Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

At the same time, the process of capturing Pokémon allows your Pokémon to gain experience and continuously level up and improve its strength, which is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

After Kitagawa Yu explained, everyone became interested.

"So where should we go next to catch Pokémon?"

Kitagawa Yu held a Pokémon buyback price list he had just obtained from the Pokémon Shop, along with a map of the Kanto region. He quickly started thinking, combining this with the storyline he had previously watched.

Seeing this, Elena and the others waited quietly and did not disturb him.

After a moment, Kitagawa Yu raised his head and made a decision.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Safari Zone first. There are more than half of the Pokémon in the Kanto region there, and there are also two Dratini hiding there. I'll go there to catch Dratini and some other Pokémon first, and then I'll catch some Parasect."

"Paraster is an evolved form of Paras. The spores produced by the mushroom on its back have high medicinal value, and one can sell for 200 million yen."

"After we leave the Wild Area, we'll head to the Grand Canyon. As far as I know, many ancient Pokémon are dormant underground there, and each one is very valuable. The Aerodactyl, for example, could fetch over 100 million yen if sold."

"Hundreds of millions of yen?!" Upon hearing this number, not only Elena, but even Chizuka couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's right. This kind of fossil pterosaur is almost extinct. Rarity makes it valuable, and it can easily sell for hundreds of millions."

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's get going!"

Elena urged excitedly, showing great interest in both the nearly extinct Pokémon and the hundreds of millions of yen.

She even thought that if the fossil pterosaur grew to be cute, she would keep it for herself instead of selling it.

That's right, in her eyes these Pokémon are just for collecting as pets. After all, if it comes down to a battle, even legendary Pokémon might not be her match.

Of course, they needed to buy some food and Poké Balls before that.

Although she had stored a lot of food in her magic pocket before coming, it would only last five or six days for six people, including Artoria, who has a big appetite.

Their trip this time will involve spending ten days to half a month in the wild.

However, this meant they had spent all of their remaining tens of thousands of yen. Looking at the few hundred-yen coins in their palms, even Kitagawa Yu and Artoria couldn't help but sigh at how quickly the money went by.

"Let's go! We need to make some money!"

After replenishing their supplies, the six people couldn't wait to leave the city and head towards the wild wilderness area along the highway.

It is worth mentioning that although some technologies in this world are very advanced, and have even developed high-tech technologies such as space compression and space teleportation, they are quite backward in other aspects.

Many cities lack even railways and buses, let alone airplanes, connecting them.

This is understandable, as many Pokémon in this world are quite aggressive. For example, what if an airplane suddenly encounters a flock of temperamental Spearow or Pidgeot while flying in the sky? Are you expecting the trainer to fight them in the air?

The same goes for railways. If a group of Tauros, Rhyhorn, or Nidoking suddenly appears, these volatile and powerful Pokémon can easily cause a huge accident.

Therefore, apart from a very few cities connected by railways with speeds comparable to high-speed rail, travel between cities is mostly by car or on foot.

Not to mention the wild wilderness areas.

Fortunately, you'll encounter many wild Pokémon in the forests along the way, which you can use to practice and level up your Pokémon, so it's not a waste of time.

In addition, when leaving the shopping street, Kitagawa Yu also saw Tomoya and the other two.

Looking at the Vulpix still being held in Xiao Gang's arms, Kitagawa Yu was speechless.

"That Pokémon beautician named Elementary School is really generous!" Elena followed his gaze and couldn't help but say.

Although not as rare and precious as Alolan Vulpix, which can fetch 30 to 40 million yen for a single one.

However, because they cannot be bred artificially, and because they are so popular as pets, even a regular Kanto Vulpix costs more than 300 million yen, which is no cheaper than her Ralts.

Moreover, Xiaoxue's Vulpix is ​​of excellent quality, having won the Kanto region Pokémon beauty pageant for several consecutive years. If it were to be sold, it would definitely fetch no less than 50 million yen.

He gave it away so easily to a stranger he had only known for less than half a day. Kitagawa Yu didn't know what to say about it.

Even disregarding the value of the Six-Tails, the bond forged from raising it from a kitten is not something you can just give away.

Who in their right mind would easily give away a pet they've raised from a kitten to adulthood and cared for for several years? It's not like it's one of those silly, destructive creatures!

However, considering that Misty gave him Psyduck with just one sentence, and that Ash later gave his Primeape, which had easily won the Fighting Tournament, to a Fighting-type Pokémon trainer he had only known for two days, he felt relieved.

Perhaps this is just a custom in the Pokémon world.

Ash and his two companions did not leave the city immediately like the others. Having just fought a fierce battle in Beauty Street, they planned to rest at the Pokémon Center for the night before heading to the next gym.

That's right, Pokémon Centers also offer paid accommodation for trainers, and it's much cheaper than hotels outside.

Then, as if by fate...

As soon as they entered, they bumped into Kojiro and his friends, who were desperately begging Joey to let them pay for their treatment on credit because they had no money.

"Team Rocket?!"

"You brat?!"

"Meow?!"

"Pickup!"

"."

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Of course, the main reason is Kojiro and his friends' hatred for Ash and Pikachu.

Adding to their woes, the robbery of their entire year's salary has left the three of them 900 million yen in debt, leaving them in a terrible mood.

If their Arbok and Gas Bomb weren't still undergoing treatment, they might have already taken action.

Ash, mindful that this was the Pokémon Center, didn't take any action, but instead called the police and summoned Officer Jenny.

Three hours later, in the police station's detention cell, Kojiro and his friends magically produced small shovels and performed a tunnel-digging feat, successfully escaping with Arbok, who had just finished treatment and was not yet ready to fight, and Koffing.

"You wretched brat! Remember this!"

"I'm definitely going to steal your Pikachu!"

"And those bastards who robbed us and stole our lines! We'll find you and get our money back, meow!"

The three of them kept cursing as they dug.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Ash and Pikachu were the main characters of this world, and they were destined to never be able to take Pikachu away.

Furthermore, Kitagawa Yu and his group chose a different route from Ash. If they had continued to follow Ash, they probably wouldn't have seen each other again until the Indigo League.

By then, any one of Kitagawa Yu's Pokémon would probably be able to beat them to a pulp.

Soon, having left behind the lost Kitagawa Yu and his friends, they began their first Pokémon battle since arriving in this world.

Their opponent was a wild Rattata.

Apart from Kitagawa Yu and Sakura, everyone else unconsciously picked up the Pokédex they had bought earlier and pointed it at Rattata. The next second, the Pokédex provided the corresponding information.

"Rattata, a Normal-type, Rat-type Pokémon, has the abilities Run Away and Guts. Its base stats are Attack 56, Defense 35, and 253. Its signature moves are Tackle and Tail Wag. Common moves include Focus Energy and Quick Attack. It has long, sharp teeth. Because it grows teeth throughout its life, it grinds them down by biting hard objects. It is a very common Pokémon."

Unlike the simple descriptions in the anime, the real Pokédex provides very detailed information, and clicking further will reveal corresponding feeding and training methods.

This even includes methods for training individuals to master the corresponding skills.

Chapter 216 An Unexpected Victory

For example, if you want a Rattata to master the general skill of 'self-motivation', the trainer needs to encourage it frequently and let it defeat thirty opponents twice its size in a row.

It must be said that although a Pokédex worth 20 yuan is expensive, it is still worth the price.

“I’ll go first in this battle,” Kitagawa Yu said, speaking up first.

“Great! I also want to see how powerful your Katie dog is!” Chizuka and Elena had no objections.

However, Kitagawa Yu did not choose to send out Growlithe, which could easily defeat Rattata, but instead chose Magikarp.

"Go, Magikarp! I choose you!"

With a bang, a beam of red light shot out from the opened Poké Ball, and then a huge Magikarp, about 50 or 60 centimeters long, appeared on the lawn in front of Rattata and started splashing around.

"???"

Rattata was startled by the sudden appearance of Magikarp, and then looked completely bewildered.

Although he had never seen Magikarp before, living in jungles and grasslands, what's the point of having a water-type Pokémon, and a fish at that, in the battle room on the grassland? Are you looking down on it?

Actually, let alone it, Chizuka and Elena were also baffled by Kitagawa Yu's choice to send out Magikarp. After all, they had already learned about the details of the Pokémon they bought through the Pokédex on the way, so they knew that before Magikarp evolved into Gyarados, it was the most useless Pokémon in the world, with no fighting power except for flailing.

This might be somewhat understandable in a river or lake, but on the grass, watching the Magikarp thrashing about aimlessly gives the impression of a dying struggle.

"Yu, why did you send Magikarp into battle? Magikarp has almost no fighting power, it can't beat Rattata, right?" Chizuka hurriedly asked.

"That's not necessarily true," Kitagawa Yu said with a smile. "Even if Magikarp can't win, it won't lose either."

Chizuka was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, not quite understanding his meaning. However, Artoria, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

At this moment, after its initial shock, Rattata also launched an attack on Magikarp.

Wild Pokémon are quite hostile towards domesticated Pokémon. Unless they are particularly docile, getting close to them can easily lead to a battle, which is a characteristic of this world.

"A powerful charge attack, where you forcefully ram into your opponent with a power of 90, but while dealing damage to the opponent, you will also suffer 25% damage reflection."

The Pokédex suddenly came to mind again; it was the Pokédex that Illya was still holding that detected the move Rattata had used and automatically began to describe it.

This surprised Kitagawa Yu, who hadn't expected the Pokédex in this world to have such a function, which was obviously much more advanced than Ash's in the anime.

Chizuka and the others became even more worried after hearing the Pokédex, but the next second, their eyes widened and they showed a look of astonishment.

Magikarp, which was thrashing about aimlessly, was completely unable to dodge Rattata's powerful ramming attack and was hit squarely by it.

Although Magikarp is much larger than Rattata, the fact is that a Pokémon's strength is not necessarily proportional to its size.

With the added force of the ramming attack, the Magikarp, weighing at least fifty or sixty pounds, was sent flying four or five meters away, rolling around, before finally coming to a stop with a loud bang after crashing into a large tree.

Contrary to their expectations, the Magikarp that slid down from the tree trunk seemed completely unaffected, still splashing around energetically. On the other hand, the Rattata, which had taken the initiative to attack, was thrown back seven or eight times by the 25% recoil from the powerful ramming attack, and when it got up, it was seeing stars.

"This is... a body made of copper and iron?!"

Once she came to her senses, Chizuka immediately thought of the description of Magikarp in the Pokédex. She had originally thought it was just an exaggerated description, but now it seemed to be true.

"That's right! It's like having skin of copper and bones of iron!"

Kitagawa Yu explained with a smile, "Don't be fooled by Magikarp's base Defense stat of only 55, which might seem low. Actually, thanks to its skeletonized body, its physical defense is extremely high. Even high-attack Pokémon like Golem, Rhyperior, and Scizor have a hard time dodging its damage, let alone Rattata. And as we all know, forces work in pairs!"

"Then why are there so few people raising Magikarp?" Ilya asked curiously from the side.

"Because compared to this kind of passive defense, most trainers still prefer to take the initiative to attack. After all, most trainers are young men and women full of passion and enthusiasm," Kitagawa Yu explained, patting her head.
