Elf: Hard work pays off, and I became Giovanni.

Then we can only pray that it won't go too far!

before coming.

Lu Chen had also done his homework thoroughly.

All actions are small-scale, with eyes and ears everywhere.

Above, giant bees stood watch in the sky; below, one-horned rhinoceroses cleared the way.

only.

Lu Chen has come a long way.

I haven't seen a single elf yet.

"its not right!"

Lu Chen frowned deeply.

It's almost 11:30 now, since we set off this morning.

The straight-line distance they walked was at least five kilometers.

How could it be that not a single elf was found?

"Beedrill, any other discoveries?"

Lu Chen stopped and asked the giant bee.

Sizzle~

The bee circled in the air once before shaking its head.

But as a premonition of an insect that had mastered its own characteristics, it pointed in one direction with its two needles.

Then it came down and gently moved its antennae toward Lu Chen.

"Is there danger over there?!"

Beedrill's intuition is usually correct.

Its current level is ordinary intermediate, and the only ones that can pose a threat to it are elite intermediate or even high-level Pokémon!

Thinking about the purpose of my visit to the Jiangyuan Secret Realm.

Lu Chen gritted his teeth.

I've decided to go and take a look anyway!

After all, while elite high-level warriors are strong, they are not invincible!

"Let's go and have a look over there."

Done.

The two elves then stayed close to Lu Chen.

Half an hour later.

Lu Chen saw it through the phone's location system.

I have almost reached the center of the secret realm.

The area around here is open and spacious.

To the left is the Shuijiang Waterfall, and not far to the right is a small dense forest.

We had just reached the front of the dense forest.

Lu Chen seemed to see it in the dense forest.

It looked like something sparkly was falling to the ground.

"That's... a spirit item!?"

Lu Chen's heart trembled.

I couldn't find a Pokémon battle match, but I ended up accidentally getting a Pokémon item!

However, this time he was not as reckless as he was when he encountered the lychee fruit last time.

First, have the bee stand guard.

Only then did they slowly follow the one-horned rhinoceros.

Hoo-ha~? Use

The one-horned rhinoceros slowly approached, and after sensing no danger nearby, the herd...

He then nodded to Lu Chen behind him. 8

“Hmm, this is…” 9

Lu Chen picked up the prop and examined it carefully. 3

The prop resembles the claw of some kind of creature, but it feels smooth to the touch, like a metal object. 9

Preemptive Claw! ? 6

Wow! 4

You've hit the jackpot! 4

The First Strike Claw is a rare item among Pokémon. 6

This allows your Pokémon to use a move before its opponent in battle, with a certain chance!

However, the odds still depend on the strength of both sides.

It's not guaranteed to succeed; it's only useful when your strength and the opponent's strength are roughly equal.

So it might not be a big deal for Lu Chen.

But those wealthy trainers are a different story.

After all, they value the strength of Pokémon very much, and every Pokémon item that can enhance the strength of Pokémon can sell for an astronomical price!

Especially skills like First Strike Claw, which have a significant boost in combat!

Lu Chen remembered that this item was priced at 12 Pokémon Coins at the Pokémon Center shop!

"It was an unexpected bonus, I suppose."

Lu Chen happily put away the Preemptive Claw.

Before he could even put his backpack on...

Then I heard the distinctive hissing of the bee behind me.

"Hiss~~~"

Lu Chen's expression suddenly turned serious.

This is the unique sound he uses to communicate danger with Beedrill.

Say nothing.

He recalled the Rhino into its Poké Ball and headed straight for the dense forest.

A moment later, the bee followed.

On a large, leafy tree.

They used silk to build a nest for scavenging insects.

Lu Chen hunched over and went straight in.

"Who are those people?"

Through the holes in the insect nest.

He saw a group of people calmly making their way towards him from not far away.

"One, two... thirteen?!"

A team of thirteen trainers!?

Lu Chen frowned.

I had a strange, uneasy feeling.

After pointing to the Beedrill above, I looked up again.

……

"Boss, that was a good day!"

"Hmm, this is probably the last wave in this secret realm. We'll be moving to another location soon!"

The leader of the thirteen was bald, but his face was covered with a thick beard.

"Wow, this is such a nice place, but all I see is this!"

"You should be content. These things are at least enough for us to advance to a squad!"

"That's true, but to be fair, the hippo's tail is really delicious, it's just that we can't afford it!"

"Alright! Shut up, all of you!" The bearded man waved his hand.

The entire team fell silent instantly.

"Everyone, I'll give you a long vacation after this mission is completed. When we get back, I'll treat you to some fun at Honglu!"

"Wow! Boss is awesome!"

"Brother Jie, hurry up!"

"Okay, let's get started."

The words fell.

Everyone else also wore wicked smiles.

He kept throwing out Poké Balls.

All of a sudden.

The entire open area was filled with white light, almost like fireworks.
