However, as for these things, Natsuhiko's understanding is limited to the more common materials. He doesn't know much about the rest that have special functions, so the advice he can give isn't substantial. It all depends on Flint's own choice.
Another example is Hilona.
Natsuhiko did promise to teach her.
Hilona has more or less decided that Gardevoir is her target for the Dual Core.
Unlike Natsuhiko's unlimited Defense Swap Dual Core, it is uniquely Hilona's Dual Core.
Natsuhiko more or less gave some suggestions.
Overall.
They have basically thought it out before going on stage.
Except for Natsuhiko.
As the Champion, the last one to pick, he hasn't made up his mind.
Because the prize list didn't specifically mention the Quasi-God Pokémon as a reward.
The reason is simple.
It is to avoid making other contestants feel unbalanced.
So Natsuhiko can only know after going on stage.
As a result.
As the top sixteen took the stage, the audience's cheers kept coming in waves, never ceasing.
When distributing rewards, the order was entirely different from the order of taking the stage.
Starting from those ranked highest among the top sixteen.
Then those ranked highest among the top eight.
Each rank's prize level is different anyway.
The enormous, dazzling prize platform is laden with so many things.
It makes one's mouth water at the sight.
This yet again showcases the brilliance of the "Island Competition" organizers.
The "Lily Youth Competition" prizes are collected privately, quietly making a fortune.
But the "Island Competition" chooses to openly display them, without any reservation.
Such blatant flaunting might make some feel sour, but for most, it stirs the thought… If only I could choose as well.
This unintentionally boosts the allure of holding events at the Manaro Arena and in the Lalola Region.
During the top eight, although Kona showed a bit of hesitation, she still chose the "Vanillite" as Natsuhiko suggested.
When stepping down, she winked at Natsuhiko.
Receiving an encouraging look from Natsuhiko.
Of course, choosing Vanillite.
He still has a few Ice Sandshrews that haven't been trained. While they might start a bit behind the league ones, Kona using resources to boost them up isn't too hard.
Flint chose a stone that could enhance the abilities of a Rock-type Pokémon, intended for Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's strength is somewhat lagging in his entire Pokémon team.
Lance and Hilona each chose what they needed.
They didn't choose Pokémon.
Lance has the Dragon Taming Race as a backup, plus the Dragon Cave, and doesn't have a big craving for Dragon-type Pokémon. The other Pokémon didn't meet his requirements; thus, he chose an item.
Hilona, on the other hand, had been advised by Natsuhiko to think carefully about what she really needed and what form would suit her without feeling awkward.
Ultimately, the lineup must be something the trainer finds compatible.
Even if Natsuhiko's Dual Core was given to Hilona, she couldn't use it.
So the second core isn't urgent; strengthening the first core first is necessary before considering the second.
Gardevoir and Hilona's other Pokémon haven't spent much time together yet, so their momentum isn't great; what's needed is time.
So Hilona chose an item that could enhance Gardevoir's psychic control.
Finally, only Natsuhiko and the host remained on stage.
After everyone else left, the host brought out a small laptop detailing the data of a few Pokémon.
Three in total.
All were Quasi-God Pokémon, and none had been trained.
The first one.
From the Kanto Region.
Pokémon: Dratini
Gender: Female
Type: Dragon
Trait: Magical Scale
Power assessment: Not available
Inherited techniques: Dragon Breath, Dragon Dance, Dragon Dive, Divine Speed
Mastered techniques: Tight Binding, Glare, Electromagnetic Wave, Tornado, Dragon's Fury, Dragon's Fluctuation, Frozen Wind
Upon seeing the details of this first Dratini, Natsuhiko's eyes couldn't help but widen uncontrollably at the situation.
He looked at the host.
Fortunately, the host didn't know what was on it, merely smiling at the champion who almost ruined his career.
Natsuhiko took two deep breaths to regain his composure.
Not to mention anything else, just the inherited techniques "Dragon Dance" and "Divine Speed" clearly highlight the value of this Dratini.
Additionally, with so many inherited Dragon-type techniques, it is an indication of how rich the Dragon-type blood is.
Although Fatty has many flaws, its advantages are more numerous, making it undoubtedly a benchmark among Quasi-God Pokémon.
The only regret is that Fatty cannot Super Evolve.
But this still doesn't affect its status among Quasi-God Pokémon.
If the first Pokémon is like this, will the ones following be worse?
Natsuhiko had a hard time holding back his excitement and flipped to the next.
Pokémon: Bagon
Gender: Male
Type: Dragon
Trait: Forcefully
Power assessment: Not available
Inherited techniques: Water Cannon, Dragon Dance, Dragon Dive, Flame Fang
Mastered techniques: Anger, Sparks, Glare, Bite, Dragon Breath, Headbutt, Qi Gathering, Dragon Claw
Sure enough.
Seeing this Bagon's details made Natsuhiko's eyebrows slightly relax.
Another Pokémon not inferior to Dratini in terms of either inherited techniques or Dragon-type bloodline.
Bagon's final evolution, Salamence, compared to Dratini's final evolution, shares the same attributes. The biggest advantage is that Salamence can Super Evolve.
