Chapter 5
Taming Dandan

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look.”

Xiao Mao was very brave, and not afraid of encountering anything unclean. He quietly approached the bush with Squirtle.

Taking advantage of his height, Xiao Mao could see what was behind the bushes. It was a small pile of leaves, with leaves and weeds constantly floating onto it. It was quite strange.

“What kind of Pokémon is it?”

Xiao Mao knew it was a Pokémon playing tricks, but he couldn’t remember what Pokémon in Kanto would disguise itself in such a way.

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like only the Shinx from Sinnoh would do something like that. Shinx would use leaves to cover itself in order to deceive its enemies.

“Squirtle, use Water Gun on that pile of leaves.” Xiao Mao immediately picked up Squirtle and gave the command.

“Jeni!”

The Squirtle being held also saw the pile of leaves. It fired a Water Gun, hitting the target without missing. Under the impact of the Water Gun, the pile of leaves was instantly scattered, revealing the true identity of the Pokémon inside.

“Egg! Egg!!!”

There were 6 light pink eggs. Except for the middle egg which had no cracks, the other 5 eggs all had cracks. Each egg had a different expression. One was smiling, four were angry, and one was sad. The sad egg’s shell had not only cracked, but also the yolk inside could be seen.

【LV10 Exeggcute♂/Gym Potential】

“Exeggcute!!”

Xiao Mao was also surprised to find an Exeggcute with Gym potential.

Exeggcute is a very good Grass-type Pokémon. It’s secondary type is Psychic. It can evolve into Exeggutor by using a Leaf Stone.

Exeggutor has a base stat total of 530, exceeding that of Venusaur, the Grass-type starter, by 5 points. Combined with its rare Psychic-type, it has high breeding value.

Also, Exeggcute needs an Evolution Stone to evolve. This is different. When a Pokémon evolves with a high-quality Evolution Stone, its potential after evolution will be enhanced.

High-quality Evolution Stones are expensive, but Xiao Mao is no ordinary person. He is the grandson of Professor Oak, a mere high-quality Evolution Stone is nothing for him.

In a flash, Xiao Mao decided to capture this Exeggcute.

“Exeggcute!!”

The Exeggcute was also very flustered. It was already dusk, and as a Grass-type Pokémon, its combat power would decrease at night.

This Exeggcute sensed that the sun was about to set, so it used weeds and leaves to hide itself. It didn’t expect to be discovered.

“Water Gun!” Xiao Mao immediately issued an attack command.

“Jeni!”

Squirtle, having battled all afternoon, was now in top condition, and quickly fired a Water Gun.

Exeggcute panicked and a transparent rainbow barrier appeared in front of it. However, the barrier did not block the Water Gun, which passed through it straight and hit Exeggcute.

This is Exeggcute’s Light Screen, which can be used to defend against physical attack moves, while Water Gun is a special attack move, and Light Screen naturally doesn’t work against it.

The Exeggcute in front of him was a wild Pokémon and naturally didn’t know much about it. After all, the Pokémon living in this area mainly use physical attacks, and Light Screen can naturally defend against their attacks.

However, against Squirtle, who can use special attacks, Exeggcute’s Light Screen is useless.

“Good, keep using Water Gun.” Xiao Mao saw that this Exeggcute had very poor combat experience, even if it had a type advantage against Squirtle, it couldn’t take advantage of it.

Exeggcute was puzzled, just like Xiao Mao had guessed, as to why its Light Screen hadn’t blocked Squirtle’s attack.

However, Exeggcute didn’t give up. It continued to defend with Light Screen, but it still had no effect. It was hit by the Water Gun again, and after being hit twice by the Water Gun, Exeggcute’s HP dropped significantly.

“Egg!”

Exeggcute knew that if it kept this up, it would be defeated. The 6 Exeggcute all sprayed emerald green seeds at Squirtle.

Bullet Seed!!

“Use Rapid Spin to deflect them!” Xiao Mao saw what move it was and immediately ordered.

Squirtle retracted its body into its shell, using Rapid Spin to deflect all the seeds and charge towards Exeggcute, hitting Exeggcute’s Light Screen.

“Maintain this stance and use Water Gun!” Xiao Mao immediately ordered.

The rapidly spinning shell, with Water Gun spraying out from the opening, the Water Gun accelerated by the rapid spin, like a water blade, constantly striking Exeggcute, knocking it several meters away.

Exeggcute fell to the ground, the 6 eggs’ eyes spinning in circles, losing its ability to fight.

“Go, Poké Ball!” Xiao Mao threw the Poké Ball in his hand towards Exeggcute.

Bang!

The Poké Ball accurately hit Exeggcute, trapping it inside.

The Poké Ball fell to the ground, shook slightly, then stopped shaking.

【Ding! Task completed, rewards have been sent to your Storage Box.】

“Awesome, I caught Exeggcute!” Xiao Mao said happily. This was the first time he had captured a wild Pokémon by fighting. It felt so good.

“Jeni! Jeni!” Squirtle also waved in celebration. It had been fighting all afternoon, and didn’t know what Pokémon Xiao Mao was trying to capture. Now there was finally a result.

“Jeni!”

Squirtle ran over, picked up the Poké Ball, and returned to Xiao Mao’s side, handing the Poké Ball to Xiao Mao.

“Thanks.”

Xiao Mao patted Squirtle’s head, took the Poké Ball, and checked the specific attributes of this Exeggcute.

【Pokémon: Exeggcute】

【Type: Grass, Psychic】

【Level: 10】

【Potential: Gym】

【Ability: Chlorophyll (When under the sunlight, speed will be increased.)】

【Moves: Absorb, Hypnosis, Light Screen, Bullet Seed.】

【Friendship: 121 (Max 255)】

“Chlorophyll Ability, not bad!”

Xiao Mao was very satisfied with this Exeggcute’s Ability. If it had been the Harvest Ability, he would have been in trouble.

The effect of the Harvest Ability is to have a 50% chance to replicate the Berries carried by the Pokémon. This Ability is completely designed for games.

In reality, the Harvest Ability is useless in combat, but it is very helpful for fruit farmers. It can make the fruit trees produce more fruits.

Pokémon with the Harvest Ability are fruit farming masters for fruit farmers, and are very popular with them.

【Ding! Release task: Green’s Champion Team, capture and train the following 6 Pokémon/Pokémon: Blastoise, Pidgeot, Alakazam, Tyranitar, Arcanine, Exeggutor.】

【Reward: Rare Candy (For Pokémon below level 70, level +1) X10, Super Rare Candy (For Pokémon below level 50, level +1) X10, Bronze Crown X1, Silver Crown X1, Gold Crown (For Pokémon below Legendary potential, Potential level +1) X1】

“Green’s Team!!”

Xiao Mao was shocked by the task suddenly released by the system, seeing the 6 Pokémon required for the task.

It’s obvious that this is the team of Green, the Champion in the THEORIGIN chapter. Green is actually Xiao Mao himself.

“The rewards are very generous, and these Pokémon are all very valuable to train.” Xiao Mao thought this task was quite good.
