Chapter 36

By instantly releasing Intimidate and Fake Out at the start, Torracat could completely take advantage of the opponent's flinching to complete a 【Bulk Up】 or 【Nasty Plot】 boost.

It could also launch a preemptive attack while the opponent was unable to act, using high-power moves to directly reduce the opponent's stamina.

There are many ways to combine moves and techniques. To be flexible in actual combat, Su Hao also practiced at his father's dojo.

Next was Carbink. Carbink's own strength was already very powerful; this half-month was more about training energy and move control techniques. For this, Su Hao even took Carbink to borrow the Coalossal from his father's team, which had a talent for energy control, for teaching.

Although he didn't focus too much on improving strength, Carbink still broke through to the entry-level Elite-tier in this half-month.

Pokémon: 【Carbink】 【Mutation 35%】

Type: 【Rock, Fairy】

Gender: 【♀】

Ability: 【Clear Body】

Level: 【30】

Item: 【Diancieite】

Moves: 【Tackle, Harden, Dazzling Gleam, Meteor Beam, Reflect, Light Screen, Ancient Power, Power Split, Flail, Power Gem, Smack Down, Stealth Rock, Protect, Safeguard, Power Gem, Moonblast】

Carbink didn't learn many new moves; only Safeguard was learned by her through the system's cultivation function, while the remaining Power Gem and Moonblast were learned by Carbink herself by analogy when using Ancient Power and Dazzling Gleam.

Pokémon in this world, even if their level is not high enough, can learn moves that required 【Elite-level】 or 【Professional-level】 to learn before crossing over through training and talent.

Carbink, having learned Safeguard, now had the capital to resist status-changing moves even if she was slow.

Power Gem was more suited to Carbink's talent than Ancient Power because Carbink was naturally very good at light-based moves.

Compared to Dazzling Gleam's wide-range attack, Moonblast was more like Meteor Beam, specialized for single-point breakthroughs, and its power was quite astonishing.

Nowadays, Carbink was already very relaxed when battling Scyther.

When commanding Carbink, Su Hao was already able to spar with and defeat the mid-to-late Elite-level Pokémon kept by his father in the dojo.

When Su Xu saw with his own eyes his son command Carbink to defeat a mid-Elite-level Torkoal carefully cultivated in his dojo, Su Xu excitedly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "My son has the bearing of an Elite Four member!"

Although it was only defeating a mid-Elite-level Torkoal without a trainer's command, this was something Su Hao had achieved just one month after receiving his starter Pokémon, which in Su Xu's impression was still the first.

Even the geniuses of the Imperial City's Dragon-taming clan and the Magic City's Sea People clan, who were in the same batch as Su Hao, as far as Su Xu knew, only defeated entry-level Elite Pokémon after exhausting all their trump cards and going all out.

Because a few days ago, Su Xu's college roommate from the Dragon-taming clan from his youth was still bragging on a chat app.

Su Xu didn't know what there was to brag about regarding a nephew; after all, his own son had directly taken down a mid-Elite-level Pokémon.

Su father didn't ask if his son had used his full strength; after all, having been a Gym Leader for so many years, he still had an eye for it. It was obvious that Su Hao and Carbink appeared very much at ease. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
