Pokémon: Ascension Trainer System Chapter 387: Unexpected Gains!

"Heliolisk, I believe Clemont already explained things to you before sending you here."

Ash crouched down, activating his Viridian Blessing, his aura turning gentle and soothing as he lightly stroked the Pokémon's neck.

"I'll need your help over the next couple of days. I want my Pikachu to learn Parabolic Charge, so you'll be staying here for a bit. Let's get along well."

"Chaa~!"

Before being sent over, Clemont had already briefed Heliolisk.

And now—

Feeling the warm, comforting energy radiating from Ash—

Its eyes curved into happy crescent moons.

"System, show Heliolisk's data."

While ntally calling up the system, Ash also prepared so Electric-type energy cubes and offered them to Heliolisk.

[Pokémon: Heliolisk]

Level: LV.25

Type: Electric / Normal

Nature: Optimistic

Ability: Sand Veil / Solar Power

Potential: Blue (Perfect)

Moves (Copyable):

Perfect (1/5000): Discharge

Mastery (1/1000): Eerie Impulse, Thunder Shock, Quick Attack, Charge, Stomp, Volt Switch, Parabolic Charge, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Electrify, Thunder

Skilled (1/500): Mud-Slap, Slam

Novice (1/100): Tail Whip

"…What?!"

The mont Ash finished reviewing the data—

His eyes widened in shock.

According to Trevor, Heliolisk was Clemont's starter Pokémon.

And Clemont had only begun his journey one or two months ago.

Yet—

In such a short ti, he had already trained Heliolisk to LV.25.

That level of talent—

Even if it didn't quite match Ash's—

Had already surpassed Gary's.

"No wonder he's known as Lumiose City's Electric-type prodigy…"

Ash couldn't help but praise him.

With Blue-tier (Perfect) potential, Heliolisk was already considered top-tier in the outside world.

Even though Ash had several Pokémon of equal or higher potential—

This was still an extrely impressive specin.

But—

That wasn't what truly shocked him.

What left Ash completely stunned—

Was Heliolisk's move pool.

Moves like Discharge or Thunder?

Powerful, yes—but nothing extraordinary to Ash anymore.

What truly caught his attention were these four moves:

Parabolic Charge

Eerie Impulse

Volt Switch

Electrify

…

Parabolic Charge

This was the move Ash originally wanted.

Base Power: 65

Restores 50% of damage dealt as HP

Now—

With Pikachu equipped with the Light Ball—

This move would beco its core ability.

Let's break it down:

Base Power: 65

Electric Ball boost ×2 → 130

STAB bonus ×1.5 → massive damage

And on top of that—

50% of the damage dealt is converted into healing.

That ant—

Pikachu, once lacking in endurance—

Would transform into a sustainable, high-output Electric mage.

A true battlefield powerhouse.

…

Eerie Impulse

A non-damaging move similar to Thunder Wave—

But instead of paralysis, it sharply lowers the opponent's Special Attack (-2 stages).

Against Special Attack-oriented Pokémon—

This move was devastating.

Imagine this:

Pikachu opens with repeated Eerie Impulse, crippling the opponent's offense—

Then sets up Light Screen—

At that point?

The opponent is practically useless.

Pikachu could stand its ground—

And blast them into oblivion.

…

Volt Switch

A tactical move similar to:

U-turn (Bug-type)

Flip Turn (Water-type)

It allows Pikachu to:

Attack

Then imdiately switch out

Perfect for team battles.

And with damage calculation:

Base Power: 70

STAB ×1.5

Electric Ball ×2

→ 210 base damage output

High mobility.

High damage.

A perfect hybrid move.

…

Electrify

This—

Was the most fascinating move of all.

Effect: It converts the opponent's next attack into an Electric-type move.

At first glance, it only lasts one turn—

But its strategic depth was incredible.

Imagine this scenario:

An opponent prepares a devastating attack—

But Pikachu uses Electrify beforehand.

Now—

The attack becos Electric-type.

Result?

Electric resists Electric → reduced damage

If Pikachu has Lightning Rod → complete immunity Special Attack boost

Of course—

Ash knew this wasn't absolute.

It wouldn't work perfectly against overwhelming power

Physical attacks still dealt damage

Stronger opponents couldn't be completely nullified

But still—

Electrify was an incredibly powerful control tool.

Compared to Eerie Impulse and Volt Switch—

Which were "very useful"—

Electrify was sothing else entirely.

For Pikachu—

It was a must-learn move.

In fact—

Ash had already planned this earlier.

Once Pikachu mastered:

Parabolic Charge

Electric terrain-style control moves

Advanced Electric techniques

Then—

He would teach it Electrify.

After all—

This move was exclusive to:

Heliolisk (Kalos)

Boltund (Galar)

And now—

With Heliolisk standing right in front of him—

Ash realized sothing.

He hadn't just found what he ca for.

He had just unlocked—

An entirely new level of strategy for Pikachu.
