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

boom--

The lightning pierced through the dark clouds, transforming into a golden dragon that roared down with overwhelming power.

In the rain, this bolt of lightning was like a tracking missile with its own positioning system. The fire-breathing dragon didn't even need to dodge, and calmly accepted being swallowed by the lightning dragon.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

The Charizard roared and howled, bathed in lightning, as if the lightning had not caused any harm but instead was recharging it.

Willpower is the best defense.

Charizard, having fully charged, flapped its wings and charged toward Sylveon, its claws surging with energy of an unknown element.

Shadow Claw?

Dragon claw?

Or perhaps it's the Flame Fist or the Lightning Fist?

Xia Chen's eyelids twitched as he considered the possibilities.

These moves all have attributes that can be resisted or even resisted, but guessing the correct one out of the four is actually quite difficult.

Xia Chen chickened out, and to be on the safe side, he chose to run away.

"Sneak Attack by a Hidden Spirit!"

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

Sylveon vanished into the void without a trace, leaving Charizard's attack empty-handed.

The techniques on its sharp claws were also revealed, and they were clearly dragon claws!

An attack that will be immune to Fairy-type moves that Sylveon is best at.

Is this really so risky, going against the grain...?

Xia Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

Dozens of meters behind Charizard, Sylveon emerged from a gap in the void.

She didn't choose to unleash the second stage of damage with the Ghostly Strike; with the Ghostly Fire active, her attack power was minimal.

You might even get hit by a Charizard's Dragon Claw, which would be even more of a loss.

Just as the two elves were facing off, the dark clouds in the sky were suddenly dispersed by an unknown force.

Is it time for rain?

The audience looked up and saw that it was an elf that had parted the dark clouds.

A spirit that brought painful memories to this land a month ago—Eternatus!

Agitation, unease, and commotion erupted in the audience, and the stands were instantly filled with clamor.

At this moment, they recalled the fear of being dominated by Aeontana.

However, they soon discovered that things were not as they had thought.

"Fur—"

Wujitana showed no intention of attacking, but hovered in the air, scattering countless crystalline purple energy particles.

"This is... a Galerite?"

Chapter 415 Next Stop, Kanto

The particles scattered in the sky were completely absorbed by the giant wristbands on Xia Chen and Dan Di's wrists, making them sparkle.

This indicates that the enormous energy previously depleted in the wristband has been replenished!

The significance is self-evident; Eternatus gave this exhibition match a second chance to Dynamax!

The restless audience gradually calmed down, and they realized that the sudden appearance of Wuji Taina was not to cause trouble, but to replenish the energy of Xia Chen and Dan Di's giant wristbands.

Undoubtedly, this is an act of expressing friendliness.

"It seems that Eternatus is expressing in this way his willingness to live in harmony with the people and elves of Galar."

On the commentary stage, Cynthia gave a very official commentary.

As intelligent as she was, she naturally understood that this "unexpected event" was most likely set up by Xia Chen himself, with the aim of promoting the relationship between Wujitana and the Galatians.

So she naturally went along with the explanation.

"This may be the first legendary elf that has been willing to show goodwill to human society since the human elf civilization entered the modern era, although it left some unpleasant memories in this area a month ago."

"But life must go on, and society must progress. I believe that with the help of Anuttara and humanity, the Galar region will achieve an even more glorious civilization."

After a perfect score on the essay, the screen was filled with comments like "tears welling up" and "great vision." With Xia Chen's series of actions, the gap between humanity and the Eternal Tana was quietly melting away.

After a quick stroll around like clockwork at work, Mugentai disappeared into the horizon, and the sky above the Quanjian Arena cleared up again.

On the battlefield, Xia Chen and Dan Di exchanged a knowing smile and each raised their giant wristbands.

This charity exhibition match, themed "Embrace Dynamax," will naturally end with a spectacular clash of Dynamax moves!

Two red lights flashed, and Mega Sylveon and Charizard returned to the Poké Ball in the trainer's hand.

Then, with the infusion of Galar particles, the Poké Ball began to grow larger and larger.

Amidst a deafening roar of cheers from the audience, two enormous Poké Balls were thrown out.

Gigantamax Charizard and Dynamax Sylveon make a stunning appearance, completely filling the already much larger arena than usual.

The two enormous elves stared at each other, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit and the anticipation of meeting a worthy opponent.

With a flourish, Dante waved his cape on his back and shouted passionately, "Charizard, Gigantamax Hellfire!"

Not to be outdone, Xia Chen shouted back, "Xianbu, the Giant Rock!"

The incomparably blazing, world-destroying flames collided violently with the massive, heavy rocks, as thick as mountains. The clash between rock and fire unleashed an energy fluctuation that was almost the most terrifying in the history of human-elves battles, apart from legendary elves.

The passionate clash of moves amplified the cheers from the audience, making it difficult to discern whether the cheers or the sound of the energy explosions were louder.

And no one cares about such trivial details.

The billions of viewers, both at the venue and online, watching the live broadcast of this exhibition match were completely immersed in the frenzy of this epic clash of titans.

…………

Xia Chen ultimately lost the exhibition match with a score of 2:3.

It wasn't a close defeat.

In fact, after Sylveon fell to Gigantamax Charizard's second Gigantamax Inferno, Milotic and Gardevoir went through a lot of trouble to defeat Mega Charizard Y.

That's right, after Charizard was no longer Gigantamaxed, Leon made it undergo Mega Evolution.

Although the method was indeed a bit harsh, it also fully demonstrated how much importance they placed on Xia Chen.

However, no one cared about the outcome of the match, neither the two players, Xia Chen and Dan Di, nor the general public.

One match, four Dynamaxes—that completely satisfied their curiosity and expectations about Dynamax.

Compared to the utterly insignificant result, what they care about more is... when they can use Dynamax!

However, this system is destined to be unable to be widely adopted in a short period of time.

This is true, at least outside the Galar region.

Because after further research by Xia Chen and Dr. Mulan, they discovered that besides the Dynamax Band, there was another condition for Pokémon to Dynamax—

It needs to be in a place with an extremely high energy point, which is something formed by a large number of Galer particles.

Since it is the place where Mugentsuna awakened, the city of Kenshin is naturally very prosperous.

Other cities in Galar can also build Giant Energy Points.

But this can't be done in other areas unless Mujitana goes there for a visit.

When Dan Di learned of this news, Xia Chen keenly noticed a hint of joy on his face.

It wasn't that he was happy that the Galar region could monopolize the resources of Dynamax. Although he was wholeheartedly devoted to the development of his hometown, he was by no means such a selfish and narrow-minded person.

What he cared about was status, the status of the Galar region.

The fact that Dynamaxing can only be done in Galar means that most of the major tournaments in the future will be held in Galar.

Dynamaxing will also bring important resources to this area, such as new residents and trade surplus.

Xia Chen didn't care about any of that; he was currently thinking about what to do next after he finished researching Dynamax.

First and foremost, the most important thing is to keep the appointment.

He was fulfilling a promise he made a month ago with Sakaki at the underground energy plant regarding Deoxys.

Actually, after finding the energy core in his own yard, Xia Chen had a vague guess that the other one was in the hands of the Rockets.

Later, when I met Wataru by chance and heard from him that Team Rocket had been inexplicably active in the Eastern Region at that time, this conjecture became even more certain.

However, he lacked the ability to directly confront the Rockets at the time, which is why he delayed taking action.

Fortunately, I ran into Sakaki in Galar this time, and I was finally able to resolve this matter that had been on my mind.

…………

"So you're planning to go to Kanto next?"

In a beverage shop in Quanjuku City.

A blonde beauty, whose stunning features were still evident despite wearing sunglasses, asked a question to the handsome young man with an Eastern face sitting opposite her.

The two were none other than Cynthia and Xia Chen in disguise.

Given their current fame, without disguising themselves, this store would likely be soon besieged by enthusiastic fans.

Even in disguise, several paparazzi were secretly taking pictures of Xia Chen and Xiluona on their "intimate date" in a dark corner outside the glass curtain wall of the beverage shop.

In Galar, it's very common for trainers to become celebrities. For example, Ms. Marie, who debuted around the same time as Xia Chen, has a fan club called "Shout Team".

Miss Mary herself was very distressed by this.

Xia Chen noticed the camera pointed at him, but he didn't stop it.

He glanced at Cynthia and teased, "Someone is secretly filming us. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's trending topic on the platform will be something like, '[Cynthia and Xia Chen on an intimate date, their relationship may be confirmed]'."
