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

If it comes true, not to mention Xia Chen, Sylveon and Gardevoir will definitely not let him off the hook.

Putting aside his fantasies, Zoroah decided to bring the fruit back to reality to eat.

Anyway, Xia Chen and his other companions already know about the existence of the fruit, so there's no point in hiding it.

Moreover, if something unexpected happens after eating this strange fruit, Xia Chen can discover it in time.

With a thought, Zoroya returned to the real world.

…………

The clock on the wall ticked away. Zoroya looked up and saw that it was still nine o'clock at night, the same time she entered the gray fog space.

Since sharing the secret with his companions, Zoroah has changed the time he enters the spirit world each day from late at night to evening.

Finish at this point, heal your wounds, take a bath and rest for a while, and you'll sleep the best.

However, the first thing she did upon emerging today was not to heal her wounds; she looked around.

In the room, Xia Chen sat in front of the computer, studying his opponent's information while writing something in a notebook.

Sylveon and Gardevoir seem to still be training and preparing for tomorrow's match; they're not in their rooms.

But it's okay, as long as Xia Chen is here.

Thinking this, Zoroah took out the newly formed Dream Demon Fruit and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Like all the fruits I had eaten before, this fruit had no taste; it was simply a fluid of some kind of energy.

Zorua could sense that, in addition to the extremely pure ghost-type energy, there was also some very special and strange energy flowing through his body along with the juice.

Two streams of energy intertwined and flowed through his body, giving Soroya a wonderful feeling. If he had to describe it in one word, it would be "smooth".

She had always heard Xia Chen say things like "very moisturizing," and today she finally understood what that feeling meant.

Hmm...it feels so good, my head is even a little dizzy...

Soroya closed her eyes contentedly, unaware that her body was radiating the white light she had been longing for...

…………

After spending two whole days, Xia Chen finally finished compiling information on the opponents he was most likely to encounter on his path to the finals the night before the main competition began, and devised countermeasures for each of them.

Even with superpowers, this kind of work is not easy.

To improve his focus and efficiency, Xia Chen locked himself into a shallow meditative state, allowing him to concentrate fully on his work.

Now that I've finished, I realize I'm both thirsty and hungry.

Stretching with a sigh of relief, Xia Chen called out, "Gardedoll, cut me some fruit."

My little darling has grown up; isn't it time for her to help me with chores?

Otherwise, why raise a daughter?

After a few silent footsteps, the door closed; Gardevoir must have gone out to cut fruit.

Xia Chen opened Pixiv after a long time, ready to reward himself by looking at the cute Pokémon that other trainers were showing off.

Hmm... Miss Mary's Morubek and her smile are so lovely!

I want to join the shouting team too!

Mingyi has updated with a new video, let's take a look...

Hmm...it seems like he's grown a little more...

Wow, how can there be such an adorable hatching cat as Magic Mask Cat!

Xia Chen was completely captivated by the adorable elves and cuteness when suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around his back and blindfolded him.

Are we playing a guessing game? When did Gardevoir become so childish?

Even so, Xia Chen still pretended to guess, "It's fairy cloth, isn't it?"

To play with childish kids, you first need to blend in with them and act like you're a complete idiot.

There was silence behind him.

Xia Chen pretended to suddenly realize something, "It's Gardevoir, right!"

He remained silent behind them.

Xia Chen said helplessly, "Alright, Gardevoir, stop fooling around. You're the only Pokémon in the house with arms."

The shadow blocking their eyes still didn't let go.

With no other option, Xia Chen had to do it himself.

As Xia Chen placed his hand on Gardevoir's hand, he was about to remove it when he was surprised to find that Gardevoir had suddenly grown fur.

Wait, this texture, could it be...?

Xia Chen suddenly turned his head and uttered a phrase about the essence of Chinese culture.

Holy crap!

Chapter 226 Zoroark's New Move (7k)

A faint gray mist spread and then dissipated.

Xia Chen was all too familiar with this scene; it was the sight of Zorua transforming back from her illusion.

Zorua often disguises herself as Sylveon or Gardevoir to tease Xia Chen, but she always gets exposed.

This time was different. Beneath Gardevoir's pure white dress, what was revealed was...

His scarlet eyes exuded a sinister aura, his long hair danced wildly without wind, and his slender body was slightly arched.

This is a humanoid fox spirit that is entirely gray and white, with light pink accents on the ends of its hair and body.

Zoroark!

"Zoroar...K, you've evolved?"

Xia Chen still touched the elf in front of him with his fingers, somewhat incredulous. He was afraid that this was another disguise that Zorua had put on, or that it was just his imagination.

However, the realistic, furry feeling in his palm quickly confirmed to him that Zoroar had indeed evolved!

"Swoosh~"

Zoroark called out affectionately, its voice slightly hoarse, lacking the spoiled nature of an elf cub but possessing a more mature composure and sharpness.

Coupled with her arrogant and handsome appearance, the term "cool girl" is the most accurate description of her.

However, just like Gardevoir when it first evolved, Zoroark's personality cannot change immediately upon evolution.

Despite her arrogant demeanor towards others, a hint of affection could still be seen in her eyes when she looked at Xia Chen.

Zoroark is about the same height as Gardevoir, and slightly taller than Xia Chen.

Whether it is taller than the racial average is uncertain, because racial data for Szczezoroark is unavailable.

But seeing all the little ones who used to curl up and cling to him now grow taller than him, Xia Chen felt a strange mix of emotions.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but Xia Chen always felt a sense of loneliness, like watching his daughters grow up one by one... the loneliness of an old father.

After being the father for over a year, and now, not counting super evolution, all four Pokémon have evolved into their final forms.

Only the two pseudo-legendary babies, Little Dragon and Sticky Baby, who are still in their eggs, have room to evolve.

…………

"That's too much! You didn't even call me when you evolved, and I didn't even have time to film you."

Xia Chen felt a pang of regret for missing the moment of evolution that was right behind him.

Aside from the two evolutions of Sylveon and Ralts that I didn't have a chance to film, Xia Chen faithfully recorded all the other evolution moments of the Pokémon.

These are all wonderful memories for Xia Chen after she enters her retirement life.

"Solo..."

Zoroark, who was being curiously touched by Sylveon, let out a pitiful cry. Evolution was so sudden; he hadn't expected it at all...

To be precise, she had a premonition that she was about to evolve, but Zoroark never expected that she would evolve because of the Mismagius Fruit she ate.

Now, recalling the description of that Soul Fruit, granting access to some of the Dream Demon's abilities...

It turns out that it's not just about moves, but also basic abilities like energy intensity, special attack, and special defense.

No, that's not all. Zoroark felt a surge of energy within his body that was different from before, and realized that the fruit was not as simple as he had imagined.

Now is not the time to test it. Zoroark suppressed his curiosity for the time being and prepared to see how much his evolution had changed and how much the fruit had altered him tomorrow.

Because of Zoroark's evolution, Xia Chen and the elves played and frolicked for quite a while.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Xia Chen, still immersed in the excitement of Zorua's evolution, remembered that there was a competition the next day.

After helping the elves wash up quickly, Xia Chen, who had been busy all day, soon fell asleep.

Starting tonight, the sleeping environment is a little warmer and more cramped...

…………

The next morning.

The opening ceremony of the main competition is being held in a lively atmosphere at the Liuhuo Arena in Funan City.

Despite the two-day break, the Donghuang Youth Trainer Competition has only become more popular than before.

There are two main reasons: first, the competition has transitioned from the preliminary rounds to the more exciting main event.

Secondly, the many amazing contestants who emerged in this competition were truly a pleasant surprise.

Besides Xia Chen, the youngest and most talked-about trainer, there's Hu Yang, touted as the strongest academic-style trainer in this competition; Lu Weiyu and Bai Mu, who are expected to perform exceptionally well and are strong contenders for the championship; and Red, the traveling trainer from the Kanto region, and his magical Pikachu...

Spring is when all flowers bloom.

From the audience's perspective, no one likes a genius who completely dominates and ultimately wins the championship.

Competitions like this one, where no one can predict who will reach the finals or who will win the championship, are the ones that generate the most buzz.

Following the passionate speech by the Chairman of the Donghuang Alliance, the main stage of the Donghuang Youth Trainer Competition officially began.

Xia Chen's opponent in the first round was unremarkable; he was a top-tier trainer from a prestigious university who had climbed up from the loser's bracket.
