Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

"Garuda! Dragon Claw!" Nanfeng had been wary of Huocun's move. This wasn't a regular battle in the arena; there were no competition rules. Using two or three Pokémon in battle was perfectly normal.

Garchomp leaped out of its Poké Ball and faced Electivire head-on, but it completely ignored Electivire's Thunder Punch, letting the punch hit it. At the same time, it used its Dragon Claw to leave a claw mark on Electivire's body.

This is a completely worthwhile deal. Electric-type moves are ineffective against Ground-type Garchomp, but Dragon-type moves are a real threat to Electivire!

When the two Pokémon landed, Froakie had already finished its battle.

A sharp kunai slash left an "X"-shaped wound on Houndoom's neck. Froakie stood behind it, its slender figure looking somewhat forlorn.

It's not that I'm trying to show off; the frog is already doing its best to stand still.

Flamethrower isn't so easy to catch!

With a "thud," Houndoom collapsed, and this time it truly could not stand up again.

[Defeated Houndoom LV40, Froakie gained 3102 experience points and leveled up, current level: 35]

It's level 35 now, just one more level and Froakie can evolve.

Ok?

Nanfeng suddenly saw a bright white light flowing from the frog's body, a unique glow of evolution!

Isn't it still one level away?

Why is it about to evolve?

Under the white light, the frog's body was quickly straightened and became upright.

When the light faded, what appeared before Nanfeng was Greninja.

【Greninja Frog (Water)】

【Level: 35】

【Characteristic: Bond Transformation (No bond was established, effect unknown)】

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (25), Special Defense (27), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Bubble Beam, Slap, Shout, Quick Attack, Lick, Smoke, Water Pulse, Shadow Identity, Substitute, Water Jet, Iai Slash, Throw, Knock Down, Rock Smash, Water Play, Water Shuriken, Ambush, Role Play, Shadow Ambush, Spikes, Surprise Attack]

[Carrying Item: Mysterious Water Drop]

"We still can't treat this as just a game," Nanfeng said with a smile, shaking his head. In reality, a Pokémon's strong desire to become stronger can drive it to evolve, which is obviously different from the situation in the game where evolution only occurs after reaching a certain level.

Furthermore, the mystery of Froakie's ability to withstand Fire Breath and then use Substitute has been solved; it seems that it learned the skill "Water Play" at that time.

Play in Water: Puts the field into a watery state, reducing the power of fire-attribute moves.

As expected of the frog with the protagonist trait of "bond transformation"!

Himura, who witnessed this scene, looked as if he had eaten shit.

Nothing is more humiliating than having your opponent's Pokémon defeat you and then evolve right in front of you!

"Electro-Shock Monster, Lightning Fist!" Himura shouted!

"Crack!" Electivire roared and leaped out, its fist crackling with electricity as it attacked Greninja.

But Garchomp immediately charged forward.

"Ouch! (Touch my second brother first, then get past me!)"

"Troublesome guy!" Fire Village gritted his teeth and immediately threw out another Pokémon, and a Fire-Breathing Camel appeared!

"Fire-breathing Camel, use Sacrifice Charge!"

Camerupt blocked Garchomp and Electivire, allowing Electivire to face Greninja directly.

Facing the electric monster that was about to attack him, Nanfeng raised his hand and gave two commands.

"Greninja, use role-playing"

"Gardevoir, use Life Drops!"

(Thinking of Electabuzz, I went to watch Electabuzz vs. Elite Four again.)

84. The amazing skill of "playing"

After Kirlia evolved into Gardevoir, it learned many skills.

Life Drop is one of them, and it is an extremely rare healing skill.

Gardevoir raised its hand and scattered bright, shimmering water droplets across the entire area, as if to neutralize the acrid smell and toxins from its fire-breathing attack.

Bathed in water droplets, Greninja's stamina is rapidly recovering.

Reaching to its side, Greninja produced a hat made of elements from who-knows-where, slipped it on, and the hat vanished like light and shadow, while Greninja calmly accepted Electivire's "Lightning Punch".

The next second, Greninja took the Lightning Punch head-on without dodging or avoiding it. The surging lightning was like a vicious beast, mercilessly devouring it.

"Zizzizi!!"

But less than two seconds later, the electric current that bit the Greninja suddenly seeped into its body like water. Instead of causing any harm, it made the Greninja feel quite comfortable!

"I guessed right," Nanfeng's lips curled up slightly.

Role-playing is a technique that allows one to temporarily transform their own characteristics into those of the target creature.

Electivire has two abilities. One is called Momentum, which prevents it from falling asleep. The other is called Electric Engine, which makes it immune to Electric-type moves and increases its Speed ​​by 1 stage when hit by an Electric-type move.

The Electivire of Nanfeng Gambling Village has the ability Electric Engine, because Momentum is a hidden ability for Electivire, and only a few Electivires possess it!

There's nothing you can do if you lose the bet; Greninja was just unable to move.

As for now, Greninja, possessing the characteristics of an electric engine, is immune to—no, it should be called absorbing—the Lightning Punch, thus increasing its speed!

"Karuru! (Didn't you eat breakfast this morning? Try harder!)" Greninja said disdainfully.

The electric monster was enraged!

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

Having regained some strength under the life-giving water, the Greninja immediately produced kunai on its hands, their blades sharp and cold.

"Hold on!" Fire Village shouted. He had sensed something was wrong when he heard South Wind shout the word "playing the role"!

Electivire quickly raised its hands and crossed them in front of its chest, trying to create an invisible barrier to block Greninja's attack. But as soon as it raised its hands, its body froze, and a bloody gash appeared on its chest—a large, bloody wound running from its right shoulder to its left waist.

Hemorrhage occurred in an instant.

The Greninja that had just been standing in front of it had somehow appeared behind it, arms crossed with an air of nonchalance.

From froghead frog to grebe, its speed is increasing at an incredible rate!

"Explosive Fist!" Himura shouted.

The electric monster gritted its teeth and endured the pain, then turned around and delivered a heavy punch.

But the powerful punch landed on empty air; Greninja was so fast that it seemed to the onlookers that it easily dodged the attack as if it had been predicted.

Let's follow up with another "Iai Slash"!

"Karuru! (Goodbye!)"

Another bloody gash appeared on the chest of the Electrified Beast, this time running from its left shoulder to its right waist.

The two bloodstains were perfectly symmetrical, forming an "X".

With a "snap," the electric monster collapsed.

[Defeat Electivire LV40, Greninja gains 3524 experience points]

On the other side, the battle between Garchomp and Camel was also nearing its end.

In a head-on clash, Garchomp and Camerupt traded blows at close range. Garchomp disdained defense, while Camerupt had no defensive moves.

Although Camerupt is clearly stronger due to its higher level, Garchomp is constantly being healed by Gardevoir's Life Drops and has a speed that is far superior to Camerupt's.

Garchomp was actually dominating Camerupt.

In less than two minutes, the fire-breathing camel, covered in countless dragon claw wounds, collapsed.

[Defeat the level 40 Fire-Breathing Camel and Garchomp to gain 3214 experience points]

The villagers in the distance were stunned. Their Pokémon were clearly stronger, so how could they be defeated so easily after Houndoom fell?

"Heh, you're lucky! I didn't bring any more Pokémon this time, so I'll let you off the hook for now." Fire Village took the Poké Ball and recalled Camerupt, then turned and ran towards Mt. Chimney.

"Finally won!" Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Huocun had put a lot of pressure on himself.

That Houndoom was too intimidating!

As for the Electivire that followed, judging from the power of its moves, its combat strength was also formidable. Unfortunately, its ability was poor, and it was easily defeated by the Ground-type Garchomp and the Greninja that had just learned to impersonate.

Camerupt is strong enough to defeat Garchomp, but it can't fight alone. Gardevoir is there to assist, and Greninja is ready to intervene at any time. It's a three-on-one situation, so even if it's strong, it won't help.

[BOSS battle won! Received bonus reward "Fire Stone"]

Look up.

A stone, like a spark, floated down from mid-air and landed directly in Nanfeng's hand.

Fire Stone, a type of item used for Pokémon evolution.

Nanfeng had never learned how to appraise Pokémon items, and evolution items were different from skill-boosting items, where their quality could be determined by the amount of boost.

However, judging from the appearance of the Fire Stone alone, its quality is definitely not low. It must be at least a treasure-level Pokémon item.

That's another few million in profit!

Having accepted the Fire Stone, Nanfeng looked around and began searching for the location of the Crimson Flame Pine.

......... . ...

The battle just now took quite a while, and only thirty-three minutes remain in the one-hour countdown. We must find and defeat Crimson Pine within half an hour.

They discovered that the defeated Team Magma were running towards the top of Mt. Chimney, and Team Aqua was also chasing after them. Southwind simply ran towards the top of Mt. Chimney.

After running for about ten minutes, Nanfeng quickly spotted the Red Flame Pine on the top of Chimney Mountain.

He was a slightly thin middle-aged man wearing a red and black trench coat with the Fire Rock Team logo printed on his chest. His face was somewhat aged, and he wore black-rimmed glasses. His unwavering gaze gave people a sense of indifference, as if he regarded life as worthless.

Chi Yansong was operating a machine when he sensed the arrival of the south wind, and his indifferent eyes immediately swept over.

"You're the trainer who defeated Himura?"

“Under normal circumstances, I might have recruited you, but today is definitely not a good time.”

"Then, see you in the next life."

A Poké Ball was thrown.

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and an exceptionally large Camerupt leaped out of it, slamming heavily onto the ground, its level displayed above its head.

LV50

A level 50 fire-breathing camel?

Nanfeng's heart skipped a beat. No wonder the dungeon recommended that he come after reaching level 45.

"Fire-breathing camel, earthquake!"

The fire-breathing camel raised its thick, heavy forelegs high, then stomped down heavily.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled violently, and the volcano erupted! VII.

85. After the fight, soak in a hot spring.

Nanfeng lay back on the beanbag chair, panting heavily.

The handheld device screen displays this.

[Dungeon challenge failed, now in cooldown period: 30 days]

The question of whether Nanfeng had a chance of winning against a level 50 fire-breathing camel was that it didn't even give Nanfeng a chance to fight it.

Camerupt's Earthquake attack triggered a small-scale volcanic eruption. Not only did it fail to send out any Pokémon, but Gardevoir's Teleport couldn't even help it escape, and it was instantly swept away by the lava.

Although there was no pain, the terrifying sight of the lava rushing towards him still made Nanfeng break out in a cold sweat.
