Chapter 14: Forest Outskirts

On the second day of winter break, Su Hao and Carbink took a Corviknight taxi to an unnamed forest outside Yang City.

The unnamed forest had been explored countless times by Trainers inside and outside Yang City, and the distribution of Pokémon inside had long been figured out by wave after wave of Trainers.

The outskirts of the unnamed forest were mostly Novice-level Pokémon, and only by walking a certain distance toward the interior could one encounter Ordinary-level Pokémon.

So this forest was the first choice for Novice Trainers to fight and capture in the wild every year.

Although the ecology here was very suitable for Novice Trainers to explore, most Trainers were currently grinding with their starter Pokémon or fighting among themselves in the past few days.

Taking advantage of the fact that the outskirts were not congested yet, Su Hao could fight to his heart's content with Carbink.

——————————

After Su Hao officially entered the forest with Carbink, no Pokémon attacked immediately.

Many Pokémon with strong attack desires, such as Spinarak and Rattata, closed their eyes and pretended not to see them after seeing Su Hao and Carbink.

Because people came every year, most of the Pokémon on the outskirts here were unwilling to jump out to attack people. After all, after hitting one, many people came one after another, which was really too uncomfortable.

Sure enough, as the guide said, the Pokémon on the outskirts here didn't necessarily work without food.

Su Hao had no choice but to take out a small box of general Pokémon food from the backpack he was carrying.

Su Hao took out a handful of Pokémon food and walked lightly toward the location of a Rattata that was pretending to be blind.

After Su Hao walked five meters next to the Rattata, the Rattata, which was pretending not to see, immediately opened its eyes and bared its teeth at Su Hao and Carbink.

Although the Rattata was vigilant, the longing look in its eyes at the Pokémon food in Su Hao's hand betrayed it.

Su Hao, who observed this point, directly radiated his Aura, linked to the Rattata, and conveyed a feeling of goodwill to it.

While conveying his side's goodwill through Aura, Su Hao opened his mouth and said to the Rattata: "We have no malice. As long as you fight my Carbink once, the food in my hand will be yours, and if you get hurt, we will also treat you."

"Rattata Rattata!" After listening, the Rattata felt that the human in front of it was still credible and directly set up a posture to fight Carbink.

Pokémon: 【Rattata】

Type: 【Normal】

Gender: 【♂】

Ability: 【Run Away】

Level: 【12】

Moves: 【Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Bite】

Rattata was four levels higher than Carbink, but Su Hao predicted that Carbink could still easily resolve the battle.

As a mouse Pokémon, Rattata had a light purple body that was very small, and its movements were flexible, especially its front teeth.

The front teeth were Rattata's main means of attack.

Its sharpness was enough to easily bite through even hard wood.

Rattata first used Normal-type energy to gather on its front teeth. According to Su Hao's observation, it should be the Normal-type move 【Focus Energy】. Focus Energy can allow the Pokémon using it to capture the opponent's weaknesses more accurately.

After using Focus Energy, Rattata rushed toward Carbink without stopping, using the 【Bite】 move.

"Use Tackle!" Su Hao chose to let Carbink go head-to-head directly.

"Nai nai!" Carbink showed a white luster on its body and crashed straight into the incoming Rattata.

"Boom—" The collision sound came. Sure enough, Rattata was directly knocked away by Carbink, and Carbink was completely fine.

The knocked-away Rattata struggled to get up but was really knocked out of strength, so it had to watch Su Hao walk over.

Su Hao took out the Potion spray from his backpack again, aimed at the slightly red and swollen head of the Rattata, and sprayed it.

The Potion worked quickly. Su Hao left the food he promised to the Rattata on the spot and continued to look for opponents with Carbink.

Under the temptation of Su Hao's food, many wild Pokémon were knocked down by Carbink's heavy punches.

Near evening, Carbink, who had defeated the Nidoran in front of it, flashed light on its gray body, and its aura became a bit more solid again.

Su Hao treated Nidoran as usual and gave the food to Nidoran

After that, he cast his eyes on Carbink's panel.

Pokémon: 【Carbink】 【Mutation 7%】

Type: 【Rock, Fairy】

Gender: 【None】

Ability: 【Clear Body】

Level: 【11→12】

Moves: 【Tackle, Harden, Dazzling Gleam, Meteor Beam, Reflect, Light Screen, Ancient Power, Guard Split, Smack Down (New)】

After a day, Carbink's level rose directly to twelve, and it also learned a new move, 【Smack Down】, which could target Pokémon flying in the sky to a certain extent.
