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

"Every week during video conferences, all they do is complain about this. I'm sick of it. All I want to do is sit back and collect my bonuses... Holy crap, how is this Ghost Zoroark so powerful? Do the designers even know how to balance this?!"

"Ha, you have the nerve to say that? You've turned Dragapult, such a powerful offensive Pokémon, into a complete mess."

"..."

Chapter 235 Swimsuit Cynthia Limited Edition (5k)

"Waaah~"

Can you hear me?

In a live stream titled "[The Champion Spends the New Year with You]", the screen suddenly lit up.

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

The camera footage showed Xia Chen's empty room, with the faint silhouettes of a few elves visible in the background.

Upon seeing the announcement, the fans who had been chatting in the live stream room for a while instantly went wild.

"Here he comes! Master Pigeon is finally live streaming! Happy New Year to all the Pigeons! Wait a minute, does today really really mean it's New Year's Day..."

"Broadcasting twice a year, once at the beginning of the year and once at the end of the year, you're really something, you cooing pigeon, do you think you're the Spring Festival Gala?"

"The main character is a big star now and has long wanted to sever ties with us mouse fans!"

"If you're not going to broadcast for six months, then you can broadcast for six months after you start, right?"

"The assistant can just say a few words, hurry up and call out the streamers Sylvanas and Gardevoir!"

"Zoroyak? Soroyak? Soroyak?"

As soon as Xia Chen appeared, the paid comments in the live stream chat started scrolling by densely.

Xia Chen, who had just adjusted the camera angle, appeared at the perfect moment, looking exceptionally handsome today.

"Thank you all for the New Year's red envelopes! I'd like to bow to you all first!"

Xia Chen has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong. He is a good trainer when battling, a good cook when cooking, and of course a good streamer when live streaming.

What makes a good streamer... naturally, it's making the audience happy.

Although the amount of money from the tips was nothing to him, he still happily interacted with his fans.

For example, right now, he leans close to the screen and pretends to read the comments, "Hey streamer, what happened to your neck?"

Xia Chen casually picked up the blue silk hanging around his neck and introduced it in a serious tone: "What? This is not chocolate, it's a championship medal."

Fans were thrilled to see Xia Chen being silly and unpredictable from the very first episode.

"He understands live streaming, and I would call Master Pigeon the Cynthia of the live streaming world."

"Who asked you?! (Annoyed)"

"Master, Master, I haven't heard your story of winning the Eastern Glory Youth Trainer Tournament for a full three minutes. I feel like ants are crawling all over me!"

"Almost there, that's enough (sweating soybeans)."

…………

After cracking a little joke to lighten the mood, Xia Chen coughed lightly and officially began the New Year's Eve live stream.

"As everyone knows, I'm a food-related content creator on YouTube, so this live stream will mainly focus on cooking and chatting. Since it's Chinese New Year, I'll be spending the holiday with everyone."

As he spoke, Xia Chen raised the camera and walked towards the door.

It's 3 PM now, and dinner is around 6 or 7 PM. At his speed, it definitely wouldn't take him that long to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, but he also has to keep up with interacting and chatting with the audience.

As the live stream camera passed through the living room, it also caught a glimpse of the elves lounging at home.

At that moment, they were playing an eight-player game of Pokémon Kill, looking quite engrossed. Xia Chen was worried that they might get so excited that they would flip the table.

At that point, let alone their own homes, they might not even be able to demolish enough houses for their neighbors.

Fortunately, the elves have strong self-control; they would rather talk than fight.

However, Xia Chen always felt a little scared whenever he saw Little Dragon slamming his fist on the table and roaring at Garchomp.

Goodness, they really are like newborn calves unafraid of sharks...

The two Pokémon that weren't playing weren't being ostracized; they were Roserade and Gardevoir who were helping Xia Chen make dinner.

When the girls who were watching the card game saw Xia Chen come downstairs, they all sensibly came over, ready to help the head chef in the kitchen.

Viewers who saw these unexpected Pokémon started typing question marks in the comments, because it was obvious to everyone that they were Pokémon other than Xia Chen's own.

Garchomp, Glaceon, Lucario, Gastrodon...aren't these Cynthia's Pokémon?

Thus, a conclusion naturally emerged.

"Xirona is at Xia Chen's house now?!"

There were simply too many paid comments on this issue, and Xia Chen couldn't possibly ignore or brush it off, especially since he hadn't originally intended to brush it off anyway.

Cynthia will definitely be on camera during dinner, so it's better to just say it openly now.

"Well, Sister Zhulan happened to be traveling in Donghuang. I thought it was quite dangerous for a girl to be out there alone, so I volunteered to be her tour guide. That's about it."

…………

The moment those shameless words were uttered, the live chat exploded.

"Hmm...Cynthia...dangerous...How could you say something like that, you shameless old scoundrel!"

Garchomp: Ah yes, yes, yes!

"You've taken your travels to your own home, haven't you? Master Pigeon, you're utterly wicked!"

"This is so inspiring, guys! This time last year, Pigeon Master was still commentating on Cynthia's Masters 8 tournament on his live stream, and today Cynthia is celebrating the New Year at his house!"

"Holy crap, it really is true. I remember Cynthia gave Pigeon Master a lot of gifts back then. Now she's got both money and beauty."

"So that's what the 'champion' in the live stream title '[Champion Celebrates the New Year with You]' means? Wow, a world champion, that's impressive!"

Where is Cynthia? Where is she?

The relationship between Xia Chen and Cynthia had been foreshadowed, so while most fans would still go crazy over Cynthia coming to Xia Chen's house for the Lunar New Year, there wasn't as much surprise in their comments.

While washing and chopping vegetables to prepare, Xia Chen chatted with the viewers in the live chat.

"Thanks to [Mili Dragon Who Wants to Be a Pigeon Master] for the 100 Ultra Balls. Where did Cynthia go?"

"Uh, just a heads-up, guys, don't come up with anything too ridiculous. I may not have been to the Parthian region, but I do know about Milion."

"Then Sister Zhulan swims upstairs and will come down when it's time to eat."

"Thank you [Kanto's Most Affectionate] for the ten beautiful scales! Could you show us around your house, preferably with a swimming pool... No way! Don't even think about it!"

"Thank you... [Mingyi] for the ten Cold Rocks... How was your New Year's mood this year... Uh, not bad, not bad... It's just that I feel a little empty inside because there's one less person here."

"Thanks...[Aroma Girl] for the 100 Flame Orbs...Why can the third-ranked person go to the streamer's house for a free meal but the first-ranked person can't...Uh, you're welcome anytime."

"Thank you [I will always love Sylveon] for the 100 valuable balls. Dove Master, do you have any travel plans for next year? Will you come to the Alola region?...Yes, I will travel to the Padilla region next year. As for Alola, I will definitely go, but not in the near future."

…………

For some reason, Xia Chen's palms were sweating and his limbs were ice cold while he was eating this meal.

The perceptive Gardevoir noticed that something was wrong with the trainer, so she walked up behind Xia Chen, leaned against his back, and gently massaged his temples to relieve his mental distress.

Gardevoir is already tall, and this movement makes it look like Xia Chen is nestled in her arms like a little bird.

If there were no outsiders, Xia Chen might have actually enjoyed it, but there was a camera right in front of him, filming his face, and behind that camera was a live stream watched by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people...

Even with Xia Chen's thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

With a struggle in his heart, Xia Chen pulled away from Gardevoir's embrace and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, the dishes are almost ready, let's start cooking!"

"I won't chat too much while I'm cooking, and you can stop posting paid comments now. Don't waste your money. Just watch and learn. This is cooking skill that can conquer world champions."

Xia Chen has indeed started to focus on cooking, but the fans are not listening to the streamer and keep sending SC (fans' comments) and tips.

They either deliberately ask silly questions to stir things up, or they tease Xia Chen about his love life, their main point being to be rebellious.

Xia Chen got annoyed by what he heard, so he simply told Gardevoir to take the camera and leave the kitchen to film the Pokémon playing Pokémon Kill, so he wouldn't be bothered by what he heard.

Little did he know, this move played right into the hands of the viewers in the live stream...

In the living room, a tense and exciting 4v4 battle of Pokémon Kill is underway.

Elf Slayer is the world's most popular competitive board game, widely praised and thriving due to its ease of learning, high replayability, and strong entertainment value.

The rules of the game are simple: each player chooses an identity card with different spirit skills as their main character, and then equips themselves by drawing basic cards, item cards, skill cards, enhancement cards, and other cards to defeat enemies and win.

In the 4v4 mode, each side has a leader Pokémon leading three regular Pokémon in a battle. The side whose leader Pokémon is defeated first loses.

Although the elves could easily be divided into teams based on Xia Chen and Cynthia's factions, for the sake of fun, they were divided into two entirely new teams by playing rock-paper-scissors.

One side consists of a lineup led by Sylveon, Zoroark, Milotic (mother), and Glaceon.

On the other side is a lineup led by Garchomp, including Dragapult, Milotic (male), and Gastrodon.

When Gardevoir came out with the camera, the card table was already occupied by Sylveon and Glaceon, facing off against Garchomp and Dragapult in a 2v2 endgame.

…………

The petite Draco Messia lay on the cards, deep in thought, like the guardian spirit of the Draco Balto Spirit card she used.

He stared at his pair of bright yellow, light bulb-like eyes, observing the four cards in his hand that were neatly suspended in front of him, manipulated by the power of the ghost, as if he were performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

There's no time limit for face-to-face games, so everyone's main focus is on having fun.

Finally, after the four cards circled around Little Dragon several times, they suddenly stopped, and then Little Dragon Messiah shouted loudly, "Messi! (My turn, draw a card!)"

Two cards flew off the top of the deck and were added to Dorgonmesia's hand.

Looking at the six cards in his hand, Dorgonmesia's eyes widened, revealing a glint of wisdom, and then he began to play.

"Messi! (My turn, I use the item cards [Spirit Cloth] and [Curse Symbol] to create the field card [Spirit Realm], overwriting the original [Fairy Aura]! From this moment on, all Ghost-type skill cards on the field have their damage increased by 100%!)"

A sinister, ghostly aura rose from the bottom of the card and permeated the entire card table.

It's not that the board game is actually that advanced, but rather that Little Dragon released Ghost-type energy while immersing himself in the game of Pokémon Kill...

Seeing this unique way of playing Pokémon Kill, the viewers in the live stream were stunned, and the screen was filled with "6"s.

Little Dragon continues to show off his skills.
