This wasn't the effect of a Pokémon move boosting its performance. It was practically like... swapping engines?!
Impossible. Swapping engines while driving? There had to be some method of increasing the engine's power.
It wasn't a Pokémon move...
Shan Sheng felt his brain struggling to keep up. "A Style Technique?!"
Starting by learning existing Trainer Skills, then gaining mastery through practice and extensive experimentation to develop a unique new skill.
