Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 562: Dragon's Outer Clothing, Motorcycle Lizard Ability Test

The mini dragons that were feasting over there noticed Naoki next to the reef picking up their freshly shed skins.

Some little mini dragons looked over with their big wet eyes.

"Woo?"

What is Naoki doing?

Soon, several well-fed mini dragons flew to Naoki, hid behind the rocks and observed his movements.

Naoki: “I see you guys!”

The mini dragons then flew out. They looked at the mini dragon in Naoki's hand shedding its skin and couldn't help but let out puzzled noises.

"Woo?"

"Hmm?" Naoki saw what the little dragons meant, and answered, "That's because they are very precious! To humans, the skins you don't want are very tough and can be used to make high-end craft products, which can be sold for a lot of money!"

money……

Originally, the mini dragons had no concept of human money, but since the Dragonite on the island started working outside, they began to be exposed to this aspect through osmosis.

Although it’s not much, the mini dragons know that money is a good thing. It can be exchanged for many delicious snacks!
A picture instantly appeared in the minds of the mini dragons.

They exchanged their shed skins for money, and used the money to exchange for lots of snacks from humans.

All kinds of snacks are placed all over the Kuailong Island. Cakes and snacks can be seen everywhere. The whole Kuailong Island has been turned into an edible dream snack island.

"Woo!" So happy!
Soon, however, one of the mini dragons thought of something that made the dragon sad.

Because all the skins they shed before were thrown away at random...

Their dream snack island plan is going to be ruined X﹏X
Naoki heard clearly what these mini dragons meant: "..."

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Just collect the skins next time you shed your skin. Besides, it's just a snack island, right? That's easy. I can help you build it!" he said.

As expected, when the mini dragons heard this, excitement suddenly appeared in their eyes.

At this moment, in their eyes, Naoki was like a God!

"Woo!" That's great!

"Then I'll take these skins back first?" Naoki asked.

The mini dragons nodded casually. It was useless for them to ask for it anyway. Naoki was so good to them that they would be happy even if all the skins were given to him.

"Then I won't bother you any more, see you tomorrow!" Naoki waved goodbye to these mini dragons and prepared to go back to study the effect of the dragon's outer coat.

The mini dragons also said goodbye to him happily.

Naoki then rode the Gulden back to the ranch.

However, he was not in a hurry to cook the dragon skins immediately, because the leather in this state did not look suitable for cooking.

Therefore, Naoki plans to dry it first, then grind it into powder before making it.

The time had unknowingly come to noon, and Naoki started the processing process after preparing lunch for everyone on the ranch.

First, use an oven to dry the dragon sloughs until they are completely dehydrated, and finally put them into a stone scoop and hammered repeatedly until they are all turned into powder.

At this time, the mini dragon's molt appears so white that it is almost transparent.

Naoki looked carefully, and the detailed information of the white powder emerged in his mind.

[Mini dragon's slough powder: a special item. The material obtained after processing can no longer be used to make craft supplies, but it can be used for other purposes. The dishes made with it will have the effect of "dragon's outer garment". ]

Become!

The next step is to prepare it into a dish.

He took out the glutinous rice flour used to make glutinous rice balls from the cupboard, and then mixed it with the dragon slough powder to make a thin dough.

Next, put in fillings such as strawberry jam, sesame paste, and tree fruit jam. Finally, shape it into balls and steam them in a pot.

Naoki set an alarm, and then started to check Rotom's phone and watch videos.

It is already October, and the Lily of the Valley Convention in the Sinnoh region begins at this time.

Since the advent of the Internet age, major leagues have been broadcasting live to the world when holding major competitions.

One is to increase the popularity of the league competition, and the other is to show the strength of one's trainers to people in other regions and attract more people to come and challenge.

The Sinnoh League is no exception.

However, it is still night in the Sinnoh region, and there is a time difference of nearly twelve hours between the two places. Naoki cannot watch the live broadcast and can only watch the replay.

Just like in the anime, Xiaozhi also participated in this competition, and the legendary beast man Darkrai who defeated Xiaozhi was also among them.

Darko swept all the way into the semi-finals with just one Darkrai.

The last game was between Xiaozhi and Shinji, and he defeated Shinji and qualified for the next round.

This means that the plot in the anime will be staged again tomorrow.

Xiaozhi was defeated by Darko and was eliminated.

"Tsk, what a pity! This is truly a powerful enemy that has fallen from the sky!" Naoki couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Xiaozhi.

This is probably the only way to become a Pokémon Master, right?

Perhaps it was precisely because of so much hardship that Xiaozhi was able to defeat Dantei in the final of the eight masters, win the championship, become a true Pokémon master, and fulfill his original dream.

The Darkrai of Darko on the screen defeated the opponent's Pokémon with just one move.

Naoki lost interest after watching it for a few seconds, because the following plots were all things he had seen before.

Just then, the alarm rang. Naoki quickly turned off the Rotom phone and got up to check the steamer.

The moment the lid of the pot is opened, a sweet and soft aroma accompanied by steam hits you in the face.

In the misty fog, round, white and plump balls were lying there quietly.

The moment Naoki's eyes met them, the information about those dumplings emerged in his mind.

【Dragon Shedding Balls (A): Balls made from the shed skin of a mini dragon and glutinous rice flour, with a variety of jams added inside to make them more flavorful.

Cooking effect: Dragon's Coat. After using it on a Pokémon, the Pokémon will gain the effect "Dragon's Coat", which greatly increases the toughness of the skin and scales, and reduces the damage received when being attacked to a certain extent. This effect is only effective for Pokémon with dragon attributes, and each Pokémon can only be used once.

Comment: Give it to your dragon-type Pokémon! 】

"Hmm? Greatly increase the toughness of the skin and scales? And also reduce the damage taken?"

The moment he saw these descriptions, a characteristic emerged in Naoki's mind - Dragonite's multiple scales!

[Multiple Scales: When your health is full, the damage you take will be reduced.]

And the effect of this Dragon Shedding Pill, isn't it the permanent multiple scales feature?
It's outrageous!

With Dragonite's current strength, if it eats a Dragon Shedding Pill, coupled with its multiple scales, I'm afraid even the attacks of Legendary Pokémon won't be able to cause it much damage.

What’s even more exaggerated is that it is not only effective against Dragonite and its family, but also against other dragon Pokémon!

Naoki immediately called Gul'don, Motorlizard and Dragonite, and fed each of the three dragons a Dragon Shedding Pill.

Although the three Pokémon had no idea what it was, they swallowed the balls obediently anyway.

When Dragonite ate the sweet jam inside, it immediately let out a happy cry: "Awoo~" "How does it feel?" Naoki observed the status of the three Pokémon.

"Ah, gash~" Gultun let out a cry of joy.

"Gaao~" The Motorcycle Lizard also showed a happy expression.

"It seems that this ball will slowly improve the physical condition of the Dragon Pokémon..." Naoki murmured in his heart when he saw that there was no obvious change in them.

As they grow, their skin toughness and scales firmness slowly improve, just like some Chinese medicine pills.

"Okay, it's okay, you guys can continue to go out and play!"

After verifying the effectiveness of the Dragon Shedding Pills, Naoki plans to send the remaining Dragon Shedding Pills to Giratina and the dragon Pokémon on the World Tree.

But before that, he looked at the back of the Motorcycle Lizard running away, and suddenly felt that the little Motorcycle Lizard at home was about to become a Buff monster.

Two months ago was Motorlizard’s birthday, and Naoki fed it a birthday cake to increase its racial value again.

So far, the Motorcycle Lizard has eaten birthday cakes four times. It is unknown what level its racial value has reached. Coupled with some other enhanced dishes on a daily basis, the Motorcycle Lizard's true strength is probably far from being as harmless and mediocre as it usually appears.

"I have to find an opportunity to test it." Naoki thought.

He originally thought that he would have to wait a long time for this opportunity, but he didn't expect that when he went to the town to buy ingredients that afternoon, he saw a research institute that specialized in testing the physical fitness and strength level of Pokémon.

"Huh? A research institute that tests the physical fitness of Pokémon?" Naoki raised his eyebrows, very curious about this research.

He couldn't help but ask the people around him about the news of this research institute.

Soon, Naoki learned some information about the research institute from the enthusiastic townspeople.

The owner of the research institute is Dr. Kuroki, who is said to have moved here from the Kanto region. He moved the research institute to this town because he liked the customs and culture of the Padia region and the culture of the Bud Crown.

Naoki originally thought that this Dr. Kuroki would have a head full of white hair like Dr. Oak.

But when he entered the research institute to visit, he found that Dr. Kuroki was very young, and seemed to have just graduated from college. He looked to be no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

"Ah? Hello! Welcome to my research institute!" Seeing Naoki suddenly coming in, Dr. Kuroki greeted him with a smile and cast his eyes on Gulerton beside Naoki: "Wow, such a strong dragon breath!"

"Hello, Professor Kuroki, my name is Naoki, and I would like to bring my Pokémon to your place to have their physical fitness checked." Naoki said.

"Of course, I'm welcome." Dr. Kuroki grinned, stood up and began to introduce his research institute to Naoki.

On the way, Naoki saw a graduation certificate from Yuhong University and some gold medals in research on the wall.

This means that Dr. Kuroki is an excellent student!
"This is my laboratory. Don't be fooled by its messy appearance. It actually has all the functions!"

Then, Dr. Kuroki pointed to the machine in the laboratory and said:
"This side is a device for detecting strength, that side is a device for detecting speed, and the innermost one is a device for detecting the ability to withstand blows. I specialize in studying the differences between different individuals of the same species of Pokémon."

Hmm? There is a doctor who studies this? I don't think he has appeared in the anime?
"I've never heard of this kind of machine outside before." Naoki said truthfully.

"Oh, of course!" Dr. Kuroki grinned sheepishly, "To be honest, I developed these devices myself."

"There's no point in saying more, why not just come and take a look!" Professor Kuroki blew a whistle, and soon, a group of Pikachu from the Kanto region ran over from outside.

"Everyone, come and help!" said Dr. Kuroki.

The next second, Naoki saw those Pikachus run onto a machine and start using electric-attribute moves.

The electric shocks they release are supplied to the various machines in the laboratory through pipes.

In the blink of an eye, the machines began to light up.

"Because the machine requires too much electricity to run, if we use the town's electricity, it will cause the power system of Ziqin Town to be paralyzed, so I can only let my Pikachus help generate electricity." Dr. Kuroki explained.

Naoki: “…” It turns out that every scientist in the Pokémon world can create high-tech.

"Come out! My friend!" Professor Kuroki took out a Poké Ball from his waist.

With a flash of white light, a giant hornet appeared in the research institute.

"Beedrill, next I'll trouble you to enter the machine over here!" said Dr. Kuroki.

The Beedrill flapped its wings, nodded calmly, and flew into the power detecting device.

The next second, the device started automatically, and beams of red light began to carefully scan the body of the Beedrill.

After a moment, the scan was completed and the data was uploaded to the computer. The Beedrill then went to the speed detection device.

After repeating this several times, the Beedrill's physical data appeared completely in the computer.

Dr. Kuroki sat in front of the computer, pointed at the progress bars on the screen and said:
"See? I divided the abilities of Pokémon into six categories based on their different abilities."

"They are physical strength, physical attack, physical defense, special attack, special defense, and speed!"

"I have done a lot of research before, collecting data on nearly a hundred Pokémon of the same species, and took an average value and regarded it as the standard, which is this line."

Dr. Kuroki said, pointing to the line in the middle of the progress bar on the screen.

"If it doesn't reach this line, it means that the Pokémon has poor physical fitness and is malnourished. If it exceeds that line, it means that the Pokémon has been well bred."

"Of course, even if a Pokémon is born malnourished, it can become an excellent Pokémon if it is professionally nurtured later."

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned.

Isn't this the individual value in the game?

"Look, all of my Beedrills have met the standard lines, which means it is a very healthy Beedrill." said Dr. Kuroki.

Naoki nodded, then glanced at Gulerton and asked, "Can I check this Pokémon of mine?"

However, Professor Kuroki said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I don't know this Pokémon, and I haven't collected its data, so I can't make a comparison."

Naoki was not surprised by this.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the motorcycle lizard?"

"Motor Lizard? A famous transportation Pokémon in the Padia region?" Professor Kuroki nodded and said, "What a coincidence! I just collected the standard data of Motor Lizard the day before yesterday."

"That's good. I would like to trouble you to check the physical condition of my motorcycle lizard." Naoki said.

"Of course!" Dr. Kuroki grinned.

Naoki took out Motor Lizard's Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, Motor Lizard appeared in the laboratory.

It first looked around in confusion, then looked at Naoki.

Naoki signaled to it not to worry, he wanted to check its physical condition.

"It's okay, little motorcycle lizard, come here!" Dr. Kuroki guided.

At Naoki's nod, the Motorcycle Lizard entered the machines.

Five minutes later, the motor lizard's physical data appeared on the computer screen.

"Come, let me take a look..." said Dr. Kuroki, but when he saw the data of the Motorcycle Lizard on the screen clearly, his eyes widened instantly.

On the screen, the data in the column representing strength far exceeds the average data of Pokémon like Motorlizard.

Not only the strength, but also the physical strength, speed, and physical defense have all reached an extremely exaggerated level, and are almost off the charts!
"What, what, what is going on?!" Dr. Kuroki said in shock.

What's the point of this for him?
This motorcycle lizard, is it still a motorcycle lizard? !
