-033- The Elves' Restorative Power
Elf Restoration Ability?
Tong Si was stunned for a long time after the system unlocked this ability.
In this world, only Mega Evolution can revert to its original form.
All other evolutions are irreversible.
If Tong Si possessed the power to restore elves to their initial forms, it would undoubtedly shock the world.
Countless trainers would flock to him, seeking to restore their elves.
After all, many elves actually wish to stay in their original forms, simply wanting to accompany their trainers as they are.
Some trainers share this sentiment.
Tong Si once saw a similar post on a popular website.
The title was: How wonderful it would be if my elf could devolve!
The author was the trainer of a Jynx, who desperately wanted his Jynx to return to the Smoochum stage.
In the comments, a Dragonite trainer lamented that his Dragonair was much more attractive before evolving, saying Dragonite looked rather goofy.
A trainer of Purugly also commented, “How adorable was Glameow? But after evolving, what has it become?”
...
“If I make good use of this Elf Restoration Ability, wouldn’t I be able to make a fortune?”
Tong Si was overjoyed at the thought!
As expected from the Elf Breeding System—everything revolves around nurturing elves.
Even the elves’ desire to revert after evolution can be realized.
“Sss, sss, sss...”
Beside him, Jolteon was still complaining about its awkward appearance.
Tong Si, seeing this, quickly snapped three photos of Jolteon from different angles with his phone.
“System, let’s turn Jolteon back into Eevee, shall we?”
After capturing the moment, Tong Si still wanted Jolteon to revert to Eevee.
After all, Eevee was undeniably cuter than Jolteon.
[Using the Elf Restoration Ability will cost 500,000 points. Do you wish to proceed?]
“500,000 points?”
Tong Si nearly fainted. He hadn’t expected a single use of the ability to cost so much.
But, considering that after restoration the elf retains abilities gained through evolution, it made sense.
Tong Si still hadn’t checked what new powers Eevee had acquired after evolving into Jolteon.
He opened the data panel and, through the scanning eye, examined Jolteon’s information.
Jolteon
Level: 6
Gender: Female
Ability: Volt Absorb
Potential: Ordinary
Moves: Growl, Tail Whip, Tackle, Sand Attack, Weather Ball, Thunder Shock
...
“So Eevee actually learned Electric-type moves after evolving into Jolteon?”
That was an unexpected delight.
“System, use the Elf Restoration Ability!”
Tong Si finally decided to spend the 500,000 points.
[Beep—boop]
[Elf Restoration Ability used. Points deducted.]
Once all 500,000 points were deducted from the data panel, Jolteon’s body was enveloped by a white light.
Jolteon’s size gradually shrank.
When it reached Eevee’s stature, the white light faded.
“Bii~”
Eevee stretched out its paw and licked its palm.
“Bii bii~”
Tears of joy streamed down Eevee’s cheeks.
It dashed to the edge of the pond, saw its familiar reflection, and danced with happiness.
Nearby, the trio of escape artists and Electabuzz were dumbfounded.
What kind of ability was this? Evolution that could be reversed?
The two Carvanha, on the other hand, were splashing in the water, unconcerned about Eevee’s transformation.
“Well done, Eevee! Everything was fine, yet you wasted 500,000 points and a Thunder Stone.”
Tong Si couldn’t help but grumble at Eevee; this little troublemaker was always causing more harm than good.
But Eevee paid no mind to his words, leaping into Tong Si’s arms and nuzzling him gently.
“Bii~”
How wonderful it felt to be Eevee again!
Seeing Eevee so happy, Tong Si decided to forgive it.
He used the scanning eye to check Eevee’s information on the data panel.
The system claimed that the Elf Restoration Ability would preserve abilities acquired through evolution.
So the Thunder Shock move should still be there.
Eevee
Level: 6
Gender: Female
Abilities: Adaptability, Volt Absorb
Potential: Ordinary
Moves: Growl, Tail Whip, Tackle, Sand Attack, Weather Ball, Thunder Shock
...
“Hmm?”
Tong Si was pleased to see the Thunder Shock move remained.
But upon noticing Eevee’s abilities, he was taken aback.
“Adaptability and Volt Absorb?”
How could this be? Why was Volt Absorb retained?
Could Eevee now possess dual abilities?
Tong Si stared at the data panel for a long time, his excitement growing.
This was tremendous news.
Volt Absorb makes an elf immune to Electric-type attacks; instead, it restores HP.
A Volt Absorb Eevee would be completely immune to Electric-type moves.
“Eevee, let’s test your Volt Absorb ability, shall we?”
Tong Si placed Eevee on the ground, eager to see if the ability was genuine.
“Bii?”
Eevee looked puzzled, not understanding what its trainer was up to.
“Electabuzz, use Thunder Shock on Eevee.”
“Bibi?”
Electabuzz was equally astonished—attack Eevee? How could it do that?
“Make it a weak one, a mini Thunder Shock.”
Tong Si gestured for Electabuzz to proceed.
“Bibi...”
After some hesitation, Electabuzz unleashed a small Thunder Shock, about one-tenth of its usual power.
“Zzz...”
The attack hit Eevee.
Eevee stood unmoved, even raising its fur as if enjoying the sensation.
“Bii?”
Eevee finally realized something was off.
Thunder Shock had no effect?
“Bibi?”
Electabuzz was equally amazed.
“That’s it! Electabuzz, increase the power. Let loose—don’t hold back.”
“Bibi!”
Electabuzz, following Tong Si’s instructions, ramped up the voltage.
A surge like Thunderbolt struck Eevee squarely.
“Bii bii~”
At first, Eevee basked comfortably in the electricity, but soon its fur stood on end and it seemed a bit itchy.
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Tong Si quickly called a halt.
“Whew...”
Once Electabuzz stopped, Eevee took a deep breath.
By now, its fur was thoroughly fluffed up.
Clearly, with Volt Absorb, Electric-type moves were ineffective.
However, Eevee’s endurance was limited.
Volt Absorb converts absorbed electricity into HP, but Eevee’s HP cap was not high.
After all, it was only level six.
“Looks like Eevee’s special training can’t stop!”
Tong Si stroked his chin, gazing thoughtfully at Eevee.
At the same time, he began to ponder the abilities of Eevee’s other evolutions.
If Eevee evolved into another form, would it also gain that form’s abilities?
It was a bold hypothesis, but testing it would require a tremendous amount of points.
Eevee, seeing Tong Si’s smile, suddenly had a bad feeling.
