: Rapid Leveling Up, Automatic Battle

Chapter 11: Rapid Leveling Up, Automatic Battle

Magikarp successfully took its first step, and Natsuki was very happy, which gave him even bolder ideas.

Of course, such a false battle cannot be repeated, nor can it remain effective indefinitely.

Unless different Pokémon are used to create different scenarios.

Xia Mu is not a director, and the Pokémon in his hands are not actors.

Once is enough; if it happens again, he won't be able to handle it.

Therefore, it still requires gradual accumulation to gain truly meaningful experience points.

Just like a Magikarp that has learned Tackle, it can join the battle against wild Pokémon and let it finish off the opponent.

Before having Magikarp or receiving Mewtwo's invitation, Xia Mu's only thought was to quickly get Growlithe to level 56 and then evolve it into Arcanine using a Fire Stone.

In this way, he would have an absolute trump card.

This level, while not necessarily capable of sweeping aside the top champions, is definitely not inferior to those below the top.

Furthermore, Arcanine is also known as a legendary Pokémon in the Kanto region, and it is engraved on a stone slab with the three legendary birds. In some ways, its fame is even greater than that of pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and its training value is no less.

Its base stat total is at least 555, which is higher than that of the starter Pokémon.

Yesterday's events changed Xia Mu's mind; he first felt that level 56 evolution might still be too far away.

Therefore, increasing the friendship level to allow Riolu to evolve might be the right thing to do.

During this process, you can also try to raise Riolu's level, so that Riolu will be stronger after evolving, and it can also help Growlithe level up faster.

It's mutual; the two little ones complement each other, it's just a matter of who takes the lead and who takes the lead.

Now that Magikarp exists, its evolution has become of paramount importance.

From now on, it will not only be a mount, but also a powerful partner!

Gyarados can definitely be considered a mainstay Pokémon, and it at least deserves to be in the top tier.

Moreover, it can evolve at level 20, which is why beginners should prioritize training it. Furthermore, the status of the shiny red Gyarados is unmatched by other Water-type Pokémon, except for Milotic.

……

"It might be tough, but the task ahead will be even more challenging. We need to help Magikarp level up quickly and evolve. We might have to spend the whole afternoon on it..."

Xia Mu revealed his plans.

The two little ones had long understood Xia Mu's intentions and had already guessed his plans.

They knew what Xia Mu meant, and they trusted Xia Mu.

As for Xia Mu, he was quite confident, since Magikarp was already level 15 and only 5 levels away from evolving.

He's fortunate to be a Magikarp living in the ocean, so his rank is much higher than those in lakes and rivers.

Take the Magikarp we encountered in Crescent Lake and the river before, for example; they were only level 4 or 5.

This is the difference brought about by living environment.

The Magikarp was brought back and calmed down. Xia Mu then fed it Energy Cubes to increase its intimacy level even faster.

Afterwards, Xia Mu revealed his plan.

Magikarp was overjoyed. It had been watching Growlithe and Riolu battle other Pokémon along the way, and it was actually tempted to join in, but it didn't know what to do.

Now, after experiencing battles and learning to collide, it has discovered the joy of fighting and the satisfaction of becoming stronger.

After reaching an agreement, Xia Mu first conducted a trial run.

Wandering along the lake, I found a few lone Magikarp.

Previously, the Magikarp here was hostile and disdainful towards Natsuki's Magikarp, so now it's a good opportunity to get revenge.

Growlithe and Riolu don't even need to lift a finger to defeat Magikarp.

After all, there's a world of difference between a Magikarp that has learned Tackle and one that hasn't.

Although it took a long time, and the Magikarp would run away after being beaten, Leorio controlled the field and kept them within a certain range.

Because Growlithe is naturally at a disadvantage due to its type advantage, Xia Mu always keeps it by his side to watch over him without having to do anything.

Xia Mu was also considering whether to let Growlithe try battling wild Pokémon on its own.

The game also features an auto-battle feature, allowing the Pokémon that follow you to gain more experience points more easily through autonomous battles.

It took more than ten minutes for Magikarp to finally defeat the last level 9 Magikarp, panting heavily.

It defeated five of its own kind in a row, without feeling any guilt, but instead becoming more and more excited.

Xia Mu could see Magikarp's emotions and was very happy. In his mind, he cursed the Magikarp.

To put it simply: I'll teach you to look down on me and call me a freak.

Unfortunately, despite defeating five Magikarp, it did not level up.

After all, the opponent's level is too low, so the experience points provided will naturally not be much.

Xia Mu wasn't in a hurry. He first helped Magikarp heal its injuries, and then fed it an Energy Cube to replenish its strength.

After that, they continued searching for the lone Magikarp.

The previous plan was to finish off the enemy, but now that Magikarp can win on its own, there's no need for deliberate planning.

After defeating fifteen more Magikarp of level five or six, with the highest being no more than level nine, Xia Mu's Magikarp only leveled up by one, reaching level 16.

The time it took was barely acceptable; it only took an hour.

"If you're lucky, you might actually be able to complete your evolution before this evening." Xia Mu was somewhat excited.

Evolving by gaining experience through real battles is very rewarding.

Riolu cheered encouragingly from the side, and Magikarp worked even harder, its mood changing to: It must evolve, it absolutely must evolve!

Xia Mu then looked at the Growlithe beside him, and his mind raced: "Growlithe, if you're bored, you can go find some Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon to challenge, just like the battles a few days ago. However, Riolu can't come with you; he has to stay here."

Woof~ Woof~

Growlithe has a cheerful personality and won't be unhappy because Natsuki doesn't care about her.

Instead, it saw this as a challenge, so after making a decision in its own way and with Xia Mu's consent, it quickly ran into the forest.

"Remember not to stray too far, Growlithe." Natsuki shouted as he watched Growlithe run off into the distance.

The Growlithe responded with a bark, meaning it understood.

Having experienced the previous few days, Growlithe already had a wealth of battle experience, so Natsuki wasn't worried about not being strong enough.

In fact, Growlithe can win even against Grass-type or Bug-type Pokémon that are close to level 40.

Unless you encounter a troublesome Flying-type Pokémon, such as Finch or Pidgeotto.

After seeing Growlithe off, Xia Mu turned to Riolu and said, "It must have been hard for you to stay here with Magikarp, Riolu."

Woof woof~

Riolu shook its head and called out in a childish voice.

I'm looking forward to reading my new book, adding it to my favorites, and sharing all kinds of data with you.
