He knows Pokémon better than me.

Since he was already here, Ash naturally decided to use the golden crown.

"Alright, since you insist, Pikachu isn't out of the question."

The fitness instructor accepted the crown with a look of "wasteful" disapproval, then went to the side to turn on a specific piece of equipment. The entire gym was immediately filled with a high-frequency "buzzing" vibration, and the ground was shaking, attracting curious glances from many people.

Pikachu, meanwhile, stood there rubbing its fists together, its eyes gleaming with excitement; it hadn't exercised in a long time, despite its old bones.

"Come in with me."

A short while later, the fitness instructor returned and led the way.

Several other people in the same group uniforms appeared beside him, holding whiteboards and preparing to take notes, wearing monitoring goggles, looking quite professional.

"This is a special gravity chamber. If you train in it, your abilities in all aspects will improve much more effectively."

He pointed to the innermost room, whose outer walls consisted of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing a view inside from the corridor.

"The current gravity is three times the base value. After getting used to it for a while, we can start extreme training for all attributes."

"You can go in now, Pikachu."

Ash peered into the doorway. Inside, it looked as if Galarian Moltres had cast "Burning Fury," as the high pressure gave it an eerie deep red color, exuding an inexplicable sense of oppression.

I tried putting my hand inside and shaking it; it really felt like being bound to a black iron ball and being dragged downwards.

"Wow! What a great place!"

His eyes lit up. He wondered how such a gravity chamber was constructed, and perhaps he could build a similar room in his own watchtower.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu had already jumped in and was hopping around inside, its movements not being affected much.

He then looked around in confusion, as if asking: Is that all?

This immediately made several Marlowe Group employees in the corridor frown.

That shouldn't be the case. Under three times the gravity, this electric mouse should be moving at a snail's pace like a coal tortoise.

Is the gravity chamber broken because it hasn't been used for too long?

Starting this device is extremely expensive, so even the wealthy rarely use it.

"Three times! Increase it to ten times!"

Ash smiled and suggested from outside the door that three times the power of his Pikachu would be a gross underestimation.

The matter-of-fact tone almost made the coach next to him lose his balance.

"Ten times can cause injury. Okay, I can stop at any time."

The fitness instructor carefully manipulated the movement from outside, slowly raising the prominent number "three" inside the room to "ten".

If Pikachu shows any discomfort during the process, they will stop immediately.

As gravity increased, the air became increasingly dark, but Pikachu remained completely unaffected throughout.

It wasn't until it reached ten times the force of gravity that Pikachu's upright tail finally began to bend downwards.

"Pikachu."

Pikachu looked at its little hands, which felt heavy, and started running in circles to get used to them.

"A move similar to 'gravity'?"

Looking through the shop window, Xiao Zhi stroked his chin and said.

He still had half a hand sticking out from under the door to feel around—

At about five times the normal speed, it becomes similar to the "Gravity" move, making it impossible for ordinary flying Pokémon to take off normally.

At ten times the normal rate, it's like being in a "sandstorm" for a Pokémon, causing it to continuously lose health.

But for Pikachu, it seems to be just right?
"It's really broken?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Pikachu use Quick Attack and run at high speed in the room. Of course, under ten times the gravity, Pikachu's Quick Attack speed was significantly reduced, and its body trajectory could be clearly seen, rather than just a rapid white flash.

After a brief adjustment period, the next step was the formal six-item extreme training program.

For example, you can use Iron Tail to continuously slash alloy steel plates to increase your physical attack, and rely on the battery to test the voltage to increase your special attack.

Using a hydraulic press to simulate physical compression, Pikachu's physical defense is honed; simulating Charizard's release of heat, Pikachu's special defense is increased.
Is it a custom-made project?

Xiao Zhi watched in amazement from outside the shop window.

The group of Marlowe Group employees around him were taking notes diligently.

This Pikachu seems to be something special!

The gravity chamber is definitely functioning normally. If someone were to go in now, they would be "stuck" to the ground and unable to move.

However, Pikachu can move freely, waving its tail and emitting electric shocks.
Everyone's expressions were a mix of confusion and bewilderment.

Seeing Pikachu getting more and more excited, Ash also got excited and waved his hand:
"Increase the gravity by 20 times!"

Since we've come all this way, we naturally want to experience its most powerful performance.

These words made the fitness instructor's muscles tremble.

The limit of this gravity chamber is 20x, but even the most robust Fighting-type Pokémon usually only go up to around 8x.
20 times, that would probably only be possible for legendary Pokémon with extremely strong bodies, right?

Seeing that the electric mouse had fully adapted to ten times the gravity, he gritted his teeth and increased the multiplier even further.

15 times! 20 times!
"Snapped!"

The immense gravity instantly turned Pikachu into a flattened "mouse pancake," leaving it sprawled on the ground.

The gravity was so intense that the gravity chamber was buzzing and seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

The fitness instructor immediately wanted to revert it back to 10x.

For extreme training, an environment with 5 times gravity is sufficient.

"Pikachu!"

But Pikachu quickly managed to get up again.

He even burst forth with lightning, as if recharging himself, and forced himself to stand up.

This time, its movements were just like Torkoal's: clumsy and slow. It walked to the side to cut steel and boost its physical attack.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Ash nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of Pikachu."

He silently compared the gravity to that of Blaze Ace, and realized that such gravity would have rendered Rabbit Cake unable to get up.

"Messi."

Doromia immediately shrank back into Ash's collar, looking relieved.

Thankfully, I didn't undergo extreme training!

The extreme training ended approximately three hours later.

Inside the gravity chamber, Pikachu had fully adapted to twenty times the gravity, and could now use Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Thunderbolt with ease.

Of course, techniques like supersonic speed are thus restricted and difficult to use.

Such a performance has left a group of fitness instructors speechless.

What the heck is this electric mouse?!
They stared blankly at the test data in their hands, which showed that Pikachu had "exercised" in all six categories.

This means that Pikachu's abilities at this moment are now consistent with its abilities at full IVs, but...
It seems there's not much improvement.

It seems this electric mouse had maxed-out individual values ​​from the very beginning? (End of Chapter)
