He knows Pokémon better than me.

"You've done very well, Yeebu."

With the outcome decided, Gangshi sighed and smiled bitterly, then walked over to Ye Yibu's side to begin treatment.

"Good job~"

Ash gave a thumbs up to Scorbunny, who, thanks to his Freeman ability and various flexible moves, can now easily challenge opponents of higher levels.

"cowry!"

The young Tengchu looked around. This was a world completely different from the modern world, which gave it a feeling that it could accelerate its improvement.

After treating Ye Yibu, Golem came up, still with ointment on his hand, and gently wiped the forehead of the young Tengcui.
This caused the previously confident young Tengcu to gasp in surprise and let out a low groan.

"Remember to heal properly after the battle!"

Gangshi smiled gently, a sight that made Huoxia blush.

As expected of the leader, she's still so warm-hearted!
Then everyone handed the stage to Huo Xia and Miss Qun'er, who still needed some time to recover.

Gangshi led the group to the mountainside of Yunhai Mountain Path, where there were three forks in the road.

"Guo Gang, I'm very interested in your battle just now. Would you like to come and visit our King Kong stronghold?"

He looked at Ash and extended a serious invitation.

The three forks in the road lead east down the mountain to Lizhi Lake, one of the three major lakes of Xicui. The Jingang settlement is built on the shore of the lake.

Ash's previous team battle with Scorbunny was clearly ahead of its time, and he really wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ash and have an in-depth exchange.

However, Pearl was already on guard. Upon hearing this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and, holding Ash's arm, blocked the rock.
"Wait a minute! He already agreed to come to our Pearl Village, he doesn't have time to go to your godforsaken place!"

Now that only she knows Xiaozhi's true identity, Zhubei feels a little smug.

Gangshi frowned, wanting to retort, "Whose settlement is it, that's the dead end?"

The Jin Gang settlement is located next to Lizhi Lake, on a wide open plain.

Although the vegetation is not as lush as in Zhuqing Village, which has the best geographical location, the Jingang settlement still has the necessary plants and trees.

The Pearl Village is situated in pure white permafrost, covered in snow all year round; it must be the real desolate place!
Zhubei seemed to have caught on to Gangshi's retort and preemptively refuted it:
"We have messenger birds everywhere there!"

"."

Rockstone could only sigh, clearly Ash was more familiar with the latter.

We can only try again next time!
Hikari kept giving Ash meaningful glances, her eyes full of questions.

"What's going on? How come you're so familiar with Zhubei?!"

Moreover, even from her side, she noticed that Tsubasa's hand had passed through the Ginkgo Merchant Guild bag on Ash's back, as if it had been clipped through a mold. Yet, Ash didn't seem to notice anything amiss.

Does Shelley already know that Ash is disguised?

Shouldn't this world be known only to her?
"Uh"

Ash could only shrug at Dawn, giving her a look of resignation.

Although he was quite interested in the King Kong settlement, it wasn't a big problem; he could go anywhere now.

Xiao Guang frowned, suddenly feeling a strong urge to speed up the game—no, to speed it up even more!
"Mr. Gangshi, Miss Zhubei, and any other kings who need my assistance?"

So Xiao Guang took the initiative to speak.

After defeating two "Kings" in a row, she felt like she could take them all down at once. Goro paused, then smiled gently at Hikari, who had just done her a huge favor, as if she were a subordinate of the Kongo Team.

"Our Vajra Team does have another creature in the foothills of Tianguan Mountain that has gone berserk, called the Cave King, but its level is far higher than Miss Skirt here."

"Furthermore, the foothills of Tianguan Mountain are a dangerous place, so for the time being, I think we shouldn't rush things."

Gangshi put it very tactfully.

The reason why the Winged Owl was able to defeat Miss Skirt so easily was largely due to its four-fold advantage over the Flying attribute.

As for the Cave King's strength, he could easily defeat five Miss Skirts; they're not even in the same league.

Let's wait until the Feathered Owl is upgraded to a higher level before trying again.

"Your Galactic Team has star ratings, right? Once you reach five-star level, I will make a request to you."

Xiao Guang raised an eyebrow, feeling as if he hadn't met the requirements and was stuck in a game level.

Beside it, the pearl shell also had an opening:
"The king that our Pearl Team serves on the Green Coast does not need to be supported for the time being."

These words aroused Gangshi's curiosity.

In the five regions of Xicui, the two teams together serve a total of ten kings, and none of the animals with unique riding abilities, such as the horned deer of the Obsidian Plains and the moon bear of the Crimson Lotus Wetlands, have fallen into a berserk state.

Similarly, the Dark Tail Black Fish that the Vajra Team served on the Azure Coast did not fall into the abnormal state of lightning strikes and rage.

The Phantomhive is particularly adept at surfing and is an excellent partner for water sports.

Logically speaking, the one who went berserk on the Azure Coast should be the king served by the Pearl Team, right?

After these two incidents of pacification, the relationship between the two teams has eased considerably, and Zhubei has even revealed some information to Gangshi, which is quite rare for her.

"What I didn't want to say was that the island king Arcanine, whom our Pearl Team served, passed away not long ago on the Azure Coast."

"Although the farm manager there has been training the island's offspring, Growlithe, in an attempt to help it evolve and officially take over the island's throne, the results have been minimal."

That Growlithe, a descendant of the island king, was even weaker than the wild Growlithe that the farm manager had captured himself.
"Therefore, there is currently no king on the Azure Coast, and naturally, no king has fallen into a rage."

Zhu Bei spread her hands and shook her head helplessly.

I have no idea what this inexplicable lightning strike means. Does it only strike fully evolved beings?
As for the Snowfield King that the Pearl Team serves on the pure white frozen soil, its level is even higher than that of the Cave King at the foot of Mount Tianguan!
Pearl Shell doesn't think that Little Light is something that can be touched at this stage.

Furthermore, there are Galactic Team guard posts at the checkpoints there, so other people can pass through normally, and the Galactic Team has no say in the matter.

However, members of Team Galactic who haven't reached a sufficient star level are prohibited from entering.

It can also be seen as protecting one's own people.

"I will only make a request to you once you become a Survey Corps member of 7 stars or higher in the Galactic Team."

After some thought, Zhubei gave a formal answer.

Xiao Guang: "."

Her storyline progressed too quickly, causing her level to actually lag behind.
I'm really stuck!

Ash pursed his lips at this, and could only give Dawn an encouraging look.

Or should we go back and level up first? (End of Chapter)
