Lin Che's eyes suddenly sharpened. This was no ordinary surprise; hidden abilities were extremely rare in Pokémon, and each one possessed the potential to change the course of a battle!
Individual Values: 5V (HP-V, ATK-V, DEF-V, SPA-U, SPD-V, SPE-V)
His breathing began to quicken.
5V! Except for Special Attack (SPA), which is reduced by its nature and is normal (U), all other five stats have reached their maximum individual values (V)!
What a terrifying innate foundation this is!
This means that it has near-perfect growth potential in the five dimensions of stamina, attack, defense, special defense, and speed!
[Personality: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)]
perfect!
Stubborn personality, increases attack, reduces special attack that is completely useless.
This personality trait, along with the "Heart of Justice" characteristic and the impressive 5V individual values, forms the perfect closed loop!
A path built on pure physical violence has been clearly laid out before us!
Lin Che felt his throat was a little dry. He forced himself to calm down and slowly moved his gaze down to the last column of the data panel.
That's the most crucial assessment that determines a Pokémon's final height.
[Potential Assessment: Top-Tier!]
The moment those two Chinese characters, seemingly containing immeasurable weight, crashed into his eyes.
Lin Che's heart felt as if it had been struck by a giant hammer, skipping a beat.
Time, sound, everything around us is fading away.
The air was completely sucked out of his lungs, giving him a suffocating dizziness.
All that remained in his vision was the pale blue panel and the two almost burning golden characters at the bottom of it.
sky……
King level!
It's actually a Heavenly King level!
Moreover, it is a top-tier Pokémon with a rare hidden ability, a personality perfectly suited to an offensive build, and an IV of 5V!
At this moment, all of Lin Che's plans, expectations, and searches found their answers.
he knows.
He knew it with absolute certainty.
My first and most important partner, the one who will guide me on my path to becoming a legendary trainer, is right before me!
Chapter 7 The Abandoned Elite Four Level Growlithe!
Lin Che squatted down.
He pushed aside the pile of clutter that was half a person high in front of him, his gaze piercing through the dim light, and precisely locked onto the old cardboard box.
A complex odor, a mixture of post-rain mold and urban garbage, was spreading from the depths of the alley.
But at that moment, all his senses were firmly captured by the tiny figure curled up inside the cardboard box.
A Growlithe dog.
A young Growlithe.
Its body was covered in grime, and its once fluffy orange fur was now a tangled mess, dull and lifeless. It buried its head deep between its front paws, and with each breath, its body trembled almost imperceptibly.
Lin Che's heart tightened.
He didn't approach immediately; instead, he remained where he was and activated his innate ability.
The Eye of Truth.
In an instant, a virtual panel composed of countless streams of faint light, visible only to him, quietly unfolded above Growlithe.
[Pokémon: Growlithe]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: LV.1]
[Potential Assessment: Top-Tier]
[Status: Weak, mild malnutrition, psychological trauma from abandonment]
[Ability: Flash Fire (Hidden Ability: Righteous Heart)]
[Inherited Skills: Dawn, Close Combat, Roar]
Basic skills: Bite, Spark
[Affection Level: -10 (Fear)]
Every word on the panel transformed into an electric current, violently impacting Lin Che's nerves.
King level!
Hidden features!
And those two truly exceptional inherited skills!
This can no longer be described as simply "finding a treasure"; it's like a huge pie falling from the sky, enough to change one's entire life.
An overwhelming sense of ecstasy exploded in his chest, almost bursting out of his throat.
His first reaction was to rush forward without hesitation and claim the little guy as his own.
This is the most primal and naked possessiveness.
But just before he could lift his foot, he was firmly rooted to the spot.
His gaze slowly moved down from the glaring "King-level" potential assessment, finally settling on the grayed-out status description.
[Weakness, mild malnutrition, and psychological trauma from abandonment]
The power of the Eye of Truth deepened further, allowing him to see even more.
He saw, beneath the tangled hair, tiny scabs that had formed, but the surrounding skin was still red and swollen.
He saw the little guy's eyeballs trembling anxiously beneath his tightly closed eyelids.
He could even sense how faint the flame of life was within that small body, as if it could be extinguished at any moment by the cold wind in the alley.
This is an elf that was abandoned by humans.
A life with an unparalleled future is now suffering immense pain and fear.
Excellent quality.
The current situation is tragic.
The stark contrast between the two acted like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Che's heart with devastating force.
The fervor that had just arisen from greed was instantly extinguished and cooled, then sublimated into a completely different emotion.
It was a heavy burden, something called "responsibility".
He no longer simply wanted to "get" it.
Rather, it stemmed from a genuine desire to "save" it.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but a serious, potentially fatal, problem also emerges.
He can only go to the Trainers Association to pick up his trainer certificate tomorrow.
Without a legitimate trainer status, he couldn't use Poké Balls, couldn't legally capture the Growlithe, and couldn't take it to a Pokémon Center for proper treatment.
But if we just let it go...
Lin Che glanced at the sky; the afterglow of the setting sun was being rapidly swallowed by the shadows of the tall buildings, and night was about to fall.
Given the current condition of this Growlithe, it's very likely it won't make it through the night.
can not wait.
Not a second can be wasted!
Lin Che immediately pulled his phone out of his pocket, his fingertips turning white from the force, and quickly swiped the screen to dial the first number.
Father, Lin Jianguo.
"Hey, Xiao Che? Why are you calling me instead of going out and having fun after the college entrance exam?"
The father's steady voice, tinged with a hint of teasing, came from the other end of the phone.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Lin Che quickly recounted the events of the incident.
Lin Jianguo remained silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"A Growlithe with the potential to become a Champion? And it's been abandoned?"
His voice revealed a hint of surprise, but more so a decisiveness born of experience.
"If you want to subdue it, then go for it. This is your opportunity. If you don't have enough money, Dad will find a way to help you."
"The problem is I don't have the qualification certificate, Dad. Can you come back now?"
"I'm out of town, and I can't leave my project. I won't be home until 10 p.m. at the earliest."
Distant water cannot save near fire.
Lin Che's heart sank.
"Don't worry," Lin Jianguo reassured her. "Doesn't your mother have a certificate? Try asking her."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Che looked at the name "Mother" in his contacts and frowned.
This is the real challenge.
He took a deep breath and finally gritted his teeth and dialed it.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, with background noise mixed with the sounds of a TV series.
