"Maybe Ash's Pikachu could do it? After all, one of its Thunderbolts directly one-shot Ho-Oh..."
Thinking back, Ye Lan had chosen to challenge Regirock because he had used Data Detection to check its stats beforehand:
Name: Regirock Gender: ?????? Category: ?????? Type: ?????? Ability: ?????? Known Moves: ?????? Inherited Moves: ?????? Rank: Mid Gym Leader level Evolution Progress: ??????
A long string of question marks had nearly filled the entire Data Panel. Back then, Ye Lan had been somewhat puzzled, thinking it was because Regirock was a Legendary Pokémon or an artificial Pokémon. Now it seemed that the two Unown had been behind it.
"Wasn't it supposed to be Mid Gym Leader level? How did it jump straight to Champion level in the second phase? I wanted to challenge it to train up my strength, and I even had Marshadow as backup if things went wrong. This is completely shameless!"
Ye Lan had every reason to suspect that the two Unown had gotten too carried away, causing this situation.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Ye Lan complained as he browsed through the information. Then, his movements suddenly froze.
Aside from the quest progress for "Ancient Text Scholar," Ye Lan finally discovered the greatest gain from this encounter: Serperior's Data Panel had undergone changes that even surprised him!
Name: Serperior Gender: Female Type: Grass Ability: Contrary (Hidden Ability) Effect: Stat changes are reversed. Increases become decreases, while decreases become increases.
