Chapter 569 Fat Fish?! Neptune?!

...

Three Dragalges.

Even though it looks a little ugly, as a Dragon-Type Pokémon, its value is unquestionable.

Natsu wasn't ready to leave Dragalge.

After all, he had a Dragon-Type Gym that specialized in Dragon-Types.

Dragalge's Three Characteristics are "Poison Point", "Poison Touch" and "Adaptability".

By the way, the two Traits of "Poison Point" and "Poison Touch" can't be said to be the same, they can only be said to be slightly similar.

The two must make touching contact for a certain probability of being poisoned.

If you really want to tell the difference, maybe the main contact with poison is different, one is spikes, the other is hands.

But, for Dragalge, were spikes and hands any different?

So Natsu decisively chose to keep the Dragalge that had the Adaptability Trait, and sold the rest after he left.

And for Skrelp.

Natsu wasn't ready to sell Skrelp yet.

He would recruit some apprentices into the Gym. Skrelps is a Pokémon that can become an apprentice. After evolution, they are all Dragon Types, and they also have card faces.

Some would say, how much does it cost to hire a few staff members, isn't wasting Skrelp training Apprentices a waste?

Smaller layout.

Apprentices last a lifetime, and the stronger they are, the more help the Gym will be.

The most important thing was that the Alliance would occasionally hold some big and small competitions. After these apprentices participate in competitions and earn prizes, Gyms can get a portion of the Alliance's subsidy support.

These are euphemistically called: Talent Development Grants.

Again.

Natsu remembered that in the tome that Bertha Elite had given him last time, there was a strict requirement for the number of Gym apprentices.

After all, for the Alliance, the main role of the Gym is to periodically assess the quality of the Trainers and provide fresh blood to the Alliance.

Like some of the more established Gyms, they have lots of apprentices.

Even though some of them might do nothing in the end, some of them displayed great ability and potential, and eventually entered the Alliance headquarters and held positions.

One or two people couldn't see it, but once the number of people was large, the influence of this Gym in the entire Alliance would be greater.

Training apprentices is a long term investment.

It takes less investment and more time, but once there is a harvest, it is a big harvest.

With this Dragalge and Skrelp group together, Natsu takes a break for his Pokémon.

Because this is not the end of the underground cave.

Behind the murky lake, there are drops of water flowing into the depths.

Natsu had a hunch.

If he went any further, he would have to reach the end of the underground cave and the last secret of the underground cave.

After resting, move on to formation.

Meanwhile.

Natsu finds.

The pond in which Dragalge lives acts like a filter for the currents that follow.

Who was pouring out of the pool where Dragalge came back to life, became crystal clear.

Chinchou's light shone on the water, and he could clearly see the bottom of the water two or three meters deep, and even the rock structures on the surface could be seen clearly.

It didn't take long for them to leave this time.

The field of view is wider and brighter.

What appeared in front of him was a pond that was several times larger than the area where Dragalge was currently living.

There seems to be some neon plants growing in the pond.

The azure blue rays of the stars gathered together, directly illuminating the entire pond and the entire cave.

After entering here, the faces of Natsu and all of his Pokémon were reflected in blue halos.

As the water moved, the luminous objects in the pool rippled with the water.

The sparkling waves were like the vast starry sky.

The difference is that the starry sky is in the sky, and this scene is under their feet.

In light.

Natsu can see some silhouettes of Pokemon, where they are roaming around leisurely, very comfortable and comfortable.

Natsu's Pokémon opened their mouths when they saw this sight, amazed at the wonders of nature and praising the beauty of nature.

Byuur-

Seemingly sensing their arrival, a head was sticking out of the water.

A milky white body, bright red eyes, and scales, which were stained with water, crystallized under the light of the bow, and were satin.

It's Milotic!

Following Milotic.

It's a Pokémon with a lump of gray and white, which at first glance just feels really ugly.

Feebas!

They live in the deepest undercurrents of this underground cave.

Explore this pure, beautiful and magical pool.

Natsu wasn't surprised that Milotic was born in this kind of environment.

Feebas evolves into Milotic in two ways.

One is to let Feebas use the previously obtained "Prism Scale", theoretically, it can evolve into Milotic based on this.

And the other.

This is to enhance Feebas beauty.

Feebas will evolve into Milotic when beauty reaches a certain value.

"Beauty" has a special value in the game.

But this is the world of Pokemon, and the concept of "beauty" is fascinating, even more enthralled than the concept of "intimacy" Natsu had with Sakuragi before.

At least "Intimacy" has some moves like "Return".

But "beauty" has no machine or method to test it.

Maybe when "Contest tournament" becomes popular in the future, the concept of "beauty" will be proposed.

But not now.

Two ways of evolution.

One is relying on foreign bodies, and the other is relying on himself.

Although the result will develop into Milotic, but because of the different process, obviously the effect will be slightly different.

In Natsu's view, Pokémon "beauty" is nothing more than two forms of expression, one is external beauty and the other is internal beauty.

For Pokémon like Feebas, it may not be realistic to achieve external beauty, and internal beauty may be the key to their evolution.

And living in such a beautiful place must have had an effect on Feebas' heart and their aesthetic.

So it makes sense that Milotic was born.

think about it.

Natsu just wanted to see if he could write a paper on Milotic's evolution, and suddenly thought about it.

Not only papers on Milotic's evolution.

The concept of "beauty" can also be raised.

Alliance is now promoting "Contest Tournaments", and even has Wallace, the "water artist", as the face of the cards.

If he came up with the current concept of "beauty", with the nature of the Alliance, they should support him greatly, or even fully support him?

Since this was a Contest tournament, "beauty" could definitely become a certain standard of reference.

Like to say.

How to measure this value.

Then let Alliance worry about him, he could just become the founder of the concept of "Beauty.

"Looks like I can get another wave of Alliance funds" Natsu rubbed his chin slowly.

"Mill~~"

Milotic's soft voice echoed again, causing Natsu to snap back from his contemplation.

When Natsu turned his head, Milotic didn't show the usual fear, anger, joke, and other emotions of a Wild Pokémon when he saw a human Trainer, his eyes were always very calm.

Byuur-

Milotic's tail wagged slightly.

The ripples opened dots of light in the water, exposing the scenery below the pool to Natsu's view.

The water is crystal clear.

So when Natsu saw the scene at the bottom of the pool, his whole body went bad.

"Fat fish?!, Neptune?! Kyogre?! "

But it seems a little different.

Like,

Carving? Stone statue?
