Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Simulating Tinkatuff Again

A/N:1/14 Bonus Chapters

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

The questions Crasher Wake asked were not actually that difficult.

It was just that he had come from a wrestler’s background and was something of a self-taught Trainer.

Because of that, he had not grasped the finer details of everything Trainers needed to pay attention to when growing.

He was completely raising Pokémon as if they were wrestlers.

After listening to Julian’s explanation, Crasher Wake suddenly understood and nodded.

"I didn’t expect Pokémon raising to be so complicated. I thought our wrestler training was already enough."

"According to what you said, my Pokémon still have a lot of room to grow."

Crasher Wake became a little excited.

If he strengthened the areas Julian had mentioned, then even against those Gym Leaders who restrained Water types...

It was not as if he could not fight them.

Julian had taught him so much genuinely useful knowledge. He felt that he had to show his thanks somehow.

Most of his money had been invested into Pastoria City’s development.

For example, he had contributed to dredging the waterways in the Great Marsh.

Just as Crasher Wake was feeling troubled, Octavius walked over.

"What are you two doing here? Come over and eat with us!"

Octavius the cowboy and Crasher Wake the wrestler really were friends with similar interests.

After hearing Crasher Wake explain, Octavius casually waved his hand.

"Julian is just that kind of person. I practically put the Great Marsh’s best Pokémon in front of him, and he still didn’t take them."

"Compared to precious treasures, if you give him some high-quality local ingredients from Pastoria, I think he’ll accept those without hesitation."

Crasher Wake’s eyes lit up.

"If we’re talking about ingredients, Pastoria’s aquatic produce is definitely top-tier in Sinnoh. I have a few friends."

"One runs a farm, one runs a ranch, and one runs a fishery. I’ll go to them and get Julian some top-grade ingredients they don’t usually sell!"

Compared to making money, some farmers were more willing to keep the very best ingredients for themselves to enjoy.

After all, the point of making money was to live better.

If they sold the rare good things just to make money, would that not be missing the point?

When Julian learned that Crasher Wake could help buy top-grade Pastoria ingredients, he became very excited.

"That works. Just having a way to buy those ingredients already makes me happy. But I must pay for them myself!"

"Once we get the ingredients, I’ll let you two taste my cooking!"

Octavius nodded repeatedly.

"Julian’s cooking really is exceptional. Last time I ate his food, I nearly swallowed my own tongue!"

Looking at Octavius’s expression, Crasher Wake did not feel like he was exaggerating.

Is it really that good?

...

"Delicious! Truly delicious!"

Crasher Wake had eaten plenty of these ingredients over the years.

Even the most delicious food could become ordinary after eating it too often.

But today, these ingredients felt like they had been given new life.

His three friends were also eating at the table and nodding repeatedly.

"Next time Julian comes to buy ingredients, just charge him cost price. We’ll provide the ingredients again."

"When the time comes, we’ll have to trouble you to cook another table like this yourself!"

"I never expected our salmon could be cooked like this!"

Carrying a large amount of high-quality ingredients, Julian returned to Veilstone Gym feeling thoroughly satisfied.

He would soon be setting off for the Paldea region, so he had to return quickly to pack his things and arrange the Gym’s work.

More and more Trainers were coming to challenge Veilstone Gym specifically because of him.

If this was not handled properly, it would be easy for dissatisfaction to build among those Trainers.

Julian had already asked Kai to publish an announcement on the official website and the forum in advance.

It stated that, for the sake of his Pokémon’s training, he needed to leave for a trip of uncertain length.

After returning, he would notify everyone immediately.

He believed that this training trip would allow him and Veilstone Gym to better draw out the potential of Trainers who came to challenge them.

If Primeape smoothly evolved into Annihilape, then Trainers challenging Veilstone Gym for their seventh or eighth Badge would have a rough time.

But that might not be a bad thing.

A little hardship before the Conference would help them achieve better results once they reached it.

Annihilape would not be an unreasonable monkey either. He would know how to temper Pokémon properly.

After evolution, Annihilape would control his body through his soul. Compared to now, his temperament should become a little steadier.

Julian only hoped that this trip would allow him to successfully find an Annihilape.

The Great Crater of Paldea was not a kind place.

He knew that the Paldea region had begun developing the Great Crater over a thousand years ago.

Yet only two hundred years ago had an expedition finally managed to enter it.

Later generations then treated the expedition’s results as nonsense.

That meant no one after them had successfully explored the deeper parts of the Great Crater.

Julian only remembered that the results brought back by that expedition were mostly true.

Too much time had passed, so he could no longer remember clearly.

If not for reading the materials Professor Rowan had sent over, he would not even have recalled that much.

After receiving two challengers and completing evening training, Julian washed up and lay back on his bed.

Tonight was simulation time again!

Last week, he had simulated an Electric-type Yamper.

Those four short legs had been humiliating.

Because his legs were too short, while being chased by an enemy and trying to cross a tree root, he tripped.

The result could be imagined.

Fortunately, it had not been the worst C-rank evaluation.

He had received B-rank and increased his Electric affinity by 0.1.

It had been his first time being a dog, and he had not adapted well.

Especially since it was a short-legged corgi.

He had been embarrassed beyond belief.

The moment the time arrived, Julian immediately felt full of energy.

This time, he would wash away his shame!

System, begin simulation!

[Beginning random attribute selection...]

[Random result: Fairy type]

[Detected that the host has a surviving Fairy-type simulated Pokémon. You may choose that Pokémon and continue the simulation]

[Alternatively, you may randomly select a Fairy-type Pokémon]

Julian’s eyes lit up!

Just as expected. He had known those simulated Pokémon that survived could be simulated a second time!

Perfect. During this period, Julian had learned a great deal of forging technique from Uncle Tsukasa, as well as methods for strengthening the body through hammering.

If he simulated Tinkatuff tonight, he believed he could evolve into Tinkaton in one go.

As for Archaludon...

System, choose Tinkatuff!

When his eyes opened again, Julian had returned to that small Fairy-and-Steel body.

Tinkatuff!

The place where Julian woke up was not the back of Corviknight, where the last simulation had ended.

It was the mine mountain.

The war hammer in his hands was still the same one as before.

He stretched out a hand and gently stroked the war hammer.

"I didn’t expect to see you again."

Julian had originally thought that after he threw the war hammer and knocked Archaludon’s head off course, the hammer would definitely be eaten by Archaludon.

In the end, that had not happened.

After striking Archaludon’s head, the war hammer had flown into the bushes.

Archaludon had not specially searched for a single hammer.

Compared to the war hammer, Archaludon had felt that Magnezone was more delicious.

His gaze sharpened.

"Old partner, we can fight side by side again!"
