Link was somewhat surprised as he read Fennekin's medical examination report on the machine in the corner. He hadn't expected its ability to be Blaze, and that it already possessed "Mimic," "Foul Play," and the somewhat unconventional "Mystic Protect" at birth. Fennekin also harbored a power hidden within it that even it itself didn't know… It felt a little confused.
Thanks to the equipment's testing, although the specific principles behind it were unknown.
After buying two cans of Pokémon Cubes suitable for newborns at the Friendship Store with his Charmeleon, Link also bought a lot of daily necessities such as a backpack and brushes, as well as two sets of clothes to replace Snorlax's pajamas.
In just one afternoon, his savings had dropped below 50,000. It has to be said that raising a child and a pet is really expensive.
With the intention of supplementing his household income, he browsed the jobs offered by the Pokémon Center and found that most of them were part-time jobs that required the assistance of Pokémon.
Things like watering, turning the soil, fishing, starting fires, carrying things, battling... Link wasn't incapable of doing these things, but the workload specifically provided for Pokémon was beyond the capabilities of a "sickly" teenager like him. His newborn Charmeleon was also completely unable to handle most of them.
After careful consideration and calculation, he realized that he still needed to tighten his belt for a while and quickly train Charmeleon to be able to work independently.
At that time, it would be able to better handle work, battles, and Contests.
Thinking of this, Link patted the Fennekin 's head: "This family depends on you."
"Fu?"
Although it didn't understand, the Fennekin still took it all in, "Leave it to me!"
Seeing this, he smiled and took the little fox back to its room.
Because of the small population in Duskwood Town, most of the rooms in the center were single or double rooms instead of the usual four-person dormitories. The single room that Link was assigned not only had a private bathroom but also a TV.
After arriving at his temporary residence, he turned on the TV and spent a long time finding the Coordination Channel. He told the Fennekin not to use fire-type moves in the room when he wasn't there before he dared to take a shower.
During this time, the Fennekin curiously watched the Grand Festival performances on the Coordination Channel. Seeing the beautiful and novel moves and battles, its eyes seemed to sparkle with dazzling stars. It
was good-looking, it loved watching, it wanted more.
It didn't understand the intricacies of the show, nor did it understand the host's explanations and tutorials. It was mainly there to join in the fun and imagine that one day it would be able to use such cool moves.
But as it watched, the Fennekin felt that the moves they were using were a little strange.
Counterintuitive? Inefficient? Showy but impractical?
It didn't quite understand, and didn't know many moves, but its innate instincts and clever mind made it realize—using moves like this was wrong!
Lying on the floor, the fire fox seemed lost in thought, its ruby-like eyes flashing blue light, using its superpowers to imitate the way the Pokémon on TV used moves.
But the unpracticed imitation quickly failed, leaving the little Fennekin completely puzzled.
Scratching its ears and cheeks, it concentrated intently, staring intently at the dazzling battles on the TV program, even its superpower energy was highly concentrated under the influence of instinct, unconsciously radiating outwards with imperceptible fluctuations.
Suddenly, its eyes emitted a faint iridescent glow, and then it felt the whole world undergo a complete transformation.
The changes and flows of light, air currents, electrons, and energy, the operation of its own body, the internal structure of the television set, Link in the bathroom—all of this was clearly visible to the Fennekin.
"Miracle Eye," similar to "Mind's Eye," is a move closer to "skill" or "art." By observing the flow of energy, it locates the enemy's true form, achieving the effect of penetrating the energy defenses of Dark-type Pokémon with a psychic move.
Everything was reflected in its eyes... except for the moves used by the Pokémon on the television screen.
The television screen was merely light and shadow; how could it possibly reflect the movement and flow of those invisible energies?
The Fennekin couldn't understand, only feeling that this little box was inexplicable.
Not long after, before it had fully mastered this move, it felt its eyes begin to tire, no longer focusing intently, and its body and eyes returned to normal.
"I'm done washing up. I'll boil some water for you later."
Link, having changed his clothes, came out of the bathroom and saw the Fennekin lying face down in front of the television with its eyes closed, suspecting it was a little tired today.
After all, newborns need to eat, fuss, and sleep a lot to stay healthy.
But he, the trainer, had to study hard.
After consuming 1000 bits to increase its Intelligence, and with the assistance of the [Learning Crystal] to bring its Intelligence to 13, Link began to seriously study the reference books he had borrowed from the Pokémon Center.
According to the concepts in the book "Introduction to Pokémon Breeding," the use of moves by Pokémon is essentially the manipulation of energy.
Physical attacks primarily utilize energy internally, while special attacks release it externally. Status moves involve transformations in form and nature, often being more complex and requiring case-by-case analysis.
A Pokémon's growth is a process of improving its physical abilities and energy manipulation skills. To learn a move, the Pokémon must master the corresponding technique.
Generally, over 50% of a Pokémon's energy is of its own type; for example, Charmander's energy is primarily Fire-type.
The remaining portion varies depending on the type, egg group, parentage, and ancestors. Overall, the mixture of various energies manifests as a "Normal" type, but there are exceptions, such as a small number of Charmanders with a high Dragon-type factor, resulting in a secondary type.
Using its own STAB move is the easiest, but using moves of other types requires type and nature transformations.
This ability is largely based on the Pokémon's intelligence and willpower, which is why many special attack Pokémon have a richer move pool.
However, many energy cards are essentially multi-purpose, such as Normal and Dragon types, resulting in a wider variety of moves these Pokémon can master.
In general, a Pokémon's move pool varies from person to person; it's not that physical attack Pokémon necessarily have a shallow move pool.
The purpose of a trainer is to provide the Pokémon with the choice that nature cannot provide, tailoring training to their individual personalities and enabling them to master moves and techniques they wouldn't normally learn.
The foundation for achieving this is understanding one's Pokémon's [type], [ability], [rarity], [awakening level], [awakened type], and [personality], as well as the focus for gathering and converting energy.
Of course, the most important part is the shared commitment and strong bond between both trainers. A Pokémon's [talent] is meaningless to a trainer; true training only involves pushing a Pokémon beyond its limits.
"Wow! Who's the author?"
Link flipped to the end of "Introduction to Pokémon Training" and saw a familiar name in the author's section—Yukinari Oki.
"But then again, if you can only get a Pokémon to the level it naturally possesses, what's the point of having a trainer?"
