Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

At this critical moment, a sharp, dark blue stone pillar rose from the ground in front of Togekiss, striking the Dark Raven leader who was swooping down with outstretched wings.

Then came a deafening roar.

The Dark Raven leader, writhing in pain, turned his head and was met with a scene that terrified him.

A massive, ferocious bear roared and charged straight toward him.

He was shocked. Wasn't this the Moon Bear who could go toe-to-toe with the Red Lotus Wetland Overlord, Nianmeilong?

How could such a terrifying elf exist on this desolate, godforsaken island?

He was startled and uncertain, and had no time to think further. Faced with the Moon Bear's charge like a heavily armored chariot, Murkrow quickly raised its body and flew to a position where the Moon Bear's Stone Strike could not hit it.

Even though he couldn't attack the other side, it was always better to be cautious when he didn't know the strength of this Moon Bear.

Seeing this, the Moon Bear didn't pursue further, but instead ran towards the Murkrows surrounding Togekiss. Another Stone Attack shot up from the ground, and one Murkrow fell to the ground.

The other Murkrows were also frightened and abandoned their attack on Togekiss, flapping their wings and flying to the side of the Murkrow leader.

On the ground, the Moon Bear and seven or eight Murlocs faced off from a distance, showing no sign of backing down.

…………

The Dark Raven leader hesitated whether to continue plundering, but the pitiful cries of its companions in the woods sent a chill down its spine.

Is there an ambush on this small island?

The twenty or thirty Dark Ravens I brought this time are definitely not enough. I need to go back and report to the boss and call back more men to take revenge!

In short, we can't let this go unpunished. We, the Dark Ravens, are the ones who bully others; it's not our place to bully us!

The vengeful Dark Raven thought bitterly.

Then, a hoarse but loud voice echoed throughout the island, "Hehe—brothers, this is tough, let's retreat! Go back and get reinforcements before we come back for revenge!"

With a single call, the large number of ravens in the forest ceased their battle with the enemy and flew back to their leader.

Then, dozens of ravens gathered into a black cloud and flew away in an orderly fashion.

With the crisis temporarily averted, the three little ones collapsed on the beach, exhausted, and closed their eyes to rest, not even having the slightest desire to move.

"Tibrim, the Drop of Life."

A familiar and warm voice reached my ears, followed by a continuous flow of life energy into my body.

Pokkigu finally came back to life. He barely opened his eyes and saw a face that he hated but also felt was kind.

I used to dislike them, but now I feel close to them.

He glanced at Xia Shen with a complicated expression, struggled to his feet, flew to the bag of tree fruits he had guarded, and pushed it toward Xia Shen.

"Bojigu—"

He apologized for attacking you without warning and asked you to take the bag of berries back.

The fierce look that Pokkigu always had on his face was gone, replaced by an expression of half gratitude and half shame.

Xia Shen found it intriguing and couldn't resist teasing him.

His face hardened, and he said seriously, "Apologize? If apologies were effective, would it mean we could make mistakes at will?"

Knowing it was in the wrong, Pokjigu didn't dare to talk back and could only look at the approaching Dongshimiao with pleading eyes.

"Fat—" Dong Shi Miao responded gently, her voice full of encouragement and expectation.

"Chirp!" Togekiku seemed very surprised by Dongshimiao's words and quickly flew to her side.

The two elves were whispering to each other, seemingly discussing something important.

Xia Shen had some guesses in his mind and waited patiently.

After hesitating for a long time, Pokkigu flew back, its eyes resolute.

"Bojigu—"

Please let me go with you! I want to improve myself and protect my happiness!

Chapter 170: Three Months of Growth!

Xia Shen led his family of four away from this troublesome place on the island.

All the Pokémon heard the harsh words the Murkrow left behind before it departed. Xia Shen and Moon Bear might be able to handle a small group of about twenty Murkrows.

But the flock of crows led by the chief crow is not so easy to deal with.

Besides, the fruit trees on the island have been almost completely ruined, so there's nothing worth keeping.

Sitting on the Pidgey, Xia Shen opened his phone and looked at the messages from Tokkigu.

【Pokkiku】

[Energy Level: 39]

[Attribute: Fairy/Flying]

【gender:】

【Trait: Divine Grace (Thanks to Divine Grace, the probability of additional effects from moves occurring is doubled)】

[Moves: Fairy Wind, Drain Kiss, Meditation, Air Blade, Air Slash, Superpower, Triple Attack, Magical Dazzling Strike, Shadow Ball, Water Pulse, Flamethrower]

…………

Xia Shen was surprised. This Togekiss was actually less than level 40?

This was several levels lower than he had expected.

Whether it was the battle against Zoroark or the later battle against the Murkrows, the performance of the untrained Togekiss was far beyond just level 39.

Xia Shen wasn't dissatisfied with this level; in fact, she was even more satisfied.

The fact that this Togekiss has demonstrated a higher combat power than its actual level indicates that it has extremely high potential.

This is also evidenced by the moves that Togekiku has mastered.

Besides the moves you learn naturally by leveling up, there are as many as five moves that you need to learn through practice.

Moreover, he did this without any guidance from his clansmen...

Hardworking, talented, and most importantly, with a heart set on becoming stronger, this is undoubtedly the Pokémon that trainers love most.

Xia Shen just wants to say one thing: It's so good!

However, how to properly raise Togekiss requires the trainer's efforts, and Xia Shen already had a plan in mind for this.

Firstly, in terms of ability, Togekiss's ability is Serene Grace, which Xia Shen prefers, rather than Vigor or Super Luck, which makes this Pokémon full of the potential to create miracles.

Being incredibly lucky and hitting vital points isn't necessarily a bad thing, but Xia Shen's team doesn't lack damage output; what they lack more is control and support.

Tianen Aircraft can fill this gap perfectly.

What does it mean when the probability of skill bonus effects is doubled?

This means that the probability of the Air Slash flinching is as high as 60%, and the probability of the Triple Attack being affected by abnormal status is also 40%!

In the game, if you're lucky, a plane with a timid scarf lock-on air slash can completely torture your opponent to death.

Therefore, Xia Shen decided that this summer vacation, he would focus on training Togekiss's moves that have additional effects.

If possible, the [Primal Power] skill is also very good; it deals decent damage and has a 20% chance to increase all attributes by one level...

However, this move can only be learned by leveling up, and Togekiku of the Washing Green cannot learn it. I wonder if it can be learned through real-world instruction.

Thinking of this, Xia Shen suddenly paused for a moment.

Wait... Yawn and Look at Me are skills that can only be learned by leveling up. If I can't learn them, I'll be missing out big time.

Xia Shen realized for the first time the weakness of the Emerald Sprite: it had too few moves.

Conversely, the green-washed Togekiss can also learn many moves that the real-world Togekiss doesn't know.

For example, the power of the moon—perhaps this is a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined...

That being said, if I could, I would definitely learn this amazing doubles skill.

The only hope is to find a Togekiss and see if it can be taught.

……

In addition, Xia Shen also needs to prepare a top-tier Light Stone for Tokkigu.

For Pokémon that need to evolve using evolution stones, the quality of the evolution stone greatly affects the Pokémon's base stats.

This is easy to understand; low-quality evolution stones contain impure energy, which will inevitably reduce the energy purity of the Pokémon that evolves from them.

Now that the conditions are right, Xia Shen naturally has to prepare the best for his elf.

However, there's no rush. Before evolving Togekiss, the foundational damage from previous experiences and the hidden injuries accumulated over years of survival in the wild will require time and effort to repair.

…………

Flying back to the Red Lotus Wetland, escaping the entanglement of the flock of dark crows, Xia Shen ended her green-washing time early today and returned to reality.

The following day, Xia Shen traveled between various places, including the Pokémon Center, the hospital, and the Pokémon Shop.

Introduce the basics of this world to the few Pokémon that came from the green-clad area, take them to the hospital for a full medical check-up, register Togekiss and the others' Pokémon information, and purchase some necessities for their daily lives...

Xia Shen experienced a whole host of things related to a new elf joining the team, something he hadn't done in a long time. The last time was almost half a year ago with Tibris.

This time, there were four spirits at once.

However, apart from Togekiss, Xia Shen does not plan to train the other three Pokémon as his main Pokémon.

With Togekiss joining the team, Xia Shen finally assembled a main lineup of six Pokémon.

This is also one of the most basic requirements for becoming a professional trainer.

The other condition, of course, is that the three Pokémon pass the professional-level assessment.
