Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Wang Jin could tell that this Pokémon was specially trained to improve its abilities and take over. The combat ability of this injured Pokémon was already very weak and it posed no threat.

Let Doronyx take the opportunity to upgrade its ability twice to deal with the next Pokémon's trump card. The Pokémon that may have the ability to push the team is the key.

Poplar threw out the Poké Ball again:

"Big mouth baby!"

A yellow, doll-like Pokémon leapt onto the battlefield.

Its huge jaws are made of deformed steel horns. It often uses its docile appearance to lull its opponents into a state of carelessness, then suddenly turns around and bites its opponents with its huge jaws.

Wang Jin immediately focused his attention and began to investigate his strength:

[Name: Big Mouth Baby]

[Attribute: Steel]

[Level: Level 57]

[Characteristic: Forced]

[Carrying Items: Life Orb]

[Master the moves: Scare, Shout, Take the Baton, Bite, Charge, Swallow, Spray, Surprise Attack, Iron Wall, Crumble, Sweet Scent, Iron Head, Provoke, Fake Cry, Ice Fist, Thunder Fist...]

A big-mouthed kid carrying the orb of life!

Wang Jin was a little surprised.

This was the first time he saw a trainer bringing items to Pokémon during a battle. The resources in the Galar region were relatively scarce, and there was also a historical tradition of not bringing items into battle. In short, Pokémon almost never carried anything with them.

Although some items do not have the magical powers in the game, they can improve Pokémon's battles.

For example, the Life Orb carried by Mouth can increase the power of Pokémon's moves by reducing its physical strength.

However, the characteristic of this big-mouthed baby is force!

The Forced attribute can also increase the power of a Pokémon's moves, but it is only limited to moves with additional effects, and the cost is to make the additional effects ineffective.

For example, if Big Mouth uses Iron Head, in addition to damage, Iron Head may also cause the enemy to flinch. Then under the forced characteristic, the flinch effect that may be caused disappears and the damage is increased.

The side effect of reducing physical strength caused by the Life Orb is also considered an additional effect and can be offset by the forced characteristics!

Since Poplar used it in this way and took out this Pokémon, she must be clear about its function.

After Big Mouth appeared, Wang Jin immediately asked Duolongqi to raise his position and stay away from Big Mouth below.

With Duolongqi's small body, if he were hit by the big-mouthed kid's double-amplified iron head, he might lose his combat ability directly.

......

Palace Gate Arena Hall.

The contestants who had finished the battle gathered here, including some alliance staff, who were also watching the battle on the central screen at the edge.

Old man Ruby sat on the sofa in front of the right side of the screen and whispered:

"Is this big-mouthed kid of Poplar a new one?"

Granny Sha next to her continued:

"It's been more than ten years... The big-mouthed kid we met before, I'm afraid he can't withstand a fight of this intensity."

"It's much stronger than the previous one. Do you remember the moves used by Poplar's Big Mouth... The power of the moves is always unexpected. At the gym owner level, it can launch king-level attacks, and the power of the champion-level moves is comparable to that of a beginner master." Ruby commented with a frown.

After hearing this, Grandma Sha narrowed her eyes and said nothing.

In their championship match, Granny Sha was eliminated by Poplar. The big mouth baby with a move that was far more powerful than ordinary ones made her mentally collapsed at that time.

Now, after several decades, I think it should be a feature plus some specific props...

"The characteristic should be forced, but...what kind of prop is it?" Granny Sha has rarely come into contact with props, so she is a little confused.

Ruby also shook his head, saying he didn't know. He wasn't a trainer who liked to carry gadgets into battle.

"No need to think about it, it must be the Orb of Life..." Maru, who was eavesdropping openly while lying on the back of the sofa, said casually.

"The Orb of Life?"

The two old men turned their heads at the same time and stared at Maru who was watching the battle on the screen with full concentration.

"Life Orb..." Ruby frowned and thought carefully, then said slowly: "I remember that its function is to increase the power of Pokémon's moves, but at the cost of consuming Pokémon's stamina..."

"Yes, it's the Life Orb!" Granny Sha suddenly thought of the key point, "The forced characteristic should be able to offset the side effects of the Life Orb?"

She turned her head again and stared closely at the big-mouthed kid on the screen who was releasing his moves at will, and she was somewhat certain of this guess.

But Grandma Sha raised her eyelids again and looked at Maru with a scrutinizing gaze.

Maru felt this familiar gaze and felt a chill all over his body. He asked with gritted teeth and sniffed:

"Mother-in-law, what are you looking at me doing...I didn't do anything!"

"How did you know the secret of their cultivation?" Ruby turned around and asked.

Granny Sha also nodded repeatedly. In her opinion, Maru has always been a stupid kid. How could he suddenly have an epiphany and guess that it was the Orb of Life?

Besides, Maru is a native of Galar. If you don’t go and learn more about it, you won’t even be able to recognize all the props, so how can you guess the answer?

"I... I thought I knew it all..." Maru scratched his head in confusion, "Brother Jin told me that when we were training our Galar Daruma Baboons, there was a monkey with the characteristic of "One Will" that could be paired with a fancy headgear, and there was a nut dumbbell with the characteristic of "Iron Thorn" that could be paired with... what... what was it..."

He rubbed his head with both hands, but still couldn't remember it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Granny Sha's eyes moved slightly, and she felt relieved when she heard that.

It turns out that Maru is still a bit stupid. He doesn't have much talent in training and nurturing Pokémon. In fact, he can be considered as an acquired effort.

As expected, what he said was told to him by Wang Jin. Unfortunately, Maru didn't seem to listen carefully and didn't even remember these precious, inherited trainer experiences.

Hateful!

Granny Sha's expression was one of disappointment.

Ruby was much more open-minded. He had already guessed that it was Wang Jin who said that.

This kind of trainer knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation should have been obtained by Wang Jin from his mother who was from Kanto. Wang Jin's mother might be the daughter of a big family in Kanto, and she didn't know how she ended up in Galar...

As his thoughts raced, he smiled and waved for Maru to come closer again, and said in a gentle and persuasive manner:

"Maru, do you remember..."

......

The observation room on the top floor of the battlefield.

Roz said loudly with a smile:

"A big mouth with the forced characteristic and the life orb, plus the attack and special attack bonus after Togekiss took over... Wang Jin's Doronyx will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of this big mouth. After that, I'm afraid it will be Poplar who will be the one to take on the other."
