"They've worked hard. Beedrill has already reached the late gym level, and will soon be able to break through to the quasi-king level. Cat Boss is a little slower, but he's also at the gym level. Bandicoot is also growing steadily, and has now reached the elite level."
Sakaki reported in detail to Hua Jianming about his achievements during this period.
Hua Jianming opened his mouth, not knowing how to praise him.
My original intention was just to ask about the little guy's living conditions and work, but I didn't expect him to be so twisted.
Don't underestimate the gym level and elite level mentioned by Sakaki. Such strength is definitely far from that of the spokesmen of the breeding house, but if compared with other trainers in the outside world, it is definitely a far cry from them.
If we ignore the issue of age, Sakaki's current strength is enough to allow him to serve as an official with a certain degree of weight in the alliance.
And putting aside his strength, Sakaki's growth rate is the fastest among everyone Hua Jianming has ever seen, even those breeding house spokespersons are far inferior to him.
This little guy is definitely a son of a plane.
"Speaking of which, I didn't prepare any gifts for you during this trip to Unova, but Brother Xia Chan did prepare something for you. You can go find him near the Ancient Insect Tree in the Flower Sea Forest later."
Hearing this, Sakaki stood up quickly and bowed respectfully: "The boss has given me too much, so there is really no need to consider me for gifts."
Hua Jianming stood up without any hesitation and rubbed Sakaki's growing hair fiercely: "Can't you be more like a child? I'm tired of seeing you like this every day. Don't always think about isolating yourself from the outside world. This is your home, and we are all your family, understand?"
Sakaki smiled awkwardly. Only Hua Jianming dared to do this to him, but it did make him feel a unique kind of warmth.
"Okay, let's go to the Ecological Park and find Brother Xia Chan. His gift is not easy to get. It depends on your own efforts, but it is really worth it."
Sakaki greeted Hua Jianming and walked towards the flower sea forest. He didn't like to keep people waiting...
Chapter 484 Rock Lee's Test
On the ancient fighting tree, Rock Lee and the fighting-type elves are building a wooden house for their bear apprentice.
Although the bear apprentices became his own Pokémon, Rock Lee did not intend to let them live in the Poké Ball permanently. Instead, he chose to let them live more freely and comfortably on the ancient fighting tree.
Of course, the main reason why Rock Lee did this was to increase his bear apprentice's sense of belonging to himself and the breeding house.
Since awakening the power of waves, Rock Lee has paid more and more attention to emotional communication with the elves. This is a very important and necessary thing for him.
Soon, a wooden house was built by everyone.
Inside the wooden house, Rock Lee arranged a lot of warm decorations, all of which were various utensils in line with the style of the bear apprentice. Even the elf egg that had not yet hatched had a separate cradle.
"Master, Master, are you there?"
When Rock Lee heard the arrogant voice, he knew that it was his silly apprentice who had arrived.
He jumped down from the tree and punched Apollo on the head, but Apollo blocked it with his hand and quickly retreated out of Rock Lee's attack range.
"Yes, it seems that you haven't fallen behind in your training as a trainer."
This is a link that Rock Lee and Apollo have always had, and it is a unique interaction between them as master and apprentice.
At Rock Lee's request, Apollo has been exercising to improve his physical fitness, and has achieved certain results.
Although Apollo is young now, thanks to long-term training and excellent physical talents, his close combat ability is not inferior to that of an ordinary adult.
"Master, since you are so satisfied, when will you give me the gift?"
Rock Lee laughed: "If you want gifts, you can. Let's have two matches. There are two gifts in total. I'll give you one if you win each one."
Rock Lee also had some considerations about this test.
Rakshasa and Parasol are both newly added Pokémon. Although they are powerful, they are still inferior to Apollo's Houndoom and Shakiras.
Even if commanded properly, Houndoom alone can fight against both Rakshasa and Parasol.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Apollo has not fallen behind in training during this period.
Upon hearing this condition, Apollo immediately lost his temper: "Master, your elves are so high level, even if I join forces with my boss, we can't beat you alone!"
Rock Lee didn't give Apollo any chance to refuse and directly ordered the Iron Palm Warrior and Parasol Mushroom to step forward.
Although Apollo looked like he had lost all hope in life, he still sent out Houndoom.
"Just one?"
Rock Lee waited for a long time but Apollo didn't release the second Pokémon, so he looked at him with some confusion.
"Yes, Shakiras has been in a lazy period recently and is not willing to move. It should be the critical period for accumulating strength, so I didn't let it fight."
Apollo explained.
Rock Lee was even more confused now. "I heard that your inspection team has a lot of tasks and you have to participate in a lot of battles. Can you handle it with just one Pokémon?"
Apollo chuckled and showed a sly expression: "If it was just Houndoom, of course I wouldn't be able to handle it, but one thing is that I have the boss to help me block it, and the other thing is this."
As he spoke, Apollo took out a colorful glass bead from his pocket, which was the evolution key stone.
"you mean......"
Faced with Rock Lee's shock, Apollo released his Houndoom on the spot, with a Mega Evolution Stone hanging around Houndoom's neck.
"Respond to my evolution, Houndoom!"
As the light spread, Houndoom began to enter the mega evolution state.
With a strange wolf howl, the light of evolution dissipated, and Mega Houndoom appeared in front of Rock Lee.
The horns of Mega Houndoom changed from being curved to extending upwards in a twisted shape. There seemed to be a bone-like object with sharp teeth hanging on its neck, and a bone-like object on its back extended forward into a sharp horn.
Its claws became sharper and blood red in color. The end of its tail was surrounded by three bone-like prongs with spikes.
"How about it, isn't my Mega Houndoom handsome?"
Just as Rock Lee was about to make a comment, he discovered that Apollo had unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on the Parasol Mushroom without following any moral code.
At the moment when the first shot of [Phosphorus Fire] hit the Parasol Mushroom, the second shot of [Jet Flame] was already on its way to hit it.
Although Apollo and Mega Houndoom were planning to fight two at one, Rock Lee, as a master, didn't really want to make things difficult for him, so he just started to command the ambushed Parasaurolophus to fight back.
As for the Iron Palm Warrior, he just watched the fight from the sidelines for the time being.
Houndoom itself is much stronger than Parasol, and with the comprehensive improvement after its mega evolution, Parasol, which was attacked first, lost its combat effectiveness after a short while even with Rock Lee's command.
"Be careful, Master, this Iron Palm Warrior has the [Perseverance] attribute, and the damage is very high."
Apollo doesn't know much about Rock Lee's main Pokémon, but Rakshasa and Parasol were Pokémon that joined later. Apollo often trained with them when he was under Rock Lee's guidance, so he is very familiar with them.
Although Mega Houndoom looks ferocious, it is by no means a reckless man. It has a dark heart and is more cunning than you can imagine.
It was clearly aware of the degree of restraint that the Iron Palm had on itself, and was very careful in cooperating with Apollo in the attack, not giving the Iron Palm any chance for a head-on confrontation.
The two sides fought for a long time. Although Mega Houndoom was hit by several fighting-type moves of Iron Palm, it inflicted greater damage to Iron Palm.
Even with the attribute restraint and the crushing command, the extremely powerful Super Houndoom still defeated the Iron Palm Warrior and won the final victory.
Although Rock Lee lost the battle, he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he looked at his little apprentice with satisfaction.
"How about it, Master? Are Hei Lu and I stronger?"
At this time, Houndoom had already exited the state of mega evolution. It was lying at Apollo's feet, panting heavily. Apollo also sat on the ground with his head in his arms to rest in order to cooperate with the mega evolution.
At this stage, super evolution is still a huge burden for them.
"To be honest, I'm really surprised that you were able to Mega Evolve so early. I didn't expect that the relationship between you and Houndoom was so deep."
"Do you know why?"
Rock Lee and Apollo turned to the place where the sound came from, and Hua Jianming was riding on the ancient sword leopard and walking towards them step by step.
"Because birds of a feather flock together."
Rock Lee opened his mouth but said nothing, while Apollo smiled awkwardly.
"Boss, do you know everything?"
"How could I not know? Dean Sima told me everything. You are very powerful in the academy."
Of course, although Sima Nanfeng complained to Hua Jianming, it can be seen that he still loves Apollo very much.
In his opinion, this little guy was exactly what he liked.
As for the mischievous things that Apollo and Houndoom did together, Sima Nanfeng even felt that this was beneficial to the growth of those students in the Elf Academy who were pranked.
"Aren't you working for the Supervisory Team?"
"On weekends, I always go to the Fairy Academy to play on weekends."
"So in just two days of the week, you caused chaos in the Elf Academy and even asked the dean to complain to the boss?"
"..."
Li Luoke was a little speechless. He finally understood what Hua Jianming meant by "birds of a feather flock together".
The four iron bonds in life are studying together, carrying guns together, visiting prostitutes together, and dividing the spoils together.
Apollo and Houndoom already account for the top three.
Rock Lee even believed that if it weren't for the fact that humans and elves had completely different perspectives, these two idiots would have probably possessed all four irons.
"Master, I have passed your test. Where is the reward you promised me?"
Rock Lee didn't have time to deal with this guy at this time, so he could only bring out the already hatched Coyote and Zoroark.
"Coyote Dog and Zoroa?"
"Yes, these two elves are my rewards to you. The Coyote Hound had cyan qualifications when it was hatched, and I asked the boss to help raise Zoroark's qualifications."
"You will be their trainer from now on, so you must treat them well."
These will be Apollo's third and fourth elves. He was so excited that he held the two little bean-sized guys in his arms and rubbed them with his face.
You can see that he really likes it.
"By the way, boss, why are you here at this time..."
Chapter 485 Cao Modi's Wish
Hua Jianming did not answer Li Luoke's question, but waved at the two of them, indicating that they should follow him.
The two quickly followed.
Hua Jianming's destination is the mineral-rich rock area. At this moment, the ancient climbing tree is surrounded by elves, and Cao Modi is also watching with his two Bangilas.
There is a huge pile of rocks under the ancient rock tree, and there is a pool of water around the pile of rocks. That is the water from the Thunder Pool in the Roaring Thunder Domain.
