The weakest in the world...
Hearing those words was like a thunderbolt striking Ryan, leaving him completely stunned!
Not only did he not get an SR, but he actually got the weakest Pokémon...
Ah, this...
"Uh... Mr. Ryan, are you alright?"
Alex looked at the dazed Ryan and asked with concern.
No way, was the blow that big?
"I'm fine, please don't worry..."
Ryan reluctantly replied, though inside he was lamenting how much his heart hurt and his soul felt numb!
My heart really aches for being so full of hope and ending up with this.
Ryan looked at the red carp on the Pokédex screen with grief and indignation. What is this!
"Is this the Magikarp you mentioned last time alongside Feebas, Alex?"
Not paying attention to the disheartened Ryan, Claire looked at the picture of Magikarp with curiosity, remembering very clearly.
Magikarp, one of the biggest transformations after evolution, was mentioned by Alex last time when Charlotte drew Feebas.
"Yes, just as Feebas was once called the ugliest Pokémon in the world, its evolved form Milotic was known as the most beautiful until Diancie appeared and took that title."
"As for Magikarp, it's basically the same as Feebas, or even weaker."
"But once it evolves into Gyarados, its strength skyrockets, making it a T1-level Pokémon among Water-types."
Alex replied with a smile. Evolution is truly magical; although Gyarados has a disadvantage of being four times weaker to electricity, its strengths overshadow its weaknesses.
After all, many Pokémon have quadruple weaknesses, like Salamence being four times weak to Ice, yet it's still strong.
Gyarados is one of the most powerful Water Pokémon, not to mention it can undergo Mega Evolution.
After Mega Evolution, Mega Gyarados changes from Flying to Dark type, enhancing its strength and removing the quadruple weakness.
"Gyarados?" Ryan, who had been doubting himself, was stunned at the name.
Dragon?
"Yeah? Does it evolve into a dragon?" Claire was also surprised. The carp leaping over the dragon gate? No way, can a carp really transform into a dragon?
"Emmm... it's not a real dragon, it just has dragon in its name, but its appearance does have some dragon-like features, right?"
Alex shook his head, knowing they would ask that.
Although Gyarados has dragon in its name, it's similar to Charizard, Aerodactyl, and Lapras before Mega Evolution—only with dragon in the name.
If you stretch it, Gyarados has some resemblance to dragons from mythology.
Maybe 10% or 20%? The shape is somewhat similar, though Alex wouldn't claim Gyarados is like mythical dragons, and Gyarados' face isn't exactly pretty...
"Is it really strong?" Ryan hesitated, looking at the Magikarp picture on the Pokédex.
He was ready to reject this Magikarp, but hearing Alex's words, he hesitated.
T1 level among Water-types...
"In terms of strength alone, Gyarados is definitely a contender," Alex smiled and nodded.
"Though it's not easy for Magikarp to evolve into Gyarados, I believe that with proper care, it will reward you."
"And because Magikarp is weak and not rare, its price isn't high, so I personally recommend keeping it."
Alex rarely spoke so directly, usually being more subtly guiding.
But a Pokémon like Magikarp...
Even with top-notch potential, it's not too expensive, so Alex recommended Ryan keep it.
Who knows when it might evolve, right?
"Okay, I'll take your advice, Alex." Ryan nodded, agreeing.
"Please wait a moment." Alex nodded to Ryan and walked to the back room.
Soon, Alex returned with a bucket.
Ryan and the others looked curiously. Inside the clear water, a large red-scaled fish lay quietly at the bottom.
"It's so big~ If it's steamed, it should be delicious, right?" Claire blinked and joked with a smile.
Charlotte glanced at Claire speechlessly.
"Your thoughts are dangerous, Miss Claire."
Alex raised his eyebrows, looking at Claire helplessly, hearing the joke in her voice.
Pokémon are creatures with high intelligence, though in the Pokémon world, some Pokémon are used as food, like Farfetch'd, which was nearly eaten to extinction...
But Alex personally disliked this practice, as Pokémon are intelligent, and using intelligent creatures as food feels uncomfortable.
"Just kidding, I don't like eating fish."
Claire rolled her eyes playfully and took out her Pokédex.
"Drip~ Magikarp, Water Type, Fish Pokémon
Ability: Swift Swim
Move: Splash
Famous for being unreliable, with poor power and speed, it's the weakest Pokémon in the world."
The mechanical voice of the Pokédex announced slowly.
And hearing that introduction, Sophie was shocked!
Wow, even the Pokédex is so blunt. How weak is this Magikarp, with only the move Splash...
Sophie clicked on the Splash move to read more.
Splash: No attack, just jumping up and down, with no effect.
"..."
BA
"This is simply amazing!"
Claire also noticed the move and looked at the Magikarp in the bucket in astonishment.
Wow, this is truly something else! It's quite the specimen!
"Magikarp is like this. Their bodies are weak, minds dull, but their ability to survive and reproduce is incredibly strong. This may be a gift from nature to them."
Alex shook his head, knowing a weak Pokémon like Magikarp would have gone extinct long ago without strong reproduction and survival abilities.
"It's not a problem, I'll take care of it and make it stronger."
Ryan didn't mind Magikarp's weakness. Alex had said from the start that Magikarp is the weakest Pokémon in the world, so he was prepared.
But that's fine!
Once it evolves into Gyarados, Ryan believed he could make it happen!
"It's great that you have this determination, Mr. Ryan."
Alex smiled, satisfied with Ryan's resolve.
After all, the Magikarp's quality provided by the system is guaranteed. This Magikarp has at least a 90% chance of evolving into Gyarados. If Ryan couldn't do it...
It would only mean he didn't take proper care of Magikarp.
"Alex, what's the price of Magikarp?"
"It's 50,000," Alex thought for a moment, but it was the same price as the Feebas he sold to Charlotte. They aren't much different in terms of potential.
One has a combat power of one point, the other two points, so the price difference isn't significant.
"It's really cheap..." Sophie remarked.

"Alex, I want to draw again."
After paying and buying the Water-type energy cube, Ryan didn't stop at just getting Magikarp.
Though Magikarp has potential, there's no immediate hope. It's too weak right now.
"Of course." Alex wouldn't refuse.
"Take it easy, brother," Sophie whispered to Ryan.
Ryan had mentioned before that he was short on money.
Honestly, she was going to pay for Ryan this time, but she didn't expect him to draw Magikarp.
"Don't worry, I've already asked Mom to get the bank card back."
Ryan replied calmly, his eyes seemingly on fire with determination.
Damn, he had to draw something great today!
Sophie blinked and said nothing.
But she couldn't wait for Ryan to try again.
Beep~Beep~
Suddenly, a sound came from the machine.
"Hey?"
Alex was momentarily stunned, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly looked at an incubator not far away.
"I almost forgot about this little guy."
Alex patted his forehead. He'd been thinking about so many things lately, he really forgot.
Alex walked over to the incubator, opened the lid, and took out the slightly shaking Pokémon egg inside.
"What is that, Alex?"
The four of them gathered around, curiously looking at the Pokémon egg Alex placed on the table.
"This is a Pokémon egg, and all Pokémon hatch from them."
Alex explained. The reproductive system of Pokémon is strange, as all fertile Pokémon lay eggs!
And the strangest thing is that Pokémon and humans don't seem to have reproductive isolation, as it's mentioned in the Pokémon world that there are children born between Pokémon and humans.
Well, not from an egg.
And that child had the ability to sense Pokémon's emotions and hearts, later becoming one of the heroes chosen by Unova's legendary dragon.
Well, that's the green-haired man.
Though it's unclear what Pokémon parented this man or whether it was male or female, it's true he's a descendant of humans and Pokémon.
So it's strange that there are so many secrets to Pokémon creatures.
"A Pokémon egg, wow? So what is this Pokémon?"
Claire's eyes lit up, and Sophie and Ryan were equally curious.
"You'll know when you see it. It's about to hatch."
Alex shook his head, as he didn't know what this Pokémon was either.
But they'd find out soon enough.
Alex watched the Pokémon egg shaking slightly, cracks slowly forming on its surface.
It's hatching!
This is a Pokémon egg given by the system, so it shouldn't be too ordinary.
Alex watched with anticipation. Hopefully, it's something extraordinary, like a shiny Caterpie!
