The Chapter get Retranslated
Choosing a pseudo-legendary was a bit of a dilemma. Pseudo-legendaries were generally strong in both offense and defense, far surpassing ordinary Pokémon.
His choice paralysis kicked in, so he used the elimination method, first ruling out Goodra.
Among pseudo-legendaries, Goodra was the only pure Dragon-type. If it had a Water typing, it would be great, eliminating its Ice weakness.
Combined with the Dragon type's resistance to Electric, Electric wouldn't be a weakness either, making it absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, Goodra was simply a Dragon-type.
However, Jiang Chen also couldn't stand the sticky goo of Goodra.
Choosing Goodra would mean taking eight baths a day.
Hydreigon was good. Although it wasn't pretty, its Special Attack was the highest among pseudo-legendaries.
But after some consideration, Jiang Chen ultimately chose the Ground/Dragon-type Garchomp.
Honestly, he wanted Hydreigon, Garchomp, and Tyranitar, but he could only choose one, so of course, he chose the one he liked most among the three.
"Mom, I choose Garchomp."
With Garchomp chosen, now he just had to wait for a Gible Pokémon Egg to be delivered.
"Garchomp is indeed a good choice," Xie Yulan nodded.
There were no bad pseudo-legendaries, including Goodra. There was also Kommo-o, which replaced Goodra's "pseudo-legendary disgrace" status upon its appearance, after all, reality isn't a game.
In games, data dictated everything, but real-life battles weren't that simple.
However, Fighting/Dragon-types had many weaknesses. They were weak to Flying, Dragon, Ice, Fairy, and Psychic, with Fairy-type moves dealing four times the damage, making battles very disadvantageous.
"With the League's speed, it won't be too slow. It'll probably be delivered in about three days."
"Ning Ya told me you're planning to go into the wild to catch Pokémon tomorrow?" Xie Yulan inquired.
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded; he had indeed mentioned it to Ning Ya before.
"Come out, Alakazam."
A yellow bipedal humanoid Pokémon appeared before Jiang Chen, with a long mustache and holding two spoons.
"I'm worried about your safety, so let Alakazam follow you. Alakazam, protect your young master," Xie Yulan instructed Alakazam.
This Pokémon was one of Xie Yulan's main forces, with Elite Four Rank 9 strength.
"Alright, thank you, Mom."
Jiang Chen knew that if he refused, his mom would definitely be worried, which was also her way of showing concern.
"I'm your mother, why thank me? You're going into the wild tomorrow, so get some rest early."
Xie Yulan handed Alakazam's Poké Ball to Jiang Chen.
"After Mega Evolution, Alakazam's Special Attack is among the highest for non-legendary Pokémon. I'll also train an Alakazam in the future."
Looking at Alakazam, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Alakazam's Special Attack and Speed were both terrifying, its only flaw being its frail body.
With the Mystic Slate, Jiang Chen could definitely train the strongest Alakazam.
"Alakazam, come here."
Waving his hand, Alakazam floated over to Jiang Chen. It felt something on Jiang Chen attracting it, something that seemed to make it stronger.
Jiang Chen took out the Mystic Slate hanging around his neck.
"I know you've reached your limit, but this slate might help you break that limit. Experience it thoroughly."
Among his mom's Pokémon, the strongest in battle was Dragonite, which his dad gave her. However, the first Pokémon to follow his mom was Alakazam.
Alakazam couldn't break through to Champion level because of a talent restriction. The Mystic Slate could break this restriction, and he wondered if Alakazam could succeed.
Alakazam also felt the benefits of the slate. Floating beside the slate, Alakazam closed its eyes.
The stronger the Pokémon, the more benefits it gained from the Mystic Slate. This was his mom's Pokémon, considered family, so Jiang Chen also hoped it could break the barrier and reach Champion level.
At this moment, the Mystic Slate emitted a dazzling light, and Ralts and Beldum also seemed to be affected.
Of course, the effect was positive.
Even Jiang Chen benefited, his mental power greatly increasing, and his Aura Power greatly enhanced.
Unconsciously, Jiang Chen fell asleep. Dragonite and Squirtle were unaffected. They looked at Jiang Chen worriedly. Dragonite found that Jiang Chen's breathing was steady and he was just asleep, which relieved it.
The next day, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, raised his hand, and Aura Power converged into a sphere in his hand.
"I can use Aura Sphere?"
Thankfully, Jiang Chen managed to control his excitement and didn't release it casually, or his room would need redecorating.
Jiang Chen glanced at Ralts and Beldum. Using his Probe Eye, he found that Ralts's strength had increased from Ordinary Rank 4 to Ordinary Rank 7.
Beldum's strength increased from Ordinary Rank 5 to Ordinary Rank 8. With the Pokémon's strength increase, Jiang Chen once again gained six hundred points.
"With the assistance of the Mystic Slate, strength progress is indeed a bit terrifying."
Jiang Chen glanced at Squirtle, feeling a bit sorry for it. It worked so hard to raise its strength to Ordinary Rank 2, while Ralts and Beldum just 'lied to win.'
"Looks like you succeeded, Alakazam."
He used his Probe Eye to examine Alakazam.
[Alakazam]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Four Rank 9
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Psychic
Ability: Magic Guard
Moves: Psychic, Teleport, Psybeam, Psycho Cut, Recover, Future Sight...
Its strength hadn't broken through, but its talent had changed from Elite Four to Champion. This meant Alakazam now had the qualification to break through to Champion.
However, it would still take time to break through to Champion.
Alakazam looked at Jiang Chen with affection. It also knew that the thing that had been restricting it had been broken, and all this was brought about by Jiang Chen.
Of course, affection was one thing, but this didn't mean Alakazam would betray its master and follow Jiang Chen. One should not underestimate a Pokémon's loyalty.
"Good luck. I hope you can break through to Champion."
The strength gap between a Champion and an Elite Four was immense. A Champion Rank 1 Pokémon could defeat six Elite Four Rank 9 Pokémon; even tied together, they wouldn't be a match.
