Chapter 209: 209

3 days later, in Pewter City.

Alex, sitting in a room, undisturbed, was meditating while he waited for today's rookie participants to gather.

His Pokémon were not idle in this room as they were training moves on the side of the training room.

After Alex bought the items, he gave almost all of them to his Pokémon so that they could begin absorbing the power of these items.

This led some of his Pokémon to successfully improve their potential.

-----------------------------

The following items were used but had no visible influence on the potential.

- Corpse of a High-Elite Arbok with S-rank talent

- Corpse of a High-Elite Parasect with S-rank talent

- 3x [Spoon] filled with Psychic-energy for 3 straight weeks by a High-Elite Mr. Mime

- Corpse of a High-Elite Steelix with S-rank talent

- 2x [Glove] filled with 2 weeks of Fighting-energy by a High-Elite Machamp

- Corpse of a Low-Elite Ditto with the S-rank talent

In addition, Eevee got 2 out of 3 [Scales] of the Champion-level Exploud with SS-rank talent from Alex and successfully managed to improve her potential to the Deep Gold rank.

Alex's plan was to save 1 [Scale] and 1 [Top-Moon Stone] so that they could be used during the Eevee's evolution process. Although he was not 100% sure that it would be enough to get Eevee on the Shallow Diamond rank, he believed that the probability was very high.

What surprised Alex was that after giving the [Top-Ice Gem] to Vulpix, she became a Deep Gold Pokémon.

He didn't think that she would get on the Deep Gold rank so effortlessly. But later he thought, she was born with a Gold potential and that the first item that she had absorbed, he could understand why it happened.

Alex suddenly felt that if he gave [Top-Ice Stone] to Vupix, she would definitely become a Shallow Diamond Pokémon. And after that, it shouldn't be impossible to get her on the Diamond Talent with enough valuable high-quality items.

Although Alex would like to do that as soon as possible, he knows that using an [Ice Stone] on Vulpix too early can cause various problems.

For example, after the evolution, she cannot learn a move without TMs, which is a huge disadvantage.

Besides, Alex does not know how a Pokémon that has not reached a good level mentally would act if it is forced to evolve and live in its 'adult' form.

Alex decided to wait for a little longer. It's also not the case that Alex's fighting strength would make a significant jump if he does that now.

Alex gave all of these items to his Pokémon without much expectation. He knew that the number of items needed to bring Pokémon like Crobat, Scizor, and Gardevoir to the Shallow Diamond talent would be high.

Bastiodon should have an easier time because he was born on the Shallow Gold rank, but he should also need a good number of items.

Combusken and Eevee should have no problems getting into the Shallow Diamond rank after they both got into the Deep Gold rank with a further evolution. Especially because Alex has prepared good items for both to increase the chance.

Alex thinks that the final aim for Shuppet and Vulpix is not Shallow Diamond but the Diamond Talent.

In contrast to other Pokémon, it should be feasible to bring Shuppet and Vulpix to the Diamond rank with enough good items.

Alex had the feeling that Crobat, Scizor, Gardevoir, and Ditto's talent had almost reached their limit. And they would have no effect unless the item is from a Full-Blood Legendary Pokémon. So he wouldn't buy any items for these 4 after they have reached the next rank.

Although Alex doesn't want to do that, it makes no sense to waste money on something unlikely. It is ok to spend millions on a Pokémon so that it can reach the next rank. But Alex can't spend hundreds of millions with the faint hope that the Crobat, Scizor, or Gardevoir would achieve the Diamond rank. Which is not difficult for Pokémon like Shuppet and Vulpix, who were born with a Gold talent.

For Eevee, Bastiodon, and Combusken, Alex wasn't quite sure yet. Because these Pokémon were born with a Shallow Gold talent, it should be a lot easier for them to reach this rank compared to Gardevoir, Crobat, or Scizor. Even then, it would take an extravagant amount of money. Alex was not sure how long it will take for most of their potential to reach Diamond-range.

When Alex thought about the talent of his Pokémon, he couldn't help but be a bit of a conscious about Stevens Pokémon.

Each of Steven's Pokémon has at least the same talent as Shuppet and Vulpix, so it was not impossible for Steven's Pokémon to also achieve at least the Diamond-rank.

According to Alex, Metagross, in particular, should also reach the Deep Diamond rank with enough good items. With Steven's money and connections, that shouldn't be a problem.

Alex stopped thinking about this stuff and continued to focus on his meditation.
