Chapter 231: The Legacy of Xerneas!
Two Pokemon eggs were brought over by Madam Huajie from near the Life Tree that Xerneas had evolved.
It's no surprise that this would attract Yveltal's attention.
However,
Ash having captured Yveltal truly shocked Madam Huajie.

……

Shiny Snivy
After clearly seeing the specific attributes of the Pokemon inside the egg in his left hand, Ash was completely shocked.
Besides the base stat total being cut from 680 to 580, the Attack base stat is reduced by 100.
Furthermore, its appearance is not that of a deer,
No matter how you look at it, this resembles Xerneas's data panel.
This must absolutely be Xerneas's illegitimate daughter, right?
No wonder,
no wonder Yveltal is so excited,
the old rival gaining an illegitimate daughter—if it were swapped for Groudon, Groudon would definitely be excited too!
At first sight, Ash took a liking to this Snivy.
After all, he's always wanted a Snivy to sleep embraced on left and right with his Bulbasaur,
but out of respect for the Snake Sister's choice, he let go, allowing the Snivy to evolve into Serperior.
This time, having this little guy, he finally fulfilled his dream.
Moreover, although they're the same species,
but this Snivy is essentially a mature woman with a loli appearance, Xerneas in disguise—not only are its base stats different, but its attributes, abilities, and moves differ as well.
There's no need to worry about tactical overlap.
Click!
Just as Ash was pondering, the Pokemon egg in his left hand suddenly cracked open.
A Snivy with teal and cream coloring poked its mouth out of the eggshell,
unlike the usual light-green body of a regular Snivy, this Shiny Snivy's green parts are all a more beautiful teal.
Its big eyes sparkled, gazing straight at Ash,
after about two or three seconds of imprinting Ash's image in its mind, the little creature sprang out of the eggshell in a jump.
revealing the lower half of its body that had been covered by the shell.
The yellow parts beside its neck resemble little wings, and from behind they look like a lily ornament.
Although Snivy has a serpentine appearance, she nonetheless has four limbs and stands on two feet.
Her arms and body are the same teal, with three fingers, and her large tail ends in a big leaf with three prongs.
The newborn was still wet, so when it jumped onto Ash's shoulder, it almost fell off.
Seeing this, Ash quickly tossed the eggshell,
and used his now‑free left hand to shield the Shiny Snivy.
"Pikachu~"
Seeing the Shiny Snivy and "Pikachu" occupying both of Ash's shoulders, Pikachu voiced strong condemnation.
"Whoa, it's a Snivy!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise,
because the cave was rather dim, nobody could tell the Snivy was Shiny, so Ash caught it with a teal‑colored Poké Ball.
After capturing it,
Worried that the newborn might be afraid of the dark, Ash let the Snivy out again and dried its body,
Although it had just been born,
but the Snivy could not only jump, its muscle density and bone hardness were already comparable to those of a fully grown creature.
Although people wondered why Ash already had a Serperior yet still caught a Snivy,
but everyone's focus was actually on the other Pokemon egg.
"If this is just a Snivy, then what's the other one?"
【Pokemon】: Eternal Flower Floette (♀)
【Form】: Legendary Pokemon (special form, cannot evolve)
【Type】: Fairy
【Ability】: Symbiosis (shares vitality and physique with an approved Trainer; in battle, if an ally's item is lost, it shares its item with the ally)
【Move】: Vine Whip, Tackle, Fairy Wind,
【IV】: 6v
【Base Stats】: Total 551, HP 74, Attack 65, Defense 67, Sp. Atk 125, Sp. Def 128, Speed 92,
(The image is of Eternal Flower Floette; listeners who are interested can pause to view.)
Eternal Flower Floette
"Eternal Flower! Symbiosis!?"
Ash's eyes widened in shock,
"What is the Eternal Flower?"
"Is it a Pokemon that no one has ever heard of before?"
Everyone looked at Ash, puzzled and confused,
But Ash had no mind to answer, completely taken over by the effect of the Ability Symbiosis.
It really can achieve symbiosis; it's truly unscientific,
However,
However, for Ash, this is a good thing; this way he doesn't have to worry about how to operate life extension.
After all, as a special individual, the Eternal Flower Floette has the body of a Legendary Pokemon! Possessing an almost eternal lifespan.
Unlike a normal Floette, which has only a few decades of lifespan.
Once recognized by the Eternal Flower Floette, it is practically equivalent to immortality.
No wonder, Ash's face showed realization.
No wonder the King of Kalos AZ from 3000 years ago could survive to this day,
Perhaps it is because that Floette, revived into the Eternal Flower form at that time, recognized AZ after being revived.
Compared to being recognized by a Floette, which allows sharing of life and physical attributes.
The stat distribution of the Eternal Flower Floette doesn't matter anymore; Ash doesn't expect her to fight.
And seriously speaking, 551 is one point higher in base stats than the Martial Arts Bear Master, so it's not impossible to fight.
Thinking of the Snivy that inherits Xerneas's attribute, Ash suddenly had a guess in his mind.
"These two Pokemon Eggs, where did you find them?"
"Huajie~"
Thanks to Ash having Latias heal the Floette, Madame Huajie revealed all the information she knew.
Upon learning that the two Pokemon Eggs were both picked up by Madame Huajie near the Tree of Life,
Ash's mind suddenly realized,
This matter is inseparable from Xerneas; perhaps Xerneas has the ability to mass-produce Eternal Flower Floettes.
Thinking this through,
Ash suddenly had the idea of an experiment,
"Pikachu, can you take me and Madame Huajie mother and daughter to the Orluans Forest, near the Tree of Life transformed by Xerneas?"
"Pika-pika!"
Pikachu shook his head repeatedly; he doesn't have that ability.
But soon, Pikachu realized that Ash wasn't looking at him at all, and upon thinking of the true identity of another Pikachu...
Pishen's little face drooped instantly, full of resentment.
Watching Ash disappear,
When he reappeared, the Pokemon Egg in Ash's hand had already disappeared,
At the same time, a Floette holding a red flower and with blue skin had appeared on Ash's hat.
This was the Floette that had just hatched.
At the same time, the blue-flower Floette held in Madame Huajie's arms had its blue flower turn completely red.
【Pokemon】: Eternal Flower Floette (♀)
【Form】: Legendary Pokemon
【Type】: Fairy
【Ability】: Symbiosis
【Individual】: 6v
【Base Stats】: Total 551
Through the experiment, Ash can confirm that Xerneas possesses the method to transform a normal Floette into an Eternal Flower Floette.
However, according to what Xerneas said,
Changing a species' life form requires a massive amount of life energy, and each transformation can convert at most three individuals.
Including the Snivy, He has already transformed three.
Next time, He will have to wait at least ten years.
According to this efficiency, a single Xerneas is obviously somewhat lacking in strength.
Then we can only direct our efforts toward Xerneas in other worlds.
In the future, if we have the chance to go to other worlds, we must not forget this.
