Rustboro City, Steven Stone's private Sea View Villa.
There was an enormous beachfront training ground here, normally used by Steven Stone to train his Pokémon.
But now, it had been claimed by Someone Fang.
Fang Yuan stood on the beach in blue shorts and a red short-sleeved jacket with white sleeves, looking at his Milotic.
"Again," Fang Yuan said.
"Fwoo~~~"
Milotic's eyes were filled with seriousness.
At that moment, a Flame Orb was tied to Milotic's beautiful fan-like tail, just like Wallace's Milotic had one tied to hers.
As for where the orb had come from... naturally, it had been taken from Steven Stone's collection room.
By the shore, Milotic flicked her tail, instantly activating the Flame Orb's power. As the orb flashed, flames poured out and coiled from her tail around her entire body!
Flame Orb item effect: once activated by its holder, it puts the holder into Burned Status.
It seemed like a very useless item, but it had many applications.
For example, when carried by a Milotic with the Marvel Scale Ability, entering Burned Status could raise Milotic's Defense.
When carried by Pokémon with the Guts Ability, it could increase their power.
And using the Facade Move while burned or under other abnormal conditions could draw out a Pokémon's potential and increase the move's power.
Alternatively, moves such as Bestow could be used to give the Flame Orb to an opponent as a weapon, putting the opponent into Burned Status.
In short, it had many uses.
Fang Yuan's Milotic did not have the Marvel Scale Ability, so they had no intention of using the Flame Orb to boost her combat power. For now, it was merely a tool for training Coordination Ability.
Once the flames coiled around Milotic's tail, the high temperature instantly scorched it. At that
