Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Cough cough, is this a Bobo?"

Caught off guard, the bald man, caught in the gust of wind, had no time to react before being blown away by a strong gust of wind.

Fortunately, he was in good physical condition and was otherwise unharmed, except for a slight dizziness from the fall.

But the other five underlings weren't so lucky.

Broken arms and legs are minor matters; the worst off was that brainless underling, whose body was hanging straight up in the tree, his anus and bird eggs pierced by a sharp branch, the bright red blood spreading everywhere, he had long since fainted from the pain.

"Whoa whoa whoa!!"

The big-billed finches seemed a bit angry, and after stabilizing themselves in mid-air, they let out a few annoyed cries.

How dare a mere Pidgey act so arrogantly in front of his Pidgeot? Does it really think it's a Pidgeot?

"Big-beaked bird, peck at that kid!!" Seeing his underling's miserable state, and feeling the excruciating pain of his own bones breaking, the bald man disregarded everything else and immediately gave the order.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king." He didn't believe that a Pidgey plus a Beedrill could stop him, a professional-level Finch!

Upon hearing this, the big-mouthed sparrow, who was about to attack Namikaze, paused, glared at Namikaze, and then turned its gaze to Mu Yun.

If it weren't for the trainer's order, he would have loved to swallow that Pidgey whole!

But there's no rush. He'll deal with that kid first, then he can properly deal with that Bobo!

However, just as the big-beaked sparrow was lost in thought, Mu Yun's voice rang out again.

"Little Du, poison needle!"

"Hiss!!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun's command, Xiao Du immediately mobilized his internal energy, and countless fine, deep purple poison needles instantly condensed in his mouth.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

A faint whooshing sound echoed through the forest.

With the Poison Needle upgraded to +1, and its built-in 150% flight speed boost, the fine poison needles flew towards the Great Sparrow in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that the big-beaked sparrow didn't even have time to make any move and could only watch helplessly as the poisoned needle pierced his body.

With the 200% solidification effect, Xiao Du's poison needles are thinner and smaller, but also sharper. Even with a difference of more than ten levels, the poison needles can still easily pierce the feathers and skin of the big-billed sparrow and penetrate most of it.

"Whoa whoa whoa!!"

The pain from the tiny poison needles is so low that the large-billed finches can hardly feel it.

He'd seen poison-type Pokémon before, but a mere Poison Needle...

"oh!!!"

(it hurts!!)

In the bald man's incredulous and horrified gaze, the big-beaked bird was like a blank sheet of paper stained with ink, with large patches of dark purple spreading indiscriminately from its chest outwards.

As the disease spread, large areas of the big-billed finches' brown feathers began to fall off, and their bare skin appeared to have shrunk significantly, becoming dry and wrinkled.

The excruciating pain caused the big-billed bird to lose control of its body. It frantically flapped its wings, repeatedly crashing against the thick, large tree, trying to alleviate the pain of the toxin's corrosive effects with another kind of suffering.

However, all of this was in vain.

In less than a minute, the big-billed finch became a featherless bird, its skin as dry and shriveled as if dehydrated.

With a thud, he fell limply to the ground, his eyes turning into mosquito coils.

This means the world's protection mechanism for elves has been triggered.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the attack stops at this time, the sprite will usually be fine.

But toxins are not the superficial injuries like burns, freezing, or paralysis.

Toxins that penetrate deep into the skin are not like an army that can be ordered to obey orders. They are like a crazed bandit who has finally managed to enter a city during a chaotic period. They don't care about anything else, only wanting to cause crazy destruction.

To Mu Yun's somewhat surprised gaze, the big-beaked sparrow, which had been in a mosquito coil-like eye state, suddenly twitched unnaturally, and its mosquito coil-like eyes instantly returned to normal white eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot from the intense pain.

Even after its protective mechanisms were breached by the toxin, the terrifying toxin that spread throughout its body continued to corrode the giant sparrow's body.

In just three minutes, his twitching body suddenly stopped, his neck tilted to the side, and he became still.

At this point, the area in his chest that had been poisoned the longest had lost all flesh and blood, and you could even see the sternum corroded with holes of various sizes.

"Glug!!"

The bald man stared blankly at the scene, his face ashen, cold sweat pouring down his back, and his legs buckled, causing him to fall to the ground, completely losing his previous imposing manner.

Is that a Beedrill?

When did Poison-type Pokémon become so terrifying?

Even though the sludge in the sewers was highly toxic, it only caused the big-billed finches to lose a few feathers; a timely application of an antidote was all it took!

The bald man didn't understand, and was so terrified that his mind went blank, his pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Even a professional-level Pokémon can't withstand it...."

Looking at the corpse of the giant sparrow, Mu Yun frowned slightly.

Although he had tried his best to maximize the power of the poison needles after the poison's nature changed, the effect was still somewhat beyond Mu Yun's expectations.

From the moment the poisoned needle pierces the body of the giant tortoise to the moment all its feathers fall out, its skin turns purple, and it loses its fighting ability, only a minute passes.

Once the Pokémon's protective mechanisms are breached, it only takes three minutes for it to die completely.

And the main attribute of Xiao Du, who has accomplished all of this, is not even poison!

If it were replaced with a Poison-type Pokémon like Devourer, Toxicroak, or Centipede King, the effect would probably be even more exaggerated.

My previous caution was indeed correct.

This kind of toxin is far more potent than that of ordinary Poison-type Pokémon.

When ordinary Poison-type Pokémon are competing, the only thing to do is to treat them promptly after the match. But if it's a Pokémon like Little Lone, then you need to consider where to cremate its body afterward.

I just don't know what to use to counteract this kind of qualitatively changed toxin, or a higher-level antidote?

While Mu Yun was pondering, Xiao Du and Bo Feng did not stop their actions. Following their previous instructions, they continued to attack the other elves.

Namikaze used his air blades to shoot the still-unconscious Pokémon, and Sotoku did the same; whoever he hit with his double needles fell down.

Compared to pure poison needles, dual needles, although also containing toxins, cause significantly less damage.

At least those unlucky ones who were poisoned, until the last Pokémon fell, only had their protective mechanisms broken by the poison, but they were still alive for a while, and if they were treated in time, they should be able to survive.

A series of system notifications rang in Mu Yun's mind.

In less than half an hour, he had earned a total of 2030 points.

More than all the points he had left!

The only problem is that short-term mission 3, tit for tat, has not yet been completed.

..............................

[Mission Requirements: Defeat the attackers (6/7).]

..............................

Mu Yun glanced at the task panel and found that he was still missing one.

But after carefully observing his surroundings, he determined that there were only six people.

"Xiaoyun, come here for a moment!"

Just as Mu Yun was considering whether to interrogate the bald man and his companions, Song Xiaomeng's voice came from a distance.

Mu Yun then noticed that Song Xiaomeng, who had been behind him, had taken the Sun Elf and Miss Gothic to a slightly farther place.

"Xiao Du, use the insect silk to tie those people up, and tie up the Pokémon that aren't poisoned too. You don't need to worry about the rest." Mu Yun casually gave an instruction, and then walked towards Song Xiaomeng with the Nut Dumbbell.

Soon, Song Xiaomeng's figure came into Mu Yun's view. Beside her was the elegant Gothic lady with her hands folded in front of her, and the Sun Elf with a ruby ​​shining on her forehead.

This is how she mobilizes her energy to unleash a psychic-type move.

She controlled a man and a woman with her superpowers.

The woman was none other than the generous sponsor of this mission—the woman with the round face.

The man was thin with beady eyes. He looked somewhat familiar, but Mu Yun couldn't quite place him.

At their feet were several shrunken Poké Balls.

Clearly, Song Xiaomeng had detected their presence before they made a move and had them completely under control.
