At the beginning, Shinji gave me the elf

A long time has passed since Shiraishi returned to Futaba Town.

The manor where Bai Shi lives is undergoing a radical transformation.

Various fruit trees are scattered around the courtyard, adding rich layers and colors, like a vibrant painting.

With the triple combination of arable land skills, green grass field skills and system fertilizers, the fruit tree seedlings planted by Bai Shi grew rapidly.

In a blink of an eye, some of the fruits on the trees became ripe and beautiful.

For Shiraishi, who was in financial difficulties, this was undoubtedly a timely help.

In order to renovate the manor, Bai Shi spent all his money, so much so that he is now penniless.

The treasures that were made previously were almost used up and could hardly sustain the daily needs of the elves.

However, the ripening of the fruits was like a blessing from heaven, greatly alleviating Shiraishi's financial difficulties.

Bai Shi, who has replenished his resources, naturally no longer needs to resell system items.

In addition, the first batch of resurrection grass planted by Bai Shi is about to enter the maturity stage.

He will then be able to rely on this batch of resurrection grass to complete a major turnaround.

Therefore, Bai Shi attaches great importance to resurrection grass.

Not only are they carefully cared for, but elves are also arranged to take turns guarding them, waiting for them to fully mature.

During this period, Gui Mu, who went out to look for treasure, also returned to Futaba Town and reunited with Shiraishi.

From Gui Mu's narration, I learned about his recent situation.

During an accidental treasure hunt, he had the opportunity to meet Michael, the younger brother of Daye, the king of the Sinnoh region.

Due to their similar interests, the two established a good relationship and often went treasure hunting and adventure in the wild together.

Although Guimu is not strong enough to make much contribution, he has worked hard and can get a share of the pie.

Guimu achieved rapid accumulation of wealth through treasure hunting.

However, he did not become arrogant, but remained sober and aware of the importance of strength.

When he had sufficient funds, Guimu immediately used Michael's connections to purchase a Fireball Rat Pokémon egg in order to improve his own strength.

After cultivation and training, the Infernape he purchased has now evolved into Infernape.

This transformation has brought about a qualitative improvement in Guimu's strength.

Today, Onuki is no longer the same person he used to be. He has grown into a trainer who can stand on his own.

Even without Michael's protection, he could confidently step into the less dangerous ruins.

This virtuous cycle continues to drive the steady improvement of Guimu's strength and prompts him to stay firmly on the road of treasure hunting.

“The encounters in life are truly amazing!”

After listening to Gui Mu's narration, Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Bai Shi, are you interested in a fight?"

"I really want to see how strong you are now as the champion of the Higaki Tournament!"

Gui Mu challenged Shiraishi with great anticipation, his eyes flickering with desire for a fight.

"No problem, I also want to know how your strength has improved during this period of time!"

Shiraishi smiled slightly and directly accepted Gui Mu's challenge.

The best way for trainers to communicate is through Pokémon battles.

The two quickly reached a consensus and decided to have a 1vs1 duel.

"Dragon Head Rat, I'm counting on you!"

Bai Shi changed his mind and chose the Dragon Head Rat as the battle elf.

After the Dragon Head Rat was tamed by him, he has never played a formal game.

It’s just right, I can use Guimu’s hand to test its specific combat power.

"Hey, it's the dragon head mole from the Unova region!"

"Fire Beast, come out!"

Guimu, who liked mouse elves, recognized Bai Shi's elf after just a few glances.

However, he quickly regained his composure and sent out his strongest Pokémon, Infernape.

"Dragon Head Hamster, use sharpening claws!"

Bai Shi took the lead and directed the dragon head mole road.

Use the claw sharpening skill to increase the attack power and hit rate of the dragon head hamster.

"Infernomon, use Fire Breath!"

Gui Mu was full of fighting spirit and shouted to Infernape.

A scorching red flame swept towards the Fire Beast.

"Dragon-headed gopher, use high-speed rotation!"

Bai Shi remained expressionless and gave orders calmly.

The dragon-headed groundhog stretched out its hands and began to spin at high speed like a top.

By using the power of rotation, he resisted the fire-breathing of Infernape.

"Dragon-headed gopher, use Rockslide!"

Blocking the opponent's attack, Shiraishi immediately organized a counterattack.

A large number of rocks appeared out of nowhere and smashed towards Guimu's fire beast like raindrops.

"Infernomon, use Dig!"

Guimu's face changed and he quickly gave orders to the Fire Beast.

Infernape followed the command, burrowed into the ground, and successfully avoided the attack of Diglett.

"Dragon Head Rat, use Earthquake!"

Shiraishi refused to give in and continued to issue instructions.

Like Rockfall, this is also a new skill that Dragon Head Rat has recently learned.

As soon as the words fell, the ground around them began to shake violently.

This forced Gui Mu's Infernape to be exposed to the Dragon Head Digger's sight again.

"Now is the time, Gopher, use the Drill!"

Bai Shi seized the opportunity and directed the dragon head mole.

The dragon-headed mole gathered its body and turned into a huge rotating drill, which shot straight towards the Fire Beast at an astonishing speed.

Infernape was caught off guard and hit by Diglett, suffering heavy damage.

It was only through strong willpower that he avoided fainting.

"Infernomon, don't give in, use Overheat!"

Guimu gritted his teeth, tried to make a desperate attempt, and shouted at Infernape.

From the mouth of the Fire Beast, spewed out an extremely hot and violent column of fire.

"Dragon head mole, use digging!"

Bai Shi's pupils shrank slightly and he responded quickly.

The dragon-headed mole followed the command and hid in the dug tunnel as quickly as possible.

Let Infernape's overheat skill hit the air.

The Dragon Headed Rat took this opportunity to come right under the Inferno Beast.

Waiting for Shiraishi's order to launch a deadly raid.

"Dragon Head Rat, take care of it, use the Metal Claw!"

Bai Shi would naturally not show any mercy and gave the Dragon Head Rat his orders.

The dragon-headed mole suddenly rushed out from the ground, raised its sharp claws, and slashed hard at the head of the Fire Beast.

Infernape was unable to react in time and was hit by the metal claws, suffering considerable damage.

With a wail, he fell to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time.

Shiraishi tried his hand at it and won the game.

"As expected of the winner of the Higaki Tournament, your strength is truly unfathomable!"

Guimu took away the unconscious Infernape and a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face.

His strength had obviously improved a lot, but there was still a huge gap between him and Bai Shi, which made him feel somewhat frustrated.

However, this loss did not defeat Guimu, but instead aroused the indomitable fighting spirit deep in his heart.

Treasure hunting in the Sinnoh region could no longer bring him any more novelty.

Perhaps it is time to follow the example of Ishimaru and others and look to other regions.

The Unova region that Shiraishi visited is a nice place.

Not only are there marks left by Bai Shi, but there are also many of his favorite rat elves.

"I've decided to travel to the Unova region!"

There was a gleam of determination and expectation in Guimu's eyes.
