Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

105. Tower Sweep

Upon reaching the third level, Nanfeng was still presented with two fossils.

However, it is slightly different from before.

The two fossils are quite different. One has a feather-like pattern on its surface and is similarly broken to the previous two, making one worry that it might crumble if picked up. The other fossil still has a crustacean pattern, but it is slightly larger, with clearer, more complete, and more robust patterns.

"Fossils from other regions can be found, and... even within the same type of fossil, there are differences in quality."

The discovery of fossils from other regions is a good thing for Nanfeng.

At least this way, the fossil pterosaurs and monstrous dinosaurs he was hoping for could appear.

Even among fossils of the same type, there are differences in quality.

Nanfeng once again chose a fossil with crustacean patterns.

The moment Nanfeng picked up the fossil, he returned to his room.

The Tower of Illusions has collapsed.

Nan “930” opened his backpack and found two fossils with different names in the valuable items section.

Decaying carapace fossil: Fossil of an ancient Pokémon that lived in the sea long ago, which appears to be part of its carapace.

Shell fossil: Fossils of ancient Pokémon that lived in the sea long ago, which appear to be part of a shell.

The descriptions are the same, but the names clearly indicate a difference in quality...

Nanfeng wasn't in a hurry to revive and started wandering around the desert area again.

The third Phantom Tower was quickly found; it was a two-story, decaying Phantom Tower, and recommended entry level was 35...

Nanfeng didn't go in this time.

It's already midnight, I'll go to sleep now and talk about it tomorrow morning.

Nothing happened overnight. Nanfeng got up at 7 a.m. sharp the next morning, did some light exercise, and then took care of breakfast for himself and the elves before turning on the handheld console again.

It appeared in the desert region, but the Phantom Tower that was discovered last night had disappeared. Nanfeng controlled the protagonist to wander around the desert region and quickly found it again.

It's still the second floor, the decaying Phantom Tower. Recommended entry level: 35...

Before proceeding, Nanfeng will first go to Devon Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Kanaz City to revive the two fossils.

In reality, reviving a fossil into a living elf might take an extremely long time, but in a game, it would only take the time of a single conversation.

First, revive the decaying fossilized carapace.

A sprite immediately appeared in Nanfeng's sprite list.

It's a fossil helmet. It seems Nanfeng guessed wrong; the shell fossil doesn't correspond to an ancient feathered insect.

Open the properties of the fossil helmet to view them.

[Fossil Helmet (Rock, Water)]

【Level: 5】

[Characteristic: Combat Armor (Immune to vital hits)]

Individual Values: HP (12), Attack (1), Special Attack (12), Defense (23), Special Defense (14), Speed ​​(7)

[Skills: Harden, Grab]

[Items to carry: none]

Hmm, how should I rate it?

Let's give it four words.

No good.

Nanfeng revived an ordinary crustacean fossil this time.

The Pokémon obtained is still Kabuto, but its attributes are vastly different from those of Kabuto resurrected from decaying carapace fossils.

[Fossil Helmet (Rock, Water)]

【Level: 5】

[Characteristic: Combat Armor (Immune to vital hits)]

Individual Values: HP (23), Attack (31), Special Attack (22), Defense (13), Special Defense (7), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Absorb, Harden, Splash Sand, Grab]

[Items to carry: none]

It has 2V in attack and speed, and 4 skills.

Its strength is visibly high.

The results were obtained by comparing the two fossil helmets.

Pokémon revived from normal fossils are stronger than those revived from decayed fossils.

At first glance, this doesn't seem like good news. After all, every fossil obtained is the same, so reviving a fossil is nothing more than gambling on stones or winning a lottery. And having decayed fossils is still gambling on stones, but it seems that a large portion of the stones are already ruined beforehand.

But Nanfeng has another guess.

Since there are decaying fossils, are there any better fossils?

Since there are two- or three-story phantom towers, is it possible for there to be a four-story phantom tower?

Nanfeng guides the protagonist back to the desert region to try and reach a better Phantom Tower.

However, this is obviously not something that comes easily.

Each Phantom Tower requires you to enter it yourself and obtain the fossil before it disappears. Otherwise, it will automatically disappear after three hours, and a new Phantom Tower will be generated.

Nanfeng wasn't in a hurry; they went in one by one.

That night, they still hadn't encountered the fourth-floor Phantom Tower, but Nanfeng had some good news.

The Pokémon that appear in the Phantom Tower are random, but not limited to Ground-type; Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon may also appear.

This means that Southwind might randomly encounter Tyranitar and Metagross!

Of course, the south wind didn't encounter them at all throughout the day.

"Three more Phantom Towers, then I'll go to sleep," Nanfeng yawned, glancing at the time; it was almost midnight. He was mainly exhausted today, after all, he had to personally go into the game and grind.

I've already climbed over a hundred flights of stairs today. If I continue playing Phantom Tower tomorrow, I won't need to exercise in the morning.

"Squeak..." The door to the screening room suddenly opened a crack.

It's Pocobi. "Chajiduyi o(^▽^)o"

"Are you looking for Wobbuffet? It's already asleep," Nanfeng said to Togepi, who often played with Wobbuffet in the past.

“Chaji buyi~~” Pocobi shook its head, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and flew down in front of Nanfeng. Then it twisted its body and lay down on the cushion next to Nanfeng.

"Are you going to sleep with me?" Nanfeng poked Bokobi's cheek.

Because the messenger bird often delivers takeout until late at night, Poppy, who sometimes feels lonely sleeping alone, will fly into his room to sleep.

Today will probably be the same.

"Then you should get some sleep," Nanfeng said, turning off the sound from the handheld console.

I'll have to go to sleep after playing three more rounds.

With a quick glance down, Nanfeng found the next Phantom Tower.

"0.7 one two three four...four floors!" Nanfeng's eyes lit up; his luck had turned!

Wait a minute, this good luck seems a bit too coincidental; the south wind has a strange sense of familiarity...

Nanfeng glanced at Pocoby, then at the four-story Phantom Tower on the handheld console.

Images of Shiny Ralts and Shiny Cocoyora flashed through my mind...

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head that gave me goosebumps!

(To those who say I don't check my work after I finish writing, let me explain. Take Wobbuffet's Individual Values ​​(IVs) for example. My author backend clearly shows that its Attack is 31. But when I check the image on my phone, it says 14331. How am I supposed to change that? I'm completely baffled...)

(A few words were misspelled or missing, which is probably my fault, but if there are extra words, most of them were added by Feilu's automatic anti-piracy measures, and there's nothing I can do about it.)

(More chapters to come).

106. Steelix vs. Aggron

That day, the messenger bird brought Togepi to deliver takeout. It was also the first time I had ever seen Togepi. I gave it a berry and plucked it.

Then, when I looked down, I bumped into a shiny Ralts.

Nanfeng encountered a messenger bird and a Pokopi at the entrance of Qiantang University. After taking them to his home and arranging rooms for them, Nanfeng petted them again and immediately encountered a shiny Cocodora.

Although he usually plays Popovich quite often, the fact that he encountered flashes or good luck several times in a row right after playing Popovich made Nanfeng a little uneasy.

Could it be that this Popoby is truly incredibly lucky or blessed by heaven?

Togepi has been a symbol of good luck since ancient times, both in the Pokémon world of the anime and in the present world.

There's a saying among people: If you treat Pocobi gently, it will share its good fortune with him.

Especially considering that Popoby possesses the hidden traits of "Heavenly Grace" and "Super Luck," this statement gains even greater credibility.

17 Of course, the effects of the Serene Grace and Super Luck abilities do not directly bring luck; Serene Grace increases the probability of additional effects from moves.

Super luck only increases the probability of hitting a vital point.

Pocoby, who can be called a symbol of luck, has traits called Divine Grace and Super Luck... which always evoke some other associations.

Heavenly grace, a gift from heaven and earth! A blessing from the heavens!

Extremely lucky, literally.

Southwind didn't catch Tokoy, and doesn't know whether it has the Serene Grace or Super Luck ability.

But luck itself is a very mysterious thing; it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.

In the future, if anything important happens, I will definitely go to Bobo!

Nanfeng made up her mind.

However, upon closer reflection, it's possible that both Shiny Ralts and Shiny Cocoyora were created because of Togepi.

The only "shining moment" I encountered in the game by luck was Makushita Rikishi...

Nanfeng felt like the words "unlucky" were written all over his face.

For a moment, Nanfeng didn't know whether Pocoby's ability to bring good luck was a good thing or a bad thing.

The good thing is that it can really bring good luck; the bad thing is that you might just be unlucky...

Upon arriving at the fourth floor of the Phantom Tower, a prompt box popped up in front of me.

[Enter the dungeon "Ancient Phantom Tower"?]

Recommended entry level for this dungeon: 45

Named "Ancient", with a recommended level of 45, the Pokémon I encountered this time should be around level 47 or 48.

Nanfeng chose to enter.

The light and shadow flickered before his eyes, and Nanfeng entered the Tower of Illusions once again.

Unlike the two- or three-story Phantom Towers we'd visited before, the first floor of the four-story Phantom Tower seemed much larger, with the space resembling the size of two or three basketball courts combined together.

In the center of the hall, an Aggron held its head high, awaiting the challenge of intruders.

Nanfeng saw its level above its head: LV47.

"As for Aggron..." Nanfeng threw out a Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and a figure even larger than Aggron appeared, landing heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth trembles!
