Seeing this, Logan silently published a purchase post looking for high-quality or even Supreme-quality Magikarp.
The base price for a high-quality one was 100,000 Pokédollars, and for a Supreme-quality one, 1,000,000 Pokédollars.
The price could be negotiated.
A high-quality Magikarp was already worth sacrificing the team’s experience to carry it all the way to evolution.
And if he obtained a Supreme-quality Magikarp, Logan feared he would not be able to resist using the strength of his entire team to help it evolve.
Supreme-quality Pokémon, no matter the stage of the game, were absolutely rare and powerful.
Even more so if it was a strong Pokémon like Gyarados!
He continued looking downward, passing through many of the most popular posts.
Unfortunately, none of them were very useful to Logan.
Suddenly, Logan’s gaze focused.
“Surprisingly, a Level 20 Pokémon appears in the early stages.
All challengers were completely crushed!” “This post…” Logan murmured.
“I didn’t expect that in the early stages, there was already someone who had trained a Pokémon to Level 20.” The post recorded a certain rich and handsome young man from the capital.
It was said that he had gathered many forces in order to bring his Psyduck to Level 20.
After that, there were also many posts about Level 19 and Level 18 Pokémon.
Most of them belonged to professional players, rich second-generation kids, and the like, who could push the level of their Pokémon to that point.
Seeing this, Logan remained quite calm.
His Hawlucha was also Level 18.
Combined with its 500 points in base stats, its strength was in the first line.
Growlithe and Heracross were also important combat forces for Logan.
His overall power was much greater than that of those professional players who only trained one Pokémon.
Logan also found some posts about himself among the popular posts.
“A powerful advanced player appears in Arcaia City.
A Hawlucha challenges five and crushes them with intelligence!” “The creator of type immunity, professional player of Arcaia City.
He performs wonders with Hawlucha and teaches you how to behave in minutes!” “Recovering half its HP upon landing.
Divine move!” “The trainer of Hawlucha turns out to be the Pineco seller.
Did he reserve powerful Pineco for himself?” Logan smiled and skipped past those posts.
Each of those four posts had at least one hundred thousand replies.
Logan could be considered someone who had already started making a name for himself.
After thinking about it, Logan published another post to buy Feebas.
Feebas, like Magikarp, was a burden to the team and its combat power was practically zero.
But Feebas’s evolution, Milotic, was a powerful Pokémon that was not inferior to Gyarados.
Milotic was known as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world.
And what if someone who did not recognize its value sold him that ugly Feebas?
As long as it held a Prism Scale, when traded, it would become a powerful Milotic.
Just carrying it by his side would already be full of style!
After reading the featured and popular posts, Logan finally directed his gaze toward the official pinned post at the very top, which even shone with a special light.
“Pokémon Go will soon open the mission system, gym system, and tournament system!
Gym Leaders will be NPCs from the closed beta.
By challenging gyms and collecting eight badges, one will obtain the qualification to participate in the tournament of the same level.” Logan’s spirits rose.
“The local tournament and regional tournament will be held on nearby dates.
This will be the first dividing line between players: choosing to participate in the local tournament or the regional tournament.
If one chooses wrong, it is very possible to exhaust one’s current potential and never have the opportunity to rise again,” Logan reflected.
The fog dispersed.
He did not need to think about it at all.
Logan had no need to participate in the local tournament, which was aimed at ordinary players.
He only had to aim directly at the regional tournament.
The champion of the local tournament, at most, could choose a powerful high-quality Pokémon.
But the champion of the regional tournament would receive a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
The regional tournament would undoubtedly gather all the advanced players of a region!
That would bring immense benefits to the service industry, transportation, and other sectors.
It could be said that Pokémon Go was also an opportunity for the rise of the country.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha cried out.
Logan had already opened the door to his house and entered the empty home.
It was a house of more than one hundred square meters.
It was neither poor nor rich; it only lacked a little warmth.
Usually, Logan lived there alone.
Logan’s mother had formed a studio outside the home, although Logan never knew what kind of studio it was.
That his mother, Emily Collins, did not return at night was also something usual.
His father, for his part, was a small employee who often worked overtime, which gave Logan more freedom.
Overall, Logan’s family could be considered fairly harmonious.
Not long after graduating, he had “traveled” to a world like this, and starting to play Pokémon Go was also Logan’s opportunity.
“Come out, Growlithe, Heracross.” Logan sent out all the Pokémon he currently had.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha looked at Growlithe and Heracross, who had come out, and let out a cry.
“Grrroar!” “Herracross!” The three Pokémon looked at Logan with their large eyes at the same time, waiting for his next words.
“Becoming strong does not depend only on level.
You need to master your own moves,” Logan said calmly.
The three Pokémon looked at one another, not fully understanding, but feeling that it sounded impressive.
They listened silently.
“I need you to adapt as soon as possible to fast-paced battles.
For example, move combinations and move configurations.” “Hawlucha, you need to familiarize yourself with freely switching between Aerial Ace, Karate Chop, Wing Attack, and Detect.
The transition between moves must be fast!” Logan said.
“Haawlluucchh!” “Heracross, right now you are the one with the most moves, but the one I value most is Bullet Seed.
I need you to practice until every Bullet Seed can attack five times.
The same with Arm Thrust; ideally, every time, it should hit five times,” Logan said.
“You also cannot neglect the connection between moves.
Focus on practicing the combination of these seven moves: Arm Thrust, Bullet Seed, Horn Attack, Night Slash, Endure, Feint, and Aerial Ace.
Your task is the heaviest, but if you train it well, you will also be the one who obtains the greatest benefits.” “Herracross!” Battle spirit shone in Heracross’s calm eyes.
It remembered again that dark experience of being surrounded and almost captured.
That memory pushed it not to dare be careless.
“Growlithe, focus on training the connection between these four moves: Bite, Ember, Flame Wheel, and Roar.
I hope that after using any move, you can quickly use Roar,” Logan said.
“You also cannot neglect Ember.
You need to concentrate Ember as much as you can, compressing it into a larger and larger stream.
That will be very beneficial for improving your strength.” “Grrroar!” Seeing the three Pokémon nod as if they half understood, Logan felt very satisfied.
These three Pokémon were all extremely valuable high-quality Pokémon.
If he trained them well, they would be Logan’s capital for rising in the early stages.
“Then train here as much as you want.
I’ll sleep for a while.
You should also know when to stop.
If you get tired, enter your Poké Balls,” Logan said.
“Haawlluucchh!” “Herracross!” “Grrroar!” The three Pokémon nodded at the same time and separated to practice according to what Logan had said.
Their personalities were very good, the type that did not need Logan to worry.
As long as he assigned them a task, they would naturally execute it with great precision.
And since the Pokémon were in the “inner world,” they could not affect the buildings of the Earth in the “outer world.” Logan, for his part, fell into a deep sleep.
This was a virtual reality game.
Spending the whole night leveling up was torture for both the player and the Pokémon.
At midnight, Logan was suddenly awakened by Jason knocking on the door.
Jason, with dark circles under his eyes, dragged Logan, who was still half asleep, outside.
“Logan, stop sleeping.
My television, microwave, refrigerator, and lawn mower are all possessed by ghosts.
Maybe they’re rare Pokémon.
The only advanced player I know is you.” With the roar of the motorcycle, they left behind a trail of dust.
