Fifth Pokemon
'System, please tell me the information of those ten Pokémon.'
[Affirmative.]
After the system's quick reply, not even a second has passed and a long blue list had already appeared, listing the information for the ten Noble Pokémon.
[Electrode]
[An Electric and Grass Type Pokémon that is the template of the Pokéball and slowly changes to adapt as the Pokéball becomes more advanced. It is abnormally fast and can unleash a powerful electric current, equivalent to 20 lightning bolts. It can also gather an enormous amount of chlorophyll and release it towards its enemy, rivaling a large explosion.]
[Avalugg]
[An Ice and Rock Type Pokémon, almost unrivaled with its immense defense and power. The ice armor covering its lower jaw is harder than the purest steel and can easily shatter boulders. It is said that the largest Avalugg were the size of a glacier.]
[Kleavor]
[A Bug and Rock Type, a unique Pokémon that fades over time due to the evolutionary condition being forgotten. It is a violent creature that can slash through anything with its crude axes. It clads itself with hard stone, capable of enduring almost anything. It is the hardest hitter among the ten Noble Pokémon.]
[Sneasler]
[A Fighting and Poison Type Pokémon that differs from the usual evolution path. A solitary Pokémon that is uncontested among the frozen highlands due to its powerful physical prowess and excellent speed. It is a Pokémon that no one wants to provoke due to its extremely venomous poison.]
[Braviary]
[A Psychic and Normal Type Pokémon that gradually lost its form when immigrating to other regions. It is a majestic but also bloodthirsty creature that dominates the sky. With its powerful psychic power, it can effortlessly batter any foe from long-range and then swoop down with its wings cloaked in psychic energy to end its foe.]
[Wyrdeer]
[A Normal and Psychic Type Pokémon, an evolution slowly forgotten over time. It boasts both powerful attack and special attack, making it suitable for most battles. The black orbs upon the antlers cloak themselves with a psychic shield as it prepares itself to deliver a powerful bash.]
[Ursaluna]
[A Ground and Normal Type Pokémon with the ability to manipulate peat. It has a bulky physique, granting immense endurance and stamina. It also has phenomenal strength, almost unrivaled, though it suffers from low speed.]
[Basculegion]
[A powerful Water and Ghost Type Pokémon. It has high flexibility and excellent endurance. It gains immense strength from the soul of its fallen comrade. It has the power to control the soul to a certain extent. It is considered an overlord among Water-Type Pokémon.]
[Arcanine]
[A Fire and Rock Type Pokémon, a noble being that resides in the volcano and slowly changes over time to adapt to the plains. It is believed to be a Legendary Pokémon and has almost no shortcomings in its stats. Despite its bulk, it boasts excellent flexibility and charges at its foe with its fangs clad in blazing hot flames.]
[Lilligant]
[A Grass and Fighting Type Pokémon that has lost its powerful leg strength as it slowly changes from aggressive into a peaceful Pokémon. It can deliver a fast and ruthless attack and can continuously grow stronger with its elegant dance that brings victory.]
'Hmm...those Pokémon are indeed quite powerful.'
Quickly understanding the information about the ten Noble Pokémon, Wang Shóu already began to sort out which Pokémon he should choose.
He already had Rookidee that could evolve into Corviknight, which can fly and is tanky, so Braviary and Avalugg can be crossed out.
Electrode is good, but he already has Pikachu, which is also extremely fast too. The same goes for Arcanine, as he already has Charmeleon.
Kleavor is quite good, as the Noble Pokémon with the strongest attack, but judging from its information, it requires a Black Augurite instead of heaven and earth treasures.
But he may be wrong, and Kleavor can be evolved with the heaven and earth treasures, but it is a risk that he is not willing to take.
As for Ursaluna, it is indeed a good Pokémon that Wang Shóu might be tempted to choose. But thinking of Xiong Yong, Wang Shóu's face became subtle.
'I wonder how Xiong Yong would react if there is a second bear in the team?'
Thinking for a few minutes, Wang Shóu shook his head and decided to cross out Ursaluna too. He doesn't need a second bear on the team.
After some thinking, he also crossed out Sneasler too. While Sneasler is quite good, some of its advantages overlap with his Pokémon, so he decided to cross it out.
After crossing out the Pokémon that are not necessary, there are three Pokémon left to choose.
'Three left, which are Wyrdeer, Basculegion, and Lilligant...'
Pondering, Wang Shóu's eyes are attracted to Basculegion's information. Not only is it the only Pokémon that can swim in the water, but it is also a Ghost-Type Pokémon.
'Hmm, a Ghost-type. I wonder how it would work in this world...'
Even in the Pokémon world, Ghost Types are quite special, similar to ghosts and yet not. Ghost-Type Pokémon have the ability to pass through material, enter into the shadows, and can manipulate souls.
And not only that, it is immune to Normal-Type and Fighting-Type and is strong against Psychic-Type.
If it is applied to this world, Normal-Type refers to soul beasts without any elemental powers and spirit masters who have tool martial spirits or ordinary animal martial spirits.
While Fighting Type refers to spirit beasts known for their extraordinary strength and spirit masters whose martial spirit blesses them with great strength. One example of this would be the Golden Dragon King, that would be defined as a Dragon and Fighting-Type Pokémon.
While Psychic-Type refers to both spirit beasts and spirit masters with powerful spiritual powers. Spiritual power is particularly more prominent in Douluo Dalu 3, characterized as rare and powerful among spirit masters. An example would be the Silver Dragon King, that can be defined as a Dragon and Psychic-Type Pokémon.
Meaning in this era, Ghost-Type Pokémon have a huge advantage!
'Alright! I've decided. I choose Basculegion!'
Having decided on the Pokémon, Wang Shóu now wants to transform into Basculin, the pre-evolution before Basculegion.
And so Wang Shóu, in his Pikachu form, quickly morphed into a smaller, fish-shaped Pokémon.
Soon, a green, aquatic Pokémon has taken form. The creature has a green, oval body with a black stripe from mouth to tail and a trapezoidal tail fin. Its lower jaw protrudes, and it features a distinctive white dorsal fin with four spike-like protrusions and light blue horizontal stripes above the eye. Three black dots adorn each side behind the pectoral fins.
And strangely, this creature is floating in the air, as if swimming through the air as though it were water.
'Oh nice! I forgot fish can't go above water, but I didn't expect I am actually floating in the air!'
Wang Shóu thought, musing that it is probably a unique trait that all aquatic Pokémon can do.
'Anyway, let's look at my status window.'
A blue panel quickly shows up, displaying Wang Shóu's information.
[Name: Wang Shóu]
[Race: Basculin (White Striped Form)]
[Ability: Adaptability]
[Type: Water]
[Level: 20 (500 years old)]
[Pokémon: Pikachu (40), Charmeleon (36), Clefairy (30), Rookidee (26)]
'Oh? I'm quite lucky to have Basculin with the Adaptability ability.'
In the Pokémon world, there is something called STAB that is crucial in Pokémon battles.
STAB, short for Same Type Attack Bonus, basically amplifies a move's power by 50% when a Pokémon's type matches the move's type. For example, if a normal-type Pokémon uses Tackle, which is a normal-type move, Tackle's base power is changed from 40 to 60.
And STAB is not limited to Pokémon with one type. It can also work with Pokémon with two types, meaning if it is a grass and rock-type Pokémon, the STAB can work with grass and rock-type moves!
And in this case, Adaptability increases the effectiveness of STAB moves from the usual 50% to 100%!
Meaning if Basculin were to attack with a water-type move with a base power of 60, instead of being amplified to 90, it would be 120!
And this becomes even more exaggerated when Basculin evolves into Basculegion with a whopping 112 Attack Base Stat and can specifically learn moves above 100 base power!
Not to mention the additional Ghost Type too that is immune to Normal and Fighting Types!
'The next step is to evolve Rookidee and level Basculin up! This way, I can be more secure in the future!'
Wang Shóu thought, pumping his fist, mentally cheering himself up.
---
In an unknown realm, inaccessible to mortals, lies a transcendent space imbued with an ethereal beauty that defies comprehension.
Within this mysterious realm, it is adorned with an infinite array of dazzling stars that cast their cosmic glow upon the vastness. Some stars flicker with radiant intensity, while others gradually dim.
In the middle of this mysterious realm resides a large mysterious deer-like creature sleeping, carrying a sacred inviolable aura, seemingly overshadowing everything else.
Its large, white androgynous body resembling a qilin, has a gray underside with recurring striated patterns on its face, mane, tail, and body. Its pointed feet are adorned with gold hooves, and a streak of gold coloration extends from its head and ears. Distinctly, it has a golden cross-like wheel with four jewels attached around its waist. Around the center of its being, there lie eighteen plates of different colors, spinning as they exude mighty powers that seem to shake the universe.
Suddenly, the mysterious deer-like creature stirs from its slumber, gradually opening its majestic eye.
The pupils within its vibrant green eyes glow with an intense red hue, creating a mesmerizing contrast, and below each eye, a distinctive green circular pattern emerges.
Under its pure scarlet red pupil, a faint golden color appears from time to time, as if to reflect its divinity to outsiders.
Slowly standing up, suddenly this deer-like creature sighed. With its sigh, all the stars seem to flicker and dim slightly.
"Just a little bit longer..."
After sighing for an inexplicable reason, suddenly, the deer-like creature turns its head and seems to gaze at something.
"Wang Shóu?... It is indeed a good name," The deer-like creature said, nodding its head.
Nodding its head, it sighed once more for an unknown reason, "I don't have much time... I just need to wait a bit longer..."
And so the deer-like creature lay down once more, and slowly closes its eye, entering its slumber once more.
A moment later, the entirety of the mysterious realm slowly disappears as if it never existed.
