This mark that carries the ancient sword leopard's deep hatred cannot be erased at all.

As long as Yuma Kanno betrays him, he will be hunted down by the Ancient Sword Leopard no matter where he is.

At that time, Hua Jianming will naturally take over his elves.

However, the purpose of Hua Jianming doing this was also to test Yuma Shikano. If possible, he wanted to subdue Yuma Shikano and the group of veterans under his command.

They will be needed in some future battles.

After all, these are Japanese people, so Hua Jianming thinks it will not be a burden to use them.

Vermilion City is a very important coastal city in the Kanto region.

The city of Jinhuang, located at the southern estuary, has a large seaport that serves ships such as the Santiano, the Water Flow, and the Sea Flame Horse that travel to and from all over the world.

In addition, there is also a military port used by the United Alliance garrison.

There are a large number of water-type Pokémon such as Starfish, Shellder, and Psyduck living near Golden City, as well as some very rare Psychic-type Pokémon such as Slowpoke and Hypnotist.

Hua Jianming, who was riding on the ancient sword leopard and strolling on the road, met an unexpected person - Naganuma Shunji.

He is Doctor Elf of the Neon Alliance.

He also attended the Ultimate Beast Exchange Conference held at the Kyoto Research Institute a few years ago.

This guy is an authority on Pokémon research in the Neon Alliance, and his main research topic is "the relationship between Pokémon and humans."

He was one of the pioneers who advocated the classification of elves by attributes, and also served as an advisor to the World United Alliance.

He is a relatively pure scholar.

At this time, Naganuma Shunji, with a wretched look on his face, was holding a magnifying glass and looking left and right, up and down at the ancient sword leopard, not worried at all about whether he would be attacked by the ancient sword leopard.

He recognized Hua Jianming and believed that Hua Jianming would not let the elves attack him.

Hua Jianming said faintly: "Doctor, you won't use your passion for women to study my elves, right?"

Hua Jianming's words made Naganuma Shunji unable to breathe and he almost fainted.

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

Naganuma Toshiharu shook his head and hands frequently in panic, which made his intention to cover up something even more obvious.

"It's also the look in your eyes that tells me that I'm probably right."

At this point, Hua Jianming looked at Naganuma Shunji from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze: "To be honest, your just quibbling is just a cover-up to cover up one's own guilt, as we in the Huaxia Alliance would say."

"Do you know what it means?" Hua Jianming asked.

Naganuma Shunji shook his head.

"It's the kind of thing where you say 'I'm not, I'm not', but your face says 'I am, I am'."

Naganuma Shunji's face turned completely black: "Little friend, you can frame me, but I will never admit it!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Hua Jianming acted as if he was embarrassed and said, "You know, I am always curious about things and I like to explore various possibilities."

"Forget it, let's not discuss this matter for now."

Naganuma Shunji waved his hand and then turned his gaze back to the ancient sword leopard.

"Exploring multiple possibilities of things" is academically correct and something that deserves praise, but there are some problems with the things being explored.

The two continued to talk for a few more sentences, and found that they were going the same way, so they decided to go to Jinhuang City together.

"I used to be a famous Pokémon trainer! At that time, besides me, there was another expert who was passionate about Pokémon battles..."

Shunji Naganuma rode his fawn and walked side by side with Ming Huajian. He introduced his past while sketching the ancient sword leopard.

He simply loved this handsome elf.

The Frighthorn Deer ridden by Shunji Naganuma is one of the Pokémon unique to the Neon Alliance.

It has a sturdy body, brown all over, a beige belly, two small beige spots on its back, and a huge, ball-shaped tail.

Although the Frightened Deer is a normal type, it has very strange abilities.

Their oddly shaped horns have the power to confuse others. If you stare at their horns, you will have a magical feeling as if you are being sucked into the center of the circle, unable to stand firm with your own strength.

The black beads that fall off its horns can be ground into medicine to treat insomnia. Because the perfectly shaped horns can be sold for a high price as works of art, the horned deer has been hunted to near extinction over the years.

This is even worse than what the Neon Alliance did to the whales before the New Calendar.

"That trainer is Akino Ozawa, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of your alliance, right?"

Hua Jianming stole a glance at Naganuma Shunji's sketch and found that it was just a stick figure drawn with three strokes. He complained on the spot: "I heard that you wanted to have a ghost romance with her, but she didn't even bother to pay attention to you."

Akino Ozawa is one of the four heavenly kings of the Neon Alliance, and the only female ghost among the four heavenly kings of the alliance.

She is about the same age as Wenren Xuesong.

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

Naganuma Toshiharu once again shook his head and hands in panic at a high frequency, which seemed to make his intentions even more obvious.

"Ah, isn't that so?"

Hua Jianming tilted his head and looked at Naganuma Shunji with a puzzled look on his face.

That serious look made Naganuma Shunji so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He couldn't possibly argue with a kid of this age who could be his grandson, right?

"Ahem, little friend, don't bring up these kinds of gossips you've heard in the future, got it?"

Toshiharu Naganuma clenched his fists, put one hand behind his back, and put the other hand under his mouth, pretending to cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Seeing Hua Jianming nod, Naganuma Shunji picked up the sketch board that he had dropped in a panic with satisfaction, and patted the dust off his work with heartache.

"Ask a question."

Huajian Ming looked at Naganuma Shunji's movements and asked curiously: "Today's technology should have cameras, right? Dr. Naganuma, why do you still use sketches to record elves?"

Naganuma Shunji instantly became interested. He shook his head and said, "Sketch of elves can help me understand them better. This process is essential to studying elves in my opinion!"

I see……

Speaking of which, although Toshiharu Naganuma is the elf doctor of the Neon Alliance, Hua Jianming does not hate him. The main reason is that he recognizes his academic attitude.

"Dr. Naganuma, what are you doing in Golden City?"

Seeing that no one answered him, Hua Jianming turned around and found that this guy was sitting in front of the Tutu dog that suddenly appeared on the side of the road and started sketching it.

Similarly, Tutu Dog also sketched Shunji Naganuma...

Chapter 669 Entering Golden City

Hearing Hua Jianming calling him, Naganuma Shunzhi looked at Hua Jianming with clear yet stupid eyes: "Little friend, were you talking to me just now?"

"Uh-huh?"

Just as Hua Jianming was trying to pass it over, a soft voice came into their ears.

Then, a cute elf with big, adorable eyes and a neck full of cream-colored hair appeared in their sight.

It's Ibrahimovic!

"It turns out to be Eevee. It's a rare Pokémon that can evolve into many forms." Naganuma Shunji was extremely excited when he saw Eevee.

He even explained it to Hua Jianming on the spot.

"I know this. It has an unbalanced and unstable genetic gene. It is easy to evolve into elves with different attributes due to differences in various environmental factors, such as evolution stones."

Hua Jianming's introduction made Naganuma Shunji's eyes light up. He didn't expect that Hua Jianming actually knew the concept of "genetic genes".

"You're right. Although I haven't figured out why only Eevee carries the unstable genetic gene, I know that Eevee's genes are the key to unlocking the mystery of Pokémon evolution."

Toshiharu Naganuma's eyes were full of curiosity.

But to the cute Eevee, this look looked like that of a creepy uncle, and it was so scared that it quickly hid in the bushes nearby.

"So kiddo, which Eevee evolution do you like?"

Toshiharu Naganuma seemed to have thought of something. While asking Huajian Ming a question, he searched everywhere on his body.

Soon, Toshiharu Naganuma took out three evolution stones.

"These are the Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunder Stone. Eevee can use them to evolve into Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon respectively. As a thank you for letting me sketch two Pokémon today, you can choose one and take it away."

At this time, a rare cunning look appeared in Toshiharu Naganuma's eyes.

He continued, "If you are willing to come back to Pallet Town with me and let me study the Ancient Sword Leopard and the Charcoal Servant, I will give you all three Evolution Stones."

The three evolution stones were all high-quality evolution stones worth 500,000 Alliance Coins. Naganuma Toshiharu was really generous.

Perhaps such evolution stones do not seem so precious to him as a Pokémon doctor, but for the vast majority of trainers who are still struggling for food for their Pokémons, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

Hua Jianming said casually: "I like Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee."

"..."

Toshiharu Naganuma was petrified on the spot.

He scratched his head awkwardly. "Although the evolution ratio of Sol and Luna has begun to increase gradually, I'm sorry, my colleagues and I haven't figured out a specific rule yet."

He added: "What we can confirm at the moment is that Sol Eevee evolves during the day and Luna Eevee evolves at night, but we think there are some factors that we haven't understood that affect the evolution."

Naganuma Shunji looked distressed.

This is the academic barrier he has always dreamed of overcoming.

Hua Jianming thought to himself: It seems that the Neon Alliance’s research on evolution is not thorough enough, and many things have not been systematically studied.

This is far inferior to the elf research of the Huaxia Alliance.

Of course, a large part of the progress of the Huaxia Alliance's elf research is attributed to Wanqi Kang and Han Xin.

Han Xin obtained a lot of theories from Huajianming. Wanqi Kang first put the theories into practice to get definite conclusions, and then drew inferences from them to develop a lot of extended theories.

"So, why can't the influencing factor be intimacy?" Hua Jianming reminded casually.

!!!

Just like being petrified by Gengar's attack, Toshiharu Naganuma stood there in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.

"On what basis do you base your guess?"
