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

Lung Lung Shi burst into tears.

After the fight was nearly over, Chu Lang, dragging his bruised and swollen face and riddled with dents, jumped to the ground.

Just then, the rumbling stone, which had been crying incessantly, suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Lang with a sinister grin.

The surrounding mountain paths were littered with small pebbles!

Chapter 40 The Anomaly in the Mountainous Area, Arrival at the Mining Research Institute

Young Giras and Zoroah looked nervously at the little Geodude creatures around them, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Fighting a single Pokémon one-on-one and being ganged up on by a group of Pokémon are two completely different battle scenarios.

Even against the strongest Pokémon, the former still has a chance to turn the tide, but facing a group of Pokémon is a different story. These Pokémon all possess ranged attack skills, and a single volley of fire would be enough to wipe out Chu Lang and his group.

"Roar!"

Young Gilas stood in front of Chu Lang, defiantly facing the Geodude monsters in front of him.

Soroya also moved closer to Chu Lang, ready to use his speed to escape with him at any moment.

The rumbling stone, whose face was bruised and swollen from Chu Lang's beating, raised its head and looked at Chu Lang defiantly, one eye looking at the sky and the other at Chu Lang, appearing extremely arrogant and unruly.

The little fist stones in the distance also raised their muscular arms, seemingly ready to fight at the slightest provocation, looking like they had Chu Lang completely under their thumb.

Chu Lang touched Young Gilas, who was blocking his way, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Rumblestone, you don't actually think you've got the three of us figured out, do you? You're in our hands now, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

As he spoke, Chu Lang covered his hands with wave-guiding power and punched the rumbling rock.

The moment that punch landed, Longlongshi was completely stunned.

He couldn't understand why Chu Lang dared to attack him even though all his clansmen had come here.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Lang pulled a Poké Ball out of his pocket.

Then, looking at a female rumblebee, also a leader, on the mountainside, he smiled and said:

"Madam, you don't want to lose your husband, do you?"

The little Geodudes on the mountainside fell silent instantly, and Young Giras and Zoroah were also speechless.

They considered the possibility of being defeated in the bloody battle, and they also considered the possibility of escaping with their master, Chu Lang.

But to their utter surprise, Chu Lang actually took the Longlongshi clan chief hostage!

Upon seeing the ball in Chu Lang's hand, the female Gravestone leader quickly stopped the surrounding Gnarles from attacking, fearing that her husband would be captured.

The Gravestone leader, held in Chu Lang's hand, saw the Poké Ball and its arrogant expression vanished instantly, turning into a pout and crying.

"rumble--"

My lord, please forgive me. I have truly changed.

Chu Lang punched Longlongshi again. "Don't cry. I still prefer your arrogant self from before. It's not satisfying to bully you now."

"Listen to me, if you act unruly again, or I'll arrest you."

Longlongshi pouted, unable to be arrogant at all.

Seeing that Longlongshi had been bullied enough and was almost on the verge of collapse, Chu Lang finally extended his right hand towards Longlongshi.

Longlongshi instinctively tried to dodge, but missed. Chu Lang's hand didn't hit him; instead, it stopped in front of him.

"Do you have a weird stone on you? Give it to me and I won't hit you today."

Longlongshi paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, took out a stone and handed it to Chu Lang, afraid that he would be beaten again if he was too slow.

Chu Lang glanced at the stone. It wasn't round; it was more like a rhombus, and it was entirely purple. It was undoubtedly an evolutionary stone.

"Good boys, I'll release you once you get to my mine. You'll have to be my bodyguards along the way!"

After the incident with the Little Fist Stone Clan, Chu Lang realized that they were outnumbered and outmatched.

At their level, they are nothing but small fry in a place where elves exist.

If they had encountered an entire tribe instead of this wildly rolling rumblestone at the beginning, they would probably be wiped out by now!

Chu Lang needed his friends' help to protect him, otherwise he wouldn't feel safe about the road ahead.

Upon hearing Chu Lang's words, Longlongshi and his wife both nodded repeatedly.

They are not ordinary Pokémon. If an ordinary Pokémon were to follow a powerful trainer, it would be a good thing.

They finally got born into a leadership family, wouldn't it be great to be the boss on the mountain?

I'll do anything as long as I don't get caught!

Seeing that Longlongshi and the others agreed, Chu Lang did not treat Longlongshi. Instead, he grabbed Longlongshi's arm with one hand and walked towards the mine.

A group of small fist stones and a few rumblebees followed at a distance on the mountainside, protecting Chu Lang's safety at all times.

The number of elves encountered along the way was far greater than Chu Lang had imagined. In Chu Lang's mind, no matter how many wild elves there were here, they should not be comparable to those in the secret realm.

However, he encountered far more Pokémon than he had seen in the online dungeons, including powerful Pokémon like Adolphin and Dragonite, which seemed extremely strange.

Fortunately, Chu Lang was followed by a group of small fist stones; otherwise, there would probably have been many unexpected twists and turns along the way.

With their protection, Chu Lang's journey became much easier. Even when he encountered some elves, he didn't have to worry at all and could simply walk past them.

If these local elves resist, Geodude's barrage of rocks will teach them a lesson.

Ten minutes later, Chu Lang could see a small house built in the basin in the distance.

The small house was decorated with the symbol of Westsea City and the flag of the Roentgen Cat Legion was flying. Inside were clearly the workers in charge of the mine that Guan Xiong had mentioned.

"Brother Rumblestone, thank you for your help along the way." Chu Lang handed a bottle of medicine to the kidnapped Rumblestone, and then stuffed him with a few meals' worth of small fist stone rations.

“Take these rations back to your son or brother; they’ll definitely like them. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I’ll bring you more.”

Rumblestone took the medicine and rations from the little fist stone, looking at Chu Lang's retreating figure with a resentful expression.

Damn it, I've been forced to accept favors from others and feel indebted to them.

He doesn't want these things, he wants to hit someone!

Chapter 41 Two Mines

"Knock Knock-"

Chu Lang used a Poké Ball to put away the conspicuous Zorroia, and led Larvitar to the entrance of the mining research institute, gently knocking on the door.

"Hello, may I come in?"

There was no response from inside, only a strange panting sound.

There was also a disgusting voice from a middle-aged man, "Xiaomei, I won't allow your husband to touch you this month, can you do that?"

Chu Lang patiently knocked on the door again. "Hello, I'm here to collect the mine. May I come in?"

"What are you banging on? Are you trying to kill me?" came an impatient man's voice from inside.

"What a buzzkill, Xiaomei, go open the door for him."

"Yes, Director." A sweet voice replied, and then Chu Lang heard the sound of high heels getting closer and closer.

A short while later, the door opened, and a woman in a business suit glared at Chu Lang.

"Can't you wait a little while? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know we're busy?" Xiaomei complained as she stepped back into the house in her high heels.

"Hehe." Chu Lang chuckled dryly and pointed at Xiao Mei's stockings.

"Your socks aren't clean; there's still milk on them."

"You're talking nonsense, we haven't finished at all." Xiaomei subconsciously replied, before realizing that Chu Lang was bluffing her.

"You pervert!" Xiao Mei stomped her foot in shame and anger, covered her eyes, and ran inside.

Young Gilas covered his mouth tightly, forcing himself not to laugh out loud; his master was really too mean.

Chu Lang curled his lip. These guys were doing such shady things during work hours and he wasn't even allowed to talk about it.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chu Lang looked at the sand table in the center of the research institute.

The sand table took up an entire table, with detailed labels indicating the name of each mountain and the properties of the minerals found there.

Baodushan: The mountain is 1600 meters high and contains a large amount of cavitation ore, which has extremely high mining value. The mining rights for 30 years are worth 160 million.

Longshui Mountain: The mountain is 1300 meters high and contains a large amount of iron ore. It has high mining value and a 30-year mining right costs 55 million.

Limu Mountain: 400 meters high, with gentle terrain and strong ground energy, suitable for planting high-quality fruit trees, with a 30-year lease for 5 million.

......

There are many mines here, some suitable for mining, some suitable for planting, and some suitable for developing into resort areas, which almost made Chu Lang's eyes dazzled.

Although Baodu Mountain in front of him is quite valuable, the Void Crystal Ore is not what Chu Lang needs. It is an auxiliary material for making Poké Balls and has little to do with Larvitar.

He certainly didn't need trees like those on Limu Mountain; even if Wang Hai gave him the entire mountain, he still couldn't afford so many trees...
