Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

The first thing Nanfeng thought of was to challenge the dojo.

The gym in the Carlos region has already been shut down.

Eight badges and five secret techniques will greatly enhance my overall strength. And this world isn't just limited to the Kalo and Hoenn regions.

I've only managed to beat the Enju Gym in the Johto region, which I've visited before; there are still seven gyms I haven't beaten yet.

After defeating the gym leader, you can head directly to the right, which leads to the Kanto region.

A region has eight gyms, which means there are eight badges, and eight badges mean an 80% attribute bonus, even if that 80% attribute bonus is divided into eight different attributes.

And then there are the secret teachings.

But the resulting increase in strength is undeniable.

With a few days left before heading to the Winterland Gym for the challenge, I went to one Gym in the morning and another in the afternoon, taking down all the Gym Leaders in the Johto and Kanto regions.

Let's do it!

However, before that, Nanfeng needs to harvest the tree fruits, then complete the monthly Volcano Project instance before heading to the Johto region.

After all, it would take the Elf Flyer two days to fly over 037.

Go to the Volcano Project and fight the Crimson Pine again.

With one surfing move, not only did the Crimson Pine extinguish, but the South Wind almost extinguished the entire volcano.

This time, the reward is a "Black Belt" level treasure-grade spirit item.

Violent Kill Black Belt: Increases the power of Fighting-type moves by 40%, and increases the power of the first Fighting-type move used within 24 hours by 50%.

Currently, the only Fighting-type Pokémon in Nanfeng's lineup are Blaziken and Mega Kingle.

The Blaziken has already absorbed the Fire-type Treasure-level Pokémon item "Thunderbolt Charcoal" that it obtained earlier. Its Fire-type moves will have Electric-type damage and can also trigger paralysis.

The ultimate skill, Black Belt, can be reattached to it, allowing it to continue absorbing.

But... after thinking about it, Nanfeng decided to hand over the Violent Kill Black Belt to Super Power King.

With the already formidable power of its Aura Sphere, coupled with this additional 90% boost, it feels like it could instantly defeat any Pokémon of the same level that is not resistant to Fighting-type moves.

As for Blaziken and Greninja mastering Aura Sphere and being able to use Aura Sphere in the future, then we can find a Fighting-type Secret Treasure Pokémon item at that time.

(The future version of Super Power King, "Iron Arm," appeared in Zhu Zi, which is quite interesting.)

237. The Future Path of Hyperactive Apes

"Gyarados, give it another push!" Nanfeng pulled on the rope, his feet on the racing boat, with Greninja at the other end of the rope.

If you want a real challenge in surfing, you need Greninja. If you let Gyarados go first, there's no excitement at all; it's like you're standing on a boat.

"Roar~~" Gyarados roared and summoned a wave of waves.

The towering waves surged forward, and the South Wind and Greninja took advantage of this momentum to move forward in the waves, drifting gracefully through the receding waves.

By the time the waves receded, the south wind and the Koga grebes had already crossed more than a hundred meters away.

"Awesome!" Nanfeng shouted joyfully.

Going for a surf ride every morning is incredibly refreshing.

After so many days of training, his surfing skills have become increasingly proficient.

I feel that as long as I choose the right time to go to the Water City, winning the Masters tournament is only a matter of time.

After getting off the racing boat and stretching, Nanfeng went back inside to have breakfast, take a shower, and begin her leisurely day.

I just got off the racing boat.

A white figure suddenly darted in front of Nanfeng.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!!"

Hmm? A combination of the calls of a turkey and a croaking frog?

Nanfeng then realized that the creature standing in front of him was an hyperactive ape.

"It evolved?" Nanfeng was surprised. The lazy otter he had gotten from Qianli had been lazy for so many days, but it had finally evolved.

Pull out its properties panel to view it.

Hyperactive ape (normal)

【Level: 18】

[Ability: Motivation (Pokémon with this ability cannot fall asleep, and Sleep Moves are ineffective.)]

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Yawn, Make a fuss, Scratch, Cleave, Hold on, Gather Energy, One more time]

[Items to carry: none]

It turns out that even if a Pokémon doesn't fight, it will gradually become stronger just by eating, drinking, and sleeping.

However, the speed at which his lazy otter was getting stronger was a bit beyond Nanfeng's expectations. Nanfeng thought he would have to wait another six months before he could see the Animal Ape, so he was mentally prepared to only be able to use the Slaking King in the very late game.

I didn't expect the process to be so quick.

What I need to do next is to make as much progress as possible in terms of moves as possible before Hyperactive Apex evolves into Slaking.

To this end, Nanfeng had already prepared sufficient training materials for the hyperactive apes.

They were also sorted according to their importance.

The most important training point is to learn two techniques that allow you to use other moves based on the "Expanding Power" and "Super Strength" moves. You must learn these. Qianli's Slaking has already set a good example for Nanfeng.

To be honest, the thought of Nanfeng going back to challenge that level 70 "Slave King" is still a bit nerve-wracking.

With a base attack stat of 160, it surpasses even legendary Pokémon in the game.

In reality, Slaking can't reach the level of a legendary Pokémon, but it can easily defeat a bunch of pseudo-legendary Pokémon like it's nothing.

To this day, Nanfeng's method for gaining experience at the Orange Blossom Gym and defeating Slacker is not to confront him head-on.

If it weren't for the fact that the training manual forbade giving an Aldous Apex a "Persistent Stone," Nanfeng really wanted to give it an Everstone and let it evolve into Slaking after it learned the top-tier technique of "Strength + Contact Moves + Power Shot."

If it stays too long in the hyperactive ape stage, full of energy, it will probably become even lazier when it reaches the slacking-off stage.

Therefore, whether or not one can master the top-tier technique of "super strength + contact moves + power generation" depends solely on the ape's own comprehension.

Nanfeng remembers that Ape evolved into Slaking at level 36.

From a lazy otter to an hyperactive ape, it takes thirteen levels, although the next eighteen levels require more experience. However, the hyperactive ape will spend these eighteen levels in training, so this time will probably not be longer than the lazy otter's thirteen levels of idleness and complacency.

Time is crucial.

The second most important point is that the learning progress of the Aura Force must be pushed forward to at least the point where one can use the Aura Missile.

The second point was added by Nanfeng after testing the Lazy Otter's ability to use waveguides a while ago. Since it has waveguide talent, wouldn't it be a waste not to learn wave missiles?

You may not need to use it, but you must learn it!

Thirdly, try to improve your proficiency with the moves as much as possible.

Nanfeng originally wanted the hyperactive ape to learn some skills to increase its attack range.

But thinking about it, even though Apexis rarely learns moves after evolving into Slaking, I don't need to force it. I can use the skill cooldown to make it skip the learning process.

Take, for example, the cooldowns of all my previous moves.

When it was a lazy otter, Nanfeng didn't teach it to learn, but now it's an hyperactive ape...

Nanfeng opened the skill cooldown bar in his game inventory and used it directly on the hyperactive ape.

It immediately learned: Aura Blast, Thunder, Blizzard, and Flame Burst.

Of the seven skills purchased in Lilycove City, it can learn four immediately.

There are three more moves: Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, and Stone Edge. Stone Edge is indeed unlearnable, but Hyper Beam and Giga Impact can be learned once Apexis evolves into Slaking.

In the defensive skills, you can also learn the skill "Guard".

The problem of assigning moves to the Slave King isn't too big; you can teach it other moves later when their cooldowns are up.

Therefore, what Nanfeng needs to do is to master the moves that it will mainly use after evolving into Slaking during the Hyperactive Ape stage, and improve its proficiency in the moves.

The power of waveguides cannot be mastered overnight; the wave missile technique needs to be practiced slowly.

However, the secret technique of this lineage, "Super Strength," is a core move, and the higher the proficiency level, the better.

Then came the STAB (Single-Type) attacks that Nanfeng had specially chosen for it: Megaton Punch and Mount Tai Slam. The moves were powerful but not particularly difficult to execute, uttering only the words "eager to learn" and "fierce."

The burst attack uses the STAB move "Quick Attack". This isn't a big problem; while Hyperactive Sarutobi and Slaking can't learn Agility or Extreme Speed, learning Quick Attack is still no problem.

Moreover, with the lightning flash and Nanfeng's skill cooldown, it's as fast as a beginner's skill. If the hyperactive ape uses it a lot, it can also build up some proficiency in advance.

The "Million-Ton Punch" and "Mount Tai Press" moves are a bit troublesome. I need to go to the school's skills teaching center to see if there are any teachers who can teach these two moves.

238. Ancient Clan Martial Arts Hall

"Teacher, do you have any Pokémon that can use Mega Punch and Mount Tai Press?" Nanfeng called Teacher Bai Wenru.

Because the skills teaching center at Qiantang University is not capable of teaching techniques such as million-ton boxing and Mount Tai pressing down.

"What kind of spirit do you want to raise?" Bai Wenru asked.

“I’m laying the groundwork for the hyperactive ape to evolve into Slaking,” Nanfeng said truthfully.

"Slaking... Hmm, I recommend someone to you. He's quite proficient with Normal-type Pokémon and seems to have trained Slaking before." With that, Bai Wenru hung up the phone and sent a business card to Nanfeng via Fetion.

The business card's title depicted an old man in white sitting on the ground, with the character "Quiet" (静) pasted on the wall behind him, and the name "Mind Monkey" (心猿).

Nanfeng recalled the last time Professor Bai Wenru recommended Senior Dong Yan to her.

Could this person also be a superstar?

That's probably not the case. There are no Normal-type Elite Four members in the Dragon Kingdom. And I haven't heard of any trainer raising a particularly outstanding Slaking.

However, to be a friend of Professor Bai Wenru, one must be a person of considerable standing.

Nanfeng quickly added the other person as a friend and sent them a message.

Gu Mou who can't fly: Hello, Master, are you there?

If the profile picture is of the person themselves, then calling themselves "Master" is perfectly acceptable.

Heart Monkey: Are you Nanfeng, Xiaobai's student?

037

noob!!!

Nanfeng looked shocked.

To call Bai Wenru "Little Bai" is an understatement!

Who is this person?!

This person might be even more impressive than Senior Dong Yan!

"I am Nanfeng, a student of Teacher Bai Wenru." Nanfeng tried to type out the teacher's full name to avoid the other party mistaking him.

Heart Monkey: Okay, then come find me now, before 1 o'clock. If you're late...

Heart Monkey: Then I'll go to sleep.

As he spoke, he sent me an address.

Not far away, in the old city area of ​​southern Qiantang.

Nanfeng silently wiped away his sweat, wondering if there would be some punishment for being late.

Looking at the time, it's only 10 a.m., so there are still 3 hours left, plenty of time.

Let's go now, I don't have anything else to do anyway.

South Wind recalled the elves and prepared to depart.

Just after I retrieved the elves, I immediately received a call from Teacher Bai Wenru, asking me to come to his place to pick up some things before I went back.

Upon arriving at the principal's office, Nanfeng saw Teacher Bai Wenru hand him a small wine jar.

"Give this to him as tuition," Bai Wenru said without saying much, and sent Nanfeng away after giving him the wine jar.
