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

(Finally, congratulations to Ash Ketchum on winning the championship!!)

I'd like to recommend a friend's new book. Nurturing the budding seeds of whimsical literature is everyone's responsibility.

Chapter 72 Let's kowtow ten times to Master Yi

"Ugh! So boring, why hasn't Master Pigeon updated his videos yet!"

In a Pogaman group called "[Pigeon Cage]", a person nicknamed "[My Wife is Sister My Lips]" sighed.

He was one of the most active members of the group, so much so that he was almost always the first to share Xia Chen's new videos in the group.

Therefore, the group owner gave him the group title of [Messenger Bird].

It's impossible to know when this group first appeared.

However, the person with the nickname "[I will always love Master Yi]" is really ruthless. Every time Xia Chen releases a new video, she sends out red envelopes in the group chat, and the amounts are not small.

When Ibrahimovic won the Bogaman Cup a while ago, she even gave him a five-figure red envelope.

Even if it's spread out across this large group of a thousand people, each person can still grab a few dozen on average.

Although most people in the group are trainers, they just grab these red envelopes for fun.

However, it must be said that the existence of red envelopes made this non-existent Xia Chen fan group extremely active.

……

It's 8 PM on Sunday, the end of the weekend, a final celebration for office workers and students.

The group chat was lively, and what was most amazing was that everyone was chatting on their own, yet they managed to avoid disturbing each other.

But the appearance of a video link disrupted this magical balance.

My wife is a lipstick: [pilipil video website: How did you guys know I had a heterochromatic Ralts?]

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the group chat, and a few seconds later, a barrage of question marks flooded the screen.

Even the group owner, who usually only posts red envelopes and rarely participates, and a man named [Iron Will] couldn't help but get involved.

A different color Ralts?!

Do you know what you're saying, you bastard!

After a barrage of question marks filled the screen, the group fell silent again.

Without a doubt, almost everyone who was active went to watch Xia Chen's latest Versailles video.

This video isn't short. From the moment Xia Chen retrieved Ralts's egg to the day before it hatched, his daily routine of caring for the egg took up the majority of this half-hour video.

Although it was a routine, it wasn't boring. Xia Chen's care went from being clumsy to skilled, and her attitude towards the elf egg blind boxes went from being apprehensive to peaceful, and finally to being as loving as an old mother.

The twist was highly entertaining, especially since the audience knew that the final hatched Pokémon was a Shiny Ralts.

The video reached its climax in the last five minutes when the small, adorable Ralts with short blue hair emerged from its egg.

This was also the moment when the barrage of comments reached an alarming peak.

…………

"Inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale, inhale good luck!"

"Holy crap, a heterochromatic Ralts? Is this for real? Tell me, the blue hair is dyed, right?"

"This video appears to use intelligent synthesis technology. Please be cautious and identify potential risks!"

"Aaaaaah! A blind box Pokémon egg worth 300,000 yuan hatched into a Shiny Ralts! Xia Chen, you bastard, you deserve to die!"

"Die!"

"Master Yi named the competition, Master Yi fought the competition, and even Master Yi chose the prizes. He's taken care of everything! Master Pigeon should add Master Yi to the family tree."

"Write it in the family genealogy? It's not too much to kowtow to Master Yi ten times every morning, is it?"

"Stop talking! Master Yi is forever the god of luck! I wish for a uniquely colored iron dumbbell!"

"I wish for a giblet!"

"You guys have too much to ask for. I only need to wish for a shiny Charmander."

……

When the scene of Xia Chen and Ralts touching appeared, the half-hour-long video came to an end.

More than half an hour after the video was posted, the pigeon coop returned to its usual lively state.

Clearly, the pigeons returned to their nests after watching the video.

My wife, Sister Mist: "You bastard, you bastard, you bastard! I could curse Master Pigeon ten thousand times! And that still wouldn't be enough!"

Gardevoir, enjoying the shade under her skirt: "Isn't your wife Jynx? Why are you so agitated? I'm the one who should be crying, waaaaah, cat head crying.jpg"

I will always love Ralts: "Password Red Envelope [I will always love Ralts!]"

"I will always love Ralts!" ×

Guandu's most affectionate comment: "Group owner is so generous today! I received over a hundred! Thank you, rich lady, you're so kind!"

The goal is the Sinnoh League Championship: "Hoho, you changed your nickname so quickly, Little Rich Girl. Is Master Yi no longer your darling?"

I will always love Ralts: "Password Red Envelope [I will always love Master Yi!]"

"I will always love Master Yi!" ×

The goal is the Sinnoh League Championship: "As expected of you, off you go, off to training. Garchomp leaves.jpg"

Trying hard to smile: "Ralts is cute, that's true, but she's still a little bit less cute than Morpeko. Morpeko can change her expression.jpg"

The chubby purple boy: "What are you talking about? The only thing cuter than Ralts is Gengar!"

Soon, the group was engulfed in a debate about which Pokémon was the cutest, a debate that would never be answered.

Meanwhile, this video titled "[How did you know I have a Shiny Ralts?]" is going viral on Pixiv at an alarming rate of increase in views.

…………

After posting that video, Xia Chen stopped paying attention to anything else; he was now completely focused on the newborn Ralts.

Although elves are far stronger than humans in terms of physical abilities, they are still in their most vulnerable stage after birth, so they need to be treated with more care than usual.

I'm so glad I ordered Moo Moo fresh milk this morning. I'm luxuriously using a silk scarf to keep Ralts warm.

After a hectic noon, Ralts finally finished her first milk and drifted off to sleep in Xia Chen's arms.

Xia Chen, who was taking care of a newborn elf for the first time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa, struggling to operate his phone with one hand.

The first thing I did was send a message to our homeroom teacher, Mr. Yang.

Xia Chen: [Teacher, I would like to ask for a week's leave.]

Yang Guanghui: [What's wrong now? Your attendance rate has been very low this semester, and you just took a week off. What's the reason this time?]

Xia Chen was afraid of disturbing Ralts, who had just fallen asleep in his arms, so he typed less and tried to express his meaning as concisely as possible.

Xia Chen: [Maternity Leave]

Yang Guanghui: [?]

Yang Guanghui: [You're taking maternity leave? Your physical condition allows you to take maternity leave??]

Yang Guanghui: [Or are you asking who you're treating them to? It can't be...?]

Yang Guanghui: [Does her father know about this?]

Xia Chen was completely dumbfounded; what was going on here?

He had just finished typing "maternity leave" when he started typing an explanation, but unfortunately, the speed of one hand was really too slow.

By the time he finished explaining, Old Yang was already congratulating himself on becoming a father.

I just hatched a shiny Ralts today, and I'll be staying home to take care of her this week.

After the message was sent, the other end remained silent, followed by a series of "The message has been withdrawn".

Yang Guanghui: [I understand, I've approved it for you.]

……

(I noticed something was off when I looked at the character cards today, and then I realized that the male lead was missing.)

I'm recommending a friend's new book; nurturing the budding seeds of whimsical literature is everyone's responsibility.

Chapter 73 Welcome to the Elf Simulator

It has almost become a tradition in Xia Chen's family to go to Silver Department Store every time a new friend joins the family.

Ralts' arrival was a little different; it was Xia Chen's first time visiting the new Pokémon zone.

The newborn Ralts was very small, only about 20 centimeters tall, and could stand on Xia Chen's hand with almost no effort.

However, following Eevee's example, she chose to sit on Xia Chen's right shoulder, while the left side remained Eevee's private domain.

Fortunately, the average physical condition of people in this world is almost on par with that of people in Super New Town, otherwise Xia Chen felt that he would develop uneven shoulders sooner or later.

Looking at the dazzling array of items in the New Elf merchandise area, Xia Chen was overwhelmed with choices.

There was a saying in his past life that "women and children's money is the easiest to earn," and Xia Chen felt that in this world, elves should also be added to the list.

When these three are combined, it becomes a terrifying money-devouring beast.

Nutritional supplements, skincare products, early education machines

Xia Chen brought some of these things, some of which he didn't even know were useful.

Although he was poor, he was by no means stingy when it came to items for the elves.

It cost around 100,000 to catch Eevee and Feebas, so Ralts can't be left out, can it?

…………

"Sir, your Shiny Ralts is so cute."

Beside the shelf, a sales assistant struck up a conversation with Xia Chen, who was shopping.

Xia Chen immediately became alert. What? Aren't my Eevee and Feebas cute?
