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

Come on, you have the melody and the imagery in your head, but how to translate them into reality is the real problem.

Write a novel?

Forget it, it's too time-consuming and laborious, and even if I write it, there's no guarantee anyone will read it.

Xia Chen racked his brains without success, and then, in despair, opened the Psyduck encyclopedia and searched for "[how to make money quickly]".

The first item is an advertisement for the game "Greedy Legend".

The second point is about short video ads.

The third point is advertisements for mobile phone part-time jobs.

Forget it, it's definitely unreliable.

Xia Shen, like Ge You, slumped down on the bed behind the computer desk, becoming a salted fish who had lost all his dreams.

Ibrahimovic stared at the still-lit computer screen, lost in thought.

In my past life, when I went on adventures with Xia Chen, we found many places where good things were hidden. What was the place with the least danger and closest to home?

…………

The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless, still a great day for training.

A new day, a new beginning. Xia Chen opened his eyes, put aside the emo mood from last night, and stretched in front of the window.

The sound of the television came from the living room, which Xia Chen was not surprised by.

Clearly, it wasn't because the TV was left on last night, nor was it because a thief broke into the house; it was because Ibrahimovic turned it on.

I don't know why, but little Ibuki has recently developed a habit of watching the news every morning, and she watches it with great concentration every time I go out, as if she can really understand it.

Xia Chen ignored her. Although watching the news was a bit strange, it was still better than being addicted to games or smoking burnt catnip, right?

While Ibu watched TV in the living room, Xia Chen went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Today's dish is quite simple; it's a sandwich that combines meat, eggs, and nuts.

Of course, the Moo Moo milk with honey and energy cubes prepared for Eevee are also essential.

The breakfast area lacked the lively atmosphere of a typical breakfast, and Xia Chen could vaguely hear the news coming from the living room.

"The film 'Xerneas,' starring Karuno, grossed over 100 million euros worldwide on its opening day. This film is based on the Fairy Aura incident that occurred in the Carlos region last year."

"[The difficulty of gym exams] has become a hot topic recently, with many trainers complaining that the difficulty of gym exams in the Eastern Region is getting harder every year. However, the Flyfire Gym Leader of Funan City said that trainers from the Eastern Region are too uncompetitive in the World Championships."

"Let's take another look at some local news. It's August, and the annual pear-picking festival at Lingmiao Mountain has begun. We welcome all citizens to come and enjoy the festival. This year, there are many more fun and interesting activities to come."

…………

"Buy~"

Xia Chen was listening to the news with his attention when Ibu's soft, sweet voice came into his ears again.

Looking down, Ibrahimovic was pulling on his trouser leg, staring at him with his big, bright eyes.

"Speak, what do you want?"

After spending half a month together, Xia Chen had gained a basic understanding of Eevee. He could tell from Eevee's expression and tone that Eevee needed something from him.

"Bu Yi——"

Ibu grabbed Xia Chen's trouser leg and pulled him outside, calling out towards the television.

The TV was still advertising the pear-picking festival, and Xia Chen suddenly realized, "You want to go to that pear-picking festival?"

"Buee!" Little Eevee nodded happily, looking at Xia Chen expectantly.

Xia Chen thought about it carefully and realized that after finding Eevee, he had only taken her to the Battle Park and hadn't really taken her out to play much.

The intensity of the training is comparable to the 996 work schedule of my previous life. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll end up hanging from a street lamp sooner or later.

Furthermore, as the ancients said, learning should be combined with entertainment, and work and rest should be balanced; proper relaxation is quite necessary.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen no longer hesitated and nodded decisively, "Okay, I'll buy the tickets online after we finish eating."

"Buy~"

Seeing the little guy cheering and jumping for joy, Xia Chen smiled slightly.

But what he didn't notice was that after turning around, Ibrahimovic had a triumphant smile on his face.

…………

Xia Chen originally wanted to invite Mingyi and Tengteng She to go together, but unfortunately, Mingyi's busy father had disappeared again, leaving Mingyi, the barefoot doctor, to look after the clinic.

In the end, Xia Chen only bought tickets for himself and Eevee, one Pokémon each, for 1,000 yuan.

There's a reason why they're so expensive. The "pears" at this pear-picking festival include not only the more common Phoenix Pear, but also the more potent Golden Phoenix Pear, and the extremely rare Western Pear.

If you're lucky enough to pick one, you'll immediately recoup the cost of the ticket.

However, Xia Chen didn't think that much about it. This was a super-large event for the entire city and even the surrounding urban areas, and there were countless outstanding Pokémon.

It can go to the heavens, descend to the earth, and swim in any water.

For me and Ibrahimovic, this novice duo, all we had to do was enjoy the natural scenery.

It's nice to occasionally pick a few Phoenix Berries; they can be made into Energy Cubes to improve a Pokémon's stamina, which can help nourish Eevee's body.

The pear picking festival lasts for a week, and half of the event has already passed. Only tickets for the last day are still on sale.

Well, although Xia Chen didn't have any illusions about himself and Ibu making a fortune by getting their ticket money back from the pear berries, he never expected to be so miserable as to only be able to pick what others had left over.

There probably won't even be many pineapple fruits left.

(There will be another update tonight.)

Good news, this book has been tentatively promoted online. Bad news, compared to other books published around the same time, this book was released later and has fewer words, putting it at a slight disadvantage in the competition. There's nothing we can do but make up for it by updating more frequently.

So starting these next couple of days, in addition to the two regular updates, I'll be adding extra updates irregularly. Since the author is showing so much sincerity, could you please vote for me? Even just reading this post if you don't have votes would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Chapter 18 Another Evolutionary Condition for Milotic

Since we're going out to have fun, we should definitely do some thorough preparations.

In the days leading up to the trip, Xia Chen worked very hard on making videos, and Ibrahimovic trained even harder than usual to make up for the guilt of relaxing for a day.

On their first trip together, Xia Chen even brought a camera and strapped one to Ibrahimovic's head.

This is a new field he is preparing to explore, inspired by some first-person perspective videos of cats and dogs from his previous life. Such videos have not yet appeared in this world.

Xia Chen didn't expect to become a sensation with this series, but even a small amount of money is still money, and he has no right to complain about how much money he has now.

Under the scorching sun, Xia Chen put on a sun hat and put sunglasses on Eevee. The two of them boarded the subway and set off for Lingmiao Mountain.

Lingmiao Mountain is an island in the middle of a lake, located in the eastern suburbs of Zhijiang City, in Yunze Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Donghuang area.

Due to factors such as climate and soil, Lingmiao Mountain has abundant fruit resources, especially those pears, which are renowned as high-quality fruits.

Apart from the area planted with fruit trees, the other half of Lingmiao Mountain is reserved for wild elves, adhering to the global consensus that humans and elves should live in harmony.

Therefore, the well-preserved natural ecology of Lingmiao Mountain and the surrounding Yunze waters have always made it a popular spot for trainers in Zhijiang City to catch Pokémon.

Due to his tight budget, Xia Chen has no immediate plans to raise a second Pokémon.

The purpose of this trip is simple: to have fun.

After taking the subway to its final stop, which was still some distance from Lingmiao Mountain, Xia Chen and Yibu switched to taking a bus.

Enjoying the vast waters of Yunze Lake along the way, the journey wasn't boring at all.

…………

"Mommy, look! It's a Gyarados! It's huge!"

In the seat in front of Xia Chen, a little boy of about six or seven years old had his face pressed against the bus window, staring wide-eyed at the Gyarados that suddenly leaped out of the water.

It seems she went to the pear-picking festival at Lingmiao Mountain just like Xia Chen.

"That's right. Don't let its current size fool you; before it evolved, it was only the size of your face. Isn't the evolution of Pokémon amazing?"

The young woman gently patted her son's head and explained in detail.

"I know, it's that silly-looking Magikarp! But why is Gyarados a Flying-type Pokémon instead of a Dragon-type?"

The curious child pressed for more questions.

But how could a young woman know the answer to this century-old problem that even professional scholars can't figure out? The young mother gave an awkward laugh, not knowing how to answer.

Suddenly, a tall, graceful woman leaped up from the lake, attracting the children's attention.

"Wow, Mommy, what kind of fairy is that? It's so pretty!"

The young woman breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Oh, this Pokémon is called Milotic. It's a very rare Pokémon. I didn't expect to encounter one today. Like Gyarados, it evolved from the equally unremarkable Feebas."

"However, the conditions for evolution are quite demanding, requiring extremely rare and beautiful scales."

"Ah, only beautiful scales will work? There's no other way?"

The one who said this wasn't a little kid, but Xia Chen. His expression showed a slight surprise, with a hint of excitement in it.

The young woman was always tolerant of the handsome young man. Although Xia Chen's interruption was a bit impolite, she still explained carefully.

"Yes, that's the only way. Feebas is indeed quite rare, and I only remembered it because I work in the Pokémon breeding industry."

The young woman puffed out her chest slightly, smiled rather smugly, and thought to herself that this young man was really good; he had given her a stage to perform on in front of the children.

The little one obligingly clapped, exclaiming, "Wow, Mommy's amazing!"

Xia Chen had no time to think about these things. After politely thanking him, he picked up his phone with slightly trembling hands.

If this news is true, then there's another low-cost way to research Pokémon that I can explore!

…………

Although he had been in this world for more than half a year, he still couldn't be completely sure how different this world was from the Pokémon world that Xia Chen was familiar with.

The world is so big, it's normal for there to be some information gaps.

When Xia Chen was researching online, he found that the evolutionary chain from Feebas to Milotic was already complete, so he thought there was nothing more to explore.

Moreover, because Milotic is a very rare Pokémon, Xia Chen never came into contact with it again.

Unexpectedly, there's such a place that can be explored.
