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

Come on, Zoroark, give it a live life!

…………

"Phew—(But I've mastered other techniques.)"

Other moves?

Xia Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing something unusual. Milotic wouldn't usually bring up ordinary, routine moves, as it was a very common thing in Xia Chen's family.

He immediately became interested and wanted Milotic to demonstrate.

Milos readily agreed, but he said the house was too small and inconvenient to perform.

Xia Chen was even more surprised. Judging from this, Milotic's newly mastered move was quite powerful...

Filled with intense curiosity, Xia Chen and Milotic arrived at the training ground, and the other Pokémon, having nothing else to do, followed along.

Since the new move was missing a target, Xia Chen turned his attention to the Pokémon to see if any would volunteer to take the hit.

The Pokémon looked at each other, and finally Goodra stepped forward. Not only was she the toughest, but she also had the Steel/Dragon dual-type, which was four times weak to Water.

How will Milotic perform when faced with such a tough target?

Xia Chen and the other elves were all very curious about the answer to this question.

In a standard battle, the two Pokémon stand still.

Milotic didn't rush to attack; instead, it said, "Fuwoo—(Remember to use Protect later.)"

Xia Chen was surprised. Did this mean that this move, like a feint or a stealthy attack, ignored the [Guard] status?

The answer will be revealed soon, so Xia Chen isn't in a hurry to ask now.

Nian Meilong nodded and then assumed a fighting stance.

Without further ado, Milotic's aura solidified, and a dense mist of water vapor condensed on the field.

Nian Meilong dared not be negligent and quickly gathered his energy to use [Guard].

About two seconds later, a huge, azure-blue, magic circle-like ring suddenly appeared under the feet of the Nianmei Dragon, with faint dragon roars emanating from it.

The azure water energy vibrated wildly within it in the form of ripples.

Just as the energy reached its limit, a gigantic, ferocious water dragon composed entirely of water-based energy emerged from the ground—

This is not a metaphor; the water flow actually formed a lifelike water dragon, almost identical in appearance to Milotic!

…………

The rushing water sounded like the roar of an angry dragon, deafening.

The water dragon defied gravity and surged upstream, swallowing up the sticky dragon above with unparalleled force.

Perhaps because the attack originated from the circular magic circle beneath its feet, Goodra's [Protect] was useless. Water Dragon easily broke through the outer transparent barrier and struck Goodra, who had no intention of dodging, straight to the heart of the matter.

In reality, even if she intended to dodge, it would be difficult to avoid it. This thing appears right under your feet; how can you dodge it?

Before the power of the move could be judged from the reaction of the Great White Dragon, the Water Dragon, which roared and charged into the sky, suddenly exploded, turning into patches of black clouds that gathered under the ceiling.

Then, a torrential downpour began!

Xia Chen was stunned. This attack move had a built-in lock-on function, and being able to penetrate a defensive stance was already equivalent to having a lock-on lock and a wall-penetrating ability. It even had a [rain summoning] effect?

Isn't this a bit too much...?

Xia Chen was unaware that in the eighth generation, which he had not experienced, there was a move called [Max Aqua] that could produce almost the same effect.

But even if you know it, it doesn't diminish the power of this move.

In the game, you can only Dynamax once per game, and it only lasts for three turns. Although we don't know how it will behave in reality, the limitations will probably be significant.

This move, inherited by Milotic from the long-absent [Dragon Training System], is an absolute god-tier skill for Water-type special attack Pokémon.

Chapter 359 The move is named, "Leaping from the Abyss!" (5k words, first update)

This move, whose name is still unknown, surprised Xia Chen enough simply by ignoring the effects of [Protect] and activating [Rainy Day].

It can be said that as long as its power is slightly stronger than a water gun, it can already be called a divine skill.

Judging from the "special effects" and momentum when it's released, the chances that its power is lower than that of a water gun are even smaller than that of Groudon flying... Oh wait, we can't criticize it like that anymore.

In short, the power of this move is expected to be no less than that of a water cannon.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Goodra, which was completely hit by the water dragon, did not show signs of weakness, it was because Goodra had extremely high Special Defense and was four times weak to Water.

If it were any other Pokémon in Xia Chen's team, it would probably be difficult to withstand this move.

The subsequent experiment on the technique force testing machine also proved this point; the power of this technique was almost the same as that of a meteor shower.

In other words, if we translate this into a game, its effect would be—

A Water-type special attack move with a power of 130. After use, it activates [Rainy Weather], allowing it to attack while ignoring [Protect].

hiss--

That's a bit outrageous.

Xia Chen gasped inwardly.

Powerful moves like Meteor Shower and Leaf Storm usually have side effects, such as significantly reducing Special Attack or lowering Defense in close combat.

And not only is this move so overpowered, but it also has no side effects?

In response to Xia Chen's question, Milotic explained, "Fuwoo—(The only two side effects are that the release speed will be slightly slower, and the energy consumption is also very high, enough to release two or three water sprays.)"

Xia Chen nodded in understanding, recalling the details of Milotic's attack just now. The speed was indeed much slower, and the energy fluctuations were terrifying.

That makes sense, otherwise it would be a bit too outrageous.

"So what's the name of this move?"

Xia Chen asked this question.

Every move needs a name, otherwise how can Xia Chen command it during a battle?

Milotic, use that move!

This is clearly unreasonable, and in shonen manga, shouting out a cool and flashy move name seems to have the effect of increasing the move's power.

Although it won't be like that in reality, sometimes it's all about momentum, and shouting out the name of the move is part of the plan.

Milos hesitated for a moment, then instead of telling Xia Chen the name [Or Leaping in the Abyss] that the system had directly given him, he said, "Fuwoo—(No name yet, I'm uncultured, you come up with one...)"

Xia Chen nodded slightly; it was reasonable that the newly learned move didn't have a name.

After thinking for a while, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"This move resembles a water dragon, or like leaping from the abyss into the sky... Let's call it [Leaping from the Abyss]!"

The name comes from a hexagram in the I Ching, which means "a dragon leaps out of the deep water and soars into the sky." It fits the form of this move perfectly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Milos's eyes. Xia Chen's chosen name was the same as the system's?

Then came a sense of relief—this system originated from him, so the overlap was normal.

In short, the name of this move, unique to Milotic, was thus decided.

…………

Afterwards, Xia Chen rode on Milos and enjoyed the scenery of Yunze Lake from above.

This was Milotic's request, delivered with a firm tone as if it were a wish buried deep in his heart for many years.

And that is indeed the case. More than two years ago, after that guy who was still Ugly Fish was bound to the system, the wish to carry Xia Chen and soar through the blue sky had been buried deep in his heart.

It has now taken more than two years to finally achieve this.

Milotic felt refreshed when it landed after hovering in the air for a while, and its mind was much more at peace.

However, according to the system's progress, its growth rate is only 30% at this point, and it is still quite a distance away from transforming into a true dragon.

It's thanks to Rayquaza's teachings that it can fly now.

Xia Chen was unaware of Milas's thoughts. After welcoming back his returning traveler, he had a new idea in mind: to go out and explore.

Being bored after being a supervisor on the island for more than two months was one reason, but helping Doron evolve and aiding Gullardon in his revenge was another important reason.

However, the original plan to call in "foreign aid" fell through, and how to deal with Milnerton became a big problem.

Xia Chen and Gu Leton were deep in thought because of this matter.

"Why don't we just charge straight in? My strength has mostly recovered."

Therefore, Leighton expressed it this way.

Although the so-called "comeback system" was stuck on the third beginner mission - revenge against Milton, the panacea was naturally not obtained.

However, during this time, the secret plant continued to work in his body, and Xia Chen and his elves also helped him heal, so Leton's strength recovered to some extent.

According to the system's assessment, four or five months ago when I played in the World Youth Championship, I was level 90, which was barely considered "legendary" in this world's classification.

Now, it has reached level 92. Although it is still far from its peak level of 95, Milton has also suffered some injuries. With Deoxys also involved, it may not be unable to put up a fight.

Xia Chen was still somewhat hesitant, mainly due to his concern about the unknown third god, Padia.

What often brings the most fear is not power, but the unknown.

Even the third god of the Sun and Moon era, the Radiant God Necrozma, who was powerful enough to plunder the light of an entire world, was someone Xia Chen knew a little about.

But he knew nothing about the third god of Padia.

Based on the speculation from the "Book of Vermilion and Purple" obtained from Pipana, this third god's power is terrifyingly high, which is the real source of Xia Chen's worries.

Xia Chen confided his concerns to Gu Leton, who remained silent for a moment before saying, "There's no need to worry about that. He... won't descend so easily."

Although Gu Leton did not reveal more information, it still somewhat eased Xia Chen's worries.

After all, since we met, Guleton has been quite reliable.

Since that was the case, Xia Chen no longer hesitated and immediately decided to return to Padiya, a few days after the New Year.

…………

In the following days, Xia Chen made preparations for his long trip after the New Year.

After all, he is no longer the solitary orphan he once was; he needs to take care of Yuanling Island and the Energy Cube Company.
