Pokémon: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The 30th day to Kanto, cloudy.

Yu Hai got up early in the morning, made breakfast for the elves, and asked Hazelnut Ball to use high-speed spinning moves against the rocks to grind the bark shell on his body.

They were grinding the shell yesterday, and they subdued Hazelnut Ball yesterday. In front of the mosquito-scented frog, Hazelnut Ball still wanted to play self-destruction, which was impossible.

The unconvinced Hazelnut Ball was beaten several times by the mosquito-scented frog, and finally accepted his fate and let Yu Hai arrange it. Hazelnut Ball only knew to do it, and he also provided food, accommodation and fighting.

Hazelnut Ball has been grinding the shell from yesterday to this morning. The original diameter of 80 cm is now only 60 cm, and the height has shrunk a lot, less than one meter.

Not only has the size shrunk, but also the weight has shrunk. The original weight was more than 30 kg, which was four times more than the average weight of the hazelnut ball.

Now it is only more than 20 kg, and most of the shells that have been ground off are fragile bark. He has not yet reached the round orange bark.

Because he found that if he continued to grind it like this, the hardness of the hazelnut ball would be terribly high, and the fragile shell would be worn away, leaving only the hardest part, which formed the shell of the hazelnut ball.

No matter how hard the hazelnut ball is, even if the shell becomes steel after evolution, it is still a steel attribute that is afraid of fire. He felt that he could add something to the shell so that even if the shell becomes steel, it can still withstand fire.

He didn't dare to ask for the weak fire of Foretos to change from four times weak fire to two times weak fire. He just wanted to reduce it to two times weak fire, and then use rainy days to reduce it to one times weak fire.

What materials should be added so that the hazelnut ball can maintain the many resistances of the steel attribute after evolution, and also have more fire resistance!

After opening up his mind, he found that this matter seemed to be very interesting. The hazelnut ball cultivated in this way can also turn the hazelnut ball into a Foretos with insects and various attributes.

For example, insects plus rock system, insects plus ice system, insects plus ground system...

Insects plus steel system is a weakness.

Insects plus rock system is three weaknesses.

Bug plus ground type, four weaknesses.

Bug plus ice type, also four weaknesses, and two big daddies.

No matter how you look at it, the attribute combination of bug plus steel type seems to be the best choice.

From the perspective of resistance, the steel type has ten attribute resistances, the rock type has only four attribute resistances, the ground type has two attribute resistances, and the ice type has only one attribute resistance.

He can't change the attributes of the hazelnut ball anymore, just increase the fire resistance to make up for this shortcoming.

And you can only add one kind of material, not too many. If you add too many and too mixed, it will become a hazelnut ball that doesn't look like anything, and it will lose the steel attribute of Forlitos.

He seems to have this kind of fireproof material, but it's almost eaten up by Hanhan...

In the face of the attack of fire-type moves, only the fire type, water type, rock type, and dragon type, these four attributes are resistance.

The materials he wants to use can only be selected from these four attributes, and the materials he can easily get are only the first three attributes.

For the first three attributes, he prefers water-type materials, and fire-type materials are the first attributes to be excluded.

This cultivation method is originally for fire resistance. Does it mean that fire-type materials are used to fight fire with fire?

Don't be funny. Fire-type materials may have a negative effect on fire-type moves, and will increase the power of fire-type moves.

Because the material he wants to use is wet rock, the corresponding fire-type item is hot rock.

Hot rock can increase the duration of sunny days and is a fire-type item that increases the power of fire-type moves, so it cannot be used.

The reason for not choosing the sandy rock of the rock type is also very simple. The rock type has too many weaknesses, and there are five weaknesses.

If the sandy rock is added, Forritos will become a rock attribute. The five weaknesses of the rock type that were not originally weaknesses are ground type, fighting type, water type, grass type, and steel type.

These five rock-type weaknesses may become Forritos' weaknesses, so the sandy rock is a material that passes directly...

And the water type has only two weaknesses, grass type and electric type. Forritos' grass type is four times the resistance, and the electric type is one time the resistance.

As long as the fourfold weakness of the fire system can be suppressed, it doesn't matter if there are more grass system restraints, anyway, there is fourfold resistance.

However, the electric system is a bit difficult to deal with.

It is best to control the amount of wet rocks added, otherwise if the electric system restraint is brought out, his hazelnut ball will not play the rainy day team.

If someone thunders on a rainy day, his hazelnut ball will die, and it is impossible to play on a rainy day.

He also has his own considerations for the limit of adding materials. Can't the hazelnut ball learn to pray for rain? As long as the rain prayer appears on the panel, the hazelnut ball can learn to pray for rain by itself, which means that it has reached the limit.

If more is added, the hazelnut ball will not be made of steel attribute as the shell, but probably made of water.

Do it as you think of it. After recording all the ideas, Yu Hai asked the hazelnut ball to stop grinding and let it jump into the river to cool down.

Well, you have seen blacksmithing, right? He just had a sudden idea. The hazelnut ball was very hot after being polished, so he let the hazelnut ball go to the river to try whether the hazelnut ball could be quenched. Unexpectedly, the hazelnut ball could really be quenched. He was really surprised and happy at that time.

Quenching is a heat treatment process. The main purpose is to change the microstructure of the metal, thereby changing the physical properties of the metal, especially to increase hardness and strength, improve wear resistance, and change toughness.

After discovering this new thing, he felt that he could refine the hazelnut ball as iron and refine the hazelnut ball into steel, which would make the hazelnut ball harder.

After evolving, Foretos has a basic physical defense of 140. Foretos cultivated by quenching steel may have a physical defense of more than 200 or even more than 300.

This is incredible. Since the physical defense can be raised, the special defense can naturally be raised. If both defense can reach more than 200, he will be satisfied.

Foretos is not like Huhu. Huhu's racial value is all on double defense, which is as high as 230, but the attack is only 10 points.

But Foretos is different. While raising both defense, the basic attack is 90, which is much stronger than Huhu's 10 points.

However, there is another problem with this cultivation method. He does not understand how to control the temperature and how to make a piece of iron into steel.

For these blacksmithing knowledge, he is a layman. At most, he has watched some documentaries in his previous life, and there have been sword forging competitions.

He needs to find a blacksmith shop or an old craftsman who can make steel to complete his idea of ​​​​hazelnut ball.

Look for it, what else can he do? He did it as he thought. He immediately took back the trained Pokémons, took the gull and returned to the Crimson City, and asked people where he could find a blacksmith shop for steelmaking.

As for the appointment at the lumberyard, he would go there later. He had asked Darkrai to catch the Great Armor in the hunting zone. The Great Armor had a potential of only more than 30. He was too lazy to even look at such a Pokémon with potential.

Then, he looked for a blacksmith shop on the outskirts of Crimson City. After searching for several hours, he really found a blacksmith shop. The master of the blacksmith shop was an old craftsman who had inherited it for five generations.

But after hearing about his purpose, the old craftsman thought that this young trainer was crazy, and he had nothing to do every day and was just talking nonsense.

Hazelnut Ball is a Pokémon, and its shell is also bark. How can it be made into steel? Steelmaking requires iron.

Then, he was regarded as a crazy trainer and was kicked out of the blacksmith shop.

There was no other way. He went to other blacksmith shops, but without exception, they all thought he was whimsical. It was really helpless!

He could only come to the lumberyard to fulfill the agreement he made with the foreman yesterday. The foreman was already waiting for him. Seeing him coming, he greeted him happily.

"Little brother, you are finally here. I have packed more than ten sacks of the bark you want for you. I don't know if it is enough," the foreman rubbed his hands. Seeing that Yu Hai was not in a good mood, he did not mention the matter of Dajia. He only mentioned the bark, implicitly pointing to Dajia.

"The Dajia you want," Yu Hai was indeed not in a good mood. He was rejected by the blacksmith shop one after another, which made him fall into self-denial. He doubted whether the method of cultivating hazelnut balls was feasible and whether his idea was just a fantasy.

If one person rejected him, he would not think much, but three old craftsmen rejected him in a row, so he had to think more.

After thinking about it, he still had to give it a try. Since they would not help, even if they were paid, he would do it himself, slowly sum up his experience, and verify his idea step by step.

"Little brother, thank you so much. Please follow me. The bark you want has been packed and stacked." The foreman saw the big armor in the Poké Ball and immediately put it in his pocket with joy, fearing that the Poké Ball would be lost.

For this big armor, he didn't know how many times he ran around, and finally got this Pokémon, and finally he could make his son happy.

"I'll go get it myself, you go ahead," Yu Hai waved his hand and followed the foreman's instructions to go to the warehouse where the other party stored the bark.

Seeing that Yu Hai looked absent-minded, the foreman didn't disturb Yu Hai. He said hello to his colleagues and drove home. He wanted to give the Pokémon to his son as soon as possible.

Yu Hai came to the warehouse and looked up. There were more than ten sacks of black bark piled inside, which should be enough for the transformation of the hazelnut ball. He asked Gengar to come out and swallow all the bark, and then turned around and left the logging site and came to the river where he camped yesterday.

The elves were released again. He had lunch with everyone first. Then the elves trained and rested. He also had to start the transformation of the hazelnut ball.

The current task of the hazelnut ball is to continue to polish its body, remove impurities from the shell with the quenching method, and leave the most essential part.

In order to better use the quenching steelmaking method to cultivate the hazelnut ball, he also went to the elf center and contacted Xia Gan Gym to get the starfish.

He needed the gravity move of the starfish. Under the gravity move of the starfish, the body of the hazelnut ball should be more solid.

He also divided his idea of ​​the hazelnut ball into three steps...

The first step is purification, which is to refine the accumulation before the hazelnut ball, leaving only the most essential and hardest part of the bark, which is also the innermost layer.

The second step is to add light stone powder to the middle layer to reduce the weight of the hazelnut ball. This step is crucial. If a fat man weighing one thousand pounds is made, it will be difficult to move, let alone turn.

The third step is to add fireproof materials and wet rock powder to the outermost layer to increase the fire resistance of Foretos, at least to reduce the four times weak fire.

He is currently carrying out the first step, using the quenching steelmaking method to purify the outer shell of the hazelnut ball.

In fact, he did not have any discovery before. He found that the state of quenching after ten minutes of high-speed rotation was the best.

Then, he let the hazelnut ball continue to grind, from the previous body width of 80 to the current body width of 60, and from the body width of 60 to the current body width of 50, until the body width of 40 centimeters, he felt that it was almost done.

After all, the average body width of the hazelnut ball is only about 40 centimeters, and those over 40 are considered special individuals, not to mention his hazelnut ball that has been quenched.

The original body size of 80 centimeters in diameter was ground to only 40 centimeters, directly shrinking by half.

The height has also been reduced from more than one meter to only 70 centimeters after polishing, which is almost all-round shrinkage.

The first stage of removing the dross and leaving the essence is completed.

Clang clang clang——

"It's really crisp," Yu Hai knocked on each side of the hazelnut ball's body, and it can make this crisp sound, which is very similar to the sound of metal knocking. So this layer is called pure steel, which is also the innermost layer.

Steel is just a metaphor. How can bark be made into steel? It just keeps polishing, leaving the hardest part. He doesn't really understand this kind of metal-like material.

Next, he will start polishing the second layer. He plans to add pumice powder and polish it together with the round orange fruit bark, and integrate the pumice powder into the body of the hazelnut ball to reduce the weight of the hazelnut ball.

Before that, he must test whether the pumice powder is effective for the elves. If the powder has no effect, then he will grind the pumice into powder. Although it can be better integrated into the shell of the hazelnut ball, it will be useless if it has no effect.

He took out the grinding tool, called the Scythe who was training, tossed the light stone, and shouted to Scythe: "I will throw this stone into the sky, you have to split the stone into four pieces, can you do it?"

"Yes," Scythe nodded, confident about this, the light stone alone can't stop the blade.

"Okay," Yu Hai stepped back and threw the light stone at Scythe.

Swish, swish, swish——

Scythe stared at the light stone, raised the sickle and chopped it continuously, instantly splitting the light stone into four pieces. When he put away the sickle, a blade flashed on the crescent-shaped sickle.

"Not bad, go to practice," Yu Hai waved his hand, letting Scythe go to practice. He picked up the four light stone fragments on the ground, came to the side of Hazelnut Ball, picked up Hazelnut Ball and put it on the scale.

The weight of Hazelnut Ball on the electronic scale has not shrunk much compared to before, and it is still 18 kilograms, not bad.

The bigger the weight, the higher the defense. It seems that the first step of grinding and quenching is feasible. While removing impurities, the hardest materials are left. He will continue to repeat this process.

After seeing the weight of the hazelnut ball, he put a quarter of the light stone fragments on it. Logically, it should only have a quarter of the effect.

A quarter of half of the 18 kilograms of the hazelnut ball is 2.25 kilograms, but only one kilogram is reduced on the electronic scale. The effect of the damaged light stone was cut in half again.

In other words, the complete light stone can reduce the weight by half, and the effect of the damaged light stone will be further reduced by half, only half of the effect of the complete light stone.

It's really a loss. In addition to the loss of grinding, I don't know how much light stone I have to spend to achieve the effect he wants.

Now I can only take it one step at a time. If there is not enough material, I will go to the department store to buy it. He doesn't need this little money.

Then, he put the light stone fragments in the medicine mortar, ground the light stone fragments into powder, and sprinkled it on the body of the hazelnut ball. He found that the effect of the light stone was cut in half again, and it could only reduce one kilogram of weight...
