Using the Electro ability allows the Minks to better grasp Magnet Rise; compared to other types of moves, Electric-type moves are more compatible with the Minks. So, Minks are the race that can maximize the power of Electric-type moves.
Ordinary Minks consume less energy when using Magnet Rise than other races, not to mention these two children who had inherited Zeraora's abilities.
After putting away her diary, Setsuna tidied up the table and also came outside, then headed in the direction of Onigashima.
"You two should work harder, only after evolving into your final forms can you fully unleash Lord Arceus's power."
"But Lord Arceus said we've already made a lot of progress."
"Yeah, I heard that back then it took Uncle Mandrell a long time to evolve, we're already pretty fast."
In two years, Meowna and Wolff evolved from Sprigatito and Litten into Floragato and Torracat. With regards to the Ability Users, this evolution speed is indeed not slow, but their point of comparison was quite special.
"Don't compare yourselves to Mandrell, his evolution... how should I put it, what he lacked wasn't strength, but that opportunity. But even he couldn't explain clearly whether that opportunity was Kojiro's kick or his own inner rage."
They are both family people, so Mandrell has more common topics with the couple and understands each other better.
"But Uncle Mandrell has spent more time fighting outside."
"But we haven't. Why don't you take us along next time on a mission? I heard Zou Island often gets harassed."
The brother and sister have an extremely high level of tacit understanding; they can clearly express their thoughts even if each only says half a sentence.
"Alright then, next time your dad can take you with him. That way, you'll get a taste of how cruel the world really is."
The family talked about their future plans as they walked toward Onigashima; even though they all possessed the ability to fly, they were still used to walking. This was also the habit of most people. Even King and Shayna wouldn't choose to fly unless it was absolutely necessary.
This was completely different from some creatures that have no capability to fly and can only walk.
Onigashima.
Three Alcremie were sitting together playing a game of aeroplane chess. They were the Alcremie of Jack, Maria, and Yamato. They had lived together since childhood, but as their owners grew older, the time they could spend together gradually decreased.
Maria and Yamato's Alcremie spent most of their time together, but Jack's Alcremie often accompanied him on his outings. Especially over the past two years, Jack had been constantly out fighting to train himself, so their time together was even less.
This was a small game that belonged to Alcremie. The game board was made of cream, and the pieces were made of Sweet generated from their own bodies. While playing, they would even eat the chess pieces, which were made of cookies and Berries.
At this moment, Jack's Alcremie was especially happy, after all, its partner had achieved his goal.
But as the person involved, Jack was now facing a dilemma.
His Alcremie had gone to gather with its kind, and now that he had lost his external brain, he urgently needed a solution - how to comfort a little girl.
"You hit my dad, you're a bad person."
"We were just sparring, and I got hurt too."
Actually, Jack's promotion battle had already ended long ago. The banquet had been delayed just so that Jack, Mandrell, and Setsuna could recover from their injuries.
No matter how you look at it, Jack's promotion was a good thing for the Beasts Pirates, but they can't have all the participants attending while still injured.
Their earlier fight had been extremely fierce; the rigid requirement for a Calamity was strength as enemies wouldn't show mercy at critical moments. So, Mandrell and Setsuna both fought at full power.
Under such conditions, injuries were inevitable. Especially since Arceus was present to prevent accidents, they didn't hold back at all when they fought. Aside from not doing sit-ups, they used every move they could.
Although the spring water on the Sacred Mountain has excellent healing effects, they still needed some time to recover.
Meowna and Wolff had long become accustomed to the daily life on Onigashima; there was even a period when Yamato, covered in bandages, would come look for them to play every day. In their view, getting injured during sparring was completely normal.
But Maylo was different. She grew up on Mandrell's small island and was also younger.
"I don't care. You hit my dad."
Right now, her understanding of the world was still in the stage where she believed her father was omnipotent. This battle caused her impression of Jack to nosedive, so when she saw Jack again, she came straight over to criticize him.
"I.."
He was good at fighting, but coaxing children was a complete blind spot for him. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't care, but Maylo was Mandrell's daughter.
Back then, when Onigashima had a stronger female presence, Jack and Mandrell had a very close relationship. Even now, that hadn't changed, which is why he was so conflicted.
Fortunately, at that moment, Alcremie noticed Jack's awkward situation and bounced over from the side. After climbing back up onto Jack's head, it gave him a solution.
"How about this, you can hit me. Just treat it as revenge for Brother Mandrell. I won't fight back."
As he spoke, Jack lowered his head as much as he could.
Mandrell hadn't trained his daughter to become a fighter. It was just that this world is extremely unfriendly to the weak, so he had always let her train her physique. Among ordinary children of her age, she was considered outstanding.
But even so, the size difference between Maylo and Jack was too great. She couldn't even reach his knees when she jumped.
Not only did Jack have to refrain from retaliating, he also had to control his own body. Otherwise, just the reflexive muscle response from his body could hurt Maylo's small hand.
"Are you serious? I practice karate with Dad every day, you know."
"Mm, go ahead."
Looking at Maylo's stance, Jack put on a serious expression. Although the form looked proper, Jack could tell at a glance that Maylo had only learned the posture so far.
"Hah!"
When Mandrell arrived, he happened to see his daughter throwing a punch, while Jack cooperatively fell to the ground, and the shockwaves from his body's weight actually made Maylo bounce into the air.
Without considering the actual facts, Maylo had achieved an extremely exaggerated record in her life. Following Olga's two and a half victories over Red Hair, she, still in early childhood, had taken down the newly promoted Fourth Calamity.
"Daddy, I avenged you!"
Looking at his daughter's excited expression, Mandrell didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected Jack to cooperate to such an extent. After calming down his daughter with a few words, he sent her to Rusalka, and then came back to find Jack again.
"Jack, you brat... Wait no, I guess now I should be calling you 'Brother.'"
"Don't joke around, Brother Mandrell. You'll always be my big brother."
