Just then, Aqing glanced at Mankey's data.
[Pokémon: Mankey (Orange)]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: 17]
[Type: Fighting]
[Ability: Vital Spirit]
[Egg Moves: None]
[Basic Moves: Seismic Toss, Karate Chop, Low Kick, Fury Swipes]
This orange-Qualifications Mankey was slightly stronger than a red one.
After being sent flying by the wind blade, Mankey's eyes turned bloodshot, and it evolved regardless of anything else.
The evolution time was extremely short, at a speed Aqing couldn't even predict.
Generally, a Pokémon's evolution takes at least fifteen minutes, and some even take several hours.
This real world wasn't like the anime, where evolution completed in just a few seconds.
A Pokémon appeared, entirely made of muscle and very similar to Mankey. The evolved Primeape was even fiercer.
Moreover, when Aqing scanned Primeape again, he found that Primeape's level had increased to 22, a full 5 levels higher.
This was also a full 7 levels higher than Zubat.
The evolved Primeape also became more resilient to hits.
"Zubat, use Poison Fang." Aqing shouted to Zubat. Zubat used this move for the first time.
Zubat's four milky-white teeth instantly turned purple. Poison-type energy swirled around Zubat's teeth, looking somewhat unsettling.
"Following the last method, use Quick Attack in Tailwind state," Aqing continued to command Zubat.
If Zubat were hit by Primeape now, Primeape's punches would twist Zubat's slender wings, and in severe cases, even cause fractures.
Unfortunately, under Zubat's Tailwind and Quick Attack, Primeape's eyes only saw a flash of white light, then felt a pain on its body.
Two bleeding holes, bitten by canine teeth, appeared on its arm, and black blood flowed continuously from them.
Primeape's face suddenly turned green, and it fell into a poisoned state.
This was the advantage of Poison-type Pokémon. Zubat's venom spread throughout Primeape's body as its capillaries expanded.
Not long after, this pig-nosed Primeape completely collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Zubat's venom was a neuro-paralytic poison. Aqing thought for a moment and decided to capture this Primeape.
After all, this was an orange-Qualifications Pokémon, and an evolved one at that.
Although evolved Pokémon have slightly lower potential, they are much stronger in both power and speed than unevolved Pokémon.
Aqing thought this Primeape should be worth a lot of points, so he unclipped a Poké Ball from his wristband and pressed the button.
The originally ping-pong ball-sized Poké Ball immediately became apple-sized. Aqing threw the Poké Ball towards Primeape.
The moment the Poké Ball touched Primeape, Primeape turned into a white light, and the button in the middle of the Poké Ball flashed red.
One flash, two flashes, three flashes, then the Poké Ball dimmed, indicating that Primeape had been captured by Aqing.
Aqing quickly released Primeape and had Zubat suck the poisonous blood from Primeape's body.
Zubat was utterly ecstatic after sucking the hot blood, mixed with venom, from Primeape's body after its intense battle.
Aqing waited until Zubat had absorbed all the poisonous blood from Primeape, then used a Poffin made from Pecha Berries to remove the remaining toxins from Primeape's body.
Only then did Aqing return Primeape to its Poké Ball.
"Quick, let's go." Mankey were pack Pokémon. Having one Mankey meant there was a Mankey colony nearby.
Sure enough, shortly after Aqing left, a large group of Mankey appeared in hordes.
Aqing searched around, using his experience from his previous life to avoid some powerful Pokémon.
He let Aron and Zubat attack in turns, defeating some actively attacking Pokémon.
Finally, as the sun was about to set, Aqing found an abandoned cave. This cave was near a relatively large lake.
Compared to the cave Aqing had been living in for the past few days, it was much more spacious. There were some scratch marks around the cave entrance.
However, Aqing could tell that the owner of this cave was no longer inside.
Wild Pokémon either moved out of their caves due to persecution by powerful Pokémon, or something unexpected happened to them.
Aqing saw the neatly laid dry grass and the cleanly swept cave inside, indicating that something must have happened to the cave's owner.
Aqing unexpectedly discovered the presence of an underground spring in the cave.
These sweet, clear spring waters were excellent raw materials for making Poffins.
The sun gradually set, and the moon slowly climbed high into the sky.
A bright moon reflected on the lake's surface, with occasional breezes rippling silver waves, sparkling like a silk ribbon adorned with gems.
Some nocturnal Pokémon frolicked in the lake, adding much life to the clear, quiet night.
Aqing had already sprinkled a circle of insect and snake repellent powder around the cave. This powder was made from dried and ground medicinal herbs he had collected.
A bonfire was already burning. The flames of the bonfire leaped and danced in the cave, casting golden light, warm and bright.
Under the small flame of a windproof lighter, Aqing had a very smooth time starting the fire this time.
Two plump fish were already hanging above the bonfire. The flames devoured the oil seeping from the fish, leaving a smoky aroma.
Outside the cave, Pokémon occasionally passed by to drink water from the lake.
Aqing had already had Aron raise two huge rocks, tightly blocking the cave entrance.
Spending the night in the wild mountains, he dared not fully rely on the powder.
After all, some hungry Pokémon wouldn't care about the unpleasant smell of the powder. Aqing didn't want his peaceful sleep disturbed again, or to be devoured by ferocious, high-level Pokémon while he slept.
The next day, Aqing was woken by the chirping of Pidgey.
At this moment, the sun had risen high. The forest was filled with the buzzing sounds of Beedrill flying everywhere, many of them collecting honey.
Aqing saw that Zubat had already woken up and was exercising its skills with Aron. Aqing was very pleased to see this.
After all, no matter how good a Pokémon's talent was, if it didn't work hard, even the best talent would struggle to achieve greatness.
Only when a Pokémon was truly diligent and hardworking could it continuously break through.
"Aron, use Metal Claw on the rock." Aqing commanded directly.
Metal Claw was also Aron's most proficient move.
From Aron's preparation to executing the move, it took less than a second. Two silvery, cross-shaped Steel-type energy slashes struck the rock, which immediately shattered into countless small pieces.
"Zubat, starting today, you will carry Aron and undergo weight training."
Aqing wove a cute basket for Aron with vines and tightly tied it to Zubat's wings.
The Zubat-branded airplane was born. Zubat looked utterly lifeless as Aron excitedly climbed into the basket. It suddenly felt an immense weight, and its legs wobbled, almost losing its balance.
Then, Zubat violently flapped its wings several times.
After a long pause, both sides were embarrassed.
Finally, Zubat readjusted its posture and, with the power of Tailwind, barely managed to drag Aron, flying clumsily through the air.
This reminded Zubat of the pain of its initial training.
o(╥﹏╥)o It was too difficult for a bat.
Aron, flying for the first time, seemed excited, constantly looking around. It turned out that looking down at the forest from the sky felt like this.
"Aron, follow Zubat and observe Zubat's flight trajectory, predicting the flight direction of Flying-type Pokémon."
Aqing gave instructions to Aron.
Aron and Zubat, these two cheerful companions, would eventually embark on adventures together. No, that's wrong, they would explore the forest.
No matter what Aqing said, Aron and Zubat would immediately execute it. This was the unspoken understanding developed through long-term training.
