The Chapter get Retranslated
The Vitality Candy really worked. After training, he found that even Ralts's stamina had improved significantly.
"I didn't expect her to train so hard."
Jiang Chen looked at Nidorina.
Among his Pokémon, Nidorina was the most desperate and diligent in training.
With Nidorina's efforts, coupled with Jiang Chen raising her talent to Elite Four-level, her future achievements would definitely not be poor.
Currently, Nidorina's apparent strength is Jiang Chen's strongest apart from Dragonite, but in a real fight, Nidorina might not be able to defeat Ralts and Beldum.
Jiang Chen's Shiny Ralts's mental power is terrifyingly strong, and its Psychic ability is inexplicably powerful. This is partly due to Ralts's talent and partly due to the Mysterious Slate.
Nidorina's hard work also motivated other Pokémon. Even Squirtle no longer complained about the strenuous training, because Nidorina's training was several times more intense than its own.
"Alright, Nidorina, come take a break."
While hard training is good, too much can be detrimental. If it leaves hidden injuries, it might affect future achievements.
Sweaty Nidorina came before Jiang Chen, who took out a nutrient solution and gave it to Nidorina.
The fatigued Nidorina felt its body recover and regained its motivation.
In the morning, Jiang Chen trained his Pokémon. In the afternoon, he planned to explore the forest to find suitable Pokémon.
He walked for two hours, but still found nothing. As expected, finding a satisfactory Pokémon requires some luck.
"Change the map."
Jiang Chen took out the map and checked for nearby places with many Pokémon.
"Anhua Valley, let's go there."
There are many Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon there, and there are also caves where many Pokémon like to live.
"If only I could encounter a wild Larvitar."
Larvitar's final evolution is Tyranitar, the Sandstorm Tyrant, but the probability of encountering a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the wild is almost like winning the lottery jackpot.
The probability is even lower than that.
It all depends on one's luck. If one is lucky, they might indeed encounter a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon when they go out, just like Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan's Dragonite was obtained by lucky encounter with a Dratini in the wild.
Encountering a Dratini with Champion potential, Jiang Chen even suspected his father was a Son of Destiny.
He had Alakazam take him to Anhua Valley. Common Bug-type Pokémon in the forest were rarely seen here.
Sandshrew, Diglett, and Geodude were more common here.
Rumble Rumble!!!
The ground suddenly shook, and then a behemoth emerged from underground, at least eight meters long, with a body composed of gray rocks.
"Onix."
Jiang Chen glanced at the Onix. The suddenly appearing Onix didn't attack him. As long as it wasn't provoked, Onix's temper was relatively docile.
This was much better than Gyarados.
After a quick scan, it had Elite potential. Jiang Chen had no intention of catching it.
"Let's go into the cave and see."
Ralts was perched on Jiang Chen's shoulder. He released Dragonite, Squirtle, Beldum, and Nidorina.
If they encountered any Pokémon that attacked them, it would be a good opportunity for them to battle, as progress is often fastest in combat.
"It's so dark, good thing I brought a flashlight."
Actually, even in the dark, Jiang Chen, with his Aura Power, could clearly perceive his surroundings, but it was still easier with light.
He looked up. Several Zubat were hanging upside down from the cave's rock walls.
Without disturbing them, Jiang Chen continued forward.
"Does no one usually come to this cave?"
Outside, he had seen a few Trainers catching Pokémon, but after coming inside, he hadn't encountered a single person.
However, after venturing deeper and looking around, Jiang Chen realized why: there were simply too few Pokémon here.
As Jiang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly saw a blue figure, and it was approaching him.
"Wobbuffet?"
Goodness, he didn't expect to meet the "Fruit God" in this cave.
Wobbuffet's expression looked quite comical, and its moves were interesting; it had no active attacking moves.
But don't underestimate it because of that. Its moves are all related to reflecting attacks, and it also has Destiny Bond, which can drag you down with it.
If you can't defeat me, I'll just reflect your attacks and defeat you.
[Wobbuffet]
Gender: Female
Strength: Elite Stage 3
Talent Potential: Elite
Attribute: Psychic
Ability: Arena Trap
Moves: Counter, Mirror Coat, Psychic, Encore, Destiny Bond
"The talent is a bit poor."
"Sooo nah~!"
Wobbuffet stood foolishly in front of Jiang Chen.
"Psychic-type, even if the talent is poor, it doesn't matter. There's still the Mysterious Slate."
Jiang Chen was genuinely interested in Wobbuffet, because battling with Wobbuffet would be a lot of fun; you'd have to perfectly predict the opponent's moves.
"After all, with the Psychic Slate, it wouldn't be too bad no matter how poor its talent is. Plus, I have Aura Power, so I can communicate through telepathy and give commands directly in the Pokémon's mind. Wobbuffet is indeed suitable for me."
He guessed it came to him also because of the Mysterious Slate's attraction.
Since he hadn't encountered any other suitable Pokémon this time, Jiang Chen decided to catch this Wobbuffet.
"How about becoming my Pokémon from now on?"
"Sooo nah."
Wobbuffet called out, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, so Jiang Chen directly threw a Poké Ball.
Catching Wobbuffet was simple; there was no need to battle, just throw a Poké Ball, and it wouldn't resist.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the 'Possess Six Pokémon' mission, you have received the reward: TM: Hydro Pump, 10,000 points!]
"This mission is finally complete."
Jiang Chen put away his other Pokémon and said to Alakazam, "Alakazam, you can take me back now."
There were no Pokémon in the cave that Jiang Chen was interested in. Even encountering Wobbuffet was an unexpected gain, although Wobbuffet wasn't a rare Pokémon.
He had finally understood these past two days: trying to catch a talented and rare Pokémon in the wild was almost impossible.
The Nidorina he caught wasn't rare. Its talent was good for ordinary people, but for Jiang Chen, it was mediocre. Fortunately, he had something to boost its talent potential.
And Wobbuffet, although relatively rare around here, wasn't a rare Pokémon either, and its talent potential was even worse.
If it weren't for Jiang Chen having the Mysterious Slate, even if he were interested in Wobbuffet, he wouldn't have caught this particular one.
