24 Chubby Bird

'Hmm... judging my situation, Psychic Type, Steel Type, and Flying Type Pokémon seem to be suitable'

Wang Shòu thought, carefully considering his situation.

Pikachu is a very fast Pokémon and under the right circumstances, it is possible to achieve a OHK. While Charmeleon, it is an excellent all-rounder Pokémon, suitable to fight under almost any circumstance.

As for Clefairy, it may not be a strong Pokémon, but it is an excellent healer and also serves as a very good support Pokémon.

Considering his situation, Wang Shòu infers that right now, he needs a tank Pokémon, such as a Steel Type that can endure hits and counterattack. This would be useful when Wang Shòu uses Split Pokémon to fight against multiple Pokémon.

However, a Flying Pokémon is also an excellent choice, capable of scouting from above and having air superiority in a fight.

This would also be useful when Wang Shòu wants to reach a different location quickly. Of course, what to do with Xiong Yong also needs to be considered.

Lastly, a Pokémon specialized in special attacks, such as a Psychic type Pokémon, is also a good choice. Psychic Pokémon always have a lot of unusual moves that catch opponents off guard, and they can learn a considerable number of powerful moves.

'Hmm, hey system, can you analyze and see what would be the best Steel, Psychic, and Flying Type Pokémon for me?'

[Affirmative]

[Scanning... Ding! I have identified four Pokémon that are most suitable for your situation]

Then four blue lists pop up in the air, with information visible only to Wang Shòu's eyes.

[Abra]

[A Psychic Type Pokémon highly recommended. Despite its initially weak stats, it compensates with high special attack and speed stats, showcasing remarkable teleportation abilities useful in various situations. Upon evolving into Alakazam, it boasts an IQ of 5,000, proof of its extraordinary psychic prowess. Its potential to Mega Evolve allows it to reshape the world with its psychic power, affecting even Gods]

[Aron]

[A Steel and Rock Type Pokémon, strongly recommended for its outstanding defense base stat. Upon evolving into Aggron, it possesses one of the highest defense base stats among all Pokémon, making it considerably powerful. Its Mega Evolution further elevates its already impressive defense. Coupled with its new Ability gained after Mega Evolution, it is said to be capable of withstanding even the full power of a God]

[Ralts]

[A Psychic and Fairy Type Pokémon, a solid recommendation. Its first evolutionary stage isn't very powerful, but it gains strength as it evolves into Kirlia. Though it is not very powerful too, the situation changes upon its second evolution. It can evolve into Gallade, excelling as a physical attacker, or Gardevoir, known for high special attack stats and being an excellent support Pokémon. They can also Mega Evolve, further enhancing their strengths, perhaps even creating a black hole capable of destroying the world and Gods is not a dream anymore]

[Rookidee]

[A Flying Type Pokémon highly recommended among Flying Type Pokémon. It's very fast and has great flexibility in the air. Upon evolving into Corviknight and gaining the Steel Type, it becomes a great tank-like Pokémon with control over the sky, earning it the title of Overlord of the Galar Region. When it Gigantamaxes, its wing flaps can create winds even stronger than hurricanes, capable of shaking continents and blowing God away]

'Huh, oh my... they are quite powerful...'

Surprise flashes in Wang Shòu's eyes, but then he begins to carefully ponder again

'Abra, Aron, Ralts, and Rookidee... hmm, they boast considerable power in their final evolution stage, but choosing which one is the question...'

Their final evolution stages are powerful, and the information provided by the system make Wang Shòu tempted to choose all of them. Unfortunately, he can't do that...

'Hmm, alright. I have decided. I choose Rookidee'

After some thought, Wang Shòu finally chooses Rookidee. The other Pokémon are indeed tempting to choose, but they each have their problems.

Alakazam is an excellent Psychic type Pokémon, but the problem is that it's very weak as an Abra. While Abra can Teleport, that is not what Wang Shòu is looking for.

After all, he is entering the middle region where 1,000-year-old beasts reside. Fighting them as an Abra would be asking for death unless he immediately evolves into Kadabra.

However, heaven and earth treasures are too rare, and finding a suitable one for Abra who is a Psychic Type is likely to be even rarer.

Aron, while Wang Shòu does love Aggron as his favorite Pokémon from the Hoenn Region, has only a decent defense stat and is also very slow, which could prove fatal in the middle region.

As for Ralts, well, it's not a secret that Gardevoir is a very popular Pokémon, but it also has the same problem as Abra. Weak stats and not very powerful as a Ralts. And as for Gallade? Nah, Gardevoir is more powerful and is an excellent support role, making it more cost-effective to choose Gardevoir.

There's also another reason why Wang Shòu didn't choose Ralts. Evolving into Gardevoir is a hurdle that Wang Shòu can never cross over. Wouldn't that mean he would turn into a female? If he evolves into Gardevoir, would that make him a futa or a trap?...

Either way, it is not within Wang Shòu's considerations. He would rather die than let that happen.

So, Rookidee is the only choice left, and Wang Shòu is satisfied with it. Corviknight is one of his favorite Pokémon from the Galar Region, and it is not weak; otherwise, it would not be known as the Overlord of the Galar Region.

And as for Rookidee, while it still has the same problem of not being very strong in its first evolution stage, unlike others, it can fly, giving it air superiority. It is also quite capable of fighting among all first evolution stage Pokémon.

'Now I have chosen Rookidee, but not now...'

Wang Shòu looks back at Xiong Yong, who is just lying down, seemingly playing with insects on the ground.

Wang Shòu shakes his head; it is not the right time to do it now. He need an empty space where no one is watching.

"Pika, Pika!" (Hey, Xiong Yong? I'm going somewhere else. I have something I need to do.)

Hearing that, Xiong Yong raises his head with a question mark on his face.

What? Boss Lei Feng is going somewhere else without me? Does that mean he is dissatisfied with me? What should I do?!

Xiong Yong feels panicked and wants to ask Wang Shòu, but seeing the urgency in Wang Shòu's expression as if he needs to do something important, Xiong Yong suddenly has a realization.

Oh, I see! Boss Lei Feng needs to attend to that 'business'! But why? We always do it out in public, whether it's marking or just simply doing it. Perhaps Boss Lei Feng is shy? That must be it!

Reaching that conclusion, Xiong Yong becomes inexplicably enthusiastic and pats his chest, as if assuring Wang Shòu that nothing will happen.

"Grrr..." (Don't worry, Boss Lei Feng! I won't say anything, and I won't interfere with your 'business'!)

'I feel like I'm being misunderstood by Xiong Yong, but whatever...'

Shaking his head and rolling his eyes, no longer concerning himself with what Xiong Yong is thinking, Wang Shòu quickly heads somewhere else.

Soon, Wang Shòu quickly arrives at an empty space near the lake, at least 50 meters away from where Xiong Yong is.

Wang Shòu quickly surveys the area and finds no other spirit beasts nearby.

'Alright, it's all good. Now to transform into Rookidee!'

Saying that, Wang Shòu, in his Pikachu form, quickly begins to morph into a smaller bird-like creature.

Soon, Wang Shòu turns into a small, bird-like Pokémon with dark blue wings, a tail, and back. Its lower body and chest are yellow. It features a black feather crest from its wings to its face, with tufts resembling a mask. Its red eyes have white markings underneath, and it has small gray claws.

Having transformed into Rookidee, Wang Shòu quickly hops to the nearby lake to look at the reflection of his appearance.

'Excellent. I look pretty cool, though I do look like a chubby bird...'

Wang Shòu moves his wings, satisfied with his appearance, although he is a bit resentful that Rookidee is shaped like a ball, making it appear chubby.

'Anyway, now that I've turned into Rookidee, there's something I need to do...'

Saying that, Wang Shòu's red eyes gaze at the sky, his intent evident of what he want to do.

'I need to learn how to fly...'
