I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

[Ding! Task released: Leave photos and footprints in the Victor's Palace/Rewards: High-level Rare Candy x20, Bronze Crown x1, Silver Crown x1, Ability Enhancement Stone (Ability Level +1) x3!]

As soon as Gary finished speaking, the system released the task.

This task reward includes an extra item that Gary has never seen before, the Ability Enhancement Stone, which increases the Ability Level by 1.

Obviously, the Ability Enhancement Stone is used to enhance a Pokémon's Ability. 

In the games, Pokémon Abilities are fixed, and there is no difference in strength between them. 

However, in reality, Pokémon's Abilities can vary in strength. For example, Charizard's Blaze Ability doesn't always provide the same level of improvement when triggered.

For instance, the Charmander that Ash captured later had a terrifying improvement when its Blaze Ability was triggered. 

Not only did the power of its Fire-type moves increase several times, but its attack, defense, and speed were also enhanced.

So in reality, Pokémon's Abilities can be strong or weak. 

Since the system rewards Ability Enhancement Stones, it also means that in reality, there are Pokémon with stronger Abilities than others with the same Ability.

But at the moment, Gary has no time to think about this he still has to continue to apply to challenge the Chief Trainer.

"Oh, challenging the Chief Trainer. It's been a long time since anyone has come to challenge," Nurse Joy said with some surprise. 

"Then may I ask Mr. Gary, have you collected all 4 badges of the Southern Cross?"

"Of course."

Gary took out the badge case and opened it, revealing the 4 badges of the Southern Cross inside.

Seeing the 4 badges, Nurse Joy was surprised and then said, "Excuse me, Mr. Gary, do you have something to prove your identity?"

"Here." Gary took out the Pokédex and handed it to Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy took the Pokédex and confirmed Gary's identity.

"Okay, your identity is confirmed. I will help you register."

Nurse Joy typed Gary's information on the keyboard and then said, "Okay, the application has been approved." 

"The match between you and Drake will be held in a week, at Pummelo Stadium, at 9 am, and it will be a full-team battle."

"Can we just go there when the time comes?" Gary asked.

"Yes, please prepare well. Do you have any other questions?" Nurse Joy asked.

"No more, thank you."

After confirming the time, Gary came to the teleporter area and planned to ask Professor Oak to send a few Pokémon over.

Drake is currently the Chief Trainer of the Orange League. 

Defeating him can get so many rewards, which shows that Drake is still quite powerful, especially Drake's Dragonite. 

Judging from its performance in the animation plot, the Dragonite is definitely at the Elite level otherwise, it would not be so easy to defeat several of Ash's Pokémon.

On Shamouti Island, Gary saw the level of Pikachu. 

Currently, Pikachu is at level 53, which is the semi-elite level. Judging from this, the strength of the six Pokémon in Drake's hands is roughly between semi-elite and elite.

Gary decided to use Blastoise, Tyranitar, Electivire, Moltres, Eevee, and Articuno to fight.

After teleporting Tyranitar and Electivire, Gary rented an indoor venue and began to adjust the battle conditions of the six Pokémon.

The current levels of the six Pokémon are as follows:

- Blastoise LV59

- Tyranitar LV63

- Electivire LV52

- Moltres LV50

- Articuno LV55

- Eevee LV53

After Pokémon reach level 50, the improvement speed is very slow. Even if you train every day, it is good to be able to improve by 1 level in a month. 

This is still for Pokémon with high potential. 

Those Pokémon with quasi-elite potential can only be upgraded by one level in two or three months.

Gary estimated that it would take at least 2 to 3 years for a Pokémon with champion potential to grow to the champion level, of course, except for Ash. 

For those with special abilities, as long as the Pokémon has good potential, the level can be quickly upgraded.

For example, Ash is born with the power of aura. The power of aura is a kind of spiritual energy, which is very helpful for the growth of Pokémon. 

In the journey chapter, the strength of the 5 Pokémon that Ash captured was able to be upgraded to the champion level thanks to the history of aura.

Except for Gengar, which were picked up for free, Dragonite, Lucario, and Sirfetch'd were not very high when they were captured by Ash. 

Especially Lucario, which was hatched by Ash from a Pokémon egg. 

It was able to keep pace with champion-level Pokémon so quickly because of the power of aura. 

However, Lucario can control the aura by itself, which makes it a very suitable Pokémon for Ash to train.

In ancient times, each aura guardian had a Lucario. 

This is why Ash always gets to the full-team battle every time he goes to a new region and uses the newly captured Pokémon to participate in the League Conference.

As Ash grows older, even if Ash cannot control the aura, the aura in his body will spread out unintentionally to help the Pokémon around him grow. 

Moreover, the power of aura can not only help Pokémon grow but also has many other functions, such as removing negative mental conditions, such as confusion, sleep, obsession, etc. 

These conditions have a probability of being removed.

Because Ash woke up Pokémon by shouting in many battles, he actually accidentally triggered the power of aura and ended the negative condition of the Pokémon.

But these are all later stories, and this aura power belongs to Ash and has nothing to do with Gary. 

The only ability Gary can tap is the ability of a breeder.

But for now, Gary still has to defeat Drake first.

After gathering the Pokémon, Gary began to show Drake's game videos to his Pokémon so that his Pokémon could understand all of Drake's Pokémon.

Drake's Pokémon were not only the 6 Pokémon that fought Ash but also Rhydon, Arcanine, and Gyarados.

"Drake's strength is not very strong. No one has defeated him for three consecutive years. He is so lucky," Gary complained.

Originally, Gary paid attention to Drake's strength, but after watching Drake's previous game videos, except for the relatively strong Dragonite, the strength of Drake's other Pokémon was just normal, and there were even many mistakes in command during the battle.

It can only be said that the level of the Orange League's Chief Trainer is too poor, especially this Chief Trainer Drake is too bad, and he can't compare with any of the Elite Four of the Kanto League.

"Okay, now that we've watched the video of the game, you all have a general idea of what skills Drake's Pokémon can use. Use this week to adjust your condition to prepare for the battle in ten weeks," Gary said.

"Blastoise!"

"Tyranitar!"

"Electivire!"

"Moltres!"

"Articuno!"

"Eevee!"

Blastoise and the others all nodded, saying that they would definitely play well in the game in a week. Drake would know how powerful they were.
