"Let's go buy it this afternoon, we're leaving tomorrow," Xiao Mao said.
"Are you so anxious?"
Higanbana was planning to stay in Petalburg City for a few more days to train some Pokémon and take a break, since she had been traveling a lot.
"We're going to Yinyu City, which is quite far. Once we're on the ship, you'll have time to rest," Xiao Mao said.
"Since there's a shortcut, why didn't you take it before?" Higana asked, puzzled.
"Since we need to take Kirlia back to see its parents, and we're already in Greenwood Town, it's naturally closer to take the Karl Tunnel," said Gary.
"Ok."
Higana reluctantly followed Shigeru to Elf Department Store to buy supplies.
...!
Early the next morning.
The two set off from Orange Blossom City to the western dock town, and took a boat to Kaina City.
We traveled by speedboat and arrived in Kaina in just two days. After that, we paid for a taxi to take the highway and arrived in Violet City that afternoon.
It must be said that taking transportation greatly shortens the travel time, but then there are no more means of transportation to use.
Half a month has passed
On their journey from Violet City to Lilycove City, Shigeru and Higanbana encountered various tropical climates and complex terrains, with few roads to travel on.
However, their journey was relatively smooth. Without any interference from Team Rocket, they traveled and stopped along the way, and with the training of their Pokémon, they didn't waste too much time.
Gary would also take some time to come to the water's edge to look for Water-type Pokémon. Gary was currently missing one Pokémon, and he had already locked onto it – either Swampert or Milotic. He just needed to catch one.
There is a high probability of catching feline and mudskipper in the waters of area 119, because the water here is a river with many reed beds and wetlands, which is very suitable for feline and mudskipper to live in.
Xiao Mao spends all afternoon sitting by the river, his back to the world, fishing alone for eternity.
Unfortunately, I didn't catch a single satisfactory Pokémon. Putting aside its potential, I didn't even catch one of the target Pokémon.
Helpless, Shigeru could only channel his grief and anger into training his Pokémon, mainly focusing on training the few that hadn't evolved.
It refers to the four Pokémon: Apexisk, Shellder, Acorn, and Combusken.
目前精灵的等级（等级有提升的精灵）：超铁暴龙LV60、伊布LV61、蜥蜴王LV38、斗笠菇LV34、甲壳龙LV33、过动猿LV35、沙奈朵LV31、可多拉LV40、力壮鸡LV27。
Gary's Pokémon have all undergone significant changes. When Kirlia was still level 27, Gary used 3 low-level Rare Candies to level up to 30 and evolved into Gardevoir.
Today, Gary plans to evolve Apexis. He wants to see if the Sloth ability will be enhanced and its negative effects will be eliminated.
Since Qianli wouldn't tell him, Xiaomao would have to figure it out himself.
After the elves finished their lunch.
Shigeru approached the ape.
The hyperactive ape is training while wearing a forced exerciser. Due to its drive trait, this guy trains every day except for eating, drinking and defecating. Even when he sleeps, he only sleeps lightly for two or three hours with his eyes open.
With diligence and high potential, Hyperactive Ape's level quickly surpassed that of Mushroom.
"...Oh my god?!"
When it saw Gary walking over, the hyperactive ape was also startled. It was eager to evolve, and seeing Kirlia evolve into Gardevoir, it wanted to evolve into Slaking.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just helping you evolve."
Xiao Mao revealed a meaningful smile.
Seeing Shigeru's smile, the surrounding Pokémon all looked at the Hyperactive Ape with envy, knowing that the Hyperactive Ape was about to be strengthened.
Shigeru placed his hand on the hyperactive ape's shoulder and used a medium-level magic candy to raise the ape's level to 36.
"Yamete!!"
The hyperactive ape's body stiffened, its cells seemingly stimulated to grow wildly, and a layer of white light covered its body, completely enveloping it, the light becoming increasingly dazzling.
388: Slacker and EX Lazy Trait
"Oh, it's evolved!" Higana exclaimed with envy.
Since following Gary, Higanbana has only seen Gary's Pokémon evolve continuously, while her own Pokémon have never evolved even once.
The hyperactive ape was captured by Gary when it was a lazy otter, and it never expected that it would evolve into its final form.
In the Light of Evolution, the hyperactive ape's size continued to grow, quickly surpassing Shigeru and even becoming two heads taller, reaching nearly two meters in height. Its body also grew wider, with its legs and arms almost doubling in size.
As the light faded, a creature resembling a gorilla and a baboon appeared.
After evolving, Slaking had a lazy expression on his face and simply lay down on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
Compared to Senri's Slaking, Shigeru's Slaking is clearly purer and has a more orthodox bloodline.
Xiao Mao also used the Eye of Insight to check the Leave King data.
【Elf: Slacker♂】
[Attribute: General]
【Level: 36】
[Potential: Champion]
【Characteristic: Lazy (After taking one action, it needs to rest for a long time before it can move again. The rest time depends on the Pokémon itself.)
113 [Skills: Grab, Yawn, Slack Off, Headbutt, Instant Amnesia, Slack Off, Cleave, Abyss Thrust, Double Payback, Bluff.]
[Teach the following moves: Explosive Punch, Ice Punch, Rest, Body Slam, Shadow Claw, Thunderbolt, Fire Blast, Solar Beam, Rock Slide, Power-Up Punch, Thunder Punch, Brute Force.]
【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】
Look at this amazing stats! Even without his special ability, Slaking could be a monster. It's a pity he's held back by his ability.
"Shigeru, why does the Hyperactive Apex look so lazy after it evolves, just like the Lazy Otter back then?" Higana interjected.
Higana had never met the Slave King before, which is why she was so curious.
"You can take a look at the Pokémon Pokédex," said Gary.
Higana immediately took out her encyclopedia to check.
Pokédex entry: "Slacker, the Pokémon that hates trouble, is the most carefree Pokémon in the world. If it eats all the food within its tentacles, it will move to another place to live."
"Ugh! So lazy!" Higana's eyebrows twitched. Although she didn't know much about Pokémon, she had been with Gary for so long and could tell that Gary didn't know how to raise lazy Pokémon.
It's illogical to suddenly breed such a carefree and irresponsible Pokémon as Slacker.
“Although Slaking is very lazy, it is extremely powerful in all aspects, far surpassing Salamence,” Gary said.
"Really?! That can't be right!" Higana exclaimed in disbelief.
Although she didn't know much about other Pokémon, Hiljuna did know about Salamence, which was a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, second only to legendary Pokémon, and even some legendary Pokémon couldn't compare to Salamence.
"Alright, everyone, let's start training." Shigeru explained further, since base stats can't be measured right now, and given Slaking's laziness, there's no way to prove it.
Not many people know that Slaking's abilities surpass those of pseudo-legendary characters, and even if they do, they stop at Slaking's lazy nature and don't bother to train him.
"Okay, I'm going to train."
"Ibrahimovic, let's go."
The hyperactive ape has already evolved, so Higanbana needs to evolve quickly too, at least until her baby Tyrannosaurus evolves into a Monsterodon.
“Buyi”.
Technician Ibu took Higana to a more distant training location.
Because we want to cultivate Higana's independence, we don't plan to combine her training sessions with others during regular training; we want Higana's Pokémon to get used to training alone.
The main reason is that Gary needs to strengthen the Sloth ability later, in case Slaking undergoes any special changes, Gary won't be able to explain it.
Xiao Mao looked at Wang, who was asking for leave.
Slaking lay motionless on the ground, its eyes half-open, as if it were about to fall asleep at any moment. Its forced training had also broken down due to evolution, and it would need to be re-made.
"I hope it works." Xiao Mao prayed in his heart. If the enhanced Lazy trait didn't change much, it would be a waste of a trait enhancement stone.
Gary walked up to Slaking, placed his hand on Slaking, and used an Ability Enhancement Stone.
[Ding! Characteristic Enhancement Stone successfully used.]
"Ta-da!"
Suddenly, the lazy Slaking stood up, and his languid expression gradually became dignified, much like the Slaking and the Sloth in Senri.
“Could it be…!”
Xiao Mao quickly checked the data of the Leave King.
【Elf: Slacker♂】
[Attribute: General]
【Level: 36】
[Potential: Champion]
【Characteristic: EX Laziness (One day of normal activity, three days of rest)】
[Skills: Grab, Yawn, Slack Off, Headbutt, Instant Amnesia, Slack Off, Cleave, Abyss Thrust, Double Payback, Bluff.]
[Teach the following moves: Explosive Punch, Ice Punch, Rest, Body Slam, Shadow Claw, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Solar Beam, Rock Slide, Power-Up Punch, Thunder Punch, Brute Force, Hyper Beam.]
【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】
Xiao Mao: Um...!
I know it's related to characteristics, but what do you mean by this? Playing for one day and resting for three days, you're really something...!
"It's alright, at least it works." Xiao Mao thought it was pretty good.
Although the EX Lazy trait allows the Leave King to act for a whole day, the fact that he has to rest for three days afterwards is really a pain.
No wonder Qianli has to train so many "slave kings".
Xiao Mao also figured out what Qianli's secret was.
Senri must have captured a Slaking with the EX Sloth ability, and then used this Slaking to breed the next generation. The offspring of this Slaking may inherit the EX Sloth ability.
