Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 57: Sword of Decay? New Pokémon Joins the Team! (5k)

Looking at the sword that suddenly appeared in front of her, Shirona couldn't help but be stunned.

The sword looked ordinary in appearance, even rotten, as if it would fall into pieces or even break in the middle if it was swung.

Why would such a sword appear in the list of items that can be exchanged for volcanic ash points?
After discovering this sword, the live broadcast room started a discussion in the comments.

"No, what does this uncle mean? Do we have to stuff this kind of junk in here?"

[Don't underestimate the junk collectors, you bastard. They might not be willing to accept a sword covered in rust like this.]

[That's true..]

[Why does this feel a bit off? According to the game's creator, this sword shouldn't be an ordinary thing...]

While the barrage of comments was in full swing, Shirona's gaze fell on the sword. For some reason, she had a feeling that the sword was attracting her and urging her to connect with it.

This can almost be regarded as a talent of Shirona. Whenever this feeling appears, it only proves one thing, that is, the thing in front of her must have gone through a long time, come from a very distant era, and carry secrets that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

She had a vague feeling about this when she explored the ancient altars and ruins.

But at this moment, when she looked at the sword, the feeling in her heart was inexplicably strong for some reason, unprecedented!

With this thought in mind, Sirona made a choice without hesitation, pressed the interaction button to the uncle next to her, and asked.

"If I want to exchange it for that sword, how much volcanic ash do I need?"

The uncle was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly a red exclamation mark appeared above his head. He turned around and rummaged through the cabinet beside him to find a broken sword and put it on the table.

"You mean this? I actually found this on the side of the road when I went out earlier. It's not worth much."

"I originally planned to melt it down as scrap metal and reuse it, but I found that this thing wouldn't melt no matter how hard I tried, so I just put it here."

"If you're interested, just give me the rest of the volcanic ash and take it."

"Well? If you don't want to exchange it, I'll sell it to a collector in town. He should be quite interested in this kind of steel that even fire can't burn. It can fetch a lot of money."

Hearing this, Shirona chose to confirm without hesitation and consumed all her volcanic ash points.

To be honest, she couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that she had just used the volcanic ash points to buy other things.

Otherwise, judging from the current situation, there is no way to exchange this sword for leftovers and those whistles.

At this moment, a line of prompts appeared in front of Sirona.

[Item: Sword of Decay has been placed in your backpack.]

She opened her backpack and checked the sword. She looked at the blade carefully, but still found nothing, as if it was just an ordinary sword.

However, that strong feeling still lingered in her heart and did not dissipate for a long time!

A line of prop prompts popped up.

[Introduction: A very ancient sword. Perhaps after restoration, it can unleash incredible power and effects?]

Her eyes suddenly fixed.

As expected! This sword is no ordinary thing.

Then according to the prompts, you need to repair this sword so that it can exert its original effect.

But...how to fix it?
Sirona shook her head slightly.

I'm afraid I'll just have to wait and see.

——With the current progress of the game, she really couldn’t think of any place where she could repair the sword.

With this thought in mind, Shirona controlled the character to thank the volcanic ash uncle, then turned and left the hut.

However, just as she walked out of the door, she met a familiar figure. It was the child who had hidden in the volcanic ash and "ambushed" her before.

When Shirona came out, a red exclamation mark suddenly appeared above her head.

"Sister, did you change that sword? Can you show it to me?"

Two choices popped up in front of Sirona.

--whether

She thought about it and finally chose yes.

On the screen, her character took out the Sword of Decay and placed it in front of the child. The child came forward, stroked the sword up and down, looked at it carefully for a while, and then spoke again.

"Thank you, sis! But this sword doesn't look that great. And that uncle said it couldn't be burned by fire. He must be lying."

"By the way, sister, if you buy this sword, you might consider selling it to a big brother named Zhenghui in the next town. He seems to like collecting ancient objects."

"But if you want to get along with him, you'd better be careful. That big brother just hangs out with some broken rocks every day. He said he was a fossil. He would suddenly laugh when he walked. It's scary!"

In the child's series of words, Sirona accurately captured two key points.

fossil?

Zhenghui?

In the real world, she had never heard of such a person.

But if he has something to do with fossils.

Could it be that.?
A thought suddenly arose in Sirona's mind.

She immediately asked the child.

"Little friend, do you know where this person named Zhenghui is?"

The child thought for a moment and replied:

"He seems to live in the house on the far left of Qiuye Town. But he's usually not at home. He usually hangs around Meteor Falls. I don't know what he's doing."

"Dad said he was a Frankenstein and told me to stay away from him..."

"Unlike you, my sister, who looks so pretty, you can tell at first glance that you are a good person!"

Hearing the child's answer, Sirona couldn't help but smile slightly. She used the interactive button, squatted down and touched the other's head.

"Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome. It's you who discovered my invisibility! Next time I come, I will definitely practice my invisibility even better!"

After the child finished speaking, he turned and ran away, disappearing into the pile of volcanic ash.

Shirona fell into deep thought. According to her experience, the red exclamation mark that just appeared above the other person's head should mean that the character's next words and actions will be quite important.

Therefore, these clues given to me by the other party should all be true.

In that case, let’s go to Qiuye Town to see what the situation is.

With this thought in mind, Shirona put away the Sword of Decay and continued to move to the left.

Five minutes later, after defeating several NPCs who blocked her way, Shirona successfully arrived at Qiuye Town, which seemed to be a small town located at the foot of the mountain.

There are many maple trees planted around. Now it is autumn, and the golden maple leaves are flying all over the sky, which has a special beauty.

As usual, Shirona walked around the town first, and actually picked up two items in a row in a huge sand pit in the lower right corner.

[Congratulations, you found a prop "Golden Bead"]

[Congratulations, you found an item "Flame Orb"]

There is no doubt that the gold beads are used to sell for money, and the effect of the fire orb is that when a non-fire Pokémon carries it, it will inflict the abnormal state of "burning" on itself.

In the eyes of ordinary people, no one would use such a prop with purely side effects.

However, after experiencing the previous gym battle, the audience in the live broadcast room had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards this prop.

[The Divine Pearl is here! Sister Na, how about making a Pokémon with the Perseverance trait? I want to see it empty its health bar with one punch, too!]

"Sorry, Brother Zhu, I was speaking too loudly earlier." Cynthia looked at the prop, frowned slightly, and began to ponder.

Having a Pokémon with the "Perseverance" trait carry this item can indeed produce a very powerful effect.

The problem is that most Pokémon with this characteristic are Fighting-type, and I haven't seen any along the way.

More importantly, my plan is to build a weather team with rain as the core.
Fighting-type Pokémon probably wouldn't be able to fit in, right?

Are there any Pokémon with both Water and Fighting attributes?
After thinking carefully for a while, Shirona found that there seemed to be no such Pokémon in her memory, so she could only shake her head slightly.

Forget it, I'll just take this fire orb for now. If I can use it later, that would be great.

Even if we take a step back, this flame orb should be able to be sold for a considerable amount of money in the store, so I'll make a profit anyway.

After searching for props nearby, Shirona exchanged all the scattered valuable props for gold coins in the store, and her savings have successfully exceeded the 5 mark.

After entering the Pokémon Center to restore the team's condition, she continued to the left and soon found a dilapidated cabin.

There is a sign in front of the wooden house with a few words written on it.

【Zhenghui's Research Institute】

But no matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a research institute.
Instead, it looks like a small house filled with various miscellaneous items.

Shirona controlled the character and went forward to knock on the door, but found a line of prompts popped up.

The door is locked, and it seems no one is home.

Sure enough, just as the child said, Zhenghui spends most of the day outside.

Fortunately, the other party also gave him specific information - Zhenghui's activity location is near Meteor Falls.

And Meteor Falls happened to be the destination of his trip.

Thinking of this, Sirona couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Such a coincidence, could it be that the lava ball incident is related to Zhenghui?
She looked at the map and saw that Meteor Falls was directly south of her, so she left Qiuye Town and continued on her way.

As a result, when she reached a suspension bridge, a familiar figure suddenly walked up and blocked her way!
——He was a middle-aged man wearing a red hat and carrying a fishing rod.
No matter how you look at this guy, he looks exactly like the uncle from Wudou Town before, as if he was cloned.

At this moment, the fishing uncle looked Sirona up and down and spoke excitedly:

"Hey, girl, I see you seem to be carrying a fishing rod? It seems you like fishing very much."

After saying that, without waiting for Shirona to answer, he took out a new fishing rod and handed it to her.

"Here, the one you brought is outdated. This one is for you."

[Congratulations, you got the item—a good fishing rod!]

[Introduction: This rod is more powerful than a regular fishing rod and can catch rarer and more powerful Water Pokémon.]

"Well, don't thank me. I wish you a good catch and never go home empty-handed!"

The fishing uncle made a gesture to Shirona, turned around and ran away.

Only Shirona was left standing there looking at the fishing rod in her hand with a complicated expression.

Are all you fishermen so enthusiastic?
When did I say I like fishing?

Recalling the scene of her first fishing after getting a fishing rod, Shirona couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

But then she thought again, it should be just a low-probability event, and it would not happen continuously, right?
What's more, since I want to build a team for rainy days, water-type Pokémon is exactly what I need.

Now, it seems that the easiest way to get water-type Pokémon in this game is to "fish".

So she picked up the new fishing rod she had just acquired, walked to the bridge, and cast her line directly into the water.

After a few seconds, the fishing rod began to shake violently!
According to experience, Shirona immediately pressed the interaction button and reeled in her fishing rod!

The next moment, a huge blue shadow suddenly rushed out of the water with a roar!
[You encountered Gyarados (lv45)! ]

Sirona: ???

No, again? ?

——Is this a fishing rod or a dragon fishing rod?
Although the level 45 Gyarados is powerful, this level is far beyond the level limit that Shirona can currently capture.

So Shirona chose to escape without hesitation. Her team was most afraid of flying-type Pokémon. If they were not careful when dealing with the Gyarados in front of them, they would probably be wiped out. What's more, there would be no benefit in winning, so it was better to escape.

When she escaped twice in a row and finally managed to escape from the battle, laughter and joy rang out again in the live broadcast room.

[Le, I guess Nana-san won't want to go fishing anymore now.]

[Host: Holy shit, Gyarados is still chasing me!]

Is this author a human? How can you catch a Gyarados with a fishing rod? Why don't you just try to catch a Legendary Pokémon?

[Hhh, if a legendary Pokémon could be caught with a fishing rod, I would just eat it ().]

[That guy in front is trying to cheat you out of food and drinks again. If someone really gets caught, you'll be unhappy again.]

Shirona also sighed slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she simply packed up her fishing rod and left.

To be honest, although I always catch a Gyarados every time I go fishing, it's really frustrating.

But this might actually be a good thing - as a Water and Flying-type Pokémon, Gyarados can actually be a very powerful force in the team. Once its level cap is raised, you can consistently catch one by fishing!
Of course, the premise is that the next time I go fishing, I catch another Gyarados, and it's still level 45...
While Shirona was thinking, she had already walked down the bridge and bumped into a Pokémon in the grass by the river. The game immediately entered the battle interface.

[The wild long-winged gull (lv23) has emerged! ]

Looking at this Pokémon that suddenly appeared, Sirona's eyes lit up.

Isn't this exactly what I want to conquer?
Moreover, the level of 23 is not low. After taming it, you only need to upgrade a few more levels to immediately catch up with the level of the main force, and even evolve into a toucan.

With this thought in mind, Shirona directly sent out Lotte Kappa, who came up with a two-piece set of skills including a high-five surprise attack and a shaking dance.

In the previous game tutorial, she had learned that putting wild Pokémon into abnormal states would increase the probability of capturing Pokémon.

Next, Shirona changed into the Forest Lizard and carefully used low-power grass-attribute skills to reduce the health bar of the long-winged gull to red blood, and then threw out the unused super ball she had picked up from the roadside.

The dark blue sphere drew a beautiful trajectory in the air and accurately hit the long-winged gull. It turned into a red light and was absorbed into it.

Amidst the tense music, the super ball shook three times and then stopped moving, indicating a successful capture with a click sound, accompanied by cheerful music.

[Congratulations! You've successfully captured the Long-winged Gull!]

[New Pokémon information has been recorded in the Pokédex! ]

Shirona also immediately opened the team interface and checked the information of the long-winged gull.

[Pokémon: Longwing] [Gender:]

[Attribute: Water/Flying]

【Personality: Conservative】

[Feature: Wet Body (Under rainy weather, abnormal status will be cured every round)]

[Mastered skills: Water Gun, Shout, Wing Attack, Water Wave]

Shirona's eyes fell on the line about characteristics, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

A moist body?

As far as I can remember, Pokémon like Longwing do have this characteristic.

But there is a problem, once the long-winged gulls evolved into large-billed gulls, this trait seemed to disappear.
Pokémon researchers speculate that Ooal Gulch may have acquired other characteristics after evolution.

This situation is not uncommon in other Pokémon. It has one characteristic before evolution and another characteristic after evolution.

For example, after the green caterpillar with the "phosphorus powder" characteristic evolves into an iron pupa, its characteristic will change to "molting". Then, after evolving into Butterfree, it will change into "compound eyes" that can increase Butterfree's visual ability and make it easier to capture fast-moving targets.

But what exactly are the new characteristics that the Great-billed Gull acquired after its evolution? The scientific community has never discovered or explored them. Some people have put forward many conjectures, but unfortunately, they have all been proven wrong in the end.
And now, since I have tamed a long-winged gull with the "moist body" characteristic, does it mean that I can solve this mystery immediately after it evolves?
To be honest, if she had just started playing this game, Shirona might have felt excited and thrilled.

After all, this is a huge new discovery!
But after going through the series of baptisms...
Now, she feels like she's gotten used to it.
——In this game, I even saw legendary Pokémon with my own eyes, so what does a small characteristic matter?
