Chapter 7: Little Pony?
Ignoring Hou Hao behind her, Luo Yan immediately gave the order.
"Iris, use [Magic Enhancement]!"
Giving yourself a buff first during battle is always a good idea, and this is a habit that Luo Yan has always cultivated.
Unlike this world, the skills of the elves in the Kingdom of Roc have great bonuses and power.
Take [Magic Boost] as an example. This skill increases damage by 70%. Keep in mind that a Pokémon's Special Attack bonus is only 1.5 times, so this is a difference of one-fifth.
At the same time, the little unicorn's characteristic is [Arrogance], which increases the power of non-light-type skills by 25%, and this wide-range attack characteristic is also very powerful.
Unfortunately, it seems that Iris has forgotten the other elemental skills she possesses at this time, and is unable to unleash her full potential.
On the other side, Arbok seemed to have also noticed that the little unicorn was strengthening itself. It immediately took action, quickly approaching Iris and biting her.
"Jump to avoid it, then use [Ambush]."
Almost immediately after Luo Yan finished speaking, Iris reacted.
With a sudden stomp, he leaped into the air, dodging Arbok's bite attack. Without slowing down, he landed, twisted his body, and charged directly at Arbok.
Arbok sensed the danger. It only had time to turn around before it was met with a figure enveloped in light.
It was too late to dodge at this point. As expected, Arbok was knocked away, and the powerful attack instantly rendered it unable to fight.
Iris was startled; he hadn't realized the snake was so fragile. Luo Yan was equally startled; he discovered that the [Surprise Attack] was more powerful than he had imagined.
Even with the [Magic Enhancement] buff, instantly killing Arbok is a bit outrageous, considering that Iris should still be a child.
Yes.
This is what Luo Yan wanted to prove.
That is, in this world, how different are the skills of the elves in the Kingdom of Roc from the skills of Pokémon?
Only by truly understanding these things can Luo Yan make his next plans. He needs to figure out exactly how much capital and power he possesses.
Currently, the Pokémon in the Kingdom of Rock are slightly stronger in terms of skills, but that's about it. If the mythical beasts in this world really have the legendary power, then the power of their skills is just a numerical value.
It's important to know that the impact of Onix's "slam" is not comparable to that of Caterpie's "slam." The latter might only cause a slight pain, while the former can send someone to the hospital.
Having figured this out, Luo Yan gathered his thoughts, then took out some medicine and Pokémon food from his bag and went to Arbok.
"Thank you for your hard work, little one. Consider this a thank you gift."
It's worth mentioning that Luo Yan only sprayed Arbok from a distance and didn't get too close.
After all, it's still a wild Pokémon. If it suddenly gets up and bites you, there's no one to complain to.
Having regained some strength, the Arbok swallowed the food in a few bites, then turned and disappeared into the grass.
After doing all this, Luo Yan turned to look at Hou Hao, who remained silent.
It wasn't until this moment that Hou Hao seemed to wake from a dream, holding his phone, mouth agape, pointing at Iris.
"No, it can't be wrong..."
"This is!"
"You know him??" This time it was Luo Yan's turn to be stunned.
This is an elf from the Kingdom of Locke; how could Hou Hao of this world possibly recognize it?
"Of course I know him!"
Hou Hao glanced at his phone, then at Iris.
"A little pony from the Caribbean! And it's a different color!!"
"puff."
Luo Yan almost fainted from a sudden loss of breath.
He thought Hou Hao was going to come up with some kind of explosive statement, but it turns out he just mistook the little unicorn for a special species from the Caribbean.
The Caribbean is a very special region on Earth because, for some special reasons, the Pokémon there are different from those in most other places.
For example, Ponyta. Normally, Ponyta should be a Fire-type, but in the Caribbean, Ponyta is a Psychic-type, and its appearance is completely different from that of a normal Ponyta.
However, the little unicorn clan does resemble the little pony in the Caribbean, the only difference being the color of the hair on their feet and their mane.
But this is also a good thing. Compared to exposing the elves of the Kingdom of Rock before they have any strength, it's not a bad thing to let Iris disguise herself as a little pony.
"Holy crap, bro!"
"When did you get that oddly colored Ponyta!?"
"Your uncle—no, our dad—no, your old man—is too fierce! Do you know how difficult it is to deal with the little ponytails in the Caribbean?!"
"It's a different color too!!"
Hou Hao clutched his chest with both hands, feeling like he was about to collapse at any moment.
I'm afraid my brother will suffer, and I'm also afraid my brother will drive a Land Rover.
This is exactly what Hou Hao is saying now.
What he found even more unacceptable than not having a starter Pokémon himself was that his best friend had a perfect start.
Luo Yan didn't think too much about it. He was currently struggling with Iris's attribute, because Iris wasn't a superpower type or a fire type; she was a light type.
Where did the Light type come from in Pokémon? Even the Fairy type is just something we learned in class.
But it doesn't matter, it's just one more attribute. Luo Yan isn't a Pokémon researcher, he only needs to know that Light type is weak to Grass and Ghost types, and is resistant to Dark and Illusion types.
The illusion type should be compared to the psychic type... I guess?
This still needs to be verified.
"Brother, did you hear me? Did you—hear—you—?!"
Hou Hao shook Luo Yan, calling out to him as he drifted off into his own world.
"Oh dear, I heard that, I heard that! It's just a different colored elf, why are you making such a fuss?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hou Hao looked as if he had heard something out of a ghost story.
Although the oddly colored elves in the Kingdom of Roc are rare, they are not few. Some of the elves that have been corrupted by nightmare energy will change the color of their bodies, and Luo Yan has encountered quite a few.
But he seems to have forgotten the differences in this world.
In the Kingdom of Loque, a shiny Pokémon is simply a different color, but a shiny Pokémon can increase its base stats.
Moreover, shiny Pokémon are extremely rare here.
"Do you even know how rare this little one is?!"
Hou Hao was furious at his lack of ambition. "Remember that guy online who caught a different color Rattata? He's terrible in actual combat, but do you know how much money he made from streaming?"
"No wonder you dared to sleep in the teacher's class. Now I understand. With such a lucky charm, why would you need to take the college entrance exam?"
"Not to mention this little one's potential, it's probably no less than that of the three starter Pokémon..."
