Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

It's a 50/50 matchup.

However, Digimon don't have the various fancy abilities of Pokémon; they only have one or two moves. But as compensation, these two moves are extremely powerful.

For example, Guilmon's Fireball and Rock Claw are both STAB moves with a power of 100 according to the power rating in the Pokémon world, so they have a lot of impact.

This is an ability that a level 30 Rookie Digimon can master.

Despite its lack of move variety, it is indeed much stronger than Pokémon in terms of offensive capabilities!

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In terms of attributes, Digimon directly inherit the attributes from the Digimon world view, and their effects are a combination of the attributes from the Pokémon world.

For example, the Gilmon-Virus type that Jiang Gu drew.

It means that it is mutually restraining with all other attributes.

Of course, this is actually very good energy.

In the Pokémon world, battles are, without exaggeration, a matter of instant kills!

Often, if the opponent doesn't die after a single move, you're in danger.

Therefore, Guilmon's Virus type is practically invincible!

This means it will become a powerful attacker in Jiang Gu's hands!

Then Jiang Gu learned more about the power ranking system for Digimon.

The two stages of childhood correspond to levels one through ten and levels eleven through twenty, respectively.

Reaching level 30 marks the beginning of the growth phase.

The subsequent rank divisions will have a larger span.

The growth period is from level 30 to level 49.

Levels 50 to 69 represent the mature stage.

Levels 70 to 89 are considered complete.

Reaching level 90 allows you to break through to the ultimate form!

As for the ultimate mech, it requires a full level 120 to break through!

It is evident that the top combat power of Digimon is probably far beyond that of the Pokémon world, and only the Pokémon of the Seer universe can be compared with them!

After all, the strongest level of power in the Pokémon world—the level of a legendary Pokémon—is only level 100.

Breaking through this level afterward will be incredibly difficult.

Because in a sense, it has already surpassed the upper limit of the world's power!

However, the advantage of Digimon is that as long as their aptitude is sufficient, they can continue to evolve to the Mega level and smoothly reach level 120.

The Guilmon that Jiang Gu drew has the potential to become an Ultimate-level monster. As long as it develops, it will inevitably evolve into Dukemon.

Or the ultimate form of other evolutionary branches.

Ultimately, their strength can reach the level of a second-tier god in the Pokémon world.

Guilmon's potential was almost on par with the Light & Dark Mantis that Jiang Gu had spent a lot of points to train right from the start!

It's clear that the lottery draw went pretty well this time.

Of course, Jiang Gu also understood that although Digimon have great potential, they also require more energy and power to upgrade.

Generally speaking, to permanently upgrade to a certain stage, such as the Ultimate or Mega Evolution, the experience and refining energy required are more than three times that of a Pokémon of the same level!

The only advantage is that when a Pokémon suffers a fatal injury, it can only face death, while a Digimon can survive by regressing. Of course, the above refers to permanent upgrades; non-permanent upgrades... are actually simpler for Digimon than for Pokémon.

This is one of the added advantages of Digimon!

If Jiang Gu is willing to spend money to buy things like the Holy Plan, 693 can make the Digimon level up rapidly in a short period of time!

And this kind of improvement... when the bond is strong enough, can ignore the upper limit of aptitude!

Therefore, Jiang Gu can now directly evolve Guilmon into its Ultimate form!

As for the ultimate form.

Uh... The simplest way for Guilmon to evolve into Dukemon is for Jake to combine with D-ark and its network.

This requires building a relationship.

Afterwards, you can choose to improve the aptitude of this Digimon or cultivate a bond with it, and you can use special items to evolve Guilmon into Gallantmon.

Jiang Gu was quite satisfied with this.

In other words, he can now instantly summon a powerful fighting force simply by spending money to buy in-game items!

The Ultimate level, level 70 Groudon (evolved from Guilmon), has a fighting power similar to that of Sagros and Incaros at this time!

But Jiang Gu knew very well that he had to quickly cultivate a bond with Guilmon so that he could fuse and evolve with it. Grandgrownmon was just an ordinary Digimon. ...

Dukemon is the one with extraordinary talent and ability, while the level 70 Groudon is only on par with the level 60 Light & Dark Mantis.

However, Dukemon is on par with the two mantises in terms of combat power!

The difference between the Perfect and Ultimate forms is like night and day!

Of course, Jiang Gu would not admit it.

I think that things like network evolution, personally combining with spirits (Digimon) to fight, etc. are just too cool!

That's why I'm so impatient...

Electricity

Chapter 168: Sagros, Mega Evolution

Jiang Gu was excited for a long time.

Even the Guilmon next to him couldn't help but turn its head and look at its trainer with curiosity.

"Why is he acting so strangely? What's he getting so excited about?"

The Digimon pondered this in its mind.

Jiang Gu smiled and excitedly fought back and forth, unable to calm down for a long time.

Combination evolution and stuff like that...

So handsome too!

After that, you can fight alongside the Light and Dark Mantis!

What young person could resist such a temptation!

Fortunately, Jiang Gu remained relatively calm, knowing that evolving into Dukemon was still a long way off, and that he needed to build a relationship with Guilmon first...

Merging and evolving takes time.

It would take at least some time. Jiang Gu thought for a moment and took out more than a dozen energy cubes, piling them up in front of the newly joined partner.

"Try it, see if there's anything you like?"

He patiently and persuadingly.

Guilmon, however, didn't hold back when it came to these energy-rich things, eating them one after another!

Crunch, crunch.

This Digimon has its mouth stuffed full...

He then revealed an extremely excited expression.

"good to eat!"

Guilmon said excitedly.

Jiang Gu was startled.

He only realized it later.

"By the way, it seems that Digimon can talk..."

"It can be considered a special racial talent of theirs."

When they first met, Jiang Gu didn't speak, so Guilmon didn't know what language to use. Now they can communicate normally. "This tastes amazing!"

The Gilmon happily devoured the energy cubes one by one, thoroughly enjoying its meal.

Jiang Gu smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Energy cubes are indeed a magical tool for fostering relationships!

Seeing Guilmon's happy expression, his mood improved considerably.

Even without any ulterior motives, the desire to quickly build a bond with Guilmon and fuse for evolution is understandable.

Seeing his spirit (Digimon) showing such an excited expression, he felt very satisfied.

After finishing the energy cubes, Jiang Gu played with Guilmon for a while, and at the same time familiarized himself with the environment of the space transfer station.

Then we took it to the ecological park that simulates the Cloud Star, where it took a flight in the air.

The Guilmon was quite lively, jumping around on the airship and almost falling from the sky.
