Meanwhile, everyone in the livestream burst out laughing at the Magikarp before them.
["Useless fish," my ass. You know what, that actually fits Magikarp pretty well.]
[Streamer, pick this one! It looks so fun. Please!]
[Exactly, streamer. What's the fun in an easy-mode crutch like Lucario? Sacrifice a little of your character's stats for the entertainment value. Everyone will enjoy watching.]
[I can't. Are you sure that's only sacrificing a little? All its stats are one. That's ten times lower than the useless guy!]
For a moment, half the chat was urging Iono to pick Magikarp. Her face darkened, and she decisively skipped it.
Are you kidding? Since this game has real-time combat, how am I supposed to play if I pick Magikarp?
Am I supposed to leap up and slap people in the face with my tail??
I've never played this kind of game before. Even if Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados, I wouldn't dare pick it...
But then again, with so many characters, which one should I choose?
As she pondered and kept flipping through the character selection screen, another figure caught her eye. This one was much more familiar and endearing-it was Bellibolt!
[Pokémon: Bellibolt] [Starting level: 1] [Type: Electric] [Ability: Static-when making close contact with an opponent, has a 5% chance of inflicting Paralysis, causing their next attack within three seconds to fail.] [Description: Stores powerful electricity within its body. Has a sturdy body and excellent combat capabilities, but lacks agility.] [Stats: Vigor 16, mind 10, endurance 16, strength 8, dexterity 3, intelligence 3, faith 3, arcane 4] [Starting sorceries/incantations] [Thunder Shock-after charging for three seconds, releases lightning to attack the opponent.]
Iono's eyes lit up. Who would have thought Bellibolt would get so much screen time?
She could even find it here!
