Chapter 40: The Legend
"Pickup...... Skin? ”
As soon as Pikachu woke up, he received a [Energy Ball] in his face!
Although it was not directly seconded, because of the [photosynthesis] once before, the state of the coconut egg tree was almost intact, and at this time, it had the advantage of combat effectiveness, and finally defeated it after Pikachu's stubborn resistance.
"Ash's three Pokémon all lost, and Eminem won." Xiao Gang announced on the side.
"It's worthy of Eminem......," Ash said with emotion, and then ran towards the Pokémon Center in a hurry.
Eminem was about to ask him something, but he didn't have time, and Xiao Hao also chased after him at this time, leaving only Xiao Gang.
"Listen to Ash, you've only been traveling for more than a month, right? Sure enough, he is a very talented trainer. Xiao Gang exclaimed.
"No, the fluke factor is still very big." Eminem wasn't all modest.
It is true that in terms of theoretical combat effectiveness, Eminem's coconut egg tree has an advantage, but ......
Eminem reviewed it in his heart, and felt that he had mainly won in the hands of [Hypnotic Powder] and [Primordial Power].
If [Hypnotic Powder] didn't hit, didn't abolish Pikachu as soon as he came up, or Ash's third Pokémon, or hadn't been severely restrained by [Primal Power], I'm afraid there would still be a fight!
After all, Eminem made a serious mistake, that is, the moment when Miao Frog Grass took the [Flying Leaf Quick Knife]......
But Eminem still mutters about it.
"Ash's Wonderful Frog Seed...... No, it's Ash...... Does he have any special abilities? Eminem asked, confused.
Xiao Gang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he didn't hesitate for too long, and answered Eminem honestly: "I think there may be, but I'm not sure." ”
Eminem also already had his own judgment in his heart - what would improve the combat effectiveness of the Wonderful Frog Seed should be similar to the ability to raise the level in battle, similar to the power of Tokiwa.
However, if Eminem guessed correctly, this should only be useful for unevolved Pokémon, especially when facing their own evolutions!
As for the [Flying Leaf Blade]......
It could be the immature "Reversal Force" - a force that reverses the effect of attribute restraint!
Eminem didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately went to register briefly before Xiaoxia's urging, and then found a place to set up a tent.
"You can watch it for me out there!" After Xiaoxia prepared the bath bucket, she instructed Eminem.
"Oh." Eminem said without raising his head while writing a battle diary and analyzing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Xiaoxia came over and stabbed him, and then asked, "What did I just say?" ”
"You're done?" Eminem felt that time had passed a little faster.
Xiaoxia: ......
Seeing this, Xiaoxia didn't say much, directly grabbed Eminem, carried him to the door of her tent, and said, "Oh, you just sit here and write, and by the way, help me watch the door!" ”
This time, Eminem happily agreed.
……
When Xiaoxia came out, she found that Eminem had already written a full page.
After that, Eminem and Xiaoxia ate a "crafted" meal in a small restaurant in the lakeside campsite for a long time, and then rested for another night......
Starting the next day, Eminem accompanied Xiaoxia to the east shore of the lake where there were few people.
After Xiaoxia still chose a good location, she started fishing for Pokémon, while Eminem, who was not interested in aquatic Pokémon, was on the shore and continued to do Pokémon skill training.
On the first day of Pokémon fishing, Xiaoxia returned empty-handed, and on the second day, Xiaoxia found a seahorse with an "eye edge"!
Although it is called a "seahorse", it can also be caught in the lake.
After successfully subduing the "Ink Seahorse", Xiaoxia already has six Pokémon.
Of course, not six is enough, and there will definitely be some replacement in the future......
Even in league matches, players tend to rotate Pokémon in each round.
On the one hand, it is to target the opponent, and on the other hand, it is also to keep yourself from being targeted!
"Mohaima...... It seems to be still the [leisurely] characteristic? If you can evolve into a Thorn Dragon King, it's pretty powerful. Eminem congratulated Xiaoxia on the side who had just subdued the ink seahorse.
The second stage of the evolution of the Ink Seahorse is special.
The first time you evolve to the "Sea Thorn Dragon", you only need to grow to a certain level, about level 32 or 33 - although this level is not low, just growing can promote evolution, which is the most basic way of evolution.
However, the second stage of evolution is more troublesome, and [Dragon Scales] is also needed.
"Well, it looks like you'll have to pay attention to the [Dragon Scales] in the future." Xiaoxia said confidently.
It's as if her ink seahorse has evolved.
In fact, the evolution of this kind of special props is more difficult than carrying various evolution stones.
Of course, it's not like in the game, you have to exchange the [Dragon Scale] for Pokémon in order to evolve......
In the real world of Pokémon, there are no Pokémon that must be exchanged in order to evolve.
Just like the [Leaf Stone], carry the [Dragon Scales] to the "Sea Thorn Dragon", and then as it grows, there is a chance to trigger evolution.
As for the [Dragon Scales], it is a dragon-type Pokémon, and the scales that have faded - they can't just be dropped, they must be faded, and they generally have to be very strong Dragon-type Pokémon, and when they grow nodes, they will fade off the effective [Dragon Scales]. (Note 1)
"If you want to use it for the Sea Thorn Dragon, it's best to use the [Dragon Scales] from the Thorn Dragon King." Eminem reminded.
"I know...... When you get to the coastal city of Dongguandu, there should be some sales, and Hualan City will definitely have them. "Xiaoxia is a native of Hualan City, of course she understands.
Hualan City is close to the Hualan Strait and directly connected to the sea, and the production of various water-based Pokémon supplies is the most.
If it doesn't evolve, the ability of the "Sea Thorn Dragon" will be relatively average.
Not only is the race value average, but also ...... The [Leisurely] trait of the Ink Seahorse, after evolving into the [Sea Thorn Dragon], will evolve into the [Stinger] trait, and only by evolving to the [Sea Thorn Dragon] can it evolve back to [Leisurely Swimming] again, this trait is still quite crucial!
And from the perspective of combat, whether it is [Sea Thorn Dragon] or [Thorn Dragon King], it is a greater field advantage in the water, but ...... [Thorn Dragon King] is on land, the weakening will be smaller.
After all, in addition to the water element, the [Thorn Dragon King] also has the dragon attribute, and is better at moving on the ground with rolled up lower limbs than the [Sea Thorn Dragon].
It was getting late, and the two of them talked as they returned to the camping area.
"How's the progress of their skill learning?" Xiaoxia asked Eminem instead.
In the past two days, Miao Frog Grass has also become completely proficient in [Energy Ball] and began to practice [Hypnotic Powder] and [Parasitic Seed].
These two skills, in Eminem's opinion, are more practical......
Nidolino's progress in learning [100,000 volts] is not too smooth, after all, it is suddenly asked to learn special attack skills, or non-departmental, which is a situation that is extremely difficult to learn, but fortunately, there is a naughty thunder bullet to teach it, and if you watch the tutorial yourself, Eminem doesn't have much hope.
"It's a pity that I can't learn it either, otherwise I really want to learn it for them." Eminem sighed.
Eminem, who can "ghost on his body", sometimes thinks that it would be nice if he could learn skills by himself, and then directly teaches Pokémon with animal senses......
"Poof, how can a human learn Pokémon skills." Xiaoxia laughed at Eminem's whimsy.
But at this moment, Xiao Gang, who happened to meet next to the camping area, heard this and said, "Humans learn Pokémon skills? It seems that there is such a legend......"
When Eminem and Xiaoxia heard this, they looked at it curiously.
Xiao Gang recalled: "I remember that in the Galar region, there was a similar legend...... It's like there's some kind of wizarding school or something, and it sends letters to gifted people inviting them to enroll. That's right! It is said that many years ago, there was also a strong wizard who returned to the Johto area after completing his studies in Galel, and made some cards......"
"That kind of legend, just listen to it." When Xiaoxia heard this, she said with white eyes on the side.

Note 1: Compared to the game, there is no such thing as "connection evolution" in Pokémon evolution in this world, that is, the magical phenomenon of evolution after exchanging Pokémon, which is not available in this world.
After transferring a Pokémon, it will generally have a negative effect, and it may even cause the Pokémon to break free from the Pokémon Ball and leave on its own.
In the setting of this book, there are more situations where "props" are needed than in the game.
Not only do you need various "Evolution Stones", such as the Pokémon that "Swap Evolve" in the game, but they also need items in this world.
Some are also needed in the game, such as the "King's Certificate" needed by the Dull King, and some were not available in the game, such as Hudi needed the "Spirit Spoon".
Most of the evolution materials required are the output of other Pokémon, such as the Hippopotamus that needs the shell of the big-tongued shell.
