Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

"Beautiful Scales, a special offer of 20 Divine Coins! Wishing you success in evolving your desired Milotic!"

Nodding, Su Hao swiped his card, took his things, and left.

Before leaving home, Su's father specially transferred a large sum of money to his account. Combined with the New Year's money he had saved since childhood, it was almost enough to buy a quasi-god egg!

Although I don't know if I'll ever meet a lucky Ugly Fish, it's better to be prepared.

After browsing the market for a while, Su Hao bought a lot of berries to make Energy Cubes and asked the vendors to deliver them to his booked hotel before leaving the Trainer Market.

After spending a day shopping in the commercial district of Baohe City and buying a lot of supplies, Su Hao returned to the Hanxiubao Hotel, which he had booked in advance.

The tree fruits he bought at the market that morning were already neatly arranged in the room. He unpacked them and sorted them into his system backpack.

The system backpack has a preservation function, so the fruit won't spoil no matter how long you leave it inside.

Chapter 35 Wilderness

I woke up in the soft, comfortable bed at the Shy Bun Hotel.

He could still hear that voice in his sleep last night, but his memory became blurry every time he woke up.

After gradually getting used to it, it wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.

Covered with a fleece quilt, Su Hao lay on the bed and groped around on the bedside table.

"Ah, found it!" After rummaging around for a while, he picked up two small spheres and magnified them.

A completely black Poké Ball appeared in Su Hao's hand, except for two gold-plated rings.

Luxury Balls, with their high price tag, offer a luxurious interior space, boasting a level of comfort suitable for any Pokémon.

When traveling, it's inconvenient to bring Little Diamond and Hot Cat's little bed along, so when he saw the deluxe balls on the vendor's cart, he had a bright idea and bought six deluxe balls.

Back at the hotel, I released Little Diamond and Litten and changed their Poké Balls.

After experiencing the luxury sphere, Little Diamond told him that the space inside was very comfortable, and there was also an energy continuously restoring her strength.

Hot Cat's answer was even simpler: "I just wanted to sleep as soon as I went in!"

With the deluxe ball, even in the wild, Little Diamond and Hot Cat can have a comfortable resting space.

------------

We left the Shy Bun Hotel and exited Baohe City.

Having arrived in the wilderness, Su Hao prepared to travel to Shuizhou City on foot.

This time in the wild is perfect for training and battles.

You can also capture Pokémon that you're destined to meet!

After deciding to challenge the gyms, he checked the forums and found that gym battles are at least 3v3 Pokémon battles, and a few double gyms require four Pokémon.

Su Hao released both Little Diamond and Hot Cat from their Poké Balls.

Because Pokémon may attack at any time in the wild, you cannot let your guard down.

There is a long river running along the road from Baohe City to Shuizhou City. Following the river downstream will lead you to Shuizhou City, a city surrounded by the sea.

This river originates in Baohe City, reaches Shuizhou City, and finally flows into the sea through the city's waterways.

Because it is connected to the sea, there are also many Pokémon that have swum in from the sea in the river.

At this moment, Su Hao was blocked by this Pokémon.

Pokémon: Tentacruel

Attributes: [Water + Poison]

Gender: [♂]

Special Feature: [Rain Dish] (Stamina will slowly recover on rainy days)

Level: [35]

Techniques: [Poison Needle, Water Gun, Dissolving Liquid, Binding, Foam Beam...]

Wow, it's a Stingray with a Dream Ability!

With his early-stage elite-level strength, he should be considered a minor overlord in this river.

If the attacks of normal-level Pokémon are like bullets, then the attacks of elite-level Pokémon are like cannons.

"Which one of you two will go up?"

Little Diamond and Hot Cat looked at each other for a moment, and then Little Diamond volunteered to fight!

"Grrrrrr!"

The head of the stinging jellyfish is blue, with two large and one small red agate-like objects on its head.

Its eyes are located on the lower black section, from which grow blue, pincer-like objects. Its tentacles are also poisonous.

At this moment, the stinging jellyfish blocking the land released its venomous stinger.

The tiny needles formed from poisonous energy rained down on Su Hao like bullets from an anti-aircraft gun.

"Magic shines!"

Faced with the poison needles falling from the sky, Little Diamond spread out a magical shimmering barrier.

The spreading magical light directly blocked all the poison needles.

Having dealt with the venomous stinger, the stinging jellyfish is already preparing for its next attack.

A beam of iridescent light kept gathering in front of the jellyfish's closed tentacles.

It must be an aurora beam attack!

Su Hao made a judgment about the Tentacruel's moves.

As the saying goes, you have to fight magic with magic. Since Tentacruel uses beam attacks, let's use beam attacks here too!

"Little Diamond, prepare your meteor beam!"

"Hot Cat uses its Flamethrower to block the Aurora Beam!"

to him,

In open-world battles, there's no need to focus on one-on-one combat. If you have an advantage in a two-on-one situation, why not go for it?

The flames spewed by the fiery cat completely neutralized the aurora beam, and soon, the meteor beam from the small diamond directly broke through the center of the explosion and struck the stinging jellyfish.

The stinging jellyfish, struck by the attack, was left battered and bruised. After staring at Su Hao for a moment, it turned and fled!

This was the first time he had ever seen a Pokémon as spineless as Tentacruel, but he could understand it. After all, losing the ability to battle in the wild meant losing the ability to move and becoming helpless.

Now that the stinging jellyfish has been moistened, it's time to continue the journey.

Several Pokémon appeared along the way, but they were all elite-level Pokémon, and I didn't encounter any particularly strong ones.

These Pokémon were all defeated by Smash and Litten, and they all turned and ran away when they were about to lose their ability to battle.

After defeating several wild Pokémon, Litten reached level 26, one step closer to its final evolution.

Although Little Diamond's level hasn't increased yet, its strength is constantly improving thanks to the Elf Candies that Su Hao redeemed from the system.

When night fell, he found a flat spot on higher ground and took out a camping tent from his backpack to set up camp.

Su Hao and Little Diamond Hot Cat took turns keeping watch that night, and the night passed peacefully without any incidents.

------------

In the Spiral Realm, two uninvited guests once again arrived inside the giant tower.

Looking at the screen in front of him, the short man wearing a hood said with some surprise, "A few days ago, the machine we installed in the tower sensed a violent energy fluctuation. Could that record be real?"

Looking at the values ​​on the small machine screen, the tall figure with an exceptionally hoarse voice said, "Yes, the peak output has directly reached the champion to master level."

"Can you check if there have been any records of any unusual changes here recently?"

"Only a few days ago, the giant tower shook, like an earthquake."

"Tch, is this informant even reliable?" The short man scoffed.

"Our informant has provided us with entry and exit records for the secret realm over the past few days. Should we check them?"

"Investigate? Of course we'll investigate. Our New Star Organization has gone to various secret realms after launching the operation, but without any results. Only here has there been some changes."

"Moreover, those mad dogs from the Divine Continent Alliance have already wiped out quite a few of our peripheral members. If we don't cause trouble soon, the higher-ups will probably blame us." The short man shuddered, as if he had remembered something terrifying.

Chapter 36 The Protected Being

Three days have passed since Su Hao left Baohe City.

Starting the next day, a light drizzle began to fall.

Although the rain wasn't heavy, two days of continuous rain made the river more turbulent.

The rain also significantly slowed down Su Hao's progress.
