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

Like a stone thrown into a still pond, the first words of the King of the Brilliant Crown calmed all the villagers' grievances and pain.

For the first time, they felt that their years of perseverance and faith had been worthwhile.

As the abundant power of faith surged into her body, the Crowned King suppressed her excitement and, recalling the script given to her by Xia Chen, continued, "My return heralds the end of the thousands of years of disorder in the Crown Snowfield, beginning today."

The crowd below was naturally in an uproar, with the villagers showering their gods with endless praise.

King Rai turned to look at the completely burned-down Frozen Village, his eyes filled with pity, and said, "Those who sow sins will surely suffer calamity. I will first absolve this sin."

It gently raised its right hand, and a dazzling emerald green light shone forth. A pure white flower bloomed on the crown of buds, and amidst the villagers' adoring gazes, it slowly drifted into the wind.

Then, a miracle occurred.

Wherever the radiant flower reached, countless energy particles shimmering with life force were scattered, and thus, withered trees came back to life, ashes were reborn, and those villages and houses that had been burned down by the evil firebirds were miraculously restored to their original state!

Miss Joy's worldview was once again shaken.

Although she had heard that Xerneas, the god of life, had brought half a lifeless forest back to life, the shock she felt when something similarly extraordinary happened before her eyes was still beyond compare.

Having witnessed the miracle firsthand, Joyce was now unconsciously overcome with the urge to believe in the Rachelon King.

The villagers, who were already believers, were so excited that they couldn't even speak.

Their God helped them rebuild their destroyed homes!

Leimen!

After the entire Frozen Village was restored to its original state by the power of the Rachelon King, the Rachelon King, having finished showing off, began to slowly drift away.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving again?"

A villager behind him couldn't help but ask a question, which immediately drew responses from others, and the Pokémon Center became noisy again.

The Crowned Queen did not turn around, and said calmly, "My departure is for our next reunion."

“My subjects, remember, turn away from evil and do good, and you will live in peace forever.”

Leaving behind a wise saying, the Crowned Queen completely disappeared into the snow.

…………

call--

A biting wind howled through the valley, and the Calycerin and the Galarian Moltres, which had been "defeated by the Calycerin in one move," were flying side by side in the snow-covered mountains.

If the villagers of Dongning Village were to see this scene, their faith would probably collapse.

The Crown King's face no longer held the "calm and indifferent" expression he used to put on airs, but rather a complex mix of excitement and melancholy.

As it flew, it muttered to itself, "Alas, I actually conspired with you to deceive my people, this is truly... alas."

Zoroark, who had transformed into the form of a Galarian Moltres, turned to look at it and thought to himself, "Weren't you just excitedly shouting something about 'So much faith power'?"

Now you're starting to complain?

If their own trainers found out, they would probably comment that he was "hypocritical".

However, Zoroark wasn't one to gossip, so after muttering a few complaints to himself, he stopped thinking about it.

The two elves, each with their own thoughts, soon stopped in front of a cave in the valley, the very base that Xia Chen had "borrowed" from the Blizzard King the night before.

"Oh, judging from your expression, the plan must be going quite smoothly?"

Upon seeing the two elves return together, Xia Chen, who was strategizing in the tent, raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

The Queen of the Crane, her expression complex, nodded and said, "Very successful. I have gained a considerable amount of pure faith power, but..."

Xia Chen continued, "But you feel a little guilty?"

"Guilt..."

The Crowned King murmured to himself, repeating the words, and then affirmed, "Yes, I did indeed feel this way because I deceived them."

Xia Chen retorted, "Deception? How can it be deception? What did you deceive the villagers about?"

The Crowned Queen did not reply, but merely frowned slightly, pondering why Xia Chen would deny it.

Seeing that it didn't answer, Xia Chen continued, "I know that the whole thing was a carefully planned scheme. The crisis was fake, the Galarian Moltres was actually Zoroark in disguise, the burned-down houses were also Zoroark's illusions, and even your Radiant Flower repairing the village was fake. But what does it matter?"

"Isn't it enough as long as the emotions are genuine?"

The Queen of the Lace Crown retorted, "No, if everything before was fake, how could the emotions that arise at the end be real?"

Xia Chen shook his head and smiled, "No, it's because you don't understand humans. We are the best at finding the real in the fake. For this reason, our civilization has created novels, music, and movies. These are all man-made and fake, but they have brought people countless emotions. You can treat today's events as a movie. The events are fake, but the emotions are real. Otherwise, how could you gain the power of faith?"

The Crowned King felt that Xia Chen was being sophistical, but it couldn't find a way to refute him, so it remained silent.

Even the Crested King itself didn't realize that after talking with Xia Chen, most of the melancholy in its heart had dissipated.

…………

After gathering his thoughts, King Rai-Crowned said, "Today's harvest was not bad, but the number of believers I have is still too small, far from my peak."

Xia Chen replied, "Of course I know that. The villagers of Dongning Village were never my main target... Hmm, it should be back soon, right?"

King Rai asked, puzzled, "What? Did you send anyone else?"

Just as he finished speaking, Rotom's cell phone flew in from outside the tent.

"Hiss~ It's so cold outside, Loto!"

Rotom displayed the emoticon "(ó﹏ò。)" on the electronic screen to express his feelings.

Xia Chen squinted and ruthlessly exposed it, "I remember that after Theonila's modification, your lowest tolerance temperature was below minus one hundred degrees Celsius, right?"

Rotom shouted back, "Even if I don't freeze to death, I can still feel the cold, Rotom!"

Xia Chen was at a loss with this increasingly clever electronic ghost after its modification, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, thank you for your hard work. So, did you film the video?"

"We have fulfilled our mission, Loto!"

Rotom made an emoticon "?*?(ˊ?ˋ*)??*" on the screen.

Xia Chen nodded. "Let's broadcast it and see."

Rotom immediately played a holographic projection in front of Xia Chen, which was a record of everything that happened from the arrival of the "Evil Firebird" in Frozen Village to the departure of the Calyreth King.

Upon first encountering the advanced technology of human civilization, the Queen of the Crown asked in astonishment, "What is this? It can actually recreate scenes from the past?"

While examining the video for any "gaffes," Xia Chen explained, "This technique is called photography. Simply put, it's a method of recording light reflected from an object using a photosensitive medium."

The Crowned King nodded, seemingly confused but also impressed. To its ears, Xia Chen's words roughly translated to "Aba aba, aba aba aba, write it down aba..."

It's just a record of things from the past.

A new question arose: "Why record it?"

Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Of course, it's through the great invention of the [Internet] that the whole world can see your heroic figure."

King Lei Guan: "(*?ロ?)"

The whole world... has witnessed my heroic figure?

Although it didn't know how big the world was, the Crowned King wasn't a frog in a well; it understood that it was definitely a much, much larger place than the Crown Snowfield.

Let the whole world see how much faith that must have taken!

But another problem arises.

"Wait...doesn't that mean I'm going to deceive the whole world?"

Xia Chen was speechless. Was this hurdle insurmountable?

On the one hand, he was somewhat annoyed by the stubbornness of the King of the Rachel, but on the other hand, he secretly admired the guy's kindness and persistence.

But sometimes, this world needs to be kept together by lies, my friend.

Xia Chen sighed inwardly. Fine, let me bear all the sins!

…………

"No matter what, I will definitely post this video."

Xia Chen said firmly, "I admit my high-sounding words and selfishness, but this is the best way to help you regain your strength. From the moment we made the deal, whether you can regain your strength is no longer your own business, so I hope you can understand. Even if you don't understand, I will still do this."

The Crowned King remained silent.

With its intelligence, how could it not see that Xia Chen was using "self-destruction" to satisfy its own awkward pride?

So what else can we do?

Should we continue to argue our case?

That would not only make me feel more awkward, but would also further hurt Xia Chen, who genuinely wanted to be good to me.

The Queen of the Rairen silently made a decision: once she regained her power, she would definitely repay this human!

"Wait, it seems we don't need to send them anymore."

Xia Chen, scrolling through his phone, said with a strange look, "Someone has already posted it."

"Huh? Who could it be?"

Now, not only the Lacecrown King, but even Zoroark curiously came over.

In such a critical moment, who would have the leisure to film a video?

Was my acting not good enough, or was that guy the kind of ruthless person who would post on social media even if he got hit by a car and was covered in blood?

"The Night Watchers of the Crowned Snowfield..."

Xia Chen muttered the name of the content creator, then clicked into her profile and suddenly realized who it was.

"Oh, it's Miss Joey. It seems like you were filming a vlog and it happened to capture you coming over, so it was left on after that."

Xia Chen stroked his chin and looked at Zoroark.

Zoroark nodded silently, vaguely recalling that there was a Rotom cell phone next to him when he was talking to that silly girl.

“Sending it to her is not bad either. Given the authenticity of this account, it’s definitely better than me creating a new account to post videos, since it’s from the victim’s perspective.”

Xia Chen muttered to himself, "Should I help her share this?"

With his main account boasting over ten million followers, he'll definitely generate buzz about this incident in the shortest amount of time. Plus, he's currently cultivating in the Crown Snowfield, so it's understandable that he'd share it.

However, natural fermentation also has its advantages.

After thinking about it, Xia Chen decided to check the number of views for the video that evening. If it didn't cause a sensation, he would add fuel to the fire.
