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

"When you usually compete in the arena, it's one-on-one, which is clear and easy to command."

"But as the level and number of Pokémon increase, unless you have a super brain like Alakazam or Metagross, most trainers simply don't have enough time to grasp every change in the situation on the battlefield. In fact, the opponent's Pokémon may not even be targeting your Pokémon."

"Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate the Pokémon's ability to fight independently!"

Liu Yingying explained.

"Of course, it's too early for you. You should wait until your Pokémon reaches the professional level, or even the elite level, and accumulates enough combat experience before you actively try and adapt to it."

"Xiaomeng could start paying attention to these things. Moreover, compared to other types of Pokémon, Psychic-type Pokémon have an exceptionally high level of independent combat ability due to their higher average intelligence," Liu Yingying remarked, looking at the Espeon in Song Xiaomeng's arms.

Some elves are born intelligent, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Pokémon like Alakazam can even help trainers plan and train their Pokémon, and when fighting independently, they are even stronger than when a trainer is in command.

While Liu Yingying was explaining things to Mu Yun and Song Xiaomeng, the battle between the Thunder King Kong and Rada was also nearing its end.

With a lead in level, base stats, equipment, and terrain advantage, Rattata has absolutely no chance of winning against Rumble.

"Whoosh!!"

Just as Rada fell and Thunder King Kong went to check on him, the Sniper Tree Owl in the sky suddenly issued a warning.

Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on the grass at the feet of the Thunder King Kong, and a creature with a sharp steel blade on its head darted out—it was the Dragon Head Grub that had been lying in ambush underground.

Seeing that the tropical dragon was still flying in mid-air and Rattata had lost its fighting ability, he had no choice but to take a risk and try to take Rattata away.

Unfortunately, the Sniper Deviljho had been observing from mid-air. When it saw the Dragonhead Excadrill emerge, it immediately adjusted its posture, and Ghost-type energy quickly spread throughout its body.

Immediately afterwards, his body seemed to become ethereal and slowly disappeared.

It's the Ghost-type move – Phantom Assault!

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

[Sneak Attack: A Ghost-type physical attack move that allows the user to infiltrate a mysterious alternate dimension and attack while ignoring Protection.]

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

With the use of the stealth attack, the sniper tree owl disappeared instantly. When it reappeared, it had already descended from mid-air to the ground, its thick claws striking directly at the dragon-headed ground squirrel.

"Ronglu!!"

The dragon-headed excadrill, which had been focusing most of its attention on the gorilla and Radamanthys, was completely unprepared for the attack from the sniper tree owl in mid-air to come so quickly.

Caught off guard, he could only hastily reveal his metal claws to meet the attack.

boom! ! !

With his outstanding physical attack talent and the Metal Claw enhanced by his own attribute, he barely managed to withstand the surprise attack of the Sniper Tree Owl.

However, two fists can't fight four hands. On the other side, the Thunder King Kong quickly reacted and directly struck the tree stump drum in front of him while they were fighting.

Dozens of hard, wooden spikes shot out from the grassy field, attacking the dragon-headed ground squirrel from all directions.

It's a Grass-type move—Tree Thrust!

"Ronglu!!"

The wooden spikes weren't very powerful, but the dragon-headed ground squirrel, unable to break free, couldn't defend itself and could only watch helplessly as the wooden spikes locked it firmly to the ground.

"Whoosh!!"

Seeing this, the Sniper Tree Owl flapped its wings to create distance between itself and the Dragon Head Groundhog. With the flapping of its broad wings, streams of grass-type energy gathered in front of it.

Large swaths of green leaves, shimmering with a cold light, gathered before him, transforming into a terrifying storm under the powerful winds of his flapping wings.

This is the ultimate Grass-type move – Leaf Storm!

On the other side, freed from the sniper tree owl's entanglement, the dragon-headed gopher began to break off the wooden spikes that controlled it, but only after breaking off most of them, a powerful storm of flying leaves came rushing towards it!

"Ronglu!!"

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

"Such strong skills! Such perfect teamwork!"

On the back of the tropical dragon, Mu Yun, who witnessed the entire process, sighed inwardly.

Through his data-driven eye, he could tell that the dragon-headed ground squirrel was not low-level, reaching level 57. Coupled with its ability to burrow underground, under normal circumstances, even in a two-on-one situation, the Thunder King Kong and his companions wouldn't have gained the upper hand so quickly.

But with the perfect coordination of the Thunder King Kong and the Sniper Tree Owl, one in the air and one on the ground, one controlling and one attacking, the Dragon Head Gopher was completely controlled from the moment it appeared, utterly powerless to fight back.

It itself was basically undamaged, perfectly illustrating what it means for one plus one to be greater than two!

"The Lizard King has succeeded, let's go down."

Liu Yingying glanced at the electronic screen on her wristwatch and suddenly spoke.

That's right. Long before the battle even started, Liu Yingying had already sent out her strongest trump card—the Lizard King—to infiltrate the abandoned factory.

First, use your speed advantage to quickly control the opponent's trainer; second, use this opportunity to find the hiding place of the Pokémon egg.

It doesn't matter if the person runs away, as long as the Pokémon egg is there.

"Tropical Dragon, fly over there."

"Here you go!"

With its large wings flapping, the tropical dragon steadily carried the three of them down.

When they landed, the Dragon Head Groundhog, like Radamanthys, had its eyes turn into mosquito coils.

"So this is the Spirit Investigator...?"

Looking at the chaotic scene around him, and recalling the interrogation that Liu Yingying had taken for granted at the beginning, Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"What, you want to be an investigator too?"

Hearing Mu Yun's soft sigh, Liu Yingying turned around and asked with a smile.

Believe it or not, Mu Yun really does have the potential to be an Elf Investigator.

First of all, he is very smart. Generally, good students have good memories and can learn various interrogation, tracking, investigation and counter-investigation techniques very quickly.

Secondly, he was also very decisive. When faced with a situation where he was outnumbered, he would decisively kill the enemy without hesitation or indecisiveness, which greatly increased his survival rate.

Finally, with her as a senior figure protecting me, even if I'm just following along with thugs in the early stages, I can quickly become a full-fledged member. When we go on missions together, I'll be able to eat well every meal!

"I was just making a casual remark..."

Mu Yun waved his hand and explained.

But before he could finish speaking, an electronic notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

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

[Ding! Detected that the host has triggered a permanent task. The task has been loaded; please check it yourself!]

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

What the hell?

What kind of task will this trigger?

Mu Yun was taken aback.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Liu Yingying assumed he had just mentioned it casually and didn't pay any attention. She then directed the Thunder King Kong to tie up Rada and Dragon Head Groundhog.

Seeing this, Mu Yun didn't say anything more, but calmly opened the task panel.

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

[Permanent Mission 7 - The Goal is to Become the Strongest Investigator I: This world harbors too much darkness and evil. How can you, with your heart full of light and justice, tolerate the existence of such filth and depravity? Strive on, young man, to become the world's strongest investigator and deliver an absolute blow to all the darkness in the world!]

【………】

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

No, buddy, I was just saying it casually, and Sister Yingying just mentioned it casually. Why did you take it seriously?

Before, when I had Kodakyu, you made me a master of all types and a master of Bug type. After I had Namikaze, you made me a master of Normal type and Flying type.

Now you've made me the world's strongest investigator!

This means that once you start learning a field, you must become an expert in it!

Why would I choose to be a seasoned training master or a research doctor instead of a detective who braves wind and rain and faces numerous crises?

Oh well, permanent missions have no time limit and no penalty anyway. If the rewards aren't good, I'll just leave them alone.

After mentally complaining for a while, Mu Yun continued reading.
