The Heracross hiding nearby also noticed what was happening, but seeing this bully Heracross knocked down, not one of them came to its aid. It was clear that this Heracross was utterly wicked and in dire straits, with none of its kind willing to help it.
"Your luck with bugs is really bad. You'd better come with me." Seeing this, Gary took out a Poké Ball and threw it to him.
boom!
The Poké Ball hit its target, catching Heracross and successfully capturing it.
Ibrahimovic quickly ran to the tree and continued to lick the sap.
"Is it really that delicious?" This was the first time Xiao Shi had ever seen Eevee so greedy; it wasn't usually like this.
When the surrounding Heracrosses saw that the bully Heracross had disappeared, they all approached.
"You can eat if you want. I'll take the Heracross with me; I won't keep all the sap from this tree to myself anymore," said Shigeru.
Upon hearing this, all the Hercules flew up to the tree and began to suck the sap from the trunk.
"What a bunch of gluttons!"
Xiao Mao never expected these Heracross to be so naive. He had defeated the bully, so didn't they ever consider that Xiao Mao might be even more outrageous than the bully Heracross?
Shigeru ignored it, walked over, picked up the Pokémon, and checked Heracross's stats.
[Elf: Heracross♂ (Shining)]
[Attributes: Insect, Fighting]
【Level: 25】
[Potential: Champion]
【Trait: Overconfidence (If you defeat an opponent, you will be filled with confidence, and your attack power will increase by 1 level...)】
[Skills: Charge, Gaze, Shove, Rampage, Swallow Return, Horn Charge, Double Strike.]
【Intimacy Level: 90 (Maximum 255)】
"Overconfidence...!"
No wonder this Heracross is so dominant; it's because of its overconfidence.
Although Heracross are gentle, that doesn't mean they won't fight each other. This particular Heracross, relying on its overconfidence, increases its physical attack by one level for every Heracross it defeats. It becomes more and more powerful in battle, eventually surpassing all the other Heracross and monopolizing the tree with the richest sap.
The intimacy level is a bit low, but it doesn't matter much. A few magical candies and skill tutorials will be enough to make this Heracross obediently submit.
Having captured Heracross, Gary didn't linger in the Heracross Forest. He released Moltres and quickly headed towards Luna City.
We landed near Jihua City before riding into the area.
After treating Heracross, Gary went to the common area and released Heracross.
Baton!
Heracross looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and glared angrily at Gary, but when he saw Eevee on Gary's shoulder, he immediately suppressed his anger and remained silent.
Seeing Heracross looking like he wanted to punch himself but couldn't win was hilarious.
Xiao Mao suppressed a laugh and said, "Heracles, don't be sad. You're my spirit now. Be good and I can help you get stronger."
Heracross ignored Gary, still fuming. It was originally the little tyrant of the Heracross Forest, pampered with good food and drink every day. Why did it have to follow a trainer around all the time?
"Here, you should like this, right?" Xiao Mao took out the sweet treat he had bought on the way and opened the lid.
"Hera!!"
Hercules' two antennae twitched, and it immediately looked towards Shigeru. When it saw the jar in Shigeru's hand, its mouth watered.
The sap from the Heraklion Forest is delicious, but it's nothing compared to something sweet.
Sweetness, in particular, is fatally tempting to Bug-type Pokémon.
212: Searching for Sneasel
"If you come with me, I'll give you sweet treats every day. It'll be much more comfortable than staying in the forest," Xiao Mao tempted, holding out the sweet treats.
"Hera...!" Heracross suppressed his craving, but having just fought, he was starving. His body unconsciously moved closer to Shigeru, and the closer he got, the more he could smell the sweet aroma.
"Hera!" I don't care anymore, Heracross rushed forward, took the sweet treat from Shigeru's hand, and started sucking it.
Seeing Heracross submit so quickly, Gary laughed and said, "Don't worry, no one's going to take it from you. I still have some left."
Xiao Mao then took out a large bottle of sweet treats, which immediately excited Heracross, raising their intimacy level to 105.
Only after Heracross finished eating the small and large bottles of sweet treats did Gary take out the Soothing Bell and let Heracross put it into his storage space.
Heracross, out of consideration for Sweetie, didn't refuse and obediently put the Soothing Bell into his portable space.
Once the Soothing Bell is placed in the storage space, Heracross will never escape Gary's grasp again.
28. Xiao Mao reached out and placed his hand on Heracross's shell, using 5 low-level magical candies to directly raise Heracross's level to 30.
Heracross: (O_o)??
Heracross immediately sensed the change in power, and the entire insectoid race was stunned.
Xiao Mao smiled and, instead of continuing to level up Heracross, began to teach him skills, explaining each skill once.
Heracross has mastered four skills: Dig, Rock Slash, Sleep, and Hyper Beam. His affinity with her is skyrocketing.
"He can't even learn the Burst Fist? That shouldn't be the case..." Shigeru was speechless as he watched Heracross unable to learn the Burst Fist.
The move Explosive Punch is very overpowered. Only Pokémon from the first three generations had the opportunity to master it. Pokémon from later generations could only awaken it on their own; they couldn't learn it by simply studying it.
Heracross also possesses fighting attributes, so he should be able to master it, but he just couldn't, which made Shigeru a little frustrated.
"Heracro!!"
Hercules was stunned. It couldn't accept that it had awakened four skills at once, feeling as if it were living in a dream.
"come in."
Gary captured Heracross in a Poké Ball, bought some berries from the shop, and started making some Power Cubes for Heracross.
Xiao Mao also plans to stay in Jihua City for a few more days, because there is a cold area outside Jihua City, with even snow-capped mountains, where Ice-type Pokémon live.
Xiao Mao received a top-quality Sharp Claw as a system reward, and he really wanted to use it to evolve Sneasel to see if he could tame a Sneasel that suited his taste.
the next day.
Shigeru arrived outside Yoshihide City, released Articuno, and flew for about ten minutes before reaching the vicinity of the snow mountain.
Xiao Mao meticulously searched the vicinity of the snow-capped mountain, looking for any trace of the Niula people.
Slugs live in very cold places and are cunning and fierce. They are very intelligent and hunt under the cover of night in packs. They usually like to eat the eggs of young birds.
Furthermore, the Sneasels communicate with each other, carving various patterns on the surfaces of trees and ice to convey signals to their companions. Research indicates that there are 500 different patterns used by the Sneasels to communicate with each other.
Humans can transmit information using a thousand characters, while the Sylvanas can invent 500 different symbols, which is almost equivalent to writing.
"Found it! Sure enough, there are Sneasels living here." Shigeru quickly spotted a mark left by a Sneasel on a tree. It was clearly left with a claw, and it was a feather-like shape.
"feather?"
Xiao Mao peeked out from under his nose and looked around. He soon spotted a nightjar in a tree.
【LV28 Night Hawk♀/Elite】
The night owl was nestled in its nest, resting during the day, and showed no signs of activity.
"Could there be eggs in the nest?"
Xiao Mao looked at the night owl, then at the markings on the tree; they must indicate that there were bird eggs there.
"It seems necessary to stay here for the night." Xiao Mao looked at the snow-white earth with a helpless expression.
Unfortunately, Sneasel are nocturnal creatures that hunt at night. During the day, they hide in caves to rest and conceal their entrances, making them very difficult to find.
Deciding to wait here for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, Xiao Mao specially made several bird nests to lure the Sneasel into the trap. He put the eggs he bought from the department store inside and also prepared some berries that ice-type Pokémon like to eat. He was sure that the Sneasel wouldn't be fooled.
Afterwards, Xiao Mao set up a makeshift tent nearby and waited for night to fall...!
Night falls.
In the wild forest, darkness falls exceptionally quickly. Before 6 o'clock, the entire forest was plunged into darkness. Shigeru and Ibu hid in the tent. Shigeru used the night vision goggles developed by Silver Corporation to observe the situation outside.
This night vision device is very advanced; it can not only see things clearly at night, but also spot ghost-type Pokémon that have gone invisible.
When Gary passed through Saffron City, he bought it at the Silver Company's department store. He originally intended to use it to catch Ghost-type Pokémon, but he hadn't found a Ghost-type Pokémon that he liked, so he kept it in his bag. Unexpectedly, he ended up using it this time to catch Sneasel.
373
Shigeru and Ibu waited patiently for two hours without any movement, but then at 8 o'clock, the moon appeared.
The bright moonlight shone on the snow-white earth, and the refraction of the ice crystals made the night somewhat bright.
In the quiet night, a "rustling!" sound suddenly rang out, alerting both Shigeru and Eevee. The sound was clearly the sound of footsteps crunching in the snow, but because the person was very light, the sound wasn't very loud.
Soon, several short, dark figures appeared in the woods ahead. The owner of these figures was none other than Gary's target Pokémon, Sneasel.
Gary immediately checked Sneasel's potential. If its potential was not good, then it would not be worth catching. Gary's requirements were not high; he only needed the potential to become a near-Elite Four member to catch it.
【LV30 Sneasel♂/Gym】
【LV25 Sneasel♂/Elite】
【LV27 Sneasel♂/Elite】
【LV32 Sneasel♂/Gym】
【LV35 Nioula♂/King】
There were a total of 5 Sneasels. The Sneasel with the potential to become an Elite Four member was significantly stronger than the other 4 Sneasels, and it was also clearly the leader of this small group.
Xiao Mao felt his luck had turned around. It was as if the Chengdu region was tailor-made for him, as he caught two Pokémon in a row, both with considerable potential.
213: Sneasel with the Potential to Become a King
"accustomed to?"
The leader of the Niulas looked at the markings on the tree and began to have some doubts. According to the markings, there should only be one bird's nest here, so how come there are so many more nests in the tree?
The key issue is that the Nightjar is also gone, because the Nightjar, like the Sneasel, is a nocturnal creature.
Although Sneasel has a type advantage over Noctowl, it's still best to avoid conflict with Noctowl, since injuries sustained in the wild can go untreated and could easily lead to infection and death.
