It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"Bulbasaur~!!!"

Bulbasaur protested.

I'm not called Garlic Turtle, I'm called Bulbasaur.

"Damn it!!"

"It's Bulbasaur from the starter Pokémon! Li Shiwei, you're amazing!!"

Chen Junliang said with envy, "Qin Ming's starter Pokémon is Riolu, and yours is Bulbasaur. I'm so envious!!"

Sun Pengcheng's eyes were also filled with envy: "Envy, jealousy, and hatred!!"

The starter Pokémon are not common, everyday items.

Most starter Pokémon have base stats between 520 and 530.

Such base stats place it in the upper-middle range among ordinary Pokémon.

There aren't many Pokémon with higher base stats than the starter Pokémon, which is why Chen Junliang and Sun Pengcheng are envious.

Of course, obtaining such precious starter Pokémon is not easy.

Each province's Trainer Association has a dedicated starter Pokémon training center. To obtain a starter Pokémon, a child must pay a substantial fee every year from birth to age eighteen.

Then, when they turn eighteen, they can go to the starter family training center to receive them.

Qin Ming's family was well-off, but they were not qualified to choose from the top three families.

That's because Qin Ming's family wasn't particularly wealthy at first; they only earned their first pot of gold after the demolition and relocation, so they didn't have the opportunity to choose from the top three families.

While Li Shiwei and Sun Pengcheng were filled with envy and jealousy, Qin Ming's attention was focused on Bulbasaur's skill list.

"The inherited skill is a rocket headbutt?!"

"This Bulbasaur is quite special!!"

……

……

Chapter 30, it seems there's not much difference between Scyther evolving and not evolving.

"Everyone, please make way, my sprite is a little big."

"Everyone, step back a little so you don't get hurt."

Chen Junliang and the other two dormitory members stepped back two meters before taking out their Poké Balls to show off their Pokémon.

After the red light, a spirit nearly two meters tall, weighing about 60 kilograms, with a body of emerald green, a pair of scythe-like long swords, and a pair of thin cicada wings on its back appeared in front of the three.

This Pokémon is Scyther, a Bug/Flying type.

[Pokémon: Scyther]

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: Insect, Flying]

[Ability: Bug Sensation (When HP is low, the power of Bug-type moves increases.)]

[Level: 20 (Ordinary Beginner)]

[Potential: Gym level]

[Items to carry: none]

[Skills: Glare, Lightning Strike, Combo Slash, Wing Attack, Shadow Clone, Double Strike, Cleave]

[Inherited Skill: Ambush to Weak Points]

[Status: General]

[Individual Values: HP 31, Attack (23), Defense (31), Special Attack (15), Special Defense (17), Speed ​​(20)]

[Note: A relatively rare Pokémon with decent potential.]

……

Qin Ming's Riolu and Scyther are both level 20, both are ordinary beginners, but it has to be admitted that Scyther gives people a greater sense of pressure.

Standing nearly two meters tall and wielding two sharp scythes, it certainly looks more imposing than Riolu, which is only about one meter tall.

Moreover, in terms of ability, Scyther is stronger than Riolu.

In terms of base stats, Riolu's base stats in its initial form are only 285, while Scyther's base stats reach 500.

The difference in base stats is what makes Scyther stronger.

However, when Riolu evolves into Lucario, that's a different story.

Seeing his Bulbasaur retreat two meters, Li Shiwei said, "Your Scyther seems pretty strong."

Chen Junliang said with a wry smile, "Before becoming my partner, the Flying Mantis was already capable of standing on its own. It was quite by chance that I subdued it."

"The reason Scyther agreed to become my partner was because I promised it that I would help it complete its evolution!"

After hearing Chen Junliang's explanation, everyone looked like they suddenly understood.

Sun Pengcheng said, "Then you'd better work hard!"

"If I remember correctly, the item for Scyther to evolve is Metal Coat, and that thing isn't cheap; I think it costs over 500 million on the market!"

Chen Junliang nodded and said, "It was precisely because the metal film was so expensive that I studied like crazy in my senior year of high school and worked hard to get into Shenzhen University."

This time it was Qin Ming's turn to ask curiously, "Is there any necessary connection between the metal membrane and our school?"

Qin Ming didn't pay much attention to applying to university.

The reason I applied to Shenzhen University was because it was close to home. Apparently, the president of Shenzhen University was a very skilled trainer, and the university's flagship major was the trainer major.

Apart from that, I don't know much about Shenzhen University.

At that time, I was completely focused on completing the fishing progress and entering the secret realm for training.

"Of course we're in touch!"

"Our school's main selling point is being incredibly wealthy!"

Chen Junliang explained, "I've already checked. As long as you can graduate successfully from the Trainer major, you can get a scholarship of around two million!"

"If I work harder during my time at school and strive for better grades, I can easily obtain a scholarship of three to five million yuan before graduation!"

"In addition, the school also provides a living allowance of 20,000 yuan to students majoring in trainers every month."

"If I work a little harder, I should be able to get the evolution metal membrane for Scyther before my junior year!"

Sun Pengcheng chimed in, "Besides the huge scholarships and the generous monthly stipends, our school is incredibly generous in other aspects too!"

"Those training rooms are free for students to use, and whenever the school organizes activities to enter the secret realm, they will also distribute valuable equipment for the students' safety."

"I heard from the senior students that as long as you are careful, you basically won't need those equipment."

"If you want to exchange it for money, you can resell it for tens of thousands of yuan."

"The school will not get too involved in students selling equipment."

"To be fair, although our school doesn't have the same deep-rooted heritage as traditional prestigious universities like Tsinghua, Yenching, and Fudan, it definitely ranks first among all universities in terms of funding!"

The two explanations made Qin Ming realize the truth.

According to statistics, Shenzhen has the highest concentration of billionaires in the entire country.

With so many wealthy people living in the city, how could the university resources here be lacking?

However, to be fair, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference whether Scyther evolves or not.

Scyther has a base stat total of 500, and its evolved form, Scizor, also has a base stat total of 500. It is the only Pokémon among many that does not increase its base stats when it evolves; its type only changes from Bug/Flying to Bug/Steel.

From a practical standpoint, there's no need for Scyther to force itself to evolve.

But who knows? Maybe Chen Junliang's Scyther just wants to evolve?

Each elf has its own ideas.

Moving on from that question, Qin Ming looked at Sun Pengcheng, who hadn't yet shown his Pokémon: "Where's your starter Pokémon?"

As Qin Ming asked the question, Chen Junliang and Li Shiwei also turned their attention to Sun Pengcheng.

Sun Pengcheng scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I don't have a starter Pokémon yet!"

Qin Ming accidentally "picked up" Riolu, Chen Junliang also accidentally caught Scyther, and Li Shiwei was able to get the starter Pokémon from the starter Pokémon breeding farm because his family was rich.

But in fact, many new trainers, like Sun Pengcheng, do not yet have their own starter Pokémon.

"No rush, we can subdue it when we enter the secret realm later."

Li Shiwei smiled and asked, "By the way, what kind of Pokémon do you want to catch as your first Pokémon?"

Sun Pengcheng chuckled and said, "I've had many ideas. It would be great if I could capture a water-type Pokémon. My hometown is near the sea, so I can often go swimming and play with Pokémon."

"Flying-type Pokémon are not bad either. It would be great to catch a Pidgey. If I can't make a living as a trainer later, I can have Pidgey deliver takeout. That sounds pretty good."

"It would be great to catch an Ice-type Pokémon; then I wouldn't even need to turn on the air conditioner in the summer..."

In response to Sun Pengcheng's vision, Qin Ming laughed and said, "Trying to capture an ice-type spirit in Shenzhen? That's going to be too difficult!"
