Psychic-type and Emotional Energy

Su Hao made a decision that went against the system.

After putting the seven Pokémon into Poké Balls, the system directly recognized them as Pokémon Su Hao had captured.

The System Store instantly listed seven kinds of candy: Feebas Candy, Dratini Candy, Ralts Candy, Bagon Candy...

After returning to the island, Su Hao released the six Young Pokémon. The moment he did, the candies that had been on sale in the System Store were removed as well.

Originally, Su Hao had planned to release Feebas after talking with it.

But Feebas suddenly expressed its desire to grow stronger. After thinking it over, Su Hao decided he could absolutely fleece the system for some benefits!

Before Latios and Latias returned, Su Hao would first take Feebas through basic training and supplement it with Feebas Candy to improve its overall abilities.

During that time, he could also take Carbink and Incineroar to visit the Pokémon clans on the island for training.

As for Carbink and Incineroar's arrangements,

Su Hao wanted to find a Gardevoir, Alakazam, or Hattrem clan skilled in Psychic-type abilities to specially train Carbink's Psychic-type powers.

He needed Carbink to learn methods of Calm Mind and cultivation from those Psychic-type Pokémon.

As a manifestation of Mental Power, Psychic-type power could move objects with one's thoughts, control objects, and manipulate objects.

As an all-purpose attribute, most Pokémon possessed some degree of talent for Psychic-type power.

Those talents were generally reflected in the Moves they could learn.

For example, many Pokémon could learn Agility. Its principle was to use Mental Power to stimulate the body's cells, greatly increasing speed.

Some Pokémon did not have the Psychic-type attribute, but their talent for Psychic-type power was no weaker than that of Psychic-type Pokémon.

The Psyduck Clan and the Ninetales Clan were examples.

Psyduck and its evolved form, Golduck, were both pure Water Type Pokémon.

Psyduck was known as one of the dim-witted Pokémon, alongside Slowpoke, Swampert, Quagsire, Magikarp, and others.

Yet incredible power existed within its brain, occasionally producing Confusion, though most Psyduck could not control it.

A vast amount of Mental Power constantly built up inside Psyduck's head, leaving it in a permanent state of pain. Once the headache accumulated to a certain extent, Psyduck could unleash Psychic-type power even stronger than that of ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon.

Just like in the Pokémon Indigo League anime, the female protagonist Misty had a Psyduck.

Only when an external force caused an impact to Psyduck's brain could Misty's Psyduck instantly erupt with astonishing Psychic-type power.

After Psyduck evolved into Golduck, it did not gain the Psychic-type attribute, but it could freely wield Psychic-type power.

Psychic-type Moves also made up a large proportion of the Psyduck Clan's Movepool.

Then there was the pure Fire-type Ninetales. Ninetales could live for a thousand years, and the longer it lived, the stronger its Psychic-type power became.

Ninetales excelled at using Psychic-type power to create illusions. There were even legends of thousand-year-old Ninetales taking human form within their illusions.

Su Hao envisioned it this way: after Carbink cultivated Psychic-type power, its own immense foundation would be enough to support it floating through the air with Psychic-type power.

That would not only make up for Carbink's slow movement, but also prepare it in advance for future naval and aerial battles.

And who else couldn't fly?

As a tanky all-round fighter, Incineroar was the one whose Fire-type abilities Su Hao wanted to develop this time.

The stronger Incineroar's emotions became, the higher the temperature and intensity of its flames.

In Su Hao's plan, Incineroar could first learn how to use Emotional Energy.

The desire to win, anger, joy, battle lust, bonds, and all kinds of emotions could serve as fuel for Incineroar's flames.

For a Fire-type Pokémon, the temperature and nature of its flames determined its attack power.

Incineroar had actually already achieved a shallow level of Emotional Energy usage.

Its Ability—Intimidate—released Emotional Energy that intimidated enemies, reducing their fighting spirit and attack power.

As for a teacher who could teach Incineroar to control Emotional Energy, Su Hao knew there was a Pokémon clan on this island perfectly suited for the task: the Hattrem Clan.

The Hattrem Clan could read and manipulate the feelings and emotions of nearby people and Pokémon.

To Hattrem, emotions were delicious food, so they often used Psychic-type power to create illusions and manipulate the emotions of the people and Pokémon they chose as "food."

Hattrem, known as the "Forest Witch" Pokémon, was not easy to deal with. However, Su Hao had saved Hatenna, and with Feebas, Latios, and Latias backing him up, Hattrem probably would not refuse.

For the next few days, Feebas only needed to follow Su Hao through basic pre-evolution training.

After clearly arranging everything for Carbink and Incineroar, Su Hao bought a small fish tank from the System Store and held it in his hands, making it easier to carry Feebas around.

He explained the training plan to Carbink and Incineroar. After receiving replies that put his mind at ease, Su Hao carried Feebas, brought Carbink and Incineroar along, and headed toward Misty Forest, where the Hattrem and Gardevoir clans lived.

Although it was called Misty Forest, it was actually only a small patch of woodland where the Hattrem and Gardevoir clans were stationed on the island outside the Secret Realm.

The real Misty Forest was inside the Secret Realm controlled by Latios and Latias.

The woods looked no different from ordinary forests, but according to Feebas, the Misty Forest within the Secret Realm was filled with bizarre, colorful fluorescent lights and seemed incredibly magical.

After entering Misty Forest, Su Hao saw quite a few petite and adorable Ralts and Kirlia playing carefree.

Beside the Young Pokémon at play stood a Pokémon with restrained presence and a knightly air, watching over them.

The Ralts Clan had two evolutionary forms. One was Gallade, which only male Kirlia could evolve into through a Dawn Stone. The other was Gardevoir, which could be evolved into regardless of gender.

The Pokémon before him was Gallade, the other evolved form of Kirlia, different from Gardevoir.

Pokémon: [Gallade]

Attribute: [Psychic-type + Fighting]

Gender: [♂]

Ability: [Sharpness]

Level: [45]

Item: [None]

Moves: [Slash, Fury Swipes, Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade, Sacred Sword...]

Unlike Gardevoir, Gallade was Psychic-type and Fighting-type, making it exceptionally skilled in close combat.

Gallade's upper body was green, while its lower body was white.

Its torso was slender. Compared to its Ralts and Kirlia stages, its physique had become stronger, with thick, rounded hips and powerful legs.

Gallade had sharp red protrusions on its chest and back. Its arms were shaped like elbows, with retractable blades at the joints.

Its head resembled a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a pale cyan crest.

Gallade usually fought with the blades on its elbows. Like the Garganacl Su Hao had fought before, its entire clan was skilled in using blades and swords.

Because Su Hao bore the marks left behind by Latios and Latias, and because he was holding a fish tank with Feebas swimming inside, Gallade did not attack him.

After Su Hao explained his purpose to Gallade, Gallade nodded and began using Psychic-type power to contact Gardevoir.

I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion. Feebas is about to evolve, and I want to write that after being influenced by Latios and Latias and the Heart's Drop Gem, Feebas gains the Dragon-type attribute upon evolution. But that's my own setting, so I'm asking everyone first. Type 1 if you agree, type 2 if you disagree. If nobody says anything, I'll just write it that way.
