Chapter 21 Oddish? Mew!
Noon arrived in the blink of an eye.
Xia Mu led his four Pokémon through the forest, defeating several high-level Pokémon in succession, and each of them gained another 2 levels.
Although these high-level Pokémon were few in number, they provided a lot of experience points.
The only problem was that all Pokémon had to participate to share the experience points.
In one-on-one battles, it would be unfair to take turns.
Xia Mu did want to do that, but then he considered that with their increasing strength and levels, using this method would only make his Pokémon more and more dependent on their companions.
So Xia Mu changed his strategy. They would take turns; one battle it would be Growlithe, the next it would be Riolu…
Only if one lost could a companion take over. In short, none of the four Pokémon could be out of order. Even though time was running out, Xia Mu still had to train them this way, not only to cultivate their independence but also to develop his command skills.
The four little ones obeyed Xia Mu's every word; after all, their bond level was high enough. Even the newly joined Beedrill gradually got used to it after battle.
...
A level 40 Vileplume, a level 39 Scyther, a level 38 Victreebel, a level 40 Fearow, a level 41 Pidgeotto...
For two or three hours, Xia Mu lost count of how many Pokémon he defeated that were close to level 40, or even higher.
Most of them had completed their final evolution, and some had good potential.
However, Xia Mu didn't catch any of them.
He now only had two slots left to carry, one of which had to be reserved for a Pokémon his father brought back from the Hoenn region.
Of course, it might not actually be a Gardevoir, but Xia Mu still had to reserve one.
The last slot had to be saved for later.
Even if his home could be equipped with a device to receive the Pokémon he caught in the wild, preventing others from knowing which Pokémon he had captured, Xia Mu currently didn't have much desire to catch any unless they were exceptional or shiny.
By Cinnabar Lake, Xia Mu simply set up a grill, lit a fire, and roasted meat to cook. He also took out some prepared food from his storage space.
Xia Mu had prepared all of this in advance so he could have a good meal while exploring the wild.
His storage space was naturally more powerful than a space backpack; once something was stored in it, it remained exactly as it was when taken out.
In a sense, it was like time standing still.
Besides preparing food for himself, Xia Mu also prepared some food for the four little ones.
While Energy Cubes were nutritious and delicious, they were still too monotonous.
Therefore, in addition to Energy Cubes, they naturally needed some regular food.
The aroma of the food attracted many weaker Pokémon, such as Oddish, Rattata, Caterpie, and Poliwag.
Unlike higher-level Pokémon, which become extremely wary after reaching maturity and are less likely to approach humans,
Xia Mu proved to be quite approachable. He wasn't stingy with these weak, wild Pokémon, easily winning their favor.
Once the meat was cooked through, Xia Mu sprinkled on seasonings, packed it into portions, and distributed them to the Pokémon.
He naturally ate quite a lot himself.
During the meal, Xia Mu's eyes involuntarily caught sight of an Oddish that was frantically showing off its food.
Its appearance was unremarkable, but this data…
what the heck?
If this were a game world, a huge exclamation mark would definitely appear above Xia Mu's head.
[Oddish (Mew)]
[LV: 40 — LV: ???]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Attribute: Psychic]
[Personality: Timid]
[Ability: Synchronization (transmits one's poison, paralysis, or burn status to the opponent)]
[Skills: Slap, Mirror Attribute, Instant Amnesia, Baton Pass, Primal Power, Life Drop, Trick, Command, Seal, Transformation, Aura Sphere, Psychic...]
[Affinity: 30 (Initial acquaintance, still needs work)]
[Emotion: Excited (Mmm~ Delicious, delicious, delicious~)]
...
Holy crap.
Xia Mu gasped and stood up abruptly.
He almost choked to death in his haste.
Luckily, there was a water bottle nearby.
After gulping down several mouthfuls of water, he swallowed the food stuck in his throat and even patted his chest.
If it weren't for the cheat simulator, heaven would never have known that the Oddish beside him was actually Mew in disguise!
The world is so big, and Mew is right in front of him.
And what's with this level?
Level 40 is level 40? What does the bunch of question marks mean?
There are so many skills, it seems there's no level limit.
So, this is the ability Mew possesses in the real world, beyond the game's scope?!
[Level 40 is the same as the early game settings, but this 40 level as the bottom line means there's no upper limit, right?] Xia Mu thought to himself.
If that's the case, then are other legendary Pokémon the same?
Xia Mu suddenly thought of Mewtwo.
If this is the case, does that mean Mewtwo's bottom line will be 70 like in the game, and the upper limit is unknown...or rather, the upper limit can directly reach 100?
100 level...
At this moment, Xia Mu suddenly had another thought: in the game, level 100 is indeed the highest level.
But in this world, will level 100 still be the limit?
Stunned and lost in thought, Xia Mu's actions finally caught Mew's attention.
Mew, now transformed into Oddish, showed no fear of Xia Mu, probably knowing that Xia Mu had seen through it, so it became playful and transformed into the Growlithe beside it.
Growlithe, enjoying its meal, was startled, watching its food being snatched away, its stunned expression somewhat adorable.
It was probably completely bewildered, not knowing what was happening.
Mew's transformations didn't stop; it transformed into Beedrill, then Riolu, and then one after another other Pokémon, finally becoming Gyarados.
Initially, it only transformed into a regular blue Gyarados, but dissatisfied with this transformation, it used some unknown power to change its color to be exactly the same as a red Gyarados.
All the Pokémon were startled.
Xia Mu was naturally the same.
He witnessed Mew's abilities firsthand, truly a stroke of incredible luck.
How many people in this world have actually seen Mew?
Even if some have, they've never witnessed such powerful abilities.
In the original movie, aside from the scene where Mewtwo makes its comeback, and the story of the Aura Sphere's Hero, which featured Mew and the Tree of Beginning, Ash and his friends truly witnessed Mew's power.
Of course, this is just child's play.
Mew's existence is extremely special. As a Mythical Pokémon, it possesses the genes of all Pokémon, making its abilities unimaginably powerful.
Although the claim that it is the progenitor of all Pokémon is not officially recognized, it is undeniably the earliest and most mysterious Mythical Pokémon.
