Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

It's a pity that Zhang Feng doesn't have Milotic's Mega Stone right now, otherwise he would really like to see what Mega Milotic, which didn't appear in the original work, looks like.

Bond evolution cannot be activated because the intimacy level is not yet at its maximum!

However, Milotic actually reached the gold aptitude level after evolving?

Gold-tier Pokémon are generally considered to be the best of the current version, such as Ash's Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape, and Pikachu!

This means that Zhang Feng's Milotic will obviously become a very powerful being!

It's worth noting that some level-two gods, or divine beasts without divine authority, probably only have a gold aptitude. You can imagine how powerful Milotic's gold aptitude is!

However, whether this is due to the outstanding talent of the pufferfish itself, or the excellent effect of the beautiful scales rewarded by the system that improved Milotic's aptitude, remains unknown!

However, Zhang Feng felt that while both had their benefits, the effects of the beautiful scales were greater!

With a hint of joy, Zhang Feng placed his hand on Milotic's body!

Milotic at this moment is no longer the ugly fish it once was; it has truly transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan!

Furthermore, Milotic's body has reached a length of 8.5 meters!

Feeling the cool, refreshing body in his hands, Milotic let out a joyful sound!

"Congratulations, Milotic!"

In fact, even Milotic itself didn't know that it hadn't evolved despite following Nurse Joy for so long, but then it ended up in Zhang Feng's hands!

This new trainer happens to have a beautiful scale in her hand, which can successfully evolve her!

As a result, Milotic fulfilled its long-cherished wish!

So, Milotic nuzzled against Zhang Feng affectionately!

"Ding dong, Milotic's affinity has increased to 200 points!"

One evolution increased Milotic's friendship level by 100 points, demonstrating just how much friendship can be boosted after fulfilling Pokémon's wishes!

As Milotic evolved, Zhang Feng began to find a worthy opponent for her, hoping to verify Milotic's current strength!

In a river in Petalburg Woods, a powerful Gyarados appeared at level 28. Zhang Feng, along with Milotic, challenged it!

When faced with provocation from Zhang Feng and Milotic, Gyarados couldn't help but roar in anger!

Soon, the two Water-type Pokémon began to battle!

Gyarados immediately used Crunch, and Zhang Feng immediately responded to Milotic in response!

"Milotic, unleash Tornado!"

The next moment, a waterspout appeared in the water and immediately dragged Gyarados into it. With continuous attacks, Gyarados also suffered huge damage!

"Dragon Tail!"

While Gyarados was injured, Milotic began to gather Dragon-type energy, a deep blue energy that immediately began to cover Milotic's tail!

The enormous fish tail slammed hard into Gyarados!

With just one strike, Gyarados was completely defeated!

"Ding! Milotic defeated Gyarados, gaining 251 experience points and leveling up to level 26!"

A blue-quality, level 28 Gyarados was completely powerless against Milotic, which shows how terrifying a gold-quality Gyarados is!

With Milotic, Zhang Feng's strength was enhanced once again!

As they continued their journey, Zhang Feng arrived at a completely new place!

This is still Orange Blossom Forest, but it is filled with towering trees. Under the trees, you can almost feel isolated from the world and hardly see the sun!

It was exactly noon, and Zhang Feng released all of his Pokémon!

Forest Lizard, Pidgeotto, Milotic, and Rayquaza, which had shrunk in size, all came to Zhang Feng!

To prevent overly powerful Pokémon from getting close, Rayquaza even slightly revealed its aura to keep other Pokémon away!

Mix various fruits together, add some seasonings, and your raw salad is ready!

Pidgey caught a few fish in the nearby river, and Zhang Feng quickly prepared them and put them on the fire to grill!

A simple lunch is done!

Just then, the forest lizard seemed to sense something and looked into the distance!

There stood a Treecko, looking warily at Zhang Feng and the Pokémon beside him!

Zhang Feng's eyes lit up when he saw these wooden geckos!

"So, we've accidentally wandered into a forest of tree geckos?"

……

Chapter 19 The Tree Spirit Clan, Kidnapping the Starter Families!

In the original storyline, Ash left Petalburg City and encountered a group of Taillow. He subdued the leader of the Taillow group, which led to the extraordinary Swellow that he later became!

Before arriving in Rustboro City, Ash also encountered his own version of the Pokémon, a special Treecko. He met it in Treecko's forest!

Upon realizing that he had entered the Wood Gecko Forest, Zhang Feng couldn't help but focus his attention on the forest lizards!

After receiving a signal from its trainer, the Grovyle naturally understood and immediately leaped up the tree, heading towards Treecko!

"Power up!"

As the forest lizard spoke, the three-headed gecko looked puzzled, but its previous vigilance lessened considerably!

In fact, this is true for the starter Pokémon in all regions. Fire-type starter Pokémon are very difficult to encounter in the wild, let alone in any particular group!

Even Ash, whose Fire-type starter Pokémon was almost always obtained after being abandoned by other trainers!

The same applies to Kanto Charmander, Sinnoh Chimchar, and later Tepig!

Therefore, you can only encounter Charmander and other Pokémon in protected areas like Charizard Valley, but without status, you won't be qualified to catch them!

Conversely, the Grass-type starter Pokémon, such as Bulbasaur and Treecko, generally have groups in the forest!

As for aquatic systems, there are definitely groups of them in rivers with sufficient resources, such as Squirtle, Alligator, and Mudkip!

Since Zhang Feng wanted to make his system space more vibrant, how could he let go of a wild gecko clan he had encountered?

Therefore, Zhang Feng sent the forest lizard as an envoy to the Wood Gecko's tribe to gain their trust. If he could persuade them with his silver tongue and bring them into his system space, that would be even better!

Although Zhang Feng didn't plan to train another Sceptile King, watching the Treecko clan grow and prosper was a wonderful thing!

After all, Grovyle is the evolved form of Treecko, so naturally, people will have a certain affinity for their evolved forms!

After the forest lizard and the tree geckos finished talking, the tree geckos invited the forest lizard and Zhang Feng to rest in their tribe!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng was overjoyed!

It can be said that wild Pokémon, although some may have fiery tempers, Grass-type Pokémon are generally not malicious!

When they saw that Zhang Feng had a Grovyle, the Treeckoes accepted him. After all, how could a trainer who could own a Grovyle be a bad person?

When Zhang Feng led the forest lizards to the Treecko's clan, they met the Treecko's chieftain, an old and frail Treecko!

These geckos, in total, should number over 150, none of which have successfully evolved into forest lizards, let alone a Sceptile King. Their levels are almost all below level 10!

In terms of qualifications, most of them are blue and green, but there isn't a single purple one?

Perhaps it originally existed, but Ash caught it, making it the version of the Pokémon in the Hoenn League. Later, Sceptile became so powerful that it could defeat legendary Pokémon!

Zhang Feng was also aware of this plot; it was simply that the Tree of Life of the Treecko clan had died, and the Treeckoes were preparing to leave this place to find a new habitat!

But thanks to Ash and Treecko's efforts, new branches sprouted on the Tree of Life, which led Treecko to acknowledge Ash and leave with him!

These wood geckos are the elves that were left behind!

However, although the mother tree's roots did not die, it would still take an endless amount of time for it to grow back into a towering tree!

Therefore, during this time, the tree geckos are also searching for new habitats!

After learning of the Treecko's concerns, Zhang Feng and the Forest Lizard also addressed the Treecko clan leader!

“Greeves’ Tree Tree, I know a secluded paradise where you can live undisturbed. There are endless trees and plenty of food, enough for you to thrive and multiply!”

"Furthermore, there are no natural enemies inside. Otherwise, if you stayed in Petalburg Woods, there would always be other powerful Pokémon. Since you haven't evolved, how could you be a match for those other powerful Pokémon?"

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Chief Mu Shougong also showed a hint of joy on his face!

His greatest wish now is to lead his people to find a new home!

Only in this way can the destruction of the Wood Gecko clan be avoided!

Because all sorts of Pokémon exist in Petalburg Woods, and these Treeckoes are not very strong. If they encounter a powerful opponent, it will be a crisis of extinction for their entire species!

Therefore, if the paradise that Zhang Feng described truly exists, they wouldn't mind relocating their entire clan!

That is, the relocation process may cause huge casualties to one's own community!

Seeing that the Wood Gecko Chieftain hesitated, Zhang Feng exchanged a glance with the Forest Lizard and smiled!

Nothing is more convincing than firsthand experience!

Led by the forest lizard, the Treecko Chieftain entered Zhang Feng's system space and was astonished to find such a vast paradise inhabited only by a few hundred Pidgeys and Pipikays!

Even the clan leader of the Wood Guardian couldn't help but show a look of ecstatic joy!

So, after returning, he rallied the Wood Geckos in his clan to leave with him and live in Zhang Feng's system space!

The moment the Treecko clan heard that there was no danger in that place, only plenty of food, the entire Treecko clan went wild!

Ultimately, persuaded by the chieftain and the forest lizard, more than a hundred geckos, almost 90% of the spirit geckos, agreed to enter Zhang Feng's system space to live!

However, a few tree geckos decided to stay in the land that gave them birth and nurtured them!

After friendly negotiations, a total of 130 wood geckos entered Zhang Feng's system space to survive, while the remaining 20 stayed where they were!

Even if the abduction is successful, this tree gecko clan will certainly not be wiped out!

Some followed their trainers away, some lived in secluded paradises, and some stayed behind. Whichever Treecko can successfully continue its lineage is the future of Treecko!

After bidding farewell to the remaining Treeckoes, Zhang Feng left them with a large amount of Blue Tangerine Berries before exiting the Orange Blossom Forest!

During this period, none of the elves Zhang Feng encountered were to his liking!

So, basically, Zhang Feng has been traveling and leveling up during this period, and now his three Pokémon have all improved in strength to some extent!

The Forest Lizard has reached level 29, and the Pidgey is level 28!

Milotic, having evolved into its final form and possessing a gold-tier aptitude, actually surpassed Grovyle and Pidgeotto in strength, reaching level 30!

All three members have reached the elite level, which is quite a breakthrough!

This is all thanks to the simulation battle system within the system space, which allows Zhang Feng's Pokémon to endlessly AFK and battle, thus rapidly improving their strength!

Another week passed before Zhang Feng finally emerged from Orange Blossom Forest and entered Kanaz City!

……

Chapter 20: Rustboro City, Rock Gym!

Kanazon City, a major city in the western part of the Hoenn League, is home to the headquarters of Devon Corporation, which is the company of Steven's father, the former Hoenn Champion!

In Kranz City, there is the second gym that Zhang Feng is going to challenge—the Kranz Gym!

Cuckoo, the Gym Leader of the Rustboro City, is a young girl and an excellent teacher at the Rustboro City Pokémon Trainer School!

Cuckoo is skilled at using Rock-type Pokémon, so the Rustboro Gym is also a Rock-type Gym!

Zhang Feng currently has three Pokémon: Grovyle, Pidgeotto, and Milotic, with Grovyle and Milotic having type advantages!

Therefore, there is no need to send Rayquaza to fight against Azalea in a three-on-three gym battle!

After all, it would be a waste of talent to let Rayquaza ride on every opponent!

When Zhang Feng arrived at the Pokémon Center, he met Nurse Joy and handed over his three Pokémon to her to help them recover. Then he heard Nurse Joy say to him!

"So you're Zhang Feng, the one Joey from Orange City was talking about. That Feebas has evolved into Milotic, huh? That's amazing!"

Upon hearing Miss Joey's praise, Zhang Feng's first thought was that Miss Joey from Orange City had come after him!

Anyway, with his eyesight, he couldn't tell the difference between Miss Joy from Orange Blossom City and Miss Joy from Kanaz City, so in this respect, Brock was quite capable!

After Nurse Joy helped Zhang Feng's three Pokémon recover, Zhang Feng took Milotic's Poké Ball and dialed Nurse Joy's number at the Petalburg City Pokémon Center!
