Using the Probe Eye, I checked his father's Dragonite. As expected of his father's strongest Pokémon, it was already Champion Stage Five, incredibly powerful.
To become a Champion, one must possess at least three Champion-level Pokémon. Currently, his father, Jiang Yuan, has two: Dragonite and Charizard.
As long as one more reaches Champion-level, he can challenge for the Champion title. His other Pseudo-Legendary, Salamence, is not far from breaking through to Champion.
Not long after his father returned, his mother also came back.
"Son, tomorrow you officially register to become a Trainer. Tell me if there are any Pokémon you want, and I'll get them for you."
Xie Yulan looked at Jiang Chen with doting eyes. Although Xie Yulan was very strong when facing his father and outsiders, when it came to Jiang Chen, she was a loving mother.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, and in this life, he finally experienced the warmth of a family.
"Can you help me get a Riolu?"
He has Aura Power. If he doesn't have a Riolu by his side, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?
"Brat, you're not holding back," Jiang Yuan glared at Jiang Chen.
Riolu isn't a Pseudo-Legendary, but it's too rare. The difficulty of obtaining it is even higher than a Pseudo-Legendary.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xie Yulan scolded Jiang Yuan, and immediately, Jiang Yuan wilted. If this scene got out, his reputation as a Dragon-type Elite Four Member would be ruined.
Who would have thought that the famous Dragon-type Elite Four Member was actually henpecked?
"Although Riolu is hard to get, your mom will definitely get one for you. Even if I can't, your dad can."
Xie Yulan glanced at Jiang Yuan.
"It might not be difficult to get an ordinary Riolu; I still have that much capability. But a Riolu with good potential is hard to come by," Jiang Yuan said to Jiang Chen.
A Pokémon's innate potential determines its upper limit.
And discerning a Pokémon's innate potential, even the top professors wouldn't dare to be 100% sure; they don't have Jiang Chen's Probe Eye.
They can only roughly estimate based on the Pokémon's physique and its parents.
If a Pokémon's parents have strong potential, then their offspring will definitely not be bad.
"Dad, when will your Charizard find a mate and lay an egg?"
A Charizard with Champion potential, even its worst offspring would have at least Elite Four potential.
"Do you think I don't want to find it a mate? The problem is, it doesn't want one itself. As a Trainer, you must respect your Pokémon's wishes."
"Also, you need to learn to catch Pokémon yourself and stand at the peak with your own strength."
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. It would be foolish not to use the family's resources."
Xie Yulan slapped Jiang Yuan on the shoulder.
Jiang Yuan was so beaten that he lost his temper. What could he do? This was his wife. She was incredibly gentle with their son, giving him whatever he wanted, but with him, she was like a tigress.
Jiang Chen fully agreed with his mother. If you have resources and don't use them, but choose to struggle instead, there must be something wrong with your head.
"Son, what other Pokémon do you want?" Xie Yulan asked Jiang Chen again.
"Beldum, I guess."
Because of the Mystic Plate, Jiang Chen's priority right now is to obtain a Psychic-type.
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. "Do you think Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon are cabbages? Beldum's final evolution is Metagross, a rare Pseudo-Legendary."
"You want to focus on Steel-type?"
Riolu is Fighting-type, and evolves into Lucario which is Fighting/Steel. Metagross is Steel/Psychic, so Jiang Yuan thought Jiang Chen wanted to train Steel-type Pokémon.
"No, I don't want to focus on a single type. Just like you, you're completely countered by Ice-type."
Jiang Yuan's six ace Pokémon are: Dragonite, Charizard, Salamence, Gyarados, Pidgeot, and Flygon.
Ice-type counters Dragon-type and Flying-type. Dragonite is Dragon/Flying-type, so Ice-type moves deal four times damage. Salamence has the same types as Dragonite, Dragon/Flying.
Pidgeot is Normal/Flying, also countered by Ice-type. Flygon is Ground/Dragon, also takes four times damage because Ground-type is also countered by Ice-type.
Fortunately, Charizard and Gyarados, because they have Fire and Water types, respectively, take half damage from Ice-type moves, so these two with Flying-type attributes are not countered by Ice-type, but Ice-type moves still deal normal damage to them.
"So what if I'm completely countered by Ice-type? The Ice-type Elite Four Member can't beat me."
Jiang Yuan raised his head proudly.
"That's because their Pokémon aren't strong enough. With equal strength, they'd wipe the floor with you."
Type-disadvantage battles are very damaging. Even if Dragonite is tough and can take hits, it can't withstand Ice-type moves that deal four times damage.
Before the Fairy type was discovered, the Ice type was the designated counter to the Dragon type.
Especially Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp, these three formidable Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, Ice-type attacks deal four times damage to them.
However, this doesn't change the Dragon type's dominant position, and even if the Fairy type is discovered, the Dragon type's status will be hard to shake.
Dragon-type moves deal no damage to Fairy-types, but other types of moves can be used.
The key is that most Fairy-types are cute creatures. Besides Legendary Pokémon, there aren't many Fairy-types that can truly fight.
Only Togekiss, Sylveon, Gardevoir, Florges, and Alolan Ninetales are relatively good. Among them, Alolan Ninetales is the one Jiang Chen wants most. That's the real Dragon-type counter.
Ice-type plus Fairy-type, it completely counters Dragon-type in terms of typing.
Jiang Chen's rebuttal left Jiang Yuan speechless. When he sparred with the Ice-type Elite Four Member, he indeed won by relying on the overall strength of his Pokémon, and it was a very difficult win.
"Beldum, huh? Since my son wants it, I'll definitely get it for you."
"Mom, don't push yourself too hard. I have ways even if you can't get it."
Jiang Chen said to Xie Yulan.
He still has the system. At worst, he can buy a Pokémon Egg from the system. Compared to an already evolved Metagross, a Pokémon Egg is still cheaper.
"How could I not get it? You underestimate your mom's abilities."
From childhood to adulthood, her son has been so sensible and never asked for anything. How could she not get him two Pokémon?
Even if she couldn't get them, Jiang Yuan could. Don't underestimate the power of an Elite Four Member.
And Jiang Yuan is one of the best among all Elite Four Members.
"What Pokémon are you planning to choose tomorrow?"
Jiang Yuan inquired.
As an Elite Four Member, he was usually very busy. The reason he came back was to ask about Jiang Chen's plans.
"Hard to say."
Originally, Jiang Chen had planned to choose a Charmander. His father had a Champion-level Charizard, so he could pass on his experience in raising Charmander.
But now with the Probe Eye, Jiang Chen would naturally choose the one with high potential. He would choose whoever has the highest potential.
"After you become a Pokémon Trainer, you must learn to be decisive. Hesitation will make it difficult to succeed."
Jiang Yuan thought Jiang Chen was indecisive, so he reminded him.
As a Trainer, one must never be indecisive, especially in battle, otherwise, no matter how talented their Pokémon are, it will be difficult to reach the peak.
