He knows Pokémon better than me.

If we use the analogy of Bold Mint and Milotic, it only restored 60% of Lurina's confidence.

Now, the statement that "there are gym leaders who are even more outrageous than you" directly raised Lurina's confidence to 99%.

Yeah, she’s definitely not the worst gym leader!
The last 1% comes from Xiaozhi's question:
"I remember that your gym in Galar is divided into the First Army and the Second Army. The position of gym leader requires frequent battles with the Second Army, right?"

Lurina stood up suddenly.

Yes, her Shuizhou Arena holds an internal elimination tournament every six months to determine who is most qualified to become the gym owner.

And every time she maintained her qualification as the gym owner by relying on her strength.

"Come to think of it, I'm not actually that weak, and I'm not slacking off on my work as a gym leader?"

There was a passionate light in Lurina's eyes again.

As for the advice Olivia gave her, there was no need to listen to it.

What do you mean by being a vase? Let the people from the Second Army take her position away first!
But it is also true that I was defeated by Mr. Yalo not long ago.
Lurina suddenly turned her attention to the boy in front of her, and approached Xiaozhi fiercely, saying seriously:
"Please, Xiaozhi, please let me become as strong as Milotic!"

At the very least, we must be able to defeat Yaluo!
"Have I become stronger? That's easy to say."

Xiaozhi raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to get so close. They were all friends, and he didn't mind helping the latter become stronger.

But first, he needs to know Lurina's true strength.

"You should be a trainer specializing in water attributes, right? Just like a friend I knew before. Oh, and she is also a gym trainer."

But judging from the battle scene with Lurina that I saw in Kusaka Town at that time, it seemed that my friends from Kanto were much stronger.

Lurina, who has regained her confidence, doesn't want to continue her vacation. She just wants to continue her modeling work while quickly becoming stronger so that President Ross and his secretary will have nothing to say!
"Everyone, come out!"

So Lurina threw out several Poké Balls in a row to show her lineup to Xiaozhi.

boom! boom! boom!
Several Pokémon suddenly appeared in the castle, causing Pokémon such as Meltan and Crawl to turn around and look.

"Pica~"

Pikachu was lazily lying in the corner, taking a casual glance, but after realizing that it was an existence that could be wiped out by a single thunder strike from him, he lost interest and continued to sleep soundly.

"Oh, is this your lineup?"

Xiaozhi also stood up and looked around. In addition to the strong Turtle, there was also a ferocious and powerful Alola Armored Warrior.

A Phalanx, a Toxic Superstar, a Big-eyed Swamp King, and a Large-mouthed Gull.

Xiaozhi subconsciously raised his hand and found that it was not raining around.

"Don't you, the big-billed gull, have the characteristic of rainfall?"

Xiaozhi discovered the first problem in Lurina's team.

"Rainfall? No, it's the rain-catching feature."

Lulina shook her head. She had spent a lot of money to buy a special ointment and applied it to her gull. As a result, the characteristic changed from "sharp eyes" to "rain catching plate" but did not change to "rainfall".

She was disappointed for a long time at that time.

But this Toucan is the Pokémon she has raised since it was a child, and she is reluctant to replace it, so this is the only way.

"Ooo~"

The toucan gull also flapped its wings and moved closer, rubbing against Lurina to apologize.

"The special ointment has lost its effect?"

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously took out the illustrated book to check——

The more he used this Tri-Fold, the more he felt he was ahead of the curve, as if there were still many new features he hadn't used yet. Sure enough, the Tri-Fold Rotom immediately detected the problem:
"Beep! The normal characteristic of the gull: Sharp Eyes/Rainfall, Hidden Characteristic: Rain Catching Plate Loto~!"

"So if you want to give the gull the rain attribute, you shouldn't use the 'Attribute Ointment', but the 'Attribute Capsule' Loto."

Simply put, the toucan took the wrong medicine!
"Oooooh?"

The Toucan opened its mouth wide and looked at its trainer in a daze. Lurina was also confused.

This information is not available on the Internet!
And generally speaking, the "rainfall" feature is obviously more rare and special than the "rain pan" feature. How can the latter be considered a hidden feature?
"So this is ah!"

But now that she knew the root of the problem, Lurina's eyes finally lit up.

But now, the operation will be more troublesome. Rotom suggested:
"Beep, beep, the process now is: use the characteristic plaster again to convert the characteristic of the big-mouthed gull back to 'Sharp Eyes', and then use the characteristic capsule to convert 'Sharp Eyes' into 'Rain' Loto~"

Xiaozhi: "."

It's really quite a hassle!

However, Lurina hugged her meerkat tightly. As the most famous model in the Galar region, it didn't matter if a dose of special ointment was wasted. She could afford it anyway!
Next are the other Pokémon. The water + ground Swamplord can deal well with opponents with electric attributes.

Super bad stars with poisonous attributes can fight a protracted war of attrition.

The body is like a long shuttle, and it can launch a quick attack.

The armored warrior is the main attacker of frontal destruction, and the violent turtle serves as a meat shield. When necessary, he can also rely on the "strong jaws" to launch powerful attacks.

In addition, the large-billed gulls that can bring rain in the future will serve as weather assistants.
"Well, you have a pretty good lineup."

Xiaozhi touched his chin. Lurina's lineup was quite balanced and could handle almost any scenario.

Before Ash could reply to Lurina's expectant look of "keep getting stronger", Triple-Folded Rotom spoke again on his own:

"Beep! Analysis completed. Your Gigantamax can continue to upgrade. Eat 'Gigantamax Soup' to upgrade the normal Gigantamax to Gigantamax Lotor!"

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously:

"Tell me more about what is the Gigantic Soup?"

Lurina: “.”

Is the illustrated guide the real body?
She had heard of Gigantamax Soup, which was said to be a fantasy dish. After a Pokémon eats it, its normal Gigantamax can be upgraded to Super Gigantamax.

However, the ingredients and recipes are not so easy to find.

Only some elderly people or senior museum owners have it in their hands.

“It looks like I’ll be busy from now on.”

Lurina sighed and said that she wanted to buy new special ointments and special capsules, and use the Gigantamax Soup for the Violent Tortoise.

As for how to train and become stronger, Triple Fold Rotom formulated a set of targeted strategies for Lurina:

"Beep! Have the armored warriors practice the 'Sword Dance' move to increase their offensiveness. Remember to make use of the 'Danger Avoidance' trait during combat."

"Let Super Bad Star master some skills such as 'Poison', 'Self-Regeneration', and 'Bunker' to increase durability and prolong the battle time."

Lurina took out her Rotom cell phone, recognized the voice, and took notes carefully.

I still have doubts in my mind:

"Why doesn't my Rotom have this kind of targeted training strategy?"

When asked how to upgrade the Super Bad Star, the only answers were old-fashioned man-machine strategies like "Make the World Invincible"! (End of this chapter)
