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

Although she wasn't a doctor, as someone with superpowers herself, she knew that Xia Chen's symptoms were simply due to excessive mental strain.

He should rest well and recover naturally after another two or three days of sleep. He should be in a deep sleep right now.

However, Xia Chen's recovery ability was stronger than Jia Deliya had imagined. He regained consciousness before sunset, as if he had just had a long sleep.

After waking up, he ate and drank as usual, acting like nothing had happened.

He actually felt that his spirit was better than before he woke up, which was probably related to Rayquaza's simultaneous completion of its Mega Evolution.

Upon waking up, Xia Chen naturally received thanks from the Hoenn League Champions, led by Champion Cloud—which was also one of their main purposes for staying there.

Another objective was to inquire about the whereabouts of Groudon and Kyogre, the two time bombs.

Xia Chen frankly told them what Lie Kongzuo had told him. The alliance leaders, who were temporarily relieved, thanked him again and left the room to give him space to rest.

Only a few people who were close to Xia Chen, such as Cynthia, Gadriya, Maxiu, and Mikoli, and Xia Chen's elves remained in the room.

…………

"Is everyone alright?"

Still feeling weak, Xia Chen got up with Gardevoir's help and asked with concern.

Michael, who knew the local situation best, replied, "It's alright. You and Rayquaza arrived in time. Only the outer urban area of ​​Liuli Island was flooded, and it was mostly property damage such as houses. There were almost no casualties."

Xia Chen nodded with relief, "That's good."

In this way, all the efforts were not in vain.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's tide Jiana... I mean, Xiao hope's older sister? Did she come over?"

Cynthia, who was in charge of contacting the Meteor Dwellers, replied, "They've arrived. She was complaining that things were over before they even came, which meant she didn't get to see the Dragon God. He's probably at the Sky Pillar with Little Cynthia now."

While using her superpowers to peel an apple for Xia Chen, Gadrilia complained, "Alright, just relax and rest. Everyone else is fine. You're probably the one who's most seriously injured in the world because of this."

His dryly humorous remarks made everyone in the room smile, but because they suspected the jokes were a bit cheesy, they tried their best to suppress their laughter.

Xia Chen took the perfectly carved apple, which was like a work of art, and smiled happily, "Who knew that helping Rayquaza achieve Mega Evolution would consume so much of my mental energy?"

"Super Evolution?"

This extremely new term was unfamiliar to everyone in the room except for Cynthia, so the others naturally looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mikkuri said thoughtfully, "You mean, that special form of Rayquaza isn't Primal Reversion, but what you call... Mega Evolution?"

Xia Chen nodded, readily admitting it.

Anyway, once Rayquaza takes him to find the Mega Stone, he can reveal it to the public, so he didn't hide it.

"Is there any difference between them?"

Cattleya asked the key question.

Xia Chen smiled slightly and slowly uttered a sentence that shocked everyone present.

"Primal Reversion is only available for Groudon and Kyogre, but while not all Pokémon can Mega Evolve, Rayquaza is far from the only one capable of it."

…………

Xia Chen turned to look at Cynthia, "Your Garchomp and Lucario."

Next up is Cattleya, "Your Metagross and Alakazam."

Then came Ma Xiu, "Your big-mouthed baby."

Finally, there's Wallace, "and of course, your Gyarados and Swampert."

Xia Chen's recitation of dishes-like general knowledge surprised and delighted the group.

They are all smart people; they know what this means.

"You mean, after these Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution, they can all break through their original power levels, just like Rayquaza?"

It was rare for Cattleya to say such a long sentence.

Teacher Xia Chen patiently answered her questions, saying, "Yes, super evolution is such a thing."

"So, how can one undergo super evolution?"

Unsurprisingly, some people have started to pay attention to this issue.

No matter how good something is, it's useless if it's not yours; it will only make you envious.

Xia Chen kept everyone in suspense for a moment, "Wait a minute, Rayquaza knows where the key to completing Mega Evolution is. Once it leads me to it, we can get it done quickly... right?"

As he spoke, Xia Chen suddenly became a little insecure.

Because he recalled that before they parted, Rayquaza said, "I'll come find you as soon as I've recovered."

But it previously said that Groudon would need several years to recover, so Rayquaza's "immediate" recovery time might also be several years, right?

It's not impossible, because for Rayquaza, whose lifespan is almost infinite, the timescale would also be infinitely extended.

In its mind, a few years is equivalent to a few days, which is perfectly normal. It's unlikely it will really have to wait several years...

When everyone saw Xia Chen, who had just been in high spirits, suddenly become ashen-faced and silent, they were startled. They thought he was unwell and quickly asked him how he was doing.

Xia Chen quickly said, "I'm fine, I was just a little lost in thought about my promise to Lie Kong."

After all that fuss, they finally left the room, leaving Xia Chen to rest under the care of the elves.

…………

Xia Chen put the search for the Mega Evolution Stone aside for the time being, because it depended on how long Rayquaza's "horse" would last, and there was no point in rushing it.

Over the next few days, he recuperated at his estate in Mikkel, while reconstruction efforts continued steadily outside.

Although Ersha was only active for a few hours after waking up, the impact he caused was considerable.

Many places were flooded, but many other places also saw the emergence of new land.

Ruri City, which is closest to the site of the incident, is naturally the focus of the reconstruction efforts.

Because the old city is located in a high-altitude volcanic crater, it is less affected; the biggest project is simply draining the water left by the heavy rain.

With the concerted efforts of the residents and elves of Crystal City, Crystal City was restored to its original state in just a few days.

The new urban area below suffered more severe damage due to its lower altitude, and the reconstruction will take longer.

Meanwhile, the unusually high temperatures in the central and western regions of Hoenn gradually subsided as Groudon disappeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

Therefore, it was only natural that the grand celebration plan, which had been suspended due to extreme weather, was revived.

After discussing with Xia Chen, Ma Xiu, Adam, and others, they decided to hold the stalled grand ceremony on September 25th, half a month after the new district was expected to be rebuilt.

Because there were no casualties in this incident, there was no controversy in public opinion.

Upon hearing this news, most people expressed their agreement and support.

People believed that a grand, large-scale event could wash away the unpleasantness brought by the disaster, and the most excited of all were undoubtedly the contestants stranded in Liuli City.

This means that their efforts and hard work this year have not been in vain, and they, and their Pokémon, can once again shine on the highest stage of the Coordinator!

For this reason, Xia Chen did not leave the Hoenn region, but stayed in Mikuri, waiting for the grand festival to begin and Rayquaza to return.

…………

As for the others who came to Liuli City because of this incident...

Cynthia and Gadriya, being champions after all, returned to their duties two days ago after seeing that Xia Chen had recovered.

After failing to summon the Dragon God at Sky Pillar with her sister, the two sisters left Sootopolis City together and began traveling and training like any other trainer.

After the disaster, the father and son, Qianlilu and Bi, also resolved their estrangement through heart-to-heart talks.

Just like in the manga, Senri agreed to Ruby's dream of pursuing the Contests, but he hoped that Ruby would do his best and become the number one Coordinator.

Afterwards, Senri returned to Petalburg City to continue guarding the gym, while Ruby and her companion Safia were entrusted to Wallace's care by their elderly father.

Incidentally, Mikoli found Lu Bi more pleasing to the eye, so he took him on as his apprentice.

Adam thus became Ruby's great-great-grandfather, making him a generation above Qianli, which infuriated Qianli.

Serena wanted to follow suit and become Xia Chen's apprentice, but he declined, citing that he was too busy.

This is not an excuse, but the reality. He has too many things to do, including being a trainer, participating in Contests, and opening a gym.

Although Serena expressed her understanding, she couldn't help but look somewhat downcast.

It wasn't just because she failed to become an apprentice; there were also some hidden thoughts that only the girl herself knew.

Team Magma and Team Marine were completely wiped out after this incident.

All of Team Aqua's elites perished in the underwater cave, while Team Magma was wiped out in the dead of night before Groudon awoke.

Meanwhile, the core members of Team Lava, led by Crimson Pine, were imprisoned for crimes such as "illegally hunting Pokémon" and "endangering public safety."

Because there is no death penalty in the Pokémon world, what awaits them is a minimum of life imprisonment.

This made Xia Chen, who supported the existence of the death penalty, feel extremely regretful.

If terrorists of this caliber don't get shot, then this world is indeed somewhat utopian.

According to the official report, the Hokage and Himura both perished in the underwater cave, while Koga died in battle in front of the Awakening Temple, meaning there is no possibility of the Magma Team being resurrected.

Meanwhile, at Mikkel's manor, a beautiful woman named Christa, who looks exactly like Fire Goose, becomes entangled with Xia Chen.

Chapter 335 A Wonderful Vlog Journey with Rayquaza (First Update, 5k words)

"What do you mean I have to take responsibility for? What am I responsible for?"

Xia Chen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a headache, already regretting that he had rescued her.

Chrissy said pitifully, "I've wasted nearly ten years in that evil organization, Team Lava, and I'm completely out of touch with society. What if I get scammed when I first enter the workforce? I can only ask for your help."

You? You were scammed?

Xia Chen looked at the last [Fire Goose] of the Lava Team with a strange expression, his mind filled with complaints.

You're lucky if you don't betray others; who would lie to you?

Seeing that Xia Chen wasn't buying it, Christine's expression grew even more tearful. "I've wandered half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a good man. If you won't abandon me, I'm willing..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"
