153: Section 153

“Just as you all saw, Pangoro’s personality is irritable and impulsive, but also very bold. It has deep affection for its companions, so, to be honest, it is actually a very good Pokémon in all aspects.”

“However, becoming a Trainer for Pangoro is not an easy task. You can only negotiate with it through your fists, so if you want to capture a Pangoro, you must raise your own strength.”

“Pangoro’s greatest pride is its Machop. Most of the time, they solve problems with strength and don’t like to use their brains much. They are the type that speaks with their fists.”

“And as Pangoro’s foundation, its strength is also terrifying. It only needs to throw one punch to turn a large dump truck into scrap metal.”

“Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that although Pangoro is accustomed to speaking with strength, it does not bully the weak, nor does it allow others to do so. Because of this, it has fought many battles with other Pokémon.”

“However, while Pangoro does not bully the weak, if someone, relying on their weakness, provokes Pangoro, there will be no good outcome.”

“In addition, the bamboo leaf it constantly holds in its mouth is not just an ornament; it functions as a sensory organ, helping it detect movements in its surroundings.”

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zhang Yu took the opportunity to start introducing Pangoro.

To be honest, Zhang Yu really appreciates a Pokémon like Pangoro.

He especially admires Pangoro’s bold personality.

However, the shortcomings of this Pokémon are also very obvious; it is too impulsive many times.

His recent experience is the best example.

Fortunately, he is the type of person who likes to keep his Pokémon outside, rather than storing all of them in Poké Balls. Otherwise, he might have taken that hit from Pangoro directly.

Such an attack, even with the physique of a Super True Human, would probably take half his life, right?

Thinking of Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Chapter 189: Snorlax (Seeking Subscription)

[Is it irritable and impulsive, yet also exceptionally bold? This is indeed a troublesome personality.]

[Indeed, if such a Pokémon cannot change its personality, it is too prone to causing trouble.]

[One hundred percent true.]

[Isn't that right? Anchor’s Pokémon just now is the best example.]

[Although Pangoro’s shortcomings are very obvious, aren’t its advantages equally so?]

[Yes, all in all, it’s actually a very good Pokémon.]

[Although that’s still true, its irritable and impulsive personality is still very troublesome.]

[If you have enough patience, this personality flaw should be correctable.]

[Exactly, whether you can do such a thing depends on your personal ability.]

[Listening to you all, I’m actually a bit tempted.]

[Are you guys thinking too seriously about Pangoro’s personality issues? While its personality flaws are indeed obvious, it’s also not difficult to see from the situation just now that it actually listens well. As long as you can make it realize its mistake in time when it makes one, many things will be resolved very well.]

[Indeed, and the fact that Pangoro doesn’t bully the weak already avoids a lot of trouble.]

[Given Pangoro’s strength, it would be a terrifying thing if it were to casually bully weaker Pokémon.]

[Yes, Pangoro’s strength is simply too great.]

[After all, that’s a mighty force that even Charizard was slightly inferior to.]

[I don’t think it’s as exaggerated as you say, right? The main reason Charizard was at a slight disadvantage before was because it hadn’t undergone Super Evolution, right? Once it undergoes Super Evolution, Pangoro definitely won’t be its opponent.]

[Not just Pangoro, I remember Bewear was also a very strong Pokémon before, right? I wonder if all Fighting-type Pokémon are like this?]

[Actually, talking about these things now is useless, since whether we can even encounter Pangoro is still a question.]

[That hits hard, brother.]

After hearing Zhang Yu’s introduction to Pangoro, some Water Friends became even more interested in Pangoro.

Undoubtedly, Pangoro is a Pokémon with very obvious flaws, but its advantages are equally outstanding, overshadowing its imperfections.

Both its bold personality and its immense strength made many Water Friends want to capture a Pangoro.

Of course, whether they can actually encounter Pangoro, and whether they have enough strength to capture it, is another matter entirely.

But at this stage, achieving such a thing is almost impossible.

After introducing Pangoro, Zhang Yu and his companions did not linger there. They bid farewell to Pancham and Pangoro and left the area.

It’s unclear whether it was because the weather today was particularly suitable for sleeping or for some other reason.

After Zhang Yu and his companions had walked some distance, they saw another Pokémon lying on the ground, sound asleep.

It was a large, chubby creature, mostly blue, with only its belly and feet being white.

With just one glance, Zhang Yu recognized the identity of this big chubby creature—Snorlax!

“I really didn’t expect to see this Pokémon here…”

After recognizing Snorlax, Zhang Yu immediately began to introduce it.

“This lazy fellow who is sleeping is called Snorlax. It is a pure Normal-type Pokémon.”

“Just as you can see, Snorlax is an extremely lazy Pokémon. Most of the time, it’s either eating or sleeping. Its daily life revolves around eating and sleeping.”

“The reason it grew so fat is because it is both a glutton and extremely lazy. Unless it’s hungry, it can sleep in one place indefinitely.”

“But if I just say ‘glutton,’ you probably won’t have a concrete idea, right?”

“How about this, I’ll put it another way: Snorlax’s appetite is roughly equivalent to its body weight. It will eat almost the same amount of food as its body weight every day before stopping. Otherwise, it will feel unwell and might get angry.”

“As for how heavy Snorlax’s body weight is… I can only say that no Snorlax weighs less than nine hundred catties, and it’s very common for its weight to exceed one ton.”

“From a certain perspective, the words ‘glutton’ are no longer sufficient to describe Snorlax. It should be called a ‘Super Glutton’ instead.”

As he said this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

Let alone compared to humans, even compared to other Pokémon, Snorlax’s appetite is extremely exaggerated.

This basically destined that only the wealthy could afford to raise a Snorlax; ordinary people simply couldn’t afford it.

Chapter 190: The True Glutton

“With such a strong appetite, Snorlax’s digestive ability naturally wouldn’t be weak. Snorlax’s stomach can digest almost anything. It has an extremely sturdy stomach and extremely powerful digestive fluid. Even if the food is a bit moldy or poisonous, it can eat it without a care and will not get an upset stomach at all.”

“And after Snorlax has eaten its fill, it usually becomes like this, where even moving a finger would be very difficult. So, after it’s full, it usually starts sleeping, and that’s why Snorlax gets so fat.”

“In most cases, Snorlax is a gentle-natured Pokémon. Even if you jump on its belly during its nap, it won’t mind at all. You could say it’s the kind of Pokémon whose big belly children can use as a playground.”

“But in contrast, if Snorlax gets angry due to certain things, it will unleash astonishing power, for example, when someone disturbs it while it’s eating.”

“So, you absolutely must not think that just because Snorlax has a good temperament, you can bully it. That would be completely asking for death.”

As Zhang Yu spoke, he also reached out and poked Snorlax’s belly.

You know what, this soft, squishy feeling is truly addictive.

However, out of concern for waking Snorlax, Zhang Yu only indulged for a moment before stopping.

Because he was worried that someone might seek death due to Snorlax’s normally good temperament, Zhang Yu specifically gave a reminder, or rather, a warning, at the end.

[How much? Nearly a ton of food per day? I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?]

[Unfortunately, you did not hear wrong.]

[Hiss~ This appetite is a bit too terrifying, isn't it?]

[One can only say, this is the true value of a real glutton.]

[Yes, compared to Snorlax, those so-called gluttons are completely brothers.]

[Not just brothers, they’re practically brothers among brothers.]

[Sigh, I originally thought Snorlax was pretty good and was wondering if I should capture one, but its appetite directly deterred me.]

[Yes, ordinary people simply can’t afford to raise such a Pokémon, can they?]

[Let alone ordinary people, even some self-proclaimed rich folks might not be able to afford Snorlax. Although Anchor’s description suggests Snorlax isn’t picky and will eat anything, the problem is its appetite is right there. The daily food expenses would definitely be an astronomical price!]

[Sigh, this is the first time I’ve so intuitively experienced the wealth gap. Are poor people like us even restricted in terms of capturing Pokémon?]

[Not necessarily, after all, there’s something called a buffet.]

[Holy crap! Your idea is not just ordinary genius! While I can’t afford normal meal expenses, if I take Snorlax to a buffet, wouldn’t it be perfectly fine?]

[Indeed, if it’s a buffet, the food expenses would drop significantly.]

[No, isn’t your idea a bit too brutal? Those buffet owners are probably going to go bankrupt directly because of you.]

[I used to think eating a buffet restaurant out of business was just a joke, but now… it’s really hard to say.]

[brothers, have mercy! It’s good to leave a line in life for future encounters, so it’s better if you don’t act so harshly.]

[Upstairs, you wouldn’t happen to be the owner of a buffet, would you?]

[Definitely, you can tell by his panicked look.]

[By universal rationality, your approach is indeed a bit excessive.]

[True · Darkness Descends!]

[Actually, things aren’t as serious as you think. I estimate that after today, many buffet businesses will directly prohibit Snorlax from entering.]
