Pokémon: Going Against the Current

"Is this the flying skill: Feather Qi?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but was slightly stunned when he saw Bi Diao's wings suddenly wrapped in white light.

"Yu Qi's trick is still possible and can be of great use in some special situations."

Feather Qi is a flying-type recovery skill that can restore half of one's health, but at the cost of losing the flying attribute for a period of time in the future.

This is a good thing and a bad thing. Although the restraint and resistance to the grass, insect, and fighting types are lost, and the resistance to the ground type is almost immune, at the same time, the electric, rock, and The weakness of the ice system, the specific effect depends on how you use it.

……

With the help of Yu Qi's unique skills, Bi Diao quickly recovered and even the feathers that were cut off by the flying mantis also grew back.

After fully recovering, Bi Diao flew high into the sky again and used air slash against the flying mantis below.

"Hey~"

The Flying Mantis unexpectedly did not make a hard connection this time. He jumped up directly, avoided Bi Diao's attack, and flew straight in Bi Diao's direction.

Although I usually like to fight on the ground because it feels more realistic, but do you really think I can’t fly? My name is Flying Mantis!

The flying mantis can fly.

After that, the Flying Mantis and Bi Diao started a fierce aerial battle.

……

At night, Pokémon Center.

"Miss Joy, thank you."

Mu Yang took the three elf balls from Miss Joy and thanked her.

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do, but don't be too anxious about your training. This is your second time here today."

Miss Joy said to Mu Yang in a slightly critical tone.

"Don't worry, Miss Joy, I know what's appropriate."

Mu Yang nodded towards Miss Joy.

"That's good. You know what's appropriate, so I can't say anything else. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

After hearing what Mu Yang said, Miss Joy's professional smile appeared on her face again, and she pushed the trolley away.

"Huh~ I didn't expect Bibi Bird's strength to improve so much after evolving."

After Miss Joy left, Mu Yang said with a look of surprise.

After an afternoon of adapting, Bi Diao has completely controlled this evolved body, and his speed has also increased from 2.5 times the speed of sound at the beginning to 3 times the speed of sound. Although he has not learned the two unique skills of Divine Bird Slam and Ultimate Impact, his attack power and physical strength have been greatly enhanced after evolving into Bidiao. The problem of insufficient attack power and slightly insufficient physical strength compared to other outstanding elves is also a problem. alleviated to a certain extent.

Only then did Mu Yang truly understand Bi Diao's strength. Although Bi Diao's current strength is not as good as that of the Flying Mantis, it has also reached the peak of the quasi-king intermediate level. If he can digest his speed, it can reach four times the speed of sound. , and learn one of the two ultimate moves of Divine Bird Slam and Ultimate Impact, you can reach the level of Flying Mantis.

Now that Mu Yang already has two elves of the quasi-king level, his identity as a quasi-king trainer is no longer so impressive. People's judgment of a trainer's level is actually based on the elf with the highest strength.

Therefore, even trainers of the same level may have vastly different strengths. Some quasi-king level trainers already have six elves with peak quasi-king level strength, but because they lack one elven at the top level, they are still quasi-king level trainers; while some quasi-king level trainers may only have one elves who have just stepped into the The elf on the threshold of the Quasi-King, the other elves are all new trainer level Magikarp, but he is also a quasi-King level trainer.

"It's a pity that Stinky Flower has to wait until the end of the Sun-Moon Youth Competition to receive the best Sun Stone. Otherwise, Stinky Flower could have evolved together today."

Mu Yang sighed and said with some pity.

Smelly Flower is different from Bibi Niao. She urgently needs a more powerful body. Now Smelly Flower's body is really difficult to support the fighting style Mu Yang gave her. The speed route Bibi Niao takes, although his body's resistance is not good, he does not need to withstand the opponent's attack, he only needs to dodge.

But Stinky Flower is different. No matter how awesome her recovery ability is, she can easily be defeated by others without a strong body, especially when facing elves whose attributes restrain her. Besides, she doesn’t need to be like a Bibi bird. Exploiting potential.

The reason why Mu Yang has been suppressing Bibi Niao and not letting him evolve is because when Mu Yang was still poor, he did not give Bibi Niao the best, causing him to waste some of his potential. The wasted potential will become a further obstacle to Bibi Niao, so now Mu Yang will do his best to remedy it.

Otherwise, few people would do such a thankless job, wasting such a long period of time just to squeeze out a little bit of strength, and it would not be worth the gain. If Mu Yang had not suppressed Bibi Diao and let him evolve directly, Bi Diao would probably be stronger than he is now. But at the same time, it will become more and more difficult to improve Bi Diao's strength. He will get half the result with twice the effort. The lack of potential and the disadvantage of his race will make Bi Diao need to work several times harder to catch up with those elves with excellent talents.

But how can it be so easy to achieve after several times of hard work? Flying Mantis is undoubtedly better in talent than Bibi Bird, but have you ever seen him slacking off at all? Unless you can reach a very high level, you can ignore the restrictions of race and talent, because at that level, race is no longer important, it is more about whose realm and level is higher.

"It's time to go. Let's go see Qingyun and Wang Xinlin first. They haven't seen me for almost a day. We will go to that place later."

After taking a rest, Mu Yang suddenly stood up and walked outside the Pokémon Center.

……

"It's a little strange, Qingyun, where is Brother Muyang? I haven't seen him since the end of the game. Isn't it because he was in a bad mood after losing the game?"

At this time, Wang Xinlin, who was feeding the velvet sheep, seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to Mu Qingyun, who was also feeding the elves beside her.

"No way, my eldest brother has always been a very sensible person since he was a child, and he doesn't care about unnecessary honors. Although his grades in school were very low and he was always in the top ten, except for competitions with actual rewards, I I haven’t seen him participate in other games.”

Mu Qingyun, who was feeding the forest lizards, was slightly startled after hearing Wang Xinlin's words.

"Think about it."

Wang Xinlin also felt that it was impossible for someone like Mu Yang to be in a bad mood because of such a trivial matter, not to mention that she had to admit defeat on her own.

Wait, admit defeat? Doesn't he also have an elf flying mantis? Why would you admit defeat?

Suddenly, Wang Xinlin seemed to notice something.

"Qingyun...".

"Dingling, dingling..."

Just when she was about to say something to Mu Qingyun, Mu Qingyun's phone rang.
