Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 28 new area
"Nat. Didn't become the Fishing King, but became the Water Pokémon Doctor?"

With doubts, Xia Ye clicked on the information about Dr. Nat. He never learned about Pokémon in his youth. He became a doctor after continuous learning during field trips.

In addition to studying special evolution, he was also determined to collect and refine information on the habits, living environment, characteristics, etc. of water Pokémon, which played an important role in the compilation of modern Pokémon illustrated books.

What’s interesting is that Dr. Nutt’s partner, Gyarados, is a rare individual with a peaceful personality. With its help, Dr. Nutt can travel across mountains, rivers, and lakes to explore the mysteries of Pokémon.

Dr. Nutt's hobby is fishing, but according to himself, his fishing skills are very poor, and it is common for him to go without catching a bait for half a month.

"That guy later caught the King of Lakes. Humph, isn't that a very good technique?" The tone was slightly teasing, but Xia Ye said it with a smile.

Then, he stood up and left the chair, looking at the monkey sitting on the bed.

"Let's go, Pa Dong Monkey, it's time for us to check out the newly added area."

"Boom~"

On the southwest side of Sunset Forest, the new area is located here.

"Hey, this is..."

"Roar"

In front of them was a scene that shocked both Xia Ye and Pa Dong Monkey. The ground collapsed to form a deep pit, which seemed to have touched the underground water veins. Now spring water was continuously emerging from the bottom, mixed with mud and making it slightly turbid.

According to the current speed of the spring water, it won't be long before a large lake will be formed here.

"So the expanded areas are also related to the experience of space-time distortion."

The first time he traveled to the ranch, the area near the lawn was added. The second time he helped the ugly fish evolve at Catfish King Lake, this time the expanded area was a lake.

"It's not bad to be honest."

The newly added lake is of great help to Xia Ye's life as a forest ranger. His domestic water used to come from Spike Town, and daily washing was very inconvenient. Now that the water source is in the forest, it is more convenient for him to access it.

Moreover, the lake can also provide a clean water source for the Pokémon living in the Sunset Forest. Although the lake water looks turbid now, it should become clear after settling. After all, its source is underground spring water.

"But it feels like something is missing." Xia Ye glanced around.

"Donghou?"

The click monkey showed a puzzled expression, what else is missing?

Xia Ye thought for a moment and took Pa Dong Monkey back to the wooden house. When they came back, Xia Ye inserted the newly made wooden sign next to the pit, which read:

"The water is deep and dangerous, please don't get close."

"Huh, this is perfect." Xia Ye wiped the sweat on the top of his head, looked at the wooden sign and nodded, showing a satisfied expression.

"The next step is to fulfill the agreement, but are you going on a long trip? You need to find a steward for the forest before leaving."

Xia Ye got the evolution box again during the second time and space distortion, and could continue the evolution plan of the little wood spirit.

"That's it. Are any of you willing to evolve?"

Xia Ye explained the functions of the props in his hands and asked them for their opinions. The three little wood spirits touched each other's branches above their heads, and then shook their heads at the same time.

"Aren't you willing to evolve?" If they are unwilling to evolve, Xia Ye is not going to force it.

Then they shook their heads again, and Xia Ye showed a questioning expression.

"I'm willing to evolve, but not now. Do you think you can't shoulder the responsibility of the forest guardian now?" This time the three little wood spirits nodded hard. They were born in such a short time that they don't understand many things clearly and cannot distinguish them carefully. Human malice.

If you have no power and no judgment to bear this power, it is better to wait until you grow up before evolving.

Moreover, in this world, Pokémon have a greater chance of learning their own moves while being weak. Since their ideas are so thoughtful, Xia Ye will naturally not force them.

"I understand, but I will leave this opportunity to you."

The box in Xia Ye's hand quickly changed and turned into a black rope with unique plugs at both ends, exuding a magical atmosphere.

"This is a connection rope that can help you evolve. I will put it in the drawer where the work cards are stored. If any of you feels that you are worthy of this power, go get it yourself."

"You are welcome to the wooden house at any time." Xia Ye smiled.

The eyes of the little wood spirits narrowed into a curved slit, which was their happy expression.

"Oh, leave it to us. You can go with peace of mind, Xia Ye." Ah Ye assured, patting his chest.

Because he was going to Lake Menas, Xia Ye asked the three members of the Screaming Team to help him take care of the Sunset Forest.

"I can come back as soon as tomorrow. Is there anything I need to bring?"

The transportation in Galar is very convenient. Several major cities are connected by railways, making it easy to reach any area in Galar.

"Don't worry about us. You have helped Spike Town improve its reputation. We should help you. Besides, aren't we friends?" Tim waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, friends, don't worry about it so much." Nayu said with a smile.

"Then please."

"Oh, have a nice trip." The three said at the same time, waving their hands.

Xia Ye nodded, turned around and took Pa Dong Monkey towards Quanguan City. He planned to ride from Quanguan City all the way to the wilderness station, and search for Menas from the south bank of Menas Lake. He didn't know that it had passed by. Are you still in that lake for so long?

The train was speeding on the track, crossing the wilderness and arriving at the wilderness station. Xia Ye found that most of the passengers on his carriage were trainers, and they were all excited and eager to try with their Pokémon.

The wilderness area is a natural training ground for Galar trainers. Many trainers choose to come here to train their Pokémon. Occasionally, you can even catch the current gym owner here, which is enough to prove its gold content.

Now it is the beginning of the gym challenge activities. Trainers who have failed in the gym challenge are eager to avenge their shame after training.

Some trainers have different plans. They will start the gym challenge after training in the wilderness in order to be fully prepared.

From this point of view, it is normal for most of the passengers to be trainers. Xia Ye was regarded as a trainer by other passengers because he brought Pa Dong Monkey with him.

The train pulled into the station, and everyone showed embarrassed expressions as soon as they left the station. There was a layer of mist floating around. This kind of weather was obviously not suitable for training Pokémon.

The climate in the wilderness is changeable, and sometimes there are even blizzards.

"Humph, you don't know this clearly!"

Everyone looked at a young man who was pushing up his glasses. Xia Ye was also one of them. Could this guy be the legendary intelligence party?

"Rare Pokémon will appear in foggy days! For example, in Lake Menas, Menas will only appear in foggy days."

Xia Ye was very happy to hear what he said. It seemed that the timing was just right this time.
