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

"God, use your telekinesis to remove the elven treasure from the heads of the three digletts!" Song Xiaomeng ordered.

To be honest, having a Pokémon with psychic abilities is really convenient, adding a lot of convenience to both battles and daily life.

For example, it could conjure an invisible giant hand to help carry various things.

The problem is that Psychic-type Pokémon eggs are extremely difficult to buy. Many small breeding centers don't carry them at all; only large breeding centers in provincial capitals might sell them.

And even then, you have to book in advance.

Or, we could talk to Sister Xiaomeng about letting Little Sun or Miss Goth lay an egg.

Although Mu Yun prefers Gardevoir, Gallade, Alakazam, and Metagross, there are still options available.

Miss Goth: You don't like me? Here's a tickle!

Just as Mu Yun was lost in thought, Song Xiaomeng had already taken the brownish-yellow elven treasure from Miss Goth.

"Xiaoyun, look! It's an Elf Treasure! We've hit the jackpot!" Song Xiaomeng happily ran to Muyun's side with the Dongdi Rock in her hand.

In a proper Pokémon battle, there are no loot items, but in these unofficial, field battles, things are different.

Unless a sheriff or investigator is brought in, they can only hope for the best.

"Xiaoyun, quickly put this away!"

Song Xiaomeng held Mu Yun's hand and placed the brownish-yellow cave rock into his palm: "I'm a trainer specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon, so I don't need other types of treasures. Keep it and try to raise an incredibly strong Ground-type Pokémon!"

"Um!"

Mu Yun didn't say anything polite. During their conversation at the supermarket, he understood his importance in Xiaomeng's heart, and he also knew how much Xiaomeng meant to him.

Their relationship is closer than that of relatives; it's just a magical treasure, there's no need for them to pretend to give it to each other.

Moreover, he really needs the Elf Treasure during his early development stage.

Whether you sell them for money or exchange them for energy points to upgrade your skill level.

As for Xiaomeng's care, we can find an opportunity to feed her some special energy cubes. Once she becomes stronger, we can find her some psychic-type Pokémon with higher potential!

Seeing that Mu Yun accepted it readily, Song Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her lips became even more relaxed.

Unlike her, Mu Yun was alone and helpless, but he possessed a magical treasure that would make his initial journey much easier.

As for her?

She has found the treasure she wanted most!

"God, keep going, open another Poké Ball! This guy has both different Pokémon and Pokémon Treasures, maybe we'll get something else later!" Song Xiaomeng said expectantly.

"Indeed." Mu Yun nodded, looking expectantly at the few unopened Poké Balls.

"Heh heh heh!"

As Miss Gothic used her psychic powers again, another Poké Ball opened.

Just as Mu Yun had seen on the wanted poster before, this time it was a creature with huge claws, a back covered with brownish-brown spikes, and a shape that resembled a combination of a hedgehog and a pangolin—the Pangolin King!

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

[Pokémon: Sandslash]

Gender: Male

[Attribute: Ground]

[Level: 49 (Elite)]

【Characteristic: Sand Cloak (In a sandstorm, the user's reaction speed and movement speed are increased)】

[Moves: Mud Throw, Claw, Spherical, Poison Needle, Sand Slide, Roll, Combo Slash, High-Speed ​​Spin, Stomp, Tear Claw, High-Speed ​​Star, Wild Claw, Quicksand Abyss, Cleave, Dig, Gyro Ball]

【Items to bring: None】

[Potential: Elite]

[Racial stats: 450]

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

Like Alolan Dugtrio, Sandslash also reached level 49, which is the peak of Elite rank, and its move pool is also very rich.

Unfortunately, Sandslash did not carry any magical treasures.

In terms of combat, Sandslash is clearly more of a primary fighter than Alola Dugtrio.

I have no idea what this guy was thinking.

Surely it can't be that Alolan Diglett is better at digging burrows...

Thinking about the description of how groundhogs always burrow underground and are difficult to catch, Mu Yun wondered to himself with some skepticism.

With the help of Nutbell and Gothic, Sandslash quickly followed in the footsteps of the Alola Diglett and was eventually taken down by Namikaze's Air Blade.

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

[Ding! Bobo (17) defeated Sandslash (49). Permanent Mission 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be higher than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward has been doubled! You have received 20 points!]

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

[Ding! Target detected as short-term mission 3: An Eye for an Eye. Bonus points: 245!]

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

After Sandslash fell, Miss Gothic opened the other two Poké Balls.

One is a level 46 Sand Snail Python with a very unique appearance, and the other is a level 44 Heavy Mud Horse.

A total of 490 points were earned.

There are four Pokémon in total that have the potential to be elite-level and whose strength is also at the elite level.

Overall, this guy called "Groundhog" is a standard two-star professional-grade Ground-type Pokémon.

This setup seems to prioritize running away over battling: four Ground-type Pokémon, three of which are proficient in digging, and one with extremely high stamina, excelling at long-distance running.

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

[Ding! Short-term mission 3 - An eye for an eye has been completed. Detecting the number of attackers defeated by the host.........]

[Ding! Detection complete. Host has successfully defeated 7 people, defeating all attackers. Total points earned for this mission have been doubled!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained an extra 2690 points!]

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

As the last heavy mud-drawn horse collapsed, the system's electronic notification sounded in Mu Yun's mind.

It's unclear whether it was because Mu Yun successfully allowed Bo Feng to land the final blow that defeated all of Diglett's Pokémon, but according to the system's assessment, it was Mu Yun who successfully defeated all the attackers.

This caused Mu Yun's points to skyrocket.

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

Points: 1806 → 7546

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

With over 7,000 points, I could easily exchange them for a beginner-level Elf Treasure!

It's worth mentioning that damaged treasures can also be redeemed in the points redemption shop, and they are much cheaper than complete treasures.

For example, a broken worm silk that can be used six times only costs 600 points, while a broken hard shell that was just harvested in the Orange Fruit Cup costs 900 points.

The pricing standard is basically the same as the energy points exchanged for damaged treasures, meaning it can be converted at a 1:1 ratio without loss.

The energy points that could be exchanged for the newly acquired basic Ground-type Pokémon treasure, Cave Rock, were immediately displayed the moment Mu Yun touched it.

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

[Ding! Detected that the host has come into contact with a materialized spirit treasure—Cave Rock (Beginner). Would you like to exchange it for 12000 energy points?]

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

A full twelve thousand points—this enormous amount of points is enough to raise any of Mu Yun's skills from LV0 to LV4, turning a complete novice into a true expert in a certain field!

Looking at it this way, it's clear that only Pokémon are suited to hard work and perseverance; for him, a trainer, it's faster to level up by spending money!

"Xiaoyun, we've knocked out all of this person's spirits. What should we do next? Should we contact the police?" Song Xiaomeng asked.

"No need. I remember this person. I saw him on the wanted poster before. He's a fugitive. I'll call Liu Jianhao's sister in a bit and leave this to her," Mu Yun said.

If he remembers correctly, the person who helps catch the mole will receive a reward of 35 Alliance Coins.

This is a considerable sum for both him and Song Xiaomeng.

"Senior Sister Liu? That makes sense. She's an Elf Investigator; these kinds of things are under their jurisdiction." Song Xiaomeng nodded.

Afterwards, Mu Yun instructed Xiao Du to use his silk-spitting technique to tie up the ground rat, the big-faced guy, and the other six people. Then he dialed Liu Yingying's number.

After briefly describing the process, Liu Yingying said she would be there soon.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to go to jail!!"

"Please, please let me go! I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again!!"

Freed from the constraints of telekinesis, the round-faced man wore a mournful expression, sobbing uncontrollably.

She was just bound by telekinesis and couldn't make a sound, but her ears and eyes were still fine, so she naturally witnessed the whole process of Nut Dumbbell beating up her own lover Pokémon.

Now she is filled with fear and regret. If she had known the other party was so difficult, she would have just accepted her fate.

Now things have gotten even worse; the other party even knows the elven investigator, and her generous mistress is a wanted criminal. She's completely finished.

The college diploma that I finally managed to get into will probably be expelled, and I might even have my trainer certificate revoked, lose my right to own Pokémon, or even face imprisonment.

"Kid, I admit defeat this time. Let me go now, and I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, even if I go in, my brother won't let you off the hook!" Freed from the restraints of his telekinesis, the groundhog said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

"My brother's a member of the Heavenly Dragon Society. If he finds out I've been sent to jail, you're in big trouble!"
