I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Go home with a full load!"

Li Ran picked up the Poké Ball on the ground and asked Xiaoshui to rinse it with a water gun, then directly replaced one of the Poké Balls in his Poké Belt. He glanced at the sky covered with dark clouds and felt depressed, thinking that it was going to rain heavily.

After getting on the bus, Li Ran deliberately chose a seat with a window in the back row. He hadn't taken a shower for three days and was forced to jump into a lake once during the journey. How could his body smell be so good? He himself could dislike it, let alone other passengers.

When he got home, he couldn't wait to run to the bathroom and take a thorough shower. Seeing Xiao Shui and the big-jawed ant training Mushroom, Li Ran also gave them a look like an elder.

Well! Not bad, you have grown up.

"It's too late today. Let's go to the institute tomorrow."

Li Ran looked at the time, then lay down on his little bed and had a good sleep. It was hard to imagine that he missed such a hard bed during the few days he was away.

The next morning, Li Ran rushed to deliver all the Pokémon that were not in the illustrated guide to the research institute before it opened. While receiving the reward, Li Ran also took a look at the current status of Geodude.

During this period, Geodude ate well and slept well in the research institute. After all, there was only one Geodude sent by Li Ran in the entire research institute. Others got the method of catching Geodude and the possibility of two stages of evolution of Geodude, so they were reluctant to send Geodude here. Moreover, it was easy to raise, so many people chose it as the main team.

Seeing Geodude again, Li Ran was a little dazed. This guy had evolved into Rhydon without anyone noticing, and its size had grown three times larger. Moreover, its originally smooth surface had become more bumpy, and its hardness had also increased a lot.

Maybe because two hands are not enough, it actually grew an extra pair of hands. The only drawback is that Geodude's original floating state is gone, and it has a pair of very short feet.

Its strength was suddenly improved to the top five in the institute, which greatly increased the safety of the institute. Seeing that Longlongshi was comfortable there, Dr. Asakusa didn't want to let it leave, so Li Ran decided to let it stay in the institute.

"The third possible evolution you mentioned last time has already been confirmed by someone else. I don't know how you discovered it."

Dr. Asakusa looked at him strangely, puzzled. It was clear that Li Ran, apart from being good-looking, did not look like a smart person.

"This time, besides those elves, I found something else. I took this photo. Do you think it can be used?"

Li Ran refused to answer and took out the photo of the stone tablet in the atlas. After Dr. Asakusa took it, his originally handsome brows were furrowed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Ran became strange.

"You mean there is such a stone tablet in the forbidden forest?"

Combining the locations where Li Ran captured the elves, she easily thought of the location of the stone tablet.

"Well, I found this stone tablet by accident. Do you think it can be of any use to you?"

Li Ran nodded and answered calmly, which reduced Dr. Asakusa's original intention of calling the police. Judging from Li Ran's information, he was not a tomb robber.

"It's useful, but our institute's focus is on the elves. I can help you contact the people at the Archaeological Institute for this thing."

"Sure, but I have a request. Please don't affect the elves living over there while you're doing the research."

Li Ran's words made Dr. Asakusa look at him with a higher opinion. The people who were dedicated to the research all had a set rule in stone, which was to proceed on the principle of not harming the elves. After all, only peace could achieve coexistence.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Li Ran deliberately revealed the information entirely because of Suicune. With the protection of official personnel, he felt more at ease.

"You didn't even mention the money. It seems I misunderstood you in the past."

Dr. Asakusa looked at his sincere expression and said apologetically.

"Of course, if you can help me mention the bonus, I will respect you more. After all, you researchers are the most principled."

Asakusa patted her forehead in distress. "I was too talkative. This guy hasn't changed at all!" She waved her hand to leave and didn't want to talk to Li Ran anymore.

"I'll give you a hint, but I don't know how many."

"Thank you, Dr. Asakusa!"

......

Looking at the illustrated book and seeing that another 20 Elf Coins had arrived in his account, Li Ran's mood suddenly became wonderful, and he even carried flowers with him when he walked.

Excluding the Pokémon sent to the research institute, Li Ran's current team includes six Pokémon: Water Leap, Jaw Ant, Mushroom, Sunseed, and Lotus Leaf Boy. Two of them require special energy stones to evolve, so Li Ran doesn't want to expose their evolution methods for the time being. Moreover, the latter three are also very common in the hands of trainers, so the research institute will not accept them.

Moreover, he had promised Hong Pang to evolve an Eevee. The announcement would have to wait until the Eevee in his and Hong Pang's hands evolved, or until some lucky guy discovered an energy stone mine and sold it in large quantities.

Although this is some lame behavior, it is also human nature. Otherwise, the next energy stone will be auctioned at a sky-high price, and who can afford it?

Returning to his small apartment, Li Ran saw the conspicuous and luxurious car. Many passers-by were attracted by it. The trainers who raised Meowth fled in panic because the Meowth they raised wanted to get close to the luxury car. It is said that Meowth was originally a Pokémon that only the royal family raised, so it yearned for a luxurious and flashy life.

"Xiao Ranzi!"

Hong Pang suddenly stood beside the luxury car and waved at him. His attention immediately shifted to Li Ran. Li Ran walked over with a fake smile and slapped Hong Pang on the thick back. Although he wanted to lose weight, there would not be any significant changes in less than a week.

"I said, could you please not bring that thing? It sounds like I'm the same as your follower."

Uncle Li did not react too much to Li Ran's behavior. After all, Li Ran was his young master's best friend, so this little interaction was nothing.

"Where have you been these days? You weren't there when I looked for you!"

Hong Pang smiled innocently, and then there was some worry in his tone. After all, he knew about Li Ran's situation, where he could disappear for a long time alone and no one would notice.

"I went to the suburbs and I'm not back."

Li Ran explained but did not completely say that he had entered a prohibited area. He had already returned anyway, and there was no need to make people worry about him for no reason. Besides, there was always something strange about the tone of Hong Pang's speech.

"What do you want from me?"

"My dad told me that the matter of Ibrahimovic has been settled, and asked you to pick one."

"So fast?"

"That's right, my dad bought the entire Ibrahimovic Ranch."

Seeing Hong Pang's upturned nose, Li Ran felt his palms itchy. Why did his words sound so annoying? But looking at Uncle Li beside him, he held back. After all, he got an Ibrahimovic for free.
