Chapter 60

"That's right." Gu Ying nodded. "We already found an Evolution Stone on the first day; this trip will surely yield a great harvest."

Su Yu placed the Evolution Stone into his backpack, then continued moving forward.

"Let's go find some Berries first."

Inside the monitoring room outside the Hongyang Secret Realm.

Instructor Han Shao and several other teachers were all staring intently at the screens.

After all, the Hongyang Secret Realm was quite dangerous, and they needed to monitor the students' movements in real time.

"These freshmen are running around everywhere after entering the Secret Realm, completely unaware of its dangers."

"Do they think the Secret Realm is just a game of house? I hope this month will teach them how to truly survive within it."

"Instructor Han, Wu Zhen and his group of four are being chased by Beedrill. Should we send support immediately?"

Han Shao glanced at the monitors, then at the map, looking somewhat anxious.

"I didn't expect these few to reach the depths of the Secret Realm so early. Our personnel haven't even arrived there yet."

"Let them hold on for now; judging by their stamina, they should be able to last until our support team arrives."

Just as all the teachers were closely watching Wu Zhen's group of four, a figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

"That person is Su Yu; his Pokémon showed great strength during the entrance examination."

One of the teachers added.

Han Shao nodded. "Oh? Is that so? Then we probably won't need to intervene to rescue them."

Sure enough, on the monitor, Su Yu sent out Combusken and Luxio, who cleanly and efficiently defeated the Beedrill.

"Not bad, this freshman!"

Han Shao's eyes lit up.

Compared to the other freshmen visible on the monitors, Su Yu's strength was considerably greater.

"For the remainder of the time, keep a close watch on these three; I want to see exactly what they intend to do."

"Understood, Instructor Han!"

After heading to the Berry Grove, Su Yu and his two companions filled a large bag with Berries.

"This is enough; if we pack any more, it will be difficult to carry back."

Su Yu said, weighing the heavy bag in his hand.

Yan Ruyue and the other nodded.

"Then let's head back quickly."

With that, the three prepared to pack up their things and return directly.

"My Eevee has suddenly disappeared!"

Gu Ying suddenly exclaimed.

"I had Eevee keeping watch on the side while I was picking Berries, but in the blink of an eye, she vanished."

Gu Ying said with some anxiety.

Eevee was her starter Pokémon; if she got lost in the Secret Realm, it would be disastrous.

"Don't panic yet; I think Eevee must have been attracted by something, which is why she left."

"Let's search the surrounding area; we should be able to find her."

Su Yu spoke, offering comfort.

Inside the Secret Realm, one must never rush.

Even if a Pokémon gets lost, shouting loudly is forbidden, as it can easily attract wild Pokémon.

Hearing Su Yu's words, Gu Ying's previously anxious heart calmed down.

"Then let's hurry and search for her."

Yan Ruyue sent out her Fennekin, informing her about the situation with Eevee.

Su Yu also sent out his own Pokémon.

"If you spot Eevee, let me know immediately."

Su Yu instructed Combusken and Luxio.

After giving these orders, the three split up to begin their search.

However, after searching for half an hour, there was still no sign of Eevee.

When the three regrouped, Gu Ying's voice carried a hint of tears.

"Could my Eevee really be lost?"

"Rest assured; if Eevee doesn't see you for too long, she will definitely return."

Yan Ruyue hurried forward to comfort her.

Just then, a figure dashed out from the bushes nearby.

"Bui!"

This figure was none other than Gu Ying's Eevee.

As she ran, Eevee cried out anxiously.

"Eevee!!! I'm here!!"

Upon seeing Eevee, Gu Ying immediately shouted.

Seeing Gu Ying, Eevee ran straight to her side.

"Where did you go just now??" Gu Ying asked, sounding somewhat angry.

"Bui." Eevee lowered her head, explaining with a hint of grievance.

The gist was that she had met a good friend and went off to play with her.

Shortly after, a green figure leaped out from the grass.

A dark green leaf adorned her head, and a ring of buds encircled her neck.

It was none other than Chikorita, one of the starter Pokémon.

"It's actually a Chikorita?"

Su Yu looked somewhat surprised.

070: Capturing Treecko, Encountering Aron! (Requesting automatic subscription!)

[Name: Chikorita (Grass)]

[Gender: ♀]

[Level: LV.11 (Normal)]

[Ability: Overgrow (Increases the power of Grass-type moves when HP is low)~]

[Potential: Pseudo-Champion]

[IVs: HP (31), Attack (24), Sp. Atk (21), Defense (29), Sp. Def (31), Speed (22)]

[Moves: Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder, Synthesis, Vine Whip, Leech Seed]

[Description: Uses the leaf on its head to sense the temperature and humidity of its surroundings. Loves basking in sunlight.]

However, although Chikorita was a starter Pokémon, Su Yu had little interest.

This was because after evolving into Meganium, both its Attack and Special Attack stats were extremely low.

It simply did not live up to its status as a starter Pokémon.

Upon seeing Chikorita, Eevee immediately broke free from Gu Ying and ran to stand before her.

Clearly, Eevee had been following Chikorita just now.

"So this is the starter Pokémon Chikorita? So cute!"

Gu Ying said with some delight.

Seeing Chikorita, she immediately rushed over to cuddle her.

"Chikorita, would you like to come back with me? That way you can play with Eevee together."

Gu Ying looked at Chikorita with a moved expression; she wanted such a cute Pokémon for herself.

Chikorita looked at Eevee, then looked at Gu Ying.

A tempted expression appeared on her face, but she still shook her head.

"Why?" Gu Ying asked, some disappointment in her voice.

"Isn't it better to travel with us?"

"Chikorita!" Chikorita began speaking in its own Pokémon language.

At the same time, it waved its arms and danced about.

However, Su Yu roughly understood the meaning.

"You're saying you already have a partner, so you can't leave with us?"

Chikorita nodded.

Curiosity rose in Su Yu's heart; if this Pokémon could stay alongside Chikorita, it surely wouldn't be inferior.

"Could you bring your friend over for us to see?"

Su Yu walked up to Chikorita and said.

Chikorita looked at Su Yu's handsome face, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

It immediately darted into the bushes, and after a while, Chikorita returned with a new Pokémon.

It was a Pokémon that looked like a lizard.

Its body was grass-green, its tail a darker shade, and its belly rose-red.

It was none other than Treecko, one of the starter trio!

At this moment, it held a twig as thin as a toothpick in its mouth.

[Name: Treecko (Grass)]

[Gender: ♂]

[Level: LV.13 (Normal)]

[Ability: Overgrow (When HP is low, the power of Grass-type moves increases)]

[Potential: Pseudo-Champion]

[IVs: HP (29), Attack (31), Sp. Atk (31), Defense (27), Sp. Def (28), Speed (31)]

[Moves: Pound, Leer, Quick Attack, Bullet Seed, Mega Drain, Leech Seed]

[Description: It can climb vertical walls with ease. It uses its tail to sense air humidity, thereby predicting tomorrow's weather.]

Su Yu never expected that after Eevee brought back a Chikorita, it would actually bring back a Treecko as well!

After all, once Treecko eventually evolves into Sceptile, it becomes an incredibly handsome Pokémon.

With its dashing posture and domineering fighting style.

Many people developed an admiration for Ash after seeing his Sceptile.

Moreover, this Treecko's potential was quite excellent.

After evolving, it could specialize in either physical or special attacks.

Most importantly, Treecko's final evolution, Sceptile, is capable of Mega Evolution!

"Since you, Chikorita, don't want to be separated from Treecko, then let Treecko become my Pokémon. That way, you and Treecko can see each other every day. How about that?"

Su Yu looked at Treecko and discussed the matter with Chikorita.

Gu Ying let out a soft sound of surprise. "Su Yu, are you interested in Treecko?"

Su Yu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chikorita walked over to the nearby Treecko and began communicating with it in chirps.

Soon, the two Pokémon finished their discussion.

Treecko stepped forward from behind, looking at Su Yu with determined eyes.

"Scep!"

Su Yu understood its meaning.

"You want to battle me? Very well, I accept."

Su Yu threw out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, Vulpix!"

The snow-white Vulpix once again appeared before everyone.

Su Yu chose not to use any other Pokémon to battle Treecko.

At this moment, the Ice-type Vulpix's level was similar to Treecko's, but it held a type advantage, making it a perfectly suitable opponent for Treecko.

The moment Treecko saw Vulpix, it fixed a vigilant gaze upon it.

"Very good, extremely alert," Su Yu praised.

"In that case, let the battle begin."

"Vulpix, use Ice Shard to strike first!"

[Ice Shard: Instantly creates ice chunks and throws them rapidly at the opponent. Guarantees a priority attack.]

Ice Shard allows for a priority strike, is an Ice-type attack, and deals double damage to Treecko.

"Vul!" Vulpix cried softly, and immediately, small ice chunks condensed around it.

Once formed, the ice chunks rained down overwhelmingly toward Treecko.

"Scep!"

Struck by Ice Shard, Treecko frowned tightly and let out a cry of pain.

It swung its arm to shatter all the ice chunks, white light surging around its body as it charged straight at the Vulpix before it.

It was precisely Quick Attack.

"Vulpix, use Attract!"

[Attract: Infatuates the opponent. The opponent will find it very difficult to use moves.]

Six-Tail instantly shifted from its previous ferocity, striking instead an adorable pose.

"Liuwi~"

Six-Tail's cute cry, combined with its beautiful appearance, left the charging Treecko completely stunned.

He gazed at the Six-Tail before him, his eyes filled with heart shapes.

Clearly, the charming effect was super effective!

"Finish him off with a final Powder Snow!"

Six-Tail opened its mouth, exhaling a vast flurry of snowflakes.

The snowflakes, like a blizzard, howled as they surged toward the Treecko.

"Qiu!"

The Treecko was struck by Powder Snow once again.

Having taken two consecutive Ice-type moves, it instantly collapsed to the ground.

Treecko is unable to battle!

"Go, Poké Ball!"

Su Yu threw the Poké Ball in his hand; it struck the Treecko, wobbled a few times, and then fell still.

Seeing Su Yu capture the Treecko nearby, Gu Ying turned her gaze to the Chikorita before her.

"Your friend has already joined us; would you like to become my Pokémon too?"

The Chikorita nodded.

Then Gu Ying took out a Poké Ball, and the Chikorita stepped forward, tapping it.

"Haha, I've captured a Chikorita too!"

Gu Ying looked extremely happy.

Su Yu released the Treecko from its Poké Ball.

Then he took out some healing medicine from his backpack and treated it.

"Qiu." The Treecko regained consciousness during the treatment.

"Don't worry. Since I've captured you, I will definitely help you grow stronger," Su Yu said, patting the Treecko's head.

"Qiu!" The Treecko nodded.

With everything settled, the three of them returned to the plains, carrying their Berries.

Monitoring Room.

The group of teachers watched on the screens as Su Yu and his companions first encountered a Chikorita, then a Treecko.

They were so shocked they were rendered speechless.
