Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Zhao Yiyuan is not unconsidered about the matters of family and offspring, but he is still very young and his strength is still steadily increasing, so he just needs to feed himself and the few people around him.

With the promise of sponsorship from the alliance, there is really no need for that money, so it is better to distribute it to win the hearts of the troops.

After initially integrating the legion in this way, he personally worked with his subordinates for more than a month, and finally issued the first major order since taking office - to attack Onix Basin!

This was the idea that came to my mind when the handover took place. After all, the matter of the mineral vein was urgent.

Even though he has the final say in Huyan City, this entire area is governed by a superstar-level commander. Strictly speaking, this area has long been a military province.

After more than a month of adjustment, and having sent many people to investigate the situation in the Onix Basin, we finally got some information.

There are indeed mines in the Onix Basin, and they are large veins large enough to be developed for more than ten years.

Some people may ask, why can large mineral veins only be developed for a dozen years?

One reason is naturally because of the extraordinary elves. With the help of ground and rock elves, coupled with technological means, the mining efficiency is far greater than before.

Didn’t you see that the two small mineral veins excavated by Jin Guoqing only took about two years to explore?

The second reason is because Onix need to eat!

The surveyed geomagnetic map shows that there is definitely a large spiritual mine under this basin. After all, the Onix clan would not stay in a remote place for no reason, if it weren't for food.

After all these years, the actual remaining amount is estimated to be at the level of a medium-sized vein, so it is estimated that it can only be mined for a little over ten years.

But for Zhao Yiyuan, ten years is a long time. He has only been a trainer for more than four years. Who knows what will happen next.

With the spiritual mines in the Rock Snake Basin, he can stay here and practice in peace.

Back to the topic, although the underground spiritual ore in Onix Basin is very attractive, it is indeed a tough nut to crack.

Among them, there are not three elite leaders as introduced by Captain Jin before, but four.

The strongest one among them has reached the middle elite level, the remaining two are at the beginning elite level, and one is at the beginning elite level, which means that it has the strength of only one or two elemental bursts in its body.

This is fine against enemies at a higher level, but if you are facing an elite, even if you can only burst elements six or seven times, you are definitely no match.

After all, without elemental bursts, one can only rely on the physique enhanced when one first becomes an elite, and which elite wouldn't have that?

Therefore, there is actually another level in the elite level called beginner. Trainers at this level of the alliance will not allow them to take on elite missions for fear of damage.

The same goes for the elves. After all, there is no bottleneck before the threshold of the low and middle stages. All you have to do is practice hard to accumulate elemental power. Although without sufficient resources, this accumulation will take a very, very long time.

This is also the reason why Rada and Godard can take advantage of the opportunity of transformation and use a large amount of resources to quickly improve their strength.

There are four elite monsters, all of which are huge. They alone are enough to daunt ordinary city legions.

Not to mention that they have more than a dozen mid- to high-level helpers under them. Unless all the Onix are controlled at once and forced to react, and they work together to cause a rockfall or an earthquake, it will definitely be a natural disaster that will affect the entire town.

When collecting information, Zhao Yiyuan discovered that before him, and even before Jin Guoqing, there was also a team leader who had set his sights on this giant rock snake.

Relying on the fact that his own Pokémon is water-type and with the help of his soldiers, he was able to temporarily suppress the Onixes at the beginning.

With the help of Gullwing's Rain and Swampert's water-based moves, the two elites were defeated at an extremely fast speed. Unfortunately, they were not fully controlled in the end.

At that time, there were only three Onix leaders. The remaining one let out a loud roar, and more than a dozen medium and high-level Onixes used falling rocks together, directly causing a landslide.

Not only did the operation fail, but a lot of soldiers were lost as well.

What’s even more infuriating is that after this, Onix, which had fled underground and was hiding, went straight to the city where the leader was stationed after his companions recovered.

The combined earthquake plunged half of the city into the underground abyss, and the apparent number of casualties was over 10,000.

This directly caused a city that should have developed better than Huyan City to be forced to start over.

The price is indeed heavy!

Therefore, when Zhao Yiyuan was about to attack the Onix Basin, the local middle-level military officers were immediately furious.

Although Captain Zhao increased the money, who would be willing to do it when they know it would mean suicide and ruin the future of the entire city!

This matter even caused the commander of Licheng, a city directly under the jurisdiction of Huyan City, to send an inquiry, saying bluntly that if the mineral vein problem cannot be solved in a short time, the tax period can be appropriately extended.

After all, it has only been two years since the previous incident.

That incident caused a sensation in the entire military region. Now the ruins of Fenglie City are still there, and the ground subsidence has not yet fully recovered!

There was no other way. Everyone was advising him to think it over carefully, so he had no choice but to show off his skills to others today.

"Captain, the envoy sent by the division commander has arrived in the city, and other local officers who do not support you are also waiting outside."

The person who pushed the door open was Senior Sister Ye Ting, who is now in charge of the city’s internal affairs, and can also be said to be his secretary.

Nowadays, during working hours, the name should naturally change.

"Okay, Secretary Ye, let's go out."

Nodding, putting away the file in his hand, Zhao Yiyuan followed Ye Ting out.

At a glance, I saw six middle-aged soldiers sitting upright on the chairs in the corridor. Their positions from top to bottom were battalion commander and company commander.

The two battalion commanders are from the first and second battalions, and the four company commanders are also their subordinates.

Although the students Zhao Yiyuan brought from the school all have great potential and their strength is apparently comparable to that of most company commanders.

But experience is indeed not something that can be gained in a short period of time, so of the three battalions under his command, only the weakest three battalions are directly controlled by his followers in the school.

However, there are also one or two company commanders and platoon leaders in the first and second battalions.

Although the local officers were somewhat dissatisfied with these, they had no choice but to accept it since those people had indeed won the competition.

Besides, Zhao Yiyuan also added a lot of subsidies to them, so the first and second battalions originally planned to cooperate well.

Unfortunately, the captain insisted on taking action against the Onix, wanting to put an end to it once and for all. As neighbors of Fenglie City, they witnessed the earthquake with their own eyes, so why would they dare to provoke the Onix? They had to step forward to dissuade him.

"Zhao Tuan, I, Lao Qin, will speak frankly.

Let's change our target. Even if it's Nidoking, we brothers dare to fight with you, but the risk of Onix is ​​too high!

The lesson of Fenglie City happened yesterday, we must not forget it!"

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Zhao Yiyuan coming out, the stubborn Battalion Commander Qin of the First Battalion immediately jumped out to persuade him.

Seeing him, Zhao Yiyuan felt a headache. This person was not from the Jin family faction, and he didn't get along well with other local officers. He was very straightforward and didn't show any humanity at all.

Naturally, they would not give face to him, the new team leader.

However, such people are sometimes really useful, so we still have to appease them.

"Captain Qin, the messenger from the division has been sent here. Can you guys watch it together? It's better to watch it first and then decide whether it's okay or not."

After saying this, he ignored Captain Qin who wanted to persuade him and led his men out again.

Soon, a female soldier was seen waiting outside the door.

She was wearing a well-fitting gray-green military uniform, which showed off her slim and graceful figure and delicate features, but she looked a little impatient.

When he saw Zhao Yiyuan and others coming out, he immediately took out a certificate and said:

"Everyone in Huyan City, I am Li Wei, the inspector sent by Commander Li. If there is nothing else, let's go to Yingyue Lake for the test."

This vigorous and decisive style of getting down to business as soon as meeting someone surprised several people, but when they heard the word "Li Wei", they reacted.

This is the adopted daughter of Master Li, which is why she has such an uncommon surname.

[It seems that Master Li is not optimistic about attacking the Onix tribe, otherwise why would he send his adopted daughter here. ]

Thinking of this, the people behind Zhao Yiyuan were delighted.

As we all know, Commander Li, who is in charge of the military region, has a compassionate heart. After he became the regiment commander, he began to adopt orphans who were displaced and lost their parents due to the war.

Therefore, these adopted sons and daughters hate officers who are incompetent and force civilians to suffer the most. Since Commander Li sent her here, naturally the assessment requirements were very high.

"Okay, leave the messenger and trouble us."

Thinking of settling the issue as soon as possible, Zhao Yiyuan did not like to drag on and released the military Pidgeot. After a polite word, he took a few people and flew to the only large lake in the surrounding area - Yingyue Lake.

It is actually a large piece of amber artificially created by the military region.

As mentioned before, there were originally water veins here, but unfortunately the Yuejian Mountain Range overlaps with reality, and the terrain with extraordinary power naturally and directly covers the ordinary water veins. This leads to the fact that there is no shortage of streams and underground waterways in Yuejian Mountain.

But outside there are only a few small rivers left!

As for the relocation of immigrants, the stationing of soldiers, and the reproduction of elves, which of these can be separated from boiling water?

Now that they couldn't take down the Moon Viewing Mountains, they could only dig the ground and build the river themselves. Fortunately, this was the elf world, and with the combined efforts of several Heavenly Kings and gym-level elves, they managed to build a complete waterway system covering the entire military region within a few months.

Yingyue Lake is one of the important nodes of several surrounding cities, and it can also be said to be a large reservoir.

"Compare~"

When you land at Yingyue Lake, you can see blue waves surging in the embankment.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

The lake water is clear. If you look closely, you can find many elves such as Woob, Magikarp, and Mosquito Repellent in it.

Although Wubo, which can purify water, is very precious to ordinary people, for an alliance, it is still a group of elves that can be moved wherever they are needed. It is not as precious as those of the three great families.

And since there is water energy in the water, whether it is a stream, a river or the sea, the water is blue.

This is also one of the ubiquitous influences of the elven world on the Blue Star.

As far as the eye can see, you can't even see the other side of Yingyue Lake. Although it is called a lake, the total amount of water in this lake is comparable to that of some large rivers.

"Let's get started. Let me tell you the rules. Captain Zhao, if you can't freeze the entire Yingyue Lake within three minutes and make the ice spread one foot... no, three feet, then you will fail the test and don't mention anything about attacking the Onix clan anymore.

You are gambling with the lives of tens of thousands of people in Huyan City!"

After getting off Pidgeot's back, Li Wei pointed to the lake with surging waves and said.

As part of the water vein, Yingyue Lake is naturally not stagnant water, but flowing lake water.

Her original requirement given by her teacher was five minutes and one foot of ice, but she changed it to three minutes and three feet of ice.

Although there were only two minutes left and with the help of the Legion, nothing would go wrong, but she didn't want to gamble with the civilians of Huyan City.

It would be better to let the new leader retreat early.

This requirement cannot be met by ordinary gym-level players!

She didn't believe anyone could reach the elite level.

The First Battalion, the Second Battalion and others were also delighted when they heard the request.

Some of those who knew ice-type moves started to plan in their minds.

"No way, three minutes of freezing!"

"My mosquito frog can create freezing wind. Under this flowing water, I'm afraid even freezing one-tenth of the lake surface won't be able to do it."

"This request is outrageous. I like it very much."

Zhao Yiyuan, who was standing by, frowned when he heard this request.

He inquired and found out that it was supposed to be five minutes, so how did it get reduced to three minutes? To be honest, it was a bit difficult.

"Ha~ Captain Zhao, if you can't do it, I'll consider my trip a waste and won't give you permission to explore.

It's getting late, can you please just say something? I can still get back to the city earlier."

After urging him a few times, the girl looked at Zhao Yiyuan with a smile.

"You better give it a try, Li Envoy."

I just communicated with the three little ones through telepathy and quickly decided on a plan. There is still a chance of success.

"Okay, let's get started."

"Come out, Rattata, Golduck, and Sandslash!"

Three Poké Balls were thrown into the air, and three red lines flashed by.

"Pull!"

"quack!"

"Kuga!"

Three elves appeared on the dam.

"Go, Golduck, Sandshoal, swim to the end and the center of the lake."

"quack!"

"Kuga."

After receiving the order, the two elves immediately jumped into the river with a splash.

This made Li Wei, who was verifying the strength, understand that Zhao Yiyuan was planning to connect the points together to increase the power of his moves.

But can Onix Basin allow you to find a hiding place as easily as the lake?

Thinking of this, she wanted to say something, but when she met Zhao Yiyuan's deep eyes, she said nothing.

Yes, she has already raised the assessment standards privately, and not just a little bit, so it should be okay to make up for some loopholes.

Even if the three points correspond and cause resonance of the moves, it is impossible to freeze the entire lake... right?

Golduck is the weakest, so it is placed in the middle, covering the smallest area. Sandslash and Rattata are placed at the head and tail.

"Snowstorm! Rise!"

Suddenly, three icy forces spread across the entire lake.

“Hoo~Hoo~”

The sound of howling wind and snow quickly sounded, and at the same time, the "crackling" sound of the ice spreading could be clearly heard centered on three points.
