"We really shouldn't blindly believe in science."

Looking at Xiaoxi Xiaomi, who was already fast asleep in the cave, and the five light blue Pokémon lying next to them, Zhong Mingyi finally said this.

"Ahem, see that?"

Lin Xuan coughed twice, then proudly addressed Zhong Mingyi.

Even he himself didn't expect Xiaoxi and Xiaomi to be so fierce, digging out five pieces in one go.

As for Song Chen, who was watching from the side, he was already numb. Is this the legendary treasure-hunting rat? Can't I have two of them too?

Although Zhong Mingyi had picked up quite a few before, it was all passive. He just picked them up casually when Daidaiwang passed by, which was not as easy as Xiaoxi Xiaomi's.

After being so thoroughly discouraged, Zhong Mingyi didn't bother to say anything more. He simply waved to Lin Xuan, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted.

"The final project will have to wait until everyone is here, so you can relax on this island for the next few days, but be careful..."

Zhong Mingyi looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes again.

“You need to understand where this is. The Pokémon in this small area have all retreated, but it’s hard to say if we go any further. Moreover, there are even Pokémon on this island that I can’t handle.”

Then Zhong Mingyi saw Lin Xuan quickly raise his hand. Although he felt that this guy was definitely not holding back any good words, he still subconsciously said something.

"what's up?"

"Just one. Is there a Wi-Fi here?"

Zhong Mingyi: ...

When Lin Xuan heard Zhong Mingyi say that there were Pokémon on the island that even he couldn't handle, Lin Xuan immediately backed down. No matter what he did next, he felt it would be safer to stay by Zhong Mingyi's side.

"no!"

Zhong Mingyi held back for a long time before finally saying those words, but he still couldn't suppress the urge to beat up Lin Xuan.

"However, the League has already dealt with those guys that I couldn't handle, and they've all been captured by some powerful trainers, so you don't need to worry."

Zhong Mingyi was somewhat helpless. He had only meant to scare Lin Xuan, but after hearing about the danger, the guy simply chose to lie there and do nothing. That was... very much in line with Lin Xuan's style! No one else could say something so shameless.

"Oh, that's alright."

In fact, he had already guessed that the only Pokémon that Zhong Mingyi couldn't handle was a five-star Pokémon. If Lin Xuan and the others encountered such a Pokémon, they probably wouldn't be able to escape. The simplest solution was to let Xiao Xi and Xiaomi use their digging skills to dig a hole underground.

Of course, this pit isn't for running away or hiding. It's mainly because we're already dead, so we should at least bury us, right?

For a guy of that caliber, the league would have to be out of their mind to do that.

So the only clueless person left in the whole place was actually Song Chen.

However, if you don't have Pokémon of that level, this is a very suitable training location. Due to the influence of Kyogre, the Pokémon here are much stronger than in other places.

However, Lin Xuan was still very curious about one thing.

"Who else are we waiting for?"

"There will be quite a few people, and some of them should be people you know. You can take care of each other then."

Just as Lin Xuan was about to ask further, she sensed a strong surge of superpowers, and Dazed King appeared beside them.

Clearly, Slowking has finished moving all the goods and is back. However, for some reason, he has an apple on his head. Perhaps he wants to emulate Newton? The purpose of this apple will soon be revealed.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the camp first."

Zhong Mingyi casually caught the apple that Daidaiwang threw to him and took a bite.

"Not bad, it's quite sweet~"

"Stay~"

Soon, Lin Xuan and Song Chen arrived at the camp with Zhong Ming, and then—

Why is there still no one here?

Then Zhong Ming pointed to the two servants on the side.

"Isn't this much better than people?"

"Hmm...it seems like everything's fine."

Lin Xuan nodded as she looked at the two loyal servants. The only regret was that Gardevoir was not included.

Chapter 365 Specialty Plasters

After that, Lin Xuan temporarily stayed here with Zhong Mingyi. Although there weren't many people, the League provided enough supplies, and even sent two Abbots, who were among the most caring Pokémon.

After arriving, Lin Xuan didn't stay idle. She immediately headed in the direction Zhong Mingyi had pointed out earlier. According to Zhong Mingyi, Lin Xuan should encounter an opponent not far from there.

Lin Xuan asked who it was, but Zhong Ming didn't say. He said that Lin Xuan should experience it for herself. As for the danger, he might have to worry if Lin Xuan was just an ordinary person.

But Lin Xuan is now a wave guide user, so he won't be completely powerless to resist no matter what happens, so he is quite at ease.

Lin Xuan's idea was to take Xiao Dian and the others out for some real-world combat training. If you think about it, it had been a long time since the last stressful outdoor combat experience.

During that time, they had been focusing on training at the Jinhui Dojo. Although they encountered some opponents during the trip to the Ice Lake, they were basically crushed by Xiaodian and the others. Only Xiaoxi, Xiaomi, and Gyarados were able to get some training.

This is the most suitable training location in Lin Xuan's opinion. Since there are five-star Pokémon that even Zhong Mingyi finds troublesome, there must be quite a few four-star Pokémon as well. Xiao Dian and Eevee can go up and try to integrate their recently acquired power.

As for Song Chen, he seemed to share the same thought as Lin Xuan, but after thinking for a moment, he did not choose to walk with Lin Xuan, but instead went in the other direction.

In his opinion, training would be much less effective if they went together. Anyway, Zhong Ming had already scouted the place beforehand, and the strongest Pokémon had been taken away by the League, so there was basically no danger.

However, before going out for training, Lin Xuan still needed to do one thing.

"I haven't had time to use it before."

Lin Xuan took out the special ointment she had obtained from her teacher Luo Guan and locked it in a small box, just like before. However, the lock was gone, and it could be opened with a gentle pry.

Lin Xuan opened it with ease, and the moment it was opened, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

"Is this the legendary special plaster? This is the first time I've ever seen it."

Even Zhong Ming couldn't help but curiously come over to take a look at the special ointment in Lin Xuan's hand. However, since the ointment was so rare and useless to him, he naturally didn't pay any attention to it.

But when it comes down to it, curiosity will still arise.

"Ah."

Lin Xuan nodded, then looked at the plaster in the box. She had been too busy lately to have time to use the special plaster after obtaining it.

Now that I have the time, I naturally want to make the most of it.

Before leaving Jinhui Dojo, he also inquired about how to use Luo Ge's special plaster.

Although it's called a special plaster, it actually needs to be taken internally and used externally at the same time.

The method is quite flexible. For Gallade's Sharpness ability, you need to take some internally and apply it to both blades to maximize its effect.

However, for some specific characteristics, even if it is taken entirely orally.

Therefore, after hearing the instructions for use, Lin Xuan felt that the name of the special plaster was mispronounced.

Moreover, using the special medicated plaster is not something that can be done overnight; it requires a step-by-step approach. Therefore, Lin Xuan took out a special tool, removed a small portion from the medicated plaster, and handed it to Gallade.

"Try?"

Looking at the dark, muddy-looking substance in Lin Xuan's hand, he hesitated. Although it smelled alright, it didn't look very appealing, and as for eating it...

Lin Xuan didn't care. Anyway, no matter how it tasted, it wasn't his food. So, there was a special meaning in his eyes as he looked at Gallade, waiting to see Gallade's reaction.

Gallade hesitated for a moment, but ultimately swallowed what Lin Xuan offered, then its eyes lit up...

It looks pretty good?

As for Lin Xuan's expression... he seemed a little disappointed. He would rather this guy taste bad so he could see Gallade's expression.

"How about it?"

Lin Xuan asked Gallade, but Gallade remained expressionless and even looked somewhat puzzled, as it didn't seem to have any particular feelings.

After swallowing the special salve, Gallade only felt a slight warmth in its body, and then felt nothing more.

Lin Xuan wasn't surprised to hear Gallade's words, because Luo Guan had told him before that there wouldn't be any special sensations when taking the special medicated plaster at first, and that it should be done gradually.

"That's it?"

When Zhong Ming saw that Lin Xuan had simply fed Gallade a small lump of black mud and that was it, he immediately felt a little bored.

"Just take a little at the beginning. The whole process will take about a month."

Lin Xuan explained to Zhong Mingyi.

"Spending a month to get a new Sharpness trait is definitely worth it."

Zhong Ming nodded. Even among all the abilities, Sharpness is definitely an S-level ability, mainly because it is a perfect match for Gallade.

After realizing that there was no excitement to watch on Lin Xuan's side, Zhong Mingyi immediately started to shoo everyone away. Lin Xuan didn't waste any time and set off immediately. Since the distance wasn't far, he didn't even bring much stuff. He just took a few Poké Balls and a small bag and left.

"Hmm...I wonder what we can find?"

As Lin Xuan walked deeper into the forest, he looked around and encountered some Pokémon along the way, but most of them were of average strength. Lin Xuan even thought that he could handle some of them, including Poipole.

However, it still encountered some powerful opponents, such as a Pidgeot, but after sensing the aura emanating from Gallade accompanying Lin Xuan, it chose to run away immediately.
