“Squirtle, come out!”
Xiao Mao thought hard for a while, and finally decided to let Squirtle evolve, which would be safer.
“Kame...” Squirtle looked around, there was no opponent, and everyone else was gone, he immediately understood.
“Hehe, I'll give you a power boost,” Xiao Mao said.
“Kame! Kame!”
Squirtle was immediately delighted. He was so envious when he saw the sudden strengthening of Scyther. Now, he could strengthen himself so soon!
Come on, I'm ready!
Xiao Mao smiled, placed his hand on Squirtle's head, and directly used 5 Intermediate Wonder Candy.
Squirtle LV31—LV36!
“Kame!”
Squirtle felt his power increase, his cells grew rapidly, his body glowed white, his original one-meter-tall body grew to Xiao Mao's height in a breath, and his figure became more robust.
The light of evolution dissipated, a giant turtle-shaped Pokemon appeared. Blastoise's shell had two cannons extending from the front, which could be used to fire powerful water blasts.
“Kame!”
Blastoise felt that he was much stronger than before evolution, especially in terms of strength. He could also contain more water element energy.
Xiao Mao also used the Insight Eye to view Blastoise's attributes.
【Pokemon: Squirtle ♂】
【Type: Water】
【Level: LV36】
【Potential: Champion】
【Ability: Torrent (When HP is low, Water-type moves increase in power.)】
【Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Withdraw, Rapid Spin, Water Pulse, Protect, Rain Dance, Shell Smash, Hydro Cannon, Water Blast】
【Tutor Level: Water Blast】
【Friendship: 255 (Max value 255)】
【Held Item: Top-Grade Mysterious Water Drop】
“Not bad, awakened three skills.”
Xiao Mao was surprised.
After evolution, Blastoise actually awakened 3 skills. Was this the terror of a Champion Potential Pokemon?
The move Shell Smash should have been awakened when Squirtle's level was raised.
Only Hydro Cannon and Water Blast were awakened by evolving into Blastoise. Basically, when Squirtle evolves into Blastoise, it will definitely awaken the Water Blast skill. This is Blastoise's signature move.
“Let's go, go back and familiarize yourself with your new body.”
Xiao Mao retracted Blastoise into the Poke Ball and rode his mountain bike to the public field near the Pokemon Center.
Then he released all his Pokemon.
“Cha?”
“Da??”
“Yeddan??”
“Wang??”
“Hu?”
All the Pokemon looked at the suddenly evolved Blastoise, all with confused expressions.
“Kame!” Blastoise was proud, saying that thanks to his trainer's help, he had finally evolved to his final form.
All the Pokemon just rolled their eyes. After all, Xiao Mao trained his Pokemon and would let them evolve as quickly as possible when they could.
Currently, among Xiao Mao's Pokemon, only Golbat and Growlithe had not evolved.
Golbat was because his friendship wasn't high enough, and he couldn't evolve yet.
Growlithe didn't need to evolve early.
Golbat and Growlithe looked at Blastoise. The original three brothers, instantly became two.
“Alright, everyone, start your afternoon training. Scyther, you're going to train with Blastoise and help Blastoise get used to his current body,” Xiao Mao said.
Xiao Mao wasn't going to challenge the Gym today. After all, Blastoise had just evolved, and compared to the Squirtle and Wartortle stage, Blastoise had a huge change in size, mainly because he became heavier. Also, there were two more cannons on his attack, so he needed to get used to them before the Gym battle.
The Pokemon all put on the Compulsory Training Device and went off to train their skills.
Blastoise and Scyther stood at attention.
“Blastoise, first use your cannons on your shell to attack. Scyther, you use Shadow Clone as a target for Blastoise to shoot at,” Xiao Mao instructed.
“Cha.”
“Kame.”
The two Pokemon nodded. Scyther immediately distanced himself from Blastoise and used Shadow Clone.
Blastoise immediately adjusted the position of the cannons on his shell and continuously fired water balls from the cannons.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...!
The water balls flew out, each accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air. The water balls landed with a "Bang!" sound, splashing everywhere.
This was just Blastoise's Water Gun skill, but just from the power, it was already comparable to a slightly smaller Water Blast. After having cannons, the water-type skills used by the cannons had a clear increase in power by nearly double.
However... the accuracy was a bit off. Scyther's Shadow Clones hadn't moved yet, but the water balls had already missed.
“Kame...!” Blastoise was embarrassed too. Scyther's clones hadn't moved, but he missed. It was too embarrassing.
“It's okay, you just evolved, you're not used to using the cannons, it's normal. Keep practicing, you'll get used to it soon,” Xiao Mao comforted him.
Blastoise's aiming ability wasn't bad. After all, he had trained in the Wartortle and Squirtle stages. Now, he just wasn't used to his evolved body yet.
Just an hour of training, and Blastoise had already gotten used to using the cannons to attack, the hit rate had also returned to normal. He had also tried the Water Blast skill and familiarized himself with it a little.
After that, Xiao Mao let Blastoise stop training and start physical training.
This made Blastoise difficult. After evolution, Blastoise's body was especially heavy. He no longer had the flexibility he used to have. His moving speed wasn't fast or slow, but Blastoise could still use Rapid Spin to move around, his speed wasn't bad either.
Xiao Mao knew Wartortle would encounter this predicament later, so after Wartortle mastered the Rapid Spin skill, the morning physical training was for Wartortle to retract into his shell and use Rapid Spin to run.
Even if Blastoise's moving speed slowed down, he could still move around by using Rapid Spin. Also, after evolution, Blastoise's defense was even higher, his control over the elements was more refined. He could create a water flow that spun rapidly to defend himself.
“Alright, everyone can rest.”
The time was 4 o'clock, and Xiao Mao stopped the training.
Blastoise's training progress was okay, but Xiao Mao wasn't in a hurry to challenge the Gym. He planned to spend another two days familiarizing Blastoise with his body.
Two days later.
Xiao Mao's Pokemon team.
Blastoise LV36—37!
Exeggutor LV26—28!
Scyther LV30—31!
Golbat LV25—27!
Alakazam LV20—23!
Growlithe LV12—15!
All of Xiao Mao's Pokemon had improved slightly. Because of his low level, Growlithe's improvement rate was the fastest.
After a Pokemon reaches level 30, it takes nearly a week for Scyther to go from 30 to 31. The improvement speed is quite slow. This is related to the Pokemon's potential.
