Since it was getting late, Boss Gao decided with Lin Fan that they would stay the night before bringing all these other seekers back with them.

The mission that they had taken had a week long deadline, so it wouldn't matter if they stayed one night. ​​

For Lin Fan, he had already told his parents that he might not be coming home, so there was nothing to worry about, but what he didn't know was that there was someone who wanted to kill him for staying out so late. It really made them wish they could trap him in their room forever.

While everyone else was settling in for the night, Lin Fan secretly snuck off.

In the late afternoon, while everyone else had been setting up camp, Lin Fan had secretly sent out Xiao Huo to find something for him. It had taken this long for it to find what Lin Fan wanted, but it had done it.

Lin Fan travelled several kilometers on the back of Xiao Huo until he reached this cliff overhanging a forest.

Xiao Huo landed at the bottom of the cliff, near the top of the tree line. After landing he used his wing to point out which cave the Brain Vine was hiding in.

Lin Fan couldn't use his spiritual sense to check whether the Brain Vine was inside the cave or not since that would immediately expose him.

He still remembered what had happened last time when he tried to clash spiritual senses with the Brain Vine, he actually had actually been on the losing side!

Lin Fan stayed there on that ledge for a bit as he had Xiao Huo explore around to see if there were any other caves that might be entrances to this cave.

There didn't seem to be any other caves in this area, so Lin Fan knew that his chance was here.

Lin Fan took out the new item he had received from the system out.

When he had found the QIlin Bone and taken it in his hand, the system had given him a notification that he had completed his task, therefore it had given him a reward.

The reward that he had received for this task was a Monster Ball, which had a 100% chance of catching all beasts at or below the Silver Realm.

The minute he took out the Monster Ball, Lin Fan really had to close his eyes and rub them to make sure there wasn't something wrong.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was already in a different world, he would have thought that he was in the world of Pokémon, since what had appeared in his hand was an exact copy of a masterball…

There was even a large M that was on the center of the ball...

Did this mean that he had to throw out this ball whenever he wanted to summon the pet he caught? Did he suddenly enter the world of professional Pokémon training?

But his excited thoughts were soon crushed by the system.

"Host, the Monster Ball is only used to capture beasts. Then the beasts are stored like normal in the host's pet space."

There went his dreams of turning his hat around and saying "I choose you".

After this tiny interlude in his thoughts, Lin Fan readied himself.

He went into the cave alone since any one of his pets would be radiating their ancient beast bloodline aura, so he wouldn't be able to sneak up on the Brain Vine.

Moving carefully along the walls, Lin Fan moved deeper and deeper into the cave until he came onto a nest in the center where there was a vine snake coiled up.

The vine snake seemed to be asleep, but the moment that Lin Fan passed a certain point, it immediately opened its eyes and spat out a seed.

The Brain Vine had expected this already, so it had laid its traps down. There were seeds that had been embedded into the walls of the cave and the moment the Brain Vine spat out that seed, it caused the other seeds to dislodge and fall down at Lin Fan. The moment the seed spat out touched one of the seeds, there was a chain reaction as all the various seeds that one seed exploded.

But of course Lin Fan had expected this after seeing it last time, so he immediately called out Xiao Huo who exploded with flames that clashed with the flames of the explosion. The two clouds of flames from the explosions matched each other in intensity, cancelling each other out. Xiao Huo had also manipulated his flames to create a path in the flames of the seed explosion for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had charged forward the moment the seeds had exploded, running straight down the path that Xiao Huo created without stopping for a single second.

The Brain Vine saw that Lin Fan was charging right through its explosion and panicked, trying to quickly run away, but it didn't get a chance.

Before the Brain Vine could even turn around to run, Lin Fan had already thrown the Monster Ball at the Brain Vine.

The Monster Ball seemed like it was locked onto the Brain Vine as it created a perfect arc in the air, landing right on top of the Brain Vine's head.

As soon as it touched the Brain Vine, the ball opened and a white light came out to trap the Brain Vine before pulling it into the ball.

Once that was over, the Monster Ball fell onto the ground and began shaking while the light in the middle kept blinking.

After it shook three times, the blinking had stopped and the ball became still.

Lin Fan's face turned dark at the sight of this and he couldn't help saying, "System, are you sure we're not going to get sued for copyrighting Poke…"

Before he could finish, the system had cut him off.

"Host, please don't doubt this system's integrity. First warning."

Lin Fan felt like there was nothing else to do except wait for the lawyers to break down the door.

Once the ball had calmed down, Lin Fan walked over to pick it up, but the moment his finger touched the ball, it turned into a ball of light that disappeared into his chest.

When he concentrated, Lin Fan could feel that there was something else inside his pet space other than the three pets he already owned.

With a thought, the Brain Vine came out of the pet space, but it was completely different from how it acted before. After being tamed by the Monster Ball, it became much more friendly towards Lin Fan, nuzzling its head against Lin Fan's leg.

Now that Lin Fan could take a closer look at it, he really thought that it was cute. It looked very much like a starter Pokemon that he quite liked back on earth which had also been a green serpent.

Lin Fan picked it up and rubbed the Brain Vine's head much to its delight, as it rubbed its head against his palm.

After playing around with it for a bit, Lin Fan said, "Well, now that you're with me I should really think of a name for you. Since you are a Brain Vine, how about calling you Brainy?"

The Brain Vine was excited when it heard it would be getting a name, but the moment it heard the name it received, it facepalmed itself.

Lin Fan was quite surprised by this action, it meant that the Brain Vine could actually understand him completely instead of just understanding the gist of his words like the other pets.

Lin Fan asked, "You can understand what I'm saying?"

Brainy nodded before gesturing to show that it didn't like its new name, but it was too bad for Brainy since Lin Fan quite liked the name. He even thought that he was quite a genius for thinking of such a "perfect" name.

Now that that had been settled, Lin Fan decided to look at the status panel that the system had generated for Brainy.

Brain Vine (Young)

Name: Brainy

Grade: Rare (Single Mutation)

Cultivation: Silver 3

Bloodline: Queen of Knowledge

Skills: Parasite Seeds, Vine Lash, Super Intelligence, Explosive Seeds, Mind Split, Telekinesis.

Combat Strength: 45.3

System's comments: Meh, not worth mentioning.

"Queen of Knowledge? What is this bloodline?" Lin Fan was surprised by Brainy's status, it was a bloodline that he had never heard of before.

However, even after searching it up in his watch, he still couldn't find this bloodline, so he decided to forget about it for now.

It was just like Angela's bloodline, he couldn't find any information about it, which meant that it had to be something that was past the standards of this world.

After he had finished his side task, Lin Fan called the Brain Vine back into his pet space and returned back to camp.
