Qing Wu teleported to the other side of the lightning corridor, then turned and walked towards the power vortex device area.
In the power vortex device area, there were also quite a few well-known trainers and hunters.
They also realized that the Pokémon in the lightning corridor were not very good in terms of potential, so they quickly passed through the lightning corridor a step ahead.
At this moment, they were sending out Pokémon to battle the Electric-type Pokémon.
The Electric-type Pokémon clans here were much fewer than in the lightning corridor, but their potential was significantly higher.
"(-_-) Tch, another little brat. You can let any stray cat or dog into that lightning corridor outside." He spat a mouthful of thick saliva onto the ground with disdain.
"Wild Bull, pay attention to your words. Little brother, you don't care, huh? Wild Bull is just a bit foul-mouthed, otherwise he's a very good big guy," the tall and burly man complained to Qing Wu.
"Wild Bull, when will it be my turn? You've already done so much, you big fool." Wild Bull seemed to have been stepped on a sore spot and immediately exploded, loudly saying to the tall and burly man.
The tall and burly man chuckled, saying nothing more.
Wild Bull's Pokémon were all power-type Pokémon: Swampert, Nidoking, Magmortar, and Infernape.
His Pokémon were all fighting spiritedly against the Electric-type Pokémon on the field.
Although the Pokémon here were much fewer than in the lightning corridor, each clan still numbered in the hundreds, giving these dozen or so hunters and trainers extraordinary combat power.
Qing Wu did not see Du's figure here. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did someone go to the next area?"
A redhead woman with a slender waist responded to Qing Wu's question.
"A redhead man drove a Charizard into the next area." The redhead woman smiled.
"Hong Yan, why don't you answer my questions? You're really meddlesome." The slender man retorted, his face showing that he was very displeased.
"Old hag, what's wrong with answering a question? Why are you so meddlesome? Explain it to me today." Hong Yan was short-tempered and would flare up at the slightest provocation.
She was a Fire-type trainer. Her Pokémon included Charizard, Arcanine, Magmar, Ninetales, and Rapidash.
"I remember now. They are famous hunters, part of the Rescue Squad. However, I heard they later disappeared in the Mauville City Power Plant, never to be seen alive or dead."
"It seems there must be some inside story to this Mauville City Power Plant. What kind of illusory Pokémon is it, exactly?" Qing Wu originally thought it was Groudon, but upon reflection, it didn't seem very likely.
Groudon was the gatekeeper who activated the Trial of the Phoenix King. If Groudon went missing, the Phoenix King would definitely be anxious and send out its three great Legendary Pokémon: Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Latias.
There had been no movement until now, indicating that the missing one was not Groudon.
Now Qing Wu didn't have much of a headache either.
In the power vortex device area, which was roughly the same size as the lightning corridor, were distributed Pokémon like Magneton, Electabuzz, Electabuzz (Elekid's evolution), Pikachu, Plusle, Minun, etc.
The entire area was covered with exposed power lines. This was the most important area for the entire power plant's external power transmission.
Qing Wu easily saw electric sparks here. The Electric-type Pokémon fighting here would quickly awaken and return to battle if they weren't knocked down in one hit.
"This is somewhat similar to an electric field." Qing Wu muttered.
In an electric field, not only do Electric-type Pokémon's attacks double, but the electricity lost when Electric-type Pokémon use skills is also very easily replenished.
Don't look at the people present who are still fighting back and forth. After a while, they won't even be able to make a sound.
Qing Wu clearly saw static electricity continuously accumulating on these people's Pokémon. Once it accumulated to a certain level, it would explode, paralyzing them.
"This is medicine that cures paralysis. If your Pokémon are found to have problems, please don't force them."
Qing Wu knew that the people here were a considerable force. If they suffered losses here, they would really be in deep trouble.
And the Adventurers' Guild was also a relatively benevolent guild.
In his previous life, Qing Wu had seen the Rescue Squad donate large sums of money more than once, all for the purpose of improving the living environment of the Emerald Region.
When the Emerald Region suffered major disasters, the Rescue Squad would always be the first to stand up and help.
Lending a hand to those who see fit. This was Qing Wu's principle in dealing with things.
"Who needs this stuff? My bracelet is huge. Hong Yan is our team's pharmacist," the slender man said disdainfully to this product with three zeros.
At this moment, the slender man was stunned.
"This..." The slender man smelled the medicine inside.
"This is a top-grade paralysis recovery medicine, and its effect is ten times better than the ordinary kind." The slender man was stunned.
The slender man felt as if he had been slapped hard several times. At this moment, the slender man was much soberer.
What exactly was the reason that made him feel so displeased with Qing Wu, to speak so rudely?
Qing Wu didn't argue much with the slender man.
"There are some dangers here. Don't send out all your Pokémon. At least keep one Pokémon that can escape. Just now, a Voltorb self-destructed in the lightning corridor. Many hunters and trainers were sacrificed. Be careful." Qing Wu finished speaking and took out a Poké Ball.
Arcanine appeared behind Qing Wu, taking Qing Wu's worried glance and the flickering electric light and policies into its eyes.
Not long after Qing Wu left the sight of these trainers and hunters, he landed on the ground, took off his black robe, and revealed his power plant worker's uniform.
"Sure enough, the Electric-type Pokémon here all recognized this 'power plant uniform.' The Pokémon that were originally about to attack, upon encountering Qing Wu wearing the power plant uniform, actively stopped their attack."
"This uniform is truly a walking bug. Thanks to that old power plant employee, I found this shortcut."
Arcanine was quite unsuited to this environment full of electricity, so Qing Wu sent out the mighty Growlithe.
To prevent the mighty Growlithe from accumulating too much static electricity on its paws, Qing Wu again gave the mighty Growlithe a Paralysis Heal.
After obtaining the mighty Growlithe's consent, Qing Wu sat on the mighty Growlithe's back.
Qing Wu, riding on the mighty Growlithe's electrifying speed, headed towards the seawater pressurization device area.
With the bug of the power plant employee's uniform, Qing Wu had a clear path throughout.
Some young Pokémon that were about to attack were directly stopped by the older Pokémon.
"What a pity. There are still many low-potential Pokémon here." Qing Wu shook his head.
The Pokémon here were not of high potential. They were all orange-potential Pokémon. Occasionally, yellow-potential Pokémon would appear.
"Thousands of Pokémon, and I can't find a single green-potential Pokémon, ε=(ο`*))) alas." Qing Wu sighed.
Just as Qing Wu was about to give up, Qing Wu saw a newly hatched Pokémon, constantly rotating its arms, unleashing Thunderbolt.
This was an Electabuzz.
Electabuzz had horn-like plugs on its head, and its body had yellow and black patterns.
Its body was oval-shaped, with two arms that were almost proportional to its body. Its arms had two black striped bands. Electabuzz's legs were very short; it could basically only be seen from its feet. In the middle of its belly was a lightning flower.
The Electabuzz present all dodged in panic, weeping and looking for their parents.
Qing Wu watched this Electabuzz standing alone, looking desolate. He watched these Electabuzz with a hint of sorrow.
"Why are you alone here?" Qing Wu asked curiously. Ditto had already transformed into Garchomp and was translating.
"I don't have parents. I haven't had parents since I was born." Electabuzz replied, whimpering.
"I just wanted everyone to see that I could use Thunderbolt. I didn't expect to make everyone cry, and from now on, no one will play with me." Large tears flowed from Electabuzz's eyes.
"Then, can I be your partner?" Qing Wu extended a friendly hand.
"You? You don't control my electricity? I'm afraid I might accidentally turn you into charcoal." Electabuzz wiped its tears and refused coldly.
"You can unleash a Thunderbolt on me. You'll see that I won't be affected. There are many friends in this world who aren't afraid of electric shocks," Qing Wu said with a smile to Electabuzz.
"With your physique, just give up, Electabuzz."
"Although I want to be your friend, I don't want to hurt you." Electabuzz said from its heart, "Friends don't hurt each other." Electabuzz continued to shake its head.
Qing Wu saw Electabuzz's innocent heart.
"How about this, you use the minimum power Thunderbolt, then you'll know that I wasn't lying." Qing Wu suggested to Electabuzz. This made Electabuzz somewhat tempted.
So Electabuzz waved its arm and released a small current. Sure enough, it had no effect on Qing Wu.
"Is that so? From now on, I'm your friend?" Qing Wu said to Electabuzz as if coaxing a child.
"Let's go, Arcanine. We continue forward." Qing Wu directly hugged Electabuzz in his arms. Electabuzz, encountering the warmth between companions for the first time, immediately blushed.
Its originally boisterous personality now felt a little delicate.

Although this Electabuzz's potential hadn't reached green, it still knew quite a few useful skills. And among them, there were three punches.
The Electabuzz group watched Qing Wu carry Electabuzz away, and instead of being relieved, that Electabuzz was actually quite pleased.
"Electabuzz, has anything happened recently?" Qing Wu wanted to find a Pokémon who understood this place and ask what exactly happened at the power plant.
"Something happened. Groudon is nothing. Most Pokémon have been dreaming about Groudon recently. I'm no exception." Electabuzz said, shivering, recalling the nightmares.
"Groudon." A Groudon-like figure appeared in Qing Wu's mind.
"Legend says only this Pokémon controls Groudon, but if it's just this Pokémon, it's clearly a villainous Pokémon. Why would Mauville City want to absorb its soul?" Qing Wu he felt very strange.
This point of doubt would probably only be discovered by Qing Wu when he reached the basement.
After having this mischievous little fellow Electabuzz, the Pokémon in the power vortex area all seemed to have seen the Demon King. The young Electric-type Pokémon hid in their parents' arms, trembling in fear.
It seemed this child had caused trouble all around.
Finally, Qing Wu reached the entrance of the seawater pressurization area. Qing Wu said to Electabuzz, "Do you want to be my Pokémon?"
Electabuzz nodded like crazy, eager to become Qing Wu's Pokémon.
"Then go, Poké Ball!" Qing Wu threw out a Great Ball, which hit Electabuzz's head. The Great Ball shook twice, then went out.
"Welcome, my family, Electabuzz." Qing Wu picked up the Poké Ball and said gently to the Poké Ball.
