"You want to ask if there are other reasons?"
Alex instantly understood what Jason wanted to express.
Jason nodded. If Diancie was considered a full-level boss-level Pokémon, then Jason believed that the current Pokémon of the three of them were definitely beginners.
But a beginner being able to withstand so many attacks from another beginner of the same level seemed simply illogical.
Especially since his Vulpix's subsequent Ember attacks were enhanced with Flash Fire Ability.
"This involves the relationship of attributes. You should have noticed that Pokémon have different attributes, just like my Diancie."
"It belongs to the Rock and Fairy types, as we've seen on the Pokédex." Lily answered, blinking her big eyes.
"Yes, Diancie is Rock and Fairy, and Pokémon's attributes are classified into 18 types."
Alex was momentarily surprised, then laughed and said.
"Eighteen?"
Hearing that, Emma, Jason, and Lily were shocked.
Wow, eighteen attributes? That seems overwhelming.
"Boss, what are these eighteen types?" Jason asked with curiosity.
Although he guessed there should be a lot of attributes, especially since Alex mentioned before that Pokémon's attributes can be understood as their own elements.
But he didn't expect there to be as many as eighteen.
Emma and Lily were also extremely curious.
"Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Ice, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Dragon, Dark, Fairy."
Alex recited the 18 Pokémon attributes clearly.
"Ghost? Are there really ghosts?"
"So there really is a dragon type?"
"What about Dark and Fairy?"
Hearing that, the reactions were different, especially Lily. Hearing that there was really a dragon type, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's a Ghost type, not a real ghost."
"As for the dragon type, of course, it's real. As I mentioned before, one of Charmander's final evolutions includes a dragon type."
"As for Dark and Fairy types, they're a bit harder to describe exactly. Someone will eventually catch them, and you can find out more about them."
Like a teacher facing curious students, Alex answered Emma, Jason, and Lily's questions one by one.
It's really not easy, the Trainer Beginner's Manual must be created.
"The reason why Vulpix's Ember didn't seem to do much damage to Charmander before was because attributes have mutual strengths and resistances."
Then Alex spoke up.
Hearing this, Jason and Emma were instantly intrigued.
"Charmander is a fire type, and fire-type Pokémon are resistant to fire-type moves, so the damage Ember can do to Charmander is naturally limited."
Speaking of this, Alex glanced at Lily, who was listening with interest.
So how unfortunate is Charmander?
To be forcibly incapacitated by Vulpix using Ember...
"Hey hey hey! Boss, your eyes are very rude! It's so shameless of you to look at my Charmander like that!"
But unexpectedly, Lily could read Alex's eyes in an instant, and she stood up and said angrily.
"Hmmmm!" Alex nodded in agreement.
So perfunctory, soulless!
Lily clenched her small fists, feeling frustrated!
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west! Wait, it seems like it won't take that long?
Lily blinked, realizing she might have misunderstood something.
"So, my Squirtle?"
Emma didn't notice her friend's frustration at all but thought of her little turtle.
"That's right, Squirtle is of the Water type, and water-type moves are strong against fire types. With your current level, Squirtle should be the strongest among the three Pokémon."
"Squirtle Squirtle!"
Alex spoke more euphemistically. After all, the three of you are all beginners. If beginners battle each other, the advantage of attributes is significant.
And Squirtle also jumped out very timely to make its presence known.
Jason: "..."
"Boss, can you buy more than one Pokémon here?"
Suddenly, Lily asked Alex.
"Of course, but all three of you have already drawn for free. If you want to draw Pokémon next, you will need to pay extra."
Alex blinked, feeling that Lily was showing her usual enthusiasm!
"Money is not a problem! I'm going to draw now!"
Lily waved her hand very confidently. Didn't she know that all her friends called her a money warrior?
I'm sorry, this lady lacks everything except money!
Emma couldn't help but pat her forehead, knowing that her friend's old habit had kicked in again.
"Please!"
Alex handed his store manager Pokédex to Lily, his voice confident.
After all, this girl is a big customer.
"Hmph! This lady is going to draw a dragon straight away!"
Lily wiped her hands on her shorts very solemnly, adding a sense of ritual.
When she draws, she'll teach the fox who bullied her Charmander a lesson!
Relying on a Flash Fire Ability to be so arrogant!
Jason touched his chin, looked at Lily, who was about to draw a Pokémon, and fell into deep thought.
He actually wanted to draw again, but his pocket money was almost gone. After all, he had borrowed some of the Vulpix money from his cousin.
Cousin...
Jason was thinking about how to ask his cousin to lend him more money...
"Give me a dragon, please..."
Lily solemnly clicked 'go,' and black shadows continued to flash across the Pokédex screen.
Emma peeked curiously, wondering which Pokémon Lily would draw this time.
"Dragon is not so easy to draw."
Alex looked at the nervous Lily and shook his head.
For eight generations of Pokémon, dragon-type Pokémon are actually rare, and they are definitely one of the attributes with the fewest Pokémon.
Soon, the shadow of Pokémon on the store manager's Pokédex began to freeze.
What will it be?
