After returning to Alola from the Nibel Plateau, Anjie first went to see Oranguru.
Oranguru had already received the phone Anjie had prepared for it, delivered by Gerami.
With the phone, Oranguru could communicate with Claydol at any time.
When Anjie arrived, it was leading two Smolivs in using Grassy Terrain to add "nutrition" to its orchard, while two Golurks were carrying fertilizer to fertilize the fruit trees.
With Anjie's family's special fertilizer, its orchard would become even more prosperous in the future.
After chatting with Oranguru for a while and seeing that everything was going smoothly, Anjie left with peace of mind.
While strolling through the forest, Anjie suddenly saw a pond. He saw several Wooper playing in the pond, and his eyes suddenly lit up with the idea of catching them.
Wooper have the ability to purify water. Although he already had two at home, Anjie still felt that the more the better, especially considering the vast waters of the Nibel Plateau.
So he led Vulpix, Sylveon, Slowpoke, Loke, Genesect, Darkrai, and Tapu Lele towards the pond.
Seeing so many people (Pokémon) suddenly approaching, the timid Wooper cried out in surprise and dived into the water.
Anjie wasn't in a hurry and quietly waited by the pond.
After a while, seeing that there seemed to be no danger, the Wooper poked their heads out of the water one after another.
Anjie counted them, a total of 6, and to his surprise, one of them was shiny.
Ordinary Wooper are blue, while shiny Wooper are pink.
The shiny Wooper was braver than the other Wooper, and it stretched its neck to ask Anjie what he wanted to do.
Anjie said directly: "I also have two Wooper at home. I think they're lonely, so I want to catch you to keep them company, is that okay?"
Seeing how much Anjie cared for the Wooper at home, the Wooper's fondness for Anjie greatly increased.
But having a good impression was one thing, but catching them wouldn't be that easy.
The shiny Wooper shouted: "Wooper~ Wooper~" If you want to catch us, you must defeat us!
Anjie readily agreed: "No problem."
The Wooper, upon hearing this, swam ashore one after another, lined up, and glared at Anjie, thinking they were full of momentum.
But their beady eyes, no matter how hard they tried, could only be so small. There was no momentum at all, only cuteness.
Oh my god, how can there be such cute creatures! Anjie thought, did you grow up eating cuteness?
Just as Anjie was thinking about whether to let Sylveon or Genesect take action, Slowpoke suddenly volunteered:
"Yadon~ Yadon~" Let me do it! Let me do it!
It had to show off in front of the new boss to make up for its previous misdeeds.
Since it had fallen into their hands and couldn't resist, it had to show its value, then gain appreciation and love, so that it could have a good life.
Slowpoke thought it was very sensible.
However, its behavior made Tapu Lele roll its eyes. It was too fawning.
Anjie looked at Slowpoke in surprise and said, "You? Are you sure you can do it?"
Slowpoke stood upright and patted its chest hard: "Yadon~ Yadon~" I can do it, I guarantee I can.
Anjie then remembered that he hadn't seen Slowpoke's data yet, so he opened the Eye of Data.
Slowpoke
[Type] Psychic, Water
[Ability] Own Tempo
[Gender] Male
[Level] 33
[Moves] Water Gun, Yawn, Disable, Water Pulse, Psychic Headbutt, Psychic, Amnesia, Surf, Slack Off, Psychic Terrain, Wide Guard.
[Individual Values]
HP: 31
Attack: 24
Defense: 19
Special Attack: 31
Special Defense: 20
Speed: 31
After reading it, Anjie looked surprised. It was actually level 33. He didn't expect its level to be so high.
When he saw the move Slack Off, Anjie finally understood why it could last so long in the poisoned state before.
This was a recovery move that restored half of its maximum HP.
In addition, it even knew the rare moves Psychic Terrain and Wide Guard, which could be used together.
Rare, rare.
As for the individual values, they were just passable.
Although there were 3 perfect stats in HP, Special Attack, and Speed, the shortcomings were also obvious. The other three stats didn't exceed 25.
Just as Anjie was about to turn off the Eye of Observation, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Type! This guy's type is wrong!
The usual Slowpoke's type is Water + Psychic, not Psychic + Water.
But what's going on with this one? Why is the primary type Psychic and the secondary type Water?
In the game, the order of a Pokémon's primary and secondary types doesn't really have much practical significance, but the real Pokémon world is different. The primary and secondary types represent which type the Pokémon is more skilled at controlling.
Anjie looked Slowpoke up and down.
Could it be that this guy has something special?
"Yadon?" Slowpoke was confused by Anjie's gaze: If you agree, agree. If you don't agree, you don't agree. Why are you staring at me?
Looking at Slowpoke's cleverness, Anjie thought: This guy might really have something special about him.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"Yadon~ Yadon~" Slowpoke was overjoyed and climbed to face the 6 Wooper.
Anjie shouted at it: "Are you really okay? Should I let Sylveon go with you?"
The Wooper were all attacking together, but if he sent out two Pokémon, it should be no problem.
Although the Wooper's levels weren't high, they were all over 20, not much lower than Slowpoke.
"Yadon~ Yadon~" Slowpoke waved its hand confidently, indicating that it was okay.
"Then… battle start!"
After both sides were ready, with Anjie's command, the 6 Wooper launched an attack at the same time.
"Wooper~ Wooper~" The three on the left wiggled their butts and used Tail Whip, wiggling their butts and wagging their tails, which was extremely cute.
In an instant, Slowpoke's defense was lowered by 3 levels.
Then the three on the right simultaneously used Stomp.
They stomped on the ground with force, and three sharp rocks shot towards Slowpoke.
Slowpoke's defense was lowered by 3 levels at once. If it was hit by three Stomps again, it would definitely lose, even if it had a level advantage.
However, at this moment, a pink light flashed in Slowpoke's eyes. The Psychic move was activated, easily blocking the three rocks attacking it, and fixing the rocks in mid-air.
Then, a purplish-red light spread from it to the entire field, instantly enveloping it and the Wooper.
It was Psychic Terrain.
Before the Wooper could react, the three rocks controlled by Psychic were sent back by Slowpoke.
Seeing that the rock was about to hit Wooper, the Shiny Wooper jumped out. Its eyes narrowed, and it activated the Mud Bomb skill. Water and mud mixed together, forming a mud wall with a buffering effect.
The mud wall successfully blocked Slowpoke's counterattack.
The Shiny Wooper breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it turned out that it was happy too soon.
Immediately afterward, Slowpoke launched a Wide Guard, controlling a pink arc of light that swept towards all the Wooper.
Wide Guard was originally a single-target skill, but if it was inside a Psychic Terrain, it would become a group skill, and its power would increase by 50%.
In addition, the Psychic Terrain itself provided an extra 30% boost to Psychic-type skills, so the damage caused by Wide Guard was terrifying. It instantly shattered the mud wall and struck the Wooper.
As expected, after a series of screams, all the Wooper fell to the ground.
Slowpoke's strength was indeed a bit beyond An Jue's expectations, especially its application of Psychic power, which was skillful and effortless.
He couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, kid. You've got some skills!"
"Yadon~ Ya~" Slowpoke proudly puffed out its chest and raised its chin, but in reality, it was secretly sweating.
With its current strength, activating both Psychic Terrain and Wide Guard at the same time was still a bit of a strain.
On the Psychic Terrain, the power of Wide Guard was indeed greatly enhanced, but the consumption also increased accordingly. At this moment, Slowpoke felt a faint throbbing in its head.
Too reckless, too reckless!
An Jue walked up to Slowpoke and said, "It's rare for you to have this talent. It seems I'll have to train you well in the future."
Upon hearing this, Slowpoke's eyes lit up. It succeeded! It had gained the boss's appreciation. Its desperate performance was not in vain.
Afterward, it even winked triumphantly at Tapu Lele: Learn from me!
Tapu Lele was half-dead with anger: Just a Slowpoke!
An Jue walked up to the Wooper and fed them milk that could restore their stamina one by one. Before long, they woke up one after another.
Then, he took out six Poké Balls and placed them in front of them, saying, "Losers must accept their fate~"
The Wooper looked at each other, then pressed the buttons on the Poké Balls, turning into red light and being sucked in.
Immediately, An Jue looked at Slowpoke and said, "If you have nothing to do, why don't we train your Psychic powers!"
He thought for a moment, then released the Wooper again, and asked them, "Do you know any suitable places for special training nearby?"
"Wooper~ Wooper~" After the Wooper whispered to each other for a while, the Shiny Wooper looked at An Jue and said, "Wooper~ Wooper~" Follow me.
After speaking, it and the other Wooper walked in a certain direction.
Connected to the pond where the Wooper lived was a winding stream. An Jue followed behind the Wooper, going upstream along the stream.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they left the forest, and the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up.
Appearing before An Jue and the others was a wide lake, boundless and endless.
On the grass by the lake, many Pokémon were playing, including Yungoos, Yamper, Comfey, and Bibarel... There were also a group of Ducklett and Swanna on the water.
However, what attracted An Jue's attention was another Pokémon.
Not far from the shore, a gray boulder stood on the lake surface, and a beautiful Pokémon was sitting on it.
Half of its tail hung in the water, creating ripples on the calm lake surface. Its head was raised high, and a beautiful and pleasant song came from its throat, echoing over the empty lake surface.
It was Primarina, and it was also a Shiny Primarina.
(Top: Normal, Bottom: Shiny)
Primarina, the Soloist Pokémon, Water/Fairy, the evolved form of Brionne, the final evolved form of Popplio, a Pokémon that can skillfully use its singing to fight. The sight of Primarina leading a group in a chorus under the moonlight is considered a spectacle.
The arrival of An Jue and his group immediately attracted Primarina's attention. It stopped singing and looked over in confusion.
At this time, the Wooper jumped into the water one after another and explained An Jue's identity and purpose to Primarina.
Primarina was the lord of this lake. After learning that An Jue had no malicious intentions, it smiled at An Jue and signaled An Jue's group to do as they pleased, then continued to sing its song.
Seeing this, An Jue said to Slowpoke, "Alright, let's start training."
"Yadon~ Yadon~" Slowpoke looked puzzled. How should it train?
After thinking for a moment, An Jue said, "How about this, use your Psychic power to control a ball of water and float it in the air, then turn the ball of water into the shape of me or other partners."
This would not only increase Slowpoke's mental strength but also improve its precision in controlling mental power.
Slowpoke said confidently, "Yadon~ Yadon~" That's not difficult at all, watch me!
As it spoke, it quickly climbed to the lake, a flash of light flashed in its eyes, and a ball of water was easily lifted into the air by it.
Then, it began to manipulate its Psychic power, turning the water ball into An Jue's appearance.
The water ball twisted and deformed, gradually gaining hands, feet, and a head... Up to this point, Slowpoke was full of confidence.
Making the water ball have a human shape was indeed not difficult for Slowpoke, but then, when it planned to make the water ball grow fingers, a mouth, eyes, and a nose, an accident happened.
No matter how hard it tried, the organs could not grow in the correct positions.
Soon, an "An Jue" with a crooked nose and slanted eyes, one hand with six fingers and one hand with four fingers, appeared.
"Lele~ Lele~" Tapu Lele mercilessly mocked Slowpoke.
So what, you dare to look down on me with your little skills! Is that even a person you made? Hahahaha~~~
At this time, Primarina noticed the situation on their side. It hesitated for a moment, then opened its mouth and sang a series of soft songs.
Immediately, a ball of water flew into the air under the control of the song and quickly twisted and changed.
The song continued, and the water ball continued to deform.
Just as Slowpoke was being ridiculed, a water ball that looked exactly like An Jue slowly floated to it.
Looking at the lifelike water An Jue, Slowpoke's eyes widened in disbelief.
How was this done?
An Jue was also a little surprised to see this. As expected of the lord of this lake, its control of water was almost miraculous. It not only portrayed An Jue's facial features vividly but also did not miss a single detail of the texture on his clothes.
Slowpoke jumped into the lake with a plop and quickly swam to Primarina, cupping its fists to Primarina non-stop.
Big boss, please accept me as your disciple!
