He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Um, by the way, does anyone buy this kind of thing?"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head. He had eaten it when he was in the Pearl Village. It was moist, crunchy, and astringent, and it even made his throat feel a little cold after eating it.

Team Pearl usually uses it as food for Ice-type Pokémon or trades it to people from other places.

Beside him, the Mr. Mime was also pressing the calculator buttons.
In the Galar region, I guess only trainers in Battlegrounds would accept this.

"Shemi~"

However, Shemi just proudly raised her little head.

He grows ice radishes not for profit, but simply to prove his cultivation skills.

"Ok."

Xiao Zhi shrugged. Anyway, farming and making money is no longer popular these days.

His gaze fell upon the castle next door, where most of the revenue came from handmade products, so there was no need to sell these ice radishes.

When you have nothing to do, just let Mr. Mime eat them all.

"Bari?"

The Mr. Mime paused, then pointed at himself and frowned.

Even if it's an Ice-type Pokémon, this kind of food is probably only suitable for large Pokémon like Bear, Mamoswine, and Abomasnow.

Eating a humanoid Pokémon of this normal size will give you a toothache!
Soon, Ash finished packing his luggage from the Unova region, sat down on a wooden chair under the shade of a grassy tree, leaned back, and finally let out a long sigh.

Finally, we're back on track with the original storyline.

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime sat on the other side, with the same expression.

The watchtower castle is now fully operational thanks to the agent, requiring minimal maintenance.

From now on, it should focus on its cultivation!
"Bari!"

Mr. Mime got up again, looked around, and searched for Pokémon that could use "psychic powers" or even "psychic abilities"—

Its target is Leon's Ice-Treading Doll!

Compared to practicing moves that counter Fire, Bug, and Rock types that are weak to you.
It felt the key was to train its resilience against superpowers in order to cope with the mental attacks of the Ice-Treading Doll.

Xiao Zhi's lips twitched. His older cousin was too intelligent; he could even choose the training direction himself.

However, after Mr. Mime scanned the area, it seemed that Ash only had himself among the Pokémon with the Psychic type.
No, there's also the newly added Victini.

"Bari."

Thinking of this, Mr. Mime's expression darkened. If it's about training in superpower resilience, it's best to proceed step by step.
"Butterfly~"

Just then, a soft, trembling sound came from above, and a pink Butterfree floated down from the bushes onto Ash.

As it flaps its wings, it also drops beautiful pink phosphorus powder.

"Oh, Butterfly! It's been days since I've seen you!"

Ash smiled and rubbed Butterfree's cheek; it seemed the latter had completely adapted to the Galar region's environment.

However, this did catch the eye of Mr. Mime.

Without hesitation, it approached, staring intently at Butterfly Big:
"Bari, bari~!"

"Butterfly?"

Ba Dadie blinked her big pink eyes. After understanding the purpose of the visit, she did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

As the head housekeeper here, I still have to help out with Mr. Mime.

It doesn't possess many superpowers.

One move is an illusionary beam of light that radiates outwards in waves; the other is a powerful mental control technique that compresses and squeezes the target from a distance.

It's basically sufficient for practicing stress resistance.

Before long, the two Pokémon went to the side to practice.

"Cheer~!" "Bari!!"

The main strategy involves Butterfly releasing illusion beams from a distance, while Mr. Mime raises his hand to create a light wall in front of him to block them, one attacking and the other defending.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle's open space, the most diligent Flame Ace had already begun his disciplined training.

Its wave missiles are not perfect enough to achieve a 100% lock-on hit rate.

So the first thing I did when I got home was to continue learning from Lucario. Discipline is contagious!

Seeing that some people had started training and even practicing in actual battles, other Pokémon around them also found positions and opponents one after another and joined the training group.

For example, the ichthyosaur.

"Gills, gills~"

It squinted and took the initiative to find Melumeta.

"Meta—!"

The latter, of course, accepted all comers and immediately raised its arms and shouted, revealing its imposing steel body.

What we need is a body of steel!

At this moment, the ichthyosaur immediately put on the "Poisonous Orb," as there were plenty of such miscellaneous items in the castle.

Thump, thump!

The moment it was put on, the tip of my nose turned purple, indicating that I was in a state of extreme poisoning.

"Gills—!!"

Then it opened its mouth wide, a faint purple hue spreading between its teeth, and bit down hard on Melmetta's thigh.

The incomplete venomous fangs could be said to cause no harm to Melmeta, nor could it possibly be poisoned.

"Meta—!!"

Melumeta roared and even extended another jade foot for the gill ichthyosaur to bite.

The latter, of course, didn't hold back and repeatedly used its venomous fangs to bite at it.

"I see."

Ash walked over and realized what was going on. Dracovish really knew how to pick a punching bag!

Even a regular Steel-type Pokémon can be immune to poison.

However, Steel-type Pokémon are too hard, so they can't train Poison Fang, as their teeth will break in no time.

MeroMeta's flexible, freely deformable liquid metal body can mimic an ordinary human body while remaining immune to highly toxic substances.

—Undoubtedly the best practice subject!

Of course, one must always be aware of the highly toxic state, lest one faint from severe poisoning.

This training method is somewhat extreme, so Xiao Zhi simply stood aside, ready to spray antidotes and medicine at any time.

"There aren't enough wet nurses in the castle."

He sighed inwardly.

The only two creatures with healing moves nearby are Magearna and Lucario.

The latter can use the "Life Drop" move.

Of course, the therapeutic effect is not as strong as Maya's "flower therapy cannon".

"Speaking of which, should I temporarily summon Emperor Yan to serve as an external aid?"

Xiao Zhi stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

No matter the injury, a breath of holy fire will instantly restore full health.

Even your energy will become abundant and vigorous!

Of all the healing techniques he has encountered so far, Emperor Yan's Holy Flame is undoubtedly the most superior!

At the same time, the Martial Arts Bear Master, Onion Soldiers, and Armored Dragons also began their training, and explosions frequently rang out inside the castle.

The lively commotion soon attracted Victini, who had flown into the house, and it landed on Ash's head.

"Piccolo!!"

Looking at the surrounding scene, Victini's blue eyes instantly lit up.

Everyone has a great desire to become stronger and win. This is the "will to win" it seeks!
It then took a deep breath, as if drawing in a wealth of nutrients from the air.

"Piccolo—!!"

The next second, Victini's ears glowed orange, and with a flick of her finger, the light of "Power of Victory" instantly enveloped the entire arena! (End of Chapter)
