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

That's it... a win?

The trainer who only gave two commands throughout the entire process defeated the opponent who had been commanding from beginning to end without taking any damage, and did not make any mistakes, and even restrained his own opponent.

This rather magical result left the experienced teachers even more silent.

Why do I suddenly find myself unable to understand the game anymore?

Recalling Xia Chen's "amateurish" command just now, they seemed to understand something.

He only heard Xia Chen's simple instruction to "be careful and avoid danger," but to Ibu, who was with him day and night, it had a very rich meaning!

Xia Chen and that Eevee had reached an astonishingly terrifying level of synergy!

The greatest skill lies in simplicity, and a heavy sword has no edge—this is the essence of it all...

I thought I was on the fifth floor and Xia Chen was in the basement, but looking at it now, it seems he's already ascended to heaven!

The teachers looked at each other, speechless...

He knows more about Pokémon than we do!

Chapter 109 Dragon Island Son-in-Law Milas

The morning's schedule concluded after Xia Chen's match.

After lunch, Xia Chen returned to the Qianlong Martial Arts Academy.

The afternoon's matches were elimination rounds between the losers' bracket, so Xia Chen, who had advanced to the winners' bracket, did not need to participate.

He didn't even have the idea of ​​watching the game. As long as he didn't fall into the loser's bracket, Xia Chen would never run into them.

Instead of wasting this time, you should go back and practice with Milotic again.

Although today's match appeared to be a clean sweep victory for Eevee over Machoke, the opponent's strategy and Pokémon strength should not be underestimated.

This is only the first round of the competition; the opponents will only get stronger in the future.

With Milos in the rotation, I can be more at ease when facing some tougher opponents like Ibrahimovic.

The recruitment competition only lasts for a week, so hopefully Milotic's proficiency with his moves will reach a level where he can compete within that time.

Qianlong Dojo and Shangjing University are both located in the center of Shangjing City, only a few kilometers apart.

Xia Chen brought Eevee and Ralts back directly, taking a walk to digest their food.

As soon as Xia Chen entered the dojo, he sensed something unusual in the air, a slightly somber atmosphere.

Watching the small number of people heading into the main arena in one direction, Xia Chen had a bold guess in his mind.

They were challenged?

With a sense of excitement, Xia Chen followed the sound to the dojo's main arena.

The main arena was surrounded by students from the dojo, while in the center of the arena, a handsome middle-aged man whom no one had ever met before was battling Long Yue.

Xia Chen spotted Long Li watching the game with Milotic at a glance and quickly squeezed over to get some information.

…………

Xia Chen asked jokingly, "What, someone came to challenge us? Did your sister take your father's place in the army?"

The misunderstanding from that day had long been cleared up, and he had gotten quite familiar with the two sisters over the past few days.

Long Li, who is the same age as Xia Chen, rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? My dad... that is, the curator, is back. He's checking whether my sister has been slacking off lately."

"Your dad?" Xia Chen looked at the handsome, capable, and tall middle-aged man on the field with surprise, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

I came back from a long trip and found a strange man, about the same age as my two daughters, in my house...

He probably believes that he moved in to bring Milotic and Hakron together... right?

Just to be on the safe side, Xia Chen decided to find out some information first, "Your dad...he knows about me, right?"

Long Li smiled mischievously and asked knowingly, "What do I know about you?"

Xia Chen knew this girl was seeking revenge for that day, and helplessly explained, "It's because of the reason I moved in... about Milotic and Hakron."

Long Li then let him go, "Don't worry, I've already told you about this. My dad is very interested in you and your Milotic."

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and only then could he concentrate on watching the battle in the arena.

On the field, Long Yue's pet, the Altaria, has already been defeated.

She had just switched to her shiny Dragonair, while the gym leader was still using the same Duraludon she had started with.

Xia Chen was not familiar with the Alcanthus elf before, and he knew nothing about the Galar and Padia regions before coming to this world.

Before he traveled through time, his GF only reached the Sun and Moon eras, which was the Alola region.

However, this did not stop him from cramming on these Pokémon after arriving in this world, and he paid attention to this Pokémon with an exceptionally powerful attribute combination.

The Steelix/Dragon type—that's the kind of treatment even the legendary Pokémon Dialga gets!

With two weaknesses and ten resistances, the strength of the Aluminum Steel Dragon in terms of attributes is beyond doubt.

In terms of various abilities, after professional testing by the Galar League Trainer Association, except for Special Defense, the average level of this species is also quite excellent, especially in Special Attack.

…………

Seeing how easily the Dragon Curator handled the aluminum-steel dragon, Xia Chen knew that it had definitely held back.

That's normal. After all, he's the most famous gym leader in the Eastern Region. Theoretically speaking, he's the number one person below the Elite Four, and his strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

Therefore, even with Aluminum Steel Dragon holding back, Hakron's situation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Facing the flames spewed from Hakuryu's mouth, Duraludon didn't dodge, as if it wanted to see how much damage she could inflict on it.

However, Dragon Pulse, a move from Duraludon, is much harder to deal with. Even though it's almost instantaneous and has a significantly reduced damage output, every time Dragon Pulse is hit, a visible scorch mark appears on its pink body.

"Ugh..."

This was not the mournful cry of Hakron due to pain, but the whimpering of Milotic beside Xia Chen.

Turning around, I saw Milotic staring angrily at the Duraludon on the field, wishing he could personally go up and fight it.

Xia Chen found it somewhat amusing, "It's not like you were the one hitting it up there, why are you so angry?"

"Fuwoo?"

Milotic was stunned. "Yeah, why am I so angry?"

What's wrong with me?

Xia Chen patted Milotic meaningfully, "Milotic, you're probably... in love."

…………

There's not much to say about the result of the battle; it ended in a crushing defeat for Long Yue.

The Gym Leader's daily work involves testing the trainers who come to challenge them and awarding badges that grant entry to the Eastern Conference to those who defeat them.

But those were all weak Pokémon. If we replaced them with our main Pokémon... the gym's revenue would probably be zero in a year.

After the battle ended, the students of the dojo returned to the training ground to continue training. The two sisters, Long Yue and Long Li, were sent away by Long Ye, the dojo master of Qianlong Dojo, under a pretext.

Looking at Long Ye, who was staring at him expressionlessly, Xia Chen met his gaze calmly.

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

Whether it's letting them stay overnight or trying to bring the two elves together, it's not like I suggested it, so what am I afraid of?

Faced with Xia Chen's honest gaze, Long Ye backed down first.

He pointed outside, "Want to come for a walk with me?"

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do," Xia Chen nodded and followed.

Stepping out of the main arena, the artificial lake came into view. The early winter wind brought the dry, cold "freezing wind" of the capital, making Xia Chen shiver as he came out of the heated room.

Longye took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then threw out a Poké Ball. A Charizard, much larger than a normal individual, appeared beside him.

Teacher Dapeng spread his wings to block the smoke, then exhaled a small flame, igniting the cigarette in Longye's mouth.

His control over the heat was extremely precise; it seemed that if it were just a fraction more intense, Longye's beard would be set ablaze.

Xia Chen: "......"

That was a great show of bravado, I give it full marks.

Before Xia Chen could figure out what Long Ye meant, he handed Xia Chen a cigarette.

"Want one, buddy?"

Xia Chen waved his hand and declined the offer, "Thank you, brother, but I don't smoke."

Long Ye squinted and scrutinized Xia Chen for a while. His expression finally relaxed, and he seemed quite satisfied with Xia Chen's way of addressing him.

"Not bad, young man. Where are you from?"

Xia Chen replied briefly, "Jiangnan, Zhijiang."

Longye nodded. "What a great place. I'm an old friend of Master Su from your Yunze Martial Arts Academy."

…………

Taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Ryuno finally got down to business, "That very special Milotic... is it your Pokémon?"

"Yes, it's my fairy."

Xia Chen nodded, then asked, "Actually, I'm very curious, why is Long Yue in such a hurry to have Dragonair and my Milotic... lay eggs?"

Longye smiled, not answering his question directly, but instead asking, "Have you heard of Dragon Island?"

Xia Chen thought about it carefully and, after confirming that he had never heard of this place in the original work, shook his head.

Longye said slowly, "That is an archipelago far from any continent, inhabited by many dragon-type Pokémon. It is said to be the origin of all dragon-type Pokémon."

"This dragon, Hakkyu, is the princess of Dragon Island."
