"As expected of 'Pikki'..." Guan Liyuan muttered.
"Huh? Liyuan, what did you say?" Xiaozhi asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I said Miss Joy is here, don't worry." Guan Liyuan said.
There was a special Joy on board the ship, as well as a Pokémon medical team. When they were in Vermilion City, there was a local Kanto medical team and Joy on board.
Although the Saint Annu had more than a thousand passengers at this time, whether it was Team Rocket or Sakaki Foundation, Sakaki's men, plus the original staff on board, there were more passengers than passengers...
[The person who is talking to you also has hidden special abilities. In addition, he and the Pokémon you just explored actually have a chance to become forum members.] The voice of the penguin sounded in Guan Liyuan's heart.
The principle of issuing forum membership is that in a world, the more favored by the will of the universe, the greater the chance of being selected as a member. If they are also "member candidates", it proves that they are also "attracting" the favor of the will of the universe!
[No wonder, five characteristics... four of them are special characteristics that are not in the information...] Guan Liyuan sighed.
That's right. The results of the forum's investigation of Xiaozhi's Pikachu have already appeared. The race value is only 320, just like ordinary Pikachu. Even the highest speed talent is only "relatively" high, and it can't be compared with the real speed-type Pokémon with a race value of more than 500. The individual correction rate is also the most common 100%...
Normally, this kind of Pikachu should be similar to the Pikachu that Xiaoxia encountered when beating up children in Vermilion City.
Probably because Professor Oak only measured the race value and individual correction rate of Pikachu Ball, as well as the "lightning rod" characteristic, it was regarded as "an ordinary Pikachu with relatively rare characteristics" and given to Xiaozhi who didn't have the money to get the three starters.
Although most Pikachus have the "static electricity" characteristic, only a few have the "lightning rod" characteristic, but if that's all, it's not that precious...
And the effect of the "lightning rod" is to absorb electrical damage and increase its own special attack, which is also the key characteristic of Pikachu's counterattacks in the animation.
However, Guan Liyuan actually used the forum to make precise investigations and found that Pikachu has four hidden characteristics, and its own "lightning rod" is also naturally level 3!
According to the calculation method of Chaoparis's combat power, the level 3 characteristics should be counted as 100,000 combat power...
But in fact, because the "lightning rod" only takes effect when it is electrocuted, Pikachu's 100,000 combat power is not reflected at all, and probably no one has discovered it.
The level 3 lightning rod gives Pikachu a super large capacitor, which can withstand being struck by lightning directly or even absorbing the power of the beast, and convert it into its own electric special attack...
At the same time, as a "member candidate", Pikachu has four other hidden characteristics!
Counterattack: For every 10 levels higher than the opponent's level, the growth of the own attribute is increased by 5 levels. It takes effect after three minutes of fighting, recovers after the battle, and disappears after evolution.
Overpower: For every 10 points that the opponent's racial value is higher than yours, your special attack racial value will increase by 2 points, speed racial value will increase by 2 points, and attack racial value will increase by 1 point. This will take effect after three minutes of battle, and you will recover after the battle. The characteristics will disappear after evolution.
Long battle: After three minutes of battle, the effects of "Counterattack" and "Overpower" will increase by 20% every minute. If neither "Counterattack" nor "Overpower" is activated, your own attributes will decrease by 10% every minute, and you will recover after the battle. The characteristics will disappear after evolution.
Evolution Killer: When fighting with Pokémon in the final evolution form, the individual correction rate will increase by 50%. When fighting with Pokémon in non-final evolution forms, the individual correction rate will decrease by 50%. You will recover after the battle, and the characteristics will disappear after evolution.
The four characteristics can be summed up in four words: Stronger when facing a strong opponent.
Guan Liyuan finally understood why in the animation, when Xiaozhi's Pikachu was fighting against the legendary beast, he was called "Pikachu God". However, after traveling to several regions and achieving good results in regional competitions, "Pikachu God" was still beaten by children when he went to other regions... After all,
when none of the four hidden characteristics were activated, Pikachu's racial value of 320 points, even if it was upgraded to level 100, would only have a combat power of just over 30,000. And
it was impossible to exert 30,000 combat power. Either against the final evolutionary form of Pokémon, there would be a 150% individual correction rate and a combat power of 45,000, and after "Knock on" and "Long Fight" were activated, it would become more and more courageous...
Or against "children", there would be a 50% individual correction rate, barely at the level of competition, and more and more frustrated...
However, except for the last one, these four characteristics all have a premise, that is, "take effect after three minutes of fighting"! And the effect of "Long Fight" was gradually exerted.
Normally, with Pikachu's 320 points of racial value, it is impossible to hold out against any powerful Pokémon for three minutes. Probably because of this, Professor Oak did not discover its hidden characteristics.
Even Pikachu himself does not know, and it is likely that no one will ever discover it...
However, fate made it meet Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi's special talent as a trainer is the legendary magic skill "Rejuvenation Roar", which can restore a small amount of physical strength to Pokémon that have lost their combat effectiveness through encouragement, and then restore physical strength every time they are defeated within one minute!
The success rate is affected by the bond with the Pokémon and the strength of the opponent. The deeper the bond with the Pokémon and the stronger the opponent, the easier it is to succeed, and the success rate of continuous activation gradually decreases.
In fact, trainers without special abilities can also do this as long as they have a deep enough bond with Pokémon and high enough training skills. They can make Pokémon more resilient through motivation, and even temporarily stimulate their potential, so that they can wake up from the coma of losing their combat power...
Even in the game, the concept of "bond" has been introduced. After five hearts of bond, there is a chance of "one blood immortality" and "abnormal state recovery", which is not a rare ability.
Therefore, everyone just thinks that Xiaozhi is more talented in this aspect, and does not attribute it to a kind of "special ability".
However, under the same training technology, the effect and success rate of other trainers are far less than Xiaozhi!
Therefore, the characteristics of "Pikachu" and Xiaozhi's special ability form a perfect match.
Although it is still easy to be beaten by children, there is also the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak.
"Liyuan, what are you looking at me for?" Xiaozhi was looked at by Guan Liyuan and felt guilty.
"Nothing... Don't let Pikachu fight against weak Pokémon in the future." Guan Liyuan reminded.
"Huh? Why?"
"Ahem, from a trainer's perspective, Pikachu can easily remember the battle process. Fighting against a Pokémon that is too weak will cause Pikachu to develop bad fighting habits." Guan Liyuan said nonsense.
Xiaozhi did not question Guan Liyuan's theory, but he refuted from another point: "No, I don't think there are weak Pokémon!"
Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes at him and left, leaving him alone in the infirmary.
"How is it? Is Pikachu okay?" Xiaoxia asked.
Apparently, Pikachu's appearance is still quite pleasing to women.
"It's okay, the physical strength is too much... Just leave it to Miss Joy." Guan Liyuan said.
This is also in the Pokémon world. If the killing intent does not reach a certain level, the probability of a Pokémon's attack causing fatal injuries to other Pokémon is extremely low.
Otherwise, the "life-threatening" combination of Xiaozhi and Pikachu may not even survive a season...
"Xiaozhi, this guy! Always messing around like this!" Xiaoxia obviously has a big prejudice against Xiaozhi's way of commanding Pokémon to fight.
"By the way, when we dock tomorrow, are you going to challenge the gym?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Forget it... I already have three badges, and the fourth one may not be successful. Psychic Pokémon are very difficult to deal with..." Xiaoxia said a lot of reasons to herself, as if she was hiding something.
In the past month, the Sant'Anno has also docked in some coastal cities, so Xiaoxia and Guan Liyuan have also obtained two more badges. Currently, Xiaoxia has three badges, and Guan Liyuan has five!
In fact, Guan Liyuan also understands her feelings. The other reasons are just excuses. The real reason is... Tonight, the Sant'Anno will dock at the Golden Port not far from Golden City, and will set off again after staying for two days and three nights.
After all, Golden City is one of the first-tier cities in the Kanto region, more prosperous than Cerulean City, and even has two gym quotas. In addition to the most famous "Psychic Gym" where Nancy is the gym owner, there is another "Fighting Gym" that also has official gym qualifications!
Many tourists from Sinnoh, and even local tourists from Kanto, will take this opportunity to visit Golden City for sightseeing and shopping. The Pokémon competition on the Sant'Anno will also be suspended for these three days.
"Why don't you try the Fighting-type gym?"
In the game, the Fighting-type gym in Jinhuang City has been suppressed by Nancy's gym because it is restrained by the Psychic-type and has not obtained the qualification of an official gym. In the Pokémon world, Jinhuang City is a first-tier city and can have two official gyms, so the Psychic-type gym has become the "umbrella" of the Fighting-type gym...
There cannot be two official gyms with the same attributes in the same city. With Nancy's gym, the Fighting-type gym does not have to worry about being targeted by other Psychic-type gyms.
"Not going... Do you think Nancy will come?" Xiaoxia asked.
"Maybe..." Guan Liyuan said.
Nine out of ten times she will come!
What Sakaki wants to do with the opportunity of the "Saint Annu" sailing is now clear.
He personally took charge of the "Sant'Anno". The main activities were not only the Pokémon Contest, but also every other day during the Pokémon break, that is, every time the "Sant'Anno" stopped briefly at ports and coastal cities, there would be official gym leaders on board, and sometimes even two gym leaders on board at the same time!
In nearly a month, the Sant'Anno already had 17 official gym leaders...
One of them was Guan Liyuan's "acquaintance" Aju!
When Xiaoxia saw him, she got angry again, but Aju insisted without sincerity that she had recognized the wrong person...
That's right, it was the news in the past few days that Aju successfully challenged the official gym in the Crimson City and became the officially recognized Crimson Gym Leader!
The reason why these gym leaders suddenly boarded the ship collectively was obviously to build momentum for Sakaki...
Guan Liyuan also remembered what Professor Oak said, that Toten-oh was very popular in the Johto region, and Sakaki had the support of many gym leaders in the Kanto region...
Of course, according to Guan Liyuan's observation, there were still differences in the closeness of these gym leaders, and not all of them were members of Team Rocket. Some of them probably just supported Sakaki to be the Kanto champion for some reason.
This "momentum-building tactic" of one or two gym leaders making a high-profile appearance and supporting Sakaki every other day did make many people feel that "the next champion should be him", which boosted Sakaki's popularity.
Guan Liyuan also relaxed a little because so many gym leaders were on the Sant'Annu...
With the current lineup on the Sant'Annu, even if a weaker beast came, it would not be able to get it, right?
"Then I'll go to Golden City tomorrow to take a look. Do you want to bring anything?"
Guan Liyuan decided to go to the Psychic Gym himself...
