Chapter 189: The Group of Little Magnetic Monsters Absorbing Thunder and Lightning_1

When can we set off?

According to the information provided by Zheng Ming, there will be a heavy rain in parts of the Electric Plains today, so the plan is to depart tomorrow.

...

Departure day.

Fang Yuan and Teacher Li Chang donned their Insulated Suits and took their related props, ready to head into the plains.

The white Insulated Suits looked a lot like astronaut outfits, mainly because they were quite light and more comfortable than Fang Yuan had imagined.

The upper part of the Insulated Suits was connected to a backpack, and Teacher Li Chang explained, "The lightning protection gear is all in the backpack; it's integrated."

"Both utilize principles from the Lightning Rod Feature and the Electric Engine Feature, making them safer than ordinary insulated apparel."

"They're designed to use their strengths to compensate for their weaknesses; not only do they not attract Thunder and Lightning, but they also actively repel it."

"And when you wear this, even if you get hit by your Little Magnetic Monster's Thunderbolt move, you won't feel a thing. However, because the materials are so rare, you can only rent them."

Fang Yuan silently touched the Insulated Suit. It sounded awesome...

But why do I feel like Grandpa Zhi's pajamas and rubber gloves seem even more awesome...

No... actually, it's Grandpa Zhi himself who's even cooler.

"Can I try it?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Try it?" Teacher Li Chang looked puzzled.

"You mean to release your Magnemite and let it attack you?" Zheng Ming said from the side.

"Yep..." Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Up to you." Teacher Li hadn't expected Fang Yuan to be so mischievous.

"There's no problem with that; go ahead and try. If the Insulated Suit doesn't work, we'll compensate you ten times the price."

"A tenfold compensation."

Fang Yuan was somewhat tempted, but considering the importance of his life, he suppressed the bold idea.

Once it was confirmed that an experiment was possible, Fang Yuan called out his Little Magnetic Monster. Seeing Fang Yuan fully equipped, the Little Magnetic Monster was initially confused, but it became even more baffled upon hearing Fang Yuan's request.

"Magnemite?"

"Magnemite," Fang Yuan said.

Watching his hovering and hesitant Little Magnetic Monster, Fang Yuan added, "Maybe start a little lighter..."

"Magnemite..." The Little Magnetic Monster was still somewhat panicked, afraid it might really hurt Fang Yuan, and then it would be a poor, homeless little thing.

"Go for it boldly!" Fang Yuan said.

Zap!!

An arc of electricity rudely struck Fang Yuan, but he had no idea what had even happened to him.

The electricity was completely absorbed by the Insulated Suit; he didn't feel the Electric Shock from the Little Magnetic Monster hit him at all.

"Keep going."

Zap!!!

After the experiment, Fang Yuan could now confirm that the suit would keep him safe. The Little Magnetic Monster's Thunderbolt move might not be very strong, but he didn't feel anything, indicating the attack was far from reaching the suit's limit.

Meanwhile.

Eevee, who had been lying on the side watching the commotion, had its eyes wide open the whole time.

What an amazing suit... It can really ignore Electric Shock!!

"Bwoo Bwoo!!" Eevee suddenly cried out.

Teacher Li and Mr. Zheng Ming looked towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan said, "It says... get one for it too."

Eevee nodded, "Get me one too.jpg."

"Don't mind it," Fang Yuan said.

Eevee had told Fang Yuan before not to call it out after entering the Electric Plains; it wanted to behave itself and stay inside the Poké Ball, apparently finding Thunder and Lightning truly detestable.

"If you're staying in the Poké Ball, what do you need insulating gear for?" Fang Yuan muttered.

"Bwoo, bwoo~!" Eevee pouted, having changed its mind.

"Heh heh…" Zheng Ming forced a laugh, "Do you need it? We also have insulating gear suitable for Eevee, but that would be an extra charge."

"Uh…" Fang Yuan was taken aback. That's too much, charging for it.

But then again… it seems like it's not him who will be paying, as all expenses are reimbursed by the Association.

Fang Yuan looked at Eevee and said, "If you're going to stay inside the Poké Ball, forget it. But if you want to stay outside, I can rent one for you."

"Bwoo… Eevee…" After some thought, Eevee nodded. Being inside a Poké Ball was too boring; it was better to be outside.

Moreover, it really wanted to try out the insulated suit Fang Yuan was wearing; with that on, it wouldn't feel a thing even if it got struck by electricity.

"Bwoo!!" Eevee once again indicated its desire to stay outside.

Five minutes later.

Eevee stood dumbly on the ground, with a scarf wrapped around its neck, and now, something had been tied around its legs too.

On its short and slender brown limbs, Zheng Ming had fastened a yellow circular object called an "Insulation Ring."

"Bwoo, bwoo!!" Eevee glared angrily at the rings on its legs and the fully equipped Fang Yuan.

This was too perfunctory to it!

It wanted a cool outfit as well.

"It's fine for Pokémon to use these. Humans and Pokémon have different physiologies; having this will largely ensure you are not hurt by Thunder and Lightning," Zheng Ming said to Eevee, which had a rich array of expressions, finding it amusing.

"Just make do with it…" Fang Yuan's mouth twitched.

Eevee nodded in resignation, while the Magnemite looked on with an intrigued expression, tentatively making a "Bwoo" sound as it eyed the Insulation Ring.

"Bwoo!!" Eevee glared at it, if you're insulated, how are you supposed to do specialized training? The resources you're using now are allocated by me, understand? Cherish them!

…

Finally, Fang Yuan, with Eevee and Magnemite in tow, set off under the guidance of Teacher Li Chang.

A Geodude, swinging a Bone Club and bursting with energy, followed alongside Teacher Li Chang. This was Teacher Li's Pokémon and also their main bodyguard.

Electric Plains… the entire boundary of the plains was isolated. Crossing the safety line could lead to being harmed by Thunder and Lightning.

It has to be said, other than the Spirit World, the Electric Plains was the most unique place Fang Yuan had ever seen in his life.

Ever seen the ground where electric arcs spontaneously jump out? Eevee now regretted it, what was it thinking, coming to such an unlucky place.

"Bwoo… Bwoo!!" Eevee walked on the ground, constantly jumping away to avoid the arcs in shock.

"Actually, you don't have to dodge… these electric arcs don't have any lethality," Teacher Li Chang said, looking at Eevee.

"Bwoo, bwoo!~" Eevee shook its head, insisting on dodging.

"Eevee is practicing its reaction and coordination ability, I'm teaching it well. Even when Eevee walks, it doesn't forget to train. Anything can be used as a training tool…" Fang Yuan coughed.

Eevee: "..."

How can a Trainer be so shameless…

"Magnemite~~~" The little Magnemite suddenly made a noise.

Flying along, the Magnemite felt some odd wave motions.

Boom!!

A thunderous roar echoed ahead. Teacher Li Chang pulled out a book given by Zheng Ming, the administrator, and glanced at it, "Ahead is a Lightning Strike area and the closest region of frequent Thunder and Lightning to our location. A group of wild Magnemite dwell there—"

As he spoke, the sky darkened, and it was followed by a flash of lightning and a roll of thunder.

About a dozen little Magnemite surged forward, sharing the electrical energy from a lightning strike that came down.

Under the golden lightning, a group of Magnemite formed a triangle, continuously rotating to attract more lightning.

Seeing this spectacle, the Magnemite beside Fang Yuan expressed complex emotions, quietly murmuring to itself.
