Chapter 41 My God, Lord Bodangshui!
Pokémon: Gyarados
[Attributes: Water, Flying]
[Level: 38]
【Characteristic: Intimidate】
[Moves: Reverse Scale, Dragon Dance, Dragon's Roar Inspire, Dragon Tail, Scale Shot... others omitted.]
Wow! Host, this Gyarados knows so many Dragon-type moves, but none of them are Dragon-type, which doesn't quite match your preferred type.
Despite having "dragon" in its name, Gyarados has neither a Dragon-type nor a Dragon-type attribute, neither in its base form nor in its Mega Evolution form.
It is indeed a fake dragon.
but.
Gyarados has only been gone a short time, yet it has already learned so many Dragon-type moves?
All told, two weeks have passed.
He remembered that Gyarados was only at the peak of Normal difficulty when it left, which is level 35.
Li Luochen currently possesses a system that visualizes experience, eliminating the concept of barriers.
But regular Pokémon are a bit different.
There are still some barriers between the normal and elite levels. Being able to break through to the elite level in a short period of time and possess strength close to the mid-elite level means that Gyarados has found its opportunity.
"Roar." (Long time no see. I've come back to tell you something. Take this first, and I'll explain later.)
Gyarados's tail stretched out of the river, followed by a group of Magikarp peeking out, each with something hidden in its mouth.
Splash...
The Magikarp spat out what was in their mouths and placed it on the shore for Li Luochen to take.
"Ah, this is good stuff! I want it!"
Before Li Luochen could even see what it was, Gu Leton took the initiative, emerging from the Poké Ball and snatching away the few Dragon Gems.
This thing is rich in dragon energy; it looks like a tonic and can help replenish my energy.
Li Luochen rolled his eyes at Guleton, then looked back at Gyarados and asked curiously, "What's going on? Did you discover some kind of hidden paradise?"
A hidden paradise, or in other words, a secret realm.
"Roar." (That's right, in the deep sea not far from the area around Lan Island, there's a secret realm. It's rich in resources, and there's no sign of that alien mania. I think you should go in and take a look.)
Gyarados explained the general situation to Li Luochen.
After listening to Gyarados's story, Li Luochen remained silent.
All the previously explored secret realms in the Donghuang region are either on the surface or inside caves.
Such hidden realms in the deep sea are not unheard of.
Why don't trainers in the Eastern Region explore the hidden realms of the deep sea?
Is it that you don't want to?
That's definitely impossible.
This involves the correspondence between the location of the secret realm and its internal environment.
The secret realm where the Void Flame was previously subdued was located by the roadside, and its interior environment was mostly flat.
Most of the hidden realms in the deep sea are located in the deep sea, with very little land area.
Internal resources may be plentiful, but you still need to be alive to access them.
Gyarados has no problem entering the deep sea secret realm; in fact, it could be considered to have a home-field advantage.
What can he do inside?
Once inside, the only creature capable of fighting is Hakuryu.
Charizard, Guradon, and Blaze, these three good buddies of Sunny Day, instantly turned into drowning monsters the moment they entered.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" (The secret realm I entered is different from those others. There aren't many water areas inside... Well, I can't say that. Let me think about how to explain it to you.)
Gyarados racked its brains before finally giving a rather straightforward answer.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" (This means that the current water area is as if it has been sealed off, and both people and Pokémon can move freely on the still water.)
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" (Beneath the water lies a rare and precious plant that resembles a tree branch. However, this plant is guarded by a powerful dragon-type Pokémon. I learned these new moves from it.)
Gyarados roared several times.
"Oh?"
Li Luochen rubbed his chin, clicking his tongue in amazement: "A powerful dragon-type Pokémon guarding a rare and precious treasure that looks like a tree branch? Could you describe what that Pokémon looks like?"
"Roar! Roar roar roar!"
Gyarados started gesturing.
It roughly resembles a bipedal Tyrannosaurus-type Pokémon, with a light blue crystal crest on its head, thick purple mane covering its neck and back, and a blue and white body. Its forelimbs are raised, like some kind of ancient hunter.
Li Luochen: ⊙_⊙
This description?!
Isn't that the undulating water master who can squeeze into our sunny or rainy day team?
Bodangshui can be considered an ancient species of the second-level divine water spirit.
Its total base stats and traits are the same as Skybreaker Flame: 590 and Ancient Activity.
The only stats with a base stat exceeding 100 are Special Attack and Speed.
It looks so-so.
but!
The rippling water possesses both water and dragon attributes!
It is only countered by dragons, fairies, and the ice-type move Freeze-Dry.
Furthermore, Bodangshui has an incredible signature move – water vapor!
Water vapor, a special attack move, with a power of 80, looks unremarkable.
But there is one very special point.
That is, in sunny weather, while the power of other water-type moves is reduced, our water vapor move can ignore the power reduction effect and even increase the power by 1.5 times!
What does that mean?
In other words, this move can be perfectly enhanced in both sunny and rainy weather.
This allows Bodangshui to thrive in both rainy and sunny weather.
"If it's that Pokémon, then it's not a problem for it to guard it."
Powerful Pokémon that descend through a secret realm may sometimes suffer damage to their essence due to the instability of the space, thus reducing their strength.
The secret seasoning is enough to restore a Pokémon's original form, making it the perfect choice for Pokémon that need to regain their strength.
It's perfectly reasonable for the water to remain there.
but.
Li Luochen also needs the secret seasoning.
"The separated space, the mysterious rippling water, and the secret seasoning. It seems I'll have to find some time to go there and check it out."
Li Luochen pondered for a moment, realizing he would have to bring the chef, Papa, along.
It makes perfect sense to bring a cook along.
"Gyarados, what are you going to do next? Are you going to stay at the gym and retire?"
There are already so many Pokémon in the gym, one more Gyarados won't make a difference, it's just like adding a couple more bowls and chopsticks.
Maybe I can use it for a few more matches later.
"Roar!" (No need for that. My ambitions lie far ahead. I call the world my home and will continue to move forward with the current. Don't worry, this is the place that nurtured me for so long.)
"Roar!" (I, Gyarados, will be back from time to time. When I do, I'll tell you what I've seen and heard, and bring back some local specialties, just like today.)
"Roar." (Alright, I should go now. I'll be back within a month, and then I'll take you to that secret realm. Remember to wait for me here.)
After saying that, Gyarados plunged into the Minjiang River and drifted towards the sea.
Watching Gyarados's retreating figure.
Li Luochen began to ponder.
How can you be so bold...
What's it like playing Travel Frog?
