The Little Magnetic Monster came out of the Poké Ball and immediately looked towards Fang Yuan.
"Let's start,"
Fang Yuan said succinctly.
He took a stone that he had picked up earlier and placed it next to the Little Magnetic Monster.
Now, the only task for Little Magnetic Monster was to keep practicing and try to use its Awakened power to make the stone float.
When Little Magnetic Monster could freely control the stone, it would mean that it had mastered its Awakened power to some extent—
At the very least, it would be comparable to a basic level of Confusion.
…
The training ground.
Eevee was practicing Gratitude on one side, and Little Magnetic Monster was practicing Awakened power on the other.
The first to show results was the Little Magnetic Monster.
After intentional and continuous practice, it made noticeable progress in controlling the stone very quickly.
From only being able to make the stone wobble using its Awakened power, it got the stone to hover completely in almost no time.
"Magnemite…"
The Little Magnetic Monster let out a nervous and excited cry.
Thud!
The stone hit the ground.
"You got excited too early," Fang Yuan said.
Little Magnetic Monster looked at the stone, utterly embarrassed.
"Let's take a break for now."
Seeing that Little Magnetic Monster was making some progress, Fang Yuan also planned to experiment again with the cause of the phone explosion.
He called Eevee over as well, and in front of the two Pokémon, he took out three different items.
This time, it wasn't empty water bottles, paper balls, or toothpicks.
It was a calculator, a remote-controlled car, and an electric shaver.
The calculator was something Fang Yuan used to calculate data when he was in school.
The remote-controlled car was a toy he had dug out of an old box at home, which seemed to still work with batteries.
The last item, the electric shaver, was something Father Fang had discarded.
All three had one thing in common: their energy source was electricity.
"Bwoo!" Eevee understood Fang Yuan's intention, staring at Little Magnetic Monster, eager to find out the truth behind the phone explosion.
"Little Magnetic Monster, get ready."
Fang Yuan first turned on the calculator and placed it in front of Little Magnetic Monster, asking it to focus its spirit and use its Awakened power on the calculator.
Three seconds later.
When Fang Yuan tried to use the calculator again, he found it had stopped working.
Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly as he turned on the remote-controlled car and placed it in a pile of sand.
After Little Magnetic Monster treated the car in the same manner, the wheels first slowed to a stop, and then smoke began to emerge from the car's body…
The remote-controlled car was also broken.
Finally, Fang Yuan turned the electric shaver on and placed it on the ground, moving a bit away from it with Eevee. Under Little Magnetic Monster's watchful eye again…
Bang!
Like the phone, the shaver exploded outright, startling even Little Magnetic Monster.
"Bwoo!!" The three experiments reminded Eevee of yesterday's events, and it became somewhat annoyed.
Meanwhile.
A shock ran through Fang Yuan's heart.
"Indeed." Fang Yuan said.
Magnemite's Awakened power was not simply Thought Waves.
It also had the characteristics of Electromagnetic Waves.
The interplay between the two kinds of waves had resulted in a new transformation, turning Magnemite into a natural destroyer of electronic devices.
And the premise was that Magnemite concentrated its spirit.
"Bwoo…" Magnemite looked at Fang Yuan blankly, very frightened of this power it possessed.
"Don't worry, this power is quite normal. Your evolved form can use strong magnetic force to destroy precise machinery." Fang Yuan said calmly.
"You're just a bit special. The nature of your ability hasn't changed, and it's not necessarily a good thing, nor is it necessarily a bad thing."
"This ability is very similar to that of a Pokémon, Machamp."
Machamp's special ability allows it to emit special Alpha Waves from its body, which can cause pain to enemies who come close, and strong Alpha Waves can even damage delicate machinery.
So around Machamp, strange occurrences such as clocks running backward and terrifying images suddenly appearing on TV were common.
And so-called Alpha Waves are actually a type of brain wave. Machamp, by concentrating on a spoon, can strengthen its Alpha Waves, easily using its psychic powers on electronics to alter their operating patterns.
Now, with Magnemite's awakened Psychic-Attribute Awakened Power, due to its species' proficiency in using Electromagnetic Waves, it too managed to merge Thought Waves with Electromagnetic Waves, much like Machamp had.
Only, the dominant relationship between the two was slightly different.
Machamp's primary focus was Thought Waves, supported by Electromagnetic Waves.
Magnemite, on the other hand, was primarily focused on Electromagnetic Waves, supported by Thought Waves.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan had a bold thought: could Magnemite's Awakened Power also affect living organisms?
After all, most human dream hallucinations are caused by electromagnetic radiation. When he was doing his homework in his bedroom and hadn't yet seen Magnemite, he thought of Magnemite—could it also be because of its intentions?
And what about Eevee's dreams... Could they also be influenced by Magnemite's intentions?
Fang Yuan shook his head; the chances of that should be quite small…
After explaining the situation with Machamp to Magnemite and Eevee, the two Pokémon felt quite differently about it.
Magnemite wondered if it would evolve into a Machamp…
Whereas Eevee thought that it must not let Magnemite, this home-wrecking Pokémon, touch the cell phone again.
In an instant, the enmity Eevee had felt toward Magnemite resurfaced.
Fang Yuan said with a headache, "So… Magnemite, you should understand now, right? Don't just focus on electronic devices anymore, because it's quite possible that the interaction between Thought Waves and Electromagnetic Waves could trigger an instantaneous electromagnetic phenomenon, leading to the destruction of electronics, especially those small ones, which your spiritual power can cover!"
"If it causes too much commotion, it won't be as simple as sending you back to the power plant. You're very likely to be thrown into an incinerator and treated as hazardous material!"
After a bit of scaremongering, Magnemite shuddered and nodded obediently.
"Bwoo~"
Eevee gave Fang Yuan a glance, realizing that Fang Yuan now had a different look in his eyes when he saw Magnemite; there was no way he would actually get rid of it.
With a resigned look, Eevee glanced at Magnemite. This fellow... wasn't going to become its companion in the future, was it?
In the TV shows, those Trainers had several Pokémon each.
So from now on… not only did it have to watch out for fire, theft, and Fang Yuan, but also Magnemite?!
Eevee: (;′⌒`), this is so difficult for me.
In truth, Fang Yuan indeed had this idea in mind. Given Magnemite's talent shown so far, it completely surpassed that of an ordinary Magnemite.
Moreover, Magnemite was currently being kept by his family. If he didn't explore its potential, Fang Yuan would feel he was letting down his identity as a Trainer.
Trainers love Pokémon with talent.
As for the training issues, they could be temporarily put aside. At this stage, it was only basic care. Once there were surplus resources, he could consider training Magnemite.
After all, his journey as a Trainer was still very long; there was no rush in these one or two years.
"Magnemite, would you like me to become your Trainer?" Fang Yuan suddenly asked.
"Magnemite?" Magnemite was taken aback.
"Become my Pokémon, and within one year, I'll do everything in my power to make you fly. At the same time, make those of your kind who reject you only able to look up at you." Fang Yuan said earnestly.
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, a strange glimmer flashed through Magnemite's eyes.
