"Everyone, let's take a break. Aron, seal off the cave entrance with Rock Tomb while maintaining oxygen levels."
Qingwu leaned wearily against the deep rock wall of the cave, a chilling cold seeping into him.
Snivy used Grassy Terrain, adding a touch of green to the cave.
The plants of Grassy Terrain could also absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into fresh oxygen.
Golbat flapped its already frozen wings. Snivy had deliberately left an area un-covered by Grassy Terrain to make it easier to start a bonfire.
Gastly spit out some dried branches it had saved. Magmar shot a tongue of fire, igniting the branches.
The temperature in the cave quickly rose. Qingwu held his frozen hands over the fire to warm them.
After some time, he finally felt some sensation return.
Qingwu was only halfway up the mountain now, with about two thousand "two hundred and eighty" meters left to the summit, and there was no path remaining.
He could only rely on Golbat to carry him up.
A Level 10 gale, plus Qingwu, made for a challenging task. Golbat felt dizzy itself.
Qingwu wondered why he was so impulsive, wanting to find Dratini.
Perhaps Qingwu wanted to give Dratini a warm embrace when it was helpless and alone.
Qingwu watched as the snow outside grew heavier.
So he instructed Magmar to periodically use Flamethrower on the cracks in the cave entrance, to prevent the heavy snow from completely sealing the cave.
Qingwu took a cold grilled fish from his bracelet. Because it was cold, the grilled fish had a somewhat fishy smell. The bracelet could neither preserve live creatures nor keep things warm.
Qingwu heated the fish over the fire for a while, then took out a transparent glass bottle and had Gastly pour honey into it until it was full.
The honey collected by Combee was different, and the effects of the brewed honey were also different.
This bottle of honey was amber-orange and transparent, without any impurities – this was Hundred Flower Honey.
Hundred Flower Honey had a wide range of uses and was an excellent tonic. Many important figures in the Pokémon League used Hundred Flower Honey to nourish their bodies.
Qingwu unreservedly poured Hundred Flower Honey onto the grilled fish and re-made Pokéblocks, all of which contained some Hundred Flower Honey.
The Pokémon were also very happy to taste the Pokéblocks of different flavors.
"The quality of this Hundred Flower Honey is really good," Qingwu tasted a bit, finding it sweet but not cloying. A warm current rose in his abdomen, flowing through his limbs and bones, and the day's fatigue immediately vanished.
Combee's honey was also divided into several grades: S, A, B, and C.
This particular Hundred Flower Honey, Qingwu tasted, was infinitely close to A-grade.
It seemed that the level of these Combee was not low.
It was a pity that even if it was infinitely close to A-grade, the price of B-grade honey was a hundred times less than A-grade honey.
However, no matter how much honey these Combee produced, Qingwu would not sell it; his own Pokémon still needed it.
As his Pokémon evolved, Qingwu's pressure increased significantly.
After Golbat evolved, it would require more high-level Pokémon blood. The blood of Crobat and Arbok that Qingwu had extracted on Badami Island had also run out.
The remaining blood of Hydreigon, Sharpedo, Nidoqueen, and Houndoom, Qingwu would only use for specific Pokémon, so he wouldn't touch it for now.
However, Qingwu planned to find an opportunity to continue "shearing the wool" of Cāng's Pokémon and extract a few more tubes of Elite Four-level blood to save.
If Golbat hadn't just drunk the blood of an Elite Four-level Dragonite, the immense energy of which had not yet been digested, Qingwu would have been anxious about his dwindling blood supply.
"Oh, right!" Qingwu slapped his thigh. There were so many Elite Four-level Pokémon on Dragon Island anyway.
Qingwu could completely use gems to exchange for the blood of these Elite Four-level Pokémon. After all, drawing only a little blood would not affect the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Qingwu's internal calculations were clinking loudly.
Using gems to exchange for Dragon-type resources was something Qingwu had planned all along. Moreover, Dragonite's blood could further accelerate Dratini's growth and shorten its juvenile period.
He could also collect Dragon Fangs, Dragon Scales, and the like. Dragon-type Pokémon shed their teeth very quickly, so this was not a problem at all.
In this way, the problems of Golbat and his Dragon-type Pokémon could all be resolved.
At the very least, Deino, Dratini, and Swablu would have no problem evolving to their next stages.
Qingwu had already regarded Swablu as his own Pokémon; the distance between Swablu and him was just one Poké Ball.
Qingwu planned to send Aron to the Steel-type Sacred Land, after all, the Devon Corporation was famous for being rich.
The Devon Corporation father and son were also known ore enthusiasts. With Netherite Ore as a stepping stone, Qingwu didn't believe the Devon Corporation father and son wouldn't take the bait. 0... However, the Rayquaza Capture Plan directly meant that Ren Li could not participate in the League's operations.
If the Devon Corporation father and son recognized him as a Team Rocket spy, then he would be completely finished.
As for Wartortle's Pokémon resources, Qingwu planned to rely on the future second largest force in the Hoenn Region, Lumiose Gym.
The Lumiose Gym was said to be the overlord of the Hoenn Region, once controlling the three legendary beasts: Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre.
But for some unknown reason, it disintegrated overnight, splitting into four major forces.
The Draconid people of Meteor Falls, the descendants of Rayquaza.
Team Magma, who extremely worshipped Groudon and wanted to create countless landmasses in the ocean.
Team Aqua, who extremely worshipped Kyogre and wanted to sink the entire continent to the bottom of the sea.
And another was the newly established Lumiose Gym.
The current Gym Leader of this Lumiose Gym was Adam, the Gym Leader of Liuli City's Lumiose Gym.
The Lumiose Gym not only had Water-type inheritance but also Psychic-type inheritance. However, due to the turmoil, the Psychic-type inheritance mysteriously disappeared.
Qingwu knew who held this Psychic-type inheritance and could intercept it in advance, thereby joining the Lumiose Gym in the Hoenn Region.
After all, the next Gym Leader of the Lumiose Gym, Wallace, was the next Champion. Two Champions appeared in one region.
This made the Hoenn Region the most powerful presence among the eight regions, even the Sinnoh region conceded defeat.
Moreover, Adam's main Pokémon included Sharpedo, Blastoise, and Swampert, which Qingwu happened to have.
For Fire-type Pokémon, Qingwu would consult Flannery's grandfather from Lavaridge Gym, a retired Elite Four-level Fire-type Trainer of the Pokémon League.
Camerupt was his most powerful Pokémon. In his previous life, Qingwu only discovered that this old Elite Four-level Trainer was actually very familiar with his parents.
Qingwu's Day Care was located on the outskirts of Mauville City, occupying a central position in the Hoenn Region.
It was very close to Lavaridge Gym, so this old Elite Four-level Trainer often visited Qingwu's Day Care.
As for Snivy, that was also not a problem. Lian was originally a Gym-level Grass-type Trainer and also had a formidable Serperior.
Therefore, Qingwu's system stored Lian's training methods and required resources for Serperior, so advancing to Gym-level should be no problem...
