"It's OK." Gary didn't fight with Rhydon, but just persuaded Rhydon in advance with his words. They still had to continue fighting later.
"Which Pokémon are you going to send over?" Professor Oak asked.
"Crobat." Gary said.
"Crobat...! Your Golbat has evolved."
"Yes."
"Okay, I just want to study how loud the sound of Crobat's wings can be when it is flying. Please send it over quickly."
So, Gary sent Crobat to Professor Oak's Laboratory and got Rhydon from Professor Oak.
Gary picked up the Safari Ball and took a look at Rhydon's Attributes first.
[Pokémon: Rhydon♂]
[Attribute: Ground, Rock]
[Level: 45]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: Lightning Rod (Attracts Electric Type moves to itself, does not take damage, but increases Special Attack.)]
[Skills: Tackle, Bulldoze, Smack Down, Horn Attack, Stomp, Rock Critical Hit, Drill Run, Take Down, Hammer. ]
[Intimacy: 115 (max value 255)]
"Why is it a Lightning Rod Ability…"
This Rhydon has good data in all aspects, but the Ability is a bit weak. Ground Pokémon itself is immune to Electric Type moves. After the Lightning Rod absorbs electricity, it can enhance Special Attack. Rhydon is a physical attack type fighter with extremely low Special Attack ability.
Fortunately, the Pokémon company was able to develop Ability Capsule later, so there is no need to worry too much about this Ability.
" Sabrina, do you want to watch my fight with Rhydon?" Gary asked.
"No, you guys fight, I need to take care of Eevee." Sabrina said.
Sabrina's Eevee has now reached level 26. Because she wants Eevee to evolve into a sun Pokémon, Sabrina will keep an eye on Eevee during the day.
"Okay, I'll go out then."
Gary waved his hand, went outside the Safari Zone, found an open space, and released Rhydon.
"Roar!" Rhydon looked at the surrounding environment, then looked at Gary, signaling Gary to release the Pokémon quickly.
"Don't worry, my strength won't let you down." Gary took the Pokémon on his belt and threw it out gently.
Great!
"Blastoise!"
Blastoise appeared from the Poké Ball.
"Roar!!"
Rhydon immediately became alert. Although it had never fought with Blastoise before, it also felt the thick water vapor on Blastoise's body. It must be a water Pokémon.
A Pokémon that can grow to level 45 in the wild has naturally encountered Pokémon that restrain it and knows what its weaknesses are.
"Rhydon, do you still want to fight?" Gary asked.
"Roar!!"
Rhydon roared, how could he be afraid of fighting just because Rival restrained him.
A piece of Rock condensed in front of Rhydon, and then Rhydon raised the Rock with one hand and threw it at Blastoise.
"Flash Cannon!"
Blastoise's two barrels shot out two silver beams, instantly defeating the Rock and shooting at Rhydon, with excellent results, but Rhydon still relied on his super high physical defense to resist the damage.
"Roar!!"
Rhydon roared, and the drill on his forehead Rapid Spin up, rushing straight at him.
"You are brave, but it's a pity that this won't work." Gary praised secretly, and then ordered: "Hydro Pump!"
"Blastoise!"
Bang! Bang!
Blastoise's two barrels fired Hydro Pumps, and two water jets burst out, instantly forcing Rhydon back and flying more than ten meters away before stopping.
After being hit by the water bubble, Rhydon instantly lost consciousness.
Not counting the four times weak water-type moves, the special defense is also very low, and water-type Pokémon is Rhydon's biggest nemesis.
In the battle between the two sides, the scales of victory were tilted towards Blastoise from the beginning.
BlastoiseLV41-42!
Blastoise's level was also increased by 1 level at this moment.
"Come in."
Gary took Blastoise and Rhydon back and came to the lobby of the Safari Zone. Assist's treatment equipment here treated Rhydon.
After that, he came outside and released Rhydon.
"Roar...!" After a battle, Rhydon also kept his promise and agreed to become Gary's Pokémon.
"I'll take good care of you in the future. You can carry this first." Gary took out the Soothe Bell.
Rhydon didn't know what this thing was, so he followed Gary's instructions and put Soothe Bell into the carrying space.
Then, Gary put his palm on Rhydon and taught him Thunderbolt, Stone Edge, and Mega Kick.
"Roar!!!"
Rhydon was shocked to suddenly master three new skills, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"I said I would help you become stronger, now you believe it." Gary smiled.
"Roar!!"
Rhydon nodded frantically.
If you had said you had this ability earlier, would you still have to fight?
Although Rhydon was taught three skills, Thunderbolt was not very useful because it was a special attack skill. Even if Rhydon used it, the damage it caused was not great.
However, Rhydon's skill pool is very wide. He can learn skills of reverse attributes, and even Hydro Pump, Ice Punch, Blizzard and other skills can be mastered.
"Work hard, and I will let you evolve after a while." Gary said.
Originally, Gary wanted to quickly evolve Rhydon into a Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, but he remembered that the task released by the system required him to capture and breed Rhydon, and it didn't say that it was a Super Iron Tyrannosaurus.
If it evolved early, the task would be considered unfinished, and he would have to get a new Rhydon.
So before the task was completed, Gary was not in a hurry to evolve Rhydon.
"Roar!"
Rhydon nodded, indicating that he would definitely work hard to train.
"Hehe, come in and rest." Gary smiled and took Rhydon back to the Poké Ball.
"Next, it's Pidegeotto's turn."
The Green Team only had Arcanine and Pidgeot left.
Growlithe can evolve into Arcanine at any time. Pidegeotto is currently level 32, 4 levels away from the evolution level.
Before challenging the Gym, Gary planned to breed the Pokémon he had, especially Pidegeotto, Growlithe and Eevee.
Growlithe and Eevee were too far behind the team in level, so they had to be trained strictly.
A week later.
Gary and Sabrina came to River City.
River City is a small city in Kanto Region, surrounded by dense forests, which is very suitable for Bug Type Pokémon to live.
Gary and Sabrina can come here because there is a gym in River City.
In a week, Gary's Pokémon have grown to a certain extent.
BlastoiseLV42-43!
ExeggutorLV36-38!
PidegeottoLV32-33!
GrowlitheLV25-30!
EeveeLV25-30!
