Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Uncle, your skills aren't bad either!"

Upon hearing this, the uncle smiled proudly and thumped his chest loudly.

"Of course, I was a powerful figure who once obtained six badges!"

"In the words of you young people, he's already a powerful expert at the sixth level of the Power of the Emblem!"

"Six dan?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

"They're at the same rank as me!"

He immediately showed off his badge.

"To be honest, I'm already a sixth-level expert in the Power of the Emblem!"

"what?!"

"He's also a sixth-level expert! My apologies for not recognizing him!"

The uncle's expression turned serious as he looked at Ash's badge.

At this age, one can have six badges.

Although upon closer inspection, there is a blue badge inside...

Even so, the remaining five were earned through sheer hard work!

It's absolutely terrifying!

......

After treating the injury, the uncle stood up, patted the strong man's arm, and had him do a few stretching exercises.

After confirming that his joints were functioning properly, he nodded in relief and turned to look at the three of them.

"All right!"

"State your demands. What exactly do you want?"

The three of them were taken aback.

I was so focused on discussing whether Nibi and Cerulean badges could be used to offset each other's ranks that I almost forgot about the main topic.

Xiao Zhi scratched his head and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"Uncle, our Pokédex is out of power. Do you know where the nearest supply point is?"

"That's all?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat strange. "You should have said so earlier!"

He thought the three of them saw how efficiently he worked and wanted him to help repair the road in front of their house!

After all, with his physique, anyone who sees him would be confused!

"If you want to charge it, I have a diesel generator here. You can charge it with an adapter."

Needless to say, Guai Li got up and went to get the adapter.

After charging the two encyclopedias for the three of them, the uncle started fiddling with Xiao Gang's burnt encyclopedia.

"You... you're really quite bad."

He glanced at the monstrous strength.

He possessed extraordinary strength, holding a tool in each of his four hands.

In just a moment, the back cover was perfectly disassembled, revealing the densely packed circuit boards inside.

A faint smell of burning wafted out.

"The interface and battery are both burned out. Was this encyclopedia struck by lightning?"

“Pikachu…”

Pikachu's ears drooped down immediately, and its little face guiltily hid behind Ash's shoulder.

"Luckily, the motherboard isn't broken. I'll just replace the battery and the connector for you!"

"Strange power!"

Take out your toolbox and find the right parts.

The superhuman strength manifested from all four arms.

Holding a welding torch in one hand and a screwdriver in the other, while holding the diagram in one hand, the other hand precisely picks up a brand-new interface component.

The four hands had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly.

Two hissing sounds were heard during welding, followed by a click as the battery snapped into place.

It only took a few minutes in total.

"All right."

The man took the picture book, put the back cover on, and pressed the power button—the screen lit up.

"Amazing!"

Xiao Zhi's eyes widened, and his jaw almost dropped.

"Uncle, you even know how to do this!"

The middle-aged man snorted, but like the freakish strength, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.

"Not worth mentioning, absolutely not worth mentioning!"

"When it comes to working... we're professionals!"

......

Let the encyclopedia charge there.

The uncle warmly invited the three of them to have lunch together, and they chatted about their experiences on the road, creating a lively atmosphere.

"You're going to Crimson Lotus Island? That's quite a distance."

Upon hearing the three men's stated goals, the uncle put down his chopsticks and shook his head with a sigh.

Back then, his journey of challenges ended at the Crimson Lotus Gym.

Unlike other dojos, Xia Bo of the Crimson Lotus Dojo is a true veteran.

Blaine has been a gym leader since he was a child.

However, something seemed to have happened in the middle, and he disappeared for a period of time before reappearing. Along with him, his hair also disappeared.

But his skills... have indeed improved a lot compared to before, it's just that he's a bit reckless with his attacks.

"Now that we've set a goal, who cares how far it is!"

"really."

"It would be nice to soak in the hot springs over there."

"Pikachu".

Looking at the three energetic young men, the uncle sighed.

"It's good to be young, you have energy."

"Since you're going to Crimson Lotus Island, just keep going straight along this road."

He pointed in one direction.

"If all goes well, we should arrive at Fossil Park by tonight. Not only can you rest and resupply there, but you can also see quite a few ancient Pokémon. It should be a rather novel experience for you..."

"Fossil Paradise!?"

Xiao Gang was startled, and saw that the usually calm man suddenly stood up.

"Such a wonderful place!?"

As a Rock-type Pokémon trainer, he has absolutely no resistance to "fossil Pokémon," which are life forms that spring from cracks in rocks.

That's a life form that has lived for hundreds of millions of years and then been resurrected!

It's a gem among rock formations, a romance refined by time!

Putting everything else aside, you should know that his initial XP was the swimsuit-clad guide at the fossil exhibition hall!

"So, if I go, what exactly can I do?"

Xiaoxia raised her hand and asked a practical question on behalf of the hot-blooded Xiaogang.

"I don't know why this composed man is so agitated," the uncle thought for a moment and replied.

"It's basically digging for fossils or something in a designated area."

"Digging, digging... fossils?!"

Xiao Gang's breathing became rapid.

"There's a special excavation area in the park. You pay an entrance fee, and they'll give you a small hammer and brush."

"If you're lucky, you might dig up some common fossils like scales or claws, which you can take home as souvenirs."

"Huff, huff—"

"You can even take it home as a souvenir!"

Subconsciously, he sat a little further away from Xiaogang, the uncle continued.

"If you're incredibly lucky and dig up a Pokémon fossil, the park supposedly will pay for its revival for free..."

"Wow—such a good thing!" ×2

Ash was startled and immediately synchronized with Brock.

"Hey, you two—"

Xiaoxia weakly held her forehead.

"Can you please not get so agitated?"

"Xiaoxia, you don't understand!" Xiaozhi turned his head, his face serious. "A fossil resurrected! An ancient Pokémon!"

"And it's a life form born from a rock!" Brock added, his voice trembling. "The romance of Rock-type Pokémon is something a Water-type Trainer like you would never understand!"
