“It’s unbelievable that weather forecasts are inaccurate in every world.” Xiao Mao grumbled.
Due to his flying lessons at the driving school, Xiao Mao had been paying close attention to the weather forecasts. Flying lessons were impossible when the weather was bad.
While Flying Techniques could enhance the flight skills of Flying-type Pokémon, they were useless against severe weather.
“Bi!”
Pidgeot suddenly stopped and looked back, letting out a loud cry.
“Is bad weather coming?” Xiao Mao asked.
“Bi.”
Pidgeot nodded.
Pidgeot was a bird, they could sense changes in the weather naturally.
“Let’s go down then.” Xiao Mao said.
During the Flying Technique lessons, Ajin had emphasized the importance of landing and finding a safe place to hide if the Pokémon being ridden gave a warning.
Pidgeot slightly used Flying Techniques to fly a distance towards the power plant before landing.
“How could there be sudden bad weather?” After landing, Xiao Mao looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds, the weather was going to be terrible, likely a thunderstorm.
But thunderstorms weren’t bad for Xiao Mao, as Electric-type Pokémon loved stormy weather.
Before humans mastered the use of electricity, wild Electric-type Pokémon would absorb the natural lightning generated by the environment. Thunderstorms were naturally good places for Electric-type Pokémon to absorb electricity.
Due to the ferocity of thunderstorms, ordinary Electric-type Pokémon couldn’t withstand the power of a single bolt of lightning alone, so they would gather in groups to resist lightning and absorb its power together.
When thunderstorms arrived, Magnemite and Magneton would come out in groups to use their magnetic force to attract lightning and absorb it together.
The moment a thunderstorm appeared, Magnemite and Magneton nearby would run out, saving Xiao Mao the trouble of looking for them one by one.
Boom!!
Suddenly, lightning flashed through the dark clouds.
A few seconds later, Magnemite appeared from the forest and flew towards the power plant.
“So many Magnemite.”
Xiao Mao looked at the Magnemite emerging from the surrounding forests, there were over a dozen of them. The number was quite impressive, but unfortunately, the Magnemite around Xiao Mao were all of common quality, not even a single Elite-quality Magnemite.
“Crobat, come out.”
Xiao Mao released Crobat and had it stay on his shoulder, making it easy to use Dark Pulse when encountering a high potential Magnemite to prevent it from escaping.
Even if these Magnemite and Magneton were together, Xiao Mao could easily deal with them.
Xiao Mao moved towards the power plant, constantly observing the Magnemite coming from all directions.
【LV34 Magneton/Elite】
“Magneton!”
Xiao Mao saw a Magneton, unfortunately, it was only Elite potential, and Xiao Mao’s requirements for Pokémon potential were now higher.
Before, the standard for cultivating Pokémon was Gym-level, but after exploring the system for so long, Xiao Mao discovered that it was extremely difficult to obtain the crown for increasing Pokémon potential.
If Xiao Mao captured too many Gym-potential Pokémon, at most they would be able to be cultivated to level 49, unable to break through to level 50, their growth would be limited.
Therefore, Xiao Mao’s requirements for capturing Pokémon were now at least Champion, or even Quasi-Champion potential. However, this Pokémon must also have a first evolution stage, and it must be evolved through an evolution stone.
The key was that the system also had some Pokémon in the collection missions that Xiao Mao wanted to cultivate, and their potential could not be too low.
“Kuwii!”
“Kuwii! Kuwii!”
“Kuwii…!”
Soon, Xiao Mao arrived below a group of Magnemite and Magneton.
【LV20 Magnemite/Elite】
【LV8 Magnemite/Gym】
…!
【LV33 Magneton/Gym】
【LV33 Magneton/Gym】
…!
“Sigh, not even one Quasi-Champion potential.”
Arriving below the gathering of Magnemite, he saw quite a few Gym-potential Pokémon, but he didn’t see a single Quasi-Champion potential Magnemite or Magneton.
“That is…Electabuzz!”
Just as Xiao Mao was about to give up in confusion, a Pokémon with a yellow and black patterned body emerged from the forest. This Pokémon had a pair of plug-shaped horns on its head.
【LV31 Electabuzz ♂/Champion】
Xiao Mao’s eyes lit up.
Champion potential Electabuzz, definitely had to be captured.
But Xiao Mao didn’t rush to make a move, instead, he wanted to see what this Electabuzz was going to do.
Electabuzz came here naturally for the sake of enduring the baptism of thunder and absorbing a wave of electricity.
“Ware!”
Electabuzz opened its mouth wide towards the sky, and the surrounding Magnemite scattered, leaving a clear space for Electabuzz.
“So arrogant!” Xiao Mao was startled.
Although the Magnemite and Magneton had the advantage in numbers, they were not united. Electabuzz seemed to be the king of this area, a true little tyrant of the power plant.
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning struck down, the Magnemite clustered together, absorbing the lightning, their bodies bathed in golden lightning, as they absorbed the electricity.
Boom!!
One bolt of lightning after another struck down, the Magnemite and Magneton resisted in groups.
“Why is it all golden lightning?”
Xiao Mao had some knowledge of the electricity generated by nature. In the Pokémon world, lightning also had different levels, ordinary lightning was white and blue, and other colored lightning was of a higher level.
Yellow lightning was a bit special. Ordinary Pokémon releasing yellow lightning didn’t have much power, and humans in this world could resist it with their bodies, but golden lightning was different, its power was terrifying, higher than ordinary lightning.
But golden lightning was different, its power was terrifying, and it shouldn’t appear in ordinary thunderstorms.
And it would take time for Magnemite to absorb this golden lightning, the power of a thunderstorm was still very violent, and it needed to be absorbed slowly.
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning struck down straight, crashing down on Electabuzz.
Electabuzz was very domineering, Magnemite would gather in groups of seven or eight to absorb a bolt of lightning, but Electabuzz wanted to swallow it alone.
“Ware!”
Golden lightning fell on Electabuzz, but it didn’t dissipate, it swirled around Electabuzz in the form of energy, Electabuzz forcibly absorbed this lightning power into its body.
Seeing Electabuzz’s actions, Xiao Mao thought of Pikachu. Pikachu had protected Ash by taking the lightning for him, and that’s how Pikachu became so powerful.
It seemed that this Electabuzz knew that lightning could enhance its strength, so it was deliberately absorbing lightning at this time.
But absorbing lightning alone was very dangerous, Pikachu almost died back then.
