The next two days after Pidgeotto's evolution went by calmly the only major progress being that Mothra successfully learned Whirlwind without actually trying to do it.
I had to chuckle a bit when that happened. I really tried to not laugh at the face Butterfree made when Mothra managed to learn the move he was trying to learn before him without actively trying to do so.
I naturally helped him get over the shock, which thankfully was easy since we all were partially used to the brokenness that is Mothra's talent. Then on Palkiday before lunch, another good thing happened.
While I was checking everyone's status to assess their progress, I saw that Nyx had firmly stepped into the (high) bronze stage. All her paraters had reached the C-value, with her agility even reaching the B-value.
Weight training was really helpful, so much so that I was seriously tempted to get myself a Pokemon that was able to learn the move Gravity. The only ones that could learn it on their own that I could sohow get with a lot of luck were Clefairy and Dusclops.
Thankfully, the Jigglypuff, Abra, Magnemite, Exeggcute, Chansey, and Staryu lines could be taught the move as well. So, once I found any of the aforentioned Pokemon with good potential I would definitely catch it for myself.
After lunch we went clubbing, to see the results of our training and to let off so steam. I allocated all my Pokemon to certain aliases depending on their type. The first club I visited was the Bug Club.
My alias for the Bug Club, ruem, was assigned Mothra, Butterfree, Queen Bee, as well as Weedle, and just as I had previously planned I had researched how rare a royal Butterfree were.
According to what I found, they were pretty rare, but not to the extent that I had to hide her. I found records of sightings in the wild, and 15 registered cases of trainers possessing one in Kanto alone.
Now, while that was actually still a pretty low number, Butterfree, at least the royal gene version, were not as popular as the royal Pokemon (starters) or pseudos.
What this ant for , was that those who would be a threat to us would not be interested in robbing us or could get one on their own. As for others, that was the reason I used an alias and a different get-up.
My identity would be safe from the general audience and I could either handle any cors myself or I could do a tactical retreat. Still, in the end, the only things she incited were so words of admiration and so questions where I found her, nothing else.
It was actually Lapras and my Magikarp that got greater attention from others, but more on that later. Due to my previous visits, ruem had already earned the second rank of the club, which was Bug Collector.
On top of that, his record had been 8 wins 0 losses, so he'd only needed 12 more wins in a row to advance to the next rank Bug Maniac. Still, because I did not plan to spend the whole day at the Bug Club I only participated in 4 battles to give everyone the chance to fight twice.
After Mothra's first battle I was surprisingly approached by Kinji or how he liked to be called Samurai. He jovially greeted and asked how I was.
We simply talked for a bit exchanging so stories. I obviously did not go into any details but still ntioned so things that I thought were interesting.
From him, I learned that he had already reached the fifth rank, Bug Lord, which was equal to the ACE-Class, and that he was working on becoming a Bug Duke.
After hearing that, I thanked everything holy that he only used his tapod during our battle. Its evolution was definitely a heavenly reward for him for going easy on . Yup, definitely.
Anyway, he asked for so info on Mothra, more specifically where I got her. I went with the truth, kinda. I told him that I t her by pure chance, which is true.
Concerning the place, I said that I t her in Viridian Forest, which is technically correct as well since Hope Town was located on the outskirts of the Viridian Forest.
I then gave him an area that he could look into to see if he could find one as well. This was also true because that was the area multiple sources ntioned seeing a royal Butterfree at during my research.
After I told Samurai that he asked which species I liked more Joltik or Karrablast. I thought for a bit before choosing Joltik and that had nothing to do with the fact that I thought they looked cute.
After receiving my answer Samurai described a location he ca across during his retreat in Viridian Forest where a lot of mbers of the Joltik-line lived. I noted that info down, maybe I would make use of it soday. After that talk, I finished the other fights and left for the next club.
Still, before I entered the Water Club I changed out of the Bug Catcher-like outfit I had worn and changed into my fisher-like outfit. Obviously, both outfits had masks and hats.
The alias I used for the Water Club was Jinbe, and all my current water types were assigned to this alias. Unfortunately, I had not participated in any battles at the Water Club before, so Jinbe was still at the first rank Beach Goer. He had not a single victory to his na.
Roughly 98% of the Beach Goers were Rookies, while the other 2% were strong newcors that had yet to rank up. What this ant was that nearly all my opponents had iron-stage Pokemon. Furthermore, battles between all Beach Goers (and their equivalent) were 1 vs 1.
Against and my Pokemon that translated to fast and easy battles. We actually had to hold back enough to not end the fights too quickly, since we did not want to destroy anyone's confidence, too much.
I had noticed that it seed to be sothing that everyone who was part of the strong 2% did. As if it was so kind of unspoken rule to not utterly crush the regular Beach Goers, sothing I fully supported.
I had 8 water types with only Remoraid being at the iron stage, so for everyone else, this was more like a chance to show off. Now, I knowingly had been giving out a feeling of being slightly cold and unapproachable but definitely not edgy, since I entered the club as Jinbe.
I did this in preparation for the reveal of my many variant Magikarp and Lapras, hoping that it would keep most from approaching . I actually participated in 16 fights so that everyone could fight twice.
After the 15th battle I ranked up to Swimr, and because of that, the 16th battle was 2 vs 2. I had left that for Lapras second fight and she swept the opponent's Pokemon on her own.
Water Absorb in the Water Club was quite unfair as long as the foe did not learn moves of other types. Stronger trainers naturally made sure their Pokemon had not only water-type moves, but for most Rookies aka Beach Goers, this was not the case.
Now, as one could imagine by the fact that I managed to participate in 16 battles, all of them except for Remoraid's were really short, not that those took long but compared to the others that took less than 1 minute they could be considered lengthy.
What about not destroying their confidence you might ask, but to that, I say less than a minute is still better than getting beaten in one or two moves. The only exception was Stan's first opponent that one we took down in 3 moves.
During the first two battles, I used Stan and after those fights, I learned that there was sothing enjoyable in beating people with sothing they underestimated especially a Magikarp.
The first trainer we fought against seed to be so rich boy, and since I did not want to judge him based on stereotypes I ignored that. When he called out a Spheal I just gave a slight impressed nod since Walrein were really strong and the Spheal-line was not common.
However, after he started talking shit upon seeing Stan he landed on my sh*t list and it had nothing to do with his financial status. Underestimating him would have been alright. I an he's a Magikarp so that much is to be expected.
I would have ignored it in that case, but that guy started saying things like why are you using this waste of a Pokemon against . He called Stan useless, weak, and wastemon.
Even his Spheal seed to look down on us, at least the Spheal just expressed its feelings through its stance but kept quiet otherwise. Nonetheless, I saw and felt Stan's anticipation and excitent turn to sadness at being insulted, which made mad.
I was mad at the guy but also at myself. I should have talked to all my Magikarp of the possibility of trainers doing that, either because they really thought that, like the young master look-alike, or to rile us up.
It was too late for that now, but I quickly comforted Stan per telepathy and told him we were going to teach that guy a lesson. No need to give them any courtesy ti.
After that Stan used Aqua Jet to move below Spheal. Then he used a Hydro Pump to hurl it up and followed behind it with a Bounce. He used his Bounce to slam Spheal into the ceiling before he gracefully landed back inside the pool.
Spheal plopped back a few seconds later as well. It was naturally knocked out but not seriously hard, since we didn't want to hurt it just teach the trainer Pokemon pair a lesson about underestimating any species.
Ok, it was more about underestimating my Magikarp, but it was still a valuable lesson. That whole sequence took less than 10 seconds and yo ma, which is what I was going to call all young masters from now on, had an incredulous look as if he could not believe what he had seen.
It turned into pure disbelief and then gaping fish look when the referee declared us as the winners. The next one was not impolite even if he seed to be disappointed at having to fight a Magikarp, so we gave him the grace minute before beating his Pokemon.
For the next two fights I used dusa, and sowhere around that ti, my opponents seed to have heard about my Magikarp being strong. That was further strengthened when I kept pulling out different-looking Magikarps (variants).
Still, my behavior was enough to keep others from approaching with questions even if I felt the curiosity of many of my opponents, and they were not alone. I felt the sa curiosity in many others in the lobby.
Well, or at least it was enough for them to restrain themselves until I pulled out the 5th variant. After that, so could not hold back anymore and approached in the lobby to ask where I got them.
I told them that it was a mixture of luck, hard work, and a lot of ti, which was all true. Still, they thought I ant I looked everywhere for them and that for a long ti before I got lucky enough to catch them, which suited just fine.
The fact that they could actually find variants that way of so of them tried it was true as well, so everything was fine in my books. I received a lot of pretty good offers for them, but I obviously declined all of them.
Yet, this showed that I could in the far off future sell off so of the less than good descendants (light green potential and below) under the right circumstances for a pretty penny.
I naturally would make sure the buyer was not an a**hole, but that much should be easy with my aura and psionic abilities. My answer satisfied everyone's curiosity and they left alone afterward.
At least they did until I pulled out Lapras during our 15th battle. I had purposefully used her last so that I could skedaddle after her two fights. Still, after her first battle, I once more got sward in the lobby.
I told them that I got her from a migrating school weeks ago and declined all offers. I told them I saw them far out the coast of Coast City and that the pod was long gone, which was all true. They would never find the Lapras if they looked there and I told them as much.
However, I still saw so people leave the club after I answered the question. Anyway, I went to the registry and upgraded my mber's rank, before signing up for my first battle as a Swimr. After Lapras won that one as well after a moderately tough battle I got out of the club.
Once I walked a distance I entered a public toilet and called out Xatu so that he could teleport us away. At our next stop, I entered my space and changed into my regular outdoor clothing, before I asked Xatu to bring ho.
The reason for that cautious behavior was that it was a new exposure, where people's curiosity was the highest so I decided to act like that as a small precaution.
