Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Charizard was his starter Pokémon, which evolved after Su's father was promoted from Normal to Elite level during his freshman year of college.

Su's father was adopted by an orphanage when he was a child, but he was lucky enough to be selected as a little dragon in his senior year of high school. However, he did not have enough resources to raise him, so his progress was very slow before college.

Looking at the entire Shenzhou League, there are actually very few people who can train their Pokémon to the elite level during high school.

This is why Su's father said that my son has the potential to be an emperor.

Before his sophomore year, even with Charizard, a starter Pokémon with great potential, Su's father couldn't compare to those from elite families and geniuses.

Until one day, Su's father met an old man.

The old man was the former Fire-type King of the Divine Continent Alliance. Seeing that the Charizard that Su's father had cultivated despite limited resources had such a solid foundation, he decided to take him on as a disciple.

After being accepted as an apprentice, with the support of his teacher and resources, Su's father, like a poem, transformed into a dragon when the wind and clouds came his way.

He rose through the ranks and eventually became one of the top-ranked Fire-type Gym Leaders among the eighteen elemental gym leaders.

After reaching Elite level, Su's father's Charizard received guidance from his master and shifted from all-around development to specialization in moves and energy.

Aside from Su Hao's three Pokémon blessed by the system, there are bottlenecks in the improvement of Pokémon's strength in this world.

Each breakthrough in a bottleneck will filter out a large number of Pokémon.

Because once an elite Pokémon breaks through to the professional level, its overall stats are greatly improved.

Even if you are a Speaker Cricket, once you break through from Elite to Pro level, you can still crush Elite-level Dragon-type Pokémon with sheer strength.

The huge positive factors correspond to the extremely high difficulty of achieving breakthroughs.

Some scholars have compared the difficulty of breaking through from elite level to professional level to professional level, which is even more difficult than breaking through from professional level to dojo level.

The reason is that not every Pokémon can achieve a complete sublimation of its overall life level.

Until a genius breeder perfected the breakthrough method of "specialization".

Specialization, simply put, is about using the different strengths of different Pokémon to break through to the professional level.

For example, Su's father's Charizard specifically trained the intensity of its internal fire-type energy when it was at the elite level, so that only its own [fire-type energy] broke through to the professional level, and its physical attributes increased slightly.

Pokémon that specialize in a particular skill to reach the professional level are much weaker than the very few that truly achieve the professional level through all-around abilities.

But what's the point of such a flawed breakthrough?

When Su Hao asked his father this question, his father replied:

While Pokémon that specializes to the professional level may not be as good as a very small number of Pokémon at this stage, this shortcoming can be made up for.

As long as you are willing to expend certain resources at the professional level, other shortcomings can be made up for after breaking through to the gym level.

Su Hao is quite confident that he can break through to the professional level with Small Diamond and Milotic without relying on specialized skills.

The only problem was the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Although Incineroar is currently trying to train his emotional energy to make his fire attacks more powerful, the improvement to his overall physical attributes is still negligible.

Since Su's father's team did not have a Blazing Roaring Tiger, Su Hao could not obtain from his father the method to improve the Blazing Roaring Tiger's physical attributes.

As a transmigrator, Su Hao still has a small goal: to reach the professional level with all his Pokémon without relying on specialization techniques.

Chapter 76 Raising Pokémon is so expensive!

Su Hao rented a private training room at the club for a few hours to let them out and check their progress so he could summarize his findings.

Pokémon: [Small Diamond] [Mutant 60%]

Attributes: [Rock, Fairy]

Gender: [♀]

Characteristic: [Eternally Pure Body]

Level: [36]

Item: [Tianshi Super Stone]

Techniques: [Omitted]

Since advancing to the Elite level, the level increase of Little Diamond has slowed down a lot, and the situation of reaching the Elite level in just one and a half months has disappeared.

The surface level of Little Diamond has now reached the mid-elite level. Although her level increase has slowed down considerably, her mutation process has not stopped.

The pink diamonds were completely consumed long before the small diamonds reached 50% mutation progress.

Pink diamonds are available for purchase in the system's store, but they are too expensive, so Su Hao decided to save up his money first.

Based on the current progress, the mutation progress bar for small diamonds should reach its end in about two months. I should save up money to buy keystones first.

------------

Pokémon: Milotic

Attribute: [Water]

Gender: [♀]

Trait: [Charming Appearance]

Level: [31]

Prop: [Mysterious Water Drop]

Techniques: [Clean Light, Misty Ball...]

System comment: My good friend gave it to me with the red and blue airplane, what business is it of yours whether it's legal or not?

Milotic evolved through a ritual performed by Latios and Latias using a Drop of Heart, in conjunction with most of the Pokémon living in the Infinite Realm.

It was also due to the influence of this miraculous ritual that Milotic not only had an excellent affinity for water-type energy, but she could also command dragon-type and psychic-type energy with ease.

Milotic also learned the two red and blue planes' signature moves, Cleanse and Mist.

Whether it's Little Diamond's mythical beast form or Milotic's potential to surpass pseudo-gods thanks to its older siblings, Su Hao can believe that they can break through to the professional level without any pressure by relying on their own physical qualities.

------------

Pokémon: [Incineroar (wearing a blue scarf)]

Attribute: [Fire + Dark]

Gender: [♂]

Characteristic: [Intimidate]

Props: [Charcoal]

Level: [35]

Techniques: [Omitted]

To be honest, Incineroar, which seems honest and simple, is actually the most cunning. After all, Dark-type Pokémon always have a little bit of scheming.

Su Hao was aware of the ulterior motives that the Blazing Roaring Tiger had always harbored.

He understood that Blazing Roar Tiger had always wanted to surpass Little Diamond and become the leader of the team.

With the continued infighting from the Blazing Roaring Tiger, his level is indeed close to surpassing that of the Little Diamond.

However, combat strength is not solely determined by rank.

How did Little Diamond manage to leapfrog an entire class at the very beginning of its elite level and defeat Jie Wei's Emperor Naboo, which had broken through to the professional level?

It relies on Diamond's physical attributes, total energy, and precision of control, which are unmatched by ordinary Pokémon.

If a small diamond is the total energy and diameter of a bathtub, then a Milotic is the total energy and diameter of a large washbasin.

Compared to the two mythical beasts and the second generation of gods mentioned above, only the Blazing Roaring Tiger, relying on itself, exerts a force as large as a water jug.

Tiger is no match for Diamond Smash right now, and it can't beat Milotic because of type compatibility issues. Plus, the buffs from Latios and Latias make Milotic immune to status conditions and Fake Out. How can it possibly win?

Furthermore, recently another pseudo-legendary, Draco Messia, who is suspected to be Giratina's illegitimate son, has joined the team.

Su Hao was afraid that if Blazing Roar Tiger lost to Little Diamond and Milotic, then who could he lose to?

When will the Blazing Roaring Tiger's dream come true...?

As long as Little Diamond and Milotic continue to grow step by step, they can easily break through to the Pro level.

Su Hao did not want Incineroar to break through to the professional level by using the method of igniting flames with specialized emotional energy, after all, this would cause Incineroar to fall far behind Milotic and Diamond Smash, which was something he did not want to see.

No matter what, Tiger is a Pokémon similar to a tiger, a proud and arrogant king of the forest, and he is by no means inferior to anyone else when it comes to intense competition.

"Yes, the overall output peak of Little Diamond is almost at the mid-stage of the professional level."

The club's private training room is quite impressive; the shields used to withstand attacks are made from iron filings scraped off by high-grade Steelix over the years, making them extremely sturdy.

Even though the small diamond's output power had reached the professional level, it only blasted a small dent into its surface.

Su Hao turned his gaze to the two partitions on the other side.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger deals more damage and can leave some scratches on the shield, which is roughly enough to reach the output strength of the late-game elite level.

Su Hao could have predicted that Milotic's damage output wouldn't be as high as Incineroar's.

After all, she is a relatively tanky Pokémon, and her offensive capabilities are already sufficient to reach the mid-elite level.

This output, combined with her powerful immunity to status ailments and self-healing ability, is enough to defeat late-game elite Pokémon.

In doubles matches, Milotic can also act as a healer to support his teammates.

However, if you're facing a professional-level Pokémon, it becomes a situation where the opponent can't damage Milotic, and Milotic can't damage the opponent either.

At least the Blazing Roaring Tiger can unleash its full power and put up a fight.

Currently, most of the special techniques for enhancing combat power that Su Hao can access are used by his father's fire-type specialized team, and are not suitable for him.

Only Su's father's Charizard used emotional energy as fuel to enhance the flames on its tail and their power, a technique he copied.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger has become able to gather some emotional energy within its body to fuel the fire pouch at its waist.
