The Effects of Candy

"Incinereroar, use Fire Blast at full power!"

"Meowraaar!"

Flames spewed from his Flame Bag formed a fireball, which Incineroar smacked forward.

The fireball took the shape of a giant "big" as it struck the testing machine.

Before long, a number appeared on the display connected to the energy tester.

[3200 cal!]

This Fire Blast from Incineroar was clearly not as powerful as the one he had used against Kong Lingwei.

But even without that level of power, the Fire Blast unleashed by a Normal Level Mid Stage Incineroar still exceeded the Elite Level standard by 1,000 calories!

After Incineroar came Carbink.

"Moonblast at full power!"

Moonblast was currently one of Carbink's strongest offensive moves, aside from Meteor Beam, which required charging.

"Na!"

A pink full moon formed from Fairy Energy appeared above Carbink's head.

Once it formed, the full moon continuously radiated a powerful Fairy aura.

Carbink blasted the full moon into the energy tester.

"Boom!"

A deafening blast rang out, and pink energy smoke billowed around the tester, obscuring the exact reading.

A moment later, the smoke dispersed.

[15000 cal!]

Carbink, having only just reached the Elite Level, had directly unleashed an attack at the Elite Level Late Stage!

Su Hao naturally understood Carbink's strength.

As a future Mythical Pokémon, Carbink had been able to defeat an Elite Level Scyther while still at the Normal Level.

Before Carbink mutated into Diancie, her talents had been more focused on defensive specialization.

Yet even with a defensive specialization, Carbink had still unleashed an Elite Level Late Stage attack!

Su Hao believed that even against a Professional Level Pokémon, Carbink might be able to put up a fight!

After recording their data before they ate the candies, Su Hao took a Litten Candy from the System Backpack, then bought a Carbink Candy from the store.

Litten Candy was wrapped in black-and-red paper, while Carbink Candy had brown-and-pink striped wrapping.

Su Hao peeled back the wrappers, revealing candies that matched their wrappers in color.

He handed the candies to Carbink and Incineroar respectively, letting them eat them.

After Carbink and Incineroar finished eating, Su Hao used the inspection function to examine their data.

Pokémon: [Incineroar (wearing a blue scarf)]

Attribute: [Fire-type]

Gender: [Male]

Ability: [Intimidate]

Item: [Charcoal]

Level: [25]

Moves: [Fake Out, Parting Shot, Fire Blast, Bulk Up, Shadow Claw...]

Pokémon: [Carbink] [Mutation 36%]

Attributes: [Rock, Fairy]

Gender: [Female]

Ability: [Clear Body]

Level: [31]

Item: [Diancie Mega Stone]

Moves: [Reflect, Dazzling Gleam, Meteor Beam, Moonblast, Power Gem...]

Compared to the data Su Hao had examined before they ate the candies, nothing had changed.

Since the data panels showed no changes, Su Hao had Carbink and Incineroar use Fire Blast and Moonblast again.

[3400 cal!]

[15200 cal!]

Both Incineroar and Carbink's output had increased slightly!

Next, Su Hao tested Carbink and Incineroar's Defense, Special Defense, and Speed.

Carbink and Incineroar's overall abilities had all improved slightly!

Through Telepathy, Carbink told Su Hao that after eating the candy, she had quickly felt full, while a gentle energy had appeared inside her body.

This energy was continuously being absorbed by Carbink, but before she finished absorbing it, she already felt too full to eat a second candy.

Using Wave Power, Su Hao checked inside Incineroar's body as well.

Just as Carbink had described, there was also an energy within Incineroar that was constantly merging into his body.

Once the tests were complete, Su Hao came to a conclusion.

After Pokémon Candy was consumed, it formed an energy that continuously strengthened every aspect of the Pokémon that ate it.

At present, Carbink and Litten had felt full after just one candy, indicating that they could not eat a second before absorbing all the energy.

Although this candy could not increase a Pokémon's Energy Level, it could broadly improve every one of a Pokémon's Six Dimensions. Its effect was simply outrageous!

Even if there might be a limit, Su Hao was certain that if they kept taking it over time, every one of his Pokémon would be able to fight above their level!

By the time the tests ended, the sky had already darkened.

Leaving the training room, Su Hao walked home with Carbink perched on his shoulder and Incineroar in his arms.

After training with the Aura Insights Qin Gang had given him, Su Hao's Wave Power had improved, and he could clearly feel his physical fitness growing stronger. He now even felt that he could knock down a Tauros with one punch!

His physique was gradually approaching that of a Super True New. If he faced attacks aimed at Trainers in the future, Su Hao felt that he would have the ability to protect himself!

The next day, after taking first place in his grade, Su Hao became the center of attention at Yangcheng High School.

People followed him or struck up conversations with him wherever he went.

The most outrageous part was that before Su Hao even entered the men's restroom to relieve himself, he sensed someone outside the window with his Wave Power!

So frightened that he did not even use the restroom, Su Hao scrambled back to the classroom.

After telling Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng about what had happened, Su Hao was not upset even after receiving ridicule from his two terrible friends.

"I'll probably be leaving to travel in a few days."

Su Hao felt that he should still let his friends know about this.

"What do you mean, Brother Su? You're dropping out?!" Li Hua suddenly stood up from his chair, and his voice drew the attention of the entire class toward the three of them.

Su Hao glanced at the classmates looking over, pressed the standing Li Hua back into his seat, and continued, "Calm down. I'm just taking leave to challenge Gyms."

Su Hao then simplified what Su Hao's father had told him and explained it to Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng.

"So, you'll be taking a long leave from school during this time to challenge Gyms all over the Divine Land Alliance, right?" Jiang Chengcheng asked.

"That's right. Once I collect four badges, I'll come back for the National Youth Tournament," Su Hao confirmed.

"Since it's your decision, we have no objections. If anything happens during your journey, contact us anytime."

Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng both felt that, as Su Hao's friends, they naturally had to offer their blessings for his choice.

"Have you decided which Gym you're going to?" Li Hua asked, lying across his desk.

"For now, I plan to take the train to Shuizhou City in Haiqing Province and challenge the Water-type Gym there."

"Will that be okay? Both your Carbink and Incineroar are weak against Water-type moves," Jiang Chengcheng asked worriedly as she smoothed her hair.

"Haiqing Province has abundant aquatic resources, along with several Secret Realms to explore. I also plan to add new companions to the team during this trip!"
