Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

Shi Dou said with certainty, "That's right, it's Gastly. Gastly is a very special species, being a Ghost/Poison type. Its final evolution, Gengar, possesses extremely powerful special attack capabilities and a rich move pool. It is elusive and a terrifying special attacker and tactical core, fully qualified to be trained as an ace."

The Gengar family is so powerful that even its Mega Evolution form is definitely among the top five strongest Mega Pokémon.

To be honest, as a Fighting Gym Leader, Shi Dou couldn't help but want to catch a Gengar to train.

Mega Gengar is incredibly imposing.

Kaoru carefully memorized every word Tokito said, nodded vigorously, her face filled with gratitude and a barely perceptible blush, and said shyly, "I've remembered it all, thank you so much for your careful guidance, Master!"

Tokito waved his hand and said gently, "These are just my personal suggestions. To continuously improve in Pokémon battles, you need to constantly optimize your team and tactics. I hope these suggestions will help you achieve better results in the next Indigo League."

Kaoru nodded emphatically, "Yes! I will definitely work hard and will not let Mr. Tokito down."

"If...if I achieve good results, I wonder if I would have the honor of a date with you, Master?"

Of course, Kaoru only dared to think the last sentence in her heart; she would never dare to say it out loud.

Finally, at the entrance of the dojo, Kaoru bid a reluctant farewell, "Gym Leader Tokito, thank you so much for today! I will definitely come back to learn from you again next time."

"welcome any time."

Shi Dou waved goodbye enthusiastically.

After seeing Kaoru and her group off, Bu Miao sidled up to Shi Tou and whispered with a hint of jealousy, "Shi Tou-nii~ that girl is so pretty, are you saying so much just because she's pretty?"

Shidou chuckled, gently patted Bulbasaur's head, and said softly, "What are you thinking about? As a gym leader, it is my duty to provide guidance and advice to trainers with potential."

"That would be best...but..."

Bu Miao pouted, then suddenly changed the subject, revealing a strange expression, and said, "Are you really planning to train such a gentle and cute girl into a master trainer who specializes in Bug and Poison type Pokémon? The contrast is too great!"

Shi Tou looked in the direction Kaoru had left and smiled. "That was her own choice. You can't force someone to love something. Everyone has their own preferences and path. As long as she's happy and can become stronger, what does it matter?"

“That makes sense.” Bu Miao thought for a moment and nodded.

The two returned to the dojo.

After resting for a while, Dahl went back to his poor arm for his usual "sparring".

The experience gained in his battle with Kaoru just now seemed to have become nourishment, making Dahl's movements even more sharp and precise.

In a swift charge, Dahl's Arm Blade, gleaming with the [Sharpness] attribute and the red glow of the [Life Orb], delivered a clean and decisive slash, once again knocking the struggling Arm Force to the ground.

Arm strength: Stop hitting the spicy stuff!!!

The moment Wanli fell to the ground, the combat energy that Dahl had accumulated seemed to reach a certain critical point!

Om-!

In an instant, a strong white light burst forth from Dahl's body without warning, instantly enveloping him completely. The light grew brighter and brighter, and one could even feel the energy contained within surging and transforming violently!

"just?!"

Dahl himself also exclaimed in surprise.

"This is...evolution?!"

Toki and Bulbasaur, along with all the Pokémon in the dojo, were instantly drawn to this sudden phenomenon, their eyes fixed on the increasingly intense cocoon of light.

Dahl is about to evolve!

After the white light dissipated, the small mantis was a size larger than before, but it still maintained its streamlined shape.

Its entire body was still that unique emerald green, but the luster of its carapace was brighter, its posture had changed to a more stable four-legged stance, and its head had a pair of huge yellow compound eyes that shone with a sharper light.

What's most eye-catching are its pair of arm blades, which have become longer and wider, with a chilling glint at the edges. Overall, the sense of speed and aggressiveness have been greatly enhanced.

Shi Dou eagerly opened the system's data panel:

[Sprite: Hilda (Intermediate Evolution Form)]

[Attribute: Fighting]

【Level: 20】

【Characteristic: Sharp (Increases the power of slashing moves by 50%)

[Newly Acquired Skill:]

Soaring Moon Double Flash (Melee/Physical): +2 priority, swings arm blades to perform two swift, moonlight-like slashes, each attack dealing 40 damage.

Double-Edged Blade (Fighting/Special): Releases a cross of fighting spirit blades with a power of 75 and a 15% chance to lower the opponent's Special Defense.

Extreme Speed ​​(Normal/Physical): Unleashes maximum speed for a powerful attack. (Note: Unlike the "Extreme Speed" in Pokémon World which grants +2 priority, this move has no priority effect, but it does raise the user's speed by 2 stages!)

Aura Protection (Change): Activates aura around the user, granting immunity to all abnormal statuses for 4 turns, as well as immunity to all effects that reduce ability levels, and increases the user's chance of hitting a critical hit to approximately 31.25% (5/16) for 3 turns!

【种族值：HP:80攻击:85防御:60特攻:65特防:80速度:80】

Total: 450

Looking at the skill panel, especially the effects of the last two skills, Shi Dou gasped in shock.

Outrageous!

It's outrageous!

The first two attack skills I learned were fine, just normal attack skills. But what are these two next?!

While Extreme Speed ​​doesn't grant the first strike like in the Pokémon versions, does it instantly double your speed?

And this [Battle Aura Protection]... It causes immune abnormalities, weakens the immune system, and greatly increases critical hit chance?!

This mantis's skill pool is completely illegitimate, isn't it?

So you're not even going to act anymore?!

Although he complained, Tokito was secretly overjoyed.

This intensity is simply incredible.

With this move pool, Shidou is guaranteed to hold his own even against level 30 Fighting-type Pokémon.

The cat standing nearby covered its mouth in surprise and said, "It's changed again! I've never seen such a strange Pokémon before, even its evolved forms are so unique..."

"It's weird, that's right."

After all, they weren't originally from this world.

Chapter 15 Arm Strength: Wait, buddy? Even after evolving, you still get beaten up?

Tokito calmed his excitement, stepped forward, and carefully stroked Hilda's hardened, pointed head.

Hilda seemed to have become more mature after evolving. Instead of resisting, it looked at Shidou gently with its huge yellow compound eyes and rubbed its palm against his hand to show affection.

"You've worked hard. How do you feel after the evolution?"

Tokito took out a bottle of Moo Moo Milk and handed it to Hilda. Hilda happily took it carefully with her arm blade, or rather, held it between her fingers, and gulped it down, looking very satisfied.

Hilda nodded, feeling quite pleased.

This scene is filled with a heartwarming sense of connection.

Then, Shi Dou took out a few plump blue tangerines and handed them to Wanli, who had just gotten up from the ground and looked aggrieved. "Here, Wanli, you worked hard just now. Here, help you recover your strength."

Machop was moved to tears when he saw the blue berry that the gym leader handed him to restore his stamina. He felt that the gym leader was really kind, and the grievances of being beaten up earlier had dissipated a lot.

However, just as Arm-Strength took the blue orange and popped it into its mouth, before it could even savor its sweetness, it heard Tokito say to it in an incredibly natural tone:

"Alright? Have you rested enough? Machop has almost recovered too. Hilda, now that you've evolved and mastered a new power, you need to familiarize yourself with it. Let Machop continue practicing with you and try out your new skills!"

Wrist strength: "????"

The blue mandarin orange in my mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

Still practicing?!

Even in its initial form, I was no match for Dahl. Now this strange mantis has evolved into an even more ferocious-looking mantis. How am I supposed to fight it?

Isn't this just being used as a punching bag?!

The thought of facing the absurd "Soaring Moon Double Flash" or the even more terrifying combination of "Divine Speed" and "Battle Aura Protection" made Wanli feel a wave of dizziness and a huge sense of grievance, despair, and... inexplicable pressure surge into his heart!

Om-!

Just as the arm strength was about to explode, a not strong but real white light also emerged from its body!

Tokito, Bumina, and Hilda, who had just finished drinking milk, were all stunned and looked at Machop.

Wanli himself was also completely bewildered as he stared at his glowing hands and feet.

Could it be that it was driven to the brink of madness, or perhaps under immense pressure and the "gentle" "encouragement" of the curator, it... passively evolved?!

The light of evolution shone for the second time today within the dojo.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the white light of evolution that enveloped Arm Strength gradually dissipated.

The one that appeared in the same spot was no longer the short, stocky Armwyn, but a much taller, gray-skinned Mawful with strong muscles all over his body. He wore a golden belt to limit his power and still carried the residual energy from his recent evolution.

Machamp, the Strength Pokémon, is a Fighting-type Pokémon. It is extremely robust, possessing both strong physique and endurance. It is never idle, always going all out. It is a tenacious and sturdy Pokémon that uses its strength—the ability to lift a dump truck with one hand—to train its body and happily help people with strenuous tasks such as carrying heavy luggage.

Bulbasaur blinked, staring at the muscular Machamp, and said incredulously, "I didn't expect... Machamp to evolve at a time like this? Was it because he was too excited to see Hilda evolve?"

Shi Dou rubbed his chin, looking at Mawile, who seemed to still be adjusting to its new body, and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Possibly. However, I think it might have evolved because it was 'angered'... After all, pressure is a kind of motivation. Don't you see a lot of monkey monsters evolving into Primala when they get angry?"

Upon hearing the Gym Leader's words, the newly evolved Machoke immediately waved its arms and protested with a "Machoke! Machoke!" sound, trying to argue that it hadn't evolved out of anger!

However, its protests were clearly ineffective.

Tokito was already smiling as he looked at Hilda, beginning a new plan: "Hilda, now that Machoke has evolved, its strength should have increased, and it should be more resilient. If possible tonight, you should learn a new move from it called Focus Ki."

"The 'Gathering Qi' technique allows you to concentrate your mind and increases your chances of hitting vital points by two levels."

Toki further explained, "In Pokémon battles, the chance of hitting a critical hit is divided into several levels. The base critical hit chance of a normal attack is very low. Your 'Fighting Spirit' can directly raise this chance to a very high level (about 31.25%). If you use Focus to raise it two levels on top of that, then you can almost guarantee a critical hit!"

"Before you learn the more advanced 'Air Spin Slash' which can greatly increase your critical hit rate, 'Aura Protection' combined with 'Aura Gathering' will be the key combination to maximize your output."

Upon hearing the trainer's command, Hilda's huge yellow compound eyes flashed with understanding and excitement. It began to unconsciously rub its sharp white arm blades, making a soft "clanging" sound, and looked at Machoke with eager anticipation.

Haoli: "???"

Haoli: "Waaaaah..."

Must they be used as teaching tools and punching bags right after evolving?

Help! ! !

So, on this night, the fighting arena was no longer filled only with the monotonous sound of blades being swung; it was also filled with Jiahao's shouts of "Hello, hello!" and the sharp whistling of Hilda's arm blades cutting through the air, weaving together a unique "night training symphony."

After handing over the special training mission to the two Pokémon, Shidou returned to his room, skillfully turned on his computer, and habitually logged into the Pokémon Masters platform to check the rankings.

However, as soon as he logged in, Shi Dou was startled. His private message icon showed an astonishing red number "99+", which was still jumping.

"What's going on? Why are so many people sending me private messages?"

Shi Dou was full of doubts, thinking that someone was discussing tactics or criticizing him because of yesterday's live stream.

I quickly opened the private message list and found that most of the messages were from "@SpeakerShuoXiaFanAG" with a video link attached.

Curious, Shi Dou clicked on the link, and the page redirected to the video section of Bogarman TV.

What came into view was the video he uploaded yesterday—

[Pokémon Masters Lesser-Known Hero Tutorial Part 1: The King You Thought Was a Bottom-Tier Player – Wobbuffet – Is Actually a God of Tactics!]

The view count below the video showed a number that left him speechless: 30.8 views, and the number was still growing rapidly!

"Three...three hundred thousand views?!"

Shi Dou could hardly believe his eyes. He was just a new streamer who had only been broadcasting for one day. How could a tutorial video have such a terrifying number of views?

How is this going?

P.S.: Bros, do you hope the next partner will be from Sael, another other world, or a normal Pokémon?

I'd like to ask for everyone's suggestions and opinions~

Chapter 16 Arrowhawk? My grandma used it and could even reach Master Ball.

Shi Dou quickly opened the video, which was indeed a compilation of Wobbuffet tutorials and highlights from his own ranking matches.
