Apart from magnets, Fang Yuan also wanted several sets of top-tier forced exercisers.
Forced exercisers, a type of training device designed for enhancing Pokemon's physical fitness, came in various models ranging from a few thousand to tens of millions of yuan.
The value depended on the materials used and the effectiveness of the training.
This device wasn't considered a traditional resource, but rather training equipment. For those Pokemon willing to put in the effort, having a matching exerciser, though more arduous, would certainly be more efficient than training alone.
Of course, he would dismiss the rubbish costing tens or hundreds of millions, what Fang Yuan wanted were those custom-made top-tier ones.
Fang Yuan planned to customize several sets specifically for Monferno. The extent to which Monferno's "Thunderflame Mode·Eight Gates" could be developed depended largely on the strength of Monferno's body, and he needed tailor-made equipment to train Monferno's physical fitness to assist the Inferno Shock Turbo Guards... In this way, Monferno's progress could be accelerated.
Fang Yuan had harbored this idea for a while, but he had neither the time nor the funds to commission these custom devices. Now that he had the opportunity, he intended to order directly through the Trainer Association.
Having confirmed his desire for the forced exercisers, Fang Yuan was in no rush to fill out the order. Customizing forced exercisers would require a lot of data to be prepared, and he had to get Rotom to collect it slowly after returning...
"Let's fill in the last item..."
For the reward of the tenth challenge, Fang Yuan thought it over and decided to request information... He wanted to know about Darkrai or Cresselia.
Giving him a Darkrai was out of the question... but if it was information, there might be a chance.
Fang Yuan had Rotom search previously but found nothing. However, the Association's information network was surely far stronger than Rotom's, and through the Trainer Association, he might be able to learn the whereabouts of the Dream God.
It could be a dominant foe in a perilous environment, the Pokemon of a strong Trainer, or possibly a Guardian God of a country, but regardless of which possibility, Fang Yuan was prepared to search.
Finding Darkrai was naturally to solve and develop Dragonite's Nightmare Mode, as Fang Yuan now had a thorough understanding of Nightmare Mode.
Awakening Power·Evil, Rest, Sleep Talk can be regarded as a comprehensive Strengthening Move. Some strengthening moves enhance Pokemon's capabilities by stimulating potential within the body, and Nightmare Mode is similar, but it is an enhancement realized by changing the energy field of Dragonite's mental power.
To put it simply, the combination of the three moves could influence Dragonite's spirit, leading it into a state of psychic fragmentation.
In this state, Dragonite augmented all of its physical attributes through the power of "Dreamland" and "Soul".
That's why Fang Yuan began training Dragonite in the Spiritual Power back in the Spirit World. If Dragonite's psychic power was strong enough, it might not be affected by the Awakened power, and could, in turn, control this force to actively strengthen itself.
Of course, this was just Fang Yuan's speculation.
The Wedge Stone that Fang Yuan picked up from the Spirit World had been researched to destruction. They gleaned plenty of useful information, such as techniques to suppress and control Dark Type Energy, but it was not enough. To let Dragonite control and potentially develop Nightmare Mode further, Fang Yuan felt that apart from Psychic Power, he also needed to find a perfect method to control the Power of Dreams.
Fang Yuan didn't have much hope for Pokemon related to dreams like Dreamweaver and Munna because researchers had already tried to solve the issue of somnambulistic combat syndrome with these Pokemon, but to no avail. Not even Manaphy could fix it but only provide a partial solution. Ordinary Pokemon were even less likely to be in Fang Yuan's consideration, hence his fixation on the two Dream Gods.
With the reward opportunity for the tenth challenge, Fang Yuan allocated resources to Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, and Dragonite, and then reflected on the fourth to ninth challenge rewards. He decided to distribute resources to Monferno, Dragonite, and Milotic, along with what they needed.
Eevee and Glutton had both reached a bottleneck, and in such a state, no ordinary resources could improve them. Even with top-tier resources, no matter how much was invested, it would be useless. Otherwise, the main Elves of the Four Heavenly Kings and Champion would have already entered the Top Tier Domain.
Unless it was an adventure of even higher caliber than the Temple of the Sea, no general resources could help a Pokemon overcome the barrier that would cause a qualitative leap in strength.
As for Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, with a considerable number of Magnets ready, there was no need to exchange for other resources.
Therefore, only Dragonite, Milotic, and Monferno, which had not reached the Top Tier Domain, required Fang Yuan's additional attention.
Whether it was Dragonite that had yet to master Nightmare Mode or Milotic, which had just undergone a transformation after the Temple of the Sea and The Lake of Purification, both had great potential. With sufficient resources, Fang Yuan might be able to cultivate them to nearly-top level before the world competition.
If resources were completely distributed equally, such an effect would not be possible.
As for Monferno, Fang Yuan valued it the most. Now, all Monferno needed to do was to master the first gate of the perfect Thunder Flame Mode without relying on any item, including Ditto. In doing so, it would naturally possess nearly top-level power.
The next step would be how to open the second gate of the Eight Gates of Lightning Flame without damage and without relying on Ditto.
Upon opening the second gate, Monferno could reach the Top Level Domain. Its latent bodily potential, due to the effect of Intersected Force, would be fully stimulated, and its physical attributes, as well as the Fighting Attribute, would enter the top level. To achieve this step, if Ditto wasn't assisting, Monferno would need to endure heavier loads, greater pressure, and more wear and tear.
