18: Section 18

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu wasn't too surprised.

After all, after eating the experience candy, its level had already reached the verge of evolution, so it was quite normal for it to trigger evolution now.

Since Zhang Yu already knew what was going on, he simply watched Charmander, who was enveloped in white light, without disturbing it.

Under the white light, Charmander's body was rapidly growing larger.

When the white light dissipated, and Charmander reappeared, its height had not only reached 1.2 meters, but its skin had also changed from orange to red.

And everyone could clearly see that, compared to before, Charmander now looked much fiercer.

No, it was no longer appropriate to call it Charmander; its current name should be Charmeleon.

"So Pokémon skills have that kind of effect, too? That's really unexpected."

"Indeed, after all, battles between Pokémon rarely happen, and if those skills hit humans, humans wouldn't be able to withstand them at all, nor would they see any effect."

"No, after my comparison, I found that even when Pokémon attack humans, they don't really use skills. Perhaps, as Anchor said before, it's less about launching an attack and more about issuing a warning."

"It seems that's true. When Pokémon use skills, there are clear signs of energy usage, which is rarely seen when they act against humans."

"Huh?! Charmander actually evolved? I thought Charmander was so powerful that it shouldn't be able to evolve."

"Didn't Anchor say before that Charmander could evolve?"

"Yes, and Anchor also seemed to say that Charmander was still just a child?"

"No way? Charmander is already so powerful, and it's still just a child? How powerful must its parents be?"

"Perhaps Charmander is indeed just a child. Look at Charmander's evolved form; it has clearly grown a lot and looks much fiercer."

"Although from its appearance, you can still see Charmander's original look, the feeling they give off is too different, isn't it?"

"I just feel like Charmander has become a lot fiercer after evolving. Anchor won't be in any danger, will he?"

"This... it shouldn't be, right?"

After hearing Zhang Yu's introduction to the paralyzed state, many Water Friends showed expressions of sudden realization. No wonder Tyrogue's performance seemed so abnormal before; so that's what it was.

But soon, they no longer cared about these things and were instead attracted by the evolving Charmander.

They clearly hadn't expected that after seeing Caterpie's evolution, they would so quickly see Charmander's evolution again.

At the same time, they couldn't help but worry a little about Zhang Yu.

After all, Charmeleon's current appearance didn't seem as easy to get along with as Charmander's.

Chapter 28 Charmeleon (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

"Charmeleon, congratulations, you've successfully completed your evolution."

Upon seeing that Charmeleon had finished evolving, Zhang Yu immediately congratulated it and reached out to stroke Charmeleon's small head.

"Char~"

Feeling Zhang Yu's caress, Charmeleon instinctively narrowed its eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, it immediately opened its eyes and turned its head away.

"Don't worry, although Charmander's personality does change after evolving into Charmeleon, for me, who has truly gained its approval, it actually won't have much of an impact."

"To give everyone an understanding of Charmander's evolved form, let me introduce its current situation."

At the same time, Zhang Yu also noticed the situation in the live broadcast room and immediately spoke to reassure them.

"Charmander's evolved name is Charmeleon. Like before, it is still a Fire-type Pokémon."

"However, compared to Charmander, Charmeleon's personality is much more fiery."

"Affected by this, wild Charmeleon often seek out opponents to battle and are always restless. During battles with strong enemies, if their emotions become excited, blue-white flames will ignite on their tails."

"And compared to Charmander, Charmeleon is more aggressive and more irritable, so if you see a Charmeleon, definitely don't provoke them."

"However, it's not actually easy for you to encounter a Charmeleon."

"Because whether it's Charmander or Charmeleon, they usually inhabit special environments like volcanoes, so encountering them elsewhere is very much a matter of luck."

"If we're talking about Charmander's biggest change after evolving into Charmeleon, it would actually be its strength."

"After evolving, Charmeleon's strength has completely improved, and it can also learn some more powerful skills."

As Zhang Yu introduced Charmeleon, he also felt a little wistful.

Others didn't know, but he did: Charmander, as one of the starter Pokémon, is very difficult to encounter in the wild.

His luck in encountering a Charmander in the forest, and one that was separated from its parents, was truly extraordinary.

"So Charmander's evolved form is called Charmeleon?"

"The first time I saw Charmeleon, I felt its personality would be more volatile, and now it seems I was right."

"Although Charmeleon looks a bit fierce, judging by its interaction with Anchor, the change isn't as big as we initially thought."

"Perhaps, but I feel it's only like this when facing Anchor. When it faces other people, it might not be the same."

"Indeed, if it were Charmander, I might even be able to pet it if I saw it, but with Charmeleon, that's probably out of the question."

"Actually, I think it's fine. Although Charmeleon might be a bit fierce, it's not a Pokémon with strong territorial instincts like Beedrill. At the very least, you won't encounter something like Beedrill, where if you accidentally enter their territory, you might be chased down by them."

"Indeed, Pokémon with strong territorial instincts like Beedrill are the most troublesome. With other Pokémon, as long as you don't provoke them, there won't be any danger, but with Beedrill, it's different."

"Yeah, you wouldn't even know if you entered Beedrill's territory, and by the time you realize it, you've already been discovered by Beedrill."

After hearing Zhang Yu's introduction to Charmeleon, the Water Friends quickly began discussing.

Although Charmeleon at this time didn't look easy to mess with, due to the good impression Charmander had left on them, and its current performance, the Water Friends didn't take these changes too much to heart.

However, they did remember Zhang Yu's advice about not casually provoking Charmeleon.

Of course, even if they hadn't remembered this point, it wouldn't have had much impact.

After all, most people actually don't have the opportunity to encounter wild starter Pokémon.

(Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Pokémon: Charmeleon, gaining 1 Influence Point!)

Upon seeing the series of prompts from the system, Zhang Yu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Compared to before, his current Popularization Points had become much more stable.

Except for a few who wouldn't give up until they hit a wall, everyone else had already believed his popularization efforts.

"Ba-lu~"

And it was at this moment that a Growl suddenly caught his attention.

When he looked in the direction the Growl came from, he saw that Tyrogue, who had originally lost its ability to battle, had woken up. It was now looking at Charmeleon with an envious expression.

Clearly, he already knew that Charmeleon had just undergone an evolution.

"Gulu-lulu~"

It was at this moment that an inharmonious sound came from its stomach, which immediately made Tyrogue a little embarrassed.

"Are you hungry?"

"Take these berries and eat them."

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu immediately took out a few ranz berry and a Cheri Berry from his backpack and handed them to Tyrogue.

The ranz berry had a certain healing effect, while the Cheri Berry could relieve the paralyzed state, which could just heal its injuries and abnormal status at the same time.

"Ba-lu!"

Upon seeing the berries Zhang Yu offered, Tyrogue first thanked him, then immediately took them and began to eat.

However, it soon stopped again, because it noticed that Charmeleon seemed to be watching it... and the berries in its hand.

This made Tyrogue think that Charmeleon was also hungry, so it tentatively offered a blue orange to Charmeleon.

"Char~"

However, to its surprise, Charmeleon shook its head at it after seeing this scene.

Instead, it turned its head and looked directly at Zhang Yu.

It wasn't hungry, it was just a little tempted by watching others eat.

Chapter 29: The Trend-Chasers Arrive (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

"Got it, go ahead and eat."

After sensing Charmeleon's emotions through his Aura, Zhang Yu first gave it an exasperated glare, then took out some energy cubes he had prepared earlier and handed them to it.

Charmeleon completely ignored Zhang Yu's glare. After taking the energy cubes he handed over, it began to eat them carelessly.

Zhang Yu realized that after Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, its skin seemed to have thickened as well.

"Is it just my imagination? Tyrogue and Charmeleon were just battling, but after only a short while, their relationship suddenly improved, and they're already sharing food?"
