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

He gradually realized that this mythical beast's head was like a tiger's rear end—you couldn't touch it...

"sticky--"

Just as Xia Chen was feeling a bit scared, he suddenly heard Goomy's voice coming from the doorway. Turning around, he saw Goomy and Gardevoir standing at the door, as if they wanted to say something.

Xia Chen was no stranger to the worried look on Nian Nian Bao's face; she had shown the same expression before Gu Le Dun arrived yesterday!

Could it be...?

"You have companions?"

Xia Chen turned to look at Gu Leton and asked.

Therefore, Leighton was taken aback, not understanding what Xia Chen meant by those words.

“My little sticky baby had a vague feeling about this before you came yesterday, so I guessed that you might have a companion coming over?”

Xia Chen was unaware of the seriousness of the problem at that moment.

However, upon hearing this, Gu Leton's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Xia Chen could see that Gu Leton's eyes contained anger and tension at this moment.

And the fear that he desperately tried to hide!

Xia Chen's expression instantly turned solemn; he seemed to understand something.

Googo had a premonition that what was about to happen might be something that would leave the legendary Pokémon Gorodon in such a sorry state, and that it might even have become food for the Light Cod!

So Leighton suddenly got up and walked towards the door, it was unclear whether he wanted to leave or do something else.

However, judging from its still somewhat swaying body, it is clear that its body has not fully recovered.

Xia Chen quickly grabbed Gu Leton, "Given your current physical condition, what are you going to do?"

Therefore, Leighton slightly exerted his strength to break free from Xia Chen's hand, did not reply, and simply continued forward.

However, Gardevoir stood in the way. Xia Chen did not want Gu Leton to leave, so she would carry out his will.

"Gu Le!"

Therefore, instead of making a move, Leighton let out a roar that was so loud that the objects in the room shook.

But Gardevoir stood firmly in front of it, refusing to back down.

Xia Chen didn't want the conflict to escalate, so he said in a deep voice, "Gu Leton, listen to me. The sea area we are in now is far from the land, and there are no islands within ten nautical miles. I can help you."

Xia Chen took out a Poké Ball and said sincerely, "Once you enter the Poké Ball, that Pokémon shouldn't be able to find you. We'll be returning to the continent of Padia tomorrow, and by then your health should be much better, so you can leave directly. You know, the Poké Ball can't hold you back."

Therefore, Leighton turned his head and stared at Xia Chen expressionlessly.

[It's no use. I was caught by a Poké Ball before, and that Poké Ball wasn't damaged.]

A deep and solemn voice suddenly resounded in Xia Chen's mind. Undoubtedly, this telepathic connection came from Gu Leton.

"You can read minds?"

Xia Chen was both surprised and delighted. Language is undoubtedly the most efficient way to communicate, so if Leighton can communicate telepathically, everything will be much more convenient.

Why didn't it use telepathy before? Was it disdainful?

Xia Chen secretly grumbled to himself.

However, now is not the time to consider this issue. He understood what Guleton meant: the Poké Ball that captured Guleton was not destroyed, which meant that it could not be taken into any other Poké Ball.

Therefore, Leighton had no interest in answering this idiotic question and continued to transmit its voice.

[Millardon's strength is beyond your and your elves' capabilities. If you don't want to die, let me go.]

Millerton...

Xia Chen pondered for a moment.

…………

As can be heard from their names, Guleton and Milton are definitely closely related.

If the Padia region were the world of the ninth generation of Pokémon games, these two might be the cover duo.

Sinbu once said that Milton is the ancient paradoxical species of the Motolizard, so Milton is... the future paradoxical species of the Motolizard?

That's probably how it is most likely.

In other words, Milton is a legendary Pokémon whose strength is no less than that of Guleton, if both of them are at their peak.

After a moment's thought, Xia Chen asked, "Do you know the conventional power levels we humans use for Pokémon? Like Gym Leader, Elite Four, and Champion."

Therefore, Leighton frowned slightly.

[I know. Just say what you want to say quickly. That guy is just as fast as me. You don't have much time.]

Xia Chen nodded and asked very quickly, "I want to know, what are your current strengths and Milton's current strengths?"

Since Milton's strength has been greatly reduced, Xia Chen believes that Milton is also very likely not at his peak.

If that Milton's current strength doesn't exceed that of a Celestial King, then there might still be a chance to delay and call for reinforcements.

[I'm currently at the Champion level, Milton... although I'm much weaker than in my prime, I've still surpassed the Champion level.]

Therefore, Leighton's answer made Xia Chen frown.

Surpassing the champion level... that's not good news.

While the Champion level is the highest level of Pokémon set by humans, it is far from the level that Pokémon can truly reach.

This point has been a consensus in human society ever since Yveltal awakened and caused unimaginable harm.

In the public discourse that followed, most people accepted that there were "legendary Pokémon" above the champion level, although this was not officially recognized.

Therefore, Leighton's statement that "it is far from its peak, but it still surpasses the Champion level" illustrates that the Legendary Beast level is just a simple and general classification.

Xia Chen, the time traveler, could completely understand this, because in the game of his previous life, even legendary elves were classified into several types based on their background and racial stats, such as first-level gods, second-level gods, and mythical beasts.

In short, the only thing that can be confirmed right now is that Milton's current strength is definitely not as devastating as Yveltal was back then, but it is not something that an ordinary champion trainer can handle.

Ordinary ones won't do, so how about Cynthia...?

No, no, this is too dangerous. We absolutely cannot involve her.

Xia Chen immediately suppressed the thought as soon as it arose in his mind.

So, who else can handle this guy?

At least Yveltal could hold out until Xerneas came to punish him, but this time, the only one who could rival him, Guleton, is in such a sorry state...

This is difficult...

…………

"Anyway, let's go to the cockpit first. The radar there can monitor things within a ten-nautical-mile radius. We detected your presence a little over a minute before you arrived yesterday."

Running was definitely not faster than that guy, so Leighton had no other choice but to agree to Xia Chen's suggestion for the time being.

"Gardevoir, go to the deck and call Mingyi and the others. They need to hide inside first..."

Xia Chen originally wanted to hide in the cabin, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that hiding anywhere wouldn't make a difference to a Pokémon whose strength surpassed that of a champion.

Rubbing his temples, Xia Chen said helplessly, "Let's fill up the gas tanks on a few speedboats. If necessary, we can just run away."

"Sana..."

Gardevoir responded with a worried sigh, then headed towards the deck.

Xia Chen then led Gu Leton and Nian Nian Bao towards the cockpit.

The good news is that, perhaps because Sticky Treasure reported the news earlier today, the ship's radar has not yet shown any unidentified sprites approaching at supersonic speeds as it did yesterday. This gives Xia Chen time to think of other solutions.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen asked, "Gu Leton, you all came from Sector Zero, do you have any ideas on how to deal with it?"

Therefore, Leighton smiled dismissively, "[If such a thing existed, would we be here?]"

Xia Chen was somewhat skeptical, "Then why were you caught in the goal?"

Leighton was momentarily speechless, remaining silent for several seconds before replying: [Stop asking.]

Xia Chen had no choice but to seek help from the outside world.

Herona Shachen didn't want to look for one, but he didn't have as much pressure to find a local champion in Padia.

After all, this incident happened within the territory of Padiya, and she should be responsible for it.

Finding the champion, Ye Ci, was also easy; she was the chairperson of Orange Academy, and Clavel definitely had her contact information.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen placed Nian Nian Bao on the control panel and instructed, "Nian Nian Bao, you watch the radar here and call me immediately if there is any news."

"sticky!"

Sticky Baby nodded solemnly in response.

Xia Chen then ran outside to call Claver.

The call was quickly connected, and Clavel's somewhat surprised voice came from the other end.

"Xia Chen, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Shouldn't you be live-streaming with Qi Shu?"

How come this old man knows so much about his own affairs... Could he be a fan of his, or... a fan of Qishu?

None of them seem quite proper...

However, now is not the time to delve into this. Xia Chen quickly explained, "I have discovered something very important that I need to report to Champion Ye Ci."

Given Xia Chen's past, Claver trusted him quite a bit, and without saying a word, he gave Xia Chen Ye Ci's private number.

"Is it a serious elven riot? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Claver asked seriously.

"There is no threat to the continent of Padia. Thank you for your help. The situation is urgent, so I'll go find Champion Yeci first."

…………

After hanging up with Claver, Xia Chen immediately dialed Ye Ci's number.

The Padilla champion was probably not watching the live stream like Claver, as it took him more than ten seconds to get through.
