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

Unable to do anything about her, Xia Chen could only lie down helplessly.

"Fine, whatever..."

Using superpowers, he pressed the light switch, and the light went out instantly.

In the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes, with curved brows, closed peacefully.

It has been reviewed.

. . .

My Pokémon post got censored.

I asked the editor, and their original comment was, "There are a lot of words related to 'chest' in this chapter; it might have been grouped together by the system with completely unrelated words."

Please wait...

Chapter 216 Boarding School Diary (6.6k!)

The next morning.

Xia Chen woke up before the first ray of sunlight entered the room.

The reason he got up early today wasn't because he had a habit of waking up early in unfamiliar surroundings; after all, he had been sleeping in this bed for several days.

The main problem is that Gardevoir's horn is really uncomfortable to dig into...

Xia Chen's sleeping posture is very standard. He can't fall asleep lying on his side or with his back turned. He lies flat on his back before going to sleep and also lies flat when he gets up.

Gardevoir was the restless sleeper. She had been lying flat before falling asleep, but after a night, she was now wrapped around Xia Chen like a climbing vine.

So, the orange-red horn in front of her poked Xia Chen right in the waist.

This resulted in Xia Chen experiencing severe pain in his left lower back first thing in the morning...

Fortunately, the humans in this world have superhuman physical strength, and with the addition of superpowers, Xia Chen's physical condition has become even stronger, and he recovered in no time.

Rubbing his lower back, Xia Chen walked to the window. The cool breeze of the early autumn morning in Sinnoh made him shiver.

It was a bit cold, but it was also really refreshing. Xia Chen, who couldn't sleep anyway, became even more energetic.

Stretching, Xia Chen gazed into the distance, admiring the autumn morning scenery of Xilona's manor, which was almost indistinguishable from the wilderness.

In the woods, the murkbirds chirped and chattered noisily, as if waiting for their mothers to feed them.

On the grass, several curly-eared crickets and a group of shy buds gathered around a speaker cricket playing beautiful music, enjoying the melodious tune.

In the vast artificial lake, Cynthia's Milotic was once again training hard in the morning sun, while Cynthia's Milotic was carefully guiding her from the side, and the scene looked rather harmonious.

By the lake, a blonde girl sat quietly on the grass, her breath seemingly blending into nature.

From her silhouette, one could vaguely make out that it was Cattleya.

Is she training superpowers?

Xia Chen suddenly remembered the method she had taught him yesterday for training his mental strength. Although she hadn't said that mornings were the best time to train, the quiet mornings seemed like a perfect time for meditation and cultivation.

Unable to sleep, Xia Chen decided to go downstairs and cultivate with Jia Deliya, so that he could ask questions on the spot if he had any problems.

After putting on her coat and quickly washing up, Xia Chen quietly opened the door, went downstairs, and went out.

Behind him, Gardevoir, who had seemed to be fast asleep, slowly opened her eyes, watched Xia Chen's departing figure, and quietly got up and went to the empty training room.

…………

While Xia Chen was away and the other companions were still asleep, Gardevoir prepared to thoroughly study the Eye of Memrigold.

It wasn't that Gardevoir wanted to hide this secret; Gardevoir was mainly afraid that this thing, which they hadn't yet fully understood, would harm them.

I found a special attack version of the move power tester, and Gardevoir, just like yesterday, controlled the energy flow to its left eye, stimulating it to shoot out red light.

The red beam hit the tester directly, but the latter did not react at all; the number displayed on the screen remained unchanged at zero.

It couldn't possibly be that the testing device was broken. The testing device used by Cynthia's family was a top-of-the-line training device that Silver Corporation spent tens of millions of dollars to create using special materials.

It can barely withstand even the Ice Beam of a Champion-level Glaceon, let alone Gardevoir, which is below Elite level.

In other words, this light did not cause any harm.

After verifying this information, Gardevoir began to ponder the true purpose of the beam.

First of all, its essence should also be a kind of energy, perhaps for healing, perhaps for strengthening like meditation, or perhaps for weakening like staring.

Secondly, Xia Chen said yesterday that through this beam of light, he seemed to feel his own emotions.

In addition, there's Emredo's title as the "God of Emotions"...

Perhaps, what lies hidden in the eyes of Emrid is a special kind of emotional energy?

Gardevoir knows a bit about emotional energy; she and Sylveon both know the move "Repay".

Returning is a typical example of a move that utilizes emotional energy. The principle is to transform the bond and love between the Pokémon and the trainer into energy, and unleash a full-force attack for the trainer.

When Gardevoir was still Kirlia, she secretly competed with Sylveon to see whose Return move was more powerful, but she never won in this contest.

However, she did not believe that her bond and love with Xia Chen were defeated by Xianbu, but rather that she was defeated by the difference in strength.

After all, even if emotional energy is special, there are still basic rules to follow. It's normal that Sylvanas's special attack is so much higher than his own, so the power of his Gratitude is also a bit higher.

…………

Pulling herself back to reality, Gardevoir began to consider how she should utilize this special emotional energy.

Mix this energy with ordinary psychic or fairy-type energy, and then add it to the move to release it.

It seems to be a reliable and practical solution.

Without hesitation, Gardevoir immediately set to work and began experimenting.

Skillfully gathering Psychic-type energy, Gardevoir prepared to conduct an experiment using its most proficient move, Psychic.

Energy condensed in his left eye, and the strange energy within the Eye of Memredo stirred once more. Gardevoir, having anticipated this, restrained its urge to unleash the energy directly, instead mixing it with Psychic energy.

Perhaps because the Eye of Memrider had become part of its body, the fusion of the two energies proceeded more smoothly than Gardevoir had imagined.

The energy, a mixture of emotion and superpower, flowed back to him, transforming into a crimson beam of energy that shot out from the energy emitter-like horn and struck the move tester in front of Gardevoir.

boom--

The tester's stress zone immediately emitted a slight muffled sound, and the numbers on the screen jumped wildly before settling on the number [3658].

3658...?!

Looking at this number, Gardevoir's delicate little face was full of surprise.

Is this the attack that combines the power of the Eye of Memrigold?

I also have this move power meter from Silver Company at home. Although the one I have is only the elite version, there is a unified standard for power scoring.

My most recent test was two days before I left Donghuang, which is exactly one month ago now.

Gardevoir clearly remembered that the damage her [Psychic] dealt that time was... 1623.

In just one month, the difference between the two has more than doubled!

…………

In fact, the number 1623 is not low.

According to the standard reference provided by Silver Company, a senior-level Pokémon can deal damage in the range of 1000-2000.

1623 is roughly the maximum damage a low-level Pokémon can deal.

A month ago, Sylvanas's Moon Power and Milotic's Hydro Pump only reached a mere 2500.

The mental power just now actually reached the exaggerated level of 3658!

By standard rating standards, this is the level of attack power that only an elite one-star level Pokémon would have...

It took Gardevoir a full half minute to gradually accept this exaggerated fact.

Think calmly and analyze rationally.

After the initial shock, Gardevoir began to consider the reasons for the difference between the two.

The factors that are obvious are nothing more than a few: evolution, the boost from superpower enhancement, and the most unpredictable... the mixture of emotional energy.

It's unclear which of these plays the most important role, but Gardevoir has a way of figuring it out.

Using the simplest method of controlling variables, first send a strong mental thought that does not contain emotional energy, and you can derive the emotional energy bonus from the two numbers.

After deducting the 20% super-power enhancement bonus, the effects of all three factors can be calculated.

The clever and quick-witted Gardevoir immediately began conducting experiments.

Half a minute later, she immediately received another set of data.

2413!

3658 / 2413 ...

In other words, the Eye of Empyrean provides approximately a 1.5x bonus.

After removing the 1.2 from the super-powered enhancement, the standard damage from this mental attack is...

2010!

Hmm... barely reaches the elite level, but still a ways off from Sylvanas and Milotic.

However, the damage from Moon Power and Water Cannon is slightly higher than that from Spiritual Power, and my older siblings have indeed trained for longer than me, so it's normal for there to be some difference.

…………

Having figured this out, Gardevoir roughly understood its current level of power and the wonderful use of emotional energy.

However, although she can now deal damage equivalent to an elite-level one-star spirit, it does not mean that her strength has reached that level.

Because such a move cannot be used casually.

After experimenting for a while, Gardevoir came up with several key points and limitations regarding the use of emotional energy.

Firstly, emotional energy can be applied not only to offensive moves, but also to enhancement moves like meditation, status moves like hypnosis, and even terrain/weather moves like fog or rainmaking.

Somewhat similar to a catalyst for a move, in attack moves it naturally increases power, while meditation increases the enhancement effect and duration, and the same applies to the Misty Terrain.
