Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 502: Central Oasis, Desert Temple, Tower of Despair and Confusion

"Most wild areas have been visited by humans to some extent, and more importantly, have sufficient resources, so over a long period of time a relatively peaceful competitive environment will gradually form."

In short, there is no pressure to survive.

But it's different here.

"It's a restricted area, isolated from the outside world, with a harsh environment and scarce resources. The Purple Desert is probably still in its most primitive ecological stage, where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. The intensity of the competition based on survival pressure is of course unimaginable, which is why these elves are so aggressive, even to the point of being bloodthirsty."

The breath of autumn is natural and peaceful.

Generally speaking, it won't cause wild Pokémon to actively attack, but it won't affect them too deeply either.

The premise is that they will not do anything that would irritate the elves.

Along the way, Shi Qiu did not waste time on meaningless battles, nor did he choose to actively contact these extremely xenophobic elf tribes. He and the Light Ghost who had restrained his breath, plus Rotom who was controlled by the Light Ghost with shadows, passed through the territories of several tribes quietly.

It’s not because of fear, but mainly because if the battle becomes too volatile, an outsider may cause all the desert elves to attack.

At that time, he would be forced to use his legendary combat power and main elves to overthrow the entire desert. Even if he won, the final score would probably not be very high.

This is the assessment for gym masters. Stability and protection are the themes of the assessment.

Just as Shi Qiu was traveling steadily and calmly, Qiao Ruo finally got off the plane and sat in the viewing room specially prepared for the Tiangan Ding position with a group of alliance assessors, observing the assessment on the screen.

However, what made these examiners depressed was that, just as Qiao Ruo had thought, Shi Qiu had a safe journey. Basically, all the tribes...even the tribes that were hunting and fighting, did not take the initiative to attack Shi Qiu.

He would just take a quick look when he had time, and once he was out of his own range of defense, he would go back to concentrate on his own things.

"It's written in the information, affinity?... This shouldn't meet the assessment criteria, right?" someone said hesitantly.

Someone else immediately retorted: "This is also a kind of gym leader's strength. You can't deny the bonus this ability brings to the responsibilities of a gym leader."

The person who raised the question thought about it and easily nodded in agreement with this statement.

Examiner Qiao Ruo sighed, "In fact, we have taken this situation into consideration and made an exception to choose the 'Purple Desert' as the test location. But I didn't expect that the man-eating desert, known for its cruel and bloodthirsty predation, could not stop this young man's affinity..."

What? You're saying they don't actually show any good intentions?

No, in this brutal ecological environment, the greatest kindness is to have no malice or desire to prey.

"This aimless advance is a bit inefficient..."

An hour and a half later, Shi Qiu and the Lantern Ghost stopped their aimless steps.

The monotonous scenery around him had not changed significantly since he first landed, and in such a harsh scene, not even a mirage appeared, which made Shi Qiu doubt whether there was no oasis in the "Purple Desert".

Whenever a mirage of an oasis appeared, he would not be so passive - this was the world of Pokémon, and through the refraction of light, it only took some effort to track and locate it, thus finding the approximate location of the real oasis.

"Do you have any directions?" Shi Qiu asked the ghost of light.

The ghost of the light shook his head: "(The temperature and humidity of the air have not changed significantly, so there is no way to accurately locate the location of the oasis.)"

As a spirit with fire and ghost attributes that ignites the lights, the light ghost can clearly sense the temperature and humidity in the air.

Generally speaking, the humidity will increase significantly along the direction of the oasis, and the temperature will be lower than the desert during the day and higher than the desert at night.

This is a common method to find the general direction of an oasis.

"Then let's take a break in the sandstone area first. This kind of desert stone structure is also a good place to rest."

After taking off the backpack and using the stone to block the wind, sand and light, Shi Qiu turned his attention to Rotom, who had been following them silently.

When he left the black-eyed crocodile tribe, there seemed to be a new mission change, but without a temporary safe resting place, he didn't have the energy to carefully study what happened.

Rotom floated in front of Shi Qiu at his call.

The familiar subtitles were projected again.

[Mission trigger: Chasing the rock, Reggie Rock! ]

[Trigger condition: Since it is detected that the assessee's survival task is too easy for the assessee and will definitely get a very high score, a "non-mandatory" special task is issued to the assessee.

There are extremely high rewards for completing tasks, including but not limited to:

Significantly improve assessment scores and ratings,

The review level of additional duties for special gyms has been lowered.

Exploration points rewards within the alliance, etc.

If the task fails, the assessment score will not be deducted. (Note: During the task, all the gains of the assessor belong to the assessor.)]

[Mission details: There are three special areas in the "Purple Desert", namely the Central Oasis, the Desert Temple, and the Tower of Despair and Confusion. The legendary elf, Regirock of the Rock, has been found in the Desert Temple. Providing relevant information, fighting Regirock, and conquering Regirock are all considered to have completed the mission, and there will be different levels of mission completion. (Note: The issuance of mission rewards will refer to the mission completion)]

[Please choose whether to accept the special mission. Selecting "Accept" will open the Desert Temple map. 】

Shi Qiu raised an eyebrow.

He thought of the Tianguan Peak, which was rated C-level, and the Tianxia Secret Realm, which was rated A-level.

In the restricted area, at least from area B upwards, I'm afraid there are many that have some connection with the legendary elves...

How many restricted areas are there in the summer zone?

Six? Seven? Or double digits?

There are many Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons here.

This was a win-win request in the name of a mission, and Shi Qiu had no reason to refuse, so he signaled Rotom to accept this special mission himself.

On the screen, everyone who saw this scene, including examiner Qiao Ruo, was immediately cheered up.

"Where does this strange task come from?" Suddenly, someone asked.

"It has nothing to do with the gym assessment, it's just an exploration mission."
