[Heracross: Level 5] Level 5 was not low, and it was only one level below Hawlucha.
This made Logan sigh.
Having an exclusive leveling area was cheating.
Both were Pokémon with 500 points in base stats, but Logan was full of confidence.
Hawlucha was Level 6 and, besides, during the battle against Growlithe, it had not lost any HP.
With a level advantage and a type advantage, the result seemed decided.
Jason also began to get nervous.
“Logan, don’t get arrogant.
Heracross has 7 moves right from the start.” “I know.
But Hawlucha doesn’t have few moves either,” Logan said.
Seeing Logan’s indifferent face, Jason felt even more uncomfortable.
“Heracross, use Night Slash!” Heracross’s calm gaze instantly filled with fighting spirit, and it charged forward.
Night Slash had no less than 70 power, something Hawlucha currently could not match.
Combined with Heracross’s 125 points of base attack, it was extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, this move was Dark type.
Dark-type moves had a fairly poor effect against Hawlucha, which was Fighting + Flying type.
Besides, would Logan let Heracross land the hit?
In fact, even the right to attack first had been given by Logan to Jason!
“Hawlucha, dodge it and use Karate Chop from the left side.
Aim for a vital point,” Logan said calmly.
Bang!
Hawlucha easily dodged Heracross’s attack, and Karate Chop, wrapped in white light, struck Heracross in the abdomen.
Critical hit, it’s super effective!
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha did not stay there.
After landing the blow, it immediately retreated.
With Heracross’s speed, it simply could not catch up to it.
“Heracross, use Bullet Seed!” “Hawlucha, fly to dodge it!” Hawlucha spread its wings and rose into the air.
The dense barrage of seeds from Bullet Seed did not manage to hit it even once!
“Hawlucha, come down and use Karate Chop!” “Heracross, wait for the precise moment and use Horn Attack!” Logan frowned.
Horn Attack had no less than 70 power.
It was a Normal-type move, so all of its power would apply directly to Hawlucha.
That was not good at all.
“Hawlucha, after using Karate Chop, use Detect immediately!” Logan’s gaze focused.
He did not know whether Hawlucha could execute that kind of combination.
After all, no matter how high Hawlucha’s talent was, it was only Level 6.
Bang!
Bang!
Karate Chop landed, but Horn Attack also landed!
Hawlucha did not meet Logan’s expectations.
It was struck by Horn Attack and left staggering.
But Heracross was even worse off, breathing with difficulty and on the verge of collapse.
“So it doesn’t work, huh?
That was too forced,” Logan thought.
“Hawlucha, give it the final Tackle!” “Heracross, use Endure!” Endure could leave at least 1 HP when the user received a fatal attack.
Jason had already bet everything on a single card.
After resisting Tackle, Heracross only had its final point of HP left.
“Heracross, use Horn Attack!” “Hawlucha, use Karate Chop!” Victory or defeat would once again be decided in a single move!
Both Logan and Jason opened their eyes wide.
For Jason, losing only meant a motorcycle and a Heracross whose location he already possessed, even if he still did not know whether he could capture it.
But for Logan, if Hawlucha fell, he would not only lose all the benefits, but he would also have to become Jason’s subordinate.
That was not what he wanted.
Bang!
Both collided with each other.
Karate Chop and Horn Attack struck at the same time, raising a cloud of dust.
A breeze blew.
On the field, the only one still standing was Hawlucha.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha’s knees bent, and it nearly knelt down, but even so, it forced itself to endure and showed Logan a proud expression.
“Ding!” [Hawlucha has risen 1 level.] [Current Level: Level 7] [Combat Power increased by +50 points.] Logan let out a sigh of relief.
He had almost failed while trying to show off.
Luckily, everything ended without danger.
“Hawlucha, you did very well.” “Heracross, come back.” Both sides recalled their Pokémon.
Logan smiled at Jason and said, “Don’t go forgetting the benefits you owe me.” “Yeah, yeah.
Wasn’t it just winning one battle?” Logan said nothing.
The reason it had been so difficult was because he was facing a Heracross with more moves, and Hawlucha could not fully display its speed advantage.
At the same time, Hawlucha still had not reached Level 8 and had not learned Wing Attack, a Flying-type move, so its attribute advantage was not that great.
But in the end, he won with his own strength, didn’t he?
After that, Logan went with Jason to look at the motorcycle for a brief while.
The bike was fairly normal, without strange shapes.
But without a doubt, it was stylish.
Jason also informed Logan of Heracross’s location and promised not to interfere.
“Thanks.
Heracross was actually also one of my planned Pokémon choices,” Logan said.
“No need.
Whoever makes a bet must accept defeat,” Jason said.
“But I didn’t expect your Hawlucha to be so strong.” “You too.
To combine so many moves so well, you must have put in quite a bit of effort.” Victory or defeat between trainers did not need too many words.
The two quickly returned to the main topic.
“Alright, then tell me, where is Growlithe’s habitat?” Logan asked seriously.
A high-level Growlithe with good aptitude was worth dozens of times more than a Harley.
Logan was not going to lose a watermelon just to pick up sesame seeds.
“You’re going to challenge that guy?
That Growlithe is too strong, at least Level 15,” Jason said, surprised.
“If we fight along the way, the level will rise,” Logan said without caring much.
Hawlucha was currently already Level 7.
When it reached Level 8 and learned Wing Attack, it would undergo a transformation.
Besides, Logan also felt that his command ability was still imperfect and needed more battles to make up for it.
“Alright.” The two mounted their motorcycles and headed toward the destination.
Considering that it was Logan’s first time driving, the speed was not fast.
On the rear seat of Logan’s motorcycle, Hawlucha stood upright like a sports champion, full of spirit.
Mainly because it had taken a basic Potion, and its HP was gradually recovering.
“There’s a Sandshrew over there.” Logan suddenly stopped the motorcycle and sent out Hawlucha.
[Sandshrew: Level 8] Sandshrew and Hawlucha did not have a type-advantage relationship, but Sandshrew was the initial form of Sandslash, so its basic combat power was not high.
Logan had full confidence in winning.
“Hawlucha, use Hone Claws.” Logan discovered that the Dark-type move Hone Claws, besides increasing attack and accuracy, could also attract the hatred of wild Pokémon.
For that reason, when encountering wild Pokémon, he normally used Hone Claws first.
After all, wild Pokémon could also flee.
Upon feeling that unpleasant aura, Sandshrew’s claws immediately became sharp, and it charged at Hawlucha.
The level advantage was the source of Sandshrew’s confidence.
“Hawlucha, use Karate Chop!” Karate Chop and Scratch collided, but Sandshrew was clearly at a disadvantage.
At the same level, Hawlucha practically crushed Pokémon that had not yet reached their final evolution.
Bang!
“Hawlucha, now use Tackle!” After the half-failed battle against Heracross, Logan began training Hawlucha’s ability to chain moves together.
Bang!
Sandshrew failed to react in time and took the impact head-on.
But it also did not show weakness.
It scooped up dirt from the ground with one claw and threw a handful of sand at Hawlucha, reducing its accuracy.
Logan did not care at all.
At most, that canceled out part of Hone Claws’s effect.
“Hawlucha, give it the final Karate Chop!” After receiving a fairly powerful Karate Chop, Sandshrew lost the ability to fight and was captured with a Poké Ball.
With this, Logan only had 2 empty Poké Balls left.
He had Hawlucha, 3 Beedrill, and one Sandshrew.
Sandshrew could evolve into Sandslash, so it could barely be considered suitable for training.
But unfortunately, this Sandshrew’s aptitude was mediocre, barely low quality.
Low-quality aptitude was the most common.
Intermediate quality was one in a hundred, high quality was one in ten thousand, and Supreme quality was even one in a million.
Logan thought that if the base stats exceeded 500, even one of intermediate quality could be trained.
“Congratulations on capturing Sandshrew.
This type of Pokémon, even if it’s low quality, is already selling on the forum for 5,000 Pokédollars,” Jason said.
Logan secretly sighed.
In profit alone, that was already 4,500 Pokédollars.
This was practically robbing money!
Although there were not too many rich people in Daleron, there were not few either.
When this unprecedented game launched, all of them appeared, driving economic development and monopolizing the entry and exit of high-level Pokémon.
Pokémon GO truly had unlimited commercial opportunities.
And that was only Sandshrew.
As for Beedrill, it cost at least over ten thousand, and even then, there was a price but no market!
And that intermediate-quality Beedrill, without fifty thousand, don’t even dream of getting it.
