Chapter 293 Goodbye, Big Tongue Shell!
Chapter 293 Goodbye, Giant Tongue Clam!
"Roar!"
Just as Professor Oak was racking his brains, unable to recall where Shellder and the others were...
The Dragonite, which hadn't seen Hakkarosaurus all night, arrived at the lake.
"Hoohoo? (What are you doing here?)"
Seeing Qingyuan and the others gathered by the lake, Dragonite paused its journey to see Dragonair, landed, and asked Professor Oak.
Of course, it actually wanted to show off in front of Qingyuan.
After all, Qingyuan is Dragonair's trainer, so what if he performs well in front of Qingyuan?
If Qingyuan puts a good word for it with Hakron, this might just work out.
"It's a Dragonite!"
"Dragonite, do you remember where those two Shellders that came with Dragonair and the others last time are?"
Upon seeing Dragonite, Professor Oak reacted as if he had seen a savior, grabbing Dragonite's arm and asking questions.
Upon hearing this, Dragonite immediately adopted a thoughtful expression.
Because of the Hakkarosaurus, it seemed to still have some recollection of its two small shells.
Especially that little seashell that was born with developmental defects.
That little seashell only wanted to become stronger; it was incredibly determined.
However, Professor Oak wasn't interested in the little seashell and seemed to be thinking of making clam chowder and eating it.
He later forgot about it because he was doing experiments.
Because it admired the little seashell's desire to become stronger, it recommended it to go to the snow mountain.
They should be learning from those ice-type spirits at the foot of the snow-capped mountains right now.
The larger one should be with the smaller seashell at this moment.
"Roar~ (I know, they should be studying on the snowy mountain right now!)"
After a brief moment of thought, Dragonite nodded to Professor Oak and pointed in the direction of the snow-capped mountains, calling out.
"So they were in the snow-capped mountains! That explains why I couldn't find them!"
Seeing Dragonite's actions, Professor Oak instantly understood what Dragonite meant, drawing on his decades of experience together.
"Go and bring them here; their trainers are looking for them!"
After finding out where Shellder was, Professor Oak patted Dragonite on the shoulder and said solemnly.
"Roar! (No, that place isn't friendly to me!)"
Upon hearing Professor Oak's words, Dragonite immediately shook its head and refused.
Those ice-type spirits would light up with excitement every time they saw it, eager to try it out.
I wish I could defeat it on the spot and earn the title of dragon slayer.
Although it could easily subdue those guys with one hand, their gaze was really making it uncomfortable.
Therefore, it usually avoids going to the snow-capped mountains.
"Go quickly, this is important!"
Seeing Dragonite's expression, Professor Oak immediately urged it on seriously.
"Roar~"
Hearing this, the Dragonite, unable to resist Professor Oak's insistence, let out a wronged cry and finally flew towards the snow mountain.
Are those two giant tuna clam shells very diligent?
Qingyuan, who had been listening to Professor Oak's conversation with Dragonite, frowned as he watched Dragonite's departing figure and asked Professor Oak a question.
"I don't know, you can ask Dragonite when it gets back!"
"It knows far more about what's going on in the yard than I do!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Professor Oak shook his head at him and said...
"That's it!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan lowered his head and began to ponder.
The small, underdeveloped clam was fine.
After all, when he first caught it, that little giant tongue clam had shown amazing perseverance.
It has always known what it wants: to become stronger, and it will do anything to become stronger.
Moreover, he didn't initially intend to use that small Shellder to help Slowpoke evolve.
He was also worried that the small Shellder would lower Slowpoke's potential.
But the large tongue clam was different.
It is a Pokémon that Qingyuan specially chose for Slowpoke to undergo fusion evolution.
Although its talent isn't top-tier, it's certainly not bad, so Qingyuan doesn't need to worry about it lowering Slowpoke's aptitude.
However, if it experiences the joy of becoming stronger during this time and is unwilling to fuse and evolve with Slowpoke, then...
Now Qingyuan is in a very difficult situation.
It's not about respecting elves. Qingyuan is a guy who treats elves as commodities to be bought and sold. How much respect could he possibly have for elves?
His main concern was that Shellder might not be willing to fuse and evolve with Slowpoke.
This can cause problems with Slowpoke's evolution.
Although Qingyuan possesses memories of his past life, he knows that Slowpoke can evolve into Slowking by having Shellder bite its head while it wears a King Bar. (Here, I've changed it to Slowking; Hippowdon feels a bit unfamiliar to me, and I'll try to correct the previous text as well!)
But ultimately, this is a real world.
This world developed this method of evolution much earlier than the anime in Qingyuan's memories.
However, there are very few examples of such evolution, and there is a lack of substantial data to support it.
This means that Qingyuan doesn't know what would happen if Shellder resisted evolution.
Will the process of Slowpoke evolving into Slowking still be able to proceed smoothly?
Moreover, the cost of such a failure is severe; a King's Token can fetch at least a million at auction.
If each failure results in the loss of a King's Token, Qingyuan's entire fortune wouldn't be enough to cover several of Slowpoke's failures.
So if you can succeed on the first try, then it's best to succeed on the first try.
When the giant clam arrives, he will first ask for its opinion.
It's better to keep delaying the evolution process than for it to fail.
After all, Qingyuan didn't know if the failed evolution would affect the Pokémon's potential.
If the evolution fails, it will affect Slowpoke's potential.
Then Qingyuan would have nowhere to cry.
After all, Slowpoke's potential in his team was already relatively low.
If it were to decrease any further, Qingyuan wouldn't even dare to think about it.
"Roar~"
Just as Qingyuan was deep in thought, Dragonite also returned to the lakeside carrying two seashells.
"Roar! (I'm back!)"
After greeting Professor Oak, Dragonite slowly landed, still emanating a chill from its body.
"Wow! (Long time no see!)"
"Wow! (Long time no see!)"
Upon seeing Qingyuan's appearance, the two Shellders jumped off Dragonite's hands and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Shellder. How have you been with Professor Oak?"
Seeing this, Qingyuan greeted the giant tongue shellfish with a smile.
Regardless of whether the giant clams' intentions have changed, it's never a bad thing to maintain a good relationship with them.
Anyway, they're all my Pokémon. They can't evolve into Slowpoke, but they can still be Qingyuan's Pokémon.
Maybe he can actually cultivate a Dragon Slayer Shell!
