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

As noon approached, the sun hung high in the sky, and the light scattering into the woods grew increasingly intense.

Xia Chen's team had been advancing safely for nearly half an hour and was getting closer and closer to the safe zone.

Although there was no encounter as expected, Xia Chen was not in a hurry. The density of people in the outer circle was too small, so he was unlikely to run into many people anyway.

The race can only truly begin after the third round of laps in the afternoon.

But life is sometimes like that; the more you want something to happen, the less likely it is to happen. When you don't want it to happen, it happens naturally.

The sound of irregular splashing water came from the stream, and Xia Chen felt a chill and began to observe his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

This was the code he and Ugly Fish had agreed upon; the continuous splashing sound meant that the enemy had been discovered.

The rustling sound of branches being deliberately trampled and shaken overhead reached his ears; undoubtedly, this was a signal from Ibrahimovic.

Clearly, a group of old silver coins were lurking in the shadows ahead, ready to ambush any lucky passerby.

Unfortunately for them, this time they were ambushed by Xia Chen's team, which had a very strong sense of reconnaissance.

He gently tugged at the hem of Mingyi and Yulongtao's clothes, and the two instantly understood.

In order not to alert the enemy, the three of them continued along the planned route.

Laluras sat on Xia Chen's shoulder, making it almost impossible for him to target her.

If they intentionally attack a trainer, they will be automatically disqualified, so Ralts should be safe.

So there's only one target left to be ambushed, and that's YaYa, who's at the very front of the group.

Having received advance notice of the enemy attack, Xia Chen noticed many oddities in the surrounding environment.

There are signs of soil churning on the ground to the right. If I'm not mistaken, a Pokémon must have used Dig recently, possibly to ambush our Pokémon.

In the bushes to the left, a patch of green that stands out sharply from its surroundings is also suspicious; it is highly likely to be a grass-type Pokémon that is just a Voldemort.

Fear stems from the unknown, and when everything about an opponent is exposed, if they dare to attack, they will surely not return!

Xia Chen believed that if he could see it, Ibu couldn't possibly have missed it.

The bait and fishing rod are ready; all that's left is to wait for the fish to bite.

…………

The woods were eerily quiet, but Xia Chen and his companions continued on their way, chatting and laughing as if they were completely oblivious.

Only Ya Ya, walking at the front of the group, vigilantly observed the surroundings, completely unaware that danger was silently approaching from underground.

"tooth?"

Stepping on the slightly soft soil, Ya Ya looked down in confusion and finally realized that something was wrong.

But by then it was too late.

The vibrations coming from beneath her feet became increasingly noticeable, and Ya Ya realized that some elves were attacking her by digging a hole.

His excellent reflexes allowed him to quickly roll away to dodge, but the underground sprite was too fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, an oval-shaped, brownish-red bald head emerged from underneath and stabbed straight into Ya Ya's kidneys.

The attacking sprite is none other than the Diglett, a sprite capable of traveling thousands of miles underground in a single day!

"tooth!"

The groundhog's attack wasn't very damaging, but it was extremely insulting. Enraged by being poked in a vulnerable spot, Tooth was about to turn around and retaliate when two dark green vines suddenly emerged from the grass and tied Tooth up before it could react.

Ya Ya then realized that there was more than one attacking elf. They were binding and grabbing her waist with practiced ease. They were old hands at this!

Unable to move, Ya Ya was truly helpless at this moment. What made him even more furious was that the brown bald head with a red nose did not attack him, but instead burrowed back into the soil.

Clearly, it's not that the mole ran away; it's that it's going to use the same trick again and try to poke at Ya Ya's kidneys once more.

What about teammates?

Please help, save us!

As if hearing Ya Ya's thoughts, several shimmering white, star-shaped energy blasts fell from the sky above the dense forest, accompanied almost simultaneously by a round, brownish-red figure.

"Buyi!"

With a deafening roar from the sky, I, Lord Eevee, have made my heroic entrance!

Chapter 79 Bu Xiang Wan La!

In gaming terms, the high-speed star with its built-in tracking function is a "targeted skill" rather than a "non-targeted skill".

Therefore, this high-speed star falling from the sky must have a destination.

Diglett is in a pseudo-invincible state while digging, so it's unlikely to be Eevee's primary target.

Therefore, the target of this high-speed star is naturally the unknown grass-type Pokémon that is hiding in the grass and using vines to bind Axe.

A deafening explosion rang out from the dense grass. When the city gate catches fire, the innocent bystanders are also affected. Countless emerald green leaves were blasted into fragments by this high-speed star and flew into the air.

Then, a painful scream rang out.

"Ba na—"

A small frog with a green garlic head rolled out of the grass, its face contorted so that the dark green markings on its face clumped together.

Another member of the criminal gang has also appeared, namely the classic Grass-type starter Pokémon, Garlic Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur was clearly in bad shape; a single high-speed spiking attack nearly knocked it out of the game!

As the days passed, the energy within Eevee's body grew stronger day by day, and her attack power also increased considerably.

But this is not the only reason why this high-speed star is so explosive.

More importantly, before that, Ibrahimovic secretly used self-motivation once while he was AFK in the tree.

Using ability-enhancing moves before a battle is against the rules on the battlefield, but there are fewer restrictions in open-world battles.

…………

Bulbasaur was in so much pain that it couldn't care less about Axew. With the vines loosening, Axew broke free of its restraints and regained its freedom.

"Aya, after dodging the burrow, use Ambush on Bulbasaur's vital points!"

Ibrahimovic's attack officially marked the failure of the opponent's sneak attack. Yu Longtao no longer held back and commanded Ya Ya to sound the horn of counterattack.

The primary target, of course, is Bulbasaur, which has already been reduced to a flickering candle by Eevee.

"Ibrahimovic, don't rush, let's wait a little longer."

Although the great battle has already begun, Xia Chen is not in a hurry to let Ibrahimovic join the main battlefield.

The reason, of course, is the other Pokémon that haven't appeared yet.

The competition, which allows five-person teams, has only revealed two Pokémon so far, and Xia Chen doesn't believe that his opponents are only this bad.

Diglett and Bulbasaur are just the vanguard, so where will the central army and the commander-in-chief appear from?

Eevee and Xia Chen understood the same principle. After watching Axew defeat Bulbasaur, Eevee jumped back onto the tree and became a traitor.

Since the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, we might as well hide in the shadows as well. As long as there is the slightest disturbance, Eevee is absolutely confident that it can detect the enemy's movements immediately.

Meanwhile, seeing that Eevee and Axew were able to break the deadlock, Snivy wisely chose to remain hidden in the bushes and did not come out.

The fewer units exposed to the enemy, the greater the information gap that can be created in a short time.

Moreover, if the opponents are not familiar with Xia Chen and his group, they might assume that there are no other Pokémon, since the three of them already have three Pokémon.

So, after Bulbasaur fell, only Axew and Diglett were left to fight one-on-one on the main battlefield.

…………

Axew, which was able to reach the quarterfinals of the Piplup Cup with its first-stage form and was full of strong competitors, was naturally dominating an unknown Diglett without the interference of Bulbasaur's tentacles... no, vines.

If the mole hadn't burrowed so fast and if the toothpick hadn't been unable to create earthquakes, this battle would probably be over by now.

Although ground squirrels have the advantage of digging burrows, they are not very strong and cannot even dig deep enough burrows.

The gopher, which can only move in the shallow soil, is too conspicuous. If Tooth is prepared, its attack when it digs out of its hole has no chance of hitting Tooth.

On the contrary, the gophers, in the awkward period of just emerging and not yet able to return, are repeatedly beaten by teeth.

For a moment, the scene resembled Ya Ya playing a game of "whack-a-mole".

Anyone with eyes can see that if the mole doesn't run away in a few more rounds, it's bound to fall to its sharp claws.

Just then, a cry rang out in the sky, and a fierce bird glided down from the tree.

The bird's beak, gleaming sharply in the sunlight, resembled a razor-sharp dagger, aimed straight at the teeth on the ground.

With the appearance of the third Pokémon, even knowing that Eevee was still lurking in the shadows, the opponent could no longer sit still.

"Eevee!"

The moment Xia Chen saw Spearow make its move, he immediately called out to Eevee.

Ya Ya is caught in a pincer movement, and a slight misstep could lead to a disaster. The first round of shrinking circles is not over yet, and Xia Chen does not want to lose a key player.

Just as Xia Chen called out to Eevee, a string of familiar energy blasts shot out from between the leaves, chasing after the charging Spearow at an extremely fast speed.

Eevee's attack speed couldn't possibly be that outrageous; it would be more like it was when she was at the Elite Four level in her previous life.

Although the difference in strength between him and his previous life is enormous, Eevee has perfectly inherited his combat experience.

Long before Xia Chen even discovered the Fierce Sparrow, she had already pinpointed its location.

Then came a relentless, high-speed star.

…………

While Yaya was playing whack-a-mole, Eevee, hiding in the tree, wasn't idle either. With another self-motivation, Eevee's Special Attack had reached 1% of 13,000.

However, even two layers of self-motivation are enough to cause near-fatal damage to the Fiery Sparrow.

An explosion, louder than the first high-speed star, rang out.

Then came a scream from the Fiery Sparrow.

White smoke filled the air as the Fiery Sparrow fell from the sky, losing its ability to fight.

The opponent's second Pokémon was instantly defeated by Eevee.

Eevee seemed to have absolute confidence in the damage of its Swift Strike, and never showed any intention of finishing off the opponent, its composure was frightening.

The little gopher, who was struggling with Tooth, had a lot of questions in its eyes. "My big reinforcement is gone just like that?"
