This time, they planned to head deeper into the mountains to find stronger Pokémon to battle.
Zhang Cheng's Pokémon were all above level 14 now, so battling level 10 Pokémon on the outskirts of the mountains offered little benefit.
"Have you heard? There's been some news about Pokémon Evolution Stones lately," Xie Wen suddenly said to Zhang Cheng as they made their way into the mountains.
"It caused quite a stir when it first came out. I heard about it back then." Zhang Cheng recalled the first time he had seen information about Evolution Stones.
"According to the experts, Evolution Stones should be appearing in lots of places across Huaxia now. Do you think there might be some in the Yellow Sand Mountains?" Xie Wen asked excitedly.
"It's hard to say. We might come across one if we're lucky." After a moment's thought, Zhang Cheng continued, "If Evolution Stones really can trigger Mega Evolution in Pokémon like they say, their value would be immeasurable."
"This is a heaven-sent opportunity!" Xie Wen's eyes gleamed. "Let's head deeper into the mountains to find Pokémon to train against, and keep an eye out for clues about Evolution Stones along the way."
Zhang Cheng nodded. He thought it was a good plan, too. They would spend most of their time training their Pokémon, then use any spare time to look for clues about Evolution Stones.
If they really found an Evolution Stone as Xie Wen hoped, it would undoubtedly give their strength a tremendous boost in the future.
The two headed deeper into the mountains, and Zhang Cheng used the system to check the levels of nearby Pokémon.
They only stopped once they reached an area where the Pokémon averaged around level 15, then began looking for suitable wild Pokémon to battle.
