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

While secretly grumbling to himself, Xia Chen introduced the girl he had just met to Xianbu and the others.

Chapter 484 I have something to tell you, but don't be afraid.

Although it was a bit abrupt, Senbu did not refuse the request to take a photo with Shuilian.

Not satisfied with the group photo, Shui Lian blushed and ran to Milos, saying something suggestive like, "Can I touch you?"

Milotic, seeing the girl's innocent and adorable appearance, nodded slightly in agreement. Then, Water Lily threw herself onto Milotic, stroking his smooth scales with her hands and making amused, incomprehensible sounds like "woo-woo-ah-ah."

In another context, this girl would definitely be treated as a pervert.

However, considering Lana's special fondness for Water-type Pokémon, this scene becomes understandable.

After sticking to Milotic for a while, Water Lily reluctantly got off him, her face full of satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I have a very happy day!"

Shui Lian said this.

Xia Chen's lips twitched. "You... what have you taken my girl... no, my elf for?!"

He corrected, "It should be 'thank you for your hospitality.' We all enjoyed the meal today."

"Oh, Mom would be so happy to hear that!"

Shui Lian said, "This shop is run by my mother, and she also developed all the dishes."

So this is her family's restaurant?

Xia Chen recalled information about Shui Lian's family.

In my memory, Shui Lian's family consisted of five people: her parents and a pair of twin sisters named Shi Ting and Shi Han.

The reason he was so impressed with the twins was that in a Western environment where everyone's name is something like "Liliel" or "Mao," the existence of such a... Gen Z-style name was quite eye-catching.

Shui Lian's father was a fisherman, but he was also a fisherman who often came back empty-handed. Perhaps under his influence, Shui Lian also loved fishing.

But her fishing skills are clearly far superior; one of the most famous scenes in the Sun & Moon anime—catching Kyogre—was created by Lana.

It's hard to imagine what the screenwriter's mental state was like when writing this scene...

As for Shui Lian's mother, it doesn't seem to be clearly stated what her job is in the game and animation. Perhaps she is a housewife who takes care of the children at home. After all, Shi Ting and Shi Han are only six or seven years old, which is the time when parents are most exhausted.

It's not much different to open a restaurant in this world.

…………

As she interacted with the fairies, Water Lily gradually calmed down.

She then remembered to ask Xia Chen an important question: "By the way, what brings you to Alola this time? Can I find Milotic and the others later... and play with you too?"

Shui Lian lowered her head and playfully stuck out her tongue, almost blurting out her true feelings!

Xia Chen's heart, already riddled with wounds, no longer cared about this little pain. He said, "I'm here on vacation. You have no idea how cold it is in Donghuang this year. As for visiting me... maybe sometime."

Although I was thinking of getting to know Lillie through Mizuren and then Lusamine, there was no need to be too deliberate; Mizuren would take the initiative.

Sure enough, the girl nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Yes, then Teacher Xia Chen, let's add a Piplup!"

Xia Chen readily pulled out his phone, but couldn't help feeling a pang of regret. Had that penguin's clutches already reached Alola?

When we said goodbye to Shui Lian and left the restaurant, night had completely fallen.

The night view of Alora is extremely beautiful. Unlike the dazzling neon lights of Zhijiang or Shangjing, the sky is dotted with stars in the deep blue sky, and you can occasionally see small meteors falling straight down.

Hauor City has almost no tall buildings; the tallest building is the Alola League headquarters building, which was recently built in the city center.

Although it looks rural, the living experience is still very friendly.

Xia Chen slept very well on his first night in Alora.

The next morning, Xia Chen woke up while it was still dark. He opened the window and basked in the rising sun and cool sea breeze. Suddenly, Xia Chen thought of going for a morning run.

He developed a habit of jogging in the mornings for a while, probably during his high school years after his parents disappeared, so he could go to the market every day to buy the freshest vegetables.

Later, as things got busier, this good habit was broken.

Looking at the road stretching almost to the horizon beside the azure sea, he felt it would be a shame not to use it for running.

Most of the elves were still sleeping, so Xia Chen didn't wake them up. He decided to go out and find a breakfast shop to bring them breakfast.

As Xia Chen was leaving, he ran into Daiki Seiya. However, Xia Chen was going out, while Daiki Seiya had just returned, his face showing emptiness and exhaustion.

He took the initiative to greet her: "Haha, Xia, are you going out for a run? Young people have so much energy!"

It seems you have more energy after indulging all night...

Xia Chen silently complained in his heart, but replied aloud, "Yeah, the weather looks nice, it would be a shame not to go out. I'll go out and buy some breakfast while I'm at it. By the way, is there a large market nearby? I'm planning to buy some ingredients."

He figured he'd be staying in Alora for a while, and couldn't go out to eat every day, so he asked Shigeya Oki for some information.

Oki Naruya laughed and said, "That's easy. I'll give you the phone number of our school's supplier. Don't worry, they will only supply the best ingredients. Otherwise, my pampered students won't be able to get used to the food."

Xia Chen nodded in delight, "That's great, thank you for your help."

…………

After saying goodbye to Daiki Naruya, Xia Chen started her morning run.

Since gaining superpowers and the power of aura, Xia Chen's physical abilities have been improving in tandem with his mental strength.

While not reaching the level of the people in True New Town, their overall qualities definitely surpass the peak of ordinary people.

Xia Chen ran more than 20 kilometers back and forth in less than an hour, including the time spent buying breakfast.

Xia Chen didn't know what the world record for the marathon was in his previous life, but he figured it wouldn't be much different even if it wasn't broken.

After Xia Chen finished showering, the sun had already risen completely above the sea level outside. It was just past seven o'clock, and all the Pokémon except for the sleepy Volcarona and Draco were up.

Xia Chen ignored the two guys and invited Xianbu and the others to have breakfast together.

Meanwhile, the fire moth, in its "sleep," received news that greatly surprised it.

…………

Ultimate World.

Much of this world remains shrouded in endless cold and darkness, but even in despair, light and hope persist.

After a period of growth, the "sun" that the Volcano moth has transformed into has begun to take shape.

Its ability to receive sunlight has expanded from the planet inhabited by Poison Baby and Jawless Needle Dragon to a much larger area, which means that the amount of faith power it can absorb has also made a qualitative and quantitative leap.

But at the same time, the probability and risk of it being watched by that unknowable evil being are also increasing.

Twice its existence was almost discovered, but thanks to the [light] warning, Volcano Moth has managed to survive until now.

On this day, when its consciousness re-entered the Ultimate World, [Light] asked a very strange question.

"Where are you now? Why do I sense a faint connection between your physical body and the Ultimate World?"

Volcano paused for a moment, then pondered for a while before understanding the meaning of "[light]".

While I was asleep, I projected my consciousness into the ultimate world, while I remained in the real world. Now, my physical body is also connected to the ultimate world.

"Xia Chen seemed to have said... this place is called Alora?"

After thinking for a moment, Volcano said this.

Because it spends half its time in the Ultimate World, which is in a dream state, Volcarona wasn't very interested in Xia Chen taking it out, and only vaguely knew the name of the place.

"Alolan..."

[Light] murmured the name to himself, feeling that the place sounded somewhat familiar. Perhaps it was a connection point between the Ultimate World and the Pokémon World?

"In short, this place most likely has a passage connecting the two worlds."

Whatever the reason, this conclusion will not change.

"what..."

Upon hearing this news, Volcano was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "What impact will this have on us?"

[It won't affect us much, but it might have a significant impact on your world. Due to the negative energy generated by "Darkness," the spirits of the Ultimate World have become exceptionally brutal. If they were to enter your world, they could cause considerable destruction.]

Volcarona wasn't scared. "Hmm... with Guleton and Deoxys-senpai around, it should be fine, right?"

Having observed the Ultimate World for a year, it found the so-called Ultra Beasts to be nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, those Poison Baby were rather cute and silly.

[Light], being well-informed, said seriously, "Never underestimate the power of the Ultimate World. You have never seen those powerful Ultimate Pokémon. I have seen a powerful Guzzlord that can swallow an island whole with its mouth open."

Volcarona thought about it and realized that eating islands was something that Guleton couldn't do, so this ultimate monster called "Guleton" must be pretty powerful.

Hearing this, it panicked a little and hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do? Should we tell Xia Chen about this?"

"You can give him a heads-up, but don't scare him. The passage isn't that easy to open, but once it is, the intense aura will definitely attract powerful elves to your world."

Volcano nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand!"

…………

The weather in Alora is very stable, either sunny or rainy, and today is still sunny.

After breakfast, Xia Chen received a message from Shui Lian—

[Aloha! May I come play with you today? (Eagerly looking at the sea lion.jpg)]

Xia Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

We only met last night, is this girl in such a hurry?

Well, I don't have anything important to do today anyway, so he replied, "Okay, let's meet at your restaurant tonight."

It is obviously inappropriate to invite a minor girl you have just met to your place of residence.

Xia Chen certainly didn't have any dirty thoughts, but given the impropriety of being a public figure, it was best to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Soon, a message came back from the other side—

[Okay, okay, my friend wants to come too, is that okay? (Shy sea lion with a ball.jpg)]

A friend? Is it Lillie?

Xia Chen was just thinking about how to get close to her when a pillow was handed to him as he was about to go to sleep.

After pretending to consider it for a while, he replied with feigned reluctance, "Okay, see you tonight."
