The Pokemon that appeared on the scene with its smooth brown fur and creamy neck fluff seemed even less threatening than a Ditto—after all, it was just too cute.
Dragging its fluffy tail, Eevee strode onto the field with an attitude suggesting it recognized no one, ready to defend Fang Yuan's honor in the final battle of the tournament.
"Eevee Bwoo."
"Eevee Bwoo."
As Eevee walked along, it mumbled to itself, advising all present to behave, suggesting they wrap up the contest quickly without troubling it to take action.
"Is this..."
"This is... it's Dr. Fang Yuan's Eevee, Rotom!!"
Although this time Eevee didn't emerge from a Poké Ball but suddenly ran onto the field from behind Fang Yuan, its unique heart-shaped tail still allowed everyone to recognize it as the very same Eevee Fang Yuan used in the world championship!
The very Beginner Elf that first publicly used a Z-Move and was capable of evolving into a Sun Eevee and devolving on its own, defeating Di Anxi in the world championship—Dr. Fang Yuan's Eevee!
"So it's really that Pokemon..."
As Eevee made its entrance, the whole world once again fell into silence. Although people knew this Eevee was not weak, and could even be regarded as a Sun Eevee, its arrival in Eevee form still gave a sense of incongruity. Moreover, and most importantly, its identity was far too unique.
Dr. Fang Yuan's Beginner Elf, and yet, it was also the last Pokemon he sent out... Onlookers twitched their mouths, so don't tell them this Eevee is also Legendary Level.
However, even without being told, whether face to face with a petite and adorable Eevee or not, the crowd didn't treat it as a common Pokemon. Instead, they regarded it as a Legendary Elf—quite self-aware and fully recognizing Fang Yuan's capabilities.
"Is there any country willing to challenge the battle?"
President Antonio spoke up.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Continuing in silence until the tenth second, still no response came.
While some Wild guardian gods were confused, thinking it was just an Eevee and questioning why one couldn't fight it, they were quickly dissuaded by nearby Trainers.
Don't be foolish, is that a common Eevee?
Wake up.
That's the monster Eevee from two years ago, capable of evolving and devolving on its own by controlling Life Energy.
Furthermore, two years ago, it reached The Second Phase of Z-Power Control without using a Pure Crystal and executed a Z-Move that instantly defeated the Legendary Phantom Elves.
A Beginner Elf of Dr. Fang Yuan, weak???
The last Pokemon Dr. Fang Yuan chose to send out, weak?!
Even if Fang Yuan himself declared that Eevee wasn't at the Legendary Level, they wouldn't believe it!!!
One could say that due to the build-up of previous matches, this was Eevee's most valued appearance. Nearly all the top Trainers from around the world treated this adorable Pokemon as if it were a Legendary Elf.
This was, without a doubt, the Eevee species' most prestigious moment.
From being underestimated time and again, it had finally grown to such prominence that just by showing up, it made everyone refrain from challenging it as an opponent.
Consequently, a surreal situation occurred.
In the Divine Battles and Guardian God Wars, faced with a defending Eevee, again... no one dared to fight, no nation dared to challenge the contest.
"No one???" Fang Yuan's voice broke the calm.
He said, "That 'Purple-Red Meteorite' is quite precious..."
"I've looked into it, and it seems to be part of a body from one of the top Legendary Elves, possibly an extraterrestrial being."
"It should be the most valuable resource in this Divine Battle..."
"If one could fully research it, it might trigger a groundbreaking power surge that rivals Mega Evolution and Z-Moves."
The US Association's researchers' pupils constricted, and then their expressions quickly dimmed.
Others also felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, and their mouths twitched incessantly.
Believe you, no way.
Are you kidding?
You haven't even obtained the item for research; how do you seem to know all about it?!
And you just carelessly revealed that the result could be on par with Mega Evolution and Z-Moves?!
How desperately do you want an opponent?!
Even with Fang Yuan's flowery talk, still no one dared to step down to challenge Eevee.
For all the research results, if the Alliance institutes couldn't figure them out, they surely would fail too. After all, Fang Yuan had already mastered Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. Additional research findings for Fang Yuan didn't seem to make a difference to the crowd.
When someone reaches a certain stature, what others consider is no longer competition, but rather looking up with awe.
No matter what Fang Yuan said, they wouldn't step down to challenge! Don't even think about deceiving them.
Fang Yuan: "..."
Eevee: "Bwoo o(^▽^)o."
If no one steps up, it's ready to leave.
"..."
No one again, Fang Yuan sighed.
"Bimi!! (Guardian God, Guardian God, Guardian God, Guardian God...)"
As Fang Yuan sighed, Victini eagerly stoked the fire from a distance, communicating via Mind Induction.
Fang Yuan paused and looked towards the four silent Kapu family members.
That's not okay...
After all, they were esteemed guests.
And besides, they were looking to expand their "Soul" worship.
The most important thing is, they taught us so many Z-Moves, it would be bad to kick them out...
"No one to challenge the contest?"
At this moment, President Antonio also spoke somewhat annoyed, knowing full well Eevee was no ordinary Pokemon. Nobody daring to challenge such a Pokemon, however, would likely become a classic tale for the ages.
