Chapter 316 War God Snorlax, a fat guy with maxed-out agility!
The berries are all eaten? Upon hearing this, Ash and the others immediately thought, "Are you kidding me?"
Do you know how many pomelos there are here? I wouldn't say hundreds of thousands, but I estimate there are at least 100,000 pomelos. To say that all the pomelos have been eaten is a bit of a joke.
But when everyone looked at the staff's faces, their tense expressions seemed no joke.
Nana's initially amused expression froze and turned serious: "Take me there to see!"
Ash and his friends exchanged glances and quickly followed Nana. They wanted to see who was the guy who could wipe out all the Berry Blossoms from the Seven Islands. Surely it couldn't be those three from Team Rocket again?
In less than three minutes, they followed Nana to the place where the "pomelo thief" was.
It was an extremely large figure, larger than Ash and his two friends combined. It had a deep blue skin, large hands and feet, and a somewhat憨厚 (honest and simple) expression. It was eating berries one after another—wasn't that Snorlax, the gluttonous beast?
"So it was Snorlax—I was wondering what Pokémon could eat all the berries on an island. If it was Snorlax, then it makes sense."
"Stop analyzing this, Ash! Quickly help Nana think of a solution! If this keeps up, all the berries will be eaten!" Serena said, sounding a little anxious.
Snorlax has now devoured all the berries around it. At its speed, it can take down a berry tree in just a few seconds, not even sparing the trunk, and even uprooting it!
If this continues, it won't just be the pomelos that are eaten up, but the pomelos trees will be eaten up too!
The cultivation of pomelo trees requires many demanding conditions, along with meticulous care, for them to thrive. Despite the large number of pomelo trees here, this is actually the result of generations of hard work by the ancestors of Fruit Seven Islands.
If there are no roots at all, then everything will have to start all over again, which would be a very heavy blow to the people of Fruit Seven Islands.
"Damn it, stop eating it! Let go!" After their initial stunned silence, some staff members rushed forward to try and stop Snorlax.
If some wild Pokémon want to eat berries, the staff usually won't chase them away. If one or two berries are enough to fill their stomachs, then let them eat.
But this Snorlax is different. It's not eating berries; it's eating their lives!
If they let this Snorlax eat it, all their ancestors' efforts will be in vain!
However, when several staff members came to Snorlax and tried to break it up, Snorlax continued to eat the grapefruit in its hand without paying any attention. After it finished eating all twenty grapefruits, Snorlax suddenly shook its body, sending several staff members flying.
Several staff members came to surround and kill Snorlax, but it had no effect on him at all, as if he didn't even realize that anyone was trying to stop him.
"Ash, let's use a Pokémon to subdue Snorlax!" Misty suggested to Ash.
"That's exactly what I was thinking, Pikachu, please!" Ash nodded, waved his hand, and Pikachu leaped out from under his feet.
At this moment, information about Snorlax also appeared in Ash's mind.
[Type: Snorlax]

Ash: ————?
Ash rubbed his eyes, thinking for a moment that he had misread it, but when he focused his attention on Snorlax again, Snorlax's information had not changed at all; it still had the potential of 3A and 3S.
Good heavens, is that a Snorlax?! Did you just randomly pick up a Pokémon on the street?!
Can someone tell him what butterfly stroke is? What's this "elite level" thing? And what's this "3S level" qualification?
When did Snorlax's speed reach S-rank?
Although the S-rank here only refers to speed aptitude, it compares aptitude within the same race.
In other words, this Snorlax is definitely among the fastest of its kind. Perhaps only one out of 100,000 Snorlaxes will have this kind of speed, but—even if it is faster than its kind, it is still just a Snorlax.
Even Snorlax, which has the highest speed, should not be able to outspeed Pikachu, which has average speed. This is determined by the inherent stat limits of Pokémon.
However, on the other hand, it is precisely because Snorlax is generally slow that it is even more difficult for them to achieve an S-rank aptitude.
Generally speaking, the probability of a Pokémon like Snorlax having an S-rank speed is several times higher than that of other Pokémon with normal speed, but Snorlax's stats in HP and Defense are generally quite high.
This is called a Pokémon's attribute bias. For example, Ash's Blastoise was decent in other aspects when they first met, but its speed was very slow. This is because of the Blastoise's innate attribute bias.
Therefore, this Snorlax with its S-class speed is simply an anomaly among anomalies. In addition to its outrageous speed, its other five dimensions are also terrifying, with three A's and two S's. The combined S's aptitude means that Snorlax has the potential to advance to the God Realm level.
Even among Ash's many exceptionally talented Pokémon, this Snorlax ranks among the top. If we calculate based on their initial talents, only Charizard and Gardevoir have talents that can rival or surpass Snorlax's.
Ash never expected that he would encounter such a gifted Snorlax while buying berries.
Although this Snorlax seems to have a big appetite, Ash's wealth is more than enough to support it. In addition, there are some specially made energy cubes that can fill Snorlax's gluttonous belly in an instant.
That was specially developed for Snorlax. Without that, unless all the trainers were top-tier millionaires like Ash, they could go bankrupt in the time it takes to eat a meal!
Before those energy cubes were invented, even though Snorlax was a very strong and rare Pokémon, some people didn't dare to catch it even if they encountered it, simply because of Snorlax's terrifying appetite.
However, now that energy cubes are available, even a gluttonous Snorlax can be afforded by many people. But then another problem arises: now that energy cubes have been developed, where will Snorlax find them?
Snorlax is an extremely rare Pokémon with an unknown habitat. It can be found in any region or place, which also means it is quite difficult to find.
Today we encountered a Snorlax with such terrifying talent. Ash felt that Togepi had really stepped up its power. If we don't catch it, it would be a waste of Togepi's lucky buff!
"Pikachu, strike first, use Quick Attack!"
"Pika!!" Pikachu kicked its paws and shot out like a bolt of lightning. The staff nearby only caught a glimpse of a yellow streak of light before Pikachu crashed hard into Snorlax's belly.
Snorlax, who was sitting on the ground enjoying its meal, was knocked back several meters!
However, Pikachu was also thrown back by the recoil from Snorlax's soft belly. It spun around in the air for several times before finally regaining its balance and staggering back to the ground.
It was clearly the one that initiated the attack, so why was it being bounced even further away? Is this Snorlax's defense really that terrifying?
"Ash, is Pikachu acting a little strange?" Misty frowned slightly, leaned close to Ash's ear and whispered, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, making Ash's ear itch.
"There's no problem. Pikachu is in great shape. It's just that Snorlax is too strong," Ash replied without hesitation.
"Is that really true?" Xiaoxia tapped her chin with her slender finger, a hint of doubt on her face. She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In fact, Xiaoxia's feeling was right. She truly deserves to be called a Gym Leader; she noticed something was wrong with Pikachu at a glance. This is Pikachu's current stats.
[Type: Pikachu (Second Evolution)]
Gender: Male
[Attribute: Electric]
[Level: Beginner Dojo]
[Characteristics: Static electricity]
[Skills: 100,000 volts, high-voltage electric shock, lightning, electrical field —]
[Six Dimensions: Physical Attack S (S), Special Attack S (S), Defense B-A (A), Special Defense B-A (A), HP A-S (S), Speed S (S)]
The original three S-level six-dimensional abilities have been increased to four. Compared to the improvement of six A-level to three A-level and three S-level during the first job advancement, the improvement during the second job advancement is not actually that significant.
However, in reality, the difficulty increases exponentially with each additional S-rank talent. No matter how much help the added talent can provide to the spirit, it is extremely difficult to increase it further.
For an ordinary spirit, let alone raising its aptitude to S-rank, even raising it from B to A would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Generally speaking, a Pokémon's inherent aptitude cannot be changed. Only Ash's Pikachu possesses the unique power that can alter its aptitude. At this rate, Pikachu will reach a 6S-rank aptitude by its fourth evolution.
If it's a fifth job advancement—I wonder what will happen.
The experts in the group have actually said that the boosts gained from reincarnation vary. In some parallel worlds, Pikachu only reaches S-rank after six reincarnations, while in others, Pikachu is just as gifted and only needs four reincarnations to reach S-rank.
As for what will happen at higher levels, the experts in the group who have already reached that level say that it's more interesting to let Xiao Zhi figure it out himself.
So far, Ash doesn't know what the realm beyond six S-rank talent is; he's still a long way from that.
After advancing to the second evolution, Pikachu's stat fluctuations gradually stabilize. Now, only its stats in terms of strength and health still fluctuate, while the other stats have become fixed.
For Pikachu, having fixed stats is a very significant thing.
Previously, when Pikachu's stats fluctuated, no matter how much it leveled up, its stats would not change, while other Pokémon's stats would generally decrease by one and a half levels to one level when they leveled up.
Once Pikachu's stats are fixed, they retain the same effect as when they fluctuated. This means that its stats will not change as it levels up, which is equivalent to Pikachu quickly reaching the highest level no matter how high it levels up!
This not only saved a lot of effort, but also a lot of time.
This time allows Pikachu to outpace other Pokémon in leveling up, which is one of the reasons why Pikachu's level drops after reincarnation, but then quickly rises again in a short period of time.
Pikachu is at its weakest right now, but Ash is confident that within a month, Pikachu will be back to its original level.
But now—a beginner gym is still a beginner gym. A single Thunderbolt attack couldn't even KO Snorlax because of its soft fat.
Forget about instantly killing it, it probably didn't even break through its defenses much.
On one hand, Snorlax is tough enough, and on the other hand, Pikachu's strength has declined.
"Snorlax!!" Snorlax doesn't usually take attacks seriously, but that collision just now still hurt him. This time, Snorlax finally transferred its energy from the berry to Pikachu, and its憨厚 (honest and simple) expression turned angry.
Clearly, Snorlax was very unhappy that Pikachu interrupted his eating!
"Snorlax, these berries were grown with great effort by others. If you want to eat them, wait until I catch you and I'll let you eat as many as you want. Don't waste other people's food now!" Ash shouted, trying to reason with Snorlax and persuade it to give up the berries.
But a hungry Snorlax wouldn't listen to anything. He patted his huge belly and then charged forward!
"So fast!" With Xiaoxia's exclamation, Snorlax had already arrived in front of Pikachu and pressed down hard like a mountain crashing down!
"Get out of the way!"
"Pika!" Pikachu leaped backward, dodging Snorlax's Body Slam. Snorlax's massive body crashed onto the ground with a deafening roar, shaking the surrounding ground three times. This shows just how terrifying Snorlax's weight was.
