Discovery of Nidoran

Looking at the third place marked on the map, it is the farthest place from Saffron City. It shows a lake on the map. There is a large forest around the lake. Nidoran♂ may live in the forest.

In Aoki's plan, he was going to investigate these two relatively close places first. If Nidoran can be found and captured successfully, then he can go back and forth to Goldenrod City on the same day and submit a mission to the Hunter Guild in Goldenrod City. Depart afterward.

But if Nidoran can't be found in the first two places, then the third farthest place will not have enough time to go back and forth in the same day, so if you want to find the third place, Aoki chooses to sleep in the wild, and then directly pass through several consecutive forests all the way to the north, arriving at Yuanzhu City.

Folded the map in his hand into the ring, and without hesitation set foot on the road to find the last location.

Anyway, when they were originally on Trial Island, Aoki and Murkrow were directly sleeping in the wild, and the environment on Trial Island was much worse than here, so there is no pressure now.

But for those trainers who have just traveled, or for trainers who have only traveled for a year or two, this kind of wild survival is their worst enemy.

There are countless young trainers who die every year because of sleeping in the wild, but more and more people follow.

They don't have to worry about falling in such a small place for the real genius or the direct line of talent that the League is concerned about. If they really fail unfortunately, it can only mean that this person's strength and talent have not yet reached the standard.

Therefore, the League regards this kind of travel as a big screening for junior trainers, and directly eliminates those wastes.

When you have the strength to become an intermediate trainer, it means that this person must have passed a certain test. Simple wild survival is no longer difficult for them, and these people are the backbone of the entire League, and they are also in possession of official status in the League, with a relatively large group, second only to the ocean of junior trainers.

As for the advanced trainer, it is not so easy to achieve, and simple wild survival is just commonplace.

Whether it is a League or each faction, the number of senior trainers is a benchmark for measuring the overall strength of a faction.

...

Another four hours passed, and Aoki, with Murkrow and Slowpoke in full blast, went down nonstop, and finally arrived at the lake marked on the map.

Because of the continuous deepening, the traces of human activities are almost invisible, and they have entered the paradise of the Pokémon.

The level of Pokémon is also constantly rising. When approaching the lake, the average level has reached level 20.

Looking at the huge lake in front of him that almost merged with the sky, Aoki couldn't help but be speechless.

The location mark given by the intelligence businessman is at the lake. The lake is not big on the map, but the area of the lake in front of it is really too big. It is estimated that it will take another two hours to turn around.

And the range of activities of the Pokémon will not only revolve around the lake, because there are too many Pokémon who come to drink water by the lake, and it is absolutely troublesome to live around, so most Pokémon are two or three kilometers away to find a place to live.

In this way, the search range has been expanded again, and if you are not lucky enough, you may even need to search for another day tomorrow.

"These damned intelligence merchants, in such a big Pokémon activity area, no matter what kind of Pokémon may appear!" Aoki couldn't help but curse in his heart.

In fact, he really guessed right. In every piece of information about the Pokémon trail sold by the intelligence businessman, almost all the information about this lake was marked in it. Anyway, the ecological circle here is huge, what if there is?

Moreover, the intelligence of the intelligence businessman is not necessarily accurate, it is just a blind search for himself,

Just a little more clue.

Today, Aoki went all the way from Goldenrod City to the first location, the hillside where the Ekans lived, and then to the second location marked on the map. In the end, there was no gain, and finally, he reached this lake.

Since the sun has not yet risen, and now it has been tilted to the west, Murkrow and Slowpoke are having a good time today.

It seemed that he couldn't find it today, but Aoki didn't insist on it. He found a beautiful place by the lake and prepared to set up camp.

The west-sloping sun blazed half of the sky, reflecting on the lake, rendering the entire lake like a burning picture.

Aoki took out a tent prepared in advance in Saffron City from the space ring, and with the help of Slowpoke's Telekinesis, it was quickly set up.

He made a simple stove with pebbles by the lake, then took out a kettle to make a pot of lake water, threw a few water-purifying pills, and set it on the stove to burn.

Although some pure water was prepared in Goldenrod City, since life in the wild will continue for some time, the pure water was reserved by Aoki for emergency use.

The water in this lake is very clear, and with the help of water purification pills, it is very safe, and the trace elements and minerals contained in the natural lake water are better than pure water.

Under the conditions, Aoki will still choose to boil the water and drink it. Although the Pokémon can drink it directly, as a human being, Aoki's resistance is not so strong. If it causes physical discomfort, there may be hidden dangers.

Mild cases are only physical weakness for a period of time, while severe cases may cause continuous vomiting, dizziness, and even shock.

After all, no one knows what bacteria are in the lake water, but after boiling it, 99% of the bacteria can be killed, and with the help of water purification pills in advance, there is basically no problem.

Set aside some of the boiling water to cool outside, and store the rest in the ring for later use.

While waiting for the water to boil, Aoki also asked Murkrow to catch today's dinner, and every time he came back, he would bring a few hares and pheasants with him.

Slowpoke also went to swim in the lake after a long absence. Occasionally, he encountered a few Horned Goldfish, Kingler, and Mosquito Coil Tadpole in the lake, and they were all in peace.

When he took time out, Slowpoke also used his mind to catch a few fish to add food for today.

But just as Aoki and the big milk jar were preparing to make dinner, Murkrow flew from afar, screaming "Caw," and the excitement did not need to be expressed.

Flying to Aoki, tossing up and down, expressing something.

The time for Aoki to conquer Murkrow is not short, and the tacit understanding with him can be said to be the best among all Pokémon.

Suddenly Aoki understood why Murkrow was excited.

"You mean, you saw Nidoran?" Aoki asked.

"Caw!" Murkrow nodded frantically.

He also knows what his Trainer has been looking for today, but he is not very lucky and has not encountered it all day. Originally, he just wanted to catch a few games to satisfy his appetite, but he was lucky enough to encounter the sprite.
