Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

However, once we've confirmed that they're all in good condition, it doesn't matter anymore; they're not the main focus today.

Nanfeng specially bought a water pump.

Are you kidding me? Knowing that this water is the "magic sugar water" of Rock-type Pokémon, how could I let it go?

Drain it all away! Not a single drop left!

Nanfeng had deliberately placed hundreds of one-meter-tall plastic barrels in the secret base. After reaching the underground, he had Gardevoir open the secret base, and Nanfeng began using a water pump to pump all the yellowish-brown liquid into the plastic barrels, then returned them to the secret base.

Putting everything else aside, this little portable space in the secret base is really useful as a storage room!

The water pump was looked after by Greninja, a water-type Pokémon that can control the water flow to ensure that not a single drop of the magical syrup spilled anywhere else.

Southwind then took Garchomp and Gardevoir to explore the area.

Nanfeng wanted to determine just how large this Onix burial ground was, and how many Onix and Steelix had died there.

As Nanfeng walked, his attention was drawn to a shiny stone.

He reached out and picked it up; it was a hard stone, and Nanfeng was certain it was at least a treasure!

It's displayed on the handheld console.

Hard Rock: Increases the power of Rock-type moves of Pokémon holding this item by 28%.

Hey, the quality is pretty high, I'll take it!

“The number of Onix and Steelix that died here must be at least over ten thousand, and there must be a lot of Pokémon items like Rock-type Pokémon!” Nanfeng’s eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled a device out of his handheld console.

A treasure detector, also called a treasure finder. 0.7

Is this thing useful in the real world? In the game, its purpose is to find hidden treasures. In reality, there are basically no hidden treasures. The only treasures that might be found are those that trainers haven't discovered yet. Nanfeng isn't sure if he'll be able to use it in the real world for the first time.

The treasure-hunting device is just two metal rods in shape, and Nanfeng really couldn't figure out how it worked.

Upon contact, the two metal rods suddenly locked onto one direction simultaneously.

"It actually works?" Nanfeng's eyes lit up, and he quickly led Garchomp and Gardevoir towards the direction the treasure detector had locked onto.

After walking about thirty meters, on the head of a huge steel snake, Nanfeng found a translucent marble with a gray and a blue thread intertwined inside.

"This...this is a MEGA Stone!"

91. The Rock Horn

Nanfeng concluded that the bead in his hand must be a MEGA evolution stone.

Pick up the handheld console, and the item appears in your inventory; its name is "Steel Snake Evolution Stone".

"NICE!" Nanfeng clenched his fist excitedly.

The value of MEGA stones is undeniable; for Pokémon capable of MEGA evolution, they are the key to their path to becoming the ultimate powerhouse.

The rarity of MEGA stones is incomparable to any treasure-level Pokémon item.

As far as Nanfeng knows, in such a vast and resource-rich land as China, there are no more than a hundred people who possess Mega Stones, and some Gym Leaders don't even have them yet.

Not to mention overseas!

There are fewer than 1000 trainers worldwide who can Mega Evolve their Pokémon.

That's right, it's that rare!

Unfortunately, Nanfeng has now easily become one of only one thousand lucky people in the world!

"It's a pity it's a Mega Stone for Steelix," Nanfeng said, feigning innocence after getting a bargain. He then pocketed the Mega Stone.

Although he already has the evolution stone, he'll soon have Steelix too.

However, the bond between himself and Onix was not strong enough, and he did not have the key item to activate Mega Evolution, the "Key Stone" that comes with the Mega Stone.

Therefore, Nanfeng can only keep this thing in his backpack for now.

"I'll need it someday," Nanfeng said as he placed the MEGA Stone in the handheld console.

Looking out over the entire Tomb of Onix once more, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. This isn't just the Tomb of Onix; it's my treasure trove!

"I don't know why, but I suddenly have a feeling of being in a tomb," Nanfeng wondered if he should go back into the place he came from and light a lamp.

Never mind, even if there are ghosts here, they're Ghost-type Pokémon.

Nanfeng accidentally discovered a while ago that, in addition to being able to control the intensity and color of the light, the Secret Technique Flash can also reveal invisible objects. The Ghost-type's invisibility ability is useless in front of it.

So, Nanfeng was actually looking forward to seeing what Ghost-type Pokémon might be in Onix's Tomb; maybe even a Shiny one. After all, it was such a remote place.

Nanfeng continued to use the treasure detector to search for spirit items.

In half an hour, Nanfeng found three hard stones and three pieces of soft sand, all of which were treasure-level.

Nanfeng realized that its treasure-hunting device had standards for finding treasures; it wouldn't even look at any elf item that wasn't a treasure.

The Pokémon items that can be found by the treasure finder must at least be treasure-level Pokémon items!

This reminded Nanfeng of the black glasses he had found at the Kalu Tunnel, which had a 30% boost.

"We'll have to use this treasure-hunting device a lot more often when we go out!" Nanfeng put the items in his bag. The Greninja had already finished pumping the water.

The Tomb of the Great Onix is ​​so vast that Nanfeng certainly can't explore it all in one go. But that's alright, there's still another day. He can take as much as he can find. He's not short of money right now; these hard rocks are purely for storing food for Adolphin and the Great Onix.

Once I've used it all, I can come here again for a stroll when I go home for the Chinese New Year.

Back at the pond, it had been drained dry; even the moisture in the soil had been squeezed out by the grebe frogs, filling a full forty-two buckets.

It's not a lot, but judging from the amount of food that Adolphin and Onix eat, Nanfeng thinks it should last a long time.

The dried-up pond sank inward, and the Greninja frog took out a strange object from the deepest part.

It was a stone horn with several red spiral lines on its surface, quite peculiar. It was quite heavy; Nanfeng could easily hold it with both hands.

It doesn't look like a naturally formed prop; it looks more like it was made by humans.

"Could someone have been here before?" Nanfeng wondered. He also wondered if the yellowish-brown liquid in the pond was related to the rock horn in his hand.

Nanfeng tried turning on the handheld console to see if the Rock Horn would appear in his inventory.

If it appears, it means it's an item related to spirits; if not, then take it back as a work of art.

Opening the backpack, Nanfeng saw it in the valuables section.

Rock Horn: Belongs to Rock-type Pokémon, increases all stats by 25%. When sounded, the next Rock-type move of the Pokémon with Rock Horn deals 50% more damage. Playing a special tune with it may summon a terrifying being.

Nanfeng's breathing suddenly faltered.

This... this is an incredible treasure!

Nanfeng stared in astonishment at the prop in her hand, utterly unable to comprehend it.

Why are there such powerful items?!

Nanfeng bets that there's absolutely no way that anime, comics, or games could have such an overpowered effect.

Hmm, I haven't played many Pokémon games, but I've played most of the main series, and I've never seen such a terrifying and horrifying item.

Moreover, while ordinary Pokémon items increase the power of moves, this one boosts the Pokémon's stats by a whopping 25%!

This allows Aggron to rival pseudo-legendary characters in strength at the same level!

The key point is that this thing isn't a Pokémon item; you, as the trainer, can simply put it in your handheld's inventory.

With just this one item, Nanfeng felt he had already begun his march towards becoming a Rock-type Elite Four member.

Or you could just form a Rock-type team of 923 and play around with it; a Sandstorm team seems like a good fit.

Aggron + Steelix + Tyranitar, that sounds pretty exciting!

However, the last sentence of the Rock Horn gave South Wind some ideas.

Using it to play a particular movement might summon a terrifying being.

Does the terrifying being refer to the legendary elves?

In this world, the legendary Pokémon that possess divine status are basically terrifying beings capable of easily destroying a country. Even legendary Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre, if no one stops them from fighting, can easily destroy or submerge a continent.

However, who are the legendary Rock-type Pokémon?

Regirock, Terakion, Diancie.

Nanfeng could only think of these three people, but none of them could be described as "terrifying".

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Summoning this terrifying being also involves a special musical piece, and I probably won't need this item in my lifetime.

Nanfeng carefully placed the Rock Horn in his backpack. Compared to Steelix's Mega Evolution Stone and Magical Drink, he felt that this was the biggest gain from his trip.

(The Rock Horn is not my own creation; it comes from the Pokémon Quest series of games.)

(Okay, now I'll start writing the bonus chapter.)

92. South wind? What kind of wind and clouds are we talking about? (Bonus chapter)

On the morning of the fourth day of the holiday, Nanfeng was already at the airport in Ancheng City.

Open your phone, enable parental controls, and lock the location of the Little Genius Watch.

As expected, another accident occurred. The messenger bird got lost again. The potato and beef brisket restaurant owner's shop was clearly located in the southern district of Ancheng, but the location showed that Pokobi had been wandering around the northern district for the past few days.

Nanfeng is certain that if it weren't for his previous experience of flying all the way to Qiantang after leaving the city gates, the messenger bird would probably be heading towards the capital right now.

Nanfeng checked the time; it was 6 a.m., and the flight was at 8 a.m.

"Luckily I got up early," Nanfeng said, having booked a hotel room in Ancheng a day in advance.

After having breakfast and checking out of the room, Nanfeng hailed a taxi at the door and headed to the location indicated by the GPS.

When the south wind arrived, the two of them were sleeping in an alley, where a few cardboard boxes blocked the wind and served as their makeshift nest.

“Just chirp!!(≧▽≦)ゞ”

"dei李dei李~~"

Pocobi and the messenger bird waved to the south wind.

Seeing how energetic they were, Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly could imagine what life was like for these two little guys before they met him.

"Are you lost again?" the South Wind asked the messenger bird.

Messenger bird: (﹁﹁) You should play dumb at this time.

Nanfeng sighed softly, took out two hot scallion pancakes from her bag and handed them to them. She had bought them on the way, knowing they must be having a hard time.

"If you have no sense of direction, don't run around anymore. You two will follow me from now on." Nanfeng patted the messenger bird's head, bent down to hug Pocoby, and turned to leave.

"Let's go to the airport. We're not going back to school yet; we need to go somewhere else."

"Chajiduyi!! (Let's go!)"

The messenger bird watched the south wind turn and leave. The early autumn sun shone brightly, casting a faint glow that made him appear dazzling, vaguely overlapping with a familiar figure.

“Dei Li! (Wait for me!)” the messenger bird hurriedly chased after it.

"Hurry up, or you'll have to fly there yourself!"

Messenger Bird: ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3

..

Ohara City.

Snorlax Hotel chain.

"This is senior Fang Cheng. He graduated in 16 and has been out of school for two years. He was also a key member of our Tree Fruit Club."

"We'll have to trouble Senior Fang Cheng to take us to the Abundant Forest today!"

"It's no trouble at all. It's an honor to be able to go on an outdoor adventure with these younger students."

"By being with you young people, I'm also hoping to rediscover my own youth and energy."

"After all, doing research in a multi-province joint laboratory every day, after a while, you'll feel like you're rusting," Fang Cheng said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking: If it weren't for pursuing Li Tiantian, the daughter of the famous tree fruit expert Li Jiangliu, I wouldn't have given up my work in the laboratory to come out and mentor some new students. My boss is still waiting for me to give him the data.

If I make a mistake, I won't get any bonus this year, and I won't even have to work until the end of the year before I'm fired!

But as long as I can catch up with Li Tiantian, it will all be worth it! With Li Jiangliu, a famous tree fruit breeder, as my father-in-law, it's only a matter of time before I make a name for myself in the breeding industry.

For this reason, Fang Cheng specially wore a handsome suit today; anyone who didn't know better would think he was attending an important banquet.
