Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 874, Champion
The 124th day after leaving the Orange Islands, it was cloudy.

The soft clouds are like balls of cotton wool, floating slowly.

Two days after leaving the small deserted island, Yu Hai and A Long arrived at the Baiyin Mountains in the Chengdu area. They stood on the forest coast of the mainland, looking at the rising sun. It looked like good weather.

Last night, they camped on this beach. The waves gently hit the beach, making rhythmic sounds, accompanying them through a peaceful night. After a good rest and regaining their strength, they are ready to set off today.

"Are you ready? This trip is not going to be easy." Yu Hai looked at Aaron with a smile. Aaron was wearing a simple quick-drying shirt, combat pants, and non-slip shoes, all of which were preparations for hiking in the jungle.

When Aaron saw the boss coming, he grinned and said, "I can't wait any longer, boss..."

They planned to go deep into the primitive jungle in front of them and head north in a straight line, with Yanmo City as their destination.

Afterwards, he went from Yanmo City to Kaji Town to visit Gyarados and the others, as well as the Ice Pillar in the ice cave. Yu Hai had been thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't know whether the Ice Pillar was still in the ice cave. If it was still there, he would release it and subdue it.

Before preparing to set off, Yu Hai had one more important thing to do, which was to prepare breakfast for the Pokémons. Astronaut had already broken through, the food used to be sheep horn powder as usual. Lucario's food also used sheep horn powder. In fact, Lucario had started eating it last week.

He hopes that in this way, he can improve the potential of these two guys together, especially Lucario's potential, which is much worse than that of Mantis.

The giant mantis gets up early in the morning and waves its pincers, making a whirring sound as it does its morning exercise.

Looking at the little guys like Mantis, Lucario, and Poliwag doing morning exercises, he felt very pleased.

Last night, he carefully looked at the panel of Giant Mantis. After breaking through the King of Heaven, Giant Mantis' potential also broke through. Now Giant Mantis' potential is much higher than Lucario.

"Don't worry, it will be ready soon." Yu Hai smiled at the giant mantises and the others, and his hands moved a little faster. They would set off after breakfast.

After preparing breakfast for the giant mantis, he also opened the giant mantis's panel...

【Giant Pincer Mantis】

[Attribute: Bug + Steel]

[Gender: Male]

[Potential: 70.01%]

[Level: 60.01%]

[Features: Insect Premonition/59.99%] [Hidden Feature: Light Metal/60.01%]

[Master the moves...]

The potential of the giant mantis has broken through seventy. It has just broken through seventy, which is really cause for celebration!

It seems that breaking through the potential of level ten is a high threshold. The senior level threshold of forty, the king level threshold of sixty, and the champion level threshold of eighty are more difficult to break through than the other.

Oh, it’s so difficult!

When he thought about the championship-level threshold ahead, he felt overwhelmed. It was really a headache. Fortunately, he still had sheep horn powder. If he still couldn't break through after using it, he would look for other materials to continue breaking through.

The level of the giant mantis has unsurprisingly exceeded sixty, and it has finally broken through to become a king-level elf. The next training plan cannot be stopped.

It is still necessary to continue following the breeding formula and strive to raise its potential to the quasi-champion level. Then, with the super stone, it should be able to briefly break through to the champion level, allowing the giant mantis to experience the champion-level strength in advance and prepare for the giant mantis to break through to the champion level.

There are two more characteristics. The Bug's Premonition remains the same, but the light metal characteristic has surpassed the King of Heaven. It seems that the breeding formula should be credited. While the breeding formula increases the defense, it also reduces the weight of the Giant Mantis, allowing it to move at super high speed.

For the remaining moves, except for Steel Wing which reached the King level, the proficiency of the moves that were focused on training has reached the Quasi-King level. The other moves have grown in the same way. It's a pity that Gopalion's steel moves were not inherited, which is really a pity.

After looking at the panel of Giant Mantis, he closed the panel of Giant Mantis and opened the panel of Zapdos. This time Zapdos gained a lot. The championship potential was just the finishing touch. Finally, with the help of the fragments of Thunder Slate, it successfully broke into the championship level.

It was worth it that he dug out a black stone fragment from the Alliance treasury and helped Zapdos break through to the King level.

[Attribute: Electricity + Flying]

[Gender: Male]

【Potential: 80.01%】

【Grade: 61.01%】

[Characteristics: Pressure/60.01%] [Hidden Characteristics: Static Electricity/60.13%]

[Master the moves...]

With the help of the fragments of the Thunder Slate, Zapdos' potential finally broke through to the champion level, which is a double blessing.

As for the level of Zapdos, it was also because of the fragments of the lightning slate that it just broke through and became one level higher than Claw Mantis. It is worthy of the energy of a first-level god, and it is indeed powerful.

There are two more characteristics. He was not at the king level before, but after being promoted to the king level, he naturally broke through to the king level.

One is the oppressive characteristic. As a mythical beast, Zapdos naturally has an oppressive feeling towards ordinary Pokémon. It does not need any training at all. After its bloodline breaks through, it naturally has the pressure of a mythical beast.

There are also electrostatic properties. It is impossible for the King who broke through using the fragments of the lightning slate to have no breakthrough in electrical abilities. These are all normal.

There are also many electric moves that have broken through to the King level, and those that have not broken through have reached the Quasi-King level. It is estimated that this is all due to the effect of the lightning slate fragments. Otherwise, relying solely on potential and level, it would be impossible to absorb so much energy from the lightning slate fragments.

Moves of other attributes are not as good. Flying type is better, basically reaching the quasi-king level. The other moves are not worth mentioning, and most of them are in a usable state.

Fortunately, Zapdos doesn't really need other moves. As an electric-type beast, it only needs to be able to summon lightning. Ordinary Pokémon simply can't withstand it, and it would be too cheap to let Zapdos, an electric-type beast, use other moves.

However, it is still necessary to train the moves to supplement the attack surface. Zapdos is restrained by Rock and Ice types, and it has countermeasures against both of them, which it has already learned, such as Steel Wings, Heat Wind and other moves.

The remaining moves are nothing special. Except for the moves for training, which have higher potential, the growth rate of other moves is relatively slow.

As long as the Lightning Bird is strong enough in Electric Type, it can use other moves when encountering Ground Type. It’s not like it can’t fight. How can a legendary beast be afraid of a Ground-type chicken?
Overall it's not bad. Zapdos' strength has surpassed the King level, and its potential has surpassed the Champion level. There are still some rice-sized fragments of lightning slate left. It's useless to take them back, so let Zapdos continue to absorb them and use them to consolidate its strength and potential.

Next, in order for Zapdos to break through to become the champion, it will need to find similar breakthrough materials. There is still a fragment in the League’s champion treasury. If it cannot find similar materials at that time, it can only look for an opportunity to enter the League’s treasury again.

The remaining fragments of the lightning slate can actually allow Magneto to break through, but Magneto no longer needs to worry about breaking through.

Zapdos has already made a breakthrough. After all, it is an electric-type beast. As long as Magneto absorbs Zapdos' electric energy, it will naturally break through over time.

The electric energy of the Zapdos is at least the third-level breakthrough energy, which is not the king-level energy of a first-level god beast. A reference case is the Electric Beast.

In any case, it is one level higher than the champion-level energy of eighteen attributes, and the breakthrough time will only be faster, not slower.

There is also Electabuzz, whose potential is the same as Zapdos. It was previously stuck at the semi-champion level. If it wants to break through to its champion potential, it will probably need a fragment of the lightning slate.

Moreover, if these two guys want to reach the championship level, they will need two additional lightning slate fragments, which means a total of four slate fragments.

Thinking of this, he gave a helpless smile. It seemed impossible. He didn't even know how to get the resources for Zapdos to break through to the championship level. Forget about the breakthrough materials for Electabuzz. He just had to endure it!

He closed the panel of the lightning bird. They finished their breakfast. The elves also finished their breakfast. He stood up slowly and patted the sand off his body. "They are about to set off."

Looking at the Baiyin Mountains in front of us, the mountain road is rugged and winding, with lush trees on both sides, and branches and leaves intertwined to form a natural green barrier.

The roads ahead are all mountainous. They may need to walk for a long time, crossing the entire Baiyin Mountains, before they can reach Yanmo City, which is similar to when he first arrived in Chengdu and was being hunted.
