Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

After saying goodbye to Fusha, Xia Ye boarded the train home. Early the next morning, he returned to the familiar Sunset Forest.

"Good morning, Xia Ye, you're back so soon." Aye was standing in front of the wooden house to stretch his muscles. When he saw Xia Ye coming back, he greeted him.

"Good morning, where are Tim and Nayu?" Xia Ye asked.

"I asked them to go home and sleep. Originally, we planned to take turns guarding the three of them. If you come back now, it won't be necessary." Ah Ye explained, and then he remembered something important.

"By the way, Xia Ye, Ma Li-chan is going to challenge the Jiqing Gym. We are going to cheer for you. Do you want to go with us?"

"As much as I want to go, I still have a job as a ranger."

"It doesn't matter, I will find a helper for you, absolutely no problem." Ah Ye flashed a smile and gave a thumbs up, reassuring Xia Ye, "We must let those people from big cities see the momentum of our cheering team. ah!"

Under A Ye's persuasion, Xia Ye agreed. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked not to tell Ma Li that this was a surprise for her.

"So does this count as fishing while working as a ranger?" Xia Ye shook his head. Now it's better to go see what's going on in the new lake and find a suitable environment for Menas to live in.

The clear lake was like a bright mirror. Xia Ye was surprised to find that there were several carp kings swimming leisurely on the lake.

"It's impossible for King Carp to appear here out of thin air. Well, did he come here along the underground veins?"

"Donghou?" Pa Dong Monkey made a questioning sound.

"Pokémon also live in underground veins. Although large fish Pokémon cannot survive, the tenacious and petite Magikarp can do it," Xia Ye explained.

Wait, have you known this kind of knowledge before? Could it be because a lake was added to Sunset Forest, so you also gained corresponding knowledge?

Pa Dong Monkey nodded in understanding, and Xia Ye took out Menas's elf ball.

"There is no problem where Menas lives, come out."

Rather than keeping Pokémon in Pokémon balls, Xia Ye prefers to let them live in nature, which is why he almost never puts Pokmon in Pokémon balls.

Menas was released from the elf ball. It looked at the surrounding environment. The air was fresh and the humidity was very suitable.

"Menas, this is your new home, although it's not as good as the lake where you used to live."

"Woo~"

Menas interrupted Xia Ye's words. It jumped into the lake, made a cheerful sound, and used actions to tell Xia Ye that it was satisfied with the current environment.

In fact, as long as the water in the lake is clear, Minas will be fine. Size makes no difference to it, because it usually sleeps at the bottom of the lake and seldom moves. It is an out-and-out underwater homebody.

What's more, it was determined to follow Xia Ye, so having such a clear lake was a surprise to it.

"Well, speaking of Menas, what do you usually eat?" Xia Ye asked. After all, it is a new lake and there is no food at all. You can't eat Carp King.

"Woo~"

Menas raised its neck, and blue light spots floated on the lake surface and merged into its body. It was showing Xia Ye its normal eating process.

"That's it, I know."

Xia Ye understood why Minas lived in clear lakes. Naturally, they couldn't stand the pollution because they relied on the energy of the water in the lake.

Speaking of which, after conquering Menas, I should be able to see its abilities. Thinking of this, lines of fonts appeared on Menas' body.

[Minas, water Pokémon, characteristics: Victory, potential: King's majesty (activated), magical scales, Lord of the Mist. 】

[The majesty of the king is inviolable. Effect: Pokémon with the same attributes or the same egg group will be afraid of your presence, and attacks have a chance to make the opponent cower. 】

No wonder Menas won the title of Queen of the Lake. Xia Ye looked at the carp kings in the lake. They stopped swimming and looked at Menas with awe.

[Magical scales, strange scales, become extremely hard in abnormal conditions. Conditions: Consume the scales of five or more dragon or fish Pokémon. Effect: You will gain the characteristic magical scales. 】

[Lord of the Mist, Lord of the Mist. Conditions: Learn two or more fog-related moves and master the mist field. Effect: Special attack and dodge rates will be increased in foggy or misty areas. 】

The potential of Magical Scales is okay, but what's wrong with the potential of Lord of Mist? Menas can't learn Mist Field.

[Minas, a water Pokémon, masters moves: Leap, Crash, Destroy Light, Self-Regeneration, Water Wave, Surf, Water Cannon, Life Drop, Water Ring, Rain, Charming Sound, Tornado, Dragon's Waves, frozen beams, white fog, sleep. 】

Looking at the luxurious move list of Menas, Xia Ye sighed again, the title Queen of the Lake is really correct. Over the years, she has mastered many moves and has become a powerful existence in Menas Lake.

At this time, the voice of the forest ranger assistant sounded in Xia Ye's heart.

[If the bond is satisfied, the strength is satisfied, and the attributes are satisfied, should Menas be promoted to the lord of the lake (unnamed)? 】

Lord? Xia Ye instantly thought of several powerful and special Pokémon, overlords, kings and bosses. Could the lord be a similar existence?

[Lord, a powerful Pokémon that protects a certain area. Blessing effect: Various abilities in the guarded area will be improved. Different abilities will be obtained according to the area. It will have natural leadership for the Pokémon living in the area and can master unusual moves. 】

[Area: Lake (unnamed). Lord Ability: Purification, which will gain a bonus to move damage against poison- and ghost-type Pokémon. 】

It sounds very similar to Overlord. What Xia Ye cares about is being able to master unusual moves. Perhaps this is the only possibility that allows Menas to master the mist field.

But the key is Menas's will. After a short period of getting along with him, Xia Ye discovered that Menas has a laid-back personality and may not be willing to take on this kind of responsibility.

After explaining the meaning of lord to Menas, it showed a thoughtful expression.

"No matter what choice you make, I will approve it, don't worry about me." Xia Ye said seriously.

Then, Menas nodded. It seemed to be called the queen of the lake by humans, so being a lord would make no difference.

"I know, but before that we need to give this lake a name. Do you have any ideas?" Xia Ye looked at the two Pokémon and asked.

After a heated discussion, Xia Ye named this brand new lake according to Menas's preference. It was called Mist Lake.

Then, Xia Ye reached out and touched Menas' head, silently agreeing to promote Menas to the lord of Mist Lake.

A strong blue light burst out in his hand, and Menas felt that his whole body was full of power. It was omnipotent in this lake, and could even sense all the Pokémon in the lake. This was the power of the lord.
