I got the badge and also got a free skill manual.
...!
Back in Asahi City.
Shigeru gathered his Pokémon together and examined the skill manual in his hand.
The elves were all looking at the skill manual in Shigeru's hand. They all knew the function of the skill manual: to learn new skills through it.
"Don't even think about it. This Poison Juggler is for Abandoned Monkey. It has a Fighting type, so it'll be tough to deal with Fairy-type Pokémon in the future. With Poison Juggler, it'll have a way to deal with them," said Gary.
"Miro!"
The abandoned monkey was very happy and immediately hopped over to Xiao Mao's side.
The other elves all had expressions that said, "You've found him."
"Don't be so happy. Do you know how to use skill manuals?" Xiao Mao asked.
"Miggle."
The abandoned monkey confidently shook its head, indicating that it didn't know how to use it.
"Then what are you so confident about?"
Xiao Mao had a headache. After evolving into Abandoned Monkey, Abandoned Monkey's personality became more confident. It was very confident in everything it did. Before, it had a fiery temper, but now it had a carefree attitude of taking life and death lightly and fighting if it disagreed with someone.
"Take out the manual, open it, and use your mind to sense the skills within," Xiao Mao explained.
"Miggle."
The abandoned monkey nodded.
"Take it."
The skill manual was handed to the Abandoned Monkey, who immediately opened it, held the manual in both hands, and began to sense the skills on it.
3...2...1!!
Three seconds later, the Abandoned Monkey opened its eyes, put down the manual, and was about to use its newly acquired skill. Its right fist was covered with a layer of liquid energy, which was the Poison Strike skill.
The other elves all looked on with envy.
"Bobball, come here for a second." Shigeru waved to the beakball again.
"Huh?" Does this mean he's trying to increase his strength?
With a question in mind, Zubat flew to Gary's side. Gary placed his hand on Zubat's head and taught Zubat the Sludge Bomb move.
"Thud!" The giant beak bat was startled, feeling overjoyed at the discovery that it had mastered a new skill.
"So, how's it going? You've mastered the new skill, haven't you?" Xiao Mao said.
"Da da!"
The giant bat was extremely grateful, and its body suddenly burst forth with a white light.
"Wow...it's evolved!"
Shigeru was surprised, but it was also expected. Zubat's friendship level was already high enough to evolve, but it hadn't evolved yet.
Surprisingly, after giving Zubat the Sludge Bomb, it actually evolved successfully.
As the light of evolution faded, a crossbat entirely purple appeared.
Crobats have two pairs of wings, one pair of large wings and one pair of small wings. After evolving, their ears become longer, like rabbit ears, allowing them to hear sounds from a greater distance.
The flight speed of the crossbow has also been greatly improved, and no wing flapping sound can be heard when the crossbow is flying.
"Miro!"
The Abandoned Monkey was shocked, not expecting that the Zubat would evolve after mastering the new skill. It should be noted that the Abandoned Monkey is type-advantageous against the Crobat, and the Crobat will become its number one enemy in future battles.
Chapter 81: The Hunting Ground
"Not bad!"
Shigeru nodded in satisfaction, then took a look at the evolved attributes of Crobat.
【Pokémon: Crossbat♂】
[Attributes: poison, flying]
【Level: 33】.
[Potential: Gym]
【Characteristic: Penetration (Can penetrate the opponent's barriers or substitutes to attack.)】
[Skills: Absorb, Ultrasonic Wave, Black Gaze, Venomous Fang, Cross-shaped Poison Blade, Air Blade, Life Steal.]
[Teacher's Skill: Sludge Bomb.]
【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】
【Item Required: Soothing Bell】
After Crobat evolves, it awakens the ability to suck blood.
Lifesteal is a Bug-type physical attack move with a power of 80, which looks good, but since it's a Bug-type move, it doesn't receive the corresponding attribute bonus.
In that case, in terms of power, life steal is not as powerful as a 60-power flying or poison-type skill.
However, it's not bad to awaken even one skill. At least it will give us a way to deal with Psychic-type Pokémon in the future.
"Scizor, come here." Gary beckoned to Scizor.
"twitter!"
Scizor was startled at first, but under the envious gazes of the other Pokémon, it immediately flashed to Gary's side.
First, it used a movebook on Abandoned Monkey, then helped Crobat evolve, and now it's its turn. Scizor feels it can at least learn a move for free.
Xiao Shiu had no intention of teaching Scizor any skills; Sludge Bomb was not a skill Scizor could learn.
Xiao Shi called Scizor over to help it improve its potential.
Scizor has a Mega Evolution form and potential to become an Elite Four member. Using the Copper Crown on a Pokémon with Elite Four potential is the most cost-effective option.
Moreover, Scizor has the ability to Mega Evolve, so this bronze crown is definitely meant for it.
Shigeru reached out and touched the Scizor's armor, using the Copper Crown on it.
【Pokémon: Scizor♂】
[Attributes: Bug, Steel]
【Level: 37】
[Potential: King]
[Trait: Master Technician (Increases the power of skills with a power of 60 or less by 50% when attacking.)]
[Skills: Glare, Lightning Flash, Combo Slash, Point Strike, Wing Attack, Cleave, Bullet Punch, Metal Claw, Shadow Clone, Iron, Air Slash.]
【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】
"twitter?"
The praying mantis was puzzled; it hadn't sensed anything.
"Alright," Xiao Mao said.
The Pokémon's potential is enhanced without any noticeable effect, which is why Scizor is so confused.
"Chirp..." The scyther slunk away, thinking it was because it couldn't master the skills taught by Professor Shigeru.
"Everyone, please come in."
After giving his Pokémon a boost, Gary went to the teleporter at the Pokémon Center and called Professor Oak's lab.
"Gary, you're really lucky to have caught a shiny Pokémon." Professor Oak started talking about Pokémon as soon as the call connected.
In the morning, Professor Oak was preparing lunch when he saw a Poké Ball being transported by the teleporter. Seeing that it was sent by Gary, he curiously opened it and was amazed to see the shiny Poké Ball. He was immediately impressed by his grandson's luck.
For an average trainer, catching even one shiny Pokémon in their lifetime is rare enough, but Gary managed to catch two.
"It's alright," Xiao Mao said.
"So, are you planning to breed this furry ball?"
Professor Oak just conducted a test on the Pokémon, and based on the data collected so far, its potential is only average.
Professor Oak had tested all of Gary's Pokémon, and they all had the potential to be Gym Leaders or higher. Suddenly, a Pokémon with the potential to be below Gym Leaders seemed out of place.
"Not for the time being."
Gary captured Pokémon simply to complete the tasks assigned by the system. After all, as a trainer, there's nothing wrong with capturing more Pokémon; he can just keep them as pets.
"Then I'll take care of Mooball for you for now and see what color it turns into when it evolves into Moro," Professor Oak said.
"Even if it's too much trouble for you, Grandpa, please help me recover Growlithe and Eevee. Oh, and Exeggutor needs to recover too," said Gary.
In order to challenge the Fuchsia Gym, Gary traded away his Scizor and Alakazam. Now that the challenge is over, he still needs to trade Growlithe and Eevee back.
"no problem."
Professor Oak went to the backyard of the research institute to get the Pokémon that Gary needed.
Gary teleported Alakazam, Forsaken, and Scizor over, and carried Growlithe, Eevee, and Exeggutor with him.
After bringing the Exeggutor back, Shigeru checked its level.
Exeggutor has also grown at Professor Oak's lab, currently at level 36, and has awakened the Grass-type recovery skill Photosynthesis.
Gary also taught Exeggutor the Sludge Bomb skill, deciding to keep Exeggutor with him for a while until he tamed Rhino, and then return Exeggutor to him.
...!
Day two.
Shigeru and Sabrina left Fuchsia City and went to the wilderness area on the outskirts of Fuchsia City, which is a famous hunting ground.
The Wild Area was originally a wild area. Because too many Pokémon were captured here in the past, the ecosystem was damaged, so it was protected. However, due to overprotection, the Pokémon breeding rate became excessive, and there were concerns that too many Pokémon would damage the ecosystem again.
Therefore, the Pokémon League established Safari Zones. In Safari Zones, it is forbidden to capture Pokémon by means of battle; they can only be captured using Safari Balls provided by the Safari Zone.
