Chapter 592 Conquering the Chou Chou Fish

This beach is very close to the main road and Chenghua City, and it is extremely vast. It can be said to be a natural Pokémon breeding ground.

Because of this, you can see many new trainers everywhere on the beach, constantly digging through the gravel and rocks, trying to find some Pokémon hidden in the depths.

In fact, these people don't have any big requirements. Whether it's giant crabs, agate jellyfish, giant tongue clams or some other Pokémon, they can be happy for a while.

There were even people fighting not far away, comparing their skills.

This is a hunting ground for beginners, and it is also the easiest place for them to obtain wild Pokémon besides forests and grasslands.

Of course, trainers are not the only ones here. You can also occasionally see a family of three or a young couple hanging out here.

The arrival of Xia You and Li Jia, just like a normal couple, did not attract anyone's attention. People's eyes just passed by them, and they sighed that they were really handsome men and beautiful women, and stopped paying attention.

The sea breeze blew for a while, and the water flowed for a while. The two of them felt funny as they watched the fire chicken pacing around, dodging the waves, as if it was afraid that the sea water would wet its feathers.

After standing quietly for a while, Li Jia looked back at him: "You're here now, don't you want to dig through the rocks like those people? Maybe there will be some surprises!"

"How can there be any rare Pokémon in a place like this?"

Shaking his head, Xia You didn't take it seriously, but since he had nothing to do, he actually left the beach and came to the reef area.

Just now, for fear of being disturbed, the two of them couldn't help but stay away from the crowd and stood in a very remote location. Apart from them, there was no one else here. It also happened to be that the sea water was ebbing, and most of the rocks were exposed, which would normally be sunk under the sea. The place is shown.

After stepping on the rocks, Xia You looked at her feet.

Because some places are sunken, after the tide recedes, some places are still covered with seawater, forming small potholes. However, some Pokémon that had no time to retreat remained in these puddles.

Just by walking around like this, he saw many Pokémon.

A wild ink seahorse was hiding between two rocks. When Xia You jumped over its head, it unexpectedly sprayed a ball of ink at him.

Xia You managed to avoid it, frowned, and couldn't help but jump off the rock. In return, he kicked it towards the sea.

Mo Haima spun around in the air for more than ten times, and then fell into the sea with a 'plop'.

Huh, although the action is a bit rough, it is saving its life!

After walking a few steps forward, two tentacles suddenly attacked him. Xia You grabbed the two tentacles and took a closer look. It turned out to be an agate jellyfish sneaking up on him!

Xia You frowned again, and pulled its two tentacles, directly wrapped them around a small stone, and tied a knot!

Let you sneak attack and see what you can do without your tentacles!

Just wait for others to conquer you!

After experiencing these two times, Xia You had no interest in searching anymore. When he saw that he was a little far away from Li Jia, he found a relatively flat place and turned back.

However, after taking only a few steps, I heard a gentle 'pop' sound coming from the side.

There is something stranded in shallow water, trying to save itself!

When encountering this kind of thing, he obviously couldn't ignore it. He changed his way back, bypassed a huge rock, and came to the other side of the rock.

It didn't matter at this glance, I saw a fish Pokémon in a very shallow puddle, mostly out of the water, flapping it with its tail, as if it wanted to return to the sea in this way.

It turns out it was stranded...

However, it is still a certain distance from the sea, and there is a large reef in the middle. Not to mention that it cannot move at all now. Even if it can move, it will be halfway there due to lack of water before it can go back!

Looking at this Pokémon again, I saw that its appearance is no different from ordinary fish, but it is uglier. Its body is earthy yellow and has some pits. Its eyes have a dull expression, and there are even thick... The lips are thick, and even the fins look a bit tattered.

At this time, Lijia also walked around the huge rock and walked over from the side.

She just saw that Xia You had turned back, but she seemed to be attracted by something, so she couldn't help but feel curious, so she came over to take a look at the excitement.

And when she looked at it, she saw this Pokémon that seriously didn't fit her taste.

"What kind of Pokémon is this? Why does it look a little... strange?"

This was also thanks to Li Jia. Her good upbringing allowed her to express her surprise in a tactful way. If it were anyone else, she would probably just say it was ugly!

Xia You smiled and said: "I don't know if you have heard of it before. There is a very magical fish. Before it evolves, it is really ugly, but after it evolves, it will have beautiful scales that will shine when the sun shines." Beautiful Pokémon of different colors appear below!”

"Eh? There is such a Pokémon?" Lijia was a little surprised, then looked down at the fish in the shallow puddle, "Is this the one you are talking about?"

As a trainer, Rika naturally knows a lot about Pokémon, but that is limited to grass-type Pokémon in the Kanto and Johto areas. This is indeed the first time she has encountered a Pokémon like this one in front of her. It's even more unheard of.

Xia You nodded: "It's called the Chou Chou Fish. They can survive even in stinky ditches no matter how muddy they are. Although they look a bit dull and easy to catch, because they look too ugly and tattered, many The trainers don’t like it at all, so few people know how beautiful it is after it evolves!”

While talking, Xia You had already taken out the Pokédex and pointed it at the Ugly Fish.

Pokémon Pokédex: "Dip, Uglyfish, a fish Pokémon, water-type. Uglyfish have a wide habitat and will gather in large numbers in rivers or seabeds with many aquatic plants. Although there are very many, they like to gather in It lives together, has amazing vitality and good swimming speed, eats everything, and is a strong Pokémon that doesn't mind even being in dirty water, so it has become the subject of research by many scholars."

Xia You called up the picture of Menus again and handed the Pokémon illustrated book to Lijia.

"Look, this is what it looks like after evolution. Isn't it beautiful?"

Lijia took it and took a look at it first, and saw that the Pokémon in the illustrated book was indeed very beautiful. Then she lowered her head and looked at the Ugly Fish in front of her. She really couldn't connect it with the Menas in the picture!

"It's incredible..." she exclaimed with emotion, "I didn't expect that the gap between before evolution and after evolution would be so big, you can't even see the original appearance!"

"Yes." Xia You put away the illustrated book, "So most people don't know that Menus actually evolved from the Ugly Fish, and they regard it as an extremely rare Pokémon."

Lijia looked around and saw that there were only ugly fish here, and nodded suddenly.

"The illustrated book says that they all live together in groups, but now there is only one like this here. It seems that it was accidentally left here when the tide went out."

"It should be like this." Xia You pointed around and said, "Look, these rocks are here. Although they are not high, they seem to be a city wall that surrounds the place. When the seawater recedes, the water flow is not very fast. But we still trapped it here until the sea water completely receded and it was exposed to the air."

After saying so much, when Xia You took out another elf ball, Li Jia was surprised and said: "What, you want to conquer it?"

Xia You nodded: "I am also short of water Pokémon around me, and I need to add one. Although the Ugly Fish's ability is very weak, and because of its appearance, it deters many trainers, but as long as it is cultivated more, the evolved Pokémon Not only does Menas have outstanding looks, he is also quite strong.”

Throwing the elf ball towards the ugly fish, Xia You originally thought it was extremely weak when he saw its appearance, and lost the ability to resist. Taking on the red light of the elf ball, he put the ugly fish into the ball and shook it just a moment. , the ugly fish escaped again!

Not believing in evil, he picked up the elf ball and pointed it at the ugly fish again, but just like before, after being put into the ball, only two seconds later, the ugly fish escaped again!

What a tenacious vitality...

Xia You finally understood why some scholars took it as a research object. Even in such a predicament, it still had the strength to struggle!

As expected of a Pokémon that can live in smelly ditches and polluted water sources!

Waving to call the fire chicken on the side, Xia You said to it: "The next step is up to you, knock it out!"

The fire chicken tilted its head, opened its mouth and used sparks at the ugly fish, spraying a ball of flames. However, the flame hit the ugly fish and did not cause any harm to it. Instead, it was caused by the water in the puddle. Water, it went out quickly!

With a helpless sigh, Xia You could only say: "Don't use sparks, come closer and just grab."

After hearing what he said, the Fire Chicken approached the Ugly Fish, raised a claw to grab it, and grabbed two claws in a row before knocking the Ugly Fish unconscious.

Looking at the motionless ugly fish, Xia You threw the elf ball again, and this time, he finally succeeded in conquering it!

Very good, the 20th Pokémon was successfully captured!

With such a harvest, Xia You was satisfied and did not stay here anymore. Instead, he left the beach with Li Jia.

Before entering the beach, he never expected to capture Pokémon, nor did he expect that after arriving in Hoenn, he had already captured two Pokémon in just two days!

It seems that Hoenn is indeed a treasure land. There are really many wild Pokémon. It’s no wonder that the average level of the gym owners and trainers here is better than that of Johto and Kanto!

Returning to the main road, the two walked north and soon came to the entrance of the Orange Flower Forest.

At this time, the sky was getting dark again, and this place was far away from the lost, and there were no houses around. It seemed that we were destined to sleep in the wild tonight.

Unexpectedly, Xia You and Li Jia did not stay, but took advantage of the sky to plunge into the Orange Flower Forest.

They are all sleeping in the wild anyway, what’s the difference between grassland and forest!

Just like the Evergreen Forest in the Kanto region, the Orange Blossom Forest also has lush branches and leaves, making it difficult for light to penetrate between the trees. The entire forest seems a bit dark inside, making it easy for people to get lost.

There are a large number of insect-type Pokémon in both forests, but in addition to insects, the Orange Forest also has some other Pokémon that live in it, and the types of creatures are relatively diverse.

Of course, there are almost the same number of trainers catching Pokémon in the two forests.

After walking through the forest for a while, as the sun set further and further in the west, the entire forest also darkened.

Choosing a flat place near the water source, Xia You and Li Jia stopped and decided to spend the night here.

But just as they set up their tent, they saw a huge snake-patterned bear in the distance approaching their camp in a 'Z'-shaped movement route!

As a small Pokémon, the average snake bear is less than 50 centimeters tall and weighs more than 30 kilograms. But the snake bear in front of you is almost meters tall, almost as tall as a human!

Just when Xia You thought they had encountered some overlord Pokémon, and thought she had intruded into its territory, and was trying to alert her Pokémon, she suddenly saw the snake bear standing on its hind legs, standing like a human. stand up.

Before Xia You could be surprised, he saw the snake-patterned bear with two hands, picking off his head, and actually took off his own head.

Because the sky was already dark, Xia You was dumbfounded by this scene. However, when the snake bear took a few steps forward, Xia You could see clearly that this was not a snake bear. It was clearly a person wearing a snake coat. Big boy!

And what he took off just now was not the snake bear's head, it was just his hood.

"Hey, you two!"

Before Xia You could speak, the big boy shouted to them: "Don't set up camp here, it will affect my plan!!"

Maybe he was angry, but the boy's tone was very rude, which made Xia You's eyes narrow.

"What? This forest belongs to your family?" he said coldly, "We can be wherever we want, and no one can control it."

The boy ran closer and shouted to Xia You: "Do you know that I have been hiding here for most of the day just to get close to the snake bears. When you came, they were all scared away!"

Speaking of which, before setting up camp, Xia You did see a few snake bears in this flat open space. He didn't pay much attention at that time. He just let the fire chicken rush forward, and the snake bears ran away. After entering the forest, now that I think about it, this should be their habitat.

Who would have thought that there would be such an 'alternative' person hiding not far away!

And when he got closer, he realized that the big boy in front of him looked similar to Ash Ketchum. Except for a slightly different hairstyle, he looked exactly like a large replica of Ash Ketchum, and he looked the same. Frizzy!

If he hadn't known that Hanako had only one child, to be honest, he would have thought that this older boy was Xiaozhi's long-lost brother!

"So what?" Xia You glanced at the boy. If this person talked to him properly, he would naturally greet him with a smile, but with his current tone, he naturally didn't feel good about it, "Since he ran away, you can just go after him. That’s it. Doesn’t it mean that you don’t have the ability to subdue them other than disguising themselves as them, sneaking up on them, and catching them with sneak attacks?”
