Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Furthermore, as I thought about it, I realized that the underground river's elevation seemed to have increased significantly!

Looking down into the underground river, you can see countless giant tongue clams!

It's spectacular to see so many Slowpokes fishing for so many Shellders.

It is likely due to the heavy rains in Huipi Town that caused the underground river to swell.

The rising water level attracted even more giant tongue shellfish.

At this moment, many large tongue shells are swimming happily in the river.

At first, I was a little worried that there would be too many Slowpokes and not enough to go around.

Because Slowpoke's evolution is very special, a Shellder evolves into a Slowpoke.

It seems I was overthinking things.

I looked up at the sky through the skylight and saw countless twinkling stars.

The Slowpokes underground also began to emit light from time to time.

Slowpokemon continue to evolve into Slowbro.

The light between heaven and earth echoed each other.

......

The next morning, people stood early at the Slowpoke Well, looking at it with some nervousness.

The students from Haruno Middle School were among them.

"Don't worry, Yu Zhifu, your Slowpoke will definitely evolve!"

"Well, I've only had my Slowpoke for a few months. Based on the probability of previous years, the evolution rate is probably only around 10%."

"My Slowpoke might be in serious trouble!"

Yu Zhifu said with some concern.

"Do you know who's sitting in the well right now? It's Brother Xiang!!"

"I have confidence in my Slowpoke and in Brother Xiang's strengths!"

Zhu Dada patted Yu Zhifu on the shoulder and said.

"Ok!"

Yu Zhifu nodded, still looking at the Well of the Dumb Beast with some worry.

As the final part of the Slowpoke Festival, it is the welcoming and sending off of Slowbro. In the eyes of the people of Azalea Town, Slowbro, which evolves from Slowpoke, can bring blessings and good luck to people, and the more Slowbro there are, the more blessings they will receive.

Therefore, every year someone will be assigned to count the number of Slowpokes.

"I wonder how many Slowbros will evolve this time."

"Based on the average of previous years, about 10% of Slowbros can evolve into Slowbros on rainless days."

"Rainy days can increase the evolution rate by five percent."

"Based on yesterday's rainfall, the evolution rate should reach approximately twenty percent."...

"Yesterday, there were roughly three or four hundred Slowpokes."

"The appearance of eighty Slowbros is quite remarkable."

"But it's hard to say."

The Iron Master stood in the crowd, looking at the Slowpoke Well, his words somewhat uncertain.

The scene from yesterday left a very deep impression on them.

Even a hundred Slowpokes wouldn't be impossible.

I wonder what's going on down in the Slowpoke Well.

......

At this moment, Bian Xiang stared blankly at the dense swarm of Dumbshell Beasts in front of him.

"Dumbshell~"

The group of Slowpokes stared blankly, lost in thought.

Evolution did not bring them much wisdom.

Although they evolved from four-legged creatures to upright ones.

But his eyes still looked so simple and honest.

I was startled when I woke up this morning.

Last night, while I was idly counting how many Silly Beasts I had, I fell asleep while counting.

This thing is similar to counting sheep, plus the eyes of the Slowpoke.

It's a sleep aid miracle.

He looked at the dazed beasts surrounding him.

Eyes wide open.

"Dumbshell~~"

The Slowpoke suddenly moved.

They all bowed to the side.

Through the passage, I vaguely sensed their thoughts.

Thank you! Thank you for saving them and guiding them forward.

Then they walked in a line toward the passage.

Outside the Silly Beast Well.

"Come out, come out."

Upon seeing the first Slowpoke appear, they all started counting without prior agreement.

Before long, eighty Slowpokes emerged from the Slowpoke Well.

"He's already eighty!"

There are so many Slowbro evolutions this time!!

“In previous years, there were usually only ten or so, and in better years there could be around twenty.”

"That's because in previous years there were only about a hundred Slowpokes."

"Didn't you see it during your live stream yesterday? The streets of Azalea Town were packed with Slowpokes like a tidal wave, there were at least four hundred of them."

"However, having eighty is still a very good number."

For most wild Pokémon, evolution is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Yu Zhifu's eyes were somewhat dim; he knew that the further he went, the less hope he had.

Even now, Yu Zhifu still hasn't seen his Slowpoke.

"Don't worry, look, the Slowpokes are still popping up one after another. Trust Brother Xiang!"

Inside the Slowpoke Well, one can see Slowbro lined up in rows.

More than eighty head just went out, and there are still more than one hundred left...

Chapter 123 The Slowpoke Festival Ends

"

Then it spread to the surrounding crowd.

As the father looked around in the crowd, he felt an immense sense of pride; this was his own child!

......

On the bus back to Kikyo City.

While looking out the window, I thought about the scenery.

There was a beautifully wrapped box on his lap.

The box was already open, and inside were six Poké Balls of different shapes.

This is the Poké Ball handmade by the Steel Master.

Each Poké Ball has a market price of approximately 100,000.

The value of a complete set would likely be even higher.

The Steel Master told him it was a souvenir from the Slowpoke Festival.

Saying you won't accept it means you're disrespecting him. Do you hate the Slowpoke Festival? Do you dislike the residents of Azalea Town? Do you never want to come to Azalea Town again?

This is just a small token of his appreciation! If you don't even accept this, it's an insult to him!

Since he's already said that, I had no choice but to accept it.
