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

As if he didn't see the frost on the girl's face, which was even colder than the weather, he waved enthusiastically and called out, "Mingyi! Over here!"

However, the girl ignored him and walked straight past him like a cold wind.

The boy instantly transformed into a Fire Steel with four times the resistance to ice, and followed behind her with Gardevoir, shamelessly engaging in a one-way conversation with her.

"It takes about six or seven hours to fly here from Patiala, doesn't it? Isn't it tiring?"

"Is airplane food awful? I bought lots of your favorite dishes this morning!"

"Did you see the news about my victory? Were you surprised? Is that... Nemo you mentioned, as good as me?"

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to catch a Rhyssoid? Did you catch it yet? My second pseudo-legendary Goomy is almost hatched."

He kept nagging on and on, and even the older woman traveling with him couldn't stand it anymore.

The older woman glanced at the boy with the disdainful look one would give a sycophant, then asked the girl with concern, "Young lady, do you want me to call the police for you?"

"Cuck!"

The Psyduck next to the older woman also covered its head and cried out, seemingly trying to express something.

The boy quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I won't say anymore."

After saying that, he slowed down with a wronged expression, following the girl at a distance.

The older woman glanced suspiciously at the hesitant-looking girl, then suddenly realized that the young couple was probably having a tiff. Feeling awkward, she quickly pulled the Psyduck who was watching the commotion beside her away.

…………

"Gardedoll, do you think Mingyi is really angry or just pretending?"

Xia Chen tugged at the hem of Gardevoir's skirt and asked in a low voice.

Although he himself has superpowers, he is definitely not as good as Gardevoir, which is known as the "emotional Pokémon," when it comes to judging emotions.

"Sana..."

Gardevoir nodded with concern.

Xia Chen lowered his head and sighed.

"Ugh, this is tricky... I have no choice but to resort to some underhanded tactics. Gardevoir, do me a favor..."

Xia Chen leaned close to Gardevoir and whispered in its ear.

Gardevoir nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Gardevoir..."

……

Mingyi also couldn't understand what she was thinking.

She felt she didn't want to see Xia Chen's face, and even regretted telling him about her return so soon.

But when Xia Chen actually came to pick her up at the airport, she clearly felt that a sprout in her heart had pierced through the ice and snow.

Honestly, if he cares so much about me, why is he so close to that woman...?

Mingyi recalled the numerous rumors circulating about Xia Chen and Xilona over the past few months.

Although she had no grounds to be angry, she still felt a little wronged and jealous.

It was me, it was me first... I was the one who arrived first.

Whether you get to know him or fall in love with him...

Why is this happening?

For the first time, I had someone I liked, and for the first time, I had an idol I admired so much.

Two happy things came together, and what they gained should have been a blissful, dreamlike time...

But why did it turn out this way?

Lost in thought, Mingyi suddenly felt a light tap on her shoulder.

I don't need to think to know which bastard thought he could get my forgiveness this way.

Don't even think about it!

Mingyi snorted inwardly and continued walking forward without wavering.

Unexpectedly, the guy behind him was still restless and this time put his hand directly on his shoulder.

Mingyi was furious. Did she really think she had no temper at all?

She turned around, about to raise her hand to punch Xia Chen twice, when she suddenly realized that the person standing behind her was not Xia Chen, but Gardevoir.

Mingyi almost choked on her breath. This wasn't just a punch hitting cotton; it was a feeling of pent-up anger with nowhere to vent.

"Damn it... using Gardevoir as a shield?"

She raised her fist, preparing to bypass Gardevoir and deliver a couple of punches to Xia Chen to vent her anger.

But when she turned her gaze, what awaited her behind Gardevoir was a bouquet of beautifully blooming white roses.

Mingyi's favorite flower.

……

Clusters of pure white roses crowded together, blooming all over the place, while red stamens dotted the white winter coat like inlaid red agates, charming and touching.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from above the bouquet, and Mingyi subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

But just then, a pinkish-purple energy ball exploded in the icy sky like a firework, and the goose-feather-like white snowflakes met with the pinkish-purple fairy-type energy in the air, miraculously merging into pink crystals that were as enchanting as light, which then drifted down gracefully.

Crystal, snowflakes, and white roses intertwine harmoniously, like a silent poem.

Seeing this unexpected surprise, Mingyi was momentarily stunned.

The anger in my heart subsided at some point, but instead brewed a sweet feeling as sweet as honey.

But it would be too awkward to raise her fist without swinging it, so she could only weakly punch Xia Chen in the chest with two soft punches.

It's not very harmful, but it's very flirtatious.

To justify those two punches, she said coquettishly, "Letting Gardevoir unleash its moves randomly on the street, do you think this is a grand contest?!"

Xia Chen smiled slightly, about to say a high-class love quote to end this surprise, when a delicate shout suddenly came from beside him.

"You're right, so come with me!"

The two turned around in surprise. By the roadside, the dashing Officer Jenny was looking at Xia Chen with a serious expression, accompanied by a Growlithe.

"You have violated Article 46 of the Pokémon Management and Punishment Law by inciting Pokémon to use moves in public. We need you and Gardevoir to come with us."

Mingyi: "......"

I guessed the beginning, but I never expected the ending.

Wait, I didn't expect that at the beginning either...

Seeing Xia Chen, who was sitting on Officer Jenny's police motorcycle and still looked back at her pitifully, Mingyi chuckled.

It's like a white rose blooming in the snow.

…………

"Name?"

"Xia Chen".

"gender?"

"male..."

"age?"

"Seventeen years old, a student."

This was Xia Chen's first time entering a police station in both his past and present lives. Looking at the Blue Emperor sitting opposite him, staring at him fiercely, he shifted his buttocks uncomfortably on the hard bench.

Miss Officer Jenny asked in surprise, "Oh, you're still a minor? Do you know what you've done?"

Xia Chen answered honestly, "I know... I instructed Gardevoir to use Glitter in public, Officer Jenny. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

"Hmm, a minor, first offense, showed good remorse, and the harm caused is minimal..."

Miss Officer Jenny muttered to herself as she scribbled on the paper.

"It's nothing serious. After a reprimand, we'll notify your guardian to come and take you away."

Having already guessed this condition, Xia Chen said helplessly, "Miss Officer Jenny, my parents are missing, and I live alone."

The kind-hearted Officer Jenny was quite taken aback and quickly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry..."

Xia Chen replied weakly, "It's nothing, I'm used to it..."

There was a sudden knock on the door of the communication room, and someone outside said, "Xia Chen, someone has come to pick you up."

Ms. Officer Jenny smiled slightly. "It must be your girlfriend picking you up. You can go now. Remember not to pull these kinds of surprises on the main street next time. Also, don't make your girlfriend angry."

Xia Chen didn't provoke any trouble by saying anything like "she's not my girlfriend," and obediently nodded before walking out the door under Blue Emperor's fierce gaze.

Outside the police station.

Mingyi punched Xia Chen in the chest again, annoyed. "Was Miss Officer Jenny's tea good?"

Xia Chen feigned pain, clutching his chest. "Hey, you dare to hit someone right in front of the police station? Does Patia have no laws?"

Mingyi gave a soft snort, "Enough nonsense, Miss Officer Jenny doesn't manage the household..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized that something was amiss, so she quickly pulled back from the brink and changed the subject.

"By the way, has Miss Hirona left?"

Mingyi's tone was extremely unnatural, as if the name was something untouchable.

Xia Chen answered naturally, "Yes, I left a few days ago."

"Oh..."

Mingyi didn't know what to say.

The two remained silent, leaving two clear sets of footprints in the snow.

…………

Finally, Mingyi broke the silence.
