LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 55: ch52
*[Soothe Bell] (Purple)**
- **Purpose:** Doubles the speed at which the Pokémon holding this item increases its intimacy.
- **Price:** Three dollars and seventy-five cents.
---
Currently, in Alex's team, Riolu is the only Pokémon that requires intimacy for evolution. Since Riolu hatched and became his partner during freshman military training, their bond has grown rapidly, nearing the threshold for evolution.
However, Alex thinks evolving immediately upon reaching the limit might be too hasty.
"Although there's no concrete evidence that higher intimacy leads to significantly improved combat power or abilities after evolution, it's worth a try."
In this world, the intricacies of intimacy and friendliness haven't been fully explored, and research in this area is challenging.
If intimacy and friendliness are crucial, achieving higher values might result in a more powerful Lucario through careful breeding.
Therefore, Alex decided to experiment with raising Riolu's intimacy even further.
300... 400... Any number is worth trying.
"With the Soothe Bell, I can accelerate Riolu's training program."
Alex purchased the Soothe Bell without hesitation.
In addition to the Soothe Bell, Alex had other valuable items such as Exp. Share, Lucky Egg, and Insect Perfume, along with various item fragments like Master Ball and Spell Tag Fragments.
The remaining two purple items were rather ordinary and didn't surprise Alex much.

**[Fiery Dance Learning Machine] (Purple)**
- **Purpose:** Allows the user to learn the move Fiery Dance (Fiery Dance envelops the body in flames, using wings to attack the opponent, sometimes boosting special attack).
- **Price:** Three dollars and seventy-five cents.
---
A fire-type move, akin to Dragon Dance. The difference is that wings are required to use it.
"After Charmeleon evolves, Charizard will use this."
With Charizard's formidable attack power, paired with the Fiery Dance, Alex felt that even a water-type Legendary Pokémon like Suicune could be vaporized by Charizard's heat.
Buy it!
Fire-type moves are rare, especially those that deal damage and provide buffs. Missing out was not an option.
---
**[Carbink Pokémon Shards] (Purple)**
- **Purpose:** Collect ten Carbink Pokémon fragments to synthesize a Carbink. Note: There is a chance to evolve into Diancie, the Princess of the Diamond Kingdom!
- **Price:** Seven dollars and fifteen cents.
---
!?
What's this?
An unexpected find among the purple items!
Carbink Pokémon Shards!
Alex was familiar with item fragments, having many in his inventory. But this was his first encounter with Pokémon fragments.
Moreover, it was for Carbink.
Even more astonishing was the possibility that these fragments could evolve into the mythical Pokémon, Diancie!
"Unbelievable!"
"A bit of luck involved?"
Alex felt a bit dizzy. The alcohol was kicking in, and his vision blurred slightly.
Diancie, wow. It's a mythical Pokémon, cute like Jirachi, but with the power to surpass it in battle. Diancie even has a Mega Evolution form, making it a formidable mythical creature.
"Though it's just a fragment, dreams must have a chance."
It takes ten shards to exchange for a Carbink. Alex wasn't in a rush.
Carbink is native to the African continent, and some are found in neighboring smaller countries. However, Carbink live in large groups, and capturing one means facing the onslaught of hundreds or even thousands of Carbinks, which is dangerous.
And while Carbink is visually appealing, its combat effectiveness is limited, with no evolution form yet.
Diancie is a rare mythical creature, born once in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Carbinks.
In this world, only one Diancie has ever existed, and its current whereabouts are unknown.
If Alex could collect all the fragments, summon Carbink, and evolve it into Diancie, it would be a world-shaking event.
"Buy it and see what happens."
Alex didn't hesitate to purchase something worth a few dollars.
The system offers, and Alex accepts!
With the three purple items acquired, Alex's attention naturally turned to the remaining two red and gold items.
"I hope this time the red item brings another Pokémon egg!"
Red items are of champion quality. If a Pokémon egg is included, it would naturally have champion-level talent.
But the first red item gave Alex a surprise.

**[Dimension Reduction Saitama Exercise] (Red)**
- **Purpose:** By persisting with this exercise for one year, the host will develop physical fitness surpassing that of a Pallet Town Rookie.
- **Price:** Thirty-six dollars and fifty cents.
---
Huh?
Saitama workout?
That's ten kilometers a day, plus a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, and a hundred squats.
And to persist.
But...
"What's with this 'one year' thing?"
Alex found the system's offer intriguing.
Despite the oddity, Alex didn't mind!
He bought it!
Such a valuable offering couldn't be passed up.
Although Alex had exercised before, the results were minimal—just more energy and strength than an average person.
By following the system's training regimen, the effects would be significant.
"Surpassing the physique of a Pallet Town Rookie, having one-handed strength should be no problem."
Alex vividly remembered Ash holding up Cosmoem with one hand.
That really shocked the world.
Remember, Cosmoem weighed 999 kilograms, or about 2,200 pounds.
Ash was truly a Mega!
"Buy it!"
Alex's current weakness was his physical fitness.
Especially after entering university, his physical fitness seemed to decline rapidly.
With this training method, Alex wasn't aiming to become a One Punch Man who could punch Groudon and kick Kyogre.
At least he could spar with a Martial Arts Bear Master.
One red item remained, which also surprised Alex.
