--Metalization--

Not to mention the profound impact it will have on future ore giants, this Cocodola incident is also a very breakthrough step in the entire black gold tunnel project.

Successfully found a suitable entrance to the underground mine, and received a batch of Pokémon who were as active and professional (literally) in looking for iron as they were looking for food. In addition, the miners were familiar with the internal environment of the black gold tunnel and the Pokémon's The method of use gradually became familiar - all aspects were continuously and effectively advanced, and finally two days later, the black gold mine began to officially start large-scale operations.

Mingyao didn't know much about minerals, so the matters at the mine were left to Juyi and the miners of Team Galaxy, while his own energy was mainly focused on infrastructure.In addition to upgrading the "Black Gold Camp" to the "Black Gold Village" as soon as possible, he also had to build a road directly to Zhuqing Village to facilitate the transportation of stone and iron ore in the future.

At the same time, he still has one more headache, and that is the market for the ore.

Judging from the data and reactions given by the miners, the ore output efficiency of the black gold mine should be high and can easily meet their own construction needs.The extra ore will naturally be exported and exchanged for cash and property.

The Galaxy team has never been involved in the ore business in the past. It has neither experience nor connections in this area, so everything has to start from scratch.

Mingyao originally wanted to cooperate directly with the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce, which had the closest relationship with Team Galaxy, but the latter said that they were only a small chamber of commerce and could not handle such a large ore trading order; at the same time, they had been in a bit of trouble recently and it was difficult to protect themselves. , seems to have decided not to walk around the Xicui area in the short term, saying it is to "avoid the limelight."

Although the other party didn't say it clearly, Mingyao roughly guessed that people from Fox Financial were putting pressure on them from the outside, so he didn't force it.

And just when he was having a headache wondering where to find suitable sales outlets, a letter suddenly and quietly appeared on his desk one morning, providing guidance for the next development of him and the Pokémon League. It brought about an unexpected turn of events.

Chapter 54 The difficulty in naming comes back again

"what is this?"

When Mingyao picked up the letter on his desk, he frowned subconsciously.

"Huh? That's the letter delivered by Mr. Postman this morning."

Nono was sitting at her temporary workstation, lowering her head as she drafted a report for Team Galaxy, and said casually: "The postman made it very clear that it was for Chairman Mingyao of the Pokémon League. It was delivered, so I collected it for you."

Mingyao glanced at the ordinary-looking letter, thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Postman... what does he look like?"

"Eh?" Nono was stunned: "This... I'm not too concerned about it. He's probably a middle-aged man in his thirties to 40 years old. He's about the same height as you. He's wearing a blue postman uniform... What's the problem? ?"

What is the problem?It’s a big problem!

As far as Mingyao knows, there are no serious postmen in the Xicui area!

The Xicui area is vast and sparsely populated, and had basically no contact with the international community before the arrival of the Galaxy team. There would be no postal company to set up a post office here.If people here need anything, they either have to make the trip themselves, or they can entrust Team Kong and Team Pearl, who can use mount Pokémon, to ask them to bring something along the way, that's all.

So, where did the postman Mr. Nono mentioned come from?

Suspicious, Mingyao opened the letter carefully, took out the letter paper and glanced at it.

"Is this... a hand-drawn map?"

There was not a word on the letter, only a temporary map that looked like it was drawn with white paper and pencil. A certain point on the map was deeply marked with red ink, which stood out on the white paper.

Although it is just a temporary map drawn with pencil, the person who drew it is obviously very professional. It has all kinds of map elements such as landmarks, compass, contour lines and so on. It does not look like it can be drawn by ordinary people at all.

"Eh? Really, there isn't a word in it. It's such a strange letter..." Nono also stopped what she was doing and moved closer to Mingyao: "This means... I want you to mark this map. Where is it? By the way, where is this map? I don’t seem to see Zhuqing Village on it..."

"It's a map of the area northeast of Heiyao Wilderness - when Xiao Zhao was drawing the map here, I helped copy a few copies, and I have an impression." Mingyao said casually, pointing to a special circular landform on the map: "There It is a giant tree battlefield with a very tall blue sky tree. It was there that Advisor Juyi and I met for the first time.

The location marked by the opponent is not far to the east of the Giant Wood Battlefield..."

Mingyao thought about it carefully. In his memory, it was a forest where a group of flying mantises lived. It was there that his giant pincer mantis was first encountered.

Did the other party want him to go there?What is the purpose?And after all, who is the other person?

Mingyao thought about it for a moment, and found that he really had no clue about this sudden letter, so he put it on the table casually.

I can't come to a conclusion even if I keep thinking about it here. It's better to just go there and have a look. Anyway, Mingyao has been worried about not being able to find a suitable ore trade route recently. It would be good to go out to meet the uninvited guests and change his mood.

If the other party is an enemy, just give him a good beating to relieve the pressure.

As soon as he left, Mingyao immediately walked out. After identifying the direction, he called out Gardevoir and teleported away.

He wasn't afraid that the other party was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and wanted to lure him away to cause damage to the camp and the mine.

The security work here at the Black Gold Tunnel is very good. Not only are dozens of security team members patrolling 24 hours a day, but there are also more than 20 strong work-study students and about 150 Pokémon. It is really not just a cat or a dog. Everyone can get out alive...

After several consecutive teleportations, Mingyao soon arrived near the designated location on the map.

This place was similar to what he remembered, a lush forest.

Perhaps because it is close to the giant tree battlefield, most of the trees nearby are also very tall. Each tree is at least three or four meters tall, tall and straight. Some of the thick branches have shallow or deep scratches, which seem to be The traces left by the daily exercise of the flying mantis group living nearby.

And as Mingyao expected, there was no one here.

This is also normal.If Mingyao were to do it, he would also choose to direct the other party to a conspicuous and easily observed place, while he would secretly observe the other party for a while.

However, he didn't just get used to the other person's behavior, and he just stayed put and waited to be the other person's observation animal.

Just kidding, he doesn't even know whether the other party is a friend or an enemy. If he puts himself in a completely passive position during the trial stage, it will only make the other party underestimate him.

This is not to say that Mingyao has a temper or a great deal of arrogance, but rather that he is actually a very casual and patient person.If it was really necessary to wait for someone, he would never complain.

However, his current identity is not only a Pokémon trainer, but also the top leader of the Pokémon Alliance. Every move represents the face of the Pokémon Alliance, and he must be responsible for his own efforts.

So he immediately took out a few elf balls and threw them away:

"(Cross-shaped bat, warrior eagle, fly into the sky, investigate the surrounding environment carefully, and find out the other party!)"

The two flying Pokémon immediately flew high into the sky and quickly circled twice above Mingyao's head, like two huge reconnaissance drones.

Then, Mingyao gently pinched his scarf again: "(Bivari Monster, get ready to work. The Wind Speed ​​Dog is standing guard on the Qunqing Coast. Only you can use scent detection here...)"

[Toad King used Mud Shot! 】

A long-lost system prompt suddenly appeared in Mingyao's field of vision. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately rolled and hid behind a nearby tree trunk, successfully dodging the sudden attack.

I see... I thought the other party would be observing from a distance, but didn't expect to be so close?

Mingyao raised his head and looked towards the direction where the mud shot came from.

The other party seems to be hiding deep in the forest, hidden in the deep jungle, using the shade of trees and shadows to completely hide his figure - if he acts rashly, he will only put himself in danger.

"In this case...then it's this guy's turn to appear." Mingyao raised his eyebrows and took out an elf ball:

"Let's go, find the enemy for me... Yasen!"

Chapter 55 It’s really painful to come up with a name.

As Mingyao opened the Poké Ball in his hand, a slender green Pokémon quietly appeared next to him.

Its most conspicuous feature is the mask-like dark green hair on its face. At first glance, it looks a little scary, but if you look closely, you can see the intimacy and cuteness revealed by its pink eyes under the mask - it is also cute. There are soft pink flesh pads on the paws of its upper limbs

Light green hair covers most of its body, while the part from the soles of its feet to its thighs is dark green, making it look like it is wearing tights; the large leaves growing from its neck are draped behind it, and it looks like it from a distance. It was like a cloak used to cover the figure, adding a bit of elegance to this Pokémon's originally slender figure.

At least when Mingyao saw it for the first time, words like "magician" or "phantom thief" came to mind.

[Magic Masked Meowth (registered name: Yasen), grass/evil composite attribute, magician Pokémon

(

Perhaps because of the experience gained in the lava battlefield battle a few months ago, not long after that, Tiremiao and another steel snail of the same period completed their evolution almost in order, and successfully Completely included in Mingyao's first-tier team.

Tiremiao's evolutionary trend is basically consistent with Mingyao's original expectations. Although the attributes eventually changed to the grass-evil attributes that stretch the hips to the point of making people cry, they have the ability to change freely. The garbage resistance brought by the grass-evil attributes is in Magic Mask Meow actually has no effect at all. Instead, he can use this attribute to learn a variety of highly practical functional moves. It can be said that he takes advantage of it, making a certain cactus and a certain dog who also have grass evil attributes shed their eyes with envy. tears...

Mingyao is still very satisfied with the racial value distribution of Magic Mask Meow.

The speed of 123 exceeds that of Gengar, and is second only to Crossbat in Mingyao's team. He is an out-and-out high-speed player.

At this basic speed, it can easily take advantage of its maneuverability to trick its opponents, and it can also quickly use moves to activate its characteristic transformation attributes.

On the defensive end, although all three items are only in their early 70s, and it is not possible to carry evolutionary pyroxene to increase defense like in the past, the freedom of transformation and rich skill pool allow Magic Mask Cat to effectively avoid fatal damage, plus it also has parasitism. There are many ways to restore physical strength such as seeds, sleep, and grassy fields, so long-term battles are not a big problem.

The attack end is not particularly good. The special attack takes away too many racial values, making the physical attack racial value of Magic Mask Meow only 110, which is not particularly outstanding.

In addition, its skill pool unfortunately does not have efficient buff skills like Kirby's belly drum or Giant Pincer Mantis's sword dance, so it will be somewhat weak in terms of output - however, if you use one of its A very interesting exclusive move, then it's another story.

As for why Mingyao suddenly wanted to name it... In fact, he had no choice but to do so.

A few days ago, Magic Mask Meow: "Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" (to the effect of why you have to name that four-handed green leather muscle monster and not even me. Do you not love me anymore? Do you? There is a cat outside. Do you dislike me for being an evolved person? You talk about it, you talk about it, you talk about it, you talk about it, you talk about it...)"

Anyway, I don’t know whether it’s an individual personality or a racial trait. In short, the yandere personality of this green cat from Mingyao’s family seems to be getting more and more serious...

Mingyao himself didn't have the habit of naming Pokémon. He named the monster Chao Gai simply for the convenience of distinction and to show off his bad taste. Who would have thought that his own Pokémon would have such a big reaction? She refuses to give up on finding a name for herself, and has the air of "a real wife who will fight for her name to the death"...

He originally wanted to use names like "Mimi" or "Meow Meow" to talk about it, but as a result, there were a few light white scratches on his arms - this was the green cat's way of talking to its trainer. expressed dissatisfaction and protest with his perfunctory attitude.

After racking his brains to come up with "Yasen", a name that fit the image and was short and lively, Magic Mask Cat happily accepted it, but a new problem appeared in front of Mingyao.

As the saying goes, you don’t worry about scarcity but inequality. If you give a name to a certain Pokémon to express your closeness, then the rest of the people should be thinking of Xiao Jiujiu...

So in the past few days, Mingyao has done nothing else but tried his best to name his Pokémon - for a senior patient with naming difficulties, this is really a huge and arduous project.

But before thinking about the remaining names, let's deal with the uninvited guests in front of us first.

"(Yasen, jump out and run quickly while using drafting continuously to cut down those unsightly bushes and find the opponent's position.)"

The Magic Mask meowed and dodged out of the way with brisk and agile movements.

It did not move directly in any specific direction, but moved around in the woods, walking quickly in a "Z" shape. After taking a few steps, it would raise its glowing green claws and move some Trees blocking the view were neatly cleared away.

Although the power of the "drafting" move is mediocre, its effect is very powerful. Each time it is used, it can increase the speed by a certain amount, which is equivalent to the grass-type "charged flame attack". It is really suitable as an opening test move.

After drafting several times in succession, there were almost no trees in the jungle that could serve as cover, and the Magic Mask Cat was getting faster and faster, and its green fur formed a protective color in the forest environment. , making it particularly difficult for people to even capture its figure with the naked eye.

And the other party seemed to know that keeping cowering and hiding like this was not an option. When the Magic Mask Cat was about to rush towards the last bush, he took the initiative to rush out from it.

[Toad King used venom impact! 】

Before Mingyao could fully see the opponent's Pokémon, a splash of purple-black unknown venom shot out from the grass and went straight towards Magical Mask.

Chapter 56 A healthy routine is really important

"(Yasen, retreat, use the magic leaves!)" Mingyao gave the order immediately and decisively: "(I'm afraid this venom is not the vomit of the toad. It's disgusting. Don't get it on your body!)"

Magic Mask Meow immediately stopped the car, kicked off his legs and quickly stepped back. At the same time, he waved the cloak behind him, and dozens of leaf-blade flying knives condensed with blue light were quickly thrown out, flying in the air. With a roar, it collided with the opponent's venom impact, causing a "boom" explosion.

Let's not worry about why the poison-type and grass-type moves exploded. After the smoke of the explosion dissipated, Mingyao finally officially saw his opponent's Pokémon this time.

Well...he's a guy who's uncomfortable in every way.

It was a huge blue frog that walked upright. Its face became rounded and its limbs were wide. The skin on its body had the usual characteristics of a frog. It looked thin, slippery and disgusting. Mingyao felt his body tremble after just imagining the feel of it. Goosebumps.

There are many indescribable tumors all over the head, shoulders, hands, knees, and almost every part of its body.

These tumors are still getting bigger and smaller as it breathes, and purple-black venom can still be faintly seen in the tumors on the top of its head.In addition, it stares at Mingyao with a pair of scarlet dead fish eyes (or should it be called dead frog eyes?), staring at Mingyao motionlessly. Looking at it for a long time will even make people shudder with horror...

Anyway, Mingyao felt that he might have a phobia of frogs - toads also use blue as the main color, why can a certain guy who uses his tongue as a scarf be so handsome, while some guys look so... Spine-chilling physical discomfort?

Although Mingyao has actually never seen with his own eyes the kind of toad that uses its tongue as a scarf...
