Chapter 472: Reviving Grass-type Glory, It's Our Duty!
Chapter 472: Reviving Grass-type Glory, It's Our Duty!
In general, the strength of a Pokemon in a Trainer's team often represents their status. However, this dynamic is slightly different in Jinghe's case.
Jinghe's impartiality ensures that even non-primary Pokemon like Rotom, the Aiguan siblings, and the Frost Milk Fairy don't seem much weaker than Gramps in their daily interactions.
In his team, it's not so much that strength determines status, but rather that abilities define it.
The difference between 'ability' and 'strength' is significant.
For instance, during the 'Lawless Squad's' operations, Gramps, with its wealth of experience and ingenious ideas, takes the lead as the boss.
But when it comes to crafting, Gigeng Guai's word is law, making Hammer Sister the boss.
However, when it came to finding minerals a few days ago, there was no doubt that Tyrogue's suggestions were the most useful.
In summary, the leadership role rotates, and tonight, it's at my place.
On his way home, Jinghe contemplated the future development of the younger Pokemon.
Gramps, Ice Nine-Tailed, Gigeng Guai, and Rapid Dragon are steadily improving, but they haven't reached the goals Jinghe initially set for them. The primary focus now is on Martial Bear Master and Flame Blade Ghost, who recently evolved, and the young Tyrogue.
Tyrogue is still young and will gradually learn with time. For now, his priority is to grow happily.
Martial Bear Master and Flame Blade Ghost are Pokemon capable of changing forms and even attributes, which means they have immense potential but also require more effort.
This also translates to a substantial investment of resources. Martial Bear Master's Fighting-type moves are sufficient for now, with Dark Strike and Waterfall as safety nets, along with Ambush and Water Pulse for mobility.
However, Martial Bear Master needs to diversify beyond Fighting, Dark, and Water types.
For instance, it's weak against Flying types, so moves like Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Rock Smash, and Rock Slide are essential for both close and long-range combat.
But Martial Bear Master's most significant weakness lies in Fairy types.
In its one-hit-KO form, it's four times weak to Fairy, and even in its combo form, it's still twice weak. Therefore, moves like Iron Head, Iron Defense, and Metal Claw are a must-learn.
Compared to Martial Bear Master, Flame Blade Ghost is the one with more significant gaps to fill.
During its time as Charcoal Servant, it could only learn a limited number of moves, mostly Fire-type, which was a bit too one-dimensional.
The only consolation for Jinghe is that both Flame Blade Ghost and Crimson Armor Knight share the same weaknesses: Ground, Rock, Ghost, Water, and Dark.
Teaching Flame Blade Ghost Water-type moves would be challenging, but Grass-type moves are feasible.
Flame Blade Ghost can learn Sunlight Blade, while Crimson Armor Knight can learn Energy Ball and Sunlight Beam, effectively covering Ground, Rock, and Water types.
However, the Technical Machines for Sunlight Blade and Sunlight Beam are not exactly cheap.
Without a Grass-type Pokemon to learn from, and with the difficulty of figuring it out from scratch, the task is not an easy one.
On the other hand, its Ghost and Dark-type weaknesses are more manageable.
Flame Blade Ghost can learn Spirit Tempt from Gramps, a powerful Ghost-type move that will synergize well with its tactical style.
Additionally, it can also learn Phantom Assault, a move that Gramps, the 'Little Giratina,' has already mastered.
In its Crimson Armor Knight form, it can also use Shadow Ball.
Learning these moves from Gramps will save a considerable amount of money.
As for Dark-type moves, Flame Blade Ghost can learn numerous Fighting-type moves, and Crimson Armor Knight has Wave Missile to rely on.
Furthermore, Crimson Armor Knight also needs to learn Mind Terrain and Area Power.
Jinghe couldn't help but look up. Even with the potential to learn from others, the auxiliary learning materials might still add up to a substantial sum.
Flame Blade Ghost will also need to invest significant energy and stamina.
"However, overall, the Grass-type moves Sunlight Blade and Sunlight Beam are more crucial for Flame Blade Ghost at this stage."
To learn these moves, they'll need to find someone to teach them.
While they could rely solely on Technical Machines, the progress would likely be slow, and for Flame Blade Ghost, which has a lot to learn, saving time and energy is ideal.
Jinghe searched his mind for Grass-type specialists among Trainers.
After some thought, he realized, "There's not a single Grass-type Grandmaster or Champion in the Pokemon world?"
Unfortunately, when they met Timburr, Charcoal Servant hadn't evolved yet.
"Speaking of which," Jinghe said, patting Flame Blade Ghost's shoulder with a heavy heart.
"Reviving Grass-type glory is our duty!"
Flame Blade Ghost: ??
Grass-type?
Me? "Gugu~~"
Gramps, with a white towel on its head, was the first to rush to the window, sticking its head out.
This startled the Muk Bird delivering a package, causing it to roll its eyes and almost faint on the spot.
"Hengga~" Gramps cheerfully greeted the Muk Bird and took the sizeable box from its back.
"Another delivery?" Jinghe asked, drying his wet hair with a towel after a shower to wash off the dust from training.
Gramps nodded, examining the box in his hands with curiosity.
"Gugu~~ (TT)"
A mournful cry echoed from outside the window.
Hmm? Jinghe removed his towel and looked at Gramps, who also had a white towel on its head, with a puzzled expression.
"You went to get the delivery like that?"
"Huh?"
Gramps scratched his behind.
What's wrong? Jing He sighed softly, removing the towel from his head and speaking earnestly, "Gramps, if you keep this up, no one will deliver parcels in this area anymore."
Huh? However, Jing He was used to it by now. He opened the box labeled "Lotom Department Store" and, surprisingly, took out a foldable portable bicycle!
"Loto...!"
Loto immediately sensed the special motor installed within.
After the fruit mixer, cleaning robot, barbecue robot, filming robot, and Pokedex robot, was he now adding the identity of a transportation robot to his repertoire?
As if reading its thoughts, Jing He smiled and said, "It's the latest model, and it can transform."
"Loto?!"
"Huh?!"
"Yo-ki?!"
Transform?! Ever since Flame Blade Ghost revealed its ability to transform, these three little guys could be said to have been "obsessed" with the idea of transformation.
They kept pestering Gigeng for help in crafting armor and machines.
Unexpectedly, Loto had indeed gained the ability to transform into a bicycle! Jing He revealed a meaningful smile, "The all-weather, all-terrain, self-adaptive Loto bicycle."
"It can satisfy all your needs, dear."
"Riding on my beloved little donkey, it will never get stuck in traffic~"
As the sun set in the west, Jing He, dressed casually, rode his bicycle leisurely down the road.
A leisurely stroll after dinner.
The gentle breeze caressed his face as the scenery of Kanaz City passed by, bringing an indescribable sense of contentment.
Gramps floated beside him, sometimes stopping to greet people at a shop, sometimes greeting passersby, and sometimes sitting on the back of the bicycle, completely at ease.
In the basket at the front of the bicycle, Tyrogue sat with his two little feet dangling, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, filled with curiosity.
"Turn left ahead, Loto!"
Loto's form appeared on the bicycle, guiding the direction.
However, Jing He didn't even glance at it and completely ignored its navigation, continuing on his path.
This bicycle, after receiving Loto's blessing, could travel a long distance with just a light pedal, and it didn't feel heavy at all.
With the special motor installed, as long as Loto had sufficient power, it not only made the ride more comfortable but also adapted to various complex terrains.
At the same time, its load capacity was at its maximum.
Otherwise, not to mention carrying Tyrogue and Gramps, just Tyrogue sitting at the front would be enough to make a regular bicycle immobile.
But at this moment, Jing He felt incredibly relaxed.
"Wrong, wrong, you have entered an alternative route and will take ten minutes longer."
"Loto, your map needs an update."
"Huh? Loto?"
Jing He gestured to the left, "Are you trying to make me crash into a wall?"
The left side was already blocked by a newly erected building.
"Huh?!"
Loto's voice rose a few notches.
Could Dewen Corporation build houses so quickly?
It had only been a few days. However, Jing He seemed to be in a good mood and didn't blame the little guy.
"Let's just stick to the main road and not take shortcuts."
After all, he had only come to test the quality of the bicycle.
"Okay, Loto."
Jing He patted Loto gently.
Ride Rayquaza?
Pfft—
How could Rayquaza compare to his bicycle?
From now on, he could finally lazily skate on ice.
Other bicycles couldn't do this; they would slip, but the Loto bicycle had no such problem.
Not only ice, but sand, forest, and mud—it was suitable for all terrains and weather conditions.
The price was painful, but it was worth every penny.
At least, in most situations, he wouldn't need Rapid Dragon's help to travel anymore.
Delightful.
As he rode past a square, rhythmic and high-pitched voices could be heard from within.
Jing He was taken aback.
Square dancing? There's square dancing in the Pokemon world too? Looking into the square, he saw a group of grandpas and grandmas dancing with a Boomboomerang and four or five Gugnoos.
"Huh."
Gramps watched with envy.
When can I show off my singing skills like that?
Jing He turned Gramps' head away.
"Don't get any ideas. If you start singing, these grandpas and grandmas won't be able to handle it."
Not to mention, if Gramps sang "Song of Ruin," out of the twenty or so people, only a few would be left breathing.
However, Jing He felt that Patin had a market among the elderly for singing.
A cure for insomnia!
It seemed promising.
After visiting the department store, the food street, and the battlefield, and experiencing the Loto bicycle, Jing He was satisfied and decided to keep it.
Although the price was indeed expensive, it was worth it as long as it was useful.
Before going to bed, Jing He received a few phone calls.
"Teacher Jing He, there's a meeting tomorrow at the League headquarters. Do you need a private jet?"
This call was from Bonnie, one of the Four Kings, and the meeting was mainly about Lava Team and Ocean Team.
"I do."
Another call came from the distant Kalos region, from Professor Platane.
"Jing He, I plan to hold a researcher conference. When do you think you'll be available?"
Mega Evolution remained one of the hottest topics.
