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

After leaving the Songjiang Dojo, Mu Yun quickly left the Songjiang city area.

After leaving the city, Mu Yun released the rented goat mount.

The nearly 1.9-meter-tall mountain goat has a wide back covered with fluffy hair that resembles clumps of grass, making it feel like a soft cushion when you sit on it.

Given its dominant class, its speed is not much inferior to that of a car on the highway.

Of course, Mu Yun wasn't in a hurry to travel, so he didn't have his mount, the goat, speed up too much.

The main problem is that the forest isn't like a highway, so you can't pick up speed.

His route for this trip was to start from Songjiang City, travel south through Liaoning Province, follow the river to Beihe Province, and finally circle around the capital to reach Changshi City.

Along the way, aside from needing to enter the city to challenge the gym, he didn't plan to linger in the city for too long.

Instead, they planned to explore the wilderness more.

Firstly, the sheer number of wild Pokémon makes it ideal for leveling up.

Secondly, he also planned to expand the number of Pokémon in the Pokémon Space to prepare for Master-level quests that specialize in a single attribute.

Although he can't provide all the resources that Xiaodu provides in terms of nurturing, he certainly won't neglect the basic nurturing resources that are necessary.

If you come across a cat that catches your eye, such as Little Goldfish, Erli, or Frog, you can put more effort into raising it.

But no matter what, being with him at least greatly increases safety, and I no longer have to worry about food and drink.

For most ordinary wild Pokémon who struggle to make ends meet, this is already a very happy life.

Moreover, if you follow him, as long as you are willing to work hard, your potential and strength will experience a qualitative leap.

The fate of future generations will also be drastically different.

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

The outskirts of Songjiang City.

Mid-June is the perfect time of year with pleasant temperatures.

Compared to the time when Pokémon were almost nowhere to be seen during field training, the outskirts of Matsue City are now filled with traces of Pokémon activity.

Especially those areas far from the city center, taking detours along highways, and venturing into the wilderness between cities.

More and more elves appeared in Mu Yun's eyes.

From the most common Rattata, Caterpie, and Weedle, to the slightly less common Pidgey, Spearow, and Digger Bunny.

Their presence is almost ubiquitous in the forest.

"Xiao Yan, want to practice your skills?"

Listening to the rustling sounds in the woods, as if something was moving through the bushes, Mu Yun asked Xiao Yan in his arms.

Since hatching, Xiao Yan has been learning and training with Xiao Du.

I'm no stranger to fighting.

Upon hearing Mu Yun's words, flames blazed in his eyes, and his fighting spirit almost burst forth from his body.

"suck!!"

(Men, let's fight!!)

"You're really energetic. I'll leave the rest to you then."

Mu Yun patted his goat mount, which was walking at a leisurely pace, signaling it to stop.

Then, he took out a Poké Ball from his waist.

Awesome!

A figure clad in bright silver armor suddenly appeared in the forest.

"Da Dan, you stay here and keep watch. If there are any signs of fire, put it out immediately."

Although June in Evergreen Province is not a dry autumn, with Xiao Yan's strength, igniting the forest is no problem at all.

Just in case, we should take precautions.

He doesn't want to be some kind of prison king.

"Xiao Yan, there are five in total, I'm leaving them all to you."

Mu Yun sensed the figures that seemed to be sneaking around and trying to ambush them from the perspective of the waveguide, and spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rustling figures around him fell silent.

He seemed not to have expected to be discovered.

"Hey, stubborn!!"

After a moment of silence, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bushes.

The next second, five gray-brown figures darted out from the bushes.

They were not tall, only a little over a meter, but they were all plump and strong, and had a pair of thick ears that looked like arms.

It's a typical Ground-type dual-type Pokémon—Digbub!

Three of the veteran Digging Rabbits charged towards Xiao Yan, who was standing at the front, while the other two rushed out from behind Mu Yun.

One lunged at Dadan, while the other, the largest and highest-ranking one, which was at least professional-level, went straight for Muyun.

Despite their decisiveness and speed, everything was exposed under Mu Yun's almost complete vision of the entire map through his waveguide power.

"Wild elves are really fierce."

As the professional-grade Digger Rabbit with fierce eyes and huge ears glowing white attacked, Mu Yun sighed inwardly.

Although he had encountered wild Diggers when he and Wang He were on missions before, those Diggers only secretly stole crops and attacked Pokémon when they faced humans, not the trainers themselves.

But these burrowing rabbits are different.

The division of labor is very clear: lower-level creatures are responsible for blocking elves, while higher-level creatures are responsible for ambushing humans.

Judging from this action, it's clearly not the first time.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they managed to dodge it, they would inevitably get injured if caught off guard, and their luggage and belongings would most likely be lost.

Unfortunately, this time the Digging Rabbit's target is Mu Yun.

Upon seeing the approaching burrowing rabbit, he calmly raised his hand, his five fingers coming together in a fist.

The middle finger is slightly bent, and then flicked out.

boom! !

To the disbelief of its mount, the goat, the burly burrowing rabbit was sent flying like a delicate glass marble.

This caused the goat mount, which was just about to make its move, to pause in surprise.

No, is the guy sitting on my back really human?

"It's a pity we missed out on two experience packs."

Mu Yun lowered his hand, glanced at the Digging Rabbit whose life or death was unknown after crashing into a large tree, and then at the Digging Rabbit that had been slapped to the ground by Da Dan and whose eyes had turned into mosquito coils. He muttered to himself.

"However, three is enough..."

Mu Yun looked at Tan Xiaoshi, whose longsword was burning with flames.

At this moment, his body was engulfed in crimson flames as he slashed down one by one the digging rabbits, each several times his size, with his sword.

"We've taken another step closer to evolution."

Looking at Xiao Yan, whose level had reached the senior level, Mu Yun smiled slightly.

It's a pity that Xiao Yan wasn't a Ghost-type Pokémon before evolving; otherwise, with the power of the Ghostly Path, leveling up would have been a piece of cake.

However, in the wild where there are plenty of wild Pokémon, the leveling speed is probably not slow.

It's possible that they evolved before even entering Northern Hebei Province.

"Let's go, let's keep going."
