"Ding! Aron won an official battle! Earned 120 Training Points! Gained a large amount of experience!" "Ding! Iron Head, Iron Defense, Superpower, and Tackle proficiency increased!" "Ding! Aron leveled up to Lv33!"
Great! Aron leveled up too!
Yong's mood brightened even further!
Just then, Kazuma's voice rang out.
"Congratulations on passing the Recovery Room! You can go through this door to reach the next stage!"
"All right! Thank you for your guidance!"
After saying goodbye to Kazuma, Yong entered the next room. Sure enough, it was exactly like the previous one, with two doors before him under the dim lights!
Yong placed Aron's Pokémon Ball in the healing machine, then stepped forward.
The door on the left was labeled the One-Hit KO Room, while the one on the right was the Protection Room.
"A knockout or protection?"
Looking at the two doors, Yong gradually began to understand their meaning. Were they showing challengers the paths their Pokémon could take?
Power and speed, recovery, accuracy and resistance to stat reduction, and now One-Hit KO and protection!
They essentially covered the directions Pokémon could develop in, though that was only a broad generalization.
Without hesitation, Yong walked straight into the One-Hit KO Room. He wanted to see whether his opponent's attacks could really knock out his partner in a single hit!
He pushed the door open, and his eyes soon adjusted to the change in lighting.
Across from him, a young, black-haired man, also wearing a uniform, watched him quietly before speaking.
"Welcome to the One-Hit KO Room! I'm Ace Trainer Naoki!"
"Hello! My name is Yong!"
Yong took his place in the challenger's position and calmly looked at his opponent.
"Very good!"
Naoki nodded.
"Now that you've reached this room, you're just one step away from the final room!
