Many people didn't know that Swablu possessed Dragon-type bloodline. Qingwu had previously seen many Trainers who owned Swablu.
They were all very anxious to find the reason why Swablu couldn't evolve, and finally discovered that it was due to insufficient Dragon-type bloodline in its body.
Insufficient Dragon-type bloodline couldn't induce Swablu to replace its type, so it couldn't evolve.
Qingwu, however, knew a method: to let Swablu consume Pokéblocks made with the rare Dragon-type material, Dragon Blood Fruit.
That was a Berry irrigated with dragon blood, extraordinarily precious, and a small piece would cost tens of millions of Poké Dollars.
Therefore, Dragon-type Pokémon were also the most difficult Pokémon to fully develop, and there was a saying in the Pokémon world:
"Trainers are poor for one generation; Dragon-type Trainers are poor for three generations."
This meant that raising a Dragon-type Pokémon could potentially drain four wallets and even affect the next generation.
Dragon-type Pokémon were truly the biggest spenders (Pay-to-win)
Before a Dragon-type Pokémon was finally trained, it was quite an ordeal.
If Qingwu took Dratini and Swablu, it would be a long time before he would capture any other Dragon-type Pokémon.
Flashes of lightning struck the bottom of the lake, and the frequency of the strikes became increasingly fierce.
Even the evolved Lanturn couldn't withstand the massive current impact and went ashore, heading for other lakes.
The entire lake was now left with the evolving Dratini, Squirtle, the powerful Dragon-type Pokémon undergoing body tempering, and Qingwu's group.
Everyone was silently persevering; even Ralts was gritting its teeth and holding on, as this opportunity was truly rare.
Ralts continuously used its Starry Sky Meditation Method, guiding the electric current into its Sea of Consciousness to enhance its Psychic-type abilities.
Finally, when a powerful electric current struck the Thunder God Stone, the Thunder God Stone released its last surge of immense life energy.
Squirtle's whole body flashed with white light, and it began to evolve.
Squirtle remembered that it had no parents when it was born, and it was bullied by other Water-type Pokémon right after hatching.
Squirtle even had to guard against rampaging powerful Water-type Pokémon.
Without the reliance of a clan, Squirtle was underfed and sleep-deprived, living in fear every day.
Until one day, it was hit by a powerful white light, losing consciousness. When it woke up, it saw a human.
That day, Squirtle experienced many firsts: its first hot meal, its first good night's sleep.
For the first time, it had companions, and every companion was very kind to Squirtle. So, Squirtle wanted to maintain this goodness, and for that, it needed powerful strength.
When Squirtle saw Qingwu being attacked by Tentacruel, Squirtle rushed forward without hesitation, blocking a sure-hit Hyper Beam for Qingwu.
Its life was saved by Qingwu, so it would become the strongest shield in Qingwu's hands. Holding this belief, Squirtle suppressed its urge to evolve.
It wasn't strong enough yet; it wasn't the most suitable time for evolution. The Water Crystals on Squirtle's body continuously repaired its damaged skin.
Under the infusion of a large amount of Water-type energy and life energy, Squirtle understood. So, this was life.
Water is the source of life, water nurtures life, and water is the power of guardianship.
"The Way of Guardianship is only suitable for Squirtle," Qingwu said to the Three-Colored Fish and Mudkip.
"I hope to further enhance Squirtle's comprehension of Life Dew," Qingwu said, looking worriedly at the still-evolving Squirtle.
Ralts's Heal Pulse, Snivy's Grassy Terrain, and Squirtle's Life Dew.
These three combined could save even a critically wounded Pokémon from the brink of death.
"Ralts, don't worry about Squirtle. If it couldn't hold on, Squirtle would have given up long ago," Qingwu comforted Ralts.
Squirtle was Qingwu's third Pokémon to evolve, and it evolved according to the order of capture.
Qingwu felt that he still lacked an Electric-type Pokémon.
What Electric-type Pokémon should he choose? Luxio? Manectric? Or Electivire?
Electivire's Base Stats reached 540.
Luxio's Base Stats were only 510, but after Mega Evolution, Luxio's Base Stats reached as high as 610, and it also gained the Dragon-type.
However, good aptitude Luxio were truly hard to find.
The reason was that the Pokémon League had liberalized the breeding of Mareep.
Mareep's skin was dark blue, with fluffy pale yellow wool covering most of its body.
Its ears and tail were yellow and black, repeating the pattern yellow, black, yellow, black.
The tip of its tail had an orange spherical object, and the wool on its head was curled up.
Mareep could store static electricity by rubbing its wool. The more electricity it accumulated, the brighter the light bulb at the tip of its tail would glow.
Mareep's wool was rich in static electricity. After storing static electricity, its fluffy body hair would expand to twice its original size.
Touching it would result in an electric shock.
The fluffy wool contained a large amount of air, making it warm in winter and cool in summer.
Some high-end clothing was made from Mareep's wool, and the stronger the Mareep, the higher the value of its wool.
Therefore, after extensive breeding, Mareep's aptitude naturally declined sharply.
In his previous life, Qingwu had visited a Mareep Breeding Farm, and the best Mareep there only had Yellow Aptitude, far from meeting Qingwu's standards.
Moreover, Luxio only had 610 Base Stats after undergoing Mega Evolution.
Luxio's Mega Stone was also extremely difficult to find; even now, when people hadn't discovered the use of Mega Stones, they were hard to come by.
Not to mention, after the specific uses of Mega Stones were discovered, Mega Stones became even harder to find.
The price of Mega Stones increased, and good Mega Stones could sell for hundreds of millions in the Black Market.
Furthermore, most Mega Stones were distributed in the Kalos Region, and the Mega Stones circulated in other regions were all spread from the Kalos Region.
Legend has it that Mega Stones were formed from the shed horns of Xerneas, one of Kalos's Creation Trio.
Only ancient families in Kalos were likely to possess a significant number of Mega Stones.
Among them, Korrina's family, the Gym Leader of the Paso Gym (Possa Temple), collected the most.
Qingwu watched as Squirtle's body size continuously increased, and the lightning formed a thick cocoon.
Qingwu had a premonition that if Squirtle could evolve in this environment, Squirtle would have extremely high resistance to the Electric-type.
The thunder gradually softened, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared. Qingwu had already gone ashore with his Pokémon shortly after the lightning disappeared.
Ralts and Snivy seemed to have gained their own insights, and both closed their eyes.
Rainwater collected in puddles on the grass, reflecting the pure white clouds in the sky and the blue sky behind them.
The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, carrying a faint fragrance of earth.
The pale blue sky was serene, the sky was as blue as a pool of seawater, with a few white clouds scattered across it, dotting the sky.
Countless Flying-type Pokémon flew freely around.
The Dragon-type Pokémon also dispersed, leaving only some swimming fish and an evolving Squirtle huddled next to the Thunder God Stone at the bottom of the lake.
The sound of thunder seemed to be for Squirtle's evolution. Qingwu waited by the lake for two or three hours until a purple, round head emerged from the water, happily swimming towards Qingwu.
Squirtle successfully evolved into Wartortle.
Wartortle's head was round, with a pair of ears that looked somewhat like wings located near its mouth.
Its eyes were brown, and its fangs could be seen in its mouth. Its shell was similar to Squirtle's.
Its front limbs had three sharp claws. Its tail was like a wave, and it was also fluffy.
