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

Xia Chen turned his head and fearlessly met the monster's attack once again.

The giant rock Arceus had an indifferent look in its eyes, mechanically releasing energy to bombard all obstacles that tried to stand in its way.

Energy surges.

boom--

The invisible hand formed by the explosion sent Xia Chen's body flying backward, its radiance dimming as its red and blue skin turned into particles of light and dissipated into the air.

This move actually shattered the Deoxys that was possessing Xia Chen!

Xia Chen, who had lost consciousness, fell to the ground in an arc. He was caught by the quick-reacting Duolongqi, who then carried him away from the place of trouble, leaving the main battlefield to Liekongzuo and Guleton, who had finished their three sword dances and whose momentum had reached its peak.

Therefore, Leighton glanced back at Xia Chen, who was unconscious, and then looked at the giant rock Arceus with eyes full of anger.

It had been a very, very long time since it had been this angry.

Its rage seemed to increase its attack power, and its already terrifying aura rose even higher.

Therefore, Leton gripped the dragon claw, which was filled with surging power, and instantly transformed into a phantom, fiercely attacking the boulder.

Perhaps emboldened by beating Xia Chen, the guy abandoned the vines' defense and switched to offense, unleashing a sudden burst of energy beams.

This time, however, the beam of light was not blocked by energy as it had been the first time.

After only a brief stalemate, Guleton, his entire body enveloped in a blazing light, swiftly cleaved the energy beam in two!

Like a meteorite, Leyton's entire body, carrying a surging momentum, crashed into the giant rock Arceus.

The entire island trembled and shook as if an earthquake had struck!

The monster formed from the boulder staggered and stumbled backward several steps.

The emerald light that followed pressed its advantage, swooping down at incredible speed.

The colossal Arceus finally succumbed to Rayquaza's fully charged attacks and crashed to the ground, sending a massive cloud of dust billowing into the air.

Therefore, Leighton took over, his figure bursting with brilliant white light as he plummeted down, a close-quarters combat attack pressing down, the ground beneath the boulder nearly shattered by this strange force.

Although it, the primary object of the impact, did not crack as badly as the ground, the red glow in its eyes had noticeably dimmed.

And so, Rathalos and Rayquaza rhythmically took turns unleashing their attacks, relentlessly pounding the giant rock Arceus. By the time Arceus realized what was happening and tried to extend its vines to defend itself, it was too late; its remaining energy was insufficient to sustain its defense.

Finally, with a long, resounding dragon roar echoing through the sky, Rayquaza ended the short life of the giant rock Arceus with a finishing touch.

It returned to its original form, and the scarred fairy cloth was able to separate and fall off.

However, her body surface inexplicably emitted the same seven-colored light as the legendary boulder.

The island, riddled with holes from being repeatedly bombarded by the frenzied energy of several legendary spirits, has finally regained its tranquility.

By this time, night had fallen.

…………

When Xia Chen woke up, the stars were twinkling in his eyes, and the night was hazy.

After a brief moment of disorientation, he recalled what had happened before he lost consciousness. He tried to get up, but found that his body ached terribly, making even getting up difficult.

A warm little hand gently pressed Xia Chen back down, and he realized that he was lying on Gardevoir's lap.

"Sanai... (Don't worry, Senbu has been rescued. You should rest now...)"

Gardevoir knew what Xia Chen cared about most at that moment, and spoke gently.

Even so, Xia Chen wouldn't feel at ease until he saw it with his own eyes, so he said softly, "Gardedoll, help me up."

Knowing her trainer's temperament, Gardevoir sighed helplessly and helped him up.

Duolongqi flew behind him and supported his waist, making it easier for Xia Chen to get up.

Xia Chen stood up, his eyes meeting a landscape riddled with the scars of war. A giant rock lay quietly on the ground, as if everything that had happened on the island had nothing to do with it.

Ignoring the broken rock, Xia Chen turned to look for Xianbu and found her lying next to Lie Kongzuo, breathing rapidly, her snow-white belly rising and falling slightly, and her face showing a painful struggle.

Most strikingly, she radiated a seven-colored light similar to that of the legendary boulder, giving her an eerie appearance.

With the help of Gardevoir and Zoroark, Xia Chen limped over to Sylveon and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"

Rayquaza gently shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, but what I can confirm is that because of the fusion, the energy of the boulder seeped into Sylveon's body. This energy did not belong to her original body, and a rejection reaction occurred."

"What should we do? Will there be serious consequences?"

Xia Chen asked worriedly.

He didn't know much about elven medicine, but in his memory, rejection reactions in the human body were the kind of phenomenon that could even be life-threatening if not handled properly.

Many organ transplant recipients die from subsequent rejection reactions by their immune system.

While energy infiltration may not sound as serious as organ transplantation, that kind of energy is very sinister; who knows what consequences it might cause...

Liekongzuo comforted him, "It'll be alright. No matter how turbulent the super energy is, it can't suppress...that thing."

Xia Chen frowned and asked, "What is it?"

This time, Lie Kongzuo didn't play the riddle-maker, but instead gave a hint: "Think about why the boulder turned into the shape of that great man."

Xia Chen suddenly realized that Xianbu's unusual behavior had left him in a state of confusion, and he had almost forgotten about it.

Once Lie Kong sat down and reminded him, he finally understood—

Sylvanas contains the energy left behind by Arceus!

"So that's how it is..."

Xia Chen muttered to himself.

He had thought that Sylveon was the most ordinary of all his Pokémon with amazing skills, but now it seems that she is the one with the strongest backing!

…………

While he was pondering, the abnormal state on Xianbu's body had unknowingly dissipated.

Her breathing returned to normal, and the light on her body receded into her body, whether it dissipated or not was unknown.

Then, Xianbu opened her eyes and looked blankly at Xia Chen and her companions who were gathered around her, watching her with concern.

"Bu-i? (Why are you all surrounding me?)"

Doronchi scratched its head with its short paws. "Chi? (You've already forgotten what just happened?)"

Doronchi's words left Senbu even more confused, before she realized that it was already dark.

"Bu-i? (What happened?)"

Seeing Fairy's bewildered expression, the elves exchanged glances, realizing that he truly had no memory of that time.

Was this... swallowed by a legendary boulder and also suffer from amnesia?

Sai Fuhao comforted him, "Thump—(If you can't remember, it's okay, it's all over now anyway.)"

It wasn't a pleasant memory, and the optimistic Cypher thought it was better for Senbu to forget it.

However, Yulong wants to awaken Sylvanas's memories.

Can you feel the super energy within your body?

The question came from Liekongzuo, whose seemingly pointed words startled Xianbu slightly, and he then began to observe according to its guidance.

A moment later, she frowned slightly, clearly sensing an energy that did not belong to her own body.

"Bu-i? (What's that?)"

Rayquaza said meaningfully, "Just like the energy stored in the Emperor's organ within my body, with its power and the Key Stone, I am able to complete Mega Evolution."

Xianbu paused, stunned for a long, long time, before she asked incredulously, "You mean... I can too?"

Lie Kongzuo remained noncommittal, saying, "I only offered a conjecture; who knows?"

Xianbu turned to Xia Chen, who was equally surprised, with burning eyes. The latter pursed his lips and said, "You'll know once you try it!"

No matter how you look at it, Sylveon's ability to Mega Evolve is a good thing.

The leap in strength was only part of the story; what Xia Chen cared about more was Xianbu's long-standing worry—

The fact that she, as the leader of the team, is showing signs of falling behind might... no, it definitely can be resolved!

"Xianbu, clear your mind of distractions and focus your attention."

Xia Chen took out the key stone he carried with him and guided him according to what Lie Kong had said that day.

Sinbu suppressed his excitement, nodded, closed his eyes, and did as instructed.

The depth of the bond between Xia Chen and Xianbu needs no further explanation; their spiritual energies successfully merged within Xianbu's body.

At the same time, the keystone in Xia Chen's hand emitted a dazzling light, and the platinum radiance extended upwards, reflecting and merging with the seven-colored brilliant light emanating from Xianbu's body.

"This is our bond, a super evolution!"

When emotions run high, words that would never normally be uttered will naturally come out.

Watching the ever-changing form of the fairy cloth within the platinum-gold light, Xia Chen's eyes were almost overflowing with excitement.

Soon, the light faded, and Sylveon's new, super-evolved form was revealed to Xia Chen and the Pokémon.

…………

Super Sylveon's body was twice as big, and it was completely white.

From bottom to top, the originally slender limbs seem to have become a bit thicker, giving them a more powerful appearance.

The short, pink tail that sticks up from behind has been transformed into a more flowing ponytail style.

Around his waist, a gleaming golden halo inlaid with four platinum gems swirled, controlled by some force to move in a circular motion.

Its long neck resembles that of a swan, and its face, adorned with a white gold gemstone, exudes a subtle air of majesty and divinity.

Its two pointed ears, like those of an elf, stand upright, making it appear even more sacred.

Beautiful, elegant, mysterious—

This is a sacred spirit that inspires awe and reverence at first glance!

"Holy crap, Arceus?!"

No wonder Xia Chen was so excited. The main reason is that the Mega Evolved Sylveon looks exactly like Arceus!

With his looks and demeanor, no one would doubt that he was the illegitimate son of Arceus and Eevee!
