Chapter 21: The Best in the Universe

At this moment, nine red-and-white Poké Balls were placed on the table in front of Su Hao.

The Pokémon inside were: 【Charmander】, 【Cyndaquil】, 【Torchic】, 【Chimchar】, 【Tepig】, 【Fennekin】, 【Litten】, 【Scorbunny】, and 【Fuecoco】, a total of nine Pokémon, all of which were the Fire-type starters from every generation in the Pokémon games before he transmigrated.

There was a factual basis for the three-type starters being the most recommended initial Pokémon by the Alliance.

Starter Pokémon could all undergo two evolutions, and the level required for their final evolution was not high; they could complete their evolution upon reaching the Elite level. Moreover, starter Pokémon generally had very high potential, and their temperaments were also very suitable as initial Pokémon.

The staff soon released the Pokémon inside the Poké Balls one by one.

The small table was filled with Fire-type starter Pokémon in their initial stages. There was the timid Cyndaquil hiding behind the steady Charmander, the Torchic that started playing around full of energy as soon as it came out, the Chimchar and Scorbunny, the Fennekin that was quietly grooming its fur as if it had nothing to do with the others, and the Litten that was napping, and the Fuecoco that was already asleep.

The nine Pokémon displayed various personalities, but Su Hao had already decided who to choose on the way here.

Su Hao cast his gaze toward the Litten napping on the table. Litten was a kitten-type Pokémon with black fur all over its body. Its face had red markings and whiskers, and some of the red fur formed a "T" shape, with red stripes on its limbs as well. Litten had a pair of bright yellow eyes, and the tip of its tail had some thorn-like fur.

Pokémon: 【Litten】

Type: 【Fire】

Gender: 【♂】

Ability: 【Intimidate】

Level: 【5】

Moves: 【Scratch, Ember, Growl, Fake Out, Heat Wave, Nasty Plot, Revenge】

Su Hao had actually liked the Incineroar line of Pokémon very much before he transmigrated, but Su Hao didn't choose Litten because of the so-called "Incineroar, the best in the universe" strength.

After all, he had truly transmigrated into a real world with Pokémon now, and these living Pokémon could not be defined by a string of data.

Although Su Hao wanted to choose Litten directly, this selection opportunity was something his father had spent a lot of resources to exchange for, so he definitely still had to go through the motions.

Soon, the staff led the father and son to a spacious field and commanded the nine Pokémon to start showing their specialties and moves.

Charmander's physical fitness was very good and it had inherited powerful Dragon-type moves; Cyndaquil's flame temperature was very high; Torchic's movements were very agile; and the others also performed very excellently. These Pokémon, which were worth a fortune outside, were now placed in front of Su Hao for him to choose at will.

Su Hao thought to himself that if he weren't only allowed to choose one, he would definitely want them all.

Litten also performed very uniquely. Not to mention its agile movements, when it was practicing battles with other Pokémon, the moment it crouched its small body at the start and let out a threatening growl from its throat, the Chimchar it was battling instantly showed a look of being frightened, and the Fire Punch move Chimchar was preparing to use was forced to dissipate.

His father, who was standing nearby, also told Su Hao that he rarely saw a Pokémon that could control its ability so freely and develop different uses for it at such a young stage.

As part of a Pokémon's comprehensive strength, abilities had all kinds of miraculous effects.

Litten's ability was either the common ability 【Blaze】 or the hidden ability 【Intimidate】. As a seventh-generation starter Pokémon before he transmigrated, Litten's final evolution, Incineroar, relied on its excellent build, sunny move pool, and 【in-game】 god-tier ability Intimidate to dominate the competitive scene, and it didn't fear other Legendaries even in the late-game God-tier battles.

It could be said that it could retreat to assist teammates in taking damage, or advance to slap the opponent's main artery. Although it was crazily nerfed by GF in the next generation's updates, Incineroar had had its glory days.

In this world, many Pokémon only used their abilities in a simple way to activate their effects; only a very small number of Pokémon could develop various different functions based on their own abilities.

This Litten was such an existence. The effect of Intimidate was to lower the opponent's Attack by one stage when entering the field.

In reality, the way this ability manifested was that the Pokémon holding this ability would exert pressure on the enemy with its aura when entering the field, causing the enemy's output to decrease.

This Litten, however, was a bit different. Beyond the original effect, it could even make the opponent's movements sluggish through Intimidate, and could even interrupt the moves the opponent was preparing.

The nine Pokémon here could all be said to be among the most excellent individuals within the Shenzhou Alliance, but Litten was even more outstanding on this basis. Coupled with the fact that Su Hao himself wanted to choose Litten, it could be said that this was already a done deal!

After discussing his thoughts and the details he had observed with his father and getting his father's approval, Su Hao walked out of the room holding Litten as he had wished.

Su Hao had spent a lot of effort to hold Litten; at first, Litten wouldn't even let anyone touch it.
