Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 65: The characteristic is that the fur is very thick, but it does not mean that you have a "fur coat"

Speaking of common special attack Pokémon with fire attributes, how can we forget Houndoom, who has always been in opposition to Arcanine?
If you are lucky enough to find its evolution stone, the benefits brought by "Power of the Sun" will be among the best among all fire-type Pokémon!
After confirming the sixth member of the team, Link finally had an idea in his mind.

Seeing that noon had passed, he and the elves once again moved along the river bank and arrived at the confluence beach before sunset.

This is the confluence of two rivers flowing down from Guishan Mountain. The crisscrossing waterways, splashing waterfalls, and a rainbow that is almost half a circle under the sunlight are truly a stunning sight.

However, Link was still far away from the waterfall. He noticed that a complex and fast-flowing river blocked his way, and it would be difficult to reach the waterfall without an agile elf like Gulton or one that could surf.

"It seems that this is all we can do this time. We will visit again next time."

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

As soon as he heard the word "eating", Snorlax immediately became energetic.

"Where did you store all your energy? Help me collect some firewood. Just think of it as exercise before dinner."

Little Kirby nodded repeatedly and ran away like the wind.

And as it left, the Fire Fox, looking at the other's back, made a confused sound.

Just when the trainer was curious about where Kirby's energy went, Fire Fox directly opened the "Eye of Miracle" and tried to observe the flow of the opponent's energy.

So it discovered something quite strange - the food that Snorlax ate was not completely stored in its body, but a small part of it was dissipated.

"What? Doesn't that mean they are full and hungry at the same time?" Link found it hard to accept and was puzzled by the results of the "Eye of Miracles". "I always thought that the little Snorlax ate so much to accumulate energy for them to evolve into Snorlax."

"Meow~"

The flaming cat nodded. If the feeling would dissipate no matter how much it ate, it would be better to feed it with large amounts of filling and delicious food. At least this way the pleasure of eating could last longer.

"Fu!"

The Fire Fox shook his head repeatedly and continued to explain.

It turned out that from the perspective of energy, it saw that the energy of Snorlax was dissipated and merged into the land, making the vitality of the surrounding soil, vegetation and trees more vigorous.

Growlithe obviously couldn't understand. Snorlax is not a ground or grass-attribute Pokémon, so how could it boost the vitality of the earth?

“The ecological cycle?”

Link did have an idea: "The fruit eaten by the elves will be taken to distant places and excreted to take root and sprout. The horseflies will also help the plants pollinate when collecting nectar. Nature and life will cooperate with each other to continue."

And Pokémon like Snorlax have, to a certain extent, become part of the ecosystem.

They are able to master moves such as "Nature's Grace", "Recycling", and "Gathering Treasures", and have certain potential in the use of natural energy.

It’s not so much about being good at harnessing natural energy…it’s more about being part of the ecosystem’s resilience.

Especially the "recycling" move, which can even restore the consumed berries to their original state.

The Gigantamax of Snorlax further demonstrates this point - it is an ecosystem in itself!

"Perhaps the true talents of Snorlax and Snorlax lie in farming. The greedy Snorlax and the mature fruit-eating worm are a perfect match."

It’s a pity that Link isn’t very interested in the farm, the ranch is just okay.

Not long after, Snorlax came back with some wood, and Link had almost finished processing the ingredients. You can't expect too much in the wild, so today's dinner is still curry rice.

Link ate and chatted with the Pokémon. After telling Growlithe and Snorlax about the Pokémon dream world, he began to arrange training plans for the two new Pokémon.

"Catti, if I'm not mistaken, your characteristic should be "hard head" right?"

"Wang?"

Caterpillar tilted its head in confusion, what are characteristics?
Link slapped his head and realized that in this era, the concept of Pokémon's "characteristics" was still imperfect. Apart from those that were most familiar to the public or bred in batches by the Alliance, trainers did not know much about the characteristics of Pokémon.

"What are characteristics... If I think about it carefully, the so-called characteristics seem to be just people's summary of the characteristics of the same kind of elves."

Many of the so-called characteristics, such as "stink", "solid", "floating", "glowing", "glutton", "positive/negative electricity", and "light/heavy metal", are actually just made up.

It's as if those seemingly outrageous descriptions in the illustrated book were actually made up by some people who were at a loss for words and so just started making up stories.

Link was surprised to find that he noticed a blind spot that was only applicable to time travelers. In reality, characteristics are far from being as absolute as they are in games.

Just like the North-facing nose in their previous battle against Dujuan, in addition to the "strong", "magnetic" and "sand power" characteristics, couldn't it be given an exclusive "north-guiding" characteristic?

I see... No wonder Xiaosong suggested letting Mashana train his "mental power" before.

"Oh, I'm so ashamed."

He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I just realized that I don't seem to know you as well as I thought. Why don't you take this opportunity to introduce your preferences, characteristics, abilities and skills?"

"Fu!"

Fire Fox was the first to express his preference - trainer!

"I'm very touched. What about others besides me?"

The fire fox thought about it and thought that it was probably some fun and beautiful things and small branches with the scent of fruit wood.

Hearing this, Little Kirby immediately took out the firewood he had picked up and wanted to give it to the Fire Fox, but the latter obviously could neither eat it nor stuff it into its tail.

"This firewood has gone beyond the category of 'small' branches."

Other than that, the characteristics of the Fire Fox are pretty much the same as what Link knows.

His extraordinary insight and precision made him always suspect that the characteristic of his little fox was actually "magician" rather than "fierce fire".

Next, the outgoing Growlithe stood up. It was brave and optimistic, looking forward to the powerful Earth Dragon it would see that day, and thinking that it would be able to surpass the other one day.

As for the so-called "characteristics", do its sensitive nose, thick fur, hard head and long life count as characteristics?

"As far as I know, the four known characteristics of Caterpie are "Intimidation", "Igniting", "Justice" and "Hard Head". Let's test them one by one."

After testing, Link finally confirmed with regret that this Caterpie, which had evolved thicker hair due to the harsh and cold environment of Xicui, did not have the "fur coat" characteristic.

Of course!
After spending some time testing, he discovered the characteristics of the Caterpie.

It is the "hard head" that has great resistance to reactionary moves!
