"Zi-!!!"
The golden electric current spread rapidly above the cold water, releasing a furious power.
The small lake that was originally reflecting brightly under the bright moonlight, quiet and cool, suddenly boiled under the power of the electric current.
The cold water of the lake continuously exploded as the water splashed and stirred.
For these Pokémon living inside the small lake, Caterpie's Electroweb was undoubtedly a life-altering charm.
The power of attribute restraint was on display at this moment.
Several Magikarps rolled their eyes and surfaced one after another.
Sure enough, there are still many Magikarps in this type of small lake.
However, Aisha understood very well that the object he was looking for was not them.
Just now, Aisha could clearly see that the attack method of the Pokémon that attacked them was a physical attack skill in the injuries of those Magikarps that popped out of the water...
A Pokémon that could use physical moves to attack inside the water was indeed a bit interesting.
Aisha rose a little bit of interest.
"Hmm..."
Aisha's line of sight kept flowing above the small lake covered with an electric grid, searching for the traces of that Pokémon - in one corner of the lake, a wisp of tiny bubbles kept floating above the surface of the water underneath the shattered water splashes, undoubtedly originating from the Pokémon's breath.
What it was hiding was very stealthy, yet it still could not be hidden from Aisha's eyes.
"Caterpie, focus on Electroweb and attack that location!"
Aisha indicated the enemy's location.
"Mee!"
Caterpie also quickly gathered Electroweb, which was a bit weakened due to its diffuse use, and accurately focused all of its power, attacking the location indicated by Aisha.
"Boom!"
The churning water exploded into the sky under the bombardment of lightning, and a petite shadow was forced to fly out between the bursts of waves.
"Lulli-!!!"
Its wail also reached Aisha's ears.
"Oh?"
Watching that petite figure fall from between the splashes and end up floating on top of the cold water along with Magikarps that had been attacked by Electroweb and lost their ability to fight, Aisha couldn't help but show an expression of surprise as well.
This Pokémon's skin took on a moist, deep blue color, with rounded ears like a small bear, petite feet that fit the rounded body, and a slim black tail that extended behind the buttocks, but at the end of the tail was linked to a blue sphere that was equal in size to the body.
"Azurill?"
Aisha quickly recognized the identity of this Pokémon.
It was the juvenile form of Azurill, the "Dragon Slaying Warrior", and now Azurill with normal and fairy attributes for the time being.
"I didn't realize that this kind of thing actually has Azurill... No wonder."
Taking a look at Azurill, who was floating above the surface of the water, body shivering, seemingly confused by the Caterpie's Electroweb, Aisha glanced at Magikarps that had been knocked to shore, and his doubts were answered.
If it was Azurill with that characteristic, it did have the power to knock them ashore.
"The average height of a normal Azurill is 0.2 meters, this Azurill has actually developed to 0.3 meters and more, there's not much nutrients to consume in the wilderness in this area, so it's obviously a very good quality of its own..."
Carefully scrutinizing that Azurill's figure, Aisha came to this conclusion.
This Azurill was still not very old and was worth taking in.
"Good!"
Pulling out a Poké Ball, Aisha couldn't help but reveal an excited smile.
It was probably this kind of experience to have a pillow sent to you when you fell asleep.
He himself was still agonizing over the collection of Pokémon, and such an excellent Azurill was delivered to his door.
"Lulli... lulli!"
Aisha was about to throw the Poké Ball, but suddenly, that Azurill made a new move.
The petite little blue water bear was actually opening its eyes after shaking violently for a few moments.
It was struggling to adjust its body, dipping above the gradually calming water.
A pair of bright little eyes scanned around, finally locking onto Caterpie and Aisha on the shore.
"Lulli!"
Azurill revealed an angry expression, clearly recognizing that these two guys were the very ones who had attacked her.
"Oh?"
Seeing that Azurill not only didn't completely lose her ability to fight under Caterpie's Electroweb, but could even show this battle-ready look after regaining her consciousness, Aisha was instead a bit more pleasantly surprised.
Even if the electric grid didn't have any restraining effect on Azurill, who was generally associated with fairy attribute, Azurill was still under the lake and took such a blow.
Aisha had a very good idea of Caterpie's output, that power under the conduction of the water current was definitely not a level that ordinary Pokémon could withstand.
Side by side, it showed the strength of this Azurill's body.
"Come on, let's fight against each other!"
Aisha shouted so at Azurill.
Caterpie also stood on the shore and stared at this little water bear.
"How about becoming my Pokémon if you lose?"
"Lulli!"
Azurill took Aisha's battle without hesitation.
It thought it was impossible for it to lose.
In the next moment, the turquoise-blue current quickly wrapped around its body, and relying on the propulsion of the current it rushed out of the water and crashed into the Caterpie on the shore.
"Boom!"
The Caterpie didn't dodge under Aisha's hint and took Azurill's blow head-on, its huge body rubbing on top of the grass and retreating a meter.
"Having inherited the move Aqua Jet, and... This strength, it's actually really a Huge Power trait."
Aisha, after quickly determining what the move Azurill used was, and by the way, also judging the unusual power of the move based on Caterpie's reaction, thoroughly recognized the potential of this Pokémon.
Azurill with the characteristics of Huge Power is the future "Dragon Slaying Warrior" Azumarill!
It could be!
"Caterpie, String Shot to restrict this guy's movement!"
Seeing that Azurill had already performed her second Aqua Jet and was about to crash into Caterpie, Aisha also gave the order in time.
"Mee!"
Pure white threads sprayed out from inside the Caterpie's mouth.
These pliable and flexible threads actually penetrated Azurill's Aqua Jet and quickly bound its round body.
Forced to abort her move, Azurill fell onto the grass with a "pop".
"Lulli!"
Constantly struggling and rolling on the ground, Azurill was unable to break free from the threads binding her, so much so that her expression was a bit at a loss for words.
It had always been the unparalleled against Magikarps in the fish pond, and it was the first time it encountered such a powerful enemy.
Aisha didn't order the Caterpie to ride out the attack, instead, he topped the struggling Azurill with interest, anticipating how it would get out of the situation.
"Lulli, lulli!"
Azurill was struggling with all her strength, and the Caterpie's tough silk threads actually did crumble a bit.
The strength of its power was already visible.
Not only that, after Azurill, who was gradually calming down, paused her struggle for a while, a bright light suddenly flashed above her rounded body, and her petite body swelled up by a few points.
In the next second, the silk thread binding it was completely disintegrated.
"Lulli!"
Standing firm with great vigor, Azurill, whose strength was rapidly increasing, aimed at the Caterpie again, and without hesitation, wrapped herself in the current and launched a charge.
"Belly Drum... Tsk, what perfect genetics."
Aisha, who recognized that Azurill had boosted her power by using the Belly Drum, a self-inflicted strengthening move, smiled even wider.
"Caterpie, use Tackle and come hard to defeat this guy."
"Mee!"
Caterpie leapt up at Aisha's command and crashed into the column of water Azurill was dragging without mercy.
"Boom-!!!"
The water flow exploded, Azurill's petite body quickly flew backwards under the power of the Caterpie, fell under the big tree next to it, and completely stopped moving.
Azurill was Azurill after all, even if she had outstanding talent, she was still a small body, and could not withstand the Caterpie's attack at all.
"Not bad, already very good."
Aisha praised Azurill while throwing out the Pokémon ball.
Azurill entered the interior of the ball under a burst of light, and the Pokémon ball flickered a few times before it finally managed to quiet down.
Accepted, successful!
Aisha couldn't help but be overjoyed and picked up the Pokémon ball.
After all, this was the first time he had ever taken in a new Pokémon in the wild.
The excitement was slightly uncontrollable.
"Not too old but extremely well developed, can skillfully utilize the two most core genetic moves, Aqua Jet and Belly Drum, and its battle sense is also good..."
Recalling some of Azurill's outstanding performance within the battle just now, Aisha was becoming more and more satisfied with this Pokémon.
The main thing is Azurill's cultivation is still cheap, he can completely afford it...
Holding Azurill's Pokémon ball, Aisha was also looking more and more favorable.
"Mimi!"
Caterpie also crawled next to Aisha, squinting her eyes as if she was happy for Aisha's harvest.
"Thanks to you, Caterpie, we have a new companion."
Squeezing the Poké Ball, Aisha didn't forget to praise the Caterpie.
After that, Aisha also released Azurill and carefully treated its injuries with injury medicine... Almost ten minutes later, this little water bear also opened its eyes.
"...Lulli?"
Azurill looked around in bewilderment - those Magikarps were also healed by Aisha and released back inside the water.
Finally, Azurill looked towards Aisha who was watching it.
"Please teach me more in the future, Azurill."
Aisha smiled and extended his hand.
"Lulli..."
Looking at this human's smile, Azurill was originally unwilling to accept this master so easily, however, looking at his smile, she ended up stretching out her large tail a little shyly and placed it on top of Aisha's palm.
"Lulli!"
The bond was thus concluded.
