Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

This is great news.

The Chimney Mountain dungeon can be challenged once a month, which means you can get a treasure-level spirit item every month!

Beautiful!

Previously, the handheld console only produced Treasure-level Pokémon items, which gave Nanfeng the idea of ​​searching for treasures in high-level, dangerous areas. With a secret base he carried, he could live comfortably in the wild. 0.7

But now that truly high-end resources have a source, our need for external resources no longer exists.

There's no need to risk your life for resources anymore.

Furthermore, since the handheld console already has one instance, if you continue forward in the story, there will definitely be a second instance!

Entrusting Thunder Charcoal to Blaziken is the only Fire-type Pokémon in its own Pokémon lineup, making it the perfect choice for this Charcoal.

As for the last reward...

Meteorite.

In the section for valuable items, the description consists of only one redundant sentence.

"Meteorite from outer space"

If a meteorite doesn't come from outer space, can it still be called a meteorite?

Nanfeng put it in his bag, and when he needed to use the "Repay Kindness" skill again, he could go back to Autumnleaf Town to exchange it with the professor.

121. Mirage in the Secret Realm

Northern part of the Dragon Kingdom.

Tian Ding Mountain Range, Level C Danger Zone.

As a Class C danger zone, this is the adventure destination for most trainers, boasting relatively strong Pokémon and good Pokémon resources. Therefore, the number of trainers entering the Zenjou Mountains through Yokoyama City every day reaches over 100,000.

However, today, the road from Yokoyama City to the Tenzen Mountains has been closed.

The Tian Ding Mountain Range only allows exit, not entry.

There has been no official explanation yet. However, two groups of strong individuals from the Yokoyama City Trainers Association and the military have already arrived.

Li Datian got off the car at the city gate, walked straight through the blocked sentry post, and then released a giant salamander that carried him deep into the Tian Ding Mountains.

Ten minutes later, he saw a bizarre scene.

A red crack appeared at the summit of Tian Ding Mountain. This crack wasn't on any object, but rather in space. It stood out starkly from the surrounding scenery, like a beautiful painting that had been ripped open and the wall behind it painted red.

"A spatial rift?" Li Datian raised an eyebrow and accelerated his descent.

Many military tents have already been set up next to the large opening.

As soon as they landed, a soldier stepped forward to salute and greet them.

"Major Li, the commander is waiting for you!"

"Okay," Li Datian nodded and followed the soldier into the tent.

A middle-aged man was resting with his eyes closed inside the tent when he heard the noise and opened them.

"Sir, what brings you here?" Li Datian asked.

"What else could it be about that I summoned you, the top elf investigator from the Dragon Kingdom? It must be about illegal forces," the old chief replied, gesturing for Li Datian to sit down.

"You saw the spatial rift when you came in, right?"

Li Datian nodded.

"This is a spatial rift that appeared two days ago. It has been basically explored, and the secret realm we arrived at is a large active volcano!" the old leader said.

"During the first exploration, our soldiers saw mirages inside."

"Mirage? What's that?" Li Datian didn't quite understand. The mirage he knew referred to a seascape, a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction and total reflection of light.

"The technicians told me it was an image recorded due to a special magnetic field; in other words, it's footage of something that happened in that secret place."

Is there such a thing?

Li Datian felt he had learned something new and asked curiously, "What's in it?"

The leader raised his hand to signal, and the guard immediately placed a laptop in front of Li Datian and opened a video to play.

In the video, a group of trainers dressed in red and blue are engaged in a life-or-death battle on a volcano. Suddenly, a young man in white enters the battlefield with a Blaziken. The Blaziken overwhelmingly defeats all the Pokémon from both groups with fluid and powerful movements, creating a truly breathtaking scene.

However, the only drawback is that the image is somewhat blurry, making it impossible to clearly see most people's faces.

The first video segment has ended.

"this..."

"Don't rush, there's more," the commander gestured to the guards to continue.

The guards immediately played the second video.

This time it was a little clearer; a middle-aged man in a red and black trench coat was operating a machine. Seemingly sensing something, he turned to look to the side, and a voice rang out.

"You're the trainer who defeated Himura?"

"I'm giving you a chance to become a member of our Fireball Team and welcome the arrival of the Earth King together! You will then have the honor of witnessing the expansion of the Endless Continent!"

"That would be an opportunity to create and evolve new Pokémon, and it would also give us humans more space to develop."

Team Magma, King of the Earth, Exploration of the Endless Continent

Li Datian looked puzzled; he had never heard of these terms before.

The video isn't over yet.

A cold male voice suddenly broke in from off-screen to answer him.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. The Groudon you wish to awaken will not bring more land; on the contrary, it will only bring trouble to this world!"

Groudon!!!

Li Datian's eyes widened. Team Magma wanted to awaken Groudon, the Earth King?

Indeed, Groudon is said to be the embodiment of the earth, and has long been described in mythology as an elf who created the land and expanded the continent. The title of King of the Earth is well-deserved.

"You don't know what's good for you!" The middle-aged man in the video sneered and threw a Poké Ball.

A gigantic fire-breathing camel makes its appearance, and a great battle is about to break out.

But the second video ends here.

The guards continued playing the third video.

In the first video, Blaziken kicks Krookodile away, and Luna Power falls from mid-air, completely defeating Krookodile. Just over ten seconds later, a Mega Camerupt, seemingly blasted out of the black mist on the right, lands at the middle-aged man's feet, its Mega Evolution complete, and it loses its ability to battle.

"So it still doesn't work?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself, taking out three Poké Balls to recall the defeated Pokémon. "I still need to actually find Groudon first."

He reached behind him, boarded a helicopter, lowered the ladder, and flew away, leaving behind a single sentence.

"We will meet again sooner or later. When that time comes, I will bring the King of the Earth! You will regret not joining us today, but choosing to be our enemy."

The video ends.

Li Datian remained silent, deep in thought, making a reasonable analysis based on the information he gleaned from the video.

The commander looked at Li Datian and asked, "What do you think?"

"Judging from the video, Team Magma seems to be an organization that uses the awakening of Groudon as a method to expand the Great 940 Land. However, I have doubts about their true purpose," Li Datian said thoughtfully. The reason for his doubts was that this purpose was a bit... inexplicable.

Would a normal person want to expand land? No, to be precise, it should be to create land.

"There shouldn't be any information about the Fire Rock Team in the Dragon Kingdom's investigator database. I'll contact the World Police Organization when I get back to see if I can find any information."

The old leader nodded slightly and began to speak.

"Although we haven't received any news of any volcanoes in China disappearing yet, the people in the video are speaking Chinese, so they are very likely currently operating within our territory. I need you to pinpoint the target as soon as possible, and then strike decisively and eradicate it completely!"

"If a god-like being like Groudon were to be awakened, it would inevitably lead to a catastrophe!"

"I will try my best to have the technicians draw a portrait of the middle-aged man who is suspected to be the leader of Team Magma and give it to you."

"As for the young man in the video..."

The old leader and Li Datian both fell silent for a moment.

The best way to get information about Team Magma is to find the young people who fought against them on the volcano. But the video provides too little information.

All I know is that this person is young, around twenty years old, and has a Blaziken with him.

There are so many trainers who own Blaziken, one of the three starter Pokémon, that it's impossible to find one.

122. Heading to Petalburg Gym

Clearing the Chimney Mountain instance will finally put Nanfeng's mind at ease.

The next thing to do is head to Petalburg Gym and defeat the protagonist's father, Senri!

After obtaining the Libra badge, you can use surfing to travel to the next city.

To be absolutely sure, Nanfeng spent a few more days leveling up, raising Garchomp and Blaziken to level 50.

Then they headed to Orange City.

Heal and save your game at the Pokémon Center in Petalburg City before challenging the Petalburg Gym.

The first time the protagonist came, his father would wait in the first room of the gym. But now that Nanfeng has officially challenged the Petalburg Gym, Senri is nowhere to be found. He is now in the deepest part of the gym, and you will have to fight your way there to see him.

Nanfeng was faced with a choice between two doors.

One door is labeled "Hit," and another is labeled "Speed."

The trainers you encounter in different rooms will have different combat focuses.

These low-level minions have Pokémon levels between 30 and 40. Opponents of this strength pose no challenge to Nanfeng at all. At most, he can use them to guess the Pokémon of the Gym Leaders in advance.

For example, the King Swallow in the Speed ​​Room.

It has both normal and flying attributes, giving it the ability to counter fighting-type challengers.

Nanfeng thought Qianli would likely bring one with him.

(You might not believe it, but I just brought a level 32 Roborock, a level 24 Kirlia, and a level 29 Wartortle, and kept pressing Z to use attack skills with a speed boost, and then we got wiped out by a level 26 Swellow in a speed room....)

Another way is to gain experience points.

Defeating a trainer's Pokémon yields twice the experience of defeating a wild Pokémon.

Nanfeng cleared all seven rooms of the Petalburg Gym in sequence. Normally, you could reach Senri after clearing only three rooms, so Nanfeng's action of clearing all seven rooms was essentially raiding his own entire base.

It belongs to be full of filial piety.

Arriving at the door of the last room where Qianli was.

Nanfeng suddenly put down the handheld console and ran down to the lobby.

Inside the hall, Togepi and Wobbuffet were still "battling." Ever since they bought the game console, the two of them had become a video game addict, a girl and a boy, completely beyond saving.

For some reason, Sure enough, when Weng and Pocobi played games together, they inexplicably leveled up, just like other Pokémon training their skills. Nanfeng didn't pay much attention to it after that.

“Chajiduyi! o(^▽^)o”

"so~oo~na~sei~ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3"

In a battle game, Togepi emerged victorious, leaving Wobbuffet to swallow the bitter pill of defeat alone. Then, Togepi, with its tiny steps, grabbed a paintbrush from the table and added another stroke to Wobbuffet's chubby face.

However, Nanfeng felt that there was no need for that anymore.

Because now it's like Weng has washed his face with ink, leaving no blank space. On the other hand, Pocobi's face only has a light touch.

Nanfeng suspected that this was Pocobi Poor Old Man deliberately letting things slide.

The lucky one can't possibly lose a game!

"Time for a snack!" Nanfeng picked up Togepi, took out a top-quality Pokémon cube made specifically for it, and fed it.

Pocoby ate it in one bite. "Chichiduyi! Hehe (≧◇≦) Hehe!"

Nanfeng took the opportunity to play a couple of rounds, when he suddenly noticed a burning gaze.

As expected of Weng: (☆﹃☆)

Since it was his own Pokémon, he had no choice but to spoil it. Nanfeng could only take out another top-grade Pokémon Cube and hand it to Wobbuffet.
