In a way...
Rare talents appeared in the Simulator according to a pattern.
For instance, three ordinary simulations were followed by a Blue Simulation. Two blue ones led to a Double Blue, and two Double Blues led to an orange.
So what came after two oranges?
A Double Orange?
A Single Orange could beat one member of the Elite Four. A Single Orange paired with a Single Blue could beat two.
The upper limit of a Double Orange...
Baimu figured it could at least sweep the Elite Four.
If there were no talent colors above orange, even the Regional Champion's throne might be within reach!
But then again...
Looking back over the history of the Pokémon World, only a handful of people had held the Regional Champion title across its major regions in the past century. What happened once he had simulated them all?
Parallel timelines? That wouldn't explain it.
Baimu didn't dwell on it. Arceus would surely extend its invisible hand and take care of a little problem like that.
He opened the Simulator.
He used all three ordinary simulations he hadn't spent last month, just in case leaving them unused disrupted the pattern for rare talents.
Of course, he couldn't say for certain that it would help. Better safe than sorry.
The rewards were, unsurprisingly, scraps he no longer needed. The move rewards in particular could go sit at the same table as that old warehouse fixture, String Shot.
I'll give you all some attention when I get the chance.

He stared silently at the exchange screen.
[Exchange failed]!
The stark black words quickened his heartbeat. After all, they meant the fixed talent was at least a Blue Talent.
Double Orange!
Could it be a Double Orange?
With a fierce hope that
