Knowing His Limits and Making a Choice

On the other side, the palace was also helpless.

What an unlucky night! I couldn't Rest, and when I tried to catch a Luvdisc, the Ranger stopped me.

He sighed as he walked.

This is because it has no background. Heracross, a Bug- Bug-type, is already quite good, and there are groups of it living near Violet City. However, in reality, its groups are protected by Ranger to prevent Pokémon Hunter or Trainer from capturing them.

This is generally the case; groups of Pokémon with a higher starting point and greater strength usually have someone specifically assigned to supervise them.

In order to ensure the normal reproduction of a group, there will only be a few slots available for subjugation within a certain period of time, so there will generally be strict screening of those who are subjugated.

If the Temple were to attempt to subdue Heracross, it would likely be stopped by the Ranger, who would use various excuses to prevent him from continuing the attempt.

The reason is simple: he has no background, which means he has no resources.

After all, raising a Pokémon in reality is not as simple as just feeding it Berry; it also requires providing it with valuable resources.

Just like Heracross, the tree sap and honey it consumes daily have strict requirements; otherwise, Heracross would have been found everywhere long ago, instead of remaining in small numbers.

This is because the honey it consumes is not ordinary honey, but must be natural honey brewed by Pokémon, and the sap it consumes is produced by an extremely precious and rare tree species, or the nectar secreted by the Grass-type Pokémon itself.

All of this requires money; some precious nectar is as expensive as gold, and it's impossible to provide it long-term without sufficient financial resources.

Heracross needs to eat a lot to maintain its growth and development. If it does not receive proper feeding for a long time, it will become listless and unable to fight. In severe cases, it may even lose its ability to reproduce.

Therefore, if ordinary Trainer are allowed to capture Heracross, it may eventually become endangered.

It is precisely for this reason that the League sends Ranger to specifically protect the forests.

Don't be fooled by how easily Ash can catch one; it's because he has a powerful background and his entourage consists of extraordinary people.

The Ranger then stopped interfering; otherwise, if someone else had tried, it would have been pointless.

The same applies to other Pokémon, so although Dian remembered the locations of some high-starting-point Pokémon's populations, he didn't make any futile attempts because it was pointless.

Before he encountered the Misdreavus in Tani City, he had already gathered most of the information online.

There's no shortage of people who want to complain, and some experienced Trainer online have thoroughly Analytic these unspoken rules.

This is why many people in the world want to become Trainer or at least have experience in this field.

Because this world is dominated by humans and Pokémon.

For example, when it comes to treating household waste, who can compare to Muk? In general, Muk plays a key role in sewage treatment plants and household waste treatment plants.

Therefore, if someone wants to become a factory manager in the future, they must have extensive experience in cultivating Muk.

For example, high-level positions in power plants, municipal solid waste treatment plants, and other professions are mostly held by highly skilled Trainer; ordinary people simply have no chance.

Even novelists who don't understand Pokémon will eventually be left behind.

So after seeing through all this, Dian realized that the best profession and lifestyle in the Pokémon World is to Trainer; there is no other choice.

For someone from an ordinary family, the best way to stand out is to become Trainer.

Even if the first generation lacks experience, with the management and inheritance of several generations, things will eventually improve.

After learning all this, Dian also understood where his advantages lay.

In terms of training experience and battle experience, he is naturally inferior to those scions of aristocratic families or experienced Trainer.

Moreover, there is a significant gap in resources.

However, his advantage lies in his knowledge; compared to the average Trainer who is confined to one place, his perspective is many times broader.

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and many other regions, and also various rare Pokémon.

Some Pokémon are unremarkable before they evolve, but become extremely valuable Pokémon after they evolve.

His strengths include his research and familiarity with various Ability, as well as his mastery of Pokémon moves.

At least for now, the Pokémon Pokédex cannot reveal a Pokémon's Ability or moves.

These are things that Trainer can only discover through their own experience after capturing the animal, or by consulting researchers for observation.

However, there is no doubt that all of these will waste time and money.

After all, researchers or Pokémon Watcher can't observe Pokémon's Ability for you for free.

Some incredibly talented yet adorably clueless Pokémon may not even know what skills they possess; these are things that Trainer must discover for themselves.

Moreover, and more importantly, some rare Pokémon, such as Tyranitar, are rarely seen by ordinary people. Therefore, although they are powerful, they are difficult to train and few people know about them.

Because you don't know Tyranitar's Ability, nor what moves Tyranitar can learn. Can you even imagine Tyranitar using Thunder Fang, Dark Pulse, or possibly Dragon Rage?

Even if you somehow manage to get a Larvitar, you can only raise it like any other Pokémon and let it grow naturally.

It's difficult to teach because young Larvitar has no parents to guide him and doesn't know what to do.

Therefore, even if it obtains it, the final evolved Tyranitar's strength will be greatly reduced.

Let alone comparing it to Tyranitar in the hands of some powerful Trainer, it's probably not even as good as a wild one.

This is also why some Elite level Trainer in the League actually use common Pokémon as their main force; as Elite, they are not without ways to acquire some rare Pokémon.

The problem is, even if you acquire one, how do you train it? That's also a problem. Often, it's not worth the effort; you put in a lot of hard work, but the result is not as good as training a familiar Pokémon.

Moreover, the rarer the Pokémon, the more resources it requires, and this may increase further as it evolves.

I've never seen a Trainer can only field one or two Pokémon; the rest are just cogs in the machine, used to complement that Pokémon and unleash its full potential.

Therefore, it's not that some Trainer don't want to continue training one or two powerful Pokémon, but rather that they lack the energy and resources to sustain it.
