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

Xia Chen, however, was not as relaxed as the audience; he had some selfish motives.

Although he had only known Guleton for less than two days, he quite liked this atypical legendary Pokémon that lacked any of the majesty of a divine beast.

Xia Chen didn't want to see it bullied by Millerton, or even, as it itself said, "annihilated."

But at the level above the championship, there's not much Xia Chen can do. The only thing he can do is help Milnerton recover his form as much as possible and pray that Milnerton will arrive later.

Xia Chen stared intently at the ship's radar display panel, his fingers unconsciously tapping the cockpit table.

There was still no unusual situation like yesterday, but the more this was the case, the more uneasy Xia Chen felt.

The arrival of Millardon, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, hung over Xia Chen's head like the Sword of Damocles, making it hard for him to breathe.

"sticky!"

In his moment of utter confusion, Nian Nian Bao suddenly shouted, and Xia Chen instinctively looked at the radar chart, but there was no change.

Why is it called Sticky Baby?

Sticky Treasure never speaks without reason, and Xia Chen immediately had a bad feeling.

Is it possible that Millerton could evade radar detection?

This conjecture came somewhat late, because the sudden opening of Gulliver's sharp eyes and the unprecedented solemnity on its face seemed to definitively confirm it...

Milerton, here we come!

…………

Outside the cabin.

The once clear and sunny sky suddenly darkened, becoming eerily gloomy, and the oppressive air seemed to foreshadow the arrival of some powerful being beyond the laws of nature.

The wild creatures of the ocean watched this scene with unease, and a powerful, almost imperceptible pressure, like air pressure, made them instinctively dive back underwater.

Meanwhile, the giant beaks and snowplows on the sea, unable to enter the water, flapped their wings and flew hurriedly into the distance.

Although they didn't know which powerful being had arrived or what would happen, the wild elves' survival instincts made them instinctively want to flee the area.

Before long, a deep purple bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the horizon. Unusually, there was no deafening thunder after the lightning flashed.

Accompanying it was a mysterious, technologically advanced spirit, its body crackling with electric light, resembling a lizard but more like a dragon.

It is entirely purple, and like the Moto Lizard and the Guleton, this elf also has a tire-like structure in front of it.

It has four pale purple horns on its head that resemble lightning bolts, and a tail the same color as lightning behind it that looks like an electric whip containing terrifying energy.

Its winding yet upright form, its godlike indifference, and the invisible pressure emanating from it all demonstrate the power of this elf.

Xia Chen looked at the elf standing in mid-air, seemingly from the future, and his face turned bitter.

The worst thing really happened; Milton appeared there without any warning.

Whether it has some ability to shield itself from radar detection, or is so fast that it is impossible for radar to detect it, is no longer important.

Importantly, this was less than half an hour after Xia Chen and Ye Ci finished their call.

In other words, reinforcements will take at least an hour to arrive, and likely longer.

They're still too arrogant... fantasizing that human technology can actually monitor the legendary elves' every move.

Xia Chen felt no regret, only reflection and contemplation.

[I've dragged you into this... I'm sorry, you should go. I'll stop it; its target is me, it won't chase you.]

Therefore, Leighton transmitted the message.

Xia Chen pursed his lips and replied, "Yes, thank you. And take care..."

He didn't mince words; one look at Millerton's imposing manner and he knew that this was something he and Senbu couldn't handle at all.

Staying here is useless except as cannon fodder, and there's a high chance of dying from Millerton's unknown area-of-effect attack.

Most of the elves were already inside the ball, but Xianbu stubbornly refused to score. Xia Chen had no choice but to carry her and run towards the place where the speedboat was moored.

However, at this moment, Milton's eyes narrowed in the sky, a flash of lightning appeared, and a deep purple electric net suddenly appeared, completely sealing off the sea area within a radius of several hundred meters around the yacht.

The gaps between the power grids were quite large, but it was absolutely impossible for Xia Chen to squeeze through them in a speedboat.

In other words, he's trapped here!

Xia Chen looked up in astonishment at Milton, which resembled a god in the sky, only to find that it had never glanced at him once, but had been staring at Milton with an unchanging expression.

Clearly, this power grid was designed to prevent Gullardon from escaping.

But at the same time, it also drove Xia Chen into a desperate situation!

Chapter 257 Deoxys is actually myself?! Henshin! (5k)

Looking at this inescapable net flashing with dangerous deep purple lightning, Xia Chen finally understood what it meant to have collateral damage when the city gate catches fire.

This move, which I don't know if it's an [electric grid], was clearly a trap meant to ensnare the true dragon Guleton, but it ended up locking itself, a mere shrimp, in here as well.

Xia Chen could only smile bitterly and sigh at the cruel twist of fate.

First, they failed to detect Millerton's arrival via radar, and then they were caught in the crossfire of Millerton's blockade. With all these unexpected events combined, they found themselves trapped in this cage.

Drive a speedboat and force your way out?

Xia Chen didn't have that kind of courage. This was something Milton had set up to trap Guleton, so its power must be astonishing.

The consequences of trespassing might very well be like the "Judgment Day" ship, which was cut up and dismantled in the Guzheng Project of The Three-Body Problem.

Although the chances of survival for those who stay behind don't seem much higher, at least one should die with some dignity. Xia Chen doesn't want to become Xia Chen-chan...

Despite this thought, he still clung to a sliver of hope and asked the fairy beside him.

"Bu...do you have any other ideas?"

The usually resourceful Doraemon is now in a state of near despair, and she has no way to deal with this situation that she never expected.

Xia Chen patted Xianbu's head to comfort her, remaining silent.

Perhaps because he had already spent a wonderful time in this world he had once dreamed of, Xia Chen was calmer than he had imagined when faced with a desperate situation that could almost kill him.

He didn't summon the other elves to question them as he had questioned Fairybear, because he knew that once they came out, the elves would never go back.

By remaining inside the Poké Ball, they might still have a sliver of hope for rescue.

The Rotom phone floated in the air, recording this despairing scene. Everyone in the live stream had long lost interest in watching the spectacle; instead, they were worried about Xia Chen's situation.

But what's the use of just worrying?

Let alone if they were thousands of miles away, even if they were right outside the power grid, rescuing Xia Chen would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Unless you're a trainer of Cynthia's caliber.

This situation is almost unsolvable.

…………

Above the sea, a fierce wind howled and dark clouds gathered.

The two elves stared at each other, their eyes locked in a cold, unwavering confrontation.

Milton, like a deity, stood silently beneath the dark clouds, with lightning bolts like serpents darting around him, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.

In comparison, the Gulliverton standing on the deck looked rather shabby, without the gusts of wind or the flashes of lightning, and its overall appearance was a level below its rival.

Although the art style was inferior, the momentum was not.

"Hoom!"

With a wild roar, the feathers on Guleton's head stood on end, demonstrating its overwhelming rage. The two long, whip-like pheasant feathers unfurled and transformed into long wings.

Therefore, Leton suddenly exerted force from its waist, causing its lower body to move. Its powerful leg muscles almost burst, and with a sinking of its waist, its body shot into the air like a rocket launch.

The weaker team, Leighton, launched the attack first!

Xia Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart as he watched Gu Leton deliberately drag the battlefield into the air.

He knew that Leighton had made this choice to protect himself.

The reason might be its guilt for dragging Xia Chen into the mire, or perhaps its pride.

In short, it made what was perhaps the most disastrous choice.

Judging from the destructive power displayed by Yveltal, there is an insurmountable gap between Elite Four level and Legendary Pokémon. The difference between them may even be greater than the difference between Xia Chen and Elite Four level Pokémon.

Although Milnerton is not at his peak, he is far from being a weak and limited opponent that Milnerton could easily exploit.

It stared indifferently at the rising orange-red meteor, its body motionless, only its whip-like tail crackling with restless, leaping electricity.

Milton's flight speed was already extremely fast, but the speed at which Milton's "lightning whip" lashed out was even faster than it could be seen with the naked eye.

Despite not blinking, Xia Chen, who was on high alert on the deck, still didn't see Milton use his move.

A dazzling light flashed, and bursts of electric energy were instantly released from Millerdon's electric tail, lashing out at the red meteor flying towards it.

boom--

The sound of the energy bursting was like rolling thunder, and even from a height of nearly a hundred meters, Xia Chen could clearly feel the residual power of this move.

Needless to say, Gu Leton, who was hit head-on by the lightning whip, was rendered helpless and fell freely downwards in a single exchange.

After a loud splash, Leighton had already sunk below the surface of the sea.

At this point, only a dozen seconds had passed since it launched its attack, and most of the time was spent in free fall after being hit.

This exaggerated scene was faithfully recorded by the Rotom phone during the live broadcast.

Xia Chen remained silent, causing an uproar in the live stream.

…………

"Wait, that purple motorcycle lizard's strength... is just too outrageous, isn't it?"

"Based on my years of experience watching matches, I can tell that Red Motorola is definitely at least at the Elite Four level, more than capable of being the main Pokémon for the weaker champions. But... it was defeated by Purple Motorola in one move. Its strength is definitely far beyond that of a Champion!"

"Just in terms of the sheer power of this move, even Cynthia's Garchomp using Meteor Shower is far inferior. It's about time the League added another tier above Champion level, isn't it?"

"The current ceiling performance is definitely Yveltal, this mysterious elf is much worse."

"Why do they look so alike? The orange-red one is so much weaker!"

"It's probably still injured. It was receiving treatment from Sylveon and Gardevoir in the cabin earlier."
