Seeing his Misdreavus acting like a little madman, Roy actually felt more guilty towards Misdreavus.
Since the Misdreavus started following me, it seems like I haven't given Misdreavus anything good besides my Ghost Power.
The main System Shop refreshed twice but didn't show any items suitable for Misdreavus.
"I guess I'll just have to make things difficult for you for now. I'll get you a Booster Energy as soon as I get one."
"Dream."
The Misdreavus didn't understand at all what Roy meant by "bitterness."
Am I having a hard time right now?
She feels very happy now, being able to spend every day with Roy and the others.
Unlike before, when I had no friends and could only stare blankly at the Plate in the cave, talking to the voice in my head.
Moreover, without Roy, she might have been taken away by that Dusknoir from the Spirit World; in that case, her soul would be scattered, which would be the least of her worries.
"Yes, you're a lucky Misdreavus."
"Dream!"
Roy continued searching and found several Technical Machine in the Spatial Bracelet: two [Dark Pulse] Technical Machine, one [Magical Leaf] Technical Machine, and one [Icy Wind] Technical Machine.
There was also a medium-quality Dusk Stone, and the rest were some rotten Berry and clothing.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Roy activated the first four Spatial Bracelets one by one, following the same method as before. Roy hadn't really had any expectations for the others.
However, Roy still managed to find a mid-quality Fire Stone, a low-quality Thunder Stone, and a [Thunderbolt] Technical Machine.
Aren't you an apprentice at the Dark type Gym?
How come there's Thunder Stone and Thunderbolt Technical Machine?
Roy didn't bother to think about whether this apprentice was going to switch allegiance to Lao Wattson of the Mauville Gym.
In short, the only valuable items are 5 Technical Machine, two Pokémon items, and three Evolution Stones.
He happened to have Portable Technical Machine on hand, so he could try out these Technical Machine and see what the chances were of learning them.
"Misdreavus, come here for a second."
"Dream"
The Misdreavus obediently floated to Roy's side, and Roy installed the transparent shield on the Misdreavus's head according to the instructions.
The Technical Machine can determine whether Pokémon can learn a move, which is much more useful than the huge Technical Machine Device in the Academy.
If Pokémon, it will glow green; otherwise, it will flash red.
Roy intended to put the [Thunderbolt] Technical Machine on, but instead grabbed the Icy Wind Technical Machine. Just as he was about to take it off, the TM suddenly lit up with a green light!
Wait! Wait a minute!
He clearly remembered that Misdreavus couldn't learn the skill "Icy Wind".
However, it seems that the Flutter Mane within the Misdreavus can be learned. Could it be that the two share the same skill set?
To test it out, Roy positioned the Icy Wind Technical Machine correctly, clicked the learn button on top, and the portable Technical Machine started operating, with the transparent shield emitting a red light.
This makes it look even more like a hair perming machine.
Approximately 10 minutes later, the Technical Machine did not display a notification indicating that the skill had been successfully learned.
The skill "Icy Wind" is not listed on the Misdreavus's stats.
It is clear that the success rate of learning from Technical Machine on the market is not high.
The Misdreavus looked at Roy with a blank expression; only fragmented memories remained in her mind.
Roy inserted the Technical Machine for Dark Pulse again and clicked the learn button once more.
Failed again
Am I having such bad luck tonight?
Unconvinced, Roy took out another [Dark Pulse] Technical Machine and put it in.
This time, the words "[Dark Pulse]" finally appeared on Misdreavus's stats.
Roy then tried putting the remaining two Technical Machine into the CD player, but neither worked.
Especially the Thunderbolt Technical Machine, I don't know if it's a pirated copy, it just won't fit.
Roy used a total of 5 Technical Machine, but Misdreavus only learned one of them, [Dark Pulse].
The probability of success in learning is only 20%.
Of course, this can't be blamed on the Misdreavus.
Roy wanted to take Misdreavus to the yard to test the Dark Pulse, but Misdreavus encountered the same problem as Litwick: it had no Dark type energy in its body and couldn't use the move.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up. He went back inside and sorted through his Harvest. The three mid-quality Evolution Stones were of no use to him now, so he might as well exchange them for some money.
Just as Roy was about to close the System Panel, he discovered that the system's Popularity Points had suddenly surged by 10,000 points.
Roy: (•ิ_•ิ)?
What happened?
[Host's behavior has generated discussion; host is rewarded with 2000 Popularity Points]
The system has finally reappeared, ever since the Giratina incident. However, no matter how Roy calls upon the system, he receives no mechanical response.
"System! Tell me quickly, what's going on with that Giratina's Scale?"
The Giratina even said that you secretly pulled it out while he was sleeping, is that true?
System?! System Bro?
Damn it, the system is playing dead again.
Knowing that the system wouldn't respond, Roy checked his IQ to see what had caused his discussion level to rise.
Looking through the topics about Ghost type these past few days, I discovered that someone had recorded videos of their afternoon battles and uploaded them to IQ, which sparked a wave of comments.
Roy glanced at the uploader's profile picture and realized it was from the official website of the Dome Arena.
Normally, the videos uploaded to the official website are Advanced Division matches or exhibition games; this is the first time a Beginner Division match has been posted on the official website.
Roy knew without a doubt that Erika had uploaded the video from the Battle Dome's official website. Clicking into the video, he found that it had an unexpectedly high view count, with over 20,000 people watching it.
Especially the battle between Sneasel and Duskull, many people commented "disgusting" in the comments section, wondering how such Pokémon.
Please pay me to watch this video.
"Help! That Sneasel is crying in desperation!"
Roy found it amusing and left a comment above:
"How can there be such a disgusting Pokémon?"
It received 10 likes in 10 seconds.
The system's Popularity Points rose by another 5 points. Seeing that his comment was effective, Roy also became a keyboard warrior and strongly condemned Duskull's behavior.
Roy quickly received a reply:
"The place upstairs looks like it's been ransacked. Tell me! Are you Sneasel's Pokémon Trainer?"
Roy ignored the comments below and turned to face Duskull.
Duskull: What are you doing?
Look into my eyes!!!!
Didn't you teach me everything I know?
Roy: I can explain... never mind, I won't explain.
In the end, Roy appeased his Duskull letting it sleep in his big bed for a week while he slept on the floor.
Whether the Duskull was truly angry or not remains unknown.
