"Okay, it's your turn next, Scizor."
After teaching all the skills that should be taught to the Pokémon's, it's time to enhance Scizor's ability.
"Scizor!?"
Scizor was surprised. It had learned new skills, so why was it its turn again?
"This time, I'm going to improve your ability because your ability enhancement is the most cost-effective," Gary said.
Scizor's ability is Technician, and it has dual types. When using moves with power less than or equal to 60, the power is increased by 50%, and combined with the STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), the power is very impressive.
For example, if Scizor uses Bullet Punch with a power of 40, it can hit with 80 power, effectively doubling it.
Anyway, if Scizor uses moves with power less than or equal to 60, the power is doubled.
But the maximum power is 120, and I don't know to what extent the power will be improved after enhancing the Technician ability.
"Scizor."
Scizor nodded. Anyway, no matter what, it is always a good thing to improve its strength.
Gary put his hand on Scizor's hard steel armor, used the last Ability Enhancement Stone, and then checked Scizor's attributes.
```
[Pokémon: Scizor♂]
[Type: Bug, Steel]
[Level: 55]
[Potential: Champion]
[Ability: EX Technician (When attacking, you can increase the power of moves below 80 power by 100%.)]
[Moves: Leer, Quick Attack, Fury Cutter, False Swipe, Wing Attack, Slash, Bullet Punch, Metal Claw, Double Team, Iron Head, Air Slash, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Rest.]
[Taught Moves: Rest, Hyper Beam.]
[Intimacy: 255 (maximum value 255)]
```
"Oh my god, such a big improvement!" Gary was surprised. The potential is increased to Champion level.
There are quite a few Steel-type moves below 80 power, such as Iron Head. With STAB and ability, it has a power of 200, which is as terrifying as Self-Destruct.
Even if you don't use this move, all moves with power below 80 will be doubled.
"Tyranitar, come here..." Gary immediately called Tyranitar over to test Scizor.
"Roar." Knowing what Gary wanted to do, Tyranitar was happy to accept it.
It was usually the most resilient in Gary's Pokémon team. Tyranitar's defense ability was much better than that of other Pokémon.
"Scizor, use X-Scissor," said Gary.
"Scizor!"
Scizor rushed to the front of Tyranitar quickly, crossed its claws, and slashed. Tyranitar also crossed its arms to resist Scizor's attack.
Clang!!
The heavy body of Tyranitar was pushed backward, leaving a scratch more than two meters long on the ground.
"Roar!" Tyranitar showed disbelief, not expecting to be repelled. It usually asked Scizor to spar with it.
Usually, it would not be repelled if hit by X-Scissor. How did Scizor suddenly become so powerful?
"How do you feel? How many attacks like this do you think you can resist?" Gary asked.
"Roar." Tyranitar felt its arms swell up and thought it could only withstand four or five attacks like this.
Although Tyranitar has no high resistance to Bug-type moves, it can still easily defend against them with its strong physical defense, and Scizor can now easily break Tyranitar's defense.
If Scizor uses Iron Head, Tyranitar will not be simply repelled several meters away, and the armor on its body will probably be cracked.
"Okay, Scizor, try to use moves with lower power when you are training in battle," Gary said.
After all, Scizor's ability is a passive skill. As long as you use moves with a power of less than 80, you will get the ability bonus.
If it is a special attack move, it's okay [the physical attack report is a bit scary].
"Scizor!"
Scizor nodded to show that it understood. In the future, when fighting with Blastoise and Tyranitar, it will use moves with higher power.
Blastoise, Tyranitar: →_→! What do you mean, you little bug!
In the following days, Gary stayed in Pallet Town, supervising the training of his Pokémon and taking care of other Pokémon in the Laboratory.
A week later, Gary and Professor Oak watched the Chief Trainer Challenge of the Orange League.
Although he said that he didn't care about Ash's game, Gary's body was still very honest to watch the game on TV.
Ash performed very well, at least more calmly than in the original story.
There was no problem with the Pokémon he sent out, and they performed normally, except for facing Dragonite, where it seemed a little weak.
But in the end, it defeated Dragonite with the help of Pikachu with the advantage of numbers.
However, Ash did not send Tauros but replaced Tauros with Snorlax.
Gary was still very curious about Ash's Snorlax. After all, Snorlax is a very difficult Pokémon to train because of its own sleepiness.
It is obviously a very strong Pokémon, but it is too lazy to train.
In the animation plot, the only Snorlax worthy of praise is Ash's Snorlax. This Snorlax is not only strong but also a flexible fat Pokémon.
In fact, according to the original plot, Gary also captured a Snorlax, but that Snorlax was resting all day.
But since Gary came here, he didn't plan to capture too many Pokémon, and he didn't encounter Snorlax along the way, so he didn't capture it.
"Ash also defeated Drake. It seems that Ash has grown a lot during his trip to the Orange Islands," Professor Oak said.
"It's okay, there are no big mistakes. Grandpa, I have to go out in two days, and I will probably be back in a while," Gary said.
"Go out? Where?" Professor Oak asked in confusion.
"I heard that there is a very powerful Machoke on the road to the Indigo Plateau Conference. I want to go and see it," Gary said.
"You already have a Annihilape, and you are planning to capture a Fighting-type Pokémon," Professor Oak said.
"Annihilape is good, but it's not enough to capture only one Fighting-type Pokémon, and I also like Machamp. I thought about catching Machop before, but I didn't meet any that satisfied me along the way," Gary said.
"Is that so? Then you go," Professor Oak was a little reluctant, not because he was reluctant to let Gary leave, but because he had more time to observe Pokémon with Gary's help during this period.
Now that Gary is leaving, Professor Oak has to take care of the daily life of Pokémon in the Laboratory.
Although he can still observe Pokémon during this period, he still has to distract himself from work.
"Grandpa, why don't you ask Aunt Delia to help you?" Gary suggested.
