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

Fortunately, the Roaring Boss beside him was also devouring the secret plant; otherwise, in his current state, he might have been torn to pieces by the Roaring Boss.

The two elves continued to convulse as they frantically ate on the island; anyone who didn't know better would think they had gone too far.

But only they themselves can feel that along with the extreme spiciness washing over their entire bodies, there is also a special kind of energy.

When Milotic saw the plants covered in red berries, he understood what Roaring Beast was up to.

However, given his output power, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the Roaring Tyrant in such a short time.

After Groudon recovered from its injuries using a secret plant, it became even more impossible. So, Milotic had no choice but to come up with this solution: to use magic to defeat magic!

If you can recover from injuries by eating the secret plant, why can't I, Milotic, become stronger?

Thus, this scene unfolded on this isolated island, eroded by the swift currents.

At that moment, Milos felt as if every cell in his body was burning.

But burning does not mean extinction, but rather rebirth like spring breezes bringing life back to life.

Under the influence of this strange energy, Milotic experienced a rebirth amidst its pain.

What he didn't know was that not only the cells inside his body, but also the scales on the surface of his body were constantly falling off, and in their place, stronger and more dazzling jade-like scales were growing.

If Milotic previously only reflected a bluish-white light under the sun, now its scales are a clear, bright blue, like the sky after a rainstorm.

Not only the scales on its body, but also the length of its body, the protrusion on its head, its tail, and its long eyebrows—every detail of Milotic's body is undergoing subtle changes.

Its original beauty remains unchanged, but it has gained an added touch of the sacredness and nobility of a superior species.

Milotic couldn't see these changes at the moment, but several long-lost voices suddenly rang in his mind.

One mechanical sound after another bombarded Milotic's brain, accompanied by a surge of powerful energy.

No, to be precise, it's not an influx, but a release from every single cell.

It's as if this power originally belonged to Milotic, but now that the conditions are right, it has been unlocked from their genes.

Milotic didn't have time to analyze the specific uses of each reward. Feeling the surging power within his body, he only knew that he had crossed that threshold.

The increase in his potential base stats, coupled with the bonus from his Yinglong bloodline, propelled him to become a Gym Leader-level Pokémon!

However, that's not the most important thing right now. My most urgent task is to protect the secret plant, hold off the Roaring Tyrant, and wait for Xia Chen and the others to arrive.

Milotic was very clear-headed. He knew that although he had made a leap forward in his strength, he was still far from being as good as this Champion-level Roaring Beast.

Perhaps with the boost from Butterfly Dance, its output and speed can rival it, but in terms of defense and durability, it is definitely no match.

The Butterfly Dance buff has only a little time left, and he needs to use his speed and output advantage to hold off the Roaring Overlord.

Not far away, the Roaring Beast was still gnawing on the secret plant on the ground.

Visibly, its tail, which was almost broken off, is rapidly healing under the influence of some mysterious active factor in the plant.

Meanwhile, the previously weak body of the Roaring Beast was also boosted by the influx of this energy, and its strength was about to return to its peak.

Milotic didn't hesitate any longer, quickly continuing with a Butterfly Dance, then gathered energy and tried to use the move he had just unlocked...

Meteor shower!

…………

The burst of light containing explosive energy exploded in the air, and even under the blazing sunlight, this meteor shower, as brilliant as fireworks, did not diminish its dazzling brilliance.

The explosion of the light orbs was only the beginning of this dragon clan's ultimate technique. Pure dragon energy adhered to each energy ball, giving it a dazzling purplish-red color.

The energy spheres plummeted from the sky like meteors, hence the name "meteor shower."

Most of the scattered meteors were undoubtedly aimed at Roaring Beast, but Milotic wasn't worried at all that the move would miss.

It's not because the speed of the Roaring Beast on land will be greatly reduced, but because of the secret plant growing on the ground.

Milotic was 100% certain that the Roaring Beast would use its massive body to protect the delicate plants on the ground.

It will cherish these treasures even more than it does itself.

As expected, dozens of meteors continued to fall to the ground. The first reaction of the Roaring Beast was not to dodge, but to wriggle its fat body to catch them one by one, like a parched land receiving rain.

Amidst the crimson flower field, cries of pain echoed continuously.

Originally, only a third of the meteors were expected to hit the target, but in the end, only a third missed...

One meteor shower, and Chihouba took damage from two meteor showers in total, which can be described as risking his life to protect it.

However, for the Roaring Beast, which had just recovered its strength from the secret plant, the damage from one... no, two meteor showers was nothing.

Even the meteor shower released by a fully upgraded Gym Leader Milotic is the same.

The Mililong was still in its mouth, and the [Give Command] buff was still active, plus its already excellent durability.

Taking all the above conditions into account, Chihouba shook his head, enduring the pain, and glared fiercely at Milotic.

You chased very fast just now, and had a lot of fun, right?

Next, it's my turn!

Chapter 276

This small island has a special location, situated right below the Daguo Lake Waterfall.

The rushing water washes over this place day after day, depositing sand and soil from the river, making the soil on this island relatively fertile.

It is precisely because of this that this place has become a breeding paradise for the secret spicy plant.

Today, this park has suffered a devastating blow in this sudden and fierce fight.

On a small island, barely big enough to hold a dozen or so Roaring Beasts, Roaring Beasts and Milotic are locked in fierce combat.

However, the scene was intense; in reality, neither of the two elves suffered much actual damage.

After unleashing that meteor shower, Milotic realized that its damage output no longer posed a threat to Roaring Beast.

Meteor Shower significantly reduces Special Attack, and the duration of the various stat boosts from Butterfly Dance is about to end.

Judging from the feedback on speed, it has already begun to gradually decline.

The good news is that, due to its body structure, Groudon is far less adaptable to land than Milotic.

Furthermore, Milotic deliberately concealed itself behind the Spicy Secret Plant, so Chihouba dared not increase its strength at all.

In its eyes, Milotic no longer posed a threat, and protecting its treasure was the most important thing.

The more Milotic harbored this idea, the more it exploited Milotic's psychological weakness to deal with it.

Watching Milotic nimbly slither through the flower field, Roaring Beast roared angrily, but ultimately it was helpless.

The guerrilla warfare between the two elves did not last long before Xia Chen and Gu Le Dun arrived and broke the delicate balance.

An orange-red halo descended from the sky, blocking the path between Roaring Beast and Milotic.

…………

"Fuwoo—"

Looking at the figure standing firmly before him like a mountain, Milotic breathed a sigh of relief.

The Butterfly Dance buff is almost over, and if Xia Chen doesn't arrive soon, the consequences could be dire.

On the other side, Chihouba also kept a close watch on Guletun, deeply impressed by the terrifying and dangerous red lizard.

If it hadn't been for the body's instinctive reaction to stress during that previous encounter, it might have perished there.

And now, the battlefield has moved to ground they are completely unfamiliar with... The odds of winning this battle are very low.

Even so, Chihouba had no intention of escaping into the water.

It can run, but the island's secret plant can't.

These are the very things that make it so powerful, things that Chihouba is willing to risk his life to protect.

Therefore, Chihouba had no choice but to tense his massive body and fiercely stare at Guletun.

At this moment, it had only one belief in its heart: as long as the fish is there, the fruit will be there!

However, to Chihouba's surprise, Xia Chen, who firmly held the initiative, did not choose to fight.

"Relax, I don't mean to fight you to the death."

As he spoke, Xia Chen jumped off Gu Leton and casually picked up two red secret plants from the ground, gazing at them intently.

If there are no surprises, this should be the secret plant for the spicy flavor.

Having obtained what he wanted most on this trip, and with Milotic safe and sound, Xia Chen naturally had no desire to get entangled with Chihouba any further.

Therefore, Leton did not have an absolute advantage over the Roaring King, especially since the opponent also had a Celestial King-level creature, Milion, inside him. He did not want things to end badly.

Xia Chen's concession left the behemoth in front of him somewhat bewildered. Although its brain wasn't very sharp, the "Mililong" it spoke of was highly intelligent.

At this moment, Chihouba had roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter from Mi Lilong's analysis.

It was all a conspiracy by the other side, a conspiracy to find their treasure!

Now that the conspiracy has succeeded and the treasure he wanted is right in front of him, he says he wants to give it up?

Who would believe such nonsense!

Regardless of whether it believed it or not, Xia Chen picked more than a dozen secret plants, then took out a Poké Ball, put Milotic away, and returned it to Guleton.

Before leaving, Xia Chen suddenly remembered something and turned around to add, "By the way, in a while, a group of people will come here. They will be doing some work here, and in return, they will help you restore this place to its original state."

The island, ravaged by Milotic and the Roaring Beast, was once lush and vibrant, but now looked as if it had been battered by a storm, leaving it in ruins.

Hearing Xia Chen's kind words, Chihouba remained silent for a long time before finally opening its enormous mouth. Inside, a giant Mililong, nearly a meter long, hopped out.

"Huh? (Why...why did you do that?)"
