Pokémon: A Trainer Who Masters the Six Powers from the Start

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Evolution on the Horizon



"Bellossom, Faux Leaf Storm!"

Ever since acquiring more data and knowledge, Ron learned that powerful trainers often train their Pokémon to combine multiple moves, creating an even stronger force.

Over time, the League naturally concluded which moves could be effectively combined to maximize power, and how to combine them.

However, this knowledge wasn't something Ron had access to just yet. He had to rely on his own experimentation.

Thanks to his combat prowess and experience across two lifetimes, he had devised several effective move combinations.

For instance, Bellossom's current use of a Faux Leaf Storm combined Magical Leaf and Razor Leaf into a single technique.

Leveraging Bellossom's exceptional control, the green leaves interspersed with spinning blades created a visual effect rivaling the real Leaf Storm.

At least, that's how it appeared to Sandslash, Bellossom's opponent, who quickly attempted to escape by using Dig. Little did Sandslash realize, it had fallen perfectly into Bellossom's trap.

Focusing on the hole left by Sandslash, Bellossom directed its Faux Leaf Storm into the tunnel, executing a "closing-the-door" tactic.

The next moment, shards of green leaves burst through the ground, forcing Sandslash out, its body tangled in the Faux Leaf Storm.

Before it could land, Sandslash was already out of commission.

After defeating Sandslash, Bellossom's level stabilized at 36, marking the end of its training. It was now time to focus on Nidorino and Ralts.

Nidorino, unlike Persian, had a bulkier physique. This meant that no matter how much effort it put in, it would be challenging for Nidorino to master a simplified or complete version of Shave, a speed technique.

Thus, Ron decided it was time to move forward with Nidorino's evolution. With a Moon Stone already in hand, Ron could evolve Nidorino whenever it proved itself.

Once it evolved into Nidoking, even though its body would grow larger, its ability to learn Shave and even Moonwalk would improve significantly.

Imagine a Nidoking, unleashing relentless firepower and soaring through the air—its mere presence would be awe-inspiring, let alone the devastating power of its moves.

For Nidorino's long-term development, Ron resolved to evolve it before it reached elite-level power, avoiding any rush for the sake of showing off.

As for Ralts, there was no urgency.

Psychic-type Pokémon require not only ample battles, extensive training, and energy accumulation but also mastery over their psychic abilities.

To support Ralts, Ron had previously acquired the Calm Mind move, which could help it enhance its psychic powers.

Calm Mind not only boosts a Pokémon's Special Attack and Special Defense during battles but also allows Psychic Pokémon to refine and strengthen their abilities through meditative practice.

For now, Ron's primary expectation for Ralts was to use Teleport effectively to ensure safety. With other powerful teammates around, Ralts could take its time to lay a solid foundation.

Having determined his next steps, Ron shifted the training focus to Nidorino.

Since Ralts joined the team, Nidorino had taken on the role of an elder sibling. It couldn't bear the thought of being surpassed in strength by Ralts.

As Ralts grew stronger, narrowing the gap between them, Nidorino decided it was time for an intense push to improve itself.

Despite spending time assisting Machamp and others in leveling up earlier, Nidorino had waited patiently. Now that it was its turn, Nidorino was brimming with energy.

Seeing this, Ron was more than happy to grant Nidorino's wish.

"Persian, scout for wild Pokémon and see if any groups are nearby."

Receiving Ron's command, Persian cast a slightly pitying glance at Nidorino.

"You're so eager now, huh? You'll see what's coming."

To quickly locate Pokémon on par with Nidorino, Machamp and others restrained their auras.

Persian's hunting skills had sharpened through countless ambushes and chases, utilizing keen senses of smell, hearing, and sight, alongside meticulous observation of tracks.

In just ten minutes, Persian detected signs of Pokémon activity.

Compared to stronger Pokémon, those frequently foraging or battling were much easier to track.

Perhaps luck was on Nidorino's side; the first Pokémon Persian located was a Beedrill, perfectly aligned with Ron's requirements.

"Go, Nidorino! Aim for Beedrill's wings with Poison Sting!"

Following Ron's order, Nidorino charged forward.

Glowing purple needles shot out, forming two waves aimed directly at Beedrill's wings.

Startled mid-honey collection, Beedrill reacted quickly, flapping its wings to gain altitude and dodge the attack.

However, Nidorino had the advantage, and some of the Poison Sting struck Beedrill's wings.

Distracted by the pain, Beedrill momentarily faltered and began screeching, summoning nearby allies.

"Don't give it time to recover! Use Flamethrower!"

During team training sessions, all Pokémon had worked hard to master their moves, with Nidorino and Ralts dedicating the most time.

By now, Nidorino had almost perfected its newly learned moves, including Flamethrower.

Blistering flames engulfed Beedrill, forcing it out of its pain-induced stupor. It quickly used Drill Run, one of its inherited moves, to minimize the damage from Flamethrower.

As the flames subsided, a bolt of orange-yellow electricity shot down from above, striking Beedrill directly.

Overwhelmed by the shock, Beedrill could do nothing but endure as the full force of Thunderbolt coursed through its body.

When the attack ended, Beedrill's lifeless form fell to the ground—just as two other Beedrill arrived.

Spotting Nidorino, who had used Thunderbolt, the two Beedrill attacked from opposite sides with Twineedle.

"Nidorino, your long-awaited intense battle is here! Ready yourself!"

With a growl, electricity sparked around Nidorino's horn, its actions speaking louder than words.

Bright electric light illuminated the area, signaling the start of another fierce battle!
