"And this, as a personal gift to you!" Fatong said as he took out a bracelet.
Of course, the bracelet is not the point, the real "gift" is the "key stone" inlaid on it!
"Super evolution" is a temporary combat evolution that "surpasses ordinary evolution" that can only be achieved by the linkage between the trainer and the Pokémon. To achieve this linkage, special props are needed to assist, that is, "super stone" and "key stone". When
the trainer wears the "key stone" and the Pokémon wears the "super stone", under the condition of sufficient training and tacit understanding, they can resonate with each other and promote super evolution in battle.
There are indeed many similarities with "bond evolution", so many experts believe that "bond evolution" is a kind of "super evolution" that can be carried out directly without the use of "super stone" and "key stone"... However,
Guan Liyuan understands that the two are not the same thing. When traveling in the Kalos region, he naturally has expectations for "super evolution".
"This is... the 'key stone' required for super evolution?" Guan Liyuan said with a bright look in his eyes.
"That's right. Although you still need to find the 'Super Stone' yourself, I just happened to process a new 'Key Stone' recently. Let it be my gift to you." Fatong said.
In comparison, the "Key Stone" is easier to obtain, and most importantly, different Pokémon need their own "Super Stone", while the "Key Stone" required by trainers is universal.
The source of "Super Stone" is a small part from mining, a very small part from extremely strong wild Pokémon, and the vast majority from ancient ruins...
Therefore, the Kalos region, which has the most "Super Evolution" related ruins, is also the region with the most Super Stone production, but even in Kalos, "Super Stone" is hard to come by.
"Is this the Key Stone that Alan used? Are there any more? Are there any more?" Esther asked hurriedly.
Fatong shook his head and said to his daughter, "No, it's too early for you to use the 'Key Stone'. Even with the 'Key Stone' and the 'Super Stone'
, you can't master the Super Evolution. Become a qualified trainer first!" Esther was obviously not convinced, but with her personality, she would not make trouble. Instead,
she silently made up her mind to master the "Super Evolution" as soon as possible, which
surprised Fatong. "By the way, give me your Pokémon Pokémon Pokémon." Fatong took Guan Liyuan's Pokémon ...
Guan Liyuan thought it was just some common sense stuff, until he left the institute and was in the cafe with Esther and Serena, studying the next travel route. He found out that Fatong actually gave him some speculated locations where "super stones" would appear and where "evolution stones" had been unearthed... These should be confidential information of the institute, and he also gave them to himself!
"Eh? Why don't I have them? No... It's not that they don't have them, they are encrypted and need to unlock six badges to display them?" Esther said after fiddling with the illustrations for a while.
Serena's was in the same situation.
"Damn, I was underestimated? Just wait and see! In five months... I will definitely qualify for the youth group competition!" Esther's fighting spirit became even higher, and Guan Liyuan even suspected that Fatong had this idea.
"Let's take a look at where our first stop is. Do you have any Pokémon or attributes that you are particularly looking forward to?" Guan Liyuan asked while looking at the map.
"It's hard to say which Pokémon I admire the most, but I admire Gym Leader Kornee the most! She's only two or three years older than us, but she's already able to take on the responsibility of being a gym leader. She also has a strong sense of justice and has taken the initiative to thwart Team Flare's plots many times." Esther said.
"Gym Leader Kornee? I've heard of our Kanto gym leader Nancy... no, now she's the Nancy King, and I seem to admire her a lot." Guan Liyuan echoed.
Among normal gym leaders, some of the stronger ones can reach the level of "King-level trainers", but usually calling someone "King" means that the target is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the regional alliance!
Although they may not be the four strongest, they are definitely the best among the kings.
"I've heard of Nancy King too! But there seem to be some bad rumors... ahem, it doesn't seem good to talk about others behind their backs. Liyuan, do you know Nancy King?" Esther said.
Yes, Nancy does have some negative reputation. Before she became the superstar, she stayed in her own superpower tower every day. She always had a long face when she saw the students of her gym. Sometimes, she would even use her superpowers to make the challenger sleep for several months because she was impatient with the challenge.
In short... it is in line with her style as a senior executive of Team Rocket!
Therefore, although they are both young and powerful female trainers, Nancy is more famous in the world, but Esther will worship Kornie but not Nancy.
"She is actually a very good person, but because of different experiences, she is not good at communicating with people. She has also adopted many children who are regarded as aliens in remote areas because of their superpowers." Guan Liyuan certainly would not say bad things about Nancy.
"Is that so? You can't judge a person only by his reputation..." Esther really believed it.
Guan Liyuan naturally knew about Kornie's gym owner. After all, she was a young female gym owner. Although she was not as famous as Nancy, no matter which world she was in, such a girl would be the focus of gossip, and many magazines would report on this.
Moreover, in the animation and the game, Kornai is also a gym leader who has appeared...
In the game, Kornai is just a hard-working girl, and in the animation, she traveled with Xiaozhi's protagonist team for a period of time, during which time she mastered Mega Evolution, and her ace Pokémon is "Lucario"!
However, in the Pokémon world, the real Kornai is unlikely to travel with Xiaozhi, and as the real gym leader, Kornai has already mastered Mega Evolution, and her ace Lucario is a stable King-level Pokémon, and a talented fighting trainer who has achieved great success. Although
some gossip magazines say that Kornai is often "confused" and has excess energy in private, it is not certain whether such things can be believed.
"For Kornai, it is in the Salo City and Salo Gym in the northwest coastal area. If you take the coastal route, you can take this route, or you can take the inland route..." Guan Liyuan said and simply drew two routes. "
And, for Serena, it should be the gym leader of Maxiu who likes the Aromatherapy Gym, right?" Esther said.
Another famous female gym leader, but older than Kornie, probably around 27 or 28 years old, but still relatively young among the official gym leaders, and stronger.
As a gym leader who was also mentioned by Nancy, Kornie is about the same age as Nancy, but she was only evaluated by Nancy as a "not bad kid". In fact, Nancy felt that she could completely beat her, on the one hand because of the "psychic" versus "fighting" attribute suppression, and on the other hand because Kornie's strength was still far from the top gym leaders.
As for the owner of the official fairy gym, Ma Xiu's strength is "something to look forward to" in Nancy's words...
"Aromatherapy City is in the north, so we can go to Aromatherapy City from the inland, and then go to Sala City along the coast. Let me count... one, two, three... a total of nine cities with gyms can be passed. Well, I am more interested in Zhimi, one of the four kings!
In addition to being a Pokémon training master, Zhimi King also runs a star-rated restaurant in the aquarium in Guxiang Town, right? We can turn to Guxiang Town at that time. In this way, we can pass by at least a dozen cities and towns with gyms without changing the route on the way." Guan Liyuan said.
"Wait, Liyuan, did you forget to count the gyms in Miare City? As the largest core city in Kalos, this is the only city in the Kalos region with three official gyms!" Esther reminded.
"No, it's not that I forgot... but now we can't challenge the gyms at all, and when the training is fruitful, there is no time to turn back." Guan Liyuan explained.
"Eh? The first badge doesn't work either? I want to try the Miare Lightning Gym..." Esther said with some regret.
Guan Liyuan was puzzled by her confidence. How can you fight the boss without leveling up? No matter how good your operation is, it will be useless!
"Of course not! According to Carlos' gym challenge rules, the challenger is required to send out no more than two Pokémon for the first badge. Although one is also OK, the gym will definitely send out students and use two Pokémon to fight... And did you forget that your Froggy is a water type and will be restrained by the electric type?" Guan Liyuan said helplessly. "
Huh? In this case, going north... The first town with a gym you arrive at is Tanigawa Town, and Tanigawa Gym is an electric gym! Let's go directly to the direction of Sala City. I don't really want to go to the Aromatherapy Gym." Serena said immediately.
Serena's personality is still introverted. For example, she immediately gave up the road to the north because of herself...
But Guan Liyuan said: "No, it's the same no matter which gym you encounter after departure. Before arriving at Guchuan Town, you will definitely capture other Pokémon. And if you go directly west, the first one you encounter is Jiangguan Town. Isn't the Jiangguan Gym also a water gym that restrains you?"
"That's right, is little Serena confident that she can get the badge against the attribute, but she doesn't have confidence in her sister?" Esther said deliberately. "Of course not
..."
Guan Liyuan didn't remind them specifically at this time. In fact, it's better not to rely too much on the initial three Pokémon in the first two badge battles! Although the
"three Pokémon" is a novice artifact, as long as you train it well, even if you become a king trainer in the later stage, you have the potential to be the main force, but... that's a matter for the later stage.
Because the "three Pokémon" have three evolutionary forms, they need to evolve twice to reach the final stage. Therefore, in the initial stage, the racial value is not strong, generally only over 300, and it must evolve at least once to be able to show it off.
On the contrary, many Pokémon that have only one form and have no evolution also have a racial value of about 400 at low levels.
This is also one of the reasons why some rookie trainers, who obviously have powerful starter Pokémon, ignore their training at the beginning.
"Let's decide it like this! Then go north first, all the way to Sala City... However, the north is mostly mountainous terrain, with many mountain forests and swamps. You must prepare some necessities for mountain and swamp areas in advance." Guan Liyuan said.
That's right, if Miare City goes north, it will gradually enter the mountain area in the northeast of Kalos. After going deep into the mountains, there will even be some deep mountains and old forests, where ghost-type Pokémon appear. It has the world's largest wild ghost-type Pokémon habitat-the habitat of ordinary ghost-type Pokémon is all abandoned buildings by humans.
In terms of travel conditions, going north is actually the hardest!
Although there are also avenues for public transportation, taking these avenues would make the travel training meaningless...
In addition, Guan Liyuan noticed that the northeastern mountainous area also has the most "forbidden areas", and most of them are not protected areas that require a certain number of badges, but absolute forbidden areas that are not allowed to be entered privately regardless of how many badges you have - because these areas are "alien beast" monitoring areas.
Of course, even in the monitoring area, the Kalos Alliance does not often find "alien beasts", but just allows ordinary trainers to enter and may be attacked by alien beasts.
There are also alliance cordons at the border of the restricted area, and there are also fragments of Zygarde monitoring. In theory, as long as you don't commit suicide by entering these "forbidden areas", there will be only a few alien beast attacks in a year.
"Mountains and swamps..." Esther and Serena were a little scared.
Guan Liyuan said at this time: "Well, let's divide the work in the wild first! I will be responsible for the daily cultivation of Pokémon, is there any problem?"
This is completely nonsense. Even a king-level cultivator would not think that he can do better than Guan Liyuan in this regard.
Although each trainer has to train his own Pokémon, it is better to have a dedicated trainer to take care of them in daily life and travel, just like when Xiaogang traveled with Xiaozhi, he served as a trainer.
"Then I can be responsible for cooking and setting up the campsite... I often help my mother cook at home, and I have also learned some knowledge of outdoor cooking and camping." Serena said.
Well, this is also Guan Liyuan's purpose-this way someone will be responsible for food and accommodation. He only needs to communicate more with the three Pokémon and use some training skills to have clothes and food, and no one will think that the trainer's task is easy.
As for Xiaogang's nanny who travels with salted fish and takes on all the tasks, it is actually not scientific...
In short, this is also to reflect the role of companions! Guan Liyuan thought so.
But Esther was a little embarrassed. She had also done a lot of homework in Pokémon training, but it was obviously hard to say that she could do better than Guan Liyuan. As for daily life... cooking is her weakness!
But asking Esther to do nothing was obviously not her character. After holding it in for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence: "I, I... I can be responsible for the night watch!"
