【LV15 Butterfree♂/Gym。】
After evolving into Butterfree, its level also rose to 15, a significant increase. Perhaps this is a characteristic of Pokémon like Butterfree.
Whether it's a Metapod or a Kakuna, after evolving, the level will increase slightly, ranging from 1 to 10 levels. The exact increase should be judged based on the Pokémon's own potential.
Xiao Mao also used his Insight Eye to check Butterfree's attributes.
【Pokémon: Butterfree (Shiny)】
【Type: Bug, Flying】
【Level: 15】
【Potential: Gym】
【Ability: Compoundeyes (Because of Compoundeyes, the accuracy of moves will be increased.)】
【Moves: String Shot, Bug Bite, Gust, Supersonic, Psychic, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder.】
【Intimacy: 255 (Full value 255)】
"Not bad, it's awakened so many moves. It's basically all the moves that Butterfree can awaken at this stage." Xiao Mao said with surprise.
Pokémon will awaken their racial moves after reaching a certain growth level, but not all Pokémon have the chance to awaken them.
Even Pokémon with champion potential may not awaken all their racial moves.
Pokémon with high potential can only awaken the more critical moves in their racial moves, not all of them. This can be referred to as Xiao Zhi's Pikachu.
Whether a Pokémon can awaken all its racial moves depends not on potential, but on the Pokémon's own comprehension. The higher the comprehension, the more racial moves it will awaken.
Xiao Mao remembers that Xiao Zhi's Caterpie, after evolving, awakened Gust, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore.
While Xiao Mao's Butterfree has awakened six moves, three times the number of Xiao Zhi's Butterfree, it shows that this Butterfree has a very high comprehension.
"I didn't expect you to have such high comprehension." Xiao Mao touched Butterfree's fluffy head, unsure how to treat Butterfree for a while.
According to Xiao Mao's original plan, Butterfree was only a temporary training partner, and it would be replaced in the later stages. But this Butterfree has such high comprehension, it would be a pity to give up.
Xiao Mao thought for a while and decided to nurture it for the time being. After all, the number of Pokémon he catches in the future won't be many, so it's okay to nurture it. It depends on how far Butterfree can grow.
"Come in, we're going back." Except for Squirtle, Xiao Mao put all the other Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.
Keeping a Pokémon outside is naturally to have a companion on the road, so it won't be boring, and it can also act as a bodyguard.
......!
Rest at the Pokémon Center for one night.
The next day.
Xiao Mao rode his mountain bike to the entrance of the Pewter Gym.
"It's so dilapidated."
Xiao Mao looked at the Pewter Gym made of stone, only feeling dilapidated.
Gyms at this time are relatively dilapidated. It wasn't until two years later that the league allocated funds to help various local cities rebuild gyms.
However, the Pewter Gym has been around for a long time, older than Xiao Mao's grandfather. It's said to have been established by Xiao Gang's grandfather.
【Ding! Task Released: Obtain the Pewter Gym Badge/Reward: Low-grade Wonder Candy X10, Sharp Stone Permanent Skill Learning Device, Exquisite Hard Stone (Rock-type Skill Power Increased by 50%) X1!】
"Here comes the task, Sharp Stone Permanent Skill Learning Device." Xiao Mao said in surprise.
Skill Learning Devices are something only in the game. When used by a Pokémon, it can master the corresponding skill. However, the Skill Learning Devices in the game are one less each time you use one.
Skill Learning Devices are great.
In reality, apart from Pokémon awakening their own racial moves, if they want to learn new moves, they can only find skill masters and pay to learn them. And it's not guaranteed that they will be taught.
This can be seen from Xiao Zhi's journey. Xiao Zhi also found masters to teach his Pokémon to learn skills. Learning one skill takes at least 3-7 days. To train it into a habitual skill, it takes a lot of time to practice. It can be said that teaching skills is a time-consuming and laborious task.
Even the current league champions and Elite Four in all regions, the number of skills taught in their main Pokémon's skill pools is only in the single digits. This shows how difficult teaching skills is.
Hard Stone is an attribute enhancement item. Its original effect should have been to increase the power of Rock-type skills by 20%. This Exquisite Hard Stone increases it by 50%. It's awesome.
Xiao Mao quickly parked his mountain bike and came to the front of the gym.
There's no bell at the entrance. Xiao Mao pushed open the door directly. The inside of the gym was dark. A few stone pillars came into view. On the high platform at the end, a squinting young man was sitting on a stone cushion.
The squinting young man is Xiao Gang.
Xiao Mao doesn't understand why Xiao Gang is sitting there. Obviously, he's deliberately sitting there waiting, but he doesn't turn on the lights. He wants to scare someone.
Xiao Mao faced Xiao Gang and shouted, "Are you Xiao Gang?"
At this, a beam of light shone on Xiao Gang.
"Who are you?" Xiao Gang asked.
Xiao Mao thinks Xiao Gang is putting on a cool act.
There must be surveillance outside the gym, and this guy must know that he's coming. He came here in advance and sat here waiting.
Xiao Mao knows how busy Xiao Gang is. In addition to taking care of the gym's affairs, he also needs to take care of nine younger siblings. Plus, the Pokémon in the gym also need to be taken care of.
It's broad daylight, it's busy time. How can he have time to sit here waiting for someone.
Xiao Mao didn't expose Xiao Gang and replied, "My name is Xiao Mao, I'm from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge the gym."
"Is this your first time challenging a gym?" Xiao Gang asked.
"Yes."
"Gym battles are different from play fighting on the side of the road. It's a formal competition of the Pokémon League, with rules." Xiao Gang reminded him.
As the gym trainer of Pewter City, Xiao Gang accepts challenges from most new trainers nearby. Many new trainers, fearless and arrogant, come to challenge the gym, and end up being humiliated.
"Gym Master Xiao Gang, I understand the rules of the gym battle. I'm different from those new trainers." Xiao Mao said.
Xiao Gang was stunned for a moment, he could see that Xiao Mao was very confident, and he knew it was useless to say more, so he no longer persuaded him, and said, "You can only use two Pokémon, understand?"
"Okay." Xiao Mao nodded.
Xiao Gang snapped his fingers, the lights on the ceiling of the gym lit up, and at the same time, two rock platforms appeared on both sides of the field, connected together to form the battle field.
Xiao Gang jumped down from the high platform and took out his Poké Ball.
"Since you understand the rules of gym battles, let the match begin."
Xiao Gang threw the Poké Ball hard.
Bang!
A round stone with a face appeared on the field, with an arm on each side.
