: As long as... as long as we can get to that place!

After resting for a while, Xia Ming took Young Gilas and continued on their way, walking down the steep slope and soon arriving at the bottom of the mountain.

The winding stream meanders through the valleys of the mountains, and you can often see Pokémon with mixed Water and Ground types, such as Quagsire, Woop, and Mudkip, which love swampy environments.

The number of Rock-type Pokémon has decreased significantly, so at least you won't suddenly step on the head of a disguised Pokémon while walking around. Of course, you still need to be extra careful; fewer doesn't mean none.

On their way to the evacuation point, Xia Ming and Larvitar challenged low-level Pokémon training levels while collecting supplies along the way.

The number of tree fruits has decreased significantly, and there are more rock-related props such as hard stones.

This obvious change results in a significant decrease in leveling efficiency. After all, Pokémon are not machines; they can get hurt and need rest. Berries and healing items are consumed in large quantities during high-intensity battles.

"Looks like I'll have to bring more medicine and tree fruit next time. The abundance of supplies in the last world almost made me forget about them."

After spraying the only bottle of healing medicine he had scavenged onto Young Gilas, Xia Ming silently thought that the superdimensional worlds he would travel to in the future would only become more and more extreme.

It is said that in the ancient Pokémon world of the "Origin" level, there is even a large-scale phenomenon of "cannibalism," which is the cruelest natural law among Pokémon in an environment where resources and consumption are severely mismatched.

If you don't want to watch your incapacitated partner get devoured by other Pokémon, you absolutely must bring plenty of PokéSupport items!

…………

Time passed quickly. This time, Xia Ming's spawn point was a little far from the evacuation point. It was already late at night when he arrived with Young Gilas.

"Young Yoshi!"

On the low reef, Young Kiras excitedly pointed to the low peaks rising from the distant sea. The flattened peaks on the low peaks emitted a striking white light, which was the White Hole symbolizing departure.

However, this was not what excited Young Gilas; what excited him was the bridge that spanned the sea!

That's right, Xia Ming and Young Gilas can block the bridge again.

Although there are obvious spiral steps on the low peak at the evacuation point, indicating that it can be climbed up if you can swim across from the sea, this is not the only way to evacuate.

The second road is a long wooden bridge that extends upwards from the summit and connects to another sloping cliff.

There was nowhere to hide, only a huge, bare slope with a cliff at the top that could plunge into the sea.

"Well, I didn't really want to do something that would diminish my merit, but since I'm already here..."

Xia Ming carefully observed the surrounding terrain from below. Although he said this, he was already immediately thinking about how to block the bridge. But before that:

"Let's rest for a while, Young Gilas. This time, the prey will probably need more time to get into the trap. What we need to do is improve our strength as much as possible."

"Young Yoshi!"

Young Giras obeyed its trainer's commands completely, and soon it found a place to lie down and rest, while Xia Ming casually took out a spicy berry from his backpack and took a bite:

"This is the determination I've made to properly seal off the area under the bridge!"

So, Xia Ming stayed up half the night relying on the spicy stimulation, searching the neighborhood for a hiding place where he could ambush others.

"Bulbasaur, use Leech Seed on the ground to stop them!"

"Hehehe, the youngsters are wasting their time. Houndoom uses Burn, York uses Helping Hand on Nidorino, and Nidorino uses Wild Attack on the Trainer!"

Dark Wild Fight, kid!

"Heave-ho!"

A raging inferno erupted from Houndoom's mouth, fanning out and burning the rampant plants that were growing on the ground. In a single exchange, it easily destroyed the plants that were blocking its path.

Meanwhile, the other two Pokémon on the other side also followed their trainer's instructions. York used Help on Nidorino next to him, which boosted the latter's power with Scatter Shot.

"Here you go!"

dong dong dong-

Nidorino's ferocious hooves kicked up dust on the ground, its forelimbs gleaming. With the added power of this terrifying force, its speed was amplified, and in the blink of an eye, it had bypassed Bulbasaur's defenses and pounced on its trainer.

"Whoosh—!"

Seeing that the trainer was about to be severely injured by Nidorino's claws, Bulbasaur rushed back to help, but it was too slow, too slow!

So he made a dangerous decision. Watching the raging flames engulfing him, he deliberately slowed his movements, only accelerating suddenly just before the flames reached him. A series of painful cries followed.

"Whoosh—whoosh—!"

The pain pushed Bulbasaur beyond its limits! It managed to arrive before Nidorino's claws could harm its trainer, and shielded him with its own body.

"Bulbasaur!"

The sixteen-year-old boy looked flustered and shocked. He reached out and caught the Bulbasaur that Nidorino had slapped at him. He was pushed to the ground by the force of the impact.

But this move did not win the empathy of those who advocated for dark warfare.

It was an older man, around thirty years old, who looked down at the young man lying on the ground and gave commands to Houndoom:

"This is the final blow! Use Lightning Fang on them!"

"Hey ho~"

A deep growl came from Houndoom's throat, followed by the formation of a pair of fangs made of lightning.

He started running, ready to deliver the final blow to his prey!

"Escape! We must escape!"

Seeing the approaching Houndoom, the boy didn't just sit and wait to die. Instead, he picked up the heavily injured Bulbasaur and started to run away.

But how could a sixteen-year-old recent graduate possibly outrun a level 24 Houndoom?

Rumble!

"Long~"

Perhaps it was fate, but a Graveler that was sleeping nearby was woken up by the battle. And its morning grumpiness was extraordinary. In anger, it stomped on Houndoom and chased it away!

"Roar~"

Houndoom, caught off guard by a sneak attack from the side, was seriously injured, which gave the boy who was running ahead a chance to catch his breath.

The boy didn't look back to see what had happened; he just kept running forward, running forward!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why am I so unlucky! Bulbasaur, you'll be alright, as long as we get there, as long as we get there!"

The boy looked up at the cliffs and bridges not far away.

He vowed that he would never come to the Hyperdimensional World without any preparation again, from stepping on a Gravestone while walking and being chased by it, to later being ambushed and chased by the veteran when he tried to leave.

There was none of the composure I felt when I was first graduated and matched with new trainers in the same pool.

The malice of the hyperdimensional world began to strike the rookie trainer who had left the rookie protection period for the first time, and utterly humiliated him.

All he wants now is to leave, to take Bulbasaur with him and give him the best treatment!

But will the bad luck end so easily?

"How pathetic. If you want to leave, leave your backpack behind."

The reality is that misfortune relentlessly pursues us!
