Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

2. Extract the Pokémon and items from the handheld console to the real world.

I saw the Poké Ball in front of me.

Nanfeng paused for a moment, looked up at the ceiling, and saw only the bright incandescent light.

So...where did this thing fall from? And I've never bought a Poké Ball.

Even an empty Poké Ball costs 200 yuan in the official store!

Just as Nanfeng reached out to pick up the Poké Ball, it opened by itself with a "bang".

An orange-red chick hopped out of it.

“Chichi!!(≧▽≦)ゞ”

It was a turkey, its entire body covered in orange fur, its big, shiny black eyes brimming with excitement. It blinked its big eyes at Nanfeng, then happily ran around him, rubbing its fluffy body against Nanfeng's palm.

"Torch...Torch?" Nanfeng's eyes widened as he felt the incredibly realistic texture in his palm.

Where did this Poké Ball containing Torchic come from?!

Looking around, Nanfeng finally fixed his gaze on his handheld console.

He just got a Torchic on his handheld console, and now suddenly a Poké Ball containing a Torchic has appeared...

Nanfeng immediately had a bold guess.

He quickly turned the handheld console back on, and the game that appeared on his screen was no longer Pokémon Collection, but "Pokémon Emerald".

Never mind, let's get into the game.

Upon entering the game, Nanfeng controls her character to leave Littleroot Town, cross Route 101, pass through Old Maple Town, and find her formidable rival, Haruka, at the end of Route 103.

According to the storyline, Haruka challenges the protagonist to a battle.

Unexpectedly, the option to refuse appeared.

Nanfeng refused without hesitation. "I don't have time to fight you right now. Go away and play!"

After talking to Haruka, return to the research institute.

At the research institute, Professor Birch gave the protagonist a Pokédex and five Poké Balls.

After running out of the research institute, the protagonist was stopped by his mother at the doorstep, who handed him a pair of speed-enhancing shoes. Wearing the shoes, the protagonist's running speed increased even further.

I plunged into Route 101, and after a few steps, the scene changed, and I entered a battle scene.

The opponent is a snake bear, level 2.

In the standard Emerald version, the Pokémon that will jump out of the grass on Route 101 are nothing more than Zigzagoon, Wurmple, and Poliwag.

Nanfeng had Torchic use Ember to attack once, and Zigzagoon's health bar immediately dropped to the bottom and turned red, which was the best time to catch it, so he threw out a Poké Ball.

After shaking the Poké Ball twice, its color darkened, indicating a successful capture.

[Snake-striped bear (standard)]

【Level: 2】

[Special Feature: Pickup (There is a certain chance to pick up items after a battle)]

Individual Values: HP (22), Attack (31), Special Attack (20), Defense (15), Special Defense (21), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Roar, Impact]

[Items to carry: none]

The stats are pretty good; it's a 2V spirit with high attack and speed.

Even though its attributes are good, Nanfeng has no intention of training it; the purpose of capturing it was never to train it.

Exit the Pokémon's attribute screen and immediately select "Save".

[Should I record and exit?]

"Record"

[Recording....]

[Record complete, exiting game]

The handheld console screen went black.

At the same time, several "thump thump thump" sounds came from the air. Four empty Poké Balls, one Poké Ball containing a Zigzagoon, a Pokédex, and a pair of running shoes landed in front of Nanfeng.

"Even the items inside fell out!!!" Nanfeng was overjoyed.

He had initially guessed that the sprites he acquired in the game would appear in the real world after he saved the game. Now it seems that not only sprites, but also items from the game can drop out!

Nanfeng took a deep breath. When he first came to this world, he was troubled by not having a cheat system. He never expected that his cheat system had always been by his side, but he just hadn't noticed it.

But it's not too late to discover this now!

Become a trainer?

No, I want to become a Champion, a King of the Stars, and even the Lord of the Spirits!

Nanfeng immediately felt a surge of pride and ambition.

You can obtain spirits and items from the game, so the problem of lacking resources will not exist at all.

They even want pseudo-legendary Pokémon, shiny Pokémon, Pokémon with top-tier 6IV potential, and even legendary Pokémon!

In reality, every mythical beast is a world-destroying force, but in the game...

Haha, in turn-based battles, the fastest speed is the fixed action of throwing a Poké Ball. You can turn off the computer and start over at any time, and spend an afternoon throwing Poké Balls to catch Entei?

If you asked me to throw Poké Balls for a month or even a year to catch Entei, Nanfeng would do it without hesitation!

Besides, it seems I don't need to do that. The legendary Pokémon in Emerald are only level 70. I can level up my Pokémon to 70, then unleash a 6-on-1 attack, keep throwing Poké Balls at it, and it won't take a year, just a few minutes.

The drowsiness that had just begun to rise with the south wind had long since vanished.

I quietly took out my phone and ordered a delivery service, which delivered a case of Red Bull and a case of coffee.

Today, I won't sleep until the moon does; I'm a bald little baby!

So what if I'm bald? Being bald is proof that I've become stronger!

A tribute to a certain invincible bald cape-wearing hero.

3. Form a garbage-collecting team, and earning a million a month is not a dream!

I drank Red Bull, then coffee.

I turned on my handheld console and started playing all night.

Upon entering the game, the protagonist is still on Route 101.

Nanfeng didn't leave; he continued to control the protagonist as they circled around in the grass on Route 101.

While drinking Red Bull and coffee, Nanfeng was thinking about how to quickly acquire items in the game, get rich quickly, and achieve financial freedom.

Picking up items along the way as you progress through the story is a good way to earn money. In the game, each map may have several items on the ground waiting for you to pick up, including items like evolution stones that are worth tens of thousands. Selling one can cover the food for your Pokémon for one or two months.

But... this is only a one-time gain, since what you pick up won't grow back on its own. It's like defeating NPCs on the roadside in a game to get money, then buying items in a shop and converting them into real-world currency—both are non-renewable resources.

What I really need to find is a "path to sustainable development".

The first skill that came to Nanfeng's mind was called "Thief".

In the game, when battling a trainer, you can use the Thief skill to steal items from your opponent for your own use, and then return them to your opponent after the battle. However, if your opponent is a wild Pokémon...

Then why would you return this thing to the other party?

This is definitely a free purchase.

However, the Thief skill machine isn't available until the mid-game, and since reality isn't a game, skill machines don't exist. To learn it, you need a teacher who knows how to learn the Thief skill, which costs...

At least for me right now, it's a price that's completely unaffordable.

The plan to purchase items for free will be temporarily shelved.

Finally, Nanfeng suddenly remembered the snake-patterned bear he had just tamed.

The Zigzag Bear's special ability is "Scavenging". After a battle, there is a certain chance that it will pick up items. The key point is that even if the Zigzag Bear did not participate in the battle, it may still pick up items!

Nanfeng knew that the probability of Zigzagoon's Pick Up ability activating was not high, but what if it was multiplied by 5?

Nanfeng controls the protagonist to walk around in the grass, aiming to capture four more snake-patterned bears!

Form a scavenging team consisting of a Torchic and five Zigzag Bears!

Along the way, I can proceed with the story normally, with Torchic acting as the main damage dealer, while the five Zigzagoons scavenge for trash.

I believe that I will be able to achieve financial freedom soon!

A wild coyote jumped out of the bushes.

Just kill them!

Torchic used two Embers to take down Poliwag, but Poliwag still managed to deal some damage to Torchic with a Tackle in the first round.

The problem is not big.

continue!

A wild basilisk leaped out of the grass.

Finally, we encountered a snake bear.

Nanfeng first had Torchic use Ember to weaken it, then threw out a Poké Ball.

[Zigglyph jumped out of the Poké Ball]

[Main character: What a pity, just a little short]

Didn't catch it instantly? No problem, keep throwing Poké Balls.

[Zigglyph jumped out of the Poké Ball]

[Main character: What a pity, just a little short]

Only two balls. I still have two left. No problem. Keep throwing Poké Balls.

[Zigglyph jumped out of the Poké Ball]

[Main character: What a pity, just a little short]

Nanfeng's blood pressure is starting to rise!

Zigzagoon, I advise you not to push your luck! I only have one last Poké Ball left. If I can't catch you with this last Poké Ball, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

Perhaps the threat from the south wind had an effect, and the last Poké Ball finally captured Zigzagoon.

"Finally, I've tamed it," Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, then checked its attributes.

[Snake-striped bear (standard)]

【Level: 3】

【Ability: Gluttony (When a Pokémon's HP is no more than 1-2 of its maximum HP, instead of the usual 1-4, the held berry will be eaten)】

Individual Values: HP (30), Attack (7), Special Attack (22), Defense (25), Special Defense (11), Speed ​​(11)

[Skills: Roar, Impact]

[Items to carry: none]

My blood pressure spiked to the maximum!

Holy crap, I used four Poké Balls to catch this Zigzagoon, and its ability isn't even what I wanted!

This body has no V stats at all, I just don't understand how you have the nerve to make me spend four Poké Balls!

Release them immediately! I don't want to see you again!

The initial attempt was unsuccessful, and I almost became depressed, but the plan must continue.

Nanfeng controlled the protagonist to leave Route 101 and go to the Pokémon Center in Maple Town for treatment. He threw four Poké Balls, and Torchic was hit by three Tackles from Zigzagoon and ran out of stamina.

I'll also go to the Pokémon Shop to buy Poké Balls.

Talk to the shopkeeper at the village entrance, and the shopkeeper will lead the protagonist to the entrance of the elf shop and give Nanfeng a bottle of healing potion.
