Two days later, Arcanine evolves!

Chapter 49 Two days later, Arcanine evolves!

time flies.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two days, through Ali's introduction, Xia Mu got to know many elite Pokémon trainers in Ebisu City.

Although none of them are as strong as Xiaotian, and most of their Pokémon are only around level 40, these Pokémon trainers are still formidable in the wild.

After a series of battles, Xia Mu's reputation gradually spread, and he became a household name among trainers.

On one hand, Xia Mu is incredibly strong, winning continuously without a single defeat.

On one hand, Xia Mu became a generous benefactor; anyone with a certain level of strength could earn between 1000 and 10000 Alliance Coins by fighting against Ali through his introduction.

Of course, the price was set by Ali. At the beginning, Xia Mu gave each person 10000 Alliance Coins.

Since the trainers behind him were generally not very strong, Ali discussed with him about giving different battle rewards according to their strength levels.

After careful consideration, Xia Mu agreed. After all, even if he had a lot of money, he couldn't afford to spend 10,000 League Coins on a trainer.

After a series of battles, the four little ones' levels continued to rise, and they all broke through to level 50 or above.

Lucario reached level 55 and not only learned Comet Punch and Dragon Pulse, but also learned Extreme Speed ​​ahead of schedule.

Now, all that's left is close combat!

Once you reach level 60, you can learn the skill by leveling up.

Of course, judging from my recent personal experience, perhaps this trick can be learned in advance.

As for skill learning devices, Xia Mu has no intention of buying them.

Instead of wasting this money, you might as well buy other skills.

The red Gyarados has reached level 51 and has not only learned the only Flying-type move it can learn, Hurricane, but also Brawl and Hyper Beam!

Destroy the light?!

That's right! It's the ultimate move that was translated as "Destruction Beam" in the early days, with a power value of 150 points.

Xia Mu's Red Rage is now fully developed. From now on, when using it to challenge gyms, it won't be able to one-shot anyone, but taking on two opponents at once will be a piece of cake.

Beedrill's level has been raised to 53.

This was because Xia Mu was intentionally creating opportunities for it to fight, allowing it to gain more experience points.

Even with the level increase, Beedrill's strength doesn't improve significantly. Most importantly, there are no more skills that can be learned by leveling up. Natsuki can only teach Beedrill some skills to improve its strength by addressing its weaknesses.

Despite this, there are still too many Pokémon that counter Beedrill, so even though Beedrill has fought the most battles, the level of the Pokémon it can fight is the lowest, so its level is only about 2 levels higher than Red Tyranitar.

It's worth mentioning the friendship level; my friendship level with Beedrill has reached 188 points.

Although he couldn't yet meet the requirements for Mega Evolution, Natsuki was very confident that he could achieve it in the remaining few days.

The intimacy level between Red Tyranitar and Natsuki has increased to 215 points, but Natsuki did not buy him any Mega Stones.

For the time being, there are no plans to allow it to undergo mega evolution.

Lucario goes without saying; he already had 228 points two days ago, and now he has 236 points.

We're only 19 points away from 255.

This is the situation with the three little ones, and naturally, it's Growlithe last one.

After more than ten battles this morning, Growlithe not only reached level 56 and learned Flare Blitz, but also reached level 57 after the last battle.

Having reached the required level and learned all the skills, Xia Mu finally ended his morning's battles and returned home.

Evolve Growlithe!

I've been practicing so hard for so long, giving it my all to level up. Even though it's only been a little over ten days, it feels like an eternity, and I'm making plans every single day.

It's fair to say that raising Growlithe to this level is far more difficult than raising any other Pokémon to this level.

……

In his backyard, Xia Mu purchased a Fire Stone from the system store.

Lucario, Gyarados, and Beedrill were all watching from the sidelines.

Growlithe's emotions were just as excited as Natsuki's.

It had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.

Growlithe couldn't wait to eat the Fire Stone, which made Natsuki worry that it might choke if it ate it directly.

As it turned out, Xia Mu was overthinking things.

As Growlithe swallowed the Fire Stone, its body was suddenly engulfed in intense flames.

The evolution process is completely different from that in the game, and also completely different from ordinary evolution.

I don't know if all Pokémon that need a Fire Stone to evolve are like this.

The intense flames quickly materialized, and Growlithe transformed into a giant fire beast, roaring with its mouth open.

By the time the flames subsided, Growlithe's body had completely transformed into Arcanine's form.

……

"Woof!" (Master, I've finally evolved!)

The Arcanine ran excitedly back and forth in the backyard, its bark, now more majestic and deep, carrying a joyful tone.

Seeing this, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

He didn't stop the Growlithe's actions, but let it release its abundant energy, taking the opportunity to carefully observe the changes.

In terms of data alone, it only gains the skill Extreme Speed, which is a skill that Growlithe will definitely learn after evolving into Arcanine.

As for the rest, Xia Mu will have to experiment with them himself to find out.

A fight is inevitable; only in this way can we better understand Arcanine's strength.

Aside from Beedrill being unsuitable as Arcanine's opponent, Gyarados and Lucario are both viable options. However, considering Gyarados's type and fighting style, Arcanine cannot unleash its full potential, so Natsuki opted to have Lucario battle against it.

This is disadvantageous for Lucario because its Steel type is weak to Fire.

However, Natsuki believed that with Lucario's strength, he might not necessarily lose.

Xia Mu doesn't need to be commanded; she lets them fight on their own.

This also allows Arcanine to develop the ability to make its own judgments, to see if its evolution will cause it to change too much and become unable to control its power.

There are too many Pokémon that change due to evolution in the original anime.
