Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

However, the teacher himself did not dislike it; on the contrary, he enjoyed the lively atmosphere and therefore received them every year when they came to visit for the New Year.

This reminded Nanfeng of his own past, when his teacher, to protect him, publicly claimed to be his student. He seemed genuinely happy to mentor students.

But the number of people who truly received instruction and guidance from their teachers is actually less than two. Some were unable to return home in time and could only wish their teachers a Happy New Year over the phone.

The seven days of New Year's greetings are also the seven most difficult days for the south wind.

The reason is simple: led by senior Dong Yan, with senior Huo Wenjie as support and senior Zhuo Yan as the jungler, they challenged Nanfeng to battles every day.

After the main team finishes, they move on to the second team, and after the second team, they move on to the third team. Senior Dong Yan and Senior Huo Wenjie have not only played against the third team, but they have played against the sixth team as well. Whatever level of opponent Nanfeng needs, they have the corresponding level of Pokémon.

With Ziyi's Milotic, Blissey, and Optimus Prime all at her disposal, Nanfeng didn't even need to turn on her handheld console to go to the Pokémon Center for treatment. She was almost ready to battle again in no time. Moreover, given Ziyi's medical skills, there was absolutely no possibility of any lingering injuries.

Therefore, Nanfeng could be said to have had an absolutely blissful seven days.

However, it must be said that the elves' strength has improved very quickly, and not just in terms of level.

Major Pokémon like Gardevoir and Greninja all experience a level boost during intense battles against strong opponents.

Meanwhile, second-team Pokémon like Aggron and Steelix have reached level three or four due to their increased levels.

As for the Pokémon in the South Wind Third Team, their levels have all increased to level seven or higher.

It's fair to say that Nanfeng's Pokémon's strength has increased significantly in terms of level. This is much faster than leveling up one Pokémon at a time in the game.

After all, there are now more than a dozen Pokémon leveling up together.

Aside from the increase in level, the greater improvement is in the Pokémon's mastery of moves.

Elite Four members, the strongest Gym Leaders, and veteran Pokémon Investigators—no matter which one it is, their main Pokémon have been honed over decades. Even if their levels are not high, their mastery and proficiency in moves are extremely high, allowing them to provide Nanfeng and his Pokémon with different understandings of the same move.

It deepens the Pokémon's understanding of how to use moves.

For example, when Nanfeng saw the teacher's superhuman strength and Huo Wenjie's double-axe dragon cleaving, the effect of creating "sword energy" was actually an extension of the application of a move.

After consulting with senior student Huo Wenjie, Nanfeng was able to make his Pokémon have the same effect when using the Slash move.

Furthermore, Nanfeng plans to have Greninja apply the same technique to Cut, and then promote it to her other Pokémon, hoping that Cut can also create "sword energy".

Tsk tsk, Nanfeng gets excited just thinking about it.

One day, Nanfeng and senior student Huo Wenjie practiced together.

Senior Huo Wenjie also has a Garchomp, so the two agreed to use Garchomp in their battle.

Nanfeng's Garchomp has a slight advantage because, thanks to the blessing of Divine Treasure: Abundance, it outperforms Huo Wenjie's Garchomp in terms of ground control.

"Alright, that's enough for now," Huo Wenjie said, raising his hand in a gesture of frustration.

Why is Garchomp from my own Garchomp much stronger than Garchomp from Southwind's Garchomp, except for its ability to control the ground?

Could it be that my Garchomp is only good at one thing?

Dong Yan also watched the entire match and came up to Nan Feng to say something.

"Your Garchomp seems to have a talent for ground control; you could train it specifically for that purpose."

"Okay, senior, I understand," Nanfeng quickly agreed. He thought so too. Since they had the Divine Treasure Abundance, they had to maximize its value.

Ground-type moves include many physical moves, which can both boost Garchomp's attack power and bring out its naturally excellent Attack stat.

With both combined, Garchomp's combat power would be quite terrifying, which is why his Garchomp was able to suppress Huo Wenjie's Garchomp at least 10 levels higher.

After a short rest, I handed the elf over to Senior Sister Ziyi for treatment, and had a sip of tea myself. It's easy to get thirsty when you talk too much while directing training.

Just as Nanfeng picked up his tea and took a sip, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhang Tianming.

"."Hello"

"Brother Feng, I'm getting ready to go back to the dojo. Which way do I need to go? Should I come to Qiantang to find you first, or should we meet at Taihang Airport?" Zhang Tianming's voice came through the phone.

"Let's meet at Taihang Airport. Send me your flight information and I'll buy a ticket for a similar time," Nanfeng said.

He had originally planned to travel from Ancheng with Zhang Tianming.

However, I didn't go home for the Chinese New Year this year, so I can't travel from Ancheng. But I promised them before, so I still have to go.

After hanging up the phone, Nanfeng went to tell the teacher.

Back in the teacher's room, he was watching TV, with a Sylveon perched on his lap. This was Senior Sister Ziyi's Pokémon, specially given to the old man to keep him entertained during the New Year.

Perhaps it was the teacher's inexplicable friendliness that made most of the elves want to get close to it. The fairy lay comfortably, dozing off.

"Teacher, I'm going to the Chiba Dojo in Taihang Province tomorrow. I'll be back as soon as possible, no later than the Lantern Festival," Nanfeng said. He wanted to return before the Lantern Festival because his teacher planned to take him to challenge the Dojo Trainers after the Lantern Festival.

“Going to Chiba Dojo? Then remember to say hello to Ye Qianting for me,” Bai Wenru nodded.

"You know Ye Qianting too?" Nanfeng asked curiously.

"I helped him out more than ten years ago, so I've been sending him New Year's gifts every year. Just a few days ago, one of his disciples came to wish him a Happy New Year."

(I forgot to post this; this was yesterday's fifth update. Now I'll start preparing today's update.)

228. Chiba Dojo

We flew to Taihang Province.

The flight is direct, but it takes five hours.

So Nanfeng's flight was at 7 a.m. and he arrived at his destination at 12 p.m., just in time to have lunch with Zhang Tianming before going to Chiba Dojo.

If everything goes smoothly and nothing unexpected happens, I can collect my belongings, stay overnight, and return early the next morning.

On the flight to Taihang Province, Nanfeng saw a news article on his phone.

Regigicas Reappears in the Mayan Forest

You'll only know if you click in to see.

It turns out that the Land Cloud, which had been blasted away by Regigigas, returned to the Mayan Forest and, for some unknown reason, became enraged.

Its rage caused a landslide, which resulted in Regigigas reappearing and giving it a sound beating.

This time, instead of knocking the land cloud away again, they pressed it directly into the soil.

According to relevant personnel, this punch directly knocked the land cloud thousands of meters down, and even revealed the magma belt of the Mayan volcano.

Goodness, Whitebeard fought Akainu at Marineford.

However, the land spirit who holds a divine position should not be so easily eliminated.

030 “Poor land cloud” Nanfeng thought apologetically, knowing it was impossible for him to return the Divine Treasure Abundance to it.

However, once I become stronger in the future, I can try to subdue it.

Then it wouldn't be unreasonable to return the Divine Treasure Abundance to its true owner.

Land Cloud: Thank you so much!

When Nanfeng landed at Taihang Airport and walked out of the exit, Zhang Tianming was already waiting for her with his luggage and sunglasses, accompanied by a female companion.

It's Ye Shaohan.

"Brother Feng, this!" Zhang Tianming took off his sunglasses and called out to Nanfeng.

Nanfeng walked over with her bag on her back.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I arrived about twenty minutes earlier than you. Let's go grab a bite to eat. Airplane food is awful," Zhang Tianming said to Nanfeng as they walked out.

Ye Shaohan drove the car and took Zhang Tianming and Nanfeng to eat a local specialty stir-fry in the city. They didn't head to the Chiba Dojo until 1:30 pm.

Chiba Gym is located outside the city, nestled deep in a mountain forest. As a Grass-type gym, its location is naturally one that is closest to nature.

"Brother Nan, if any of our fellow disciples from the dojo offend you later, don't worry about saving face for me, just fight them!" Zhang Tianming suddenly said to Nanfeng as they approached the Chiba Dojo.

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow. "How could you be so offensive to me? What do you mean by that?"

“Ding Peng is well-liked in the dojo, so there might be a few fools who will try to cause trouble for him,” Zhang Tianming explained.

Nanfeng nodded. "Don't worry, if they dare to mess with me, I'll beat them until they submit."

Based on his current strength, apart from Ye Qianting, the head of the Chiba Gym, he doesn't need to take any other disciples or trainers seriously.

With his teacher as his backer, even if he caused trouble, as long as he was in the right, Ye Qianting couldn't do anything to him.

Nanfeng actually hoped that those guys would provoke him, so that he could establish his authority and make those who wanted to bully his younger brothers think twice in the future.

The car stopped outside the woods, where there was a small estate with a large parking lot. It served as the reception area for the Chiba Dojo.

They parked the car here, passed through the manor, and Zhang Tianming and Ye Shaohan led Nanfeng into the forest.

As soon as Nanfeng entered, he smelled a wonderful fragrance that was particularly refreshing, and everything around him seemed exceptionally bright.

The flowers were vibrant and beautiful, the trees were lush and green, and the birds sang melodiously. A long, winding flagstone path stretched into the depths of the forest, captivating all who walked upon it.

(bhai) After walking a few steps, I saw a family of four—walking grass, stinky flower, queen of the night, and beautiful flower—under a big tree.

Not far away, several brown-backed, yellow-spotted deer roamed through the forest.

The Four Seasons Deer is a creature whose fur color changes with the seasons; its winter appearance is brown back and yellow spots.

Ye Shaohan stretched out her hand slightly, and the Four Seasons Deer immediately jumped over and rubbed against her hand. Not far away, the parents of the Four Seasons Deer, which are their evolved forms, the Sprout Deer, were staring at Nanfeng, this stranger. The winter form of the Sprout Deer had white antlers and fluffy fur, as if it were wearing a white scarf and four white wristbands.

After crossing a lake, we reached Ludicolo's territory. It lay sprawled on the lake's surface, surrounded by Lotus Hat and Lily Pad swimming around it. Many Grass-type Pokémon also came to drink.

Breloom, Jumpluff, Stranglethorn, Roselia, and even the starter Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Grovyle are quite common.

"So many Grass-type Pokémon!" Nanfeng exclaimed.

"Of course, this is a ranch dedicated to Grass-type Pokémon. Most Grass-type Pokémon in the world can be found here," Ye Shaohan said proudly.

"My father specifically placed the dojo on the ranch so that he could take better care of them."

Zhang Tianming continued, "Thanks to the teacher's care, the Grass-type Pokémon here are far stronger than those in the wild, both in terms of potential and combat power. Therefore, most of the Grass-type Pokémon we captured later came from this ranch."

Nanfeng nodded, "That's standard procedure."

As far as I know, many gym leaders place their gyms near ranches. Take my senior, Huo Wenjie, for example.

His gym is the Ice Dragon Gym, located on a large snow-covered mountain, which is also his farm where he raises Pokémon.

Dragon-type Pokémon live in the valley, while the snow-covered mountaintop is the habitat of Ice-type Pokémon and the location of the Gym. According to him, the Dragon-type Pokémon living there naturally have more resistance to Ice-type moves than ordinary Dragon-type Pokémon.

Normally, Dragon-type Pokémon might take double damage from Ice-type moves, but his Dragon-type Pokémon might only take 1.7 or 1.8 times damage from Ice-type moves.

Huo Wenjie is not the only one in a similar situation.

Therefore, gym leaders often prefer to raise and breed unique Pokémon themselves in an easy way.

After crossing the lake, they arrived at the entrance of the dojo. Before even entering, Nanfeng saw a graceful young woman whose appearance resembled Ye Shaohan.

She is Ye Shaoqing, Ye Qianting's eldest daughter.

"Welcome, guest. My father specifically asked me to wait for you here."

229. The Legendary Flower

"Sister?!" Ye Shaohan looked at Ye Shaoqing in surprise, completely unexpected that her sister would come out to greet her personally.

Ye Shaoqing nodded slightly to his younger sister, then gestured for Nanfeng to follow.

Nanfeng walked forward calmly. Seeing how polite Ye Shaoqing was, it seemed that his idea of ​​using the other disciples of Qianye Dojo to establish his authority was going to fail.

Led by Ye Shaoqing, Nanfeng was able to enter the Chiba Dojo.

Even inside the Chiba Gym, the grass is lush and green, and trees stand tall. You can see many trainers training or resting with their Grass-type Pokémon.

Seeing Ye Shaoqing and Nanfeng pass by, the disciples all cast curious glances their way.

In the past, there were only three types of people who came to the Chiba Dojo: challengers, visitors, and those who wanted to become disciples.

Challengers are usually trainers in their thirties or forties, while visitors are all people who have connections with Gym Leader Ye Qianting, and are at least forty years old. Only trainers who become his disciples are about the same age as Nanfeng.

However, some of them had already received word that the dojo master's daughter, Ye Shaoqing, was going to meet someone who wanted to take away their dojo's treasure.

Many people began to hate Nanfeng even before they knew what kind of treasure it was.

Nanfeng had no way of knowing his disciple's emotions, but with the Soothing Bell, he was perfectly aware of the elves' innermost thoughts.

The elves' hostility towards themselves was purely based on the fact that their master viewed the South Wind as an enemy, so they also viewed the South Wind as an enemy.
