Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The last one charged straight in, using a method of digging a hole and then puffing out its belly.

If Haoyan doesn't have a Flying-type Pokémon to counter him, things might really get difficult.

It has to be said that Qianli is probably the only one who has mastered the use of Normal-type Pokémon to its fullest potential.

"Haha, Haoyan, you praise me as a tactical master, but you win every single round."

"Are you praising yourself in reverse? Hahahaha," Qianli teased.

Qianli has a cold exterior but a warm heart.

They always appear serious and earnest when dealing with outsiders.

Only people who are relatively familiar with each other will joke around.

Although it was the first time Qianli and Haoyan had met, Qianli had already come to approve of Haoyan's character.

“Okay…it does have a bit of a Versailles vibe.” Haoyan laughed as well.

After chatting with Qianli for a few minutes, Haoyan took his leave.

He planned to travel to Hibiscus City, which was not far from Orange Blossom City, to obtain the Hibiscus Badge.

I believe that the older and more experienced Director Tie Xuan can put him under pressure in a match.

... ...

Haoyan walked leisurely on his way to Zijin City.

I like to explore the world on foot.

Tall trees can be seen everywhere in this world.

Unlike the cities of my previous life, which were full of steel jungles.

Enjoy the scenery of this world while traveling happily.

There were many pedestrians walking on the main road leading to Zijin City.

Yes, they are tourists on vacation or enjoying the spring scenery.

There are also trainers who travel together in twos and threes.

There were also a few enthusiastic young people who wanted to go to the Zijin City Game City, hoping to try their luck and turn their luck into wealth.

... ...

"Ouch!"

A beautiful woman wearing a casual short skirt and carrying a stylish handbag.

I was bumped into by a man wearing a hoodie who was walking quickly.

The beautiful woman specifically paired her outfit with black stockings and high heels to look good.

He was bumped into in the rush, stumbled, and was about to fall.

Just then, Haoyan walked past her.

He casually put his arm around the other person's waist.

Help her up so she doesn't fall.

The beautiful woman felt a sudden dizziness.

She had a bad feeling and was about to fall when she saw Hao Yan's handsome face.

"Thank you...thank you." The beautiful woman looked at Haoyan's handsome and young face.

Somewhat addicted.

"You're welcome," Hao Yan said casually as he helped the beautiful woman up.

Her eyes were fixed on the man in the hoodie who was leaving not far away.

"People these days have no manners at all. They bump into someone and don't even apologize!"

"Luckily you were here, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!" the beautiful woman muttered unhappily.

But when she was about to turn around and strike up a conversation with the handsome young man who had helped her earlier, she found that Haoyan had already walked away.

"What a pity. If only I could have gotten that handsome young man's phone number."

The beautiful woman's face was full of disappointment.

The woman was indeed quite pretty, but Haoyan didn't pay her any attention.

At that moment, he quickened his pace a few steps in the direction the hoodie-wearing man had gone.

He asked in a low, questioning voice, "Team Magma?"

Haoyan is not Sun Wukong; he doesn't have the Golden Eyes and Fiery Eyes.

He knew the other person's identity because a gentle, mechanical female voice echoed in his mind.

The system has issued a task!

Mission objective: Resolve the chaos created by Team Magma at Mount Sacred and prevent them from obtaining the Red Orb.

Task reward: 5000 reward points.

Penalty for mission failure: None.

... ...

Haoyan's system does not frequently issue tasks.

Haoyan's research revealed a pattern.

As long as something can advance the course of this world, there will be corresponding missions issued.

Coincidentally, it is these evil organizations that are driving the world's progress.

"You can only earn reward points by participating in and changing the world."

As Haoyan was pondering, several other people, their faces obscured by thick clothing and their expressions furtive, walked forward with their heads down.

"Sending off the sacred mountain, is that it?"

"I am coming."

"Little Lu's mega-evolution is just around the corner!"

... ...

Chapter 149 The Fire Rock Team Breaks into Mount Songshen

The Mt. Pilgrimage in the Hoenn region is the same as the Bone Tower in Lavender Town, Kanto, and the Lost Tower in the Sinnoh region.

It is a place filled with sadness.

However, unlike other areas, Songshen Mountain is very large.

The cemetery used to bury Pokémon only occupies a small portion of the area.

At this moment, many people are hiding in the grass outside Songshen Mountain.

There were at least 200 of these people, all wearing red and black Lava Team uniforms.

Two hundred people crouched silently in the surrounding grass, well-trained.

This was clearly different from the ragtag army led by Banai that Haoyan had seen before.

"Drip~"

"Drip~"

At the sound of a whistle, the members of the Fire Rock Team immediately emerged from the bushes.

They released their Pokémon.

A kind-looking, slightly overweight man was the leader of the Firestone team.

This person is none other than Flame, one of the three executives of the Fire Rock Team.

Judging from his appearance, Flame is definitely the epitome of an 'honest person'.

However, you must not be fooled by his honest appearance.

Within Team Magma, Flame is known for his ruthless methods.

"Group A is responsible for guarding the entrance. Anyone who enters through the entrance to Songshen Mountain must be tied up!"

"Groups B and C, you are responsible for subduing those who are sent inside the sacred mountain to perform the rituals."

"After subduing them, tie them up and send them to a pre-arranged location to be used as hostages."

"Teams A, B, and C, remember this: people are allowed to enter, but no one is allowed to leave!"

"Group D, come with me up the mountain, find that gem, and dig it down!"

"Does everyone understand now?"

As soon as Flame finished speaking, he scanned the members of Team Fireball with his sharp eyes, which were quite different from his appearance.

"Understood!" the Fire Rock team member whispered.

Flame looked at his team members with satisfaction, raised his right hand, and said, "For our 'great ideal'!"

The surrounding members of Team Fireball immediately imitated Flame's movements.

They raised their right hands together and shouted in a low voice, "For our 'great ideal'!"

"Alright, let's get started!" Flame swung his hand forcefully.

Immediately, the members of the Fire Rock Team present began to take action.

... ...

The Fire Rock Team ventured deeper into the interior of Mount Sending God.

Many trainers who were at the worship ceremony were kidnapped.

The Fire Rock Team has a large number of members, and their operation is organized and premeditated.

Even if a few trainers wanted to fight back, they were no match for them.
