Alex and his Pokemon spend the remainder of this 40-hour journey in a peaceful and relaxed manner.
No training and no Pokemon fights for a whole day.
Alex and his Pokemon, who only get one or two full days off once a month, enjoyed this short vacation very much.
Even though Alex gives his Pokemon a little bit of free ti every day, it doesn’t compare to a full day and most of Alex’s Pokemon had a happy expression upon hearing this.
Only Scizor and for a bit, ditto use this free ti to train so more.
Alex wasn’t surprised that crazy training junkie Scizor even worked out in his spare ti and just a little surprised that Ditto joined him.
Ditto, as always, played a few matches of Chess with Gardevoir, which he loses, but today, he played fewer matches and spent most of his ti training.

’It seems that Ditto started feeling motivated again after his potential improved.’
Alex also used this ti to test what difference Ditto’s [Transform] had now that it had reached the master rank.
[Transform] has always been a weird move that’s extrely difficult to upgrade, and Alex had no idea how long it would take for Ditto to get this move to the master rank without w’s help.
But because of this difficulty, Alex also had high expectations for this move on the master rank.
And after Alex did so testing with this move, he noticed the big difference in this move between the Expert and Master rank.
[Transform] on Expert rank will let a Ditto transform into a Pokemon that has seen it before, but that Pokemon’s HP, Level, and Master rank move will not be copied. Even the Ability, Height, and Weight of the Pokemon are copied perfectly but not these three things.
Still, even on the Expert rank, [Transform] is not a weak move and is extrely versatile.
But as soon as the move reaches the Master rank, the move becos completely different from what it was before the improvent.
[Transform] on the Master rank lets Ditto not only copy the Master rank moves but also the HP of the Pokemon.
This ans that Ditto becos almost a perfect copy of the Pokemon after using [Transform]. Only the level of the Pokemon is not copied.
Unfortunately, Alex noticed a downside to this "improvent" that wasn’t there before.
[Transform] on the Master rank now only allows Ditto to transform into the Pokemon(s) he saw on the sa day.
In his test, Alex noticed that after one night, Ditto could no longer transform into Flannery’s Pokemon.
Although he hadn’t tested it yet, Alex had the suspicion that every ti Ditto goes to sleep he couldn’t transform into the Pokemon he saw during his last "awake ti".
Alex naturally couldn’t force Ditto to stay awake forever after knowing this fact, so he couldn’t do anything about that disadvantage.
But even with this disadvantage, Ditto is still the strongest Pokemon, at the sa level, in Alex’s team.
Ditto sees at least every morning all of Alex’s Pokemon and thus effectively a perfect copy of each of these Pokemon.
Ditto is truthfully almost invincible against Pokemon at the sa level.
Against Umbreon, Ditto can transform into Blaziken, or against Blaziken, Ditto can transform into Gardevoir/Crobat.
As long as Ditto didn’t have a level disadvantage, Ditto is almost invincible.
So, as soon as Ditto improves its potential from Shallow Diamond to Diamond, in the future, it will catch up with most of Alex’s Pokemon once they reach the Champion level and it will no longer have a level disadvantage against Alex’s other Pokemon.
"An SS-ranked Pokemon will start leveling slower at level 60, but an SS Pokemon will only start leveling slower at level 65." Those were Giovanni’s words and words that Alex doesn’t doubt.
He didn’t think Giovanni would lie to him about such an unnecessary thing.
As Alex pondered over the future of Ditto, he saw from the edge of his vision that Scizor had leveled up.
[LV: 55>56]
’That’s a good sign. Although Scizor trained the most, the other Pokemon are not far behind, so they will soon reach level 56 as well.’
normally Scizor always reaches the new highest level of Alex’s team first. Then relatively quickly after Scizor reaches Crobat and Gardevoir the sa level. Blaziken and Umbreon also reach the new highest level, although they had to wait a relatively long ti for it.
Although these 5 Pokemon are at the sa level, Alex’s three starter Pokemon have been at this level several weeks longer than the other two Pokemon.
Now that Alex’s three starter Pokemon no longer had a potential disadvantage, it’s impossible for Blaziken and Umbreon to level faster than those three Pokemon anymore.
...
After about 40 hours Alex and his team reached the Harbor of Slateport City.
During this ti, Alex spent most of his ti with Flannery and ditating in his room.
Alex had ford a friendship with Flannery and even got Flannery’s phone number during this ti.
He didn’t know if Flannery saw him as anything other than a friend, but he had a hunch that wasn’t the case.
Alex had the feeling that Flannery was a little bit interested in him even if she wasn’t "in love".
Although he had no real interest in Flannery, he wasn’t bothered by Flannery’s attempts to get close.
She was discreet and rarely flirted with him in their conversations.
Flannery and Alex said their goodbyes, and Alex was alone again.
Alex was in Slateport City right now, not far from the town where he wants to set up his headquarters.
Dawn Hurst Town is the na of the place that Alex carefully picked.
