Qing Wu's Golbat, even in its Zubat stage, was considerably larger than average Zubats. After evolving into a Golbat, it was almost as tall as Qing Wu himself.
[Pokémon: Golbat (Light Cyan)]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: 28]
[Type: Poison, Flying]
[Ability: Infiltrator]
[Egg Moves: Gust, Hypnosis]
[Basic Moves: Absorb, Tailwind, Supersonic, Astonish, Mean Look, Poison Fang, Air Slash, Bite, Haze, Acid Spray]
[Tutor Moves: Shadow Ball, Aerial Ace]
This Zubat not only evolved, but its level also increased by three with the aid of the advancement potion, and it even learned the move Acid Spray.
Although Qing Wu was somewhat disappointed by Golbat's light cyan aptitude, it had at least advanced into the light cyan aptitude range. This aptitude basically meant there would be no bottlenecks in breaking through to the Elite Four level.
Moreover, Golbat still had one more evolution opportunity. Qing Wu was going to use this opportunity to significantly improve Zubat's aptitude.
"Knock knock knock." Qing Wu's dorm door was knocked again. Qing Wu opened the door and saw that it was Lei Ming.
"Leader, I've found all the information you asked for," Lei Ming said as he and Aileen entered Qing Wu's dorm.
"Aileen, have you found all your Pokémon materials too?" Qing Wu saw Aileen also carrying a backpack.
"Yes, I've found them all," Aileen nodded.
"I happen to have Houndoom's fresh blood now. This blood can make your Pokémon evolve more perfectly."
Qing Wu knew from Cang that the trial was about to end, so he had to seize the time to enhance the strength of Aileen and Lei Ming, his two most important subordinates.
And the best way to improve strength was evolution.
"Lei Ming, Meowth's potential is still great; it can evolve a bit later. I don't have suitable materials on hand right now. Later, I'll write a recipe for energy cubes for you."
"You can find someone named Xiao Xiao among the Rocket Team breeders. You just need to tell her that if you stir orange juice for 10 minutes and then refrigerate it at -101 degrees for two hours, you'll get what she wants."
The person Qing Wu mentioned was an anomaly among Rocket Team breeders, specializing in researching Pokémon evolution aptitude. She was also a great breeder.
Qing Wu got along very well with this person. She was considered half a master to Qing Wu in his previous life. A small part of the breeder's energy cube recipes was researched by Qing Wu and her together.
What Qing Wu mentioned was a bottleneck she inadvertently brought up when Qing Wu was doing research with her in his previous life. Although she solved it later, it wasted a lot of her time.
"It's the same with Electrike; focus on energy cubes first. As for Beautifly, just consider it your support." After all, Beautifly's aptitude wasn't high; at most, it could only serve as support.
Beautifly had already evolved, so if Lei Ming wanted to improve its aptitude, the cost incurred might overwhelm him.
"As for Spinarak, I've formulated an evolution potion for it." Qing Wu took out a violet-colored potion from his backpack, which shimmered with an alluring glow under the fluorescent light.
"Drink it quickly. You just need to give it to Spinarak. It can replenish part of Spinarak's origin. As for Houndour's portion, Aileen, give me the materials," Qing Wu handed the evolution potion to Lei Ming.
Lei Ming immediately called out Spinarak. Spinarak affectionately crawled up Lei Ming's pant leg to his arm, revealing a happy smile.
"Drink, Spinarak. We must stand at the pinnacle of the world and spread throughout every corner of the Pokémon world!" Spinarak directly drank the evolution potion Qing Wu had formulated.
Spinarak's body immediately emitted a white light, its size continuously increasing, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
"This Spinarak's evolution will take a while. Let's prepare Houndour's evolution potion first." Qing Wu took Aileen's backpack and pulled out many Pokémon materials from it.
Qing Wu used the simplest tools to extract the active substances from the materials, finally obtaining a clear, transparent liquid.
Qing Wu finally took out a dropper, drew a drop of Houndoom's fresh blood, and dripped it into the test tube. The transparent liquid quickly changed color, becoming as fiery red as molten lava.
Countless bubbles emerged from the test tube. From a distance, it looked like a test tube full of magma.
"This evolution potion can replenish part of Houndour's origin, but I can tell you that because of the addition of Houndoom's fresh blood, the medicinal properties are not that gentle, so Houndour needs to rely on its own willpower to endure." Qing Wu handed the potion to Aileen.
"If possible, evolve it here. I can also observe the Pokémon's condition and adjust at any time," Qing Wu said to Aileen. Although his face remained expressionless, Aileen felt Qing Wu's concern.
"Okay," Aileen unhesitatingly poured the reagent into Houndour. Houndour immediately felt its blood boiling, and a fiery sensation slid down its throat to its stomach. Houndour felt hot all over.
A white light burst from Houndour's body, accompanied by Houndour's mournful cries.
"Leader, will Houndour be alright?" Aileen tightly clutched her clothes.
Houndour was her very first Pokémon, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to it.
"It'll be fine. It's just some pain. This evolution potion can stimulate Houndour's bloodline and make it stronger. But Aileen, you owe me a Fire Stone." Qing Wu thought for a moment. To better promote the effect of the evolution potion, Qing Wu took out a high-quality Fire Stone from his backpack.
"This is a high-quality Fire Stone." Aileen saw the Fire Stone burning like a candle flame and immediately understood that this Fire Stone was expensive.
Aileen saw Qing Wu's confusion as to how she recognized it as a high-quality Fire Stone.
"My family deals in evolution stones. I grew up touching evolution stones, so I understand the quality of evolution stones better than anyone."
"Leader, rest assured, I will repay you with a high-quality Fire Stone, or another evolution stone of equal value," Aileen promised Qing Wu.
"Alright," Qing Wu said nothing more, quietly watching Houndour's evolution.
Qing Wu knew how painful this Houndour's evolution was, as if its entire body was being burned by fire.
Almost every inch of skin could feel the pain of nerve burns. This was an illusion, the pain caused by fiery heat burning an inferior bloodline.
It was as painful as when Gloom evolved into Bellossom, using the power of a Sun Stone to burn away its poison attribute.
For Gloom to evolve into Bellossom, it had to feel the pain of being burned by the scorching sun 24 hours a day, non-stop, to evolve into Bellossom.
Evolution in the Pokémon world wasn't like in games, where you just evolve once you meet the conditions and reach the required level. It required comprehensive consideration of many factors.
