He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Speaking of which, should I find a special ability patch to change the Double Gas ability back to a normal ability?"

Xiaoyou stroked her chin, deep in thought.

The normal ability of Double Gas, "Chemical Change Gas," can force the opponent's ability to become a blank, making everyone equal.

If you encounter an opponent who relies on special abilities for tactics, switching in with Double Weezing is definitely a god-tier ability.

In comparison, the mist-creating effect of "Little Tapu Fini" is rather mediocre.

Unlike other terrain effects, which can increase the damage of moves of the corresponding attribute.

The only exception is the foggy venue—

It doesn't increase the power of Fairy-type moves; it only reduces the power of Dragon-type moves, making it completely useless.

The only move that can increase damage is Mist Burst, but you can't exactly go for a self-destruct build, can you?
Moreover, even with the double bonuses of "identical attributes" and "misty field", the power of a true self-destruct build is still not as great as a Big Bang.

That would be worse than just having a massive explosion!

At the top of the watchtower, Ash put the Vine Whip back into his bracelet, shook his wrist to relax, and ended his training for the day.

He casually ruffled Victini's hair as she sat on the railing next to him.

The latter's large "V"-shaped ears were still flashing orange light.

"Piccoo~!"

Bictini stared with its big blue eyes and let out a clear, low hum.

Its power to win doesn't discriminate!

Since Xiaoyou is temporarily staying here, as long as it senses the will to win, it will naturally respond with the corresponding power of victory.

However, of Xiao You's four generals, only the Thunder King Kong had a strong enough will to win; the other three did not show much emotional fluctuation.

Immediately, Victini's eyes, like detectors, began to scan the surrounding area from all angles, searching for the "delicious" will to win.

Noticing that Yu was staring intently at her Weezing, Ash came down from the watchtower.

With light steps, he walked quickly to Xiaoyou's side, a warm smile on his face as always.
"Hey, are you having some training difficulties? I can help!"

As the lord of the castle, isn't it reasonable to take care of the guests?
Not far away, Mr. Mime, who was sparring with Abbott, finally showed a relieved smile.

Xiao You looked away, gave a dry laugh, and then sighed helplessly:
"It's not exactly a predicament, it's just that I feel my approach has maximized the potential losses."

She stared intently, counting on her fingers—

Specialty plasters are expensive, and others use them to transform ordinary traits into hidden traits, but now she wants to do the opposite.

This is a loss.

"Moreover, dual-explosive gas has two common characteristics."

Xiaoyou clearly has a very clear understanding of the encyclopedia information.

The primary characteristic is levitation; the secondary characteristic is that it is a chemically transformed gas.

In other words, after using the special trait ointment, you need to feed the user another special trait capsule to switch to the normal trait.

While not as rare and expensive as special medicated plasters, these capsules are still considered high-end luxury items.

This is a complete disaster!
Thinking about this made her even more depressed!
"Hiss—"

Sensing the trainer's low mood, the Weezing came closer and let out a muffled growl, seemingly trying to comfort the latter.

"Specialty plasters and capsules? I can help you with that!"

Xiao Zhi casually chimed in, looking relaxed:

"Hehe, I've collected quite a few raw materials during this time!"

However, speaking of
His gaze unconsciously drifted to Lucario, who was meditating not far away.

Lucario's craftsmanship is superb and impeccable. But, it seems he doesn't yet know how to make special balms and special capsules?
He does have a few raw materials for making special plasters; they are herbs with a crooked shape, but he hasn't used them yet.

It must require some kind of advanced technology to turn it into a dark, magical ointment, right?

"Throughout my travels, I haven't heard of anyone who has this skill."

Xiao Zhi rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.

It seems like even the gym leaders don't know how.

"Uh, the method for making this special plaster seems to have been lost long ago?"

Xiao You spread her hands and couldn't help but remind her:
"Even among us Watt merchants, we can't get the specific production recipes and processes."

but
If you directly exchange for finished product-specific plasters, then yes, you can exchange for them.

Although it is often in a state of "temporarily sold out" or "last stock", it is always able to be restocked on time.

Xiao You pursed her lips, which proved that there must be someone within the Watt Merchants organization who knew the specific production method of the special ointment and was able to produce it continuously.

Furthermore, it is strictly controlled to maintain a scarce state where there is a price but no market, deliberately whetting the appetite of trainers.

"Wait a minute, I remember Watt's Shop belongs to..."

Xiao Zhi blinked, and the image of that always smiling, middle-aged, oily-skinned uncle immediately popped into his mind.

"Yes, it is indeed a store under President Rose."

Xiao You nodded affirmatively.

Watt shops are scattered throughout Galar, and a backpacker Watt merchant is one such shop, often appearing at the entrances and exits of the Wilderness.

She herself was one of them, so she naturally knew very well.

"For everyday necessities, props, agricultural products, etc., President Rose won't compete with ordinary merchants."

For example, the competitor of Pierre's Grocery Store at the time was the Sisso department store, which had no connection with the Marocomón Group owned by Chairman Loz.

However, Watt Shop's target customers are mostly trainers who are preparing for adventures in the wilderness or other dangerous places.

When talking about her job, Xiaoyou spoke with great familiarity, gesturing with her fingers:

"Watt's shop mainly sells exploration equipment, real-time combat items, and some rare and special items."

"For example, the Wishing Star needed to make the Max Bracer, and the Special Ability Potion for the finished product."

Although it has been rumored online that the craft of making special plasters has been lost, it now seems that it is in the hands of Chairman Rose.

After listening, even Ash couldn't help but sigh:
"Tsk, President Rose is truly a genius!"

This only made it harder for him to imagine that the other party might suddenly turn against him in the future.

There must be a reason, right?
Could it be!

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing an unprecedented confidence.

Xiaoyou blinked and looked at Xiaozhi curiously.

"President Rose, you want to become the strongest trainer, surpassing Leon, right?!"

Xiao Zhi spoke with certainty, as if he had seen through the truth.

After much thought, it seems that the only area where Chairman Rose hasn't yet reached "perfection" is in Trainer Battles.

If you forcibly summon an ancient god and use its power to fight, then defeating the champion will not be difficult.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xiao Zhi was excited and kept repeating, "That explains everything!"
