Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"Gah," the south wind tried to greet.

Psyduck: (0.0)

The three Psyducks looked at each other, then turned and continued walking.

A Psyduck: Quack (That person doesn't seem very bright)

Psyduck #2: Quack (Agree)

Psyduck #3: Quack (Big brother is right)

south wind:..

If it were a regular duck, I would have stewed you all no matter what!

Nanfeng's house is located near the end of the village, close to the mountainside.

Far off, with the south wind still over a hundred meters from home, a small Yorkshire Terrier scurried along the ground and pounced.

Nanfeng pressed down the strong chickens and other elves that were about to come out to protect him, and hugged little York tightly in his arms.

This little Yorkshire Terrier was raised by Nanfeng for over three years. He didn't train it or tame it; he just raised it as an ordinary dog, and it became part of Nanfeng's family.

I got to my door but hadn't knocked yet.

"Xiaofeng's back! Go wash your hands quickly, dinner's ready!" his mother's voice rang out.

"Mom, I haven't knocked on the door yet," Nanfeng said as she pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

“Who else could make little York call like that but you coming back?” Through the glass, you could see your mother busy in the kitchen.

"Where's Dad?"

"He's playing chess with your uncle."

As the south wind entered the house, a cloud of smoke rushed towards us.

Not only were Nanfeng's father and uncle present, but also his aunt's husband's family, his second aunt's husband's family, and his youngest aunt's husband's family.

My mother has many siblings; she is the third oldest, with two older sisters and one older sister and one younger brother, who are all about to get married. My father is the only son in his family, so any gatherings are basically gatherings for my mother's family.

The men played chess, smoked, and pointed at each other, while the women chatted and ate sunflower seeds, and the younger siblings sat in a row watching cartoons.

Two large tables were set up in the hall, with fruit and cold dishes already served, clearly waiting for the meal to begin.

"Brother's back! Dinner's ready!" Uncle's son, Li Xiyu, had sharp ears. As soon as he saw Nanfeng come in, he put down the remote control and went to the table, eager to start the meal.

33. Searching for rare items in the mountains behind my hometown

Dealing with relatives was always a troublesome thing for young Nanfeng. It wasn't until he was nearly forty that he became part of his uncles' conversations, able to express his own opinions and gain recognition, and he also became part of the trouble.

Dealing with relatives doesn't seem so troublesome anymore, it's even quite comfortable~

It's been many years since it's been this lively.

I will go home every year for Chinese New Year from now on, and it should be lively for a long time.

Nanfeng smiled and toasted his relatives, chatting about life and studies.

The admission notice from Qiantang University arrived earlier than Nanfeng expected; it was sent out before being published online. Nanfeng hadn't even arrived home yet, but the admission notice had already arrived.

Upon receiving the admission notice, Nan's parents, seeing that it was from a prestigious university like Qiantang University, naturally set up two large tables and invited relatives to come and celebrate together.

After learning that Nanfeng had applied to Elf University, his uncles scraped together 200,000 yuan for him as a growth fund.

The parents accepted it.

Nanfeng has money now, but he just doesn't have a suitable reason to give it to his parents.

Once I start school, I can work as a "breeder" to pay off my debts.

Nanfeng's parents had no objection to him taking the Pokémon University entrance exam and becoming a Pokémon Trainer.

They once had such dreams too, and perhaps it's because they couldn't realize their own dreams that they supported their children in achieving them.

That night, Nanfeng didn't play games; because he had drunk some alcohol, he went to bed early.

The next morning, Nanfeng was awakened by the crowing of the chickens in the yard.

He finally fell asleep, but not long after, his little cousin Li Xiyu came looking for him with a runny nose.

"Brother, brother, let's go fishing at the village entrance!" Li Xiyu tied the sewing thread to a tree branch and came to find Nanfeng.

He retracted his immature remarks from last night.

Dealing with relatives is such a hassle, especially with children.

"Go find Brother Yang," Nanfeng casually handed him a piece of candy.

Li Xiyu excitedly went to find Brother Yang.

After dealing with the brat, Nanfeng slowly got out of bed.

I'll go back to my apartment in Ancheng in a few days; it's much quieter there.

I just needed to pack my things and check out of the hotel.

Since it was a rare opportunity to return to his hometown, Nanfeng wasn't planning to pick up the handheld console and start playing right away. He had to wait until that mischievous brat Li Xiyu left, otherwise he was bound to get into some trouble.

After breakfast, Nanfeng strolled around the village, following the stream up the mountain.

The origin of the name Xiaoluoshan is unknown, but Nanfeng vaguely remembers picking snails in a stream halfway up the mountain.

If you venture a little deeper, you'll find an abandoned mine shaft.

In the 1980s, rare minerals were discovered in the mountains, but because the minerals were very small, the area was abandoned not long afterward.

At the entrance of the mine, you can still vaguely see many abandoned mine carts, and even a rusty mine cart track.

South Wind is not interested in these things.

He was more interested in the elves who lived there.

He had already seen three small fist stones at the entrance of the mine.

"What kind of Pokémon will appear in the real world after it's merged with Pokémon?" Nanfeng wondered with anticipation.

Since the mines are untouched year-round, they naturally become a paradise for wild elves, making it the easiest place to encounter rare and powerful elves.

With nothing to do, why not go on a mine exploration?

Nanfeng strode towards the mine shaft, just reaching the entrance.

A small fist-sized rock is flying out of it.

A human and an elf face to face.

"The powerhouse is yours now," Nanfeng said, throwing out a Poké Ball.

"Mujia~~(oˉ▽ˉo)" The chubby boy, carrying a pair of red fists, went up and "bang bang" twice.

Before Little Geodude could react, he was knocked into the mud and immediately lost his fighting ability.

Geodude: First of all, I didn't offend any of you.

With the strongmen leading the way, Nanfeng headed deeper into the mine.

As Nanfeng walked, the stories his parents used to scare children away from playing in the mines flashed through his mind.

The mine is haunted, haunted by the spirits of miners who died in mining accidents.

A monster with a gaping maw dwells in the mine, ready to devour any disobedient child who comes near.

The stories adults used to tell to fool children now seem to have some credibility in the world after the fusion of spirits.

Are there ghosts of dead miners wandering in the mine? Those must be Ghost-type Pokémon!

A monster with a gaping maw? The big-mouthed frog we encountered in the Stone Cave fits that description quite well.

"Kirlia, Flash!" As they went deeper, the surrounding light began to dim, and Nanfeng had to send Kirlia out to keep things in order.

A small sun immediately hung above the south wind, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

They continued walking for about an hour, kicking Geodude and punching Stone Golem, advancing triumphantly, but still didn't encounter any Pokémon that Nanfeng could call "rare".

Until we reached the bottom of the mine, a relatively large space.

"Hmm?" Nanfeng noticed something brightly lit in the corner.

Taking Makushita Rikishi closer, they discovered it was a pile of transparent, stone-like crystals, one after another, side by side.

If you pull the small sphere closer for a closer look, you can see that it reflects light clearly no matter which side you shine it from.

Nanfeng reached out and touched it; it felt extremely hard. "It feels like a diamond..."

After making this guess, Nanfeng laughed at himself.

What are you thinking!

diamond?

How could there possibly be diamonds in this dilapidated mine? Besides, if there were diamonds, they wouldn't be measured in carats, but in kilograms.

Is it possible for such a large diamond to exist in the world?

Unless it's a humanoid diamond, Diancie.

Although they didn't know what kind of ore it was, they were already here, so how could they leave empty-handed? Nanfeng decisively ordered the warriors, "Warriors, pick up these ores, let's go back."

Makushita Rikishi stepped forward and grabbed the transparent crystal in the middle, but as soon as he pulled it up, he also pulled up the two crystals on the side, as if these three crystals, no, this row of crystals, were all connected together.

Suddenly, the walls on the side of the space cracked in sections, and a huge head emerged from the cracks more than ten meters away, staring intently at Nanfeng.

Upon seeing the head, Nanfeng trembled slightly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"A...a flashing Onix?"

34. I'll let you be arrogant here for a while!

Its enormous, serpentine body, though with a snake's head, exudes a kind and honest charm; only its crystalline body, reflecting light from head to toe, evokes a sense of awe and wonder.

What appeared before Nanfeng was a giant rock snake!

The Onix with its crystalline body is different from those Onix with rocky bodies; clearly, it is a shiny Pokémon.

I didn't encounter the flash in the handheld console, but I did in real life!

"Under the curtain, strike with a high five!" Nanfeng launched an attack without hesitation.

"Mug~~" The chubby boy, with his round belly, immediately launched an attack on the shiny Onix.

But once the giant onyx realized it was a human, it lost interest and retreated, giving Nanfeng no chance to fight at all.

"Rumble..."

It plunged headfirst into the mud, its massive form quickly disappearing from sight. The splashed mud repelled the warriors beneath the curtain, leaving only a long tunnel in its wake.

"Chase!" Just as Nanfeng was about to dive into the tunnel, the tunnel collapsed with a "bang".

this.

They escaped?

Nanfeng stood still, unsure whether to chase or not.

Even if the tunnel hadn't collapsed, he wouldn't dare run inside, for who knows when it might collapse.

But we can't chase it; that's a Shiny Onix!

Onix can evolve into Steelix, and Steelix can also undergo Mega Evolution, making it a Pokémon with great potential for development.

After much thought, Nanfeng decided to give it a try and took out his handheld console.

The player controls the character to capture two Onix in the Stone Cave and bring them along, then sends the Onix out in the real world.

"Go find the giant rock snakes that are different from you!" Nanfeng instructed the two giant rock snakes.

According to my previous life's knowledge of the Pokédex, Onix can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour when traversing mud. This speed is already the maximum speed limit for cars on open roads.

Only Onix can catch up with Onix.

The two giant rock snakes immediately sprang into action, carving out two more tunnels in the mine. One tunnel collapsed two minutes later, and the other collapsed five minutes later when a gopher passed by.

"Luckily I didn't rush in," Nanfeng thought with immense relief. If the tunnel had collapsed, Kirlia probably wouldn't have had time to teleport away with him; the tunnel was just too narrow.
