After returning to Dawn's secret base, Jiang Mo immediately organized his men to inventory the spoils of this operation.
The Poké Balls in the container were neatly arranged in the center of the hall, with Lingxi and Bing Meng responsible for recording the species and status of each Pokémon.
“Young Master, we’ve gained quite a lot this time!” Lingxi said with a smile while recording, “There are more than a dozen Starter Pokémon alone, and the quality of the other Pokémon is also good.”
Jiang Mo nodded, his gaze sweeping over the Poké Balls, and he said calmly, “Distribute these Pokémon based on merit.”
“The Starter Pokémon will be given as rewards to members who have contributed, and the other Pokémon will also be distributed according to their contributions, so that everyone can improve as much as possible.”
Lingxi and Bing Meng exchanged glances, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
They knew that Jiang Mo had always been fair in rewards and punishments, and the success of this operation would undoubtedly elevate Dawn's overall strength to a new level.
“Young Master is wise!” Ye Hou excitedly rubbed his hands, “If the brothers know they can get Starter Pokémon, they’ll definitely go crazy with joy!”
Jiang Mo smiled slightly and said nothing more.
He walked to the Starter Pokémon’s Poké Balls, picked one up casually, and examined it carefully.
Suddenly, his gaze lingered on a blue Great Ball, and his brows furrowed slightly.
“This Mudkip…” Jiang Mo murmured softly, then activated the game panel to scan this Mudkip.
Pokémon: Mudkip
Gender: Male
Attribute: Water
Level: Level 15 (Early Intermediate)
Ability: Sap Sipper
Held Item: None
Skills: Tackle, Growl, Water Gun, Mud Shot, Rock Smash, Arm Thrust, Rock Smash, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Protect, Supersonic
Egg Moves: Mirror Coat, Ancient Power, Wide Guard, Counter
Evaluation: A special Mudkip with the rare Sap Sipper Ability, which allows it to be immune to Grass-type move damage and restore HP when hit by Grass-type moves.
It is important to know that Mudkip's final evolution, Swampert, has an excellent Water/Ground type combination, offering a wide range of offensive and defensive capabilities.
Now, its only four-times weakness to Grass-type moves is perfectly compensated by the Sap Sipper Ability, which means this Mudkip has immense potential and is very much worth training.
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Mo’s eyes.
A Mudkip with the Sap Sipper Ability?
This was simply unheard of!
Mudkip's final evolution, Swampert, is already known for its powerful defense and offense, with its only weakness being Grass-type moves.
And this Mudkip's Sap Sipper Ability just happened to compensate for this weakness, even allowing it to restore HP when hit by Grass-type attacks.
“I want this Mudkip,” Jiang Mo said without hesitation.
Lingxi and Bing Meng were both a little surprised to hear this.
Jiang Mo rarely actively chose Pokémon, especially newly captured ones.
However, they quickly reacted and nodded, responding, “Understood, Young Master.”
Jiang Mo picked up the blue Great Ball and gently pressed the button.
A blue light flashed, and Mudkip appeared before everyone.
It had light blue skin, and the fin on its head looked like a small leaf, but its eyes showed a dull expression.
“Mudkip, from now on, you are my partner.” Jiang Mo squatted down and extended his hand with a smile.
Mudkip tilted its head, looked at Jiang Mo, then gently rubbed his hand, letting out a dazed cry: “Gara!”
Although Jiang Mo was a little puzzled as to why this Mudkip surrendered so easily, he still smiled and returned Mudkip to its Poké Ball.
He then said to everyone, “For the remaining Pokémon, distribute them according to merit. Remember, every member of Dawn is important, and we want to make everyone stronger.”
“Yes, Young Master!” everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.
Since Jiang Mo took over Dawn, the organization's treatment and benefits have improved significantly.
He not only rewarded and punished fairly but also often provided members with high-quality resources and training opportunities.
The success of this operation further elevated everyone's loyalty to Jiang Mo to a new level.
“Young Master, don’t worry, we will definitely not let you down!” Ye Hou patted his chest and said, and other members also echoed him.
Jiang Mo nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and he said firmly, “The future of Dawn depends on the efforts of each and every one of us. As long as we are united, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. By then, there will be money, and there will be power.”
“Yes!” everyone replied in unison, their voices filled with fighting spirit.
Just then, Lingxi walked over and whispered to Jiang Mo, “Young Master, Dr. Bulano sent word that he has begun researching that Noivern, but he seems to have discovered something unusual.”
Jiang Mo frowned and asked, “Something unusual? What exactly is it?”
Lingxi shook her head and said, “The Doctor said he needs further analysis, but he suspects that the Hunter Organization may be using some kind of Dark Energy to modify Pokémon.”
Jiang Mo's eyes became stern. The Hunter Organization was indeed not an ordinary assassin organization.
The Hunter Organization's ambition should be more terrifying than he imagined.
“Keep an eye on the Doctor’s research progress, and notify me immediately if there is any news.” Jiang Mo said in a deep voice.
“Understood,” Lingxi nodded in response.
......
After returning home, Jiang Mo released Mudkip from its Poké Ball, wanting it to get used to the environment.
However, Mudkip's behavior gave him a headache.
As soon as Mudkip came out, it stood still blankly, its eyes empty, as if it had no interest in anything around it.
Pikachu and Haunter, seeing this, immediately gathered around, trying to cheer it up.
Pikachu jumped in front of Mudkip, made a funny face, and even deliberately poked it gently with its tail: “Pika Pika!”
However, Mudkip merely tilted its head, still looking blank, as if it hadn't even noticed Pikachu's presence.
Haunter was not to be outdone, floating in front of Mudkip, making a comical gesture with its long tongue, and even drawing a smiley face in the air with Shadow Ball.
However, Mudkip still showed no reaction, not even blinking an eye.
“Pika…” Pikachu drooped its ears in frustration, turning to look at Jiang Mo, as if asking, “Is there something wrong with this guy’s head?”
Jiang Mo was also a little helpless. He squatted down and gently patted Mudkip's head: “Mudkip, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Mudkip still showed no reaction, just staring blankly ahead, as if the whole world had nothing to do with it.
Jiang Mo frowned, wondering if there was really something wrong with this Mudkip.
He thought for a moment and decided to try to attract its attention with food.
He took out a large pile of Water and Ground-type energy cubes and placed them in front of Mudkip: “Mudkip, come, have some food.”
