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

In the end, Lie Kongzuo agreed to Xia Chen's request.

For him, experiencing things he'd never tried before in his nearly infinite lifespan was far more interesting than idly counting stars on the ozone layer.

Thus began a vlog journey that was both novel and interesting for Xia Chen and Lie Kongzuo.

"Long time no see, my dear bean pigeons."

Xia Chen smiled and waved to Rotom's phone, pointing it at his camera. He was quite attached to this part-time job that provided him with his first pot of gold as a trainer.

The same goes for his fans who have always supported him.

On the other hand, when he opened Pixiv, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, he was shocked by the number of followers. In just over half a year, the number of followers had skyrocketed from more than 10 million at the beginning of the year to more than 60 million.

She officially surpassed Leon, who has top-tier commercial value and strength, Karune, a world-renowned movie star, and Cynthia, the most popular champion among champions, becoming the second person on Pixiv, second only to Professor Oak.

This terrifying surge in prices is likely closely related to the Guleton incident at the beginning of the year, the legendary battle with Darkrai in the middle of the year, and the Hoenn trio a few days ago.

In short, although Xia Chen no longer makes a living from this industry, he is still quite happy.

In Xia Chen's current state, spiritual pursuits have far surpassed material pursuits, and becoming a beloved content creator can be considered one of his spiritual pursuits.

…………

Getting back to the main point, after greeting the audience, Xia Chen led Rotom around the house.

"As usual, let's start by showing you Sylveon and Gardevoir. I know that's what you're all most eager to see."

Xia Chen was well aware of whether he or his elves were more popular.

There's nothing in the world that everyone loves, except for Elf Coins and Sylveon Cloth.

"Buyi?"

Even before appearing on screen, her soft, naturally sweet voice has already stirred up a ripple in people's hearts, making their bones melt.

Then two ribbons extended, and amidst Rotom's exclamation, Sylvanas controlled the camera to take a beautiful selfie.

Close-up shots of Sylveon don't actually have any of the "dead angle" stereotypes; in fact, they make her look even cuter.

As expected, the comments here will be filled with "awsl" (a Chinese internet slang term for extreme excitement or awe). Although such comments may seem a bit outdated in 2025, they fit the context and have a kind of Renaissance-like charm.

The rest of the filming was taken over by Sinbu. Xia Chen picked up Sinbu, who was running around like Rotom, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

He suddenly remembered the Eevee first-person perspective vlog he made two years ago at Yunze Lake, where he met his second Pokémon, Feebas.

Now things have changed. Eevee has evolved into Sylveon, Feebas has successfully evolved into Milotic, and I have met even more partners.

Thinking about it carefully, that can be considered "the place where my dream began".

While wearing Rotom, Sinb wasn't just running around aimlessly; he was interacting with the audience and his other companions from a unique perspective.

From this perspective, viewers of this vlog in the future will be able to experience, through their screens, the thrill of petting Gardevoir, playing with Zoroark, sliding down Milotic's backside, and touching the sleeping Gullion's butt...

Under Cinco's guidance, viewers can experience things they wouldn't normally be able to do, making it a truly wonderful adventure.

However, even these were not the most exciting parts. In the end, Sinbu led Rotom to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, bathed in sunlight and with a wide view, stood a majestic and imposing figure.

"This is the new spirit I've captured."

Xia Chen introduced it jokingly.

Liekongzuo didn't interrupt Xia Chen's daydreaming; it glanced at him lazily and then lay back down to continue sunbathing.

It spends most of its life above the ozone layer, so having something supporting it from below feels pretty good.

"Just kidding. This is our guest, Lie Kongzuo. This afternoon, we're going to search for something very magical. I'll keep you in suspense for now."

"Xianbu, you can play by yourself. I'm going downstairs to cook."

After saying that, Xia Chen turned and walked downstairs without taking his phone, Rotom.

There's nothing interesting about cooking, but if you focus the camera on Sylveon and Rayquaza, who knows what kind of interesting material you might get?

…………

Sylvanas, carrying Rotom, slowly walked towards Rayquaza.

Although this wasn't her first time encountering a legendary Pokémon, and Rayquaza had previously displayed a rather gentle temperament, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, he is a flying dragon with a very high status among many legendary spirits, so Sylveon's little achievements in his previous life are not enough to compare.

Rayquaza sensed Sylveon's approach, but instead of stopping it, it moved slightly to the side, as if making room for Sylveon.

Fairy Cloth naturally lay down beside it, basking in the sun with the Dragon God.

"You are special,"

The strange way the Sky-Siphon greeted me made Xianbu's heart skip a beat. What did it mean? Did it recognize my identity as a reborn person?

In my past life, I don't think I ever had any contact with it...

If we're not sure, let's just brush it off for now.

The clever little fairy replied, "Bu-ee—(Thank you, my friends and I are all special, I don't know why.)"

Lie Kongzuo nodded noncommittally and added, "You are the most special. I sensed the aura of that great one on you."

What, that sir?

Xianbu was completely confused.

Seeing Xianbu's reaction, Liekong was initially taken aback, but then realized what he meant and muttered, "Did they tamper with it...? Never mind, I didn't say anything."

Chapter 336 The Rampaging Legendary Boulder, the Mutated Sylveon! (Second Update, 5k words)

It's that riddle-teller again! How annoying!

Immortal thought to himself, furious at Liekongzuo's inexplicable words.

Wait, why did I say "again"?

Xianbu, who was showing off his little tiger teeth, suddenly paused for a moment, then realized that Guleton seemed to have asked a similar question a month or two ago.

What's wrong with these legendary elves?!

Do you really think you can't beat them?

Hmm... even if you can't beat them, you don't have to bully Eevee like this!

As if sensing Xianbu's resentment, Liekong kindly added, "Anyway, it won't be a bad thing. Maybe... we can give you a surprise sometime."

What can you do with Fairy Cloth? It's powerful, so it gets to decide...

After sitting in the sun with Liekong for a while, the restless Xianbu turned around and went downstairs.

Rayquaza's lifestyle is as leisurely as an old dragon's, and Sylvanas really can't get along with it.

……

Since Lie Kongzuo rarely comes to visit, Xia Chen generously showed off his superb cooking skills, which took a little longer to prepare the meal.

When Serena returned from her studies with Mikoli, there was one last dish, [Dragon Descends to Earth], simmering in the pot—

The name of this dish was coined by Xia Chen on the spot; it's essentially a version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made with ingredients unique to the Elf World.

The name of the dish implies that even dragons can descend from heaven to earth upon smelling its aroma.

"Mmm, it smells delicious! I don't know if the dragon hook can pull me down, but it will definitely pull me out."

Serena praised Xia Chen after hearing his explanation.

Then, as she carried the dishes out of the kitchen, she saw a Rayquaza lying in the living room—the same one she had seen on TV that day!

Shocked, Serena let go of the pot she was holding. Luckily, Xia Chen, who was right behind her, reacted quickly and used his superpowers to control her. Otherwise, the pot of [Dragon Descending to Earth] that she had been simmering for so long would have been wasted.

"It...it...how did it get here?"

Serena was so shocked she started stuttering.

Xia Chen joked, "Didn't I just say that even dragons would come down from the heavens if they smelled the aroma of this dish?"

This really startled the naive Serena, who stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

Xia Chen stopped teasing her and explained, "Okay, I was just kidding. Lie Kong has been visiting us for a while now."

Serena slowly recovered from her mental lapse and nodded blankly.

Lunch proceeded in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

It turns out that although Rayquaza lives in the ozone layer for a long time, it is not truly detached from human life.

It tasted a few bites of each dish on the table, and its face inevitably showed a look of surprise and enjoyment, just like in the common saying.

However, the Dragon God had great self-control. After taking a small bite, it stopped eating with a slight lingering taste.

It's not that it can't eat; if it really wanted to eat its fill, the entire table of food wouldn't be enough to supply its needs for half a day. That's why it doesn't think about replenishing its energy through food.

Xia Chen was quite disappointed that he couldn't win over Rayquaza with his stomach, but then again, simply luring Pokémon with food would only fool those unsophisticated country bumpkins.

After lunch and a rest of more than an hour, Xia Chen, led by Lie Kongzuo, finally set off to search for the legendary magical meteorite.

According to Ju Liekongzuo, the meteorite he remembered was located near Liuli Island. However, more than two thousand years have passed, and the world has changed drastically. It is unknown whether it has been buried somewhere on the seabed.

Rayquaza circled around Crystal Island at least once, and Rayquaza indicated that it could not sense the aura of the meteorite at all.

Xia Chen wasn't surprised. If it were that easy to find, no one would have been able to discover something as significant as super evolution until now.

"Perhaps it really is hidden at the bottom of the sea?"

Xia Chen worriedly considered the worst possible outcome.

Suddenly, Senbu said, "Bu-i... (Not in the sea...)"

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow. So she found out again?

Sinbu added, "Bu-ee! (I don't know exactly where, but it's definitely not underwater!)"

Xianbu has made many predictions, and she wouldn't be so certain if she wasn't sure. So Xia Chen chose to trust her and temporarily ruled out the possibility of going to the bottom of the sea to search for the massive project.

Today, Liekongzuo was merely a guide probe; it had no intention of changing Xia Chen's mind, only asking, "Shall we search the nearby islands first?"

Xia Chen was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly remembered Lie Kong's "island-annihilating feat" that day, and suddenly became wary, saying, "Wait a minute, you won't be as brutal as you were last time, will you?"

It's fine if it's an island without people or Pokémon, but if I take Rayquaza to bomb islands inhabited by people and Pokémon, then I'm sure I'll become a new terrorist organization in the Hoenn region.
