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

According to a certain story, those who hear these words are destined to have a bad end, so Xia Chen quickly called for a stop.

After thinking for a while, he said helplessly, "Well, I bought an island a while ago, and I plan to build my new home and gym on it. If you don't mind..."

Before she could finish speaking, Christina immediately replied, "I don't mind."

Xia Chen was speechless. "I haven't finished yet... Would you be willing to be my maid?"

"Really? That's even better!"

Chrissy's expression of surprise, as if she were absolutely certain, left Xia Chen completely bewildered.

He rolled his eyes. "It's fake. We don't have maids where we're from, we only have aunties. Do you want to be an auntie?"

Chrissy blushed shyly, "So you like this kind of thing..."

Xia Chen: "......"

After the joke, Xia Chen didn't forget the important matter. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "What I mean is, why don't you become my housekeeper? That way, I'll have someone to act as the manager when I go out. You won't be disappointed with the pay."

This is the important matter. Although I have realized my dream of becoming a dojo master, I can't just stay in the dojo forever and never go out for a stroll.

The acting manager will have to find someone sooner or later, and Chrissy is a good candidate.

Their strength is definitely at least at the dojo level, meeting the standard.

His background is also... well, not exactly innocent, but at least he knows it himself and is trustworthy.

Christina readily agreed to the promotion from maid to butler.

Therefore, Christa, the new steward of Yuanling Dojo, went to Donghuang to take up her post with Xia Chen's letter of appointment.

Although the dojo is not yet completed, there is still a lot of work to be done before it is completed.

Having finally recruited a hardworking and dedicated new employee, Xia Chen naturally wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

The person he arranged to meet with Christina was none other than his assistant, Yan Shu.

With Chrissy settled in, Xia Chen's feud with the Ocean and Lava teams was finally over.

Some died, some went to jail, and some surrendered—wasn't that thorough enough...?

He had also planned his focus perfectly for the next period of time: assisting with the Grand Festival, researching Mega Evolution, and finally leaving the Hoenn region to return and build gyms.

Several days have passed by unnoticed.

…………

September 14th, the beginning of autumn, the sky is high and the air is crisp.

Liuli City is truly a wonderful place with a pleasant climate and distinct four seasons.

The climate is set according to the most comfortable weather of each season, which explains why Groudon and Kyogre are willing to rest here.

At this moment, a cool sea breeze was blowing gently, and Xia Chen even had more energy to work.

After the two idiots woke up, the weather remained sunny, as if trying to make up for the sun that hadn't come out for several months.

Then, as the tide receded, the mansion where Xia Chen had previously lived, built on the beach, finally emerged from the water like a lotus bud just beginning to show its face.

The house was borrowed from President Zvoich. Although the damage had little to do with him, Xia Chen felt embarrassed to return it in this state, so he decided to renovate it and stay there for a while.

But when it came to actually dealing with it, they discovered that repairing a house that had been submerged in water for a week was no easy task.

Besides the floor tiles, the flooring, wallpaper, furniture, and everything else were almost completely soaked and ruined—no matter how luxurious or high-quality the renovation, it couldn't withstand being soaked like that.

Xia Chen had no choice but to hire a professional, high-powered renovation team to help with drying, demolition, and renovation. The whole process was no easier than tearing down and rebuilding.

It took several days, and only today, has it recovered to about 70-80%.

Xia Chen also left the Mikoli Manor and returned to live in the new city.

Right now, he is leading the elves in arranging the newly purchased home appliances and furniture, which can be considered as setting an example for the new home that has not yet been built on Yuanling Island.

However, while the elves, who are in the prime of their curiosity, seem to be working hard, they are actually mostly just playing around and fooling around in the mud.

"Dorunchi, can you stop swinging around there? That's a chandelier, not a swing!"

"And you, Cyril, did you secretly hide Serena's pendant again?"

The two most mischievous and naughty members of the team are undoubtedly these two elves, but as everyone knows, the two most mischievous students in the class always manage to make the whole class's atmosphere go a little off.

What the homeroom teacher, Xia Chen, needs to do is prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

As Xia Chen was being reprimanded by two seemingly obedient but actually remorseful individuals, a gust of wind howled past the window, and a huge jade-green dragon head drooped down, curiously watching Xia Chen and the two men, Duolongqi and Sai Fuhao, who were being criticized.

It's Rayquaza. It arrived so quickly?

Xia Chen was overjoyed. This was much faster than he had imagined. He had thought that even after the grand celebration ended, Lie Kong Zuo might not come again.

Unexpectedly, this special guest arrived in less than ten days.

…………

Opening the window and placing the ten-meter-tall Rayquaza inside, Xia Chen greeted warmly, "Welcome, Dragon God! But how did you know I was here?"

Rayquaza, seemingly uncomfortable under the intense gazes of Sylveon and Gardevoir, curled up and replied, "You and I have established a mental bond, so naturally I can sense your location."

Xia Chen looked at Lie Kongzuo, who had a slightly embarrassed expression, and found it quite amusing. Could this guy be a socially awkward person?

To ease the Dragon God's embarrassment, Xia Chen pointed to Xianbu and the others and introduced them: "By the way, let me introduce you, these are my companions. Our relationship is similar to... family. Do you understand?"

Xia Chen was afraid that Rayquaza was detached from worldly affairs and didn't even understand the meaning of being a trainer, so he explained it this way.

Liekong nodded. "I know. My bond with someone from a thousand years ago also had his spirit, but their relationship was more like that of subordinates... or even servants."

Xia Chen did not deliberately belittle his ex, but explained, "Human development is very fast, and ideas are changing rapidly. A thousand years ago, humans still called elves 'monsters'."

Without elaborating on events from a thousand years ago, he continued to introduce his elves one by one.

"This is Sylveon, my first partner. Milotic, a water-type Pokémon that is headed toward becoming a dragon and never will return. Gardevoir, my little darling... And this last one, you've met him before, Guldurton... a mysterious fellow from the Padia region."

After introducing each of his Pokémon, each with its unique skills, Xia Chen gave them a brief introduction to Rayquaza.

“Lie Kongzuo, you should know him.”

The two parties thus formally met.

Xia Chen secretly observed Rayquaza's gaze and discovered that the Pokémon it was most interested in was not Guruton, which was also a legendary Pokémon, but Milotic.

What's going on? Has Milotic, the "Dragon Succubus," unleashed her powers again?

Speaking of which, although Rayquaza is [genderless] in the game, it has its own race and should theoretically have a gender. Could this be a female dragon?

Is a domineering dragon god falling in love with me going to be staged?

It doesn't seem like a bad idea. Although the two elves are quite far apart in age, as the saying goes, "A woman three years older than a man is like holding a gold brick; a woman three thousand years older than a man is like being among the immortals."

Milotic simply clings to the Dragon God's leg and ascends to heaven—wouldn't that be wonderful?

…………

"I told you not to think about strange things!"

Xia Chen's wild thoughts earned him a stern glare from Lie Kongzuo.

He was startled. "You've been spying on my thoughts again!"

"Do you think I wanted this? This is a side effect of being bound by bonds."

After a pause, Lie Kong explained, "I am interested in him because I sensed a strange aura of dragon bloodline, that's all."

Xia Chen shrugged noncommittally. His previous thought was just a joke, and he knew that Lie Kongzuo's surprise was probably due to this.

After a moment's thought, Lie Kongzuo suddenly said, "I'd like to train with him for a while. What do you think?"

"what?"

Xia Chen was stunned for a while before he understood what Rayquaza meant. "You mean, bring Milotic?"

Milotic, standing to the side, stared in astonishment at Rayquaza, its mind seemingly frozen.

Lie Kong, seated on his dragon head, nodded slightly and asked in return, "You're unwilling?"

Xia Chen scratched his head. "Whether he's willing or not is one thing, the key issue is, Milotic can't fly either..."

Rayquaza curled its lip. "What's so difficult about flying? Even Kyogre can fly; it's just a matter of controlling the airflow."

Xia Chen thought to himself, "If it's really that simple, then why can't Groudon fly...?"

Lie Kong said, "Anyway, flying isn't a problem, so are you willing?"

"It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, it's up to him."

Xia Chen looked at Milos and handed the choice over to him.

Milotic has never been an indecisive dragon; it was probably already considering this when its brain went blank.

So when Xia Chen looked at him, Milotic asked Rayquaza, "If I were to go with you to cultivate, how long would it take?"

Rayquaza, however, was quite indifferent to this, saying, "It depends on you. You can go back anytime you feel it's time."

With things said to this point, there seemed to be no more room for consideration. Milos looked around at his companions with a blessing in mind, and finally gazed at Xia Chen, who had encouraging eyes, for a long while before opening his mouth, but then hesitating to speak.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead, and steal back its finishing touch."

Finally, Milotic looked at Rayquaza and said firmly, "I...am willing."

…………

Although Milotic has decided to go with Rayquaza to train for a while, it's not now, as Rayquaza hasn't done the most important thing he came here for yet.

Xia Chen suddenly had a bold idea regarding the search for the super-evolving meteorite.

Speaking of which, I haven't updated my videos on Pixiv for a long time, which is a real shame considering I was named one of Pixiv's Top 100 YouTubers last year. But isn't this perfect material?

Rayquaza makes an appearance, a super evolution preview—could there be a more interesting vlog than this?

"Vlog? What's that?"

Upon hearing Xia Chen's suggestion, Lie Kongzuo frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "It's something invented by humans to commemorate precious moments. Don't you think it's quite interesting, Dragon God?"

"Time...does it even need to be commemorated?"

Rayquaza found it somewhat incomprehensible, but when it thought about the short lifespans of humans and ordinary elves, it suddenly fell silent.

"Whatever you want."
