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

Otherwise, it would be such a waste of Eevee's inexplicable sense of smell for Pokémon items!

Eevee snorted arrogantly. "With the staff's mediocre skills in hiding things, they think they can fool my Eevee's eyes?"

And this is just the appetizer, next...

The big one is coming!

Chapter 21 The Monkey Monster Attacks People (Please continue reading!)

Eevee suddenly thought of a very serious question: in his memory, there was a place where many evolution stones were hidden, in the wild Pokémon Reserve.

Given Xia Chen's low risk threshold, he probably wouldn't go inside on his own initiative. After all, in his eyes, he's still just a weak and pitiful, but very greedy Eevee.

How can I trick my timid trainer into joining?

Did they pretend to have found a magical item and run inside on their own?

I bet they'll just grab me and bring me back, saying something like "safety is more important than money."

Honestly, you're being overly cautious even though you have a Pokémon that's as strong as yourself!

Eevee, looking at the area that was almost at the boundary of the scenic area and the Pokémon Reserve, secretly hatched a mischievous plan.

"Is it about time to head back? If we go back now, we can get home around dinnertime."

Xia Chen looked up at the setting sun and muttered to himself.

All you ever think about is eating. At your age, can you even keep eating?

Have you no self-respect at all?

Ibrahimovic muttered to himself, but still obediently followed Xia Chen's steps.

Oh well, I didn't even discover that place in my past life until a year later when Xia Chen and I went there. Let's just consider it as depositing some money in the Lingmiao Mountain Bank.

Including the golden pears and a few western pears I picked, I've earned about ten thousand yuan on this trip.

Sigh, raising a trainer is really not easy.

As Ibrahimovic was tallying up his day's gains, his keen ears caught the sound of a child crying in the distance.

Has an incident occurred where a spirit attacked someone?

Although it's possible that the child is just throwing a tantrum for no reason, she doesn't dare gamble on that possibility.

After a split-second decision, Ibrahimovic turned and ran in the direction from which the sound came.

"Hey, Eevee, where are you going?"

Ibu was too fast; by the time Xia Chen reacted, she had already turned and run quite a distance.

Xia Chen could only call out to her as he chased after her.

…………

Although humans in the fairy world are incredibly strong, they are still no match for the fairies who wield magical powers.

After chasing for about three minutes, Xia Chen had already left Ibu out of sight.

But then he heard the child crying and realized why Ibu had suddenly attacked – she was going to save the child!

Then, Xia Chen heard another series of hurried footsteps behind him, and a woman's panting and anxious shouts.

"Give me back Xiaohan, and I'll give you plenty of food."

Xia Chen turned around and saw the young mother he had met on the bus on his way here.

She seemed to have been chasing for even longer, and by now her legs were trembling uncontrollably, her face was covered in tears, and her delicate makeup was ruined.

Upon seeing Xia Chen, she felt as if she had found a lifeline. She gripped his arm tightly and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Save my child, please!"

"I know, my Eevee has already gone after them. What Pokémon kidnapped your child? Do you have any Pokémon with you?"

In this emergency, Xia Chen's mind was unusually clear, and he asked the most important question succinctly.

"Yes, there are three monkey monsters. We only brought one coal turtle with us this time." The woman gasped for breath, tears streaming down her face.

Xia Chen wasn't blinded by anxiety; he took out his phone and dialed the number of the scenic area's management personnel.

The phone beeped as it connected, and Xia Chen said quickly, "A child has been kidnapped by a monkey monster. We're in the middle of the forest at the foot of the mountain, near the border. Come and rescue us immediately!"

The person on the other end of the phone replied seriously, "Received. We will immediately dispatch the nearest forest ranger to the rescue!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen left everything else behind except for her phone.

He then turned to the woman and said, "Give me the Torkoal's Poké Ball, and I'll go after it."

The woman looked at Xia Chen gratefully and stuffed a deluxe ball into his hand, saying, "Please!"

…………

Xia Chen chased after the source of the crying at a moderate speed to the north.

He knew this was a rally race, and running at full speed might cause him to fall behind in the second half. Only in this way could he conserve his energy as much as possible to catch up with them.

Fortunately, the morning runs with Ibrahimovic over the past two weeks have had a noticeable effect on my physical strength. If it were my past self, I would have been exhausted long ago.

Xia Chen didn't know how long he had been running. He only felt his heart beating faster and faster, and there was something sweet and astringent in his throat that he felt like he was about to cough it up.

But the increasingly loud cries made Xia Chen grit his teeth and persevere.

Finally, after crossing a low-lying jungle, Xia Chen saw Eevee and several monkey-like Pokémon with pig-like noses by a stream.

The little boy was surrounded by three monkey monsters, his dirty face filled with fear.

Eevee was panting heavily as she confronted the monkey monsters. Judging from the dust and wounds on her body, they must have just been through a fierce battle.

Xia Chen didn't have time to think about how Eevee, a single Pokémon, could hold off three Mankeys. The most important thing now was to rescue the little boy.

"Listen, I will give you what you want, but please don't hurt him, okay?"

Although Xia Chen wanted to tear these monkey monsters to pieces, he could only try to control his anger and communicate with them.

Ibrahimovic was clearly running out of steam, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

If the monkey monster wanted to continue running with the little boy, there was really nothing he could do about it.

And they want the only stamina-rich Coal Tortoise to catch up with them?

That might be even harder than getting Groudon to fly.

…………

"Squeak-"

In response to Xia Chen's request for negotiation, one of the monkey monsters stepped forward and stretched out its hand in his direction.

It's like saying, "Words are no proof, show me the evidence!"

Before setting off, Xia Chen, in order to lighten his load, brought nothing but his cell phone for essential communication.

What can you give a monkey? A cell phone?

Xia Chen had no choice but to hand it over.

"This is the most important thing to us humans. We feel terrible if we don't have it for even a few minutes. I'll give it to you as collateral first, and I'll exchange it for a lot of energy cubes or other food you want later, okay?"

With such a reasonable and well-founded argument, an ordinary elf would have already convinced them, but what kind of elf is Monkey Monster?

An elf with a fiery temper and almost no intelligence.

After taking the phone, they gathered around and studied it for a while, eventually reaching a consensus.

This metal shell is completely useless!

Is this human playing a trick on me?

The three monkey monsters were instantly enraged, abandoned the little boy, and surrounded Xia Chen.

Xia Chen was secretly pleased and winked at Ibu, signaling her to quickly take the little boy away.

But Eevee didn't know that Xia Chen had a Torkoal, so why would it abandon its trainer for a little boy?

She stood up in front of Xia Chen, glaring angrily at the three monkey monsters.

"Bu Yi! (If you're so capable, fight me one-on-one. What kind of skill is it to have three against one!)"

The monkey-like creature, being a social animal, scoffed, "Three against one?"

Isn't this a just gang fight?

…………

Seeing the three Mankey monsters approaching step by step, Xia Chen behind Eevee didn't rush to release Torkoal. Instead, he squinted and observed the distance between the Mankey monsters and the little boy.

If they had just gotten a little closer, I could have thrown the Coal Turtle and run to save the little boy without getting caught by the monkey monster.

Xia Chen held his breath, preparing to unleash the last of his strength at any moment.

Just before he was about to pull a Poké Ball out of his pocket, a small, ugly, gray fish with a pockmarked surface emerged from the stream beside him, which no one had been paying attention to, and spat a long, thin water gun at Mankey's face.

The monkey monster froze, wiped the water from its face, and then turned its head furiously towards the direction from which the attack came.

When they discovered it was an ugly and weak elf, they were even more furious.

"Squeak! (How dare you!)"

The monkey monsters then shifted their focus, casting angry glares at the stubborn-looking Ugly Fish in the stream.

Chapter 22 I'll come back to find you! (Please read on!)

The monkey monster felt that its status as the little tyrant of Lingmiao Mountain had been greatly challenged. It was one thing for an Eevee to dare to challenge it.

After all, they only realized how strong Eevee was after fighting it, and Mankey has always respected the strong.

But you, a nobody ugly fish, dare to spray me with a water gun?

You think I can't beat you up just because you're in the water?

The monkey let out a strange cry, its hands condensing into blades, and silvery energy instantly gathered in its palms. With a bare-handed slash, it aimed at the ugly fish in the water.

At the critical moment, a white light flashed, and an orange-red turtle-shaped spirit radiating high temperature stood in front of the monkey monster.
