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

The plains were not suitable for sheltering from the rain, so Su Hao put a small diamond on his shoulder, which in turn used rock-type energy to create a rock of suitable thickness to hold above his head to shield him and his pet from the rain.

"Splash...splash." Ignoring the mud splashing onto his brand-new white sneakers and trousers, he ran as fast as he could.

Wild Pokémon can be seen huddled together for warmth under trees everywhere along the roadside.

Su Hao planned to go into the mountains to find a slightly drier spot so that Xiao Xiazuan could create a rock overhead to block the rain.

With no raindrops falling, I can take out the prepared firewood from my system inventory and let the hot cat light it. In such cold and damp weather, without any heating measures, it's easy to catch a cold.

After his white shoes and trouser legs were stained black, he finally found a huge, naturally formed cave.

As the power of aura surged in, he did not rush into the cave, because this was in the wild, and the cave was very likely the home of other wild Pokémon.

After some investigation, he was surprised to find that there was no sign of wild Pokémon living in the cave, but there was one thing that was rather troubling.

Although the interior of the cave is spacious and flat, there is a pool of moderate size at its deepest point.

The pool water was crystal clear and bottomless, as if it led to the outside world.

But for him, having a place to shelter from the rain and a space to take a shower is already a blessing.

With tiny diamonds protruding from his head, Su Hao quickly ran into the cave and released the Fiery Cat from its Poké Ball.

"Meow~ (??)"

As soon as Hotcat came out of its Poké Ball, it looked around and was delighted to find the environment was finally a little drier.

(Heave-ho~(????))

Little Diamond Scattered Rock Umbrella jumped off Su Hao's shoulder. As a Rock-type Pokémon, she wasn't particularly fond of water.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Su Hao took out a large bundle of wood and placed it in front of him.

He arranged the wood in a flammable manner and said, "Hot cat, sparks~."

Sparks flew from the hot cat's mouth and landed on the wood.

"Crackling..." The wood quickly caught fire with a slight popping sound.

The person and two pets, warming themselves around the fire, showed a comfortable expression (灬oo灬).

After a short rest, Su Hao directed Little Diamond to use rock-based energy to create a rock bathtub with smooth inner walls.

He then took out a large iron pot and boiled it full of water, pouring the hot water into the bathtub so he could take a bath.

After quickly taking off his clothes in the makeshift stone changing room made of small diamonds, Su Hao felt that even if he was tired, it was all worth it as long as he had this moment!

After thoroughly cleaning himself up, he drew some water from the pool and washed his clothes and shoes, then hung them to dry on the stone wall.

After changing into dry clothes and shoes, he sat by the campfire to warm himself and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Fortunately, there was a clean water source in this cave; otherwise, it would have been necessary to wait until the rain stopped to keep it clean.

In order to have access to clean water resources anytime and anywhere in the future, should we look for a Water-type Pokémon to catch?

He had an idea, but it couldn't be implemented in a short time, so he took out the sleeping bag he had prepared and slowly fell asleep by the warmth of the campfire.

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

He didn't know how long he had slept when he felt something pushing him. He opened his blurry eyes, and the moment his gaze focused, he suddenly met a pair of dull, lifeless eyes.

What are you looking at?

Although Ugly Fish didn't say anything, Su Hao felt that tA meant that.

When the hot cat saw that Su Hao had woken up, it stopped moving its front paws.

"Meow......"

Hot Cat gestured for Su Hao to look at Ugly Fish.

"Hey hey." (Just now, tA suddenly popped out of the pool, and the cat and I didn't know what to do, so we had to wake you up.)

Little Diamond stared at Ugly Fish as he explained to Su Hao.

Su Hao looked at the ugly fish that had suddenly appeared and was somewhat perplexed.

After a moment's thought, he decided to first look at the data of the ugly fish before communicating with tA through waveguide power.

Pokémon: Feebas

Attribute: [Water]

Gender: [♀]

Characteristic: [Adaptability]

Level: [23]

Items: [None]

Moves: [Leap, Tackle, Mirror Reflection, Icy Wind, Water Pulse, Dragon Pulse]

He had been paying attention to it from the very beginning. Although this ugly fish looked dull, it was actually very emotional and clean all over, unlike those lifeless ugly fish.

And this ugly fish has actually reached the ordinary level.

The moves she knows are also a problem. Compared to Magikarp, Feebas in the wild is actually better. Before evolving into Gyarados, Magikarp mostly only knows one Splash, while Feebas can learn one or two attack moves.

But even if she can learn attack moves, they are only moves like ramming and berserk. Where did she learn the two moves in her skill bar, Wave and Frozen Wind?

Filled with questions, Su Hao attempted to communicate with the Ugly Fish using the power of waveguides.

(；?`д?′) What are you doing?

A clear, somewhat arrogant voice came from the other end of the link.

"I want to ask you, why are you here?" Su Hao had a bit of a headache; this ugly fish seemed a little difficult to communicate with.

(╬?д?) This is my home, why can't I be here?!

Ugly Fish's expression remained blank, but Su Hao could see a hint of anger in her eyes.

"This is your home. I'm sorry, we're just taking shelter from the rain temporarily. We'll leave once the rain stops," he tried to explain to Ugly Fish.

(′--｀) We're trying to avoid the rain. Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Remember to clean this place up before you leave, because your older brother and sister are very clean.

"Brother and sister? Are there any other Uglyfish or Milotic?" Su Hao asked.

(??3?) No, my older brother and sister and I are not of the same race. I was adopted by them.

Su Hao was curious about which Pokémon had adopted Feebas, but Feebas refused to answer his questions, so he had to give up.

At this moment, the rain outside gradually stopped, and Su Hao, along with Little Diamond and Hot Cat, cleaned up the inside of the cave.

After tidying up, he walked up to Ugly Fish and said, "I'm sorry for trespassing into your home. This is an apology to you."

After saying that, he handed the prepared energy cube to the ugly fish.

(?д?) Since you've admitted your mistake, I'll accept your apology.

Uglyfish opened its mouth and swallowed the energy cube. The wonderful taste melted into its stomach. Uglyfish, who had never eaten anything so delicious, almost cried out.

Warm sunlight streamed into the cave. Su Hao, accompanied by Little Diamond and Hot Cat, said goodbye to Ugly Fish, "Well, we're off now, see you later~"

Bye-bye, my older brother and sister haven't been home for several days, I have to go find them too~

Chapter 37 Water City - Mizushu City

Hot Cat embarked on its journey to Water Boat City once again, and finally, on the evening of the seventh day, the weary traveler and his two pets arrived at their destination—Water Boat City.

After a week of fighting, Little Diamond and Hot Cat have made great progress.

Pokémon: [Limithril (wearing a blue scarf)]

Attribute: [Fire]

Gender: [♂]

Characteristic: [Intimidate]

Props: [Charcoal]

Level: [30]

Moves: [High Five Surprise Attack, Flame Fang, Flame Jet, Bodybuilding, Shadow Claw, Flame Burst, Flame Charge...]

Before advancing to the Elite level, Hot Cat encountered a very troublesome Elite-level Golem.

When the fiery cat, who wanted to fight alone, used Charged Flame Strike, his heightened emotions caused the flames released from his Flame Bag to envelop him as he crashed into the golem.

The incredibly powerful "Charged Flame Strike" still managed to defeat Golem.

Having defeated a formidable foe, the fiery cat, fueled by high spirits, reached the elite level in one fell swoop.

Su Hao discovered through the panel that the Elite-level Flame Cat had learned a new move called [Flash Charge].

It's likely that when the Firecat defeated Golem, its Charged Flame Strike had already been upgraded to Flame Charge.
