All of Logan’s Beedrill had been cleanly defeated in one-on-one battles, so their affinity level had no problem, and they could be commanded.
Growlithe looked at Logan with disdain.
Could he not beat it one-on-one, so now he was using turn-based battles?
“Beedrill, use Focus Energy!” But Growlithe charged directly forward and used Ember.
At that moment, Beedrill had already finished concentrating its energy.
However, even so, it was still struck head-on by Growlithe’s Ember.
Double type advantage.
It’s super effective!
Beedrill was already staggering.
Logan only hoped that Beedrill could land at least one critical hit.
“Beedrill, use Fury Attack!” Bang, bang, bang…!
It attacked three times in a row, but on the third hit, Beedrill was already knocked down by Growlithe’s Ember.
“Beedrill, come back.” Logan sighed.
This Growlithe was truly too strong.
Jason, seeing this scene, felt as if his whole body hurt.
“That was my Beedrill!” But Logan was too lazy to pay attention to him and threw out another Beedrill.
This Beedrill also failed to contribute much; it barely used Fury Attack once before being defeated by Growlithe, who was already prepared.
The third low-quality Beedrill was the same, easily defeated.
By that point, after being worn down by the succession of battles, Growlithe only had one quarter of its HP left.
Logan frowned slightly.
“Beedrill, I choose you!” Logan sent out the final Beedrill, the intermediate-quality one.
[Beedrill: Level 10] This was the first Pokémon Logan had defeated.
He had seen it evolve from Kakuna into Beedrill with his own eyes.
Although it had a certain advantage against Hawlucha, it had no moves that could take advantage of that, and in the end, it was defeated with difficulty.
This Beedrill, which was not worth training, had become the key to whether he could capture the high-quality Growlithe!
“Facing a high-quality Growlithe of no less than Level 16, this Level 10 Beedrill is only intermediate quality.
In speed, attack, defense, and all other attributes, it is at a disadvantage.
Besides, it is weak to Fire type, and its only offensive move is Fury Attack.
Its only advantage is that Beedrill has full HP, while Growlithe only has one quarter left.
But even so, the difference with Beedrill is not large.” Logan reflected for a moment, but even so, he gave Beedrill an order.
“Beedrill, charge at it.” Beedrill was a little confused.
Logan had not said the name of any move, so should it only charge?
After hesitating, Beedrill still rushed forward without looking back.
Growlithe also spat out Ember.
Ember was not an especially powerful move, but combined with a high level and great mastery, Growlithe’s Ember could have half the power of Flamethrower.
Beedrill would not be able to endure too many of them.
“Dodge!” Logan ordered.
“Get close and use Fury Attack!” Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
This time, Logan was very lucky.
Beedrill directly attacked 5 times, making Fury Attack reach its maximum power of 75, almost double that of Ember!
Half of Growlithe’s remaining HP disappeared instantly!
“Beedrill, retreat!
Don’t let Growlithe attack you!” At this point, Logan could only choose a dirty tactic, trying to let Beedrill launch a few more attacks.
Growlithe’s Ember missed again, and it could not help being consumed by anger.
“Pressure it and keep using Fury Attack!” Logan waved his hand and gave the order.
After one round of attacks, Growlithe only had a sliver of HP left.
It even struggled to remain standing.
But the fury in its eyes did not decrease in the slightest.
“Dodge!” “Use Fury Attack!” It was still the same tactic, but when executed by an intermediate-quality Beedrill, both its reaction ability and battle awareness far surpassed those of the previous low-quality Beedrill.
That gave Logan the feeling of being able to fully display his skills.
Before, it had been too frustrating to be bullied.
Logan threw a Poké Ball and captured the Growlithe that had lost the ability to fight.
Then he checked its data.
Pokémon: Growlithe Level: 16 Type: Fire Ability: Flash Fire Held Item: None Moves: Bite, Roar, Ember, Leer, Odor Sleuth, Helping Hand Quality: High Attack: Yellow Defense: Dark Orange Speed: Light Yellow Base Combat Power: 560 Without a doubt, Logan was very satisfied with those data.
When Growlithe evolved into Arcanine, its aptitude would not be inferior to Hawlucha’s, but even superior.
And now, together with its Level 16, it could simply crush Hawlucha.
“You captured Growlithe?” Jason said, surprised.
“Do you want to have another battle?” Logan said with a smile.
“On the official field of the Pokémon Center.” Hearing the first sentence, Jason still wanted to take advantage of Logan’s weakened state and accept.
But when he heard the second, he choked instantly.
He only had two Pokémon, and even together, they could not defeat a Growlithe in full condition.
That was a Level 16 Pokémon, an existence that among initial players could practically walk sideways!
“Who are you trying to fool?” Jason rolled his eyes.
“Fighting you would just be asking for a beating.” Logan took out 4 Poké Balls and said, “These are the Beedrill you wanted.
Three low-quality and one intermediate-quality.
In total, that’s 150,000 Pokédollars.” “Beedrill…
and four of them at that.” Jason’s face showed bitterness, and immediately afterward, he began cursing.
“Damn you, you’re scamming me!
It’s already bad enough that you’re selling them expensively, but on top of that, you’re handing them over after they’ve lost the ability to fight!” “Then, are you buying them or not?” Logan said calmly.
“I’m buying them!” Jason gritted his teeth.
Logan had him completely trapped.
After completing the transaction, Logan looked at the 150,000 in his account and felt infinite expectation for the future.
One had to know that this was only the first day of Pokémon GO’s launch.
With time, it was impossible to imagine how far he could go.
The two went together to the Pokémon Center.
Both of their Pokémon needed to recover.
“Nurse Joy, I’ll leave them to you.” The two handed the Poké Balls to Nurse Joy and then sat down to the side.
The Poké Balls quickly returned to their hands.
Jason called several of his lackeys, handed them the Poké Balls, and sent them away.
As for the intermediate-quality Beedrill, he declared that he would train it himself.
Back in the outskirts, Jason said, “Can you take out your Growlithe so I can see it?” Jason was extremely curious about Logan’s Growlithe.
His own Growlithe was only intermediate quality, Level 3, and could not play any role in combat.
But Logan’s Growlithe was different.
Logan had almost suffered a total defeat facing it.
“Fine.” Logan nodded.
“Come out, Growlithe.” Logan took two steps back, and the place where Growlithe appeared was, surprisingly, beside Jason.
Growlithe, who was still furious, had barely seen Jason when it launched Ember at him.
It remembered that this person was together with that despicable and shameless guy who had used turn-based battles and even hid!
Thinking of that guy, Growlithe became even more furious.
This was completely different from what Hawlucha had told it!
That had not been a fair battle at all!
If it had known it would be like this, how would it have come out of the kennel?
Fuuuh!
“It burns, it burns so much!
How dare you spit fire at me!” Pokémon moves had no lethal power against humans, but they retained the sensation of pain.
After being burned by the fire, Jason also became furious and sent out Heracross.
“Herracross!” A flash of fear appeared in Heracross’s calm eyes.
Growlithe, being Fire type, had a double advantage against it.
“Growlithe, use Roar.” The current Growlithe was not a Pokémon Logan could command, but Logan calculated that Growlithe was furious and would not carefully distinguish the situation.
Besides, Growlithe was man’s best friend and would not stay angry for long.
“Grrroar!” Growlithe let out a loud roar.
Under the effect of Roar, Heracross turned into a ray of light and returned to its Poké Ball.
This meant that Trainer Jason had to switch Pokémon.
“Logan, what the hell are you doing!” “If you want to lay a hand on my Pokémon, you first have to ask for my permission,” Logan said with an innocent expression.
