-------------------------------

Alex sits in the kitchen of the guest room in Steven's mansion and eats his breakfast together with his Pokemon.

He checked the information from his Pokemon, like every morning, to see if anything changed from the last time.

'Fuck, it really wasn't enough.'

When Alex looked at the potential of his three starter Pokemon, he saw that they still have deep Gold Potential.

Yesterday these three Pokemon each consumed their last item and they still could not improve their Potential.

He divided all the items he bought for his three starter Pokemon so that within a month, his Pokemon could absorb the energy from these items into their bodies.

'I half expected it, but...the total of 320 million Pokedollars worth of Pokemon items isn't enough... is really...'

However, Alex doesn't think he has to give up much more money so that his Pokemon finally improve their Potential.

After all, for Bastiodon it only costs around 50-65 million Pokedollars worth of Pokemon items and the difference between a Born Deep Silver pokemon and a Born Shallow Gold Pokemon is most likely not ridiculously bigger.

Alex didn't think he had to spend more than 130 million Pokedollars per Pokemon. Or he hoped not.

The biggest problem is that his three starting Pokemon have started leveling slower than his other Pokemon.

Alex looked at his three starter Pokemon with an uneasy expression.

If he doesn't quickly improve the potential of his three starters, they will be overtaken by all other Pokemon. He also needs to replace an item from a full-blood legendary Pokemon to improve Ditto's mediocre potential.

But when Alex looked at his other Pokemon, he started smiling again.

Ninetales, Banette, Bastiodon, Blaziken, and Umbreon all trained a move to the Master rank in about two months.

[Training non-Innate Talent Move to the Master-rank takes only 2 months for an SS-ranked Pokemon in the optimal training circumstance.]

Seadra and Deino have also made great progress. Especially the two new moves these two Pokemon can now use brought great joy to Alex.

[Dragon Rush] is an extremely powerful Physical Dragon-type move and extremely useful once Deino evolves into Zweilous.

[Dragon Dance] is the move that drew the most attention from Alex.[Dragon Dance] is not only extremely good in the game but also in this world.

This ridiculous move was one of the many reasons why Dragon-type Pokemon are so popular and strong in this world.

Even if it's not an Innate Talent move, Alex plans on training this move to the Master rank as soon as possible.

After Alex and his Pokemon finished their breakfast, they made their way to Steven's training room where they will, today, hold their rematch.

Steven and Alex had agreed on this day weeks ago and were each preparing for this fight.

Although Alex lost his last fight against Steven, he doesn't think this time will be as obvious as last time.

After a Pokemon reaches level 45, it starts leveling up much more slowly than before. The same thing happens at levels 50, 55, and 60.

Steven's Metagross will still have a level advantage, but it's not as big as it was last time.
