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

"That's enough for today. You've worked hard, goat mount. Take a rest."

Nighttime, in the countryside.

Looking at the bright moon hanging on the branch, Mu Yun patted his mountain goat mount, which had been traveling all day.

In the past few days, he has also witnessed the jumping ability of his goat mount.

It's hard to say whether there are large mountain streams or rivers, because I haven't encountered any yet.

But he could easily cross the distance of just a few dozen meters by bending his knees; he didn't even need a running start.

No wonder it's called a mount; it's definitely got some skills.

"Meow~~"

The goat on its mount nodded, looked around, and naturally came to an open space suitable for camping.

Strangely enough, he felt that he and this human boy were quite compatible. These days, they traveled every day and had almost no rest time except for battles, but strangely, their physical strength was not greatly depleted.

He could only attribute this to the fact that the two of them might have a compatible aura, so they didn't feel tired when doing things.

If he had met him a few decades earlier, he might have followed him.

Mu Yun: This is the power of horsemanship, not a perfect match~~

"This is a really good spot. I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve!"

Looking at the open space in front of him, Mu Yun glanced at his mountain goat mount with considerable surprise.

Unexpectedly, besides its amazing jumping ability, the goat mount also has this ability.

This place is close to a water source, yet maintains a sufficient distance. It has a large open space with very little weeds, making it suitable for both starting a fire and setting up a tent.

"Come out, Doku, Namikaze, Hyo-hyo, Shin-chan..."

After choosing a campsite, Mu Yun opened all the Poké Balls at his waist.

Because he doesn't use public transportation, he can carry several Poké Balls on his waist.

Almost instantly, the once empty campsite became lively.

"Meow~~"

Seeing the nine elves, some big, some small, some tall, some short, the mountain goat couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although it wasn't the first time they had met, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Mu Yun.

Is it because he hasn't worked for many years that he's fallen behind the times?

How come a boy has so many elves around him?

The goat didn't understand, but as a rented mount, he didn't want to investigate.

As a professional, not actively seeking out employer information is the primary principle!

Although he is an elf, theoretically he doesn't need to follow this rule.

After all, humans can't understand the language of elves.

"Same as usual, I'll go get the water. You guys chop wood, set up the tents. Xiao Du, you're in charge of keeping an eye on things, especially Xiao Xin."

Mu Yun said.

Although he has a personal spirit space that allows him to return to the villa anytime, anywhere.

Firstly, the temperature is nice now, suitable for camping.

Secondly, he can also use this opportunity to hone his wilderness survival skills.

After all, he can return to the Elf Space by himself now, but what about in the future?

There will always be inconvenient times.

It's always a good thing to practice now.

"Hiss!"

(OK!)

Xiao Du nodded, and then his bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Xin, who was trying to sneak away.

Due to physical limitations, there aren't many people who can pitch a tent.

Among them, Shin-chan is the most suitable.

Therefore, she did almost all the work of setting up and taking down the tents.

"Lots and lots~~"

(It's okay, Shin-chan, take your time, I'll help you~~)

Xiao Tie stepped forward to comfort him.

Shin-chan glanced at Tetsuya, who couldn't even stand upright, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed.

Okay, let's get to work.

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

"Um?"

On the other side, Mu Yun, who had come to the riverbank to fetch water, was suddenly attracted by the scene in the river.

Under the sparse moonlight, dozens of elves were facing off in the not-so-wide river.

That's right, a whole dozens!

They stood on opposite sides of the river, like two armies facing off.

Near Muyun's side were a group of short-legged, pale blue mosquito coil tadpoles.

The leader was a top-tier, veteran-level mosquito coil.

Beside him were three other mosquito coil-like creatures, each possessing the strength of a seasoned mid-to-late game expert.

On the other side, confronting them, was a group of baby-faced, handless, legless creatures with large, round tails—the round tadpoles.

The leader was a male blue toad that had reached level 35.

Beside him was a level 29 female blue toad.

"What's going on here? A river battle? A contest to become the king of the rivers?"

Mu Yun quietly put down the bucket and watched the two groups of elves facing off with great interest.

During his journey, he encountered many wild elves.

Some were like the Digging Rabbit we encountered on the first day—full of malice, ready to attack on sight.

Some are exceptionally cautious; upon sensing human presence from afar, they begin to distance themselves or hide.

Some elves, like Caterpie, simply stayed quietly in place, completely unconcerned.

Even when Mu Yun reached out and touched them, they continued eating and drinking as usual, completely unconcerned.

But the current situation is different from what Mu Yun encountered before.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a large-scale brawl between what appeared to be wild elves.

Just then, one of the mosquito coils looked seriously at the blue toad and shouted.

"Yo-bo yo-bo!!"

(Outsiders, leave our territory!)

"So tempting! So tempting!!"

(The weak are not qualified to negotiate. Let your leader come out and talk to me!)

The leading male blue toad replied with a disdainful expression.
