Chapter 455: Power of Meditation

Seeing this reward, All Baimu felt a rush of heat enter his brain for a moment.

His breathing became heavy!

Legendary Pokémon! Divine beast!

Even if there is no shortage of Tier 2 gods under 600 species strength captured by various Trainers in the anime, its preciousness is enough to make his heart surge and be unable to restrain himself.

Just like when he met Raikou.

The Champion Cup Final Four in the Galar region actually has such a reward. The orange talent actually gave him such a surprise. All Baimu felt his hands were a bit numb.

"Happy?"

A soft call sounded.

"Hmm, I'm very happy now... hmm?"

He looked sideways and saw Blissey come to his side at some point, looking up at him with a face full of worry.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" All Baimu's gaze swept across the surroundings, seeing other Pokémon also showing expressions of confusion or worry, so he poked Blissey's forehead with his index finger. "Nothing's wrong, just excited from reading."

Hearing him say this, the group of Pokémon felt relieved. Influenced by the atmosphere, the Dragapult siblings hugging each other and shivering, and the Dragapult hiding in the dark, also breathed a sigh of relief.

And after the group of Pokémon recovered their composure, All Baimu's excited brain also cooled down rapidly.

He looked at the clue reward, and suddenly found a difference—

The term 【Capturable】 was not displayed.

You must know that previous clue rewards would mention that it was a clue to a certain capturable Pokémon. The current reward 2 didn't mention this, and even the type seemed to be random.

Hmm...

What does it mean? Is it possible to encounter a Legendary Pokémon that has already been captured or cannot be captured, similar to the three legendary birds of the Orange Islands?

Tier 2 gods in the anime are generally plural existences, and some of them are closely related to the world for various reasons. Even if you meet them, you can't capture them. Once captured, the world will be destroyed.

It seems that when this thing should be used and how it should be used must be carefully considered.

All Baimu exhaled a turbid breath and looked back at reward 1. The limit of level 90 made him laugh out loud involuntarily. The limit level growth of the simulator seems to be 20 levels by 20 levels. But to be honest, if you cultivate a Pokémon to level 90, it should be considered the highest batch among Champions, right?

Of course.

Level is one thing, and the growth of various ability values similar to effort values is another thing.

He naturally intends to save such a high reward and use it when the Pokémon are around level 70, which is really not worth it. At least wait until the Pokémon are above level 80 before using it, which will be relatively less of a loss.

It's just unclear whether the orange talent is a fixed output or a matter of luck. 【455

All Baimu quickly selected rewards one, two, and three, his gaze landing on the fixed rewards at the very top; he first glanced at the psychic's row, then at the Hypno's row.

Rewards from tournament champions and above would all add "skills" that the simulated target's ace Pokémon knew.

The calligrapher's Smeargle gave Sketch, the musician's Jigglypuff gave Hyper Voice, and Hypno... damn it, it was actually Fighting-type move specialization.

It would be a huge loss if it wasn't Hypnosis memory!

All Baimu complained to himself, thinking that if he could learn Fighting moves according to Hypno's memory, then he would surely be one step closer to becoming a human-shaped Pokémon.

He put down the book, walked over to Mawile, who was lowering its head to watch a TV show, and placed his hand on the latter's head.

"Maw-?"

Mawile twisted its head in dissatisfaction, raising its chin with a look of disgust that said "don't act crazy here," but when it felt the new power surging within its body, the joy was evident on its face, "Maw~"

Its tone instantly softened along with it.

"You guy." All Baimu pinched its cheeks, caught between laughter and tears.

Using people and then casting them aside, its speed of changing faces was comparable to flipping a book; if he didn't know Mawile's true nature, he would probably be quite angry.

Mawile didn't care about its Trainer's words at all, carefully putting down its phone and walking outdoors—it had felt terrible when it accidentally dropped it on the ground and the screen cracked last time; fortunately, it was only the tempered glass film that was damaged.

Balcony.

Aggron and Milotic were watching the sea when suddenly their claws were tapped by Mawile.

"Maw~!"

"Guh-roar..."

The big monster stood up helplessly, knowing that this fellow had learned a new skill again and wanted to use it as a test subject.

There was nothing to say; a Pokémon that could take a beating should naturally take a few more punches. Pain was pain, but it could truly significantly improve defensive ability and the willpower to endure damage.

Milotic curled up excitedly, looking like a pile of off-white poop.

Its Trainer had been asking it to do this recently, saying that after forming a habit, it would likely be able to learn a move called 【Coil】, which would be very helpful to it.

On the beach.

Steelix had already returned to Iron Town, so only Aggron and Mawile were present.

The two were ten meters apart.

"Maw~~?"

"Guh-roar!"

Aggron raised its claws in response, signaling that it was ready.

Seeing this, Mawile immediately stomped hard on the sandy ground with its right foot, rushing toward Aggron like an arrow released from a bowstring. A smear of white light quickly gathered on its retracted right fist, and the moment it arrived at the sprint, it threw a punch—

Pop!

Aggron, fully focused on defense, lowered its head and looked curiously at the glowing fist between its chest and abdomen.

How come it didn't hurt or itch?

What about the energy impact?

Only Mawile, who released the move, knew that its right fist was still in the middle of charging; why did this move have such a long wind-up!

"Focus Punch is just that kind of move; it needs a certain amount of time to charge before the move can be fully released, and the energy power reaches its highest point."

All Baimu's voice entered Mawile's ears.

The moment the voice fell, its white-glowing right fist gathered into a shining brownish-red, and intense energy fluctuations were produced, gushing out like the exhaust flame of a rocket with a rumbling sound.

Mawile was startled, retracted its fist, and then swung it out!

Boom!

The scorching red energy exploded, and Aggron roared as its massive body shifted back several meters, leaving a deep gully across the entire beach.

"Guh-roar~"

Aggron clutched its belly, which had obvious signs of impact, and looked helplessly at Mawile; why did it still resort to a sneak attack?

It was fortunate that it could hold up.

"Maw~"

Mawile was a bit excited; although this move indeed had an outrageously long wind-up, its power was strong! Didn't you see Aggron being knocked back?

If it were any other Pokémon that wasn't heavy, it would definitely fly away with one punch!

"You should adapt more; over time, the wind-up can also be shortened." All Baimu was also very satisfied with Focus Punch; the disadvantage of being fixed for one turn in the game was too great, but in the anime, it was fine if it could be shortened through training.

Ash's Aipom was very good at using Focus Punch with the hand on its tail, and the charging time wasn't long either.

——

Night.

All Baimu stared at the ceiling, and after some thought, he clicked into the psychic's psychic training memory.

When he looked at the simulation content earlier, he was very curious about how the latter, relying solely on physical training, made his psychic powers go from not even being able to bend a spoon to being able to twist a spoon into a twist, or even teleport.

The summary chapter provided by the reward might bring the answer.

Thinking this way, he had already stepped peacefully into his dreams, but unlike normal dreams, the dream of browsing memories belonged to the kind of "lucid dream" where he knew he was dreaming, which wouldn't cause him to have the illusion of confusing himself with the simulation target.

It was just that browsing memories couldn't manipulate the content; he could only act like a robot, following the steps and doing exactly as told.

And the beginning part of the psychic's training memory was the same as the simulation content, purely just doing a series of physical exercises like running, swimming, and burpees, with the focus being on the intervals between training.

Whenever a project was finished, the psychic would sit cross-legged on the ground with Hypno and start meditating.

The memory had no narration, which led All Baimu to not know what the psychic was doing at first; it wasn't until his own mind calmed down along with the psychic's movements that he got the answer.

A strange feeling also welled up spontaneously.

All Baimu found it difficult to describe the feeling he experienced; if he had to say, he in meditation was like a lonely boat struggling forward in the surging sea with Hypno, and when the rain cleared and the sky turned sunny, he woke up, and the fatigue on his body quietly dissipated.

And time had only passed for a minute or two.

It was 【Meditate】!

He finally knew the source of the psychic's psychic power improvement; this guy mastered the ability of meditation with Hypno during the process of physical training, just like those cultivators sitting in meditation in fantasy novels.

It was just that meditation didn't pay attention to breathing in spiritual energy or anything else; it was purely using the fatigue of the body to oppress the spirit, making the spirit polished to feed back the body to achieve the purpose of recuperation, and the spirit would also grow during the process of being polished—

Aura?

All Baimu remembered that Aura could also be trained; in the theatrical version, Riley had taught Lucario how to use Aura and train Aura.

Hmm... it seemed that to learn this kind of training technique of the psychic, one needed a psychic Pokémon to cooperate.

He discovered that every time the psychic meditated, it was done together with Hypno, and he had never meditated alone once; looking at it this way, the power of Pokémon was also very important.

"There isn't much content in the Dragon Heart that can be used..."

All Baimu opened his eyes, and the moonlight outside the window spilled onto his face through the screen window; the gentle touch couldn't stop him from letting out a sigh.

The principle of the Dragon Heart came from the vision of wanting to communicate with Dragon-type Pokémon, which was different from the psychic's training method; the only thing that could be substituted might be the process of mutually transmitting spirits during meditation together.

He turned his head and reached out his hand, and sure enough, he touched something hard in the air by the bed.

Moonlight flowed.

Dragapult, lying by the bed, appeared, with surprise in its thin triangular eyes, as well as curiosity written all over its face.

It couldn't understand how All Baimu discovered it; by smell?

"If this continues, I can succeed without the Dragon Heart; what's the use of the Dragon Heart then." All Baimu didn't know what Dragapult was thinking, just complaining to himself.

Being able to discover Dragapult in stealth was all thanks to the hazy feeling in his heart; he couldn't say what it was, but after testing it again and again, the accuracy seemed quite high.

Sixth sense?

Heaven knows.

"Let's sleep." All Baimu lowered his voice, his palm gently stroking Dragapult's head; the latter shrank back, its gaze sweeping over the sleeping Pokémon around, and its heart suddenly calmed down.

It wasn't good at doing anything in front of other Pokémon, but if they were already asleep, its courage would inexplicably grow.

Don't know why.

And this also led to it often being active at night in recent days; if All Baimu let it out when he was sleepy during the day, it would secretly hook the corner of the latter's clothes with its tail while in stealth, making him carry it along.

After falling into a deep sleep, it wasn't so easy to wake up.

This was also the main reason why All Baimu occasionally called for a long time without seeing Dragapult show up; it hadn't slipped away somewhere, just hiding behind him taking a nap and hadn't woken up yet.

"Droo..."

It watched All Baimu close his eyes, hid its figure again but remained in place, secretly hooking the latter's cuff with the tip of its tail that seemed about to disappear.

A night owl, but with nothing it wanted to do.

The next day.

During the routine morning exercise, the Shiny Milotic, as the team's successor, brought a surprise.

"Success, this is Mirror Coat."

All Baimu squatted in front of Milotic, his hand reaching toward the gorgeous wall emitting colorful light spots, but the latter seemed to have no substance, and his arm passed through easily.

If it were Aggron's Flamethrower, it would be reflected back with doubled flames after pouring into it.

【The current app for listening to books is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 timbres, and supports offline reading as a source-changing artifact, huanyuanapp source-changing app】

But don't look at the flame appearance brought by Mirror Coat being the same as Flamethrower; it was actually an energy construct of the damage Milotic received, which wasn't consistent with real flames.

"Not bad."

He nodded very satisfied, and Milotic also happily flicked its tail.

This was the second move it learned autonomously since it evolved; the first was 【Safeguard】, which could prevent itself from falling into an abnormal state, and the special effects were quite gorgeous.

When All Baimu saw it, he thought no wonder so many Coordinator Trainers with Milotic loved to take this move out for connection.

As for whether it was easy to use...

His evaluation was that it wasn't as good as Refresh.

All Baimu turned around and touched the smoke-like tentacles of the Galarian Corsola, "You've worked hard too."

Corsola glanced at him without responding.

If it were anyone else touching its tentacles as a soul body like this, it would have already sucked on them; it was just that it couldn't suck on its Trainer, as there would be big trouble if it did.

It chose to act as if nothing happened.

As the source of the move 【Mirror Coat】, it startled the Hydreigon that was battling it at the time when it suddenly learned it last week, because the reflected "Dragon Pulse" almost knocked Hydreigon down.

But Corsola, who had mastered new power, wasn't happy; it knew that the stronger it became, the stronger the opponents it would encounter, and the more tiring the battles would be.

Was this a good thing?

Depends on who it was.

All Baimu was quite happy anyway; after all, Corsola had learned it, and for him, who held the Mimic Herb, it was equivalent to Milotic having learned it too.

It didn't disappoint him.

After working hard for more than a week, Milotic successfully relied on the Mimic Herb to learn this 【Mirror Coat】, which originally belonged to an egg move, taking a big step forward toward being a special tank.

When Milotic learned Recover and Coil, the ultimate Milotic would be completely formed.
