[Evolve or Lay Down? (Gold)]: As a Cyndaquil with no desires, it feels that it is fine to live as a Cyndaquil, and it is also OK to live as an evolved Quilava.
Cyndaquil feels that it is no big deal whether it evolves or lies down.
Once evolved, its own talent will be upgraded by one level, and its own strength, skill power, and move effect will be permanently increased by 50% (can be upgraded). (Note: The longer the evolution time accumulates, the greater the degree of improvement after evolution will be.)
Two golden entries appeared on this Cyndaquil, which was pretty good.
[Fireworks on the Back (Gold)], the effect of this item, which improves one's own strength, needs no further explanation.
The second entry, [Evolve or lie down? (gold)] is quite interesting.
"In other words, the longer this Cyndaquil maintains the Earl Dervish form, the greater the increase in power it will gain when it evolves?"
Ash looked with interest at the Cyndaquil in front of him, who was staring blankly in the cave with his eyes narrowed.
Well, although Cyndaquil's eyes are originally squinty.
And Ash did remember that this Cyndaquil, in the form of Earl Dervish, lasted for a full 507 episodes in the animation.
It was not until the Sinnoh Region Lily of the Valley Conference that it finally evolved from Cyndaquil to Quilava.
By the way, in the original storyline, of the three starter Pokémons that Ash captured in the Johto Region, except for Totodile, the other two had only evolved to their second form.
"Infernomon is not bad, but it would be better if it was in the form of Region Washi~~~"
Infernape has two forms. One is the current normal Johto Region Region form, which is a pure Fire Type.
The Xicui Region is the ancient name of the Sinnoh Region. At that time, the Inferno Beast was a combination of Fire Type and Ghost Type, an extremely powerful form.
Unlike all the Infernos discovered so far, the Infernos from the Tsui-Choi Regional Variant is very calm and graceful, and is an elegant and beautiful Pokémon.
The back of the Infernape in the Xicui Region is dark purple, and the flames around its neck have turned purple-red.
The flames from the neck generate as many as 108 balls of phosphorus, which will transform into a terrifying beast and attack the enemy.
According to research, it was influenced by the spirit of the sacred mountain standing in the center of Xicui that formed its current appearance.
Occasionally, its gaze is seen wandering through empty space, and it is said that this behavior is watching the flow of life energy or the soul.
Although sometimes they eat souls that have nowhere to go, people believe that the eaten souls will be purified through fire and return to where they belong.
The Infernape in the Xicui Region is usually mild-tempered and non-belligerent, but once it gets angry, it will explode and burn Rival to ashes.
The dual attributes of Fire and Ghost, and the special attack value is not further improved.
"If Cyndaquil evolves into Quilava, it will be affected by the [Evolve or Lie Down? (Gold)] entry."
"Then if Quilava evolves into Infernape, it might trigger another evolutionary term like this."
"Let Infernape return to its ancestral form of Fire Type and Ghost Type in the Jadeite Region."
Ash was pondering and observing in his mind, but his hands were moving very quickly.
"Go, Heracross~"
He raised his hand and released the first Pokémon he had captured in the Johto Region.
"Knock down that Cyndaquil."
"Heracross!!"
The Dual Wingbeat wings fluttered behind him, and his inky black body looked like an Oreburgh.
The big horn on the top of the head radiates a cold light under the refraction of the sunlight.
The entire Pokémon is illuminated with an extremely bright glow from top to bottom.
At first glance, it is clear that he has been bred very well, he is full of energy and his momentum is extremely amazing.
"It's finally time for Heracross to take the stage."
In the back, Xiaogang and Misty were also watching the excitement.
"Yeah, Ash hasn't captured any other Pokémon in this period of time.
"So I'm focusing all my attention on Heracross, but I'm training it very seriously."
"I can't help it, this Heracross is just too greedy, always thinking about absorbing tree sap or looking for nectar from Grass-Type Pokémon.
"But fortunately, with Ash's training over this period of time, its strength seems to be very effective."
Well, during this period of time, Heracross has been living a life where heaven and hell coexist.
The reason why it is called hell is naturally because of Ash's training of it. When adventuring in the wild, he trains it almost every day.
It is really miserable for it, it is just a mild-tempered Heracross who wants to live a carefree life.
As for training it to be a fighting machine?!!
Sometimes, Ash's training made it so ecstatic that it even had the urge to escape.
But yeah~~~
I really can't bear to let go of Heracross.
There is no other reason, apart from the days like hell, there are naturally the days like heaven.
Every time after training and manipulating it, Ash would take out high-quality nectar as if he had turned into a trick!!
Those are things that Heracross itself cannot find, collect, or even smell.
Only available at Ash, this is a delicious nectar made with a unique recipe!!
This is what makes Heracross so addictive.
As a result, it feels that even if it suffers a lot, it will be rewarded as long as it can eat this nectar.
That's worth it~!!
Therefore, Heracross was training there while crying and feeling so miserable that he wanted to die.
Then after the training, she continued to taste the nectar with tears in her eyes, feeling so happy that she wanted to die.
Well, anyway, Heracross's love for nectar and his gluttonous desire for food still exceeded Bide's limit in overcoming the hard work of training.
Let Heracross still be obedient and willing to continue to follow Ash.
The main thing is that it continues to secretly look for other trees to absorb sap.
As a result, no matter how hard it absorbed, it couldn't taste the nectar and sap that Ash gave it.
For this reason, it had no choice but to give up and just follow Ash with peace of mind.
And Ash said~~~
System products must be top quality!!
This is his unique nectar recipe based on the cultivation suggestions given by the entry system, specially designed for the taste of Heracross.
How could it possibly taste the same as the sap from a big tree outside Solaceon?!!
As long as he has such a recipe in hand, Heracross still has the greedy desire and Covet for nectar and sap.
Then it will definitely not be out of Ash's hand...
Well, if you think about it this way, it seems that there are some evil practices similar to those of villains~~~
Anyway, the strength of this Heracross is improving by leaps and bounds under Ash's careful training.
That is to say, Heracross does not have an evolved form.
Otherwise, it might have evolved twice.
Even so, its current level has been trained to a very high level by Ash.
It is more than enough to fight against a Cyndaquil in the form of Earl Dervish, which is not of a high level.
Even though it is at a disadvantage in terms of Attributes.
It is enough to ignore this restrained Contest Condition.
"Heracross, using Bug Buzz."
"Hera? Hera~"
When Heracross heard the move [Bug Buzz], he was stunned for a moment.
After making sure that he had not heard wrongly, he scratched his head, stretched his head forward, and pushed out his big horns.
Well, Heracross is a melee physical attack type fighter.
Its attack Species Strength is as high as one hundred and twenty-five.
However, the special attack Species Strength is only a pitiful 4,000 points.
It is not very good at special attacks, and special attacks like [Bug Buzz] are awkward and inconvenient to use.
In fact, this is exactly what Ash needs.
"Cyndaquil itself is not very strong, if you use other physical attack techniques, it will be easy to hurt it.
"That is, as a Bug Type that is restrained by Fire Type, Heracross is not good at the special attack move [Bug Buzz].
"It will be able to reduce the damage a little bit~~~"
Immediately, the sound waves of insect chirping were emitted from the big horn of Heracross.
The attack generated by the sonic waves hit Cyndaquil accurately.
"I..."
Cyndaquil only had time to utter a cry before she fell to the ground beautifully.
"Go, Pokémon Ball!"
Ash threw a Poké Ball without hesitation.
Click~whoosh!!
The precise hit and the red light shot out, completely collecting Cyndaquil into the Poké Ball.
Beep~beep~buzz!!
After shaking twice symbolically, the baby ball became silent.
"Very good~!!"
Ash's mouth curled up slowly, "I conquered Cyndaquil!!
"Heracross!!"
"Pikachu~!!"
Heracross, who took out Cyndaquil's Pokémon ball, also celebrated for Ash together with Pikachu.
Misty and Xiaogang in the back also congratulated with smiles on their faces:
"This is the second Pokémon you've captured since coming to this Johto Region, Ash!!"
"Congratulations~!!"
Well, it's only the second Pokémon…and the number is indeed a little less.
Ash tossed the Pokémon ball in his hand that contained Cyndaquil.
Then he pinned it around his waist: "I will capture more Pokémon later!"
In this Johto Region, there is no shortage of excellent and powerful Pokémon~~~
"But next, I remember we were finally going to Azalea Town, right?"
Ash looked towards the distance of the forest again: "The second gym Badge is waving at me in the same way~~~"
After Ash and his group successfully captured Cyndaquil, the Earl Dervish Pokémon in this Johto Region.
Also continue to move out of the forest.
When they finally came out of the forest, they were met with extremely strong sunlight.
The weather was extremely hot, and people were almost dried up by the sun.
But fortunately, when they finally overcame the heat.
Azalea Town was already in sight, appearing at the end of the road ahead.
Azalea Town is a small town in the southern part of Johto Region.
Mr. Oreburgh, who lives here, can use the cones to make Pokémon balls with special functions.
Slowpoke Well is a famous attraction nearby.
In the original storyline, the three members of Team Rocket, who were also suffering from thirst, came here through a drought area.
But the water in the well had dried up, and only dust came out.
So they used the Diglett robot to dig up the groundwater and tried to capture the Slowpoke here.
Mr. Oreburgh from the town later stops Team Rocket from capturing Slowpoke after hearing strange noises coming from the area.
Afterwards, the Slowpoke group came to the top of the Slowpoke Well and used Rain Dance to save their companions.
Eventually Team Rocket was driven out of the well and flew to Soaring in the sky.
Speaking of Slowpoke, this city seems to respect Slowpoke very much.
"`"Due to the continuous drought, water supply restrictions have been implemented~~~"
At the entrance of Azalea Town, Ash and his party also saw the sign at the entrance, which read:
"Government offices, schools, and Pokémon gyms are all closed for the time being."
Even the Pokémon gyms are closed...
"Then it seems that we have to hand over this G.S. ball to Mr. Oreburgh first."
The G.S ball that Professor Oak entrusted to Ash has always been well preserved by him.
Master Oreburgh is a famous Pokémon ball forger, so you can just ask him in this city.
The trio then took the lead and stepped into the town, wanting to find someone to ask.
The first thing I saw was the signs with Slowpoke shapes printed on them.
And it's not just the logo on it.
Even every corner of this town is filled with Slowpokes.
Knowing how much Slowpokes are loved in this city, Ash was very careful along the way, trying his best to avoid stepping on the Slowpokes sleeping in the middle of the road.
In the eyes of the residents of this city, Slowpoke is the Slowpoke God.
Moreover, the degree of their crazy fanaticism is enough to cause a huge sensation and riot.
Well, it's mainly because the residents here are all rather stupid.
In the original storyline, after Ash stepped on Slowpoke's tail, a naughty kid claimed that he bullied the Slowpoke God.
The result was condemnation and pursuit from the entire town.
In the end, it was Mr. Oreburgh who gave them Slowpoke camouflage clothes, which allowed them to escape.
The residents here can't even tell whether it's a real Slowpoke or a Slowpoke coat.
Moreover, Ash and Misty both brought Pikachu and Togepi with them. There were several weird Slowpookes gathered together, and there were also Pikachu and Togepi around them, but these residents (Li Liaohao) didn't even suspect anything.
To be honest, their brains are not as stupid as normal ones.
Otherwise, I wouldn't believe in Pokémon like Slowpoke.
As for why this is the case~~~
"Of course, a long, long time ago, there was a severe drought just like this one~~~"
In the park of Azalea Town, Ash and others found the old man wearing a Slowpoke coat.
The old man is happy to share the situation of this small town with foreign tourists and trainers.
Well, it is mainly to make them realize the extraordinary significance of Slowpoke in this town.
Prevent unnecessary troubles and conflicts.
"That was about four hundred years ago, and it didn't rain every day."
"The sun is so strong and fierce that almost the entire place is being burned to death."
"And one day, a Slowpoke appeared, and that Slowpoke just happened to...
"It hit a big Yawn, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain heavily."
"It saved the local water shortage crisis."
"Since then, local people have worshipped Slowpoke like a god."
The old man wearing Slowpoke clothes introduced it like this.
"I see. This kind of thing has happened before~~~"
Misty and Xiaogang understood, "But why, Uncle Yin, are you wearing Slowpoke's puppet clothes?"
"It's such a hot day, don't you feel hot?"
"Of course I'll tell you~!!"
The old man said matter-of-factly, "This is to avoid scaring the Slowpoke God who lives in the Slowpoke Well."
He is primarily responsible for managing the Slowpoke Well.
And the true identity of this strange old man is...
"You are Master Oreburgh, right?"
Ash looked him up and down, then asked directly.
"Yes, that's right, it's my level."
Master Oreburgh pulled down the brim of his Slowpoke hat, revealing a face that was exactly the same as the one shown on Professor Oak's computer.
Same hairstyle, same angles and expression.
