I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

[To a certain extent, you can be immune to paralysis, burns, and frostbite]

Directly immune to these states? It would be great if this ability could be given to Pokémon. Xu Li felt that he would rarely trigger this ability. However, the extra reward should not be missed.

There is also the loot function. Originally, the system only had [Mission Achievement], [System Backpack], and [Identification Panel]. Now a new function [Loot] appears on the far right.

Click on [Loot], which is a space similar to the system backpack. Now there are three items: [Experience Candy S], [Move Learning Machine: Silk Spinning], and [Insect Gem].

【Experience Candies】

[A candy full of power. When given to a Pokémon, it can increase its experience points slightly.]

【Insect Gem】

[A bug-attribute gem. After using it, the power of bug-attribute moves will be enhanced once.]

It's obviously an item related to the boss, the spiny-tailed insect, that was just defeated. The silk-spinning learning machine... seems useful but useless, but the other two items are pretty good.

After receiving the system's reward, Xu Li planned to try out his new ability.

Focusing his attention on the water otter, suddenly, in Xu Li's eyes, the surrounding environment became dark, and only the water otter's body was bright.

"Water Otter, take that!"

Xu Li held the prop in his hand and threw it towards the water otter, straight into the otter's mouth.

"Mee~you~~~"

Seeing that the water otter seemed very comfortable after eating the experience candy, Xu Li shook his head, his vision returned to normal, and he paid attention to the surrounding environment again.

Because Xu Li had chased Sparky Pony for a long distance before, he now didn't know where it was.

The areas on both sides of Xu Li are separated by a river. This place is similar to the terrain of a peninsula. There is a bridge-like structure made of rocks in front. It is rugged and leads to a higher level of terrain in front. Is this the stone-cut bridge marked on the map?

Since you came to the Black Plains for experience, try not to go back.

Xu Li said to the Pokémon surrounding him:

“Let’s keep going.”

"Wow!"

"Ya Ya~"

Climb up the rock bridge, walk out of the Horseshoe Prairie, and continue into the depths of the Black Diamond Wilderness.

On the way, Xu Li released the Eevee from the Poké Ball. Eevee was a little uncomfortable staying in the Poké Ball for the first time. After coming out, it wrapped itself around Xu Li's chest, humming "Bu-Ee~Bu-Ee~".

This little guy became dependent on Xu Li in a short period of time.

Now Xu Li's team is getting bigger and bigger, especially since Xu Li rarely puts Pokémon in Poké Balls. Now, next to Xu Li are Fang, Growlithe, Lurid, Melochia, and Paras and Eevee on Xu Li's body. The only ones that have not been released are the newly captured Carapace and the Seal Ball that is not here.

Walking on the grass of the Dark Wilderness, ordinary wild Pokémon of this scale would not dare to provoke this group of evil forces.

Only Xu Li was bullying wild Pokémon.

For example, now, the three Geodudes, Grunt, Fang, and Lurid in front of Xu Li are standing on the periphery to surround them, preventing them from escaping and forcing them to fight Eevee, Lil' Golem, and Paras.

【Small Geodude♂

Attributes: Rock, Ground

Level: Lv16

Features: Strong

Moves: Impact, Round, Rock Grind, Roll

Favorability: 10]

"Paras, Mushroom Spores, then use Absorb"

Paras took the lead and the mushrooms behind him shook, and the mushroom spores blew towards the Geodudes. Two of the Geodudes were unable to dodge and fell asleep due to sleepiness.

"Eevee, Speed ​​Star, help!"

The remaining Geodude curled up its body, used Roll, avoided the mushroom spores, and rolled towards Eevee.

"Bu--!"

Eevee opened its little mouth and spit out many stars that crackled towards the Geodude, blocking its rolling steps a little and breaking its strength at the same time.

Then, Eevee clapped his front paws, and Paras felt a force entering his body, waiting for its release.

Without hesitation, he used Absorb on Geodude. Pieces of green light were drawn from Geodude and merged into Paras's body. With the help of Eevee, the power was even greater than usual.

In addition, because of the four grass-type moves that are countered by Geodude, Geodude's rolling has not yet hit the target before it is directly sucked up by Paras's drain and loses its combat ability.

There are two Geodudes left, and Xu Li sends out another little cat monster.

"Little cat monster, hmm~ stare and bite"

Most of the moves of the Little Cat Monster are electric-based, and have no effect on Geodude, which has ground attributes.

One Geodude was eliminated, and the Little Monster turned to the two Geodudes that were put to sleep.

Regardless of the fact that their eyes were closed due to the mushroom spores, the golden eyes stared at the sleeping opponents and activated the glare. A stream of energy entered Geodude's body, lowering its defense.

Pokémon's moves are truly magical. Even if the opponent is asleep and can't see, glaring can still be effective.

Then the cat monster opened its teeth filled with dark energy at Geodude and bit Geodude with a loud noise. Before Geodude woke up, the cat monster bit it several times in a row and it lost its ability to fight.

The other sleeping Geodude also lost its combat ability due to the absorption of Paras.

Xu Li directly took out Xi Cui's Poké Ball and captured three Pokémon. Three fireworks rose on the grass.

He placed Geodude's Poké Ball in a backpack dedicated to investigation, intending to hand it over to Professor Laben for research.

The Pokémon being studied by Dr. Laben can't be said to be very happy, but at least they have food and shelter provided, and don't have to suffer from the wind and rain in the wild. Most of the Pokémon used for research in the breeding area of ​​Zhuqing Village have a laid-back attitude.

Most of the wild and difficult-to-train Pokémon that were unwilling to stay in the breeding area were also released.

Xu Li continued to walk forward and saw a rumbling stone with red eyes rolling towards him. When it saw Xu Li, it accelerated and rolled towards him.

【Rumble Rock (Boss)♀

Attributes: Rock, Ground

Level: Lv33

Features: Hidden in the Sand

Moves: Rock Grinding, Rolling, Stomping, Big Self-Explosion, Rock Critical Attack, Mount Tai

Favorability: -5】

"Ready to fight!"

When Xu Li was shouting, the leader Longlongshi had already approached Xu Li, but with the help of the system's agile body, Xu Li jumped to the right and rolled over, avoiding the leader Longlongyan's rolling, and let Longlongyan hit the mountain behind Xu Li and stopped rolling.

Xu Li quickly took the sticky balls from his backpack and threw a few at the leader Longlongshi embedded in the mountain wall, then commanded:

"Paras, Mushroom Spore, Eevee, Yawn"

Paras sprayed out mushroom spores again, and Eevee yawned, sending the bubbles flying towards Rhydon.

"Ya Ya, Sword Dance, Water Otter, Gather Qi"

The leader, Rhydon, was also drowsy and about to fall asleep due to the yawn and mushroom spores.

But when his eyes were about to close, the leader Rumble Rock roared suddenly, and a strong air wave was emitted around him, which blew away the little cat monster and Paras who were close to him. He woke up instantly and woke up from his sleeping state.

But it also bought precious time, as Yaya's sword dance and Water Otter's energy gathering were completed.

"Eevee, help!"

Eevee clapped his hands again, helping the energy flow into Fang's body.

"Drafting, Shell Blade, Double-Edged Head Hammer"

Green energy surrounded Fang's body, and his speed increased again. He raised his legs and rushed towards the boss Rhydon. Water Otter also summoned Scallop and followed behind Fang, while Growlithe lowered its head and rushed to the side of the boss Rhydon.

First, Yaya's Draft kicked Rhydon in front, and then with the help of Sword Dance, the Draft with huge attack power once again pressed Rhydon to the back wall.

Next came the continuous slashing of the Water Otter's shell blade on the vital points, and the double-edged headbutt from the side of Growlithe all poured down on the boss Rhydon, causing Rhydon to embed deeper into the mountain wall.

After Yaya's draft hit the target, he was also in mid-air due to the influence of the reaction force. He condensed a stream of water from his tail and used the tail of the water to smash the leader Longlongyan's head from top to bottom.

Even after getting up, Paras used Drain on the boss Rhydon.

Although Rhydon is an excellent defensive race, it also has many attribute weaknesses and cannot withstand these enhanced water and grass-type quadruple restraint moves.

Under the continuous attacks of Xu Li's Pokémon, the boss Rhydon didn't even use any moves to resist and directly lost its combat ability.

Xu Li took out the Xicui Poké Ball and threw it at the leader Rhydon, and fireworks rose.

"This is like beating the younger ones and now the older ones are here. A family should be complete, although I don't know if they are a family."

"Let the doctor study this. He's been talking about wanting to study the boss all day, and he must be so happy to see this. Anyway, Rhydon doesn't suit my taste."

Because of the noise of the battle just now, the nearby wild Pokémon all ran far away, and now I can rest quietly with the Pokémon here.

【Obtain loot】

[Experience Candy M] [Move Learning Machine: Rock Crit] [Hard Stone]

Hard Stone

[A hard stone that will never crack. Carrying it will increase the power of rock-attribute moves.]

【Experience Candy M】

[Energy-filled candy, when given to a Pokémon, increases its experience points]

Hard Stone is pretty good and very useful for Growlithe. It can enhance the power of Growlithe's Double-Edged Headbutt, Rock Slide and other moves.

"Wow~"

Xu Li came to Growlithe and brushed off the dirt on Growlithe's head that was stuck on it from the previous battle. Growlithe's tail also began to wag gently.

I took out the hard stone, but was at a loss as to how to carry it. There seemed to be no place on the Growlithe's body that could carry the hard stone.

"Yes"

Xu Li parted the scarf-like hair on the chest of the Cati, stroked the tufts of hair that had now become softer, put the hard stone in, and then weaved the tufts of hair around the hard stone to ensure that they would not fall off.

Finally, a bulge appeared on Growlithe's chest due to the hard stone, but it was not very obvious from a distance. Growlithe did not care. He rubbed Growlithe's head and said:

"That's it for now. I'll make a cape for you when I get back."

“Oh, and this too.”

Xu Li took out the [Move Learning Machine: Rock Crit] and let Growlithe use it.

This wasn't the first time that Growlithe had used the move learning machine, and he was feeling the new moves gradually becoming clear to him with ease.

"Wow!"

It felt the rock energy and new moves coming from the hard stone, and launched a rock attack on the river. Huge rocks fell into the water, splashing water and scaring the Magikarp in the river to flee in a hurry.

"Wow! Wow!"

The Caterpillar was extremely excited. It pounced on Xu Li, wagging its tail and licking Xu Li's face.

"Okay, okay."

After finally calming down Growlithe, Xu Li gave the experience candy to Yaya to eat. He watched Yaya level up in the system panel and listened to Yaya's comfortable roar.

"Tooth~~"

Pinching Yaya's little belly, it seemed that the experience candy tasted very good, so Xu Li also wanted to find an opportunity to try it.

"Pie~Pie (Is this still available? Can I have some?)"

Paras also heard Yaya's comfortable cry, climbed onto Xu Li's shoulder and rubbed Xu Li to curry favor, wanting to try the experience candy.

Xu Li picked up Paras with his backhand and looked at the mushroom on Paras's back, which had grown more than twice as big as when he first saw Paras, and felt a little worried.

The mushrooms on Paras' back and the bugs on Paras are two parts. The mushrooms will increase Paras's desire to eat.

Most of the nutrients that Paras absorbs after eating will be absorbed by the mushrooms until it evolves into Parasit. At that time, the insect's consciousness will die, and the body will be controlled by a giant mushroom.

Looking at the innocent eyes of Paras, the bug was completely unaware of the crisis it was in and was still eating greedily. Can you eat experience candy? What if it evolves?

After spending so much time with Paras, Xu Li also likes this greedy little bug very much. He doesn't want to watch it evolve like this, so he has been intentionally controlling Paras's diet.

Although this is unfair to the mushrooms on Paras's back, Xu Li doesn't care. He is interacting with little bugs, not mushrooms.

"You can't eat this until I get you the Stone of Invariance."
