Chapter 468: Super Magic Makeup Artist, the Evolution Method of Ugliopoulos
Beigu Town.

This is a town built on a huge rock. It is full of fashion and many ceramics are produced here. The pillar industry is also the pottery industry.

Beigu Town is located in the southwest of the Padia region. Looking outward, you can see the vast ocean, leading to a corner of the world.

There is also a very famous large cave "Baked Hollow" nearby, which is home to many rare wild Pokémon and is very popular among trainers.

If there were no air taxis or flying Pokémon, the only way to reach Beigu Town would be to cross the Beigu Cave, which would make transportation very inconvenient.

therefore.

A large number of motorcycle lizards are raised in Beigu Town. Both the residents' travel and the transportation of goods rely on motorcycle lizards.

After Luo Mu and his four companions arrived under the giant rock, they were divided into groups of two and flew directly to the rock on Dragonite.

"A town built on a huge rock, how amazing!"

Xiaozhi said excitedly.

When he rode up with Papa on the Dragonite, he witnessed with his own eyes the height and grandeur of the huge rock, and was naturally very excited.

Nemo and others on the side nodded in agreement. When they first saw the huge rock, their reactions were not much better than Xiaozhi's.

At this time, after making sure that all the people and Pokémon had come up, Luo Mu took out the Poké Ball, took back Dragonite, and said, "Let's go, before it closes at 5pm, you guys go challenge the gym, and I'll go walk around the town and buy some things."

Lip, the owner of the Beigu Gym, is the president of a cosmetics company and also works as a model. Her popularity is basically on par with models of the same level as Xiaojuer from the Unova region.

As for the Baking Gym, it can be said to be a side job. If it weren't for Ye Ci's strict rules, she might have gone out frequently like Melissa in the Sinnoh region, and would have been away for ten days or half a month.

Looking at the town buildings not far away, Luo Mu made the distribution in no time.

Among the three, only Nemo needs to challenge the Baguette Gym, so Papa and Pipa must accompany her to cheer and support.

As for Xiaozhi
Luo Mu felt that his interest in the gym was stronger than accompanying him shopping.

This is not.

Just when they were planning to form a team of four to go to the Hokugo Gym, Xiaozhi came clamoring to challenge the Hokugo Gym as well.

This is not a problem.

Although there is an "official recommended" challenge order for Padiya's gym tests, in reality, it is the trainer's freedom to decide which gym to challenge first.

The gym leaders of Padya will define the strength of the Pokémon that will be sent into battle based on the strength of the challenger, in order to achieve Ye Ci's requirements of "having a sense of oppression" and "being able to provide nutrients for the challenger's growth".

Even a trainer like Satoshi who has not obtained a single badge from the Padia region can challenge the Hokugo Gym, which is ranked second to last in the official recommended challenge order.

Since the four people had made up their minds, after entering the city, Luo Mu waved to them and temporarily parted ways.

He planned to visit the ceramics market in Beigu Town, look for some ceramics that he liked, and buy a batch to take home to decorate his new home and use as new tableware and tea sets.

Although Nemo and others also invited Luo Mu to watch the game, Luo Mu still refused.

In addition to the reason of looking for ceramic products, the deeper reason why he didn't want to get involved in the test of the Baking Gym was that he didn't want to do the gymnastics created by Lip, which was even more awkward than the "Dancing Youth" radio gymnastics.

The time spent selecting products still goes by quickly.

When Luo Mu came to his senses and looked at the time, he found that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

After a little thought, thinking that the challenge over there should have been over, Luo Mu, who had gained a lot, followed the guidance of his memory and walked towards the battle venue of the Beigu Gym built outdoors.

as predicted.

When he arrived at the battlefield, the townspeople of Beigu Town, who should have seen the exciting battle, were riding on motorcycles, carrying food and items they had just bought at the discount supermarket, and heading towards their homes with smiles on their faces.

There are almost no bicycles or electric vehicles in the entire Beigu Town.

These Motor Lizards have been integrated into every aspect of the lives of the townspeople and are an excellent example of the coexistence of humans and Pokémon.

When Luo Mu walked into the battlefield area, he looked around, but did not see Nemo and the others. Instead, he saw an unexpected person.

The owner of the Beigu Gym.

Lip.

At this time, Lip was holding a mobile phone, with her back to Luo Mu, looking at the sea in the distance, muttering to herself.

"Yeah. Got it. Just leave it to me."

"The slogan should be simple and easy to understand: 'Be beautiful, but also be beautiful in a natural way'. Please also place an order for the new eyeshadow colors."

"Yes, thank you for your help. I'll contact you if you have anything."

Luo Mu, who was approaching, only heard these three sentences. It was obvious that Lip was talking about work.

Standing by and waiting quietly, until Lip hung up the phone and put it down, Luo Mu asked, "What's going on?"

Lip paused as she put her phone into her bag, turned around calmly, and when she saw Luo Mu, she raised her eyebrows, "It's you."

"Are you here to check on your students? As for them, both challengers succeeded in their challenges and received the Baked Badge from me."

As if she remembered something, Lip's fingertips with exquisite manicure lightly touched her lips, and her smile was charming and confident.

"That little girl named Nimo was exceptionally good. Although I held back a bit, she still managed to defeat my main force."

"It seems that it won't be long before another talented champion-level trainer like you appears in the Padia region. President Yeci will definitely be very happy."

"Are you right? Luo Mu."

"That's natural."

Luo Mu nodded slightly, a proud look on his face.

"You are indeed the same person as me."

Lip smiled just the right smile and walked slowly towards her in ten-centimeter-high high heels.

"No matter what field we are in, whether we are gym owner, makeup artist, company, model, trainer, teacher, or farmer, we all aim to be the best. You and I are very similar in this respect."

Lip and Luo Mu's friendship is not very close.

But she could see that the other party was also someone who was pursuing "leading".

"I have a meeting next, so I'll leave now. Your three students, and another boy who came from the Kanto region, should be renting motorcycle lizards and exploring the surrounding areas of the Baking Hollow."

After saying that, Lip walked past Luo Mu, waved to him, and walked towards her assistant's car parked on the side of the road.

"Wait a mininute."

Luo Mu suddenly spoke, and Lip stopped.

She looked at Luo Mu in surprise, "That's strange, do you have anything else to ask me?"

Luo Mu nodded slightly and took out a Poké Ball.

Lip thought he wanted to fight her.

As a result, Luo Mu's next sentence made her stunned for a few seconds.

"I have a favor to ask of you."

What kind of wind is blowing today?

This thought suddenly occurred to Lip.

But she is a professional model after all, and staying calm in the face of emergencies is a basic skill. A professional model will not let her beauty be affected by any external factors.

She blinked and said, "Well, since it's your commission, no matter what the content is, I'm willing to postpone the meeting for a while and listen to you."

After saying that, Lip took out her cell phone, quickly edited a message and sent it out. Then Lip looked up at Luo Mu again, indicating that he could speak.

"Thank you."

After all, he was the one who delayed the other party, so Luo Mu thanked him and then explained his purpose and commission. After a moment.

Lip raised her eyebrows and said, "So, you want to ask me for the secret to becoming beautiful, right?"

".It's not me, it's my Pokémon."

Luo Mu retorted.

Why does what Lip said sound like I want to ask her for advice on women's clothing?

"It's almost there."

Lip waved her hand, looked at Luo Mu, and changed the subject.

"So, who is the Pokémon that needs you to come to me, a super-powerful magic makeup artist?"

"Uh, that's it."

Aiming at the portable fish tank he had prepared long ago, Luo Mu pressed the button on the Poké Ball in his hand.

Red light flashes.

A fish Pokémon then appeared in the tank.

When seeing the true appearance of the Pokémon blowing bubbles in the water, even someone as calm as Lip remained silent for a while.

After a moment, she looked at Luo Mu and said faintly, "Are you here to cause trouble?"

Because I often have to rush to attend announcements as a model, and also run a makeup company and expand sales channels.

Lip often travels to major cities around the world.

Although the Pokémon in the fish tank in front of her were almost not distributed in the Padia region, she still knew something about them.

Ugly fish.

A Pokémon known for its shabby appearance, it was first discovered in the Hoenn region.

of course.

Lip also knows a thing or two about the evolution of the Clownfish.

Milotic is known as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world, and Lip has also collaborated with it to take photos for publication in magazines.

The difference between Minnows and Clownfish is like the difference between an ugly duckling and a white swan. In the fairy tale, the ugly duckling can gradually grow into a white swan, but most Clownfish can only live in muddy water all their lives, and very few individuals can evolve into Minnows.

But this is only the case in the wild.

There are two ways for Smelly to evolve into Milotic.

The first one is the most difficult and requires the Clownfish to increase a conceptual value called "Beauty".

In a nutshell, the so-called beauty is the self-confidence of the Clownfish and the "beauty" it radiates from the inside out, which allows it to successfully transform itself and evolve into Milotic.

But this method is extremely difficult, as most chou chou fish know clearly what they look like, and they have no confidence at all.

However, the Clownfish, which has been tamed by humans, has another shortcut to evolution.

Item "Beautiful Scales".

As long as you carry this item, Smelly can evolve into Milotic, which is a completely different level of difficulty.

just
There is an absolute gap between the two ways of evolving Milotic.

Of course, whether in terms of potential or appearance, there will be no obvious difference in the evolution of Milotic no matter which method is used.

It’s just that in terms of “temperament”, the difference between the two types of Milotic is very obvious.

To give an analogy, it's like the difference between natural beauty and artificial beauty.

Perhaps part of this metaphor is not appropriate, but it is the truth. Even if the trainer does not care about it, the gap does exist.

As mentioned before, Lip knew that Luo Mu was essentially the same type of person as herself, and would pursue "first-class" and "best" as much as possible.

With Luo Mu's current financial resources, it is more than enough to buy a beautiful scale. Even so, he still came to me, which already shows his thoughts.

Thinking of this, Lip sighed. If she had known, she should have pretended not to hear it and just slipped away.

But now that I've already stopped, I've got no choice but to continue.

Lip looked carefully at the Clownfish in the fish tank, examining not only its appearance but also its eyes, its state, and its elusive temperament.

"Is it. Heterochromatic?"

Lip asked curiously.

After all, the combination of purple and silver was much more hellish than the khaki and light blue in her impression.

"Yes." Luo Mu nodded and asked expectantly, "Do you have any ideas?"

He has been considering the evolution method of the Clownfish during this period of time. After much thought, he feels that the Milotic evolved through Beauty will be more confident.

I happened to be coming to Beigu Town, so I thought of Lip and planned to ask some professionals.

Facing Luo Mu's question, Lip lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Their eyes and temperament are pretty good, unlike those ugly fish that have lived in muddy water and have long lost their nature."

In a nutshell, there is still room for improvement.

Lip blinked and said methodically, "Since we are going to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability. We need to transform our temperament, image and eyes."

"Give me a day. I need to design a complete and reliable plan."

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Luo Mu's eyes lit up. It was great that Lip was willing to help!

"Ah."

Lip nodded slightly, took out the camera, pointed it at the Ugly Fish, and asked again:

"Do you mind if I take a few pictures?"

"Please."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and gave up his seat.

Lip subconsciously found the right angle and took a few photos.

After all, it's just a template. Just capture the details and there's no need to choose a special angle.

After a few clicks, Lip stopped and looked at the photos on her phone, and suddenly became a little surprised.

She looked at the ugly fish that was staring at her silently, and raised her eyebrows, "You have a good sense of the camera, keep it up."

then.

Lip seemed to remember something and looked at Luo Mu who was interacting with the Ugly Fish again, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"You won't—"

"You want to participate in the glamour contest held by Grape Academy and the Glamour Contest Association, right?"

"Yes."

Luo Mu did not hide it from her. After all, they would definitely be working together for a while.

The main purpose of letting the Clownfish participate in competitions is to build up its confidence as much as possible so that its beauty can be increased.

At the same time, there are many cute, beautiful, and handsome Pokémon on the farm.

It must be fun to participate in a glamour contest or something!
