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

Xia Chen's mind gradually began to stir.

In the game, there are two conditions for Feebas to evolve into Milotic: one is to use the item Beautiful Scale, and the other is to increase Feebas's Beauty stat.

The concept of beauty doesn't exist in this world, so naturally no one has figured out a second method of Milotic evolution.

So, can I give it a try?

Xia Chen knew that developing an energy cube to enhance beauty was no easy task, but that was precisely why the benefits of doing so would be so great!

Imagine the uproar when people learn that Feebas can evolve into Milotic without needing beautiful scales worth millions.

At that time, having monopolized the energy cubes that can enhance beauty, will you still need to worry about not having enough money to raise elves?

At that time, I'll raise a whole bunch of adorable elves, and hug a different one every day.

…………

"Buy?"

Ibrahimovic tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Xia Chen was giving a perverted smile to his phone. Was he thinking about something strange again?

"Ibu, what do you think about us getting a Feebas?"

Xia Chen's question startled Ibu: "Ugly Fish?"

I never heard my trainer have this idea in my previous life.

Which butterfly is flapping its wings?

However, as a reborn being, Ibu felt obligated to put the timeline back on track.

"Bu-i? (Do you have money to buy Ugly Fish? Do you have money to buy Beautiful Scales?)"

Although Xia Chen couldn't understand Elvish, he could read the doubt in Eevee's eyes.

He smiled mysteriously, thinking to himself, "What does a little Eevee like you know?"

"Why not give it a try? What if you're lucky and find it?"

Ibrahimovic's eyes instantly turned to worry.

"Buyi? (Did the high temperature today damage the trainer's brain?)"

"Alright, don't worry, I have a brilliant plan. Anyway, do you agree or not?"

Xia Chen patted Ibu's head and asked with a smile.

He showed full respect for his starter Pokémon, but he would still consult Eevee before catching any subsequent Pokémon.

Of course, it would be best if she agreed, but if she doesn't, I'll find a way to get her to agree!

A trainer of your stature, can't even convince a little Eevee?

Ibrahimovic didn't give Xia Chen a chance to showcase his eloquence, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

Joking aside, having been with Xia Chen for ten years, she naturally knew that Xia Chen had some unusual ideas, including his own evolution.

The same applies to Milotic.

As long as she maintains her position as the leader of her team, that's enough. After being reborn, it would be too embarrassing if she didn't even have this much confidence.

……

"Final stop, Lingmiao Mountain Scenic Area. All passengers, please take your spirits and belongings with you when you disembark."

The announcement interrupted Xia Chen and Yi Bu, who were each lost in their own thoughts.

"Let's go, enjoy this holiday!"

"Buyi!"

Chapter 19 Even Growlithe shook its head after hearing this.

Although today is the last day of the pear picking festival, there are still quite a few people visiting Lingmiao Mountain.

Trainers can be seen crossing Lake Cloud from time to time in Pidgeot or other Flying-type Pokémon.

While there are restrictions on Phantoms flying with passengers in urban areas, this doesn't apply to suburban areas.

Xia Chen looked enviously at the dashing trainers, then glanced down at Eevee and muttered to himself.

"I wonder if there's an evolved form like Flying Eevee."

"Buy?"

Eevee scratched its head with its little toes, thinking to itself that it would be a long time before there was any hope of a breakthrough after the Taijing energy erupted.

Putting aside his wild fantasies, Xia Chen handed the tickets to the gatekeeper, Mr. Mime, and led Eevee to the Lingmiao Mountain Scenic Area.

Although Lingmiao Mountain is just a mountain on an island in the middle of a lake, it covers a large area and has the highest altitude in Zhijiang, a city in southern China.

Although it's only a little over 500 meters

But the mild climate makes this land very pleasant, and also suitable for elves.

Xia Chen, Eevee, and the other trainers and Pokémon followed behind the staff of the Pear Picking Festival, listening attentively to the rules of the event.

"People are free to pick the fruit from the trees in the scenic area. If you don't want to take the fruit back with you, you can sell it to us."

Xia Chen was speechless. I have a reasonable suspicion that you guys just came up with this activity because you were too lazy to pick the fruit yourselves.

With a ticket price of 1,000 yuan, you won't even break even if you don't pick any pears.

And how could they not know where the pears are in other people's scenic areas, and how many there are?

In other words, you not only have to pay for the ticket, but you also have to work for them, and then you have to praise the place for being fun!

The person who came up with this idea is a marketing genius; they should just find a lamppost and hang themselves!

Xia Chen silently complained to himself, but adhering to the Donghuang people's consistent style of "since we're already here," he decided to put aside his utilitarianism and enjoy the journey.

…………

The instructor continued, "This year's pear picking festival also includes a fun treasure hunt. We've hidden some sprite items and such beforehand, so please pay close attention to any unusual spots in your surroundings!"

"Finally, there is a clear dividing line between the scenic area and the wildlife reserve. We hope everyone will cherish life. Once you cross it, the scenic area will not be responsible."

Hmm. So this is what a variety of fun activities look like?

That's so interesting!

Xia Chen turned the camera around and pointed it at a Growlithe dog that was shaking its head repeatedly, and smiled slightly.

This material is really good; it shows that this activity is so good that even a dog would shake its head.

After the staff led them to the forest entrance, they returned, and then it was time for the tourists to freely pick the fruit.

Xia Chen picked up a basket and prepared to go inside.

“Bu Yi!” Ibra grabbed Xia Chen’s trouser leg and pointed to himself.

"You want some too?"

Xia Chen found it somewhat amusing, but still took a small cloth bag that could only hold a few berries and slung it diagonally over Eevee's body.

When you're out having fun together, you should at least let Eevee feel involved.

After taking care of these things, each person and a piece of cloth entered the lush forest.

…………

Most of the trees in the forest are still ordinary trees.

Fruits contain abundant energy, therefore, fruit trees require more nutrients to grow than ordinary trees.

Therefore, even in a forest with tens of thousands of trees, the number of fruit trees is not large.

To make matters worse, the pineapple fruits on the outer perimeter were unsurprisingly picked by the previous tourists.

Xia Chen looked up and watched as a well-fed squirrel plucked the last pear fruit from the tree, and could only sigh.

"Bu Yi——"

Ibu pointed to the depths of the forest, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Without venturing into the deep forest, how can one obtain fruit from the trees?

After thinking about it, Xia Chen agreed to Ibrahimovic's suggestion.

Throughout history, it has been common for elves to harm people, but as long as one does not set foot on someone else's territory, nothing should happen.

Moreover, humans have already developed this half of the mountain quite thoroughly, so there should be no danger.

The others in the group seemed to have similar thoughts and did not linger on the outer edge of the forest. Xia Chen followed them.

Since he also wanted to film a vlog, Xia Chen didn't rush. Instead, he leisurely filmed the scenery while leading Eevee inside.

Although it is a man-made scenic area, the natural landscape is well preserved, and many gentle and friendly spirits live here.

Sometimes, the elves might get a little too affectionate.

…………

Xia Chen picked up a thieving fox that was tugging at his backpack and scolded it, "Go away, go away! Young people have hands and feet, what can't they do? Why do you have to do such petty things!"

"A fox?" The cunning fox was completely bewildered.

You humans call us thieving foxes, so you won't let me steal anything?

Stealing is something etched into my DNA.

After a stern reprimand, Xia Chen finally let go of the little fox thief who was almost completely transformed by his words.

By this time, he had gradually separated from the crowd, and there was no one else to be seen around.

Lingmiao Mountain is very large, so large that it takes a whole day to climb from the bottom to the top.

This forest is located at the foot of Lingmiao Mountain, spanning the scenic area to the south and the wild elf area to the north.

To avoid leaving empty-handed on the last day of the pear-picking festival, one undoubtedly needs to head north.

With the sun already high in the sky, Xia Chen finally found the first fruit tree that still had pears hanging on its branches.

This fruit tree is exceptionally tall; perhaps that's why it escaped the cruel fate of those who came before.

It has to be said that even though he knew this thing wasn't worth much money, Xia Chen still smiled when he saw the golden fruit on it.
