Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 157: Struggle Stone and a salute to the new champion... Wait, a salute to the new champion!
Mewtwo's counterattack has been resolved, temporarily.

Link thought that it would probably turn black and get beaten again in the Oure area, and then return to the Cerulean Cave to be beaten up by Red.

What a pitiful situation for this divine beast. It is either being defeated or on the way to being defeated.

Compared to Link's sunny and endless tactics and armaments that were not used up until the end, it seemed more like a loss to itself.

If it weren't for the use of powers that even Mewtwo itself couldn't control (Mewtwo Balls), Link would probably have to use all his tricks to beat it out of control.

Link, who nominally won, did not get carried away. He was confident and keen on fighting, and sooner or later he would cultivate his own Pokémon to the same level as it, and fight against it and Red who were going all out...

……

One day later, the Sprout Ranch.

After finishing the thesis and the event, he brought the elves back to the pasture and began the final repairs so that they could be in the best condition to face the subsequent sea and land battle.

That morning, while studying and training, he learned a piece of very important news - the rookie trainer Green, who had been traveling for only 80 days, successfully defeated the Four Heavenly Kings in a row and won the championship!
This breaking news is so terrifying that it is indescribable for a trainer!

Link, who works hard every day, has the deepest understanding of this. It has been two months since he set out, but the energy levels of all the elves except the Fire Fox have been fluctuating between 30 and 45.

Star peach fruits, secret seasonings, mastery seeds and other props were used all the time, but the gap between Qinglu and him was visibly widening!

Who is the one who is cheating?!
Simulator, please give me some strength, simulator!
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Link's fighting power has indeed increased. If he fights against Green himself (without the elf), he can at least defeat a hundred Greens with telekinesis and the Force.

But he is a trainer after all...

"No, we have to integrate the intelligence we have collected by noon today and push the progress to the next stage in one go."

Even though the championship only lasted half an hour, Link was extremely envious.

Out of sight, out of mind, he simply turned off the TV and went to the ranch to breathe fresh air and listen to the "baa~" sounds.

After half a month of renovation, the ranch no longer looks like the sea of flowers it was when it was first taken over. Other crops include forage grass, royal leaves, and vitality buds.

In addition to the initial budding deer herd and a few horseflies, a pair of Meely sheep and a pair of big milk cans introduced from other ranches have also arrived.

With the addition of the Chikorita Leaves and Bulbasaur brought back from the research institute, the ranch has taken shape, and it is thriving under Link's loss-making management.

"Oh, I really can't figure it out."

The growth rate of the three giants is so fast that it is incomprehensible. On the contrary, Xiaoyou and Xiaoyao are almost being caught up by him.

Although his absolute strength is still slightly inferior, he is now confident that he can defeat them in a battle.

All this is thanks to the efforts of the elves.

It was still early for breakfast, so he came to the battle field specially built for elf training at the ranch and placed the struggle stone, the reward he got for defeating Miss Quner, the Queen of the Mountain Road, last night.

This is a rock that is incredibly hard and contains strange energy. When the elves use it, they can absorb the energy in it to grow, and they can train their "struggle level" until the rock is completely consumed.

In short, it is a tool that can embody "individual efforts". Depending on how it is used (weight bearing, attacking, dodging, etc.), the ability to exercise will also vary.

Link had just moved it from the house to the battlefield, but he already felt his physical strength increase slightly.

In the Legend of Alpaca, it can increase the elf's struggle value to level 9 at most, and it is a very precious item.

So Link now faces a difficult choice - who should he give it to and which aspect should he train?

Fire Fox looked at the panting trainer and found that he seemed to have consumed far more energy than normal. Is it really so tiring to move a broken stone?
"Fu~"

In any case, Firefox warned trainers not to use this thing on itself, but to use it on Pokémon that could quickly increase their combat power in order to improve efficiency in future Dream Sky battles.

"That's a good idea. It would be better to prioritize improving the physical fitness of the Water Wave Dolphin. The Dolphin Man's combat power is very suitable for this kind of battle."

Especially the next opponent is the island king, Windy Dog, with 4 times weak water!
So Link gave the Struggle Stone to the Water Wave Dolphin that lived in the Dancing Swan Lake, in the hope that the elves' strength development would enter a positive cycle.

The recent battles in the Mengtian Battle have been going more smoothly than before, and the Mastery Seed has played a significant role in this regard.

After more than half a month of study, the elves have mastered 3 moves.

Fire Fox has mastered "magic", "sealing" and "praying", and his skills in making props have become more and more sophisticated, going further and further on the road of assistance.

Aquamarine has mastered "Jet Punch", "Bodybuilding" and "Close Combat". Its strength in close combat in the all-round transformation state has far surpassed that of Arcanine after its previous sprint acceleration.

Torrential Cat has mastered "Roar", "Throwing Harsh Words" and "High Five Surprise Attack". As his physique improves, he can now perform feints to paralyze his opponents while attacking.

Arcanine has mastered "High-Speed Movement", "Super Speed" and "Self-Sacrificing Charge". Even Dolphin Man and the Dark-Tailed Fish that has triggered "Easy Swimming" are inferior to him in speed.

Snorlax has mastered "charging", "swallowing" and "recycling", and has mastered the technique of transferring his own dissipated energy to the earth to make it more fertile. Unexpectedly, he became a supporter of the ranch before Chikorita and Bulbasaur.

The Ghost-Tailed Black Fish has mastered "Stealth Attack", "Resentment" and "Standard". Not only can it enter and exit the shadows, but it can also create a "Standard" to be controlled by the soul fire of its own kind to assist in battle.

As for Porygon... it can't use the Mastery Seed, but its level has reached 40 in the Digital World, making it the fastest growing Pokémon in the team.

Thanks to the increasing number of mastered moves, Link's elves have more time to practice their key moves.

In addition, Link regularly exchanges Star Peach Fruit and seasonings for gummies from another world, and the elves' "awakening level (go power)" is also steadily improving.

With the assistance of him and Firefox, a pair of first-class logistical personnel, the Mengtianlianzhan Assault Team also has members who are proficient in seeds and have exclusive support. Their strength is no longer what it used to be. In the future, the speed and efficiency of challenging desperate battles will only get higher and higher.

Before he knew it, he had started a snowball trend.

Before the simulator, a "late-stage" plug-in, started to work, the Pokémon Dream World became more and more helpful to Link... Sometimes I really can't figure out which one is his plug-in.

After taking care of the ranch with Foxfire, he returned to the cabin to continue watching the news and learned another piece of breaking news -

After sitting on the championship throne for half an hour, the champion Green was defeated by the rookie trainer Ye who started on the same day!
