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

The number also changed from 0 to 1.

It wasn't that Eevee felt the difficulty wasn't high enough and increased it, but rather that Eevee itself had a physical problem.

physical strength!

In other words, the software caught up, but the hardware didn't.

Reality isn't a game; it doesn't have things like health bars.

Having just passed through its infancy, Ibrahimovic clearly has significant problems with physical attributes such as stamina and endurance, and these are not issues that can be resolved quickly.

Nutritional supplements and proper training can help Ibrahimovic improve significantly in terms of stamina, speed, and other aspects.

Ibrahimovic lay panting on the grass, silently reflecting on his actions.

Undoubtedly, although the first training session was earlier than in the previous life, the results far exceeded expectations.

Apart from setting the speed to low, all other variables were controlled in the medium to high-level tests. The achievement of hitting one target was something I could only achieve after two years of training in my previous life.

Besides the Heavenly King-level consciousness and experience he brought back, the solid foundation he laid at the Zhijiang City training base also played a crucial role.

I am much stronger now than I was at the same stage in my previous life, but that is still far from enough.

The current situation is that the body is not keeping up with the brain; the brain knows how to operate, but the body's fitness is not up to par.

This feeling is particularly unpleasant, and that's precisely why Ibrahimovic is frustrated, not just because he didn't manage to complete the first training session without injury.

Well, this isn't something that can be resolved in a short time; we'll just have to take it one step at a time.

…………

The next day.

The sun rose as usual, and Xia Chen opened his Pixiv homepage as usual.

A single number instantly snapped Xia Chen, who had stayed up a little late last night and was still a bit sleepy, wide awake.

Two million!

This is the video I posted the day before yesterday, showing Ibrahimovic's first appearance, and its current view count!

Incidentally, his number of followers and the number of views on the dozen or so videos he had previously posted also increased significantly.

This is all money!

Xia Chen wasn't ashamed of his money-grubbing behavior at all. That's just how things are, what can he do?

For Xia Chen, who only had five figures left in his pocket, this news was a huge boost.

He couldn't resist picking up Ibrahimovic, who was eating breakfast beside him, and giving the hero a big kiss.

"Ibrahimovic, we're rich now!"

"Bubuyi"

Ibrahimovic forced a smile to appease Xia Chen, then looked utterly dejected.

You are amazing!

You are noble!

You don't even appear in your own videos!

I was the one who cried in front of millions of viewers!

I'm the one who's going to die!

Despite the complaints, Ibrahimovic knows that the video going viral is ultimately a good thing.

In my previous life, I could only eat energy cubes that were barely at the intermediate level in the early stages. Now, I could probably eat high-level energy cubes like candy without any problem.

In short, it's good to be rich!

Chapter 11 Speculations on the Evolution of Sylveon

After breakfast, Xia Chen took Little Eevee for a short walk outside to digest, and then officially began his morning training session.

This is the schedule that Xia Chen revised overnight. Due to Eevee's outstanding performance in the basics, Xia Chen decided to introduce the learning and training of Pokémon moves ahead of schedule.

Moves are the most important and essential part of Pokémon battle games.

Type advantages, resistances, and even immunity form the core of Pokémon, the most interesting aspect of turn-based games and the foundation that has allowed the series to remain popular for decades. (Although Game Freak has rested on its laurels and started to slack off.)

In the real world where these Pokémon exist, the clash of moves remains the most thrilling part of Pokémon battles for viewers.

For trainers and Pokémon, the importance of move training is no less than that of Pokémon's basic stats, tactical choices, and on-the-spot command.

In the game, players have no need to worry about training moves.

Upgrading to automatic learning, egg moves, skill discs, and tutorial moves—basically, as long as you find the right methods, learning all the moves in a Pokémon's skill pool is not a problem.

If the player is willing, it's not difficult for a newly hatched garlic turtle to immediately learn Leaf Storm.

But in reality, it's different; there are only two ways to learn a move.

Genetics, and learning.

Heredity goes without saying; it's determined by Arceus. You're either born with it or you're not.

It is both fair and cruel.

As for learning techniques later in life, that's much more feasible.

As long as you have enough comprehension and the corresponding energy affinity, you can learn all the moves in the skill pool of the game.

As for its power or effect, that varies from spirit to spirit.

This is another piece of knowledge that Xia Chen has learned in this world over the past six months.

Xia Chen had already planned to teach Eevee its moves, in addition to the moves commonly used in regular battles.

Most importantly, the key moves that allow Eevee to evolve into Sylveon are either Round Eyes or Charm.

…………

Of course, this evolutionary condition is what Xia Chen is currently assuming.

In the game, Sylveon appears as a new evolution form of Eevee with the addition of the Fairy type in Generation VI.

Its evolutionary conditions also differ from those of other members of the family.

The first condition is that the intimacy level reaches 158.

The second condition is to learn a Fairy-type move.

Both are indispensable.

The timeline of this world is very chaotic. Naruto, the "original protagonist of the Unova region", is six years older than when he set off on his adventure in the game.

At this time, the champion of the Unova region was Alder, who was still alive and whose spirit had not yet been broken.

Last year, the eruption of energy in the Carlos region due to Xerneas's awakening bestowed a new power upon many elves.

After conducting preliminary research on it, researchers determined that it brought about a new property.

People named it the Fairy type.

For some unknown reason, Sylveon has not yet been discovered in this world.

Xia Shen guessed that, firstly, it might be because in the timeline of this world, the fairy attribute had only been discovered not long ago, and most researchers were still in the exploratory stage.

Secondly, the evolution conditions for Sylveon might be more unique and demanding than in the game.

Otherwise, those two simple conditions alone should not have been enough to deter scholars with exceptional research skills.

Time waits for no one. Xia Chen didn't know how long he could keep the evolution of Sylveon hidden. He had to research and discover the evolution that best suited him as soon as possible.

Although his funding, facilities, and other hard conditions were far behind those of professional researchers, he had a unique advantage.

That means knowing the endpoint of the research and the general conditions can save you from many detours.

…………

Returning to the move "Encore," research on Fairy-type moves was just getting on track, and so was the development of Fairy-type moves.

The number of Fairy-type moves discovered and researched is extremely limited, and Madoka is one of them.

Xia Chen checked the information and found that, up to now, only four or five Pokémon have been found to be able to learn Round Eyes, and Eevee is not among them.

This is also why Xia Chen is confident in completing this research first; scholars do not seem to pay much attention to the possibility of a Fairy-type Eevee evolution.

Xia Chen also had a preliminary plan on how Ibuki would learn to use the Round Eyes technique.

In this world, for a spirit to learn a move, having the energy of the corresponding attribute is a necessary condition.

Therefore, the first step is to ensure that Eevee has Fairy-type energy, which can be achieved by replenishing Fairy-type Energy Cubes.

Currently, only Kalos, the birthplace of the Fairy type, produces this thing in large quantities. Xia Chen bought a batch online the day he found Eevee, and added it to Eevee's diet yesterday.

Because they are imported and the raw materials are rare, the fairy-attribute energy cubes are extremely expensive.

But there was no other way; it was a necessary expense. Xia Chen gritted his teeth and ordered two months' worth of supplies, and the amount in his bank account dropped sharply.

Eevee has only eaten two meals of Fairy-type Energy Cubes so far, and Xia Chen doesn't expect her to learn Round Eyes right away. This morning can only be considered an introduction.

"Ibu, have you noticed any changes in the energy within your body these past two days?"

In the courtyard, Xia Chen sat cross-legged, guiding the obediently squatting Eevee in front of him, "For example, a new type of energy?"

As the first Sylveon in the world on another timeline, Eevee knew perfectly well what Xia Chen meant by those words.

However, she still tilted her head in feigned confusion, "Bu-i?"

Then he closed his eyes again, pretending to sense the wisps of fairy energy flowing through his body, and nodded with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

The newborn spirit, who is surprised to discover fairy-type energy within its body, is vividly portrayed.

…………

Seeing the trainer's slight upturn of the lips, Eevee chuckled inwardly. It felt like being reborn; nothing else had improved, but its acting skills had certainly taken a leap forward.
