Chapter 491 Because, you are Shirona

...

"How did you know my Kingdra Characteristic Trait is 'Sniper'?"

After the fight, Claire, despite being disgusted, chases after Natsu and asks.

"Guess."

"Guess?" Claire was slightly surprised.

Natsu shrugged, "Kingdra's usual Characteristic Traits are nothing more than 'Swift Swim' and 'Sniper', and if your Kingdra Characteristic was 'Swift Swim', you would definitely order Kingdra to use 'Rain Dance' first to have the advantage of the weather. , but your choice is 'Dragon Dance', in order to maximize the offensive ability, then the probability of the 'Sniper' Traits is the greatest."

This is a guess. Yes, not completely.

Kingdra also has the Implicit Characteristic of "Damp", but unfortunately the Characteristic Trait of "Damp" is not very helpful for actual combat, but more of a function, so the possibility of Claire Kingdra's "Sniper" Characteristic Trait is the greatest.

In addition, Togetic used "Nasty Plot" and "Lucky Chant" at that time, mainly for the special attack enhancement brought by "Nasty Plot".

Claire was lost in thought after hearing Natsu's words.

"Actually, you don't need to be so obsessed with 'Dragon Dance'. While this move is great, it requires too much proficiency in Pokemon moves. Your Kingdra just evolved, right?" said Natsu again.

Kingdra Claire has just evolved, in their eyes, it doesn't seem like a secret anymore.

"Hmm," Claire subconsciously replied.

Immediately reacted, "Then?"

"Lance, what are you going to do?" Lance, who happened to be the referee, came over, and Natsu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lance was a little surprised, but quickly gave an answer.

"Focus Energy."

His answer coincided with Natsu's, and said to Claire: "Look."

"Focus Energy?"

Focus Energy is a move that can increase the concentration of Pokemon and make it easier to hit enemy key points, which is very consistent with Kingdra from the "Sniper" Trait.

"Because the use of the 'Focus Energy' move is undoubtedly much faster than 'Dragon Dance', and the difficulty of the 'Focus Energy' move to master is comparable to that of 'Dragon Dance'. There are many more. Even if you add 'Laser Focus', it's not impossible."

After all, this is a Pokémon with a strong attack type, it's unrealistic to want to cover more, it's better to use "Sniper" directly. Characteristic Trait effects are drawn to maximize.

Of course, no matter what Claire chose, she couldn't beat Togetic.

"Natsu's Starter Pokemon Beedrill, Traits are also 'Sniper'." Lance reminded Claire appropriately, indicating that Natsu's advice was well-founded.

Claire was deep in thought.

She now gradually understood why her cousin admired Natsu so much.

Is Pokemon like the common Kingdra?

Of course not.

Even due to the limitations of "Dragon Scale" and the deliberate lack of publicity, many people did not know that Seadra could evolve into Kingdra with the help of "Dragon Scale".

But Natsu knew a lot about Kingdra, and that knowledge alone was something that Claire couldn't compare.

Besides, this is called no battle experience?

Lance looked at Natsu after a moment.

Natsu blocked it with a sentence.

"You promised, half a year."

The corner of Lance's mouth twitched.

At that time, he still thought he had made a profit, but now it seems.

This guy agreed to Claire's challenge, wasn't that to show himself?

Natsu is so boring?

Of course not.

This battle with Claire didn't come without Lance either.

At least one thing Lance admits, in that the opponent doesn't know enough about himself, but Natsu can still use some of his informational advantage to crush the opponent.

Since Claire represented an upper middle class battle force in this competition, Natsu wasn't difficult to deal with.

But if Claire knew enough about her abilities and powers, she probably wouldn't be so comfortable in battle.

So this made Natsu more certain of one thing.

Hide the "routine" until the end.

"Senior Natsu, are we going to play a game?" Lorelei looked excited.

Watching these matches made her realize that Pokémon's strength might not be everything, and a sensible combination of tactics and moves could make it even more ideal.

In terms of destructive power alone, Natsu's Togetic couldn't catch up to Claire's Kingdra, but it was as good as it got.

"No, I realized something and I have to remember it."

After he finished speaking, Natsu also ran away.

Shirona, who came last, looked at Natsu's back as she walked away quickly, opening her mouth, but unable to say anything.

Several people looked at each other in dismay, but were not too surprised by this situation.

Claire was the only one who had doubts.

Is there anything else Natsu can learn from the match he just played against herself?

"By the way, Shirona, why are you here?" asked Lorelei.

As if there were several people present, she could only talk to Shirona.

"Oh, I have a little problem with Pokemon training, I want to ask Natsu for advice." Shirona said without thinking after lightly fiddling with her hair.

"Pokemon training?"

Lorelei seemed to think while nodding, didn't she also want to ask Natsu about Cloyster.

"What Pokemon?"

At this moment, Lance, who was completely unable to speak, found an entry point.

"Glaceon." Shirona, who was speaking subconsciously, suddenly noticed that Natsu's "Dodo" identity didn't seem to have been announced, so she hastily stopped her mouth.

Glaceon?

Look at Shirona, then look at Lorelei.

'Has Natsu done a lot of research on Ice-Type Pokémon?'

In contrast to the news from the Alliance research forum, Lorelei, who was the top student at the Silver Academy, was always concerned about the papers leading the change and research of the Pokémon world of Pokémon.

She knew something was really hot recently.

That's the announcement of four new Eevee evolutions.

And this published evolution has been successfully confirmed.

The most important thing is that the "author" who announced the Eevee evolution had uploaded a piece of information about the four types of Eevee evolution a few days ago, including the basic moves and recommended training directions, and also said that the content will be constantly updated.

Again, there is a lot of movement on the forums.

Lorelei remember, the writer who seems to be a beginner in this research forum, his name is dodo?

Does Senior Natsu know this "Dodo"?

Lorelei didn't put "Dodo" on Natsu's body, because Natsu's age was very different from the researchers and even professors who had made achievements in Pokemon research in her mind.

'Could it be Senior Natsu's Master? '

Seeing that neither Lance nor Lorelei showed too much hesitation, Shirona quietly relaxed.

"I have something I want to ask Natsu, you guys continue."

Saying, golden hair was tossed lightly, moving in the direction Natsu had left to chase.

So there were only Lance, Lorelei and Claire still thinking.

Lance looked at Lorelei with an embarrassed smile.

"hmph—"

Lorelei gave Lance the back of her head and walked to the side alone to sort out some of the training methods that Natsu had just discussed.

Leaving Lance standing on the spot, somewhat not knowing what to do.

The sun in Celestic Town was warm, but Lance felt… a little chilly.

"Natsu." Shirona caught up with Natsu, who was about to return to the Pokémon Center.

"En?"

Natsu looked suspiciously at Shirona, who was chasing at a fast pace, breathing a little too fast, and her face was red.

"I read the paper you published a few days ago, suggestions on the development of the four evolutionary types of Eevee, and a basic analysis of these four evolutionary types." Shirona explained.

"En."

Natsu nodded.

As per the Alliance's request, he did indeed publish such a paper, and he managed to receive the support and praise of many people, which was another minor annoyance in the research forum.

But he was used to seeing the wind and waves, so he didn't really care about these "little" movements.

What he wanted to know more about was when the things and resources that Sakuragi agreed to submit for the last time would be delivered.

Including the Eevee group which is said to be extraordinary.

"I'm a little confused," Shirona added.

"You said."

Shirona hesitated a little, "Last time you said, Glaceon's special attack abilities are amazing, although 'Snow Cloak' Traits are difficult to be on my team It has a good performance, but you suggest in your paper not to focus too much on Glaceon's Ice Type abilities, but try to increase its attack surface, because Glaceon can make achievements in Psychic Type, Water Type, and even Bug Type."

She said initially, and Natsu had a general idea of ​​what he meant.

After setting the language, Natsu asked back: "You wonder why I recommend others to specialize in Ice Type abilities, but suggest that you pay more attention to Glaceon's completeness? Do you know more about Pokémon like Glaceon?"

Before Shirona could speak, Natsu looked at her deeply and answered.

"Because, you are Shirona."

After saying that, he walked to the Pokémon Center.

Shirona, who was standing there, was dumbfounded.

Because, is she Shirona?

joke.

Natsu's paper is for most ordinary trainers, can they compare to Shirona?

Give others the same advice as Shirona. Natsu is afraid of being beaten to death, as the majority cannot do it.

But what they couldn't do, Shirona would be fine.

That was because, she was Shirona, she was the future champion and was now the face of the young Trainer of the Sinnoh Region.

Shirona, who gradually understood the meaning of Natsu's words, slowly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a rarely seen smile on her face.

That's right, because she is Shirona!

This explanation is quite reasonable.

The visit of Lance, Lorelei, Shirona, and Claire brings a lot of influence on Natsu's life which is initially boring, boring but satisfying.

Because it was only a few days before the "Lily Valley Youth Tournament" started, no matter who it was, they were making final preparations for the competition.

Adjust Pokémon stats, keep Pokémon aggressive, consolidate tactics, train tactics, etc.

This gives Natsu an early understanding of their powers.

Then.

In the last few days, they have realized that Natsu is still a Breeder, and a very extraordinary Breeder.

Not only can Natsu create a Top-Rank Pokéblock for Pokémon, but even with luck, he can already craft a special Pokéblock or two.

This is all thanks to Natsu's progress in Psychic so far.

After Alakazam evolves, Natsu, who can perform psychic fusion with Alakazam, gains some benefits.

And this benefit made him have some progress in his own Psychic manipulation.

Although the overall number of Psychics had not increased much, for a Psychic like him, good Psychic control was more important, and he didn't need to use Psychics to compete with others and show what.

In addition to making Pokéblocks, Natsu also has a unique Pokemon massage technique.

Relieves Pokémon fatigue between training and battle.

This discovery surprised some people.

They can't make Pokéblocks or anything, the worst thing to eat is also premium Pokéblocks specially crafted by Breeder experts, highlighting the rich and impressive.

But Natsu's technique and technique of massaging Pokémon allows them to hand over tired Pokémon to Natsu after daily battles and training.

Natsu didn't say no.

Because

He charges a million "service fees".

Of course, this money was only small money to them.

Like Lance and Claire, the resources used for Pokémon training are covered entirely by the family before they officially enter the Gym Leader level.

They just need to be responsible for Pokemon training, without worrying about resource consumption.

Even if they entered the Gym Leader level, the Royal Dragon Clan would continue to take part.

Shirona and Lorelei were similar. Shirona has the support of the Sinnoh Alliance, not to mention her grandmother, Professor Mustard. Whereas Lorelei had outstanding grades, the Silver Academy helped her bear most of the resource consumption.

Compared to them, Natsu's newly established Pokémon farm was really poor.

So if you don't sweep them, who will you hire?

They still enjoy it.

Actually, Natsu wasn't too "poor". The Pokemon he had asked Joanna to help sell earlier had all been sold, and the money had been credited to his account.

In addition to the more than 10 million Alliance Coins he had stored earlier, the money on his body had now broken through the 40 million Alliance Coin mark.

But if Natsu only used it for his own Pokémon to training, a short amount of time was enough, he could maintain it for 3-4 months.

Impossible.

Although the resources it acquires increase, as Pokemon's power becomes stronger, their daily consumption also increases, especially after Alakazam evolves and enters the Gym Leader level, each of which all kinds of consumption increases exponentially.

Wait until Beedrill, Togetic, Doublade all reach Gym Leader level, Natsu guesses he can just go out and see if he can find some place to make some extra money.

Even though the Pokémon farm had been set up, the number of Pokémon was too small, and it was just preliminary construction. Many things are not yet on the right track. Now he invested money in it, and he had not earned anything in return.

This was the type of land he circled without the Alliance's approval, otherwise his money would have shrunk by at least half.

But this is a long term plan, and there is no need to rush.

Once he was officially on the right track, he would be able to continuously and stably generate resources to cover some of his consumption.

Training Pokemon costs money.

But what really hurts Natsu are the high-quality types of Pokémon that allow for higher costs.

So he was looking forward to the time when Sakuragi would submit the things he applied for, most of which were actually implemented by him for his Pokemon farm, which could speed up the farm's development.

At the same time, he also wanted to become a Gym Leader, and let the Alliance help him share his share of the consumption of Pokémon training.

But the first Gym was definitely not as profitable as the Gym that has been around for decades, but at least it was a good income.

Everything takes time to develop, and what Natsu lacks at the moment is time.

After the last few days of special training, the "Lily Valley Youth Tournament" was finally about to begin.

Several people boarded the plane that Shirona proposed from Solaceon Town to the location of this tournament.

Lily of the Valley Island.

Thank you so much everyone for your support
