Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"The place is quite big."

Behind the cold storage, in a square-grid aquaculture area, Mu Yun thought to himself, hiding in the shadows.

The layout here is similar to those outside where freshwater fish are raised.

The difference is that there are fewer squares, and each square is larger. The fish raised inside are not freshwater fish, but rather wild bass that float in the water, almost motionless, and lifeless all over.

【Elf: Savage Bass】

[Level: 9 (Normal)]

[Potential: Average]

..............................

..............................

【Elf: Savage Bass】

[Level: 11 (Normal)]

[Potential: Senior Level]

..............................

Mu Yun looked through the mask at the savage bass in the square pool.

In terms of potential, they are almost the same as Magikarp, both being at the Normal and Senior levels, with the occasional one or two having the potential to be at the Professional level.

Logically speaking, the potential of the Savage Bass family shouldn't be this high.

After all, the higher a Pokémon's base stats are, the higher its average base potential is generally.

For example, the potential of pseudo-legendary Pokémon is almost no less than that of Elite Four level, and the potential of starter Pokémon is almost all at or above professional level, with elite and dominant levels being very common.

Even if the Savage Bass family can't compare to the starter Pokémon, it is still a powerful Pokémon with a base stat total of 530 after its final evolution.

"Were all the high-potential ones eliminated...?"

Mu Yun had a guess in his mind.

As a meat fish, the wild bass doesn't need to be graded; keeping the higher-grade ones would actually be a hassle.

As generations of high-level, savage bass were eliminated, those that remained naturally lacked potential.

"It seems that the birth of the Red-striped Savage Bass is not so simple."

Among a group of savage bass with the highest potential being professional-level, the emergence of a red-striped savage bass with the potential to become a tyrant is clearly not a simple positive mutation of potential.

"Mode!"

(Sister Lan, I'm back!)

The red-striped savage bass excitedly leaped from one pool to another, eventually reaching a more secluded one.

Strangely, the surrounding savage bass seemed oblivious, paying no attention to the red-striped savage bass's actions.

"Mode!"

(How did you get back!)

A savage bass with blue stripes and azure eyes emerged from the pool, staring in astonishment at the red-striped savage bass.

How come the little guy I worked so hard to send away is back so soon?

At the same time, the information panel of the Blue-striped Savage Bass also came into Mu Yun's view.

..............................

【Elf: Savage Bass (Blue Stripes)】

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: 49 (Elite)]

[Ability: Mold Breaker (When using a move, you can ignore the effects of the opponent's ability)]

[Moves: Grave Visit, Brute Force, Tail Wagging, ..., Wave Surge, Rampage]

【Items to bring: None】

[Potential: Elite]

[Racial stats: 460]

Special Bonus: 1. Legacy of the Dead: From birth, the Savage Bass Clan carries the legacy of the grief and resentment left behind by their fallen kin.

It can borrow the power of possessing the spirits of the dead to interfere with the five senses of living beings, causing them to have a hallucination of entering reality. The intensity of the hallucination depends on the number of spirits.

If the deceased soul chooses to dissipate, it can inject its remaining power into the soul, thus rapidly increasing its growth level.

Current number of dead: 1021.

Current hallucinogenic level: Mid-stage Overlord level.

..............................

The Blue-striped Savage Bass has a similar stat distribution to the Red-striped Savage Bass, both being at the peak of the Elite level.

It just has a lower potential, only reaching the elite level.

But her special bonus is quite interesting.

Although it is similar to the Red-striped Savage Bass in that it is a lingering spirit, its effect is illusion manipulation, rather than increasing fighting spirit and reducing pain like the Red-striped Savage Bass.

"One leans towards physics, the other towards psychology?"

Mu Yun thought to himself.

While Mu Yun was observing from the shadows, the Red-striped Savage Bass explained everything that had happened during this time.

"Mode......"

The Blue-striped Savage Bass was greatly alarmed, because apart from the Red-striped Savage Bass, she had not found another human being there.

This is why she surfaced and appeared.

It wasn't until the Red-striped Savage Bass pointed its fin into a dark corner that she could see a human wearing a white mask with blue stripes standing there.

"Mode!"

(Okay, I'll do as you say and go with him!)

The Blue-striped Savage Bass is decisive and makes its decision immediately.

Firstly, it was out of trust in his younger brother, and secondly, he had no other choice.

Staying here means there's no way forward; death is inevitable sooner or later.

But if what you've heard and seen is true, then perhaps her Savage Bass Clan really can regain its vitality.

At least, they are no longer fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

She'd do anything to save her people!

"In that case, welcome to the team."

Upon hearing the Blue-striped Savage Bass's decision, Mu Yun, who had been listening intently, appeared before them in a flash.

Unlike the teleportation in the spirit realm, the flash in the real world is simply because he is fast enough.

With the elite-level strength of the Blue-striped Savage Bass, its movements are completely undetectable.

The Blue-striped Savage Bass concealed its shock, gave Mu Yun a deep look, and then suddenly leaped out of the water, letting out a long, drawn-out sound.

"Mode!!!"

In an instant, the previously lifeless savage bass seemed to be activated, its unwavering eyes immediately brightening.

[The population born from the Red-striped Savage Bass is no longer lazy and docile, allowing themselves to be slaughtered, but dares to fight back fiercely until death.]

As Mu Yun watched the savage bass leaping vigorously in the pool, these words suddenly echoed in his mind.

"This blue-striped savage bass can actually disrupt the perception of more than four hundred savage bass..."

Based on the information on the panel just now, Mu Yun understood in an instant.

In order to ensure their safe development, they hypnotized all the members of their tribe.

With such temperament and wisdom, the wild bass would be truly extraordinary in free waters.

However, it's not too late now.

Once he has enough potential to break through his limits, he will become a formidable general under his command in the future!

"Don't panic, I'll take you to a new place." After a pause, Mu Yun added, "A free place."

"Mode!"

(Thank you for your help!)

The Blue-striped Savage Bass did not haggle; after waking its people, it respectfully lowered its fins to Mu Yun.

Mu Yun nodded, and with a wave of his hand, all the leaping, savage bass disappeared.

"You should go back too. Remember to keep your people in check and don't let them wander off."

Mu Yun gave the Red-striped Savage Bass some instructions, and then put it away as well.

After putting away the Red-striped Savage Bass, Mu Yun didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stood there and silently counted down.

Just as the number reached zero, a furious shout came from the doorway.

"Who are you? Where's my bass?!"

The one who shouted was none other than Kao Shi, who had rushed over in a hurry.

His body was still stained with blood, clearly indicating that he had seen Gao Zao's corpse.

Beside him was a huge blue jellyfish that was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

Tentacruel, a Water/Poison type Pokémon, is the ace of Kochi.

A Pokémon that has reached the beginner level of the Gym Leader.

Upon seeing his nephew's body, he was both anxious and furious, but deep down he also felt a sense of relief.

If the other party dares to kill, then they are definitely not from the authorities!

After all, what he did, while serious, was by no means a capital offense.

He was confident he could stop them as long as they weren't discovered by the authorities.

Since the opponent attacked while he was away, their strength must be average.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to such underhanded and despicable acts of double-crossing.

But to his surprise, all of his hundreds of wild bass, worth over a hundred million, were gone!

This is worse than death for him!!

What a shameless scoundrel!

"Tenacious jellyfish, take him down!!"

Kao Shi ignored Mu Yun, who was wearing a mask and pretending to be a ghost, and immediately gave the order.

Mu Yun calmly raised his hand.

"roar!!"

In an instant, a colossal creature appeared in mid-air, its roar deafening.

"Gyarados...?"

Kao's expression changed drastically, and he gasped in shock.

He wasn't unfamiliar with Gyarados.

But what the hell is that Gyarados that's over 20 meters long?!

Brother, you should have said so earlier if you had the ability. Consider the sea bass a small token of my respect...

Unfortunately, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Even though the other party was clearly no ordinary person, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

What if the other party is just a paper tiger trying to scare people?

Kaohsiung tried to convince himself.

In fact, he was right.

Erli's level is indeed not high, only senior level.

Even with extremely high base stats, it's impossible to defeat a Gym-level Tentacruel by crossing four major levels.

But he has a powerful trainer!

"Waveguide power, activate!"

In an instant, Mu Yun's wave power, which was equivalent to that of a Heavenly King, was transferred to Erli, who was connected to him by mind.

Ordinary spirits could hardly withstand a waveguide of Elite Four level strength.

But Erli is different; he is born with a strong physique and an astonishing capacity to bear weight.

Almost instantly, Erli's aura surged forth like a tidal wave.

"roar!!"

The dragon's roar resounded once more.

That sound reverberated throughout the universe!

Even the square-faced captain, who was lying in wait outside the factory, was shocked and his heart was pounding.

He looked at the cold storage with suspicion and muttered to himself:

"What happened?"
