Pokémon development strategy

Shen Qi woke up from his dream and found Duoduo in his arms was also sleeping.

Didn’t this Lego duck say that he wouldn’t need to sleep if he changed his soul?

"Duoduo, how long have I slept?"

6 hours.

"so long?!"

The deep feeling of fatigue accumulated in the body didn't seem to be relieved much, it felt like I just closed my eyes for a while.

I quickly got up and looked towards the direction of Waterfall No. 2. Gyarados appeared with his mouth wide open and his signature expression as if his jaw was dislocated.

"The rescue team is pretty fast."

It was a great achievement for Lucia to reach Route 10 within 114 hours.

Even if you are lucky enough to meet other explorers, you have to go outside to call for help, and then the rescue team will come in and head straight to the No. 2 Falls.

In theory, it shouldn't be that fast.

Even if we add the 6 hours of sleep Shen Qi just had, the speed is still very fast.

When Shen Qi saw the tall and handsome man on the back of Gyarados, everything made sense.

Mikoli!

Having won the T2 championship in the Hoenn region, how could it not be fast when T1 level players came to the rescue?

Considering that Lucia is Mikoli's niece, his visit is indeed understandable.

But, we are here to save people, can you please dress more normally?

Mikoli's classic outfit is a white vest with a purple vest lined inside. The length only reaches the bottom of the chest muscles, and it is "cool" from the ribs all the way to the pants.

There's something wrong with the pants too. The slits on both sides of the white pants are so wide that the pelvic line is exposed.

Pants like this will definitely fall down, so I use green straps to cross them and hang them up...

"Hey, boy."

A strand of Mikoli's hair fluttered on the side of her cheek as she ran towards Shen Qi lightly.

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Shen Qi stepped back subconsciously. "It's just muscle fatigue at best. Brother Fossil Maniac over there has a broken bone."

"learn."

During the brief conversation, a jewel starfish and a grouper fish swam upstream. Their trainers were all pretty girls.

He should be a member of the Liuli Gym, and Mikoli himself has a lot of fans.

Along with the gym members came two Miss Joys.

There are 5 trainers in total. They are not a professional rescue team, but their efficiency is much higher than calling a rescue team.

Miss Joy and their Chansey began to check on the wounded, and the members of the Glaze Gym released water Pokémon to catch Slowpoke.

"Mr. Mikri."

"Shen Qi."

They called out to each other almost simultaneously, and then they were both stunned.

Mikoli smiled gently, with nebulae floating in his eyes.

"Just call me by my name, and ask the questions first."

"Nice to meet you. How's Lukia?"

"Fortunately, thanks to you, my niece is strong enough to run to Mayumi's place in the early morning."

After giving the story in a casual manner, Mikoli covered his chest with his delicate hands, leaned forward and bowed, performing a salute elegantly and with full respect.

"Hey, hey, don't be so polite." Shen Qi quickly persuaded.

What ability does he have to make Mikoli bow 90 degrees?

"If it weren't for Rukia, I might have suffered as well."

When besieged by wild Pokémon, Shen Qi managed to hold on, but was unable to end the situation.

Fortunately, Lukia, who had been disconnected, reconnected and used the Poké Ball to interrupt the skills of wild Pokémon, which enabled them to turn defeat into victory.

Mikoli's smile was full of charm, "An interesting boy."

"Nothing."

"Rukia told me that there is a very authentic ancient Hoenn region sacrificial rune on the No. 2 waterfall. Do you know where it is?"

"know."

Mikoli did not elaborate on Lucia's health condition, but after hearing this, Shen Qi felt much more at ease.

The stone runes may not change even after thirty years, so your life is of course more important.

If her physical condition was extremely bad, there was no way that Lukia could explain to Mikoli about the sacrificial rune, and Mikoli would not be so calm in looking for the rune.

"It's on the stone platform over there. I'll take you there."

Shen Qi stood up, his hands and feet felt a little sore, probably because he didn't get enough rest.

Other than some scratches that have been treated, there is nothing serious.

The wooden bridge broke, and Gyarados stretched its body out from the outside of the rock, directly reaching out to the stone platform.

Mikoli, who was riding on the back of Gyarados, was sent to the other side.

Shen Qi knew what was on the stone platform, so he had no intention of following and just watched Mikoli from this side.

The slender and elegant silhouette squatted down, Mikoli narrowed his eyes, his long and neat eyelashes drooped slightly, and the nebulae floating in his eyes became bright and solid.

He looked deeply at the runes carved on the stone platform and knew that they were not simple.

"Shen Qi, are there any similar symbols around?"

"I'm not sure. Not counting the entrance to Meteor Falls, I only saw this one."

"It looks like we need to investigate it carefully."

Shen Qi was actually quite curious. If a Xijiana was found in the ordinary world line, what would her family background be, or was Xijiana a time traveler?

As a player, this is all you know about Xijiana.

She never appeared in the first week, and appeared in the second week's interlude - Delta plot. After a long time of trouble, the players finally got their destiny, and there was no follow-up to Xijiana at the end of the plot.

Therefore, Shen Qi confirmed that there is no meteorite about to fall in the world at present, and the subsequent investigation into the Xijiana mystery depends on Mikoli and others.

Or maybe Shen Qi guessed wrong. With such a clear direction, the answer was not Xijiana.

There is no further information to think about regarding Xijiana, and the same is true for Meteor Falls.

The wooden bridge above the No. 2 waterfall can roughly locate the only wooden bridge in the Meteor Falls map in the game.

The difference is that in the game there is a waterfall, then a wooden bridge on the calm water, a second waterfall, and an opening on the left side of the waterfall.

This doesn't match.

"Mikoli, what's in the depths of Meteor Falls?"

"Who knows."

The deeper you go, the more complicated the cave becomes. Sometimes it looks like a dead end, but you can find a way to survive underwater.

And over time, the terrain will continue to change, such as what happened to Falls No. 2.

Mikoli said that both Doctors Daigo and Solans, father and son, had only explored four large waterfalls, so how could they know what was in the deepest part of the Meteor Falls area.

"Ok?"

There is a strong flying energy surging in the air.

Shen Qi had a 49% proficiency in flying energy coordination and also felt it.

The Tanabata Bluebird flapped its wings and flew to the No. 2 Waterfall.

The gently unfolding "Flying" skill halo supported the two ladies.

One of them is wearing plain clothes and a helmet decorated with wings. Her light purple ponytail sways in the wind, making her look elegant and agile.

The leader of the Inyu Gym, Nachi... Mikoli's ex-girlfriend.

Looking at it this way, the two have the temperaments of noble mountains and flowing water, and the elegant music of the piano, which is a perfect match.

Of course, it would be better if Mikoli wore normal clothes.

The other girl that Qixi Bluebird brought was not dressed up at all. Her hands and feet were covered with bandages and there was gauze on her face.

"Lucia?!" Shen Qi was very surprised, "Why did you come back?"

"I...I'm worried about...Slowpoke."

Chapter 396: Red-Faced Dragon's Recognition

"Really."

Mikoli looked at his niece who was brought here and shook his head helplessly, "You are also joining in the fun."

Naqi's eyes were a little evasive, and she turned her head to respond, "Lukia is worried about Slowpoke, so she can't rest well. With me taking care of her, she doesn't need to expend energy."

"Just pamper her."

After saying a few simple words, Mikoli pulled his collar, turned around and looked around, as if looking for other sacrificial runes, but his eyes would glance towards Naqi from time to time.

Naqi was in a similar situation, wandering around, always pretending to look at Mikoli casually. She was not a member of the Glass Clan, could not understand the ancient ritual texts of Hoenn, and had no idea what she was wandering around for.

Shen Qi, standing nearby, was scratching his head anxiously. Will these two die if they greet each other?

Can't you say something nice?

After about ten minutes, the condition of the fossil-crazy brothers had improved significantly, and they had been bandaged almost completely. They could be taken outside to recover slowly.

Mikoli didn't find any other clues about the stone carvings, so this matter couldn't be rushed in a day or two.

The one that worries people the most is Slowpoke.

The members of the Liuli Gym searched for a long time, and the Water Pokémon searched the waters above the No. 2 Waterfall thoroughly, but still found no trace of Slowpoke.

The most likely and worst outcome: Slowpoke is swept away by the whirlpool and into the underground river.

"Can you sense it?" Shen Qi asked Lukia who was lying on the back of the Qixi Bluebird.

She was wrapped up like a mummy and shook her head stiffly. "Slowpoke's Poké Ball is damaged and can't sense."

The Poké Ball can be enlarged and shrunk. A regular Poké Ball is about the size of an apple, but when shrunk it becomes the size of a walnut, making it easier to store close to your body.

At that time, Lukia summoned Slowpoke, and held the Poké Ball in her hand. It was not like the Poké Balls of other Pokémon that were shrunk and stored in the small bag behind the belt.

For a moment, Shen Qi didn't know how to comfort Lucia.

Even if Slowpoke is still alive, with that brain, it would be difficult for it to find itself back.

At most, the people of Liuli will continue to explore Meteor Falls and discover Slowpoke by chance during the long process.

For Lukia, this trip to Meteor Falls was a disaster.

Shen Qi wanted to say something...

To say that it was Shen Qi's fault and that Lukia came to Meteor Falls because of Shen Qi is too far-fetched.

It’s like if you want to travel and your friend asks to go with you, and then he breaks his leg accidentally, the responsibility will not be on you.

However, Shen Qi always felt that he should say something to comfort her, but he couldn't.

Firstly, any consolation would be in vain, and secondly, I really have nothing to say. I can't just say, "Believe that Slowpoke will come back."

"Lukia." Finally, it was the team leader Mikoli who spoke up, "Let's go back. Exploring Meteor Falls is a very long process. We can't rush for success."

Miss Joy had already treated the wounded and they needed to be transported out. There was no need to delay in the harsh environment.

Of course, Lukia understood the truth and nodded silently. She wrapped her arms around the slender blue neck of the Tanabata Bluebird and buried her face in its soft feathers.

"Oh." Naqi sighed, stroked Lukia's head, and didn't say much.

The flying energy surged, and just as the Qixi Bluebird was about to activate the "Flying" skill aura, a crack appeared on the rock not far away.
