Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 53 Clues and the Battle Factory's Black Technology
Wherever you go, you will leave traces.

How could the Xitrikati dogs have lived on Blowfire Island for more than a thousand years without leaving any information among the local elves?
Therefore, Link was prepared to seek help from the local elves from the beginning and ask them to help him find the legendary Growlithe.

however……

As the sun sets, the giant crab silently blows bubbles, ignoring the inquiries of humans.

"Fu~"

They seem indifferent to the outside world, and don't seem to care even if someone hits them on the head with a twig.

Tourists often frequent the outskirts of the battle zone, feeding these less dangerous elves. Perhaps they have become accustomed to it.

But Link did not give up and took out the Star Peach Poké Cube he had made earlier from his backpack.

As the aroma spread, the giant crabs that were originally watching the sunset on the beach suddenly gathered around.

"So you guys are also paying extra money?"

He was speechless, feeding the crabs one by one on the beach, and asking them again: "Excuse me..."

However, before he could finish his words, the smallest crab among them stretched out its claws towards him and nudged its empty left hand.

"shake hands?"

Link reached out his hand uncertainly and gently grasped the giant crab's claws.

The next moment, the crab retreated, and its claws detached from its body and remained in his hand.

"..."

"Aim?"

"!?"

Humans and elves had never seen such a scene before.

Link receives an unexpected gift.

He looked speechlessly at the claws in his hand, which were about half a meter long and one decimeter thick. He didn't know how to complain about this overly primitive physiological mechanism, nor did he know how the giant crab evolved this ability.

"Okay, okay. I'll take it. You can use this to make up for it."

He stuffed a few more energy cubes into the short big-clawed crab, and even forgot to ask about the news of the Xichukati dog. He just left the crab group with his crab claws.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed difficult for a Pokémon like Growlithe who lives on the coastline to see Growlithe.

At least a fire-attribute Pokémon that lives near the Harsh Mountains or a bird-attribute Pokémon that can fly would be more reliable.

So they put away their claws and headed north along the road to the park in the combat zone.

From time to time, you can see Spearow, Hairbird and the Gentleman Moth family flying around here, which makes people look forward to the social circle and intelligence network of bird-type Pokémon.

Link took out the energy cube and repeated the same trick, relying on the simulator's translation function that allowed him to understand the emotions contained in the elves' calls and started chatting with the elves around the park.

This time the harvest was even richer than he expected!
After receiving a substantial tip (energy cubes), a wild hair-haired bird revealed to him its past experience flying over Blowfire Island while patrolling its territory.

It had indeed seen Cathars with pointed hair and long bangs. Once it saw a group of them on the west side of Mount Harshness, and another time it saw people taking care of them in a scenic area.

In the villa southwest of the scenic area, there are humans with equally sharp hairstyles who raise many of these Cathars, and even larger Windspeed dogs.

However, since they were not very interested in these two elves, they only remembered their general appearance based on their hairstyle and did not know any more detailed information.

"Thank you, M'K-Eagle, this helped me a lot."

Although I don't know why Muke Eagle cares so much about "hairstyle", but after this step, the next thing is easy. The purpose is very clear!

Head to the scenic area or the west side of the harsh mountain!
"By the way, is the human with the sharp hairstyle a descendant of Gangshi? Shali... maybe she hasn't been born yet."

"Fu?"

Firefox didn't understand.

"It's nothing. Don't think too much about it. Just think of it as traveling."

Link shook his head and stopped thinking about Bei Shang and the others, focusing on Growlithe.

Unfortunately, the scenic area is a resort "for those who need it", and all who come and go are well-known figures in academia, famous figures in battles, and top coordination trainers.

If he wanted to enter with good reason and propose to exchange information about the Zetrikati with confidence, he would probably need to prove that he was an excellent trainer.

To do this, you need enough reputation, and the best choice is a battle factory that can be challenged only by renting elves.

After going around in circles, I ended up back at the battle frontier area.

When Link came back, it was already late and the Battle Factory was no longer open to the public, so he had to stay in the Pokémon Center for one night.

Another night passed, and the next morning, he finished washing, preparing breakfast and exercising early, and submitted his registration application before the battle facilities were opened to the public.

Perhaps because there weren't many people, the staff quickly entered Link's information.

"Okay, Mr. Kobayashi, your application has been accepted. Do you need to store your Pokémon?"

Hearing this, Link shook his head, "No need, I only have three with me, and the number of Poké Balls won't exceed the limit during the process."

The staff nodded and began to seriously announce the rules of the battle factory:
"Then please confirm the rules set by the factory boss, Mr. Ushiki.

"The challenger of the battle factory must select 6 elves from 3 random elves for the rental battle. The order of the starting elves cannot be changed during the battle. Each round contains 7 games. At the end of each round, you will get to choose 1 elf from all the opponent lineups in this round to exchange with the existing elves.

"After each battle, the spirit's physical strength and status will be refreshed..."

As he listened, Link suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, what does 'refresh' mean?"

The staff member explained: "That's right. All the elves in the battle factory are simulated by technology. Because of this, we can ensure that the level, individuality, and training degree of each elf are all adjusted to the same level."

If it is true that hundreds or even thousands of Pokémon with similar strengths are trained in the Battle Frontier, what a huge project that would be, and who can ensure that the Pokémon data detected by the instruments is absolutely accurate?
Therefore, computer simulation is the only option.

Link quickly sorted out his thoughts. Indeed, reality is not a game. How could it be possible to train so many standard level 50 elves?

He had chatted with A Liu for a long time before according to the stereotypes in the game, and it turned out that they were not on the same channel at all.

However, the black technology of this world is still so unexpected. In the future, in the Sun and Moon period, humans will even be able to use technology to simulate special weather such as delta airflow.

"I see. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"That's basically it. In order to avoid loopholes and increase calculation speed, each Pokémon simulated in the Battle Factory currently has only four moves. The characteristic data is also fixed. During the battle, each round will attack in the order recorded in the data."

"..."

"Huh?" Link was stunned for a moment.

Turn-based?
4 skills! ?

If you talk about this, I won’t be sleepy anymore!
