"Was this Basculin the reason the Pokémon in this lake had fled in all directions...?"
After the Red-Striped Basculin fell unconscious, Mu Yun had Bold make another round through the center of the lake.
The result was that there was not a single Pokémon left.
Clearly, the Red-Striped Basculin was the culprit behind the Poliwag family nearly being wiped out.
But why was there a Basculin out in this wilderness?
And a rare Red-Striped one at that.
Wasn't it said that these things could only be born with an extremely low probability within a large school of White-Striped Basculin?
It was said that regardless of potential, a Red-Striped Basculin sold for at least one million.
That was nearly on par with the price of the Lead Fish during the annual winter catch.
One had to know that there was only one Lead Fish each year during the winter catch. It had publicity value, symbolic meaning, and rarity, which was why it was so expensive.
For a mere Red-Striped Basculin born in an artificial breeding facility to sell for that price, its popularity was obvious.
How had such a treasure ended up in the wild?
Mu Yun frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what it was for the moment.
Following the principle that it was better to torment others than trouble himself, Mu Yun decisively gave up thinking and prepared to ask the Red-Striped Basculin himself.
He was not one of those ordinary Trainers who could not understand Pokémon speech. With Listening to the Voice of All Things, he only needed to wait for the Red-Striped Basculin to wake up and ask it.
As for whether it would refuse to answer?
Pokémon were usually quite obedient after being defeated and caught...
"Shi!!"
