Using the move Rest is quite mentally exhausting. It was also almost time for dinner, so Tetsuya prepared to let Piloswine, well… rest.
Starting tomorrow all his energy would be devoted to battle training. In just one week he would go to Mt. Silver -League Headquarters- to participate in the competition. At the very least he could not embarrass Pryce.
When Bronzong saw that it would be resting again, it was naturally very pleased.
However, Tetsuya still had to find Kawakami Rei first, otherwise tonight's lodging would still be a problem.
After recalling all the Pokémon into their Poké Balls, Tetsuya was about to go find him when unexpectedly, Rei came over accompanied by two staff members.
Upon seeing Tetsuya he said directly, "Ahem! I already understand the situation. Your Piloswine damaged the Battle Park building and compensation should normally be required. However you were arranged here by our boss, so naturally you do not need to pay the compensation. You only need to sign this form."
Then Rei took out a confirmation sheet and handed it to Tetsuya.
Tetsuya glanced at it briefly and signed it. To put it plainly, Kawakami Rei only wanted to use the repair of the dormitory as an excuse to request funds from Pryce and take a share for himself. After Tetsuya signed it, this man would naturally prepare a new dormitory for him.
After Rei took the confirmation sheet, he asked the two staff members to set up a new dormitory for Tetsuya. They even helped move his belongings over. The service was quite attentive~
The new dormitory was directly opposite the original one, so there was nothing particularly new about it. For Tetsuya it was only a temporary residence.
The only Pokémon with a somewhat special meal now was Piloswine. Although Golett's food contained many supplementary ingredients, Tetsuya had already added them in proportion beforehand, so Golett only needed to eat it directly.
Every time Piloswine finished eating it would lick the Eternal Ice. It had to be said that the property of this Eternal Ice was indeed much stronger than Everfrozen Ice. Piloswine had been licking it for more than a week and there had been no change to the Eternal Ice at all. When licking the Everfrozen Ice, after such a long time a small corner had already been worn away.
Night was precisely Golett's active period. Now Golett no longer needed Tetsuya's command and could complete that entire set of movements by itself. Tetsuya did not have the energy to accompany it all night.
After accompanying Golett's training until twelve o'clock and giving it a midnight snack, Tetsuya went to bed to rest. His own time was still very precious. During the day he needed to train Piloswine with full effort!
---◓---
When he got up the next morning to inspect the results of Golett's overnight training, he could faintly see that the range of energy spreading across its chest had expanded another circle. The speed of running and rolling had also obviously increased.
However the speed of getting back up had not improved noticeably. Indeed, for a body made of stone this was somewhat difficult. It would have to wait until the energy spread throughout the entire body.
After breakfast he recalled Golett into the Poké Ball to rest. Pokémon that were active during the day began their training.
Ditto no longer needed much instruction from him. In the training room it was absolutely the most eye catching one. The intensity of its training had even reached twice that of ordinary Pokémon.
Tetsuya brought Piloswine and Bronzong to the battlefield.
For Piloswine facing Bronzong, it was not as easy as when Ditto fought it. Bronzong's entire body was made of metal. It feared fire but not freezing, so Ice-type moves could not cause it any effective damage.
They directly came to the Grass field, which Piloswine was least suited for. Piloswine's movement was now very inconvenient, but for Bronzong it had no effect at all.
Gyro Ball seemed to be this Bronzong's special way of greeting. It had just entered the field when it spun its body and attacked.
Piloswine currently truly had no effective moves to clash directly with Bronzong. The only Ground-type move effective against Steel-type, Earthquake, could not hit because of Bronzong's Levitate.
However this is not absolute. Although Bronzong has the Ability Levitate, once it is pressed to the ground in a Gravity field, or knocked onto the ground, as long as its body makes contact with the ground, Earthquake will take effect.
Even Flying-type Pokémon will be hit by Ground-type moves and take damage as long as they land on the ground. Therefore Flying-type Pokémon that use the move Roost can also be hit by Ground-type moves. It is not that Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with Levitate are completely immune to Ground-type moves.
Another similar situation is that Ground-type Pokémon being immune to Electric-type moves is not absolute either. Ground-type Pokémon are "immune" to Electric-type moves because their special body structure allows them to conduct Electric-type energy into the ground. Therefore, if their bodies leave the ground, they can also be harmed by Electric-type moves.
Pokémon are "mysterious" precisely because of this "mystery". There is nothing that remains completely unchanged. The conclusions researched by those Pokémon Professors only represent most situations and serve only as references. They cannot be completely relied upon.
Bronzong's Gyro Ball advanced with unstoppable force. Wherever it passed was like a grass cutting machine, and all the grass along the way was cut down.
"Icicle Crash!"
Seeing Bronzong's attack about to land, Piloswine's Icicle Crash descended from above and struck the ground in front of it. Three rows of ice pillars instantly formed a one meter thick ice wall. Bronzong's Gyro Ball broke through the first row of ice pillars but could not continue and was bounced away by the ice wall.
"Piloswine, use Freeze-Dry to shatter the grass first."
Tetsuya naturally had to seize this opportunity to control the field. Otherwise the movement restricted Piloswine would have no way to defeat Bronzong.
Two streams of cold air spread out, and the grass on the field froze along with it, becoming covered with a layer of ice. The bleak scene of late autumn appeared vividly.
Just as he was preparing for the next step of the plan, a piercing metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out.
'It is Metal Sound…'
Bronzong, which had fought Ditto yesterday, had also become smarter. Now Tetsuya was placed in a passive position. Piloswine was immediately stimulated by the hair raising sound and trembled continuously.
At this moment Bronzong bypassed the ice pillars and once again charged toward Piloswine.
Now the situation had truly become critical. Restricted by the field, Piloswine's Snow Cloak Ability had also lost its effect. Although it was Hail weather, Piloswine's position had already been fixed, so there was no concealment left.
There was no time to worry about that. Being constantly restricted by reactive commands had limited his battle thinking. Since Bronzong's attack could not be avoided anyway, instead of struggling over how to respond to Gyro Ball, it would be better to focus on turning the field into one favorable to himself.
However, Piloswine would have to forcibly endure Bronzong's Gyro Ball attack!
