Back at the farm, Machamp (Lili) was just then lifting heavy rock dumbbells to train her strength. After looking, Kaito realized that Lili had already advanced to Level 59. She was only one step away from Level 60, which is the Quasi-Elite Four-tier. But this one step was enough to hinder countless Pokémon, a difficulty comparable to a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
"Lili, eat this." Kaito took out the Rare Candy he had obtained earlier. It could allow Machamp to leap to the next stage, breaking through this final hurdle.
"Niiii-keh!" Lili wasn't pretentious; she put down the heavy, custom-made dumbbell, making the ground dust jump. She clearly understood that her consumption of the Rare Candy now would bring the highest value to Kaito. Therefore, she could not betray Kaito's trust.
She threw the Rare Candy into her mouth. Machamp felt an indescribable taste burst open in her mouth. She chewed frantically, repeatedly. A moment later, countless warm currents surged within her body, flowing to every corner, making her feel as warm as if she were in a hot spring.
Machamp's body erupted with a light like that of evolution, giving off an aura like a gradually awakening fierce beast!
The system notified: Prompt: Machamp used Rare Candy. Level is increasing: 59 — 60! New move: Cross Chop. Self-learned moves: Dynamic Punch, Mega Punch.

Machamp's transformation attracted the surrounding Pokémon. Arcanine, Gardevoir, Bunnelby... all gathered closer, curiously gazing at Machamp. Kaito stared at Machamp, his eyes full of anticipation. His first Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon was born!
Almost instantaneously, a chilling aura shot straight into the sky! The aura swept past the group of Pokémon, then rushed relentlessly into the distance, not only encompassing the farm but also spreading into the forest. Boom —
The aura of a Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon was an enormous deterrent to those mostly Common-tier and Good-tier frail Pokémon. For a time, many Pokémon fled in panic, scurrying in the opposite direction from the farm. Machamp's aura surged wildly, reaching a peak before dissipating completely. The oppressive, heavy feeling in the surroundings vanished. A peaceful and harmonious atmosphere returned to the farm. Quasi-Elite Four-tier — Achieved!
The system notified: Task completed: Own a Level 60 Pokémon. Task Reward: Random Mega Stone. Reward drawing in progress — Task Reward: Gardevoirite.
He actually drew Gardevoir's Mega Stone? What good luck. Coupled with the Mega Pendant obtained previously, he had a chance to Mega Evolve Gardevoir!
"Niiii-keh!" Machamp let out a long breath, patted her chest, and said with satisfaction. She had become a Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon! Before, this was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Kaito nodded in satisfaction. At this level, Machamp already belonged to the ranks of high-level Pokémon. Even for a regional Elite, a Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon was qualified to join their main team. He was just running a farm, and having one Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon was already extremely safe.
Of course, no one ever thought they had too many trump cards. The more Quasi-Elite Four-tier, and even higher-level Pokémon, the better. As long as he proceeded step by step, it wouldn't be long before his farm would see a scene where Elites were everywhere, and Quasi-Elite Fours were as common as dogs.
"Very good. Since Lili has been promoted to Quasi-Elite Four-tier, our exploration will be much safer."
He planned to go out and continue exploring Qinglin Mountain. Last time he went out, he didn't even finish exploring one area; this time, he absolutely had to complete it.
He packed the necessities for the trip, such as a tent, some cooking utensils, and daily supplies. Kaito carried some in his bag, and some he stored in the system's space to lighten his burden.
Kaito looked at his Pokémon and asked: "So, who wants to come with me to explore? We might have to stay in the mountains overnight."
"Bui."
"Woof!"
"Shana."
Eevee, Arcanine, Gardevoir… all expressed their desire to go along. In summary, most of his Pokémon wanted to go out with him.
Kaito had no objection to this. The farm was guarded day and night by packs of Mightyena and Furret, plus the numerous Combee, the Elite-tier Vespiquen, and two Elite-tier Ursaring. His farm was extremely safe. It was no exaggeration to say that this lineup for guarding a farm was overkill.
As for the Quasi-Elite Four-tier Machamp, she naturally had to accompany him. Kaito understood a principle very clearly: A wise man does not stand under a tottering wall. Not carrying such a trump card with him, but leaving it at the farm, would be an act of utter foolishness. Leaving aside other things, carrying a Quasi-Elite Four-tier Pokémon when going out made him feel more confident. In his previous life, it would be like having millions in savings, filling one with self-confidence.
Kaito adjusted the backpack on his back, led his Pokémon, and excitedly pointed towards the forest: "Let's go! Our destination is Qinglin Mountain!"
