...!
Three days have passed since we went to Devon to revive the fossils.
Over the course of these three days, Shigeru and Higanbana maintained a steady pace, making time each day to train their Pokémon.
With Eevee and Giganotosaurus helping to supervise the Pokémon's training, Gary is quite relaxed, turning his back on the world and fishing for eternity.
0 ... ....
"Why are they all mudskippers and carp...!" Xiao Mao looked at the mudskippers he had caught, speechless.
For three consecutive days, the Pokémon that Xiao Shi caught most often were Magikarp and Slug; he didn't find any other Pokémon.
"Shigeru, aren't you bored? If you want to catch a Water-type Pokémon, why don't you just let Latias go underwater and take a look? Why do you have to fish for it yourself?" Higanbana suddenly came over and complained.
Higana was puzzled by Shigeru's behavior, wondering why he would go fishing for Water-type Pokémon when there were already some available.
“You wouldn’t understand. This is a kind of romance that only men can understand. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” Xiao Mao said.
"Really?" Xijiana thought of the older men in the village who would go fishing in the underground river when they had nothing to do, and the village aunties would say that this was a good-for-nothing thing to do.
"What? Is your training over?" Xiao Mao asked.
Since Sigana is a newcomer, the way she trains her Pokémon is also determined by Gary. At this point in time, Sigana should be training her baby Tyrannosaurus.
"Baby Tyrannosaurus has finished his physical training ahead of schedule today, so he's taking a rest," said Higana.
"If we finish ahead of schedule, we'll increase the training volume. Baby Tyrannosaurus will be fighting in close combat from now on, so we need to train his stamina to the limit," Xiao Mao said.
"Alright, alright, then let's have extra training tomorrow. Consider today a day off for our baby Tyrannosaurus." Higana agreed, but she still felt sorry for her baby Tyrannosaurus.
345: The Sloth with Champion Potential
"what ever.".
Gary looked at Higanbana pleading with him and didn't say anything more. After all, Higanbana only wanted to become a dragon trainer, not the world's strongest trainer.
The requirements to become a dragon trainer are simple: just tame a team of dragon-type Pokémon.
"When are we going into the tunnel?" Higana asked.
They have now arrived at the entrance of the Kalu Tunnel, but it is noon, so Xiao Mao has chosen to rest and will enter the tunnel after the rest period.
"I'll wait until I catch another one." Xiao Mao was still unwilling to give up and wanted to catch a different kind of Pokémon.
"Okay, then I'll pack my things." Although Xijiana thought Xiao Mao was not doing his job properly, she still believed in his skills; at least he could catch fish.
The water isn't just home to fairies; there are also ordinary fish. Thanks to Xiao Mao, we've had fresh fish to eat every six or seven days for the past three days.
The next moment, the float was pulled down, and Xiao Mao raised the rod accordingly. Li Ka felt a force pulling him.
Xijiana noticed this and immediately began to watch carefully.
Gary struggled with the unknown Pokémon underwater. Thanks to his super rookie physique, he managed to hold out for several dozen seconds until the Pokémon ran out of strength and was successfully pulled to the shore by Gary. It was a red Magikarp.
【LV7 Magikarp♀/Elite】
"Ah, it's Magikarp!" Higanbana exclaimed. She was initially excited when she learned that Magikarp could evolve into Gyarados, but lost interest after learning that Gyarados wasn't a Dragon-type Pokémon.
"Let's go."
Shigeru was also disappointed. It seemed there weren't any good Water-type Pokémon in this river. He removed the hook from Magikarp and released it back into the river.
"Huh, what kind of Pokémon is that?" Just then, Higanbana saw a white Pokémon hanging on a tree facing outwards, and casually took out her Pokédex to scan it.
Illustrated Guide: "Lazy Otter, a lazy sprite, always lying down and sleeping, hardly moves at all..."
Xiao Mao also looked up and looked across at the other side. He was shocked by what he saw.
【LV10 Lazy Otter♂/Champion】
Xiao Mao hadn't noticed before, but this lazy otter actually had champion potential, which really made Xiao Mao a little tempted.
Slako can eventually evolve into Slaking with a base stat total of 670, which surpasses most legendary Pokémon and is only 10 points lower than top-tier Pokémon.
If it weren't for the Sloth ability hindering Slaking, even with a useless ability, Slaking could still hold its own in PvP thanks to its high base stats.
"What would happen if I enhanced the Lazy trait?" Shigeru suddenly thought of this.
Pokémon with the Lazy trait can only act once and then rest for two turns. However, this is just a game effect. In reality, they are just lazy. They might act once and then rest for the entire game. Being able to act once and rest for two turns is considered diligent.
However, there is one exception. His Slaking is very special. It can ignore the Sloth trait and can keep moving throughout a battle. That person is Senri, the Petalburg Gym Leader.
I met Senri once when I visited Orange City. Since Senri was able to do it, he probably didn't use any technological means. I think other "slave kings" have a chance to do it too.
After learning about the EX Lazy trait, Shigeru felt that the EX Lazy trait was the key reason why Slacker could keep moving, but he wasn't quite sure what the specific effects of the EX Lazy trait were.
"A lazy elf? Are there really elves like this?" Upon hearing the description in the Pokédex, Higana immediately felt disdain for the Sloth. She, Higana, was very hardworking, and she didn't like this lazy Sloth at all.
"Ibu!" Shigeru suddenly shouted.
Before long, Ibrahimovic came running over.
"Buee." Eevee ran over and asked if there was anything he needed to do.
“Use your mental power to move the lazy otter from the other side over,” Xiao Mao said.
“Buyi”.
Eevee looked across the river and saw the Slakoth hanging in the tree. Using Psychic, the Slakoth was caught off guard. Even though its body was floating, it only moved lazily and extremely slowly, as if it were being slowed down.
Ibu also found it strange, wondering why the sloth otter didn't resist. Even after placing the sloth otter on the grass, it only let out a lazy groan.
"Eevee?" Eevee tilted its head, looking at Gary, as if asking, "Are you really going to catch this Pokémon?"
"Of course, let's see how it develops." Shigeru took out a Poké Ball and threw it at Slako. The Poké Ball hit Slako and captured it.
The Poké Ball did not shake violently; it wobbled slightly a few times before stopping.
It is clear that the lazy otter is too lazy to even struggle to break free.
"What? You caught it just like that?" Higana was incredulous. She had never caught a Pokémon like this before. It wasn't based on feelings, but just a brief encounter, and she managed to catch it with a single Poké Ball.
"Calm down." Xiao Mao said, indicating that it was nothing compared to Gouhao. He was just normal.
"That's how lazy otters are; they're too lazy to break free," Xiao Mao said.
"Too lazy to break free... You even tamed a spirit like that?" Higana asked, puzzled.
Xiao Shi's previous Pokémon all seemed normal, so why did he suddenly catch a lazy dog Pokémon?
"Don't underestimate Pokémon. Slako's behavior is entirely due to its ability; it's not weak at all," said Gary.
"Really?" Higana thought about how the lazy otter had looked like it hadn't woken up yet, which had nothing to do with the word "strong".
“Of course, I will nurture it,” Xiao Mao said.
"Are you sure you can raise them? I doubt you can even train the lazy otter," Higana said.
Xiaomao "...!"
It must be said that what Hilaria said is correct; Slaking is indeed very difficult to train. Currently, only two trainers in the entire anime have managed to train Slaking, and both of them are from the Hoenn region.
One is Senri, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, and the other is a green-haired boy named Shota, who was one of Ash's trainers during his travels in the Kalos region. He is known as Shota.
Trainers usually start by training Slaking from Apexis because Apexis is active enough that there are no training problems. But if you start by training Slaking, it will be a very tedious process.
Fortunately, Xiao Mao doesn't need to worry too much about this. He can just eat candy. However, Xiao Mao wants to see how fast the lazy otter's natural growth rate is first. If it's too slow, he'll consider using magic candy to level up.
346: Kalu Tunnel Collapse
【Elf: Lazy Otter♂】
[Attribute: Normal]
【Level: 10】
[Potential: Champion]
[Characteristic: Lazy (After taking one action, a long rest is required (the length of the rest period depends on the user's condition)].
[Skills: Grab, Yawn, Slack off.]
【Intimacy Level: 100 (Maximum 255)】
Looking at the description of the Lazy Otter trait, Xiao Mao also had a headache. Just as he guessed, the Lazy Otter trait in reality means that after each action, the rest time is completely random. This state should depend on whether the Lazy Otter is tired. If it is tired, it will rest for a long time.
"System, if I use an Ability Enhancement Stone on Sloth now, will its Ability become EX-Action when it evolves into Hyperactive Ape?" Gary asked.
No, after evolution, the original characteristic will be replaced by the evolved characteristic.
Shigeru frowned. He was still thinking of using an ability enhancement stone on Sloth now, so that when it evolves into Apexis, he would see what the EX Energize ability would do.
The system now says that when a Pokémon evolves, the enhanced trait after level 11 will be replaced, effectively blocking that path.
"Will a Pokémon's ability be replaced after it Mega Evolves?" Gary asked.
When a Pokémon Mega Evolves, its ability is replaced but becomes its EX ability. When the Mega Evolution ends, the ability reverts to its original state.
Hearing this, Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief.
In this case, Blastoise's Mega Evolution will change its ability to EX Mega Launcher.
It's likely that the power of wave-type moves will be increased even more. To see exactly how much more, refer to EX Torrent, which would increase power by at least 150%.
After looking at the data of Lazy Otter.
Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana packed their luggage and set off again, entering the Karu Tunnel.
The Kalu Tunnel originally didn't exist; it was just a mountain. However, the city of Kanaz and the town of Greenland decided to make travel easier and jointly built the Kalu Tunnel. Now, you can reach Greenland by passing through the Kalu Tunnel.
The ground inside the tunnel is relatively flat, and mountain bikes can easily ride on it. It takes less than two hours to reach the other end of the tunnel.
However, halfway through their ride, the two saw a group of elves appear ahead.
"Niu Niu!" Gu Niu Niu, who was lying in Xi Jiana's bicycle basket, looked ahead in surprise.
Shigeru and Higanbana simultaneously gripped the brakes and stopped the car. Looking at the Pokémon blocking the road ahead, they realized that these Pokémon were not rare, but rather ordinary Ginniu. This explained why Higanbana's Ginniu was so surprised.
Wild elves also live in the Kalu Tunnel, and this Gu Niu Niu is one of them. However, Gu Niu Niu is usually very afraid of humans, so it is impossible for them to gather here and block the road.
The key point is that after seeing Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana, these Gu Niu Niu didn't intend to run away. One of the Gu Niu Niu walked up to them and called out, "Niu Niu...!"
"Bah!"
