“Goohoo.”
Boscodor raised its paw and shook its head. It didn't feel uncomfortable, it just felt a little tired suddenly.
Dunjia felt a little terrified when he saw it panting.
Is it so tiring to learn the moves?
Well, it is tiring, but it shouldn’t be so tiring after using it just once. What’s going on?
Donjia's limited brain capacity was almost confused by Boskodora.
Miaomiao also felt a little puzzled. He used to think that Boskodora was a little scary, but now he just thought - could this thing be a silver-plated gun head?
Both Pokémon have extremely complex expressions and emotions.
As a trainer, Zheye didn't think too much about it and said with concern: "Why don't we go to the Pokémon Center to check it out? It's safer this way!"
"……Can!"
Kashiwagi responded.
Instead of guessing here, why not go to the Pokémon Center and check it out?
But this change seems to be related to imitation vanilla. Could it be that the correct way to use imitation vanilla is not to eat it? Is the method described in Dr. Kukui's paper wrong?
wrong.
This kind of situation where students learn something in one go was not mentioned in Dr. Kukui's paper. Instead, students learned the skill gradually over several days.
Kashiwagi was in a state of confusion. He consoled Boskodora softly and put it away.
Suddenly there was a beeping sound nearby.
He looked sideways and saw that it was Zhe who had come from somewhere riding an electric tricycle, the kind used to collect vegetables from the countryside and transport them to the city to sell. Miaomiao was sitting next to the tricycle, and Dunjia had probably been taken back.
"boarding!"
"Oh!"
Kashiwagi jumped into the truck bed, thinking that this was most likely the tricycle that Tetsuya's family used to purchase goods.
Not long after.
Arrived at the nearby Pokémon Center.
He handed the Boskodora to the smiling Miss Joy and sat down in front of Tetsuya with a slightly frown on his face.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Boskodora will be fine." The latter comforted.
"Ah? Um..."
Kashiwagi nodded in response and said, "It may be due to the fatigue from the previous gym battle, but it may also be related to imitating Vanilla. Under normal circumstances, my Boskodora should not be able to learn the Double-Edged Headbutt so easily."
If it was the three-headed dragon, maybe there might be a chance, but your own Pokémon knows it best.
Boskodora is one of those Pokémon that has a poor learning ability and always learns the wrong moves. He was supposed to learn Rock Slide at first, but it turned out to be Rock Block; he wanted to learn Earthquake but he learned Stomp; he wanted to learn Power Slam but he learned 100,000 Horsepower... and so on.
The only time when it went relatively smoothly was probably the Dragon Dive move, which was based on the competitive mentality with the single-headed dragon.
"Imitating vanilla..."
Zhe was quite emotional. He was a trainer who absolutely did not believe in this kind of "external force", but he would not comment on other people's actions unless it was an absolutely intolerable mistake.
Kashiwagi silently took out his cell phone and searched again for content related to imitating vanilla. He also sent an email to Professor Kukui through Porygon 2 about Boskodora's situation.
however.
No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any vanilla-like usage where he could learn the moves in one go.
Specificity...huh?
This word emerged in Kashiwagi's mind. As a synonym for miracle, Pokémon can occasionally make moves beyond common sense. This is reflected in many of Xiaozhi's Pokémon.
Whether it's the Golden King Swallow born under 100,000 volts, or the Infernape that locks blood after triggering a fierce fire, or even Ash's Pikachu that explodes multiple times, they are all synonymous with specificity without exception.
Even itself is a member of the specificity.
"Happy~"
Nurse Happiny came over to say hello, pushing a cart with the medical examination report and the Poké Ball containing Boskodora on it, and said that Miss Joy asked him to be at the front desk.
"Ok."
Kashiwagi took the medical examination report and the Poké Ball and walked to the front desk to listen to Miss Joy's explanation.
Tetsuya stayed in his original position, swallowing his saliva and looking at him worriedly. As a trainer himself, he could understand the situation of being worried when a Pokémon has problems, so he felt empathy for him for a moment.
soon.
Kashiwagi returned from the front desk. His tense expression had become relaxed, and he said softly:
"...It was just a false alarm. I just consumed a lot of my physical strength and attribute energy in an instant, which turned into fatigue and suddenly exploded. Miss Joy said that it is recommended to rest for two days."
"Great!"
Zhe also relaxed and took a sip of the water cup in front of him. "But it consumed a lot of physical strength and attribute energy instantly? The double-edged head hammer should not have been hit, right? And your Boskodora should have a hard head?"
"Indeed, perhaps it is a side effect of imitating vanilla."
He replied with a smile.
Learning egg techniques by eating them directly may lead to incorrect usage, and Dr. Kukui's paper only explains the role of imitating vanilla.
There is no point in teaching others the correct use of imitation vanilla.
I was too impatient. I should have followed the information from the Chinese medicine store owner and asked the breeder. I should have been more cautious.
Fortunately, there were no other problems with Boscodora.
The fact that this guy was able to learn the double-edged head hammer in one go should be due to his sudden emergence of specificity.
The inspection at the Pokémon Center is undoubtedly trustworthy. A big city like Violet City is unlikely to have a problem with insufficient medical equipment, and all inspections have indeed been carried out.
If you want a more detailed report, you have to go to a large medical center for review.
If it’s a large medical center…
There seems to be one in Larus City?
Although it's highly likely that Boskodora suddenly learned Double-Edged Headbutt due to some specificity, to be on the safe side, let's travel there and try it once later, and have the other Pokémon follow suit.
he thought to himself.
-
Return to the backyard of Tetsuya's house.
Kashiwagi released Boskodora.
"..."
The big monster landed on the ground and turned to look at the trainer with a comforting expression, "Guhou~"
Didn't you say you were fine?
"If there is magic that can make you fine, there would be no need for hospitals." He gently stroked Boskodora's scarred head. "Rest in peace. Your throne is more stable now."
"Gooho~"
Boscodorra growled happily in response.
It has been confirmed through the Pokémon Encyclopedia that it has learned Double-Edged Headbutt. Before learning it, I thought this move was just like that and would only be used when necessary. After learning it, I found out -
Damn, so strong!
It is indeed a top-level rock-attribute move!
Although the ground-attribute 100,000 Horsepower can restrain the electric-attribute Thundermon, if you had known this move before the battle, you might have been able to take it down directly!
Boscodorra had this hunch.
At this time, what Kashiwagi was thinking was that after getting the double-edged head hammer, he would be able to smoothly set off to the next city.
Or go back to Meteor Falls and look for the next Pokémon in the Dragon's Nest.
Both are feasible.
He retrieved the Boscodora into the ball.
"It's still early for dinner, do you want to have a battle?" Zhe also said eagerly: "Let other Pokémon come?"
"Meow!"
Miaomiao's eyes were shining and his fighting spirit was high.
Kashiwagi said, "Well... although I really want to agree, forget it. I also need to give my brain a good rest, not to mention I have to leave tomorrow."
Unit 0, the gym challenge, and the learning of new moves all added up to a sudden big change for him. He didn't get much rest last night and it's not easy for him to hold on until now.
"That's it..."
Zhe was quite disappointed but didn't say much. He pointed inside the house and said, "Then come in and find a place to sit. I'll go get you some tea."
Miaomiao's eyes widened, with a questioning look written all over his face.
Are you scared, guy?
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Kashiwagi noticed its gaze and didn't quite understand why it was staring at him, so he asked curiously and reached out to touch its hat. "Nice hat, very handsome."
Fuck you!
Meow Meow's eyes widened even more. If it were in the past, it would have scratched the customer with its claws. However, after scratching several naughty customers in the past two years and being scolded by Tetsuya's sister several times, it no longer did such reckless things.
But it should be okay to tickle this person, right?
It should be possible to scratch it, right?
Meow Meow looked at Kashiwagi's back as he turned and walked into the house, then stretched out his claws and decided to hit him with a force that would not break the skin.
Meow Meow took a step forward and just as he raised his paw, he suddenly saw something in front of him.
"Crack!"
A blue and red toy duck that was slightly taller than it blocked its way.
"Meow!?"
