Chapter 1012: Ability, Transistor!

2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)

"So, what do you think? Want to journey with us?"

Ash slowly approached Regieleki, asking in a soft voice.

"Bibi~?"

However, the latter just hopped left and right on the ground, its dot-matrix markings flashing, seemingly unable to understand Ash at all.

Its body, composed entirely of electronic crystals, meant that Regieleki's head was also an electronic brain.

Not unlike Brother Red.

After being sealed by the ancient humans, its memory had been completely wiped. At this moment, it was like a newborn infant, unable to comprehend anything too profound.

"In that case..."

Ash looked at the Insulated Poké Ball in his hand and instantly had an idea.

*Swoosh!*

He tossed the Poké Ball high into the air with a grand wave of his hand.

"Pikachu, use Electro Ball!"

Pikachu understood. It performed a backflip on the spot and simultaneously launched a ball of electrical energy toward the Poké Ball.

It was all pure flair.

*Zzzzzzt!*

The Electro Ball hit the Insulated Poké Ball, and electricity immediately burst forth.

"Bibi!"

This scene made Regieleki's dot-matrix markings flash wildly. If it had a mouth, it would've been drooling.

*Zzz-swoosh!*

Its body instantly bounced high into the air.

Though it was just a normal physical movement, its speed was astonishingly fast, as if it had truly transformed into a bolt of lightning that was hard to track with the naked eye.

Ash secretly estimated that this speed was already on par with Pikachu's Quick Attack.

Regieleki rammed its head straight into the Insulated Poké Ball.

*Zzz-swoosh!*

In the next instant, the entire pillar of electricity, along with Pikachu's Electro Ball, was sucked into the ball.

*Clack, clack...!*

The Insulated Poké Ball shook three times on the ground before becoming still.

"The capture was a success...!"

Unable to suppress his immense joy, Ash stepped forward and scooped the Insulated Poké Ball into his hand, cradling it like a precious treasure.

"Pika~!"

Pikachu, on his shoulder, had the same expression. It could finally have a little brother of the same type!

Wattson: "..."

He was silent as he witnessed this capture process.

*What the hell? Why does even this capture process look so similar to when I play frisbee with my electric dogs?!*

However, this Electric Titan was truly very different from the other Titans.

"The legendary Three Titans were Pokémon personally crafted by the Titan King, who used special clay to mold them in its own image..."

Wattson couldn't help but recall a secret record he had once read.

"Later, the Titan King grew tired and gave up on molding the pillars with its palms. Instead, it inserted vines into the clay and casually flung them toward the sky to create new Titans. This is also why some pillars look very different from the legendary Three Titans."

Ash, Brock, and Blue: "?"

Was he telling a myth? Why did it sound so strange?

With Regieleki stored in its Poké Ball, the Pokédex had now completed its physical scan of the Electric Titan. Ash quickly pressed the playback button.

His Pokédex was linked to his Poké Balls.

Similarly, Professor Oak, far away in Pallet Town, also learned that Ash had captured a new Titan that wasn't one of the original three.

"Beep, beep. Regieleki, Nickname: Pillar Two, is an Electric-type Pokémon."

Hearing this, Ash was stunned. Who gave it that name? How did it already have a nickname?

Was it a name it already had?

And why did this name make him feel an urge to beat it up, as if it was incredibly unruly?

The Pokédex paid this no mind and continued its report:

"Beep, beep. Ability is tentatively designated as: Transistor."

This was the first time any of them had heard of this ability, and they all perked up their ears to listen.

"Beep, beep. Transistor. A Pokémon with this ability will have the power of its Electric-type moves increased by 50%."

As the Pokédex's voice fell, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Keep in mind, items like Charcoal and the Magnet only increase the power of their corresponding-type moves by 20%.

What did 50% even mean...

It was basically equivalent to using Surf, and the Transistor ability would directly boost its power to that of a Water Spout at full HP!

If it used Water Spout, the power would even surge past 200!

This was an absolutely terrifying ability.

"But it only boosts Electric-type moves..."

Ash clenched the Insulated Poké Ball in his hand. No matter what, this was an incredibly powerful and rare Pokémon.

Moreover, the speed he had just witnessed was also terrifyingly abnormal.

But from the looks of it, it would still need a good period of training.

With the Mauville Gym business concluded, the sky began to darken, and Ash and his friends prepared to leave.

"Haha~ I could have hosted you for a few more days, but you know I'm going to be very busy for a while~"

Wattson laughed heartily, scratching his head.

The upcoming New Mauville would require a great deal of his time to manage.

"The next time you return to Mauville City, maybe New Mauville will already be open, haha~! Be sure to come and visit this dream city then~!"

Wattson just let out his trademark laugh.

Ash, Brock, and Blue exchanged a glance. Although the Mauville Gym matter was over, they could rest in the city for a few days. There was no rush to head to the next city with a Gym.

There was still some time before the Hoenn League Conference began.

"If you're looking for a fun place, there's a commercial street in the center of Mauville City that's perfect for tourists~"

Before they parted ways, Wattson offered a suggestion:

"Especially a place called the Battle Food Court. The more powerful the trainer, the more top-tier delicacies they get to eat~"

The dual appeal of food and battles instantly made Ash's eyes light up.

"What do you say? Let's go check out that Battle Food Court tomorrow!" Ash said eagerly, looking at his two companions.

"A combination of food and battling, huh? A little interesting..." Brock mused, stroking his chin with a look of interest. "If it's food, I won't miss it~!"

Blue, a seasoned foodie, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

As evening fell, the three didn't head directly to the commercial street but first went to the Mauville City Pokémon Center to rest for the night.

The next morning.

Ash was already on the balcony early, practicing a set of military-style boxing for his morning workout.

Conquering a Gym and capturing a legendary Pokémon on top of that had left him too excited to sleep all night.

"Ash, the genius trainer I have the highest hopes for, the pride of Pallet Town, hurry up and send this Electric Titan over!"

Professor Oak, far away in Pallet Town, had also been up all night, constantly spamming Ash with messages.

A Titan separate from the legendary Three Titans... This was an incredible, huge discovery!

Ash replied politely but did not agree to Professor Oak's request.

"Definitely next time."

Right now, Regieleki was no different from a newly hatched Pokémon. It was better to keep it with him for a few more days.

Besides, hadn't he just sent that sealed Spiritomb back?
