Cave Hunter

However, these are all issues to consider only after catching a rare Pokémon.

Now, the palace doesn't even have the resources, let alone the qualifications to capture certain Pokémon.

That's why they need to Registered Trainer first, then Gym, and participate in League matches.

Unlike other underage Trainer, the Gym competitions he is currently participating in are more rigorous in nature, meaning that Gym Leader tend to take them more seriously.

Because this relates to the stipend the League gives him.

The League provides a stipend to official Trainer, which is based on their past performance.

The number of Gym Badge, rankings in various League tournaments, and contributions to the League constitute a complex and rigorous evaluation system to provide Trainer with corresponding daily stipends.

These funds will be directly deposited into the Trainer's League account, even for underage Trainer, although the money will be deposited into their guardians' accounts.

These things are important to Dian, as they mean he can have a stable source of income and he no longer has to go around scheming to rob children.

You have to understand that he was a good young man with a conscience, and he must have felt guilty.

However, the Gym is not easy to beat...

Compared to regular Badge certification, his assessment system will be much more rigorous.

That's why the leader hasn't been able to challenge the Gym for so long; it's simply too difficult.

Especially since the current Gym Leader of Violet City seems to have inherited his father's Pokémon, there will likely be a troublesome battle ahead.

Actually, what the Palace cares about more than the allowance is the issue of authority. With higher authority, one can buy some rare Poké Ball and other rare resources, and even catch Pokémon that are being looked after by the Ranger.

Honestly, even if you gave Gible now, he probably wouldn't know how to train it. Didn't Ash eventually hand that giant over to Professor Oak?

Meanwhile, the hardworking Professor Oak had to use his connections to seek out experienced people and methods to help Ash raise Pokémon.

Otherwise, why would Ash's Pokémon be able to maintain their strength under Professor Oak, or even become stronger?

Of course, it's impossible for the prince not to be envious.

For example, if he had a Charizard now, he probably wouldn't be able to train it in the Charizard Valley, since so many Trainer who own Charizard know about this training program.

The problem is, knowing this is one thing, but they still have to accept it from you.

Do you have money? Do you have connections? Oh, no, you have none of that. Get in line, we'll contact you when the time comes, and then you'll disappear without a trace.

This is also why the temple didn't expect to raise a Charizard that could easily defeat the Brave Bird.

Ash's Charizard was the result of countless hours of effort from Ash's family and a great deal of kindness from Professor Oak.

Dian knew he didn't have the ability to compete. After all, while the Starter Pokémon seemed strong, there were actually many Pokémon that could rival or even surpass them at the starting line.

It's just that their training experience and methods for the Starter Pokémon are not the most complete, which is why they were chosen as starter Pokémon.

But this is actually a huge pitfall. Not everyone's Charizard can defeat the Brave Bird. It's very possible that, let alone defeating the Brave Bird, even someone else's Pidgeot could cripple you.

Therefore, if you are Trainer with no experience, Grass-type and Bug-type are recommended as your best choices.

Grass-type are easy to care for; with patience, they will eventually reward your expectations. However, some are difficult to care for, so choose carefully.

Bug-type Pokémon tend to develop quickly, have strong personalities, are ambitious, can withstand high-intensity training, and are highly adaptable.

The reason why some ordinary Pokémon can become the main force of Elite Trainer is that, on the one hand, there are many training methods, and on the other hand, there is a high degree of selection, allowing them to choose the most satisfactory individuals.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is precisely because they know they are inherently inferior that they are willing to work hard and catch up with others through their own efforts and determination.

Rare or even endangered Pokémon have virtually no selection criteria. What if you encountered a lazy Dratini whose biggest dream was to be a lazy Pokémon, lying in Pond all day long?

Should we train it into a Dragonite whose only dream is to Rest, and then let Rest as soon as it enters the arena, or should we just give up on this useless creature?

Therefore, for a Trainer, the most important thing is to understand oneself, then choose the most suitable Pokémon to train, and then take it one step at a time to strengthen oneself. This is the best path.

However, this time, Dian discovered a rare Pokémon. He had noticed a powerful Magnet Pull emanating from the cave while resting outside, which had directly attracted the metal objects he was carrying.

He had originally planned to go in and subdue it immediately, but after thinking about it, he realized he wasn't entirely confident, so he waited until today.

The next day.

Boom!

Dian lit the torch in his hand, then led the Misdreavus and carried the Skiploom inside. He had already applied Potion to the Hoppip's wounds and then let the Skiploom, which had rested for a while, use Synthesis to recover its strength.

If there were one more Pokémon that could Heal Pulse, it would be perfect.

As for Beedrill, it's really inconvenient for it to move around in the cave, so we put it back into its Poké Ball for now.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The Zubat nearby were flying around excitedly, seemingly thrilled to be back in their familiar environment.

Dian glanced at it and sighed. He had originally thought it was a weak and listless Zubat, but it turned out to be a proud and adorable Little Queen.

The Zubat released Supersonic waves to probe ahead, then let out a disappointed cry. It flew to the front of the hall, shook its head, and indicated that its kin had disappeared.

The palace was not disappointed, as this was within expectations.

With their leader gone, the group of Zubat naturally scattered, either joining other groups or finding a safe place to elect a new leader and start afresh.

Drop.

Water droplets dripped down from the cave above.

The cave was unexpectedly damp and slippery. To conserve the Misdreavus's energy, Dian didn't let it carry him, but instead followed behind Zubat, cautiously probing forward.

As they ventured deeper, they discovered not a single Pokémon in sight.

Suddenly, as if Perception something, the Zubat let out a sharp cry and flew inside.

Dian was startled and quickly followed. He had told the Zubat about his target before he came.

It was the Pokémon that lived in the cave and used Magnet Pull.

Therefore, Zubat's unusual behavior at this moment is very likely related to this Pokémon.
