Mewtwo was also looking at him.

That look wasn't one of gratitude, nor was it one of hatred; rather, it was a very strange... curiosity and doubt.
