I'm farming in the Pokémon world

Boom!

Ma Zhishi used up the healing potion in his hand and threw it aside. After hearing Jiang Yuan's reply, the wrinkles between his brows never disappeared.

"woo"

At the entrance of the cave, a nine-tailed fox walked in from outside, then walked straight to Jiang Yuan and explained to Jiang Yuan what he had just discovered.

Jiang Yuan and Ma Zhishi were still more than halfway to the next area's riverbed, and for some reason, the main road that led to the depths had been occupied by at least three Pokémon groups, and the Crossbat group just now was just one of them.

"Let's go first. I know a small path. There shouldn't be any Pokémon tribes guarding it."

The main road is no longer accessible, but the Hualan Cave is famous for its complex and diverse terrain. Jiang Yuan knows that there is more than one road leading to the next area, including the main road. Seeing that Ma Zhishi has recovered, Jiang Yuan stood up from the ground and prepared to set off.

At this moment, Ma Zhishi was still thinking about the last time Jiang Yuan asked him to retreat. He saw the big mouth bat flying out was holding three or two strangely shaped mushrooms in its hands.

Ma Zhishi was 100% sure that the mushroom was another thing he had to accomplish when entering the Hualan Cave this time, which was to collect the life mushroom, the material for making the Seven Medicines of Floating Life.

According to Jiang Yuan, the Life Mushrooms grow in the underground maze in the fourth area of ​​the Hualan Cave. Now that he had just entered the outskirts of the Hualan Cave, he saw the medicinal herbs he wanted to collect. How could Ma Zhishi restrain himself?

The situation inside the Cerulean Cave must have changed at this time. There are so many gym owner-level Pokémon living even in the outer area, which shows that there must be some danger inside. Who knows, the dangers behind may not allow me to spare the time to collect medicinal herbs.

"Jiang Yuan, you go to the river on the ground first. I'm going to go along the main road to look for the Zubat group we saw earlier. We'll meet at the seven cave entrances in the karst cave area."

When Ma Zhishi saw Jiang Yuan stand up, he made up his mind that since he had met him, he could not let him go. If he was alone, Ma Zhishi was sure that he could escape from the Zubat swarm unscathed.

Ma Zhishi didn't know whether Jiang Yuan had brought out the king-level tribe leader Arbok. Even if he really brought it out, that Pokémon was like a trump card. Ma Zhishi didn't think that Jiang Yuan would expose his trump card at this time, and to help him.

Although after spending so many days together, Ma Zhishi felt that he and Jiang Yuan had a good relationship, but from the very beginning Ma Zhishi had a purpose in making friends with Jiang Yuan. He knew it, and Jiang Yuan naturally knew it too, and the two of them maintained a tacit understanding.

"Going down the main road? What did you just see?"

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised after hearing what Ma Zhishi said. After all, there was a high probability that something would happen on the main road. Based on Jiang Yuan's understanding of Ma Zhishi, he was not the kind of unreasonable person. You know, the small road that Jiang Yuan chose could directly reach the river on the ground.

Ma Zhishi didn't know how to start the conversation with Jiang Yuan about his question, but when he thought about it, there was nothing he couldn't say. It wasn't something that would bring him any benefits. If he didn't really need the Life Mushroom, Ma Zhishi wouldn't have left the safe path and headed for the main road instead.

"I'll go with you then."

After knowing why Ma Zhishi wanted to rush to the main road, Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, turned his head and said to Ma Zhishi, at this time Jiang Yuan realized that he had two king-level Pokémon in his hands, why did he have to treat them as trump cards and not use them.

Watching Jiang Yuan throw out a red and white ball, Ma Zhishi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a six-meter-long Arbok suddenly appear at the entrance of the cave. The king-level pressure made Lada, who had just woken up, faint instantly.

I, Lada, am not going to die!

"just"

Chief Arbok turned his head and looked around at the dark, damp and unusually empty cave. In his perception, there were countless Pokémon gathered together just ahead of the road. Most of them were elite or even gym owner-level Pokémon, and there were even a few quasi-king-level Pokémon.

"Arbok, I'm sorry to bother you."

After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the tribe leader Arbok nodded after seeing Jiang Yuan coming out of the cave. Then came out Ma Zhishi and their respective Pokémon, such as Ninetales and Electabuzz.

There are only a handful of Elite-level Pokémon in the entire Cerulean Cave, and they all live in the deepest part of the Cerulean Cave, so it can be said that the tribe leader Arbok has no rivals in this outer area.

Back to the main road, if Jiang Yuan only had one king-level Gengar given to him by Grandpa Murakami, then Jiang Yuan would decisively choose to set off on the side road, because Jiang Yuan could not command that Gengar at all, it all depended on Gengar's mood. In this case, Jiang Yuan had to ensure his own safety first no matter what.

But it’s different with the presence of Chief Arbok. Although Chief Arbok is not Jiang Yuan’s Pokémon, as a Pokémon specially cultivated by the ancestors of the Jiang family, this Chief Arbok does not have any hostility towards Jiang Yuan, and is willing to obey Jiang Yuan’s command.

He had the combat power of a king in his hands but instead he had to run around to his death. Jiang Yuan wanted to hit himself hard for his reaction when he encountered the Zubat swarm just now. He didn't change his mentality at the first time and suffered so much in vain.

"Jiang Yuan, can I ask why?"

After Jiang Yuan released the tribe leader Arbok, Ma Zhishi fell into silence until he returned to the main road. Ma Zhishi did not expect that Jiang Yuan would send tribe leader Arbok to help him, because to be honest, it was he, Ma Zhishi, who asked Jiang Yuan for help.

Nine-Tailed Fox followed behind Jiang Yuan, while the tribe leader Arbok led the way in front of the two of them. The king-level pressure was released forward without reservation. For a moment, the cave was eerily quiet except for the footsteps of Jiang Yuan and his group.

"It's mutual. I'll need your help in the underground maze area later."

Without looking back at Ma Zhishi, Jiang Yuan had a good impression of him. As long as his strength allowed, Jiang Yuan didn't mind helping a future gym trainer. After all, the future Vermillion City would be an important seaport city in the entire Kanto region. Its waterways covered various regions, so it could go anywhere.
