Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Wang Jin is not sure about what other regions are like, but in the Galar region, the most trainers are stuck at the gym leader level (level 31~40).

Pokémon with average talent at level 30 or above can be forced to level up even with limited resources. It just takes several years.

During these years, some Pokémon with short lifespans, such as Bug-type Pokémon, may have grown old and started to decline in combat power before they could make any further progress.

An ordinary wilderness trainer, who carefully avoids battles every day, only collects some Dynamax Energy after the night ends, and captures some weak Pokémon to sell, and may barely be able to afford the daily needs of two Pokémon.

Without special berries and experience candies, it would probably take six or seven years for an ordinary young titmouse to grow to level 30 or above by eating low-level or medium-level energy blocks.

The life span of a young tit is only three years, and after evolving into a blue jay, it can live for ten years. It is even questionable whether it can reach level 38 and evolve again after it gets old. If it does not fight, it can live longer by eating and waiting to die every day, but this is impossible.

If you get hurt accidentally, that would be another serious problem.

Some trainers with decent talent spent two to three years training a Chickadee to gym leader level, and another one to two years training a Blue Jay to evolve. When it finally became a Steeljaw, its strength did increase significantly, but the potential of the Pokémon was basically exhausted. Without the basic evolution growth line to boost it, its strength stagnated.

Without background, money, and risk-taking, an ordinary wilderness trainer would never be able to reach the king level.

By the time these trainers grow old, they may have accumulated a lot of League Coins through continuous training and buying and selling of Pokémon, and will be able to train gym leader-level Pokémon stably, but that will be the end.

This is why Galar has so many Steelix taxis.

The main thing is, who would train a Steel Crow to the King level and still go out to solicit customers in the wild? It would be better to join the group and be a group dog.

Anyway, they are all used as transportation tools, and the treatment in the group is definitely better than soliciting passengers in the wild. And with Steelix's lifespan, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be enough to accompany the trainer until he dies of old age.

"It's so cool to be a group dog. It's so nice to have a regular job..." Wang Jin hugged the Catwoman who pounced on him and grabbed her head fiercely.

This time I went out on a mission and gained a lot, but there were also a lot of dangers. Fortunately, they have been basically resolved now.

The rotten sword and shield will be put in the backpack and collect dust for the time being. According to the plot, it will take several years for Ross to collect all the Gigantamax energy and revive Ultima.

Who knows what it will be like in a few years? If Wang Jin is still alive by then, he will at least be a champion-level trainer.

By then, you will have the strength and it will be convenient to do anything.

As for now...

“Boom!”

Haunter had just evolved, and was floating in the bedroom with the Dark Stone in his hand. After this evolution, his size had increased, and he had finally caught up with his big brother, Blue Crow, which made him very happy.

Blue Crow didn't show any expression or movement, just standing quietly on Wang Jin's shoulder. As the oldest Pokémon in the team, Blue Crow was much more stable than Haunter and Growlithe.

"Okay..." Wang Jin stroked the blue jay's feathers twice, and then listed all the gains this time.

That disobedient enchanting eye turned into a high-level dark stone.

Then there are the spoils obtained from the gym leader. There are five of them, all of which are fighting-type King-level Pokémon. But they probably won't obey, and their value depends on what the black market merchants say.

There are also two giant-jawed ants that Wang Jin accidentally captured in the ruins, both of which are elite level.

Wang Jin can now easily see the information of the two giant jaw ants:

【Name: Big Jaw Ant】

[Attribute: Ground]

[Level: Level 34 (Gym Master Level)]

[Characteristics: Strange power pliers]

[Items to carry: none]

The other one is no different from this one except that it is one level lower, at level 33.

"It would be nice if I could see the moves..." Wang Jin said, scratching his hair and putting away the Poké Balls of the two Giant Jaw Ants.

If he could see the elves' moveset, he could simply evaluate their talents based on the moves that the two Mandible Ants knew. But since there was a black market anyway, he planned to go directly to a black market merchant to have an evaluation, sell the junk one, and slowly train the remaining one.

The Pokémon called Antman is very magical. It has ground attributes in the initial stage, but it has dragon attributes after evolving.

After all, it is a Dragon, and it has potential. Antmand is still a relatively rare Pokémon. It has some value in cultivation.

Apart from these elves, the only things left are the abilities obtained from Cang Xiang and Zang Marant, as well as the Sword and Shield of Decay.

Wang Jin has already tried all the abilities given by Cang Xiang, but they are rubbish. Currently, it only has the detection function, and the detection is not comprehensive, which makes Wang Jin very dissatisfied.

But what Zang Marant gave was different. Although he had not yet conducted experiments, his strength was increasing every day, and the muscles he had trained were becoming more solid and swollen.

Wang Jin felt that this museum owner-level giant jaw ant might not be able to defeat him.

Of course, it's just a feeling, I haven't tried it.

Wang Jin wanted to go to the training room to measure his physical fitness and then convert it into the level of Pokémon. After all, humans also have fighting attributes, and many people can fight Pokémon in close combat.

"Maybe I am more gifted in physical aspects than mental strength? In other words, my psychic attribute is not so good, but my fighting attribute is okay?"

Wang Jin muttered to himself, feeling that it made sense.

Many Pokémon with dual attributes will focus on one attribute and be better at it. It is also common for humans to be better at psychic abilities or fighting.

For example, Cattleya in Sinnoh, Nancy in Kanto, and Caidou who I met in Suden Town before.

By the way, I don’t know if Gao Pu is her biological father, but he is so weak, and his body looks like he has never practiced...

Wang Jin couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He took out his communication device to check the time and found that it was almost noon. He glanced at Haunter who was playing with Growlithe and prepared to restart the training plan tomorrow.

Haunter, who was laughing in mid-air, opened his mouth with both hands and made a face with his unfamiliar claws.

"Hiss~"

"Woof! Woof!"

Caterpike pounced upwards, but Haunter avoided it every time by raising his body.

Doronesia, attracted by the two guys, also emerged from the shadows on his own initiative, flew between Haunter and Growlithe, and then looked around at the familiar Haunter.

"Duo?"

Doron Messiah didn't see Gastly's evolution process and thought that the person in front of him was a relative of Gastly.

"Hiss..."

Haunter spit out a circle of black mist, which was like the gas flame before, wrapped around its body, leaving Doron Messiah stunned.

"Huh..." Wang Jin patted his cheeks and made up his mind.

Be sure to improve your strength as much as possible during this shortest period of comfort!

As for this afternoon, he planned to go to the black market to take a look.

When Wang Jin thought of this, he went out to eat.
