It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

This is why Pokémon follow their trainers.

If a trainer is not strong enough to make their Pokémon stronger, the Pokémon will leave the trainer.

Qin Ming's words came from the bottom of his heart. He had lived two lives. Although the world in his previous life was equally beautiful, there were no elves.

People born into this world are born with spirits and have never experienced a world without spirits.

Perhaps it is this difference that makes Qin Ming's passion for elves deeper than anyone else's.

"..."

Perhaps sensing Qin Ming's sincerity, the Ugly Fish in the basin silently rolled over to acknowledge his sincerity.

Qin Ming's lips curled up slightly as he sensed that the faint bond between him and Ugly Fish had deepened.

Welcome to our team!

Qin Ming teased the ugly fish in the water with his hand.

"..."

Ugly Fish moved its eyes in response to Qin Ming, but with so much white in its eyes, it looked like it was rolling its eyes.

"Leo~!!"

Like Qin Ming, Riolu next to him also put its hand into the water and gently touched the pufferfish as a way of saying hello.

"..."

When Feebas saw Riolu, who had knocked it unconscious, it wasn't so friendly and rolled its eyes properly this time.

Qin Ming watched Riolu teasing Feebas and an idea popped into his head: "Hmm... how about giving Feebas a nickname..."

Giving nicknames is to distinguish the elves, and at the same time, it can shorten the distance between the two.

"Feebas will evolve into Milotic, and since it's female, how about we call it Mei?"

"It doesn't feel right. If someone is called Xiaomei, it seems like there will always be a pairing with someone called Xiaoshuai."

"Your name is Xiao Na? Xiao Si?"

"It doesn't feel that great."

As he was pondering, Qin Ming saw the ugly fish in the basin roll its eyes, which were full of whites, once again, and blurted out, "Ugly fish, since you love rolling your eyes so much, how about we call you Little White!"

"Ugly Fish, what do you think?"

"..."

The ugly fish in the water silently rolled its eyes.

"Alright, as long as you don't object!"

Qin Ming happily said, "From now on, I'll call you Xiaobai."

……

……

The next morning, Qin Ming packed his things and left Lake of Dreams with Riolu and Feebas.

Uglyfish are extremely rare creatures, and Qin Ming understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Of course, the fishermen at Dream Lake wouldn't have any bad intentions.

However, if staying at Dream Lake leads to word getting out and attracting people with ulterior motives, that would not be a good thing.

The White Cloud Secret Realm was among the first secret realms to be discovered, and its development level is very high. Furthermore, communication networks have long been established, allowing it to maintain excellent contact with the outside world.

No matter what, the secret realm is still a relatively closed and wild place.

It's best to be careful in your actions.

Secondly, after activating the system's second fishing reward and catching the Ugly Fish, Qin Ming only had one goal left to complete.

That is to train Riolu.

The environment of Lake Dream is clearly unsuitable for Riolu's training.

The real purpose of training is to delve into hidden realms to find suitable opponents for battle.

Qin Ming and Riolu, each carrying a large and a small bag, left Dream Lake and headed north towards the secret realm. After a day of walking, both the human and the elf were exhausted.

Looking at the time again, it was already afternoon, and the sky was beginning to darken.

"Doggy, there's a sheltered spot up ahead. Let's rest there."

"Leo~!!"

Riolu let out a joyful shout and then cleaned up the ground.

"I'll cook, Go gather some firewood, Dog."

"Leo~!!"

Leo gathered the firewood, Qin Ming lit a fire, added water from the water bag to the pot, then added the drained vegetables and millet, and a pot of quick vegetable porridge was ready.

Vegetable porridge paired with some dried meat makes for a simple dinner.

Living conditions in the secret realm are not as good as outside, so we'll just have to make do with what we have.

"Doggy, here are your favorite peaches and some sweet energy cubes,"

Qin Ming took out the food he had prepared for the elves: "And this is a nutritional supplement for Little White."

No one should starve an elf. As the saying goes, three parts training and seven parts nutrition are essential for elves to train well.

While eating lunch, Qin Ming checked the radar bracelet on his wrist.

When entering the secret realm, you can choose whether or not to equip a radar bracelet.

The radar bracelet can pinpoint the wearer's location. If the wearer encounters danger in the wild, they can use the radar bracelet to call for help, and the rescue team can accurately locate the person in distress.

At the same time, the radar bracelet can also be used for positioning.

Using a radar bracelet to confirm his location, Qin Ming compared his position on a map.

"We still have a day's journey to our destination."

"It should arrive before tomorrow afternoon."

Qin Ming chose to go to a mountainous area, which he would use as a training ground for Riolu.

……

……

Chapter 13, the outcome of the first battle is crucial for the elves.

The outcome of the first battle between the elves is very important.

A victory in the first battle can boost a Pokémon's confidence.

A defeat in the first battle could severely damage an elf's confidence, and might even plant a seed of fear of battle in the elf's heart.

Even as they grow up, they will become afraid to face it.

Besides the outcome of the first match, there is another very important point.

That is the choice of the opponent.

To secure victory in the first battle, we could simply seek out those weak, silk-spinning caterpillars.

But that would be pointless, because the opponent is too weak to boost Riolu's confidence.

Only by defeating equally matched opponents can one effectively boost their confidence.

Taking these two points into account, Qin Ming chose Geodude, a Rock/Ground type, as Riolu's first opponent.

Riolu, a Fighting-type Pokémon, can deal significant damage to Geodude using Fighting moves. Geodude is also quite strong, and winning against it can boost Riolu's confidence.

That's why Qin Ming used the mountainous area in the White Cloud Secret Realm as a training ground for Riolu.

After dinner, Qin Ming ground the white vanilla into powder as usual: "Doggy, here you go."

"Leo~!!"

Riolu took the water brewed with white herbs from Qin Ming and drank it all in one gulp.

The white vanilla enters the body, clearing away the last blockages in Riolu's body.

The perceptive Qin Ming noticed that Riolu's spirit seemed to have changed slightly, so he quickly activated his Eye of Detection to check on its condition.
