Pokemon: Daily Intelligence Updates

Xia Mu was silent for a moment.

He hesitated internally, wondering if he should hand over the Pokémon to Long Xiao's granddaughter.

Skrelp poses a deadly risk of poisoning.

A child might not be able to handle it.

If Elder Long Xiao's granddaughter were to die, would he be responsible?

"Master Xia, are you facing any difficulties?" Elder Long Xiao asked softly.

He wondered if his request was too high, intimidating Xia Mu.

Xia Mu snapped back to reality and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Long Xiao, I do indeed have a Pokémon that meets your requirements."

"However," Xia Mu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to bring out the Pokémon.

"Is it a matter of insufficient funds or our lack of sincerity? You can voice any concerns you have."

Elder Long Xiao said anxiously.

Long Shu was his favorite granddaughter, and he had promised her that he would find a suitable Pokémon before her journey.

Now, as time passed and her journey was approaching, she still didn't have a suitable Pokémon.

If his granddaughter found out, how disappointed would she be?

He was anxious, extremely anxious.

If his granddaughter wanted other Dragon-type Pokémon, even a Jangmo-o, the pre-evolution of a Kommo-o, Long Xiao would send it without hesitation.

Even pseudo-legendaries like Dratini, Deino, and Goomy, he could trade resources to acquire from other regions.

But his granddaughter specifically wanted a Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon, which presented a challenge for Elder Long Xiao.

As everyone knew, currently, the only Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon were Dragalge and Naganadel.

The former had a violent temperament, unsuitable for novice trainers, while the latter was exceptionally rare, difficult to find, and also powerful, making both Poison-type Pokémon potentially unmanageable for Long Shu.

This thoroughly worried Long Xiao, who wanted to find a variant of Dragon-type Pokémon, preferably one that could mutate into a Poison-type.

After all, it was his granddaughter's wish.

He had originally just casually asked Xia Mu, but Xia Mu's expression just now revealed that he actually had a solution.

"Mr. Long Xiao, I know you're anxious, but please don't be."

Xia Mu waved his hand at Long Xiao.

"Mr. Long Xiao, once I release this Pokémon, you'll understand my hesitation."

"Come out, Skrelp."

Skrelp emerged from the Poké Ball.

It appeared energetic, filled with abundant Poison-type energy.

Skrelp roared towards the sky, emitting the cry of a young dragon, indicating its excellent health.

"Skrelp?"

Long Xiao hesitated for a moment, as if confirming something.

Suddenly, Elder Long Xiao's eyes widened.

"This is a Skrelp with Dragon-type bloodline, and a Shiny Pokémon at that!"

Elder Long Xiao was genuinely delighted.

"Hold on, Mr. Long Xiao, this Pokémon cannot be given to you just yet."

Xia Mu stopped Elder Long Xiao's movements.

"This Skrelp is not only a Blue Talent Pokémon but also a Shiny Pokémon."

Hearing this, Elder Long Xiao was somewhat puzzled: "Master Xia, are you afraid I can't afford the price? Or are you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Xia Mu smiled wryly: "Neither. I'm worried about your granddaughter being accidentally harmed by the Skrelp."

"After my assessment, this Skrelp possesses astonishing talent in Poison-type abilities."

"It was raised by a group of Grimer."

"The Grimer even specially created a highly poisonous pool for it."

"You can imagine how poisonous this Skrelp is."

"Its body contains potent toxins, and I fear it may be detrimental to your granddaughter."

"If I were to sell this Pokémon to you, we would have to sign an agreement stating that I have fulfilled my obligation to inform you of the risks."

With Xia Mu's words reaching this point, Elder Long Xiao began to hesitate.

Should he take this Skrelp or not?

Good Pokémon are fleeting, and Xia Mu would have no difficulty selling it.

If he hadn't had the whim to visit Xia Mu today, he wouldn't have received this information.

He was also concerned about his granddaughter's safety, but abandoning such a precious Pokémon made Elder Long Xiao unwilling.

This Pokémon, which had awakened the Dragon-type bloodline, could also be acquired by his family, and perhaps even more Dragon-type Skrelp could be cultivated.

"Moreover, Mr. Long Xiao, there's something I need to tell you."

"As you just said, this Skrelp is indeed not cheap, and you need to consider it carefully."

Long Xiao certainly understood what Xia Mu meant. A Shiny Blue Talent Skrelp that had awakened the Dragon-type bloodline was indeed not cheap.

The combination of these three factors made it comparable to, or even more valuable than, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

This was still a bit of a heartache for the wealthy Long family.

"Of course, I'm also willing to accept a trade."

"For example, the Long family could provide resources for Jangmo-o."

Xia Mu's meaning was clear. He wanted to obtain enough resources to nurture a Jangmo-o through Long Xiao.

And this Jangmo-o was the descendant of Elder Long Xiao's main Pokémon, so the resources provided would naturally be top-notch.

"No problem, I'll cover all the resources from Jangmo-o's evolution to Kommo-o."

If it was purely a matter of resources, that would be much simpler.

Therefore, Dragon-type Pokémon sold externally were relatively expensive, but the Long family had a dedicated Dragon's Den, and the Dragon-type natural treasures grown there were twice as cheap as the market price.

The resources from nurturing a Jangmo-o to a Kommo-o seemed like an astronomical figure, but for the Long family, it was still within an acceptable range.

"We still need to sign the disclaimer and agreement."

"But are you really sure there won't be any problems?"

Xia Mu asked again, still not at ease.

"There won't be any problems."

A girl dressed in Gothic attire pushed the door open and entered. She was Long Shu herself.

"Long Shu, why are you here?"

Elder Long Xiao glared at the bodyguard beside him, seemingly blaming him for revealing his whereabouts to Long Shu.

"Grandpa, I really like this Skrelp."

Long Shu carefully examined the Skrelp.

Skrelp also looked up at Long Shu at this moment.

Suddenly, a light appeared in its eyes.

This was also what Xia Mu found amazing.

Not only had Long Shu taken a liking to Skrelp, but Skrelp had also taken a liking to Long Shu. The bond between Pokémon and trainer had been established!

Skrelp tried its best to restrain the Poison-type energy on its body, cautiously approaching Long Shu.

In the eyes of both the person and the Pokémon, there was only each other.

This really made Xia Mu exclaim at the wonder of it all.

"Master Xia, can I buy this Skrelp?"

Long Shu turned to look at Xia Mu.

"Of course, there's no problem. If you like it, this Skrelp is your Pokémon."

"However, as I said just now, I need to sign a disclaimer and agreement before I can sell this Skrelp to you."

"Also, do you need to hire me as your professional breeder? Bring me Galarica every week, and I'll check its growth and development."

"I can also create energy cube recipes suitable for Galarica."

Long Shu considered it for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I'll hire you as my exclusive breeder."

"The price is negotiable. I only have one requirement: to tailor a professional breeding plan for Galarica."

Another large sum of money was coming in, and Xia Mu was in an excellent mood.

"No problem. As long as you have needs, including your other Pokémon, I can help you tailor-make breeding plans."

Long Shu shook her head. Although she knew Xia Mu's level in the research field was not low, and he was also good at healing, the field of Pokémon breeding required extremely high talent and experience.

So she wanted to use Galarica to test the waters first.

After confirming that Galarica was indeed well-bred, Long Shu would let Xia Mu help her breed the remaining Pokémon.

"Xia Mu, the resources for Jangmo-o will be sent up every other week."

"I will also share some secrets within the family for breeding Jangmo-o, but one thing to note is that these secrets must not be leaked."

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

This solved Xia Mu's immediate need.

"No problem, thank you for Mr. Long Xiao's great help."

"Your granddaughter just got Galarica and should need some time to adapt."

"After my competition, I will personally visit you."

Long Xiao nodded and gave the bodyguard beside him a look.

The bodyguard took out a pure gold business card from the briefcase and handed it to Xia Mu.

"This is my personal business card. My phone number and private address are on it."

"Come and play often when you have time. I have many Dragon-type Pokémon with good qualifications there."

Old Master Long Xiao laughed twice and left with the bodyguard.

Long Shu put Galarica back into the Poké Ball and added Xia Mu on WeChat.

"If you have any good Pokémon, you can recommend them to me, but as a descendant of a Dragon-type family, I prefer Dragon-type Pokémon."

After Long Shu finished speaking, she turned and left.

Xia Mu received a large batch of resources, finally resolving the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

Beldum and Jangmo-o are money-guzzling beasts. One of the two generals has already left, and it shouldn't be long before the other leaves as well.

With his talent as a breeder, Xia Mu can fully realize the two-way rush of breeder and trainer.

If he can publish some high-quality papers, he probably won't have to worry for the rest of his life.

The round of sixteen competition began.

Xia Mu's opponent this time was an Electric-type trainer.

He was also considered a popular player in the Provincial Little Phoenix Cup.

His name is Li Lei.

"Hello, my name is Li Lei," Li Lei said very politely, like an obedient good student.

"Your name is Li Lei, then what is your relationship with Han Meimei?" Xia Mu thought of this meme.

Li Lei was stunned for a moment: "How do you know my deskmate? She clearly didn't participate in this competition."

Xia Mu:

There really is someone named Han Meimei.

What a coincidence.

"Xia Mu, I have studied your Pokémon."

"You basically don't have any Ground-type Pokémon, so your Pokémon will be restrained by my Pokémon."

Xia Mu: I don't, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense.

In fact, Xia Mu does have Ground-type Pokémon, but Mudkip was just born not long ago, so naturally, it's not good to go to the battlefield.

And Swampert is not his main Pokémon, and its level is extremely high. Sending out Swampert would be bullying the small with the big, making people suspect that he is cheating.

"Come out, Magneton."

Magneton was released from the Poké Ball.

[Pokémon Name: Magneton]

[Gender: Genderless]

[Potential: Green]

[Characteristic: Levitate]

[Level: 30]

[Type: Electric + Steel]

[Skills: Thunderbolt (Proficient), Thunder Wave (Proficient), Electric Terrain (Proficient), Metal Claw (Proficient), Spark (Proficient), Quick Attack (Proficient), Volt Switch (Proficient), etc.]

[Tutor Skills: Hyper Beam (Proficient), Flash Cannon (Proficient)]

[Evaluation: This Magneton has been subjected to the impact of electric current for many years, and its Electric-type skills will be stronger than ordinary Electric-type Pokémon.]

"Go, Houndoom."

Although Xia Mu doesn't have Ground-type Pokémon, Magneton is a Steel-type Pokémon, which is naturally restrained by Houndoom.

"Miscalculated."

Li Lei was a little annoyed.

He forgot that Xia Mu had a powerful Houndoom.

"But don't worry, my Magneton is very strong, good at paralysis, it can, it definitely can."

Li Lei began to comfort himself.

"Houndoom, Ember."

Houndoom opened its mouth, and sparks, like Gatling bullets, densely swept towards Magneton.

With a bang, a lot of black smoke came out of the air.

"No way, Houndoom killed Li Lei's Magneton with one hit?"

"This is a bit too dreamy."

"Yeah, and it's still Ember skill."

Every audience member present widened their eyes instantly, and they all felt like they were hallucinating.

"It seems that this Houndoom has very high qualifications."

The men in black in the audience made their own comments. They belonged to a large poaching organization.

They roamed to various regions, specializing in hunting some rare Pokémon.

"This person is called Xia Mu. He is very famous on the Internet. He is considered a million-dollar influencer, and he is also a breeder. He has also published many papers."

The man in black was holding a tablet and was checking Xia Mu's information.

"He is very good and can be considered for absorption into the organization."

"We are now saying goodbye to the era of fighting and killing. We must take the high-end route."

"Especially those wealthy businessmen, who can specially customize breeding Pokémon."

"After the competition is over, we will invite this little guy to join our organization."

"If he doesn't know what's good for him, we will take away all of his Pokémon, including him."

"We will use Pokémon to force him to submit."

The man in black said decisively.

After the smoke cleared, unexpectedly, Magneton was not killed.

At the critical moment, Magneton avoided the attack of Ember through the way of magnetic control.

It was extremely thrilling.

Everyone was wondering how long Magneton could last.

Just now, Houndoom's attack was enough to kill Magneton.
