My electronic Pokémon came true?

So this time, after actually seeing the duel between A'du and Dan Emperor in reality, Nan Xian finally realized what a top-level confrontation of tit-for-tat was like.

The two champions' Dynamite showdown was not only like a landslide or tsunami, but when their moves impacted the surrounding energy barriers, the remaining aftershocks were enough to make the audience feel the intensity of the impact.

Especially the VIP viewing seats, which are closest to the battlefield and can even see the full appearance and details of the two Gigantamax Pokémon. While Mudan was still sighing about the situation just now, the girl's attention was diverted for a moment.

……

[You have unlocked the purchase rights for the Move Learning Tool? Air Blade! ]

……

In addition to appreciating the grace of the champions, another important gain for Nan Xian was that he finally unlocked the purchase rights for the move learning device that he had long wanted.

Flying-type move, Air Blade!

The move demonstrated by Dan Di's Charizard in the battle almost completely explained the secret of this move. The air blade that could even split the sky had an invisible and intangible attack, and Nan Xian almost couldn't see the trajectory of the attack.

However, the system still confirmed that Nan Xian had received an advanced demonstration of the Air Blade move at close range, and thus unlocked the purchasing authority in the system.

In this way, the puzzle pieces for Shaymi to become even stronger were finally complete.

Although Nan Xian has not yet found the Gracitia flower and cannot transform Shemi into the sky form with the characteristics of Tianen, Shemi can now start practicing new moves in advance and deploy tactics immediately after the form changes.

——When we get back to the hotel and turn on the simulator, I’ll give Shaymi the task of practicing new moves!

As the girl made up her mind, her thoughts turned to another aspect.

After witnessing the true strength of the champions, Nan Xian felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

She has been making good progress recently, and her consecutive victories over Long Gong, a leader among young people, have proved that Nan Xian’s strength is not inferior to those of her peers. But in fact, the girl will never lower her standards for herself.

After noticing that she could hardly see the trajectory of the champion's moves during the duel, Nan Xian realized that her quality was still not as good as the champion's.

Not only does Pokémon need to be upgraded, Nanxian also needs to go a step further.

Have I been too relaxed during this period of time?

Perhaps because he had developed more uses for the synchronization mode by improving his physical fitness and had defeated his opponent in the battle with Ryugu, Nan Xian believed that he had developed a lazy mentality subconsciously.

If I had just started my journey, there was no way I would easily set my goal to compare with the champions.

The gap between Nan Xian and them is still too big. He has only been in the industry for about half a year. If he wants to challenge the championship, he needs to practice for at least a while longer.

Thinking of this, Nan Xian took out his cell phone.

Although he realized that he still needed to make progress, Nan Xian thought it would be a good idea to make use of the ready-made target to ask for advice. He quickly locked onto the target in the address book and sent a text message.

……

Zhulan was staying in the battle field attached to the hotel.

In order to prepare for the upcoming competitions, all contestants need to adjust their condition and practice, and Zhulan is no exception. Although the battle-hardened Sinnoh champion will not cram at the last minute, daily warm-ups are still necessary.

Today on the battlefield, Zhulan welcomed a long-awaited visitor.

"You want to ask me how to become stronger?"

Zhulan folded her arms and asked back, her smile suddenly becoming a little mischievous.

"I thought you forgot that your sister Zhulan was a champion. How come you only remembered to ask me now?"

You should know that when Nan Xian first debuted and wanted to become a trainer, Zhulan could be said to be the first audience to hear Nan Xian talk about her dream. At that time, she admired the girl's dream, and they exchanged contact information and became friends.

However, it was not until the legendary Pokémon appeared in Yuzu City that Nanxian replicated Featherball and circulated it in several areas, and finally met Zhulan again in Gongmen City in Galar.

During this long period of time, Zhulan never received any request from Nanxian to ask for advice.

——Obviously she had already prepared for this!

Besides being a champion, Zhulan is also a scholar. It is a scholar's instinct to be a teacher. She has long wanted to give some pointers to this seemingly immature girl, but she has never asked any questions, and Zhulan cannot just approach her for no reason.

Thinking of this, there was some resentment in Zhulan's tone.

"So, Nan Xian, what problem did you encounter that made you suddenly want to ask me for advice?"

This sentence is also full of curiosity.

Although she felt a little regretful for not giving enough guidance on Nan Xian's growth path, Zhulan was even more concerned that the girl, who had gradually gotten on the right track and should have found her own direction, had now encountered some unexpected situation and came to her for advice.

“I found myself at a bottleneck.”

Nan Xian spoke truthfully.

In fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to Zhulan's teasing just now. After all, the relationship between her and Nan Xian is more like that of simple and straightforward friends rather than senior and junior.

After checking into the hotel, Nan Xian often received shopping invitations from Zhulan. However, considering her difficulty in making decisions, Nan Xian did not accept every invitation. But he would occasionally accompany Zhulan to buy new clothes.

Therefore, there is no need to consider or hide the problems you encounter on your journey as a trainer.

After Nan Xian realized that there was still a huge gap between himself and the champion-level trainer, he couldn't figure out how to bridge the gap on his own, so he communicated with Zhulan and listened to her advice.

"My personal opinion is that Pokémon only needs to have a solid foundation and the skills to flexibly use their moves when fighting, and then they can cope with most situations."

The girl frowned slightly and shared her views on breeding Pokémon for the first time.

"The current Uruk-York is close to my ideal appearance. However, I watched the battle between Dantei and Adu today, and I found that their Pokémon are not only excellent in basic skills and techniques, but also showed some characteristics that I don't quite understand during the battle."

My talent as a trainer has never been particularly outstanding.

Nan Xian is very open-minded.

You know, there are people like Dante and Nimo in this world. They can either become champions at a very young age, or rely solely on their love for fighting to pass the league test and become champion-level trainers within a year.

To this day, Nan Xian relies on the solid foundation brought by the system points to compete with others. If it weren't for the electronic Pokémon training system, she would never consider becoming a trainer.

But in addition to adding points, the girl will still try hard to think about how to better use the growth brought by the system. Until she encounters a problem that cannot be quickly understood by thinking alone, Nan Xian wants to get the answer from Zhulan.

"What specific traits are you talking about?"

"For example, Mr. Daigo's Metagross."

Nan Xian recalled the giant golden monster he had seen before.

Daigo's Metagross can be said to be the first time that Nanxian witnessed the champion's full-strength attack. Based on the Comet Fist, it combined telekinesis and electromagnetic levitation techniques. The three techniques were combined into one. The pattern drawn by Metagross in the sky was like a meteor, and almost nothing could stop it for a moment.

It was after seeing the Comet Fist that Nan Xian truly understood the importance of proficiency in techniques.

But later, when she put the idea into her own Pokémon, the girl felt a little embarrassed.

"I know it's important to further study the techniques of using moves, but if I really think about it, no matter what kind of moves can be effective in the battle, even if I make a choice, I will still face the problem of Pokémon not having enough energy to practice."

Nan Xian frowned, puzzled.

The girl has resigned herself to the problem of her lack of talent, but whether it is Uruk-York or Jirachi, her Pokémon are all supposed to be geniuses. But if even Uruk-York and Jirachi can't grow quickly to champion level, how did others do it, such as Dantey who became a champion at the age of 10, and Neemo who became a champion-level trainer in just one year?

This was the core of the problem she didn't understand.

"Um……"

Zhulan listened carefully to Nan Xian's doubts and finally understood why she came to find her.

But after a moment, Zhulan, whose thoughts gradually became clearer, suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"—I understand where your problem lies."

When the answer came to her mind, Zhulan shook her head inadvertently.

"Your Pokémon must have had quite powerful abilities when you captured them!"

Whether it is Eruption or Jirachi who was conquered after Eruption.

The Pokémon that Nanxian has captured are far from comparable to the companions that new trainers bring with them when they debut.

Their potential is too strong, and because Nan Xian's own training trajectory is different from that of others, Nan Xian will encounter problems that ordinary people will not encounter, but which confuse her.

"You lack a complete training route."

Zhulan answered in an affirmative tone.

Take the students at Orange College, for example.

When a normal trainer debuts, he should take his equally fledgling partners to challenge various gyms. By verifying his own strength and discovering his weaknesses in the gym challenges, he can make targeted adjustments and become stronger.

In such a training route, trainers can think about their own strengths and weaknesses from the very beginning, so as to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. After one or more years of training, trainers can gradually develop a mature tactical system.

The problem Nan Xian is facing now is that her Pokémon are too strong. Many times she doesn’t need to consider any tactics. She can defeat 90% of trainers just by rushing.

And that minority, the one percent, are the champions that Nan Xian wants to surpass now. They are not the small characters that Nan Xian can defeat by just being reckless. So after discovering the problem, the girl who lacks tactics will feel confused.

"After all, studying some moves is also to serve a mature tactical system."

Zhulan spoke earnestly and sincerely, and it was a rare opportunity for her to give Nanxian advice as a senior. This sentence also solved a problem that had puzzled Nanxian until now.

It's not about implementing tactics because you are good at the moves, but about practicing moves in a targeted manner if you want to implement tactics.

Just looking at the proficiency in moves, the top trainers are more likely to be on par with each other. But even if they are equal opponents, Adu still lost to Dandi in today's battle.

——The biggest reason is that Dantei's Pokémon is better at fighting in the Gigantamax form. He fully utilizes his advantages and can easily defeat Adu who is not good at Gigantamax.

Tactical victories often take precedence over advantages at the level of detail.

"So, I should amplify my Pokémon's best qualities instead of focusing too much on the details."

Under Zhulan's encouraging gaze, Nan Xian slowly stated his conclusion.

"Just like Jirachi's characteristic is Heaven's Grace, I need to magnify the advantages of Heaven's Grace instead of worrying about how to make a move better."

This was a tactic that Nan Xian had already understood.

But because such tactics were taken for granted, Nan Xian even forgot that when she skillfully applied the tactics she had already learned to Jirachi, she had not yet considered that the other Pokémon had not yet determined a complete strategy.

In other words, I have thought about it a little, but not much.

Nan Xian frowned, reflecting on his omissions during this period, and then recalled the prompts that the system had given long ago.

Apart from Jirachi, Nanxian's most important partner is Ermione.

As a Pokémon in development, the system will give various development tasks based on the status of the Pokémon in development. The two most recent tasks for Uruk-O are to master the power of green grass with the Green Grass Mask and to master the power of the well with the Well Mask.

The changes in appearance under each mask are the core tactics of Eruption?

This thought only flashed through Nan Xian's mind for a moment before she rejected it in her thinking.

Making the same mistake once was already enough. Nan Xian's sight penetrated the fog and saw the essence of the problem.

The four masks of the Masked Pokémon, Eruption, are the source of its abilities, but if we trace the source to a more substantial level, we will find that the essence of the four masks is the Taicrystals inlaid on them.

A flash of inspiration penetrated her thoughts, and the girl's eyes lit up faintly. She had figured out her future path.

“…It’s too crystallized!”

Nan Xian spoke seriously, causing Zhu Lan to swallow the words she was about to say.

"The power of Erguiyan is derived from Taijing. If you want Erguiyan to truly exert its power, you must formulate tactics based on Taijing!"

Due to the limitations of the surrounding environment, except for the Padia area, Eruption needs to use the mask as a short-term consumable if he wants to use Tai Crystallization.

According to this theory, only in the Padia region can Eruption be considered in its complete form. Outside of Padia, it is no wonder that Nan Xian could not remember Eruption's true abilities for a while.

But this omission also exists because the Erkuei does not need to be too crystallized to be powerful enough.

Just by relying on the switching of the four masks and the powerful thorn vine stick moves, Eruption can easily defeat 99% of opponents. Why would he need to use Tai Crystalization?

But precisely because of this, Nan Xian needs to consider more.

——If he could stabilize the crystallization of Ergui Yan, wouldn't it be able to go a step further and have strength far beyond its current level?

This is the answer to how to break the bottleneck.

To be honest, ever since Uruk-Yo's level broke through 30 and Jirachi was captured, Nan Xian has been having trouble finding a direction to make progress.

Although Pokémon is getting stronger little by little, the problems it faces are getting more serious.

Apart from the predicament of being watched by Giratina and suddenly receiving a mission from Invincible, all these circumstances indicated to Nan Xian that she needed to gain further strength.

"I think I know the answer!"

"..."

On the side, Zhulan, who still had a lot to say in her heart, fell silent as she listened to Nan Xian talking to himself.

——What do you understand? Do you understand?

What Zhulan said just now was just the beginning.
