Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It's willpower!

His superpower awakening originated from the "God of Will," Arknom. According to Arknom, his will was strong enough to meet the standard for awakening superpowers.

Just now, browsing through the terrifying images and memories on the Death Board, the biggest test for him was his willpower!

'So, in other words, since I awakened my superpowers through willpower, I can enhance them by training my willpower?'

Xia Yan felt that this guess was the closest.

Instantly.

His gaze toward the Death Tablet changed.

Even the grotesque and ugly appearance of the Death God Plate seemed to have become cute.

This isn't a death trap, it's practically an experience booster!

Chapter 171 Super Evolution Stone

An unexpected bonus.

A truly unexpected bonus.

I never imagined the Death Plate had such a function.

Xia Yan quickly used a Poké Ball to put away the Death Plate.

If nothing unexpected happens, this "experience baby" should be enough for him for a long time.

Of course, as he browses more and more of the memories on the Death Tablet, its effect on him will definitely become less and less.

But compared to not being able to find a way to improve superpowers, this is undoubtedly a very good method.

As for what to do after he becomes completely immune to the effects of the Death Plate, that's a matter for the future. Let's focus on accumulating the "experience" we have now.

Moreover, Death Plate is also a pretty good Pokémon.

If you encounter a particularly tricky Pokémon, especially one whose ability is a major factor, you can use a Deathcap to "troll" it, directly changing its ability to "Ghost," and then all the trouble will be solved.

For example, encountering a forced Nidoking.

For example, encountering the Heavenly Grace Pokémon.

...

These characteristics, which account for a large proportion of a Pokémon's combat strength, significantly reduce their danger level after being touched by the Death Plate.

Those three Death Coffins are also pretty good elves. Besides being able to "crash and burn" like Death Plates, they have an even greater purpose.

It can be used to destroy evidence and cover up the crime.

Anything Xia Yan didn't want to leave a trace of, like the corpse of an enemy, could be easily dealt with by simply throwing it into the coffin of death and closing the lid.

It saved the trouble of digging with a shovel; we just buried it directly.

From now on, anyone who dares to provoke Xia Yan to the point of no return will be buried by the Death Coffin.

Most importantly, both Death Plate and Death Coffin are spirits that don't need to be fed by him.

It works with zero consumption; is there a better "tool" than this?

He glanced at the ancient giant dragonfly and the monstrous jaw dragon next to him.

These two are simply huge consumers of food.

The two elves noticed Xia Yan's strange gaze, and for some reason, they felt a chill run down their spines.

She immediately flashed a "well-behaved" smile, indicating that she would be very obedient.

Look back.

Xia Yan then turned his attention back to the memory fragments he had obtained from the Death God Board. As he recalled the scenes he had seen, his expression slowly darkened.

He guessed right.

This ruin was indeed an ancient people's research institute for elves.

Furthermore, in order to conduct research and obtain the necessary materials and desired results, they resorted to extremely unethical methods. Even compared to the methods used by Team Rocket in Xia Yan's memory, they could barely be considered "good people."

After sitting on the ground in deep thought for a long time, and waiting until the elves had recovered, Xia Yan got up again.

This time, instead of exploring each of the stone chambers in the ruins, he went directly to one of them.

After opening the stone door, this stone chamber is larger than the others and is the room of the person in charge.

Inside the room were the things Xia Yan needed.

A set of special stone keys can open some of the sealed rooms within the ruins.

At the same time, Xia Yan, having obtained the key, took out a dazzling stone that shimmered with seven colors from the drawer of the stone table in the stone chamber. Despite the erosion of the long years, its color and luster remained unchanged, just like new.

Mega Stone!

This is also the information he obtained from the memories of the Death God Plate.

A Mega Stone whose origin is currently unknown!

Having witnessed the changes and improvements in Beedrill's strength after Mega Evolution, the benefits of Mega Evolution and Mega Stones are self-evident.

Regardless of whether his Pokémon can use such a Mega Stone, it is destined to be very valuable.

If it's an Alakazam Mega Stone, then you've made a huge profit.

Even if it's not, once the super evolution is announced, it's destined to be able to exchange for a large amount of resources, so it's still a huge profit!

Put away the Mega Stone.

This should be the biggest gain he made from this exploration of the ruins.

After doing all this, Xia Yan led the elf away from the stone chamber.

Following the spiral staircase, we headed straight for the underground cavity, which occupies the largest portion of the entire ruins.

Below this is the largest experimental field in this ruin.

Countless elves have suffered inhuman treatment within its walls.

Although countless years have passed and there may be no surviving elves left, I still felt a chill when I got close.

pat-

As you descend the last step.

Under the dim candlelight, the general layout of the experimental field was presented to Xia Yan.

“Chocolate…”

Pokkiku hung his head, revealing an expression of rare frustration, heartache, and sadness.

Even after so much time has passed, it can still sense the pervasive atmosphere of sadness and despair.

This made Togekiss, the happiness sprite, extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like my chest was blocked, making it hard to breathe.

Xia Yan gently pulled Tokigu into his arms. Having witnessed the fragments of the Death God's memory, he understood why Tokigu was so sad.

Even Xia Yan, who always considered himself to be quite indifferent, felt a tightness in his chest after seeing the scene, but had nowhere to vent his frustration.

"It's all in the past."

Xia Yan patted Pokkigu's head, gently comforting him.

After entering Xia Yan's embrace, Pokkigu finally managed to break free from that sadness. She clung tightly to Xia Yan, clutching his clothes, biting her lip, and silently nodded.

Xia Yan sighed and could only hold Pokkigu tighter, hoping it would make it feel better.

He then took the special stone key and opened each of the laboratories, which had been sealed off for many years.

If you see the skeletons of elves in the laboratory, you should quietly collect them, intending to take them away from this ruin and bury them in a secluded place, so that they can have a final resting place and also to comfort your own heart.

As for burying them separately...

Sorry, I can't tell them apart anymore.

Piles of white bones.

The purpose of this laboratory in ancient times is now lost to history.

As expected.

None survived.

Furthermore, there were no obvious signs of cleaning in the laboratory, indicating that the ancient people inside the ruins must have left in a hurry for some reason.

After opening all the laboratory doors, we arrived at the innermost one.

In Death's memory, this laboratory was the most important place in the entire ruins and the key to the experiments conducted in the entire laboratory.

There shouldn't be any elves left inside.

But in the end, Xia Yan's heart was still in suspense.

The ancients spent so much effort and resources to focus on a single spirit. If it were to actually survive like Claydol or Coffin, what kind of terrifying being would it become?

Thinking about this, I became more cautious about opening the door to this room.

Take a deep breath.

It will definitely be opened. If they are still alive, there's no reason for them to be trapped in such a laboratory. They would probably have escaped long ago.

Put the last stone key into the lock.

ka ka ka-

The stone gate slowly opened.

A thick, black mist immediately emerged from the crack in the stone door.

"sigh!"

The two sword sheaths stepped forward, blocking Xia Yan's path. The black mist instantly entered its body, making it want to groan.

All of them are high-quality, high-purity ghost-type energy.

As the stone door slowly opened, Xia Yan's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the scene inside, and he instinctively took a step back.
