Kebi even took out his portable computer and found a video introducing Magnezone to show Magnemite.
The streamlined body and intense Quick Attack deeply attracted Magnemite's gaze.
Magnemite thus, in a daze, entered Kebi's Poké Ball.
He actually wasn't against being caught; he just felt that Steel Valley couldn't be left unguarded.
But Kebi convinced him; he didn't even know how to become stronger, so what would he rely on to guard Steel Valley?
Moreover, it was the first time Magnemite had heard that after evolving into Magneton, he could evolve one more time.
Evolution holds an unparalleled attraction for Pokémon.
Evolving into Magnezone was the final weight that tipped the scales in Magnemite's heart.
Kebi smiled slightly, deeply hiding his achievements and fame. As a Trainer, one must learn to set growth goals for Pokémon.
Only with goals can there be motivation.

(steel attribute development is insufficient. It is recommended to use high-purity Magnet to polish Magnemite's body to enhance body strength, current storage, and fluidity.)
Whether from lv70, aptitude, or ability value, Magnemite and Piplup were quite similar. Kebi had a premonition that the two of them would become good friends and rivals.
After Kebi persuaded (tricked) Magnemite, Steelix and Rhydon's friendly exchange was almost over.
Just as Steelix thought, there was already a regrettable thick barrier between Rhydon and him.
In this life, Rhydon wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
As Kebi and his group left, Rhydon gripped the ground with both hands, crushing the hard Rock into powder.
The unwillingness in Rhydon's eyes seemed to solidify.
He was determined to prove to Steelix that Rhydon was no worse than Steelix.
If Steelix could find a Trainer, he could also find one to train himself!
Rhydon looked forward to the day he would reunite with Steelix.
Back at Zǐjǐn Gym, Xiao Sheng still couldn't hide his excitement.
Xiao Yao had already finished her special training and was currently sitting in the Zǐjǐn Gym's lounge, devouring a Million Volt Ice Cream.
"Wow, big sister, you're so mean! You're eating a whole box of ice cream by yourself! I want some too!"
Xiao Sheng ran over excitedly, and Xiao Yao extended her hand to push his forehead back.
"Xiao Sheng, you secretly ran off to play, and you still have the nerve to talk to me! Tell me! Where did you go to play? Mr. Tie Xuan said you even went out in a flying machine!"
"A flying machine! Such an interesting thing, and you didn't even call your big sister!"
Xiao Sheng smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Big sister, is one box enough for you? I'll go get you some more snacks!"
Kebi also clapped his hands, "Watt, I'd like to use the Zǐjǐn Gym's phone transfer machine to communicate with Dr. Shanli and send a few Pokémon back."
Watt put down the snacks in his hand. "No problem, I'll take you."
The call went through and was quickly answered by Dr. Shanli.
Kebi told Dr. Shanli the story of Nosepass, and the doctor's eyes immediately lit up.
"Developing the Magnet Pull trait to achieve self-evolution, if Nosepass can do it, then can Magneton with the Magnet Pull trait do it?"
Dr. Shanli had indeed received records of Magnezone and Probopass appearing in areas without special magnetic fields.
He had personally investigated the geographical environment, and the Pokémon caught by Trainers had also undergone comprehensive physical data analysis.
Yet, he hadn't found a research point.
Now, Kebi's single sentence directly enlightened him.
"Send your Nosepass over; I need to collect his physical data. From now on, the Yamabuki Research Institute will cover the cost of raising him! In addition, I'll give you three more years of boarding time!"
Kebi transferred Nosepass.
"Doctor, I also need to send Chimchar back. It comes with Chimchar's food recipe. For any amount exceeding the standard, please send the bill to my email."
Dr. Shanli received Nosepass and placed Nosepass's Poké Ball on the analysis machine nearby to begin scanning.
He gestured to someone next to him, "Receive Chimchar and his food recipe. Make food for Chimchar according to this recipe. As for the price difference, you don't need to calculate it."
"The Yamabuki Research Institute isn't short on that."
As the most outstanding Pokémon doctor in the Sinnoh region, Dr. Shanli spoke with such grandeur.
"Kebi, send me a copy of the training plan you made for Nosepass."
Kebi took out his portable computer and sent the training plan to Dr. Shanli's email.
"Received," Dr. Shanli said, nodding repeatedly after reading it.
"An excellent plan! I can't believe you're just a Trainer who's been traveling for only a month. Besides developing the Magnet Pull trait, you also applied magnetite powder to Nosepass's body."
"Adjusting the proportion of Nosepass's body composition indeed makes it easier to develop the Magnet Pull trait. According to your cultivation plan, the rock-type proportion will be compressed after he evolves into Probopass."
"You plan to cultivate your Probopass into a Pokémon primarily dominated by the steel attribute?"
Kebi nodded. "Isn't Nosepass's growth trajectory about the increasing proportion of Magnet in the Rock until a quantitative change leads to evolution, adding a steel attribute from a single rock-type?"
The ability boost Nosepass gains from evolution basically comes entirely from the steel attribute.
Magnetic fields and Rock, at first glance, are two unrelated things.
The researcher receiving Chimchar nearby was also very surprised.
The institute's transfer machine has a simple analysis function. Looking at the current data of Chimchar displayed on the computer, compared to the data from a month ago when he left.
The researcher couldn't believe it. "In just one month, Chimchar's ability value has increased so much, and he even learned Flare Blitz."
Dr. Shanli just smiled. Next year, Sandgem Town would shock Sinnoh!
"Doctor, I'm entrusting them to you."
The doctor waved his hand. "Don't worry, their treatment at the Yamabuki Research Institute will definitely be the best!"
Originally, Kebi planned to travel with Ash and his friends, but now that he decided to participate in the Ever Grande Conference, Kebi needed to collect Gym Badges quickly.
The Ever Grande Conference was going to start in just over three months.
He could only go collect the Gym Badges Ash had already obtained, aiming to meet Ash and his friends in Petalburg City, and then travel together to Fortree City.
As it turned out, by the time it was almost dark, Ash and Brock walked into Zǐjǐn Gym dejectedly.
Torkoal's performance was not ideal; despite having the Sunlight Trait, he showed little talent in Sunny Day training.
The instructor even refunded Ash's money, telling him to find someone more skilled.
Tie Xuan saw off the last challenger and returned to the lounge. Upon hearing about this, he said, "You guys go to Fuefuki Gym and find Mula. That old fellow's Typhlosion is an expert at Sunny Day."
Watt pushed up his glasses. "It just so happens that Kebi needs to challenge Fuefuki Gym. Tomorrow, you can take my flying machine directly to Fuefuki Gym, which won't delay any time."
