Chapter 170 First Encounter with Dratini!
Qingyuan's plan was to teleport Shellder to Professor Oak's backyard.
Professor Oak's backyard, let's not talk about anything else.
There were quite a few high-level Pokémon that the trainers had previously teleported back.
If the clams could put aside their pride and humbly ask for advice...
I believe that even if it has inherent shortcomings, it will make sufficient progress.
Then they gradually became stronger.
Moreover, Professor Oak is the most authoritative professor in the Kanto region.
Maybe we can help Qingyuan by making up for the congenital deficiencies of the giant tongue clam.
After all, Ash's small and thin Krabby was also successfully improved with Professor Oak's help.
Finally, he even accompanied Ash to achieve the incredible feat of defeating three opponents in a row at the Indigo League.
He doesn't expect Shellder to reach the level of Ash's Crab.
It would be fine as long as the size of the giant clams is within the average size of their species.
Looking at the pleading face of the giant tongue clam in front of him, Qingyuan told it his idea.
"If you can accept this, I'll subdue you and take a look at your information to create a training plan for you!"
"Then I'll teleport you to Professor Oak's lab, where you can learn from those high-level Pokémon!"
"You can fulfill your desire to become stronger there!"
"If you're lucky, Professor Oak might even be able to cure your congenital deficiency while he's at it!"
"If you can't accept it, then you can stay here. Actually, retiring here is a good option!"
"Come on, make your decision!"
As Qingyuan spoke, he placed the Field Ball in his hand in front of Shelly.
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Big Tongue Shell looked up and met Qingyuan's gaze.
"Waaah! (I'll do anything to become stronger, I don't want to be stuck in this tiny lake!)"
The giant shellfish looked at Qingyuan with unusually firm eyes and said.
Without hesitation, it pressed the button on the field ball.
"Ding dong!"
It could be because the giant tongue clam was too weak, or it could be because the giant tongue clam did not resist.
This time, the field ball immediately emitted a notification sound indicating successful capture.
"I hope you can realize your dreams at Professor Oak's research institute!"
Looking at the Shellder's Poké Ball in his hand, Qingyuan offered his heartfelt blessings to the Shellder.
After saying that, he took out the Pokédex and placed Shellder's Poké Ball on it.
He needed to carefully examine the information about the giant clams and then develop a detailed plan for them.
As its trainer, it's one thing to be unable to address its inherent weaknesses.
However, it also needs to play a certain role in its path to becoming stronger.
This is the meaning of being a trainer!
After a familiar electronic music track, the Pokédex screen quickly displayed information about Shellder.
Pokémon: Shellder
Rating: 12
Developmental comparison: inferior
Attribute: Water
Special ability: Continuous Attack (If using a combo move, it will always unleash the maximum number of attacks.) [This ability only appears once per Pokémon.]
Skills: Tackle, Water Gun, Retract into Shell, Ice Shard
Looking at the information about the giant tongue clam, Qingyuan could hardly bear to look at it.
Along his journey, he has become a spirit capable of reaching this level.
Each elf needs to master five to eight skills.
The skill pool of the four skills of the Giant Tongue Shell reminded Qingyuan of the game in his previous life.
It seems that in the game, each Pokémon can only learn a maximum of four skills.
Shellder can now be considered a standard game pet.
Because Scorpion King and others possess too many skills, they cannot yet be considered standard game pets.
Moreover, the giant tongue clam doesn't even have a single inherited skill.
They were born with physical deficiencies and lacked inherited skills.
If it weren't for Shellder's unwavering determination to become stronger, plus its ability to launch continuous attacks, it wouldn't be so bad.
Qingyuan really wanted it to go back to where it came from.
Qingyuan shook his head and put away Shellder's Pokémon.
All he could do for this Shellder was provide it with Professor Oak's backyard, its platform.
If it performs well and becomes stronger, Qingyuan will have made a huge profit, and will also have a way to deal with Dragon-type Pokémon in the future.
If it doesn't live up to expectations, it'll still be the same pathetic thing.
He wouldn't lose out, since all the expenses were covered by Professor Oak.
Let's just consider it as adding some biodiversity to Professor Oak's backyard.
"As expected, with Professor Oak as my backer, life has become much more carefree."
As Qingyuan pondered this, he began to wander around the lake.
It must be said that although the lake is not large, the scenery is indeed beautiful.
If this weren't a wild, undeveloped area, he would have jumped into the lake for a swim.
Because in his previous life he was drowned.
In this life, Qingyuan has been working even harder to improve his swimming skills.
I'm afraid that something like what happened in my previous life will happen again.
Moreover, he now possesses psychic powers, along with Slowpoke, a Water-type and Psychic-type Pokémon.
Qingyuan is now even less afraid of water.
"Didn't they say there are Dratini in the wilderness area?"
"I've encountered so many protagonists from novels in my past life, why can't I?"
"Is it because I'm not the main character?!"
Qingyuan sat by the lake, looking at the calm surface of the water, and said with a dejected expression.
Seriously, this is so insulting. He's supposed to be a time traveler, after all.
The system is missing, and the cheat codes are missing.
His only extraordinary ability was something he gained after escaping death.
Now he's not even allowed to see the Mini Dragon, which was a must-see for any traveler to the wilderness area in his previous novel.
"This is outrageous, Arceus!"
Qingyuan sighed deeply, then picked up a stone from the lakeside and threw it into the lake.
"Mmm~ (Are you looking for me?)"
Just as Qingyuan was complaining and blaming others, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Qingyuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snake-like spirit with light blue scales all over its body, a bright white belly, a white protruding horn on its forehead, and white fins on both sides of its head, looking at him with a curious expression.
"Mini Dragon?"
Qingyuan said with some doubt.
"Mmm~ (It's me!)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Dratini happily twirled in the air.
"So, am I the legendary protagonist?"
Qingyuan stared blankly at the Mini Dragon in front of him and said.
He saw the Minidragon in the wilderness area, which the protagonist of the novel almost always encounters.
In addition, after escaping death, he awakened a superpower and a special ability that is suspected to be the power of the Tokiwa.
With this kind of treatment, he seems like the main character!
Thinking of this, Qingyuan's face lit up with excitement.
But when he saw Scorpio King beside him, the excitement on his face vanished instantly.
Just kidding, whose main character's Pokémon is a Scorpion King?
The true protagonists are either the sons of wealthy people or start as quasi-gods or divine beasts.
Or you might start as a poor man's son, a weak elf like a unicorn.
Scorpio King's start was neither high nor low, he didn't seem like the protagonist at all.
"If only I had caught a Weedle as my starter Pokémon, I might have even become a main character!"
Looking at the Scorpion King beside him, Qingyuan shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile.
