“If you don’t seek death, you won’t die,” Logan thought to himself.
There was still a faint stinging sensation on his back.
Virtual Pokémon could not kill people.
But the sensation of pain lasted quite a while.
As the saying went, Beedrill had a quadruple advantage against trainers; the attack was super effective.
That was all there was to it.
“Ding!” [Hawlucha has risen 1 level.] [Current Level: Level 6.] [Combat Power increased by +50 points.] Hearing that voice, Logan suddenly felt that even being stung by Beedrill had been worth it.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha was panting heavily, as if it were extremely exhausted.
Its body was also covered in wounds, and it had lost the ability to fight.
“Hawlucha, come back first.” Logan recalled Hawlucha into its Poké Ball and ran toward the city center.
Halfway there, he even took a taxi.
His time was very tight.
In the early stages, he could not waste even a single second.
Very soon, Logan arrived at the Pokémon Center in the city center.
That building, constructed through joint investment from several countries, was extremely beautiful and had the characteristic air of the Pokémon League.
Logan pushed his way through the crowd and entered.
“Nurse Joy, please help me heal Hawlucha!” “Of course.
Please wait three minutes.” The real-life version of Nurse Joy was even more beautiful and gave off a gentle feeling.
Even Logan felt purified for an instant.
“Nurse Joy, don’t you get tired of staying here all day helping trainers heal their Pokémon?” Logan did not dare treat Nurse Joy as an ordinary NPC at all, so he used that moment to try to improve his relationship with her.
“No.
As long as we can help everyone, that is the happiness of my Joy family.” At the side, Chansey also nodded.
Logan, however, was somewhat interested in Chansey.
Its evolved form, Blissey, had no less than 540 points in base stats, distributed extremely unevenly into HP and special defense.
It could be said to be a top-tier defensive and healing wall, with enormous utility for a team.
But if it truly wanted to display combat power, it would still have to depend on TMs.
If Logan had a Chansey, or even a Blissey, Hawlucha could be healed directly in the outskirts, and there would be no need to go back and forth to the city.
“All done.
Your Hawlucha has already been healed.
Next,” Nurse Joy said with a professional smile.
Faced with that professional response, Logan silently expressed that raising affinity was not so easy.
“Alright, thank you, Nurse Joy.” Suddenly, an anxious voice was heard.
“Nurse Joy, please heal my Heracross and Growlithe!” “This is already the second time you’ve come today.” Hearing that voice, Logan knew it was Jason.
He said nothing and calmly walked out.
Very soon, Jason also came out.
“Are your Pokémon alright?” Logan asked.
“They’re fine,” Jason said.
“Were your Pokémon injured too?” “I was chased by a swarm of Beedrill.
What about you?” “You can already handle Beedrill?
Those are at least Level 10,” Jason said with admiration.
“I was chased by a Growlithe on my family’s ranch.
Damn it, I feel like that Growlithe was created using the one I raise as a model.
Its level is very high, at least Level 15.
In the early stages, it’s simply impossible to deal with.
Even though my Heracross is already Level 5, it defeated it immediately.” “Rich second-generation kids even have ranches.
That’s basically directly reserving a secret area for leveling up.
And with rare Pokémon like Growlithe on top of that.
People like you should be burned,” Logan said indifferently.
Thinking about how his first training session had been against a Kakuna that ended up evolving into Beedrill and almost launched a counterattack that would have wiped out his whole team, and then comparing it to Jason, Logan immediately gritted his teeth.
“And is that my fault?” Jason said.
“Relax, I won’t keep it all to myself.
Anyway, I can’t make full use of such a large training area alone.
I can just invite you over to my house.” “Good.” “Then let’s go now.” Jason called Logan to get on his Harley motorcycle.
Jason liked racing, but not sports cars; he liked motorcycles, which were more dangerous.
There was nothing to criticize about his driving skill.
After seeing Heracross’s advantage in the early stages, Jason immediately felt grateful to Logan.
If Logan had wanted to sell that information, there would have been plenty of players willing to buy it.
But he had given it to him for free, which proved how deep their friendship was.
Very soon, they arrived at the Brooks family’s ranch.
The villa in the center of the ranch was especially eye-catching.
Noticing Logan’s gaze, Jason smiled with some embarrassment and said, “Relax, you can have something like this too if you keep playing this game.” “Yeah.” Logan nodded, observed the farm, and said, “I don’t see Growlithe or Arcanine.” “Arcanine is Growlithe’s evolution?
Growlithe are very scarce.
There are only a few dozen of them, more or less like the shepherd dogs on the ranch.
Besides Growlithe, there are also Miltank and Tauros here.” “No Mareep?” Logan interrupted.
“Tauros isn’t something players at this stage can face.
There are very few low-level Tauros…
What the hell is Mareep?” “Forget it if you don’t know it.
Its final evolution is Ampharos, an Electric type, a little stronger than Heracross.
If you run into one, remember to tell me.” Logan shook his head.
He did not have much interest in Tauros or Miltank.
On the other hand, Arcanine, Growlithe’s evolution, with its 555 points in base stats, was extremely powerful.
“You really know a lot of things.” Jason became even more certain of his idea of keeping Logan by his side.
“Do you want to have a duel with me?
A full battle.
Don’t tell me you only have one Pokémon.” “What benefit is there for me?” Logan asked with a calm expression, not caring much about the form of the duel, even though Jason had one more Growlithe than him.
“A Growlithe.” “Even if you don’t give it to me, I’ll capture it anyway.” “Fine, shameless bastard.
What do you think of the Harley outside?” “It’s second-hand.
I don’t want it.” “Don’t go too far.
Fine, I’ll give you a new one.
If you lose, you’ll team up with me.
What do you think?” “Too little.” Logan was already about to laugh inwardly, but on the surface, he still showed an indifferent expression.
“You should know that a broken motorcycle can’t tie me down.” “You shameless bastard!” Jason was furious.
“Fine.
With the portion of knowledge you’ve already shown, a Harley, even if it’s quite valuable, can’t keep you.
Let’s do this: earlier, one of my lackeys ran into a Heracross, but was defeated instantly.
I suppose its aptitude shouldn’t be low.
If you win, I’ll tell you the location.” “And the Harley too.” The instant Logan smiled, Jason already knew he had fallen into Logan’s trap, but even so, he stood firm.
He firmly believed that Logan’s value was a hundred times greater than that of a Heracross.
“Deal.” “Come out, Growlithe!” Logan’s calmness made Jason very uncomfortable.
He decided that he would crush him in actual combat so that he would obediently become support for his family.
He was also confident that he had that strength.
Come on, if he could not crush Logan despite having an exclusive leveling area, where would Jason’s face be?
[Growlithe: Level 3] “Come out, Hawlucha.” Logan, with a confident smile, threw the Poké Ball.
The trap had already been dug, Jason had already jumped into it, so why keep maintaining that indifference?
“Haawlluucchh!” [Hawlucha: Level 6] Seeing that level, Jason’s expression immediately changed.
“I didn’t expect your Hawlucha to already be Level 6, even one level above my Heracross!” “Hawlucha, let’s end this quickly.
Use Karate Chop!” “Growlithe, dodge and use Roar.” Hawlucha rushed forward, and Karate Chop fell directly toward Growlithe’s head.
Growlithe wanted to dodge, but its speed could not keep up at all.
It could only take the blow head-on, although it managed to avoid being hit in a vital point.
Even so, it was left on the verge of losing the ability to fight.
“Grrroar!” Growlithe roared loudly.
“Hawlucha, use Tackle!” After Roar is used, it forces the opponent to switch Pokémon.
Against wild Pokémon, it can even force the battle to end.
But unfortunately, Logan only had one Pokémon capable of fighting.
Of course, he also had 3 Beedrill, but the Beedrill had no HP and could not come out to fight.
Only Jason and Growlithe were left staring at each other with wide eyes, completely confused.
Why had Roar not worked?
Jason’s goal was very simple: force the powerful Hawlucha to retreat and make a weaker Pokémon come out.
But unfortunately, Hawlucha did not even move!
Bang!
Growlithe was struck directly by Hawlucha until it fell unconscious, and Jason recalled it.
“Heracross, you’re next!” (End of Chapter) PKGO-En
