Chapter 43: Auction

Low potential is Growlithe's weakness, but it doesn't matter. After using the top evolution stone to evolve, the potential will rise by one level.

Gary is not in a hurry to evolve Growlithe. After all, he hasn't even got Pidgeot and Rhydon yet, and there is not much benefit in evolving in advance.

After all, there is no difference between the forms of Growlithe and Arcanine. It's nothing more than one is big and the other is small, but there is no difference in action and attack mode.

Since it doesn't matter whether it evolves or not, it's better to keep the level and let Growlithe slowly improve its skills, so that it can awaken its racial skills earlier.

Gary looked at Growlithe's training, and then looked at the training status of other Pokémon.

Exeggutor is training his mental strength with Alakazam. They are both wearing Power Lens to fight against Confusion. Without Sabrina's help, Alakazam's Confusion is not that strong. Even if it is Elite potential, it is about the same as Exeggutor and Gary's Alakazam at this time.

Wartortle was also training with Golbat. Both of them were carrying Macho Brace. Wartortle practiced Water Gun skills, while Golbat was dodging. In the dodging training, he better controlled his speed and found the fastest way to move.

All Pokémon were trained in an orderly manner. As long as they continued to train like this, their levels would gradually improve.

"Sabrina, do you want any Pokémon for tomorrow's auction?" Seeing that his Pokémon was trained very seriously, Gary also talked to Sabrina.

"Tomorrow's auction is for Pokémon. I am not very interested in captured Pokémon. Alakazam is enough." Sabrina said.

"That won't work. You are traveling now. As a Trainer, you still have to prepare the most basic Pokémon." Gary said.

"The most basic Pokémon?" Sabrina was confused. Although she was not a powerful Trainer, she had never heard of the most basic Pokémon.

"The most basic Pokémon are sea, land and air. Simply put, there are three types of Pokémon: those that swim in the water, those that run on land, and those that fly in the sky."

Gary shook his hand and explained in detail: "Although Sabrina knows how to Teleport, you can only be considered as Pokémon that run on land at most. You don't have any Pokémon that swim in the water or fly in the sky."

Sabrina thought about it carefully. There was nothing wrong with what Gary said. From a safety perspective, Pokémon that run on land do not need to be captured, but a Flying and water Pokémon must be captured.

"What you said makes sense, but as a Psychic Trainer, what kind of Pokémon should I capture?" Sabrina asked.

Sabrina is also a beginner in Trainer. She doesn't even know what Psychic Pokémon there are in this world, nor does she know what kind of Pokémon to capture.

"If they are all Psychic Pokémon, then the Psychic Pokémon with Water Type are Slowbro, Starmie, Bruxish, and veluza. They are all Pokémon with Water and Psychic Attributes." Gary listed all the Pokémon with Water and Psychic Attributes that he knew.

Sabrina was a little confused. She knew Slowbro and Starmie, but she had never heard of Bruxish and veluza.

"What are Bruxish and veluza?" Sabrina asked.

"Bruxish is a Pokémon unique to the Alola Region. It is a fish with very bright scales and very hard teeth. It uses Confusion to paralyze its prey in the sea, and then uses its strong teeth to crunch it. Even the shell of a Shellder is no problem."

"Veluza lives in the waters of the Padia Region and has a strong regeneration ability. If it encounters a natural enemy, it will directly abandon its meat. Moreover, the meat of Bruxish is very delicious, but it is rarely sold in the Kanto Region and is only available in very high-end restaurants."

Gary gave a detailed introduction to the basic situation of the two Pokémon.

"You know a lot." Sabrina was very surprised. It was hard to imagine that Gary, a 10-year-old child, knew so much about Pokémon.

"It's nothing. I was raised by my grandfather and have been influenced by him since I was a child. It's nothing special." Gary said.

"If you were to choose, who would you choose among these Pokémon?" Sabrina asked.

Gary would naturally choose Slowbro, because Slowbro can Mega Evolution, but Mega Evolution is not popular after all, and is currently only popular in the Kalos Region.

There are also Trainers in the Kanto Region who have Mega Evolution items, but they are not allowed to be used in competitions in the Kanto Region.

"If it were me, I would choose Slowbro." Gary said.

"Okay, then I'll go capture a Slowpoke." Sabrina then asked, "What are some Psychic Pokémon with Flying Type?"

"Psychic Pokémon that can fly don't necessarily have to have Flying Type.

I suggest that if you have a way to get it, you can choose Beldum, which can eventually evolve into Metagross, can Assist Magnet Rise Flying, and is very powerful."

Gary didn't introduce it.

Is there any need to choose a Psychic Pokémon that can fly? It must be Metagross.

"Metagross...!"

Sabrina was silent. She knew Metagross. After all, it was a Psychic Attribute Quasi-God Pokémon.

But it was too difficult to capture Metagross because it was a rare Pokémon. It was forbidden to capture it in the wild reserve. Although Metagross in the wild could be captured, the number was too rare to find.

"It depends on luck. Anyway, Sabrina, your Confusion can also make you fly. You don't need flying Pokémon for the time being." Gary said.

"If you use Psychic too much, you will have a headache." Sabrina reminded.

Although Sabrina can use Confusion to fly, it is also very mentally exhausting. Especially if Psychic is used too much, it will cause headaches and even mental disorder in severe cases.

"Psychic Pokémon with Flying Type are relatively Normal.

If you are sure you want to capture it, Xatu and Sigilyph are both good choices."

Gary said. "Then I'll think about it again and capture Slowpoke first."

Sabrina was not in a hurry to capture Pokémon, so she would take her time.

Anyway, she would capture a Slowpoke first.

"Sure, there seems to be a Slowpoke on the beach near Vermilion City. Do you want to go and have a look this afternoon?" Gary asked.

When the Slowpoke reaches the evolution level, it will run to the beach and use its tail to catch Shellder, waiting for Shellder to bite its tail, injecting neurotoxin, and then it can evolve into Slowbro.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look this afternoon." Sabrina also planned to go and have a look, since the distance was not far anyway.

However, Sabrina also had requirements for training Pokémon. The group of Slowpoke on the beach were all of ordinary potential, and there was only one elite potential, which Sabrina didn't like, so she planned to look for it late.
