Not long after,

Bruce and Surge reached no man's land.

"Try it again," Bruce said to Metang.

"Metang!!"

Metang stared, and once more gathered the electric shield around its entire body.

Bruce squinted, watching closely, then said, "Try to release it."

"Metang!"

Metang growled softly, and the current shield quickly transformed into dazzling bolts of electricity, spreading in all directions, as the intense current flooded the entire area with Metang at its center.

"Is this... Discharge?"

Watching the scene, Surge frowned, looking puzzled.

This attack style was very similar to Discharge, but its power and destructive force were much greater.

Just as Bruce had guessed before, Metang could absorb electricity into its body and then release it.

The first manifestation was the Current Shield, which had a certain defensive effect.

The second was Discharge, where lightning covered the entire field, categorized as a type of Beat-Up strike skill.

Numerous thoughts swirled in Bruce's mind, and he immediately looked at Metang and said, "Can you use it again?"

Metang tried, then shook its head.

Bruce nodded slightly and said to Metang, "Let me know when you can use it again."

"Metang!"

Metang nodded.

After waiting in place for about an hour, Metang used the Current Shield and Discharge again, with no loss in power.

"An hour of cooldown?"

"So, in a battle, this move can only be used once."

"Well, yes, this move is a bit overpowered; if it could be used repeatedly in a short period, it would be too intimidating," Bruce thought to himself.

"And the most important point is, since these powers are stored within Metang, how long can they last?"

"If the energy within the body runs out, how should I recharge it?"

"Will regular electricity work?"

Could it manifest in other forms?

With so many questions in his mind, Bruce restrained himself, turning to Surge and asking, "Do we have anything else to do?"

Surge crossed his arms and laughed heartily. "Of course, we're looking for other Pokémon to battle!"

"Through battle, stabilize the power that has just been absorbed, and then you'll be able to leave Electric Valley and come back next year."

"Alright." Bruce nodded slightly.

Metang indeed needed a battle to precisely test its current combat power.

Then, Bruce and Surge started searching for wild Pokémon along the way.

Dark clouds covered the sky, giving people a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, and from time to time, lightning pierced the horizon.

Finding wild Pokémon was also tricky; they couldn't find ones with the abilities Power Storage, Lightning Rod, or Motor Drive.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attack it, and it would only turn into a charging treasure trove.

After more than an hour,

Metang found its match—a Magneton.

Magneton is a Pokémon formed from three Magnemites connected by a magnetic force, emitting a strong magnetic force and high voltage.

[Pokémon: Magneton (Electric/Steel)

Ability: Magnetic Force

Qualification: Gym

Level: Lv 36 (Professional)]

Its ability was Magnetic Force, making it impossible for Steel-type Pokémon to escape the battle.

Metang scoffed at that; he was unsure who would be the one trying to escape when the time came.

The battle began quickly.

With Magneton's classic move, flashing electricity surged around its body, and in an instant, gathered into a thick electric column that suddenly shot toward Metang!

"Current Shield." Seeing this, Bruce directly ordered.

"Metang!"

Metang quickly responded, as streams of electric current enveloped its body, suddenly forming a circular protective cover around it.

A bolt of lightning struck the Current Shield, producing a crackling sound, but then vanished without a trace, like a mud cow entering the sea.

"Metang!"

Suddenly, Metang let out an excited growl, feeling the electricity within its body seemed to grow stronger.

"Could it be that the Current Shield can also absorb the opponent's power and use it for itself?" Watching this, Bruce had a vague assumption in his heart.

With the thought passing, Bruce fixed his gaze and said, "Discharge."

Discharge involved converting the Current Shield into an attack form.

With a soft cry, the electric shield transformed, becoming dense electric rays, spreading in all directions as endless thunder flashed violently, like a thousand birds singing together.

Such a large-scale thunder attack was unavoidable, and Magneton was struck by the electric column, producing crackling sounds all over its body.

After a long time, it shook its body, continuing to float in the air, though its body was charred black. It was clear that Discharge had caused considerable damage.

Well, it was unrealistic to defeat Magneton in a single blow.

Magneton has double resistance to Electric-type skills, which is always high.

In the air, Magneton stared at Metang, and abruptly, a dazzling light burst from its body, then gathered into a small point, forming a beautiful beam of light.

Flash Cannon!

Apparently, Magneton realized that Electric-type skills couldn't effectively damage Metang and resorted to a Steel-type skill.

Boom!

Flash Cannon burst forth with a roar, kicking up dust and smoke completely, and charged toward Metang with astonishing momentum.

"Light Screen," Bruce said calmly.

A dazzling crystal Light Screen suddenly rose in front of Metang, halving Flash Cannon's power.

Immediately after, Flash Cannon continued striking Metang.

Metang coldly looked on, crossing its arms to shield its chest.

Boom!

Flash Cannon engulfed it, and dazzling light flared before their eyes.

Yes!

After a moment, the light faded, and Metang slowly lowered its arms, leaving only superficial marks on its body.

"Psychic," Bruce commanded.

"Metang!"

Metang's eyes sharpened, a purple light flashed in its eyes, and super energy fluctuations surged as mental confusion shot invisibly, instantly covering Magneton, surrounding it in a purple light.

Immediately, the mental confusion controlled Magneton, lifting it high and smashing it into the ground.

Boom!

With the sound of the collision echoing, Magneton hit the ground, unable to fight further.

"Well, Psychic has also improved a lot." Bruce nodded in satisfaction.

This trip to Electric Valley had yielded a lot...

Combusken refined its body, evolving into Blaziken and greatly enhancing its combat power.

Metang absorbed magnetic waves and electricity, not only mastering new electric moves but also enhancing its psychic power, and its combat power skyrocketed as well.

That afternoon,

Bruce and Surge returned to Electric City.

As soon as they entered the city, Bruce clearly noticed that many trainers were staring at him along the way.

"It should be something that happened in the thunderstorm area," Surge reminded softly beside him.

Moreover, it wouldn't take long for this kind of news to spread throughout the city.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked quickly up to Bruce, showing a professional smile, and said loudly, "Hello, sorry to take up your time.

"I am a staff member in the Human Resources Department of Devon S.A Group. Are you a college student?"

"If so, please accept our group's business card. This business card will allow you to directly intern with our group."

While speaking, the middle-aged man handed him a business card.

Surge opened his eyes wide, his voice buzzing, "Alright, we're students from Capital Metropolis University."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately lowered his head, pocketing his business card and repeatedly saying, "Excuse the disturbance."

After that, the middle-aged man quickly left.

"Recruiters from these companies are really everywhere," Surge explained.

"They're looking for outstanding talents all over the world, extending olive branches and trying to attract them to their own companies."

Devon S.A seems to be one of the nation's top 500 companies, not very famous.

In fact, the top 500 companies are already considered giants in Avalon. They may not be well-known to ordinary people, but they are undoubtedly large corporations and groups in the industry.

But they were students from Capital Metropolis University and are the pride among their peers, so what's with the top 500 companies?

"Our school's name is quite famous; the seniors normally look down on these kinds of companies," Surge continued.

Bruce suddenly nodded in understanding.

Afterward, Surge smiled, "With your strength, it's estimated that by the end of the first-year student exchange competition on April 7, there will be countless commercial organizations throwing olive branches at you, and you'll have to think carefully at that time."

"Alright," Bruce replied, nodding.

"Of course, outstanding graduates won't join corporate organizations; they'll make a name for themselves."

"As long as outstanding graduates have one single goal from start to finish."

Surge stared at Bruce and said slowly, "Become a powerful trainer."

"Become a champion."

Not long after, the two arrived at the Pokémon Association, and I arrived at Ming.

"Hello, you're finally here." When Kilian saw Bruce, his eyes lit up and he immediately came to greet him.

Noticing Bruce

's slightly confused look, Kilian said, "The video of your Combusken taking three lightning strikes in a row has spread throughout Electric City."

Hearing this, the corners of Bruce's mouth twitched, deeply understanding the speed at which information spreads in the Internet age.

If the news is hot enough, it will spread throughout Avalon in half a day.

"Are you here to return the insulated suit?" Kilian then asked.

"Yes." Bruce nodded.

Shortly after, the two returned the insulated suit to Kilian and quickly left the Pokémon Association.

Since it was late afternoon, they both headed straight to the airport by car and set off on their journey back to Capital Metropolis.
