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

He sincerely apologized: "It's my fault, I didn't expect the Moltres to actually come."

Once Xia Chen softened his stance, Miss Joey couldn't criticize him any further, since from her perspective, the flamingo wasn't instigated by Xia Chen.

Her tone softened, and she said, "Alright, it's not your fault. Besides, we've actually benefited from this misfortune and have had a good period of development."

Changing the subject, Miss Joey asked, "Are you staying overnight again this time?"

Xia Chen nodded. "Okay, I'll stay for one day and then leave."

"Eh..."

Miss Joy propped her head up with her hand and asked curiously, "Are we leaving Galar?"

"Yes."

Xia Chen smiled and said with emotion, "After being out of contact for more than two months, it's time to go back."

Miss Joy covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly, "That's wonderful, Galar is finally going to return to peaceful days."

Xia Chen's face darkened. "Hey, is it really that serious?"

Just kidding.

Miss Joy suddenly became serious and said, "I wish you a smooth journey ahead and that your path as a trainer will be filled with good fortune!"

"What the heck is 'May your military prosper'...?"

Xia Chen muttered under his breath.

"Okay, stop looking so gloomy."

Miss Joey picked up her phone, stood up, and moved closer to Xia Chen, chuckling, "Let's take one last commemorative photo!"

Xia Chen chuckled, "Alright, then I'll reluctantly agree."

Miss Joey looked at Xia Chen with a strange expression and asked, "What are you thinking?" "I was talking about taking a picture with the Volcano Moth. What are you thinking?"

Xia Chen: "......"

This woman is definitely doing this on purpose!

Chapter 549 A Heartwarming Reunion

Xia Chen stayed at the Pokémon Center in Frozen Village for a day, and left the next morning.

The Crowned King will not appear in the village, and the place it is most likely to be waiting for you is on the small snowy slope where you first met.

Xia Chen was right. As soon as he stepped onto the snow slope, a Weavile appeared in front of him, gesturing as if it wanted to take him somewhere.

Xia Chen guessed that this was a guide spirit sent by the Queen of the Lacecrown, and then followed behind it.

With its sharp claws, the Weavile was an expert at climbing snowy cliffs. After leading Xia Chen up an even steeper cliff, it nodded slightly in farewell and left.

Meanwhile, the Crowned Queen was floating atop the cliff, waiting for Xia Chen.

More than a month has passed, and its aura has not become much stronger, but it has indeed become much more condensed, and its temperament has become more awe-inspiring and unapproachable, with the demeanor of a king.

It seems that it has become the Galatian king from millions of years ago once again.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

With her back to Xia Chen, the Queen of the Brilliant Crown spoke calmly on the wind.

Xia Chen rolled his eyes and retorted, "Is ten days a long time for someone like you?"

It wasn't that he felt no remorse for his actions, but rather that he was speaking too arrogantly and overdoing it.

Just over a month ago, it was just a pitiful turnip that everyone bullied!

As it turns out, an elf's temperament cannot change drastically in just one month.

The Queen of the Lace Crown, her arrogance shattered, turned to Xia Chen with a resentful look and accused him, "It may have been a short time, but I don't feel any respect from you!"

"My bad, my bad. Something came up and I was held up. That's why I came to find you as soon as I got out."

Xia Chen was not one to argue illogically, and seeing that Lei Guanwang was able to speak properly, he immediately apologized sincerely.

"Besides, the fact that I found your location so quickly is enough to prove my respect for you, isn't it?"

The Crowned King was easy to coax. Seeing that Xia Chen had given in, it stopped dwelling on the matter.

"Tell me, where are we going for the next period of time?"

The Crowned King said, "In return, I promised to go to that world with you."

"No rush, let's go and bring my other companions back first."

Xia Chen smiled faintly, "They must be getting impatient too."

Although Calyrex had never met Sylveon and Gardevoir, it had learned a little about them from Volcarona and was somewhat curious about them. It nodded and then fell silent.

Xia Chen then asked, "By the way, where are your two horses? Why aren't they here? Do you want me to give you two Poké Balls to put them away?"

The Calyrethrum replied proudly, "My beloved horses and I are of one mind. They can come to me whenever I want. As for Poké Balls, I have no need for those tools that you humans use to restrain Pokémon."

Xia Chen sighed regretfully after his attempt to persuade her failed, "Okay, but the Poké Ball is really useful..."

In his view, tools are neither good nor bad; it all depends on their purpose and method.

Just like Team Plasma, who loathe Poké Balls and see them as evil tools that enslave Pokémon, are these people necessarily pure of heart?

That's probably not entirely true.

However, whether or not to use it is a personal choice. If Lei Guanwang is unwilling, then so be it, and Xia Chen certainly won't force him.

Perhaps because Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse were playing nearby, the two divine horses, one white and one black, came galloping over from afar just a few minutes after the Crowned King summoned them.

Under the resentful gaze of the Snowstorm Horse, the Crowned King turned and mounted the faster Spirit Horse.

He turned to Xia Chen and said, "Alright, let's go."

…………

As everyone knows, except for a certain mythical beast whose surname remains undisclosed, all legendary Pokémon can fly.

The Crowned King, riding the Spirit Horse, also possesses the ability to fly.

Although it may seem a bit far-fetched, most Ghost-type Pokémon can actually levitate, and Calyrex also has the Psychic type, so this is actually quite in line with the science of the Pokémon world.

As for the Snowstorm Horsea... its speed is indeed a bit slow compared to the Ghost Horse, so Calyrex ended up using a Poké Ball to take it along.

Riding the Spirit Horse, it discreetly left Frozen Village from the air with Xia Chen, without attracting the attention of outsiders.

The only separation between Dongning Village and Hualang Town, which is adjacent to the Weimei Forest, is Mugan Town and a large wilderness. Before long, a man and a large cabbage entered the Weimei Forest.

Xia Chen rode Gu Leton, leading the way with practiced ease. However, the Queen of the Brilliant Horse, riding Lingyou, asked with a strange expression, "Why is your companion here?"

"Oh, I entrusted them to a friend to practice here."

Xia Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

The Crowned King's tone was somewhat strange, "The friend you mentioned... is it a creature that looks like a wolf?"

Xia Chen was surprised. "You know Cangxiang and Zangmarante too? Oh...right, you should know them."

Actually, it was Zacian who mentioned the existence of the Raiden King to him.

They had both participated in the Dark Night War that nearly destroyed Galar, so it was only natural that they knew each other.

"You don't get along with it?"

Xia Chen guessed.

The Crowned King denied it, saying, "No, it's a nice fellow. In the beginning, when I lost my power, it often came to visit me in the Crown Snowfield."

Xia Chen nodded. "That does sound like something that Cangxiang, who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, would do. And then what?"

The Crowned Queen changed the subject, saying arrogantly, "However, I don't need such pity, so I've been avoiding you!"

Xia Chen retorted speechlessly, "You're a bit too proud, aren't you? They just came to see you out of friendship... And why are you making such a big deal out of it!"

Ignoring Xia Chen's complaints, King Lei Guan continued, "However, now I have the opportunity to personally thank it for its kind help during that time."

Xia Chen was too lazy to pay attention to this arrogant and eccentric guy, and quickened his pace toward the center of the forest.

Soon, the mist that had been obscuring our view dissipated, revealing the tranquil forest lake where the heroes of Galar resided.

The long-unseen companions were training on their own, while siblings Zacian and Zamazenta wandered among the Pokémon, offering guidance from time to time.

When Xia Chen and Gu Le Dun entered, all the elves couldn't help but turn their gazes toward them.

The next instant, a swarm of elves rushed toward Xia Chen, accompanied by several excited shouts.

"Buyi!"

"Sana!"

Therefore, Leighton calmly threw Xia Chen off his back and quickly ran to the side to watch the show.

Xia Chen was left alone, his face blank, submerged in the sea of ​​elves, occasionally letting out cries for help and some kind of ambiguous exclamation.

"Xianbu, don't scratch that area... hahaha... it itches!"

"Hey, Sai Fuhao, don't nudge my butt!"

"Guleton, Cyrus...Ladycrown, anyone will do, just get me out of here!"

…………

The heartwarming reunion they had imagined did not happen. Because of Xia Chen's terrible act of standing him up, the gang led by Xianbu tormented Xia Chen in an organized and premeditated manner for quite a while before letting him go.

"It's clear they've been unhappy with you for a long time."

This is how the Queen of the Lace Crown commented.

Enjoying Gardevoir's post-coital massage, Xia Chen hummed in rebuttal, "You don't understand, this is a sign of a good relationship."

Isn't this the scene every time a trainer aiming to become a Pokémon Master returns to Pallet Town to visit the Pokémon fostered at Professor Oak's house?

At least I wasn't just toyed with by a bunch of Tauros.

As the two were chatting, Cangxiang slowly walked over. It looked at the Crowned King and the Spirit Horse beside it, and then looked at Xia Chen.

He said with some emotion, "I never expected that you would actually encounter it and even help it regain its strength."
