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

Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't an act.

After all, with a legendary spirit exuding immense power standing before them, their lives were indeed in someone else's hands.

In this play directed and acted by their own team, the other protagonist had never even seen the script.

If Xia Chen gets aggressive, the two big shots a few kilometers behind them really can't save them.

…………

To make their identity as Pokémon poachers more convincing, the strongest Pokémon they carry are these three Gym Leader level Pokémon.

If they're really that strong... then they won't seem like poachers anymore.

So after the three Pokémon teamed up to use Protect to block a wave of attacks, these "poachers" were as vulnerable as lambs to the slaughter.

Xia Chen had no intention of killing them... at least not now.

He chuckled softly to himself.

A team should be organized and orderly, and there's no rush.

Carrying Gardevoir, Xia Chen slowly emerged from the bushes and stood before several poachers who were giving a French military salute.

The burly man forced a calm smile and said, "Young man, let us go. Besides these two dragons, we also caught a mini dragon. You can have both."

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Even if I kill you, they'll still be mine, right?"

The burly man cursed inwardly.

This guy's serious...

I initially thought this young man, fresh out of university and barely an adult, would call the police and have himself arrested, but judging from his eyes, he was truly intent on killing me...

In desperation, he quickly said, "We still have stock! We brothers have been doing this for over ten years, we've got plenty of money! Whatever resources you want, whatever kind of spirit you want, we have it all!"

"Oh?"

Xia Chen nodded and said calmly, "Put all these Pokémon away, and then give me all the Poké Balls you have on you."

Damn, this bastard has an insatiable appetite! He's even more ruthless than our Galactic Team!

The burly man cursed inwardly, but could only feel impotent rage. He recalled Crow Head and Bronze Bell, and under the watchful eyes of Guleton and Gardevoir, the group obediently placed the twenty-odd Poké Balls on the ground in front of Xia Chen.

Although they have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of Pokémon, the overwhelming difference in strength cannot be compensated for by sheer numbers.

The burly man breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the Poké Ball.

This means that Xia Chen probably won't be thinking of killing them anymore. Although they would have no chance to resist after handing over the elves, the real killing move... wouldn't be their elves.

Thinking about the fate of the person who had caused him such great humiliation, he suddenly felt less distressed.

Although that's what he was thinking, the burly man still obsequiously said with the professionalism of an actor, "Young man, look..."

Xia Chen glanced at him expressionlessly. "Tie up all three of them."

The burly man: "..."

This guy is really cautious. The Pokémon are all inside the Poké Ball, so why would he be afraid of just a few of us?

However, the more cautious Xia Chen was, the more he felt a sense of intellectual superiority.

Whether you're an elf or a human, what good is it if you can completely seal it all off?

Lord Huoxing's scheme is truly brilliant...

After tying up his men, the burly man was then tightly bound by Xia Chen with hemp rope. After doing all this, Xia Chen finally turned his attention to the two unconscious Doron Mesias.

…………

"Gardedor, you stay here and watch over them."

Without letting Gardevoir get close, Xia Chen and Gu Leton walked in that direction alone.

This explanation was reasonable enough that the group didn't have much doubt.

Meanwhile, in a place unseen by Xia Chen and undetectable by the power of waveguides, seven or eight elite members of Team Galactic, led by Huo Xing and Zhen Xing, were rapidly approaching.

Xia Chen used a wisp of his waveguide power to probe the two Doron Mesias, and sure enough, he sensed two small mechanical devices inside their bodies.

If there are no surprises, then it should be the high-powered poison gas bomb that Gardevoir mentioned.

However, the power of waveguides can only detect, not destroy, and even if it is destroyed, there is no guarantee that the leaked poison gas will not harm Dorgonmesia.

So, it seems there's no way to save him...

Xia Chen sighed helplessly in his heart, then composed himself and walked forward resolutely.

Although I can't save you, I will avenge you!

Reaching the two Doron Mesias, Xia Chen carefully picked them up and fed them the full-restoration medicine.

The two Pokémon weren't actually seriously injured; they were more exhausted and suffering from palpitations from being in a state of fear for a long time. The Dark Pulse from the crow leader, which didn't do much harm, was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After two bottles of full recovery medicine, the two Dorgon Messiahs slowly woke up.

"Messi..."

The larger one woke up first. Although it was still very weak, it struggled to get up and looked around as if it was looking for something.

When it saw Xia Chen feeding another Doronmesia something, it immediately rushed over angrily.

However, in its weakened state, it could do nothing. Xia Chen only diverted a portion of his mental energy, and Dorgonmesia was bound in the distance by an invisible psychic force, unable to move.

"Don't make a sound, I'm saving her."

Xia Chen casually remarked and continued to pour the full recovery medicine into the mouth of the slightly smaller Doronmesia.

Before long, the little dragon also woke up.

Only then did Doron Messiah realize that Xia Chen had come to rescue them, so it slowly relaxed its body and let the psychic force control it.

"Messi... (Thank you...)"

Doronmesia's sister said gratefully.

Xia Chen shook his head without responding; he didn't know how to face the two elves.

Perhaps, it would have been a better choice not to wake them up and let them die unconsciously?

He suddenly felt that his act of reviving them was somewhat cruel.

"Take a nap... you'll feel better when you wake up."

Xia Chen reluctantly comforted the two Dorgon Mecia, hoping to make their deaths less painful.

Feeling safe and reborn, the Doronmesia siblings thanked Xia Chen gratefully and then fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

…………

Just as Xia Chen revived the two Doron Mecia, his surrounding aura suddenly detected the approach of a large group of people.

Xia Chen remained silent.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of these people meant that the lives of the two Dorgonmesia were already on a countdown.

He had no other choice but to use telepathy to communicate with Gu Leton.

[Groton, they're here. Get ready.]

[I see.]

Therefore, Leighton replied in his heart.

Almost the instant they finished communicating, Xia Chen's heart suddenly began to pound violently, followed by an uncontrollable palpitation and panic.

This spider-like sense of danger made him instinctively throw the Doronmesia siblings out of his arms.

At the same time, Gu Leton, standing beside him, reached out and grabbed Xia Chen into his arms, then activated the [Guard] barrier.

The next instant, the two Doron Mesias that Xia Chen had thrown into the air suddenly exploded, their small, dark green bodies torn apart almost instantly by the enormous impact.

A thick, dark purple-black smoke billowed... no, judging by the speed of its spread, it was impacting everything around it.

The first to be affected were naturally Xia Chen and Gu Leton, who were closest to them.

However, how could a small-scale biological weapon created by humans break through the protective barrier of a Celestial Elf? The highly toxic gas vanished instantly upon contact with the protective barrier surrounding Guleton.

Xia Chen and Gu Leton are both safe and sound.

Therefore, Leighton spread the pheasant feathers on his head, which transformed into wings. With a powerful flap, the toxic gas was blown towards the "poachers".

With their hands and feet bound, the Galactic Team members struggled frantically, begging for mercy, or rolling and crawling on the ground, closing their eyes and covering their mouths and noses in an attempt to escape their fate.

However, how could they possibly protect themselves against the poison gas bombs personally concocted by Hades, the chief scientist of Team Galactic, which were so potent that they could poison even elite-level Pokémon?

There's no need to go through the eyes, ears, mouth, or nose; simply touching their exposed skin allows the toxic gases, extracted from the potent toxins of various poison-type spirits, to seep into their bodies through tiny, dense pores.

Starting from the skin, toxins travel rapidly through the bloodstream to the whole body, causing organ failure and cell death wherever they reach.

In just over ten seconds, the poachers' faces turned purplish-red, and a few seconds later, they were completely silent.

As the poisonous gas dissipated, Gardevoir, who had already hidden on the other side, returned to Xia Chen's side, watching the scene ahead warily.

Footsteps approached from there.

…………

"Team Galaxy?"

Xia Chen jumped down from Gu Leton's arms, straightened the clothes that had been wrinkled, and said, half-questioning and half-affirming.

Before them stood eight solemn-looking people, led by a red-haired woman and a blue-haired man.

Standing beside them were more than a dozen powerful elves.

Infernape, Staraptor, Xeno'jiiva, Rhyperior, Electivire... and even a formidable Garchomp!

Sure enough, the villains in the game and animation all using Pokémon like Ravenclaw, Weavile, and Zubat are completely fake.

If villains work so hard to make money and want to destroy or rule the world, how could they not train elves with higher strength and potential?

Pokémon do not distinguish between good and evil; whatever path their chosen trainer takes, they will faithfully follow behind.

Xia Chen used his Aura to sense the aura of these Pokémon, and without exception, all of them were at least at the Gym Leader level.

And that Garchomp's strength... even reached the Champion level!

"Xia Chen, stop struggling. Hand over Gu Leton's Poké Ball, and it'll make you look a little more respectable."
