On both sides of the round table at the entrance of the hotel, the half-day battle ended, and Xiaozhi and the others finally felt at ease.
"The last two badges are left..."
Xiaozhi looked at the golden badge he just got during the day. There was a square hollow pattern carved in the middle - it was proof of defeating the battle palace and a symbol of spirit!
Each battle facility is a wonderful battle, and with the 7-day limit to clear the level... Yahida can already foresee how explosive his promotional video will be this time.
The next thing to do is to bring the last two battle facilities to a successful conclusion.
In coastal cities, compared with the hot sunny weather during the day, the temperature at night seems very comfortable.
Xiaozhi and the others were sitting at an open-air round table, with the not-so-bright lights shining down on them, and the evening breeze blowing, chatting about something.
There is not much traffic in the Battle Development Zone. Although it is a resort hotel, there are not many tourists.
There was obviously a large square ahead, but there was only their table, and a few scattered tables of tourists around it, which seemed quite deserted.
"Speaking of Xiaozhi, is that your newly conquered elf? I've never seen you use it."
After carefully importing all the daytime shooting materials into the hard drive, Yaxida stretched out, raised her head and asked curiously.
In the square in front of a few people, they saw a bird-shaped Pokémon the size of a fire chick running around, with colorful three-color feathers on its body.
It has an oval head and a row of rare beast teeth at the corners of its grinning mouth.
If you don't count the weird half-wings and half-arms...this Pokémon is more like a small dinosaur.
"Well, it's called Archeopteryx, and it's a fossil Pokémon from the Unova region."
Xiaozhi smiled and said, this is the Pokémon he got from Xiaomao before.
However, the Archeopteryx bird has not yet passed any training level, so it can be said that its combat effectiveness is basically equal to 0.
But Xiaozhi was not in a hurry to train, because there was another problem.
The characteristic of the ancestor bird is a very rare negative characteristic - weakness. When the physical value is reduced, it will become timid due to weakness, reducing its ability value.
In actual combat, it can be said to be a rather painful feature.
"But the characteristics can probably be changed...?"
Xiaozhi stared straight at the ancestor bird and suddenly said.
"Change characteristics?"
Yashida tilted her head in confusion.
As far as he knows, there are indeed some items that can change the characteristics of Pokémon.
For example, in the Galar region he had visited before, there was a prop called "Special Ointment" that could switch Pokémon's characteristics.
If the plaster is applied to Pikachu's back, it can switch Pikachu's electrostatic properties to lightning rod properties.
However, the prerequisite for this characteristic ointment to be effective is that the Pokémon's race must have at least two characteristics before it can be switched.
It is impossible to have a new feature out of nowhere.
"Does the Archeopteryx also have a second feature that can be switched...?"
Although he is not familiar with Pokémon such as Archeopteryx, according to Yashida's understanding, Pokémon with negative special characteristics generally have a single characteristic, right?
This can be regarded as a curse to their excellent qualities. Naturally, they cannot have a second characteristic.
For example, this is the case with their signature leave-taking king in the Fangyuan area.
Even if the whole body is plastered, the person who asks for leave will still be lazy.
So how did this ancestral bird change?
"Oh, I didn't say this, it was Chi..."
Just as Xiaozhi answered subconsciously, he suddenly stopped the car.
Although he seemed to be very familiar with Yaxida now, it was still inconvenient for Brother Chi’s existence to be exposed, so he could only quickly change his words:
"I thought of it when I was at Chifan~!"
Although the headlights were turned on outside the hotel, the light was still dim.
In the square not far away, there was not only one Archeopteryx bird at the moment.
"Geng Geng~!!"
But I saw a fat purple-black turtle, also very active, floating in the sky above the square.
It's Xiaozhi's old Kanto Gengar.
But I saw it flying in front of the ancestor bird, raising its chubby paws, pulling its eyes and mouth, sticking out its long and slender tongue, and making scary faces.
Coupled with the dim light around it, it is indeed a bit scary.
Especially the newly hatched Archeoptera bird, it was really a nightmare most of the night.
"Wuke...!!"
This frightened it so badly that it ran away in panic in the other direction.
"Geng Geng~!!"
However, in terms of speed, Gengar is faster than the former even with his legs tied up.
I saw it dive directly into the ground, flexibly shuttle between the physical land, and then rise out of thin air at the position where the ancestor bird escaped, making an eye-catching face again.
"Wu...?!"
The ancestor bird panicked and had no choice but to turn around and escape again.
The next scene was completely repetitive, with Gengar constantly wandering around the Archaic bird, making threatening faces to frighten the latter, just like a cat playing with its prey.
Not attacking, just playing there!
Gengar was having a great time, and his purple-black body was trembling along with it.
...
"So, are you practicing courage...?"
After watching for a long time, Yaxida finally realized what she was doing.
Does it mean that through courage training, the ancestor bird can become completely bold and get rid of the negative characteristic of weakness?
But it seems that this ancestral bird will also leave a terrible psychological shadow.
"If this continues, the Archeopteryx will always start to attack Gengar..."
Xiaozhi also stared in that direction closely and said.
Change the characteristics the day after tomorrow, this is Brother Chi's suggestion.
Of course it's impossible to do it in the game, but this world is not a game. Changing the characteristics... Chi doesn't think it's impossible.
Similar to lightning rods, it is impossible to change or master the essential characteristics of static electricity.
But if it is just a simple psychological trait of "weakness" or "laziness"... the difficulty of changing it will naturally be reduced a lot.
After all, as long as you make yourself truly bold mentally, you will naturally overcome your weakness.
And this kind of change, once the Pokémon starts to fight and becomes stronger, the difficulty of making the change will also increase exponentially...
At this moment, the ancestral bird has no fighting power and looks like a newborn. This is the most perfect period to change one's destiny against the will of heaven.
"The ancestor bird doesn't know any moves. If you want to get out of this predicament, you can only attack Gengar with your body..."
Once a normal physical attack successfully hits Gengar.
This also means that the characteristic of Archeopteryx will be transformed from "weakness" to "courage", which can also hit ghost Pokémon with normal-type moves.
Coupled with his excellent physical fitness that would even be cursed by God... the Archaeopteryx can definitely become his second fossil pterosaur!
