In the forest of West Mountain.
A virtual tree was violently cut down by a Hawlucha’s Wing Attack and fell to the ground.
And that Hawlucha, as if it had seen a fierce beast or a flood, quickly flew into the sky.
The sound of the tree falling was barely fragmented.
Afterward, threads of white light began to seep through the leaves.
Booom, boom, boom!
A huge rumble spread for a long time, making people unable to help wondering which unlucky bastard had gone to provoke that group of Pineco who did not fear death again.
From the players’ point of view, Pineco not only had high levels, but even forming a team, they were difficult to provoke at this stage.
Besides, their suicidal way of self-destructing made people not even have the strength to face them.
Judging by the sound, did it seem like someone had provoked an entire group of Pineco?
What admirable courage!
What the players did not know was that an elegant-looking young man approached the fallen virtual tree and, as if he were harvesting, began putting those Pineco into Poké Balls.
The Pineco in critical condition had almost no resistance.
“13 Pineco.
Added to the previous 12, that’s a total of 25, all stored in the backpack.
Good luck.
Among these 25 Pineco, unexpectedly, there are 2 intermediate-quality Pokémon, one in a hundred,” Logan reflected while, guided by Hawlucha, he approached another Pineco gathering point.
In Logan’s eyes, Pineco were simply the first choice for farming experience!
“Ding!” [Hawlucha has risen 2 consecutive levels.] [Current Level: Level 14] [Combat Power increased by +100 points.] Logan kept the two intermediate-quality Pineco with him and put the other 23 low-quality Pineco up for auction on the forum.
Basically, they would go to the highest bidder.
On average, each low-quality Pineco sold for the high price of 40,000 Pokédollars.
“Just with these low-quality Pineco, I’ve brought in 920,000 Pokédollars, almost a million.
I didn’t expect becoming a millionaire to be so easy…” Logan thought with complicated feelings.
“The opportunities in Pokémon Go are truly too many.” The Pineco themselves were not too valuable, but in the early stages, almost no one sold Pokémon of such a high level.
Generally, those who could capture high-level Pokémon were teams, professional players, or rich second-generation kids.
They would not casually sell them, but would wait until they no longer needed them, then give them to their subordinates, and only in the end put them on the forum.
Ultimately, those who traded Pokémon on the forum were solo players.
Those who bought Pokémon were expert players, rich second-generation players, and similar people.
Among those solo players, Logan could be considered one of the best.
After several transactions, he also began to become famous on the forum.
There were still many players hoping to obtain Pineco, waiting for Logan to sell them again.
“The price of Pineco is still rising.
After all, for early-stage players, Pineco is practically a trump card.
If someone dares to face it, all they have to do is send out Pineco and use Self-Destruct.
Even the current expert players would have to kneel,” Logan reflected.
“As for the intermediate-quality Pineco in my hands, they are even more lethal weapons.” Thinking of this, Logan felt even more confident.
“Haawlluucchh!” “Did you find Pineco?” Logan asked.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha shook its head, spread its wings, and flew into the distance.
Logan also quickly followed it.
Finally, Hawlucha stopped and landed on a large tree.
Logan, for his part, heard some voices.
“Beedrill, use Fury Attack!” “Butterfree, use Confusion!” “Rattata, use Quick Attack!” “Charmander, use Ember!” At first, those common fast-growth Pokémon like Beedrill and Butterfree did not matter to Logan.
But the Charmander at the end left him completely surprised.
In Pokémon Go, Charmander, one of the classic starters, was not a starter Pokémon that novice trainers could choose.
Because its final evolution, Charizard, had no less than 534 points in base stats!
Besides, Charmander was extremely rare and normally lived in active volcanoes and rugged mountains.
And those environments were precisely what Arcaia City lacked!
In the early stages, how could someone have a Charmander?
This time, even Logan felt very envious of the trainer who possessed Charmander.
Although he considered Growlithe not inferior, envy was still envy; he could not pretend otherwise.
Logan slowly approached, and his gaze focused.
Before his eyes, a Pokémon battle was unfolding, but it seemed especially unfair.
On one side were Charmander, Rattata, Beedrill, and Butterfree.
On the other side, surprisingly, there was a Heracross.
Four players were attacking a Heracross in a group!
[Heracross: Level 16] The Pokémon on the players’ side were basically around Level 10.
Even so, although they were surrounding Heracross, they were being suppressed by it.
Heracross, who was naturally gentle, could not help becoming enraged in the face of such a group attack.
It continuously used moves to face Charmander and Rattata, but it never managed to hit them.
Seeing this scene, Logan practically confirmed that this Heracross’s aptitude was very high.
Besides, it was almost certainly the Heracross Jason had told him about.
In other words, was someone now trying to snatch away his Pokémon, Logan’s Pokémon?
“Haawlluucchh!” Evidently, Hawlucha could not bear to watch it.
Battle spirit burned in its eyes.
Logan did not act rashly and stayed watching as the situation changed.
“Relax.
Heracross can do it,” Logan comforted it.
“Haawlluucchh!” As the battle intensified, Heracross managed to wear down the HP of the four enemy Pokémon by half.
Its eyes, which normally should have been calm, were full of fury.
Aerial Ace!
Although the four players had the numerical advantage, they were still using dirty tactics, which made Heracross feel extremely frustrated.
It directly used a move that always hits.
In an instant, with one slash, Butterfree fell.
Aerial Ace, being Flying type, was effective against Butterfree!
On the next move, Heracross once again used Aerial Ace and left Beedrill gravely injured.
Heracross’s 125 points of base attack were no joke!
Suddenly, only Rattata and Charmander were left on the field.
And the one in the best condition was Charmander.
Charmander only used Ember, but it kept Heracross completely controlled, making it very difficult for it to get close.
After that, Heracross no longer used Aerial Ace again.
Although it continued pressing forward, the situation was very difficult.
At that moment, Butterfree and Beedrill were recalled.
Logan could tell that those two were high-quality Pokémon.
It seemed they were those two players’ starter Pokémon.
The two players looked at each other and each sent out another Pokémon.
[Pidgey: Level 10] [Pidgey: Level 10] It was obvious that those four people had leveled up together, since their levels were very synchronized.
Pidgey, the common bird of the Kanto region.
Although in Pokémon Go there was no longer the concept of an “initial common bird,” this type of Flying Pokémon had a very obvious advantage against Heracross.
“Pidgey, use Gust!” the two said at the same time.
Immediately, a hurricane-like gust blew.
Heracross, which had already lost more than half of its HP, instantly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Heracross’s speed was restricted.
To one side, Rattata was also moving with Quick Attack to harass it, and it was also using Tail Whip to reduce its defense.
Added to Charmander’s heavy damage, the situation became less and less optimistic.
“Herracross!” Heracross became even more enraged, but its HP continued to be consumed without stopping.
It finally managed to knock down that Rattata, but that was only for another Pidgey to enter.
Although it was a low-quality Pidgey, its threat was no less than Rattata’s.
Three Pidgey and one Charmander attacking a Heracross in a group, and also switching Pokémon?
Pokémon Go did not have a strict boss division.
The true bosses were the pseudo-legendaries and even the legendary Pokémon.
Using methods like these against a single wild Pokémon was something Logan deeply despised.
Seeing that group attack, Logan also felt a stab of sadness.
But Logan knew that the enraged Heracross at that moment would not tolerate anyone intervening.
Endure!
It was not only Logan who was enduring; Heracross was too.
[Endure: after receiving a fatal attack, the user forcibly keeps 1 HP.
The more it is used, the lower the probability of success.] With the first use of Endure, Heracross withstood a wave of attacks.
But its HP hit rock bottom, leaving it with only 1 HP.
The second time, it still could only use Endure.
For Pokémon, being captured by a trainer was not something shameful.
On the contrary, they could become stronger because of it.
But Heracross definitely did not want to be captured by those people!
In a one-on-one duel between a Pokémon and a trainer, any tactic could be used.
But if several people attacked in a group, that was not something Pokémon could accept.
Simply put, a turn-based battle could be accepted, but a battle of numerical superiority could not.
Although saying “turn-based battle” was not entirely accurate either, because the origin of Pokémon battles was still the trainer.
The number of Pokémon was also part of a trainer’s strength.
“Haawlluucchh!” Hawlucha could no longer hold back and flew out directly.
“Sigh.” Logan sighed.
At that moment, that Pokémon with the appearance of a large rhinoceros beetle fell powerlessly to the ground, covered in wounds.
