Chapter 71: Advice To Misty

Seeing Psyduck standing on the water, Misty asked in confusion: "Ms. Sabrina, did you do this?"

"No, I just gave Psyduck the command to consume mental energy. Psyduck used Confusion to float on the water." Sabrina said.

"Really, Psyduck's eyes are glowing." Ash was shocked. He was now convinced that Psyduck really had high potential.

"Then let Psyduck stay like this?" Misty asked.

"It just completed the instructions given to it before hypnosis. I tried to communicate with it just now, but it didn't do what I told it to do." Sabrina said.

"What should I do then?"

Misty was anxious. This was one of the few ways to train Psyduck. If this method didn't work, there would be no other way to train Psyduck.

"Misty, you are Psyduck's Trainer, you come and command Psyduck." Sabrina said.

"I'll do it...!" Misty was shocked.

"What, is there a problem?" Sabrina asked.

"Well... I don't know what skills Psyduck can use yet, and I don't know how to command him." Misty explained awkwardly.

Having owned Psyduck for such a long time, the only time Misty ordered Psyduck was to let Psyduck use a grab attack, which injured its claws. As for other skills, none of them were used.

Ash and Brock also felt a little embarrassed. After all, the three of them were companions. If the companions were too weak, the companions would also feel embarrassed.

"Confusion." Sabrina was very calm and gave coaching.

"I know." Misty nodded, pointed to a rock not far away, and immediately ordered: "Psyduck, use Confusion on the rock over there."

"Psyduck!"

Psyduck suddenly roared, and his telekinesis burst out. The water in the hot spring spread outward, and a huge Confusion wave floated a stone as high as a person in the distance.

The stone kept swinging left and right in the air, and was finally thrown out by Psyduck.

"Oh my god, so amazing." Ash was stunned. He didn't expect that Psyduck could use Confusion Solaceon to swing such a big stone. It was even more powerful than Harry's Psychic Pokémon in Saffron Gym.

"Psyduck." Suddenly, Psyduck's body sank into the hot spring. Fortunately, Misty was quick and hugged Psyduck.

"Psyduck, are you okay?" Misty asked worriedly.

"Psyduck?"

Psyduck was confused and tilted his head to think about what happened just now. He was soaking in a comfortable bath, why was there so much less water in the hot spring.

"Psyduck, you were really amazing just now." Seeing that Psyduck was fine, Misty immediately praised Psyduck.

"Psyduck?" Psyduck was stunned.

He was just soaking in a hot spring, how could he be so amazing? Is soaking in a hot spring a very amazing thing?

"What happened to you? You just threw such a big stone away." Misty reminded.

"Goo?"

Psyduck tilted his head, not remembering what Misty said at all.

"Psyduck, you won't forget what you just did, will you?" Misty asked in confusion.

"Goo?"

Psyduck was even more confused. What on earth did I do?

"No need to ask. Psyduck just released Confusion under the hypnotic Contest Condition. It doesn't remember what it did under the hypnotic Contest Condition." Gary explained.

"Will this training be effective?" Misty asked in confusion. If you can only use skills under the hypnotic Contest Condition and remember nothing when you wake up, can this have a training effect?

"Of course it will, but it requires long-term training, and your Psyduck has strong mental energy. It is usually so stupid because it has too much mental energy in its head. If you command Psyduck now, it should be able to do what you tell it to do." Gary said.

"Then Psyduck, try using Confusion again." Misty said. "Psyduck?"

Psyduck tilted his head, frowning, and couldn't remember how to use Confusion at all.

"Misty, Psyduck doesn't remember what happened under hypnosis, so he can't use Confusion. You can let him do some simple skill training, such as grabbing." Gary said.

"Okay, Psyduck, use grabbing on that tree." Misty ordered.

"Psyduck!"

Psyduck immediately followed Misty's order, ran to the land, and used the grabbing skill on the tree in front.

Bang!!!

Psyduck slapped the tree trunk with one claw, leaving three shallow scratches on the trunk, but... Psyduck immediately yelled, and the claw that attacked the tree trunk was already swollen.

"What a headache." Misty was also helpless, and quickly brought Psyduck back, put him in the hot spring to soak, and used the hot spring to apply hot compress.

Although Psyduck is very weak, at least he really followed Misty's orders. Before, when she ordered Psyduck, Psyduck always looked like he knew nothing.

"Psyduck is like this. You should be thankful for it, otherwise its potential would not be so high. You already know the training method. Breed it to Golduck as soon as possible, and you can control the mental power of the head." Gary said.

"Well, I will breed Psyduck well." Misty nodded.

Now that she knows Psyduck's talent and has a breeding method, the rest is Misty's own business. If she can't breed Psyduck, it's Misty's own problem.

"But Misty, do you have a Pokémon that can Hypnosis?" Ash asked.

"This...!" Misty had a headache. None of the Pokémon she had could master Hypnosis.

"Gary, do you know any water-type Pokémon that can learn Hypnosis?" Misty asked.

"Water-type Pokémon... Psyduck can learn it, but you already have Psyduck, so the only one left is Poliwag." Gary said.

"Poliwag... I don't have it..." Misty said helplessly.

Gary was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Misty seemed to have Politoed, and it was from Poliwag Breeder. It seems that Misty has not captured Poliwag yet.

"Then go capture it, or you can see if Ash and Brock have Pokémon that can Hypnosis." Gary suggested.

"None of the Pokémon I captured can Hypnosis." Ash thought about it and suddenly said: "Gary, by the way, how many Pokémon have you captured now?"

"Why are you asking this?" Gary asked in confusion. Now we are not discussing who has a Pokémon that can Hypnosis, why did Ash suddenly change the subject.

"If you want to ask, just tell me." Ash requested.

"10 Pokémon."

"What! You only captured 10 Pokémon." Ash was shocked.

"Why are you surprised?" Gary didn't understand. Ash was not surprised at all. According to the current timeline, the number of Pokémon Ash has captured so far is no more than two digits.

"I thought you captured a lot of Pokémon, but I didn't expect it to be less than Orange and Yellow." Ash said.
