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

"Ding-! Dear Trainer Wang He, congratulations on successfully completing mission number: 22202508260061. The required items have been successfully submitted. The staff of the Songjiang City Trainer Association will complete the confirmation as soon as possible. Please wait patiently."

"The review results will be sent to your mobile phone via SMS within one business day."

"Finally, we wish you all the best in your life. The entire Songjiang City Trainers Association looks forward to your next visit!"

Inside the Trainers Association, after Wang He submitted ten light green Poké Balls, a slightly feminine electronic voice sounded on the screen again.

"Let's go. After the review is complete, the reward will be directly deposited into my card. Once that inferior treasure is sold, I'll give it to you as well," Wang He said.

Mu Yun naturally had no objection to this.

Even if Wang He didn't give him a single penny, Mu Yun wouldn't have any problem. What's more, Wang He gave him everything without keeping a single penny for himself.

To be honest, having reached this level, Mu Yun felt that this was no longer a simple teacher-student relationship, but more like a master-disciple relationship.

After all, normal teachers wouldn't sacrifice their holidays to help students wholeheartedly, without taking a penny of the money they earn, and even receive a substantial subsidy before the task begins. They might even leave their main Pokémon behind when they're busy.

After leaving the Trainers Association, Wang He and Mu Yun rode back onto Corviknight's back.

Firstly, the Corviknight is of a high level, very fast, and has abundant stamina. Even when traveling to towns nearly 100 kilometers away, it will not be exhausted.

Secondly, there's the issue of safety.

Most human bodies are quite fragile, so in the wild, there is nothing safer to travel than riding a bicycle.

The sprite's reaction speed increases as its level increases. Outside of the city, you never know when danger will strike, so riding a mount sprite provides close protection and significantly improves safety.

It would be even better if the Pokémon also had moves like Guardian or Wide Guard.

"Remember to train one or two mount spirits in the future, preferably one that can travel on land and one that can travel in the air," Wang He told Mu Yun on the way.

"Your Pidgey is pretty good. Once it reaches Pidgeot form, its speed will probably be much faster. However, its defensive capabilities are a bit lacking. You could train another land mount with a stronger defensive focus as a supplement."

"Of course, these are just suggestions based on my experience. Sometimes, the choices of elves need to be realistic; being too stubborn is not good."

As they talked, Mu Yun soon saw a large field of corn, lush green with hints of gold, come into view.

August and September are the corn harvest season in Northeast China.

Because of its many uses—it can be used as food, as an industrial raw material, and the remaining straw can be used as animal feed—large, well-planned cornfields can be seen everywhere outside the city.

However, what should have been a vibrant cornfield, ready for harvest, showed signs of damage on the edge, as Muyun, still in the sky, could see.

It seems that this was done by the target of this mission.

Upon reaching its destination, the Steelraven flapped its wings, preparing to slowly float down to the ground.

However, as soon as he landed, strange noises came from the cornfield.

Soon, a creature about a meter tall, with mostly reddish-brown skin and dark yellow stripes, darted out of the cornfield.

It was one of the Pokémon Mu Yun had seen in the abandoned factory earlier—a Sentinel Rat! (Picture in Chapter 115)

"What?!"

Before the scout ratman arrived, his voice preceded his arrival, his imposing presence seemingly designed to overwhelm the enemy.

However, when he burst out of the cornfield and saw the tall, imposing, and piercingly cold-eyed Armored Raven, his voice abruptly stopped.

Their sharp eyes froze for a moment, clearly startled.

Mu Yun subconsciously opened the Eye of Data and glanced at the Sentinel Rat's data.

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

Mu Yun only glanced at the level, characteristics, and potential, and didn't pay much attention to them.

Only the item list made his gaze linger for a few more seconds.

At first, he thought this guy was a corn thief, but now it seems that he was probably used by the villagers as a lookout.

"What?!"

Just as Mu Yun was observing the Sentinel Rat, the Sentinel Rat also snapped out of its daze from the cold, condescending gaze of the Steel-Armored Raven.

Then, the sentry rat suddenly bristled, its fur standing on end. Before Wang He and Mu Yun could speak, it snapped the alarm on its hand.

A piercing, dripping sound exploded all around.

Within minutes, Mu Yun heard rustling sounds around him, indicating that other elves were heading this way.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yun frowned and subconsciously placed his hand on the waist pack with Poké Balls attached to it.

However, Wang He was even faster than him.

He remained expressionless and casually tossed out a Poké Ball.

Awesome!

"roar!!"

A massive figure, several meters long and as large as a small mountain, appeared on the empty ground.

It was one of Wang He's mainstays—Steel Snake!

Its massive size, deafening roar, and steel body gleaming coldly in the sunlight made even the piercing alarms around it seem somewhat powerless.

The rustling sound around them stopped for a moment, and although it resumed afterward, Mu Yun could clearly hear that they were moving much slower.

Mu Yun estimated that if it were a wild Pokémon, it would probably have scattered long ago when faced with Steelix.

Even the house-elves, upon seeing the massive Steelix coiled up like a small mountain, dared not make a move and could only stand a short distance away and keep a close watch.

Wang He showed no intention of taking action. Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, he remained silent and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, a hurried shout came.

"Wait, wait!"

The person who shouted was a dark-skinned, simple-looking man in his forties. His trouser legs were covered in dust, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat, indicating that he had been running very fast.

"Sentinel Rat, come back quickly and tell them to leave! These aren't crop-stealing sprites; they've come to help us!" The man shouted to the sentinel rat first, then quickly walked to Wang He's side.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry! My elf has been a bit stressed lately because of the thieves, and I'm sorry to have disturbed you both!"

The man apologized, looking embarrassed.

"It's nothing. Are you Mr. Zhao who issued the mission?" Wang He asked.

"Yes, yes, my name is Zhao Xianfeng. I am the son of the village chief of Zhao Family Village. I am in charge of the safety of the village's crops. But this time the thieves are too cunning. I had no choice but to apply to the Trainers Association." Zhao Xianfeng explained with a bitter face.

Wang He nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

He had already obtained the specific information from the Trainers Association.

Zhao Family Village mainly grows grain and is not wealthy to begin with. If they were not forced to, they would never have spent money to ask the Trainers Association for help.

This is why the reward for this task is so low, only 1 Alliance Coins.
