Chapter 491 How to Find Randomly Refreshing Top Players

The Poké Ball took Heatran into its container, shook it twice, and then obediently let Cynthia hold it in her hand.

The ancient Heatran witnessed the fascinating aspects of human technology for the first time, and upon emerging, he couldn't help but ask if there were any other Cynthia plants.

Cynthia asked in confusion, "Others? You mean the types of Poké Balls?"

Heatran nodded: "[It's quite interesting to live in Poké Balls from this era. It feels much more advanced than the technology from one or two thousand years ago.]"

What I mean is, could you please provide me with more different Poké Balls in the future? I'd like to try moving into a different one every now and then.

Bamboo orchid:

She'd seen plenty of Pokémon with all sorts of personalities, but she'd never encountered a request like Heatran's before.

Pokémon all have their own personalities and preferences, but this is the first time I've encountered one like Heatran, which "likes to experience different living environments".

Cynthia smiled and said, "No problem, that's a very interesting suggestion. However, there are some types of Poké Balls that are like Dive Balls, so you probably won't be used to living in one."

Xiduolan was so happy that his mouth dropped open.

It's okay, it's okay. Sometimes I go for a shower in the sea, so it's good that you've prepared something for me.

Cynthia reached out and patted Heatran's head, feeling as if she had witnessed yet another instance of the diversity of Pokémon personalities.

But since she has already caught Heatran after the battle, she will definitely grant this small request, and collecting a set of Poké Balls won't cost much.

That's just how these old-fashioned people are; they like to get involved in everything new and interesting.

Mewtwo wiped his hands: [Garuda's injuries have been healed; they're mostly superficial wounds. A couple of days of applying medicine will do the trick.]

Cynthia seemed to be thinking, "Looks like I'm really lucky today. I didn't even trigger Burn once when facing a Pokémon like Heatran."

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Lan was still by his side, the God of Volcano would have almost jumped up.

[What do you mean "can't trigger"? How am I supposed to trigger it when my brother is right next to me? Don't even mention me, we've all been burning his head and haven't triggered a single burn!]

Zhu Lan seemed to be deep in thought, then leaned closer to Xi Duolanen and whispered something to him. The latter's gaze toward Zhu Suihan also gradually underwent a subtle change.

Big Black: "Aku."

I bet Lava that Cynthia Champion is definitely using some interesting conditions to tempt Heatran, hoping to extract some juicy information about trainers from him.

For example, if a bombshell revelation from ancient times is revealed, there will be an extra reward; the more revelations, the more rewards, and there is no upper limit.

Delta and Epsilon shook their heads decisively.

Betting on other things is fine, but betting on a mouthful of lava is out of the question. It seems like no one in the family besides my dad can take on this bet.

Ergui Peng held the mask thoughtfully, examining it carefully. Xiduolanen's words had given her some inspiration.

"Bonito?"

Monkey, do you think it would be better if my characteristics changed when I used the mask?

"Theoretically speaking, it's not feasible."

Zhu Suihan said, "In essence, traits are no different from genes. If unconventional changes are made to traits, then that is forbidden research."

If parents are tall, their children may not be very tall, and vice versa.

If ability capsules and ability ointments can be considered as a form of "medical treatment," then Pokémon's ability to temporarily modify the opponent's ability during battle can be considered a means of combat.

Therefore, trying to give Pokémon characteristics other than those of their species through scientific experiments is taboo. Just by looking at the title of the project, you can tell that this is a study that disrespects life.

In the past, there were some third-party Pokémon games where fans came up with their own combinations of attributes and abilities.

For example, you could combine the speed of a Powerpuff Pokémon with the dual defenses of a Shuttle, basically just throwing everything together and adding some nasty type, essentially turning these modified Pokémon into online game bosses to fight.

The most interesting part for them is the design and the process of overcoming challenges, rather than the instant kill of the entire field by simply activating Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

However, in reality, doing so would be considered a completely heretical path.

Just like what the Crimson Eevee experienced in the original timeline, the option of evolution could originally be resisted, or rather, locked in a state with an Everstone, but theoretically it was irreversible.

However, the Crimson Eevee did just that. As long as it had the power of the Evolution Stone as a guide, it could switch at will. In the end, it chose to evolve into Espeon in order to prevent Eevee from suffering such pain.

Zhu Suihan patted the little rice ball's head.

"Although it is painful to study and learn knowledge, it is a normal process, or a price to pay for becoming stronger."

"But I can't bring myself to torture your body and mind with forbidden methods just to become stronger."

To give a very simple example, there's Mewtwo.

The Zhu Suihan family all know that Mewtwo's primary source of power is the Mew Gene.

However, no one in the family ever mentioned having Mewtwo try gene enhancement editing, or having more Mew-like powers through "bloodline atavism".

Because this process is destined to be painful and unnecessary.

Even if Zhu Suihan were just someone without special abilities, whose strength was only at the standard level for humans in the Pokémon world, he would not conduct such research, much less allow his partner to suffer such pain.

Ergui Peng hugged Zhu Suihan's leg and rubbed against it gently.

"Bonnie, Bonnie~"

Hey bro, come visit me in Sinnoh sometime!

As Xiduolan chewed on the rare alloy block that Zhulan had prepared for him, he suddenly felt that it was wonderful to have found a rich woman.

You can't find such nutritious metals in the harsh mountains, and you can eat your fill!

Big Black licked his lips. From today onwards, he was also a gluttonous king who had tasted what lava was like!

Zhu Suihan and Xiduolan waved to each other, and Alcremie jumped onto Big Black and patted him, asking what lava tasted like.

"Aku ah."

It's like a hot chocolate drink with lots of chopped nuts and tree fruit pieces.

The big black creature's two tentacled fangs danced with delight, feeling that although the magma it swallowed wasn't very nutritious, it was certainly fresh and exciting.

As long as there's that initial novelty, the taste of lava can be elevated to the level of deliciousness.

Zhu Lan straightened her sleeves: "Are you going to get involved in the Hoenn battle expansion area too? It's a pity I'm still busy, otherwise I could have helped you out at the opening ceremony."

Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "As the champion, how can you attend the opening ceremony of a match in a place like the Pioneer Zone in a private capacity?"

Zhu Lan said nonchalantly, "It's just about supporting a friend. Besides, the Sinnoh League doesn't have any particularly strict regulations in this regard, so there's no need for them."

"We are ourselves first, then we are champions, and the same goes for all the staff in the league, from top to bottom."

"If you come to the Sinnoh region again sometime, I'll recommend a few taverns to you. Some old men and women from the League will spawn there from time to time."

"As for Dr. Yamanashi, honestly, everyone in the research institute is more interested in the little desserts hidden in his drawer. There's always something different every time we look at them."

Zhu Suihan asked curiously, "Where will you randomly refresh?"

Zhu Lan fell into deep thought: "An ice cream shop, a villa in Lianyi Town, and ancient ruins?"

Garchomp keeps its eyes down, its main strategy being to ignore everything, since it's unlikely to undermine its trainer at a time like this.

Zhu Suihan's lips twitched: "Fine, fine, not one of the three options involves working at the Sinnoh League, is that it? You're something else."

Cynthia retorted decisively: "As a Nurse Joy who doesn't usually stay at the Pokémon Center, where would you be?"

"Hmm, if I'm not at home and my phone can't reach me, maybe I'd have already left this world and just run away?"

Bamboo Orchid: ?

Then I concede defeat; you're the real heavyweight!

The construction of the battlefront was very rapid, after all, Ashida, as the behind-the-scenes boss, had a lot of money.

As construction progressed, Ashida's men were also simultaneously launching some GG promotional campaigns.

In addition to the already known Frontier Brain, the Battle Frontier Zone has added a brand new "Game Brain" at its edge.

The person chosen to serve as the brains of the game is the infamous White-Haired Demon, who is well-known among a specific group.

"Construction is guaranteed to be completed before the opening ceremony. As for whether you want to go on stage at the opening ceremony or not, that's up to you."

Ashida sat comfortably in the boss's chair and talked to Zhu Suihan on the phone.

"Anyway, in our design, your game brain doesn't have to be in the battle frontier area anymore. I just need to send someone to issue frontier certificates."

Ashida flipped through the list, her face beaming with joy, and she even wanted to pat her belly in celebration.

"Thanks to you, quite a few promising young trainers have come to the Battle Frontier this time, even Professor Oak's two grandsons have come."

"Do you need me to give you a raise, Suihan?"

"No need, just have your staff check a few more pieces of equipment."

Zhu Suihan said, "Based on the visitor flow in the battle zone, if the building strength is insufficient, problems are likely to occur. I don't need to remind you of this, do I?"

Ashida nodded: "Don't worry, even if a trainer's partner accidentally damages the facilities, the repair team is on standby at any time."

"By the way, Grandpa Yu Kang, it seems that the pioneering brain of the Battle Palace wants to meet with you."

Zhu Suihan shook his head: "Tell him to go find Daigo and Mikori. They should have something in common to talk about. It's no use asking me."

Yu Kang is the human who once came into contact with the orb. In the anime's timeline, his specialty is herbs, which can restore the Lizard King, who has been unable to use his ultimate move.

Zhu Suihan hung up the phone, saying that such matters should be discussed by Daigo and Mikoli, the true inheritors.

If he had that much time to chat with Yu Kang, he might as well stay in Sinnoh and go explore the ruins with Cynthia for some fun.
