The Mimic move is by acting as the target, allowing one's ability to become the same as the target's.
And the Ability Swap move uses superpowers to exchange abilities with the target.
Both superpower moves have the ability to change abilities, and their commonality became the opportunity for the Fierce Fire Monkey to comprehend the Mimic move.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yuan decided to go for broke.
If it has been comprehended, then let it be.
Although it wasn't taught by him, there's no significant difference.
After all, Eevee was also trained by him, and now Eevee can only be considered a "substitute disciple." Ultimately, it was his guidance that mattered.
"How long can you mimic someone else's ability now?" Fang Yuan asked the Fierce Fire Monkey.
After thinking, the Fierce Fire Monkey stretched out two fingers, then clenched them into a fist, indicating a maximum of 20 seconds.
As for how long exactly, it depends on the circumstances.
For instance, mimicking the Magnetic ability of the Trio Magnet Monsters is quite easy for it, it can maintain 20 seconds, but when mimicking the Magic Mirror characteristic of the Solar Spirit, the Fierce Fire Monkey struggles for quite a while just to create a mirror, and it's not handy in using it. Mimicking Ghostss's Levitate ability mainly involves difficulty in control.
"I see..." Fang Yuan nodded.
Just like Ghostss's Mirror Attribute Moves, these moves that change one's own properties or abilities have many restrictions, firstly reflected in the duration they can be maintained.
Secondly, just because you've mimicked another Pokemon's ability doesn't mean you can use it proficiently right away.
Abilities also need to be developed and trained.
The Fierce Fire Monkey expecting to reach another's level after development through Mimic move directly is impossible, because it does not understand the newly acquired special ability at all.
With the Fierce Fire Monkey's current proficiency in the Mimic move, it can be considered just a beginner.
"Acha~" The Fierce Fire Monkey inquired Fang Yuan if it could start learning Electric Armor Skills now.
Fang Yuan stared at it: "What do you think?"
The Fierce Fire Monkey tilted its head, I have no idea...
"Of course not." Fang Yuan shook his head: "You're still too inexperienced with the Mimic move. If you can only mimic an ability for twenty seconds, how can you start training? So, we can begin the next step of training when you can use the Mimic move effectively."
"Don't be impatient, take it step by step."
There's another reason, Fang Yuan also needs time to find the right Pokemon for the Fierce Fire Monkey to mimic... The Fierce Fire Monkey mastered the Mimic move too fast, which caught Fang Yuan off guard.
Is Eevee coming?
"..." Hearing this, the Fierce Fire Monkey scratched its head resignedly, okay then.
Just then, Fang Yuan suddenly felt something was amiss. He slightly turned his head and immediately saw Eevee trying to sneak out of the door while hugging the wall stealthily. Spotting this, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Eevee, why don't you practice with the Fierce Fire Monkey? The Ability Swap move is quite good; you should get proficient with it too."
Thud!
Eevee instantly fell to the ground.
Then, it sat on the floor looking pitifully.
Why has it turned out this way?
What... what did it do wrong?
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Ability Swap, although not as difficult to learn as the Future Sight move, is still more challenging than Mimic.
Solar Spirits are not a species that have an advantage in learning Ability Swap; Fang Yuan had no idea how Eevee learned it, but now is not the time to delve into such matters. Since it had been learned, Fang Yuan couldn't let it waste such a god-level skill.
```
After the Sun Spirit acquires the Magic Guard Feature, wouldn't it be able to ignore the side effects of the Life Orb and better harness Life Energy?
The next second, Fang Yuan glanced at Ghostss.
"Heeheeheehee~~" Glutton didn't wait for Fang Yuan to say anything, quickly melting into the wall, heading directly next door to beg for food from the Trio Magnet Monsters.
This ability to move without using the main door was something Eevee had envied for a long time.
...
"Help!"
After driving Eevee and Fierce Fire Monkey away, Fang Yuan felt a bit guilty for reaping the benefits without putting in equal effort, so he started to exert himself as well.
He typed a few characters on the keyboard and asked:
"Teacher Li, I need help with a few things."
As the saying goes, when in doubt, consult a teacher; learning to ask one's teacher questions is the mark of a good student.
Fang Yuan opened the chat interface with Teacher Li Chang from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School. After leaving a message, he started to wait for a reply.
He remembered that Teacher Li Chang's Geodude has the Lightning Rod Feature. The Lightning Rod Feature provides a special ability that greatly grants immunity to Electric Shock and turns external Electric Energy into one's power.
It's fair to say that a Pokemon with this feature is the nemesis of Electric-type.
To perfect Electric Armor Skills, mimic the Lightning Rod Feature and feel how this special ability operates within oneself is a necessary step.
However.
Teacher Li must have been busy with other matters. It took about half an hour for her to reply to Fang Yuan.
"One moment," Teacher Li said.
For someone like Fang Yuan who is well-acquainted with Teacher Li, calling over Geodude to help with training was a trifle.
The other matter Fang Yuan asked for help with was a bit more challenging for Teacher Li.
Fang Yuan inquired about which Trainers in Pingcheng owned Pokemon with characteristics like Charge Storage, Guts, Static, Electric Engine, and Quick Feet. Furthermore...
The best scenario would be if these Trainers had already developed their Pokemon's characteristics.
Fang Yuan was unfamiliar with the circle of Trainers in Pingcheng, but Teacher Li, as one of the few Breeders in the city, was well-connected with most reputable Trainers there. Inquiring with her was undoubtedly the right choice.
"Before school starts, I'll let Fierce Fire Monkey get a basic understanding of these traits... but this isn't a long-term solution. I should aspire to become a Senior Researcher and have my own lab soon. Then I can apply to the Trainer Association to conduct joint training with different Pokemon for research purposes," Fang Yuan thought.
While Fang Yuan was making plans for the future, Teacher Li had already sent him some information.
The circle of Trainers in Pingcheng is quite small.
The Pingcheng Trainer Association, Pingcheng No.1 Middle School, and the police represent the concentration of Pingcheng's advanced Trainer forces.
There are three Professional Trainers at the Pingcheng Trainer Association, and the police force has one.
In addition to this, including the Starshine Battle Club, there are four Battle Clubs that are gathering places for Senior Trainers.
Three official organizations and four community clubs form the circle of Trainers in Pingcheng.
"Speaking of the Electric Engine Feature, the Lightning Club has a foreign coach with a Lightning Zebra that meets your criteria," said Teacher Li.
"For Charge Storage and Static characteristics, we have teachers right here at Pingcheng No.1 Middle School with these features in Thunder Elf and Leiqiu."
"For the Quick Feet Trait, Officer Lin Wenxiu has a Big Wolf Hound with that characteristic."
"For the Guts characteristic, Mr. Shanmi, the head of the Starshine Battle Club, has a Machamp with that trait."
Officer Lin is Lin Jing's father, and Fang Yuan was quite familiar with Mr. Shanmi...
