"At this moment, it would be great to have a Spinarak or a Grass-type Pokémon." Spinarak could directly use String Shot on the egg. A Grass-type Pokémon could use Vine Whip to firmly entangle the egg a few times, then pull it up.

Aron saw Qing Wu's difficulty and rushed out of its Poké Ball. It stomped its small foot on the ground, and the stone pillar holding the Pokémon Egg rose little by little, as if it had grown horns.

At this moment, Aron was very nervous, fearing that with one wrong move, the Pokémon Egg would directly fall into the magma, forever separated from them. However, Aron applied its Rock-type skills very steadily, and the Torchic's Pokémon Egg eventually rose in front of Qing Wu, who quickly embraced it.

"Success!" Qing Wu rejoiced. With this extraordinarily talented Torchic, he estimated that he would soon be able to return to Elite Four level.

Qing Wu was also contemplating something: his overt and covert identities. Currently, Qing Wu had four Pokémon: Aron, Zubat, Squirtle, and the Torchic's egg. Aron was probably exposed, but Squirtle and Torchic were not. These could completely serve as his overt identity, his identity within the Alliance. He also had a breeding house left by his parents in the Hoenn region. Although it was dilapidated, it still covered several hundred acres and was looked after by his parents' Pokémon, Gallade and Gardevoir.

Therefore, Qing Wu needed to find as many high-potential Pokémon as possible, which would help him continue to support the breeding house. Qing Wu planned to put the yellow-potential Pokémon Eggs directly into the breeding house for cultivation if possible. In a Pokémon world where red potential was common and orange potential was emerging, yellow potential Pokémon were almost the best Pokémon Trainers could get their hands on.

However, in his previous life, Qing Wu had found the Pokémon breeding manual left by his parents. With this Pokémon breeding manual, Qing Wu had, through his own research, also become a renowned breeding master.

If he were to choose the Team Rocket identity, he would basically have to choose Poison-type, Dark-type, and Ghost-type Pokémon. This was because Poison-type, Dark-type, and Ghost-type Pokémon were the most common in Team Rocket's training bases, so the resources available for them were also the most abundant.

Qing Wu took out a white cloth and carefully wiped the Torchic's egg clean. The Torchic's egg was covered in volcanic ash, which would affect Torchic's hatching. When Qing Wu returned to the Team Rocket trial base, Qing Wu planned to ask Commander Dazuo to get him a Pokémon hatching device. Qing Wu intended to concoct his own nutrient solution to successfully hatch Torchic.

Although Torchic currently showed light blue potential, if provided with the highest quality nutrient solution before hatching, its potential might even shed the "light" and become green potential.

Qing Wu carefully wrapped the Torchic's Pokémon Egg and placed it in his spatial backpack. Next, with Zubat's help, Qing Wu successfully reached the opposite bank of the Flame Cave.

Just now, Qing Wu saw a red glow flash in the distance. Since he had already entered this cave and hypnotized all the Magcargo, Qing Wu was determined to thoroughly loot all the good stuff.

When Qing Wu's feet touched the ground, he realized the temperature here was extremely high, like walking on a scorching hot beach. The further Qing Wu walked, the more intense the disturbance became, and a sensation of scorching heat and dryness flashed through Qing Wu's mind.

Before Qing Wu even noticed any change, the symbol of the Omega Ruby faintly appeared on the back of his hand. Qing Wu seemed to vaguely feel a summons. Following this summons, Qing Wu walked to the other side of the Flame Cave. Here, Qing Wu saw a Magmar lying nearby, snoring. On the cave wall next to it, a burning orb radiating golden light was embedded.

"This is a Flame Orb!" Qing Wu's eyes could hardly move. This was a super treasure!!! Looking at its quality, it was clearly a top-tier Flame Orb, second only to legendary resources. Pokémon that held a Flame Orb for a long time would one hundred percent increase their potential, it was a super treasure!

In the Pokémon world, treasures are divided into six levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, top-tier, legendary resource, and mythical resource. The others are easy to understand. Legendary resources refer to resources that even legendary Pokémon rely on, resources that help them improve, such as the unfrozen ice that has existed for billions of years. Legendary resources also have another origin: they come from legendary Pokémon themselves, such as Moltres's flames or Latias's condensed Soul Dew.

As for mythical resources, those are treasures created by Legendary Pokémon, the most famous of which are Groudon's Omega Ruby and Kyogre's Alpha Sapphire, which Qing Wu had been ordered by Archie in his previous life to snatch from Mt. Pyre.

"I was just wondering how to train Torchic," Qing Wu licked his lips. He absolutely had to get this Flame Orb, so he had to defeat this Magmar.

[Pokémon: Magmar (Deep Green)]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: 30]

[Type: Fire]

[Ability: Flame Body]

[Basic Skills: Ember, Leer, Smokescreen, Clear Smog, Flame Wheel, Fire Spin, Fire Blast.]

[Inherited Skills: None.]

[Taught Skills: Flamethrower, Fire Punch.]

It's actually a deep green potential Pokémon. Indeed, after living under the Flame Orb for so long, how could its potential be bad? Qing Wu would not let go of this deep green potential Magmar. Whether for his own future training or for exchanging for points, this Magmar had considerable value. Qing Wu would definitely train Magmar well and squeeze out its last bit of value.

After all, Magmar's evolved form, Magmortar, also had a base stat total of 540, which was 5 points higher than the average starter Pokémon. Otherwise, Qing Wu could also use this Magmar directly as a seed for breeding the next generation of Fire-type Pokémon, ensuring that the next generation of Fire-type Pokémon born would have good potential.

Moreover, capturing this Magmar had another benefit: letting this local 'tycoon' guide him in excavating the hidden treasures of this Flame Cave.

Of course, the first step Qing Wu took wasn't to wake this snoring Magmar, but to first pry the Flame Orb off the cave wall. Otherwise, the Flame Orb could give this Magmar a huge boost, and Qing Wu would be at a significant disadvantage.

The activated Flame Orb had a temperature of up to 2000 degrees. Sending Zubat's tiny arms and legs to pry the Flame Orb would be like telling it to jump directly into magma; it would die faster that way. Fortunately, Commander Dazuo's backpack also contained heat-resistant gloves. Qing Wu didn't know how Commander Dazuo collected such strange items.

Qing Wu and Zubat cautiously tiptoed past Magmar, secretly using the heat-resistant gloves to endure the high temperature and pry the Flame Orb from the cave. The Flame Orb was hanging on the wall of the Flame Cave, continuously absorbing the temperature of the magma and converting it into thermal energy. The temperature of the Flame Orb also affected the temperature inside the cave. The temperature in this cave was nearly 80 degrees Celsius, making Qing Wu sweat profusely from the heat. If Zubat hadn't used Tail Wind to create an air armor around Qing Wu, blocking the heat, Qing Wu would probably have been cooked.

The heat from the Flame Orb that was pried from the cave wall gradually dissipated. After it cooled to normal temperature, Qing Wu stored the Flame Orb in a wooden box specially designed for treasures. After placing the Flame Orb in the wooden box, Qing Wu also received it into his wristband. After the Flame Orb was gone, the heat in the cave immediately dropped.

The snoring Magmar suddenly felt that something very important to it was missing, which jolted it awake from its dream.

ε=ε=ε=(#D)? My Flame Orb is gone!

At this moment, it saw Qing Wu and Zubat stealthily walking towards the cave entrance, and immediately understood that the Flame Orb had been stolen by this little thief. The enraged Magmar opened its mouth wide, and a fire dragon surged forth, even igniting the entire Flame Cave.
