Combusken had broken through to lv.20.
Now, Frogadier's level had fallen slightly behind Trapinch's.
But it was fine. It would catch up soon enough.
Su Yi turned his gaze toward the Shiny Mareep among the Mareep flock.
At that moment, outside Thundercloud Mountain, several trainee trainers from the Murong Family who had been assigned to spar with Murong Qianjin hurried over.
They had just received Murong Qianjin's distress signal.
After arriving, they saw Murong Qianjin's condition, then spotted Ampharos lying on the ground in the distance, as well as Trapinch and Combusken facing it. The five of them were filled with shock and terror.
My god, weren't you way too monstrous?
You took down an Ampharos that was at least lv.30?
Wait...
The five of them seemed to have noticed something incredible.
What was with the way their young miss looked at this big shot?
"Young Miss, are you alright..."
"Leave this place first. It's too dangerous..."
In the end, Murong Qianjin was carried away by the five of them as they frantically ran toward the nearest Pokémon Center.
Whether she could even be saved was still a question. Even if she survived, she would be disfigured for life. For the rest of her life, she would never dare do anything to hurt Pokémon again!
This was what it truly looked like when Pokémon attacked humans in reality!
They did not dare imagine what the Murong Family's reaction would be when they saw Murong Qianjin reduced to such a state...
"..."
"Ugh..."
Ampharos recovered its consciousness after losing its ability to battle.
As a lv.30 Pokémon, it recovered quickly.
Su Yi had not intended to catch this Ampharos.
It only had Green Qualification, and if he caught it, these Mareep and Flaaffy would be left without a leader.
He did not lack an Ampharos with Green Qualification. By the time his trial ended, his own Pokémon would probably be close to lv.30 anyway.
The higher the level, the harder it became to improve.
Ampharos looked at Su Yi with anger in its eyes.
The misunderstanding still remained.
"Can't be helped."
Su Yi shrugged and patted the Master Ball in his pocket.
Groudon inside the Master Ball could sense the situation outside at any time.
It released a trace of its aura, which Ampharos sensed.
Ampharos immediately began trembling all over.
Its eyes filled with fear.
"Ampharos, I'm not with that person from before. You misunderstood. I would never deliberately hurt Pokémon like that, and I certainly didn't hurt your child. Look, I even have a Legendary Pokémon as my partner."
After hearing Su Yi's words, Ampharos gradually calmed down. After thinking it over carefully, it realized Su Yi truly had no reason to do such a thing.
It had misunderstood this trainer.
Besides, the damage around them seemed to have been caused by Grass Type Pokémon moves, while Su Yi did not have any Grass Type Pokémon.
After quite some time, Ampharos suddenly brought over its child—the Shiny Mareep.
Blue skin, with pinkish-white wool.
Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, it wanted its child to follow Su Yi.
The aura of Groudon it had sensed earlier was no illusion.
"Woo-ho-ho..."
Ampharos was not stupid.
On the contrary, it was very intelligent.
It hoped its child could stand in a higher place.
The aura it had sensed earlier made it understand that this human trainer was definitely no ordinary person.
It would never allow its child to follow a mediocre trainer, yet now, it had personally brought its child over.
Su Yi stared at Ampharos in astonishment.
Then he understood.
Any Shiny Pokémon was so precious that once discovered, the Pokémon League would take it away.
Being taken away by the Pokémon League was still better than being captured by poachers.
And Ampharos had already surpassed Lv. 30, so it would soon be taken away as well.
Who knew where its child would be taken afterward.
Rather than that, it was better to let its child follow Su Yi.
Having understood this, Su Yi nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll raise it well. Mareep, come with me."
With its mother actively helping, the Mareep looked at Su Yi curiously.
Su Yi took out an Advanced Pokeball and crouched down.
"Mareep, don't worry. Frogadier, Combusken, and Trapinch will all be your companions from now on. We'll train together and grow stronger together. You can do it too."
"Meeeh~~"
Shiny Mareep nodded, while Frogadier, Combusken, and Trapinch all greeted it.
The Advanced Pokeball lightly touched Mareep and drew it inside.
It did not resist at all and was directly captured by Su Yi's Advanced Pokeball.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully capturing Shiny Mareep. Hidden reward activated: Skill Awakening Card: Thunderbolt! ]
The ways of the world were unpredictable. Earlier, Ampharos had feared that its child would be captured, yet now it had voluntarily allowed Su Yi to capture it.
Su Yi had captured the Shiny Mareep.
He left Ampharos a Recovery Potion to help it recover.
Murong Qianjin's storyline had actually been arranged long ago. In the original setting, she was a blonde beauty with masochistic tendencies...
But it seemed that because of my description, everyone ended up hating her too much, so I changed her role.
Yet many people were still saying in the comments that they would stop reading.
So now, I don't know whether anyone still wants to keep reading this book.
I really don't want to drop this book, nor do I want it to go unfinished. I've prepared plenty of good plots for later, and I won't make mistakes like Murong Qianjin's again.
Today's numbers: recommendation votes increased by 500, monthly votes increased by 11, and flowers increased by 6,000.
If, on the 15th tomorrow, all the data can still increase by this much, that will prove that people still want to keep reading, and I'll continue writing it...
After capturing Ampharos's child, Shiny Mareep, Su Yi pondered for a moment as he looked at the strange celestial phenomenon deep within Thundercloud Mountain.
He turned his gaze toward Ampharos.
Ampharos had already taken the Recovery Potion he gave it, and its stamina and injuries were rapidly recovering.
"Ampharos, do you know what's causing the strange phenomenon above Thundercloud Mountain? And where did the injuries on your body come from before? Can you tell me?"
As Su Yi spoke, his eyes remained constantly alert to the surroundings.
Not only had the phenomenon in the sky failed to disperse, it had grown even denser. Yet there was no sign of a legendary Pokémon.
"Wuu, wooh..."
Ampharos understood what Su Yi meant. It began gesturing with both hands while picking up a stone.
A current of electricity passed through the stone.
Su Yi himself did not know why, but he seemed to find Pokémon speech very easy to understand.
Before long, he roughly understood what had happened.
It turned out there was no legendary Pokémon here. Instead, there was an enormous Electromagnet Stone. An Electromagnet Stone was a strange kind of rock filled with electromagnetic power. Because this one was so massive, its magnetic pull had directly drawn down the thunderclouds in the sky.
Creating the illusion of this strange celestial phenomenon.
Su Yi pursed his lips. Thinking about it, that made sense.
If there really were a legendary Pokémon, how could the Pokémon League have remained silent?
The League could not possibly allow a legendary Pokémon to appear at the trial grounds for college entrance exam trainers.
And a legendary Pokémon should not have appeared in the outer region of Spirit Primal Forest either.
As for Ampharos's injuries, they had been caused by a territorial dispute.
Wild Pokémon fighting over territory was the most normal thing in the world.
Having figured that out, he prepared to leave Thundercloud Mountain.
Just then, a roar came from even deeper within Thundercloud Mountain.
Su Yi, ranked first in the history of the Knowledge Ranking, immediately realized that it did not belong to an ordinary Pokémon!
Su Yi instantly decided to go take a look.
So he bid Ampharos farewell and headed deeper into Thundercloud Mountain.
Deep within Thundercloud Mountain.
Because of the massive Electromagnet Stone buried underground.
Many Electric Spirits had been drawn to the deepest part of Thundercloud Mountain.
But when Su Yi ventured farther in, he found that every Electric Spirit here was unusually quiet.
Quiet to an absurd degree.
Inside his pocket, Groudon in the Master Ball suddenly stirred. This was the signal Su Yi and Groudon had agreed on—Groudon would alert him if anything unusual happened.
If he was right, a Legendary Pokémon had truly arrived here!
Legendary Pokémon possessed an innate superior's pressure over ordinary Pokémon.
Earlier, Ampharos had trembled uncontrollably after sensing only the faintest trace of Groudon's aura. That was precisely why.
Su Yi took a deep breath. With Groudon here, his safety was assured. He would go take a look!
Very soon, after passing through a stretch of forest, he arrived at a Stone Forest.
