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

However, after research and experimentation, Ye Feng discovered that it was not indestructible, but rather that it used materials similar to those in Gu Yangzhou's private combat room, making it virtually impossible to destroy without an attack from a master-level expert.

You should know that the current ceiling for trainers' strength is only Master level, no, to be precise, it's near Legend level. Master Wang's Blastoise has broken through the Master level by using Mega Evolution.

In a world where master-level targets aren't everywhere, it's not unreasonable to say this target is indestructible; that would be an exaggeration.

However, this target has now been completely destroyed by the combined attack of Arcanine and Gyarados.

Arcanine and Gyarados have reached an incredibly precise level of control over energy.

First, use Dragon Dance to accelerate the rotation of the vortex, then use Flame Vortex to rotate along with the vortex, and finally use the conflict between water and fire to trigger a violent explosion.

Depending on the direction of rotation of the flame vortex, different effects can be achieved—if the two moves rotate in the same direction, the explosion range of the water and fire vortex can be greatly expanded, becoming a super-large-scale AOE attack.

If the rotation direction is different, the power of the explosion can be concentrated in a smaller area, maximizing the damage.

This combination move, due to the strength of Gyarados and Arcanine and their mastery of energy, has reached master-level power when used at full strength.

However, it also has considerable limitations. First of all, it consumes a lot of the Pokémon's stamina. After all, Gyarados needs to stay out of the range of Whirlpool to maintain the existence of the move, and Arcanine needs to control the Flame Vortex to rotate around Whirlpool and prevent the two moves from exploding prematurely.

Secondly, if the spirit's control over energy is insufficient, it will explode prematurely the moment it uses the flame vortex and tidal vortex, thus injuring itself. This is similar to the first point.

Third, it requires two Pokémon to use together, which means that this combination move can only be used in team battles or in wild dungeons; moreover, if the Pokémon does not know Dragon Dance, the power of this combination move will be further reduced.

"Have you memorized everything, Rotom?" Ye Feng summarized the advantages and disadvantages of the Water and Fire Vortex, looking at the Rotom Pokédex beside him.

“I’ve got it, Rotom!” Rotom saluted.

"Yes, we have all the data we need. After some reorganization, it'll be ready to be published." Ye Feng nodded.

Ye Feng hasn't had much to do lately.

There has been no news from Guyangzhou regarding the translation of the ancient power scroll;

The Life Gems have all been absorbed, and the elves' strength has reached another bottleneck. Without any special resources in the short term, it will be difficult to make any significant breakthroughs.

Ye Feng then began to focus on the techniques.

The water-fire vortex is one of them.

After letting Arcanine and Gyarados rest, Ye Feng opened his tablet and started browsing the association forum.

After browsing for a while, he didn't find anything interesting, but one post caught his attention.

This is a post about an auction.

A group of trainers formed an adventurer team and explored a large S-rank secret realm. After suffering some casualties, they brought out many precious and rare resources and planned to hold an auction in Shanghai.

Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

With the Life Gem as a precedent, ordinary resources, or even high-level resources, no longer offer much improvement to Ye Feng's elves. He has been troubled by this for a long time.

The energy cubes have almost no function anymore; they're only left for replenishing energy and filling your stomach.

Unexpectedly, there was an auction for S-level secret realm resources.

It's important to know that S-class secret realms are currently the most dangerous secret realms besides forbidden areas, and they are also large-scale. As for forbidden areas, they are simply not places for humans to go.

As the danger level increases, the resources contained within also become exceptionally precious and rare.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, even the most basic resources found there are enough to be placed in the advanced section of the resource library for trainers to exchange.

The fact that they held an auction specifically for this purpose suggests that they may have found something that could be considered a master-level resource.

Ye Feng quickly checked the time; it was tomorrow.

Ye Feng decisively booked a flight to Shanghai, then called out to the others and took Elf back to the dormitory to pack their things.

Chapter 282 Pre-auction Period

Ye Feng rushed to Shanghai overnight.

I originally wanted to go find Zhang Qiang to see how his Charizard was doing, but unfortunately he went home and I didn't see him.

After spending one night at the hotel, Ye Feng arrived at the auction venue.

Entry to the auction is simple: you either need to reach the level of an advanced trainer or complete an asset verification process.

Ye Feng showed his Trainer ID, and after being verified as a high-level Trainer, he entered the auction venue after passing through several strict security checks.

The venue is divided into two parts: an exhibition area and an auction area.

The exhibition area is very simple. It just lists the resources that the adventure team found that are not worth auctioning, puts them there at a reasonable price, and anyone who is interested can trade and take them away directly.

The auction area is where auctions are held, and these are for extremely rare resources that are not easily obtained.

The formal auction wouldn't start until the afternoon, so Ye Feng casually strolled around the exhibition area.

【Stone of Unchange】

This item, when carried by a Pokémon, can prevent it from evolving. Price: *****

The Unchanging Stone? Ye Feng stroked his chin.

This item is used to prevent Pokémon from evolving, and it can also be used to inherit the personality of their parents in the game, making it a very useful item.

In reality, it doesn't have much use. Evolution of a Pokémon can increase its growth potential and is the most important way to improve its strength.

As for inherited personality, it doesn't really mean much. As I've mentioned before, the deviations in a Pokémon's stats caused by its personality can be compensated for through training.

Ye Feng shook his head and walked over to another prop to look at it.

Purification Charm

It carries an aura that spirits dislike; carrying it in the wild can reduce the chance of encountering wild spirits. Price: *****.

This is actually a fairly useful item, as it can reduce the difficulty of wilderness training for some new trainers.

···

Iron-walled Mushroom

Consuming this will harden the elf's muscles, increase physical strength, and enhance defense. Price: *****.

"What is this?" Ye Feng scratched his cheek, he'd never seen anything like it before.

However, it is said that it can improve physical strength and enhance defense... Ye Feng thought about it for a moment and decided to buy it for Bossco Doraemon to eat.

Ye Feng spent the whole morning touring the exhibition area and bought quite a few things, mostly items that are not commonly found in the resource library and can directly enhance the Pokémon's physical attributes.

After lunch, the official auction will take place in the afternoon.

Ye Feng arrived at the auction area immediately. There were quite a few people there today, and if he arrived late, there would be no seats left.

Having secured a reasonably good seat near the front, Ye Feng sat down and casually began flipping through the auction catalog.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a master-level resource up for auction this time!" The person sitting next to Ye Feng chatted with his companion.

"What kind of master-level resources are you talking about?" his companion asked curiously.

"One of them is something called the Heart Drop."

"Any functions?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. All I know is that this item can boost the power of Psychic and Dragon-type moves, and it can slowly increase the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon. This is the first time I've seen an item like this."

Heart Drop? Upon hearing this name, Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly flipped through the auction catalog in his hand and, sure enough, found an auction item inside: Heart Drop.

The heart-shaped droplet in the picture is a fist-sized sphere that emits a wondrous light and contains specks of mysterious starlight, accompanied by some simple descriptions.

However, this description only covers the effects that the two people just mentioned and does not mention anything else.

Others may not know, but Ye Feng knows very well.

The Heart Droplet might also be usable by other spirits in reality.

However, in the game, it is actually an exclusive item for Latios and Latias, which can increase the power of Psychic and Dragon-type moves when carried.

Furthermore, Steven, the Hoenn region champion and a rock fanatic (scratch that), once mentioned that the Heart Drop is the crystallization of the souls of Latios and Latias.

In the theatrical anime film "Latios and Latios: Guardians of the Water City", the Heart Drop once appeared as the core of a city's defense system, containing the energy to control the entire city, block roads, control water flow, and even trigger tsunamis.

Perhaps we can use this tool to build a powerful defense system?

More importantly, in this movie, the Heart Drop directly revives Aerodactyl and Kabuto, possessing the power to revive fossil Pokémon!

Meanwhile, as the crystallization of Latios and Latias's souls, the Heart Drop must contain abundant soul power. Could it be related to the methods of training soul power in the ancient powers?

Furthermore, this item is definitely related to the two legendary Pokémon, and may be used to communicate with them.

Although Ye Feng has connections with the World Tree and doesn't need to worry too much about communicating with the legendary spirits, in case they are controlled by the Shadow Spirits, the Heart Drop might be the key item to awaken them!

Ye Feng secretly planned to bid for the Heart Drop later.

As for money... not to mention the unlimited credit card Ye Hongsheng gave him, just considering the numerous rewards the association has given him, the amount on Ye Feng's own card is already an astronomical figure. He has long since lost all concept of money.

Having made up his mind, Ye Feng continued to flip through the auction catalog, looking for any other items he recognized that were related to the legendary elves.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed there, and the prop surprised him so much that he almost threw the auction booklet away.

The Mysterious Golden Ring

The golden ring possesses mysterious power and contains superhuman energy comparable to that of a master, but its current purpose is unknown.

Ye Feng swallowed hard, staring intently at the circle in the picture, almost pressing his face against the paper.

"This thing... could it be the Ring of Super Demon God Hoopa?" Ye Feng pinched his thigh hard, and the pain made him gasp—the air conditioning in the venue was set very low, and the gasp made him feel a chill run down his spine.
