Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The next morning, Feng, having had a rare good night's sleep, felt refreshed and energetic. He put on his clothes, tied his silk scarf around his waist, put on his Poké Ball and space bracelet, and got ready in front of the mirror by the door.

Next stop, Sinnoh!

Although Feng wanted to get there quickly, there was no port in Kanaz City. The fastest way to get to Sinnoh was to take a boat from Old Man Hatchi's wharf next to Orange City to Kaina City, and then go to Sinnoh from Kaina City's port. So the next stop should be Old Man Hatchi's wharf, which can be reached from Kanaz City through the outer edge of the Orange Forest.

Arriving at the junction of the southernmost part of Kanaz City and the Orange Forest, Feng looked back at the city where he had lived for four years, and felt a lot of emotions at once.

After a long silence, Feng muttered to himself, "Kanaz City, I will come back."

After saying that, Feng turned around and walked into the Orange Forest.

There aren't many threatening places in the outskirts of the Orange Forest for Feng right now. Apart from the large groups of elite Pokémon, there are only powerful Pokémon hunters who occasionally pass by.

Of course, there is also the mysterious organization that likes to attack new trainers in sparsely populated areas, with an industrial chain of creating disappearances - investigating family backgrounds - and selling identities.

There are very few wild Pokémon on the outskirts of the Orange Forest that are worthy of Aegisblade's attack, so Feng decided to only let Gyarados participate in the battle.

With Aegisblade's current strength of level 40, it won't gain much experience even if it bullies higher-level Pokémon. Only fighting with Pokémon of the same level or even higher levels can improve its strength. It's better to give the opportunity to fight to Gyarados.

As soon as he entered the forest, Feng felt like he was being watched. He looked around but saw no one or Pokémon worth noting. This made Feng wary, so he decided to hide the Shieldsword for a while, leaving a backup plan, and then continued forward.

Soon, Feng arrived at the outskirts of a stingtail's territory. Using the stats panel to observe the Pokémon inside, he discovered only two high-level Swallowtails and three mid-level Poisonous Powdermoths, along with a few other Carapace and Shield Cocoons. From time to time, stingtails would emerge from the nearby grass.

If it were the old Feng, he would definitely take a detour when encountering such a small tribe. It would be too strenuous to cut them down one by one with the double scabbards, and Gyarados was too big and moved slowly on land, so it would be entangled by the poisonous needles and silk and gradually worn down.

It’s different now. Gyarados has learned to bounce and can fly temporarily, and Feng can also perform mysterious protection to protect Gyarados from being poisoned.

"Gyarados, come out and intimidate the tribe first, then fly over and kill the two hunting swallowtail butterflies first, and then deal with the poisonous powder moth, and the rest will be easy."

Before releasing Gyarados, Feng simply deployed tactics on the Poké Ball.

This is also the basic operation of many trainers. After all, if you wait until you release it before saying it, the opponent will know your plan.

"Go ahead, Gyarados."

"Roar!"

As soon as it appeared, Gyarados roared, attracting the attention of many Pokémon. Several hunting butterflies were frightened by the sudden appearance of the ferocious dragon, and could only flap their wings instinctively.

In an instant, the dragon soared into the air like an arrow, dashing towards the hunting butterfly at an astonishing speed. At the same time, a layer of icy frost enveloped its massive tail, emanating strands of cold air as it unleashed its Frozen Fang skill.

The hunting swallowtail butterflies, which had been leisurely playing in the air, were instantly terrified by this sudden change. They panicked and quickly released various skills to try to resist this terrible attack.

However, they were already within Gyarados's attack range. Relentlessly, Gyarados swung its frost-covered tail, a fierce sweep across. This attack was terrifyingly powerful, not only destroying the Hunting Swallowtails' abilities, but also the Hunting Swallowtails themselves, sending them flying.

Their skills were negated, and the two Hunting Swallowtails were instantly killed by the ice-type skills, which had a quadruple counter. Seeing this, several nearby Powdermoths unleashed their signature poison powder attacks, but were blocked by a transparent light curtain in front of Gyarados. Gyarados then flew over with a few more tails, sending the Powdermoths plummeting.

The spinytails, armored cocoons, and shelled cocoons below were horrified at this, most of them retreating into tree holes or hiding in the grass. Only two shelled cocoons stared at Gyarados angrily, their bodies glowing white.

When the tribe was in crisis, they actually evolved!

But evolution cannot change the huge gap in strength, and it is immediately crushed by Gyarados.

When the dust settled, Feng appeared and said, "Well done, Gyarados. You can now stand on your own."

Hearing Feng's praise, Gyarados roared happily and twisted its body around Feng to express its joy.

After defeating the swarm of spiny-tailed insects, Feng continued forward and arrived at the territory of the walking grass tribe. After some observation, he understood the general distribution of strength in the territory.

One high-level Queen Flower, three mid-level Stinky Doves, and several Walking Grasses are not as strong as the previous group of Thorntail Insects.

The only thing you need to be careful about are the disgusting powders: poison powder, hypnotic powder, and paralysis powder. However, these are completely countered by Feng's mysterious protection and will not be effective if the strength is below the same.

In this world, transformation moves or moves that directly affect HP like Hold On and Reckless won't be fully effective against higher-level opponents, but will be reduced based on the level difference. Otherwise, a newly born Pokémon wouldn't be able to easily kill a god.

Knowing the strength of the Walking Grass tribe, Feng once again sent out the general Gyarados.

After a while, General Gyarados, who had killed all his opponents, returned triumphantly, and Feng rewarded it with its favorite energy cube.

They walked and killed along the way. At noon, Feng came to a stream and planned to prepare food for Gyarados and Aegisblade.

Although elf food is not as valuable as energy blocks, it is equally important. It can provide elves with energy of various attributes, allowing them to use non-native skills.

Just as Feng was preparing food for Gyarados, a slightly smaller Gyarados suddenly emerged from the stream, showing its big head and roaring at Feng, probably meaning to tell him to get out of its territory.

Feng, who didn't tolerate him, threw his Gyarados Poké Ball backhand, and saw a Gyarados with a bigger body appear, looking down at the "petite" one in front of it.

The wild Gyarados that had been roaring at him before was now silent and quickly dived into the stream as if he had never appeared.

Taking up his position by the stream, Feng re-arranged the food, placing Gyarados's food in a bowl and pouring it into its large mouth. He then secretly poured Aegisblade's food into his own shadow, throwing in a few energy cubes.

Feng hadn't felt spied on for half a day, and wondered if it was just a Pokémon playing tricks at the entrance. Ghost-type Pokémon like Gengar, for example, were both good at hiding and fond of playing pranks.
