Most cannot distinguish Physical Attack from Special Attack, though a few can—like Team Rocket’s Cacnea, which chooses different defenses based on the opponent’s attack type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I’ll need to find some unique wood and carve more statues.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Old wood allows only one wish per Pokémon type—that means even if I carve new statues, I can’t wish again unless I use different wood.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'And since the first boost was Attack individual value, wouldn’t it be better to pursue the Hisuian form?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack individual value reached its peak, but Lianbai Gen Wa’s base Attack is very low; only by evolving into Mountain Path Queen—the Hisuian form of Skitty—can it gain powerful Attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in terms of moves, stats, and versatility, Hisuian Skitty is far stronger than the original form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That’s right—to reclaim its habitat, it must evolve into a powerful form.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As for Abilities, I can use items to change them; though I don’t have them yet, there’s no rush.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai~'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianbai Gen Wa noticed Guang Tai’s expression shift from joy to furrowed brows, unsure what had happened, but she felt her power had surged dramatically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was astonishing! Yet when she touched the carving again or tried to wish a second time, it gave no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Guang Tai again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai? (︵)?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she wished for the wrong thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianbai Gen Wa was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the wish was complete, the ancient power within the carving was exhausted—it could only be sold for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Perhaps wood from special forests—like Oakgrove, Evergreen Forest, or Lianru Forest—could produce carvings with stronger effects.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai glanced at Lianbai Gen Wa; she and Doujianshao were hovering near the carving, poking it curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, Doujianshao needs one too—but its pattern is too complex, and Guang Tai still hated the hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before wishing for Doujianshao, he’d need to explain which stats matter most and which can be weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I find stronger special wood for carving, could I boost two, three, or even all individual stats to maximum at once?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Extreme Training is a mechanic exclusive to games; the Alola region in reality likely has no such thing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his carvings were equivalent to Extreme Training and Silver Crown combined?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this thing could sell very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most Trainers probably don’t know about individual values—since even Pokédexes can’t read them, and the anime never explicitly showed them—there are subtle hints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Ash’s Infernape, when still a Charmander, displayed terrifying fire power due to its ability Blaze—that’s precisely why Ash’s rival, Shinji, noticed and captured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s likely Ash’s Charmander already had maximum Attack and Special Attack individual values as a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful individual, paired with a powerful ability, manifests extraordinary strength—then, combined with limitless effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, reality can’t be fully mapped to the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai~'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yup! Omu!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianbai Gen Wa and Doujianshao’s voices pulled Guang Tai back to reality; seeing their uneasy expressions, he quickly knelt down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sorry, sorry, I just got distracted.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai~!' Lianbai Gen Wa pressed—was it about the carving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The carving… it was a lucky accident. I’m not angry—I’m actually excited you’ve grown stronger.' Guang Tai stroked her leaves, encouraging her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You’ll grow stronger, and fulfill your own wish. Of course, I need rewards too—and the stronger you become, the greater my reward.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let’s work hard together.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai! Wawa!

Even stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this surge of emotion, the leaves on Lianbai Gen Wa’s head suddenly glowed; she recalled the brilliant sunlight concentrated by the carving—something within her body stirred awake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun in the sky blazed brightly; after rain, the grass and trees grew lush and vigorous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bai!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianbai Gen Wa suddenly shouted toward the sky—and then, intense sunlight gathered above her head, forming a blazing radiance like a miniature sun, or a curtain of light, replaying the moment the carving unleashed its power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight grew stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the move 'Sunny Day'!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately after, the sunlight continued to concentrate above Lianbai Gen Wa’s head, forming a scorching solar halo that enveloped her, while Guang Tai and Doujianshao stepped back, watching intently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense light gathered steadily, building up over time—then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a violent burst, it exploded into a massive beam shooting toward the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lianbai Gen Wa had learned the move 'Solar Beam'!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sunny Day and Solar Beam are linked; Pokémon that master both usually learn Sunny Day first, then automatically learn Solar Beam—but not the reverse!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The surge in individual values allowed her to unlock extraordinary power—but even though Attack individual value increased, how could she learn a Special Attack move? Or had her accumulated effort already been sufficient, and this was merely a release?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Years of battle built up effort values, and this fertile land helped her too.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai looked around his herb garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was knowledge + sweat, plus a little catalyst from items, that led to this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But another Pokémon had watched it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen Lianbai Gen Wa learn Sunny Day and Solar Beam through work and training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the workshop roof, a Pokémon with grass-green skin and tiny wings appeared—she emerged silently, flapping her wings, releasing ripples of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shi?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She giggled.
