Who Said This Pokémon Game Was Poisonous?

Zhou Ran saw the whole thing through the picture transmitted by Lalu Lasi's telepathy.

The qualifying round was actually held in Viridian Forest!

"Lao Wang is really brave. He rushed in with his backpack on his back." Zhou Ran, who was deeply poisoned by the giant stingray, sincerely admired him: "You are really fearless when you move forward for your dream."

But Zhou Ran couldn't do it. The elusive Needle Bee in the game almost gave him a psychological shadow.

Zhou Ran sighed and lay down on the lazy sofa. He didn't know whether he was happy or worried for a moment.

It's a good thing that Lalulas won her first victory in the qualifiers, but...

I really don’t want to participate in this qualifier and experience survival in the wild!

After all, what happens in the game is most likely true, so what if he, the 'enemy of the ethnic group', can get something good out of running into Viridian Forest?

Zhou Ran's heart trembled at the thought of being ferociously pursued by an overwhelming swarm of Stipa bees.

In the game, it’s okay to have a battle of wits and courage between a tough guy and a giant needle bee, but you don’t want to do that in real life!

However, Zhou Ran couldn't say anything disappointing when looking at La Lulas who was in a happy and energetic mood after getting the badge.

etc…

Zhou Ran studied the game text carefully.

"As long as I refuse, will it be acquiesced that La Lulas will participate alone?"

Zhou Ran's eyes lit up.

This is great!

There is no need for him to risk his life by going to Viridian Forest, and there is no need to dampen Lalulas' enthusiasm. It's the best of both worlds.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ran coughed, smiled at La Lulas and said, "You did a good job!"

"A truly mature elf has to earn his own living and fight on his own!"

"Uh huh?" (Is that true?)

Lalulas tilted her head, blinked her red eyes, and clapped her hands happily.

"Lalu lalu~!" (It seems that I have unintentionally embarked on the right path to become stronger. No wonder I am stronger than that Cammy turtle!)

"Lalu Lasi, you have gradually matured." Zhou Ran sighed:

"I deliberately asked you to participate alone today, just to let you gain experience."

"Only when trainers learn to let go can elves truly grow."

"So, no matter how much I worry about you, I still choose to let go. This is also my trust in you!"

Zhou Ran spoke so impassionedly that he even believed it:

"So, in the next qualifiers, I will let you go and give you the opportunity to face it, grow up, and build your own future."

"But, don't forget, I am behind you. At the critical moment, I will face it with you and win together!"

"Until then, fly freely, Lalulas!"

Feeling Zhou Ran's fiery emotion, Lalu's red eyes were moist and very moved.

It turns out that this is what he thought and actually trusted me so much!

Taking a deep breath, Lalulas, who originally just thought the battle match was interesting, became serious. Her red eyes were as hot as fire, as if there were really two flames burning.

Lalu Lasi:（｀へ）

Okay, get serious!

In order to live up to his trust, I must win the next battle alone!

When he came to the refrigerator, he took out the bottle of [Special Attack Enhancer Type IX], and took another sip, his eyes filled with persistence for victory.

Lalulas's serious attitude made Zhou Ran stunned for a moment, but he felt a little guilty.

But this guilt was fleeting, because Zhou Ran was also brainwashing himself.

Yes, although on the one hand I don't want to go to the Viridian Forest to survive in the wild, but am I lying?

No! Absolutely not!

Facing the qualifiers alone was a valuable experience for Lalulas.

Furthermore, I am worried about Lalu Lasi's safety, but I also believe that with the teleportation move, Lalu Lasi's safety is guaranteed.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ran sat on the sofa, opened the game, and murmured:

"However, Lalulas has a high probability of winning in the qualifiers, but after passing the qualifiers, it shouldn't be that easy."

The quality of the qualifiers varies greatly, and they may not be able to cope with Lalulas, who is proficient in teleportation moves and telekinesis moves.

But after the qualifiers, experienced and capable players will come up with various tactics to deal with it.

Until then…

Well, well, sometimes reluctance to lose is also a kind of growth.

If Lalulas can really reach the finals on her own——

Then I’ll admit it!

At that time, in order to respond to Larulas's determination, let alone the outskirts of the Viridian Forest, even if they really go deep into the no-man's land of the Viridian Forest and reach the nest of the Giant Needle Bee... well, they still have to hesitate.

As the familiar game interface popped up, Zhou Ran glanced at La Lulas, and his heart pounded.

It's impossible. Even in folk competitions, the level of players is not that good. And even though Larulas has the dream gene to break the racial limit, she fights wild elves in the game every day, and she has special attack enhancers to enhance her. Superpower background...

It’s not like he defeated the qualifiers single-handedly, right?

Probably not...

Probably, maybe, maybe.

The qualifiers haven't ended yet, and Zhou Ran doesn't know when the next special event will be triggered.

He is now more interested in the temple that Lalulas explored.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the familiar word game interface unfolds, and the lines of text are slowly refreshed.

In the morning, he was blocked by a swarm of giant bees and returned to the starting point of his journey.

[On a night when the stars and moon shine brightly, you open your eyes. 】

[I can’t see the giant sting wasp in the dim vision, nor can I hear any unusual noises. What should I do? Should the future master trainer take advantage of this god-given opportunity to rush out? 】

Two options, [rush out] and [rest temporarily]

Hey, is it possible that the Needle Bee Swarm is too lazy to waste time with me and has given up?

Although Zhou Ran felt something was wrong, he still chose to rush out. After all, he would gain nothing by staying where he was.

[God-given opportunity, you made a judgment and rushed out decisively. However, 'scarlet lanterns' soon lit up in the darkness, which were the enemy-locking eyes of the squatting giant needle bee. 】

[You are surrounded by a swarm of needle bees again, you...]

Alas, it’s going to happen again.

With mental preparation, Zhou Ran felt very calm.

Looking back at the text, I found that there was actually a hint in the text: no sound could be heard... This was obviously because the presence of the large needle bee swarm scared away other elves.

However, just when Zhou Ran was ready, something unexpected happened.

[In order to protect you, your elf Lalulas used the shadow clone move to confuse the large needle swarm waiting to attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lalulas used the teleportation move to lead you to retreat. 】

[You returned to the starting point of your journey, this time you did not lose consciousness. 】

Zhou Ran raised his head in surprise and turned to look at La Lulas who was looking at him with a proud look.

"When did you learn the shadow clone move? Good guy, you actually have a secret trick, give me a surprise, right?"

"Lalu!"

La Lulas looked proud, raised the corners of her mouth, and gave Zhou Ran a look that said, "I'm awesome."

La Lu La Si: ()

At this time, the phone vibrated again, and the text that appeared in the game gave Zhou Ran another surprise.

[Crack, click, click, accompanied by the sound of dead leaves being crushed, your familiar friend, the ‘unicorn beetle’, pushed two tree fruits in front of you. 】

[Although it is impossible to stop the action of the needle swarm, the one-horned beetle is not restricted from entering and exiting. In order to repay the favor of being cured by Lalu Lasi last time, the one-horned beetle has brought you food. 】

[You got it, Sand Scale Fruit*2! 】

[Sand scale fruit (precious tree fruit): a tree fruit that resembles both a sugar apple and a cactus. Its sour taste can increase the speed of elves, and it is rumored that it contains the power of the sky. 】

As a rare tree fruit that can improve the attributes of elves, sand scale fruit is extremely rare on the market. At least it is out of stock in Kati Dog Mall and Meow Meow Mall all year round.

The unicorn insect's 'return gift' is beyond imagination.

[You have received unexpected surprises on your journey. This is what a trainer's journey is like. You will encounter all kinds of crises, but you will also encounter elves with very different personalities. 】

[Encounters, separations, battles, and inadvertent kindness will all become the scenery on your journey and the rich memories in your life. 】

This is another chapter for today.

I have been working on a detailed outline recently and repeatedly refining the logic of the full text, so the subsequent articles have to be revised and refined, so the update time is temporarily confusing, but the minimum limit of 4,000 words per day remains unchanged, so please forgive me.
