Elf-like Life

Chapter 110, Departure, Steel Peak

"So it's the Haoli tribe..."

After Charmander and Pikachu relayed the information to Sableye, Sableye pondered for a moment.

"What's wrong, butler-sama?"

The alluring eyes quickly returned to normal.

"It's nothing."

"I was just thinking about some trivial things from the past, but the most important thing now is to get first-grade steel."

Charmander and Pikachu nodded their little heads, and then it was Sableye's turn to make his appearance.

Under the instructions of the Soul-Hooking Eye Butler, a new location marker appeared on the map of the two little ones' incredible adventure, which was a maze called the "Steel Spirit Peak".

"This is it."

"I went there once a long time ago, so I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track. This is where the Haoli tribe is located."

Therefore, the Macho Tribe, like the Long-Nosed Leaf Tribe, belongs to one of the three famous tribes in the Pokémon world?

The bewitching-eyed butler nodded in approval:

"Um."

"I've only heard about it, but like the Long-Nosed Leaf Tribe, I've never actually explored the deepest part of the tribe."

Charmander originally thought that, just like last time, since they were going to go deep into the Pokémon village, they would definitely need to work together with Pikachu and Sableye.

If everyone works together, no tribe can stop the Wish House from going.

Unexpectedly, this time the Soul-Hooking Butler decided not to go along, citing the reason of supervising the construction, and said that he had not recovered from the last trip to the Green Apple Forest.

Despite having such strong combat power, Charmander was unfortunately absent. Charmander really wanted Sableye, the butler, to join the operation.

However, Sableyes also emphasized that the construction of the long-nosed leaves has already begun, and from now on, one little fairy must be left in the Wishing Well every day for the safety of the construction.

In addition, he has added his hometown specialty, forest yokan, to the two little ones' adventure backpacks for this trip.

They also said that seeing "Forest Yokan" is equivalent to seeing the bewitching butler, and even if the butler doesn't go out, the two little ones can still successfully go on their trip and return in triumph.

In the end, Charmander and Pikachu had to team up in pairs to prepare for their departure.

After packing their bags and organizing all their belongings at the Kangaskhan warehouse, the two little ones headed straight for the Steel Spirit Peak.

Steel Peak

This maze is actually intricately connected to the previous Steel Mountain.

Steel Spirit Peak and Steel Mountain are both extensions of the Steel Mountain Range, but the Steel Mountain area is located in the core area where steel energy is most concentrated, while it is much more dispersed in Steel Spirit Peak.

The steel energy here isn't strong, so you won't see many Pokémon training like crazy to awaken Steel-type moves along the way.

Soon, Charmander and Pikachu arrived at the entrance to Steel Spirit Peak.

Dungeon Name: Steel Peak

English name: Peak of Steel

Number of floors: 20F + 5F

Items that appear: Pocket Coins, Apples, Recovery Potions, Steel Spikes.

Living Pokémon: Beldum, Machop, Machoke, Balrog, Mankey, Primeape, Makuhime, and Weasel.

Environment description: This is the end of the Steel Mountain Range, and the terrain is mainly composed of steel peaks.

However, a large number of Pokémon also inhabit the mountaintops, but Fighting-type Pokémon account for more than 90%, while the remaining Beldum simply likes the nearby steel rock walls.

To Charmander and Pikachu's surprise, all they encountered along the way were Fighting-type Pokémon.

What are Fighting-type Pokémon best at?

Those are their little fists, and they have to hone them day after day, year after year.

You can see arm wrestlers doing boxing training against those steel rock walls everywhere, and there are also many Makushita Rikishi and Kung Fu Itachi practicing sparring, making it a natural fighting training ground.

Floors 1-10 are filled with Fighting-type Pokémon training on their own.

Of course, there are also quite a few weightlifters sleeping by the rock face, because the atmosphere and environment here make them so comfortable.

When Charmander and Pikachu reached the 11th floor, they were basically halfway up the mountain and had picked up quite a few items.

For example, during this adventure, Charmander found a throwing tool for the first time.

—Steel spikes.

(Ding! The Starry Night Expedition Team has obtained a throwing item: Steel Spikes x5)

【Steel Spikes】: A dark blue, steel-spiked projectile that can be thrown with great force to damage sprites in a straight line.

The damage increases as throwing proficiency improves.

"Um, this thing looks familiar."

When I first saw the steel spiked dragon, I felt that it looked a bit like the kunai from Naruto Shippuden, except that it was a dark blue steel kunai.

Pikachu explained, "It does look similar to a kunai."

"But it's different from the kunai used by ninja sprites. Steel spikes don't require much throwing skill; the book says all sprites can throw them."

Is it that strong? Pikachu, can you demonstrate it first? I want to see the power of this steel spike item.

Suddenly, I was in a dilemma.

You should know that Pikachu has the least practical experience. It has never thrown steel spikes before, and has only learned a lot about them from textbooks.

"I'm not very good at it, I only know some of the basic moves. Hey, Charmander, how about we try it together?"

"Alright."

The little dragon held the steel spikes directly in its little claws, and they felt quite heavy, similar to the feeling of throwing darts.

But this thing is something that only fairies throw, so the feeling of throwing it is definitely different from that of human darts.

Pikachu:

"First, you must concentrate fully on aiming at the target!"

If you have a target, aim it at that rock face in front of you!

"Secondly, the book says that the power of steel spikes varies depending on the point of force application, so it is best to grip the bottom part to apply force."

"Finally, it's time to throw it!"

"Hey--"

Before Pikachu could finish speaking, Charmander attacked, throwing a powerful attack that even caused billions of points of damage to the rock wall.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Pikachu's steel spikes initially hit the rock wall with some force, but after a sharp crack, they fell straight down, essentially having the momentum without causing any damage.

"Hey hey hey, as expected of Charmander, I don't even know where my steel spikes have fallen off~"

【!】The moment the words left his mouth, a small, angry sprite appeared behind the rock wall used for practice, and the flames seemed to be growing larger and larger!

"Wait a minute, what a coincidence! Do we seem to have disturbed someone's rest?"

"No way!!"

No sooner said than done, the three fiery monkey brothers burst out from behind the rock wall in a rage. It was truly an old face meeting an old face, an old enemy meeting on a narrow road.

The three fiery monkey brothers: "Hey, it's you guys! We still haven't settled the matter of you disturbing our hot springs last time!"

Charmander + Pikachu: "Oh my god, it's you guys!"
