Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Is this the forbidden area?"

"So quiet, so desolate!"

Ye Rou looked around curiously. Like Chi Hong, this was her first time entering the forbidden area.

"Um...."

"The aura isn't very strong, but it should be enough to take the four of you dead!"

"It's alright, just fight like a madman, I'll protect you!"

The leader nodded and said, his face still shrouded in thick black mist, obscuring his features.

"Let's explore it first."

After finishing speaking, Sunset took out a demon mask and stuck it on his face.

Shen Yuzhi also took out a black mask that only covered the lower half of her face and put it on.

Chi Hong was taken aback. Was he supposed to do something private in the forbidden area?

Seeing that the others were all wearing masks, Ye Rou also took out a cartoon rabbit mask; otherwise, he would look very unprofessional...

So he took out a mask...

For some reason, Chi Hong suddenly felt a little ashamed; he seemed to have lowered his own standards...

"Brother, don't you have a mask?"

"You seem to be a loner."

Ye Rou stared intently at Chi Hong with her rabbit-like face and asked.

"You little brat, you talk too much!" Chi Hong's eyes showed embarrassment as he angrily scolded the assassin, Little Rabbit.

"Here, take this, bro!"

Ye Rou reached into her small handbag, fiddled around for a bit, and pulled out a cartoon beady-eyed mask, which she handed to Chi Hong.

"......."

"Thanks."

Chi Hong glanced at it; the mask looked like something out of a morphomon...

"Want some bubble gum?" Ye Rou asked again.

"I'm not eating this time." Chi Hong felt he was truly out of options...

"I'll eat it."

The leader extended his hand to Ye Rou.

Everyone:........

A baseball cap is a must, so Chi Hong put on a beady-eyed mask and a baseball cap.

"Chi Hong..."

"Use your job title when you're at work!"

Shen Yuzhi had just opened her mouth to call him when Chi Hong sternly corrected her!

"oh..."

"Crimson, the three of us actually know each other a little bit. I'm a regular combat-type Beastmaster."

"Ye Rou..."

"Use your title!!" Ye Rou interrupted Shen Yuzhi again, mimicking her.

"Alright, alright, address me by my title..."

"No, what kind of job title are these? They're code names!"

Shen Yuzhi was speechless.

"Pre-emptive communication was helpful, but it's too late now. Get ready to act, boys!"

After the leader finished speaking, he was pulled into nothingness by a hand that appeared from the void behind him, and he disappeared.

"What's going on?" Chi Hong didn't dare to be careless as Lucario appeared from the pet space.

"It's alright, the leader is still nearby. The ground... shook!"

"Just so you know, I haven't teamed up with anyone before. My pet skills have a wide range, so don't get hurt!"

Sunset leaped backward, raised its hands high, and then slammed them to the ground, revealing a giant locust. This locust had strong, powerful legs, folded wings, and no compound eyes like those of insects on its face, only a ferocious, enormous mouth.

Destroyer - Locust: Level 100.

Attributes: Insect, Ground.

Characteristic: Biological Turret, its skill power increases if its position remains unchanged.

"Level 100?"

"As expected, they are something that college students simply cannot compare to..."

Chi Hong glanced at Lucario, his competitive spirit rising, and tossed Lucario four more magical candies. Lucario caught them and, without hesitation, swallowed them all in one gulp, even if they were a bit too sweet.

In this way, Lucario's level reached 100.

Based on the situation with Tyranitar and Staraptor, if Chi Hong allows Lucario to Mega Evolve, then Lucario's rank will change to "A".

The barren ground cracked open, and a giant worm crawled out. The worm was so huge that just seeing its upper body made Chi Hong want to take out his magic wand, although of course he didn't have one.

Tyrannical, Red Earth Worm: Level 100.

Attributes: Ground, Insect.

Characteristic: Tyranny.

"Completely different from the secret realm, are we facing level 100 tyrannical pets right from the start?" Chi Hong took a step back and glanced at Ye Rou and Shen Yuzhi.

Standing next to Ye Rou was a rabbit pet that was only about ten centimeters shorter than the leader, Lucario.

The rabbit has very long ears that almost touch the ground. It wears a small shawl, crosses its arms, and has a nonchalant expression.

Moon King Fighting Rabbit: Level 100.

Attributes: Fighting, Spatial.

Trait: Berserker, amplifies the effects of Fighting-type moves.

"As expected, she's a space combat rabbit. It matches her codename and mask, making her very recognizable. However, her [attributes] don't seem to fit Ye Rou's description."

"What Moon Overlord, what Berserker and all that..."

"This doesn't quite match Ye Rou's foolish behavior!"

In an instant, Chi Hong made a rough estimate in his mind. On the other side, Shen Yuzhi summoned his pet beast, but when he summoned it, the Red Earth Worm had already launched an attack!

From its enormous mouth, filled with countless sharp teeth, the worm spewed out a yellowish-brown, mud-like slurry!

That's right, in Shen Yuzhi's eyes this thing is just shit!

"Save... damn it, forget it, Lucario, let's get out of the way!"

Chi Hong felt nauseous; if that stuff got on him, it would feel like poop even if it wasn't!

Lucario moved with incredible speed, instantly teleporting Chi Hong to another location.

The Sky Rabbit leaped up and delivered a swift downward chop, splitting the yellowish-brown mud in the middle and shooting it to both sides. The locust's legs firmly planted themselves on the ground, and it let out a shriek, the violent sound waves blocking the mud halfway through its path.

"Skin this thing alive!!" Shen Yuzhi's face was contorted with rage; he was genuinely furious. His crisp, clean suit was now stained with a patch of yellowish-brown excrement...

Beside him stood a humanoid pet, its body covered in matte black scales, with a mask-like body structure on its face. Its body was streamlined and looked to be in good shape, almost as tall as Lucario.

Darkscale Guardian: Level 100.

Attributes: Steel, Dark.

Characteristics: When the mask is off, defense is increased; when the mask is on, perception of the surroundings is increased, but defense is decreased.

A sharp, explosive sound rang out, and several more enormous red earthworms emerged from the ground!

"Three?!"

"This is going to be fun!"

"Crimson, we'll each take one, and Little Rabbit and Sunset will each take one. Are you in?"

Shen Yuzhi shouted at Chi Hong, a ferocious pet beast, who seemed completely unaffected by the pressure; this was invincible even among college students...

Chi Hong had already thoroughly examined the Red Earth Worm's base stats. Judging by its base stats alone, it was just an ordinary roadside worm. However, given its level and its tyrannical nature, encountering even one would be a life-or-death battle for most beast tamers!

The assassin organization's top talent, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary beast tamers!

Chi Hong ignored him and prepared to deal with the one that had been spewing excrement at the beginning. Just as he was about to make his move, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a huge creature moved forward at great speed, quickly reaching the vicinity of the Red Earth Worm.

This is a huge, dark red scorpion. Its sharp tail pierces a red earthworm, and then it raises its pincers and hisses towards the sky.
