Time flew by. It was past 10 a.m.
Not only was Xia Mu sound asleep, but the four little ones were also exhausted after a day and a night, only recovering their energy at this time.
The continuous battles last night lasted until almost 2 a.m.
It started with Growlithe, then Beedrill, then Lucario, and then Gyarados.
After one round, another began...
Xia Mu had planned to go home before 1 a.m., but he couldn't resist the challenge.
He couldn't refuse, and with the thought of getting experience points for nothing, he fought one battle after another.
Naturally, the four little ones also had a very strong competitive spirit; they were willing to continue fighting, otherwise Xia Mu would never have forced them to participate.
Fortunately, there was a system shop where he could buy healing items for the four little ones, and energy cubes to replenish their stamina, allowing them to recover most of their battle strength in a short time.
For Xia Mu, it was fortunate that most of the later battles were one-on-one, and the opponents' levels were also average.
Otherwise, not only would Xia Mu be unable to withstand the strain, but the four little ones would also be exhausted from such relentless battles.
Growlithe's level increased by 2 levels in subsequent battles, reaching level 48.
It was getting closer and closer to Xia Mu's requirement of level 56 for Growlithe's evolution.
Beedrill's level increased by 4 levels, reaching level 42.
Although the number of battles and the strength of its opponents were far less than those faced by Growlithe, its level was only 38, so the experience points required to level up were not as many as Growlithe's.
Lucario also increased by 4 levels, reaching level 44.
It must be said that Lucario defeated the most opponents, thus gaining the most experience points.
As Xia Mu's strongest fighter at present, even without Mega Evolution, Lucario's practical combat ability surpasses Growlithe's, and its explosive power is also incomparable to Growlithe's.

Actually, gaining only 4 levels is considered low; a few more battles would have been enough to gain another level.
Finally, there's the red Gyarados, which only gained 3 levels to level 41.
Even less than Beedrill.
This is because the Pokémon it faced were too low-level and too weak.
Most trainers were intimidated by the red Gyarados's appearance, and many surrendered without a fight. Therefore, the red Gyarados didn't gain much experience; the 3-level gain was only due to the experience points it stored up during the day.
... After
getting up, Xia Mu quickly washed up with Lucario and Growlithe, who were sleeping in the room.
Once ready, he changed into a black outfit and came downstairs, yawning occasionally.
Staying up late is indeed the most energy-consuming thing. Even though the physical abilities of people in the Pokémon world are far superior to those in his previous life, he couldn't withstand such depletion lately.
However, Xia Mu suddenly discovered that staying up late to pushing his limits, his mind seemed to help improve his Aura power.
This suddenly gave him the idea that he might be able to research and cultivate Aura independently, perhaps even learning meditation.
Downstairs, Xia Mu saw food and a note on the table.
Although it was almost noon and the food was cold, Xia Mu wasn't too fussy; he just wanted to eat something to fill his stomach.
Before eating, he fed Lucario and Growlithe a little food, naturally adding Energy Cubes to it.
As for the Beedrill and Gyarados in the backyard, he'd check on them after he finished eating.
While eating, Xia Mu also picked up the note and carefully read the message.
In short, Mom knew he'd be home late last night and would probably sleep until noon. She told Xia Mu to eat something after he woke up, then go to the backyard to check on things, since the construction team had finished all the renovations yesterday evening. If he wasn't satisfied, he could bring it up and they could make changes.
After cleaning up the food, Xia Mu waited for Lucario and Growlithe to finish eating, then washed and put away all the dishes.
When he arrived at the backyard, it was completely transformed.
Before noon yesterday, the backyard was rather messy and showed heavy signs of human intervention.
Now it was completely different; simply put, the entire backyard had become a small wilderness area.
No, it wasn't small at all.
This large area was enough to build a large amusement park and shopping mall.
It was fortunate that their house was built in the suburbs, allowing for the utilization and transformation of large tracts of land.
Looking out, the lush green lawn looked like a golf course.
There are meadows, sandy areas, rocky terrain, and uneven waterways...
Every so often, there's a shed and a feeding spot. A stream flows through the courtyard; it's not wide, but still nearly two meters wide. Small bridges have been built to make it easier to cross the stream. Then, in the center, there's a large pond where a red Gyarados is resting, occasionally letting out a snoring sound like a dragon's roar.
And Beedrill?
It's nestled in a grove of twenty trees in the northeast corner.
It was one of the Leader of the swarm in the Round Island Forest, and now that it's here, this territory is its too.
"It was still too spacious, to be honest. Xia Mu only had four Pokémoy; even if I had several times more, it would still feel empty.
But my parents' Pokémon will come back in the future, and then it will be more lively.
It's all thanks to Kiso's foresight in designing this place so perfectly.
But now that the place is ready, we'll have to hire someone to manage it, since his mother's energy is limited.
Letting Lucario and Growlithe roam freely, and waking up the red Gyarados and Beedrill, Xia Mu took the opportunity to film a short video and send it to his mother.
He also posted the video on his social media account.
This world also has social media platforms similar to WeChat and Twitter.
People can post updates to promote communication.
His mother quickly replied, and after chatting with her for a while, Xia Mu put his phone away.
The Beedrill and red Gyarados had gathered around, waiting to be fed.
He had already fed them regular food, but it clearly wasn't enough to satisfy their hunger, so they needed Energy Cubes.
Xia Mu was unaware that his video post on social media quickly went viral.
Likes, comments, and saves surged, reaching over ten thousand.
For an ordinary account to receive such high traffic in such a short time undoubtedly meant the system detected a very high user engagement rate for the video, thus allocating more traffic.
Of course, the environment was one factor, but the main reason was the Pokémon themselves; Xia Mu included his Pokémon in the video.
The shiny red Gyarados was eye-catching enough, and Lucario is also a very rare Pokémon; many people in the comments section specifically asked what kind of Pokémon it was.
