Along the way, they encountered Pokémon like Bellsprout and Rattata, mostly under Level 10. Mu Qingzhu continued as before, letting her Pokémon battle wild Pokémon, and regardless of win or loss, each Pokémon received an energy cube.
In this way, Mu Qingzhu and the three little ones walked and battled, and their strength also improved somewhat.
Unknowingly, they walked to the deepest part of the forest, where there was a Scyther.
[Pokémon: Scyther (BOSS) Type: Bug, Flying Level: 15 Gender: Male Ability: Technician (Powers up weaker moves when the Pokémon is attacking.) Moves: Glare, Quick Attack, Fury Cutter, False Swipe, Wing Attack Egg Moves: Night Slash Held Item: None Aptitude: Advanced]
Looking at the Scyther, which was roughly the same level as her three little ones, Mu Qingzhu swallowed. Seeing Mu Qingzhu, Scyther cried, "Scyther!"
Mu Qingzhu heard Scyther wanting all three Pokémon to attack together, so she immediately said:
"Ralts, Disarming Voice! Snivy, Grassy Terrain! Zorua, Hone Claws!"
"Ralts!"
"Snivy!"
"Zorua~"
After being hit by Ralts's Disarming Voice, Scyther immediately used Quick Attack to approach the three little ones and attacked Ralts with Night Slash.
"Ralts, use Teleport! Zorua, Shadow Sneak! Snivy, use Vine Whip to control Scyther!"
Ralts evaded Scyther's Night Slash with Teleport, causing Scyther's attack to miss. At the same time, Zorua hit Scyther with Shadow Sneak, and Snivy immediately used Vine Whip to restrain Scyther. However, Scyther's two scythes were sharp, and it immediately cut through the Vine Whip.
The moment Scyther cut through the Vine Whip, Mu Qingzhu used Telepathy to have Ralts use Mystical Fire. Mystical Fire hit Scyther, causing it to lose its ability to battle.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu heard the system voice:
"Ding ~ Congratulations on clearing Viridian Forest (Easy). You will return to the real world in 1 minute."
After returning to the real world, Mu Qingzhu realized that what felt like over 10 hours in the dungeon was only 1 hour in the real world.
Mu Qingzhu then summarized the gains from this dungeon: all three little ones had increased by 1 level and gained a lot of battle experience.
The summer vacation passed in a flash, and there was one day left until school started. Mu Qingzhu continued her usual routine, entering the Viridian Forest dungeon every morning to level up. Meanwhile, Huang Yao and his team successfully revived Archen and Amaura. Mu Qingzhu planned to give these two Pokémon to Bai Ou and Xia Bing.
During this period, Mu Qingzhu's two unknown eggs also hatched into Hisuian Growlithe and Shiny Froakie.
[Pokémon: Hisuian Growlithe Type: Fire, Rock Level: 15 Gender: Male Ability: Rock Head (Protects the Pokémon from recoil damage.) Moves: Glare, Ember, Howl, Bite, Flame Wheel Egg Moves: Morning Sun, Head Smash, Double-Edge Aptitude: Champion]
[Pokémon: Shiny Froakie Type: Water Level: 15 Gender: Male Ability: Protean (Changes the Pokémon's type to the type of the move it's about to use.) Moves: Pound, Growl, Water Gun, Quick Attack, Lick, Water Pulse Egg Moves: Toxic Spikes, Spikes Aptitude: Champion Bond: 9%]
Mu Qingzhu's bond with Froakie also reached 9%. Ralts and Snivy reached Level 21 but had not yet evolved, possibly needing a evenly matched battle. Zorua reached Level 25 with the help of the Spooky Plate.
Considering that tomorrow was the first day of school, Mu Qingzhu decided that Ralts and the others should rest well today. So, Ralts and her companions played happily in the yard. Watching them play, Mu Qingzhu returned to her room and began to organize the items she would need for school tomorrow.
After tidying up her belongings, Mu Qingzhu checked the items Olivia had purchased during this period:
key stone × 2, Charizard ite X × 1, Charizard ite Y × 1, Venusaurite × 1, Blastoisinite × 1, Gengarite × 1, Alakazite × 1, Fire Z-Crystal × 1, Water Z-Crystal × 1, Ghost Z-Crystal × 1, wishing star × 6.
Mu Qingzhu then checked the items in her system inventory:
"Items: Poké Balls: Luxury Ball × 100, Ultra Ball × 500, Great Ball × 1000, Poké Ball × 2000, Master Ball × 5 Rare Candies: Basic Rare Candy × 5000, Intermediate Rare Candy × 2000, Advanced Rare Candy × 100 Potions: Potion × 500, Super Potion × 200, Full Heal × 150, Revive × 150, Hyper Potion × 100, Full Restore × 50, Max Potion × 50 Evolution Stones: S-grade Fire Stone × 2, A-grade Flying Gem × 1, A-grade Ice Gem × 1, S-grade Leaf Stone × 1, S-grade Sun Stone, S-grade Moon Stone × 1, S-grade Thunder Stone × 1, S-grade Water Stone × 1, S-grade Shiny Stone × 1, S-grade Dusk Stone × 1, S-grade Ice Stone × 1, S-grade Dawn Stone × 1, Beedrillite × 1, Steelixite × 1, Audinite × 1, key stone × 3, Charizard ite X × 1, Charizard ite Y × 1, Venusaurite × 1, Blastoisinite × 1, Gengarite × 1, Alakazite × 1, Fire Z-Crystal × 1, Water Z-Crystal × 1, Ghost Z-Crystal × 1, wishing star × 7 TMs: Will-O-Wisp × 5, Sunny Day × 3, Rain Dance × 3, Sandstorm × 3, Hail × 3, Substitute × 5, Protect × 5, Play Rough × 3, Earthquake × 3, Calm Mind × 2, Dazzling Gleam × 2, Thunderbolt × 2, Thunder × 2, Energy Ball × 2 energy cubes: All-attribute Basic energy cube × 500, All-attribute Intermediate energy cube × 200, All-attribute advanced energy cube × 100, All-attribute perfect-grade energy block × 50, HP Recovery Basic energy cube × 500, HP Recovery Intermediate energy cube × 300, HP Recovery advanced energy cube × 200 Aptitude Enhancers: Basic Aptitude Enhancer × 10, Intermediate Aptitude Enhancer × 10 Other Items: Team Rockets Researcher × 20"
After reviewing the items in her system inventory, Mu Qingzhu first put the evolution stones they had collected during this time into her system inventory, then took out some TMs. She then went to the yard, gathered her Pokémon, and then recalled them into their Poké Balls, inserting the TMs into the Poké Balls to let them learn new moves.
After a while, Mu Qingzhu released them from their Poké Balls, informed them of a few things, and then let them continue playing.
After handling these matters, Mu Qingzhu rechecked the items needed for school tomorrow, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she calmly waited for the first day of school tomorrow.
