Qing Wu walked through over a meter of tall grass. Here, it was the territory of Grimer and Swalot.
Two paths appeared before Qing Wu.
The path on Qing Wu's left would lead to a large lake. At the end of the lake was the outskirts of Pallet Town.
After passing Pallet Town, it wasn't far from Fushia City. Professor Oak lived in Fushia City.
It was almost time for Qing Wu to receive his Pokémon.
Qing Wu planned to directly register himself for the Kanto League Conference when he received his starter Pokémon.
Qing Wu also planned to ask Professor Oak to review his evolution paper on Grimer and have Professor Oak be his supervisor, a reliable contact.
The path on Qing Wu's right, however, was significant. It was the face project of Pewter City: a cross-sea bridge.
It was said that this exclusive cross-sea bridge for bicycles cost tens of billions to build. On the bridge, there were many cyclists. One had to ride a bicycle to get onto this cross-sea bridge.
This cross-sea bridge was also quite convenient. If one took the cross-sea bridge, it would only take about an hour from Viridian City to Pewter City.
Below the cross-sea bridge was overgrown with grass. This was a specially reserved living space for Pokémon. In the grass, many wild Bug Catchers, Youngsters, and Lass's guarded.
Once they encountered an unfamiliar trainer, they would directly send out their Pokémon for a Pokémon battle.
However, the most common Pokémon Qing Wu encountered under the bridge were wild electric Pokémon, such as Plusle and Minun.
Plusle looked a bit like a small rabbit. Its body was mainly light yellow, and its ears, tail, and the tips of its hands were red.
It had two red circular electric sacs on its cheeks, each with a light yellow "+" sign.
Its tail was in the shape of a "+".
Minun looked a bit like a small rabbit. Its body was mainly light yellow, and the tips of its ears and tail were light blue.
It had two blue circular electric sacs on its cheeks, each with a light yellow "-" sign.
Its tail was in the shape of a "-".
Plusle and Minun usually lived together, viewing each other as interdependent partners.
Not far from the bridge was the abandoned power plant of Pewter City. It was filled with a large number of wild Electric-type Pokémon.
The abandoned power plant used a seawater power generation model, absorbing a large amount of seawater through a pump and then generating power by swirling and pressurizing it.
However, regrettably, due to insufficient power supply and poor management, this power plant went bankrupt.
The bankrupt power plant, due to the operators fleeing immediately, its power generation equipment did not stop operating. Instead, it generated power day and night.
This attracted many Electric-type Pokémon to thrive and reproduce here.
The whirring sound of the generator's operation... it caused discomfort to nearby residents.
Pewter City's top brass tried several waves of trainers to stop the generator, but they couldn't. Instead, they were attacked by enraged Electric-type Pokémon.
The trainer teams suffered heavy losses, so the power plant became a place of unfinished business.
The power plant became a place that gave the high-level officials of Pewter City an extreme headache.
But Qing Wu knew that the Electric-type Pokémon in the power plant had extremely high potential.
Because of the continuous absorption of generator energy over the years, their potential was very good.
Qing Wu also knew that the power plant was secretly controlled by Team Magma. Its purpose was to cultivate high-potential Electric-type Pokémon.
Qing Wu knew that there was a group of Electabuzz inside, and their potential was quite high.
There were also common Electric-type Pokémon like Magneton and Magnemite. They strictly followed Team Magma's orders, secretly patrolling, and driving away any intruders.
The Alliance members only regarded them as wild Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant and didn't let anyone get close. But they never expected that there was an underground organization secretly controlling them.
This power plant was indeed a good place to train Pokémon.
Just then, a yellow-potential Swalot suddenly rushed out from the grass.
Swalot was entirely green. On its head, there was a yellow plume, like an angry little red bird.
Its entire body was soft and wobbly, resembling a mud pie.
Swalot's body was almost entirely composed of a stomach pouch. Therefore, it could swallow anything similar to its own size. Moreover, its gastric acid was acidic enough to dissolve iron filings.
[Pokémon: Swalot (Yellow)]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: 35]
[Attribute: Poison]
[Ability: Sticky Mucus]
[Base Skills: Haze, Acid Spray, Mud Bomb, Amnesia, Encore, Gunk Shot, Stockpile, Swallow, Sludge Bomb.]
[Inherited Skills: Thunderbolt, Explosion, Electric Wave, Shadow Ball.]
This was a small Pokémon with a very wide range of skills, equivalent to the Kanto region version of Grimer.
Behind this Swalot were dozens of other Swalot following it. Clearly, it was the leader of the Swalot.
Swalot in a state of hunger would swallow anything it could see. Its powerful digestive fluid would instantly digest all objects.
To put it bluntly, Swalot was an Elite Trainer.
Now, the red-eyed Swalot group attacked Qing Wu.
"Come out, Squirtle!" Qing Wu immediately called out Squirtle. Swalot's strong acid could corrode the metal on its shell.
Qing Wu saw crackling sounds on Swalot's body, and then a current burst out from Swalot's body.
The current split into five streams on the ground, forming a net of attack.
"Squirtle, spin and use Water Gun!" The group of Swalot behind Squirtle also learned from it, displaying an electric technique.
Instantly, silver snakes of electricity danced, and thunder roared.
Qing Wu watched, narrowing his eyes. He seemed to sense the influence of the nearby power plant, making the surrounding Pokémon learn Electric-type moves.
Qing Wu had encountered non-Electric-type Pokémon using Electric-type moves more than once.
Squirtle's comprehension was the power of purification.
During high-speed rotation, Squirtle continuously purified the water currents it released.
The water, after purification, became ultra-pure water, even purer than tap water.
Swalot's electric attacks were directly blocked, falling onto the ground and forming small, shallow pits.
At this moment, Squirtle was like a giant shuriken rotating as it charged towards the Swalot group.
He only heard a roar. The Swalot group was hit by countless attacks. Only the Swalot leader struggled to stand up, and its entire body emitted a white light of evolution.
"Indeed, it has reached the brink of evolution." Qing Wu was not surprised after seeing the white light emanating from Swalot.
Swalot's potential was good. It could surpass the Elite Trainer level after evolution.
Even now, it still hadn't evolved. Qing Wu knew that Swalot was overfed. It was so hungry that it didn't even react to evolve.
Every year, many Swalot starve to death.
Swalot's evolution did not last long. Compared to other Pokémon, Swalot's evolution speed was fast, lasting about half a quarter of an hour.
Swalot evolved into a Gulpin. Its main body color was purple.
Gulpin had yellow whiskers on both sides of its mouth, and its abdomen had black markings.
Gulpin had no teeth. No matter what, it swallowed things, and it could use gastric acid to digest them.
This Gulpin evolved into a Swalot. Its level directly soared to 40.
After reaching level 40, a Pokémon was infinitely close to advanced elite, and its offensive power also increased. However, its price in the black market would still be considerable.
After evolving, Swalot regained its rationality. Now, it could freely control the digestive fluid in its stomach.
Although Gulpin was very hungry, Gulpin felt it could still endure.
Gulpin directly lunged at Qing Wu, intending to swallow Qing Wu. This was the characteristic of a wild Pokémon that was difficult to train.
They didn't care about anything, so there were many cases of wild Pokémon injuring people every year.
Normally, when Alliance members received such reports, they would send trainers to capture these Pokémon.
Just then, a beam of Ice Beam directly shot into Gulpin's mouth, but then Gulpin's body suddenly absorbed golden light.
"Squirtle, dodge! Gulpin is preparing to use 'Spit Up'!" This move could absorb external energy and release it all at once, even more powerful than Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
At this moment, a huge beam of light shot out from Gulpin's mouth. Qing Wu rolled on the ground, dodging Gulpin's attack. He saw that where the beam passed, countless ice crystals formed.
This Gulpin was very intelligent. The moment Squirtle attacked its mouth, it used "Swallow" this ultimate move, and then, to avoid freezing inside its body, it directly used "Stockpile."
Gulpin stored the natural energy absorbed from outside in its stomach, then used "Spit Up" again, directly spitting out an enhanced Ice Beam.
Qing Wu even saw a golden potential Regice suffer an unprovoked disaster, unable to dodge and being frozen in the grass.
"Go, Poké Ball!" A golden potential Regice, it could be given to Team Rocket.
Qing Wu's training house was currently lacking Pokémon that could be sold, so Qing Wu didn't let go of the golden potential Regice.
The Pokémon in Qing Wu's hand, and also the Gyarados he was preparing to sell. Gyarados, as one of the starter Pokémon, could be used to promote his training house.
As for the golden potential Steelix and Scizor, Qing Wu needed to keep them in hand as proof for publishing his paper.
