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

He feared that those mysterious individuals had planted a listening device on him or sent some elf to monitor him, so he didn't reveal his trump card.

But Xia Chen also understood that since they dared to come, they must have been prepared to face the king-level Gu Leton.

So, are they prepared to face Deoxys?

Xia Chen touched the crystal core of Deoxys in his pocket, and the latter responded with a brainwave indicating that it understood.

In any case, with Deoxys in hand, it would be unreasonable to be cowardly.

Running away and backing down here will never solve anything; it will only provoke those rats in the gutter to come and tear you apart.

They can choose to make their own way here, but isn't this also the perfect place for them to meet their end?

Therefore, regardless of whether they are genuine elf poachers or members of some dark organization, they must be eliminated here as a warning to others.

…………

Just as Xia Chen was making up his mind, he suddenly felt Gardevoir reach out and touch him.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Chen's heart stirred slightly, but he asked calmly.

He remembered that before Guleton came last month, she seemed to have touched him, and then learned a lot about Guleton.

There is reason to suspect that this is her ability to foresee the future.

Gardevoir slowly opened its eyes, its expression a mixture of shock and anger.

She said in a low voice, "Sanai... (They... tampered with those two Doronmesias. When we 'defeat' those 'poachers' and go to rescue the unconscious Doronmesias, they will... explode and release a violently toxic gas...)"

Xia Chen was suddenly startled. He had considered the possibility that the other side would lay a trap of elves, or even use firearms to ambush them, but he never expected that they would transform the elves into self-destructing biological weapons...

He understood the group's entire battle plan.

First, plant poison gas bombs inside the two Draco Messians, then track them and make the two unsuspecting Draco Messians stage a scene of poachers capturing Pokémon right in front of them.

Then, according to their script, they would arrive on their own, either Guleton or, without Guleton, simply with the help of Sinbu and the others, and thus "defeat" them and save Doronmesia.

Then, while rescuing the two Doron Mesias, he pressed the detonation button for the poison gas bomb... How could an ordinary human like himself withstand it?

Xia Chen tried his best to keep his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil, and the flames of anger kept expanding and burning.

If it weren't for Gardevoir's premonition and warning, I would never have imagined that those people would have such ruthless and insidious methods.

He was alright because he had the Crystal Core of Deoxys as a trump card, but what if Gardevoir or Sylveon had been around him at that time...

A chill ran through Xia Chen's heart, followed by boundless rage and a determination to crush them.

Such methods could never be devised by an ordinary elf poaching group.

Without a doubt, this is something only those notorious dark groups could do.

Team Plasma is unlikely to be involved; their mission is to liberate the Elves, and they are unlikely to do something so inhumane.

So, is it the Rockets? Or the Galaxy?

Or perhaps... Team Flare?

…………

[Greetton, do you have a way to save those two Doron Mesias?]

As Xia Chen ventured deeper into the island, he used his waveguide power to ask Gu Leton a question.

Although theoretically, the Deoxys he could transform into would be stronger, he is not the real Deoxys after all, and apart from passive self-regeneration, he doesn't know how to use many other abilities.

For example, the split entity that Deoxys used in the movie could cover the entire city.

He has only learned the simplest attack moves, such as Psychic and Psychic, under Gardevoir's guidance.

Undoubtedly, this tactic wouldn't save the two Dragon Mesias.

Therefore, Leyton shook his head as well. [If it's an external attack, I can block it, but as Gardevoir said, a poison gas bomb detonated from within... even at my peak, I couldn't handle it.]

Xia Chen remained silent. He understood; in a situation like this, only Xerneas and Ho-Oh could save them.

To be honest, he really wanted to save those two Dorgonmesia.

From a more nuanced perspective, these were two living, breathing lives.

From a self-interested perspective, it's really hard to find two Dragon Mesias. Even on Dragon Island, it's uncertain whether they'd be willing to go with you.

But it seems there really isn't a good solution.

Xia Chen sighed inwardly.

At the same time, his waveguide power was also continuously radiating outwards to probe.

With his current mental strength, the area he can cover is close to 500 meters in radius, which is definitely not far.

However, the island is not very large, so this distance is sufficient.

After walking for about twenty minutes from the lakeside, the waveguide finally detected the human figure, along with two Doromias.

[Gardevoir, do you know how many other people are on the other side besides those you've identified?]

It is certain that he will borrow Deoxys's power today, and the secret of his ability to transform into Deoxys will also be exposed.

Therefore, none of them can be allowed to leave here alive.

Therefore, determining the total number of them is crucial.

However, Gardevoir, who could foresee the future, shook its head and replied, "Sanga... (I don't know about that. All I can... foresee is the explosion of Dragapult.)"

Xia Chen had no choice but to put on an act with them first and lure out all the enemies.

Thinking this, he asked, "[Gulerton, when the Doronmesia explodes later, you should have enough time to deploy your defensive units, right?]"

Leighton was very unhappy with Xia Chen's questioning.

[Heh, what are you worried about? If I don't react in time, I'll... I'll...]

After a long discussion, Gu Leton still couldn't come up with a definitive answer, but he did manage to express the meaning clearly.

Xia Chen didn't tease it, but instead stared intently ahead.

Four figures suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

Chapter 271 Deoxys' Second Transformation, Team Galactic's Despair! (6k)

Daguo Lake, an unnamed island.

The scorching afternoon sun was blocked by tall trees, the woods were shady and the sounds of birds could not be heard.

The wild elves seemed to sense the danger of this place and disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, a scene of a Pokémon poaching group chasing wild Pokémon is unfolding in the open space.

After running at full speed for a long time, the two weak Dorothy were exhausted. The only thing that kept them going was the cat-and-mouse game they were playing with behind them.

The Doronmesians didn't know why these elves were behaving so strangely, but running away might offer a glimmer of hope; if they didn't run, they would only return to that hellish research institute and into the hands of that devilish man.

But they didn't know that their fate had already been sealed...

Finally, after arriving at this small clearing in the woods, the Doronmesia siblings were completely exhausted and had no strength left to move.

Behind them, the hunting elves, led by the raven leader, playfully surrounded them, as if waiting for something.

Doronmesia's brother suddenly found a bit of strength and moved to stand in front of his sister, even though he knew that everything he was doing was in vain.

Behind the crow leader, a burly man said in a deep voice, "Alright, knock them out and take them back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the raven leader flapped its wings, and a wave of dark energy, barely charged up, shot out, hitting and stunning both of the dragon Mesias without any suspense.

With two near-godlike creatures in hand, the poachers excitedly discussed the matter in hushed tones.

"Haha, this trip to Daguo Lake was worthwhile. Two quasi-god cubs, enough to feed us for a whole year."

"Let's hurry up and leave. Don't forget the boat that was moored by the island before we got there."

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? He's lucky he didn't run into us. If he had... he could sell a lot more Pokémon when he got back!"

"All right!"

The burly man seemed to be the leader of the four-person team. He interrupted the other three's conversation and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, don't cause any trouble."

…………

From the bushes behind them, Xia Chen watched this scene and sneered inwardly.

There's quite a bit of drama involved, and it actually seems genuine.

He suddenly wondered how the other party would handle things if he didn't show up.

However, that would not benefit their subsequent actions. Without hesitation, just as the group was about to take out their Poké Balls to capture Dragapult, Xia Chen made his move.

To be precise, that's why Leighton made his move.

A bright orange figure darted out of the bushes like lightning, rushing towards the poachers.

The burly man was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Chief Crow, Bronze Bell, come back and guard it!"

At the same time, he took out several more Poké Balls and threw them out. Gastrodon, Bisharp, and several other Pokémon blocked his way, gathering energy and using Protect together.

Because they had been spying on the poachers, Leighton and Xia Chen were nearly a hundred meters away from them, which gave the poachers and the Raven leader enough time to react.

Acting is acting, but they wouldn't joke about their own lives.

Among the Pokémon carried by the burly man, three were Gym Leader level Pokémon capable of using Protect.

Although even if all three of them combined couldn't defeat Guleton, they could still withstand Guleton's sneak attacks.

The orange-red halo that had transformed into Guleton stopped in front of the Guardian spell cast by the three elves.

Its opponents, the three Gym Leader level Pokémon, used Protect, but they were still pushed back by the enormous impact of the full-power slam, causing several poachers standing behind them to stumble.

"Sir, we concede defeat!"

The disparity in strength was too great, and the burly man shouted this at Gu Leton's back without any backbone.

"Just name your terms, as long as you let us leave!"

It must be said that the burly man's acting was superb; his astonishment, fear, decisiveness, and feigned composure after discovering his opponent's formidable strength were all portrayed perfectly.

The facial expressions, constantly changing with the actor's emotions, made it seem completely natural and not like an act at all.
