Chapter 237: Boss Eevee
— — — — — —
"What... what the heck just happened?"
Cynthia looked around, dazed by the changes in the surroundings. Her gaze finally settled on Eevee—her eyes a mix of concern and curiosity.
An hour later
Eevee finally opened his eyes. By then, he was almost buried under the tall grass that had grown wildly around him.
The transformation of both his body and the Takamagahara world had been completed.
Eevee looked the same on the outside, but everything else? Very different.
"Huh? What's going on?"
It was only then that Eevee noticed the dramatic changes around him.
"This is all your doing! Everything that just happened—totally your fault," Cynthia said with an exasperated sigh.
"Oh... right!"Eevee blinked, then chuckled sheepishly. "Guess my transformation caused all that. But it's fine now! Let's get out of here."
With that, Eevee used his psychic power to lift both him and Cynthia into the air, flying toward the distance.
As for Garchomp and the others? Cynthia had already recalled them into their Poké Balls.
...
"So... what actually happened back there?" Cynthia asked as they soared through the sky.
"It's nothing too crazy," Eevee said casually. "When I put the Space-Time Origin into the Takamagahara world, it helped the world evolve. That feedback gave me a big power-up."
"All the weird stuff outside? That was just some of my life force leaking out during the transformation."
Of course, that was only part of the story.
The feedback this time had allowed Eevee to completely merge and unify all the power systems he had—Haki, magic, and more. All of it had been purified and fused into his core Origin Power thanks to Takamagahara's support.
It was like his Origin Power had evolved.
On top of that, his spatial affinity and powers had received another major boost. He had even mastered high-level space abilities like Dimensional Slash, Spatial Folding, and Spatial Tear.
And there was more—He had gained time abilities as well.
Now he could manipulate time: slowing it down or speeding it up. Although the effect was still limited—up to 5x acceleration or deceleration—it was huge.
After all, anything involving time was automatically next-level.
"Heh... they should really be thanking me for this!" Eevee thought smugly.
"I see..." Cynthia nodded slowly, though it was clear she didn't fully grasp the details. Then her curiosity got the better of her. "But was that Dragon Evolution form of yours really that special? It brought three Legendary Pokémon to you all at once... that's not normal."
From her perspective, this was way out of the ordinary.
And the fact that all three Legendary Pokémon had willingly shared their Origin Powers with Eevee? That said a lot about how unique his strength had become.
"Yeah, it's... a little special," Eevee nodded. "How should I put it... the Dragon Power I got from my evolution? Even those Legendary Dragon-types don't have it."
"Maybe figuring out how it works would help them grow stronger, too."
"In fact, once Mew finishes analyzing this new type of Dragon Power, Garchomp, Dragonair, and the others will probably get stronger too."
"So if they suddenly start leveling up out of nowhere, don't be too surprised, alright?" Eevee was basically giving Cynthia a heads-up.
"Wait—what?" Cynthia blinked. "Mew can do that? It can affect all Dragon-types?"
"Not just Dragon-types," Eevee shook its head. "Mew's a Mythical Pokémon said to carry the DNA of every Pokémon species. Honestly, it's not wrong to call Mew the origin of all Pokémon genes."
"So yeah, Pokémon from all seventeen other types will also be influenced by it."
These god-like or mythical Pokémon who held authority over certain concepts? Yeah—none of them were simple.
"Wait, wasn't that just a legend?" Cynthia asked in shock. "You're telling me it's actually true?"
There had once been a discovery: someone found one of Mew's eyelashes and managed to extract some data from it. That's when scientists realized Mew might possess the genetic blueprint of all Pokémon.
Some professors had even suggested Mew could be the genetic origin of the entire Pokémon species.
Cynthia had always assumed that was just a theory. But apparently... it was real.
"Some legends are real," Eevee said with a slight smile. "It's just that after so many years, the truth gets lost. But that doesn't mean they're false."
"Yeah, you're right. Grandma's going to be so jealous when she finds out we met three Legendaries in one day!" Cynthia giggled.

Inside the Consciousness Space
Later that night, everyone seemed to have shown up as if they'd all planned it beforehand. They were hanging out, chatting, and waiting for someone in particular.
Uchiha Renzo: "What's taking Eevee so long?"
Hermione: "Seriously! He left a message for everyone earlier, saying he had something super important to announce. What's the big mystery?"
Pirate Renzo: "Don't tell me it's just him finally unlocking his Dragon Evolution or whatever?"
Demon Slayer Renzo: "Pfft! If that's all it is, we're gonna beat him the second he shows up. He needs to learn not to mess with us like that. Hmph!"
Then a voice cut in just then.
"Ooh~! I heard that, you idiot!"
"If you try to leech off my power-sharing later, I'm cutting you off!"
Right on cue, Eevee stepped out of a spatial rift in his majestic Dragon Evolution form, looking smug as hell. He gave Demon Slayer a look that screamed, "I heard every word."
"Oh dang, you really did unlock your Dragon form! Nice one!"
"That's why you are our fav~"
Demon Slayer Renzo said with a grin, acting like he hadn't just been trash-talking Eevee two minutes ago.
Eevee just stared at him blankly, clearly unimpressed.
"So? You called us all here just to show off your new look or what?" Hermione crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow.
Not that she minded—she actually thought the Dragon form looked really cool.
She'd already made up her mind: the second she got back, she was going to experiment with turning her Animagus form into a dragon. And maybe even create her own Dragon Pokémon while she was at it. Just imagining it felt awesome.
"Come on, you think I'm that shallow?" Eevee leapt onto the table, raising a paw with a grin. "C'mon, everyone! Touch the paw, and you'll understand everything. I swear, after this, you're all gonna be thanking me and calling me 'boss'!"
"Well, now I have to see what this is."
Uchiha Renzo raised an eyebrow and reached out. But Eevee backed up two steps and glared.
"I'm warning you—don't pet my head. I'm serious! I'll throw hands!"
"Ahaha… who, me? Would I do something like that?"
Uchiha Renzo chuckled awkwardly.
"Yes. You. Always. Do." Eevee looked at him like he was garbage.
It wasn't even the first time. The guy was a repeat offender.
"Enough BS—just give me the paw already. Let's see what you've been bragging about."
Pirate Renzo put his hand on Eevee's paw first. One by one, the rest of them followed suit.
Then they all closed their eyes, letting the shared information flow through them.
A while later, they opened their eyes—staring at Eevee in stunned silence.
And then, almost in sync, they gave him a unanimous thumbs-up.
Pirate Renzo: "One word—legendary."
Demon Slayer Renzo: "Boss Eevee~"
Dragorr: "That was nuts! So Takamagahara really evolved into something on par with a small world?! The potential's insane!"
Uchiha Renzo: "You're all missing the real point. It's not just the evolution—it's how Takamagahara can now integrate different power systems and laws from various worlds."
"This changes everything. We might be done manually decoding abilities from now on!"
That really was a big deal.
Aizen chuckled and shook his head. "Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Takamagahara's still got its limits—it's not high-level enough to fully absorb divine energy on its own yet. It still needs ocular powers and omniscient-level analysis as support."
"But overall? Yeah, Eevee pulled off something amazing this time."
Aizen then sighed, "Man, none of those Legendary Pokémon are pushovers, huh?"
"Too bad the Mythical Essence from Mew couldn't be integrated yet. I was hoping to see what that looked like up close."
After all… it was Mew.
"Right? Such a shame." Apocalypse Renzo shrugged.
Zython: "With Mew and the Space-Time Duo now infused with this new otherworldly dragon energy… there's no way the Pokémon world isn't heading for some serious changes. Think Arceus will get involved?"
"Who knows?"
Fairy Tail Renzo spread his hands.
"But real talk—if the dragon energy from another world caused this much commotion, why didn't our earlier stuff—like the magic, Haki, Chakra, and even Reiatsu fusions—trigger a response from the Legendary Pokémon or Mew?"
He looked genuinely puzzled.
