"Gary, when do you plan to challenge the gym?" Sabrina asked Gary when he planned to challenge the gym when they arrived at the Pokémon Center.
Gary has collected 7 badges so far. As long as he gets one more badge, he will be eligible to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference.
"No hurry, let's train for a while first." Gary said.
It's not that Gary wants to train, but Gary is particularly concerned about the movements in Dasha Valley.
According to the original plot, ancient Pokémon survived underground in Dasha Valley. Gary planned to capture Aerodactyl, but he might not be able to find it now.
Because those ancient Pokémon were buried underground, the surface was very thick, and it was difficult to find the explosion site under normal circumstances. However, the Rocket trio accidentally found the best explosion site and blew out a passage underground.
So Gary wanted to wait here until Ash and the others arrived at Dasha Valley, and then he would go there. There are several roads leading to Dasha Valley, and Dasha Valley can also be reached from River City.
"Okay."
Sabrina had no objection. She also wanted to train Eevee and evolve Eevee into a sun Pokémon as soon as possible.
Ten days of special training in River City.
The Pokémon on hand have grown a lot.
Blastoise LV43-44!
Exeggutor LV38-39!
Growlithe LV30-31!
Pidegeotto LV33-35!
Eevee LV30-32!
Rhydon LV45-46!
All Pokémon have grown. It can be seen that the potential is also related to the growth rate of Pokémon level.
Blastoise with champion potential is different. It can basically upgrade 1 level in seven days.
Rhydon with quasi-elite potential only upgrades 1 level in half a month.
The upgrade speed of Pokémon with quasi-elite potential is slightly sluggish after level 30, and it is even more obvious after level 40.
"Growlithe, come here." Gary waved at Growlithe who was training.
"Woof!"
Growlithe immediately ran over and stuck out his tongue at Gary, looking silly.
"It's time for you to evolve." Gary said.
"Woof!\(^o^)/~Woof!!"
Growlithe jumped up happily. It had waited for a long time to evolve. It was finally no longer the smallest one in the team.
"Here, this is the evolution stone." Gary took out the top-quality Fire Stone he had prepared before and handed it to Growlithe.
Growlithe held the top-quality Fire Stone in his mouth. The next moment, a hot breath burst out from the Kaidi dog, and the whole body radiated incandescent light. Growlithe's body grew rapidly in the light of evolution. It was very tall and reached Gary's height, a head taller than Gary.
The light of evolution faded, and Arcanine appeared with a majestic posture. It had fluffy flaxen mane, tiger-like hair on its body, hair around its feet, and a long tail. When running, its body seemed to merge with the wind. It was worthy of being the most contested land mount.
Although Arcanine's potential was a little low, Gary still liked it very much. After all, he liked Arcanine very much in his previous life.
Gary also took a look at the attributes of Arcanine after evolution.
[Pokémon: Arcanine♂]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Level: 31]
[Potential: Gym]
[Ability: Intimidate (Intimidate Rival when appearing, make it retreat, and reduce Rival's attack.)]
[Skills: Leer, Ember, Odor Sleuth, Flame Wheel, Agility, Crunch, Flamethrower, Extrreme Speed. ]
[Intimacy: 255 (full value 255)]
"Not bad, the Extrreme Speed skill has been awakened." Gary nodded with satisfaction.
After using the top-quality evolution stone, Arcanine's potential has only reached the gym. Perhaps because of its low potential, it has awakened fewer skills during the Growlithe period.
Gary also taught Arcanine the Solar Skill, allowing it to have the skills to deal with Water, Ground, and Rock Pokémon.
"Pidegeotto, come here."
Growlithe has evolved, and it's Pidegeotto's turn next.
Pidegeotto flew over immediately.
Pidegeotto knew that he could evolve, but not by evolution stone, but Gary called it over, and Pidegeotto thought it might be teaching him new skills.
Gary reached out and placed his hand on Pidegeotto's soft feathers, and used a mid-level Rare Candy on it.
PidegeottoLV35-36!
The level was immediately increased by 1 level.
"Pidegeotto!"
Pidegeotto immediately felt the cells in his body bursting with powerful energy, and the light of evolution shone all over his body.
His body began to grow, and soon reached Gary's height.
His body was more than twice as big as before, and the feathers on his head became longer, almost touching his tail feathers.
When the light of evolution faded, a majestic Pidgeot appeared in front of Gary.
[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been sent to the space backpack. ]
The surrounding Pokémon, except Blastoise, were shocked, because other Pokémon evolved mostly by props, and Pidegeotto evolved just by being touched by Gary, which was too scary.
Among the Pokémon present, only Blastoise had experienced it once, and it seemed very calm.
Gary touched Pidgeot's wings and checked the attributes after evolution.
[Pokémon: Pidgeot♂]
[Attribute: Normal, Flying]
[Level: 36]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: keen look (the hit rate will not be reduced.)]
[Skills: Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust, Quick Attack, Twister, Feather Dance, Wing Attack, Heat Wave. ]
[Intimacy: 255 (max value 255)]
[Carried Items: Soothe Bell]
"Not bad, it actually awakened the Heat Wave skill."
Pidgeot can awaken the Heat Wave skill, but it all depends on luck. The Heat Wave skill is very helpful for Mega Pidgeot.
"Let's improve the potential."
Pidgeot has a Mega Evolution form after all. Gary consumes a bronze crown to increase its potential to Elite.
Now there are 1 bronze crown, 1 silver crown, and 1 Gold Bottle Cap each for items that increase the potential of Pokémon.
Gold Bottle Cap can make Pokémon with champion potential reach the quasi-legendary level. Gary is thinking about whether to use it directly on Blastoise.
Gold Bottle Cap can also be used on Pokémon with low potential, but the cost performance is too low. Gary only has one Pokémon with champion potential, Blastoise.
After hesitating for a moment, Gary walked to Blastoise, put his hand on his shoulder, and used the Gold Bottle Cap in the space backpack to make Blastoise's potential reach the quasi-legendary level.
Gary kept the remaining bronze crown and silver crown for the time being.
"Arcanine, Pidgeot, get familiar with your new body in the afternoon. I will use you two to challenge the gym tomorrow." Gary said.
"Pidgeot!!"
"Woof!!"
Pidgeot and Arcanine nodded. They must adapt to their new body in the afternoon. After all, their body size has become larger and their abilities in all aspects have been strengthened.
