Tropius's Growth only worked on plants, and Leech Seed actually counted as a special kind of plant.

The Leech Seeds on the three Fearow were instantly ripened, while the massive influx of Life Force brought fresh vitality to the battered Tropius.

The loss of so much Life Force caused the three Fearow afflicted with Leech Seed to lose all their Life Force in a single turn.

In this world, Life Force was stamina, recovery ability, and vitality all at once. Once it was depleted, a Fearow would fall unconscious.

If they were finished off at that point, the damage would be dealt to their Life Source. A Pokémon that lost its Life Source would die.

But as long as a Pokémon's Life Source remained intact, its Life Force would slowly recover. The Fearow that had lost their Life Force would likely awaken again after around twelve hours.

But this was the wilderness. Lying there like a corpse for twelve hours in the wild was practically no different from being dead.

As everyone knew, Pokémon, like humans, were omnivores. Most Pokémon ate meat, and the helpless Fearow might very well end up on some other Pokémon's dinner table.

Seeing their three Companions lose their fighting ability in an instant, the remaining two Fearow panicked as well.

Although Tropius had not fully returned to its peak after gulping down Life Energy, it was not far from it. At the very least, the wounds on its body had vanished as its Life Force recovered.

Lu Li deliberately shouted fiercely, "Tropius! Keep using Leech Seed!"

Hearing that familiar voice, the other two Fearow stared at Lu Li in terror, as though they were looking at something Terrifying. Without hesitation, they turned and fled the battlefield without looking back.

Only after seeing the remaining two Fearow escape did Lu Li finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

In truth, Tropius had already reached its limit. That Growth just now had nearly drained all the energy in its body.

If this continued, the two fleeing Fearow would discover that Tropius had become a sitting duck.

Looking at the dense vegetation around him, Lu Li sincerely praised, "Special Growth at maximum power is truly Terrifying!"

Using Leech Seed together with Special Growth, Tropius had actually taken down a Normal-level Late Stage Fearow in seconds.

Such an outrageous record could only be described as terrifying.

After all, compared to Tropius, Fearow had the type advantage and was stronger as well. Tropius's only advantage had been its moves.

"That commotion was huge. It'll definitely attract other Pokémon in the forest. Tropius, we need to leave this place quickly," Lu Li reminded it.

"Tro~"

(Trainer, I think I forgot the way Home.)

Lu Li: "..."

Lu Li gave an awkward laugh. "What a coincidence. I wasn't paying attention to the direction either."

Tropius: "..."

Tropius looked at Lu Li with its bright eyes, a trace of helplessness showing through its clear gaze.

"Tro~"

(We can't find the way Home?)

This time, Tropius's cry clearly carried a hint of anxiety and fear.

"It's fine. Let's leave this place first, then rest nearby for a while," Lu Li said.

After speaking, Lu Li took out the remaining Grass-type Essence Aggregate and said, "Tropius, eat some of this first to recover your energy."

"Tro!"

(I want to eat that whatever-pill.)

Lu Li gently comforted it, "Be good! That one isn't as immediately effective as this. Eat this first."

Put simply, the Grass-type Essence Aggregate was merely a collection of Life Energy and Grass-type Energy. It was best used to restore energy and Life Force.

However, this thing could not be used during battle and might even have side effects. Otherwise, they would have been fighting while chugging medicine just now.

Tropius obediently swallowed the Grass-type Essence Aggregate, while Lu Li recalled it into its Poké Ball. Compared to staying outside, Tropius could convert the Grass-type Essence Aggregate into its own energy faster inside the Poké Ball.

Although his strength was already at the Experienced-level, humans could not be compared to Pokémon. His Experienced-level was somewhat inflated, but Tropius's Normal-level had no such exaggeration.

If they really ran into trouble, they would still have to rely on Tropius. After all, it was rather undignified for a Trainer to personally jump into a brawl with Pokémon.

Carefully using his Spiritual Sense to avoid every Pokémon, Lu Li moved silently through the forest like a ghost.

After walking for over half an hour, Lu Li stopped.

Originally, he had planned to wait until the Spiritual Power in his body had mostly recovered before using a fortune-teller's methods to determine the route Home.

But Lu Li had not expected this trip to bring an unexpected delight.

Lu Li hurried excitedly to a patch of Bushes. Gently pushing aside the weeds and Thorns, he stared at the herb before him in astonishment.

"How can this thing appear in the Pokémon world?!" Lu Li muttered in disbelief.

The herb's leaves were oval to ovate, with smooth edges. They were somewhat thick and translucent, looking like jadeite, while several tiny fruits hung from the top of the plant.

In fact, this herb had a lovely name as well. Its description and name were recorded in the inheritance of the Hundred Immortal Cultivation Arts.

The herb was called Jade Beauty, and it was one of the main ingredients for refining Beautifying Pills and Youth Preservation Pills.

However, compared to the Jade Beauty of the Immortal Cultivation World, the color of the Jade Beauty before him was somewhat different. Jade Beauty from the Immortal Cultivation World was bluish jade in color, while the one before him was green jadeite in color.

This was the first time since coming to this world that he had encountered a medicinal herb from the Immortal Cultivation World. Although the herb before him was somewhat different due to the differences in World Law

Through his Spiritual Sense, Lu Li could determine that this herb had effects similar to Jade Beauty from the Immortal Cultivation World. In fact, the Jade Beauty before him was of exceptionally high quality.

As a Master-level Spirit Herbalist and alchemist, Lu Li was certain that his judgment could not be wrong.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, Youth Preservation Pills could keep a person eternally young. Beautifying Pills were even more impressive: they could raise a person's appearance to the most perfect state they could naturally attain.

This perfection did not refer to the perfection of one's species, but rather the greatest perfection determined by an individual's genes and soul.

Beauty Spirit Pill version 2.0 seemed to have found a new research direction!

Filled with excitement, Lu Li quickly and carefully dug up the Jade Beauty. He did not know what this herb was called in this world, but he would call it Green Jadeite here. After all, its leaves looked more like green jadeite than bluish jade.

Milotic was known as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world, and Xiao Mei possessed a one-in-ten-thousand hidden Ability.

With this herb, as long as he conducted further research, he was confident he could turn Xiao Mei into the Daji of the Pokémon world.

Lu Li carefully dug it out along with the soil around its roots. After gently placing it into his Backpack, he continued searching the area, unwilling to give up.

Normally, such a rare herb, especially one that had grown this large, should not have appeared alone.

Soon, Lu Li found several Green Jadeite seedlings nearby. He did not disdain them either, digging them up with their roots and soil intact.
