Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

For training in power generation techniques, Nanfeng decisively assigned Strongchicken and Froakie to it. Meditation training was also perfect for Kirlia, as it could help her enhance her Psychic and Special Attack.

After Masana came Hawley, whose breeding manual recorded "bodybuilding" training methods.

He arranged for Strong Chicken and Frog to train. Although Nanfeng didn't know if Frog could master "bodybuilding," he didn't expect Frog to actually train to be as good as Machoke. He just wanted some improvement.

Finally, there are the training tips for Super Power King, which record the training methods for "Wave Missile" and "High Five Surprise Attack".

A high-five surprise attack shouldn't be a problem; as long as you have the skills to master Fighting-type powers, you can do it.

Aura missiles, on the other hand, require starting with vacuum wave skills and must possess the "Aura Force" talent to master.

The Aura Force talent is one in a million.

Nanfeng didn't know if he had any strong chickens or frogs, but he could only say he'd try training them.

After reading the tips on cultivating vines, Nanfeng took a deep breath.

Therefore, compared to Secret Techniques, Gym Badges, and TM cooldowns, the Gym's Pokémon training tips are more valuable.

Nanfeng quickly turned back and took out the Azalea's Elf Insights that he had briefly looked at before to study it carefully again.

The training notes for raising small georms record the training methods of "rounding" and "rock polishing".

The Onix breeding guide records training methods for "rockfall" and "hardening".

The experience of raising a baby with a north-facing nose includes training methods using "electromagnetic waves".

The four skills are not very useful for Nanfeng's current three Pokémon, but they will be very useful when he trains Rock-type and Electric-type Pokémon in the future.

Keep both books of breeding tips safe; they are all treasures!

(I went out to play this morning. This is the second chapter. I'll post the other two chapters later.)

31. This is such a wonderful thing!

The Fighting Dojo has been defeated, and Flashy Flash has been upgraded to Secret Flashy Flash. We can finally move on to the next part of the story.

Nanfeng led Ralts back into the Stone Cave.

We entered the underground level from the ground floor, and the screen suddenly went black; it was pitch black. This is much more precise than standard Emerald, where you can still see the protagonist and the two surrounding tiles. But where would any light source be underground?

Open the Pokémon interface and select Kirlia to use Flash.

Instantly, the entire Stone Cave was as bright as day! The game interface appeared completely normal.

Control the protagonist to move forward, walking on the first basement level. Nanfeng picks up items on the ground while searching for the "stairs" to the next level.

In just over ten minutes, Nanfeng found the entrance to the second underground level. Along the way, he found a Poké Ball, a Drift Rope, and encountered quite a few Pokémon.

The number of elves on the underground level is much greater than that on the ground level.

In just over ten minutes, Nanfeng encountered Zubat, Onix, Abra, Makuhime, Sableye, Gulliver, and Cocoyado.

"CocoDora..." Nanfeng clicked his tongue. "If only I had leveled up in the dark on the basement level earlier."

Cocodora's final evolution is "Aggron", which is a very good Pokémon.

With its terrifying defense and extremely high attack power, it looks like an iron fortress at first glance! However, its Steel and Rock type combination makes it four times weak to Fighting and four times weak to Ground. Once it encounters a Pokémon of these two types, the steel becomes paper.

However, once it undergoes Mega Evolution, its defense and offense will be further enhanced, and its type will return to the pure Steel type. With the "Filter" ability, all its four weaknesses will disappear, leaving it with no weaknesses whatsoever, making it a true walking weapon of war.

Even Steven, the former champion of Hoenn, has a main Aggron!

If Nanfeng catches a shiny Cocodora, he will definitely train it to become his main Pokémon.

Nanfeng picked up the Coke on the table and took a sip.

"If I can't beat the third gym and there aren't any Pokémon I like nearby, I'll just come back here and try to get a shiny Acolyte," Nanfeng decided, and even found a reason to convince himself: Cuckoo's Pokémon Tips includes "Rock Slide" and "Harden," so it would be a waste not to use them.

Along the way, the appearance rate of Cocodora was quite high. It accounted for at least 4 out of 10 times I encountered wild Pokémon.

A 40% probability is ten times higher than Ralts's probability!

If Ralts was farmed for seven days, then it would be farmed for seven hours?

You can also try to get Abra while you're at it. If you get Zubat, Sableye, or Gulpera, that would be great too. Sableye and Gulpera can also Mega Evolve. The former is Dark/Ghost type, and the latter is Fairy/Steel type; their strength and the resistances provided by their types are both very nice.

No, thinking about it, I actually want to flashy things here even more!

After I finish sending the message, I'm going to spend a few days farming for flashy items here!

Go down to the second basement level of the Stone Cave.

The types of Pokémon are changing again; Southwind also encountered Onix and Nosegate.

“I have reason to suspect that the cuckoo caught its north-facing nose right here,” Nanfeng said, stroking his chin, channeling Sherlock Holmes. “I remember in some anime or manga, the cuckoo and the vine were a couple…”

On the central platform of the second basement level, I found a spirit item called the "Everstone".

The effect of the Everstone is to prevent Pokémon from evolving.

Trainers who use it generally have two purposes. First, some Pokémon can only learn or learn certain special moves before they evolve, so they rely on the Everstone to suppress evolution and then remove the Everstone once the moves are learned.

The second reason is that some female trainers don't want their Pokémon's evolution to look ugly, so they keep their Pokémon wearing Everstones.

The most common examples are bear cubs and fire-spotted cats.

Compared to the teddy bear and the fire-spotted cat, not many girls would like the circled bear and the universe's number one fiery roaring tiger.

It was half an hour later when they finally found the staircase leading to the depths of the second basement level.

Nanfeng finally met Daigo.

When I arrived, Daigo was mining with his Bosscodora, making a clanging noise.

Steven has a strong obsession with collecting minerals. He passed the title of Champion of the Hoenn region to Wallace so that he could mine in peace.

[Daigo: Young man, do you also like mining?]

When Daigo saw Nanfeng covered in mud, it was as if he had found a kindred spirit, and his spirits were lifted.

[South Wind: No, no, no, I'm here to deliver a letter to you.]

[Dawu: Delivering a message?]

Daigo took the letter from Nanfeng and read it carefully, only looking up again after a long while.

[Daigo: Thank you for your help. It has indeed been a long time since I've been back.]

After handing Nanfeng a thank-you gift, he hurriedly left.

The reward is a skill cooldown, named Steel Wing.

Steel Wing: A Steel-type physical move with a power of 70, a 90% accuracy rate, and a 10% chance to raise the user's Defense by 1 level.

Very good skill.

As expected of Daigo, he's so generous! Giving away MEGA evolution stones is just basic for him, and giving away Steelwing's skill cooldown is also normal.

However, please, Daigo, next time we meet, could you please give me a Mega Stone?

Although Steel Wing is a Steel-type move, it is basically only Flying-types that can master it.

Southwind doesn't have any Flying-type Pokémon, so this, like Rock Tomb, is just something to store in the warehouse.

Watching Daigo depart, Nanfeng instructed Kirlia to use Teleport.

They immediately returned from the cave to the Pokémon Center on Fighting Island.

After the treatment, Nanfeng took Old Man Hatch's boat back to Kanaz City and received a "learning device" as a reward from Daigo's father, President Zuvoki, for delivering the letter for him.

I received a thank-you gift from Daigo, and I'll receive another thank-you gift from President Zfouchi.

Do one thing, get two paychecks, happy!

The learning device allows the equipped Pokémon to share the experience of the winning team on the field.

This thing isn't very useful right now. My three Pokémon are strong enough to gain experience by defeating opponents on their own, so there's no need for other Pokémon to "fight for me".

If Nanfeng had chosen to capture Abra instead of Ralts in the first place, obtaining the Exp. Share would have been the real start to leveling up Abra.

However, you can save it for later when you catch new Pokémon and fight stronger monsters to train it.

For example, I was farming for rare items in Stone Cavern and got Abra and Kokodora.

This is such a wonderful thing!

32. The Road Home

After three days of battling in the Stone Cave, not a single shiny Pokémon was acquired.

Nan Fengxian almost broke down in tears.

Since the exams were over, he didn't study at all. These past few days, apart from an hour of self-training, he spent his time playing games and watching TV series in his hotel room.

I spend up to fifteen hours a day farming shiny Pokémon, encountering nearly a thousand of them.

"Perhaps... I was able to catch Ralts and Makuhime just because I was lucky, not because the probability was that high..." Looking at the round fat guy in front of him, Nanfeng felt that he had been taking things for granted. If the probability of a shiny was so high that one could appear every three or four days, then it wouldn't be that valuable.

Whether in games or in real life.

The enthusiasm of the southerly winds has also cooled down considerably.

“Muga~~(oˉVˉo)” The chubby Muxia Lishi was sitting on Nanfeng’s bed watching TV, with Frog and Chicken on either side of him.

Good brothers should sit side by side.

Kirlian sat down next to Nanfeng, keeping him company while she practiced meditation.

"Never mind, I'll continue with the main storyline after I get home," Nanfeng said, getting up to change his clothes and then recalling all the sprites.

Three days have passed; it's time to head out.

Qiantang University has published the final scores of all applicants on its official website.

With a total score of 450, Nanfeng scored 425, ranking first.

Basic knowledge: 128 points; Pokémon battle: 150 points (out of 150); Pokémon training knowledge: 147 points.

The basic knowledge score was 128 points, which Nanfeng had already calculated before the exam. The Pokémon battle score was 150 points, and after the battle, the senior student assured herself that she had passed.

But he scored 147 points in knowledge cultivation, just three points short of a perfect score, which was something Nanfeng never expected.

"It seems I answered the last big question perfectly," Nanfeng pondered, rubbing his chin. Even if he got everything else right, he only lost three points on the big question.

With the results confirmed, Nanfeng's eligibility for admission was also confirmed.

Qiantang University has already informed Nanfeng that he should report on August 15th and begin military training. As for the admission notice, it has been sent back to his hometown according to the address he left, and it should arrive tomorrow.

This was filled in by Nanfeng on purpose. She would definitely tell her parents about attending Qiantang University, so instead of wasting time explaining it to herself, she might as well just let the admission notice make everything clear.

After checking out of the hotel, Nanfeng went to the station and boarded the bullet train back to Ancheng.

Two hours later, we arrived in Ancheng and then took a minibus to the countryside. After several hours of bumpy travel, we finally arrived at Yangping Village, Nanfeng's long-lost hometown.

In my past life, after graduating from university, I resolutely decided to stay in the big city to work hard. I would only come back once every few years during the Chinese New Year, and spend the rest of the time in the big city.

In addition, the world changed drastically twenty years later.

When Nanfeng first got off the bus, she even felt a little...unfamiliar.

"Xiao Feng, you're back from the county!" Grandpa Wang, who was feeding geese at the village entrance, called out to Nan Feng.

"Good afternoon, sir," Nanfeng greeted him instinctively.

After greeting him, Nanfeng stood there, somewhat bewildered.

Although time has returned to twenty years ago, and there are some elves that could never appear in this world, the people I know are still there. The sense of unfamiliarity was swallowed up by the big dog of familiarity, and suddenly everything came alive.

"Come to Grandpa's for dinner tonight. He just caught a big carp in the pond at the village entrance."

"No, Mom and Dad have cooked dinner and are waiting for me to come home," Nanfeng replied without turning her head, and walked step by step into the village.

There's a small river at the village entrance, flowing down from Xiaoluo Mountain at the village's end, running through the entire Yangping Village. The most common creature in the river is the Magikarp, and occasionally you can see other Pokémon like Marill, Wobbuffet, and Poliwag.

In Nanfeng's memory, he often played with these elves in this pond when he was a child, and even raised a mosquito coil tadpole. If he hadn't transmigrated here, and if his original self in this world wasn't content to be just an ordinary non-elf professional...

I guess it really will be like Zhang Tianming suggested, catching a Poliwag and starting his trainer journey.

"Quack quack quack~~" When Nanfeng was almost home, he ran into three silly-looking Psyducks lined up and waddled along the river.

South Wind looks at Psyduck, and Psyduck looks at South Wind.

"Ga(oД`o)ノ"
