Pokémon: Starting From Zero as a Legendary Pokémon Chapter 49 49: Sylveon

If this were a ga, a Level 15 Eevee that had learned Baby-Doll Eyes would already have a chance to evolve into Sylveon.

Sora had full confidence in one thing:

his bond with Eevee was unquestionably strong.

Yet she still hadn't evolved.

According to his theory, the problem was simple:

Insufficient Fairy-type energy.

Most trainers who managed to raise an Eevee to this level would have already used an evolution stone.

At the very least, high friendship would have pushed it toward Espeon or Umbreon.

To prevent accidents, Sora had equipped Eevee with an Everstone.

Every day, he also asked Victini to examine her internal energy—specifically the concentration of Fairy-type energy.

Originally, Victini had no concept of "Fairy energy."

But after being hit by Eevee's Baby-Doll Eyes several tis, the little Mythical Pokémon gradually figured it out.

So this is what Fairy-type energy feels like!

Once she had a reference point, detecting it beca much easier.

"Vee!"

After another round of training, Sora called Victini over.

"Co check Eevee again."

"Bi~"

Victini floated above the exhausted Eevee, who was panting heavily after practice.

She placed her small hands gently on Eevee's head.

Monts later, she reached a conclusion.

"Normal-type and Fairy-type energy inside Eevee are now at a 7:3 ratio," she indicated.

"That's much higher than last ti."

"Really?"

After so much ti together, Sora could already understand Victini's gestures and vocal tones.

"Thirty percent Fairy energy… that should be enough."

He stepped forward and crouched in front of Eevee.

"Eevee, are you ready to evolve?"

"Bui!"

Her eyes lit up instantly.

She had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.

Without hesitation, she nodded vigorously.

Using her own energy, she removed the Everstone hanging around her neck.

Flash.

Light burst from her body.

Her form began to grow.

From her original height of 0.3 ters, she expanded rapidly—

reaching 1.3 ters, nearly up to Sora's chest, taller than many large dogs.

Two pink-and-white ribbon-like feelers gently wrapped around his arm.

Through them, he could feel her emotions clearly.

Joy.

Relief.

Excitent.

"Congratulations, Pixie."

Pixie—his nickna for Sylveon.

Just like "Skirtie" for Lilligant and "Vee" for Victini, it was a term of affection unique to their family.

"Bui~~"

Her voice hadn't changed much after evolution.

But compared to before, Sylveon's tone was sweeter—

like a kitten lightly scratching at your heart.

"Ponii!"

"Bi!"

Ogerpon, Victini, Lilligant, and Sylveon's best friend Buneary all gathered around to celebrate.

Sylveon was stunning.

She radiated an irresistible charm.

Even the other female Pokémon found themselves captivated.

"Ability… Cute Charm, huh?"

Cute Charm had a clear effect:

When struck by a contact attack from an opposite-gender Pokémon, there was a chance to inflict infatuation.

In ga terms, that ant a 50% chance the opponent couldn't act.

In reality, it was more like:

Being so captivated by Sylveon's charm that the Pokémon beca distracted—unable to focus on commands.

Of course, everyone here was the sa gender as Sylveon.

So the ability wouldn't trigger chanically.

But charm wasn't purely chanical.

Sylveon's beauty transcended gender and species.

Simply standing there earned goodwill.

Still, appearance alone wasn't what truly mattered.

Inner character was everything.

If Sylveon were manipulative or insincere, even the greatest charm would eventually fail.

Fortunately—

Sora's Sylveon was genuine inside and out.

"Whoa… you suddenly got a lot heavier."

Sora lifted her up and imdiately noticed the difference.

Even with his enhanced physique, the weight surprised him.

This had to be at least 50 kilograms.

About the sa as an adult woman.

"Bui! (｀Д´)!!"

Sylveon froze.

She clearly hadn't expected that comnt.

She was not amused.

Even Pokémon had feelings about remarks like that.

"Ah—sorry, sorry."

Sora laughed awkwardly, set her down, and patted her head.

"That just ans you've recovered really well lately, right?"

From a malnourished Eevee to a near–Level 50 Sylveon with a larger-than-average body—

that transformation ca from:

consistent nutrition

high-quality energy cubes

Victini's support

Still, he added thoughtfully:

"Your foundation was damaged before. It'll take more ti to fully repair."

"Otherwise, you'd be even stronger than you are now."

In Pokémon biology, size didn't directly determine strength.

But within the sa species, a larger body usually indicated greater potential.

There were very few exceptions.

"Alright, go play with the others."

"I'll call you when lunch is ready."

"Bui~~"

Sylveon shook her head happily and ran off to join Ogerpon and Victini.

Ursaluna found an open patch of ground and settled down for a nap.

Lilligant stayed close to Sora, quietly guarding him from potential wild Pokémon.

The Nebel Plateau was ho to many species.

Since arriving in Kalos, Sora hadn't captured any new Pokémon.

There were two reasons:

First: His finances were limited.

He genuinely couldn't afford more mouths to feed.

And now that Eevee had evolved into Sylveon, her future investnt would only increase.

His current team structure looked like this:

Guaranteed Core:

Victini

Ogerpon

Main Battle Line:

Ursaluna

Lilligant

Sylveon

If he encountered a powerful opponent, Ogerpon would join the main lineup imdiately.

That ant his six-Pokémon roster still had:

Two open slots.

"Too bad… none of these are really my type."

Sora glanced at the wild Pokémon attracted by their picnic.

He spotted:

Diggersby

Fletchling

Litleo

Flabébé

Skiddo

Pancham

All perfectly good Pokémon.

Just not ones that fit his personal preferences.

And for Sora, that mattered.

He wasn't collecting Pokémon.

He was building a family—and a team with purpose.
