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

A membership fee of 100 million... why am I suddenly tempted?

"I would like to ask you for help in disbanding them."

However, the truth was completely opposite to Xia Chen's guess, as the person on the other end of the phone said.

"This is good too," Xia Chen thought, his eyes lighting up.

Since I've already promised Nemo to reorganize the Celestial Star team, I might as well take on another mission while I'm at it—two birds with one stone!

…………

Although he was quite excited, Xia Chen still asked in a calm tone, "I'd like to hear your plan first."

The Cassiopeia Queen was clearly very familiar with the Celestial Star Team. She explained, "The core of the Celestial Star Team consists of five gangs, whose bases are distributed throughout various parts of Padia. Once the five gangs disband, the Celestial Star Team will be defunct in name only."

"The plan is simple: you challenge the leaders of the five gangs. The rule of the Tianxing team is that whoever succeeds in the challenge becomes the new leader. What you need to do is become the new leader and then disband the gangs."

Justified and convincing.

Xia Chen glanced silently at Nemo, who was nodding frequently beside him.

Now that's what a plan should be!

Unlike you, who just picked a name for the project, and it's so corny.

Nemo put one hand on her hip, scratched her head, and stuck out her tongue. Her bold and cute actions didn't seem out of place at all.

On the other end of the phone, Cassiopeia continued, "I've named this plan [Operation Stardust]! For every branch base I destroy, I'll transfer 20 million to your account, so don't worry about me delaying payment."

"I understand. So, when is the first operation scheduled?"

"It's up to you. Just let me know before you take action, and I'll provide remote assistance. However, they are very strong, and with the modified Tianxing Team vehicles, some of their leaders are close to gym level. You need to be careful."

Dojo level...

This is quite a challenge for me right now.

Xia Chen pondered for a moment.

For a student, this is indeed a very strong level of ability.

You'd probably only find students like those at schools like Orange Academy, which have no age restrictions.

"I'll send you the information on all the leaders in a bit. Let's end our first contact here."

"Understood, goodbye boss!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the dial tone sounded.

It seems that Cassiopeia has already hung up the phone.

After putting down Rotom's phone, Xia Chen fell into thought.

I've only just arrived in the Padia region and just obtained the Rotom phone when someone comes knocking on my door. Isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?

This made him think of the strange girl he had met that morning, the one carrying an Eevee backpack.

Could it be her?

Who do you think this Cassiopeia will be?

Nemo was also thinking about this question.

Xia Chen shook his head. "I don't know, but I think she's trustworthy."

Nemo asked疑惑地问道, "Why? Is it because it aligns with our goals? Or is it because it offered you a high price?"

"neither."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Because there are no bad people who like Eevee."

…………

"A message has come from Loto! A message has come from Loto!"

The message notification sound from Rotom's phone interrupted their speculation. At this time, it should be the message from the leaders of the Celestial Star team that Cassiopeia just mentioned, right?

Xia Chen and Nimo leaned close to the phone screen, looking at the information that had just been sent.

Nemo read the information aloud: "Fire type...Meloco, Poison type...Akira, Fairy type...Ordiga, Fighting type...Bipa, Dark type...Pina!"

Nemo's voice became noticeably excited when she read out the last name.

"Pina...how could it be him?"

Xia Chen asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this person? Do you know him?"

Nemo's expression was unusually serious. She said in a deep voice, "Pina is the former student council president of Orange Academy."

"The former student council president?" Xia Chen murmured, repeating.

A student council president has fallen to the status of a street gang leader... What exactly happened to him?

Nemo said slowly, "When I first enrolled, I received a lot of help from senior Pina. Although he sets a lot of rules that are annoying, he is actually a very trustworthy person. I... want to ask him in person why he joined the Celestial Star Team."

Xia Chen respected Nemo's choice, "Then you'll handle Pina?"

Nemo nodded and said, "Yes, thank you. By the way, I won't take your 20 million bounty."

Xia Chen was shocked. They didn't even want 20 million? What kind of family background do they have?

Do you own a mine?

As Xia Chen was reminiscing, Nemo added, "By the way, the school will be launching a treasure hunt soon. Students will be able to travel freely throughout Padia to find their treasures. We can take this opportunity to make our move."

"Okay, you arrange it."

Xia Chen nodded without hesitation.

The two discussed their battle plan, and before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

Xia Chen glanced at his phone and just then received a message from Mingyi.

"Mingyi just finished class, want to go eat together?"

Nemo's eyes lit up. "Did you make this?"

Xia Chen nodded reluctantly, but he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

As expected, Nemo clasped her hands together and stared at Xia Chen with her bright, expectant eyes.

"Can I bring my elves with me?"

Xia Chen sighed.

Three people and a dozen or so elves—they should just switch careers and become cafeteria cooks...

Chapter 246 The Supernatural Incident at the Elf Restaurant in Brewlight City (6k words, requesting monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)

It was 1 p.m. in Xia Chen's temporary dormitory.

After finishing their "housewarming party," the three chatted on the sofa while the elves played and frolicked inside the house.

Fairy and Little Dragon were quite outgoing, and soon they were playing around with Nemo's newly acquainted elves.

As mentioned before the meal, Nemo really didn't hold back and brought all six of her Pokémon over to freeload.

Fortunately, the dormitory that Claver lent out was quite large; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to accommodate more than a dozen elves playing together in the living room.

Nemo is not a type-specific trainer.

Besides Babutopril, who is an Electric/Fighting Pokémon, her other Pokémon include the Padia starter Meowth, the Steel-type Worgen, the Daytime form of Lycanroc, the evolved form of the Earth Dragon brother that Xia Chen only met in this world, Earth Dragon Fragment, and Goodra.

With six Pokémon possessing a total of eight attributes, he truly deserves the title of multi-attribute trainer.

With his mental abilities becoming increasingly sharp, Xia Chen can now almost judge the strength of an elf just by its aura.

As the leading young trainer at Orange Academy and even the entire Padia region, Nemo's strength is undeniable.

Roughly estimated, the strongest of them, Magic Masked Cat, is definitely at least three-star elite level.

In other words, if they were placed in this year's Donghuang Youth Tournament, they would basically be at a level where they would dominate.

Of course, this is just theory, after all, Xia Chen also defeated several opponents who seemed to be much stronger than him in the competition.

Xia Chen increasingly felt that traveling more was the right choice. The ranking competition within Beijing University was almost no challenge for him now, unless he was ranked against Hu Yang.

But you get tired of fighting the same opponent too often. New regions mean new adventures, new opponents, and new Pokémon.

Thinking this, Xia Chen suddenly felt a strange sense of anticipation for challenging the gang leaders of the Tianxing team.

…………

"Speaking of which, the [treasure hunt] activity for this semester is probably going to start next week. Last semester, the [treasures] you found were the Earth King and the Liangji Dragon. What are your goals this time, Mingyi?"

Nemo seemed to have feelings for Mingyi that went beyond what a senior should do for a junior, and asked with concern.

"Yes, I think I'd like to start trying out a gym."

Mingyi tapped her chin with her finger, pondering for a moment.

"As for the treasure..."

Her gaze swept somewhere, and she paused slightly. "I have a goal too, but I can't tell you that."

"alright."

Nemo, being a carefree person, didn't delve into the matter. She turned around and hooked her arm around Xia Chen's shoulder, asking, "Xia Chen, what about you?"

Xia Chen calmly removed Nemo's arm and replied, "Me? I'm not a student of your Orange Academy."

Nemo patiently pressed on, "It doesn't matter. Don't you want to gain anything from your trip?"

Without hesitation, Xia Chen retorted, "Isn't the growth and experience gained from the journey itself the greatest reward?"

"Well..."

Nemo nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling. "I see. I'll use this answer next time the principal asks me this question!"

Xia Chen was speechless. So that's why this guy kept asking...

As the three were chatting, another call came in from their Rotom cell phones.

Another Cassiopeia?
