Chapter 86: The Strong Heart Plan and "Failure"

This time, Mark did not knock Raymond out again, but just blocked Raymond's mouth.

Mark and the Caterpie gathered their strength and prepared for the next actual combat training, while at the same time healing the unconscious Electrabazz once again.

Then three hours later, as Electrabazz fully recovered, Mark untied Raymond's restraints and gagged him.

Accompanied by Raymond's shouting and encouragement, Electrabazz roared, overcame the fear of being beaten by Caterpie, ignited the fighting spirit, and entered a state of thunder and lightning resonance with Raymond.

The battle (actual combat training) is about to start!

The strength of Electrabazz that entered the thunder and lightning resonance state has been improved to a higher level. According to the cursing words in Raymond's mouth, the strength of Electrabazz in the thunder and lightning resonance state is comparable to that of the senior level.

The surface of Electrabazz was filled with violent electric currents, which spread to an area of ​​nearly two meters around the body.

Caterpie was almost impossible to get close to, and Mark and Caterpie, lacking any means of long-range attack, could only avoid its sharp edge and engage in a mobile fight.

This practical exercise lasted more than three hours.

At first, Raymond wanted to kill him with Electrabazz, but he found something wrong halfway, so he tried to escape with Electrabazz and moved the battle line to the swamp where Arbok lived.

Eventually, the situation reversed because the lightning resonance state could not be maintained for a long time.

Then, under the continuous harassment and suppressing attacks of Caterpie, Electrabazz fell down again, and Mark took the opportunity to subdue and tie up Raymond again.

After a few hours of rest and treatment, Mark continued to untie Raymond and conduct a second round of practical training.

Unlike Electrabazz, Raymond has a strong will to fight despite his hot temper.

Under Raymond's continuous shouting, cursing and encouragement, Electrabazz once again plucked up the courage and once again entered a state of lightning resonance with Raymond.

This time, Raymond used a trick. Halfway through the battle, he made Electrabazz pretend to be unconscious, and then launched a sneak attack on him.

However, both Mark and Caterpie discovered the attack in advance.

After a battle that lasted two and a half hours, Electrabazz fell down again.

And this is just the beginning...

For seven consecutive days, Mark and Caterpie continued to conduct actual combat training with Raymond and Electrabazz.

With continuous high-intensity training, his experience bar rose rapidly, and in just a few days, it had reached 86%.

I guess it won't be long before I can accumulate points again.

However, it is a pity that such high-intensity practical training and experience acquisition speed will not appear in the future.

——Because his plan failed.

Yes, it failed.

Some things are not enough just by his own efforts, just like when he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination before he traveled through time, he encountered a shady deal, and several points were deducted from his test paper which was clearly a full score. So he became disheartened, gave up science and pursued literature, choosing the path of a small town test-taker.

The same plan applies to Raymond and Electrabazz this time.

Under continuous high-intensity combat training, Raymond and Electrabazz did not undergo the transformation as he had imagined, and did not develop the desire to become stronger like him and Caterpie.

Instead, it took a completely opposite path.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of actual combat training, the experience gained by Mark and Caterpie through actual combat training dropped drastically, and almost no experience was gained.

Because Raymond and Electrabazz had completely lost their fighting spirit.

Even if Mark healed the injuries of Raymond's two Magnetons and handed them over to Raymond, the latter would not resist at all.

When the two Magnetos saw that their master and Electrabazz did not resist at all, they were soon infected and stopped resisting.

Mark felt very sorry about this.

After all, according to his plan, if Raymond can undergo transformation under high-intensity training, he can assist Caterpie in actual combat training for a long time.

pity...

"well..."

Mark let out a long sigh, and Caterpie with a punk backpack not far away also came over and sighed with Mark.

After these few days of practical training, Caterpie has clearly felt his own growth.

During the battles with Electrabazz and Raymond, it learned a lot.

Not only that, the various Electrabazz these days have caused its [scale powder] properties to show some signs of breakthrough, and perhaps it will be able to make further progress in a few days.

Unfortunately, both Electrabazz and the bad guy Raymond had lost their fighting spirit, and no matter how much it and Mark encouraged, forced and pleaded, it was useless.

Mark rubbed Caterpie's head and said, "Actually, it's acceptable."

Mark glanced at Raymond, whose eyes were empty not far away.

Considering Raymond's current condition, if he continues to look after him for a while, the transformation will be complete.

If he is released afterwards, he probably won't continue to do evil.

In addition, Raymond's loss of fighting spirit also produced an additional benefit.

That is to become open-minded.

No matter what questions he asked, as long as they did not involve actual combat training and fighting, and he knew it, Raymond would answer them without reservation.

From Raymond, Mark got a lot of information that he had never heard from books or from Old Man Aaron.

The so-called "special ability resonance" is a method developed by the Kingdom of Summer more than a hundred years ago. When the trainer and the Pokémon enter the "ability resonance" state, their strength can be improved to a higher level out of thin air.

Formal-level Pokémons can be upgraded to elite-level, elite-level Pokémons can be upgraded to senior-level Pokémons, and senior-level Pokémons can even reach master-level strength...

This special ability plan was very effective at first, allowing the Kingdom of Summer to win many victories in the World Championships and gain a lot of say.

However, as time went by, the plan began to show its drawbacks and it was no longer universal.

After all, compared to ordinary people, the number of people with special abilities is really too small.

Over the past two hundred years, Pokémon technology around the world has experienced explosive growth.

The Rom Federation, which is closer to the Kingdom of Summer, has not only experienced a technological explosion, but has also recently developed treasures called Key Stones and Super Stones that allow trainers to super evolve their Pokémon into incredible forms.

In addition, the Rom Federation has also developed a substance called Z Pure Crystal. Through this crystal material, trainers can use the bond between themselves and the Pokémon to use unimaginable Z moves.

Not only the Rom Federation, but also the Foros Empire in the east of the continent has now opened up a path called Dynamization, which can make ordinary Pokémons become extremely huge.

In addition, in the northernmost part of the continent, that is, the area north of the Azur Plain, the people there have developed a road called Tai Crystalization.

Compared with these constantly innovative forces, countries like Summer and Yilan have clearly fallen behind the times.

Not only are these countries unable to keep up with the times, they are also complacent and unwilling to accept advanced technologies from other countries.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Raymond.

The original purpose of establishing the Thunder Group was indeed to follow the footsteps of Owen and allow people to live a free and happy life.

But as the Thunder Group continues to expand and grow, this organization has become a tool for ambitious people to seek personal gain.

Raymond is an ambitious man. Although he speaks in high-sounding terms, such as the corruption and decadence of the Kingdom of Summer and the impending demise of the Principality of Yilan, and that he wants to save the people in dire straits, he actually does not care about these things at all. He just wants to fish in troubled waters and strengthen himself.

In addition to the news from these various forces.

Mark also learned from Raymond the strength division of trainers and Pokémons.

Generally speaking, the level of a trainer's main Pokémon represents the level of the trainer.

In this world, most of the Pokémons are amateur level, and even if they have evolved to their final form, they cannot be considered official level elves.

Usually, only when an Pokémon evolves to its ultimate form, masters most of the moves in its bloodline genes, and has a set of tactics it is good at, can it be called a formal level.

And this is just the most basic formal level.

Those more powerful official-level Pokémons have basically been cultivated to the limit of the Pokémons' growth. They can skillfully use most of the moves in their bloodlines and have a variety of tactical arrangements.

The next level above the formal level is the elite level.

Uncle Aaron has already mentioned that one of the characteristics is the specialization of the moves.

Another is the optimization of the effort range.

Well, it's the effort value in the Pokémon game.

The growth that each Pokémon achieves through acquired training has its limits, and it will stagnate when it reaches a certain level.

This kind of acquired growth is scattered throughout all aspects of the Pokémons, with attack, defense, special attack, special defense, health, and speed developing in an all-round and balanced manner.

This all-round balanced development has only one result, and that is the mediocrity of the Pokémons.

By taking some genetic reagents and tree fruits, the unnecessary growth of Pokémons in certain directions can be eliminated, making the Pokémons stronger in the areas they are good at.

When the effort area optimization is completed and the Pokémon has mastered some specialized moves, it is considered to have reached the peak of elite level strength.

The next step is to feel the energy circuits of specialized moves; by optimizing the effort range to the limit, feel your own energy system.

Then, understand and achieve the energy cycle in one fell swoop.

As long as the energy cycle is achieved, it is considered as achieving the senior level.

Specifically, all moves of the same attribute can share the same set of energy.

Taking Mark's Caterpie as an example, Caterpie currently has five moves: [Impact], [Silk Spinning], [Insect Bite], [Electric Grid], and [Self-Regeneration]. These five moves are independent of each other and have basically no effect on each other.

The same is true in the Pokémon game, each move has its own PP value and does not affect each other.

And if the energy circulation is opened up, moves with the same attributes will share a set of energy.

For example, Caterpie's [Impact] and [Self-Regeneration], these two moves are both normal-type, and their energy will be combined into one, causing both moves to become stronger.

Generally speaking, as long as the Pokémon successfully builds an energy cycle and reaches the senior level, then with the amplification of the energy cycle, even if it uses an ordinary move at random, it will exert the same power as a specialized move.

This is also a realm where the senior level crushes the elite level.

As for the already specialized moves, they will become even stronger with the increase in energy circulation.

A further step to open up the energy cycle is to further stimulate the energy that has completed the cycle and make it an "excited state".

This is also a skill for senior Pokémons to advance to higher levels. It is somewhat similar to the explosion in fighting games. The strength of the Pokémons will increase significantly in a short period of time. The disadvantage is that the consumption is a bit high and cannot be maintained for a long time.

Of course, it is not absolute that this cannot be maintained for a long time. As long as the strength is sufficient, it can still be maintained for a long time.

As for the master level above the senior level, it represents a breakthrough in racial limits, or it can be said to be a breaking of genetic limits.

That is, the Pokémons break through racial limitations, achieve development beyond racial ranges and effort ranges, and break through the innate shackles of the Pokémons.

After reaching the master level, racial value is no longer the biggest factor affecting the strength of the Pokémon.

Theoretically, even if it was a small Rattata, if it could continue to break the limits of its species, it would be possible for it to grow to a level comparable to that of a mythical beast. However, no one had been able to do this so far...

PS: In order to avoid everyone feeling confused about the strength system, I would like to remind you that the strength divisions in this book are amateur, formal, elite, senior, master, king, champion, legend, and divine beast.

The master level in this book is before the king level.
