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

Although due to current strength and control over energy, this limit will not be very high.

But the Shadow Ball, which had been charging up for three seconds, was enough to give Milotic a run for its money.

It's fair to say that if Milotic hadn't instinctively fired a water cannon and taken the full damage from the Shadow Ball, he would have had almost no chance of turning the tide.

However, even though Milotic reacted quickly, the water cannon he managed to gather only lasted for less than two seconds before the incredibly powerful Shadow Ball crashed down on Milotic.

A much louder explosion than before rang out, followed by Milotic letting out a muffled groan of pain.

"Waaah—"

His competitive spirit prevented him from showing his vulnerability in front of Ibrahimovic, but the physical pain was undeniably real.

Looking down at the spot where the Shadow Ball struck, Milotic's body, now somewhat blackened by Ghost-type energy, was lost in confusion.

After only a few rounds of fighting with Ibrahimovic, it seemed as if she was leading him by the nose, as if she could read his every move.

Milos, who has watched professional matches on TV, knows what this means; in the words of the commentators, it means reading first.

The reason why it is read first is very simple: its tactics are limited and its available moves are scarce.

Fortunately, he possessed both of these qualities, so it's no wonder that despite his physical advantages, he couldn't defeat Ibrahimovic.

The more Milotic thought about it, the stronger his sense of frustration became.

Does the first encounter have to end with me being unilaterally crushed?

Milotic was unwilling to accept this.

But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?

I don't have any tricks up my sleeve to break the deadlock...

and many more!

Techniques?

I think I have another move that's definitely not within Eevee's predictive range!

…………

Ibrahimovic jumped back onto the deck chair, ready to repeat the same tactic.

Although her purpose was obvious, Eevee didn't care whether Milotic knew or not, and even if he did, so what?

Does he have a way to crack it?

Given the limited skills Milas currently possesses, it is impossible for him to do so.

Eevee was confident enough to unleash a high-speed stellar attack and escape before Milotic could dive into the water.

But what if they manage to crack it?

So what if it's cracked? It's just an intra-team match. If Milotic really has the ability to break the deadlock, Ibrahimovic will only be happy for Milotic's fighting talent.

She certainly doesn't want to be carrying five opponents at the World Championships.

Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Leon... even Red, none of them have a single Pokémon...

Okay, there are always a few who drag us down.

Putting aside these random thoughts, Ibuki launched herself again, not wanting to give Milotic too much breathing room.

She was fully prepared, and as soon as the water cannon shot out from Milotic's mouth, the Shadow Clone Technique could be released immediately.

But to Ibrahimovic's surprise, Milotic made no move as he got closer and closer to that big head.

He gave up resistance?

Ibrahimovic felt confused, disappointed, and even inexplicably worried.

This is her intuition stemming from her ability to sense danger; Ibrahimovic trusts her intuition implicitly.

In his past life, Eevee used this intuition countless times to turn danger into safety in adventures and battles.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; it's impossible to make unfounded predictions before Milotic makes its move.

With a hint of helplessness and trepidation, Eevee landed once again on Milotic's smooth skin.

…………

Having skillfully gathered its energy, Eevee was about to unleash a Swift Strike and escape, when it suddenly found itself spinning...

It seemed as if Milotic beneath him suddenly began to dance!

What happened?

Before Eevee could figure this out, she found herself unable to control herself and began to spin along with Milotic's body.

To hold on tightly or to let go—this doesn't seem like a choice worth considering.

Who knows how long this Milotic spin will last? Not to mention how much the dizziness will affect me after it's over, am I just going to waste all this time spinning around here?

Ibrahimovic seized the opportunity and chose to let go without hesitation.

She was lucky; she fell on hard tiles instead of in water.

Although the fall left me somewhat disoriented, it was still much better than falling into the water and getting my fur soaked, thus losing my ability to move quickly.

"Buyi..."

The spinning dizziness and the pain of crashing to the ground caused even the strong-willed Eevee to let out a soft groan.

Immediately, her excellent combat skills made her perk up and look at Milotic.

However, this scene in the pool left even the well-traveled Ibrahimovic stunned and speechless.

The Milotic that stood upright in the water, spinning continuously, with overflowing energy surging around it, was using...

Dragon Dance?

Eevee, whose previous life was nicknamed "Dragon Slayer Fairy," was the first to think of this move.

But after observing for a while, she noticed something was wrong.

Milotic's dancing posture seems more agile and enchanting compared to the grand and majestic Dragon Dance.

With its extremely rich combat experience, Eevee immediately thought of a very uncommon move: Quiver Dance!

…………

The reason Quiver Dance is considered unpopular isn't because it's weak; on the contrary, it's incredibly powerful, so powerful that countless Special Attack-oriented Pokémon are envious of it.

After use, it can increase the user's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed!

Special Attack means offensive power, Special Defense means higher durability and resistance, and Speed ​​means a more agile body and more opportunities to strike.

Without a doubt, Butterfly Dance is a near-perfect power-up move!

However, its unpopularity must have its unique reasons, namely, there are very few Pokémon that can learn this move.

Butterfree, Swallowtail, Violet... Besides these butterfly-type Pokémon, the only two Pokémon that can learn this move are Lady Skirt and Bellossom.

But today, Eevee saw the butterfly dance on the body of his almost inseparable companion...

That's a Milotic!

In the ten years I've lived through this life and the past, I've seen Milotic perform the Dragon Dance, but I've never seen a Milotic perform the Butterfly Dance!

Butterfly Dance... Milotic... These two completely unrelated words combined together feel as jarring as hearing that there exists a diligent, early-to-bed, early-to-rise king of absenteeism!

This unbelievable scene left Ibrahimovic stunned for a moment. Could it be that his brain had been damaged by the fall and he was hallucinating?

No, no, this battle can't go on. There must be something wrong between me and Milotic. The key is to figure this out.

Thinking of this, Ibrahimovic quickly ran to Xia Chenna, the referee and spectator on the sidelines, and requested a timeout for the game.

…………

"Bu-i-bu-i—"

In Xia Chen's arms, Eevee pointed at the Butterfly Dance move in the Pokédex on the phone and called it earnestly.

"You mean, Milotic just used Butterfly Dance instead of Dragon Dance?"

Xia Chen frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

Chapter 99 Is My Elf Legal? (Please vote and subscribe!)

Xia Chen initially mistook Milotic's move for Dragon Dance.

This is normal, after all, Milotic's constantly spinning posture is very similar to a move that Dragon-type Pokémon or Pokémon with some connection to Dragon-type can learn, such as Dragon Dance.

At the time, Xia Chen was curious about when Milos had secretly learned the Dragon Dance behind his back, but he wasn't too surprised.

Because when I was at the Southern Metropolis Research Institute some time ago, Milnas had studied under Director Lu, who was a senior Milnas researcher, for a period of time.

What if that Milotic is going down an unconventional physical attack build, and even abandoning the more useful [Coil] move in favor of the bizarre [Dragon Dance] move?

Although the possibility is small, it can barely explain why Milotic suddenly mastered the strange thing called Dragon Dance.

Xia Chen's expectations have been lowered considerably; he's content as long as he can understand the source of the elves' abilities.

But when Ibrahimovic told himself it was a butterfly dance and not a dragon dance, he was still stunned.

I can come up with a reason for the dragon dance, but how am I supposed to come up with a reason for the butterfly dance?

Your mother is descended from a butterfly.

How can a fish and a butterfly get together?

You're kidding me!

Xia Chen looked at Milotic with complicated emotions. He found himself increasingly unable to understand this once unremarkable ugly fish.

…………

Milos looked at Xia Chen with some confusion. "Didn't you give me this system?"

Why are you finding this strange?

He looked at Eevee and Ralts beside Xia Chen and suddenly realized something.

Without a doubt, this system is the best aid for helping elves grow; even Xia Chen might not have an extra one.

Eevee and Ralts probably don't have any, so Xia Chen is pretending not to know how he learned Quiver Dance because he's afraid they'll get jealous.
