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

However, Xia Chen was the only person who had settled on the island.

"Why didn't you just tell me to shovel snow...?"

Despite half-complaining and half-grumbling, Xia Chen still led the elves out of the house to carry out the cleaning task.

It was called a cleaning operation, but it was more like a winter tourism activity held under that name.

With the current strength of the elves, if they were to deal with it seriously, it would only take half a day, or if the two big shots, Guleton and Deoxys, were to take action, it would be a matter of minutes.

However, the nature of the situation changed when Dorombaluto hurled a massive snowball, over two meters in diameter, at Saifuho...

The two elves exchanged a knowing glance, and then the snowball fight began.

At first, only these two Pokémon were rolling snowballs and throwing them at each other. Whether it was intentional or not, a snowball that was way off-center hit Zoroark, who had transformed into a Machamp and was seriously shoveling snow.

Zoroark, revealing his true form from the gray fog, expressionlessly wiped the snow off his face, then put down the six shovels in his hands and used the method of rubbing shadow balls to gather a snowball that was not large but ridiculously heavy, giving a fierce slap to the laughing Cyrus.

A snowball without energy storage won't cause much damage, but the powerful throw still made the unsuspecting Sai Fuhao stumble.

This time, it was Dorombalut's turn to laugh from the sidelines.

Before the laughter could even echo for a few seconds, another snowball was thrown from the direction of Zoroark, heading straight for the triangular nose of its plane.

boom--

The snowball exploded, startling two baby dragons who were sleeping soundly in the cave. In a panic, they flew out of the cave entrance and, seeing that it was the other dragons throwing snowballs, happily joined in.

As a result, more and more elves were drawn into the fray.

The naturally mischievous and playful elves all abandoned their tedious snow-sweeping work and joined in the snowball fight.

In the end, even Cynthia's Pokémon were caught up in the cheerful atmosphere and were half-heartedly pulled into the battle by Dragapult.

While releasing lava and diligently clearing snow, Heatran looked at the elves making a ruckus not far away, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What are they doing?

But it looks quite interesting.

…………

"If you want to go, let's go together."

"Cynthia, who was standing behind it, suddenly said."

Sidora turned to look at this human whom she had only known for a short time but whom she trusted implicitly. She tilted her head, seemingly hesitant.

It's rare to see a steel behemoth making such a move; the contrast is rather endearing.

Xia Chen smiled, called over the Dorgon Balto who was having a great time, and gestured towards Sidorlan. The latter immediately understood and went over to Dorgon's side to chatter away.

Finally, unable to resist Dorgon's enthusiasm, Heatran reluctantly joined the melee.

Watching Seadrane mingling with the elves, Xia Chen felt relieved and looked away, tilting his head to look at Cynthia.

"Let them play here, shall we go for a walk?"

Cynthia nodded gently and smiled, "Okay."

Speaking of which, Yuanling Island has been built for a year now, and Xia Chen hasn't taken Xirona to explore it properly yet. Before, it was because he didn't have time, and the snow was too heavy the other day, making it inconvenient. Today, he finally managed to squeeze out this opportunity.

The snow-covered Yuanling Island was a vast expanse under the bright sunshine. Many wild elves took advantage of the pause in the snowfall to come out in search of food, adding a touch of vitality to the silent snowfield.

Although there are many facilities on Yuanling Island that serve wild elves, where they can receive plenty of food for free, many wild elves choose not to accept handouts and instead fend for themselves.

There aren't many spirited Pokémon, but their strength ranks among the top of the island's Pokémon, which may be related to the fact that they are strong.

However, such Pokémon are ultimately a minority. "Lazy Dog" type Pokémon are the mainstream. In fact, many little guys who know Xia Chen would excitedly run over to him and ask for food after seeing him.

Xia Chen was naturally generous and took out many energy cubes from his storage sphere to distribute to them.

Seeing this, Cynthia suddenly said, "You're making these wild elves lazy."

Xia Chen, who was feeding the elf, did not deny it, and said frankly, "Maybe, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Cynthia frowned slightly. "Slothful elves have weak wills; how can they fight?"

"Then it would be great to live here forever."

Xia Chen said matter-of-factly, "As long as we're on this island, I'll keep them."

He looked up at Cynthia and said, "I know what you mean, but I think elves can also have their own choices. They weren't born to fight for humans. What's wrong with an elf who doesn't like fighting being a useless person?"

"Humans used the power of the elves to rapidly develop civilization and greatly increase productivity, but what they gave back to the elves was negligible."

"Since entering modern society, the consensus of [humans and spirits living in harmony] seems to have taken root in people's hearts, but how many people treat it as just a slogan instead of putting it into practice?"

"I just want to be nicer to some elves within my power."

Cynthia stared blankly at Xia Chen, then chuckled wryly, "Perhaps you are right."

At this moment.

In a secluded spot above Yuanling Island, a pale purple humanoid elf floated silently, gazing down with a thoughtful expression.

…………

The two wandered aimlessly in the snow for a long time, and by the time they returned to the distance, it was almost dark.

Looking at the elves who had been playing all this time without showing any signs of fatigue, Xia Chen's eyelids twitched slightly.

He took a deep breath and said in a feignedly angry voice, "Excuse me, does anyone remember why we came out here?"

"Ruto—(Here for a snowball fight!)"

The brainless Dorambaruto answered matter-of-factly.

Then she spun a snowball and threw it at Xia Chen, casually inviting him, "Ruto~ (I didn't see you just now, come and play with me~)"

Xia Chen wiped the snow off his face, laughing and crying at the same time, "Alright, stop playing around and hurry up and clear the snow. After we're done, we'll go back for dinner."

Only after being reminded did the elves realize that the sky was terribly gloomy, and that they had spent the whole afternoon playing around without doing any snow removal work.

Only then did I hurriedly put away my playful thoughts and get to work.

Xia Chen waved his hand and smiled, "I'll go back and cook first. Remember to come back for dinner when you're done."

Doronbalut straightened up and solemnly assured them, "Luto! (Understood, I will keep a close eye on them!)"

Xia Chen rolled her eyes. "Come on, just don't cause trouble."

He then looked at the other elves and instructed them, "Keep a close eye on him. If he dares to slack off on the fish for even a moment, make him eat only vegetables later."

The wailing of Dorambaruto and the cheers of the other elves suddenly echoed across the snow.

In a warm and cheerful atmosphere, Xia Chen and Xilona slowly walked home.

In the sky, the mysterious elf with the purple figure hesitated for a moment before following behind.

Chapter 478 Mewtwo: Let's battle!

That night.

"What? The aura of a strange legendary elf has appeared on Yuanling Island?"

As soon as Xia Chen got home, he learned some surprising news from Gu Leton.

He thought for a moment, then pressed on, "What attribute? Could it be the culprit behind the recent severe cold?"

Xia Chen didn't sound too worried. Including the traitor Zapdos, there were five legendary Pokémon on Yuanling Island.

Unless Arceus himself descends, or some outrageous legendary Pokémon like Gigantamax Infinity or Necrozma appears, there's nothing to worry about.

So Leighton lay on the hot floor, tilted his head back and yawned, his pink tongue trembling slightly in the air, looking very relaxed.

"It's a Psychic-type Pokémon, and its strength is somewhere between Moltres and Deoxys."

If it's not an Ice-type Pokémon... then it can't be the one causing the weather anomaly.

Xia Chen first breathed a sigh of relief, and then a slight thought crossed his mind.

Legendary spirits that meet both of these conditions...

"Could it be Mewtwo?"

Xia Chen guessed.

"what--"

So Leighton let out a long yawn, then buried his head back in the wooden plank, saying nonchalantly, "Perhaps."

Although it had seen Mewtwo before, the latter's strength was not enough for it to take seriously, so it did not recognize it at first.

Cynthia, however, was struck by the name. "Is it the legendary Pokémon created by Team Rocket using the Mew Gene?"

Xia Chen said cautiously, "Creation is inaccurate. The technology is similar to cloning, just like reviving an ancient elf with ancient armor through fossils."

He recalled, "I invited it to Yuanling Island when we parted last time, and I didn't expect it to actually come."

After briefly explaining Mewtwo's origins, Xia Chen looked at Gu Leton and asked, "Could we call it down for a chat? Since it's here, it shouldn't have any ill intentions, right?"

So Leighton changed his position and lay on his side on the ground, revealing the huge tire on his chest and abdomen and the fine white scales.

"Let Deoxys handle this. Those two Psychic-type Pokémon should have more in common."

Xia Chen silently complained, "Okay, I got it. Stop making excuses for your laziness."

As he was about to go to the rooftop to call Deoxys, a strong surge of supernatural energy suddenly flashed through the air.

Xia Chen looked up as if sensing something. Outside the window, Mewtwo was floating quietly in mid-air, with a bright moon hanging in the sky behind it, giving it a rather holy appearance.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Welcome to Yuanling Island, Mewtwo."

…………

Mewtwo's sudden visit made tonight's dinner atmosphere a bit strange.

Unlike the somewhat dull and simple-minded Sidolann, this guy seemed to be born with a cold aura, able to lower the surrounding temperature by ten or eight degrees. Only Xia Chen, sitting next to him, could talk to him calmly.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable affinity for Mewtwo.

So where have you been all this time?

During the meal, Xia Chen asked curiously.

"walk around."
