Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

In the game, Totem-sized Pokémon obtained from Professor Oak will have at least 3 VI from the start, and if the Pokémon has a hidden ability, it will definitely have that ability.

If the same applies to the Totem Pokémon you acquire through trading.

That could be a surprise at the next South Wind Breeding House Pokémon Sale!

Of course, this is based on the premise that Nanfeng has no interest in training them. If he wanted to train them, then of course he would keep them.

I remember in one version you could exchange the Overlord sticker for a pseudo-legendary dragon-type character.

Since the goal is to find Totem Stickers to exchange for a Totem Pokémon, Nanfeng isn't in a hurry to go find Hala immediately. He'll first collect all the Totem Stickers in his starting city, Haulownia, to avoid having to run back and forth.

It has to be said that finding the overlord sticker is a very time-consuming task.

Some of the "Overlord" stickers were placed in seemingly inconspicuous locations that could be easily spotted with a close look, such as the corner between a hair salon and a clothing store, the right side of a Malasada chain store, and the right side of the city government building.

However, some are a bit tricky. For example, it's lying on the pond to the right of NPC Ilima's house, and you need to use a fishing rod to fish up the Overlord sticker. Or it's on the far right bookshelf in the innermost room on the second floor of NPC Ilima's house.

If the south wind hadn't swept through every building, it would have been impossible to see it.

It took Nanfeng more than an hour to finally finish searching the entire city of Haole'ao.

There are only 11.

Nanfeng remembers that every 20 cards could be exchanged for a Totem Pokémon from Cheng Ye? Da Mu. There are a total of 100 cards, which means you can exchange them for 5 Totem Pokémon.

Eleven cards in a little over an hour, a hundred cards would only take about ten hours. In Alora, not every city is as big as Haoleo.

Put away the 11 Overlord stickers and head south towards Lili Town.

I found two Overlord stickers in the orchard along the way.

Three more Overlord stickers were found on Route 2.

Nanfeng060 already has sixteen Totem stickers, just one step away from getting his first Totem Pokémon.

After passing through Route 2, Route 3, and then Route 1, we finally arrived at Lily Town.

Along the way, we encountered many elves that were not found in other regions.

Nanfeng immediately took out his notebook and wrote down all the elves.

Route 2 is home to Alolan-like Meowth and Rattata, as well as Growlithe, Smeargle, and Casey, which are rare in other areas.

Nanfeng thought that if he wanted to catch Growlithe and put it on the ranch, he could come here to catch it.

Compared to Route 2, Route 3 has the addition of Delibird, Mankey, and Wrestling Hawkman, which makes Southwind wonder if she should find a companion for Delibird?

There are a lot of insects on Route 1.

There are green caterpillars, ladybugs, round spiders, and strong-jawed maggots.

The Mighty Gnatifly can eventually evolve into Vikadounon, which has extremely high Special Attack. When Nanfeng played the Sun/Moon version, he also trained it as an Electric-type Special Attacker.

With so many insects, there will naturally be birds that eat them.

Here you'll also find Alola's gatebird, Little Doogle.

(Bonus chapter failed. It's really hard to add extra chapters on weekends when you have to go out. I'll be home all day Monday, so I should be able to add an extra chapter then.)

282. The first stage of the island trek: "Lush Cave"

The town of Lili.

Nanfeng arrived in Lili Town and, without doing anything else, first searched for the Overlord stickers.

There is only one.

Okay, I've collected all 17!

Three more are needed.

Putting away the Overlord sticker, Nanfeng headed straight for Hala, the island king of Melemele Island.

This is an old man with a white beard, wearing a yellow jacket, white beach shorts, and flip-flops.

[Hala: Guest from afar, are you also here for the island pilgrimage?]

[Will you participate in the island pilgrimage?]

Nanfeng naturally chose to accept, and that's why he came here.

[Hala: Please accept the Island Pilgrimage Certificate, then head to the Lush Cave to find Captain Ilima and begin the trial on Melemele Island!]

As he spoke, Hala handed Nanfeng a talisman inlaid with four-colored gemstones.

This is the certificate for the island pilgrimage; you must possess it to begin the island pilgrimage.

Nanfeng accepted the certificate for the island tour and turned to leave.

Our first destination was a lush cave.

I've seen this place before when the south wind came; it's on Route 2.

Upon arriving at Route 2, a boy with pink hair and an elegant demeanor stands at the entrance of a lush cave.

Nanfeng stepped forward and spoke to him.

[Ilima: Welcome to the verdant cave, challenger!]

[Ilima: I am Captain Ilima!]

[Ilima: Well then, let me explain Ilima's test! Your task is to defeat all the Pokémon in the den, and then retrieve the Z-Crystal from the high platform in the cave!]

[Ilima: Are you ready for this test?]

A dungeon notification appeared in front of Nanfeng.

[Enter the "Lush Cave" instance (disappears upon first completion)]

Recommended entry level for this dungeon: 50

"The recommended level for the dungeon is so low?" Nanfeng was surprised. He thought that it should be comparable to the dojos in other regions, but now it seems that this is not the case.

After thinking it over, Nanfeng decided not to accept the offer and instead went to the Pokémon Center first.

Since it's already a level 50 dungeon, there's no need to use the main team anymore. Nanfeng decisively switched to the second team.

Returning, Nanfeng chose to enter.

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Nanfeng found himself in a vibrant cave.

The cave was exceptionally bright, as there was a large hole in the ceiling through which sunlight streamed in without reservation. Underfoot was a lush, green meadow, and around were layers of clearly defined rocks, on which were many Pokémon, but all of the same kind: Zangoose and its evolved form, "Zangoose Detective".

A dazzling light caught Nanfeng's attention.

On the highest step of the cave, a crystal reflected the sunlight, dazzlingly bright.

"That is your goal for this exam, Z Pure Crystal!" Captain Ilima, who had also entered the instance, leaned elegantly against the stone wall, holding a pocket watch in his hand as he reminded Nanfeng.

"This trial lasts for 30 minutes. You need to defeat all the Pokémon in the Lush Cave within this time and obtain the Z-Crystal. If you have not defeated all the Pokémon or obtained the Z-Crystal after 30 minutes, then I'm sorry, your trial will end in failure."

"By the way, since you're so handsome, I'll give you a little hint: Z-Crystals are rare treasures, so naturally they have powerful guardians!"

“Now, you may begin your test,” Ilima said, gently pressing the timing button on his pocket watch in front of Nanfeng.

A 30-minute countdown immediately appeared in the upper right corner of Nanfeng's view.

The elves throughout the lush cave began to grow restless.

Several meerkats jumped down from the rocky steps and slowly crawled towards Nanfeng step by step.

Nanfeng's gaze swept over the meerkats and meerkats, whose levels ranged from 35 to 45.

"Too weak," Nanfeng said, taking out a Poké Ball and releasing it.

A deafening roar echoed as the ground was struck.

A dazzling golden mountain appeared particularly glaring under the sunlight.

The Pokémon that appears is Aggron, the Shiny Gold version, which Nanfeng caught a long time ago!

"Rockfall!" Nanfeng raised his hand to give the order.

"Kora!!" Gold Boss Dora roared furiously.

In the previous battles, it was always the older brothers and sisters who took the lead; this time, it's finally its turn!

The sky above the lush cave was immediately shrouded in darkness, and rocks from another dimension began to fall, each the size of a fist and with sharp edges.

Despite its childlike personality, Tyranitar is the mainstay of Southwind and can be considered the elder brother of Aggron.

Aggron learned this move, Rock Slide, from Tyranitar.

The power is at its maximum!

The mongoose, who had intended to attack Nanfeng, felt the darkness and instinctively looked up.

The next second, an endless barrage of rocks, like a torrential downpour, buried them all in the blink of an eye. Even the mongoose detectives on the rocky steps!

One move and the whole field is wiped out.

Tsk tsk, Rock Slide is such a useful area-of-effect attack!

"."Meow!!!"

A sharp meow came from the high platform, and a meerkat detective emerged from a cave. It was three times the size of an ordinary meerkat detective, and its body exuded a faint aura. It glared angrily at Nanfeng and Yaojin Boss Dora!

This is the powerful Pokémon that Captain Ilima mentioned that protects Z-Crystals!

Dominator Elf - Detective Mongoose LV50.

"Destruction Ray!" Nanfeng commanded casually.

The Golden Boss Dora immediately opened its massive maw, and destructive energy instantly gathered within it.

Sensing the threat, the mongoose detective immediately jumped down from the platform and ran quickly toward Bosscodora, which was both an attack and a dodge.

"Bang!" The Destruction Ray erupted!

A dazzling beam of light pierced through the entire lush cave in an instant, striking the mongoose detective who was trying to dodge.

Its so-called evasion is nothing but a joke in Aggron's eyes.

When the light of the destructive ray dissipated, a huge void appeared before Nanfeng. The lush cavern's rock wall had been blasted open, leaving a six-meter-deep hole. Detective Mongoose, the Overlord, lay inside, his eyes swollen with disbelief, having lost all ability to fight.

Nanfeng took out a Poké Ball from his pocket and enlarged it, preparing to capture this dominant Zangief Detective.

It's a dominant spirit, after all.

But before it could be thrown, Captain Ilima stopped it.

He looked completely dumbfounded. "You can't capture the Pokémon during the trial. You can try to capture it again after the trial is over, if... it's still willing to appear in front of you."

283. Battle against Island King Hala, unleashing a fierce and unstoppable punch.

[Item Obtained: Normal Z]

Pick up a white Z-crystal from the ground.

Nanfeng then considered himself to have cleared the Lush Cave dungeon.

However, they have not yet been teleported out of the lush cave.

"You have defeated all the Pokémon in the Lush Cave and obtained a Normal Z Crystal. Congratulations on completing my test. As the captain, I will now teach you how to use the power of a Normal Z!" Ilima said.

Nanfeng raised his arm, revealing the Super Ring. "I don't have a Z-Bracelet yet."

"It's alright. If you can pass the great test of Mr. Hala, the king of Melemele Island, I believe he won't be stingy with his Z-Bracelet!"

"Before that, I'll teach you how to use the normal Z-Move 'Ultra Invincible Slam.' You can try practicing and using it after you get the Z-Ring."

As she spoke, Ilima began to demonstrate the motion of using a normal Z-Move in front of Southwind.

Clench both fists, then cross your arms in front of your chest, reveal the standard Z on the Z bracelet, and pull it open forcefully, much like Ultraman Tiga charging up his Zeperion Ray.

Finally, make a gesture of holding the mirror up and down in front of your chest with both hands.

Nanfeng felt awkward watching it, especially since there was only the action and no 060 energy effect, which made it even more awkward.

Ilima was done in slow motion once, then in normal fast motion once; it looked more like an awkward dance.

“Come on, do it with me!” Ilima gestured for Nanfeng to learn from her.

Hmm, for the sake of power, it's not shameful!
