Evolution! Red Gyarados
Chapter 12 Evolution! Red Gyarados
An hour later, Magikarp defeated more than twenty Magikarp in succession, successfully leveling up from level 16 to level 17.
An hour later, Magikarp defeated more than thirty Magikarp again, leveling up from level 17 to level 18.
……
Using the Magikarp school in Crescent Lake to level up is indeed very effective, but there's something amiss now.
That is because the wild carp sensed the danger and swam towards the center of the lake, leaving no carp at the lakeside.
Once they reached the center of the lake, Natsuki was no longer able to assist in commanding Magikarp in battle.
If Magikarp is allowed to run rampant, it may attract some powerful Water-type Pokémon.
At least, it's best not to mess around before evolving Gyarados.
Ultimately, Xia Mu doesn't believe that powerful and ferocious Pokémon like Gyarados can't survive in Crescent Lake.
It's a pity that defeating some ordinary fish doesn't give you experience points, otherwise you could have made a killing.
The Pokémon world isn't just about Pokémon; I only learned this after I traveled through time. At first, I was quite skeptical, but later I understood.
If there are no common species, where will the food come from?
Do they really eat the flesh of certain Pokémon?
It's not that there aren't any, but they are only a very small minority.
In the rivers and seas, there are also some fish species from Xia Mu's previous life. Because they are not intelligent and do not have special powers, they are not among the Pokémon.
There are also ordinary chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and sheep on land, but nowadays, most of them are raised by the League and farm owners and ranchers, which is the main food source for humans and some Pokémon.
In the end, Xia Mu was too naive before. In his previous life, he saw people arguing online: What do people eat in the Pokémon world if they don't eat Pokémon? Is it all about advanced technology?
There are some really advanced technologies involved, but they're not as outrageous as I thought in my previous life.
"It's already past three o'clock, and I still have two levels to go." Xia Mu had a slight headache.
I was thinking that defeating Magikarp would be enough, but it seems I'll need Riolu's help too.
If this were a real game, you could just carry it around and gain experience points from it.
Even if it's not possible to carry it around to share experience points, at least there should be a learning device that allows for unique experience sharing... But the system shop doesn't have a learning device...
With no other option, Natsuki reached a new consensus with Riolu, setting their sights on other Pokémon.
Fortunately, the Magikarp group disappeared, but there are still many wild Pokémon by the lake.
[Emotion: I'm so happy! (From now on, I'm the strongest Magikarp, no! The strongest Gyarados!)]
……
Although it's not quite the red Gyarados I dreamed of, a slow-moving red Gyarados isn't bad at all.
Anyway, I had already planned to go down the dual-attacking route. If we train them well in the future, they will still be an ace in the deck.
In fact, the Intimidate trait perfectly compensates for the low defense of the Slow-moving personality.
In a sense, this can be considered complementary.
Xia Mu plans to try to change things in her future life, hoping that her personality might change along with her lifestyle.
After all, people's personalities can change, and Pokémon are living beings too.
If it really doesn't work, then he can't force it.
If Red Gyarados wants to go further in the future, then he will consider using Mint.
A dual attacker is actually not bad. At least once the level reaches a certain point, Gyarados will be good in both physical and special attacks.

PS: Thank you for your support with monthly tickets and recommendation votes. Here's another chapter.
Then, the second half of the story in this chapter was revised. Originally, it was planned to change the ability to be unfixed and change arbitrarily with evolution, but after thinking about it, it was decided not to change it. Later, some modifications might be made to the nature, so that it changes with daily life, after all, this is the real Pokémon world, not the game world.
In fact, using items like mint to change personality in games is, in a sense, a form of artificial intervention, because it's impossible to truly cultivate personality in real life within the game; you can only change it using items.
