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

After watching motionless for several minutes, Liekongzuo finally closed his dragon eyes again and fell asleep once more.

Chapter 20, What kind of elf is this, with such a bad temper?

Time flies like an arrow; Qin Ming has been in the Baiyun Mountain Secret Realm for a full month now.

After catching Feebas from Lake of Dreams, Qin Ming would take Riolu to these mountains every day to find Rock-type Pokémon like Geodude and Rockruff for training.

After a month of intensive training, Qin Ming's fair face became quite tanned. No matter how much he shaved in the secret realm, his beard was impossible to shave cleanly. Wearing clothes that were constantly soaked with sweat and then dried in the sun, the handsome young man turned into a "sharp-faced guy".

However, Qin Ming didn't care about his terrible appearance.

His attention was focused on the battle in front of him.

"Leo~!!"

"Fist!!"

Qin Ming is directing Riolu and a Geodude in a battle.

"Dog, now's the time!!"

"Use Lightning Strike followed by a Cross Slash to crush your opponent!!"

As Qin Ming gave the order, Riolu's body crackled with electricity and shot forward like an arrow, using its hand as a knife to smash down heavily on the small Geodude that had rolled into a stone ball.

boom! !

Geodude was sent flying like a bowling ball, fell to the ground with a wail, and then its eyes darted around, losing all fighting ability.

At the same time, a notification sounded in Qin Ming's mind indicating that he had gained experience.

[Hint: You, Riolu, have defeated Geodude and gained 100 experience points.]

[Hint: Riolu's level has been increased to Lv.19]

"Finally reached level 19!"

Qin Ming focused his gaze on the elf that had been with him for a long time, and at the same time activated his Eye of Exploration to check its data.

[Elf: Riolu]

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Fighting]

【Characteristic: Mental Strength (Possesses a trained mind that does not flinch in the face of an opponent's attacks, nor waver in the face of intimidation.)

[Level: 19 (Ordinary Beginner)]

[Potential: King]

[Items to carry: none]

[Skills: Lightning Strike, Hold On, Feint, Metal Claw, Self-Suggestion, Double Payback]

[Inherited Skill: Cross Chop]

[Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Attack (31), Special Defense (28), Speed ​​(31)]

[Note: This is a loyal, trustworthy, and promising Pokémon.]

……

Compared to a month ago, Riolu has now begun to show its potential, with comprehensive improvements in physical fitness, energy levels, and overall spirit.

I successfully leveled up to level 19, and as a result, I learned an additional skill.

[Self-Motivation: Motivate yourself to increase your attack and special attack.]

Qin Ming placed the last piece of refined iron next to Geodude and gave Riolu a high five: "Congratulations, you've gotten stronger again."

"Leo~!!"

Riolu waved his arms, feeling the subtle changes within his body, a smile spreading across his face.

The Riolu race's pursuit of becoming stronger is almost ingrained in their genes.

"Alright, it's about time to head back to Guangzhou."

Qin Ming calculated the food he had brought: "The dried vegetables and millet are almost used up, and the tree fruits and energy cubes are also almost gone. It should last us until we return to Yangcheng."

"Anyway, fighting these little stones is no longer difficult, and the experience gained is relatively small, so there's no need to stay here any longer."

"The only regret is that we didn't explore any deeper into the area."

In order to play it safe, Qin Ming has not taken Riolu alone to venture deep into the region these days. Instead, he has chosen a more cautious approach, only sparring with small boxers within a radius of about two kilometers to accumulate experience.

I looked up at the sky. It was only nine in the morning. I had only been training for two hours. It was too early to go back to the temporary camp.

Qin Ming remembered that Riolu had mentioned wanting to explore the area north of the camp, but he hadn't agreed at the time to play it safe. Thinking of this, he spoke up: "Dog, didn't you say you wanted to go for a stroll in the north?"

"Since we're almost back anyway, why don't we go take a look over there?"

"Leo~!!"

"Leo~!!"

Riolu nodded repeatedly, the faint aura within him telling him that there was an aura of the same origin to the north.

After a quick packing, Qin Ming took Riolu and set off: "Let's go."

The environment in the secret realm is very complex. It may be an arid desert with a lake full of water and grass next to it, or a forest with tall trees, or a low grassland.

Because the secret realm is the main place where elves live, they will subtly transform the surrounding environment into a place they like.

Just like grass-type Pokémon, their gathering makes the surrounding soil fertile, and the carbon dioxide they release is beneficial to the growth of trees. Even if the original area was a grassland, it will slowly change as grass-type Pokémon gather.

Of course, if certain elves in this secret realm are relatively powerful, then the environment in this realm will most likely be one that the powerful race prefers.

Just like the entrance to the Flaming Mountain Secret Realm in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, the entire environment there is known for its high temperature. Apart from fire-type, rock-type, and ground-type Pokémon that are resistant to fire and heat, it is very difficult to see water-type Pokémon that are averse to high temperatures.

Qin Ming and Leo walked along the mountainside. After passing a hillside, they saw low shrubs growing in the area ahead, and a clear path led to a meadow.

"Monkey~!!!"

"Monkey~!!!"

"Monkey~!!!"

As Qin Ming and Riolu were walking forward, they heard a lively shout. Judging from the unified shouts, it must have been a group of elves of the same species living together.

After crossing a hillside, Qin Ming saw the group of elves that had made the noise.

These elves were covered in pale yellow fur, with brown tips on their limbs.

It has a pink, pig-like nose and triangular eyes.

His hands and feet are divided into three fingers, and his long, flexible tail is also brown at the end.

These Pokémon are Fighting-type Mankeys.

Eight monkey monsters were gathered together. Five of them were lying on the ground fast asleep, while the other three were chattering away, seemingly talking about something.

Qin Ming focused his gaze on a large monkey monster, examining its specific data.

[Elf: Monkey King (Leader)]

Chapter 21, List of the Most Unpopular Pokémon in the Wild

Monkey monsters are tree-dwelling spirits.

The monkey monster has a fierce personality and gets angry easily, even over the smallest things.

For example, being too far away from friends can cause feelings of loneliness and anger.
