Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

Once it reached a position where it could reach Pikachu, Ditto aimed its fist at Pikachu's current location and blasted it out!

The punch struck its back directly, and the enormous force knocked Pikachu's small body off its back on the spot!

Just like a fleeting meteor.

boom!

Pikachu's body stretched out in a straight line in mid-air, and like Lapras, it crashed directly into the protective barrier, unable to fall for a long time, and thus lost its ability to battle!

At this moment, Ditto fell back into the water, and Rocco, who had been wearing a smile since the beginning, spoke directly to Alice after Pikachu lost its ability to battle.

"Ju Zi, you must have made a mistake."

"Whether it's your challenge to fight me or your attempt to outmaneuver me using tactics against numerical superiority, from beginning to end—you are the challengers!"

......

35. I can use all the system rewards, so who is the system training?

The 2-on-2 match was over, so the servants of the Lorraine family responsible for managing the arena prepared to first empty the water from the arena before opening the protective barrier.

Rocco and Alice also took out Poké Balls and recalled Ditto and Pikachu.

"Pikachu..."

Alice looked at Pikachu lying in the Poké Ball and pursed her lips slightly. However, this vulnerable expression only lasted for less than three seconds before her eyes hardened again!

She said it before—the Lorraine family's dictionary does not contain the word "admitting defeat"!

For Lorraine, who loves something and will continue to love it and persevere in doing it, failure will not be a reason to defeat them, but will only become the kindling that ignites their fighting spirit!

So Alice's gaze swept across the field that was being cleared and looked towards the high platform where Rocco was located.

At this moment, Rocco had already released Ditto, which had returned to its original form, and then praised it together with Victini. This situation made Ditto open its mouth and use its hand-like body to cover its face, looking embarrassed.

Seeing Ditto's reaction, Victini recalled Ditto's fighting spirit in the previous battle and realized that it still didn't know enough about Ditto.

It was also discovered that Ditto actually had some secrets on his mind.

So they started communicating with Ditto in the language of Pokémon.

Understanding it, guiding it.

'Tinnitini~!'

"Well..."

Seeing the two of them interacting, Luo Ke stood aside and smiled.

Indeed, as someone who suddenly transmigrated to the Pokémon world, his previous understanding of Pokémon mostly came from the game. Even if he knew the base stats of Pokémon and understood which direction to train them, he was not good at training Pokémon.

Furthermore, after transmigrating, he realized that he was quite remarkable and had made great efforts to open up to people in this world, even though he had few friends in his previous life. He was able to communicate with people to a certain extent and even make friends like Eureka.

To expect him to deduce the elf's thoughts from minor details... it's too much to ask unless the elf's mind works the same way as Eureka's.

For him, who was born into an environment without elves, these were things he couldn't help.

but...

Luo Ke never thought he could do everything by himself.

He was not alone.

If only Victini could do what he couldn't.

They are partners, friends, and family, and because they are not related by blood, their bond will eventually surpass that of true blood relatives!

He only needs to do what he can do and what he is good at.

As for the rest—leave it to Victini, to Ditto, to the other Pokémon of the future...

That's enough.

He would use his strengths to protect his companions' weaknesses, and without hesitation, entrust his own weaknesses to his companions to protect.

This is Luo Ke.

So right now, Victini is doing what it does best, while Rocco is quietly doing what only he can do.

That is...

Check out the system rewards!

That's right. Previously, when Roco defeated the Pokémon with his own fists, no reward was triggered. However, after he won another Pokémon battle, the system once again demonstrated its effectiveness.

The moment Ditto defeated Pikachu, a system notification popped up on Rocco's side.

[Congratulations, host, on winning a battle!]

[Reward: Trait - Courage]

So this is the reward... As expected, you can only get the reward by winning a Pokémon battle. I must have misunderstood this system before. Giving the newbie reward to a super rookie must be a way to protect trainers. And the fact that I was able to learn the Mega Punch skill from the first reward must also be a problem with being a super rookie.

The strongest trainer the system mentioned is indeed...

Just as Luo Ke was thinking this, he was also processing the extra information in his mind.

He suddenly realized something!

That is, after the application of courage as a characteristic appeared in his mind—this application naturally appeared in himself!

For example, a basic use of Courage can make Normal and Fighting-type moves have twice the effect on Ghost-type Pokémon.

Another advanced application of Courage is that, under normal circumstances, a Pokémon with this ability will not be affected by the opponent's Pokémon having the Intimidate ability!

You dare threaten me!?

I have the guts and I'm not afraid!

Having played the later generations of the game, Luo Ke understood that this advanced application was a new effect added to the courage trait in the eighth generation, and he was not surprised by it.

The system reward, instead of being faked, actually applied directly to him...

This strongest trainer really needs to be questioned, right?

The move bonus and ability bonus are both for me, isn't that great!

If I can use all the system rewards myself, then who exactly is the system cultivating?

but...

If you capture a Pokémon with the Courage trait, Roko can teach it how to use it.

After all, other trainers only understand it, but he—can use it himself!

You want to compare understanding with me?!

But since I can have special abilities... does that mean I'll be able to get the Intimidate ability in the future?

Normally, Pokémon with the Intimidate ability enter the battle to scare the opponent and lower their attack power. In reality, if a Pokémon is switched out and the opponent quickly overcomes the psychological impact, the attack power reduction effect might not even be achieved.

But what if Roco had the Intimidate trait...?

I, as a trainer, directly intimidate them from the sidelines!

What are you going to do about this?!

Just thinking about this gave Luo Ke a completely new understanding of the features the system provided him.

By this time, the site had been cleared.

Rocco led Victini and Ditto down from the platform and arrived at the location where Rudolph and the head maid were.

Alice happened to walk over there at that moment.

Her face showed no sign of disappointment. She went straight up to Luo Ke, her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open, and the fighting spirit in her eyes seemed to have materialized into flames.

"Mr. Rocco, you are stronger this time—but next time I will be better prepared and challenge you again!"

Rocco admired Alice's undiminished fighting spirit.

"Okay, but my answer is the same as last time."

"I accept your challenge and will keep winning until you completely admit defeat."

"Then you've got a long wait. There's no such word as 'admitting defeat' in the Lorraine family's dictionary!"

Alice spoke instinctively at first, but quickly realized what she was doing, blushed, and added another sentence.

"No, I'll win next time! I won't have to wait that long!"

"Oh, alright then."

Rocco said this with a smile, then stopped looking at Alice and went to Rudolph to say goodbye. He then left with Victini and Ditto.

Alice watched Rocco's departing figure, pursed her lips, and her ears turned red with anger!

But her statement that she will win next time is not just a baseless slogan.

She's already figured out how to win!

Ditto transformed into Loko and used moves that looked like the Normal-type Mega Punch. Considering its human form's fighting style, it must be either a Normal or Fighting type.

In that case—how would you handle it if I went to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon?

......

36. The meaning of the strongest trainer

After leaving the Lorraine family, Rocco returned to the Miner's Guild.

This time there were no problems. The staff took Luo Ke directly to the warehouse where Z crystals were stored and said that all the crystals there now belonged to Luo Ke.

Under these circumstances, Luo Ke took the warehouse key, paid the money, and then asked the staff to leave. He then went directly into the warehouse to search for the Z-Crystal he wanted!

If he were the only one here, searching for them one by one would take him a month or even longer, given the warehouse's reserves.

But he has Bictini.

'Tini~!'

Although Victini cannot resonate with the Z-Crystal, once its mental energy connects with Roko, Roko gains an extremely terrifying scanning field of vision.

In this state, he scanned all the Z-Crystals with his eyes that shone with azure light.

He would glance at any piece with impure energy and move on, while he would resonate with any piece with high energy purity to see if it was a Z-purity crystal.

He stayed in the warehouse for a very long time.

It wasn't until dinner time that he and Victini finally managed to scan through the entire warehouse of Z-Crystals.

Luo Ke had prepared for Z-Crystals to be very rare from the very beginning.

However, when the results came out, Luo Ke was still surprised.

So rare!

After searching through this entire warehouse of Z crystals, they found that there was only one pure Z crystal!

Furthermore, this Z-Crystal isn't the Normal, Psychic, or Fire type that Roco wanted; instead, it's Ghost type!

He walked out of the warehouse with the Ghost Z in his hand, completely silent.

Because it's useless; it can't even be used to test whether this thing can unleash a Z-Move!

the reason is simple.

Ditto has never seen a Ghost-type Pokémon, so given its transformation reserves and transformation level, it simply cannot transform into a Ghost-type Pokémon to test Z-Moves.

And Bictini...

In Rocco's memory, Victini should have been able to learn the Shadow Ball move.

But Bictini put its little paws on its hips and half-opened its eyes, as if to say, "Do you understand Bictini or do I understand Bictini?"

Do you think I don't know whether I can use Shadow Ball or not?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Roco had actually discovered long ago that Victini had a very comprehensive grasp of the support moves it could learn and used them quite well, but it didn't have a good grasp of offensive moves and didn't know many of them!

That's where the problem arises.

"We only found one Z-Crystal out of so many Z-Crystals. Waiting for the next one isn't impossible, but who knows when that will be? What I really want to know is whether this thing can activate Z-Moves..."

Muttering to himself, Luo Ke quickly made a decision.
