Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

62. Selection

"Glug glug glug..."

As the horn sounded, a series of bubbles suddenly began to rise from the very center of the lake. The next second, a huge head emerged from the lake, its two tentacles dancing like hair in the breeze. Its yellowish-brown body was plump and fat, and its fleshy wings, which were disproportionate to its size, looked rather comical and cute.

This is a Dragonite, a Dragonite that is twice the size of its kind, and can indeed be called "fat".

Dragonite poked its head out, then stopped surfacing and silently swam to the shore, observing and watching Nanfeng.

Ok?

Could this Dragonite be the Dragon King?

Hmm, that makes sense. If it weren't for the Dragon King, it probably couldn't have eaten something that big.

In the distance, groups of Dragonite, Salamence, Hydreigon, and Altaria arrived with their kin.

Not only in the sky, but also on the left and right sides of the south wind, dragon-type Pokémon appeared.

On the left, a ferocious figure, twice the size of a normal Pokémon, appeared. It was a Garchomp, with three Gibles at its feet and several Dragon-type Pokémon following behind, including Haxorus, Flygon, Reddra, and Kommo-o.

On the right is a Goomy Dragon, which is also huge, and it has brought its own tribe, as well as tribes of Dracobalut and Noivern Dragon.

"So the Dragon Kings of the East Blue Dragon Nest are Dragonite, Garchomp, and Goodra?" Nanfeng muttered, noting that only these three were exceptionally large.

The three Dragon Kings led their respective dragon clans to stop around Nanfeng.

After examining Nanfeng, the three Dragon Kings simultaneously raised their heads and roared.

"Hooo~"

"Kaka!"

"Nero~~"

Immediately, cubs were thrown from the large herd by their parents. But not all of them.

The three dragon kings turned around and inspected the dragon cubs that had been thrown out, picking out a few and placing them in front of Nanfeng.

Before long, a large number of dragon-type Pokémon were placed in front of Nanfeng.

Three Dratini, one Bagon, two Gibles, three Axew... and the most numerous were Goomy, seven Goomy lined up, blinking their big eyes at the south wind, with a small dark cloud above their heads bringing them rain.

It seems that at least one of each type of Dragon-type Pokémon was selected, totaling more than thirty Dragon-type Pokémon for Nanfeng to choose from.

Didn't they say the Dragon King helped me choose another version of myself?

Am I just another face in the crowd? Are there tons of them?

Nanfeng suddenly didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Tang Zhihui, on the contrary, looked surprised.

"Are you that charismatic? So many elves seem to resonate with you."

Tang Zhihui remembered that when she came to choose a Dragon-type Pokémon, the three Dragon Kings only selected three Pokémon for her to choose from, two of which were of the same species.

Personal charisma? I accept your comfort.

At least you have more choices.

Nanfeng scanned the thirty-odd Pokémon, first looking around to make sure there were no shiny Pokémon, and then looking at Bagon, Gible, and Dratini.

Before he came, he had already thought about which Pokémon he wanted to capture.

Baby Dragon, Gible, and Dratini are the top choices.

But which of these three spirits should you choose?

"Anyway, we can go to other regions later. I can just pick one to raise for now and catch others later," Nanfeng thought to himself, his eyes fixed on the three Dratini, one Beast Dragon, and two Gibles.

Compare their size, eyes, and mental state, and then make your choice.

"Hmm?" Nanfeng suddenly felt a weight on his back, as if something was pressing down on his backpack.

Looking back, I saw a giblet shark with its mouth wide open, biting my bag.

The elf and the human stared at each other, wide-eyed and confused.

Gible: "Kaka! (Hello!) |д˙)っ"

Before Nanfeng could even say hello, Garchomp had already reached out and grabbed the little Garchomp by the scruff of its neck, just like a mother cat carrying her kitten.

Gible: Grabbed by the scruff of its neck by fate.JPG

Nanfeng looks a bit strange; does the Gible have a nape?

The Gible that was taken away was put back in the distance, right at Garchomp's feet, along with two of its smaller brothers.

"Is that Garchomp's child?" Nanfeng guessed.

As soon as it landed, Gible immediately used Dig to disappear from the spot.

Less than three seconds later, Nanfeng felt a weight on his back. When he turned around, the Gible that had just been caught was back on his backpack, its big mouth gripping the backpack tightly.

There was a newly dug hole in the ground.

Why is this guy here again?

"What's in your bag?" Tang Zhihui asked curiously.

“Uh, some food and clothes.” Nanfeng didn’t know how long it would take to get to the East Sea Dragon’s Nest, or what the environment would be like, so he brought some changes of clothes, Pokémon Cubes for the Pokémon, and a few Poké Balls.

Nanfeng simply put down his bag, letting the Gible tear it to shreds.

Amidst the scattered clothes and Poké Balls, Gible accurately located the box where Southwind had placed the Pokémon Cubes. It devoured the box and the Pokémon Cubes in one bite, chewing them with an excited expression.

Gible: ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

"So that's what you like," Nanfeng exclaimed, surprised by the giblet's sense of smell.

After finishing the Pokémon cube, Gible set its sights on Nanfeng, ran to Nanfeng's feet, raised its head, and looked up with shining eyes, as if asking: Is there more? Is there more? Is there more?

"Is that all I brought?" Nanfeng said apologetically.

"Crack..." Gible was immediately disappointed and turned to walk towards its mother, but after taking only two steps, it turned back, its eyes sparkling.

Immediately, it waved its two little hands (Nuode Zhao) towards the south wind, as if to say, "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!"

Nanfeng saw right through the Gible's intentions. He guessed that the creature knew he had many more at home, so it wanted to come back with him.

If he didn't know that Gible didn't have the Gluttony ability, he would definitely have thought that this guy's ability was Gluttony.

But to subdue it...

Nanfeng looked at Garchomp and called out.

Garchomp showed no intention of bringing its cubs back; it simply stood quietly, waiting for Nanfeng to make his own decision.

Nanfeng thought for a moment, then picked up a Poké Ball and handed it to Gible.

Let's go with this one.

It is one of the three Dragon-type Pokémon I want most, and it is also the offspring of Garchomp King, so its individual stats are definitely far superior to other Dragon-type Pokémon.

I seem to have no reason not to choose it.

As for being gluttonous, that's an advantage for elves.

63. Is it too late for me to regret it now?

Gible deliberately ran headfirst into the Poké Ball and was captured without even a struggle.

A true glutton.

In order to eat delicious food, it actually chose to be subdued by someone.

Garchomp: This son is better off without!

Seeing that Gible had been captured, the chosen Dragon-type Pokémon chicks quietly returned to their own groups, leaving with their parents.

The three Dragon Kings also returned to where they came from.

"Bang!" The Poké Ball that had just been caught opened again, and Gible jumped out, waving at its mother. "Click~~~"

"Roar!!" Garchomp roared as it turned its head slightly, then turned back and sped away. Its two little brothers, on the other hand, seemed reluctant to leave it and kept turning back, but were quickly picked up by Garchomp's mother, one in each arm.

"You're so lucky to have gotten a Garchomp baby," Tang Zhihui said enviously. "Raise it well. I can't guarantee it'll reach Elite Four status, but it'll definitely be enough to make you a gym leader."

Nanfeng remained noncommittal; whether this Gible could become his main Pokémon depended on its Individual Values ​​(IVs). If its IVs were too poor, it might just be a mascot.

Return Gible to its Poké Ball.

The two began their journey back to Qiantang University.

Go back the way you came.

Entering the forest, passing by the Cotton 907 Sugar Tree, the Blue Cotton Bird and the Tanabata Bluebird still kept the area completely covered.

Then, back on the beach, the battle between the two giant crabs was still going on, and the gem starfish had disappeared. A monstrous turtle suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The East Sea Dragon's Nest is home not only to powerful Dragon-type Pokémon, but also to many rare and precious ones.

Tang Zhihui released Gyarados and Blastoise to prepare for their return journey.

Just as Nanfeng was about to climb onto Gyarados's back again, he suddenly saw two Haxorus leading several Axew and Axew along the coast.

When Nanfeng first saw Haxorus, he thought it was a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

With its handsome appearance, impressive speed, and terrifying attack power—especially its attack power, surpassing even some pseudo-god-level monsters—it unleashes a devastating rampage when Dragon Dance is activated.

It's just that it's a bit thin, and while its stamina, defense, and special defense aren't low, they're not particularly outstanding either.

If you want to build a dragon-type team, you could train a Haxorus.

I remember that Axew should appear in the Unova region, so if I could choose the next region to go to, I could (bhah) choose Unova. I also remember that there is a Dragon Spiral Tower in Unova where you can fish for Dratini.

Go and try to get a shiny Dratini and a shiny Teostra. Remember, the shiny Teostra is light gray, unlike the original dark green.

Ok?

Nanfeng suddenly noticed a light gray tooth among the two dark green teeth...

"Flash Fang?!" Nanfeng raised an eyebrow.

Tang Zhihui, who had just sat atop Blastoise's back, followed Nanfeng's gaze and saw Shiny Axew. She exclaimed in shock, "Shiny Axew? There's a Shiny Axew in the East Blue Dragon Nest?!"

How come I didn't see it just now?

Nanfeng swallowed hard, then turned to Tang Zhihui and asked, "Is it too late for me to regret this now?"

Tang Zhihui looked at Nanfeng with regret and shook her head, "It's too late. You chose to capture Garchomp's child, Gible, with the three Dragon Kings as witnesses. If you want to give up Gible, you'll probably have to fight the three Dragon Kings, especially Garchomp."

I almost forgot, the Gible I just got is actually Garchomp.

If I abandon Gible and try to catch Shiny Fang, won't I get torn apart by Garchomp and Dragapult on the spot?

"Then, is there any other way for me to catch that shiny Axew?" Letting a shiny Pokémon go is not Nanfeng's style.

Moreover, if we fail to capture Shiny Fang within this year, the winner of next year's freshman military training competition will very likely encounter Shiny Fang at the East China Sea Dragon Nest!

Nanfeng especially remembered that Tang Zhihui said when she came that the Department of Animal Husbandry would have a course at Dragon's Nest, and by then everyone would know about the existence of Shiny Fang. The next freshman would inevitably capture Shiny Fang.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are simply difficult to obtain, while shiny Pokémon are virtually impossible to encounter except through luck. Which one is rarer is a question that no one can't answer.

Of course, it's normal for a new student to choose pseudo-legendary Pokémon like Dragonite or Gible if they feel they are more powerful.

However, Nanfeng is not prepared to hand over this decision-making power to anyone else.

"The agreement between Qiantang University and Dragon Nest does indeed grant more than one slot per year for students to capture dragon-type Pokémon cubs here," Tang Zhihui replied thoughtfully.

"Putting aside the professor using his special privileges to get the school to allow you to catch another one, if you want to catch another Pokémon in the East Blue Dragon's Nest, the only option is to participate in the school league?"

What is an intra-school league?

"The intra-school league is an internal selection competition held by the school for the national college league."

"Trains who rank in the top five in the intra-school league will be able to represent Qiantang University in the National College League!"

"As the representative of Qiantang University, the academy will naturally provide certain resources. The top three trainers in the university will have the opportunity to have the academy help them capture Pokémon. In the past, many people have requested pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, and Qiantang University trainers will be brought to the East China Sea Dragon's Nest to capture them."

You can use this opportunity.

This is indeed an opportunity, but it is also a crisis.

The National College League is held annually, so the intra-school league is also held annually. Compared to the next batch of freshmen, the top three students in this year's intra-school league may catch Flashy Tooth first.
