Halfway there, Logan defeated another Beedrill.
Luckily, it had not learned Poison-type moves; otherwise, it would have been a tough battle.
Besides, he only had one final Poké Ball left.
“Ding!” [Hawlucha has risen 1 level.] [Current Level: Level 8] [Move unlocked: Wing Attack.] [Combat Power increased by +50 points.] Logan put Sandshrew on the forum.
“Low-quality Sandshrew, Level 8.
Whoever wants it, come quickly.
Highest bidder takes it.” “Post owner, are you an idiot?
A Level 8 Sandshrew can be trained perfectly well.
At least it’s stronger than a starter Caterpie and saves a lot of effort.” “The idiot is you, upstairs.
What does anyone care what the post owner wants to do!
I offer 4k!” “How stingy, upstairs!
That’s still not up to market price.
I offer 5k!” “Is Sandshrew in such high demand?” …
In the end, that Sandshrew sold for 6k.
The VR wristband was bound to the person, including their identity card and bank card, so all kinds of transactions were very convenient.
Thus, Logan received 6,000 Pokédollars.
But those 6,000 Pokédollars were quickly invested back into the game, buying several Poké Balls and basic Potions.
Capturing Growlithe was no small matter.
He had to have enough Poké Balls in reserve.
“Logan, that Beedrill you just captured, can you trade it to me?” Jason suddenly said.
“I can.
What price are you offering?” Logan said.
Jason thought Logan would refuse him, but he did not expect him to agree so directly.
“Twenty thousand?
That’s the market price.
Anyway, originally it was for one of my lackeys to use,” Jason said.
“I can tell you with certainty that the current market price is underestimating Beedrill too much.
In my opinion, a Beedrill shouldn’t go below thirty thousand.
An intermediate-quality one should be worth sixty thousand,” Logan said firmly.
“Deal!” Jason was very direct.
“I’ll buy all the ones you have!” To Jason, thirty thousand Pokédollars really was not a big deal.
Being able to obtain a low-quality Beedrill would not only strengthen his lackeys, but also give him prestige in his circle.
“No hurry.
We’ll make the transaction later,” Logan said indifferently, while continuing to drive forward.
But in secret, he bought basic Potions from the game shop and gave them to the Beedrill.
As for the Sandshrew he had sold, it had low special defense, little HP, low speed, and almost no moves.
It was the type of Pokémon that would fall from a single attack.
Very soon, both of them arrived at Growlithe’s nest.
“Woof, woof, woof!” A series of barks was heard, but they were not from Growlithe, but from real shepherd dogs.
Evidently, that place was the ranch’s kennel.
“So virtual and reality are indeed reflected in each other, or perhaps they form a single thing,” Logan reflected silently.
“It’s something similar to two sides of the same world, and the game wristband works as a kind of vision lens.” “There aren’t many Growlithe.
They live inside the kennel.
I already had the workers tie up the dogs,” Jason said.
“Good.” Logan nodded and entered with Hawlucha.
After continuously taking basic Potions, Hawlucha’s HP had already recovered almost completely.
“Then, which Growlithe was the one that defeated you in a single blow?” Logan asked.
Jason might not have been clear about it, but Logan was.
A Growlithe that could reach Level 16 in the early stages probably did not have poor quality.
“I don’t know,” Jason said.
“I advise you not to go in.
Once inside, you’ll be considered an enemy invading their territory.
Dozens of Growlithe will throw themselves at you, and after a rain of attacks, that will be even more terrifying than the Beedrill.” “Then how did you capture yours?” “I threw a stone at a Growlithe.
Then it came out, and naturally it was separated from the group.” Jason laughed and stroked his Growlithe’s head.
Logan frowned slightly.
It seemed only that stupid method remained.
Of course, in the end, everything depended on strength.
If one had enough strength, one could go directly inside and choose the most powerful one.
“Haawlluucchh!” Feeling Logan’s concern, Hawlucha cried out, spread its wings, and rushed directly into the kennel.
“Hawlucha!” “Haawlluucchh!” Logan had barely tried to give an order, but Hawlucha had already returned.
And from inside the kennel, a Growlithe that looked very energetic also came out.
[Growlithe: Level 16] “A Level 16 Growlithe!” Logan exclaimed.
Growlithe’s base stats were 350.
If it also had high quality, its Combat Power would reach 560.
Hawlucha, on the other hand, had 400.
This would most likely be a tough battle.
Of course, if Growlithe had intermediate quality, Hawlucha, under Logan’s orders, could surely maintain a balanced situation.
But if Growlithe had high quality, the side that would be suppressed could only be Logan’s.
Even so, Logan also had advantages.
Although Level 16 Growlithe had quite a few moves, the only ones it could use were Bite, Ember, and Leer.
Other support moves, such as Helping Hand, even if it used them, would have no effect.
As for the powerful Level 17 move Flame Wheel, sorry, but being only one level away could be the difference between heaven and earth.
“Hawlucha, use Hone Claws!” After using Hone Claws, Hawlucha’s attack and accuracy increased.
Growlithe, affected by the unpleasant feeling of the Dark-type move, showed a serious gaze.
At that moment, Logan unexpectedly felt that Growlithe was like a territory boss, with invincible strength.
That Growlithe definitely was not simple!
Growlithe used Leer, reducing Hawlucha’s defense.
At the start, both sides chose enhancement and weakening tactics.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha’s gaze also became serious, full of fighting spirit.
Growlithe was the strongest opponent Hawlucha had encountered so far.
Jason took two steps back with an envious expression.
From his point of view, this Level 16 Growlithe was much stronger than his own.
At the very least, it had to be high quality, and there was even a small possibility that it was a Supreme-quality Pokémon.
“Hawlucha, fly and use Tackle!” Growlithe opened its mouth.
A small but powerful flame condensed like a spear of fire and shot out.
“Hawlucha, dodge it!
Keep using Tackle and then Karate Chop!” A combination of Tackle and Karate Chop!
That combo left Growlithe stunned.
But Growlithe also did not want to fall behind, and at close range, it launched Ember against Hawlucha.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha panted heavily.
In front of Growlithe, Hawlucha looked very strained.
After all, the level suppression was too strong.
“Hawlucha, display your speed!
Keep accelerating nonstop!” Logan also felt that the situation was complicated.
This Growlithe’s intelligence was not low, so defeating it would truly be difficult.
After the previous test, Logan had already detected that this Growlithe was undoubtedly a valuable high-quality Growlithe, a rare and precious Pokémon that could sell for nearly a million.
Otherwise, Hawlucha would not have received so much damage.
It could be said that if Hawlucha received one more attack from Ember, it would fall defeated.
Logan had to make Hawlucha cause as much damage as possible!
“Haawlluucchh!” Growlithe used Ember again, but Hawlucha, which was flying in circles at low altitude, easily dodged it.
At the same time, its speed became faster and faster.
“Hawlucha, get close and use Wing Attack!” Logan said when he saw the right moment.
“Haawlluucchh!” This new move filled Hawlucha with confidence.
Its wings emitted a white light and slashed across Growlithe’s body.
Bang!
Growlithe was left staggering.
“Hawlucha, use Wing Attack once more!” Logan shouted.
Growlithe had just stabilized itself when Hawlucha sent it flying again.
But this time, it also did not show weakness, and with Ember, it burned Hawlucha until it lost the ability to fight.
Logan picked up Hawlucha, who had fallen to the ground, and said, “Hawlucha, you did very well.” “Is that how everything ends?” Jason could not believe it.
Such an anticlimactic ending was not Logan’s style.
But all of that was within Logan’s predictions.
From the moment he knew that Growlithe was a high-quality Pokémon, Logan was clear that Hawlucha was no match for it.
The difference in Combat Power and level was very difficult to overcome.
But Hawlucha had also demonstrated its value, exhausting two fifths of Growlithe’s HP.
That Hawlucha had lost did not mean Logan had given up.
Under Jason’s expectant gaze, Logan took out another Poké Ball.
“Come out, Beedrill!” (End of Chapter) PKGO-En
