Chapter 102: Magikarp, In Thought
“Wow, Li Wei, what kind of Magikarp is this?!”
“Grass”
“It really started from being a Trainer with no intention of being a good person!”
Even someone as humble and aloof as Zhou Fengjue couldn’t stay calm when watching a Magikarp finish off his Pokémon in an extremely brutal way.
This was his current strongest combat power, the Grovyle!
And most importantly, this wave, this was a type advantage crushing victory!
How did his Grass-type Grovyle lose so helplessly to a Water-type Magikarp?
Everything written in the textbooks is all lies, right?!
Thinking this way, Zhou Fengjue now wanted to use his family’s connections to find the textbook compilers and argue with them.
What do you mean Magikarp is the weakest, most pitiful Pokémon??
Look at this lively one, where is it weak??
On the contrary, his own Grovyle that was beaten without any ability to fight back, completely crushed in speed, strength, and attribute energy, seems weaker, right?!!
At this moment, Zhou Fengjue, who had near-perfect expression control, couldn’t help but take crazy deep breaths, rubbing his face with his hand to try to keep his facial expression normal.
Too terrifying.
No matter what Pokémon it is, in Li Wei’s hands, it seems able to unleash powerful strength.
Originally, he thought his brother Li Wei had gotten ahead of himself, daring to use his third Pokémon to solo his starter Pokémon, but he never expected that the one who got ahead of himself was actually himself.
“I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll come challenge your Magikarp again tomorrow!”
Saying this, Zhou Fengjue picked up the Grovyle that was gradually regaining consciousness, gave a fist salute to the victorious Magikarp, didn’t even enter the house to drink tea, and directly turned back to his own courtyard to start training.
Watching this scene, Li Wei couldn’t help but feel some emotion in his heart.
A kind of ‘my family’s silly son has finally grown up’ emotion.
Magikarp perfectly defeats Grovyle!
That Magikarp who only frantically nagged shouting about diligence······
Thinking of this, he actually had an impulse to shed tears of joy.
Perhaps this is the charm of being a Pokémon Trainer!
Pokémon growing, evolving, becoming stronger, is actually more joyful than improving his own abilities.
Perhaps this is the charm of being a stay-at-home dad!
It had to be said that Li Wei was in a great mood, and even the Magikarp’s breakfast today was much richer.
At this time, Li Wei didn’t notice that the usually silent Magikarp became unusually silent after the victory.
Magikarp was thinking.
It might be surprising to say it, but Magikarp was really thinking.
It recalled the feeling in its heart during the battle just now, recalled the ‘finish it off, Iron Tail’ command that was now clamoring in its brain, recalled its first battle with Older Brother Riolu when it was weak, recalled its tired appearance during this period of diligent training······
‘I···became stronger!’
All along, under the suppression of several mountains at home, Magikarp only knew to strive forward, only knew to train desperately, only knew that it wasn’t strong enough yet.
But today, it defeated someone for the first time, and suddenly realized that it was no longer the little Magikarp that was powerless against human capture nets, no longer the Magikarp that had no way to parry under Riolu’s hand, nor the Magikarp that knew no techniques and only charged recklessly······
It had changed.
It had become stronger.
Moreover, what excited it even more was that its instinct was telling it that it could become even stronger!
‘One day, will I stand at the top of this world?’
Thinking of the story Eevee sister told it while holding the picture book, the story of little Riolu and Eevee working together to become stronger and ultimately challenging the divine beast Ho-Oh, Magikarp couldn’t help but have some fantasies in its heart.
If that day really comes and the things in the picture book all become reality, then in the team challenging Ho-Oh, will there be me, the Magikarp···no, me after evolving into Gyarados?
‘If I really succeed, I will surely become the role model and pride in the hearts of all Magikarp, right?’
Thinking this way, Magikarp’s desire to become stronger grew even firmer, to the point that while chewing the special energy cubes Li Wei made for it, it couldn’t help but look up to the sky and roar loudly, “Karoo——!”
······
Smack.
After the long roar, it was unceremoniously knocked on the head by Li Wei.
“Why are you suddenly roaring so loudly???”
“Karoo! Karoo karoo karoo!!!”
【Diligent Li Wei!! I want to become stronger!! Finish eating quickly!!! Let’s add more training tasks!! Wow kaka kaka!!!!】
The sudden shouting made Li Wei a bit worried. He checked the date, and it was time for the doctor’s appointment, so Li Wei contacted Doctor Liu on WeChat without hesitation.
Doctor Liu went from being free labor to Li Wei’s Pokémon’s exclusive private doctor. Originally poached through his father’s connections, but later Li Wei discovered this doctor had a lot of knowledge, so he hired him at 40% above the market rate for ordinary private doctors.
He only needed to regularly do physical examinations for his Pokémon every week and formulate diet plans.
Perhaps because Doctor Liu worked at a related research unit, the diet ratios he formulated were often much better than those from the nutritionist his mother introduced.
And his personally carried medical equipment was very comprehensive, no need to go to the Pokémon Center for checkups and expose any secrets that couldn’t be seen, especially for Eevee, who could safely get checked here.
Although Doctor Liu, who could ride a Dragonite everywhere and possessed Purity, wouldn’t bend for this 40% extra salary, out of interest in Eevee and concern for Li Wei as an elder, he still agreed.
That afternoon after Li Wei’s appointment, Doctor Liu rode his Dragonite over.
After the examination, Doctor Liu didn’t directly recite a string of food ratio tables to Li Wei based on the data like usual. This unusual behavior made Li Wei, who was already ready with pen in hand, very unaccustomed.
“Um, Doctor Liu, is something wrong?”
Li Wei asked him.
Seeing Doctor Liu frowning, even the usually carefree Li Wei couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Could it be·····
“Doctor Liu, is something wrong with Eevee?”
Li Wei asked him.
“No, it’s not Eevee that’s the problem.”
Hearing Li Wei’s question, Doctor Liu came back to his senses, pinched his brows, and said to Li Wei.
“The one with the problem isn’t Eevee, it’s your Magikarp.”
“Magikarp? He······What’s wrong with him??”
Sure enough, something big happened with its brain!!!!!
“Its various indicator values have major issues.”
“What specific problem??? Doctor, can he still be saved?? He eats everything with relish every day, except for being a bit dumb in the brain, he shouldn’t have any major illness, right?”
These days, the probability of Pokémon getting sick is already very low. With various auxiliary Pokémon and powerful medical systems today, as long as it’s not direct death, there are basically no incurable difficult diseases.
“Oh, it’s not related to illness, you don’t need to worry.”
“It’s just······this growth curve of the values is very problematic.”
Saying this, Doctor Liu came to the table and spread out the document in his hand for Li Wei to see.
“To make it easier to understand their physical improvements and growth in various values, I print out the previous report for comparison, but look, compared to the last detection report and assessment, its improvement magnitude is really too large.”
Doctor Liu said to Li Wei.
“Hm? Big improvement, isn’t that a good thing?”
“Yes, it’s a good thing, but you have to know that all Pokémon have species ceilings and physical limits. Without evolution, Pokémon will face a limit to their abilities.
If you want to break through this limit without evolving, unless you use an Everstone.
The lower and weaker the innate species values, the more constrained they are by this rule, especially for Magikarp. Your Magikarp’s values are already very outrageous, and now there’s this skyrocketing growth—do you think that’s normal?”
Faced with Doctor Liu’s rhetorical question, Li Wei fell silent.
Hearing him say it this way, Li Wei felt that his Magikarp did seem······a bit abnormal?
“Is it related to it awakening Dragon Attribute talent? Like the concentration of Dragon Blood or its parents or something?”
Li Wei thought for a moment and asked.
“If that were the case, do you think 100% evolution-guaranteed, super strong Dragon Blood Magikarp wouldn’t be circulating on the market right now?”
·······
“Then what’s the reason?”
Unable to refute Doctor Liu, Li Wei chose to give up thinking.
“First tell me about your Magikarp’s habits and exactly what it did this week, then I’ll make a judgment.”
Saying this, Doctor Liu took out his computer and recorder from his bag, like treating some research project, fully prepared.
Although Li Wei was a bit speechless, this was also a top priority concerning Magikarp.
If this skyrocketing ability improvement could continue, and if this ability enhancement technique could apply to other Pokémon, it would undoubtedly be a huge boon for his team.
So, Li Wei held nothing back and reported in detail the training plan he formulated for Magikarp during this time and what Magikarp had done these days to Doctor Liu.
“I get it!”
Right after Li Wei finished, Doctor Liu’s eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped the table hard and said to Li Wei.
“The things you did these two weeks are basically the same. Apart from the change in training volume, there’s only one thing different!”
“What??”
Seeing Doctor Liu suddenly look ecstatic, Li Wei couldn’t help but grow curious too.
py one book:
《Ordinary Pokémon Breeder》
Transmigrating to a world full of Pokémon, Li Yi felt a bit of a headache.
Opening a pet shop in his previous life, running a Pokémon breeding house this life?
Staying in the shop raising Pokémon every day, Li Yi inwardly refused. After all, compared to breeding and nurturing, like Zhige exploring bravely to become a Trainer is what a real man should do.
Then
“Panda babies, come over for milk”
“Jigglypuff, put down the microphone!”
“Hey hey hey, Salty Fish No. 23, don’t get too excited, wait two more minutes for me, impatience spoils big plans”
Roar~~~
Watching the carefully bred little salty fish evolve into a shiny golden giant Gyarados, Li Yi although had a headache that the shop needed renovation again, still felt some sense of achievement deep down.
How about breeding a divine beast someday?
