Chapter 17: Gym Battle Vs. Brock!

[LV15 Butterfree♂/Gym. ]

After evolving into Butterfree, the level is also raised to level 15, which is still a big increase. Maybe this is the characteristic of Pokémon like Butterfree.

Whether it is Metapod or Kakuna, after evolving, the level will be slightly increased, ranging from 1 to 10 levels. As for the specific increase, it should be determined according to the potential of the Pokémon itself.

Gary also used the Eye of Insight to check Butterfree's Attributes.

[Pokémon: Butterfree ]

[Attribute: Bug, Flying]

[Level: 15]

[Potential: Gym]

[Ability: Compound Eyes (Because of compound eyes, the hit rate of moves will be improved.)]

[Skills: String Shot, Bug Bite, Gust, Supersonic, Confusion, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, Sleep Wind. ]

[Intimacy: 255 (maximum value 255)]

"Not bad, so many skills have been awakened. Basically, all the skills that can be awakened at this stage of Butterfree have been awakened." Gary said with surprise.

Pokémon will awaken racial skills after reaching a certain growth level, but not all Pokémon have the opportunity to awaken.

Even Pokémon with champion potential may not be able to awaken all racial skills.

Pokémon with high potential can only awaken the more critical skills among its own racial skills, but not all racial skills. You can refer to Ash's Pikachu for this.

Whether a Pokémon can awaken all racial skills depends not on its potential, but on its own comprehension. The higher the comprehension, the more racial skills it can awaken.

Gary remembered that Ash's Catterpie awakened the three skills of Gust, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore after it evolved.

Gary's Butterfree has awakened six skills, three times the number of Ash's Butterfree. It can be seen that this Butterfree has a high level of understanding.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of understanding." Gary touched Butterfree's furry head and didn't know how to treat Butterfree for a while.

According to Gary's original idea, Butterfree was only temporarily bred and would definitely be replaced in the later stage, but this Butterfree's understanding was so high that it would be a pity to give up.

Gary thought about it and felt that it was better to train it temporarily. Anyway, the number of Pokémon to be captured in the future would not be too many, so it would be okay to train it for a while. It depends on how much Butterfree can grow.

"Come in, we are going back." Except for Squirtle, Gary took all the other Pokémon back to the Poké Ball.

Putting a Pokémon outside naturally hopes that there will be a Pokémon to accompany you on the road, so that you won't be bored, and it can also serve as a bodyguard.

...!

Rest at the Pokémon Center for one night. The next day.

Gary rode his mountain bike to the entrance of the Pewter Gym.

"It's so shabby."

Gary looked at the Pewter Gym, which was made of stone cut in half, and felt it was shabby.

The gyms of this period were all shabby, and it was not until two years later that the Alliance allocated funds to help local cities rebuild the gyms.

However, the Pewter Gym has existed for a long time, and is older than Gary's grandfather. It is said that it was founded by Brock's grandfather.

[Ding! Issued task: Obtain Pewter Gym Badge/Reward: Low-level Rare CandyX10, Stone Edge Permanent Skill Learning Device, Top Hard Stone (Rock-type skill power increased by 50%)X1! ]

"Here comes the task, Stone Edge Permanent Skill Learning Device." Gary said unexpectedly.

Skill learners are only available in the game. You can use them on Pokémon to master the corresponding skills. However, the skill learners in the game are used up one less.

Skill learners are great things.

In reality, apart from Pokémon awakening their own racial skills, if you want to learn new skills, you can only find a skill master and spend money to learn, and there is no guarantee that they will teach you.

This can be seen from Ash's travels.

Ash has found a master to teach his Pokémon skills.

It takes at least 3 to 7 days to learn a skill.

If you want to train it into a habitual skill, you have to spend a lot of time practicing.

It can be said that teaching skills is a time-consuming and laborious task.

Even for all the current Region Alliance champions and Elite Four, the number of skills taught in the skill pool of their main Pokémon is only in the single digit, which shows how difficult it is to teach skills.

Hard Stone is an Attribute Enhancement Item. The original effect should be to enhance the power of Rock skills by 20%. This top-grade Hard Stone increases it by 50%, which is terrifying.

Gary quickly parked his mountain bike and came to the door of the gym.

There was no bell at the door, so Gary pushed open the door directly. The gym was very dark. What caught his eye were several stone pillars. On the high platform at the end of the front, a squinty-eyed boy was sitting on a stone cushion.

The squinty-eyed boy was Brock.

Gary didn't understand why Brock was sitting there. He was obviously sitting here waiting on purpose, but he didn't turn on the light. Who was he trying to scare?

Gary turned to Brock and shouted, "Are you Brock?"

Hearing this, a light shone on Brock.

"Who are you?" Brock asked.

Gary thought Brock was pretending to be cool.

There must be surveillance outside the gym. This guy must have known that he was coming and ran here to sit and wait in advance.

Gary knew how busy Brock was usually. In addition to handling the affairs of the gym, he also needed to take care of 9 younger brothers and sisters, and the Pokémon in the gym also needed to be taken care of.

It was broad daylight now, and it was busy. How could he have time to run here and sit and wait for someone?

Gary did not expose Brock, and responded: "My name is Gary, I'm from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge a gym."

"Is this your first time challenging a gym?" Brock asked.

"Yes."

"Gym competitions are different from the house-playing battles on the roadside. They are official competitions of the Pokémon Alliance and have rules." Brock reminded.

As a gym trainer in Pewter City, Brock will accept challenges from most of the nearby Rookie Trainers. Many Rookie Trainers are fearless and come to challenge gyms, but they are all brutally beaten in the end.

"Gym Master Brock, I know the rules of gym battles. I'm different from those Rookies." Gary said.

Brock was stunned for a moment, and he could see that Gary was very confident. He knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped persuading him and said, "You can only use two Pokémon, understand?"

"Yeah." Gary nodded.

Brock snapped his fingers, and the lights on the gym ceiling lit up. At the same time, two rock fields appeared on both sides of the venue, spliced ​​together to form a battle field.

Brock jumped down from the high platform and took out the Poké Ball.

"Since you understand the rules of the gym battle, the game begins."

Brock threw the Poké Ball in his hand with force.

Great!

A round stone with a face appeared on the field, with an arm on each side.
