The sun was shining brightly and it was a perfect day for traveling.

Route 15, fishing pontoon.

An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a small bench, concentrating on the buoys floating up and down on the water. The shiny fishing rod in his hand looked like it was not a bargain, but the bucket next to him was empty. It seemed that today There was no gain.

Minato sat on the ground behind the old man, slowly controlling the airflow in his body to circulate throughout his body. Next to it is Bulbasaur lying lazily, trying hard to absorb the energy of the sun to neutralize the excess water energy in its body. Unlike the Swamp Monster, which can directly drive these energies, it must undergo such transformation to effectively improve its energy level.

Suddenly, the buoy on the water sank, and the old man stood up and pulled the fishing rod with a happy face. The prey caught this time seemed to be quite big. The fishing line was stretched straight and the fishing rod was almost bent at 90 degrees!

When other people on the pontoon saw such a movement, they gathered around and saw the old man holding the fishing rod tightly with both hands. He grasped the moment when the prey relaxed and threw it out of the water with all his strength!

A thousand-needle fish broke out of the water, still holding the bait in its mouth and refusing to let go. After being thrown into the air by the old man, his body swelled up like a balloon, and densely packed poisonous needles were ready to go!

The faces of the onlookers turned pale and they quickly began to flee in a hurry. The poisonous needles of the Thousand Needle Fish are extremely poisonous and shoot from 360 degrees without blind spots. They did not expect that they would encounter such an unlucky thing while watching the excitement.

The old man saw that what he caught was not a fish but a Pokémon. He thought he had caught a big prey and was extremely disappointed. Others fled in a hurry, but he didn't care, wondering if he should change positions...

Seeing that Thousand Needlefish was about to attack, Minato, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, thought in his mind. Bulbasaur's eyes opened slightly, and the dark green vine whip roared out, and in the blink of an eye, Thousand Needlefish was drawn back into the water!

It was like a bomb was thrown into the water, it exploded and set off layers of waves! Until the ripples subsided, the Thousand Needle Fish never surfaced again...

With such a big commotion, all the fish must have run away. The old man looked at Minato complainingly and took his tools to find a good seat again.

Minato stood up, patted his butt and called Bulbasaur to follow him quickly. After all, protecting this old man was his current mission.

This is a famous fishing holy land. The special geographical location makes it full of fish. It has a beautiful environment and rich resources. Of course, there are also many elves living here.

Some people simply like fishing but often catch elves. Just like the old man who is protected by Minato, he has no ability to protect himself when facing angry elves, so there are a large number of protection tasks issued to those who have the ability to train. Home.

This kind of task not only pays well, but also requires very little work. After all, fishing is a time-consuming task and the probability of accidentally catching an elf is not high.

With his record as a two-star trainer and four badges, he easily got one of the tasks with the best conditions and rewards, which was to personally protect this old man, Mr. Xiangwu.

The old man is not a wealthy man, but his family has no worries about food and clothing. As he gets older, his only hobby is fishing. With rich experience and superb skills, he is the vice chairman of the National Association of Fishing Enthusiasts. Every year at this time, I come to Route 15 to stay for a month, and the association helps pay for expenses such as hiring.

Minato was happy to have such a leisurely job. He spent most of his time doing his own thing. The old man occasionally caught two elves and could stretch his muscles. He got off work on time as soon as the sky darkened. If the old man hadn't only stayed here for a month, Minato would have stayed here and never left...

Thanks to this leisurely job, Minato had enough time to think about his own problems. It has been more than half a year since the trip from Zhenxin Town. Even if he only planned to train an elite team to participate in next year's conference, Minato has already tamed eleven elves, even if he does not count the circle bears given by his father. and the crystal lantern fire spirit that cannot be used at all, and the remaining nine elves are also very good.

Each has its own characteristics.

It's a lot of work to get familiar with these elves one by one and bring out their maximum strength, such as the stinky mud, the big-mouthed bat, and the big rock snake that were conquered later. The series of events that Minato encountered left him no time to focus on them. Train one by one.

In normal battles, the elves rely more on their own rich experience. Although they are strong, they can easily be defeated one by one by their opponents, so the value of the trainer is reflected here.

Now Minato does not have the time or opportunity to train and fight with the elves one by one to develop tactics, but it is still possible to roughly understand the status of the elves through data.

Comparing only among the nine elves, the one with the highest level now is Swampert, who is full of luck. The large amount of energy obtained from the moon jellyfish has greatly improved his level through evolution, surpassing Nidoking in one fell swoop! Then came Nidoking, the newly conquered Big Rock Snake, and the Stinky Mud that was conquered in Golden City. Bulbasaur, who also benefited from the ruins, had not fully absorbed the energy, and was ranked next to the Electric Shock Beast and the Giant Needle Bee. Together, the last one is the Big Mouth Bat and the Wind Chime Bell.

But this is only a temporary ranking now. There are still ten months left before the Quartz Conference. The strength of Nidoking and Smelly Mud has been honed over time from countless battles. In ten months, unless they encounter something like this Otherwise, Swampert's chances won't be much improved.

As long as Bulbasaur and Electric Shock Beast digest the energy accumulated in their bodies, they will naturally be able to leap to a higher level. The two elves Minato, Big Rock Snake and Big Mouth Bat, can also be greatly improved as long as they are prepared to help them evolve again...

Strength and potential are just a part of it. Minato can't just let someone play based on their strength, attributes, tactics, and venue. . There is much more knowledge in a battle than imagined.

For example, Bulbasaur, before it evolved, Minato planned to use it as a turret for training. Skill power, physical fitness, stamina, etc. were the key points. But reality and ideals are always far apart. After so many joint battles, Minato realized that speed, which he ignored, was truly crucial to a turret...

Bulbasaur's striking surface without the chlorophyll characteristic acceleration is not good enough. If you want to take on the role of a turret, you can only use strengthening skills such as growth. Unfortunately, its own speed limits the strengthening environment in battle, so compared to the turret It is more suitable to play the role of a shield, parasitic seed, hypnotic powder, billions of absorption and protection. . These skills will be much more effective when combined with its already excellent defensive physical strength.

Another example is the Giant Needle Bee, because it was already in its final form as soon as Minato acquired it, so its positioning has always been clear. The attack and speed are good. The key is to be able to learn the two practical strengthening skills of high-speed movement and sword dance. After seizing the opportunity to strengthen, it will have a strong breakthrough ability. It is a good choice to quickly clear the field or break the opponent's shield. When encountering difficult opponents, you can also use skills such as Tosu, Poisonous Ling, Downwind, and Reckless to fight guerrillas.

As for other things, Nidoking has an extremely terrifying strike surface and its own excellent melee ability. There is nothing more suitable for the role of turret than Nidoking. The Big Mouth Bat has excellent physical strength and defense, and its poison flying attribute has extremely excellent resistance. , coupled with the speed it is best at, the role of high-speed shield is extremely difficult.

Putting aside everything else, it takes a lot of effort to figure out the positioning and tactics suitable for the elves one by one, as well as their strength, potential, and possibilities in battle. . Minato must consider all aspects of the problem to truly hone his team!

"Mr. Xiangwu, that's it for today." Minato saw that the sky was getting dark and stood up to say goodbye to the old man.

"Oh, it's already reached this point... Well, it seems that there is no harvest today. Let's meet at the same time and place tomorrow." The old man thumped his waist and put away the fishing rod, and said to Minato with a smile. Don't. He was quite satisfied with Minato, who was responsible for protecting him this year. Young people often couldn't stand boredom, but Minato could sit still for a long time without disturbing his fishing or delaying the resolution of trouble.

The person in charge of the Elf Center will pay the remuneration directly to Minato's trainer card, so Minato left very easily. The work during the day is over, and the real excitement is at night...
