Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Walking on the forest path filled with golden afterglow, Xiaozhi's steps seemed particularly firm and rhythmic. His figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun, reflecting the intertwined world of shadows of trees and mottled light and shadow on the roadside. As he strolled, he lowered his head and clapped his fingers attentively, mentally calculating the remaining space in the Poke Ball slot on his belt. Since all members of Squirtle's team joined, Ash's Pokémon team has expanded to an unprecedented level, so much so that the upper limit of his Poké Balls has been pushed to the limit.

Currently accompanying Xiaozhi is a team of Pokémon with outstanding strength and different personalities: the mysterious and powerful Gardevoir, the lively and agile Pikachu, the brave and swift Styrofowl, the soaring Pidgeot, the wise and tenacious Pokémon Ivysaur, the passionate Charmander, and the recently joined and prestigious Squirtle boss. As for the remaining Squirtle members, they were all safely teleported to the mysterious and vast space ranch.

Fortunately, before setting off, Xiaozhi specially told the Squirtles that they must not damage the honor of the team and the face of the boss no matter where they are, and they must practice hard in the Space Ranch...

Recently, Xiaozhi has taken a new step on the road of exploration and research. He has devoted himself entirely to the mysterious and vast space ranch. This space ranch is a world of its own, like an independent small universe, divided into nine levels of wonderful realms, each level containing endless secrets and wonders. However, only the first floor is currently open to the public, and its interior is astonishingly vast - it is said that its area is as vast as the land of China.

In this vast first-level space, mountains and rivers are intertwined, lakes are intertwined, and the landforms are rich and varied, as if the miraculous craftsmanship of nature is concentrated in it. The mountains are towering and verdant; the lakes are like mirrors, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the beautiful scenery around them; the endless rivers cross the wilderness, nourishing the growth of all things; and the world of lush vegetation, birdsong and flowers makes this space full of vitality , full of energy.

Although the existence of Pokémon has not yet been discovered in this world, its natural environment is beautiful and its ecology is complete. It can be said that it is a small world that is divorced from reality but extremely real. What's more worth mentioning is that practicing in this space ranch will receive special energy blessings from the ranch itself, which will bring unexpected experience bonus effects to Pokémon, thereby greatly accelerating their growth.

Deep in the first level of the vast space ranch, there is a mysterious and magnificent area hidden - Longyuan Lake. The lake lives up to its name. The sparkling lake surface seems to hide a sleeping dragon, exuding a solemn and majestic atmosphere, attracting countless creatures to stop here. And around this lake is where the Squirtles decided to settle after careful consideration and careful selection.

In this area, the lake water is green and clear, the lakeside vegetation is lush, the flowers are blooming, and the ecological environment is extremely rich and diverse, providing an excellent living environment and rich food sources for Squirtle. The unique geographical advantages and ecological conditions of Longyuan Lake make the water here rich in minerals, nourishing the fertile land around the lake, and making the shells of Squirtles tougher and brighter in color.

Squirtles are wise and prudent. They know that Longyuan Lake is not only a place for survival, but also a home for them to protect and inherit. Whenever night falls, the stars fall on the lake, reflecting a peaceful and harmonious picture. At this time, the Squirtles are either basking leisurely or playing leisurely in the lake...

"Xiao Gang, where have we been?" Night gradually fell, like a huge black velvet cloth slowly covering the sky. The starlight tried to penetrate this depth, but the moonlight seemed to be looming. Xiaoxia tugged on the strap of her backpack tightly, her eyes flashing with curiosity and worry about the unknown future. She finally couldn't restrain her inner anxiety and asked Xiaogang beside her.

"I don't know either~" Xiaogang responded with a wry smile. The continuous wandering in the past few days had made him give up on precise planning and rigorous navigation. His happy-go-lucky attitude seemed to have penetrated deep into his bones. He shrugged, looking resigned to fate. , "It seems that we are completely lost in this vast land. Anyway, no matter where we go, we are exploring untouched wonderful worlds."

"Sigh... I can't even figure out where I am. This kind of trip is really so happy!" Xiaozhi pretended to be relaxed and cheered up. The corners of his mouth raised while revealing a wry smile. He tried to boost everyone's mood with his optimistic and positive tone, which made this unexpected adventure more interesting.

"Pikachu~!" Pikachu, who had always been by Xiaozhi's side, raised its furry little hand tiredly and let out a feeble cry, as if it was echoing Xiaozhi's words and expressing its helplessness...

"Speaking of which, Xiaozhi, since you embarked on your journey as a Pokémon trainer, every Pokémon you have conquered, except for the Big Stitch, which you won in a fierce battle, the rest They were all deeply moved by your enthusiasm and sincerity, and voluntarily chose to follow you." Xiaoxia made this observation with great interest while carefully sorting out her experiences along the way.

"Hmm... Thinking about it, it's true." Xiaozhi scratched his head, with a trace of complicated thoughts in his eyes, as if he was recalling the first encounter with each Pokémon. He recalled his time in the Kanto region. Perhaps his greatest achievement was not how many powerful enemies he defeated, but the group of thirty Kenteros who gathered around him because of his sincere emotions. Their enthusiasm and loyalty, Become his most valuable asset.

"Actually, Xiaozhi, this is the uniqueness of your personality." Xiaogang nodded calmly, his eyes full of sincere admiration for Xiaozhi, "You rely not only on your fighting skills, but also on your love for each other. Pokémon’s understanding and respect, as well as your natural affinity, make Pokémon willing to approach and follow you.”

"Oh, Xiaogang, what you said is really nothing to say, and it sounds really perfunctory." Xiaozhi shook his arms with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen through it. Xiaogang's thoughts. He looked forward with bright eyes, looking confident, "It seems it's time to show off my unique skill - the ability to capture Pokémon alive with bare hands."

Xiaozhi took out an empty Poke Ball from his pocket, held it tightly in his hand, and led him through the dense forest with firm steps. After a while, the lush trees gradually thinned out, and an open beach came into view. The magnificent scene of the sea and the sky intertwined with the warm sunshine, forming a peaceful and beautiful picture. And in the center of the scroll, a hairy crab suddenly appeared.

On the beach at this time, the sun shines lazily on the golden sand, making it warm and peaceful. A lobster soldier and a giant claw crab were lying leisurely on the hot beach, enjoying this rare afternoon time. The lobster soldier wears red armor and wields a pair of strong and powerful claws, while the giant claw crab next to it appears to be particularly small and exquisite. Although the claws are still powerful, the overall body shape seems to be deliberately kept low-key, showing that it is not fully developed. appearance.

The lobster soldier rolled his flexible eyes, glanced curiously at the giant crab on the side, and asked with full of doubts: "Brother Crab, I really don't understand you. You obviously have unfathomable strength and endless potential, why do you... Do you want to suppress the growth of your body size? Looking at your 'stunted' appearance now, is there any special reason? "

Hearing this, the giant claw crab's bright little eyes shone with the light of wisdom, and he responded slowly: "Oh, little brother, you still don't understand the way to survive in this world.
