My Pokémon changes freely

Oh no, it should be the most satisfying choice she has ever made.

As for whether it is right or not, it is not important at all. The feeling of satisfaction comes quickly, but it also goes away quickly. The greedy nature of human beings makes Xingcai desire more beautiful things.

Chapter 74: First Exploration of Shangfang Mountain

Beijing Shangfang Mountain is about 70 kilometers away from downtown Beijing.

This distance is undoubtedly the suburbs for Pokémon trainers.

Due to the previous wars, the Pokémon secret realms around these imperial capitals are actually restricted by the Lord of the Secret Realm, so it seems that the expansion is not serious.

The same is true for this ghost secret realm. Xingcai can clearly see the entire picture of the mountain above.

"As for the secret realm, it's halfway up the mountain. Do you want to fly up?" Shi Lu's words made Xingcai look at Xin Han again, and then a bitter face made Shi Lu couldn't help laughing.

Then, Xingcai waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's not embarrass Xin Han. Let's go. There's no rush anyway."

Shi Lu nodded, "I originally thought you might not be willing to come, so I planned to let you go up and experience it as soon as possible."

Xingcai also smiled immediately, "You don't have to think so much about us."

Xin Han said, "Don't listen to Xing Cai. This is fine. But it's better to speak out. If you don't, we won't know what you are planning."

What Xin Han said was quite pertinent. She has always been so open and forthright, never hiding anything.

Whenever Xingcai sees Xin Han now, she misses the introverted and reserved Xin Han three years ago.

At that time, Xin Han didn't know how to hit people with the ball, and she wasn't as cheerful and cheerful as she is now. So for Xing Cai at that time, she was very interested in this special existence.

All children are competitive, and Xingcai's competitive spirit at that time was about making friends.

There were too many regrets in the previous life, and Xingcai hoped to fulfill every wish in this life.

There are nine caves on Shangfang Mountain in Beijing. The most famous one, which is also regarded as the entrance to the secret realm of Pokémon, is Yunshui Cave. The closer Xingcai got to the foot of the mountain, the more lively it became.

This trip was different from previous ones, because they followed Shi Lu, Xingcai and Xin Han and tasted a lot of delicious mountain food.

After taking a rough look at the structure of the entire mountain, it can be basically said that Xingcai has already figured out the structure of Shangfang Mountain.

The mountain gate is not at the main entrance, but halfway up the mountain. To walk from the bottom of the mountain to the halfway point requires a lot of personal initiative.

After replenishing his strength, Xingcai took the lead and walked towards the ghost secret realm.

Shi Lu followed closely behind, and only Xin Han was leisurely. But this was normal, Xin Han usually looked so casual when traveling.

Xingcai walked in front, followed by Shi Lu and Xin Han, and the three of them soon arrived at the mountain gate.

"This stone gate is really magnificent." Xin Han exclaimed, "It's great to be able to play here today!"

Xingcai didn't say anything, she just felt the cool breeze brought by this autumn.

"Shi Lu, you have been traveling for a while, right? How do you feel about it?" Xingcai asked Shi Lu as she walked slowly.

Shi Lu couldn't help but sigh at this time, "Traveling is indeed a good thing, but when you are alone outside, there will inevitably be some problems."

“Many times, when I encountered interesting things or beautiful scenery, I had no one to share them with.”

"Then you have it now!" Xin Han handed over the phone almost immediately, "Come on, you can share these things with me in the future!"

Xingcai nodded as well, and her Rotom phone flew out by itself. "I remember you also use Rotom, so just write down Xinhan's phone number."

The three of them looked at each other and then burst out laughing.

There is only one previously built ring road that goes up the mountain from the mountain gate halfway up the mountain.

If you ride your Pokémon all the way along the road, it can actually be very tiring.

In fact, Xingcai, Shilu and Xinhan were not willing to go this way. But there was no cable car here. If Xingcai and the others wanted to go up, they could only climb the rocks instead of walking along the mountain road.

However, in reality, apart from Shachima who has dual swords, they don't have any Pokémon that are particularly capable of rock climbing.

Banglas has pure short arms, and it would be great if it really could climb.

Of course, in addition to Bangilas, Shi Lu also has other Pokémon that can climb. If things really don’t work out, Hong Mingyue can take her up there.

Xin Han is the only one who is helpless. She doesn't have any flying Pokémon among her Pokémon. As for rock climbing, the limbs of bug-type Pokémon are generally recognized to be short.

"Ahhh!!! So in the end, I was the one who slowed down the progress!" Xin Han walked helplessly with the two of them on the mountain road.

They finally chose to go up along the mountain road.

"It seems that fewer and fewer humans are coming to this Shangfang Mountain and that secret realm." Xingcai continued chatting with Shi Lu.

Shi Lu also nodded and said, "Well, I just remembered this secret realm because Yu Guanjun told me about it. The ghost-related secret realm is indeed not very popular."

In fact, the gloomy ghost type has never been very popular. Even though Gengar is actually a very cute Pokémon, people don't seem to be able to accept it. Xingcai figured it out on her own at the first opportunity.

Ghosts and gods have always been something that people should stay away from. Ghost Pokémon obviously completely breaks this aspect of thinking and makes people change their usual way of thinking, which is itself a very uncomfortable thing. Naturally, people don't have any good feelings towards ghost Pokémon.

Xingcai naturally did not agree with this idea.

Anyway, for her, the only difference between any Pokémon is family and passers-by in her eyes.

She won't even pay attention to what passers-by say, but once they become a family, Xingcai will help it become an excellent Pokémon.

No matter what the attributes of the Pokémon are, as long as Wangba and Ludou are attracted to each other, Xingcai will never be stingy with his talent.

"At this rate, we may not be able to reach the entrance to the secret realm until the evening." Shi Lu calculated the progress briefly, "Should we speed up a bit?"

Xingcai looked at the sky, then turned to look at Xin Han, and then said, "I brought a tent."

Obviously, Xingcai had already prepared for camping in the wild.

The sun was not bright, but the temperature was not dropping. This was especially obvious at noon.

Xingcai and the other two walked up from halfway up the mountain, and they soon saw some pretty nice scenery.

"I never thought that I could overlook the entire imperial capital from here!" Xin Han said in surprise. She jumped up and down on the side of the road. "Is this probably what it feels like to be at the top of a mountain and see all the other mountains?"

Shi Lu and Xing Cai looked at Xin Han, then looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but laugh.

Chapter 75: Shi Lu's Reservation

"Well, it feels like I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time. My skills are a little rusty." Xingcai stretched. She was obviously tired. You know, even after staying in the secret realm for seven days, Xingcai didn't feel that tired.

Xingcai felt a little tired just from climbing a mountain, but she was in much better condition than Shilu.

Although Shi Lu didn't say anything, she was already far behind Xingcai and Xin Han.

This was mainly because even on the road, Shi Lu had never walked such a long distance, and the soles of her feet felt like they were about to be torn apart.

Shi Lu, who has no travel experience, is in a very awkward situation. She doesn't know how to deal with the current situation.

But Xingcai soon understood Shi Lu's troubles, "Actually, according to my understanding, this kind of thing is relatively simple to solve."

"First of all, if you want to alleviate the symptoms, you should try not to put your entire foot on the ground directly. There should be a process from the toes to the heels." Xingcai continued, "You may still feel pain at the beginning, but after walking more and getting used to it, you will no longer feel the pain."

Shi Lu tried Xingcai's method, and she soon discovered that her arch still felt like it was being torn apart when it touched the ground.

Xingcai knew that this was flat feet. Generally speaking, children in big cities are more likely to suffer from flat feet.

After all, it was the first time for the parents to be parents, and they were probably not aware of these things, but simply wanted to love their children. Obviously, Shi Lu was such a carefully cared-for child.

"We can't help it. According to your current condition, you will probably be in pain for several days." Xingcai gave Shi Lu a conclusion, "But, you have been traveling for a while before, right? Why is your flat feet so serious?"

Shi Lu just glanced at Xin Han, and Xing Cai understood. So Shi Lu's trip was really just a stroll? Did she not touch the ground at all, relying on Hong Mingyue to fly around the whole time?

Xingcai was speechless for a moment, and Shi Lu was also a little embarrassed. She said honestly: "I really didn't know I had to walk like this before."

"It's okay. I didn't know it before, so I'll learn it now." Xin Han didn't mind at all. "It's not a big deal. Our goal is still the Ghost Secret Realm. When we get in, we'll need you, a local, to talk more."

Xin Han’s meaning was simple: Shi Lu obviously didn’t know how to chat.

Shi Lu was embarrassed by Xin Han's words. She knew it was not good to keep silent, but she didn't know what to say.

Along the way, Xingcai has been trying to find ways to bring up topics to avoid embarrassment, but unfortunately, as it stands, this idea doesn't seem to be very successful yet.

In response, Xing Cai complained directly to Xin Han: "How dare you criticize others? Aren't you the same? You don't say a word, and I have to find topics to talk about!"

Xin Han pouted as she spoke, "I'll try to find a topic. I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed."

"What did you say?" Xingcai didn't hear Xin Han's words clearly for a moment, but always felt that Xin Han was saying something strange.

Xin Han just smiled and said nothing more and ran forward.

Xingcai shook her head helplessly. She said to Shi Lu, "Xinhan has always been like this. Don't mind it."

Shi Lu herself said a little embarrassedly: "I certainly don't mind. After all, it was me who asked you to come. I should thank you."

Xingcai shook her head. "That's nothing, but from what I heard from you, Shilu, do you have no friends in the imperial capital?"

Shi Lu couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "Do you think anyone would be willing to be with a genius and become a passerby who sets off her talent?"

Xingcai naturally knew what Shi Lu meant, but she did not expect that Shi Lu's environment would be so difficult.

Shi Lu was also filled with emotion. She slowly said, "Actually, I didn't want this to happen at first. But there's nothing I can do. When everyone is rejecting you, everything you say and do is redundant."

Xingcai couldn't quite empathize with this.

Because she once didn't even have the chance to get along with people of her age. Fortunately, she met Xin Han in this life, and she learned to get along with people of her age little by little since elementary school.

"In that case, let Xin Han and I be your first friends!" Xing Cai said with a smile, "Don't look down on me because I'm from the countryside."

Shi Lu immediately shook her head like a rattle, and she quickly said, "No, no, absolutely not!"

Shi Lu said softly, "I don't have any talent. It's my honor to be friends with you all." Xing Cai was immediately upset when she heard this. How could Shi Lu have the nerve to say this? Even though many of Shi Lu's things were taken from home, this did not deny her talent.

In the battle between Xingcai and Shi Lu, Shi Lu undoubtedly showed her talent.

Shi Lu's fighting sense is absolutely first-rate. She almost cracked Xin Han's moves several times. However, when facing Xingcai, she was still led in a wrong direction by Xingcai during the competition.

In fact, even with the blessing of the power of sand at that time, Xingcai's Shachima could not deal with the Booming King Kong Ape and Bangilas with just two kicks of [Earthquake].

However, because Shi Lu was unaware of the hidden effect of the green grass field, she did not respond immediately. Instead, she was stepped on by Xingcai's Shaqima and caused multiple [earthquakes], which directly led to the failure of the countermeasures.

In fact, Shi Lu came to ask about this matter afterwards, because she realized that the strength of Xingcai's Shaqima [Earthquake] was not quite the same as she had imagined.

In fact, Xingcai has done this kind of "stealing damage" operation many times.

To give a simple example, Xiao Zi's Ice and Fire Fists can actually cause damage at the same time. In addition, the delayed release of [Thousand Changes] allows Xiao Zi to use several skills at the same time.

When Shaqima used [Earthquake], she stepped on it with her left and right feet in a cycle, and in fact, the effect of multiple [Earthquakes] appeared.

In the end, Xingcai chose a more direct approach. She grabbed Shi Lu's hand and pulled her forward.

"I won't stop walking with you just because your soles hurt." Xingcai smiled. Shi Lu looked at Xingcai's face. Her skin was not white, but her healthy complexion was very impressive. Her beautiful long hair also made Shi Lu realize that she would probably never forget this sincere girl.

Chapter 76: Ghost Secret Realm

After going through untold hardships, the three finally reached the top of the mountain above.

Xingcai and Xinhan were panting, and Shilu had completely lost her ability to move. Her feet were in so much pain that she couldn't move at all, so she had to let Nian Meilong carry her.

"Oh, we're finally here." Xin Han put her hands on her hips, obviously exhausted. And Xing Cai didn't respond to Xin Han's thoughts at all. She was still a little tired after climbing a mountain for so long.

Shi Lu could only raise her hand and give a thumbs up to show her respect for Xin Han.

"Well, considering the time, should we take a break or go in now?" Xingcai asked after a slight adjustment. She had already taken out a portable tent from Shaqima's backpack, obviously preparing to stay in the secret realm for one night.

"Well... it's pretty good, but I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring a tent!" Xin Han pointed at Xingcai's tent and said, "Is this a two-person tent?"

Xingcai waved her hand confidently, "Don't worry, this tent is big enough. Even if Xiao Zi and Yu Ji are added, it won't be too crowded."

Suddenly, Xin Han, who was originally quite happy, could only put away his smile in disappointment.

But at this time, Xingcai suddenly came to Xin Han's side and asked, "What? Are you disappointed? Would you be happy if I asked you to keep watch at night while Shi Lu and I sleep inside?"

Almost immediately, Xin Han's face turned red, and Xingcai knew at the first moment that she was anxious.

Yes, if Xin Han was shy, her face would definitely not turn red so quickly.

Even though Xingcai was joking, Xin Han was obviously anxious because of this sentence.

However, before she could get angry, Shi Lu said softly: "How can that be possible? If it's a two-person tent, I should be the one keeping watch!"

As she spoke, Shi Lu said with a little excitement: "I haven't experienced night watch yet, it must be very interesting, right?"

How can one sentence kill Xin Han? Answer: Please refer to Shi Lu.

Just this one sentence, Xin Han was completely unable to vent his anger. In this moment, Xin Han went through a lot of happy things in his mind, and finally completely relieved his angry emotions.

"Next time you're in a hurry, just say it out. It's uncomfortable to hold it in." Xingcai immediately teased Xin Han again when she saw him cool down. It was important to say it or not. Only close friends like Xingcai and Xin Han could do such excessive teasing without causing any conflicts.

At this time, Xin Han was no longer in a hurry. She also knew that Xingcai was joking, but at that time, Xingcai's tone really made her a little unbearable.

However, after seeing how innocent Shi Lu was, she realized that she shouldn't have been so impatient.

No one else realizes what happened, why is she so anxious?
