Chapter 32 - "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick" in the world of Pokemon.
Chapter 32: “Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick” in the world of Pokemon.
“Both Feebas and Magikarp, the evolved form of Feebas, belong to the Water-type Pokemon family and share some common traits,” Guxin explained.
“In their basic forms, they are both very weak or rather… not just weak.”
Guxin’s gaze fell upon the Feebas in the Pokedex, whose appearance was very unappealing.
“But Boss, didn’t you say that there are no truly weak Pokémon in the world, only weak trainers?” Lin Sheng asked with confusion.
Gu Xin: “…”
Is this guy here to make trouble? Is there anyone who dismantled it like this?
Guxin looked at Lin Sheng with a puzzled expression. That line was just meant to be motivational talk. He intended to convey that they shouldn’t judge Pokémon solely based on their strength. Did Lin Sheng really think there were no weak Pokémon left?
Chen Yun’s eyelid twitched, and he gave Lin Sheng a speechless look. Why did he suddenly become so low in emotional intelligence?
“I guess I misspoke…”
After asking, Lin Sheng realized his mistake, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly.
“No, actually, that statement isn’t wrong. It’s just that Magikarp and Feebaas are exceptions.”
Guxin explained with a smile.
“Magikarp is considered one of the weakest and most pitiful Pokémon because no matter how hard it tries to train throughout its life, its strength is difficult to improve.”
“However, Magikarp possesses incredibly tenacious survival instincts. It can survive in any polluted water.”
“The same applies to Feebaas. They prefer to live in riverbeds with rich aquatic plants, but even in dirty rivers, Feebaas can survive.”
Magikarp was extremely weak because if it didn’t evolve, it could only learn five moves throughout its life! Yes, only five moves—no egg moves either!
With training, a Magikarp’s jumping ability could become stronger, but its signature move’s power was limited because of its inherent limitations.
“But compared to Magikarp, Feebas is definitely better because Feebas can learn a lot more moves than Magikarp,” Guxin continued.
But in fact, the power of their moves was not much different from that of a Magikarp. They were the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world of Pokemon.
In the Pokedex, Magikarp was listed as the “World’s weakest and poorest Pokemon,” and Feebas, its pre-evolved form, was listed as the “World’s ugliest Pokemon”.
Both fish types are the same Pokemon.
“So, will Feebas become very strong after evolution?” Bai Qianqian asked curiously.
“Yes, no matter how hard you train and breed a Feebas, it will not be able to give much back to its trainer even if it wants to.”
“All this effort is not meaningless, as after evolving, all this accumulated effort will be sublimated in the Milotic.”
“Even though Feebas is considered the ugliest Pokemon in the world, after evolving into Milotic, it was once crowned as the world’s most beautiful Pokemon,” replied Guxin.
Yes, Milotic was once rated as the world’s most beautiful Pokemon.
That was right. After the appearance of Diancie in the Carlos region, it was crowned as the world’s most beautiful Pokemon.
Upon hearing this, Chu Kelian and the others were taken aback.
“World’s ugliest evolving into world’s most beautiful? That’s really interesting,” Chen Yun raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“As I said before, there are no weak Pokemon in the world. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, your Pokemon will one day repay your expectations.”
This sentence was essentially still just a piece of empty encouragement.
Guxin looked at the intrigued expression of Bai Qianqian and explained that the Magikarp was actually the most populous species in the Pokemon world.
Magikarp was found everywhere in rivers, lakes, seas, and even small streams and ditches, while Feebas, on the other hand, were not as widespread as Magikarp.
But the Pokemon Diamond Pokedex also explicitly states that there were actually a lot of Feebas in the wild!
Yes, they were very abundant!
There seemed to be quite a few wild Gyarados in the Pokemon world.
However, compared with the total number of Magikarps, the number of Gyarados in the wild was so small that it was indescribable.
And as for Milotic, it was even rarer. The description of Milotic in the Pokemon Diamond Pokedex also states that it was an extremely rare and beautiful Pokemon, and it was very difficult to find one in the wild.
The talent and potential of the Feebas provided by the system were undoubtedly adequate for evolving into a Milotic. It all depended on the training provided by Bai Qianqian.
“Once regarded as the world’s most beautiful Pokemon…” Bai Qianqian’s heart did indeed stir.
Since this was what the boss said, it should be true.
“Boss, I want a Feebas,” Bai Qianqian said, making her decision.
She was very curious about what Feebas’ evolutionary Milotic looked like. The name Milotic sounded so beautiful to her!
“Please wait.”
Not too surprised, Guxin replied and walked to the compartment.
Soon, Guxin came back with a small bucket.
Indeed, there was not much to do about it. Feebas was just a fish, after all…
“Hey, It’s really not very pretty.”
Chu Kelian leaned forward immediately, looked at the Feebas in the bucket quietly in the water, and complained in her heart.
The appearance was almost exactly the same as in the Pokedex or reality. It was more ugly than imagined.
“Beep! Feebas, Water-type, Fish Pokemon.
Features: Free to swim.
Unique Moves: Leap, Dragon’s Breath.
The ugliest of the Pokemon, known for their shabby appearance, they live in packs despite their sheer numbers. ”
The electronically synthesized voice slowly introduced the information about the Feebas in the pitiful Pokedex.
Chen Yun and others also silently recorded the Feebas in the Pokedex.
“I have inherited the ultimate dragon skill. Miss Bai Qianqian must breed it well,” Guxin said to Bai Qianqian.
“Since I have decided to subdue it, I will definitely treat it well.”
Bai Qianqian nodded, then walked to the bucket, blinking her beautiful eyes at the Feebas in the water.
“I will be your trainer from now on, Feebas. Let’s work hard together.”
After looking at the Feebas for a long time, Bai Qianqian finally smiled and said warmly to the Feebas.
Grunt!
A bubble rose from the bottom of the water, and the Feebas’s head emerged from the water, its dull eyes staring at Bai Qianqian.
“I will let you evolve as soon as possible.”
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qianqian stretched out her hand to gently stroke the Feebas’s head and assured her in a warm voice.
Feeling the touch on her body, Feebas froze for a moment, then buried his head in the water silently to hide. But it was obvious that the Feebas in the water were still staring at Bai Qianqian.
“It seems to be shy, and it seems to be a very shy Feebas.”
Guxin smiled at the puzzled and dazed Bai Qianqian.
Hearing Guxin’s explanation, the corners of Bai Qianqian’s mouth raised slightly. Although she looked a little awkward, she was really cute.
