Chapter 440 Natsu's Begins 

...

Seeing Lorelei's expression, Natsu rubbed his chin.

Help?

He was not a philanthropist and was not free enough to help a group of Breloom and Shroomish.

But he didn't refuse.

Because he paid attention to details in this incident that neither Lorelei nor Breloom were aware of.

Stealing only two Pokemon eggs and over and over again?

In fact, that person might have the ability to annihilate the entire Breloom group.

After all, this group of Brelooms is not strong, except for the Brelooms who attacked Natsu just now, there are only seven or eight Brelooms that came out one after another, and most of them are still Shroomish, this kind of group is really not strong.

But the poeple didn't.

There must be some unknown reason.

What can Pokemon eggs be used for?

He was a little curious about this, so under Lorelei's gaze, he nodded lightly.

"Very good!" Lorelei smiled, then turned to tell Breloom and Shroomish, and Breloom finally reacted.

Wrong again.

Led by the hat mushroom that just attacked Natsu, it moves towards Natsu and a few bows apologizing.

Breloom is still polite.

And just like that, Natsu followed Lorelei and Breloom moving towards where they were staying.

"Natsu, this Pokemon." Lorelei pushed the glasses on her nose and looked curiously at the tall horse that was quietly following behind her, giving people a very reassuring feeling, very reliable.

She had never seen this Pokemon before.

As the best student at Silver Academy, she can fully understand the basic theoretical knowledge of Pokémon, but it can be considered as "proficient", but she still doesn't know this Pokémon, which makes her thirsty for unskilled knowledge.

"Mudsdale." Natsu spoke in a gentle tone.

The Alola Region has definitely been discovered by the Alliance, but it's probably still in the process of exploration and negotiation, so it hasn't been announced, and the Alola Region Pokémon haven't been listed in the Pokémon Atlas, or have been Signed, but haven't been announced.

So it's only natural that Lorelei doesn't know Mudsdale.

"Mudsdale." Lorelei repeated lowly, remembering the name of the Pokémon.

In Lorelei's eyes, Natsu is clearly a knowledgeable person, and even Lorelei considers Natsu the best student of some of the higher Pokemon schools in the other Regions, so of course she's also a little nicer to Natsu.

There was actually a very strange phenomenon within the Alliance.

The academy faction disliked the battle faction, thinking that they were just a bunch of hot-blooded, simple-minded people who had a lack of understanding of the basics of Pokémon.

And the people from the battle faction didn't look down on the people from the academy faction, they thought they were just a bunch of geeks, they only knew how to study hard and copy knowledge from books. .

This phenomenon naturally affected Lorelei more or less.

The reason why Lorelei and Lance didn't let go of each other after that was probably not only because they were peers, but also because the two people from the academy faction and the battle faction were displeasing to each other.

"By the way, Lorelei, your Cloyster is a 'Shell Armor' Trait?" Natsu suddenly asked.

The Icicle Spear shot by Cloyster just now was three, if it was the "Link Skill" Trait, it should be five.

Skill Link: If you use Multi-strike moves, you can use the highest number.

Multi-strike moves: such as Icicle Spear, Rock Blast, Pin Missile, Bullet Seed, Fury Cutter, etc., the number of attacks will vary from 2 to 5 times.

Hearing this, Lorelei moved towards Natsu blinking, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Have you learned the Shell Smash move yet?" asked Natsu again.

He remembered Cloyster and Shellder.

Prior to "Sixth Generation", Shellder was unable to learn the "shell-breaking" movement after evolving into Cloyster. Shellder can only maintain Shellder's form without evolving, and cultivate it to Level 56, to be able to learn the "Shell Smash" move.

He also hadn't trained Shellder and Cloyster, so he didn't know the specifics.

Whether this world's Cloyster can learn "Shell Smash" after evolution, is it really impossible to learn, or can it be learned, but the learning difficulty is very high.

Then the question arises.

"Shell Smash?" Lorelei looked dumbfounded.

Seeing her expression, Natsu almost understood.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

No wonder there are so few "legends" about "Crush-Shell" in this world.

And what about Dragon Clan Pokémon if Crush-Shell runs rampant?

Either Shellder can no longer learn "Shell Smash" after evolving into Cloyster, or learning difficulties become higher, it's not as easy as in Shellder's time, maybe because not many people realize that "Shell Smash" is compatible with Cloyster.

"Can Cloyster learn the 'Shell Smash' move?" Lorelei urged after Natsu didn't answer.

New knowledge again!

As a scholar, Lorelei was a little excited.

Can Cloyster learn "Shell Smash"?

She seemed to have grasped something very important.

"I'm not too sure if Cloyster can learn 'Shell Smash', but I know Shellder can definitely learn 'Shell Smash'." said Natsu.

Natsu's small class, start teaching!

"Shellder can learn 'Shell Smash'?" Lorelei blinked her bright eyes full of curiosity.

Learning the "Shell Smash" move requires a lot of Shellder's strength and basic abilities, and most people crave Pokemon evolution, as it comes with power-ups.

The evolution of Shellder to Cloyster requires Water Stones, so most people use Water Stones to evolve Shellder immediately after training Shellder to a certain level. After all, Shellder's basic abilities weren't really that strong.

Not everyone can play the strongest with an early form, like Pryce's Swinub.

"Yes, Shellder can learn the 'Shell Smash' move, but this requires a relatively high base strength for Shellder. After reaching the senior level, the chances of Shellder being able to learn it are very small. when Shellder reaches the (elite) level, the chances will increase a lot, but when Shellder reaches the Gym Leader level, Shellder will definitely be able to learn!" said Natsu firmly.

Senior, Elite or even Shellder's Gym Leader?

Don't say that, who else is going to train a Pokemon like Shellder to Gym Leader level.

Its difficulty is understood only by those who have personally trained it.

Level training a Pokémon to a Gym Leader in his early form?

The resources, energy, and time spent on this may be enough to train three or four Pokémon that have fully evolved to the Gym Leader level.

"Too hard." Lorelei shook her head.

"It was very difficult." Natsu didn't deny the difficulty, "but that's also because it's hard, so it's amazing"

After cultivating Shellder to the Gym Leader level and then evolving, it turns out that what you get is not only the "Shell Smash" stance, but also a solid foundation that can be called terror. The things that accumulated during this period would explode at the time of its evolution. Use the expression "gathering knowledge and passing it on slowly".

ps: this expression seems lacking.

"Think about it, what if it's a Cloyster of the 'Link Skill' Characteristic Trait, with the 'Shell Smash' and 'Icicle Spear' moves?" Natsu's words seemed to contain some sort of attraction. Sexual taste.

"Link skill.. Icicle Spear.." Lorelei repeated these words with her head down.

Slowly raising her head, her eyes shining brighter than before, she understood what Natsu meant.

And her eyes became brighter, but she seemed to have thought of something very quickly, and grumbled, "That would be too fragile."

Natsu just glanced at him, hearing this, Lorelei was shocked.

This final riddle is entirely made up by Natsu's words.

Lorelei stared at him in disbelief for a long time, and after a long pause, she slowly said: "Then Cloyster"

Natsu smirked while laughing "Please call it Crush-Shell."

"Crush.. Crush-Shell" Lorelei was taken aback by Natsu's words and continued muttering in a low voice.

Natsu let out a long sigh as he muttered in a daze.

Very good, fixed.

The next step was to see Lorelei's determination and attitude.

"Crush-Shell" was probably the result of a perfect match in the eyes of Lorelei and the others. If it could be cultivated, even if it wasn't for a Dragon Type Pokémon, it was against other Pokémon as well. Both of them were extremely powerful existences.

But in Natsu's eyes, it was actually an "outdated" tactic.

He wasn't even worried about the threats Lorelei was posing to him.

believe it or not waiting for his Togetic to evolve into Togekiss, wearing a "Choice Scarf", called "Crush-Shell" didn't even get to call his dad?

It had been a long time before Lorelei finally regained her senses, when they finally arrived at the land of Breloom and Shroomish.

"This was also taught to you by your Master?"

Natsu has a very broad "Master" that Lorelei knows.

Natsu mysteriously laughed and didn't answer.

He had already said what he had to say. Whether Lorelei could cultivate "Crush-Shell" wouldn't have any impact on her, and she only gave some constructive advice.

After all, she could become a Kanto Region Four Elite in the future.

The Kanto Region's Elite Four are different from other regions, in that it is their existence that can become champions in the weaker regions.

And Lorelei was also the Academy's main representative in the future, and having a good relationship with her was a good relationship with the Academy.

Natsu wants to walk the path of "scientific research", and having a good relationship with Pie Academy will make him smoother on this path.

At least, when talking about "Crush-Shell" in the future, not only Lorelei, but also Natsu as the "founder" would come to mind.

Enough.

He didn't say anything to Lorelei, and ignored Breloom's apologetic behavior, but each went to mind their own business to the place where Breloom's Pokémon eggs were kept.

Dozens of Pokémon Eggs lie quietly in a soft haystack, with a few obvious holes where the missing Pokémon Eggs were originally placed.

It's clear that the person who stole the Pokémon eggs didn't carefully screen the Pokémon eggs.

"Not choosing a better Pokémon egg, apparently this guy's goal isn't the value of the Pokémon in this Pokémon egg." Natsu said while observing.

Lorelei stood up, looking at Natsu with a slightly complicated expression.

With Lapras' final tactic, this is the second time Natsu has taught her about Pokémon.

Although Lorelei is a very proud person, she also has to admit that Natsu knows more than she does, and is even qualified to be her teacher.

Shaking her head, putting this into her heart, The thought was suppressed.

Walking up to Natsu, she asked softly, "Did you find anything?"

Natsu stood up slowly with a fistful of white hair in his hands, and glanced at the haystack barely visible footprints in the middle, "Perhaps, the person who stole the egg isn't necessarily a human."

"Not human?" Lorelei was clearly dumbfounded.

"I'm going around here."

Leaving the sentence, Natsu held Mudsdale and moved towards the forest without looking back.

Looking at his back, Lorelei pursed her lips.

Very "cautious" people don't need to be followed.

It seems that she has less field experience, which is a bit of a hassle for Natsu.

After leaving the Breloom habitat, Natsu climbs into Mudsdale and walks again through the forest with some Pokémon.

"To humans, the value of a Pokémon's egg is after hatching, but to a Pokémon, the value of a Pokémon's egg is probably the nutrients within it." Natsu on top of Mudsdale Squinting at the possibilities.

Pokemon eggs are actually a kind of thing that is very rich in nutritional value. Even among humans, there are some rich people who like to use Pokemon eggs as food, but such people are still few and their behavior is relatively hidden.

But for carnivorous Wild Pokémon, the nutritional value of slaughtered eggs is even greater than that of Pokémon.

For example, Ekans.

"There were indeed two footprints in the haystack, but since they didn't last long, they had faded away."

"And except for the haystack where the Pokemon eggs are kept, there are no footprints on the surrounding ground."

"Human? Better say a Pokémon that needs Pokémon eggs to replenish himself."

While walking, Natsu combed through the information he had obtained and analyzed the information.

Besides Wild Pokémon, which love to eat Pokémon eggs, what other Pokémon need the nutrients in Pokémon eggs?

The biggest possibility is.

"Pokemon right after hatch!"

"And it's still a carnivorous Pokémon."

"Must be able to fly."

The combination of various factors makes the scope suddenly much smaller.

And just as he thought, under the judgment of his subjective consciousness, he approached the mountain road in the forest.

Dense forest leaves blocked my view, and the sound of rushing water reached my ears.

"Amazing habitat." Natsu assessed.

He rode Mudsdale down a mountain road, following the path, and soon arrived at a cave with lush vegetation.

Gently plucked out a handful of white hairs stuck in the branches next to him, and twisted lightly with his fingers.

The texture is similar.

Looking into the dark cave.

"Should be here."

It was just that he didn't wait for any action.

swunk——

Layers and layers of ripples quickly burst out of the Cave, and a terrifying sonic attack swept across.

Sonic Boom's powerful attacks cover almost all areas outside the cave, and Natsu is of course the prime target.

The corners of his mouth lifted.
