Chapter 95 The Berserk Slowbro
Chapter 95 The Berserk Slowbro
"The giant tongue clam didn't choose the little one as I wanted, but instead went to the subspecies area."
"...You, you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai had a general understanding of the situation.
Slowpoke is a Pokémon that needs to be parasitized by another Pokémon to evolve.
That's a giant tongue clam.
This giant tongue clam may seem ordinary, but it is quite rare in this world.
They have always been impossible to raise artificially.
They only occasionally appear in the secluded realms of the deep sea or lakes.
In short, this elf is not easy to find.
"Are there any subspecies with poisonous properties in the manor?"
"Yes, there are some, but not many."
Because the tail of the subspecies Slowpoke is very spicy, it's a flavor that some people prefer.
Therefore, the number of animals raised on the estate is very small.
The boss had lost interest in continuing the conversation.
The daughter wanted the wrong Pokémon to evolve into; her Shellder bit a subspecies of Slowpoke.
Now he has no choice but to find a large tongue clam for his daughter.
But for Ye Kai, it was actually good news.
A poison-type Pokémon is right in front of you.
The girl kept throwing tantrums and was quite difficult to deal with.
She cried and made a scene.
Zhao Qian and Wang Xiaoting, who were just listening in, didn't say much.
"I'm interested in that Dumbshell Beast, could you sell it to me?"
Ye Kai stated his needs directly.
Galar Slowbro is a Poison/Psychic-type Pokémon.
Both its tankiness and attributes met his expectations.
Furthermore, this guy can learn fire-type moves such as Flamethrower and Flamethrower.
Once you get your hands on it, you can form a powerful fighting force!
Upon hearing this, the boss was momentarily stunned, then beamed with joy.
“Okay, according to the market price, a subspecies of Slowpoke costs 330 million, which is calculated based on the revenue generated from cutting off its tail over 3 years.”
"Then there's Shellder, which is basically worth around 95."
He listed a whole host of prices as if they were his own.
"Without Shellder, Dumbo can't evolve. Let's find another one!!"
The girl wouldn't let it go.
"Honey, clams aren't like cabbages. Where am I supposed to find them in such a short time?"
This boss is also having a lot of headaches.
"I don't care, if I don't have Shellder, then I want other Pokémon!"
"Wait a minute, if we calculate it like this, then there's no point in negotiating. There are huge numbers of wild Slowpokes in the reserve; catching just one wouldn't cost this much."
"At least let me check on that elf first."
Ye Kai interrupted the father and daughter's conversation.
Although he had some money, he didn't just let the other party quote whatever they wanted.
"Okay, then come with me."
"Hey, Lingyin, this is a business negotiation for you, so please be quiet for a while."
After hearing what her father said, the girl could only hold back and stop making a fuss for the time being.
The group followed the owner into the Mountain Wind Manor.
This place not only houses a large number of Slowpoke, but also Tauros and Miltank!
The area in the manor where the elves gather has a rather strong smell.
It smells a bit pungent.
Then, in the corner, lies the dwelling place of the Slowpoke subspecies.
Their eyes are full of wisdom, they are completely at ease, they eat and sleep, and sleep and eat.
Or they just space out.
It stands out among these elves, being the only one that can stand upright on two legs.
It was that newly evolved Slowbro.
Although it often spaced out, it would occasionally become agitated, raising its arm with a shell attached to it to attack other Slowpokes.
It is quite ruthless, often leaving the surrounding Slowpokes covered in wounds.
Fortunately, the Slowpokes are naturally tough and resilient, so they managed to withstand the strain.
Ye Kai moved closer, using the Cross Bat to protect himself.
In case this seemingly dull-witted elf suddenly goes berserk and attacks him.
The girl named Rinne became immediately interested when she saw the pink cross-bat.
When you get close, Slowbro's attribute panel appears.

No wonder...
Ye Kai looked around and found that most of the pet Pokémon had either an E or D aptitude, with very few having a C aptitude.
No wonder the giant tongue clam chose to bite it.
It can be considered that it has chosen a relatively powerful symbiotic host.
The inherited skill of abdominal bulging is not bad.
This move can instantly boost physical attack power to the extreme by reducing stamina by half, making it an extremely powerful skill!
He observed that all of these Slowpokes knew this move, so they probably all came from the same father.
Slowbro eats Elf Food, not Energy Cubes, yet it can grow to nearly 2 meters in size, making it quite a tyrant here.
It is estimated that it is quite possessive of its food.
The Slowpokes around it were a little afraid of it and consciously kept their distance.
Ye Kai observed carefully but found nothing wrong.
"So, are you satisfied with what you've seen?"
"How about 270 million? If it's possible, I'll get this Pokémon."
He wanted to negotiate the price down.
Zhao Qian and Wang Xiaoting didn't say anything; they just looked at each other.
If you could cut off its tail, over the years, Slowpoke would definitely be worth more than this.
But that applies to farmers.
That wouldn't work for an ordinary person, especially since the Dumbshell Beast doesn't have a tail to cut off; it's being bitten by snails and shellfish!
Even in the subspecies, few people eat that spicy tail.
Moreover, it doesn't taste as good as the degenerated Slowpoke.
The two sides were still haggling over the price.
The Dumbshell Beast happened to be in a frenzy again, and it lifted the snail shell to shoot out venom.
This strike was incredibly powerful.
The purple venomous water shot out like a high-pressure water cannon, but was blocked by the Crossbat's protective shield.
"No, these are all real costs. If we can't reach an agreement, I'd rather not sell."
The shop owner was clearly a shrewd businessman; he could tell at a glance that Ye Kai was a Pokémon trainer obsessed with battles.
The goal of coming here is very clear: to obtain a subspecies of Slowpoke.
Encountering a Slowbro was an unexpected delight.
It's already good that he didn't use this as an excuse to raise prices.
After saying this, he prepared to take action, intending to put the disobedient Slowbro back into its Poké Ball.
Each of the Pokémon kept in the manor has a corresponding Poké Ball.
However, there are too many of them, hundreds or thousands.
So they are usually left to their own devices.
Finding the Poké Ball for a specific Pokémon is like finding a needle in a haystack.
It seems they realized that doing so was too troublesome.
"No matter what, let me subdue it first, otherwise if this elf goes berserk, it will be a considerable loss to the manor."
"..."
The boss tacitly agreed with Ye Kai's statement and nodded.
"Crossbat, trick!"
Slowbro sensed Crobat's fighting spirit and immediately used Belly Drum.
Goodness, this guy isn't stupid at all!
"Direct Shadow Ball!"
Something incredible happened.
Slowbro was even faster than Crobat, leaping high into the air and slamming its shell-like arm directly at Crobat.
Unfortunately, striking first doesn't mean it's faster than Crobat, especially since its level is also lower than Crobat's.
The Crobat dodged the incredibly powerful arm-shaped weapon it was using.
Then a Shadow Ball shot sent Slowbro flying.
It was hit so hard it saw stars.
"Double gas, use smoke! Keep the area small, just enough to cover it up."
Soon the Slowpoke fell into a deep sleep.
They won't be making a fuss for a while.
This is a negotiation strategy.
Take the first step to show your sincerity; I want to buy it, it just depends on whether you're willing to compromise.
Negotiations between the two sides have once again reached a stalemate.
The boss still refused to lower the price.
"How about this, if you can offer a Pokémon that my daughter would like, you can trade it for this Slowbro."
The boss shared his thoughts.
