Abilities

Therefore, the temple planned to first choose a hiding place before lighting the fire and creating Smokescreen.

Furthermore, the surrounding area must be cleared beforehand to create a buffer zone in order to prevent the mountain from burning.

After all, he didn't want to be caught by the Ranger and sent to a free lodging place for a chat.

Lighting a fire in the Forest is allowed, but it must not cause a wildfire; this is the Ranger's bottom line.

Boom!

Crackling, crackling, crackling.

As the red flames rose, the dry branches and leaves burst into Rage, and together with the layer of still-green broad leaves covering them and the man-made plastic waste, thick black Smokescreen appeared all at once.

The Smokescreen, after encountering the surrounding barriers, could only spread into the cave. The few wisps of Smokescreen that escaped quickly disappeared into the sky, causing little impact.

The temple and the Misdreavus were hiding on a stone step above the cave, with Beedrill nearby Perception the movement around them.

As for the Hoppip, he put it away first to conserve his strength, because he would definitely need to use Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, and even Poison Powder later.

As time passed, two dark figures emerged unsteadily from the Haze. One of the figures swayed precariously as soon as it Haze and slowly landed on the ground, with only its deep purple wings still flapping occasionally.

Meanwhile, the other dark shadow stubbornly continued to fly towards the shadows not far away, even though the sunlight was not very strong at the moment, it would still damage its skin.

At this moment, it could only manage to fly towards the shadows with great effort, and had no energy left to release Supersonic to explore its surroundings.

When it finally flew to the shade of the tree, it saw a dark shadow strike it quickly, and then everything went black before its eyes, and it completely fainted.

First, I was suffocated by the smoke, then I was attacked by a double dose of Stun Spore and Sleep Powder. After struggling to fly out, I was Shadow Sneak. I couldn't withstand it at all.

At that moment, another shadow bound the Zubat that was in the sunlight and threw it into the shadow.

Bang!

At the palace's signal, the Misdreavus dismantled the incense stand below and then cautiously approached the two Zubat, preparing to subdue them.

After the temple extinguished the sparks, no other creatures emerged from the cave.

This made him both relieved and somewhat disappointed; it seemed he would ultimately have to go into the cave to investigate.

You see, he really didn't want to go in unless absolutely necessary; who knew what was inside?

"Dream."

A shadowy figure tapped the hall's arm, gesturing for him to come over.

Dian walked over and saw two Deep Blue, bat-like Pokémon with large ears and four sharp white teeth lying quietly on the ground. Their most prominent feature was their V-shaped tails.

Strangely, it has no feet, and it's unclear how it hangs upside down from the cave ceiling.

He glanced at the Misdreavus and, seeing it nod its little head, took off his left black glove and gently touched the Zubat that had flown to the shade.

These gloves were bought in Antler Town, specifically to protect against dangerous substances. After all, he frequently comes into contact with strange-looking herbs and various dangerous powders, and it would be inappropriate not to have suitable hand protection.

The familiar semi-transparent border quickly appeared before Dian's eyes. Next to the microscopic 3D image of the Zubat was a series of text, giving Dian a general understanding of this Zubat.

Zubat – Poison, Flying, Bat Pokémon. It flies while emitting Supersonic to assess its surroundings, so losing its eyesight doesn't matter.

Ability: Inner Focus.

Upon seeing the Inner Focus Ability, Dian frowned slightly; this Zubat was rather troublesome.

The Ability of Inner Focus indicates that this Zubat has a very strong will, which explains why it was able to withstand the combined effects of Stun Spore and Sleep Powder.

Ordinary threats are probably useless against it, because it is not Rattled at all.

The only remaining possibility is the other one. He guessed it was Zubat with the Infiltrator Ability, since it collapsed halfway through the battle.

Almost all Pokémon that survive in the Wilderness have awakened their Ability, while an Ability number of Pokémon bred in captivity have not.

This is not surprising, because in the Wilderness, if you are slightly worse off than others, you might be the one suffering from cold and hunger. So, under the pressure of life, almost everyone will develop their potential. However, this also has its downsides, namely, it can lead to imperfect development.

For example, the Zubat with the Inner Focus Ability to it probably has inferior physical attributes compared to the one with the Infiltrator Ability, because its excessive willpower during its survival process caused it to ignore the danger signals its body was sending, thus burying some potential problems.

Meanwhile, the Zubat next to it, with its Piercing Ability, follows its body's needs and thus grows healthier.

These hidden techniques are also key to catching Pokémon; some seemingly good Ability are actually bad.

Only Zubat born with the Inner Focus Ability fully realize their Ability after careful training by their Trainer.

This is the benefit of human intervention: it allows you to breed Pokémon that suit your preferences.

Like that Charmeleon from before, it was probably a generic Pokémon that the League distributed to its good citizens. It had great potential, but there was no other choice.

Because this is a kind of mandatory benefit, you're unlikely to be given a bunch of Charmander to choose from.

So if you want Charmander that suits your taste, you have to work hard to catch it yourself; it's impossible to catch one just because someone else gives it to you.

In fact, another purpose of artificial intervention is to suppress some troublesome Ability, such as the Truant of the Slaking.

However, the researchers quickly gave up, because this change in Ability was related to the Pokémon's personality and even Pokémon strength.

The prerequisite for Slaking to unleash his extraordinary power is the Truant that everyone despises, or perhaps, it is precisely because of his Truant that Slaking exists.

Researchers have discovered that the Slakoth, the more active it becomes after evolving into Vigoroth. Then, after evolving into Slaking, it becomes even Truant, but correspondingly, it becomes stronger.

If you Sheer Force Slakoth to exercise, the resulting Vigoroth will become weak and powerless, making it difficult for it to evolve into Slaking.

They might not even be able to evolve into Vigoroth.

The reason is simple: during his Slakoth, he was constantly cultivating his spirit. The Slakoth seemed, the stronger his Inner Focus actually was.

Only after evolving into Vigoroth can this powerful Inner Focus support its strong desire to move. This is something that was suppressed for a whole period of time during the Slakoth stage, when its desire to eat and move was completely suppressed.

The almost continuous exercise and eating Vigoroth stage allows the Vigoroth to accumulate energy and strengthen its body at an unimaginable speed, until after evolving into the Slaking, its physical fitness has become terrifyingly strong.

However, this powerful body, in turn, requires a powerful mind to control, thus revealing its Truant.

Only when Slaking has accumulated enough Inner Focus can he unleash his full power.

Therefore, its seemingly cumbersome Truant actually crucial for the Slaking.
