━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the evening, on a clearing by a stream, Merlin and his party were camping and resting here after dinner.

Although it is not far from Zhenxin Town, Meilin decided to take a night off first and go to the town early tomorrow morning to visit Dr. Damu, who had been with the gods for a long time.

In the stream, Kemen and Frog were playing in the water. On the clearing, Vyzel and Anteri were doing intensive training for Monardo. After a fierce battle with Dales in the afternoon, Monardo seemed to be very exciting and was working hard. Dales, the one who just joined in the afternoon, was leaning under the tree roots with a round belly with satisfaction and burping. In the tent, Nightingale was helping Merlin make the bed. As for Dracula, I don’t know where to fly to let the wind out.

Merlin was sitting on the stump, taking advantage of this rare leisure time to paint Dales' baby ball.

Vyzel, Dracula, Nightingale and Anteri, who were placed in the chief ball, only had different decorations on the outside for different differences. Kemen, who were placed in ordinary balls, only had patterns. As for Monnado, who were placed in high-end balls, Frog and Dales were different. In addition to the patterns, Merlin also replaced the original yellow pattern of the high-end balls to special colors that symbolize different attributes.

For example, in addition to the broken earth as decoration on the high-level ball of Monnado, the color of the pattern is also replaced with the poisonous purple symbolizing the poisonous attribute; in addition to having a blooming flower as decoration, Frog also replaced the pattern with two entangled patterns, including the poisonous purple symbolizing the poisonous attribute and the grass green symbolizing the grass attribute; and in Dales, the color is naturally replaced with the earth yellow symbolizing the ground attribute.

Holding a professional special spray gun, Merlin quickly completed the replacement of the pattern color, put the high-end ball aside and dried it, and he began to design patterns for Dales on the drawing paper.

Meilin's painter can only be considered ordinary, but he painted very meticulously and carefully.

Soon, a few small but exquisite patterns appeared on the paper. After looking at it for a while, Merlin, who thought it was pretty good, rolled up the drawing paper and went to ask Dales for his opinion.

Merlin approached Dales and spread the paper like a treasure. There were several patterns on it: some had only one bone stick, some were a bone helmet and a bone stick, some were silhouettes of Gala Gala waving the bone stick, and some were bone sticks covered with cracks and scars.

"Look at which one do you like?" Merlin asked expectantly.

Dales was obviously shocked by this scene, and looked at the drawing paper for a while and looked at Merlin for a while.

"Please choose one, choose one as the pattern on your baby ball, everyone has it." Merlin explained. In order to increase persuasion, he also removed the baby balls from other friends from behind for Dales to show.

After seeing the real thing, Dales finally understood what Merlin meant. It touched its bone helmet, wandering through several patterns, and finally chose the bone stick pattern covered with cracks and scars as its symbolic pattern.

"Do you choose this? I understand." After finalizing the pattern, Merlin returned to his workplace with the drawing paper and prepared to start making patterns.

Dales followed Merlin curiously, wanting to see how Merlin works.

Meilin first picked up the dried high-end balls, polished one of them with a special grinding tool, and then took out an air jet gun with a very small muzzle to clean the working surface. After cleaning, a small canvas with the original color was ready.

Noting Dales' attention, Merlin gave it a smile and then continued to work.

Take out a very thin carving knife, Meilin began to carve the pattern on the surface of the high-end ball. She saw Meilin's slender and white fingers gently holding the hilt, leaving traces and patterns on the surface of the high-end ball as her fingers flew up and down.

Soon, the pattern was finished.

After taking the air gun again to remove the waste, Meilin twisted a very thin coloring pen, dipped it in the prepared bone white colorant and began to outline it. His writing was light but very decisive, and he finished it with a few strokes.

Looking at Merlin's focused expression, Dales suddenly felt that he was right (it also expressed similar thoughts after dinner).

Just as Dales was stunned, Merlin's paintings were basically completed. He put down his brush and placed the advanced balls before they could be dried. At this time, Merlin found that Dales was still standing beside him.

"What? Are you worried that I can't draw well? I did not draw well in the past, but I have already practiced very skillfully..." Meilin said gently. Only when he was alone with his companions would he show such a look and tone.

Dales shook his head and said that he was not worried about this. Anyway, he could not see the patterns on the outside of the high-end ball, so whether the painting was good or bad, it really had nothing to do with it.

"...You can relax on the first day, and you can take a look at the training later. Of course, you can just participate directly." Merlin instantly turned the topic to the training, "and the training will start when it gets dark until everyone is tired."

Meilin looked up at the sky. At this time, the sunset had almost completely set and the sky was gradually being shrouded in black.

"Today's goal is to force Frog to participate in actual training, but the hope is still not too great." Merlin said to himself, "When will that brat discover his strength and talent? His long-term escape and escape made him completely forget that he still has the talent to fight..."

Merlin began to nag.

Listening to Merlin's nagging, Dales's thinking also returned to the past. Once upon a time, it had a similar life.

"...Ah, by the way, the colorant should be dry, it's time to polish..." As he said that, Merlin began to work on his work again.

Dales, who was interrupted by the thoughts of recalling the past, looked at Merlin with a strange expression, and a feeling of regret rose slightly in his heart.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Dales, who was eager to become stronger and evolving, naturally did not refuse to train tonight. He joined Monardo and Kaimen's weight-bearing training with high enthusiasm, and soon felt unable to bear it.

Just as it was hesitating whether to quit and take a break, Merlin continued to try to persuade Frog to participate in the training.

"Frog, it doesn't matter if we don't fight, so can we exercise the weight-bearing ability of the vine whip? Come on, try to lift me up with the vine whip." Merlin tried to persuade Frog.

Frog was lying beside Nightingale, with big eyes wandering around and not daring to look at Merlin, and moved his body to lean towards Nightingale.

Nightingale, who was regarded as a shield, seemed a little helpless, and this was the first time it was used as a shield.

Merlin continued to lean forward and persuaded Frog: "Come on, come on, lift me up."

Frog looked aside.

"Come on, come on." Merlin continued.

Frog looked to the other side.

"Come on, come on, try it." Merlin continued.

The seeds on Frog's back suddenly trembled, and then a large stream of powder emitting blue light burst out from it, spreading the inevitable Merlin. Merlin, hit by such high-density sleep powder, fell to death without any signs.

Nightingale was startled and ran over quickly, grabbed Meilin's collar, swung her palm and slapped it on Meilin's face. Four consecutive slaps were slapped, and Merlin was still asleep. Nightingale was stunned. Just as it was about to slap Meilin again, it suddenly fell asleep. It seemed that Nightingale had been hit by the powder just now.

Knowing that he had caused trouble, Frog slipped into Merlin's tent very skillfully and hid it.

After sleeping for a while, Nightingale woke up slowly. It had natural recovery characteristics and could quickly get rid of this special state. But Merlin did not, and he could only wake him up through external forces.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next morning.

Merlin's face is rare to be so rosy, of course, if you don't delve into the bulging cheeks, just look at the complexion.

Merlin woke up naturally in the morning, and after waking up, his face on both sides was completely numb. I don’t know how many slaps Nightingale slapped Merlin. Merlin could naturally infer what happened to him. He was taken to sleep by sleep powder, but this does not mean that he had lost that memory. It was only the effect of profound hypnosis.

Seeing Frog carefully holding a quick breakfast with bread, milk and sausages with a vine whip, her face was full of apology, and there was even a faint light in her eyes. Merlin was really angry at all, and it would be fine if she used a trick to recover from this small injury.

"Are the four laws?" Because her cheeks were numb, Merlin's words were completely gone.

He could only let Nightingale deal with it for himself first.

After a while, with Nightingale's healing trick, Merlin finally returned to normal. While eating the breakfast provided by Frog as apologies, Merlin looked at the news on her handheld computer.

"The Rocket Legion attacked the ancient city of Urudelang." Merlin muttered a news title, "It is reported that the infamous Rocket Legion recently attacked the ancient city of Urudelang among the northern mountains, but with the efforts of locals and alliance personnel, the attack was eventually repelled. At present, we have not learned why this group of criminal gangs famous for poaching, smuggling, selling and cherishing Pokémon came to the ancient Urudelang..."

"What are they going there for? Could it be that they are also looking for the legendary 'Initial Tree of the World'?"

Regarding the Rockets, Merlin's understanding is only about "it is a poaching organization", "relying on smuggling and selling precious wild Pokémon to make huge profits", "closely related to the upper class", "very deep background", etc. In short, she is a behemoth that Merlin is unwilling to offend and offend.

So, Merlin looked at this kind of news and then passed.

Taking a sip of milk, Merlin continued to read the news.

"The mysterious new baby ball, the dream-bossed plan of the master ball is revealed!" Merlin began to talk about the news again, "...Shiluf Company seems to be planning a new baby ball revolution. According to reliable information, Shiluf Company, which has always been famous for manufacturing low-quality and low-end baby balls, is developing a new generation of high-end baby balls. According to reports, the name of this baby ball is tentatively designated as the "Zheng Ball". In addition to the more luxurious interior space and survival devices, this so-called master ball also comes with a feature that every trainer dreams of, that is, the "must-capture" function. It is said that the function is through..."

"What a fuck you are going to do? You must catch it. Isn't it enough to add a baby ball lock?"

The Baby Ball Lock in Merlin's mouth was once popular when the Pokémon wave just started. Its structure and function were very simple. It was to put a mechanical lock on the outside of the Ball so that the Ball could only be opened from the outside. Unless violently destroyed, the bound Pokémon could not break free.

It was this small invention that once caused extremely tense relationship between Pokémon and humans. In order to make Pokémon have no energy to attack inside the Baby Ball (the Baby Ball was poor at that time and was easily damaged), people often used ruthless efforts when conquering Pokémon. There were often cases of Pokémon breaking Baby Ball and attacking trainers for revenge.

After only a few months of launching, the league stopped the production and sales of Baby Ball Locks, and strictly stipulated that the use of Baby Ball Locks is abusive Pokémon and can be held accountable. This made this little thing gradually disappear.

Now, the so-called "must capture" function of the so-called master's ball is a recontinuation of the treasure ball lock, and it can also be regarded as a recontinuation of human beings' natural arrogance - they always think they want to control everything.

Meilin, who was so angry at this news, had no time to continue reading. After breakfast, Meilin packed her luggage and set off for Zhenxin Town.
