Looking at her newly captured Pokémon, Yang Xiying suddenly hoped that Slowpoke would just evolve at level 37 as usual...

"Now the number of Pokémon you carry has doubled," Qinglv said with a smile, looking at Yang Xiying.

"But for Slowpoke to evolve, it needs Shellder to bite its tail, so I should only have three Pokémon."

Yang Xiying responded.

"Heh, so you mean you want to use Shellder as a fighting force?" Having studied the Pokédex, he also knew that Shellder could evolve into Cloyster.

"That's it."

Yang Xiying nodded. With a stubborn personality and the ability to continuously attack, it can learn Shell Smash after evolving. Equipped with Ice Spike, it becomes a super turret!

But thinking about it carefully, it's a bit strange to have Cloyster in my current team, since Cloyster's physical defense is also very high after evolution.

Slowpoke also needs to evolve to become a combatant, and its physical defense is also very high. So, together with Tangela, it will have four physical shields.

This kind of team is too honest and simple, and it's slow and a bit cumbersome, since a Pokémon trainer can only bring a maximum of six Pokémon with them.

Most matches are basically 6 vs 6 or 3 vs 3, so unless there are special team attributes, it's best not to repeat too many rules.

His team now includes the Fire and Ghost type Azure Blade, and after evolving into Hazelnut, it will have an additional Steel type.

The team now has four types, then there's Slowpoke, which evolves into Psychic/Water, while Shellder evolves into Cloyster, which is Water/Ice.

Suddenly having two overlapping types made him feel like he was going to develop OCD, and he even felt like he had to catch a Pokémon with a composite type when it came to catching Grass-type Pokémon!

However, the only Grass-type hybrid type that seems useful is Grass/Steel, and among Grass/Dark types, he's currently only interested in Ancient Snail...

And most importantly, his initial intention in forming the team was to center it around Azure Flame Blade Demon, so that she could exert her maximum power.

Therefore, the defensive combination of Cloyster is not as good as Slowbro or King Slowbro, even though both of them share the same attribute weakness as Azure Blade Demon.

But Slowbro or Hippowdon have decent physical and special defense, so there aren't many Pokémon that need Cloyster for offense.

The Blazing Ghost's moves allow it to fight Pokémon of the Bug, Ice, Grass, Steel, Water, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Rock, Ground, Fairy, Poison, Normal, Fighting, and Dragon types.

The only blind spots are flight, fire, and electricity. In this respect, Cloyster's skills don't give it much of an advantage over Slowpoke or King Slowpoke.

So it's better to use Shellder as an evolution item... Wear it on the head and it becomes King Slowbro, wear it on the tail and it becomes Slowbro!

—Dual form transformation, how can there be such a cool and adorable hatchling!

"Anyway, you've had a great haul. What are your plans now? If you're not going to subdue the Vine Monster, then you should leave."

At this moment, Qinglu spoke up, saying that since Yang Xiying's business was finished, it was time to talk about the business related to tree fruits.

“Okay, we can leave now,” Yang Xiying nodded. Capturing a Pokémon has caused quite a stir.

It's easy to attract more strange things, and newly captured Pokémon also need psychological counseling.

There's a high chance that a Pokémon that's been captured and beaten to its knees without prior communication will not obey you.

—Unless the Poké Ball has a brainwashing function.

In short, even if he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to handle catching any more new Pokémon, so he should go back and rest first.

“Um… I still want to stay here a little longer,” Red said at this moment, “because I want to catch a Magikarp.”

As he spoke, he conjured a fishing rod out of thin air.

"And this way I can prevent other trainers from getting ahead of Mr. Yang in catching the Tangela," he added.

"Haha, thank you so much," Yang Xiying couldn't help but smile, and Qinglu spoke up at that moment.

"Alright, then I wish you good luck in the air force." If Crimson wants to stay here, let him stay. Anyway, with his abilities, nothing bad will happen to him.

However, he wouldn't wait, because watching others fish was a bit boring, and he already had Squirtle and didn't need a Water-type Pokémon for the time being.

"Good luck, Crimson!"

Leaf shared a similar view with Green; she was content with just one Great Tail Steed, and watching others fish was too boring.

"Alright, I'll show you how I've returned with a full load of goods later," Chi Hong said with a confident smile as he bid farewell to Yang Xiying and her group.

“I’ll contact a ranger Pokémon to watch over this land for you,” Qinglv said to Yang Xiying as they headed toward Pallet Town.

"Well, thank you very much."

Yang Xiying responded with a smile, proving that she truly deserves the title of a leading lady and is very loyal.

However, Yang Xiying really doesn't mind if others catch the Pokémon first, even if they catch all the Tangela.

This way, the Vine Monster won't panic because it's losing a companion, but normally a person can only capture one.

—Yang Xiying is like that; he still needs to use some methods to subdue the vine monster…

P.S.: King's Trilogy will be on hiatus next week, so Zhou Zhi's show is canceled, but thankfully there's a special episode featuring Bao Taro...

Starting the Pokémon business at number 45...

The group of vine monsters appeared as soon as I showed them the berries, which means they are different from Slowpoke.

Slowpoke is quite unique at sea because Yang Xiying can see Pokémon in the water using her Observation Eye.

The surrounding area was mostly filled with Magikarp and agate jellyfish, with only a small number of Poliwag tadpoles or starfish.

But they are all in pairs, only Slowpoke is alone, so Yang Xiying can capture it without any pressure.

As for the Giant Tongue Shell, since it took the initiative to attack his Azure Flame Blade Demon, he wouldn't mind beating it up first, taking it back, and dealing with it later.

Since the other side attacked first, and I was only acting in self-defense, you should at least pay some compensation.

—Sign a contract and work for him for a few years.

In short, the situation of these two Pokémon is different from that of Tangela, which is more like a group and has not taken the initiative to attack.

This way, Yang Xiying's self-defense system cannot be triggered—she will beat them up and take one of the vine monsters with her.

Therefore, Yang Xiying still had to continue dealing with these guys and could not let herself be in the wrong. She had to be able to come up with a legitimate reason no matter what she did.

—Because only in this way can he feel at ease.

That's how it is now. First, use some tree fruits to establish an equal relationship with them, so that they understand the principle of equivalent exchange.

And with plenty of time ahead, wouldn't it be easy for me to tame a vine monster once I've established a good relationship with it?

And with so many Tangelas here, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to train some Tangelas with the right nature, ability, and IVs?!

Therefore, catching social Pokémon has its own advantages, but it is more costly, since their berries are limited.

However, the real issue of having a continuous supply of tree fruits is money, so Yang Xiying definitely needs to trade tree fruits with Qinglv.

Then he tried to use the Tangela he had traded for to make money. He had seen in the Pokédex that Tangela in the Kanto region was only found on Route 21.

The town of PalletNew is also shrouded in the terrifying legend of the Vine Monster, so there is a high probability that the value of the Vine Monster's vines has not yet been realized.

The aroma of these vines is indeed very tempting, and they have a good chewy texture. If they were made into delicacies or spices, wouldn't they be able to make a fortune?

However, he still needs to study this aspect carefully and prepare the relevant documents himself.

Fortunately, that cricket god hadn't been lazy in completing his identity information; he had all the required documents. According to that guy—

Pokémon trainers encounter various difficulties when traveling the world, so various certificates and documents will come in handy during the journey.

Even business licenses and food business permits are required, which is why Pokémon trainers are restricted to traveling only to those 16 years and older.

Pokémon trainers use this time to take exams and obtain necessary documents to make their future travels smoother, so there are relatively few Pokémon trainers who travel.

"Professor Oak, we're back!"

As they walked and chatted, Yang Xiying and her group returned to the Ooki Research Institute, where Ye Zi greeted them cheerfully.

"I caught my first Pokémon today. Come out, Ape-Tip," Leaf released a long creature.

It looks like a weasel, with white fur as its base and brown stripes. Its small, round hands and legs make it even cuter.

"Oh, so Leaf, you've taken a step on the path of becoming a trainer. Hmm, you caught a Great Ape, which suits you very well."

Looking at the vibrant leaves, Professor Oak smiled kindly, as he had a good impression of this child because it often helped him.

"By the way, Yang Xiying, have you caught the Pokémon you wanted yet?" At this moment, he also turned his gaze to Yang Xiying.

"Yeah, I caught a Slowpoke and a Shellder on the beach," Yang Xiying replied directly, which surprised Professor Oak a little.

"Slowpoke and Shellder? Weren't you going to catch Tangela?" This is completely different from what you said yesterday...

"Because Yang Xiying messed up and lured out a whole bunch of vine monsters," Qinglu said at this moment, her tone somewhat teasing.

“I see. Directly subduing the vine monsters like this can easily be perceived as an invasion by them, causing panic,” Professor Oak nodded subconsciously.

Catching Pokémon is a skill, after all, they have a kind of spirit, and you can't just beat them up and throw them balls to catch them completely.

This requires Pokémon trainers to invest a lot of energy in caring for their feelings, and to consider their living environment and their close companions.

—Only by doing these things can one be called a Pokémon Trainer.

"What do you mean by 'going too far'? I just wanted to use the tree fruit to test how many vine monsters were nearby," Yang Xiying replied with a pout.

"—This way, I'll have the opportunity to select the most suitable vine monster."

"But isn't that a bit too costly? And Yang Xiying, you didn't manage to subdue them in the end."

Blue Green certainly understands this approach, since even Pokémon of the same species have subtle differences in abilities, such as nature, individual values, and abilities.

However, trainers should generally consider their own circumstances when catching Pokémon, as catching and raising Pokémon requires resources.

If you don't have much money, you don't need to worry too much about the Pokémon's nature, ability, and individual values; just make sure it's the same type of Pokémon.

—Anyway, these shortcomings can be improved after the country becomes developed.

Yang Xiying did not directly subdue all the vine monsters, which shows that he did not have the cost of raising multiple vine monsters at once.

"However, you did manage to make contact with a large number of vine monsters using tree fruits in the end, and I do believe that you wanted to choose the best ones from among them."

Qinglv continued speaking.

"But do you really have enough resources to befriend the vine monsters? Or are you just making things up as a last resort when you encounter a problem?"

"Of course not! I still have enough tree fruit in my bag," Yang Xixiang thought. Was he really that kind of person?

[Learned a new skill: bluffing]

"..." The system voice in his mind made Yang Xiying suddenly fall silent. Well, he did act on a whim.

At first, he only intended to lure one, but suddenly so many appeared, making them more difficult to capture. He could only subconsciously maneuver around them...

Eventually, this puts me in a position where I can make an equivalent exchange with the vine monsters, and continuing down this path does indeed bring considerable benefits...

“Besides, I now have ways to make money, so buying some tree fruits to eat isn’t a problem,” Yang Xiying continued.

"Really? So your next step is to continue befriending the vine monsters and eventually subdue them?"

Qinglu didn't care whether Yang Xiying was bluffing or not; he was just curious about what Yang Xiying would do next.

"Hmm, this method is not bad either."

Yang Xiying nodded. This method was reasonable, but not in terms of his wallet, so he had to use another method.

"But I can also make others aware of the value of the vine monster itself, to the point that most people can afford to keep at least one."

"So you can just take a vine monster with you, right?" Green smirked. "But it just looks so clumsy."

"If you encounter an even larger Pokémon group in the future, will you also pay attention to the situation of that group? For example, Magikarp."
