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

The next day.

After resting for a night at their temporary camp on a small island in the East China Sea, Wan Xuan led Mu Yun into the secret realm.

After a slight sense of disorientation, a temporary encampment, identical to those outside the secret realm, appeared in Mu Yun's field of vision.

This was clearly a temporary base established by the advance team.

Mu Yun released his waveguide to explore the island's environment.

Just as the previous information recorded, this deserted island is not large, at most only a few square kilometers in area.

It's so small that it's barely a dot on a world map.

"This is our exploration team's dedicated vessel." Wan Xuan led Mu Yun to the edge of the island.

This is a medium-sized blue and white boat.

It is about 20 meters long and 5 meters wide. The boat is not big, but it is small but complete.

In addition to the driver's cab, there are also spacious storage compartments and a lounge.

Clearly, this takes into account the space where elves live.

"The hull is made of a special alloy, which is lightweight and durable. Unless it is attacked by a dominant-level spirit, it will not suffer much damage. However, if possible, it is best to avoid letting the spirit attack the hull, so as not to affect the engine or something."

Wan Xuan gave a simple instruction.

"If we encounter a problem that is difficult to handle, we can fire this flare, and then a special patrol team will notify us."

The patrol officer is someone in the exploration team specifically responsible for putting out fires and notifying headquarters.

Some sailed on the sea, while others rode elves in mid-air.

This is all to ensure the safety of the exploration team members to the greatest extent possible.

"Thank you so much, Captain Wan!"

After receiving the ship, Mu Yun reached out and patted the storage bag at his waist. A stream of light shot out and hit the ship directly.

To the astonishment of Wan Xuan and those around him, the ship's hull began to glow faintly.

Outside the cockpit of the ship, a pair of large, round, light blue eyes appeared directly.

The intelligent vessel, Little Wuhao, has arrived!

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

[Elf: Rotom (Infinite)]

Gender: None

【Attributes: Electricity + Steel】

[Level: 69 (Gym Level) / 69 (Gym Level)]

[Racial stats: 600 → 720]

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

The stream of light that just shot out was Xiao Wu, which separated from the phone.

Compared to the mobile phone form with only 660 racial stats, this medium-sized ship is clearly better able to unleash Xiao Wu's full potential.

Although it's still a bit behind the supercomputer's 980 points, a racial value of 720 is still quite strong.

"This is Rotom? What an amazing sprite!" Wan Xuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Even someone as knowledgeable as him had to admit that Rotom was truly a unique elf.

This thing is practically artificial intelligence; it can give all machines a soul!

"See you later, Captain Wan."

After exchanging greetings, Mu Yun carried his luggage onto "Little No. 5".

"Loto~~"

The ship, which would normally require a long time for an experienced captain to set sail, was started almost instantly.

They sped away amidst the astonished gazes of Wan Xuan and the others.

"Wow, that's incredibly fast! It seems to be even faster than the ship's original maximum speed!"

"Indeed, and the steering is incredibly agile, as if an invisible hand is twisting the hull—it's amazing!"

"Speaking of which, Captain Wan, should we still follow them?" Just as everyone was sighing, Xiao Wu, who had been assigned to the escort mission, asked somewhat at a loss.

He had done shipboard missions many times, and with his extensive experience, he almost never encountered any problems.

But today, he has clearly encountered the biggest problem of his life.

His boat seemed less agile and faster than his opponent's...

"........."

Wan Xuan, having regained his senses, also fell silent.

Oh no, I was so busy admiring the scenery that I almost forgot about the important matter.

"Notify the patrol team, everyone to be on high alert and pay close attention to the waters where Mu Yun is located. We absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to him!!"

"Yes, Captain Wan!"

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

"Boss, there are no more members of the exploration team around."

On the Little No. 1, Patrick put down his amplification helmet and said.

This is the amplification helmet that Chen He gave him after he returned from Xindu last time. It has the effect of stabilizing the mind and amplifying superpowers.

"Um."

Mu Yun nodded.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a huge, crimson creature appeared on the surface of the sea.

Its over 30-meter-long body plunged into the sea, immediately creating waves.

Amazingly, no matter how the waves surged, the deck beneath Mu Yun's feet did not shake at all.

It was as smooth as land.

Clearly, with the addition of Xiao Wu, the ship not only improved in agility and speed, but also in stability.

"Xiao Jin, same as always, don't go too far."

Mu Yun transmitted a message to Mu Yun.

The main purpose of this trip to the East Sea Secret Realm is to help Xiao Jin and Er Li improve their levels and traits.

Xiao Jin needs a sufficient number of dragon spirits to transform into a dragon, and Er Li's dragon general characteristics also require him to command dragon spirits in order to transform into a dragon king.

"roar!!"

Xiao Jin let out an excited roar.

Men must fight!!

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

[Ding! Red Gyarados (54) defeated Tentacruel (55). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is equal to yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 55 points. Red Gyarados's growth level has been slightly increased!]

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

[Ding! After continuous efforts, the Red Gyarados has increased its growth level. Current level: 55!]

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

[Ding! Target Pokémon level detected is not lower than own. Red Gyarados (Little Gold)'s Dragon Transformation ability triggered, its base stats +1 (randomly assigned, HP +1)!]

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

[Racial stats: 917 → 918]

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

There are many sea creatures, but perhaps because they are not far from the island, there are not many creatures of the Overlord level or above.

After quite some time, they finally encountered a level 55 venomous jellyfish.

Fortunately, there aren't many high-level Pokémon, but there are many low-level ones.

Xiao Jin traveled and fought his way through the game, successfully leveling up to level 55.

I estimate that if we go further afield, we'll encounter more high-level Pokémon.

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

Meanwhile, somewhere in the secret realm of the East China Sea.

On the sea, a ship made entirely of solid wood suddenly appeared.

Above, there were several people dressed in white robes with blue patterns.

"Oh! By the God of the Sea, we've succeeded!!"

"Is this the legendary kingdom of the Sea God? It truly is an endless ocean! Glug glug~~ Ah! Even the taste of the seawater is filled with the sacred aura of the Sea God!"

"Alright, everyone calm down. Don't forget why the Grand Master expended his divine power to send us in!"

The leader drew a prayer gesture, the symbol of the Secret Sea Cult, on his chest and praised it with reverence and worship:

"Lord of the boundless ocean, God to whom all streams flow, have mercy on your pitiful and faithful followers! Grant us calm amidst the storms! Protect our path and ensure we find your grace on this journey!!"
