After two consecutive months of physical training under the Gravity field, the effects were naturally much better compared to ordinary training.
The most exhausted one was naturally Golett. It first needed to create the Gravity field, then it also had to enter the field itself for rolling training. After the Gravity field disappeared, it still had to continue creating another one.
Of course, this kind of training could only be conducted for eight or nine hours a day. High-intensity training brought high efficiency and high returns.
They arrived at the seaside. It was secluded and the terrain was broad enough for Tetsuya's Pokémon to fully display the results of their training.
"Piloswine, you go first. Freely exhibit your full power."
Piloswine moved its four limbs and sprinted along the seaside with all its might. Everywhere it passed, snowflakes flew chaotically, leaving a vast blanket of snow behind it. At this moment, a thin layer of ice had already formed along the edge of the seawater.
That move sets of Blizzard was once again unleashed by Piloswine. Whether in momentum or power, especially the terrifying bone-piercing cold, everything had greatly improved. Moreover, supported by its powerful physical condition, when reaching the [Blizzard Vortex] stage, Piloswine actually still had enough energy remaining to use Avalanche and Icicle Crash to smash down from the sky.
Even Tetsuya was amazed. In this way, the power of this move combination was simply unbelievable. It had practically fused together all of Piloswine's Ice-type moves. The scale and momentum were unprecedented.
Now, regarding his Piloswine's Ice-type energy control ability, aside from Legendary Pokémon, perhaps only Pryce's Delibird could compare.
From his previous life, Tetsuya clearly understood the capabilities of Elite Four level Pokémon. Among the Pokémon currently in his possession, the only one he could confirm had already surpassed Elite Four capabilities was Piloswine, at leas in one aspect.
Right now, only one-third of the Eternal Ice had been licked away, yet it already possessed such ability…
Once Piloswine completely absorbed the Eternal Ice in the future and evolved into Mamoswine, just how powerful it would become was something Tetsuya hardly dared imagine.
As for Golett, if all of the energy within its body were fully unsealed, he did not know what level its strength would reach. These things could only be verified through time.
Naturally, Tetsuya hoped Golett could also possess power surpassing the Elite Four. Hopefully, the standards of that ancient tribe would not disappoint him.
After two months of training, the energy within Golett had already covered its entire body with two layers, doubling both its offense and defense.
Although Haunter could absorb the vitality of Psychic Pokémon to strengthen its psychic power, what increased was only psychic power. One had to know that many Psychic-type Pokémon possessed incredibly powerful psychic capabilities, yet their overall strength was merely average. Therefore, although Haunter's level could now stand shoulder to shoulder with Piloswine, it would still be very difficult for its future growth potential to surpass the Elite Four level.
Of course, Haunter merely reaching Elite Four level would already be enough. After all, in the future Haunter would become a part of his body, meaning that he himself… would possess the strength of an Elite Four level Pokémon!
For a human to possess such power… Tetsuya could completely run rampant through this world without fear. Even Pokémon themselves would not be frightening, because Pokémon capable of reaching Champion level were exceedingly rare even in this world.
'Of course, nothing is free… sigh, I don't know what it will cost me, or if I'll even know the cost…'
As for Ditto, it could only be left to fate. Reaching Elite Four level was almost impossible for it, but from his previous life he still knew several elite Trainers who used Ditto. Of course, its primary function was still disguise. Even a person's facial structure could be freely changed through Ditto's abilities.
Unfortunately, this was not an ability he possessed himself…
In Tetsuya's previous life, the only person capable of this "ability" was Team Magma's "The Man of a Thousand Faces¹[1]", Brodie. His training also originated from near Sunnytown in the Kanto Region.
Brodie had a kouhai who was also his sensei's daughter named Duplica, and in Tetsuya's previous life she was the one who brought Brodie to justice, becoming a top-tier International Police officer.
'House of Imite…'
For the sake of improving Ditto's abilities, and also for conveniently handling certain… matters, in the future, this was still a place he found necessary to visit.
Beedrill had now already completed the first step of "integration". Two months of Gravity training had also greatly improved its physical condition. Its flying speed could already rival flight under Agility. Although the number of Double Team clones had already reached its limit and would no longer increase, the switching speed between the clones had improved greatly.
During the next phase of systematic training, Beedrill would begin focus and attack speed training.
The final stage would be training instantaneous explosive power. Beedrill's growth cycle was extremely fast!
…But its decline was also very fast, and its lifespan was only around twelve years. All of these factors limited Beedrill's capabilities. Although it could reach Elite Four level, it would only remain at that level for three or four years.
Among Bug-type Pokémon capable of reaching Champion level, the ones Tetsuya knew from his previous life were Team Rocket boss Giovanni's monstrous Beedrill, and the Unova Champion Alder's Volcarona. However, Volcarona was praised as the "Rage of The Sun", "Deity of Fire" or even "Embodiment of the Sun", so naturally its potential could not be compared with ordinary Bug-types.
The Ariados from his previous life was the same as Beedrill. Lifespan limited their abilities, though naturally their growth was very fast. That was why in his previous life Tetsuya had chosen such a Pokémon.
If it were for long-term development, he would never choose Ariados or Beedrill as his main force, unless he could find a method to extend Pokémon lifespans like Giovanni. However, the cost was certainly enormous. Otherwise, why would Giovanni not mass-produce methods for extending Beedrill or othes Bug-types lifespans, instead only using that single Beedrill from his childhood?
Houndoom originally already possessed great power and abundant battle experience. What it lacked was only systematic training. Now Tetsuya had gradually complemented all of this training for Houndoom.
All of Houndoom's capabilities were improving, and the number of Double Team clones had increased to twelve, naturally increasing the power of its surrounding assaults as well. That moves set of "[Blightfire Assault]" had also become its first signature move.
Moreover, as Houndoom's bite force gradually strengthened, its Poison Gland also became more "matured", and the toxins hidden within its flames increased more and more, already showing a trend toward developing into "poison fire".
This Houndoom's capabilities still had the potential to develop to Elite Four level. If it wanted to break through further, that would exceed his own capacities…
If Tetsuya were to obtain an Elite Four Position and use the convenience of his status to search for ancient Houndoom training records, then further improvement would not be impossible.
---◓---
At the seaside, Tetsuya evaluated the strength of all of his Pokémon once more and rested for a day in passing.
On the third day, he continued heading toward the poisonous forest.
His objective was naturally to cross straight through the forest.
Spring returned to the land, all things revived, and it was once again the season of mating…
Entering the forest once again, it was far from as quiet as before. All kinds of restless sounds rang out endlessly.
