"I see you've acquired quite a few Pokémon these past two days. Release them, and I'll take a look for you."
Jiang Yuan glanced at the Poké Balls at Jiang Chen's waist and the Ralts nestled in Jiang Chen's arms. This shiny Ralts was good; its height even seemed a bit taller than ordinary Ralts. Moreover, it was very energetic. He had noticed this Ralts was unusual ever since Jiang Chen returned.
One should not underestimate the insight and intuition of an Elite Four. When judging a Pokémon's potential, sometimes they are even more professional than a professor.
Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and released all his Pokémon. Now, including Riolu, Jiang Chen had seven Pokémon: Dragonite, Ralts, Beldum, Riolu, Squirtle, Nidorina, and Wobbuffet.
"Except for this Wobbuffet, they all seem good. This Wobbuffet looks rather ordinary." Jiang Yuan gave his evaluation after a quick scan.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire Jiang Yuan's keen eye. Although Wobbuffet's strength was second only to Dragonite among Jiang Chen's current Pokémon, in terms of talent, it was at the bottom.
"If you like Wobbuffet, I can get you a Wobbuffet with good talent. You can train it yourself."
"No need. This Wobbuffet will surprise you greatly in the future."
Seeing Jiang Chen's confident demeanor, Jiang Yuan didn't object. Young people learn from their mistakes. He had experienced his share of setbacks when he was young.
"Three Psychic-type Pokémon. It seems you have a special fondness for Psychic types."
"That's right. I plan to form a Psychic team."
This was a decision Jiang Chen made after careful consideration. Since he possessed a Psychic Plate, it would be a shame not to utilize its strongest effect. He had to learn to use his resources.
"Not bad."
Jiang Yuan didn't disapprove of Jiang Chen's idea. As parents, they should support their children's choices. Jiang Chen choosing to form a Psychic team didn't mean he would abandon training Pokémon of other types. Training a single type had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that with more training, he would gain more experience, making it easier to raise them. The disadvantage was being easily countered.
However, it was easy for Jiang Chen to train a Psychic team. He didn't even need to do anything. The effects of the Mysterious Plate alone would allow them to develop. He only needed to set a development direction, and then he wouldn't need to worry at all. This was utilizing his own advantage; it would be too much of a pity not to use the Psychic Plate.
Now, Jiang Chen had three Psychic-type Pokémon. For the other three, Jiang Chen had already decided on two. Alakazam would definitely be trained in the future. Jiang Chen was drawn to its special attack and speed, with its only drawback being its frail body.
Then there was Espeon, one of Eevee's evolutions. Eevee had eight evolutions, and Jiang Chen's favorite was naturally Sylveon. Who would dislike its elegant appearance? Just as no one would dislike Milotic.
However, in this world, the currently known Eevee evolutions were only three: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. Recently, some people had proposed that Eevee's genetic composition was extremely unstable and might evolve into Pokémon of other types due to environment.
After a trip to the backyard, Jiang Yuan looked at his Pokémon, then brought back the Slowbro Jiang Chen requested and handed it to him.
"Its eyes are truly filled with wisdom. It's clearly a genius at first sight."
Slowbro's eyes were exactly the same as Slowpoke's. Only when it evolved into Slowking did it appear smarter. Slowking was not an evolution of Slowbro, but another evolution of Slowpoke. Slowpoke could evolve into Slowking by holding a King's Rock.
In fact, Slowbro could be seen as two Pokémon. When Slowpoke's tail was bitten by a Shellder, it would evolve into Slowbro, and then the two Pokémon would have a symbiotic relationship. If the Shellder accidentally detached, Slowbro would devolve into Slowpoke. This was Slowbro's unique characteristic.
Slowbro's appearance once again caused the Mysterious Plate to shine, and all Psychic-type Pokémon once again gained benefits, including Jiang Chen.
The next day, Jiang Chen found that his Aura had grown much stronger again. If it continued to strengthen like this, he didn't know how powerful his Aura would become. Now, Jiang Chen could use Aura to transmit his commands to Pokémon. Perhaps soon, he would be able to communicate with Pokémon without hindrance using Aura.

"Just like Alakazam, its talent potential transformed overnight. I'm envious."
Indeed envious. His own Pokémon's talents hadn't transformed yet. However, Jiang Chen also knew that stronger Pokémon gained more benefits from the Mysterious Plate. Even Legendary Pokémon could gain benefits from this plate, after all, it was Arceus's item.
He glanced at his Pokémon. Squirtle trained yesterday, reaching ordinary Rank 5 and mastering the move Water Pulse. Beldum and Ralts both entered ordinary Rank 9. He estimated that Beldum and Ralts were not far from evolving.
Additionally, Wobbuffet, perhaps because its talent was too poor before, had its talent increased to quasi-Elite Four overnight.
"System, check-in."
[Ding, check-in successful. Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Soothe Bell, +100 points!]
Soothe Bell, an item in the game that increases friendship. Jiang Chen thought for a moment and gave this Soothe Bell to Ralts. Ralts was filled with joy, looking at the small bell hanging around its neck. In reality, Jiang Chen's and Ralts' friendship was already maxed out. This small bell had no actual effect; he just considered it a gift for Ralts. This small bell's appearance was quite lovely.
Taking all his Pokémon to school, there was no restriction on carrying only six Pokémon, so Jiang Chen brought all of them. However, during competitions, he could only choose a maximum of six to participate, so the main force he trained was usually six.
Arriving at school, Jiang Chen found everyone discussing the Fairy type. The Fairy type had been officially announced, so there was another subject to learn in school.
Entering the classroom, Jiang Chen walked directly towards Ling Wanqiu, attracting the attention of all his classmates. In their elite class, the two most-watched people were Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu, one being the son of an Elite Four, the other the daughter of an Elite Four, a perfect match. Many people teased them about being a match made in heaven, but although their relationship was good, it wasn't what others thought.
