"Not bad, three skills have been awakened."
Xiao Mao was very surprised.
After evolving, Blastoise awakened three new moves. Is this the terrifying potential of a Champion Pokémon?
The skill "Break Shell" should be awakened when Wartortle levels up.
Only Cannon and Hydro Pump are awakened when Blastoise evolves into it. Basically, when Wartortle evolves into Blastoise, it will definitely awaken the Hydro Pump move, which is Blastoise's signature move.
"Let's go back and get used to our new bodies."
Gary recalled Blastoise into its Poké Ball and rode his mountain bike to the public area near the Pokémon Center.
Then release all your spirits.
"twitter?"
"clatter??"
"Coconut egg??"
"Woof??"
"Hu?"
The Pokémon were all puzzled when they saw Blastoise suddenly evolve.
"Kame!" Blastoise said proudly, indicating that thanks to its master's help, it had finally evolved into its final form.
The Pokémon stopped grimacing. After all, Xiao Shi's Pokémon evolved as quickly as possible whenever possible.
Currently, of all the Pokémon that Gary the Beast owns, only Zubat and Growlithe haven't evolved yet.
Zubat cannot evolve yet because its friendship level is not high enough.
Growlithe, on the other hand, does not need to evolve in advance.
Zubat and Growlithe stared at Blastoise; the original trio was now one less.
"Alright, everyone, let's begin this afternoon's training. Scizor, you train with Blastoise and help it get used to its new body," said Gary.
Xiao Shi doesn't plan to challenge the gym today. After all, Blastoise has just evolved, and compared to its Wartortle and Squirtle evolutions, Blastoise's size has changed a lot, mainly because it has become heavier. It also has two more cannons for attack. Before the gym battle, he needs to familiarize himself with it first.
The elves donned their forced training gear and ran off to practice their skills.
Blastoise and Scizor remain in place.
"Blastoise, you use the cannon on your shell to attack first. Scizor, use your Shadow Clone as a target so Blastoise can shoot at you," Gary instructed.
"twitter."
"Kamei."
The two Pokémon nodded, and Scizor immediately distanced itself from Blastoise and used Shadow Clone.
Blastoise immediately adjusted the position of the cannon on its shell, and water balls were continuously fired from the cannon.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...!
The water balloons made a whooshing sound as they flew, and landed with a loud "thump!" splashing water everywhere.
This is just Blastoise's Water Gun move, but its power is comparable to a weaker Water Cannon. With the cannon barrel, the power of Water-type moves used with the cannon barrel has increased by nearly double.
However... my aim was a bit off; the Scizor's Shadow Clone didn't even move before the Water Ball missed.
"Kame...!" Blastoise also felt embarrassed. The Scizor clones hadn't even moved, and he hadn't been able to hit them. It was too embarrassing for a turtle.
"It's okay. You've just evolved, so it's normal that you're not yet proficient at using the cannon. Keep practicing, and you'll master it soon," Xiao Mao comforted him.
Blastoise has good aiming ability, after all, it was trained during its Squirtle and Wartortle days, it just hasn't gotten used to its evolved body yet.
After just one hour of training, Blastoise had become familiar with using its cannon to attack, and its accuracy had returned to normal. It had also tried using the Water Cannon skill and gotten a little used to it.
After that, Gary stopped Blastoise's training and started physical training instead.
This really stumped Blastoise. After evolving, Blastoise's body became extremely bulky, losing all its former agility. Its movement speed was neither fast nor slow, but Blastoise could still use high-speed rotation to move around, so its speed wasn't bad either.
Knowing that Squirtle would face this predicament, Xiao Mao made Squirtle retract into its shell and run while spinning at high speed during morning physical training after Squirtle mastered the skill of high-speed spinning.
Even though Blastoise's movement speed is slower, it can still move around by using high speed. Moreover, after evolving, Blastoise's defense is further enhanced, and its control over the elements is more refined, allowing it to create high-speed rotating water currents for defense.
"Alright, everyone can rest now."
When it was 4 o'clock, Xiao Mao stopped training.
Blastoise's training is progressing well, but Gary isn't in a hurry to challenge the gym. He plans to spend another two days letting Blastoise get used to its body.
Two days later.
Little Gary's Elf Team.
Blastoise LV36-37!
Exeggutor LV26-28!
Scizor Level 30-31!
Zubat LV25-27!
Alakazam LV20-23!
Growlithe LV12-15!
Xiao Shi's Pokémon all experienced slight improvements, with Growlithe showing the fastest improvement due to its low level.
After reaching level 30, it took Scizor almost a week to go from level 30 to 31, which is quite slow, and this is related to the Pokémon's potential.
Chapter 48: Hengbin Dojo
"As expected, a Pokémon's potential is related to its level growth rate."
Xiao Shigeru looked at his Pokémon's attributes.
The Scizor reached level 30 in Goldenrod City and then leveled up to level 31 yesterday, taking a total of 10 days.
Blastoise reached level 36 in Hengbin City after only three days of training. This is definitely not due to a problem with the training method, but rather a problem with the Pokémon's own potential.
This is also the strength of high-potential spirits; not only is their level cap high, but their level-up speed is also very fast.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if trainers raise some low-potential Pokémon in the early stages, as long as they can capture high-potential Pokémon and raise them to the level of a team in a short time.
Xiao Shiu thought that Blastoise's level would be around 50 to 60 before the Indigo League, which is an extremely high level for the Indigo League.
Even Ash's Charizard was only around level 40 during the Indigo League.
Gary's Blastoise not only has champion potential, but it's also been eating candy. If it gets surpassed in level by Ash's Charizard, Gary might as well quit being a trainer.
"It's time for Xiao Mao to set off," Natsume said.
"Well, let's go."
Gary got up from the sofa and followed Sabrina out of the Pokémon Center toward the Hengbin Gym.
...!
At the entrance of Hengbin Taekwondo Hall.
A handsome young man and a beautiful young woman arrived here. The young man stepped forward and pressed the doorbell next to the door.
Soon, a boy opened the door. Seeing two people at the door, he asked in confusion, "Are you both here to challenge the gym?"
"No, I'm here to challenge the gym; she's my partner," Shigeru explained.
"I see. But there are requirements for challenging our gym. You need to have two badges to be eligible to challenge us," the boy reminded him.
Xiao Mao didn't reply. He took an orange badge box out of his pocket, opened it, and found four badges inside.
"Four badges... Looks like you're pretty good. Come with me." The boy was surprised, but pretended not to care and led Gary and Sabrina into the gym.
Upon arriving at the battle arena inside the gym, Gym Leader Ichiki was already waiting at the far end of the arena.
Yi Mu is an older single man with black hair, about 1.75 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, and with an ordinary appearance. He is the kind of person who would be hard to distinguish in a crowd.
"Master, someone's here to challenge the dojo!" the boy called out.
Ichiki looked up at Shigeru and Natsume, wondering if both of them had come to challenge, or if only one of them had come.
"Master, this is the challenger, and she is his partner," the boy explained, noticing Yimu's confusion.
Ichiki looked at Shigeru and said, "I am Ichiki, the Gym Leader of Sergio Hengbin Dojo."
"Shigeru is from Pallet Town."
"Then let me explain the rules of the gym battle. You can use two Pokémon, and the challenger has the right to change Pokémon. Do you understand?" Ichiki explained.
"Understood!"
Yimu walked to the command area and gave his apprentice a wink.
The boy immediately understood and quickly walked to the referee area to act as the referee, announcing: "The gym battle will now begin. Each side may use two Pokémon. Gym Leader Ichiki, please release your Pokémon first."
Yimu remained silent, took a Poké Ball out of his pocket, and casually tossed it out.
Baton!
"Meow!"
The piercing meows of a cat echoed throughout the dojo.
