After the match, Jiang Mo returned to his hotel room, the scenes of Elisa's battle replaying in his mind.
The terrifying strength displayed by her Alakazam put a lot of pressure on him.
If he couldn't find a countermeasure in the finals, his chances of winning would be very slim; the level gap was simply too large.
"Elisa's Alakazam... its level can actually soar to 65, maybe even 70..." Jiang Mo murmured softly, his brows furrowed.
As early as Elisa's match, Jiang Mo had checked Alakazam's basic information through the game panel.
Putting aside everything else, its level alone reached 62.
The strength of an early Elite was already formidable, but what was even more terrifying was that Jiang Mo discovered that after Elisa connected with Alakazam using her Psychic, Alakazam's level directly soared to 65!
To be able to directly increase a Pokémon's level through Psychic, even if it was temporary, was incredible.
At the same time, Jiang Mo also discovered through the game panel that Alakazam was holding a Mega Stone, which indicated that Elisa's Alakazam had also mastered Mega Evolution.
Generally, Mega Evolution can increase a Pokémon's strength by 5 levels. Calculating this, if the two could stack, conservatively estimated, Elisa's Alakazam could reach level 70 in terms of level alone when going all out!
One must know that this was already the standard of an Elite Four peak!
"This level gap, relying solely on tactics and type advantage, can no longer compensate..."
Jiang Mo suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment. His highest-level Pokémon was Pikachu, which was only level 58 at this time, meaning it was only a late Gym Leader Class.
Below that were Gengar at level 56 and Tyranitar at level 57. The level suppression was too great, and the chances of winning were extremely small.
There was nothing he could do; Elisa was cheating, with all sorts of unlimited external buffs. Alakazam's stamina was simply inexhaustible.
Suddenly, Jiang Mo thought of his Tokiwa Power.
Since Elisa could amplify Alakazam's strength through Psychic, could he also increase his Pokémon's level through Tokiwa Power?
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited. If he could master this method, there might be a turning point.
However, Jiang Mo was completely at a loss about this. He then thought that as the Lin family's inherited power, his mother, Lin Zhiqiu, had also mastered Tokiwa Power much earlier than him, and perhaps she had different insights.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mo immediately dialed his mother Lin Zhiqiu's video call.
After the video connected, Lin Zhiqiu was applying a face mask. Seeing Jiang Mo's face appear on the screen, she immediately smiled: "Xiao Mo, why did you suddenly think of calling Mom? Do you miss me?"
Lin Zhiqiu had watched Jiang Mo's matches on TV on time. She hadn't expected her son to be so strong now. One must know that it had only been two years since he became a Trainer. As a mother, she was proud of Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo smiled, his voice tinged with urgency as he said, "Mom, I have something I want to ask you."
Lin Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Oh, so our Xiao Mo has times when he needs to ask me? Go on, what is it?"
Jiang Mo took a deep breath and spoke his thoughts: "Mom, I encountered a very strong opponent in the match. Her Psychic can amplify her Pokémon's level."
"I'm wondering if Tokiwa Power can achieve a similar effect?"
Lin Zhiqiu understood after hearing this. She had indeed heard that Psychics could enhance the strength of Psychic-type Pokémon through Psychic.
However, this was only temporary, and a Psychic could usually only bond with one Psychic-type Pokémon that was in sync with their mind.
The two could share Psychic, and the Trainer's Psychic could serve as a backup stamina source for the Pokémon, but this also had flaws.
Once the Trainer's Psychic was exhausted, the Pokémon would also lose its supply source, and the amplification of level and stamina would naturally disappear.
Jiang Mo was curious how his mother knew so much. Lin Zhiqiu rolled her eyes at him; she had also watched Elisa's match, and Lin Zhiqiu had contact with the Europa Alliance royal family.
Their royal family members seem to have Psychic blood flowing in their veins, making it very easy to awaken Psychic, and once they awaken Psychic, they will look for a Psychic-type Pokémon that is in sync with their mind as a partner.
And they generally only capture one Pokémon, and Princess Elisa is one of the outstanding members of the Europa Alliance royal family. She should also only have Alakazam as her Pokémon.
Hearing this, Jiang Mo suddenly realized. No wonder he had never seen Elisa send out any other Pokémon. He had thought it was because her Alakazam was too powerful, but it seemed there was this other reason.
However, Jiang Mo was still very troubled. If Elisa went all out, she could crush him just by level.
Plus, Elisa was already older than him and had been a Trainer for longer.
If the two were the same age, Jiang Mo didn't think she would be his opponent, after all, he was also a cheat. But the problem now was that the level gap between them was too large, and the match might end before Elisa's Psychic was exhausted.
Lin Zhiqiu looked at Jiang Mo's troubled expression and couldn't help but laugh.
This question was indeed asked to the right person. Lin Zhiqiu had mastered Tokiwa Power for over twenty years and indeed knew how to use Tokiwa Power to increase a Pokémon's level.
Sure enough, a son is still a son; he still needs to learn more from his mother.
Then Lin Zhiqiu continued, "Tokiwa Power can indeed enhance a Pokémon's strength, but it's not an easy task."
Jiang Mo's eyes immediately lit up: "Mom, do you know how to do it?"
Lin Zhiqiu nodded and continued, "Tokiwa Power has three levels. The first level is healing injuries, the second level is improving a Pokémon's aptitude, and the third level is increasing a Pokémon's level."
"You have already mastered the first two levels, but the third level... requires more practice and comprehension."
Jiang Mo asked eagerly, "Mom, can you teach me?"
Lin Zhiqiu smiled, her voice tinged with indulgence as she said, "Of course, but you need to be mentally prepared. This is not something that can be mastered overnight."
Lin Zhiqiu still poured a bucket of cold water on Jiang Mo beforehand because using Tokiwa Power to enhance a Pokémon's strength was quite difficult.
It was possible that Jiang Mo might not be able to master it before the finals began, and the level of increase and duration were tied to the individual Trainer, varying from person to person.
Generally, the more proficient one was in using Tokiwa Power and the more abundant their stamina, the higher the level increase and the longer the duration. It was still unknown to what extent Jiang Mo would be able to achieve at that time.
Jiang Mo couldn't care less about all that. He was still thinking about winning the Champion's legendary resource reward. Whether he could do it or not, he would try first.
