Chapter 104: Onix Pokémon Egg
The noble Dragon Attribute goes without saying; it has the most Divine Beasts.
As for the Bug Attribute?
Lu Li was not too sure about the positioning of Guzzlord in this world. Guzzlord itself was just a primordial Pokémon, though it was called the strongest hunter in the primordial era.
But calling it a Deity was still a bit too exaggerated, and this world had no distinction between Divine Beasts and Phantom Beasts, so Lu Li was not too sure about this Pokémon’s positioning.
If it was a Divine Beast, that would be fine; at least Guzzlord would preserve the dignity of the Bug Type among Divine Beasts. If not, then the Bug Type would become the only attribute among the eighteen major attributes without a god.
Looking at Yu Zhonggang who was stubbornly hyping up the Steel-type next to him, Lu Li opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
Just as the two were talking, an Onix crawled over.
“Rock~”
The Onix let out a loud cry.
Bronzong translated: “Onix says Lu Li passed the test and can obtain an Onix Pokémon Egg.”
Hearing this, Yu Zhonggang was overjoyed: “Hahaha, what an unexpected surprise! I didn’t expect you to just go up for a formality and catch their eye. If Jin Huang that kid knew about this, he’d probably be envious to death.”
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li hadn’t expected his battle with Jin Longyu to attract the attention of the Onixes, or even allow him to take away an Onix Pokémon Egg because of it.
But to be fair, Onix had never really been in his range of choices.
Although Steelix’s attribute broke 500 and it could even Mega Evolve, but…
Alright.
Thinking carefully, Lu Li found that picking an Onix seemed pretty good too.
“Let’s go, hurry up and follow.” Yu Zhonggang patted the stunned Lu Li.
Lu Li, coming back to his senses, nodded hurriedly.
“Let me tell you, the qualifications of the Onix here are all pretty good. Most of them have Gym Level potential. You’ve really found a treasure this time,” Yu Zhonggang said excitedly as he walked ahead.
For others, Gym Level potential was indeed heaven-defying, but for Lu Li, potential below Heavenly King Level wasn’t much.
This wasn’t arrogance, but the confidence given to him by his cheat.
Led by the Onix, Lu Li was soon brought to a huge stone cave.
Several Onix were guarding the doorway of this stone cave, including even a Gym Level Onix.
Lu Li gained a clear understanding of the strength of Onix in this Secret Realm.
There were many Pokémon Eggs placed in the stone cave. Lu Li roughly counted and found there were 14 Pokémon Eggs here.
And this was with people frequently taking Pokémon Eggs away; otherwise, there would be even more Pokémon Eggs here.
Yu Zhonggang reminded in a low voice: “Go pick a Pokémon Egg. Choose the one placed in the highest position; its qualification might be better.”
Lu Li nodded, then looked at the empty spot on the top of the stone cave wall. There should have originally been a Pokémon Egg there, but it had been taken.
Lu Li quickly guessed who had taken that Pokémon Egg.
Forming hand seals with both hands and activating his Spiritual Vision Eye, Lu Li instantly entered a colorful world.
The fortune of every egg here was not low. Based on the deduction that qualification might be one or two levels lower than fortune, Lu Li found that even the worst-qualified Pokémon Egg here was Elite Level, and most had Gym Level potential.
“No wonder so many people want Pokémon Eggs from Secret Realms. Can the general qualifications be this outrageous?” Lu Li thought in sudden realization.
Unfortunately, there was no Heavenly King Level potential Pokémon Egg in this stone cave.
Pokémon Eggs taken from here definitely couldn’t be resold, nor given away. Lu Li sighed lackadaisically.
“Uncle Yu, I don’t want…” Lu Li, just about to express his lack of interest in the Pokémon Eggs here, suddenly stopped.
Lu Li’s eyes stared fixedly at the Pokémon Egg behind Yu Zhonggang.
“This fortune… how is that possible?” Lu Li thought incredulously.
A purple fortune Pokémon Egg!
What was this concept?
This was the fortune only a Pokémon with a chance to step into the Divine Realm would have.
This Pokémon Egg was placed at the very bottom, looking as if it had been casually discarded there. Why did this Pokémon Egg have such luck?
Lu Li hurriedly went around Yu Zhonggang and picked up the Pokémon Egg on the ground: “This one.”
Yu Zhonggang reminded: “The bottom layer Pokémon Egg, even casually placed on the ground. This Pokémon’s qualification might not be high.”
Lu Li confidently comforted: “Uncle Yu, please trust the eye of an Intermediate Breeder.”
“Alright, anyway, the qualifications of the Pokémon Eggs here are all similar. It can’t be that bad,” Yu Zhonggang still didn’t believe Lu Li’s choice.
However, considering it was Lu Li’s choice, and Lu Li’s luck had always been outrageously good, Yu Zhonggang didn’t persuade further.
Holding the Onix Pokémon Egg, Lu Li happily left the stone cave.
Just as he exited the stone cave, Lu Li ran into Jin Longyu and his grandson.
Jin Longyu looked puzzled at the Pokémon Egg in Lu Li’s arms: “An Onix Pokémon Egg? Aren’t you taking the Water Type Trainer route?”
Lu Li said seriously: “I’m a Breeder; Trainer is just a side job.”
Hearing this answer, the corners of Jin Longyu’s mouth twitched upward slightly.
Suppressing the urge to laugh out loud, Jin Longyu nodded expressionlessly.
After Lu Li walked away, Jin Longyu mocked happily: “A foolish choice.”
“Indeed quite foolish,” the old man next to him nodded in deep agreement.
If his own grandson had talent in both Breeder and Trainer aspects, but insisted on taking the Breeder route, he would absolutely break the kid’s legs and make him know what Power is Supreme meant.
Having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it were two completely different things.
“Want to keep playing? Everyone who can be here are some very excellent Trainers, and most are children of the Jin Family and government high officials,” Yu Zhonggang asked with a smile.
Before becoming a Gym Leader, he had scorned such useless socializing, but after becoming a Gym Leader, he had to follow local customs.
“Nah, I probably don’t have any common topics with them,” Lu Li shook his head and refused.
Fooling around with a bunch of second-generation kids was better spent using the time to continue exploring the Secret Realm; after all, such opportunities were rare.
“Alright.”
Yu Zhonggang nodded helplessly, but he understood Lu Li. At Lu Li’s age, his eyes had only Pokémon and adventure too.
After bidding farewell to Yu Zhonggang, Lu Li returned to the camp at the foot of the Snow Mountain.
Due to the Ice Stone Vein, there were no powerful Pokémon on the entire Snow Mountain, and the Pokémon living in the underground Icy World didn’t have the habit of coming out for walks.
For safety and convenience, Lu Li chose it as the permanent camp.
“Is this the opportunity of that Mountain Range?” Lu Li smiled as he looked at the Pokémon Egg in his hand.
Onix could also learn Ploughing, but Onix was rather honest as a Pokémon, and might not match Charmander in comprehension and intelligence.
But Lu Li wasn’t worried about Onix’s intelligence issue; if he could teach Clownfish Rain Dance, how much more so Onix?
At least Onix was just honest, not dull.
