Although Chen Shi could not tell exactly how useful the Spooky Plate was, Dragapult's excited expression told him its effects could not be bad.
Trading a useless Deoxys for a Plate projection had been worth it.
Watching Dragapult show off, Metagross and Charizard, Chen Shi's two trusty enforcers, felt a little envious.
Those two were the most obsessed with getting stronger in the team, and they always threw themselves into training.
But there was no competing with Dragapult's endless stream of cheats. The Legendary Resources just kept coming, keeping Dragapult firmly in the lead.
Now that Dragapult had obtained the Spooky Plate as well, they could already imagine how much faster Dragapult's strength would grow.
Noticing Metagross's and Charizard's expressions, Chen Shi cleared his throat. "Dragapult, that's enough. Dial back the showing off."
Dragapult curled its lip and ignored him.
After getting something this good, couldn't a dragon show off a little?
Chen Shi could not help rubbing his brow. He told Metagross and Charizard, "This Spooky Plate is Ghost-type, so I can only give it to Dragapult."
"But that Gardevoir just said there are more Plates in the Hisui Region. When we get there, we'll see if we can find ones that suit you."
Hearing that, Metagross and Charizard perked up and looked at him expectantly.
Their eyes seemed to ask, Really?
Chen Shi smiled. "What? Worried I'm lying to you?"
Metagross and Charizard hurriedly shook their heads.
Their Trainer might goof around sometimes, but he had never actually lied to them.
He had always delivered on his promises.
Seeing Metagross and Charizard brighten up, Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Raising Pokémon was no easy job. It was not just about planning sensible training and providing suitable resources and nutrition.
The Pokémon's emotions mattered a great deal,
