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

"Hiss~!!!"

Arbok, which was hit by the attack, let out a cry of pain and then immediately fainted.

Excellent effect + hit vital points = instant kill

At the same time, a notification sounded in Qin Ming's mind that he had gained experience.

[Hint: Your Lucario defeated Arbok, a Pokémon of a higher level, gaining 190000 experience points.]

[Hint: Lucario's level has been raised to Lv.33]

After defeating Arbok, Lucario gained a lot of experience, leveling up from level 32 to level 33.

Although fighting monsters above your level is dangerous and difficult, the experience gained is truly substantial.

……

……

Chapter 66, another Pokémon with a three-stage evolution: Rhinoceros.

After dealing with Arbok, Qin Ming immediately waved to Lucario: "Hey Lucario, keep an eye on the surroundings. Notify me immediately if there's any danger."

"Luca~!!"

"Luca~!!"

Lucario immediately said no problem, while Akame coldly surveyed the surroundings.

Your safety is my priority!

"Arbok's shed snake skin!"

Qin Ming crouched down and carefully took out the crumpled snakeskin from the grass, examining it from both sides.

"It's very intact and fresh; it's a good product!"

With a soft "thank you," Qin Ming carefully began to slowly roll up the snake's skin from the tail, his movements as gentle as if the snake were a masterpiece.

Although this snakeskin may not be as valuable as a famous painting, it is by no means insignificant.

Yes, Arbok's shed skin can be used in medicine!

The skin of the Arbok snake is warm in nature. Soaking it in water and then consuming it can dispel wind, calm the nerves, detoxify, and clear away pterygium.

Such a fresh, intact shed snakeskin could fetch at least 15 Alliance Coins on the market.

The secret realm is a treasure trove. Besides the spirit items generated by the collision of planes, finding such a complete snake skin can also yield a considerable amount of money.

This is why trainers keep venturing into secret realms to search for treasures.

Because Arbok's shed skin can fetch a high price, some people have tried to keep Arbok as pets, but unfortunately, they all failed.

The ferocious Arbok almost swallowed its owner whole.

Taming a cold-blooded Pokémon like Arbok is no easy feat.

Currently, the only Pokémon that humans can raise on a large scale is Miltank.

After quickly tidying up the snakeskin, Qin Ming left a few energy cubes for the fallen Arbok.

Snake spirits are notoriously vengeful.

Leave some Power Cubes for Him, lest Arbok hold a grudge against him and Lucario.

The reason Arbok was able to be defeated today is because it had just molted and was in a weak state. Once it has rested, it will be a different story.

"Dog, retreat!"

After a quick packing, Qin Ming returned with the snakeskin and Lucario he had acquired.

Perhaps because of the presence of Arbok, a ferocious large snake-like Pokémon, the surrounding wild Pokémon automatically gave way, and Qin Ming did not encounter any other Pokémon. He successfully returned to the temporary camp built in the mountain stream.

With my back against the safe mountain rocks, I felt much more at ease.

Next came a simple meal and rest.

While eating, Qin Ming reviewed the events of the day.

"There are great risks in fighting monsters that are much higher level than you, but the rewards are also great."

"Even without the snake skin, the experience gained from defeating Arbok is enough."

"Once I defeat a few more opponents and level up my dog, I won't be afraid of these opponents anymore."

"I still have some paralysis bombs and throwing balls. Even if I can't defeat a strong wild Pokémon, I can still escape unscathed."

"Instead of passively hiding, it's better to take the initiative!"

Qin Ming began to consider the possibility of training Lucario here.

"Finding a suitable opponent is not easy, and luck played a significant role in our victory over Arbok today."

"However... if the opponent's attributes are countered by the dog, then the battle might be much easier."

"The dog's type is Steel + Fighting. This type combination means that when facing Rock, Bug, and Dark type attacks, it will only take a quarter of the original damage."

"If the opponent has these attributes, the win rate will be greatly increased."

What Pokémon combine the Rock and Bug types?

"Shuttle, Kabuto, and Kelpie... these types of Pokémon mostly inhabit areas near water sources..."

"The Steel + Rock Cocodora is pretty good too. It's four times weak to melee attacks, and one wave of missiles should be enough to seriously injure the opponent..."

"But Coco Dora isn't very common..."

"The Rock/Dark type is also four times weaker to Fighting, but it seems that only the Tyranitar species has this type combination, making it even rarer to see..."

Just as Qin Ming was pondering what kind of opponent to find for Lucario to be an experience booster, a scene from the Great Escape suddenly flashed through his mind.

A herd of one-horned rhinoceroses ran by!

Rhinoceros is a Rock/Ground type, although it doesn't have a weakness that is four times weak to it.

But whether it's Fighting or Steel-type moves, they can effectively counter the opponent.

As a second choice, the one-horned rhinoceros would be a decent opponent.

Despite its imposing appearance, Rhyhorn's total base stats are actually quite low at only 345, while Lucario's total base stats are 525, a full 180 points higher than Rhyhorn's.

In addition, the base stat distribution of the Unicorn Rhino is also very unreasonable.

Its attack and defense stats are quite good, but its special defense stat is only 30, and its speed stat is even worse at only 25.

With a Special Attack stat of 115, Lucario could probably be taken down with a single Wave Missile. Even if it couldn't, Lucario could easily catch Rhyhorn with its low speed.

Of course, reality is not a turn-based game.

The outcome of a battle is not solely determined by the level of base stats, but the total and distribution of base stats can reflect the outcome from another perspective.

Let's look at the one-horned rhinoceros from a different perspective.

Rhinoceros is a three-stage evolutionary Pokémon, which can evolve into Rhinoceros Beast and then into Rhinoceros Armor.

In other words, the one-horned rhinoceros is actually the most basic form of this species.

Let's compare it with the Caterpie, which also undergoes a three-stage evolution.

One-horned rhinoceros = green caterpillar, one-horned rhinoceros = armored pupa, super armored rhinoceros = giant butterfly.

Of course, this comparison might be somewhat weak.

However, when compared to another Pokémon with the same three-stage evolution, the results are quite similar.

For example, the Charizard family, which is one of the more well-known starter Pokémon.

In terms of appearance, the one-horned rhinoceros is the same as the little dragon, the one-horned rhinoceros beast is the same as the fire dragon, and the super armored rhinoceros is the same as the fire-breathing dragon.

If Lucario were to battle a Rhyhorn in its initial form, Lucario would have the advantage.

Choose the softest persimmons to squeeze!

If you can level up, then you won't have to be so timid in this area anymore.

With that in mind, Qin Ming made up his mind: "Doggy, get a good rest tonight, and we'll start special training tomorrow!"

"Luca~!!!"

Sensing Qin Ming's confidence, Lucario immediately responded enthusiastically.

……

The next day, after a good night's rest, Qin Ming took Lucario to search for traces of the rhinoceros.

After three hours, we finally found the trail of the one-horned rhinoceros.

The habitat of the one-horned rhinoceros was not hard to find. First, Qin Ming remembered the direction the one-horned rhinoceros herd ran during the great escape.

Secondly, despite being a Rock/Ground type, Rhino is an omnivorous Pokémon, unlike Geodude which simply eats ores to fill its stomach.

Besides eating rocks, the one-horned rhinoceros also eats grass.

Because of their large size and love of running, they prefer to live in plains and grasslands near water sources.
