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

However, judging from her less-than-friendly gaze, Ugly Fish knew that this conversation was unlikely to be easy.

“Buyi—now that you’ve come to this family, you need to know the family rules. Besides Xia Chen, I’m the eldest, so from now on you have to call me Big Sister, understand?”

Uglyfish thought that although this Eevee looked cute, it didn't seem to be very smart.

How can a fish talk to itself?

Can these words be spelled out by blowing bubbles?

The idiot fish's blank and unresponsive appearance angered Eevee. What's wrong with this guy?!

Can't you understand Elvish?

Still can't speak Elvish?

Just as I was about to tap the glass to warn him, I suddenly realized that Feebas doesn't seem to be able to talk.

Ibu pretended nothing had happened and gently lowered his raised hand, continuing, "Ibu-i—(We can call you 'big sister' from now on, but you need to recognize your position. From today onwards, you're my little brother, understand?)"

In her previous life's timeline, this ugly fish had never appeared, and Eevee, as a reborn individual, was always a little uneasy. She wanted to stabilize this uncertain factor.

"Bue-ee—(If you agree, blow a string of bubbles)"

However, Eevee's response wasn't a string of bubbles, but rather Feebas's stubborn gaze.

I, Ugly Fish, have chosen Xia Chen, not you, Eevee, to make me your underling.

Why?

…………

The more insecure a creature is, the stronger its sense of self-esteem tends to be; this is true of the pufferfish.

What's particularly special is that Uglyfish now also has a unique dragon-raising system.

Ugly Fish, who has boundless confidence in his future, is currently in a very strange psychological state. If we had to draw an analogy...

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" is perhaps the most accurate description of his current situation.

It is well known that those who rise from humble beginnings are often the protagonists in most works of art.

Although Ugly Fish didn't understand this strategy, he vaguely came up with the same idea and naturally felt a bit resentful towards Eevee.

You only met Xia Chen a little earlier than me, what's so great about that!

You want me to be your lackey? Dream on!

He casually turned his head and swam away. Instead of arguing with Eevee, he would rather figure out the system, which was the source of his power.

Yesterday, the system went on and on, and although I didn't understand most of it, I did understand the most important things.

……

According to the system's growth plan, aquatic spirits need to go through multiple stages in order to transform into dragons.

Under the correction of the laws of this world, I still need to evolve into Milotic before I can continue to evolve.

It seems that Milotic's corresponding dragon transformation stage is... [Jiao]?

In the first stage, which is the current Ugly Fish form, I need to lay a solid foundation and work hard to improve my body's affinity for the energy of the water and dragon attributes.

According to the system description, the Mysterious Water Drop and White Jade Pearl in the New Player Gift Pack are important items used to enhance the strength of dual attributes.

According to the system, once these two things existing in one's body are completely digested, the foundation for entering the next stage of dragon transformation will be laid.

After obtaining these two items last night, Ugly Fish has been trying to absorb them according to the method given by the system.

I can indeed sense a certain kind of energy flowing through my body, but it's only a tiny amount.

The size of the two beads remained exactly the same.

It felt as insignificant as scooping a bowl of water from Yunze Lake.

But Ugly Fish was not discouraged at all. A person who has experienced darkness will try to leave the abyss even if there is only a glimmer of light.

I, Ugly Fish, have had enough of the days when fish bullied me!

I will evolve into a dragon step by step, and I will become a divine dragon that no one dares to bully!

[Ding~ Sensing the host's change in mindset, the achievement [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss] has been unlocked, granting a buff that increases energy absorption speed by 200%!]

Ugly Fish was a little confused; how did he unlock the achievement?

Oh well, whatever, it's not a bad thing no matter how you look at it.

After a breakfast that felt a little strange for some reason, Xia Chen returned to his room to edit videos.

I spent two whole days at Lingmiao Mountain and filmed most of the footage. It would be a waste not to make a video about it.

Unfortunately, he was corrupted by Wang Fang's shameful money and made a pact not to tell anyone about the monkey monster attacking and kidnapping tourists.

Otherwise, if you add the second half, this video could be edited to be even more exciting than a movie.

However, not adding it may not be a bad thing; adding it might actually allow malicious people to manipulate the situation.

They say things like, "She acted on purpose to become famous."

School is about to start, and he's responsible for raising Eevee and Feebas. Just thinking about it gives him a headache if something like this really happens.

I'm perfectly content to be a content creator who makes food and Eevee vlogs.

Because most of the video was shot from Ibrahimovic's head using a camera, Xia Chen spent a lot of time and effort on it, and didn't finish this episode until almost noon.

Looking at the videos, which were quite different in style from the current main character's outdoor vlog, Xia Chen nodded in satisfaction.

After naming it "Outdoor Adventure with Eevee 01: Lingmiao Mountain Pear Picking Festival", Xia Chen immediately clicked "Publish".

…………

Alola region, Aetherland.

This is an artificial island built by the Aether Foundation, a renowned technology giant in the Alola region. It serves as their main research base and a refuge for many injured Pokémon.

This is also where Lusamine, the owner of the Ether Foundation, and her family live.

Inside a luxurious manor in the center of the island, a delicate young woman with light blonde hair nervously raised her hand, attempting to touch the gentle and adorable sea lion, Ball Ball.

What almost everyone in the world can do seems like an insurmountable chasm to this young girl.

"ball!"

The sea lion, Ball Ball, encouraged the girl, wanting her to take that final step.

But the fear that spread from the bottom of her heart eventually prevailed, and the blonde girl finally withdrew her hand, trembling.

"Miss, you've shortened the distance by another centimeter compared to yesterday."

Beside her stood an elderly man with a full head of white hair, but standing upright, comforting the girl with a complicated expression.

The girl gently shook her head. "Grandpa Butler, you don't need to comfort me."

After saying that, she turned and went into her room, leaving only a soft sigh behind her.

He gently stroked the Popplio and muttered to himself, "Miss is almost sixteen and can have her first Pokémon, but she still can't overcome her fear of Pokémon. Sigh."

Chapter 29 An Ordinary Pigeon Master

Lillie lay on the soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I love elves so much, so why can't I get close to them?

She knew that the root of her symptoms was being attacked by that elf when she was a child.

But why does that incident still have such a big impact on me after so much time has passed?

Lillie had thought about this question countless times, but she could never find an answer.

The vibration of her phone beside her pillow pulled her back to her memories. She opened her phone and saw a message notification.

"The content creator you are following, [I am not a pigeon], updated a video an hour ago."

Lillie jumped out of bed instantly. That cuckoo pigeon, finally remembered to update!

Because she loves Pokémon but can't interact with them, Lillie especially enjoys being a "virtual trainer" or "virtual breeder" online to make up for this regret.

This food-related content creator, known as "Master Pigeon" by fans for frequently postponing his videos, is one of her favorite video creators.

For long-time users like Lillie, most of the videos in the food section, the Pokémon daily life section, and even the battle section are too repetitive.

Pigeon Master's videos are different; they feature dishes never heard of before, and each video includes a stand-up comedy routine with the cameraman, as well as his favorite part: mukbang featuring wisteria vines.

Two weeks ago, he also found an adorable Eevee. In the first episode of her appearance, he was captivated by this cute and sensible little creature.

It was from that episode that Master Pigeon's videos became increasingly popular.

Like this video, it has already garnered 100,000 views in just one hour since it was posted.

Lillie clicked on the video, ready to use food to cheer herself up in her low mood.

But the first scene after the video started surprised Lillie.

…………

The vast and magnificent lake, rising from the surface, is breathtakingly beautiful under the sunlight.

This scene seems to indicate that this video will be different from the previous ones.

However, the style of the comments at this moment was somewhat strange.

"I wish for a smooth college entrance exam this year."

"I wish my starting Pokémon would be an Iron Dumbbell."

"I hope to participate in the Lily of the Valley Convention this year."

"I wish my Gardevoir would learn to repay kindness (lol)."

Lillie found it amusing and followed suit, posting, "My wish is that I can overcome my fear of elves this year."

After the stunning scene, Master Pigeon's clear voice came through the video.

"Hello everyone, this is a new video series, a travel vlog with Eevee. Today we've arrived at the Pear Picking Festival in Lingmiao Mountain."

"This video will feature a lot of Ibrahimovic's first-person perspective, so viewers who are prone to motion sickness should be prepared."
