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

"Fighting for territory, huh...?"

Riverside, in the shadows of the woods.

Mu Yun listened to the chaotic argument between the two tribes and soon figured out the reason.

The higher-ranking blue toads appear to be a group that migrated from a lake deep in the forest.

The Mosquito Coil Clan is the native race that occupies this river area.

For some reason, the Blue Toad clan took a liking to this place and wanted the Mosquito Coil clan to move away.

This is a common territorial dispute phenomenon in nature.

But why would the blue toad choose to come here instead of staying at a lake deep in the forest with a better natural environment?

Could there be a problem with the lake?

Wow!!!

Just as Mu Yun was deep in thought, a beam of bright moonlight suddenly descended from the sky.

The once calm water now reflects a magnificent and dazzling brilliance under the moonlight.

"Um?"

The amazing scene left Mu Yun stunned.

But the next second, he understood.

A perfectly round, dull pebble that had just been embedded in the stone bed at the bottom of the river suddenly floated up from the riverbed under the moonlight, as if defying gravity.

Under the intense gaze of the blue toad and the solemn watchful eyes of the mosquito coil man, the pebble moved to a position about ten centimeters above the river surface.

The brilliant moonlight seemed to have found its target at this moment. The originally scattered moonlight was all reflected through the water and gathered on the pebbles.

Through continuous compression and condensation, it eventually forms a milky white water droplet.

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

【Moonlight Purification Stone (Special): Legend has it that the Wan Shui Purification Stone, used to purify the water sources of the world, was broken into scattered particles in the chaos. One of the particles accidentally obtained the divine power of the moonlight. After absorbing enough moonlight, it can condense into a drop of Moonlight Dew (requires 720 hours of natural moonlight absorption).

Moonlight Dew: The essence of pure moonlight. Consuming it can slightly improve energy quality. If a Water or Fairy-type Pokémon consumes it while carrying a Pokémon treasure of its type, the treasure can be converted into energy to power the Pokémon, significantly increasing its growth level.

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

"Moonlight purifies the stone, moonlight shines on the dew..."

Looking at the pebble that shone with a bright white jade light, and the moonlight dew that clung to it like water droplets, Mu Yun was slightly surprised.

Not only was I amazed by the effects of this special treasure, but I was also surprised that I had gained so much just from a trip.

He clearly remembered that his luck was only at an average level.

Thinking about it, Mu Yun subconsciously brought up the host panel.

[Host: Mu Yun]

【属性：体质：70、精神：59、魅力：8、幸运：1（+2）[点击查看详情]】

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

"Where did this 'plus two' come from?"

Mu Yun clicked the button next to the Luck attribute with some confusion.

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

[Luck +2: Blessed by the good fortune of the Goat, the mount of the Lover. As a Grass-type spirit, it is possible to overcome difficulties and obstacles for the sake of its beloved and successfully conceive several little Fire Horses to expand its clan. It is truly a hard-won achievement. Fate has taken pity on it. Those who accompany it have a chance to be blessed with good fortune.]

Note: The extra luck buff granted by a non-host spirit can only be triggered once.

"???"

What a fiery soul who rose from the ashes for love!

This guy is amazing, he even managed to take down a Flamingo.

Mu Yun only knew that the goat mount was the companion of Ma Sitong's father, an elf, but she didn't say who it was, and Mu Yun didn't ask.

Surprisingly, this guy was looking for a Flaming Horse!

They had quite a few children.

Awesome!

Although the reproduction between elves is not the same as the mating of ordinary creatures, the fact that they can reach base with opposite attributes is still somewhat incredible.

It's like how, theoretically, a hog and a rattata could produce elves, but witnessing their union firsthand would still be quite a spectacle.

However, even among elves, there are still possibilities. How did the supreme Jabba, who dared to explore the Great Garden, manage to do it?

As Mu Yun's thoughts raced, the atmosphere between the two opposing tribes in the river became even more tense.

The Blue Toads originally just wanted to find a nearby habitat to stay for a while, and then return home once the intruder in the center of the lake left.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected bonus!

The Blue Toad Chieftain surveyed the several Mosquito Coils in front of him.

Treasures belong to the capable. Although he didn't know what this thing was for, after seeing that drop of moonlight dew, he had a faint desire to eat it.

In that case, he's even more determined to take over this place!

Thinking of this, the blue toad grinned and immediately shouted.

"So tempting! So tempting!!"

(Let's get started!!)

"Yo-bo yo-bo!!"

(Protect the sacred relic!!)

In an instant, the two groups of elves, who were already on the verge of war, erupted like gangs fighting in the street, with jets of water, mud, and acid flying everywhere.

The fight was extremely intense and fierce.

Even the unevolved mosquito coil tadpoles and round tadpoles have fierce eyes and are ready to kill.

If you have energy, use your skills. If you don't have energy but have stamina, just swim over and use your tail to swat. Even if you're exhausted, just get close to the enemy and bite them.

Before long, the once clear river became murky.

Only the area around the jade-like round stone—the Moonstone—was unusually calm, as if all the spirits were intentionally avoiding it.

Even Mu Yun, who was used to battles and had even seen Elite Four and Champion-level Pokémon, fell silent in response to this scene.

It's not because of their fighting ability.

In a battle of this magnitude, any one of the main Pokémon from Mu Yun's team would be instantly killed.

What truly silenced him was the ruthlessness that both sides displayed during the battle, a ruthlessness that came from their very bones.

The sheer ferocity and relentless fighting spirit they displayed truly surprised him, a child who had grown up in civilized society in both his past and present lives.

This kind of battle is completely different from ordinary elf battles. There is no sense of competition, no courtesy or peace. Once the fight starts, it's all about killing.

In the few minutes he remained silent, many low-level round tadpoles and mosquito coil tadpoles had their eyes turn into mosquito coils, but because the battle was too intense, no one paid any attention to them.

The better ones quietly sink to the bottom of the river and wait for the battle to end.

In worse cases, they die on the spot.

"Frog, come out."

In the silence, Mu Yun summoned the frog, who had just finished eating and drinking and was preparing to rest for a while, from the spirit space.

A plump elf with adorable, innocent eyes and fists resembling boxing gloves blinked at Mu Yun.

It's a frog that just evolved from a mosquito coil tadpole to a mosquito coil man a few days ago.

"Yobo?"

(Hey mobile phone, what's wrong?)

Mu Yun is the leader of the bosses, so they all call him Big Brother.

Since following Mu Yun, although he has to train hard every day, the feeling of having no worries about food and drink and becoming stronger through hard work makes him very happy.

At least, it's much more comfortable than competing for food with other elves in the Black River.

Mu Yun didn't say much, but simply pointed to the two groups of elves still fighting not far away.

The frog was puzzled, but it still turned its head and looked over.

In a river filthy with reddish-brown liquid, two blue toads were pinning down four mosquito coils.

Around them floated tadpoles and mosquito coil tadpoles, their fates unknown.

This scene made the frog, who had been feeling so happy lately that he had almost forgotten about life in the wild, pause for a moment.

His innocent, bewildered expression instantly turned serious.

A rare glint of anger rose in his dark eyes!
