I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

Chapter 710 - 710: Togekiss Turns Misfortune Into A Blessing

Gary looked at Togekiss, who was eating happily. This guy was truly heartless and didn't even know how dangerous things had been today.After Togekiss finished eating, Gary scolded it seriously: "You rascal. I told you not to cause trouble outside. If I hadn't found you in time this time, you would have suffered badly."

Togekiss: "Toge! (#`皿´)!!"

"What did you say? You were just tricked by accident this time, and you'll definitely not let it happen next time?"

Gary had thought Togekiss had learned a lesson and wouldn't dare do it next time.

As a result, it had learned the lesson, but it would still dare to do it next time. It had just gained a little more conscience and would no longer stash suspicious things in its carry space.

"You haven't learned any lessons at all. Next time, you're not allowed to cause trouble inside the company. If you want to prank someone, just prank passing Trainers in public places—that's still okay. Do you hear me?" Gary warned.

Togekiss: (^_^)?

Togekiss looked clueless.

"If you're disobedient, I can only lock you in your Poké Ball in the future, and you won't have any time to move freely," Gary warned.

"Toge."

Hearing that it was about to be locked up, Togekiss reluctantly nodded and agreed for the moment.

"Toge! Toge!"

Togekiss suddenly called out to Gary again.

"What! You've mastered a new move?"

Gary was a little surprised.

Togekiss hadn't leveled up. When Gary had checked its data just now at Exceed Company, there hadn't been much change. It had only been a few hours, yet suddenly it had awakened a racial move—this was unprecedented.

Normally, Pokémon only awaken racial moves when they level up or evolve.

"Let me take a look."

Gary immediately checked Togekiss's data.

[Pokémon: Togekiss ♀]

[Type: Fairy / Flying]

[Level: 70]

[Potential: Legendary]

[Ability: EX Serene Grace (When using a move with an additional effect, the probability of that additional effect appearing is multiplied by 4. If it exceeds 100%, the additional effect will definitely occur.)]

[Moves: Growl, Pound, Sweet Kiss, Life Dew, Metronome, After You, Double-Edge, Safeguard, Baton Pass, Wish, Fairy Wind, Air Slash, Sky Attack.]

[Taught Moves: Attract, Psychic, Flamethrower, Mega Kick, Reflect, Rest, Signal Beam, Rain Dance, Fire Blast, Protect, Body Slam, Shadow Ball, Dazzling Gleam, Defog, Drain Punch, Hidden Power.]

[Friendship: 255 (255 max)]

"You really did awaken a new move... Wait! Why did your potential become Legendary?" Gary was shocked.

Togekiss had not only awakened a new move, but its potential had also increased by a full tier.

"Toge?"

When Togekiss saw Gary looking shocked, it thought Gary was making too much of a fuss.

Although the Sky Attack it had awakened this time was quite powerful, it was nothing compared to the moves Professor Gary had taught it.

"You really are worthy of your Super Luck Ability," Gary said.

Togekiss: "Toge? (O_O)??"

What?

Awakening a new move counts as luck?

A Pokémon's potential improvement couldn't be felt by the Pokémon itself, so naturally Togekiss didn't notice it.

Gary had originally scoffed at the Laquium Fragment, because it was an item with a "seven-injury fist" effect. He hadn't expected it to actually improve Togekiss's potential.

Although Gary had never seen what the Laquium Fragment actually looked like, since it was a fragment, it definitely wasn't very large. Yet such a small thing had actually raised a Pokémon's potential to Legendary—this went far beyond the jump from Elite to Champion.

The higher a Pokémon's potential, the harder it was to improve. In other words, the Laquium Fragment had the possibility of improving a Pokémon's potential.

"If it can really improve potential, why didn't the system mention that?" Gary was confused.

Originally, Gary hadn't been interested in the Laquium Fragment, but now, seeing that Togekiss had improved its potential because of the fragment... he had to be interested.

Gary had a lot of Pokémon, and many of them needed their potential improved. Relying solely on the system's rewards to improve potential wasn't enough. If Laquium Fragments could be used to improve a Pokémon's potential, it would be a huge boost to Gary's entire team.

However, it would be very difficult to obtain Laquium Fragments. The key issue was that Gary wasn't clear about Exceed Company's standing in the Paldea region, nor did he know how rare the Laquium Fragments were.

At least from Cervantis's attitude, the Laquium Fragments were extremely important to Exceed Company, and they were even conducting classified research on them.

"I'll look into it first."

Gary recalled Togekiss, returned to his room, and used the computer there to search for information about Exceed Company.

According to the information online, Exceed Company was a company that developed Pokémon-related products, and there was no Pokémon research among its listed industries. From this, Gary could judge that the Laquium Fragments were strictly protected by Exceed Company. Anyone unrelated probably didn't even have the qualifications to know the name.

"I'll deal with this later."

Gary thought about it and concluded that the Laquium Fragment must be related to Liko. There were still three years before Liko became a Trainer. If he got involved now, it might disrupt the later plot. Better to set it aside for now.

After spending the last night resting in Levincia City, the next morning, Gary asked Tracey to teleport over Cyclizar so he could ride it to the next city.

Because he was worried that Togekiss hadn't fully recovered yet, Gary didn't choose to ride Togekiss. Instead, he chose to ride Cyclizar.

Cyclizar's speed wasn't slow anyway—it just took a little more time. Time wasn't pressing for Gary. There were still four days left before going to the Great Crater of Paldea.

As long as the Gym Leaders weren't on business trips or resting during that time, it would be enough for Gary to finish the remaining Gyms. He could even look for Gyms that had never appeared before to challenge.

Because people in the Paldea region had the habit of riding Cyclizar, highways had naturally been built. Gary rode all the way, crossing hundreds of kilometers before finally arriving in the western area of the Paldea region.

It was already 2:00 PM when he arrived. Gary had taken a break to prepare food for his Pokémon; otherwise, he would have arrived an hour earlier.

Cyclizar really was great. This was the first time Gary had ridden it for such a long distance. Since it usually stayed at Professor Oak's Laboratory and no one rode it, it had really missed being able to run.

"We've arrived!"

The rooftops of buildings appeared in front of him, indicating that Gary had reached a place where humans lived.

As he gradually got closer, he could confirm it was a city. No further description needed.
