Pokémon: After taking the advice, this trainer is invincible.

Neither taking initiative nor refusing, and certainly not training.

Chu Lang was not discouraged. Once he found a way to make Zoroya quickly improve his strength, he didn't believe that Zoroya could resist the temptation to become stronger!

Chu Lang picked up his phone, took a picture of Soroya sleeping beside him, and then added a filter that made him look miserable.

After several days of research, his photo editing skills are now quite good; he can casually take a photo that evokes a feeling of heartache.

Here's the caption: [Hello everyone, I just caught a Zoroar! This little guy just defeated Larvitar, giving me hope of defeating Bellsprout. Now I'd like to ask how to quickly level up her Sharpen Claws skill!]

Soon, comments began appearing under the photos Chu Lang posted.

[Little Kiki's brainless fan: Damn it, just how bad is your Eurythmus, OP?]

I used to think that the trumpet bud you mentioned was stronger, but now it seems I was wrong. Clearly, any Pokémon could easily crush Larvitar, making it a complete flop!

[If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of others like Paluka: Damn, you're such a brainless fan! You got the first comment but didn't even recognize this Zoroa? Isn't he prettier than Larvitar?]

After seeing the comments on the second floor, all subsequent comments were swayed and began to focus on Chu Lang's Zoroya.

[A reporter who loves catching bugs: Holy crap, a Zorroia! It's even rarer than a shiny Pokémon! So cool!]

After a while, an account displaying the status of a top VIP even followed Chu Lang and started commenting.

[Young Master No. 81 of Fengmen Village: Is the uploader here? I want to buy this Zoroya. I'll offer 1 billion. For that price, you can buy a very good Young Giran.]

As he spoke, the netizen, who called himself "Young Master No. 81 of Fengmen Village," also tipped Chu Lang's video with 10,000 yuan, indicating that he was not joking.

Out of consideration for the 1 yuan, Chu Lang replied to the arrogant netizen.

[@Young Master No. 81 of Fengmen Village, I'm sorry, I'm not planning to sell this Zoroark. I'm just posting this today to improve its Claw Sharpening skill.]

Soon, the eldest son of number eighty-one in Fengmen Village sent another comment. This time, his comment was very simple, consisting of only three words.

[Skill Machine!]

Upon seeing these three words, Chu Lang gave a wry smile.

He also knew that TMs could quickly improve a Pokémon's skills, but that was something ordinary people couldn't do.

This product is almost entirely monopolized by Growlithe breeding centers; there are simply no other sales channels available elsewhere.

Even the TMs at the Growlithe Breeding House are incredibly expensive, with the cheapest one, "Catch," costing over a million dollars, a stark contrast to the prices of other Pokémon items.

The reason is simple: it seems that the creation of TMs requires materials from Pokémon, and some of these materials can even affect the Pokémon's life.

Therefore, TMs are regulated, and only Growlithe Nursery can use materials from dead Pokémon to create them.

Chu Lang continued searching the comments section, but found none that could trigger the system task. Everyone was shocked by his Washi Zorya and had no interest in making any outrageous suggestions.

After searching for more than ten minutes, Chu Lang gave up completely.

It seems that maintaining a good public persona is very important; I must keep it up from now on and not flaunt my wealth.

He needs netizens who offer outrageous suggestions; sophisticated netizens are not suitable for him.

Chu Lang thought for a moment and then pinned a comment to the top of the comment section.

[Take on various suggestions to help the adorable Zoroa train its claw-sharpening skills. If this post gets over 100 likes, we'll get started!]

He was certain that this one sentence would definitely provoke a backlash from netizens!

After leaving this comment, Chu Lang immediately closed the Douyin platform.

"Young Gillas, you keep training. I'll go prepare your meal. Zoroah, come see what you want to eat."

"I have instant noodles in all sorts of flavors here, such as braised beef, shrimp and fish cake, braised mutton, and pork ribs in broth."

Zorua: ( ′?? ???` )

Chu Lang laughed and said, "Let's just have a simple meal. After we finish eating, we'll go accept the mine that Commander Wang Haijun is giving us."

"I'll buy you something nice if you want to eat something good then!"

Chapter 38 The Unexpected Appearance of the Golem Chief

After the meal, Chu Lang had Zoroya transform into a sonic dragon, while he himself transformed into a dragon knight.

Although he may have ridden it last night, Chu Lang still has a strange feeling today.

After three years of traversing time, he finally took to the air using his elven powers.

"Zoroa, fly ahead, over that developed beach, and we'll reach our mine in about ten kilometers."

"Ya Ya!"

Soroya cried out and suddenly accelerated.

She was extremely skilled in the Noisy Dragon's transformation state, and flying had long become instinctive for her.

Under the influence of Noivern's appearance, all the Flying-type Pokémon around Chu Lang kept their distance, fearing that they would be affected by this "powerful" Pokémon.

"Haha, that was great! I wish we could become true Gym Leaders sooner."

"Roar!" Young Gilas on the dragon's back also looked longingly at the sky and echoed the call.

Soon, they passed the beach not far from Chu Lang's house, and all the tourists on the beach started pointing and whispering about Chu Lang.

Wow, a Dragon-type Gym Leader, that's amazing!

"That trainer is so cool! It's incredible that he already has a Dragon-type Pokémon at such a young age."

......

Hearing the shouts from below, Chu Lang felt a little embarrassed.

If he were a genuine Gym Leader-level Trainer, that would be one thing, but right now he's just a beginner.

"Zorua, could you fly any faster? This is so embarrassing..."

Soroya scoffed, "Eating instant noodles won't make you fly fast!"

Chu Lang was speechless for a moment. It seemed that not all elves were as easy to deal with as Larvitar.

"When we get back, I'll take you to get custom-made Pokémon food, and then I'll buy you a Miltank so you can drink Moo Moo milk!"

"Yaaa!" Zoroa called out excitedly, accelerating again.

In less than five minutes, Soroya had already carried Chu Lang across a 10-kilometer radius and landed in a range of mountains.

Although Westsea City is a coastal city, it is surrounded by mountains to the north, where there are many Rock-type Pokémon. However, these mountains are nothing compared to the vast ocean, so they are rarely mentioned.

Chu Lang's target this time was one of the mountains, which Wang Hai had already gifted to him.

Once Zorua landed, a dozen soldiers riding giant rock serpents quickly swam up to Chu Lang.

"Who goes there? State your identity!"

This area is full of mines, each one extremely valuable, and generally trainers are not allowed to explore here.

Chu Lang remained obediently in place and shouted to the soldiers in the distance:

"Everyone, Commander Wang Haijun sent me here. He said he's going to give me a mine rich in rock elements."

Upon hearing Wang Hai's name, a man who appeared to be a captain waved to the soldiers behind him.

"Don't act rashly yet. The deputy legion commander seems to have mentioned this matter yesterday. I'll go and take a look first."

The captain rode his Onix closer to Chu Lang and his Pokémon, glancing warily at the Noivern that Zoroar had transformed into, and maintaining a safe distance.

"I heard from our deputy commander that the people who came to take over the mines had a baby Kiras and a green Zorua. Where is your Zorua?"

His words carried a scrutinizing tone, indicating that he did not entirely believe Chu Lang.

Chu Lang wasn't angry. After all, he was a soldier, so it was normal for him to be a little wary.

He made a direct call to Wang Hai, and under Wang Hai's instructions, the captain decisively chose to let them pass.

“Young man, just walk inside. There are mine workers inside. Just take my token and choose a mine.”

"They will tell you the types and concentrations of elements contained in each mine, and you can choose the one that suits you!"

"Thank you, brother," Chu Lang said, then walked inside.

Having endured three years of hardship raising the young Gilas, Chu Lang understood the importance of being polite; sometimes, a simple thank you could save him a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on the captain's face after hearing Chu Lang's words.

"Although you know Regiment Commander Wang Haijun, the Legion Commander doesn't come here often. If you need anything, mention my name. My name is Guan Xiong."

With that, Guan Xiong rode away on the giant rock snake, leading his soldiers to patrol elsewhere.

Chu Lang continued walking deeper into the mine, as Guan Xiong had said he was still quite a distance from the inside.

This time, Chu Lang did not choose to fly. Although military personnel often patrolled these mountains, they would not completely eliminate the elves in the area. At most, they would only defeat those elves who harbored great hostility towards humans and would maliciously leave the mountains to kill them.

However, the fact that the remaining Pokémon doesn't seem to be very hostile towards humans doesn't necessarily mean it's all benevolent; some Pokémon have a very strong sense of territory.

Young Gilas had no hostility towards those Flying-type Pokémon, yet it still smashed every Pokémon that passed over the farm.

When Zoroah saw that Chu Lang was about to walk, it immediately transformed into its true form and perched on Chu Lang's shoulder.

In just two days, she had already become familiar with the location.

It's comfortable and warm; this spot will belong to her from now on!
