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

Inside the command center of the 13th Military Region.

"How long do you think these children can hold out?"

Tong Jing looked at Xue Ming beside her and asked.

"At most twenty-four hours."

Xue Ming said it almost subconsciously.

He had personally trained most of the special forces members, and he had also gotten to know these students from Heijiang University through their interactions over the past few days.

If it were a formal competition on a battlefield, geniuses like Liu Hesheng and Ling Ruijie might still have a chance of winning.

However, if it is in the wild, or in a forest where there are many places to hide, then the outcome is already predictable.

As for how long it will take, that's purely a matter of luck.

But no matter how long it takes, a day is enough for the special forces to find them.

unless......

Suddenly, images of Venusaur lying on its back and Sakura being knocked unconscious by a punch flashed through Xue Ming's mind.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Except for Mu Yun and Chi Duoduo."

Tong Jing: That's reasonable and justified.

Tong Jing even felt that unless he took action himself, there was probably no one in the military region who could take down Mu Yun.

Gym-level Pokémon probably won't be very effective.

After all, Mu Yun's skills were too good.

He's quick-witted, strong, and has great stamina. If you gave him a long weapon, he could probably easily take on a Gym Leader-level Pokémon.

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

Bai'an Mountain Forest.

The protagonist, Mu Yun, whom Tong Jing and Xue Ming were admiring, was walking aimlessly through the forest with a tactical backpack on his back.

After walking for more than an hour, Mu Yun hadn't seen a single person.

Of course, "not seeing" refers to the naked eye.

From the waveguide's perspective, Mu Yun clearly noticed that the special forces members were intentionally moving away from him.

If he hadn't just fought all those special forces members a few days ago and wasn't still in the challenge cooldown period, he would have gone straight there now.

"There are still more than thirty hours left, what should I do...?"

Mu Yun walked and thought.

He had already fought the special forces members responsible for the attack, so fighting them again wouldn't help and would only delay the other students' assessments.

As for attacking classmates?

Mu Yun wasn't actually that heartless.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun compared the directions and headed further north.

With nothing else to do, I thought I'd take a look at the border.

Under normal circumstances, people are not allowed to approach areas under the jurisdiction of military regions.

But it's currently the assessment period, and there are no location restrictions, so it's a good time to go and take a look.

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

The border between the Ice Luo Alliance and the Flame Emperor Alliance.

The demarcation of borders between countries has always been a highly controversial issue.

Therefore, in order to clearly demarcate the border between the two countries, a continuous stretch of specially made metal mesh is erected as a marker.

The metal mesh is very strong, but it can only restrict ordinary people and low-level Pokémon. If a high-level Pokémon attacks, it can still break through it easily.

Therefore, border patrol teams were created.

Border patrol teams are subordinate to military regions along the border.

Military Region 13, where Mu Yun is stationed, also has border patrol teams.

Compared to the special forces teams stationed in the military region, the border patrol teams have a much tougher life.

Not only do they have to patrol every day, but they only get to rotate patrols once a month. Even when they do rotate patrols, they can only go back to the military region to rest.

As for the time he can spend on vacation and going home, that's even rarer.

Anping is a member of the border patrol team of the 13th Military Region.

As a child, he joined the army at a young age because his family was poor. In order to earn more money, he volunteered to serve in the most arduous and tiring border military region and joined the most demanding border patrol team.

He did it for twenty years.

"Captain An, my wife is due to give birth in a couple of days. After the shift ends tomorrow, I'd like to ask for leave to go back and see her."

On the border patrol route, a dark-skinned, somewhat simple-minded young man spoke.

"Wow, Lao Niu, you're a dad at such a young age. That's great. I'm still single. No way, I'll have to get you drunk next time we drink."

A young man standing next to the old ox said with a smile.

Old Niu just chuckled and agreed repeatedly.

Anping looked at his comrades joking with each other, a kind smile on his lips: "Okay, I'll give you a big red envelope later."

"Captain An, something's up!"

Just then, a tense sound came from Anping's walkie-talkie.

That was the sound of the patrol team walking a few kilometers away from them.

"Xiao Zhai, what's going on?"

Anping immediately raised his hand, signaling Lao Niu and the others to be quiet, and pressed the walkie-talkie to ask.

However, what followed from the walkie-talkie was only a scream and the sound of the walkie-talkie shattering.

"Something's happened!"

Old Niu and the others exchanged glances, and the cheerful atmosphere suddenly turned somber.

An Ping, his expression serious, put away the walkie-talkie and immediately ordered:

"Old Niu, immediately notify command. The rest of you, release the sprites and speed up the march!"

"yes!"

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

Somewhere on the border, in front of a metal mesh with huge holes.

"These are the garrison troops of the Yanhuang Alliance? They're utterly useless."

A man with long blond hair looked at the corpses stained red on the ground, his words full of contempt.

Beside him was a creature resembling a squid, with hair like tentacles and fins as sharp as knives—the Squid King.

The blond man waved his hand, signaling the Squid King to clean up the corpse, then looked impatiently at his subordinates:

"Forget it, whatever. Where is your next target? Point it out to me. I don't want to stay in this place that reeks of inferiority for even a second longer."

If it weren't for the Lord of the Court's orders, he wouldn't have wanted to come to this rural place devoid of divine favor.

It's disgusting to breathe the same air as a bunch of lowly people who don't even have faith.

"Yes, Lord Spencer!"

What are your thoughts on secondary attribute enhancement?

1. Features are enhanced a second time.

2. Add a new feature

Please leave the Pokémon you want to see under the corresponding option (preferably one from your team). If it's a new ability, you can explain the source of the new ability and who you want to give it to.

For example, the School of Fish ability, derived from the same Water-type Wishiwashi, is given as the second ability to Gyarados.

As for further enhancement of the features, I will consider any good ideas you may have.

that's all.
