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

In other words, this time the reward isn't a choice of four, but rather you can get all of them?

Kirlian was astonished by her own bold conjecture. If it were true, that would be amazing!

Since asking wouldn't hurt, Kirlia said, "I want them all...?"

[Rewards claimed successfully; all rewards have been distributed to the host!]

You really can claim them all!

While Kirullian was excited, she was also somewhat annoyed that the system hadn't told her about this. But then she thought about it and realized that something similar had happened before.

The system shut her down with a simple "You didn't ask," leaving Kirlia speechless for a long time.

Never mind, I'll just keep all the rewards myself.

But why is this time so special, with all the rewards available?

Is this the same for the simulation rewards at the end of every simulated world?

Kirlian didn't know, but to verify this conjecture, it would probably have to wait until the next simulation world ended, so she decided to stop thinking about it for now.

…………

"System, end simulation!"

Moderate simulation can be beneficial for the brain, but excessive simulation can harm your health. Manage your time wisely and enjoy a healthy life.

[Countdown to the next simulation begins: 719:59:59]

Will the next simulation be extended to thirty days?

Before leaving the simulator, the change in that familiar string of numbers caught Kirullian's attention.

However, she didn't think too much about it. Having just received all four rewards from the end of the dungeon world, Kirlia was now completely focused on them.

The candy isn't anything special, and the super-powered enhancements should have already taken effect on my body. So, what about the legendary Eye of Memrigold...?

With a thought, Kirullian's hand produced a small, round, crimson gemstone, resembling agate and exuding a mysterious aura.

Is this the Eye of Empyrean?

Inside the room, Kirlia stared wide-eyed, holding up the gem in her hand and examining it curiously.

From the outside, the Eye of Memridor looks like a beautiful gem with extremely high purity, but the pure psychic energy emanating from it makes Kirlia feel a little intoxicated just by taking a sniff.

Kirlia felt that this gem was as attractive to her as catnip is to cats, or a coarse bone is to Marowak.

Of course, compared to Xia Chen, she was still a little less attractive to him...

Pulling her thoughts back, Kirlia was just about to eagerly begin absorbing the Eye of Memridor when a strange sensation suddenly arose within her.

She was very familiar with this feeling.

I had the same feeling when I encountered Xerneas and evolved from Ralts into Kirlia.

Oh right, the level 5 energy upgrade that I overlooked should have arrived by now.

So I'm going to... evolve?

The long-awaited day finally arrived, and Kirlia was both surprised and delighted.

It'll evolve into Gardevoir soon... Won't Xia Chen be very happy?

Kirullian suddenly began to anticipate Xia Chen's expression when he came in and saw her.

It's going to be really exciting!

Regaining her composure, Kiruri calmed herself and began her final evolution.

In the dimly lit room, the light of evolution suddenly shone brightly, and no one noticed that within the dazzling white light, a touch of crimson suddenly flashed.

------

"You've made great progress, Cattleya."

In the battlefield of the manor, Cynthia smiled and praised the calm blonde girl on the other side of the field.

"Yes, but defeating Adek will still be quite difficult," Cattleya replied calmly.

She raised the Poké Ball in her hand, a flash of red light appeared, and the artificial cell eggs that had lost their ability to battle in the ruins disappeared.

That's right, the entire battlefield can no longer be called a battlefield; it's more like a ruin where buildings have just been demolished.

Almost no part of the ground was intact; dirt and stones were flying everywhere, leaving a scene of utter chaos.

The ubiquitous charred marks and several conspicuous large holes all testify to the violence and devastation the elves had just inflicted on the area.

"The referee for the World Champion match was really scary... Thank you, Lucario!"

Seeing this horrific scene, Xia Chen, who was acting as the referee, released his grip on Lucario with lingering fear, muttering to himself.

"...Luca."

Lucario, rather speechless, straightened her fur, which Xia Chen had messed up. Remembering Cynthia's words before the match, she reluctantly loosened her clenched fist.

Seriously, it's been clinging to me ever since the opening roar of the Flower Rock Monster. Is it really that scary?

Xia Chen wasn't really that afraid. He knew that if the attacks on the field actually splashed onto him, Lucario would definitely step in to protect him.

But Lucario, who finally had a chance to openly pet Cynthia, naturally didn't hold back and petted her to his heart's content.

Ignoring Lucario's look that seemed to want to punch him, Xia Chen called to his companions behind him.

"Sylveon, Milotic, what did you learn from this battle?"

"Buyi?"

"Fuwoo?"

Sylvanas and Milotic rolled their eyes in unison. Did they have to write a review after watching a top-tier match?

I suspect you were forced to write a travel report after a school field trip when you were a kid, and now you're getting revenge!

"Okay, just kidding."

Xia Chen chuckled, then picked up Xianbu and gave it a good rub. After rubbing other people's furry pets outside, he couldn't neglect his own.

Cynthia and Gadria were about to head out to the Pokémon Center and do some shopping, so Xia Chen decided not to interfere in the private matters between the two best friends.

Xia Chen called Zorua, who was still talking to Lucario, and led the Pokémon back home.

"Let's go back and see what Kirlia is up to!"

…………

Generally speaking, Xia Chen's Pokémon are usually only active in the living room, training room, and their own rooms at Cynthia's house.

Kirlian wasn't seen at either of the first two locations, so she must have been secretly meditating and training in her room.

Xia Chen knocked on the closed door and said, "Kirullian, I'm coming in."

There was no response, so it seems he's in deep meditation.

Thinking this, Xia Chen gently pushed open the door, and then he saw... a dazzling white light in the room.

Xia Chen was all too familiar with that white light; it was the light of evolution!

Kirlia has evolved?!

Xia Chen immediately thought of this only possibility.

Besides that, there shouldn't be any other situation. You can't expect a wild Pokémon to run into your room and evolve, can you?

Xia Chen gazed at this scene, which he could never tire of seeing, with a mixture of surprise and delight, and was momentarily lost in thought.

Is that adorable little guy, no bigger than the palm of my hand, which I hatched from the egg myself, about to evolve into Gardevoir?

Time really flies...

"Buyi!"

Xianbu tugged at Xia Chen's pocket with a silk ribbon, reminding him not to forget to take a picture of this precious moment.

Xia Chen suddenly remembered this and quickly took out his phone to record Kirlia's... no, Gardevoir's once-in-a-lifetime evolution.

Amidst the evolutionary light tinged with a faint crimson hue, the slender figure, originally only about a meter tall, continued to grow larger and taller, soon reaching almost the same height as Xia Chen.

The light of evolution gradually faded, and the room returned to darkness.

In the room, the slender and short Kirlia had disappeared, replaced by a Gardevoir in a pure white dress, with a slender and tall figure!

…………

"Sana..."

Sensing the changes in its body, Gardevoir, which had just completed its evolution, slowly opened its eyes. Beneath its sky-blue short hair, its crimson, jewel-like eyes seemed to shimmer with a mysterious and captivating light.

Just standing there, her tall and graceful figure and elegant and mysterious temperament captivated the attention of everyone, including the elves.

Even the moonlight shining in from the window seemed to be drawn to Gardevoir, willingly serving as a backdrop and casting a spotlight that belonged only to her.

Under the moonlight, she was the only breathtaking beauty in the world, surpassing all others.

Xia Chen was momentarily mesmerized as he gazed at the evolved Gardevoir.

Elegant! Absolutely so elegant!

At this moment, Xia Chen finally understood why Gardevoir was nicknamed "Wife Beast".

This elf is simply Arceus's complete and exquisite expression of all beauty.

And Shiny Gardevoir is the pinnacle of pinnacles!

"Sana!"

As soon as Gardevoir opened her eyes, she saw Xia Chen and Sylveon standing at the door.

Before it could even properly experience the changes in its evolved body, Gardevoir leaped up and pounced on Xia Chen like a swallow returning to its mother's embrace.

Saying it's "a swallow throwing itself into someone's bosom" is a bit inappropriate.

It's fine to use it like this for Ralts, or even Kirlia, since it's only a little over a meter tall at most, which is quite small compared to Xia Chen.

But it evolved into Gardevoir... Looking at the "Swallow" that was slightly taller than him and was pouncing towards him, Xia Chen felt somewhat helpless.

It seems her temperament hasn't changed anytime soon; she's still a little girl who never grew up.
