Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Nanfeng remembered that Asha had just said that this was a nurturing plan given to her by her grandfather.

Nanfeng does remember the episode about the Lava Gym in the anime. This Mulla is Aysa's grandfather, and he has also served as the Elite Four member of the Hoenn region!

"So, this is essentially the experience of a Celestial King in raising Pokémon?!" Nanfeng was immediately relieved.

I quickly opened it and examined it carefully.

Coal Turtle Chapter: This chapter focuses on training Weather Setters. For Weather Setters of other attributes, the approach is similar; simply replace the attribute materials with those of the corresponding attribute. It also includes instructions on learning the skills Sunny Day and Smoke.

Arcanine Chapter: This chapter focuses on training Arcanine's speed, and includes detailed tutorials on skills, from "Flame Charge" to "Flame Strike".

Blaziken Saga: Leg strength training program, energy control of Fire and Flying types, and Fighting-type move training. Based on the Double Kick and Flame Kick, develop the exclusive move "Flame Double Kick," as well as the theoretical Flame Combo Kick.

"Wow... I've struck gold!" Nanfeng's eyes lit up.

Torkoal and Arcanine themselves may not care, but this Blaziken breeding plan actually records Elite Four member Mura's detailed training of Blaziken, and even involves his own developed special move "Flame Double Kick"!

With this training program, my Blaziken's strength can definitely take a big leap forward.

Perfect timing! My next gym is a Normal-type gym, and I need Blaziken to show off its skills!

Nanfeng put down the cultivation plan and placed it by the bedside. He was only taking a quick look at it now; he would study it in detail later.

There's still one important thing I haven't done.

Following the previous plan, Nanfeng arrived outside the walls of Qiantang University and found a secluded spot where no one could see him, where he joined the other elves.

The giant onyx was coated with a flame-patterned metallic film.

Instantly, Onix completed its evolution.

Its size increased dramatically again, growing from over thirty meters to over fifty meters. Each rock that made up its body also increased from over two meters wide to three meters wide. As for its head... Nanfeng estimated it to be five meters long.

However, the color is somewhat peculiar. The metallic coating on Onix is ​​clearly silver, but when it evolves into Steelix, its body still retains a diamond-like material, only the originally translucent diamond material with some yellow has turned black.

It is a semi-transparent black with a few faint red lines on the surface.

The red lines reminded Nanfeng of the prefix "flame pattern" on the treasure-grade metal membrane.

From now on, I'll call you that.

From a distance, Steelix looks like a terrifying behemoth that exists solely for destruction!

Nanfeng is very satisfied with its appearance, but he doesn't know if its features will also satisfy people.

Open the Steelix's attribute panel.

Steelix (Steel, Ground) (Flash)

【Level: 41】

[Ability: Forced (Increases the power of attacks with additional effects by 30%, but these additional effects will no longer activate.) Water Resistant (Immune to Water-type moves)]

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

[Skills: Falling Rocks, Impact, Harden, Bind, Knock Down, Rock Smash, Dragon Breath, Curse, Rock Slide, Piercing Sound, Quicksand Hell, Dig, Invisible Rock, Slam, Iron Wall, Sandstorm, Body Lightning, Earthquake, Lightning Fang, Freeze, Lightning Fang, Crunch]

[Item to bring: Sandy rocks]

Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the characteristics.

It's fine if you force it!

Without the Shatter Armor ability, Steelix is ​​essentially without a weakness.

Although its speed will be reduced as a result, it is entirely worth it.

Why would someone as massive as Steelix compete in speed against its rival?

So... the opponent is Groudon?

Why not try having Steelix learn "electromagnetic levitation"?

Both Steelix and Onix use the magnetism in their heads to determine direction. While they may not be as strong as Nosepass in utilizing magnetism, they could theoretically master electromagnetic levitation.

If you master electromagnetic levitation, then Steelix will be able to fly into the sky!

Isn't this better than Groudon?

Groudon: You dare to fly in front of me and see what happens?

(One extra chapter, still 14 chapters owed).

102. Heading to the desert area on Route 111

Back home, Nanfeng began his life as a couch potato.

Cola, movies, games, plus a comfortable beanbag chair.

Mom, I don't want to go out!

Nanfeng made up her mind that she should stay home from now on.

After choosing a movie, adding ice to his cola, and ordering takeout, Nanfeng leaned back on the beanbag chair, took out his handheld console, and prepared to start leveling up.

This time, Nanfeng learned his lesson. His experience with the four dojos showed that the dojos would become stronger after he failed to challenge them, so he decided not to overestimate himself and try to fight in the first match.

Once your Pokémon has gained enough strength, you can defeat it again.

The fifth gym to fight is Petalburg Gym, a Normal-type gym. The gym leader is the protagonist's father, "Siri," a man who, in the manga, stands on Rayquaza's head to stop Kyogre and Groudon from fighting!

But he's not that strong in the game.

Since we're going to fight a gym with a normal type, we need a Fighting-type main character.

Nanfeng opened his Pokémon inventory. He currently had two Fighting-type Pokémon: a Mega King at level 32 and a Blaziken at level 36.

Previously, when Nanfeng was leveling up, he also leveled up the Mighty Chicken and completed its evolution.

Blaziken (Fire, Fighting)

【Level: 36】

[Ability: Speed ​​Boost (Pokémon with this ability gain 1 Speed ​​stage at the end of each turn)]

Individual Values: HP (28), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Spark, Roar, Tackle, Double Kick, Charged Flame Strike, Foresight, Sand Splatter, Quick Attack, Swallow Return, Slash, Iai Slash, Rock Smash, Jump, Focus Energy, Flame Jet, Flame Kick, Strength]

【Items to carry: Black belt】

Seeing this, Nanfeng called over the Blaziken.

On the spot, a training plan was set up for Asha based on the training scheme given by her grandfather, Mura.

Among them, Nanfeng was most interested in the "Flame Double Kick" move, which combines the double kick and the flame combo kick.

Combining moves is not simple, as can be seen from the difficulty Nanfeng showed when he taught Lizhuangji a double kick and a power-generating technique.

Both the double kick and the power strike are fighting-type moves, and fusing moves of the same type is easier than fusing moves of two different types. Moreover, the Flame Kick is a much more difficult move than the Power Strike.

A Fighting-type double kick followed by a Fire-type Flame Kick. This involves not only the use of strength but also the use of type energy, requiring Blaziken to have sufficient control over type energy!

Fortunately, the key lies in its legs. Just by looking at its long legs, you can tell that Blaziken has impressive leg skills.

Nanfeng is very confident in his Blaziken.

It's only a matter of time before it learns this powerful move. Nanfeng has assigned it training tasks, so let it train on its own.

Use the "Lightning Flash" kick to train leg explosiveness; use consecutive double kicks to train leg endurance; use the "Flame Kick" to train leg attribute control.

Nanfeng specially ordered a non-flammable target online to use for training Blaziken by ramming it against a door.

Turning back, Nanfeng controlled his character to leave the LavaCity Gym, went to the Pokémon Center first to treat his Steelix, and then went to Meteor Falls to battle in groups.

Let's test whether Steelix can one-shot monsters with Rock Slide.

As soon as Nanfeng stepped out the door, he ran into his formidable rival, Xiaoyao.

[Haruka: Have you finished challenging the gym yet? I bet this opponent isn't much of a challenge for you!]

[Haruka: I won't give up either! I'll teach this young gym leader a lesson!]

[Haruka: Oh, right, I have an extra pair of glasses here. Consider it a congratulatory gift for defeating the LavaCover Gym!]

[Item Obtained: GOGO Goggles]

GOGO Goggles: Protect your eyes from sandstorms (You can now enter the sandstorm-affected areas of Route 111.)

After saying that, Xiaoyao hurriedly ran into the Furnace Gym, but it was unclear whether she would end up teaching Aysa a lesson or being taught a lesson by Aysa.

“We can go to the desert region now,” Nanfeng thought carefully about what was in the desert.

I remember you could get a rare item called "Fossil" in the desert on Route 111.

Fossils can have their DNA extracted using machines and then be brought back to life!

This kind of cutting-edge technology already exists in reality, and in the game, you can also go to Devon Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to revive yourself.

"Let's go take a look!" Nanfeng controlled his character and headed towards the desert on Route 111.

He was quite interested in elves that could be resurrected using fossils.

Two of the Pokémon are of particular interest to me.

One of them is a monstrous gnathus.

With its decent base stats and already strong offensive capabilities, coupled with the "Strong Jaw" ability, it's practically a dominant force capable of crushing anything!

Furthermore, it was originally designed based on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and if possible, Nanfeng would like it to be her land mount.

Just imagine riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex down the street, it would be so cool!

Secondly, there's the pterosaur, which is capable of MEGA evolution, so its strength should not be underestimated.

The key point is that as Pokémon resurrected from fossils, they naturally possess the Rock type, so they can also benefit from the attribute boost from Rock Horn.

Although neither of the two Pokémon has a specific ability to counter Sandstorm, their strength and abilities seem sufficient to make them members of the Sandstorm squad.

If I can find a suitable candidate, I wouldn't mind training them, and then the Sandstorm Squad will be fully assembled. (Okay)

However, Nanfeng only thought about it, because he remembered that the Pokémon that could be resurrected from fossils in the Hoenn region were usually Lilich and Archaeopteryx, and the evolved forms of the two Pokémon were Cinnabar and Archaeopteryx.

Okay, if he's not good-looking enough and not capable enough, Nanfeng has absolutely no interest in him.

Arriving at Route 111, with the GOGO goggles on, Southwind was able to travel freely through the desert.

In the not-so-large desert, there were many trainers like Nanfeng wearing goggles and struggling to walk. If you were to battle them here, the battle scene would naturally be affected by sandstorm weather.

Nanfeng quietly moved Garchomp to the starting lineup and equipped Blaziken with the Exp. ThyssenKrupp.

As usual, when you arrive at a new map, first figure out the types of Pokémon that will appear there, pick up the items on the ground, and then defeat all the trainers.

103. Tower of Phantoms

It was five hours later when we finished exploring the desert area of ​​Route 111.

Midway through, Nanfeng ate takeout, prepared a delicious dinner for the elves, and watched three different movies. It was almost bedtime by then.

The map of the desert region is not large, but Nanfeng still took a relatively long time to find it.

Because now there are two new features in the map search: one is treasure hunting with a treasure detector, and the other is to let the Smeargle use its sweet scent to see if it can attract some rare Pokémon.

The treasure hunt device was as effective as ever, and we found two magical candies in the vast desert.

In this way, Nanfeng got four magic candies.

The sweet aroma no longer attracted rare spirits; instead, only ordinary spirits appeared.

There are only four types of Pokémon that inhabit the desert region of Route 111: Sandshrew, Trapinch, Azkaban, and Spine Cactus.

Among them, Trapinch is considered to have more potential. Its final evolution is Flygon, which is a Ground/Dragon type with the ability Levitate.

Ground-type can fly... so it belongs to the category of rogue ninja.

Southwind wasn't very interested in Flygon, mainly because he already had Garchomp, which was also a Garchomp. Besides, Flygon wasn't suitable for a Sandstorm team.

After exploring the entire desert region, Nanfeng pinpointed the location where he would collect the fossils.

A towering stone tower with two stories stands in the very middle of Desert 930.

I glanced at my watch; it was 11 p.m.

Let's take the fossils and go to sleep!
