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

Xianbu was somewhat helpless.

But then I thought, in my previous life, this elf egg never encountered me, who was blessed by the god of life!

Or, try?

After hesitating for a while, Xianbu finally nodded slightly to Xia Chen in response.

Sigh, I guess I'll just spoil him...

…………

With Senbu's consent, Xia Chen turned his hopeful gaze to Cynthia.

Although the new Sinnoh champion is young, he is quite experienced. Just by looking at Xia Chen's eyes, how could he not know what he was thinking?

Cynthia smiled slightly, but deliberately raised an eyebrow and asked, "This Pokémon egg...you want it?"

Xia Chen nodded immediately and said sincerely, "That's right, Sister Zhu Lan. I don't need the resources that Xian Bu exchanged for the two orbs he found before. I'll just exchange them for this elf egg."

He has no shortage of resources, whether from the school or the company, which could make him a "Warrior of Elf Coins".

He didn't want to miss out on a thousand-year-old, emerald-green, sticky elf egg, even if the chance of it hatching was extremely slim.

Come on, this is a completely new elf form that no one has ever discovered before!

For Pokémon enthusiasts and Pokémon researchers, what could be more tempting than this?

Moreover, with Doraemon around, there's probably still a good chance that it will hatch.

If all else fails, we'll go to the Carlos region again to search for Xernias's whereabouts.

If he couldn't find Xerneas, or even if the God of Life couldn't hatch the elf egg, he would accept it.

Having thought everything through, Xia Chen looked intently at Xilona, ​​awaiting her reply.

This relic theoretically belongs to the League, which has entrusted it entirely to Champion Cynthia. Therefore, as long as Cynthia agrees, there will be no problem for Xia Chen to "adopt" this precious Pokémon egg.

From Cynthia's perspective, this matter is entirely feasible and reasonable.

…………

First of all, Xia Chen's help in exploring the ruins was immense. Without the Immortal Cloth, those two precious pearls would have remained hidden for who knows how long.

In exchange, it would be reasonable for Xia Chen to obtain the elf egg.

Secondly, if this elf egg is not given to Xia Chen for incubation and research, it will be handed over to other research institutes for processing.

The condition of this Pokémon egg cannot be resolved by any instruments.

In comparison, entrusting it to Xia Chen, the only person in the world who has had contact with Xerneas, would actually increase the chances of it hatching successfully.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, handing this Pokémon egg over to Xia Chen is something that outsiders can't criticize. Even if some people in the League's upper echelons have objections, Cynthia can still retort.

After careful consideration, Cynthia suddenly felt a little tired.

It's only because the Alliance discovered these ruins that they found them. If they had dug them up themselves, would they have needed to think so much?

Whatever Xia Chen wants, just give it to him, right?

Pulling herself back to reality, Cynthia feigned difficulty: "Well... it might be a bit tricky with the League, but it's not like there's no way."

Xia Chen asked curiously, "What method? I'll do anything I can."

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

The blonde beauty smiled, her red lips curving upwards. "It's simple. After this ruins expedition, just cook for me for a month."

Xia Chen: "......"

Isn't it the Sinnoh League that's having a hard time?

Why would the solution be to cook for you?

You wicked woman who abuses your power for personal gain!

Chapter 211 Doraemon's Egg-Hatching Journey (6k)

Xia Chen immediately accepted this seemingly strange deal.

No, it was less of a transaction and more of a favor Cynthia did for him.

Anyone with a brain would realize that this condition was just a joke Cynthia was playing on her.

Her purpose in staying for another month was probably to impart some knowledge related to training and combat, just like she had these past few days.

While a warm feeling welled up in Xia Chen's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Cynthia's care for him was almost outrageous. Was her purpose simply to have high hopes for him?

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Xia Chen dared not guess wildly, nor did he want to guess randomly, so he could only temporarily attribute the cause to the two known reasons.

Meanwhile, Cynthia, seeing Xia Chen lost in thought, knew exactly what he was thinking.

What a cautious young man...

Cynthia smiled slightly and said leisurely, "Don't think too much about it. Those breeding knowledge and combat experience are no different from a few hundred dollars to me. I would rather spend that money to hire a top chef for a month than I would like to make a profit."

That's what they say, but from a third-party perspective, it's obvious who benefits more.

Since Sister Zhulan had already expressed her gratitude, Xia Chen had no choice but to keep this kindness in his heart and repay it in the future.

As for staying in the Sinnoh region for another month, he has no problem with that.

Anyway, I got leave from school until November, so I just need to get back before the selection competition.

If Principal Yu knew that he was studying with Cynthia every day in the Sinnoh region, given his personality, he would probably grant him not only another two months of leave, but also leave him until graduation.

…………

Because of the significant discovery of the "snail shell" and the fairy egg, the afternoon's exploration was not in such a hurry.

Naturally, Xia Chen, Cynthia, and the elves began to study how to treat the elf egg, which was in a "half-dead" state.

The primary physicians are Sylveon and Kirlia, while Lucario and Garchomp, who have the ability to detect life signs, serve as their assistants.

Xia Chen... is at most a junior nurse.

The treatment team first experimented with the most direct and brutal approach.

Xianbu first tried to probe the slime with a ribbon, then tied it directly to the elf egg and slowly channeled his life energy into it.

This is the strange change that Xenbu discovered in his body after he almost exhausted the energy in his antlers during his battle with Yveltal. Xerneas's blessing later amplified this change.

If one had to find a plausible theory, Xianbu felt that it was probably during those ten minutes that his body was repeatedly torn apart by the pure energy originating from Xerneas, and then immediately healed by life energy.

After countless cycles of destruction and rebirth, Xanbu was "extracted" by that energy into what it is now, a being that can be called "Little Xerneas".

Of course, Sylveon's energy intensity and total amount are nowhere near Xerneas', but for a Pokémon egg on the verge of death, it is absolutely invaluable.

As life energy was continuously injected into the Pokémon egg, Lucario, who was monitoring the egg's life force with Aura, showed an undisguised surprise.

She initially thought that Xia Chen and Xianbu's "give it a try" was just a desperate measure, but who would have thought it would actually work...

This is like giving an IV drip to someone who has already passed the seven-day mourning period, and then their electrocardiogram starts beating again!

What kind of magical potion is this?

Is it really that outrageous...?

…………

Seeing Lucario's expression, Cynthia realized that the Pokémon egg had changed. She looked at the composed Sylveon in surprise and couldn't help but ask curiously, "This can't be related to...?"

Before she could finish her question, Cynthia stopped herself.

She understood that Xanbu's ability was most likely related to the Yveltal awakening incident.

And things like this, which are closely related to legendary elves, are undoubtedly one of the biggest secrets of Xia Chen and Xianbu. It would be too impolite to ask about them.

Cynthia, who has a great sense of boundaries, stopped the situation in time, preventing it from becoming awkward.

But just because Cynthia didn't ask didn't mean Xia Chen wouldn't tell her. He shrugged and replied, "That's right, it's related to Yveltal's awakening. But it's a long story. Would you like to hear it, Sister Zhulan?"

As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you have to worry. I've already told Cynthia about the Ghost Zorua, so what's wrong with talking about this insignificant past?

From another perspective, Xia Chen's reaction slightly surprised Cynthia.

Does this guy... really trust me that much?

For someone like Cynthia, unconditional trust is more moving than any words.

She didn't know if Xia Chen had any other secrets hidden deep in his heart, but it was already very precious that he could share such an important thing with her.

A ripple of emotion stirred within Cynthia, a strange light flickering in her eyes, but she feigned composure and said, "Then tell me..."

Xia Chen had no idea about the changes in Shirona's heart. He nodded and began to recount the past.

"The story begins with that withered sacred tree in Aroma City..."

……

"Who would have thought that little toy that Sylvanas picked up would ultimately become the key to defeating Yveltal..."

After listening to this thrilling story, it took Cynthia a long time to come back to her senses, and she exclaimed with some amazement.

For any excellent trainer, an endless spirit of exploration is one of the most valuable qualities, and Cynthia is no exception.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up the league championship to spend her days going to remote, uninhabited mountains and deserts to conduct mythological research and explore ancient ruins.

But compared to Xia Chen's experience in the Carlos region, Cynthia suddenly felt that her previous explorations of ruins were no longer appealing.

…………

Xia Chen and Cynthia were chatting about the story related to the legendary Pokémon when, unexpectedly, Sylveon's "IV infusion therapy" took an unexpected turn.

After all, Xianbu only possessed strength below the elite level, and the life energy he could transfer at one time was ultimately limited.

After nearly ten minutes of continuous supply, the life energy stored in Xianbu's body became insufficient.

If it is transported again, there is a high chance that it will damage the celbuck itself.

Sylveon isn't the kind of saint who would willingly harm herself to help a complete stranger's fairy egg.

She would never do something so foolish, and she believed that Xia Chen wouldn't support her doing such a thing either.
