Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

And no one will know until it is fully absorbed.

The textbook only mentions the "Secret Treasure" level, without explaining this item in detail.

After all, most people will never come into contact with something of the level of a secret treasure in their lifetime.

The first of the three treasures is the Miracle Seed, which can enhance the power of Grass-type Pokémon's skills.

I don't currently have any Grass-type Pokémon, so this is a PASS item.

The second treasure is the Metal Coat, a Steel-type Pokémon item that can enhance the power of Steel-type Pokémon's moves.

A Steel-type Pokémon, it has a Kordorella.

When Onix evolves into Steelix, it will also have the Steel type.

In particular, Onix needs Metal Coat to evolve into Steelix. I originally planned to use a top-tier Treasure-grade Metal Coat, which provides a 30% boost, for Onix's evolution, but now it seems I've found a more suitable item.

After all, no item can give Onix the best possible evolution than a treasure-level metal membrane.

I glanced at the third treasure, the Sun Stone.

I don't have any Pokémon that need to evolve using the Sun Stone.

It seems there's no need to hesitate; I only have one choice.

"I want a metal film."

98. Flame Pattern Metallic Film

Qiantang News Flash: Students from Qiantang University donated a *Mizhiguo* (a type of fruit tree) to the university, and Bai Wenru accepted them as his disciples. See below for details.

Nanfeng was stunned for a long time when she saw this news.

He hadn't expected Principal Bai Wenru to release such information.

The message was sent to quell the uproar caused by Nanfeng's actions with the Mizhi Fruit Tree at the school yesterday, and to inform those forces that had focused their attention on the matter because of the message.

This Mizhi fruit tree has been acquired by our Qiantang University, and it was President Bai Wenru who personally took it over. You guys can all take a break now.

As for those who receive the south wind as disciples....

Nanfeng did not receive any news from the school. Bai Wenru did not tell him, nor did he actually take him on as a disciple. After all, he had stopped taking on disciples long ago. His last disciple was twenty years ago, and he was twice as old as Nanfeng.

This shows that accepting disciples was just a signal, a signal that Bai Wenru was supporting and protecting Nanfeng.

This will save Nanfeng a lot of trouble in the future.

Anyone who wants to set their sights on Nanfeng should first consider whether they are qualified to go toe-to-toe with Bai Wenru.

Nanfeng's admiration for Principal Bai Wenru reached a new level after saying "That's so thoughtful!"

Only a principal like him could truly manage Qiantang University well and cultivate so many talents! And the graduates from here are willing to return to Qiantang University.

This reminded Nanfeng of Lin Jian. There had been news reports that Lin Jian had received better offers elsewhere, but he resolutely returned to his alma mater.

...

Because it was still a holiday and counselor Tang Zhihui was away on vacation, Nanfeng couldn't go to the East Sea Dragon's Nest on his own. He could only wait until she returned before trying to subdue Ya Ya.

The matter of the Mizhi Fruit Tree has come to an end.

Nanfeng, holding the metal membrane that Principal Bai Wenru had just given him, prepared to evolve Onix into Steelix.

He had already checked the properties of the treasure-grade metal membrane using his handheld device.

Flame Pattern Metal Coat: Increases the power of Steel-type moves by 40%, and Steel-type moves inflict Fire-type burn damage.

The handheld device also clearly records the additional abilities of the treasures that are impossible for people to detect with machines.

Steel-type moves inflict Fire-type burn damage...

"Tsk tsk," Nanfeng remembered that there were no Steel-type moves that could cause a burn effect.

If, during a battle, the opponent takes a Steel-type move and gets burned, that would be a serious problem.

That expression must have been quite something!

Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people at the school, Nanfeng prepared to leave the school fence, go to the beach on the island, find a secluded corner, release the Giant Onix, and give it a full-body massage using Flame Pattern Metal Membrane.

In the game, Onix evolves into Steelix by requiring a "Link-Switch" with the Pokémon holding a Metal Coat. (Link-Evolution is too unfriendly to single-player players, so I don't use Pokémon that require Link-Evolution in the game.)

In reality, things are simpler and more direct.

Simply coat Onix's body with a metal coating, and it will naturally evolve into Steelix. (In the Arceus version, using a metal coating allows Onix to evolve.)

If the level 40 Onix evolves into Steelix, it will also possess special abilities granted by the Secret Treasure.

It will quickly become your trump card.

But just as Nanfeng stepped out of the dormitory to carry out the plan, he suddenly remembered something and came back.

He suddenly realized that he should defeat the Fire-type Gym first before evolving Onix.

The reason is simple: I still need to use Onix to fight the LavaCity Gym.

Rock-type Onix is ​​resistant to Fire, while Steel-type Steelix is ​​weak to Fire.

Back in his room, Nanfeng turned on his handheld console and controlled the protagonist to travel to LavaCity, where he once again challenged the LavaCity Gym Leader, "Asa."

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Nanfeng found himself in a dojo. The temperature around him instantly rose by seven or eight degrees, and the unique scent of hot springs filled Nanfeng's nostrils.

He has arrived at the Fuma Dojo.

Opposite her was a girl with red hair that was parted like an iron tree, wearing a crop top and long pants.

"Welcome... oh no, insignificant challenger, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"It seems that the person I defeated hasn't lost the courage to become a trainer!"

"I don't mean to belittle you, I just want to remind you that if you haven't made much progress since last time, you should probably leave now, because the outcome won't change."

"Because... the gap between you and me is too big!"

Aysa crossed her arms, proudly tilted her head back, and her smugness revealed a touch of childishness, making it hard to get angry at her.

Nanfeng took out a Poké Ball. "Enough talk, you're definitely going to lose today!"

“You’re the one who’s going to lose! Just like last time, I’ll show you the fiery moves we’ve honed on this land!” Asha retorted defiantly.

The referee, who was already in position, announced the news after confirming that both trainers were in place.

"The match that is about to begin is the Furnace City Gym Challenge, where Trainer Nanfeng will challenge Furnace City Gym Leader Asa. Both trainers can use three Pokémon, and there is no opportunity to switch Pokémon. The battle ends when one trainer runs out of Pokémon."

"The Gym Leader should send out their Pokémon first."

Aysa raised her hand and threw the Poké Ball with a clean and decisive motion.

The Poké Ball opened upon landing, and a level 38 Torkoal landed on the battle field. It had leveled up by 2 since the last battle.

"Mah!" Coal Turtle roared powerfully, spewing out hot white smoke from its nose.

Upon its appearance, even before the battle began, the sun blazed brightly above the battlefield.

Sunlight characteristics triggered, sunny weather is coming!

Southwind throws out a Poké Ball, and the Pokémon that appears is Onix.

The massive rock snake, made entirely of diamond and measuring thirty meters in length, was incredibly imposing! Upon its appearance, its enormous size occupied half the area, and its serpentine head coldly surveyed the coal turtle from above!

"Wow, it's huge!" Asha couldn't help but exclaim.

A typical Onix is ​​about twenty meters long, but this one is clearly much longer. Its size alone is enough to demonstrate its power and extraordinary nature!

The referee confirmed that both sides were in position, then swung his flag downwards and announced the results.

"The battle begins!"

Nanfeng immediately shouted, "Sandstorm!"

(Asa is quite pretty...)

99. Weather Hand

The surging winds whipped up flying sand, enveloping the entire battlefield. The intense sunlight was obscured by the sandstorm, and the deep, resonant sound of horns echoed through the air.

Southwind's first command was to have Onix use Sandstorm.

The sandstorm weather created naturally replaces the sunny weather provided by Torkoal's Solar Beam ability. During the sandstorm, non-Ground, non-Rock, and non-Steel type Pokémon will take continuous damage.

Furthermore, Rock-type Pokémon will receive a 1 to 5 times boost to Special Defense.

The effects and amplification of sandstorms are irrelevant to southerly winds. As long as the weather at the battlefield is not sunny, the battle will be easy to fight!

"Coal Turtle, use Sunny Day" Aysa - trying to regain control of the weather.

Fire-type Pokémon in sunny weather are completely different from those in sunny weather.

In particular, Asha remembers that Nanfeng also has a water-type Greninja.

Therefore, we must take control of the weather!

Sandstorms can replace sunny days, and sunny days can naturally replace sandstorms. The relationship is simply a matter of who has the strongest weather control ability; whoever has it has the right to control the weather.

Aysa was very confident in her Torkoal, after all, she had always trained it to be the strongest weather setter. Aysa didn't believe that the weather setter Southwind had found in such a short time after her defeat could compete with her carefully trained Torkoal for control of the weather!

"Quicksand Hell!" Ignoring Asha's command, Nanfeng launched an attack directly.

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, the giant onyx lashed its tail, slamming it heavily onto the ground, causing the entire battlefield to tremble.

Cracks immediately appeared under the coal turtle's feet, and a powerful force rapidly twisted the soil beneath its feet, destroying it bit by bit until it turned into quicksand.

"Mah-poo!" Coal Turtle didn't resist or dodge. It shouted loudly from a distance and spat out a ball of light from its mouth, which shot straight into the sky.

The ball of light exploded in mid-air, bringing with it a fierce and scorching white light, as if the sun had suddenly increased its power projection, trying to stop the gale and knock down the flying sand.

But the battle between the weather systems lasted only three seconds before the bright orb of light was mercilessly shattered by the swirling sandstorm.

"Sunny Day failed to activate? Why? Does this giant rock have a much better grasp of the weather than Coal Tortoise?" Asha stared in shock at the shimmering Onix before her, feeling utterly incredulous.

Compared to Onix, Torkoal has the Solar Beam ability, making it a natural Sunny Day weather setter. It is also stronger in Special Attack than Onix, so why did it fail to steal the weather?

Nanfeng had anticipated that the attempt to launch the attack would fail under clear skies.

Using a move to change the weather does have an advantage, but this advantage is limited.

While Onix was using Sandstorm, Southwind took out the Rock Horn and casually blew it.

A 25% increase in all stats, plus a 50% increase in the power of Rock-type moves, and Southwind also gave Onix the skill Rock Smash, all these benefits combined.

Even though Onix is ​​a higher-level creature than Torkoal, it can't easily break through the weather conditions that Torkoal created earlier.

Therefore, how could it possibly succeed on a sunny day?

"Rockfall!" Nanfeng gave the order again.

Coal Turtle is already trapped in the quicksand hell and can't get out; the rockfall is just to speed up the battle.

Countless basketball-sized rocks rained down from the sky, quickly burying the coal turtle.

"Torrell is unable to battle, Onix wins!" the referee announced.

"Should we try to catch a Tyranitar?" Nanfeng wondered as he watched Torkoal lose.

My lineup does seem capable of forming a sandstorm squad.

Garchomp's ability is "Sand Cloak," while Mega Garchomp's ability is "Sand Power."

Mega Steelix's ability is Sand Power.

I also have an Aggron that, while lacking the corresponding ability, is a Steel/Rock dual-type.

Paired with a pseudo-legendary weather setter Tyranitar, the four of them, in a team of six (choose four), wreak havoc!

Besides, I have the Rock Horn. Ground and Rock types are similar, so even if Garchomp and Steelix don't get the type bonus, they can still benefit from the Rock move boost.

It seems there are no habitats for Tyranitar and his family in the Hoenn region... which is a bit of a hassle.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ·······

Nanfeng felt he needed to go back to Kaina City to ask the old captain when the ship would finally be repaired! He couldn't wait to explore other areas.

"Well done!" Asha praised through gritted teeth, then took out a Poké Ball and recalled Torkoal.
