This guy is terrifying in the micro-control of Spiritual Power, completely unlike an ordinary Attribute Pokémon.
If the other Chanseys are about the same, Baimu might really suspect whether Dr. Da Mu marked Chansey's Attribute incorrectly; this guy should be a Psychic Attribute Pokémon.
"Very well, let's move to the next stage then."
Baimu nodded in satisfaction and said to Chansey, "Use Strong Mental Will to control Aggron."
"Lucky!"
The latter responded seriously and unleashed Spiritual Power onto Aggron, firmly locking onto its body.
"Lift it up!"
Aggron's body slowly detached from the ground.
There are normally two ways to use Strong Mental Will: One is to imprison the opponent with Spiritual Power, and through tossing and random smashing, detonate the Psychic Attribute Energy to cause damage to the opponent.
The other is to directly attack the opponent's spirit and damage its willpower.
Both methods have their merits; the latter might be a bit harder for Chansey to accept, so for now, we'll use something similar to Mind Control.
"Break the control."
The Aggron in mid-air fell in response, its massive body falling to the ground deliberately without balance, smashing into a mess and raising a cloud of dust.
"Guh-oh..."
"See, it's simple."
Baimu smiled at Chansey, "You've already completed the first step, the pain Aggron feels now is due to the direct damage you created, and is somewhat different from the negative state triggered by Severe Poison."
In principle, there isn't much difference, but to let Chansey perceive that it barely caused direct damage, he quietly changed the concept.
"Lu, Lucky..."
Chansey instinctively released Healing Fluctuation towards Aggron, then glanced at its own hands, a bit incredulous that it has taken the first step so easily.
Clearly, it couldn't even perform a normal smack just a moment ago...
"Great work! You've crossed the second step. Come, let's proceed to the third step." Baimu patted its head.
"Lucky!"
Suddenly, Chansey felt a surge of confidence.
Once more, it controlled Aggron with Strong Mental Will and lifted it into the sky.
Baimu said, "The key point this time is to throw Aggron far away and break the control in between. Simply put, it's like the feeling of using Telekinesis to push the opponent away. Got it?"
"Lucky..."
Chansey responded, furrowing its brows as it forcefully threw Aggron towards the field.
"Guh-oh—"
The latter traced an arc in mid-air, landing heavily on the ground.
Bang!
Success!
Chansey's heart lightly trembled as Aggron hit the ground.
"Very good! Did you see that? You've successfully overcome the third step! Just one last push to victory!"
Baimu's laughter echoed in its ears.
In the distance, Aggron slowly got up, its movements slightly staggering, covered in dirt.
"Roar!"
Again!
The Big Monster lowered its posture, revealing a slightly ferocious smile.
Chansey's breathing became a bit rapid.
Noticing its predicament, Baimu crouched down and gently held its right hand, meeting its gaze as it turned its eyes.
"Feeling tense about the last step just ahead? Haha, I'm actually a bit nervous too, but it's okay, I'm here."
Baimu whispered, "Close your eyes and take a deep breath, come, do it with me, inhale—exhale—"
"Hiss...hoo..."
Following the guidance, Chansey closed its eyes, slowly breathing deeply, its breath gradually calming.
When it opened its eyes again, it nodded to Baimu.
I'm ready!
"Very good, let's begin. The last step today is also your first step towards a better tomorrow!" Baimu spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Lucky!"
Chansey responded in a low voice and looked at Aggron approaching slowly, Spiritual Power extending out, lifting it to the sky for the third time.
"In the last step, retain the Spiritual Power till the end, guide Aggron to crash to the ground, trigger the explosion of Psychic Attribute Energy." Baimu's voice reached its ears.
Chansey operated the Spiritual Power, staring at the Aggron in the sky, constantly swallowing its saliva.
Crash to the ground...detonate the energy...
Crash to the ground...detonate the energy...
Surprisingly.
While imagining what it was about to do, no uncomfortable images came to mind.
Why?
Ah, it turns out the Trainer is still holding its hand, and this hand is also trembling slightly.
Feeling the warmth and light tremor from its right hand, Chansey realized the Trainer's inner pressure was actually not much less than its own, also far from being as calm as he appeared.
The reason he could still smile was to encourage its courage.
So that's how it is.
Its breath held for a moment, suddenly a smile blossomed on its face.
Wanting to respond to the Trainer who loves it deeply, respond to his long-awaited expectations, respond to the fellow companions' unconditional care.
Today.
Must be the day it steps towards a new future!
Come on! I am not afraid of you anymore!
"Lucky—!!"
Chansey suddenly raised its head to shout, Spiritual Power manipulated Aggron to crash straight down, fully implementing Strong Mental Will!
In release.
Darkness blinded the vision again, cold iron bars replaced everything, noisy and piercing curses surrounded the ears, the pain felt like being slashed a thousand times, unbearably agonizing.
However.
The right hand felt warmth, the gentle tremble felt was undeniably ten times more real than these fake things!
