Pokémon Origins

Chapter 94: Shocking Everyone Zi Xiaomu

"Come here, my little monkey~" Zi Mu looked at the fragrant monkey in the trainer, slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on the glass plate.

Ordinary elf appraisers have different identification methods. The most common one is to make contact with the telekinesis through physical contact.

"Smell~" It seemed that this was not the first time that the incense monkey had been identified. After seeing Zi Mu's actions, he quickly understood what Zi Mu meant and put his hand on the glass plate.

"Brush~"

After Zi Mu's palm and Baoxianghou's hand were placed on the glass plate, the contact point disappeared instantly and the two hands were tightly pressed together.

"fragrant!"

After the Explosive Monkey came into contact with Zi Mu, it did not move abnormally, but closed its eyes very obediently. A wave of elven energy unique to it was transmitted into Zi Mu's palm like ripples.

"Oh?" To be precise, it was Zi Mu's first time to communicate with the elves through telepathy and he had no experience in this area.

After being stunned for a moment, Zi Mu felt the energy fluctuations of the Exploding Fragrance Monkey entering his body. It was very gentle, with just a slight warmth.

"Xiang? (Training...home? Why don't you communicate...sense...with me?)"

Seeing Zi Mu's indifferent look, Explosive Monkey had some doubts and sent a telekinesis to Zi Mu.

The telekinesis is only used to convey one's own meaning and cannot be used for identification.

The thoughts sent by the Exploding Incense Monkey were not clear. This was not due to the dream energy, but because it could not express itself clearly. At the current level of the Exploding Incense Monkey, it was far from being as clear as a machine or Benjiras.

"Hmm..." After hearing what the fragrant monkey said, Zi Mu touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Well... This is my first time doing an appraisal, I don't know how to do it..."

"Xiang! (So... that's how... you release... the spirits... affinity... communicate... with me...)"

"Hmm..." After hearing what the Explosive Monkey said, Zi Mu seemed to understand, and slowly released his elf affinity from his body, slowly connecting with the energy fluctuations of the Explosive Monkey.

The two energies slowly converged in Zi Mu's body. When they came into contact, they merged together tacitly, forming a "small vortex" similar to the Bagua pattern.

"And then?" Zi Mu sensed the new energy ball generated in his body and raised his head to look at the Explosive Monkey.

He knew nothing about identifying spirits, and had no teacher to teach him, but he was able to discover spirits on his own.

"Xiang? (How...do you...feel...?)"

After hearing Zi Mu's question, Explosive Monkey seemed a little confused and asked back.

"Hmm... a little hot, but it's okay." Zi Mu carefully sensed the situation inside his body and said truthfully, "It's just like drinking hot water, quite comfortable."

"Smells good! (Um... I... don't know...)" The fragrant monkey looked up at Zi Mu, also with a confused look on his face, "Smells good... (Before... it was just like this...)"

"Huh? That's it?"

Zi Mu was stunned. If that was the case, then everyone could be an appraiser, right?

Everyone has affinity for elves. If one can identify the elf's qualifications through simple fusion, then one can identify it without even using dream energy.

Judging from the current situation, without the help of dream energy, I may not have any talent as an appraiser at all?

"Fragrant! (Maybe... you haven't identified... many... you can try... other... elves... the original... elf affinity... you brought... to me... is very strong...)"

Zi Mu touched his chin, looked at the confused Monkey, and decided not to struggle anymore, so he withdrew his hand.

This Explosive Monkey has probably never been identified before, and the trainer who identified him before may not have been able to identify him correctly. Asking him now will probably be useless, so you might as well figure it out on your own.

Anyway, with the cheating device called Dream Energy, there should be no problem for me, a mid-level appraiser, to pass the test.

"Original Elf Affinity... should be my initial Elf Affinity, right?"

After taking one last look at the Explosive Monkey, Zi Mu turned around and slowly walked towards the next Pokémon.

"Next..." Zi Mu walked to the ghost training device closest to him, looked at the Piaopiao ball in the training device, pondered for a moment, and said, "Little Piaopiao, I'll come find you later~"

After saying that, Zi Mu took another step and walked towards a training device that was farther away from him.

"It's you!" Zi Mu stopped, raised his head, and smiled slightly, "Hello, Big Claw Crab."

The giant crab looked at Zi Mu who was walking towards it, didn't say much, waved its claws, and then placed the claws on the glass plate.

After reading it, Zi Mu curled the corners of his mouth, put his hand against the glass plate, and placed it on the claws of the giant crab.

"brush!"

The glass plate disappeared again, and Zi Mu's palm was firmly pressed against the claws of the giant crab.

"clamp!"

The giant crab closed its eyes, spit out two bubbles from its mouth, and emitted its own spiritual energy from its body.

"Hmm... As expected..." Carefully feeling the fusion of the two energies in his body, Zi Mu opened his eyes again after a moment and murmured, "The energy feedback this time is much stronger, and even the vortex is much larger."

This is why Zimu chose to communicate with the big crab first. In the data fed back by the dream energy just now, the big crab has the highest aptitude, probably at the level of B. When communicating with the big crab through energy perception, the energy vortex in the body is much stronger than that brought by the Explosive Monkey, and his perception of the water element is also much more real...

If viewed from other people's perspective, when identifying the giant crab, Zi Mu's body was showing faint fluctuations of water elements, and the whole person seemed to be covered with a light gray-blue film.

......

monitoring room

Principal Gu looked at Zi Mu who was in the blue film, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

"Principal Gu, this child... has a strong innate sense of spirits!" Pony, who was standing next to Principal Gu, saw this and said, "I am also an all-attribute appraiser. Although I am only a beginner, I am proud of it..."

Xiao Ma looked at Zi Mu running around in the testing room, and couldn't help but sigh, and continued, "Compared to him, my proud specialty... Alas..."

"Don't even mention you. It takes me, a mid-level appraiser, at least 10 minutes to appraise a B-level elf!" Next to Xiao Ma, an old man wearing special Alliance clothing looked at Zi Mu on the surveillance camera and said, "And the feeling... is definitely not as light as he makes it."

"Indeed... it's reasonable that the appraisal fee is so high." After hearing what the old man said, Xiao Ma seemed to recall something and said helplessly, "But why do I feel that he... seems to enjoy it?"

"Maybe he's just pretending... I don't think anyone would like this feeling." The old man from the alliance glanced at Xiao Ma and spoke lightly.

"But his spirit perception and initial spirit affinity should not be low..."

Hearing this, Principal Gu glanced at the old man with narrowed eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "None of the students in our school are ordinary people."

"Haha, naturally..."

After hearing what Principal Gu said, the old man looked up, met his gaze, and smiled awkwardly.

......

At the same time, the testing room

Zi Mu naturally couldn't hear the conversation of the crowd. Even if he did, he would probably be confused. He didn't even know what elf perception was. He was just relying on instinct to communicate with energy.

"Hehe... I didn't expect that my physique is quite special..."

Zi Mu withdrew his hand, looked at the giant crab, and laughed.

Although I don't know why I can sense the existence of spirit energy, one thing is certain, that is, ordinary people definitely don't have this ability! Even if they do, they definitely can't do it as easily as I do...

"Anyway, being able to pass this level of the test without relying entirely on cheats is a good achievement." Zi Mu thought for a moment and murmured, "Or... this is also the reason why that big brother transformed my body..."

Shaking his head, Zi Mu stopped thinking about these things. No matter where the ability came from, as long as he could use it, it would be his!

This made Zi Mu think of a famous line from his previous life's novel: So what if it's borrowed power? As long as you can do something, it's your own ability!

"Pliers! (You...are different...from other...trainers...)"

Looking at the trainer in front of him, the seemingly cold-hearted Crab suddenly uttered these words, which reached the ears of Zi Mu who was leaving.

"Hehe~" Zi Mu stopped, turned his head, smiled brightly, raised his thumb, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, you are not bad, big crab."

B-level giant crabs are extremely rare in the wild. If Zi Mu had not followed the Qianji Sect's practice method, he would have really wanted to take this giant crab away.

The Qianji Sect's training method is not about quantity, but about quality. Zi Mu will definitely consider carefully the main elves in the first echelon and will not capture them casually.

Of course, once the first echelon has almost formed momentum, the inclusion conditions for the second echelon and even the countless echelons can be relaxed.

"Oh my, this identification took two minutes. I have to run away quickly." Zi Mu looked at the time, turned around, and walked quickly to the next machine.

According to Zi Mu's timing, it only took 1 minute to identify the C-qualified Explosive Monkey, but it took exactly twice as long to identify the B-qualified Giant Claw Crab!

This also shows that the stronger the elves are, the more time and energy they will need to identify. In Zimu's opinion, this should also be related to the strength of the appraiser. I just don't know whether I am fast or slow...

Ahem! If I use fantasy energy, I'm afraid one per second is not an exaggeration.

"On average... it will take about half an hour." Zi Mu looked at his watch, recalled the average qualifications of the 18 elves in his mind, did a brief calculation, and murmured, "Half an hour should not be an exaggeration... I am relying on my "real talent" to evaluate, I can't be caught cheating!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zimu stopped in front of a training device again. This time, he was no longer an ignorant kid. He confidently stretched out his hand and placed it on the glass plate...

Within half an hour, Zi Mu ran around in the testing room, his body covered with elemental energies of different colors and degrees, and he finally completed the identification of all the elves.

"Wow~" Zi Mu stretched and looked at his watch. "Appraisal is a simple job. Why are there so few appraisers?"

From the time he started testing the Explosive Fragrance Monkey to the final test of the Ghost Shadow Doll, it only took 40 minutes including the time spent walking.

Looking up at the countdown for the test, there are still 142 minutes left before the test ends...

"Hello, hello!" Zi Mu retracted his gaze, scanned the surroundings, and shouted, "Can we end the test? I have found the elves with the highest and lowest qualifications!"

The elf with the highest qualifications is the giant crab, and the lowest elf is a D-level thunder beast.

"Please trainers fill in the Pokémon with the highest and lowest qualifications first in the next level. If you fill in the wrong ones, you will fail the fourth level directly."

"The fourth level is connected to the third level. The results of the third level will be announced after the fourth level is completed."

"Next, please trainer to complete the fourth level."

As soon as he finished speaking, a step rose from under Zi Mu's feet. On the step was a table, and on the table were eighteen blank discs!

"Hey! It's a piece of cake..." Looking at the blank disc, Zi Mu touched his chin, put his hand on the disc, and released the elf perception that he had just learned to use from his body.

As Zi Mu's energy was input, the disc gradually formed lines of data under Zi Mu's control.

"Big Claw Crab (encountered/not caught)

monitoring room

"You finished the appraisal of 141 elves so quickly? This guy..." Xiao Ma looked at the countdown in the examination room that was paused at minutes, and opened his mouth wide. It took him a long time to recover. He looked at the old man and asked, "What is the record of your appraiser department?"

"Hmm..." The old man was also in shock, and spoke after a long while, "It seems... more than 60 minutes... The record at the Alliance Headquarters is only 120 minutes! And that was the record left by Champion Ji many years ago!"
