Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

What he was referring to was, of course, a change in strength.

"Is that alright?"

Pokki tilted his head and pondered for a moment.

His eyes immediately lit up.

"Chocolate!"

It slowly raised its hand, and as specks of emerald green fluorescence appeared, thin leaves surrounded its body, seemingly containing some special fluctuations.

Furthermore, with Pokkigu's little hand waving, these leaves flew towards the nearby bushes.

boom!

A powerful roar and a crater blasted into the ground.

“Magic Leaf,” Xia Yan uttered the name of the move, while some basic information about it flashed through his mind.

It doesn't have any strong additional effects, nor does it have any additional effects that match Togekiss's Ancient Envelope ability.

However, as a Grass-type move, it is crucial for Xia Yan's current team.

Because Xia Yan only has three Pokémon—Beedrill, Abra, and Togekiss—he faces the challenge of insufficient coverage.

For example, when facing a pure Water-type Pokémon, there is no suitable move to counter it and deal effective damage.

But things are different now. While Togekiss's "Magic Leaf" move can't fundamentally solve this problem, it undeniably makes up for this weakness to a great extent.

And keep in mind that we're at sea now, surrounded by Water-type Pokémon, which makes this move even more important.

During Togepi's time, Xia Yan intentionally prevented it from learning more moves, and the training was limited to the moves it already knew, increasing its proficiency.

The advantage of this is that Togepi is less likely to bite off more than he can chew.

The downside is that as Togepi trains and masters these moves, he gradually reaches a bottleneck in the use and improvement of them.

The rate at which our strength has improved has slowed down considerably.

However, Togepi has now evolved into Togepi and learned "Magic Leaf," which gives it a new direction for training.

and......

"Such destructive power, using a move that he just learned and is not yet proficient in, has Togekiku's strength reached... Senior level?" Xia Yan murmured.

Because Togekiss is a relatively rare Pokémon, there are relatively few books on how to raise it or how to assess its strength.

When Xia Yan first saw Togekigu, he couldn't tell what level its strength had reached or whether it had improved.

But now.

Having witnessed the destructive power of its actual combat moves, Xia Yan was certain that Togeki had reached the Senior level!

Besides Beedrill, another of his Pokémon has finally reached the veteran level!

This is absolutely significant for Xia Yan's overall strength improvement, and when combined with his combination tactics, it can further enhance the combat power of the Pokémon.

In this way...

"The chances of dealing with the Red-Faced Dragon are even greater."

The fact that Togepi evolves into Togepi just before its challenge against the Red Dragon is definitely good news.

"very good."

Xia Yan patted Pokkigu's head again with satisfaction.

Beedrill and Casey both showed delight.

The fact that some of the Pokémon in the team have seen a significant improvement in their strength is definitely a huge benefit to them.

“Hee hee…” Casey stared at the evolved Togekiss, her mind uncontrollably conjuring up images of her own evolution.

Its aspirations for evolution have grown even stronger.

“Chocolate…”

Letting Xia Yan pat his head, Pokkiku fell into deep thought.

It sensed a strange power within its body, a power it had never encountered before.

It's amazing. It's as if this energy has been accumulating in its body for a long time, but it didn't notice it until this evolution, when it finally felt it.

It waved its little hands, its wings trembled gently, and a light pink whirlwind appeared with the flapping of its wings, mixed with tiny pink powders.

call--

A gentle breeze blew on the stone in front of him, and the rather large stone shattered and split open.

At the same time, Pokkigu could feel that the magical energy in his body had decreased slightly.

Unlike when using Normal-type moves, Normal-type energy can slowly recover after being consumed.

But this energy... doesn't seem to be able to regenerate on its own.

Because it cannot absorb the same energy fluctuations from the air.

When Xia Yan saw Togekiku unleash this move, he froze on the spot, his eyes constantly shifting as he replayed the image of the move Togekiku had just used in his mind.

"Fairy... Wind?"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fairy Wind

"Fairy Wind?"

The move that Togekiku just used was definitely "Fairy Wind".

Fairy-type moves!

If this happened in an era when Fairy-type Pokémon were rampant, Xia Yan would not have been surprised at all if Togekiss used this move.

The problem is that even the concept of the new Fairy type hasn't been proposed yet.

If Xia Yan hadn't been prescient enough to know about the existence of Fairy-type Pokémon and the move "Fairy Wind," he probably wouldn't have been able to tell what Togekiss had just used.

How did Togekiss manage to use a Fairy-type move?

Is its current type still Normal and Flying, or has it changed to Fairy and Flying?

These issues are crucial.

Xia Yan stared intently at Togekiku and asked, "Togekiku, how did you use that move just now? Can you use it again?"

Pokkiku felt a little uneasy under Xia Yan's gaze.

It seems that it did something that greatly surprised Xia Yan, something extraordinary?

Thinking of this, Pokkigu grinned.

“Chocolate…”

As expected of me, you were absolutely amazing...

"Stop drooling." Xia Yan's expression was strange.

"Chakoi!" Pokkigu jumped, quickly wiping his mouth with his little hand.

But he discovered that he had been fooled by Xia Yan; there was no saliva at all, it was all a lie.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Stop thinking about your useless things and recall my question from earlier."

Upon hearing this, Pokkiku stopped joking and mimicked Xia Yan's chin-rubbing gesture.

Slowly, it once again felt that peculiar energy within its body.

I gently fiddled with it.

“Chocolate…”

It seems like it can be reused, but...

Can it really be used again?

Is it not a coincidence or accident?

A hint of surprise appeared on Xia Yan's face. "But what?"

“Chakki,” Pokki muttered.

It seems that every time I use it, the powder decreases a little, and once the powder is used up, it may become unusable.

Pink...

This is probably the name Tokiku used to describe Fairy-type energy.

Very good, that's very much like Teacher Bo.

"Will it run out?" Xia Yan frowned slightly, also falling into deep thought.

The next second, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

He quickly took out a "Pokkie Energy Cube" and said, "Pokkie, try eating one and see if the 'powder' in your body increases."

Under Xia Yan's watchful gaze, Pokkuriku happily devoured the Power Cube in one gulp.

The rich energy quickly spread throughout its body, merging into all the muscles.

I couldn't feel it before, but this time I could.

It then swallowed the energy cube, from which tiny pink particles seeped out, gathering at a certain point on its body before finally merging into the "pink" mass.

“Chakoi!” Pokkiku nodded at Xia Yan with a look of novelty.

There really will be more.

really!

Xia Yan's guess was correct. The reason why Togekiss was able to use Fairy-type moves was not because of the appearance of the Fairy type, nor because Togekiss had become a Fairy-type Pokémon.

Rather, it was because Xia Yan specially customized an energy cube for it, so that it could better develop its fairy-type abilities in the future. Inadvertently, some fairy-type energy was accumulated in its body.

Pogepi may not have been able to sense it before, perhaps for various reasons.

But after evolving into Togekiss, it sensed the presence of Fairy-type energy.
