Kebi stopped Heal Pulse and patted Fearow, saying, "Mr. Tie Xuan, let's fly directly back to the Pokémon Center in Mauville City on my Fearow. This will allow Magnezone to receive treatment as quickly as possible."
Tie Xuan recalled his six Pokémon and nodded.
"Thank you."
As soon as he met Kebi, the thunderstorm and Zapdos he had been waiting for fifty years appeared, indicating that this young man was his lucky star.
Riding Fearow towards Mauville City, Tie Xuan pondered how to express his gratitude and what Kebi might need.
Before arriving at the Pokémon Center, Tie Xuan finally decided what to give Kebi.
Meanwhile, on Mt. Chimney, Kebi was descending the mountain, one foot wet and one foot slipping.
However, his face was full of smiles because the reward for checking off Magnezone's battle against Zapdos was so generous that he couldn't help but laugh.
【Pokémon Detector Upgrade Component: After upgrading, the detector will provide Pokémon data faster and more comprehensively, and offer corresponding training directions and suggestions.】
It was a very practical function.
Magnezone was too severely injured, and his Psychic power was all used to treat Magnezone. The remaining mental power was not enough for Kebi to use Confusion to lift himself down the mountain.
Descending in such road conditions was too dangerous, so Kebi directly released Tyranitar, instructing him to dig a cave in the mountain.
He entered the cave to change into clean clothes, ate something, and began Calm Mind, waiting for the thunderstorm to stop before descending the mountain.
He waited until dawn.
Looking at the bright sunlight outside the cave, Kebi's expression changed.
"Oh no, I made an appointment with Xiao Shun to watch his Gorgeous Competition today!"
He could only use his Psychic power to lift himself, flying towards Mauville City at the fastest speed.
Mid-flight, Kebi encountered Fearow returning.
"Wow!"
Fearow flapped his wings and turned, and Kebi landed on Fearow's back.
"Quick, to the Pokémon Center."
Ever since he caught Fearow, he hadn't used Fearow in battle; he had only ridden Fearow to fly on the road.
Fearow was indeed very useful.
Hurry-scurry, he finally arrived at the Pokémon Center just before the Gorgeous Competition began.
Kebi jumped off Fearow, "Sorry, I'm late."
Xiao Shun threw the red rose in his hand to Kebi and said, "It's fine, it starts in ten minutes, so you still have time to enter, but the good seat I saved for you is definitely gone."
Xiao Shun looked at Kebi's shoes, which still had mud on them, "What did you do after we parted yesterday?"
Kebi smiled proudly and said,
"Although I was a bit disheveled, I witnessed a battle of the century last night: Mr. Tie Xuan's Magnezone versus the legendary Pokémon, Zapdos!"
Xiao Shun's eyes widened instantly. "Zapdos, from the legendary Pokémon! Who won?"
"Zapdos, and I felt that Zapdos still had power to spare. He seemed to handle Mr. Tie Xuan's ace with ease."
That wild lightning was deeply etched in Kebi's mind.
It gave him a clear goal for nurturing his Electric-type Pokémon.
His request wasn't high; being on par with Zapdos was enough.
Entering the venue, Kebi felt the fervor of the Gorgeous Competition and the audience's passion.
It was truly lively.
Even ordinary eliminated contestants, they and their Pokémon managed to display some flair with their moves, possessing a certain beauty.
For contestants like Xiao Shun who advanced to the second round, one aspect—be it power, speed, beauty, or the Pokémon's unique temperament—would always stand out.
Kebi also gained inspiration from the training methods of these contestants for their Pokémon.
For the Gorgeous Competition to be so widely promoted, it must have its merits.
Of course, Mikoli becoming the Hoenn Champion was also a huge boon for Coordinator Trainers.
It proved that the power of Coordinator Trainers was no less than that of traditional Trainers.
How exciting! How truly exciting!
Occasionally watching a Gorgeous Competition was indeed a feast for the eyes.
It allowed both Kebi and his Pokémon to fully immerse themselves in training once again.
Tyranitar and Fearow were too large to be released from their Poké Balls to watch the competition, but the Great Ball from the system allowed them to observe the outside world from within their Poké Balls.
Experiencing an entertainment event like the Gorgeous Competition for the first time, they were equally excited within their Poké Balls.
At the end of the competition, Xiao Shun successfully obtained the Mauville City Ribbon.
"Alright, I need to head to the next town to participate in other Gorgeous Competitions. I look forward to your good results in the Electricity Cup."
"Goodbye. I might go watch the Grand Festival. Train hard, and you must achieve a good result then."
After exchanging blessings, Xiao Shun left Mauville City with Roselia.
Kebi turned towards the treatment area, and Tie Xuan was indeed there.
"Mr. Tie Xuan, how is Magnezone doing?"
"Nurse Joy said that Magnezone's injuries were indeed severe, but they received excellent treatment immediately, so he only needs three to five days of rest to recover."
"If it weren't for you, Magnezone might have been out for a month."
Tie Xuan patted Kebi's arm, "Come with me, I have something to give you."
The place Tie Xuan took Kebi to was also in the Pokémon Center, but it was a Pokémon Egg incubation room.
Nurse Joy was examining a Pokémon Egg with a yellow shell and three black circular patterns.
"Mr. Tie Xuan, the Pokémon Egg you left at the Pokémon Center is in good condition, and its estimated hatching time is in half a month."
Tie Xuan pointed to the Pokémon Egg, "The gift I want to give you is this Pokémon Egg, from my Electivire and another Electivire that went to the Yamabuki Research Institute for evolution."
"Those invited by Dr. Shanli are all well-known Trainers who raise Electabuzz. This Elekid Pokémon Egg I received can be said to be what you young people like to call a Pokémon with exceptional talent."
【Pokémon Egg (Elekid)】
【lv70 lv0】
【Ability: Static】
【Aptitude: Purple (56/100)】
It still had half a month until hatching, and during this half month, Elekid's aptitude would further increase, and there was also the newborn period after hatching.
If Kebi could collect a batch of rare resources suitable for Electric-types, by the time Elekid left its newborn period, Kebi would have a golden-aptitude Elekid!
Tie Xuan continued, "The Champion prize for this Electricity Cup is an Electirizer, which can evolve Electabuzz into Electivire."
"But evolution is not the Electirizer's only function. Long-term carrying of the Electirizer will have a promoting effect on the talent and abilities of Electric-type Pokémon."
"However, the drawback is that it will cause wear and tear on the Electirizer, making it unusable for Electabuzz's evolution."
Kebi's eyes lit up; he had to win this Electricity Cup!
Kebi had heard of this method of using an Electirizer, similar to Pikachu using a Light Ball, constantly consuming the Light Ball to give Pikachu the ability to release electricity beyond Raichu.
It was rumored that some Trainers and researchers were studying how to apply this technique of the Light Ball to other Electric-type Pokémon, making the Light Ball a common consumable.
The investment behind this seemed to come from a company that produced Light Balls.
This company also raised Pikachu and distributed them for free to children who wanted to become Trainers.
"Leave the Pokémon Egg at the Pokémon Center for now. You can come pick it up after the Electricity Cup. For now, focus on training your Pokémon and preparing for the Electricity Cup."
"I look forward to personally presenting the Champion trophy to you."
Kebi looked at the Elekid's Pokémon Egg with burning eyes, clenching his fists, "I will work hard and not let down Mr. Tie Xuan's expectations!"
