Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 490 Pogaman's Training Program
Piplup, shoot down!

In just a few minutes, it witnessed the trainer use the following moves: "Life Drop," "Water Ring," "Rain Dance," "Water Shuriken," "Whirlpool," "Water Jet," "Bubble Beam," "Water Pulse," "Water Blade," and "Surf."

If it were only this level, it could be explained by the fact that the trainer is also a Water-type human, but Link then went on to demonstrate several other type moves, including "Sunny Day".

In the end, the proud Emperor Penguin chick had to admit that the trainers were indeed stronger.

Hmm, thinking about it carefully, only such an outstanding human could be its trainer.

"However, I'm not actually very good at fighting. I only practice moves to make it easier to teach, but even so, I'm not as good as a real water-type Pokémon."

"Once you return to the farm, you can formally learn combat techniques that can only be used by water-type Pokémon from the Water-type Greatsword Ghost."

Upon hearing this, Ergui Peng, who was standing to the side, was a little curious. Although Greatsword was also the final evolution of a Water-type beginner Pokémon, was it the same type as Piplup and Empoleon?

Piplup looks very agile, so why not let it teach combo techniques?
"Well..."

In fact, Emperor Naboo and Claymore are the unfortunate brothers among the three Water-type starter Pokémon.

Samurai has poor speed, average durability, and its physical and special attack are roughly equal. Its ability is also not very useful.

In reality, such comprehensive abilities are actually quite excellent, but there is no particularly outstanding highlight.

Therefore, Link's answer is to focus on swordsmanship as much as possible while ensuring steady growth in strength, and strive to bring out the advantages that his talent cannot show.

He originally thought that the Otter that was mixed with Dark-type Pokémon would evolve into the Emerald form, with its "Sharpness" ability and "Secret Sword: Thousand Waves" combined with its superior agility making it more suitable for offense.

As a result, this water otter from Unova eventually turned into the Unova version of itself... a well-rounded warrior (water bucket) that is relatively focused on special attack but can also withstand attacks.

"But overall, the growth of the Greatsword has exceeded my expectations. The shell, which has been enhanced by attribute energy, is both offensive and defensive, and the blade forged by releasing energy is also an excellent weapon. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has more items than other Pokémon by nature."

Since the real world allows for full agency, there isn't much difference between the Greatsword Demon and the Green Greatsword Demon. Losing the "Secret Sword: Thousand Waves" might actually allow his Greatsword Demon to create other "Secret Swords"?

As for Emperor Naboo, this elf is actually in a better situation than the Greatsword Ghost.

Water and Steel are almost top-tier attributes. They are slightly slower in speed and relatively weak in physical attack, but their special attack and special defense are quite outstanding.

In addition, his ambiguous "unwillingness to admit defeat" or "competitiveness" makes it easy for the mentally sound King Naboo to exceed his usual performance when facing strong opponents.

"So, don't be fooled by its current agility. In the future, it will actually become a steady and resilient special attacker, not very suitable for combo-style or one-hit-style attacks."

"Bonnie~"

Indeed, Erguipeng was speechless. Are all beginner Water-type Pokémon this slow?

"Boga?"

So, does that mean Urgot is a very versatile physical attacker?
Bogarman couldn't tell at all that Evil Creeper was thin and small, only about two-thirds the height of Blazing Roaring Tiger, and didn't look like a strong fighter, but more like a support.

Hearing Bogarman's conclusion based on first impressions, Link chuckled: "It's best not to judge an elf by their appearance. You look small, but you're actually quite powerful, aren't you?"

That’s right!

Bogarman nodded emphatically. Being small does not mean being weak. It is reasonable that the Evil Spirit is very good at fighting!

Even so, Evil Pine appears to be only a Grass-type...

As they were talking, Egui Peng quickly changed into the well mask and took out a thorny vine stick, attaching it to the rushing water.

Then, as if changing its face, it transformed into a stove mask, causing the water to boil and vaporize, igniting a raging flame.

Then, it was replaced with a fairy mask, extinguishing the flames and making the thorny vine stick shine like a magic wand, scattering dazzling dust.

Finally, it was replaced with the Foundation Stone Mask, which allowed the Thorn Vine Staff to condense rock energy into an even larger stone staff, seemingly capable of creating a crater several meters deep in the ground with a single blow. "Poof...poof..."

"Boni?"

Bogarman nodded frantically, his eyes practically sparkling.

It can even use moves of various types, just like a trainer!

This is different from the training it received before!

Can Bogarman also become like the boss of the Evil Phantoms?!
Egui Pong: "?"

"Of course you can. What attribute do you want to become?"

"Boga!"

Just now, the boss lady was all bling-bling and kirakira-like!
"Oh……"

Want to become a fairy?

This kid might actually have some fighting talent!

Fairy Crystal can resist Fighting-type attacks that are weak to Steel, while Regal's Steel type can resist Poison and Steel, which are weak to Fairy, and its Water type is strong against and resists Fairy's Fire.

This has created a situation where water and steel complement each other to some extent.

Of course, using Water Spray directly is also an option. Grab a Water Spray with Intimidate and Rainy Day, and even Pokémon that are resistant to Water will have to take a hit before they can leave!

What?! The opponent is Gastrodon?!

That's okay...

"Ahem, since you're interested in fairy-type creatures, why don't you give it a try?"

As he spoke, Link pulled out the Divine Plan, which he hadn't used in a long time, and used it to transform the bewildered Piplup into a demonic crystal.

As shimmering crystals and shards covered his body, Bogarman was surprised to find that the energy within his body had undergone a strange change!
"Boga?"

It excitedly flapped its wings and leaped up, leaving a long tail trail, before awkwardly crashing to the ground.

No... can't it fly?
Not wanting to be seen by other people or the Pokémon, Piplup lay down on the ground.

"In short, there are indeed ways to temporarily change your attributes, but this will not have a significant impact on your training plan."

Link helped Bogaman up and explained in an easy-to-understand way the breeding plan he had come up with for it over the past half day.

"First, I have to ask you, Piplup, you don't have any aversion to evolution, do you?"

"Poga? Poga Poga!"

It's not that it resists, but rather that it wants to evolve into that noble and majestic form as soon as possible.

"So your training direction is to build a special attacker with 'Trick Room' and 'Rain Dance'. However, it's hard to find the right conditions in singles battles. Therefore, Piplup needs to equip a rotation set with 'U-turn', 'Roost', 'Yawn', and 'Roar'. While making good use of Steel-type bulk, you need to catch those 'Intimidate' users or opponents that can ignite your fighting spirit..."

This is just a basic training program based on comprehensive abilities and attributes.

As for those who develop their special skills, such as the Greatsword Demon's swordsmanship, Link needs to further understand the characteristics, preferences, and the strengths that their race brings that cannot be summarized by numerical values.
