Shigeru was lucky; the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex was out and about.
Seeing Gary and Sabrina riding their armored rhinoceroses, the armored tyrannosaurus didn't pay much attention and just sunbathed by itself.
【LV45 Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex♂/Near-King】
A potential Elite Four member, the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex!!
Shigeru decides to capture this armored Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This was the first time Xiao Shi had encountered such a high-level wild Pokémon during his long journey.
Xiao Mao jumped off the back of the Armored Rhino, walked up to the Armored Tyrannosaurus, and said, "Armored Tyrannosaurus, how about becoming my Pokémon?"
The armored tyrannosaurus opened its eyes, sized up Xiao Shi, and shook its head in disdain.
“You don’t have to rush to refuse. Come with me. I can help you become stronger. You must be bored staying here alone,” Xiao Mao said.
When Ironhide heard what Shigeru said, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He didn't understand how Shigeru knew that he would find it boring.
Shigeru would think this way, naturally because of the level of the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus.
This Ironclad Tyrannosaurus is level 45. Very few can reach level 45 in the hunting zone. In addition, there are no suitable opponents here. The Ironclad Tyrannosaurus can only reach level 45 through diligent training.
There were many rubble blocks nearby, which were probably the result of the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex's training.
"Roar!!"
The armored tyrannosaurus let out a deep roar.
“It asks you why you should believe what you say,” Naz helped translate.
"You can come with me first and have a battle outside. If I win, you'll become my Pokémon. If I lose, I can give you a protective gear," said Xiao Shi.
Armored Tyrannosaurus: "Roar???"
“It asks you what kind of protective gear you are,” Naz said.
Xiaomao "...!"
Pokémon that need evolution items to evolve are unaware that they have an evolutionary stage in the wild.
"The protective gear is a tool that humans specifically researched for Tyrannosaurus Rex. Wearing it will allow you to evolve into Super Tyrannosaurus Rex," Xiao Shi explained.
"Roar!!" The Ironclad Tyrannosaurus was startled. Upon hearing that it could evolve, it immediately agreed to Shigeru's request.
This wild Tyrannosaurus Rex doesn't reject evolution; evolution means becoming stronger, so this deal isn't a loss for the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Okay, then come in." Xiao Mao took out a Hunting Ball and threw it at the Ironhide Rhyperior.
The Ironhide Raptor made no attempt to dodge; the Hunting Ball opened upon impact and captured it.
The hunting ball wobbled three times on the ground before stopping.
According to the task issued by the system, the Blue Team has gathered all six Pokémon. All that is left is to evolve Pidgeotto into Pidgeot and Growlithe into Arcanine, and the task will be completed.
"Saria, do you have any other Pokémon you want to catch?" Gary asked.
I came to the hunting grounds to tame the Armored Rhinoceros, but I didn't expect to find an Armored Tyrannosaurus here. This saves Little Blue the trouble of raising one.
As for going outside and fighting Tyrannosaurus Rex, that's not something you can win easily. Blastoise can take down Tyrannosaurus Rex with a single Water Gun.
The Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex was too well protected in the hunting area and had no idea of the wickedness of people. Now that it has been captured, it is not going to escape.
"That's all. There aren't any Pokémon I want to catch here. Let's go," Sabrina said.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Mao didn't try to persuade him further.
There are some rare Pokémon in the Hunting Grounds, but none of them have the Psychic attribute, so they don't catch Sabrina's eye.
There is a Dragonair and a Dratini in Dragon Valley, they are mother and child, but the hunting zone is not considered the wild, and you are not allowed to catch rare Pokémon here.
Even if you capture Dragonair and Dratini, the Pokémon League will require you to release them.
Moreover, this Dragonair has lived for decades without evolving into a Dragonite, so its potential should only be that of a near-Elite Four member, which would mean it's around level 50.
If Gary uses all his Pokémon together, he might have a chance to defeat them, but battles are not allowed in the Safari Zone, and Gary wouldn't risk being wanted for just two pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Although Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary, it is too weak among pseudo-legendary creatures, far inferior to Garchomp and Salamence.
...!
Back in the reception hall of the hunting grounds.
"You only captured one Pokémon?"
When the Safari Ball passed the conveyor belt machine, only one Poké Ball was displayed as being passed; the rest of the Pokémon were still in their boxes, much to Caesar's surprise.
An ordinary person wouldn't be satisfied without using all 30 hunting balls.
"We don't need too many Pokémon, just one is enough," said Gary.
"Then why don't you capture more elves, beautiful lady?" Caesar asked.
"There aren't any elves I want inside," Sabrina replied coldly.
Caesar was surprised that Sabrina didn't even want one of the elves in the hunting grounds.
Next, Gary and Sabrina went to the teleporter and called Professor Oak.
"Shigeru, why are you calling me again?" Professor Oak asked.
During this period, Gary has been contacting us quite frequently, which has made Professor Oak feel a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, I caught a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the hunting grounds and just teleported to you. I need you to teleport it to me," said Xiao Mao.
"A Tyrannosaurus Rex! That's an incredibly powerful Pokémon!" Professor Oak exclaimed.
Chapter 84: The Green Team Assembles
"It's alright." Xiao Mao didn't actually fight the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex; he just used his persuasive skills to convince it beforehand, but they would still have to fight later.
"So, which Pokémon are you planning to send over?" Professor Oak asked.
"The Cross Bat, I suppose," said Xiao Mao.
"Crobat...! Your Zubat has evolved."
"Yes."
"Alright, I was just thinking of researching how loud the flapping of the wings of a Crobat makes when it flies. Please teleport over here quickly."
So, Gary teleported Crobat to Professor Oak's lab and received the Tyrannosaurus Rex from Professor Oak.
Shigeru picked up the Hunting Ball and checked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's stats.
【Sprite: Ironclad Tyrannosaurus♂】
[Attribute: ground, rock]
【Level: 45】
[Potential: Quasi-king]
[Ability: Lightning Rod (Attracts Electric-type moves to itself, preventing damage and raising its Special Attack.)]
[Skills: Impact, Stomp, Knock Down, Horn Charge, Stomp, Rock Blast, Straight Drill, Ram, Arm Hammer.]
【Intimacy Level: 115 (Maximum 255)】
"How come it has the characteristics of a lightning rod..."
This Rhyperior has good stats in all aspects, but its uniqueness is a bit lacking. Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type moves, and Lightning Rod can boost its Special Attack after absorbing electricity. Rhyperior is a Physical Attacker with extremely low Special Attack.
Fortunately, the Elf Company was able to develop the Ability Capsule, so this ability is not a major concern.
"Saria, do you want to see my fight with the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus?" Shigeru asked.
"No need, you guys fight, I need to look after Eevee," Sabrina said.
Sabrina's Eevee has now reached level 26. Because she wants Eevee to evolve into Espeon, Sabrina keeps an eye on Eevee during the day.
"Okay, I'll go out then."
Shigeru waved his hand, went outside the hunting grounds, found an open space, and released the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus.
"Roar!" The Ironhide Tyrannosaurus looked around at its surroundings, then looked at Gary, signaling him to quickly release his Pokémon.
"Don't worry, my strength won't disappoint you." Shigeru took the Pokémon off his belt and tossed it gently.
Baton!
"Kami!"
Blastoise emerges from the Poké Ball.
"Roar!!"
The Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately became alert. Although it had never fought Blastoise before, it could sense the thick water vapor on Blastoise's body, so it was definitely a Water-type Pokémon.
A Pokémon that can grow to level 45 in the wild has naturally encountered Pokémon that are effective against it and knows what its weaknesses are.
"Ironclad Tyrannosaurus, do we still want to fight?" Xiao Mao asked.
"Roar!!"
The armored tyrannosaurus roared, how could it back down just because its opponent had a counter to it?
A rock materialized in front of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which then lifted the rock with one hand and threw it at Blastoise.
"Cannon light cannon!"
Blastoise fired two silver beams from its two cannons, instantly shattering the rocks and striking Rhyperior. The effect was remarkable, but Rhyperior managed to withstand the damage thanks to its high physical defense.
"Roar!!"
The armored tyrannosaurus roared, and the drill on its forehead began to spin rapidly as it charged straight at the enemy.
"Commendable courage, but unfortunately this won't work." Xiao Mao secretly praised him, then ordered, "Water cannons!"
"Kami!"
Bang!Bang!
Blastoise fired water from its two cannons, creating two jets of water that instantly forced Tyrannosaurus Rex back, sending it flying more than ten meters before it stopped.
