I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

【Star Sand】?

That's not a collectible item in the game that can be sold for a high price...

etc.

There seems to be a second type of [Star Sand] in the Pokémon series?

Li Xiang looked at these brilliantly radiant stars sinking into his and Lucario's bodies, and lowered his head in thought.

Remember that the second type of star sand is a prop in "Pokémon GO", which can be used to strengthen the level of Pokémon, unlock Pokémon's moves, exchange Pokémon, etc. It even has the ability to purify Shadow Pokémon.

If you say so.

Didn’t the dog get upgraded?

He looked at Lucario in shock, but then he thought, the star sand also fell into his body, and there was corresponding feedback.

He can't be upgraded too.

Be reasonable.

The stars and sand falling on him really have a pleasant rising feeling.

I always feel that something about myself has been improved.

mental strength?

If the rise is really like this, when the stars and sand gradually accumulate, maybe you will be able to master super powers or the power of waveguides.

After all, superpowers are considered to be innate because humans' mental strength is different from that of Pokémon, and they are of a type that is limited to death and cannot grow. Or only extremely special people can break this restriction.

If he had one of these two powers, he wouldn't have to worry about his own safety, and it wouldn't even be impossible to say goodbye to the protective suit.

—Ask Zekrom.

Questions about the dream world can only be asked to this guy, and combined with what he knows, he should be able to find the answer.

Well, it’s decided!

Go out in a while, and I'm sure to give this guy a hard time for beating him with a stick and then farting.

Li Xiang could almost think of Heilong's "You didn't ask", which he said. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, he just felt that he was embarrassed.

correct.

"Do you feel anything?"

He turned his head and asked Lucario next to him.

Since it is a special improvement that he can clearly feel——

"Ouch?"

Lucario tilted his head, not knowing what he was talking about. His eyes swept over the stars and sand falling on his body. There was only curiosity on his face, not the joy of increased power.

No.

Have a little feeling.

The dog's two erect ears moved slightly. The trainer couldn't tell it, but it couldn't feel it. The waveguide had grown a little, and so had its attribute energy!

…but really just a little bit.

"Ouch."

"Very few. Let's go out and ask Zekrom later."

Li Xiang nodded and planned to go with Lucario to find the edge of this forest floating island.

But as he finished speaking, his vision suddenly became blurry.

In a blink of an eye.

The dense forest and the walking grass laughing and dancing around disappeared, replaced by the familiar giant dragon.

"Yo! Came back quite quickly! The efficiency is quite high! 』

Zekrom looked at the boy and his Pokémon in front of him in surprise, "What did you encounter?" 』

"I found a lost child, but more than that, I have some questions here that I hope you can answer."

Li wanted to put the fruit on hand aside.

"I know everything I know and can tell you everything." 』

Zekrom squinted his eyes and moved his paws, lying on his side habitually, as if he was asking no questions.

then.

He asked questions about [Sound], [Quest] and [Star Sand] in order.

"Well...even though I knew you would come and ask sooner or later, it's still beyond my expectation to grasp so many important points at once." 』

Zekrom held up the left side of his face, recalling the person he was before. It took him several days to figure out these things.

"First of all, you have to understand that the Dream Island is connected to all the floating islands, and the Dream Tree has its own will. Of course it is different from the personal will you think of. 』

Black Dragon gave an answer that confirmed Li Xiang's guess, "It is more inclined to... a kind of collection?" Well, the combination of all Pokémon's consciousness in dreams. 』

"What you heard in the forest may be the result of the influence of the walking grass, which was directly transmitted to your heart through the dream tree. The so-called tasks are mostly the demands of walking grass. 』

"That star sand..."

"Reward, reward, if you ask for it, you have to give it." 』

Zekrom showed a strange smile, as if he was implying something.

Li Xiang turned his head and pretended not to hear. At this stage, he really had no way to repay the black dragon. "What is the effect of this thing, or why is the reward going to be stars and sand?"

"I'm not very sure about this. Maybe it means that the stars represent dreams and unreality?" If it works, I believe you should feel it, and you will see some growth in your spiritual body. 』

It poked its chest with its claws again, "Does it feel better?" 』

It does hurt more...

"Another effect, an increase in attribute energy? I haven't experienced it myself, so I can't be 100% sure. It's up to you to verify it yourself. 』

Zekrom's eyes flickered to Lucario.

Energy level represents the total amount of attribute energy, and vice versa. The more attribute energy, the higher the level. This is completely applicable to ordinary elves.

The reason why we talk about ordinary elves is because many legendary elves can output huge amounts of energy that are completely inconsistent with their level. Due to the lack of relevant information, people have speculated whether the legendary Pokémon has some energy storage organ that cannot be sensed by level testers.

Or maybe.

Legend has it that Pokémon can extract energy from an unknown place and use it on themselves, which makes their strength beyond ordinary people's expectations.

Lucario naturally cannot be compared with these special beings, so the increase in the energy level in his body can be directly reflected in the level.

There is such a good thing!

An unexpected surprise.

He and Lucario looked at each other, both showing excited expressions.

At this stage, what affects the Gouzi's strength is not their training level - this thing has candies to make up for it, and what they lack is mainly attribute energy.

A skillful woman cannot make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful the output is without energy assistance, it is just an ordinary "physical attack". Although it still has a certain amount of power, it won't be particularly powerful.

With the existence of [Star Sand], it can once again make up for the shortcomings in Li Xiang's growth.

But whatever is missing will be there. Will it feel like an imperial decree?

All right.

It’s not just once or twice, and I obviously wanted to have fun and relax in my sleep, but now it seems I can’t have fun anymore.

Li Xiang shook his head.

"Ah, right!" I have something to tell you. 』

Zekrom suddenly disrupted his thoughts, "These teleporters don't disappear and then reappear like light spots. Normally, one click is missing." 』

Eh?

"No way. Is there no way to add it?"

Li Xiang asked eagerly. Although he had lost the leisure plan in his dream, since he had made plans to use scenery to connect the elves' growth, it would be a pain to use one less thing.

"Yes, of course there is. The dream world is a place of dreams, and all wishes can be fulfilled because it is essentially illusory. 』

The black dragon pointed at the dream tree, "The simplest way is to provide sacrifices that satisfy it, such as tree fruits, and a new teleportation scene can be created." Or you can find a floating island that meets the conditions yourself. 』

ah.

After all, do we still have to farm?

He raised his eyelids. The best way to harvest tree fruits, other than going to other floating islands to steal those grown by other Pokémon, was to grow them yourself.

"How many trees can produce one fruit?"

"I don't know much about this. You can think of ways to stock up on your own. 』

Black Dragon straightened up, "So, are you going to clear these teleporters next?" Then I suggest you start with something easy. Finding someone may be the easiest task. 』

A nasty smile appeared on its face, as if it was waiting for someone to make a fool of itself.

"Um……"

Li Xiang nodded thoughtfully.

He decided to take the pomelo fruit he got and return it to the gopher instead of using it to add teammates.

Again.

If possible, he still hoped to get the seeds of the tree fruits from the gophers, which would be more reliable than planting the fruits.

"Go find the gopher and return the fruit."

Li Xiang said to Lucario.

…

Gopher Island.

To be precise, Gopher and Hinata Tanejima.

As one of the most diligent Pokémon, today's gophers are still hard at work turning over the land, removing wildly growing weeds, and trimming the branches and leaves of various crops.

Do you actually have gardening skills?

"Dog."

Li Xiang did not approach rashly, but turned to look at Lucario.

He was worried about scaring these guys away like last time.

"Ouch!"

Lucario responded softly and walked towards the gopher and Sunseed with the pomelo fruit in hand.

Last time I came.

The movements of Gopher and Sunseed were more like instinctive activities in sleep, so that when he approached rashly, he disturbed Gopher and Sunseed who were immersed in their own world.

The latter two were, of course, alarmed.

I hope this time——

Um?

"Tick tock, tick tock."

A small voice sounded from my ears.

Li Xiang turned his head and saw a small and exquisite gopher appearing at his feet.

at the same time.

A hazy filter appeared in front of my eyes, and a misty voice sounded in my ears and deep in my heart.

[Help the gopher. 】

[The sweet fruits of hard work have been stolen and plundered. 】

[Catch the thieves and robbers hiding nearby and teach them a lesson. 】

……Forehead.

"You're not talking about me, are you? And is there a mission here?"

Li Xiang pointed to himself awkwardly.

"Tick."

The gopher glanced at him, then looked at Lucario who was returning the fruit, without much expression on his blank face.

It seems that he is not specifically referring to him, or that he has been forgiven.

far away.

Lucario seemed to have discovered that the mission had been triggered. After returning the fruit, he turned around and trotted back.

"Ouch?"

"Look for it. This floating island isn't big anyway. They say they are hiding nearby."

Li wanted to glance at the only forest on the island.

Consider that the opponent is unknown.

The two did not enter it, but Lucario activated the power of the waveguide to explore the situation inside.

Lean less.

"Ouch."

Gouzi retracted the waveguide and shook his head slowly, indicating that he found nothing.

In this case, either the other party has the ability to shield the waveguide detection, or it is really not in the woods. It's okay to say the latter, if the thieves are the former, they probably have strength far beyond Lucario.

Li Xiang hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that Zekrom said before that there would be no danger of life in the dream world... I guess he didn't shake him a little, right?

The unreliable black dragon would never lie nonsense on such a crucial matter.

In this case.

It's probably okay for him to stick his face into the grass.

"Let's go over and have a look."

He waved to Lucario and went deep into the woods with him.

Fortunately.

The two still haven't found any trace of them, and there is a high probability that they don't have that strength.

"Isn't there in the woods? In the sky? Underground? You can't say there are adjacent islands nearby, right?"

He scratched his head in confusion. If there was a small island nearby, the area would be very large. It could even be said that he might not be able to find it even if he woke up.

It seems...

Only maybe underground?

"Look for burrows that don't fit the gopher's size. Under normal circumstances, even if you dig the burrow, there will be traces left."

He whispered to Lucario.

You wouldn't know it if you didn't look for it, but when you look for it, you actually find a big hole under a haystack.

Judging from the scale, drilling two and three gophers is more than enough.

Gouzi stared at the big hole with a look of disgust on his face. The hole under the grass was much worse than the darkness under the lamp, and its current waveguide did not have the ability to see through.

but.

Now you can't hide!

Lucario's eyes flashed, and the waveguide followed the hole like a snake, and soon found...a rice spoon snake?

"Ah, this is the eternal villain."

Li Xiang twitched his lips. Pokémon with a ferocious appearance were often portrayed as villains. He felt that this was an act of discrimination.

Suddenly.

The ground began to tremble.

A jet-black snake with huge red teeth emerged from the ground, its golden scales glowing in the sunlight.

Seeing Li Xiang and Lucario, it rushed towards the former without saying a word, as if a persimmon was pinched from the soft side, its blade-like tail lit up with purple light.

"Wild."

Li Xiang saw through its attack sequence that it was a wild Pokémon.

If it is a trainer's Pokémon, the first target will always be the enemy's Pokémon unless specifically ordered.

There is a fundamental difference between it and the wild Pokémon that are picky and picky.

Pity.

He stood there, watching calmly as Lucario punched the Snake away, then grabbed the opponent's tail, not afraid of the poison on it, and swung it from side to side like a whip and whipped it wildly.

finally.

The rice spoon snakes dispersed like fireworks.

"I guess I'm awake. This nightmare must be very profound."

Li wanted to lament the poor big snake, but then he thought, the mission was about robbers and thieves.

If he is a thief, then the snake is a robber?

etc.

The thief may not be pointing at him, maybe there is another——

In an instant.

Lucario's figure passed by his ears like a strong wind, and a thin scream came from behind.

He turned his head and suddenly saw a large orange-winged moth with light and shadow flowing on its body - [Gentleman Moth].

"Protective gentleman moth? Were you hiding in the sky before?"

Li Xiang looked at the gentleman moth in surprise. Judging from the fact that the opponent was beaten unilaterally by Lucario, his strength was not very high.

In this case.

The only possibility is to hide in the sky. After all, there was no investigation in the sky just now.

Bang!

The gentleman moth turns into a beautiful firework.

far away.

The movements of Gopher and Sunseed suddenly became much more cheerful, as if a great revenge had been avenged.

The light flew up from them, and after escaping into the void, it turned into bright gravel and fell on Li Xiang and Lucario.

The mission is over.

"Is this considered low difficulty or high difficulty?"

He was thinking to himself, and suddenly he felt something poked at his feet. When he looked sideways, he found that it was a small bundle rolled up with leaves.

There were some dirty looking seeds stuffed inside.

The one who sent this over was the gopher just now.

"Tick!"

The gopher glanced at Lucario, then pushed the seed towards him.

Something to be thankful for...?

"Thanks."

Li Xiang smiled at it and touched the furry "bald head".
