Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Not to mention that it can be considered an Electric-type move for coverage.

Another technique fruit, freeze-dried.

Although it doesn't have the same tactical significance as the Volt replacement, it can still be used as a trump card.

In particular, very few Pokémon can master this move, only a dozen or so, and some can only learn it through inheritance.

Moreover, the Pokémon that can learn are all Ice-type Pokémon, excluding Sylveon and Milotic.

Therefore, freeze drying plays an even greater role in this situation.

Imagine a Swampert, King Toad, or even a Gastrodon with the Water Absorb ability standing arrogantly in front of Milotic, thinking its opponent can't do anything against a creature four times weak to Grass...

*Snap*, a freeze-dried product with four times the restraint.

Surprise, not unexpected?

…………

After figuring out the effects of the moves, the next step is naturally to distribute the fruits.

First is this bright yellow vodka substitute fruit.

Zoroa and Doraemon can learn the same Quick Return technique, so there's no need to waste this precious move fruit.

The opportunity naturally fell to Sylveon, Milotic, and Gardevoir.

Sylvanas also withdrew from the competition because she had obtained the Earth Power Fruit first last time.

After some discussion, Gardevoir and Milotic decided to replace Gardevoir with voltaic and Milotic with freeze-dried.

The main consideration is that Milotic has higher durability and is less likely to switch out, while Gardevoir, with Volt Switch, can better utilize its agility.

As for the move [Poison Jab]... it was disliked by everyone because its coverage was too narrow, and was eventually given to Dragapult, the only physical attacker in the team.

As for moves, having more skills is never a bad thing. If Little Dragon learns them, it can even fight against Fairy-type Pokémon that are super effective against it, right?

After distributing the fruit according to need and quantity, the elves turned their inquiring gazes to Doronmesia.

Little Dragon understood.

He blinked his bright yellow, light bulb-like, goofy eyes and proudly took out the synthetic compound he had experimented with recently, which he found to be useful.

Although the companions didn't outwardly show any disdain for the items they took out last time, the fact that they didn't choose any of them except for the power-enhancing potions was enough to say everything.

For the past three months, he has devoted himself to research and experimentation, all for the sake of stunning everyone on this day!

Dorronmesia first pointed to the first composite, a strange-looking thing that resembled both a forced exerciser and some spoon elements.

"Messi—(This is a combination of two items I found in the storage room, called [Superpower Restraint Device]. It automatically applies superpowers to the forced training device. Wearing it provides excellent training results and is very convenient and practical.)"

…………

The elves nodded gently; this time, Little Dragon's invention seemed quite reliable.

They were also aware of the raw materials for this compound; they were all prizes that Xia Chen had won at a school event last October when he was still in high school.

The spoon from the Gym Leader Alakazam was used to introduce Ralts to psychic abilities when it was just born, and the Forced Training Device accompanied Eevee and Feebas for a long time as they grew up.

As they evolved one by one, these training tools suitable for young Pokémon were left to gather dust in the storeroom.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Duolong was able to turn the impossible into the possible, combining these two completely unrelated items into a training tool that had never been seen before on the market.

Xianbu first gave Xiaoduolong an approving look, affirming his abilities.

This little guy is amazing!

Feeling the approving looks from his companions, Xiao Duolong proudly put the thing on his head, ready to show them how to use it.

But then the ring, made of a curved spoon and a forced exerciser, slid down and wrapped around the thin neck of the little dragon's airplane head.

Then the superpower in the bent spoon was released, and the exerciser quickly tightened, binding Little Dragon like an electronic collar, making him unable to move.

Doronmesia, who was floating in the air, immediately fell and crashed to the ground. He twitched his body, trying to break free, but found that the "compulsive" nature of this thing was now in effect. A powerful energy was released from the spoon, binding him tightly.

Unable to escape, Dorgonmesia could only wriggle on the ground like an eel, staring with wide eyes at his silent companions for help.

The air fell silent and awkward for a moment.

Xianbu rolled his eyes in exasperation.

That was hasty; it was too early.

It should be that this kid is quite cunning.

It's a real shame this thing isn't used as a torture device to torment prisoners...

…………

After a while, the elves finally freed Doromecia from the powerful psychic restraints.

Having regained his freedom, Dorgonmesia kept his head down, feeling utterly hopeless and wishing he could immediately use his stealth attack to hide in a spatial rift and never come out again.

Seeing this, Xianbu retracted the "How about we call it quits?" that was already on the tip of his tongue, and instead offered encouragement.

"Buyi! (Keep it up, you'll definitely succeed next time!)"

Young dragons still need more encouragement...

Gardevoir comforted her, saying, "Gardevoir~ (Let's see what else you've done~)"

The encouragement from his friends saved a lost soul.

Little Dragon hesitated for a moment, then took out something that looked like an attribute gem.

"Messi—(This is a [Psychic/Fairy Gem] synthesized using a Psychic Gem and a Fairy Gem. It might... be suitable for Gardevoir.)"

The series of failures made the child lose confidence, and he started to stutter when he spoke, even using words like "maybe".

Gardevoir curiously took the strangely colored and mysterious gem, carefully examined it, and sensed its aura. Then, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

This is really a suitable breeding tool for me!

These are normal synthetic compounds!

Gardevoir smiled and patted Dorromesia's pompadour.

"Sa-nai~ (Thank you, little Do-long~)"

Doron Messiah doesn't really like the nickname "Little Doron," even though he's older than his friends.

But Dorgonmesia, having already sent out the first composite, no longer cared.

He happily twirled in the air and replied, "Messi~ (You're welcome~)"

This compound was inspired by the essence of Reginaldrag and the scales of Giratina that he had synthesized.

To be honest, although it is just a simple combination of two types of gems, it can greatly improve the absorption efficiency of the spirit.

For example, Gardevoir has both Fairy and Psychic attributes. To increase the energy of both attributes simultaneously, it needs to absorb the corresponding attribute gems.

With this attribute, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort when synthesizing gems.

Milotic and Zorua also realized this, and both came to reserve their own exclusive attribute synthesis gems.

Dorgonmesia was overjoyed to find his invention so popular for the first time, and he granted all his friends' requests.

He turned to look at the unborn GooBaby, then flew over to the egg and said earnestly, "Messi~ (Don't worry, you'll get one too~)"

The fairy egg swayed gently, as if expressing its happiness.

At that moment, the kitchen door opened, and Xia Chen came out carrying two plates of food.

Seeing the warm and harmonious atmosphere among the elves in the living room, he smiled and said, "What are you all talking about? Dinner is ready."

"Bu Yi (Under special circumstances, the meeting is adjourned.)"

After speaking in a low voice, Xianbu then ran into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

The elves' second secret meeting thus came to a successful yet sudden end.

…………

With only two days left before the start of the qualifiers, Xia Chen made a breakthrough in his match against Hu Yang.

Although they still couldn't win, the score between them had narrowed from 3:1 to 3:2.

If we use the poplar trees as the standard for the top four in the competition, it means that Xia Chen is one step closer to the championship.

As for why there was such great progress in just a few days, it's because Xia Chen's three main Pokémon have "unnaturally" improved in strength again.

Xia Chen, who was already used to it, was not surprised by this.

While Hu Yang was happy for Xia Chen's progress, he was also a little puzzled as to why his elves had suddenly become so much stronger.

In response, Xia Chen shrugged and replied, "Otherwise, why do you think I'd be here to compete right now?"

Hu Yang fell silent for a moment before realizing that this guy was three years younger than him.

Having always been at the top of the Versailles chain, he was thoroughly outmaneuvered by Xia Chen today, leaving him with a rather complicated feeling.

The surprises the Pokémon brought to Xia Chen were not over yet. On the last day before the start of the qualifiers, Milotic and Gardevoir were playing an intra-team training match in the battle arena in their dormitory when they "accidentally" used Freeze-Dry and Volt Switch.

This silenced Xia Chen, who was watching from the sidelines.

But the silence only lasted a short while. Xia Chen, who had excellent self-regulation skills, quickly convinced himself to accept the fact.

He looked at the innocent-looking little fox beside him and immediately understood the origin of this illegal technique, which was probably similar to the meditation fruit he had eaten.

Xia Chen picked up Soroya and rubbed her face, saying helplessly, "You always manage to come up with something new!"

The little fox chuckled foolishly, taking it as Xia Chen praising him.

Regardless, it's a good thing that Milotic and Gardevoir have mastered these two highly practical moves.

This means that you have one more card to play.

As for whether the "illegal" move will lead to a loss for the referee?

Stop kidding. In the real world, as long as your Pokémon can use it, even if your Gyarados uses the finishing touch, it will definitely be met with cheers and amazement.

At most, there will only be envious people who want to know how you learned it.

Reporting and banning because you feel it's too unfair or unreasonable?

Even without Xia Chen's response, plenty of people would speak up for him, saying, "If you're unhappy, don't come here!"

Game battles require fairness and balance, but real-world battles do not.
