Shiny Beldum, Champion Ranked!
Any point of this will make countless Trainers scratch their heads, and when two points come together, it's enough to cause madness!
Beldum, the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, is extremely valuable. As for Shiny Beldum, its value will multiply several times, making it one in a million.
Bruce silently recalled the information about Beldum and suddenly felt that it was extraordinarily heavy.
Beldum is indeed a bit heavy; its cells are all magnets, and the magnetic force emitted by its body and the Earth's magnetic force repel each other, allowing it to float in the air.
"Chirp?" Torchic looked at the Beldum in front of him, its dark eyes blinking and filled with curiosity.
"It will be our partner from now on," Bruce said with a smile.
"Chirp~"
Torchic nodded thoughtfully, then opened its mouth and spat out a series of sparks as a gesture of goodwill.
"Boom!" Beldum emitted a muffled sound and looked at Torchic with its large red eyes, as if responding to Torchic's proposals.
The two Pokémon began to communicate amicably, and Bruce started to study Beldum's data panel.
"As expected of a champion rank." Given that Beldum is in the condition of the Dervishes' Contest, it can learn very few skills, but it turns out that Beldum masters these skills. This is the metamorphosis of the champion rank.
In fact, this also demonstrates from an external point of view that starter Pokémon cannot be pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Their development cycle is too long, and they lack sufficient competitiveness in the early stage, which often delays the Trainer's development speed.
At this stage, Beldum's species strength is lower than Torchic's; its skill pool is scarce and its attack surface small, which is not conducive to battle.
"This Beldum is precious." At that moment, William's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bruce's thoughts.
"Your grandfather paid a lot to capture it." Bruce fell silent.
Immediately, William smiled, gave Bruce a light pat on the shoulder, and said, "Do you know why he chose Beldum?"
"Because Beldum's final form, Metagross, has more computational power than a Mega Computer; it's the right hand of Pokémon researchers."
Bruce lowered his gaze, and some information about Metagross appeared in his mind. Metagross is composed of two Metangs and processes information in parallel with four brains. Its IQ is extremely high, and any calculation only takes a moment.
"So, whether you want to become a Pokémon researcher or a Trainer, we will unconditionally support you," William continued.
Bruce's eyes sparkled; he was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "How do you train a Psychic?"
"The psychic training method for Beldum is very simple and focuses on development in the early stage and control in the later stage." Seeing that Bruce looked somewhat puzzled, William smiled and explained carefully: "The Beldum species has great potential, and now we just have to let it develop on its own."
"When the development reaches a certain level, the magnetic force in its body will become stronger, and then you can begin to use that magnetic force to control objects and launch attacks." Bruce nodded, understanding what William meant. Metagross, as a Pokémon, is dominated by the Steel type and complemented by the Psychic type. Its physical attack value is much higher than its special attack value, meaning that Steel-type skills are its primary means of production. As for Psychic, it's more of a support.
Bruce already had some ideas in mind, but still looked at William and asked, "So, how do we train our Psychic?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Bruce's question, William expressed slight surprise, his eyes sparkling with wonder, and then he lightly lifted the corner of his mouth and murmured, "Finally, you asked me..."
Meeting Bruce's curious gaze, William clenched his right fist and coughed lightly near his mouth.
"Before discussing the psychic training methods, we must understand the two main psychic schools in Avalon," William said slowly, hands behind his back.
"There are two formal psychic dojos in Avalon: the northern dojo in the main capital and the southern dojo in the Metropolis capital.
"These two dojos are dedicated to creating powerful psychics, but there are differences in their specific training processes that lead to frequent conflicts." "The north focuses on practice, while the south focuses on enlightenment."
William's eyes flickered as if he was recalling something, and he continued: "To be specific, the Northern Dojo believes that to grow a psychic, one must persist in training day and night, using a series of training methods, such as Confusion Imperial Objects, etc."
"The southern ashrams are different. They pay attention to the mountains and rivers, understanding the true meaning of the psychic in nature and progressing."
Bruce suddenly nodded, grasping the central concepts of the two dojos. "Your grandfather used to study in these two dojos and then made some improvements himself, which is how I have the dojo now."
"Your grandfather's philosophy is to focus on training, complemented by enlightenment." Bruce couldn't help but interject and ask, "Won't this be considered heresy?"
William chuckled, shook his head, and said, "We are a gym; the main purpose is to receive challengers, the scale is small, and the apprentices do not influence us." "The dojo is different. They pay attention to the master-apprentice system and the transmission of inheritance from generation to generation, which is much more rigorous than ours." "Therefore, there is no conflict between us and the two ashrams." "Well, having said all this, let me tell you how to train a psychic." William clapped his hands and began to explain to Bruce in detail the psychic training method.
This is confidential and cannot be shown here.
...
After William left, Bruce stood there thinking for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Bruce turned his head to look at Beldum, who was playing with Torchic, and said, "Beldum."
"Boom-dong?"
Beldum turned around and looked at Bruce with its big red eyes, a clear sense of confusion evident. "Use Zen Headbutt on me."
"!! Bum bum!!" Hearing this, Beldum shook its round head desperately. Seeing this, Bruce chuckled and said, "That's fine; I have psychic power too." As the words hit the ground, Bruce's eyes shone blue, and his whole body radiated waves of confusion.
"Boom?" Beldum tilted its head and looked at Bruce with some doubt. "Come on, use Zen Headbutt on me," Bruce said again.
"Boom~"
Beldum shook its head, determined not to get entangled any further. Its gaze froze, blue fluctuations flickering in its red eyes, and then a blue ray shot out from its eyes instantly, rushing towards Bruce!
Bruce's eyes remained unchanged; confusion enveloped his whole body, forming a blue barrier, like a clay cow entering the sea. The blue light ray disappeared the moment it touched the barrier.
"Boom-dong?" Beldum's eyes widened in surprise.
Bruce looked at Beldum slightly, always feeling that this Beldum was a bit naive. "However, my Psychic is undoubtedly much stronger than the current Beldum, at least comparable to ordinary psychic Pokémon," Bruce thought to himself.
"So let's begin training."
