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

Xicui, Honglian Wetland, Wetland Base.

After bringing the armored rhinoceros home, it urged to bring it to Asong every moment.

Xu Li also couldn't stand the constant stare of the armored rhinoceros at that time, so after staying in Zhuqing Village for a day, he rushed to the wetland base.

Xiaozhao did not follow Xu Li. She planned to stay at home to train for a while and then go to the Obsidian Wilderness for training.

This was also suggested by Xu Li. After all, Obsidian Plains is considered a novice village.

Xu Li came to the Red Lotus Wetland, placed Asong's token at the designated location, and returned to the base to wait.

Finally, on the fourth day, when Xu Li came to the secret base of the three wild bandit sisters again, he saw Asong waiting there anxiously.

"Xu Li, you're here, it's..."

After seeing Xu Li, Asong immediately stood up, staring at Xu Li, his clenched fists unable to hide the excitement in his heart.

Xu Li didn't keep the secret and took out the Poké Ball of the Ironclad Rhino and released it directly.

“Ah Hui!!!”

When Asong saw the armored rhinoceros appear, he hugged it and lay on the iron body of the armored rhinoceros. His body twitched and he was obviously crying with excitement.

The same is true for the Ironclad Rhino.

Watching the exaggerated reunion of Asong and the Armored Rhino, two figures appeared behind Xu Li.

They are the other two sisters, Ah Zhu and Ah Mei.

"I'm so touched, woooo~~", Ah Zhu's wise voice came from the side, covering his face with his hands, sighing at their reunion.

……

After a while, wait for the three wild thief sisters to calm down.

Suddenly, Asong knelt down in front of Xu Li, which scared Xu Li.

"Although we three sisters are thieves, we are definitely not the kind of people who don't repay a favor. If you need our help in the future, I will do my best to help you, Xu Li."

Xu Li quickly helped Asong up and said, "You don't have to be like this. I just need your help with something."

"Well, you helped me, and I helped you, and we're even."

It didn't take much effort for Xu Li to get the armored rhinoceros back.

Moreover, based on the fact that Asong already has an armored rhinoceros in the later stages of the game, Xu Li may still encounter it after Dr. Laben releases the armored rhinoceros.

Xu Li only brought forward the reunion of the Armored Rhinoceros and Asong. He felt that Asong would not be like this.

Although Xu Li said that it was all forgotten, Asong didn't think so. However, she didn't say it out loud. Things like this should just be kept in mind.

Seeing that Asong accepted his statement, Xu Li also expressed his needs.

"Well, I need a certain ore. If I remember correctly, it should be in the ancient cave at the foot of Tianguan Mountain."

"Specifically, it manifests as emitting a red light."

Xu Li was talking about the materials used to make the Origin Sphere to capture the Gods of Time and Space, the Stone of the Beginning of the Universe, also known as the Origin Stone.

It is said to be the main material used to make the Arceus Slate.

It was already thinking about how to capture the Gods of Time and Space by suppressing the queens from all over the place.

In the game, the protagonist first obtained a complete chain, and after capturing one of the beasts, he discovered that there was another one, but the chain had been used and was broken.

He had no choice but to search everywhere for the fragments of the chain and the Origin Stone, and only then did he create the Origin Sphere and capture the other one.

Xu Li couldn't wait that long, so he planned to make preparations before capturing them and kill the two gods of time and space at once.

Of course, this is a matter for the future. Xu Li’s current task is to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

……

Washing green, ultramarine coast, beach base.

The Red Lotus Wetlands and the Blue Coast are geographically close to each other, separated by a mountain.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to the three wild bandit sisters, Xu Li did not return to his home in Zhuqing Village, but came to the Qunqing Coast.

Once again stepping onto the land in front of the beach base, Xu Li felt a little emotional.

The last time I came here was to find a shelter. I was only accompanied by Growlithe and Paras. Now, Growlithe has evolved into Arcanine.

This time I came here to train my strength, and...Xu Li looked at the eager-to-try Windwind beside him.

Thinking of the level of the Dragon King Scorpion, it was not the right time yet, so Xu Li stroked the head of the Wind Speed ​​Dog.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."

Although Xu Li said this to Wind Speed ​​Dog.

But even if it is still difficult to defeat King Scorpion, we can first help Arcanine collect some interest.

Chapter 56: Finally...Evolved

Xu Li brought Yaya to a place between the Ginkgo Beach and the Windward Forest on the Qunqing Coast.

This area is basically the territory of the Dragon King Scorpion tribe. Xu Li can also see many traps where the claw-tailed scorpions are buried in the sand with only a little bit of their tails exposed.

The Pokémon Scorpion can lie in wait in the sand all year round, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

It can also enter a state similar to hibernation, where it can go a whole year without eating anything just to ambush prey.

At least Xu Li could see this. If some other Pokémon was careless and didn't notice it, it would be waiting for the poisonous tail.

For example...the leader seal ball when Xu Li first came to Xi Cui.

I wonder how Seal Ball is doing.

Xu Li picked a scorpion with a pincer tail on the edge.

【Plierscorpion♀

Attributes: poison, evil

Level: Lv19

Features: Hard shell armor

Moves: Poison Needle, Glare, Claw Sharpening, Deadly Sting, Venomous Fang, Bite, Poison Spike, Insect Bite

Favorability: -1 (The Dragon King Scorpion race doesn't seem to have a high favorability towards you)]

This scorpion has a very rich skill pool at low levels.

Xu Li directly threw out the Poké Balls of Gloop and Lilyroot, intending to train his troops.

"Go ahead, this is your first battle."

"Sticky!" "Lily—"

Both the Sticky Baby and the Lily Root Doll are extremely serious.

"Lily Root Doll, Grow, Sticky Treasure, Dragon Breath, Beat it out."

Hearing Xu Li's command, Sticky Baby opened its mouth wide and a stream of purple energy gathered at its throat.

Phew~

After the dragon breath was ready, Sticky Baby directly erupted it. The shape formed by this strong breath was larger than Sticky Baby, and the impact force also made Sticky Baby roll backwards.

This sticky baby has very good talents and the dragon energy in its body is very rich.

The powerful dragon breath directly hit the soil where the scorpion was buried, causing smoke and dust to fly, and the scorpion was also revealed.

Being sprayed with the sudden attack, the scorpion was a little surprised, then immediately turned to anger, and quickly found the attacker.

With a "wow" sound, a light flashed on its tail, and it unleashed a deadly needle, rushing directly towards the nearest slimy baby.

"Hold on, sticky baby, paralysis powder"

Faced with the scorpion's rapid charge, the sticky baby, who was not very agile, found it difficult to dodge and was staring blankly at the deadly stings coming at him, at a loss as to what to do.

Hearing Xu Li's shout of "hold on", he instinctively put up a shield.

boom--

The deadly spike hit the guard, and only a crisp sound was heard.

Then he was hit by the paralysis powder of the lily root doll. His body stiffened and he was still paralyzed.

"Impact, impact bravely!"

"sticky!"

Just as the shield disappeared, Sticky Baby screamed and flew forward, crashing into the belly of the Scorpion.

Wow--

The pincer-tailed scorpion was knocked back several meters, stirring up a cloud of smoke. Its screams gradually attracted other pincer-tailed scorpions buried nearby.

They rolled up the sand and watched the battle here vigilantly.

"Lily root doll, ultimate absorption!"

As the Lily Root Doll drew the green energy from the Scorpion, the first Scorpion also lost its ability to fight.

The nearby pincer-tail scorpions, seeing their own kind being attacked, finally understood the situation and gathered around.

"Okay, that's great! Gooey Baby and Lily Root Doll."

Looking at the increasing number of pincer-tailed scorpions surrounding them, Xu Li smiled and continued.

"The rest will be handed over to your seniors."

As he spoke, he threw out a few Poké Balls.

Twinblade Maru, Infernape, Lurk, Paras, Sylveon, and Arcanine.

Faced with the enemy's siege, Xu Li's Pokémon quickly got into the game.

When Arcanine saw so many scorpions, flames gathered on his body, and he used Flash Flare Charge, crashing into the pile of scorpions.

The sand that the Flash Charge passed through turned black and entered the pile of scorpions.

All of a sudden, the scorpions burst into screams, and their bodies were knocked all over the place.

After venting a little, Arcanine returned to Xu Li, his eyes full of fighting spirit. His target was the leader of the Dragon King Scorpion.

Double-Edged Maru and Infernape were also going in and out of the group of scorpions. Double-Edged Maru's scallop shells swirled up streams of water, and it chopped the scorpions in the group, making splashes of water everywhere.

The little flame monkey used both hands to perform flame fists, each punch hitting a small pincer-tailed scorpion.

And Leke Cat finally had the chance to use Crazy Volt to his heart's content, charging through the group of Pincer Tailed Scorpions and crashing into them with great pleasure.

Sometimes I feel so happy that I just roll on the sand.

Xu Li watched Leke Cat rolling around and laughed. After Leke Cat joined Xu Li's team, he gradually relaxed.

Anyway, you can't beat Fang, Arcanine, and Double-Edged Maru who are so powerful, so there is no need to put too much pressure on yourself.

Fairy Eevee stayed by Xu Li's side to prevent sudden attacks from the enemy.

Soon, all the capable scorpions were cleared out, leaving only scorpions that had lost their combat capabilities everywhere.

Xu Li picked out a few strong ones and threw Poké Balls at them. Fireworks symbolizing the successful capture lit up from the sand.

Just as Xu Li was looking around, trying to see if his target was coming.

Suddenly, a ball of white light appeared beside me.

Looking back, the little flame monkey's body was now covered by white light.

"Finally... evolved."

Looking at the little flame monkey's slowly changing shape in the white light, Xu Li sighed.

Xu Li has always been puzzled by the fact that the little flame monkey has far exceeded the level of evolution, but has no tendency to evolve.

The white light dissipated, and a new fire monkey appeared in front of Xu Li.

Its body became thicker and it grew a tail. The flame at the base of the tail also became thinner and more vigorous.

The fur on its body became a little darker, and red and blue patterns similar to Chinese opera masks appeared on its face, and a circle of white hair grew on its neck.

This circle of white hair will turn into white armor after evolving into Infernape.
