I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

The metal monster charged again without hesitation, closed its claws, and punched hard. At the moment of the burst of power, it blew the fang cage away again, causing it to completely lose its combat effectiveness and fall to the ground, unable to get up.

[Your elf "Metal Monster" has won the battle, gained 174 experience points, and its level has been raised to level 40! ]

There are still two levels left for Metal Monster to be promoted to a gym-level Pokémon.

After letting the metal monster rest for a while, Xia Zhihai carefully treated Fang Cage's wounds, then glanced at the gradually darkening sky and ordered: "Let's stop here today. I'll go prepare dinner. Mimikyu and Rogue Panda will be responsible for guarding the surroundings."

"q~"

"roar~"

Mimikyu and Rogue Panda, who were immersed in a horror movie, responded to the sound and immediately became alert to prevent being attacked by other Pokémons like before.

Xia Zhihai took out the tent, food, energy cubes and some milk. He quickly set up the tent, lit a bonfire, and started preparing dinner for himself and the elves.

Soon, night fell completely.

After dinner was prepared, Xia Zhihai enjoyed the delicious food with his elves. After eating and drinking, he picked up the celestial flute in his hand and put it to his lips.

Since getting this flute, Xia Zhihai has practiced playing it diligently whenever he has free time. Although he has not yet mastered it, he has made great progress compared to the beginning. At least the melodies he plays now are not harsh or unpleasant.

The melodious flute sound flows out from the heavenly flute. Although it is not very pleasant to the ear, it contains a kind of reassuring power.

The endless flute sound echoed in the forest.

Upon hearing the sound, some elves in the forest retreated into their nests, yawned, rubbed their eyes, and then fell into a deep sleep; some elves had just finished hunting and were planning to return to their nests, but were attracted by the sound of the flute and lay quietly on the ground to listen.

In the camp, Xia Zhihai was immersed in the tranquility.

And in the darkness of the woods behind him, a figure quietly appeared, staring at Xia Zhihai's back with interest.

It wasn't until a minute passed that the sound of the flute gradually faded away.

Xia Zhihai exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered to himself: "This instrument is really difficult, but it feels good to play. I can spend more time learning it."

Shaking his head for a while, Xia Zhihai put away the flute, took out his notebook and continued to think carefully.

This time entering the secret realm, the main focus is on training metal monsters, and the training of pseudo-Q is relatively secondary.

However, for Mimikyu's training plan, Xia Zhihai focused on cultivating its fear-related abilities. As a ghost-type Pokémon, Mimikyu is already quite intimidating and good at manipulating the mind, and can maximize the effectiveness of moves such as "Scare" and "Ghost Face".

Although these moves may seem insignificant, they can often catch the opponent by surprise and create chaos in actual combat.

This is also the reason why Xia Zhihai guides fans to watch horror movies.

As I pondered more deeply, the night grew darker.

Xia Zhihai stretched his body, washed up briefly, added some dry firewood to the campfire, and finally returned to the tent and fell into a deep sleep.

When Xia Zhihai fell asleep, the figure hidden in the forest slowly emerged, looking at the tent with a little hesitation, as if considering whether to go in...

The next morning, as dawn broke, the soft sunlight sprinkled the earth like golden rain.

The clear blue sky, the floating white clouds and the gentle breeze indicate that it will be a beautiful day.

"This movie is great. It almost scared me."

"q~"

"Please rewind this music for me. I want to feel it again. It feels so good."

“q~q!”

"Hehehe, this music is just what I like. It would be fun to scare people with it."

"No, no, no, you can't do that. To scare people, you need to use your mind and hands at the same time. You have to remember that we have to make terrifying noises while performing our tricks. Only in this way can we really scare the humans and elves out of their wits."

"Look, let me show you."

Xia Zhihai was half asleep and half awake, and seemed to hear a series of exchanges of sounds lingering in his ears, as if someone was talking to the mimic Q.

He originally thought it was just tinnitus or auditory hallucination, but what followed was a thrilling and extremely shrill scream, just like the sound effects he had experienced in a horror movie called "The Haunted Mansion".

Tremble.

Horrified.

This sudden sound made Xia Zhihai stare with his eyes wide open.

"What's the noise?"

Hearing such a sound in the early morning, Xia Zhihai lost all his sleepiness and looked stunned. When he turned his eyes to his side, something even more surprising happened.

Mimik was holding a mobile phone, wearing an earphone, playing a horror movie on the phone, and looking at Xia Zhihai curiously. And next to Mimik, there was a figure squatting, looking at Xia Zhihai with the same surprised expression.

He was an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face. The zipper of the tent was closed from the inside. The old man had quietly entered at some point. At this moment, he was pinching his nose, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Um, hello, trainer. Ahem, I'm..."

"Are you an elf or a human?" Xia Zhihai got straight to the point, looking at the old man in confusion. The tent zipper had never been opened, and there was no sign of damage, so how did this old man get in?

Looking at the old man again, he doesn't seem to be carrying any Poké Balls, and doesn't look like a trainer.

"Ahem, I'm an elf." The old man responded with a little embarrassment.

"Elf?" Xia Zhihai's tone was filled with surprise.

The old man explained: "You may be wondering why I have a human appearance? This is just an illusion, it is not difficult."

Before he finished speaking, black mist rolled around the old man, and he immediately transformed into a huge, dark Gengar with a smile on his face, but that smile revealed a cunning and terrifying aura.

This Gengar was surrounded by an unknown black fog, giving off a terrifying aura, causing Xia Zhihai to exclaim in surprise: "You, you are the ghost-type Pokémon in the secret realm?"

"Hehehe, it seems you already know me." Gengar nodded, and after revealing its true form, the temperature in the tent dropped sharply. Fortunately, Xia Zhihai could feel that it had no ill intentions, otherwise the Vulcan Moth would have appeared to protect him long ago.

"Then why did you appear in my tent?" Xia Zhihai asked again, "And when I was half asleep just now, I seemed to hear you talking to the mimic Q?"

"Ahem..." Gengar mentioned this, with a human-like embarrassed expression on his face, and answered in human language: "I sensed that you were a little different before, so I wanted to take a look while you were sleeping, but I didn't expect this little guy to be holding what you humans call a 'mobile phone' and watching something called a 'movie'."
