In the end, there wasn't any particularly good solution, and he could only take his time, planning to let Milotic accumulate experience over days and months.
"Although I haven't done much research on Shui Jun, I do know a few things... Shui Jun is called the incarnation of the North Wind, representing both wind and water. Its Power of the North Wind should be the embodiment of the fusion of wind power and water power," he mused.
"And Shui Jun's Cleansing Water is the embodiment of the fusion of mental power and water series power."
"Compared to the power of the wind, Fang Yuan, your Milotic should have better control over mental power, which is why it has mastered Shui Jun's Cleansing Water but is unable to grasp the Power of the North Wind."
Fang Yuan nodded. The awakened power of his Milotic was Superpower; it naturally had a better talent for spiritual power.
"Actually, to let Milotic coordinate the relationship between wind and water is quite simple..." Mikkeli said with a slight smile.
"Don't forget, Milotic represents the loving Pokémon; its power's nature is inclusiveness."
"Water embraces all things; it can accommodate not only spiritual power but also the power of the wind. Perhaps, you could break free from the constraints of other powers and discover some unique traits that belong solely to Milotic?"
"Legendary Power is certainly strong, but Milotic also has its unique specialties."
......
"Milotic!"
At the seaside, Mikkeli's Milotic floated in the air, its tail carrying a bright red Flame Orb, which could put it into a burn status at any moment.
However, at that moment, the flames on Mikkeli's Milotic, along with the water flow enveloping its entire body, had formed a dynamic balance. The flame was wrapped in the water flow but did not go out, and the water flow, despite being disturbed by the flame, did not evaporate.
In this miraculous state, Milotic's scales shone brightly, and its power seemed to have increased significantly.
Flame Orb: An item that, when carried, can put the Pokémon into a burning abnormal state.
Marvel Scale: If turned into an abnormal state, Marvel Scale reacts, and the Pokémon's defense greatly increases.
Endure Move: When in a poisoned, paralyzed, or burn status, if the Pokémon uses this move against the opponent, its power will double.
At that moment, Mikkeli's Milotic had perfectly coordinated an item, a feature, and a move, achieving a coexistence of flame and water flow. Milotic wasn't affected by the burn, but it received an overall amplification from the abnormal status.
With a snap of his fingers, Mikkeli ended the display.
As the flame went out, thunder and lightning, toxins, and other aberrant elements began appearing in the water flow. These factors were all perfectly embraced by the water flow around Milotic, not affecting its state, yet providing a significant boost to its strength.
"This is the inclusive nature of water; be it toxins, electricity, or even flames, for Milotic, they can all be accepted perfectly. Similarly, mental power and wind power can do the same."
"Although my Milotic can't achieve this yet, your Milotic, with training, perhaps can..." he mused.
After demonstrating the inclusive property of water for Fang Yuan, Mikkeli smiled slightly but did not elaborate on how this "inclusiveness" could be achieved.
"No matter how many times I see it, this guy's skill in coordination is outrageous," Da Wu also muttered to himself, watching Mikkeli from the side.
Fang Yuan's Milotic, too, was on Fang Yuan's side, captivated by the technique of Mikkeli's Milotic.
The Dragonite, seeing its own Milotic attracted by another handsome Milotic, was secretly anxious.
What's going on!!
What's this messy inclusiveness!!
"If you want to master the power of wind, why not just fall in love with this Flying-type Pokemon and spare all the fuss!!"
At this moment, Fang Yuan also seemed to be lost in thought.
Milotic, the Loving Pokemon, is a creature fond of peace, usually trying to avoid battles and disliking conflict, even calming down people engaged in furious arguments with its benevolent tolerance.
Although Fang Yuan's Milotic's personality differed from that of most Milotic, it was undeniable that these character traits were ingrained deep within the bloodline of the Pokemon species, and even with some deviations, they couldn't alter its essence.
So, when Mikkeli said that Milotic is a Pokemon that tolerates everything, he wasn't wrong.
"I've learned a lot."
Fang Yuan looked at Mikkeli and thanked him, understanding what the other meant.
It was a close call; as the creator of the beauty contest, he had nearly forgotten that its essence was to showcase the charm of the Pokemon itself.
The Sea of Origin, Cleansing Water, Freezing Fog, the power brought by the Power of the North Wind, while powerful, made Fang Yuan overlook Milotic's own species characteristics because of these potent Legendary Power.
In comparison, Mikkeli, who possessed none of these Legendary Powers, had developed the all-encompassing nature of his own Milotic to the extreme, integrating it into the Coordination Domain.
All at once, Fang Yuan had an epiphany; these Legendary Powers were somewhat usurping the main role. They shouldn't be changing the temperament of Milotic, but rather Milotic should be the one to incorporate the features of these abilities.
He would need to pay more attention to this in the future, making the Pokemon itself the primary focus, with the Legendary Power playing a supporting role.
Using Legendary Pokemon as a template is good, but it's even better to embrace their power, forge one's own path, and surpass them.
"Actually, starting with perfectly tolerating abnormal states is a great beginning. That's how I initially trained the Marvel Scale trait of my Milotic."
"Water... has many interesting properties worth tapping into."
"Your Milotic has the Attractive body feature, right? No wonder it is so beautiful."
"Even with the Attractive body feature, it's the same process. You can begin by enduring elementary forces such as burns and toxins through the Endure Move. It's about toleration, not purification. After becoming familiar with them and once Milotic has mastered the inclusive nature of water, it should be able to control the Power of the North Wind, and its Coordination Ability will leap in quality."
"The Endure Move?"
Mikkeli said, "That move, I'm not very skilled at it either. If you want some insights, perhaps you could discuss it with Sir Thousand Miles of the Orange Flower Dojo, he's likely the foremost authority on the Endure Move in the Pokémon World."
"Sir Thousand Miles..." Fang Yuan nodded, feeling a sense of relief throughout his body.
The Pokémon World is really full of wonders, he could teach Da Wu about Soul Heart, Mikkeli could give him guidance on training Milotic, and other Trainers also possessed their own meticulously refined Moves Secret book. This journey would likely see a significant boost in his strength. Coming here was the right choice; Trainers indeed need to interact with each other for mutual growth.
While Fang Yuan and Mikkeli were exchanging ideas, Dragonite observed the scene and had already silently left.
Even it had to admit, Mikkeli's Milotic was somewhat exceptional, and even stronger than itself... and there were things it admired in another... That wouldn't do.
Big problems would arise.
Clenching its teeth, it returned to the yard, grabbing Darkrai and Victini on the way and stomping forward, staring at them with wide eyes, full of intent.
"Roar!! (Quick!! Let me have a nightmare, I've decided, I'm going to actively turn dark and get stronger!! Victini, little sister, assist Uncle Darkrai, make the Nightmare Strength more fierce!!)"
"Roar!! (Dark power, triple the strength!!)"
Darkrai and Victini looked at each other, wondering what had gotten into this foolish dragon again.
