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

The few bug-like creatures were easily dealt with by a casual move, and the Gluttonous King was in a good mood. He then strode confidently toward the complex of buildings.

However, as soon as he took a step, a tiny, familiar figure flashed past his eyes again.

The Devourer King laughed arrogantly. It turned out to be another bedbug that he had just driven away. Although it had indeed caused a little bit of trouble, a bedbug is still a bedbug.

Let's put an end to this ridiculous farce!

A deep purple energy emanating a foul odor flowed across the surface of the body. The Gluttonous King's body suddenly shuddered, and this highly corrosive, thick, and toxic energy erupted all at once like a volcanic eruption.

Sludge wave!

No, judging from its form, this move should be called "Ocean of Mud" more appropriately, as its stench was so strong that it made Xia Chen, who was hundreds of meters away, gag.

For Zeraora, who is naturally fond of cleanliness, this might be an even more difficult move to deal with than Arceus's [Purifying Light].

Xia Chen couldn't help but feel worried about it.

The first attack after the Five Enhancement Fist was strengthened was all about overwhelming momentum. But the Gluttonous King launched a foul-smelling version of the Flood of Jinshan Temple. Could it handle it?

Zeraora provided the answer with its fist.

A dazzling silver light flashed, and a violent current covered Zeraora's agile body, like a majestic suit of lightning armor, isolating him from the mud wave.

No one could see how this incredibly fast figure arrived in front of the Gluttonous King; all people heard was a deafening roar.

boom--

It's hard to imagine that such a deafening explosion came from a tiny body that's less than two meters tall and weighs only a hundred kilograms. Such a small body, yet such great energy—that's the amazing existence of elves.

The arrogant Gluttonous King was sent flying dozens of meters away by this seemingly ordinary punch, finally collapsing to the ground. His mountain-like, massive body caused the distant buildings to tremble as if they were at the epicenter of an 8-magnitude earthquake.

This punch was earth-shattering!

…………

The scene of Zeraora knocking down a monster that weighed ten thousand times its own weight with a single punch was faithfully recorded by a drone in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

"I'm super, One-Punch Man Cat!"

"Holy crap, what did I just see! Zeraora punched that monster away?"

"It's so ferocious, so brutal, I love it so much, it's like my dream fairy!"

"Minors of Ultra Beasts should watch this video with their parents or guardians."

"I'm sorry, I take back my previous doubts about Zeraora. Cat Bro, there were a lot of people outside just now, I'm kneeling down to you."

"Although Zeraora performed heroically, we still have to praise the Pokémon that made silent sacrifices. The sacrifices of Volcarona and Azure Blade were meaningful!"

"This punch carries the power of all our comrades. Can you withstand it?"

"By the way, what was that move? It was so cool!"

"Lightning Fist, that doesn't seem quite right either."

"..."

Aside from the amazing performance against Zeraora, people expressed their admiration and praise, but the most discussed topic was this unknown move that resembled the Lightning Fist.

Calling it the Lightning Fist wouldn't be too far off, except you'd have to add three words before it—

Plasma Lightning Fist, Zeraora's signature move, is essentially a high-end version of the Lightning Fist.

Not only does it have a higher base power, it also has a special additional effect: for a short period of time, all Normal-type moves used by Zeraora will be converted to Electric-type.

According to Xia Chen's actual testing, it also has an amazing effect of slightly enhancing the damage of these moves in reality, which is equivalent to an alternative "electric skin".

And this plasma lightning fist did not disappoint Xia Chen. With one punch, the lawless Glutton King suffered a great loss.

In theory, Play Rough should deal more damage, since even with STAB (Same Type Advantage), it can't compensate for the exaggerated four-fold super weakness of Fairy-types.

However, Plasma Lightning Punch has two advantages: first, it is faster, which is a common feature of electric-type moves.

Second... naturally, he's even more handsome!

In his previous life, Xia Chen thought the animation of Zeraora's exclusive move was incredibly cool when he played the game. In reality, it was even more impressive, leaving Xi Nao far behind.

Getting hurt is secondary; being handsome is something that lasts a lifetime!

Xia Chen did not get carried away by his temporary advantage. He quickly regained his composure and continued to command, "Lightning Flash!"

Caught off guard, the Gluttonous King fell to the ground. Now is the perfect time to strike while the dog is down.

…………

A flash of silvery light disappeared in an instant, and Zeraora immediately charged at the Gluttonous King, who had retreated dozens of meters, at an even faster speed.

Under the influence of Plasma Lightning Fist, this flash of lightning also became an electric-type move, with increased power and speed.

On the screen, Zeraora, who was still in the same spot in the previous frame, appeared in front of Gluttony King in the next instant, as fast as if he had used teleportation.

With a punch, the Gluttonous King, who was about to stagger to his feet, was plunged back into the giant crater that had been smashed open in the ground.

Five enhanced punches, even the Flash of Light has a more exaggerated power than the Ultimate Impact!

Not content with that, Xia Chen continued to direct, "Next, let's play around!"

After showing off, it's time to return to the battle mode of maximizing damage. Wielding Fairy-type energy that he's not very proficient with, Zeraora has further deepened the negative distance between Guzzlord and the ground.

Now, only most of the Gluttonous King's body is above ground, making him look more and more like a small hill.

Enraged, it couldn't get up for the time being and could only use ranged attacks like its claws and Dragon Pulse to fight back.

However, Zeraora's agile body is enough to dodge most of Gluttony's clumsy attacks, and even if it gets grazed by a wide-range attack like Dragon Pulse or Sludge Wave, the damaged stamina can be immediately replenished with Drain Punch.

Almost every punch restored Zeraora to her peak condition.

There's no way around it. First, the Electric Cat's attack power is extremely high right now. Second, the Gluttonous King's high HP but low defense makes it practically a walking health pack.

It's foreseeable that Zeraora will defeat Gluttony King; it's only a matter of time.

Xia Chen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now much relieved. The battle situation was clear, and even if Zeraora were swallowed whole by the Gluttonous King right now, he wouldn't be too worried.

Zeraora could definitely turn Guguta's internal affairs upside down, just like Goku did to his sister-in-law.

Meanwhile, Lusamine had finished handling the evacuation of the crowd and flew to Xia Chen's side on a Dragonite.

"Everything's fine here. I just received news that the island guardians of Ula Ula Island and Bonny Island have appeared, and the situation on both islands has been brought under initial control."

Xia Chen asked in surprise, "The island's guardian spirits are Tapu Moo and Tapu Fini?"

The so-called island guardians are none other than the legendary Tapu family.

The four Tapu each guard one of the four main islands of Alola.

These are Tapu Koko (Electric Fairy), Tapu Lele (Psychic Fairy), Tapu Bulu (Grass Fairy), and Tapu Fini (Water Fairy).

These four guardian deities are extraordinary. Although they are known as "second-tier deities" in folklore, and their base stats are only 570, which is lower than those of pseudo-deities, their strength in battle is exceptional.

Their excellent racial distribution and unique aura characteristics made them unparalleled in the competitive environment when they first appeared in the Sun and Moon generation.

Their strength is so exaggerated that powerful Pokémon are proud to be given the "Tapu" surname, such as Tapu Bear or Tapu Gorilla.

Although we don't know how powerful they are in the real world, being given the title of "guardian deity" means they are probably no weaker than the three silly birds.

…………

Pulling herself out of her reverie, Lusamine beside her nodded and replied, "Yes, these great gods haven't shown themselves for hundreds of years. Although they can't quell the Ultra Beast tide, they can at least control a few Ultra Beasts with great destructive power."

Xia Chen felt even more at ease.

It's all settled now. With the four guardian deities in action and the powerful reinforcements I've invited arriving in Alola soon, this sudden riot should finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.

As Xia Chen was thinking this, Lusamine added, "However... the Ultimate Cave doesn't seem to be closing at all, and more and more Ultra Beasts are coming out, including some that are similar in strength to this Gluttonous King..."

Her tone was quite self-reproachful, and Xia Chen also looked up at the clearly visible crack above his head.

His excellent eyesight actually allowed him to notice a group of dark figures that were not densely packed but moved extremely fast.

Xia Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that after the spatial fluctuation rate breaks through a certain threshold, the number and strength of the ultimate beasts that appear are more than one order of magnitude higher than before. This can also be seen from the size of this ultimate cave. We should be prepared for this rift to exist for more than two hours."

Lusamine nodded heavily and replied, "I understand."

Xia Chen glanced at her, a sudden ripple of emotion stirring within him. The powerful, domineering, and cunning Rosamund was now as docile as a kitten in his presence...

Life is truly unpredictable and wondrous...

While Xia Chen and Lusamine were discussing the current situation in Alola, the battle between Zeraora and Guzzlord was nearing its end.

Even with his strength reaching the level of a "bird" and his health as high as an ox, this guy still showed signs of fatigue under Zeraora's frenzied attacks.

Realizing it was no match for its opponent, the Gluttonous King, driven by its survival instincts, tried to escape the battlefield by digging a hole. But Zeraora wouldn't let it have its way, grabbing its claws and pulling the Gluttonous King, who could weigh up to 10,000 tons, out.

The onlookers were stunned.

They had seen many grand occasions, but they had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene.

Zeraora was really having a blast today, its face beaming with an excitement Xia Chen had never seen before. It was a subtle expression, but it still revealed a certain feeling in it.

After about ten minutes of relentless beating, the lawless and arrogant Gluttonous King finally ran out of strength to even lift his claws.

Xia Chen threw out the Ultimate Ball directly, without waiting for Zeraora to bring it to the brink of death before attempting to use it.

…………

Speaking of which, the Poké Ball is really cutting-edge technology. A monster that is tens of meters tall and weighs tens of thousands of tons can turn into a white light and enter the ball.

Once the danger was over, the drone decisively approached and aimed its camera at the Ultimate Ball, which was spinning among the ruins.

The live stream attracted hundreds of millions of viewers from all over the world, all staring intently at the small ball. If someone were to compile statistics, it could probably set a world record for the most people watching the Pokémon capture moment simultaneously.

However, the Gluttonous King was no pushover. It struggled to bounce off the first Ultra Ball after only three seconds of being thrown.

Xia Chen wasn't surprised. He wasn't a superhuman, and even a centipede, though dead, doesn't die easily. After all, the Gluttonous King was a legendary Pokémon.

His main purpose in throwing the Ultimate Ball was to make this guy expend more energy struggling to escape the Ultimate Ball, making it easier to capture him later.

Although his methods were somewhat despicable, Xia Chen didn't care about that when dealing with enemies.

"Roar--"

Guzzlord burst from its Poké Ball, its fury palpable, and its roar nearly overturned the approaching drone.

But Xia Chen knew this was just impotent rage. After Zeraora unleashed another Plasma Lightning Punch, he threw out a second Ultra Ball.

"Snapped--"
