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

Chapter 147 A Different Kind of Feeling

Complaints aside, the work still needs to be done.

Ling Feng directly activated the system and responded with the most concise prompts.

He knew that any extra emotional coloring or explanation would be filtered out as useless data by the efficiency-driven Mewtwo, so there was no need for him to say anything more.

[Battle Tips: Pokémon have type advantages and disadvantages. Water-type attacks are ineffective against Grass-type Pokémon, while Grass-type attacks are highly effective against Water-type Pokémon. Players are advised to consult their Pokédex before battle and utilize type advantages to formulate their tactics.]

The attribute counter table is as follows.

Ling Feng thoughtfully sent over an attribute counter table.

Mewtwo's brain quickly analyzed and stored the new rule called "type advantage," and all battle data was instantly recalculated, making its logic quite clear.

It seems that the previous failures were not due to the lack of strength of the "tools", but rather to the incorrect "applicability" of the "tools".

Mudkip's "tool" type is not suitable for countering Grass-type "tools".

Therefore, the current solution is to expand our toolkit and acquire and configure new tools that can effectively counter grass-type units.

This is currently the highest priority.

Without the slightest hesitation, his game character turned around decisively and stepped back into the lush grass of Route 101.

Meanwhile, Mewtwo was also thinking quickly.

Now all I need to do is capture new Pokémon, select those that are super effective against Grass-type Pokémon (Bug, Poison, Flying, and Fire types) and have potential, and add them to my team.

At the same time, Ling Feng carefully observed the interface in front of him, and he had already guessed what Mewtwo was going to do.

However, it seems there are quite a few Grass-type Pokémon in this area.

Is it a tussock beetle? Or a bob beetle?
As he was speculating, the battle interface suddenly opened!

The bright yellow figure that appeared opposite him made Ling Feng pause in surprise.

—The creature trembling slightly in the image, raising its tiny, pointed tip, is none other than the unicorn beetle, which theoretically has an extremely low probability of appearing!
This thing only has a 1% chance of spawning; I've never encountered it even when I was streaming myself.
Isn't Meng Ge's luck a bit too incredible?
However, an even more alarming scene unfolded before his eyes!
—He saw that Mewtwo's character hadn't weakened its HP at all, and without even a moment's hesitation, it opened its backpack and, with an astonishing speed, immediately focused its gaze on the only Poké Ball!
"Wait?
Ling Feng instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

I think I forgot to include in the tutorial the information about weakening Pokémon's battle strength to increase the capture rate, which caused Mewtwo to misunderstand how to use the Poké Ball.
Moreover, if he fails to capture this ball, given his current progress and resources, he will not have another chance to catch a new Pokémon in the short term unless he defeats his rival with Mudkip.

Oh wow.

Ling Feng could even picture the failed capture attempt: the Poké Ball bouncing away, the Weedle emerging.
Why don't you quickly explain this to Meng Ge?
However, Mewtwo acted without the slightest hesitation or wavering, throwing the Poké Ball directly.

His core logic has completed all the necessary calculations—now the most important thing is to defeat the rival, and the optimal solution is to obtain a Pokémon that is super effective against Grass-type Pokémon.

When a Bug/Poison type Weedle appeared before him, he naturally didn't hesitate any longer and immediately used a Poké Ball!
The next moment, the Poké Ball drew a calm arc, accurately hitting its target. A red light sucked the Weedle into it, and the ball landed, beginning to sway from side to side.

a bit.

The muffled sounds stood out sharply against the silenced battle music.

Twice!

Ling Feng also subconsciously held his breath.

The third time!
"Ding dong!"

A crisp, heavenly sound of a successful capture suddenly rang out, breaking the tense silence!
—Successfully captured!

"Holy crap, a naked ball shot?!"

Ling Feng was completely dumbfounded.

As a rare Pokémon, Weedle's catch rate is designed to be quite low. Even though its level is very low, the catch rate is probably less than one percent even with this kind of Poké Ball throwing!
Faced with such results, Mewtwo on the other side of the screen seemed completely unfazed, as if this was just a natural part of the plan.

He calmly placed the newly acquired "tools" into the team, without even glancing at the encyclopedia, and immediately threw himself into practical training, with a clear objective.

By constantly encountering wild Pokémon, and then giving all battle opportunities to Weedle, you can maximize its experience gain and help it level up as quickly as possible.

Ling Feng nodded in agreement. Catching new Pokémon and leveling them up—it's like completing a year's worth of gameplay in just a few minutes.

Soon after winning a battle against a wild zigzag bear, the victorious Weedle was surrounded by a pure and soft rainbow glow. Its form began to change in the light, its shell hardened, and it evolved into Kabuto!

Mewtwo coldly recorded this "tool upgrade" process, updating the memories in its brain:

Kabuto, a Bug/Poison type. Its defense has been significantly improved, and it has gained the moves [Poison Sting] and [Harden].

Efficiency remains his sole principle.

He stood before his formidable rival once more, and the red-haired girl's conversation remained as vibrant as ever.

Here we go again! I won't lose this time either!

Mewtwo skipped the dialogue and immediately sent out its first Pokémon.

【I choose you, Metal Shell Chrysalis!】

"Harden".

Mewtwo's command was concise; the shell of Metapod gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its defense was boosted by one level.

The opponent's Treecko charged forward swiftly, and this time he didn't use Drain as before, but instead used Slap!

However, the enhanced defense of the Ironshell Kun easily withstood the attack, without losing even a quarter of its health.

A new round begins.

"Poison needle."

The next moment, several tiny, purple-glowing poison needles shot out precisely from the gaps in the hard shell of the MetalGreymon, instantly hitting the agile Treecko.

The power of elemental advantage is clearly demonstrated at this moment.

—Exceptionally effective!
The Treekia let out a miserable cry as its health bar suddenly dropped by two-thirds!

The ensuing battle goes without saying.

Soon, after the second poison needle, Treecko's eyes swirled, and it collapsed heavily to the ground. With the victory, Mewtwo's mood panel showed a significant reduction in the previous "frustration."

Unbeknownst to him, this also reaffirmed the correctness of the plan to "expand the number of targeted Pokémon" in his own mind.

After defeating its formidable rival, Mewtwo continued its storyline.

Return to the research institute to retrieve your Poké Ball, visit the Far East Gym, and help Dawn catch her starter Pokémon.

With Mudkip and Kakuna in tow, Mewtwo entered Petalburg Woods, the only place on its way to its next destination.

Unlike the pixelated graphics players experienced before, Mewtwo is now in a dark and enclosed environment, with intertwined trees forming a natural maze. The frequency of wild Pokémon appearances and the number of trainers have both increased significantly.

Fortunately, none of these are problems for Mewtwo.

He continued to employ the most efficient leveling strategy, using Kakuna as his lead Pokémon in every possible battle to gain maximum experience points and propel it toward the next evolutionary stage—he already knew the characteristics of Bug-type Pokémon, namely their extremely fast evolution speed.

The battles in the forest are repetitive and monotonous. After defeating a Wurmple, the Pokédex tells Mewtwo that it "eats leaves". After encountering a Poliwag, the Pokédex also records its "competitive" nature.

Mewtwo learns of the "tough yet fragile" nature of the Kabuto and Cocoon that the Bug Catchers battle with.

This data continued to flood Mewtwo's mind. The underlying belief that "Pokémon are tools" seemed to remain firmly in place, but some subtle and imperceptible changes were quietly growing in places that Mewtwo could not detect.

Finally, after a fierce battle with a short-sleeved boy who possessed the Lotus Leaf Child, the victorious Metapod was once again completely enveloped by the pure white light of evolution!

This time, the rainbow's light was far more dazzling than the last time!
When the hard outer shell cracked in the rainbow light, it was replaced by a sharper, more aggressive figure with needles flashing with a cold light!
Beedrill!

One of the top Bug-type Pokémon, an excellent Pokémon with both Speed ​​and Attack stats.

Metalglin has finally completed its ultimate evolution!
[Tool upgrade complete]

However, Mewtwo was checking the in-game panel information, calmly updating the information in his mind.

[Codename: Beedrill, Type: Bug/Poison. Attack and Speed ​​stats significantly improved. Moveset updated: Added [Combo Slash]. Evaluation: A specialized tool against Grass and Psychic type units.]

Everything seemed to be proceeding according to the normal trajectory.

However, just as Mewtwo was preparing to continue his journey through the forest with his evolved and much stronger team, an unexpected encounter pulled him back to that moment of confusion.

This time, the opponent is a seemingly ordinary guy in shorts, but he has sent out an exceptionally fierce Pidgey!
Its speed and strength are both very strong, and its move "U-Aerial" deals extremely high damage. Due to the type advantage, Mewtwo decisively withdrew Beedrill and sent in Mudkip.

However, the latter's stamina bar rapidly decreased under the opponent's attacks, reaching zero and flashing a blinding red light.

The Mudkip's combat animation in the game has become sluggish and slow, visibly appearing tired and weak.

This unit's stamina is too low. Recovery items must be used to maintain its combat capability.

Mewtwo's mind makes the best judgment.

He calmly opened his backpack, selected [Healing Potion], and used it.

From a purely logical standpoint, all of this seems clear-cut and without any problems.

However, almost simultaneously, a sudden sense of discomfort, like an electric current, jolted Mewtwo back to its senses.

Looking at the red glowing stamina bar and the weak Mudkip, a strange feeling welled up in Mewtwo's heart: anxiety, irritability, and unease made him feel uncomfortable all over.

The opponent's Pidgey was finally defeated.

After the battle, Mudkip raised its head and looked at Mewtwo, revealing an expression that seemed both smug and waiting for Mewtwo's praise.

But the latter glanced down at Mudkip, and after a brief silence, took out a Poké Ball and recalled it.

He didn't understand why the Mudkip was behaving this way, and continued to venture deeper into the forest.

But the recent incident seems to have caused some changes in it.

He suddenly began to notice data that he would have previously ignored as useless information.
He saw Bug-type Pokémon quietly munching on leaves in the trees of the forest. He also saw a Poliwag playing and frolicking happily among the grass.

These images and information, imbued with a vibrant life force, subtly and continuously impacted the concepts and ideas instilled in his mind.

Are these vibrant lives truly... tools?
With this quietly growing contradiction, Mewtwo finally succeeded in crossing Chenghua Forest and arrived at the next city—Kanaz City.

The city was filled with a rocky atmosphere, and the air was filled with a completely different feel than before.

Mewtwo's goal was clear and singular, and it headed straight for the iconic Rock Gym in the city center.

At the entrance of the dojo, he checked the notice board for information about the dojo master, Du Juan, and immediately used the attribute match table he had mastered in his mind to perform a matching calculation:

"Rock type. Weaknesses: Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel. Resistances: Normal, Flying, Poison, Fire."

Almost instantly, he found the optimal solution:
"Water-based attacks are extremely effective against rock-based attacks..."

Therefore, he did not hesitate to designate Mudkip as the "core tool" for this battle.

After easily eliminating several NPCs, the final battle for the dojo master could begin.

After the cuckoo's opening remarks, countless Poké Balls swept across the screen, and the battle began!
The environment is an arena filled with jagged rocks. Gym Leader Cuckoo's first Pokémon was the ancient and slow-moving Cinnabar.

After a brief moment of thought, Mewtwo calmly dispatched Beedrill.

Bug-type moves are extremely effective against Grass-type moves. Therefore, use the move: Slash Combo.

Upon receiving the command, Beedrill's twin needles transformed into blurry light and shadow, striking Cradle Lily's thick fossil body repeatedly with remarkable effect!
Despite the opponent's extremely high defensive capabilities, it eventually succumbed to the relentless attacks and fell helplessly.

Cuckoo then sent out her second Pokémon—Archaeopteryx.

Its form is ancient, its eyes are sharp, and its speed is quite fast!

With a flash, it let out a sharp cry, and countless huge, angular rocks rapidly condensed in the air, crashing down with terrifying force!
Rockfall!

Rock Slide. A rock-elemental skill. Extremely effective against flying units, and also against insect-elemental units!

The massive rock slammed down on the Beedrill, which had just won the round, instantly unleashing explosive power!
Before Beedrill could even react, its health bar was completely emptied in an instant. In the battle animation, its eyes swirled with the inability to fight, and it collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless...
