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

Li Ran started to act as soon as it got light. Just kidding, who can sleep in such a dark place? Who knows if there will be insects or scorpions in the middle of the night? Just in case, he released two elves to guard him all night.

"let's go."

Li Ran didn't plan to take them back this time. He found a passage in the cave, but he was not sure if he could get out. If he encountered danger, the strength of the Geodude and its floating body could save him at the critical moment.

After turning on the light of the atlas, Li Ran walked in timidly. At the same time, he felt a chill that made him rub his arms. The road inside was not wide, only enough for two people to pass side by side, so he was very careful.

"where is this place?"

Li Ran walked for about half an hour, and the road was winding without exception. During this time, he did not find any exit. There were neither elves nor signs of human activities here, but now he could vaguely hear the sound of dripping water. Obviously, he fell here by accident.

Another half an hour passed, and Li Ran heard the sound of gurgling water. This surprised him. It hadn't rained outside for a long time, and there were very few green plants. Who would have thought that there was a flowing underground river under the mountain.

"It seems I have to find a fire-type Pokémon next time..."

Although the Pokémon Encyclopedia can serve as a light, the effect is too poor. Apart from being able to see the road less than a hand's length in front of you, it cannot provide warmth. Li Ran couldn't help but fantasize about choosing the next Pokémon.

"Is this Mama Fish?"

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the river. Li Ran bent down and looked. There were white fish only the length of fingers swimming in it. Upon closer inspection, there was a wavy yellow line on the side of the fish. As for the mouth, Li Ran could not see it because the fish swam very fast. However, in his memory, it seemed to be in the shape of a shuriken. When he looked at one of them at random, the information appeared.

Elf name: Mama Fish (male)

Strength level: Rookie level

Attribute: Electric

Skills: Impact (General), Electromagnetic Wave (General), Lightning (General), Charging Beam (General)

Characteristics: Floating (Floating from the ground, so that it will not be attacked by ground-type moves.)

"If fish can swim in, it means they can definitely get out from here."

Li Ran had no interest in catching it. Its information was already in the Pokémon Encyclopedia, and he didn't want to waste the Poké Ball if he didn't get the prize. He walked along the river, but there was no other fish except the Mama fish.

But Li Ran could also understand. He had already reached the source of the river. There was a fist-sized hole with water constantly flowing out. But from the light shining through there, he was sure that he could get out. He turned around and gave orders, then stood aside.

"Fistful of Rocks, break up this circle along the water flow."

"knock!"

The little fist understood quickly after Xiao Shui's suggestion, raised its powerful arms and hammered forward. Li Ran didn't have to worry about it getting hurt. After all, the little fist had a hobby, which was to often collide with its companions to see who was harder. This kind of rock that had been washed by water for many years had long become brittle. After a few loud bangs, the hole that was originally only the size of a stone had been expanded to a size large enough for Li Ran to drill out.

"Come back, Geodude. Suzuki is counting on you from now on."

Li Ran spoke softly as he put all his stuff into the backpack and zipped it up. Although he was able to get out, the water flow did not stop. Although he could swim, he had Xiao Shui by his side, who could guide him in case he could not swim anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ran went directly into the cave, followed closely by Xiao Shui. There was very little industrial activity in the Pokémon world, so there was almost no pollution. He could open his eyes in the water. There were many elves in the water, but fortunately, water-type elves were generally docile and would not actively attack.

Fortunately, they were less than three meters away from the river surface. Li Ran held Xiao Shui and swam away from the cave with strong suction. Li Ran swam to the surface of the water in one go, and then found a suitable place to go ashore.

"Come, Xiaoshui, I'll carry you up."

"Click!"

Feeling the baptism of the sun, Li Ran wrung out his wet clothes and hung them up directly, then looked around. The green plants on both sides of the river grew very densely, which was a completely different place from the rocky valley. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was still in the rocky valley.

There were many people basking in the sun with him on the shore, including the pink Slowpokes. At this moment, they closed their wise eyes and took a nap.

Li Ran remembered something and took out the Pokémon encyclopedia from his backpack. He had to admit that although Pokémon technology had not yet caught up completely, after going into the water like this for once, he didn't feel wet at all.

After opening the map, Li Ran found that he was still within the activity range of the Rocky Valley, and was in Area 07.

This place is on the edge of a rocky valley and is the only place where green plants still exist. But Li Ran is not happy. Although the altitude here is not high, there is only a cliff at the end of the woods. If he wants to go back, he must pass by the place where the giant rock snakes live, and those big guys will treat them as outsiders as invaders and expel them.

"It's not easy..."

Li Ran frowned. He came alone, so no one would notice him and come to rescue him. Moreover, based on his current location, let alone come to rescue, the rescue force would require at least three lord-level elves to accompany him. There was another possibility, that is, there would need to be a lord-level flying elf that could fly directly over the Onix Mountains.

With a background like his where he has no money and no relatives, the possibility of him being rescued is very low.

rustle.

Suddenly, the haystack behind him moved. Li Ran immediately became alert and spoke loudly. The dangers in the jungle are no joke. There might be an ambush by a snake spirit. If you are really bitten by its venomous fangs, you will be killed on the spot.

"Xiao Shui, get ready to fight!"

"Click..."

Xiao Shui jumped directly in front of him from the side and let out a heavy, low growl as a warning.

But after waiting for a long time, Li Ran still didn't see the elf in the bush come out. While he was nervous, he didn't notice a dark shadow sneaking up to the backpack hanging under his clothes.

"Oh my god! My belongings! Stop right there!"

Hearing the sound of his backpack being dragged, Li Ran subconsciously looked over and saw that his backpack was dragged into the forest. There was no difference between stealing someone's money and taking their life. Li Ran had long thrown away any fear and chased after him.
