97: Section 97

“Chu…”

Pichu, who had originally wanted to continue fighting, paused when he heard Zhang Yu’s words.

After a slight hesitation, he ultimately chose to obey Zhang Yu and lay down obediently.

“Chu!”

Upon seeing his companion rescued by Zhang Yu at a critical moment, the rescued Pichu immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Corvisquire with an angry expression.

It was at this moment that a white light burst forth from his body, rapidly engulfing him.

Enveloped in the white light, Pichu’s body underwent rapid changes.

When the white light dissipated and he reappeared before everyone, he had a new appearance.

The color of his fur had changed from the original light yellow to a deeper shade, closer to gold.

The inconspicuous small black tail that was originally behind him had transformed into a serrated tail resembling a golden lightning bolt.

In stark contrast to his tail, Pichu’s original pair of large ears had actually become much smaller and longer, now resembling a rabbit’s ears more than a mouse’s.

“He actually evolved into a Pikachu at this moment?”

“It seems the outcome is decided.”

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and exclaim when he saw Pikachu successfully complete his evolution.

Although he had known for a long time that Pokémon are subjective creatures and can unleash even greater power in certain situations,

this was the first time he had personally witnessed an evolution in the midst of battle.

And with Pichu’s evolution, the outcome of this battle was also decided.

After all, the reason Corvisquire was able to entangle with the Pichu for so long was precisely because of his advantage of having already evolved once, wasn’t it?

And that advantage no longer existed; in fact, due to the type disadvantage, he had fallen into a disadvantage.

“Is this Pichu… evolving?”

“It’s truly unexpected, at this critical moment, Pichu actually suddenly evolved!”

“Who would have thought that just when this incident was about to end, we’d still get to see the emergence of a Pikachu? This is truly a pleasant surprise.”

“You guys, do you think Pichu will refuse to evolve like Snivy?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, right? Pokémon that are unwilling to evolve like Snivy should be a minority.”

“Yes, it’s been so long, and we’ve only seen Snivy do something like that, haven’t we?”

“Alright, Pichu has finished evolving, you don’t need to worry about those unnecessary things anymore.”

“This, this is Pikachu? Isn’t he a bit too cute?”

“Yes! Pikachu is simply too cute!”

“I feel like Pikachu’s cuteness is even above Pichu’s!”

“It seems Anchor wasn’t wrong, these Electric-type mouse Pokémon really are one cuter than the last when it comes to acting cute!”

“Cute is cute, but I wonder what his strength is like?”

“Although I don’t know Pikachu’s specific strength, as a Pokémon that has already evolved once, his strength must have become even stronger. He should be similar to Corvisquire, right? Plus the type advantage, and the help of the other Pichu, it can already be said to be a guaranteed win.”

“Indeed, unless Pikachu’s strength is too weak, the outcome of this conflict has already been decided.”

“You must be thinking it’s impossible, right? Of all the evolutions we’ve seen before, which one had a small increase in strength?”

“That’s right, as long as a Pokémon evolves, it will definitely gain an increase in strength.”

Upon witnessing Pichu’s sudden evolution, the Water Friends in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but be stunned, and then a wave of pleasant surprise surged through their hearts.

As early as when Zhang Yu first mentioned Pikachu, they had been very curious about Pikachu, Pichu’s evolved form.

Now, they could finally see his appearance.

And Pikachu did not disappoint everyone; the moment they saw him, everyone felt a sense of cuteness, and this feeling was even stronger than when they first saw Pichu!

“Pika! Pika!”

“Thunderbolt!”

After completing his evolution, Pikachu immediately locked his gaze firmly on Corvisquire and instantly unleashed a golden lightning bolt, striking towards Corvisquire’s location.

Upon sensing Pikachu’s attack, Corvisquire immediately came to his senses, but before he could dodge, the golden lightning bolt had already struck him, directly engulfing him.

After the golden lightning in the sky disappeared, Corvisquire, emitting black smoke all over, finally fell from the sky.

Judging by his dazed state, he had clearly lost the ability to battle.

The reason Pikachu’s attack was so effective, besides the increase in his strength, was actually more due to the power of the move.

It should be noted that Thunderbolt’s power is more than double that of Thunder Shock; it can be said that there is no comparison whatsoever between the power of these two moves.

“Chu!”

“Chu chu!”

Upon seeing Corvisquire defeated by Pikachu, the other Pichu immediately gathered around, and after a burst of cheers, they tossed Pikachu high into the air.

After repeating this several times, Pikachu finally returned to the ground, feeling dizzy.

“Chu!”

What no one noticed was that Pichu, who was held in Zhang Yu’s arms, after witnessing this scene, suddenly clenched his fists as if he had made some kind of decision.

“Indeed, in front of the evolved Pikachu, Corvisquire had no chance!”

“Although I had already guessed that Corvisquire wouldn’t be a match for Pikachu, I never expected Pikachu to win so decisively.”

“It seems that Pikachu, evolved from Pichu, is not only not weak, but actually very strong?”

“Not weak is certain, but how strong exactly is uncertain, because Corvisquire was already injured before Pikachu’s attack, and the three consecutive injuries were all caused by Electric-type moves that were super effective against him.”

“Indeed, type disadvantage is also a big problem, which makes it difficult for them to judge Pikachu’s specific strength.”

“I feel that moves should also be a factor; the moves Pikachu used before and after evolution are clearly different, and their power has become even stronger!”

“So, Pokémon evolution might also allow them to learn new moves?”

“It seems that is indeed the case; Anchor’s Charizard and Arcanine also used some moves they didn’t know before after evolving.”

“Sigh, I wonder when my Pokémon will be able to evolve?”

“You should be content; at least you have a Pokémon, I don’t even have one yet.”

“Let me tell you quietly, my Caterpie has already evolved into Metapod… hehehehe!”

“Holy cow! Is that real?”

“If he’s the Trainer who caught Caterpie earliest, then it’s normal for him to have evolved by now; there was already news online a few days ago.”

“Did this Caterpie evolve so quickly?”

“According to Anchor, while Bug-type-type Pokémon are generally weaker in average strength, their growth rate is the fastest among all types. They usually don’t take long to evolve into their final evolved form, and among Bug-type-type Pokémon, there are actually strong Bug-type-type Pokémon as well.”

“So, it seems Bug-type-type Pokémon actually have some merits.”

“Yes, easy to catch, plus fast growth rate, they can be said to be very suitable Pokémon for novice Trainer to catch.”

“While that’s true, I really don’t like Bug-types! Even Bug-type-type Pokémon, I still can’t bring myself to like them!”

“If you don’t like Bug-type-type Pokémon, then catch other Pokémon; at most, it’ll just take a bit more time. Compared to that bit of time, liking them is the most important.”

“That’s right, after all, once a Pokémon is caught, it’s meant to accompany you for life, so you can’t be careless!”

Upon seeing Pikachu successfully defeat Corvisquire, the Water Friends in the live broadcast room immediately erupted in cheers.

At the same time, they became even more eager for Pichu and Pikachu.

Pikachu goes without saying; their change of mind was mainly focused on Pichu.

Although Pichu is very cute, there were still many people who hesitated about whether to search for, or even catch, Pichu. The main reason for this situation was the strength of the Pichu.

This was especially true after they witnessed Pichu’s battles, which often resulted in self-inflicted harm.

After all, Pichu’s appearance really made them somewhat reluctant to let him battle.

But after witnessing Pikachu’s battle, that changed.

With Pikachu having a certain level of strength assurance, even if Pichu was a bit weaker, it was no longer a big problem in their eyes. At worst, they could just wait until Pichu evolved into Pikachu, couldn’t they?

Chapter 116: Pichu’s Decision! Catching a New Pokémon! (Seeking Self-Subscription)

The Pichu’s celebration didn’t last long; it wasn’t because someone else came to cause trouble, but simply because they still had injured individuals to tend to.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately began to help, and his first patient was the Pichu he was holding in his arms.

In fact, according to his thoughts, the treatment should have started much earlier, but that Pichu was very stubborn and refused to accept treatment until he saw the outcome truly decided.

“While there’s still time, I’ll give you a good introduction to Pikachu.”

While treating the Pokémon’s injuries, Zhang Yu also didn’t want his mouth to be idle, so he immediately began to introduce Pikachu to the Water Friends.

“Like Pichu, Pikachu is a pure Electric-type Pokémon.”
