Chapter 77: Wilderness Exploration
He now has Elite Level strength, so as long as he doesn’t go too deep into the Qingyun Mountain Range, there won’t be any danger.
Most importantly, he is a divination master, skilled at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
After taking out the Turtle Shell, Lu Li began Divination.
Three Ancient Copper Coins landed, and Lu Li looked satisfied at his Divination result.
No surprises or dangers, although not Great Omen of Good Fortune, it was still Minor Good Fortune. At least his luck today was decent.
Lu Li first returned to the Villa to put the wilderness survival Tools he had prepared long ago into his Backpack, then left the Villa with his Pokémon.
Before leaving, Lu Li made a special trip to Bidoof Forest and asked the Bidoof Leader to help watch the Orchard during his absence.
Lu Li wasn’t worried about wild Pokémon destroying his Orchard. In the Pokémon World, even Dark Attribute Pokémon wouldn’t deliberately destroy Berry seedlings.
But everything has its uncertainties, and Sand Scale Fruit was too important, so adding an extra layer of insurance was absolutely not excessive.
Riding on Tropius flying in the sky, Lu Li asked, “We need to arrange guard Pokémon too. Tropius, what do you think of the Bidoof?”
“Trop~”
（Their strength is insufficient.）
“No problem, we can help them Growth.”
Lu Li had no intention of conquering the Bidoof. If possible, Lu Li wanted to form a Contract with the Bidoof Tribe （similar to a labor contract between Boss and employees）.
“Trop~”
（Wouldn’t this be a bad deal?）
“No problem, after all, they’re just guarding the place, and the Bidoof Leader can also use synchronized legion formation. Maybe in the future we can even nurture a Flying Legion.” Lu Li was very confident about this, or more accurately, confident in himself.
“Trop~”
（Didn’t you say before that you wanted to form a Ghost Legion?）
Lu Li laughed, “Actually, what I want most is a Dragon Legion.”
“Trop~”
（That might be a bit difficult, but I believe you can definitely do it.）
“Hahaha… Tropius, you really have confidence in me.” Lu Li’s hearty laughter echoed in the air.
A Dragon Legion was, of course, just talk.
After all, that was the noble Dragon Attribute. Having a Dragon Type team was already outrageous enough, let alone a Dragon Legion.
A so-called Legion consisted of at least 300 Pokémon.
Three hundred Dragon Type Pokémon—Lu Li felt that even the legendary Dragon Secret Realm would struggle to gather so many combat-capable Dragon Type Pokémon.
Of course, the Dragon here referred to proper Dragons, not Alolan form Exeggutor.
During the Flight, Lu Li kept having Milotic emit her aura. Elite Level aura was still very effective in the outer Area.
Even irritable tribes like Noctowl wouldn’t dare cause trouble.
However, such good fortune was limited to the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Upon reaching the middle circle, Lu Li had Tropius reduce Flight speed.
“Tropius, let’s fly low to the ground and as slow as possible. I’ll use Spiritual Power Scan on the surroundings to see if I can find any Treasure.” Lu Li said softly.
The Spiritual Power Scan range of Qi Refining Layer 1 was about 100 meters. This Scope wasn’t large but wasn’t small either.
Tropius nodded, then reduced Flight speed.
Lu Li had no intention of going deep into the Qingyun Mountain Range. With his current strength, treasure hunting in the middle circle was the best choice.
Although there was more Treasure deep in the Mountain Range, one needed to have the life to take it.
“Wait!”
Lu Li suddenly called for Tropius to stop.
Lu Li pointed to the right front and reminded, “Fly in that direction.”
Tropius quickly flew to the Place Lu Li indicated upon receiving the order.
After jumping down from Tropius’s back, Lu Li released Milotic and Charmander.
Lu Li’s destination was a Big Tree, or more precisely, the Tree Hollow of the Big Tree.
“Milotic, use Water Cannon on the Tree Hollow.” Lu Li commanded.
A Water Cannon of moderate Power shot into the Tree Hollow. Soon after, a deafening roar came from inside the Tree Hollow.
“Roar!”
A nearly two-meter-tall brown bear-like Pokémon walked out.
Ursaring.
Ursaring was not popular in the circle of wild Pokémon, but it was very popular in the circle of Trainers.
Because Ursaring was a brutish and domineering Pokémon, and plus Ursaring had the Pickup Ability in its Teddyursa stage, Ursaring Nests generally had some good stuff.
In the eyes of adventure-loving Trainers, an Ursaring Nest often meant Treasure.
However, Ursaring’s Base Stat Total and Strength were generally strong, and it liked to rob other Pokémon’s things, so most wild Pokémon disliked Ursaring.
The already irritable Ursaring became even angrier upon seeing Lu Li.
“Roar~”
（Dare to disturb my afternoon nap! Die!）
Ursaring came up and prepared to hit Lu Li with an Arm Hammer.
Unfortunately, it was a close-combat Skill…
Ursaring’s strength was Veteran Level Late Stage, which was already considered an expert in the middle circle of the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Facing the ferocious Arm Hammer, the eager Charmander countered with a Flamethrower.
But it was useless. Ursaring blocked it with one hand, tanked the Flamethrower, and arrived in front of Lu Li.
“Milotic, use Water Cannon to blast it away.” Lu Li immediately commanded.
Milotic knew few damaging Type Skills, but since it was facing a wild Pokémon, this wasn’t too fatal a flaw.
Although there was no Type Advantage, the Level-suppressed Ursaring flew backward after being hit by Water Cannon.
After crashing heavily into a nearby tree, Ursaring sat up somewhat disheveled from the ground.
“Roar!”
（You’re so beautiful, why do you hit so hard?）
Milotic truly didn’t know what connection there was between being beautiful and hitting hard.
Lu Li also didn’t know the connection between the two, but that didn’t stop him from continuing to deal with Ursaring.
“Milotic, send it off with Twister.” Lu Li commanded.
Ursaring, feeling wind under its butt, was stunned for a moment. After checking if there was something under its butt, it realized it was flying.
As the Twister grew larger, Ursaring was enveloped and spun at high speed. Just like a person thrown into a washing machine drum.
Like Flame Vortex, Twister’s Power wasn’t great, but it excelled more in control and utility.
When the Twister stopped, the surroundings were a mess, and Ursaring lay peacefully on the ground.
Lu Li didn’t command Milotic to finish it off. Unless it was an emergency, Lu Li generally wouldn’t kill wild Pokémon.
“Xiao Hong, it’s your turn to perform.” Lu Li patted Charmander.
“Char?”
Charmander looked at Lu Li in confusion.
Lu Li explained, “There must be lots of good stuff in Ursaring’s Nest. Go in first and use Spark to Purify the air inside. Remember not to burn anything.”
As everyone knew, Ursaring Nests were generally dirty and messy, so searching for Treasure inside was like panning for gold in dung.
Although Lu Li didn’t mind, it was best to avoid it if possible.
Hearing that the Trainer wanted it to go in and play with fire—though it couldn’t burn things—Charmander excitedly dove into the Tree Hollow.
After entering the Tree Hollow, Charmander realized it had been greatly deceived.
