"Rain Dance? Too easy, just do this and that, and Sunny Day is the same as other weather."
"What about Magic Space, Trick Space, Mystic Space, Lucky Spell, Teleport, Psychic Terrain, and Switcheroo?"
"Even simpler, just train any Psychic-type Pokémon like that." "
Skills, what about Meditation, Magic Reflection, Psychic Noise, Wide Area Power, Magic Dazzling Gleam, Precognition, and Wish?"
"The first five just need casual practice, the latter two require some talent and then practicing in this way."
"What about Role Play, Swap Ability, and Foul Play? In reality, you can't always acquire your opponent's abilities and utilize their physical attack power, can you?" "
Link, you haven't grasped the essence of these three moves yet. They actually operate on this principle..."
"Then 'Recycling' can't be done, right? Reality isn't like the Dream Realm where things can be created out of thin air."
"Why not? Reality can also record the state of things and manipulate matter."
"Then how does the Water Wave Finneon evolve into Finneon Warrior?"
"Just awaken the Ancient Gene. There are many methods. Once it's strong enough, try feeding it some Star Peach Blossoms to stimulate it?"
"I see. So, Mew, do you really only need one move, 'Sealing,' to render all the other Pokémon helpless?"
"It depends. The 'Sealing' move actually has many uses. Even humans can use it to seal things. Didn't the ancient Hoenn seal Regirock and the others..."
The few minutes before Link woke up were incredibly beneficial. He even rallied his mental strength to listen to Mew's general teaching and explanation of these moves, and even time seemed to stretch out considerably.
Unfortunately, he couldn't stay in the PDW for long. He didn't have time to fully learn the principles and practice methods of these moves before his consciousness began to fade and dissipate.
Helpless, he had to temporarily abandon his attempt to learn more from Mew: "Thank you, Mew, you've helped me a lot! I'm afraid there's not enough time this time. Next time I come, I'll try to make some of my hometown's..."
Before he could finish, Link vanished in front of Mew.
"Huh? What are you going to give me? Why ask so many questions when you could just bring them in? If you know there's not enough time, just finish the important parts!"
But Link couldn't hear him anymore.
When he woke up, he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him.
"Fennekin, I can't... I can't breathe..."
"Fen...?"
It wasn't that heavy (9.4kg).
So, reluctantly, it moved to Link's side.
But soon it twitched its nose and discovered the sudden fruity scent in the room.
Fennekin looked around and finally realized the scent was coming from Link's berry bag.
"Those are berries I brought from the Pokémon Dream World."
Realizing he hadn't mentioned Pokémon Dream World to his Pokémon, he took the opportunity to explain the concept to them.
Although Fennekin and Finneon couldn't understand how Unova's Dream World could be a purely spiritual world, they believed him since the trainer said so.
Then, looking all adorable, they waited for their midnight snack.
Link checked the time; it was already six o'clock. He got up early, washed up, and put away the Starf Berry. "Let's keep these for now. We still have quite a few Poffins left. We'll save these two to boost our stats when we challenge the Rustboro Gym."
He had already asked Mew in his dream that the so-called "primordial power" of the Starf Berry was just a figure of speech, a misconception caused by its rarity and difficulty in growing. It wouldn't cause any sudden power surge like taking a magic pill.
Moreover, even a young Pokémon like Fennekin, which couldn't utilize the full effect of the berry, wouldn't be harmed by eating a whole one; the nutrients and energy would remain in its body and slowly take effect.
As for whether it would make them fat... Mew said that as long as a Pokémon maintained exercise, even if it became a giant, it could slim down back to its species' optimal size.
Besides, obesity and gigantism are two different concepts; the former indicates insufficient exercise, while the latter is a symbol of power.
All Pokémon possess the ability to shrink, just like wild Pokémon that shrink spontaneously when near death and hide inside a berry. Human Poké Balls were invented based on this principle.
By simply mastering the technique of controlling size, one can freely switch between larger and stronger modes, and smaller but more energy-efficient modes.
Groudon is as huge as a mountain in battle mode, but in energy-efficient mode, it's only about 3.5 meters tall, right?
Those overlords, bosses, and Pokémon masters all prove the logic of "the bigger, the stronger."
Mew thought that if Link's Fennekin really ate too much and grew bigger, as a trainer, he should be happy, right?
It can only be said that Link rationally agrees with Mew's idea, but emotionally, it's really hard to accept a Fennekin growing to the size of a Pokémon master...
Fortunately, Pokémon can shrink on their own, and one has to thank Arceus for designing such a convenient ability for plot development for Pokémon at the beginning of creation.
"I'll see if I can find someone to trade for the Secret Seasoning when I go to PDW later."
Link thought to himself, taking his Pokémon outside for a walk, and also letting the Water Pulse Finneon, which had been soaking in the tank all night, swim in the sea for a while.
"Fen..?"
Fennekin asked curiously if he had thought of a way to let the Water Pulse Finneon participate in battles on land.
"Of course I can figure it out, but…"
Link hesitated for a moment before explaining, "This would require a lot from you. You would need to master the 'Secret Power' to create a large number of trenches and caves in the area, and then use the Water Wave Finneon to create a large amount of water to form a pool." "
In this way, even a standard land-based battleground can create an environment where Water Porpoise can move freely.
However, in reality, while there's no limit to the number of moves a Pokémon can master, time, effort, and energy are finite.
Your own moves always hit, while the enemy's always miss.
Even though there's no limit to the number of move slots, from Bug Catchers to Champions, the whole world can't muster moves like Protect, Whirlwind, Defog, Taunt, Slap, White Mist, Black Mist, Black Gaze, Sudden Attack, Deception, Flattery, Stomach Acid, Bug Return, Curse, Destiny Bond, and Perish Song.
Yet, your team can teach a Pokémon a wide variety of moves, ensuring that no matter what the opponent uses, you always have a fully mastered and powerful variation move or a super-effective high-power move to counter it…
This isn't impossible, but it requires a very powerful cheat.
Link's simulator isn't weak, but all its output is focused on him as the trainer… making it difficult to maintain.
He can't even participate!
Therefore, both he and Fennekin need to make trade-offs in moves and tactics."
