Pokemon: The Gameboy Effect-Chapter 337: The Three Trials

[Defeated Ursaring LV70, Blaziken gained 7,122 experience points]

[Among the scattered items, you found the training jacket]

[Defeated Crustle LV70, Machamp gained 7,779 experience points]

[Among the scattered items, you found the training shirt]

[Defeated Lycanroc LV70, Greninja gained 7,341 experience points]

[Among the scattered items, you found the training pants]

It had been two hours since John found the three stolen training clothes and returned.

He’d walked around a good portion of the Isle of Armor during his search.

John’s first impression was that the Pokemon levels here were incredibly high! fгeewebnovёl.com

These weren’t Trainer Pokemon, but wild Pokemon!

None of the wild Pokemon were below level 60, and many exceeded level 70. John had even spotted a level 80 Wailord far offshore from the beach!

These would require Champion-level Trainers in other regions, but here they were just ordinary wild Pokemon.

It must be because Mustard had been managing this place for so long. With constant battles, the Pokemon levels here had naturally increased over time.

Nothing else mattered, even if he just came here for training and leveling up, it would be an excellent choice.

He could also use this place for shiny hunting. Once shinies appeared, they’d all be high-level Pokemon ready for immediate use.

Putting on the training outfit, John returned to the martial arts dojo entrance.

Inside the dojo, Mustard was holding a small teapot in one hand while keeping his other hand behind his back, patrolling the courtyard. When he saw John approaching, he stepped forward for a closer look.

[Mustard: That’s right, it’s my outfit. It looks very spirited on you!]

[Mustard: Go find the senior disciple. He’ll tell you what to do next.]

[Master Mustard Martial Arts reputation unlocked, current reputation: Ordinary Disciple 0/1000]

This... this is it?

That’s the end?

If he wasn’t getting a Kanto starter, John wouldn’t approve of this.

John remembered that after completing the first part of Mustard’s trials, he should be rewarded with a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

Obviously, the plot had changed. While the trial remained the same, the rewards were different.

Could he still get Kubfu after completing all three trials?

John walked into the martial arts dojo to find the senior disciple.

This was a muscular man in a yellow and black training uniform, recording something with pen and paper in his hands.

John spoke to him.

[Senior Disciple: Recently, the Isle of Armor hasn’t been peaceful. Pokemon have gone berserk due to excessive Dynamax energy in many locations. It would be great if some disciples could help clean them up.]

Options then appeared:

[View Reputation Store]

[Apply for Promotion Assessment]

[Reputation Quest: Clean up Pokemon driven mad by excessive Dynamax energy]

Reputation quests and a reputation store!

John raised his eyebrows and quickly clicked into the reputation store to see what valuable items could be exchanged.

[Master Mustard Martial Arts Reputation Store]

[Ordinary Disciple: Training Outfit (1,000 watts), Experience Charm (30,000 watts), Armor Ore (100,000 watts)]

[Core Disciple: Max Soup Recipe (100,000 watts), Wishing Star Fragment (1,000,000 watts, limited to 10 purchases per month), Expert Seed (1,000,000 watts, limited to 10 purchases per month), Silver Bottle Cap (10,000,000 watts, limited to 3 purchases per month)]

[Personal Disciple: Kubfu (limited to one per person), Master Mustard’s Personal Guidance (limited to one per person), Gold Bottle Cap (100,000,000 watts, limited purchases per month)]

John’s gaze was immediately drawn to the three rewards that could only be obtained with "Personal Disciple" reputation.

Kubfu!

The pre-evolution form of Urshifu!

He really could get it!

A gleam suddenly appeared in John’s eyes.

This Kubfu was a must-have!

No matter how difficult the reputation quests were, he would complete them all!

For no other reason than it was a legendary Pokemon!

Apart from Kubfu, the other two rewards offered by Master Mustard personally... John thought they were decent, but the Gold Bottle Cap couldn’t be ignored.

He remembered from playing the gameboy games before that the Gold Bottle Cap’s purpose was to conduct "Hyper Training", making all six stats of a Pokemon reach their maximum Individual Values.

In other words, whatever the stat panel looked like when a perfect IV Pokemon was trained to its limit, that’s what a Pokemon looked like after using the Gold Bottle Cap for Hyper Training.

Of course, this limit was related to the Pokemon’s own level.

If it was level 70, then it could reach the limit that a LV 70 Pokemon should have! However, John remembered that NPCs only conducted Hyper Training for Pokemon at level 100.

With this item, it didn’t matter how many perfect IVs your Pokemon hada, fter Hyper Training, its abilities would be the same as a perfect IV Pokemon.

The rewards available in the "Core Disciple" section were also excellent.

The Max Soup recipe he wanted was right there.

There were also Wishing Star fragments. With those, he could ask Professor Sonia to make Dynamax Bands for sale.

He wasn’t sure about the Expert Seeds’ effects yet.

As for the Silver Bottle Cap, he remembered it was a weakened version of the Gold Bottle Cap. The Gold Bottle Cap maximized all six stats of a Pokemon, while the silver version only perfected one stat.

Many Pokemon in John’s lineup had 4 or 5 perfect IVs.

Using a Gold Bottle Cap would be somewhat wasteful, but the Silver Bottle Cap would be perfect.

As for the exchange options for ordinary disciples at the front, John wanted to directly exchange items for examination, but was immediately reminded that the currency needed to exchange items was "watts."

John’s education hadn’t failed him, he immediately realized this was a unit of "power."

But thinking about it again, this was the Pokemon world.

Watts referred to a currency used in the Galar region’s Wild Area.

The way to obtain them was by investigating those "Pokemon dens" that had energy outflow.

He just needed to find Dynamax Pokemon lairs himself.

That was fine, he’d find Dynamax Pokemon dens on his own.

There was no need to buy the first two items, as John already knew their effects.

The Experience Charm allowed Pokemon to gain increased experience, having the same effect as a "Lucky Egg." He just didn’t know if they could stack.

They should be able to, he remembered the Experience Charm was placed in the bag as a key item, while the Lucky Egg was held by Pokemon!

With it, he could level up much faster.

As for the Armor Ore, John remembered he could give it to Master Mustard’s disciples in the martial arts school as payment for move tutoring.
