Chapter 32: Shangguan Chuang's Second Elf

"Do you know what I'm thinking about now?" Shangguan Chuang looked at Zi Mu who was lost in thought, smiled wickedly, and asked.

"What are you doing?" Zi Mu felt a little numb from being stared at by Shangguan Chuang. He quickly took the incubator of the Meely sheep into his arms and glared at Shangguan Chuang, "I'm warning you. I spent a lot of effort to get this Meely sheep. Don't even think about it!"

Shangguan Chuang rolled his eyes at Zi Mu with disdain, opened his Pokémon Encyclopedia, and shared a Pokémon with Zi Mu: "You know Lantern Fish, right? I want a high-quality Lantern Fish as my second Pokémon. Lantern Fish are not expensive anyway, so I plan to cast a wide net and selectively catch them."

Zi Mu thought about it for a moment, and suddenly realized something. He looked at Shangguan Chuang with a strange look in his eyes. Finally, he curled his lips helplessly, gave Shangguan Chuang a thumbs up, and said, "You are amazing."

Lanternfish is a relatively weak Pokémon with both water and electric attributes. Its race stat of 330 is not bad in the initial stage, but it can only evolve once, and its race stat after evolution is only 460, which may be a bit weak in the later stages.

"Hehe." Shangguan Chuang scratched his head with a nasty smile on his face.

"I think it's pretty good, but I suggest you don't spend your energy on the lantern fish." Zi Mu spread his hands and said seriously, "Although storing electricity and water can give you an absolute advantage when facing water and electric elves, it is too limited after all."

The most outstanding feature of Lantern Fish is its ability to store electricity and water. This feature can completely ignore water and electric skills. If it encounters a Pokémon with a single attribute, it can be said to take a completely active position.

"Why?" Shangguan Chuang saw Zi Mu reject his idea and said with some dissatisfaction, "If there is a lantern fish that can store electricity, then the electric-type Pokémon that poses the greatest threat to me will be helpless, right?"

"What will you do when facing a Grass-type Pokémon? Both of your Pokémon will be crushed." Zi Mu stared at Shangguan Chuang calmly and said slowly, "Don't tell me you want to choose a Fire-type Pokémon as the third one to target."

"Why not? I really want to choose another fire elf, wouldn't that make me a crushing opponent?" Shangguan Chuang felt a little unconfident after hearing what Zi Mu said. After all, his academic performance was really poor, and he came to this idea after checking a lot of information.

Zi Mu shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly at Shangguan Chuang's simple brain. There was nothing he could do since he was his brother after all, so he had better point out a clear way.

"You can avoid being targeted by choosing a fire-type Pokémon. But similarly, the opponent's three Pokémon can also avoid being targeted. You will only be playing a game of rock-paper-scissors with the opponent." Zi Mu touched his chin, and his mind was spinning rapidly. After a while, he gave an example, "And if you encounter a desert dragonfly, your lantern fish will not only fail to restrain it, but will even be counter-restrained. If two of your Pokémon are water-attributed, it would be better to have one grass, one water, and one fire. Although the grass type is not immune to the electric type, it can reduce half of the damage of the electric type."

"Hmm..." Shangguan Chuang was confused and asked weakly, "Then what do you think I should choose? I don't want to be a master of the three royal families."

The "Master of the Three Pokémons" does not mean that all Pokémons are the Three Pokémons, but specifically refers to trainers with the attributes of water, fire, and grass. Although the lineup is balanced, it is mediocre...

"Your Squirtle is a pure water-type Pokémon, but it's twice as weak to grass and electric. It's actually very simple. You can just choose a single ice-type Pokémon. This is the most appropriate way." Zi Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Go buy a Snow Boy egg, preferably a male one."

Snow boys are usually found in the ice field, and the Naigrin area is in the central plains, so you can only look for them in the breeding house.

"Well... OK, I'll go and take a look in the next two days." Shangguan Chuang still trusted Zi Mu. After all, his academic performance was really poor. Just thinking about the complicated subjects like attribute restraint gave him a headache.

"Ding Dong~" While the two were talking, there was a knock on Zi Mu's bedroom door.

"Xiao Huo, go open the door."

"Cha-pa!"

After receiving Zi Mu's instructions, the strong chicken sleeping nearby opened its eyes, pushed its legs forward, and jumped from the soft sofa to the floor.

"Hi~ Good afternoon! It's time to eat, everyone!"

Standing at the door was Su Xier, who was wearing a beige dress. Her cute appearance instantly attracted the attention of the two men.

......

"Zi Mu, how long will it take for your Mealy sheep to hatch?" Su Xier picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin made by Zi Mu with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed it, and exclaimed, "Oh! Zi Mu, the pork tenderloin you made is also delicious!"

"It should be soon. It should hatch today or tomorrow. Eat slowly. There's plenty. Haha."

Shangguan Chuang and the other two don't know how to cook, so the responsibility of cooking falls on the "chef" Zi Mu. Luckily, they bought some extra vegetables when they went buying furniture last time, so this is just the right time for Zi Mu to show off his cooking skills.

"It's really good. Let me praise you." Shangguan Chuang also picked up a piece of tenderloin, put it in his mouth and tasted it for a moment, and praised it generously.

"Oh, it's such an honor for me to be praised by Master Chuang!" Zi Mu glanced at Shangguan Chuang with disdain, and then looked at Shangguan Qi with anticipation as she picked up a piece of spicy fish and was about to put it in her mouth.

Shangguan Qi chewed a few mouthfuls, her pupils gradually dilated, and stars seemed to twinkle in her watery eyes. She looked at Zimu with admiration and said, "It's so delicious, Brother Zimu! Ahhhhhh! Brother Zimu is not only handsome, but also cooks delicious food. Looking at my good-for-nothing brother, I'm really worried that I won't have a sister-in-law in the future, woooo~"

"?"... "A few black lines appeared on Shangguan Chuang's head, but looking at his lovely sister, he really couldn't do anything about her.

"Hahahahaha, cough cough! Xier, where is your Pogamon?" After laughing a few times, Zi Mu pretended to cough seriously, turned around and asked.

"Ah?" Su Xier's hand that was picking up food stopped in mid-air after hearing Zi Mu's question. She answered a little embarrassedly, "It's probably too early for my Pogaman. It should take four or five days."
