"Both Feebas and Magikarp are classified as Fish Pokémon, and they share one trait."
"In their base form, they're all very weak, or... not just weak."
Alex stared at Feebas, which looked extremely unflattering on the Pokémon Pokédex.
"But Boss, didn't you say that there is no real weak Pokémon in the world, only weak Trainers?" Ryan asked suspiciously.
Alex: "..."
Is this guy here to mess things up? Did you have to break it down like that?
Alex looked at Ryan with a strange expression, realizing that sentence was just a bit of motivational talk.
What he meant by that sentence was to encourage Ryan and the others not to choose Pokémon based solely on power comparisons.
Ryan doesn't really think there are no weak Pokémon, does he?
Jack's eyelids twitched slightly, and he glanced at Ryan speechlessly, wondering why he suddenly lost his EQ.
"Did I say something wrong..." Ryan asked, realizing his mistake and offering an embarrassed, shy smile.
"No, it's not wrong, it's just that Magikarp and Feebas are special," Alex explained with a smile.
"Magikarp is known as the weakest and most pitiful Pokémon, because throughout its life, no matter how hard a Trainer tries, it's hard to improve its strength."
"But Magikarp has a very tenacious survival habit, and it can survive in any kind of water, even polluted."
"The same goes for Feebas and Magikarp. Feebas likes to live at the bottom of rivers rich in water and grass, but even in dirty rivers, Feebas can survive."
Magikarp is indeed an extremely weak Pokémon because if it doesn't evolve, Magikarp can only learn five moves in its life!
Yes, just five, not even egg moves!
And after training, Magikarp's Bounce power can indeed become stronger and stronger, but its ultimate power is limited because of Magikarp's own limitations.
Feebas is indeed better than Magikarp because Feebas can at least learn a lot more moves than Magikarp.
But the power of its moves is almost the same as that of Magikarp, and the two really belong to the 'crouching dragon and phoenix' in Pokémon.
On the Pokémon Pokédex, Magikarp was voted 'the world's weakest and poorest,' while Feebas was voted the 'world's ugliest.'
Both fish are classified as the same Fish Pokémon.
"So Feebas, will it become very strong after evolution?" Bella asked curiously.
"Yeah, Feebas, no matter how hard you try to train it, it's powerless to show its full potential."
"But all the efforts are not meaningless. After evolution, all these efforts will be rewarded when it becomes Milotic."
"Feebas was even rated as the ugliest Pokémon in the world, but Feebas' evolved form, Milotic, was once named the most beautiful Pokémon in the world."
Alex smiled and replied, yes, Milotic was indeed once rated as the most beautiful in the world.
However, after the appearance of Diancie in the Kalos Region, the title of the most beautiful in the world has gone to Diancie.
Hearing these words, the group was stunned.
"The world's ugliest evolving into the world's most beautiful? That's really interesting," Jack raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"As I said before, there is no weak Pokémon in the world, as long as you are willing to invest time and care, Pokémon will reciprocate your expectations one day."
This sentence is still essentially motivational advice...
Alex looked at Bella, who seemed moved because Magikarp is the Pokémon with the largest population in the Pokémon world!
Magikarp can be seen everywhere in rivers, lakes, seas, and even streams and ditches. Feebas may not be as widespread as Magikarp, but it's still abundant.
However, the Pokémon Diamond Pokédex clearly mentions that the number of Feebas is actually quite large!
Yes, quite large!
While wild Gyarados are fairly common in the Pokémon world, the number of Gyarados in the wild is minuscule compared to the total number of Magikarp.
And Milotic? The number of Milotic is rare enough to be considered a rare species, making it difficult to spot a wild Milotic.
However, the Feebas provided by the system has no problem with its aptitude and talent, and it definitely has the potential to evolve into Milotic, depending on Bella's training.
"Once rated as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world..." Bella was indeed moved.
Since this is what the boss said, it should be true.
"Boss, I want Feebas." Bella made a decision.
She was very curious about what Feebas' evolutionary form, Milotic, looked like, and the name Milotic sounded so beautiful!
"Please wait."
Not too surprised, Alex replied and walked to the back room.
Soon, Alex returned with a small bucket.
No way around it, Feebas is a fish...
"Hey~ it really doesn't look good."
Chloe stepped forward for the first time, looked at Feebas sitting quietly in the water in the bucket, and complained inwardly.
The appearance is almost the same as the one on the Pokédex, or in reality, it is even more underwhelming.
"Beep~ Feebas, Water Type, Fish Pokémon
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Splash, Dragon Breath
Known as the ugliest Pokémon, Feebas is recognized for its shabby appearance. Despite being numerous, they tend to live in groups."
The Pokémon Pokédex slowly introduced Feebas's details in an electronic synth voice.
Jack and the others also silently recorded Feebas with their Pokédex.
"It has inherited a dragon-type move, Miss Bella must cultivate it well." Alex said to Bella.
"Since I've decided to capture it, I will definitely treat it well."
Bella nodded lightly, then walked to the bucket and stared at Feebas in the water with her eyes.
"I'll be your Trainer from now on, Feebas, let's work together."
Looking at Feebas for a while, Bella smiled and spoke warmly to Feebas.
Gulp~
A bubble rose from the bottom of the water, and Feebas's head emerged from the water, its dull eyes fixed on Bella.
"I will let you evolve as soon as possible, definitely."
After hesitating for a while, Bella reached out and gently stroked Feebas's head, assuring it in a warm voice.
Feeling the touch on its body, Feebas froze for a moment, then silently buried its head in the water to hide itself.
But it was obvious that Feebas in the water was still staring at Bella.
"It seems to be shy; it must be a very shy Feebas."
Alex smiled at the puzzled Bella.
Hearing Alex's explanation, the corners of Bella's mouth raised slightly. Although Feebas was a bit awkward, it was really cute.
