I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"Huh, Rotom? How...how...how do I know...so clearly?" Rotom covered his head in surprise, swaying back and forth in the air.

"Alright, Rotom, calm down," Ye Feng reassured him.

It seems that the encyclopedia is indeed as I expected. With Rotom's possession, it has become an intelligent device that can directly turn the information in the encyclopedia into its own knowledge.

However, it seems that he is not very familiar with the possession device, so he is a bit clumsy in using it.

After letting Rotom get used to his new body, Ye Feng rode his Growlithe for a while before finally managing to hail a car—there was no other way, as the others didn't know the haunted factory issue had been resolved, and no one dared to come over.

"What? You solved the ghost in the haunted factory?" the staff member behind the counter asked in surprise, glancing every now and then at the strangely shaped... phone? elf floating beside Ye Feng?

But seeing that Ye Feng didn't seem inclined to explain, he didn't press further.

"Hmm... it's the Pokémon playing tricks." Ye Feng nodded after a few seconds of silence, then took out three Poké Balls—what's going on, do the association staff also believe in ghosts?

"Great, I'll send someone to confirm right away." The staff member took the Poké Ball, registered the Pokémon information inside, and then returned it—Pokémon captured without the association's authorization belong to the trainer's private property.

Although the number exceeded the usual three, Ye Feng, still a senior researcher, was not affected by this.

Ye Feng then went to the counter that offered the service of transporting Pokémon. In the absence of communication technology, the transportation of Pokémon could only rely on various flying Pokémon, much like express delivery.

Ye Feng kept one for himself, and sent the remaining three Rotoms back to the Little Sawtooth Research Institute, with Guo Pengfei as the recipient.

The Pokédex is finished. When will Afei develop communication technology as well? Ye Feng pondered.

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

After resolving Rotom's matter, Ye Feng stayed overnight and rushed to the location of the Frost Realm the next day.

Ye Feng took a plane, then a high-speed train, then a taxi, and finally rode a speed dog to find the entrance to the secret realm.

"I'm exhausted. I'll have to ask Xiaoxian to treat me properly when we get back," Ye Feng muttered to himself.

The Frost Realm is located in the northeastern corner of China, next to a wetland. The entrance to the realm is right on the border, almost leading into Russia.

Due to its unique geographical location and high level of danger, the Frost Realm is rarely visited, and its entrance is usually closed.

They found the guards and presented them with the passes provided by the association.

"You want to enter the Frost Realm?" The leader of the guards was named Wu Gang, a burly, angular, and tough man.

He looked Ye Feng up and down, seeing that he was thin and weak, and had a strange elf with him, and decisively shook his head: "No, even if you have a pass, I can't just let you in."

"Why?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

"Look at you, your thighs aren't even as thick as my arms. Going in with that build would be like sending meat to be thrown in," Wu Gang said, waving his arms and showing off his steel-like muscles.

"···"

Ye Feng looked down at his thighs and remained silent for a few seconds—I think it's because you're too muscular.

"No, the elves are in charge of the battle, not me. Even if my thighs aren't as thick as your arms, it won't make any difference."

"Hmm?" Wu Gang raised an eyebrow. "What you said isn't entirely unreasonable. Judging by your pass level, you're a high-level trainer?"

"···"

"What kind of pass did the teacher give me?" Ye Feng muttered to himself.

Because he was in a hurry and because the teacher had given it to him, Ye Feng didn't look at it carefully.

Although he believed he had the strength of a high-level trainer, he wasn't officially ranked, and procedurally speaking... the person who issued the pass wasn't abusing their power, right?

"Alright, let's have a fight and let me see your strength. If you win, I'll give you the key to open the entrance; otherwise, you'd better go back obediently," Wu Gang said.

"Alright then," Ye Feng reluctantly agreed.

The situation is a bit different for dungeons with a danger level of A or higher; some of them are under the management of local security forces. After all, it's unrealistic for the association to manage all of them.

If the person in charge deems a trainer's strength insufficient for entry, even a pass may not be granted permission to enter.

Of course, such a thing would not normally happen, but the main reason for the rejection this time was that Ye Feng looked too young, after all, he had just turned 18.

Fortunately, the Frost Realm is rarely visited for various reasons, and Wu Gang didn't think to check Ye Feng's Trainer ID at the moment. Otherwise, if he knew that Ye Feng was only a mid-level Trainer, he might have been arrested.

How could an intermediate trainer get a high-level pass? Tell me, did you steal it or cheat it?

Chapter 216 Let's Dance, Butterfly

"Hey, hey, hey, the battle is bullying the outsider trainer again."

"Tsk tsk, this time it's a little kid again. Hopefully, he won't run away crying."

"···"

The news that Ye Feng and Wu Gang were going to fight spread quickly throughout the camp.

Almost everyone was pessimistic about Ye Feng.

Look at this young man. Although he's not short, he's thin-armed and thin-legged. He's far inferior to Wu Gang and definitely can't beat him.

Ye Feng really wanted to say, "I'm 1.8 meters tall and weigh 70 kg. I might not be considered strong, but I'm not skinny either, am I?"

But after looking at Wugang and then at himself, he chose to remain silent.

People are different.

Upon arriving at the battle arena, it appeared to be a place where battles were frequently held; the grounds were dilapidated and showed no signs of repair.

Come to think of it, this place is on the border, far from the city, and for a group of grown men, playing against each other is probably their biggest form of entertainment.

It's normal that the venue is dilapidated.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are." Wu Gang cracked his neck and beckoned to Ye Feng.

Why does it look like he's going to get involved himself? Are there that many humanoid elves these days? Ye Feng couldn't help but complain.

Who should we send?

Ye Feng began to ponder.

"Then, go, Arcanine!" Ye Feng threw out Arcanine's Poké Ball.

Recently, it seems that the Growlithe hasn't appeared much, and the character with the most screen time is actually the mount. Ye Feng felt that they shouldn't be treated unfairly.

"Oh, Arcanine?" Wu Gang was slightly surprised.

Arcanine and Growlithe are mostly used as guard Pokémon. Although they can be found in the hands of trainers, their numbers are not large.

Moreover, judging from its dashing appearance, this Arcanine has been bred very well.

"Interesting. Go on, Butterfly!"

"Huh?" Ye Feng stared dumbfounded at the Butterfly on the field, which was flapping its wings and looked adorable.

No, bro, looking at all those muscles of yours, shouldn't you send out a Pokémon like Mega Mage or Iron Fist? Why Butterfree? This is totally out of character!

"Hmph, kid, do you look down on my Butterfly?" Wu Gang noticed Ye Feng's strange expression and asked with a sneer.

"Uh, no, it's just a bit of a surprise." Ye Feng scratched his cheek, barely managing to hide his strange expression.

There's no question of looking down on him. Since he's the camp leader's Pokémon, Ye Feng would never underestimate even a Caterpie.

"Hehe, another kid who's been fooled by appearances."

"If you underestimate the boss's Butterfly, you'll definitely get a beating."

There's not much to do at the camp except for training, so when they heard there was a battle going on, almost everyone came to watch.

"Come on," Wu Gang waved.

Ye Feng carefully observed the Butterfly for a while, but couldn't see anything special about it, so he could only secretly increase his vigilance.

"Spray flames!"

Arcanine opened its mouth, and a thick flame shot straight at Butterfree.

Faced with the fierce attack, Wu Gang remained unfazed and casually ordered, "Butterfly Dance!"

The Butterfly flapped its disproportionately large wings and danced in the air, making a light "wehihihi~~" sound.

As Butterfly danced and twisted, she effortlessly dodged the attack that spewed flames.

"They actually used the butterfly dance to dodge attacks?" Ye Feng was a little surprised.

When Pokémon use certain moves, their bodies will involuntarily perform certain movements. Experts believe that these movements are a way for Pokémon to guide the flow of energy.

For example, when Gyarados and Kingdra use Dragon Dance, their bodies will involuntarily make dance-like movements—however, perhaps due to the Pokémon's appearance, it doesn't look like dancing, but rather a bit comical.

On the contrary, the Butterfly in front of them not only had graceful butterfly dance movements, but the forced movements of the moves they used did not become weaknesses. Instead, they were used to dodge attacks, and the extent of their dodges was just right.

Interesting. Ye Feng licked his lips.

"Move at high speed and then move at lightning speed!" Ye Feng ordered.

Arcanine let out a long howl and charged toward Butterfree, its speed so great that it left a long trail of red afterimages behind it.

"That Arcanine is so fast!" Wugang was also taken aback, but he remained calm. "Let him see your beautiful dance moves, Butterfree!"

“Wehihihi~~” Butterfly made a pleasant cry as it danced in the air.

"Awooo!" Seemingly unable to bear Butterfree's cries, Arcanine roared and leaped into the air, charging towards Butterfree.

Just as the lightning speed was about to hit, Butterfree flapped its wings and its body shifted slightly to the side, narrowly avoiding Arcanine's attack.

"What?! Even the Swiftness skill dodged it?" Ye Feng was taken aback.
