In order to prevent the battle between Xidulan En and Lightning Bird from causing too much damage to the island, Xia Chen asked the two to go to other desert islands not far away to fight.
Of course, in order to prevent the wild elves on the deserted island from becoming victims of the fight between mythical beasts, he also deliberately evacuated them in advance.
Then, the two elves began a fierce battle with full firepower.
At the beginning, Xiduo Lan'en was far from being the opponent of Lightning Bird. It wasn't that the difference in strength was really that big. It was mainly because Xiaoshe was afraid that Xi Duolan'en lacked some combat experience.
Lightning Bird took this opportunity to release the depressed emotions that had been suppressed in his heart after being captured by Xia Chen——
If I can't beat Guluton, can I still not beat you?
But talent is so unreasonable sometimes.
After gradually adapting to the fierce attack of Zapdos, Sidorane quickly carried out a good response and counterattack under the command of Sirona.
In contrast, the Lightning Bird becomes more and more difficult to fight.
However, in just a few days of battle training, Xiduolan suddenly changed his offensive and was gradually able to gain an advantage in the battle.
Only a few days after the poor Zapdos got rid of the title of "the most legendary elf", he became a bully again.
At the same time, time passed quietly and unconsciously.
Soon, there are only three days left until the new year arrives.
December 28th, heavy snowfall.
Amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky like goose feathers, Xia Chen's beloved master, Miss Cattleya, arrived at her loyal Yuanling Island on Metagross.
Even in the wind and snow, Cattleya still remained quite dignified and elegant, wearing a snow-white dress that perfectly matched her temperament, with her long, silky golden hair cascading down her shoulders.
Standing on Metagross, she looked like a holy snow lotus blooming proudly in the vast world.
Xia Chen who came to greet her smiled and waved to her: "You are still wearing such thin clothes in this weather. Master, are you not afraid of the cold at all?"
For some reason, Xia Chen couldn't help but make fun of Cattleya when he saw her.
He analyzed himself and felt that maybe the super queen had too many cute features——
Although he possesses frighteningly powerful superpowers, he is actually delicate and cute, and underneath this appearance, there is an aloof and indifferent soul.
The most important thing is that if you get the approval of this soul, she will also show you her lively and interesting side.
For example, right now, under Cattleya's fake disgusted expression, she couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her lips.
Xia Chen smiled in his heart, Master, why don't you be so cute!
After a brief exchange of greetings, Xia Chen invited his proud master into his home.
…………
It was freezing and snowy outside, but warm as spring inside.
The three people who reunited after half a year were sitting in the living room enjoying the snow, drinking tea, and chatting.
Sirona and Cattleya have not met each other since the last time they separated. The two female champions, who are perceived by outsiders as cold and talkative, had a very pleasant conversation.
At this moment, they were talking about the encounter between Sirona and Sydoran.
"...Before I left, I bit the land shark and told me that the kid liked me very much and wanted to follow me. Then I subdued Xiduolan'en."
Sirona described the process of subduing Xidulan En in an understated manner, and then raised the teacup at hand to moisten her lips.
"So this is how Xiduo Lan'en was subdued? It's very warm..."
Cattleya said regretfully: "My encounter with Cresselia was very boring."
Xia Chen and Sirona were both stunned. Of course they captured the key information from Cattleya's mouth, Cresselia?
The two of them asked in surprise: "Have you conquered Cresselia?"
"What are you doing? Is this something surprising? It's just a legendary elf."
Cattleya snorted arrogantly, not satisfied with their reaction.
I give this guy ten points for pretending to be mellow.
Xia Chen cursed secretly, but said: "What do you think, he is the God of Dreams who is as famous as Darkrai."
Cresselia and Darkrai are a pair of legendary Pokémon that live together and are collectively known as the "Legendary Pokémon of Dream and Moon" in the game.
In the Pokémon circle in the previous life, in terms of reputation, the latter's name as the Nightmare God was definitely more famous——
In the theatrical version, the battle between two super bosses, Dialga and Palkia, was interspersed and the performance was outstanding.
In the animation, following the magical beast man Dakdo's mechanical deity Suzuran, he swept everything with his dark hole.
These are all very impressive moments.
In comparison, the equally famous Cresselia is not so conspicuous in the animation.
But in game battles, the applicability of the Dream God is much more powerful.
Extremely powerful durability, rich skill pool, and excellent speed control auxiliary ability make this elf a frequent visitor to the space team.
And although the attribute of super power is a little stretched in the game, its expressiveness in reality is first-rate, not to mention Cattleya herself is a master of using super powers.
It can be said that Cresselia is definitely one of the legendary elves that is most suitable for Cattleya.
…………
"So, master, how did you conquer Cresselia?"
Xia Chen was really curious and did not hesitate to use respectful words to ask.
Cattleya was very satisfied with her apprentice's attitude and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I met it on a small island that I passed by when I was returning to Sinnoh."
Xia Chen subconsciously asked: "Funyue Island?"
The only place in the game where you can catch Cresselia is on Full Moon Island.
Cattleya shrugged, "I don't know, maybe. When I first arrived on the island, I sensed an extremely powerful aura, but it was not malicious to me, so I didn't care. As a result, she entered me that night.
It’s a dream. He should be more curious about human beings.”
Xia Chen nodded. According to legend, Cresselia would enter the dreams of people with pure and kind hearts and create a beautiful dream for them.
Sirona took over the conversation, "Then what? She was conquered by you because of curiosity?"
"How can it be so simple?"
Cattleya said: "I conquered her only after defeating her, so I said it was boring."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Did you use [Challenge Conquest], the most traditional method of conquest?
Xia Chen thought thoughtfully, wait...did you overlook something?
Defeating Cresselia means...
"You mean...you defeated it yourself?"
Cattleya smiled pretending to be modest, "No, Metagross and the others also helped a lot."
Xia Chen: "..."
Sure enough, you personally defeated and subdued the legendary elves, right?
Xia Chen had a new understanding of Cattleya's fighting power.
He thought it was only at the level of a champion-level elf, but he underestimated it. This must be a humanoid beast!
Seeing Xia Chen's look at her looking at the monster, Cattleya explained: "It's really not that exaggerated. Cresselia should also want to leave with me. She is just looking for a reason."
After thinking calmly, Xia Chen felt the same.
If Cresselia could have the energy intensity level of Sildorane's "Mythical Beast Keeper", then her defensive capabilities would reach an extremely terrifying level.
Coupled with the magical skill of [New Moon Prayer], perhaps in Gulledon's hands, she could last for a while and a half.
If Cattleya really had the strength to defeat Cresselia, she would have taken action when she faced Team Rocket and Roz in Galar half a year ago.
"Okay, I've been talking for so long, but I still haven't let her meet you. Come out, Cresselia."
Cattleya threw a dream ball, white light flashed, and a beautiful elf with a light blue body and a shape like a crescent moon appeared in the living room.
This Cresselia is not that big, about two meters in height and width.
A pair of pink ring-shaped wings wrap around the sides and back of the body, and are dotted with glittering particles, as dreamy as a star ring.
Based on her looks alone, Cresselia can definitely kill her nemesis Darkrai.
The appearance of the Nightmare God is no different from that of a rag... It's somewhat difficult to describe.
"These two are my friends, say hello, Cresselia."
Cattleya introduced.
"Leah~"
Cresselia also has a much better temper than Darkrai, and her gentle voice can make people vaguely think of the starry sky and sweet dreams.
She flapped her wings gently, and pink glitter particles immediately dispersed in the air, which was very beautiful.
Xia Chen admired her beautiful figure and responded: "Hello, Cresselia."
Xianbu on the side curled his lips. Sure enough, this guy couldn't take his eyes away when he saw the beautiful elf.
Humph, you disgusting members of the Appearance Association!
…………
Cattleya came all the way and was tired of traveling and traveling, so Xia Chen came up to discuss with Cresselia without causing any trouble.
Anyway, they will stay on Yuanling Island until the end of the year, and there will be plenty of opportunities after that.
However, the arrival of Cattleya has increased the number of legendary elves on the island by one, bringing the total to six. Together, they can form a team.
Not to mention, it has a shield and output, and the zone defense is just fine. It’s really not bad.
Even the divine battles in the game are not low in intensity. Except for the evil Kyogre Rainy Day Team, they are basically capable of fighting.
After releasing Cresselia, Cattleya let her go aside to play with the elves.
Xia Chen took this opportunity to ask the two female champions about the road to becoming champions, and Cattleya naturally knew everything.
In her words - "We, the master and the apprentice, have won two championships in one discipline and it will be a good story if word spreads!"
So, the whole winter afternoon was spent leisurely chatting by the stove.
In the next few days, the heavy snow almost never stopped, which made all the outdoor activities originally planned become stay at home.
Fortunately, the three of them are busy people on weekdays, so there is no shortage of outdoor activities these days. It would be better to say that staying at home feels more like a vacation.
Eating, sleeping, playing games, snow fishing, training and battles, mixed with the bickering between Xia Chen and Cattleya, almost every day of the vacation was spent in such a leisurely routine.
In order not to make the guests feel too boring, Xia Chen will add some tricks to the dishes so that the two champions and their elves can enjoy delicacies from all over Donghuang without leaving home.
That is to say, they have stronger self-control and spend an hour or two in the gym every day. Otherwise, they will gain at least ten pounds by the end of this year.
On January 3, 2026, the heavy snowfall that lasted for nearly a week finally stopped.
Xia Chen happened to take advantage of this moment to return to Zhijiang to pay New Year greetings, and if he delayed it for a few more days, the New Year atmosphere would be gone.
Xia Chen's family doesn't have many relatives left in Zhijiang. The only ones they need to visit on this trip are their partner Jiang Qian and his childhood sweetheart Mingyi.
I visited Jiang Qian in the morning. When I arrived, she was leading the elves to clear the snow in front of her door.
Sister Qian has worked hard for the company in the past few years, and she has been forced to sacrifice her energy and time as a trainer, so it was a bit difficult to clear the thick snow. Xia Chen naturally helped after seeing it.
In fact, he had invited Jiang Qian to move to Yuanling Island so that they could be neighbors and take care of each other. However, because Jiang Han went to school in the ancient city, it was not convenient to live on Yuanling Island.
After working all morning, Jiang Qian stayed for lunch. In the afternoon, Xia Chen said goodbye and went to the ancient city.
Walking with Xianbu on the familiar bluestone street again, Xia Chen's mood was already different.
The owner's wish, which seemed out of reach at first, has long been realized, but the salty fish life he expected has been delayed due to various changes.
What Uncle Spider-Man said, "With great power comes great responsibility" is really true.
Nowadays, what worries Xia Chenji is no longer food and clothing, but those dark organizations that are ready to move, the ultimate hole that may come, and his parents who disappeared four years ago.
…………
With emotion, Xia Chen slowly walked to the old house.
Although he has not been back since moving to Yuanling Island last year, Xia Chen still hires people to clean it regularly.
After all, it is the place where I have lived for so many years, and it may become a tourist attraction like "Xia Chen's Former Residence" in the future.
Mingyi's house was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from here. Xia Chen didn't stay too long at the old house. After clearing the snow in the yard, he took Senbu and Gardevoir to visit.
The doorbell rang, and the person who opened the door was Monarch Snake, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Sister Snake has grown very rapidly in the past few years and is even taller than Xia Chen when she is half-curled up.
When she saw that the visitor was Xia Chen, she was quite surprised in her crimson vertical pupils - Xia Chen didn't tell Ming Yi before coming, he just said hello to his uncle and aunt.
"Happy New Year Monarch Snake, this is a gift for you."
Xia Chen smiled and handed over a beautifully packaged box.
This is his handmade energy cube. Both the nutritional content and taste are customized for Sister Snake——
If her taste hasn't changed much in the past two years.
The Monarch Snake was stunned for a moment, then stretched out its vines to take it, nodding its thanks: "Spu——(Thank you, Happy New Year.)"
One person and one snake were still chatting at the door, when a familiar voice came from inside the house.
"Monarch Snake, who is coming?"
Then there was the sound of "tapping" footsteps that were gradually approaching.
Xia Chen smiled slightly. After two years of schooling in Padya, this girl is still so lively.
After a while, Mingyi trotted to the door.
The familiar bun with twin tails, a pretty and lovely face, a good figure that could not be concealed by a bulky winter coat, and the unhidden joy in his eyes when he saw Xia Chen outside the door.
It was Xia Chen's childhood sweetheart, Mingyi, whom he hadn't seen for almost a year.
