"Before we head to the Paldea Region, we'll most likely make a special trip to Sinnoh. Part of it is for your Trainer's own reasons, and the other part is your Leaf Blade enhancement plan."
"Dark Form and Water Form are more or less trained up already, right? Their origins are completely different from those two forms. Your new teachers will be three genuine gods!"
Ye Lan was not exaggerating or deliberately deceiving Leafeon. Although the Lake Trio had not displayed particularly impressive combat power in the anime and rarely appeared, leaving many people without much of an impression of them.
But in truth, as Pokémon Arceus had specifically created using the "Mystery Plate" of Psychic type, they were entirely equivalent to incarnations of authority.
If Leafeon could adapt to their power and master a brand-new form of Leaf Blade, its strength would absolutely crush the previous Water Form and Dark Form.
Marshadow's power and the power of Healing Water were still far too insignificant before Legendary Pokémon that truly wielded authority.
"And this time, it's the Psychic type, the one with the most variations. Maybe once you master it, you'll be able to beat Rillaboom!"
"Vee!" Leafeon shook its head like a rattle drum.
It was supposed to fight Rillaboom? Was it crazy?!
It knew its own limits. Given Big Sis and Rillaboom's attitudes toward training, they deserved to be that strong!
Leafeon knew perfectly well that while it had stayed at the Nishinomori Research Institute waiting for the Poké Balls to be made, without Ye Lan personally supervising it, neither it nor Whimsicott had neglected their training. But in terms of diligence, forget Rillaboom—even Oh-no Amoonguss and Bulbasaur put them to shame!
The reason those two Pokémon were not even more hardworking was not because they lacked effort.
