Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 112: Weather Research Institute? Doubles Battle!
As Shirona was thinking, the image of the Lizard King when it evolved into Mega appeared in her mind again.

The scene at that time was so shocking that she could still clearly see the emerald green figure in her mind.

To be honest, when the Lizard King evolved, she felt an extremely familiar aura.

She often noticed this aura in dragon-type Pokémon... and after Lizardlord evolved, the intricate scales on its body and its slender tail...

In other words, after the Lizard King mega evolves, it will have additional dragon attributes?
This possibility... is indeed quite high. If this is true, then it doesn't seem to be a particularly good thing...

After all, as a defensive attribute, the dragon attribute can directly avoid the four more common basic attributes of water, fire, grass and electricity.

But you have to know that the grass attribute itself can resist grass, water and electric types. At most, it can help the Lizard King solve the pain point of fire.

But once it has the additional dragon attribute... the three attributes of dragon, ice and fairy will be added to the restrained side, which originally did not threaten the grass attribute. Even the ice attribute will be restrained from the original double to 4 times, making it more deadly.

On the other hand, the Dragon attribute has never been a very strong offensive attribute. When acting as an attacker, this attribute is actually only restrained by itself, and can even be resisted by Steel-type...

Therefore, if we look at it purely from the perspective of attributes, if the attributes added after the Lizard King evolves are dragon-type, then the negative effects far outweigh the benefits.

But based on Sirona's experience, this is not necessarily the case.

After all, there is no dragon-attribute Pokémon that is a vegetarian.

They often have extremely strong racial values ​​and a very wide pool of offensive moves, which can greatly make up for their disadvantages in attributes.

I don't know if this is true... Can Lizard King learn some dragon-attribute moves after evolving... Or even learn more moves of other attributes like dragon-type Pokémon to make up for the shortcomings of its own attributes.

If that's the case, it would be a good thing.

But then again, I don't know when I'll be able to meet Daigo again in the game and obtain the item called the Key Stone, which is essential for mega evolution.

Also, since Lizardking's mega evolution is already so powerful, what level will Swampert reach with the other Swampert mega stone in his hand?

Also, as the three starter Pokémon, Swampert and Garchomp both have mega evolved forms, so the remaining Blaziken should also have the ability to mega evolve, right?

While thinking, Shirona glanced at her game team panel and planned to stop and sort out the current situation of her team.

There are currently 6 Pokémon in her team... The basic team structure has taken shape.

Among them, Lizardking is an offensive double-sword player with extremely fast speed, physical attack, and special attack, while the two Pokémon, Rakuten Kappa and Nopal, are the classic rainy day team combination and the cornerstone of the subsequent rainy day team.

The last remaining Rotom is a slow special attacker with multiple attributes and an electric type that can fill in blind spots.

Then it acts as a meat shield and has extremely high killing power against medium-speed, high-durability Pokémon such as Gylluca.

As for the last one, well, there is no need to introduce it in detail. It is a hexagonal warrior, a humanoid power bank, and an invincible modifier plug-in - Victini.

I always feel that in such a team with different strengths, the appearance of Victini is a bit out of place.

Thinking of this, Shirona couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hands, feeling somewhat helpless. It turned out that there was an insurmountable gap between the mythical Pokémon and other ordinary Pokémon...

But then again...

Since the mythical Pokémon in this game have performed so amazingly, she is really curious about what the scene would be like if she could really capture those legendary Pokémon.

Even Sirona couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation at this moment.

Having said that, after looking at her own team, she had already decided on the next direction of the team - to stop capturing Pokémon of other attributes as much as possible, and instead focus on building the Rainy Day Team, which was her original idea.

She didn't forget her original plan.

So, which Pokémon should be chosen next to integrate into the rainy day team?

If possible, she would also like to find more Pokémon with the Free-Roaming attribute or attributes related to rainy days.

When she thought of this, Shirona felt a little regretful. Why couldn't the characteristic of the Gnathosaurus be to swim freely?
How powerful would it be if it had the ability to swim freely?

Double speed, combined with the double damage of the Gill Bite of the Gills and the boost to water-based skills during rainy days...

Wow, that scene is so beautiful that I dare not even think about it.

After briefly reviewing the situation of her team and formulating the next direction for capturing Pokémon, Sirona continued on her journey.

In the gloomy and rainy weather, the road ahead was complicated, with dense tall grass in front of her, and a large number of trainers mixed in it, who would suddenly challenge Shirona out of the blue.

Fortunately, before she left, she bought a large amount of insect repellent spray from a store in Zijin City.

Otherwise, the numerous wild Pokémon emerging from the tall grass along the way would probably make it difficult for her to move forward...

After this experience, Shirona secretly vowed in her heart that when she had enough money, she would buy this item to the upper limit of 999. When she passed through such wild areas, she would have a sense of security in her heart...

Yes, there is also the item called resurrection grass. If I could get more of it... how great would that be?

When she thought of this, Shirona was suddenly stunned.

Yes.

Since magical candies can exist in reality, isn't it possible that props like bug spray and resurrection grass can also be put into the real world by this game?
For a trainer of her level, these two items might not be very useful.

But for those trainers who have to enter dangerous wild areas or even secret areas all year round, either of these two things is a life-saving magic item!

Although it seems that the insect repellent spray can only allow trainers to avoid wild Pokémon with a lower strength level than themselves.

But this is an item that appeared in the shop early in the game. Maybe spray-type items that can avoid Pokémon of any level will appear later...

Shirona couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the next weekend.

I don't know what the game's "reward upgrade" means...to what extent will it upgrade?

While pondering the game rewards for next week, Cynthia had spent nearly 20 minutes successfully traversing all the tall grass. However, the surrounding sky didn't clear up; instead, it became even more gloomy, and the atmosphere of the background music in the game also began to somber.

Shirona immediately reacted to the scene before her. Based on her experience, she estimated that some game plot would be triggered next.

Sure enough, the next moment, a huge building appeared directly in front of her!

The building was three or four stories high, and on the top and around the house were several huge antenna transceiver equipment, as well as some special machines whose uses Shirona could not tell.

On the top of this building is a huge red and white Poké Ball icon. It is obvious that this is an institution similar to a scientific research institute belonging to the alliance.

Shirona looked at the building in front of her and suddenly felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen this building somewhere in her real world before...

However, while she was thinking, she suddenly discovered that there was a suspension bridge on the right side of the building, which seemed to be her only way to go to Yinyu City.

However, at this very moment, on the other side of the suspension bridge, dozens of people dressed in dark blue uniforms stood in layers, ready to defend themselves, completely blocking the road.

The moment she saw this group of people, Sirona frowned.

Because the uniforms these people were wearing were the ones she last saw in the Ocean Museum in Kaina City. These people were actually members of the water fleet!
Why are they here?
Before at Meteor Falls, the leader of the water fleet, Shui Wutong, had shown up and warned himself to think clearly about where he stood, and then went to chase the people from the lava group.

But at the top of the volcano, Shirona didn't see Shui Wutong... which means he actually took advantage of the chaos to do something else...

Could it be related to the huge building in front of me?
The more Shirona thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. She controlled her character to walk towards the suspension bridge. Sure enough, the members of the water fleet immediately surrounded her and pushed her back.

[The boss told us! Martial law is in effect here! No one is allowed to pass through.]

An NPC member of the water fleet spoke.

Another person also added.

[Until all tasks at the Weather Research Institute are completed, we won't let anyone pass through here!]

Looking at the prompts in front of her, Sirona keenly caught a word.

——Weather Research Institute?

She finally understood why she felt that the building looked familiar when she saw it just now, because the Alliance has established many such research institutes in every region around the world.

Ostensibly, such an organization is intended to monitor and understand weather changes and natural climate variations around the world in real time.

But in reality, this organization also part-time detects abnormal energy fluctuations within a few thousand kilometers, the real-time appearance and disappearance of secret realms, and some other abnormal events...

When Shirona was on missions before, she often interacted with members of the Weather Research Institute to obtain intelligence about the missions.

But she had never been inside such an institution in person. She had only seen a few photos related to it before.

So, let's assume that this so-called weather research institute in the game is the same as the one in the real world.

What is the purpose of the water fleet attacking such a place?
Shirona couldn't help but feel a strong sense of doubt in her heart. They had previously taken the blueprints for the advanced submarine from the museum. Such behavior had already made her feel a little unbelievable...

Now that they have come to this kind of place... Shirona is even more confused about Shui Wutong's intentions.

But no matter what, since this seems to be a game plot that cannot be skipped, let's go and see what the Water Fleet is up to.

Opening the backpack, Shirona used the medicine to slightly restore the status of her team... and set Victini as the starting Pokémon, then directly controlled the character to rush into the Weather Research Institute.

To her surprise, she did not see any members of the water fleet on the first floor of the institute. Instead, she saw three shivering people in white robes in the left corner. They seemed to be researchers in the Weather Research Institute.

Seeing Sirona coming, a woman suddenly had a red exclamation mark on her head and walked forward quickly.

"Are you... a trainer from the League? Please, please help us. A large group of people just rushed out, blocked the top floor of the laboratory, and trapped our director. It's been a while now... We don't know what happened to the director. Please save him!"

"As a reward...if you can help us rescue the director, you can take anything from our experimental library!"

……

Faced with the request of the woman in front of her, Shirona naturally pressed the interact button without hesitation and chose OK.

An excited expression suddenly appeared on the woman's face.

"Great! This is the key to the secret passage of the research institute. Going up the stairs on the left should help you avoid those guys. Be careful!"

Along with her voice, a light blue key icon and a line of prompts appeared in front of Sirona.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the special item "Weather Research Institute Pass Key"]

Without any delay, she followed the direction the woman said, used the key to open the secret staircase on the left, went up all the way, and soon reached the top floor of the institute.

When Shirona pushed open the door and entered the top floor, two members of the water fleet, one on the left and one on the right, instantly noticed her, surrounded her and challenged her.

[Where did you come from, little brat? This is not the place you should be!]

[Dare to obstruct our fleet's actions, there is only one outcome! ]

As countless Poké Balls slid past her eyes and passionate music sounded, Shirona also directly entered the familiar battle interface.

However, unlike all the previous battles, when this battle started, the two opponents each sent out a stinging jellyfish and a megalodon, one on the left and one on the right, and they appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

Shirona also reacted immediately - this was a doubles battle!

She couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I thought the battle format in Pokémon Emerald was fixed.

But it seems that in this game, in addition to 1v1 battles, there are also 2v2 battles?
(I still have a fever today xvx, but it has subsided a little. I hope I will feel better tomorrow)
