Pokémon: The Climb

"Mr. You is also a strong man who is close to the Heavenly King. He should know how to quickly break through to the Heavenly King, right?"

Yang Yan nodded, "Naturally, it has something to do with the environment!"

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "That's easy to explain. An energy-rich environment can not only accelerate the breakthrough of Pokémon, but the existence of high-level Pokémon itself will also attract the free attribute energy in nature. Therefore, the environment and Pokémon Kemu is actually an interdependent existence."

"In addition, the long-term maintenance of high-concentration energy provides living space for certain precious materials."

"And the mythical beast can not only speed up the gathering speed of energy, but also enhance the growth speed of special materials."

"I said so... Mr. You may understand?"

Yang Yan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's it!"

Yes, Yang Yan has known for a long time that improving the environment is not just a matter of losing money that requires trainers to continue to add money. In fact, it can also be used to make money.

As Mr. Xi just said, high-concentration energy can be used to cultivate some special materials, such as the Cuiyun flower that Yang Yan is most familiar with.

The existence of these special materials will also help maintain the high concentration of energy in this area in disguise.

In fact, in the early stages of environmental transformation, they cost the most.

Only by planting a certain amount of special materials in the area can the transformation effect be maintained or even get better.

These special materials, after they grow to a certain extent, the trainer can choose to pick and sell them, or let the Pokémon take them directly.

You can get money from selling it and leave it to the Pokémon, which can slightly speed up the growth of the Pokémon.

Yes, slightly.

As mentioned before, King-level Pokémon do not have corresponding energy cubes, but this does not mean that their growth can only grow naturally with the passage of time. Taking special materials can play some role, especially precious materials with higher vintages.

These were what Qiuye Yinling told him casually when Yang Yan asked Qiuye Yinling about Shilingzhi.

Of course, if that were the case, how could people like Watanabe, Daigo, and Sirona grow up to be champions in their twenties? So naturally there are other ways to speed up the growth of King-level Pokémon.

This method is what Qiuye Gingling mentioned, making special potions from old special materials like Shiganoderma.

There is a general name for this kind of thing: growth potion.

As the name suggests, it is a potion that accelerates the growth of Pokémon.

The effect of growth potions is similar to that of energy cubes. The difference is that the consumption of energy cubes is long-term, and the materials are easy to obtain and can be produced in large quantities.

As for the growth potion, due to the rare materials, it is not as universal as the energy cube. However, the advantage is that taking one dose is enough for the Pokémon to absorb it for a long time.

In most cases, the raw materials for making growth potions require a long period of cultivation before they can be harvested, and some cannot even be cultivated artificially, so you can imagine how rare growth potions are.

To be honest, if it weren't for Qiuye Yinling, Yang Yan would really not know this.

Trainers will only know these things after they reach the Heavenly King level. After all, only the Heavenly King level has a need for growth potions.

Yang Yan is not strong enough, so it is normal for him not to understand.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a secret realm with no signal and couldn't log into the alliance website, Yang Yan would have wanted to learn more about the growth potion with others.

Of course, the scarcity of raw materials means that it is often difficult for even wealthy nobles to obtain them.

This made Yang Yan feel a little better.

Otherwise, civilians like them, who have come up step by step, may never get ahead.

The reason why I say slightly is because the formulas of these growth potions are basically in the hands of these big nobles. Although the alliance exists, it is conceivable that it must be very limited. After all, how can those nobles be kind enough to contribute the formulas?

And this involves another major difference between growth potions and energy cubes, that is, growth potions have different formulas based on different main materials, which results in the efficacy of the finished potions being very different.

So, this thing is actually a big pit.

The scarcity of raw materials makes it impossible to develop the formula, which means that ordinary people have no other way to obtain growth potions except joining the alliance and serving the nobles.

Otherwise, why would those nobles who should have been swept into the dustbin of history continue to exist well to this day? It is because of their family's long history that they have access to precious resources that are basically impossible for ordinary people to have.

There is a word that perfectly explains this situation: foundation!

Yes, heritage is accumulated over countless generations. What can ordinary people do to compete with nobles with profound heritage?

This is the bloody reality.

This is the higher you climb, the more you experience the cruelty of the world.

The establishment of the alliance has indeed allowed more and more ordinary people to have the conditions to become trainers, and it has also allowed more and more ordinary people to change their destiny, but the degree of change is basically at the quasi-king level, and even ends at the elite level.

Above the Heavenly King level, the world is still dominated by the group of people who were standing there originally.

The most obvious point is that among the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions of each region, which one of them does not have a profound background? It's just that the alliance deliberately didn't mention it.

The purpose is not to fool the people.

Finally, because growth potions are extremely difficult to develop, even nobles with profound knowledge can only master a limited number of formulas. If you want to develop as many formulas as possible, only focusing on a certain attribute is the cheapest way.

This also explains why those nobles only specialize in a certain attribute even though they have resources and channels that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Previously, Yang Yan often heard people advising him that the road to non-specialization was difficult, but in fact he did not have an accurate idea of ​​how difficult it was. After all, his Pokémon hasn't even broken through to the King level yet, so why does he need to think about things in the future?

But since he learned about the growth potion from Qiuye Yinling, he truly realized how difficult the path he had chosen was.

Of course, you can do it without relying on growth potions. However, after reaching the King level, Pokémon's growth rate will drop off a cliff.

In most cases, even after its physical peak, a Pokémon has trouble growing to the limit it should be able to grow to.

Take the perfect-level Pokémon as an example. With the resources the alliance has, there are actually quite a few perfect-level Pokémon trained every year, but why are there still so few championship-level Pokémon? Here's why.

Most perfect-level Pokémon don't grow up to that point, and their bodies turn from prosperity to decline.

Why do people like to pursue dragons so much? It’s not just that the lifespan of dragon-type Pokémon is inherently higher than other Pokémon.

Some people may say that the ghost type has the same longevity. The ghost type is more common than the dragon type. Why are there still so few people who specialize in it?

That being said, the problem is that trainers may not survive until the ghost type develops!

If you pursue dragon type, you won’t have this problem.

People are still smart after all.

"So do you understand now why the alliance wants to capture the mythical beast?" Mr. Xi asked with a strange smile.
