"Double Rock?"
"Which two people form the 'Twin Rocks'?"
Jean and Kaeya, who gathered around Noelle, were also confused for a moment.
"Noelle herself has a Geo Vision."
"Plus the Onix is a Rock/Ground type."
"Isn't it the classic 'Double Geo' resonance bond formed by human and Pokémon?"
Manager Hiroshi.
What you said makes sense, and we can't refute it.
Just when Kaeya took the lead and they were all about to roll their eyes at the pun, Jean suddenly narrowed her eyes and reminded them in a deep voice:
"Tartaglia in the group chat has proven that the power of his Hydro Vision can interact with Ice Pokémon through elemental reactions."
"Why can't humans and Pokémon resonate with the power of elements of the same attribute?!"
Suddenly.
Everyone present was stunned, and immediately looked at Hiroshi, who spread his hands.
"That's what I said."
"There is a resonance damage bonus. Otherwise, at the same level, no matter how the attributes are restrained, the Onix couldn't defeat a Sneasel with a single hit."
Hiroshi himself was a little surprised internally.
In the [Arena] of this System, everything is unpredictable.
But according to the principles in the game Genshin Impact, doesn't the "Enduring Rock" (Geo Resonance) buff only take effect when protected by a shield? It increases damage dealt by 15%.
In other words, Pokémon don't need a shield to have a damage bond entry?
Or maybe local Trainers like Noelle provide the passive buff just by existing? Is it subject to hidden rules?
"Forget it. When there are more and more Trainers on Teyvat and the samples become more abundant, the answer will naturally come to light."
Rosaria was helpless about the defeat. Her skills were all "scraping" (dealing negligible damage) against the high defense of the Onix.
Everyone in the Knights was surrounding Noelle to praise the victor.
The little maid's face turned red with excitement. It was the recognition she had craved.
Hiroshi walked over to Rosaria and said quietly:
"There is no way to control it at low levels. At this time, the importance of Team Formation is highlighted."
"With a second or more Pokémon to cover weaknesses, the situation won't be so awkward."
The crimson eyes beneath the dark circles of Rosaria revealed a rare and strange smile.
"Manager Hiroshi, are you trying to comfort me?"
She crossed her arms under her chest, and her impressive bust was naturally accentuated.
Well, it's such a big pair of white slimes.
No wonder the bust was reduced during the implementation of the character model in the game.
She is indeed a 'Bad Nun' with sin!
Hiroshi was silenced for a while, maintaining his professional composure.
Suddenly, Rosaria's pale cheeks had a subtle blush. She changed the topic and said, "Can I continue to draw a second Pokémon now?"
Hiroshi coughed. "After getting the initial Pokémon, you can draw again at least next week."
"All right..."
Rosaria curled her lips coldly and glanced at Noelle, who was being praised by everyone in the Knights.
It seems that this situation will not be recovered for the time being.
Hiroshi thought for a while and directly uploaded the unedited battle video to the Customer Group Chat.
Obviously, with the video of Hu Tao and Xiangling "pecking each other like rookies," the group could absorb some basic battle experience.
But in this battle between the new Trainers in Mondstadt, the tactical level was much higher.
Both players' use of Pokémon attributes, characteristics, terrain, and skills was commendable.
Overall, it was at least as good as a standard Novice Trainer battle.
Main Store Area.
Coming out of the [Arena].
On the treatment equipment table—Joy's Healing Machine—Hiroshi put the Poké Balls on the slots to treat Sneasel and Onix.
Everyone in the Knights could not help but circle around this machine, pointing and whispering, once again marveling at the black technology that shocked their worldview.
When the machine chimed Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding! signaling full health, they packed up their belongings to leave.
Acting Grand Master Jean specially found Hiroshi, who was counting today's revenue at the front desk.
"Manager Hiroshi."
"Will your 'Branch Store' be open forever?"
Emm, this question.
Hiroshi hesitated and said truthfully:
"Actually, I came to Mondstadt on the way to check something else. I didn't plan to stay long, and I got another temporary 'Mission' from my headquarters. But thanks to everyone in the Knights, the mission is already halfway through."
"After the mission is completed, I will likely go back to Liyue directly."
Jean took a sharp breath.
So, within two or three days?
She suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
She personally adopted an Eevee, and in the short but wonderful competition just now, she saw the bright strategic future of Pokémon.
It can be said that a powerful Trainer and their powerful Pokémon are of strategic significance to the Mondstadt region. They are no less important than the users of Visions.
In this way, the strength and number of Trainers may affect the military balance between the Seven Nations.
Of course, Jean hoped that the Breeding House would always be open in Mondstadt, so many citizens could benefit from it.
But for now, it seemed that Liyue was the main base of Manager Hiroshi.
"The Branch Store has always existed in the network," Hiroshi explained, "but there is only one Store Manager—me."
"However, once I recruit a reliable Intern Store Manager in the future, it's not like we can't keep opening a physical branch in Mondstadt permanently..."
Don't forget, there is a Trade Machine and teleportation technology in the Pokémon world. Pokémon can be sent across regions to the location of another machine at any time.
It is said to be a "Branch Store," but the layout is completely copied from the Main Store in Liyue by the System. Even the upgrade modules and various super expansion facilities obtained through lottery are mirrored.
So, there is only one problem with the branch: Staffing.
"Store Manager!"
Jean, who realized that Hiroshi might leave soon, couldn't stay any longer. She nodded resolutely and hurried away.
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
Returning to the headquarters building, Jean immediately ordered the logistics knights to use the messenger falcons used for emergency communication during war to send a message to the important personnel scattered outside Mondstadt.
"National Priority Matter. Return to Mondstadt immediately!"
"——Acting Grand Master, Jean Gunnhildr"
Goth Grand Hotel, Mondstadt.
Anastasia, the masked Fatui diplomat who was usually arrogant to the outside world, carefully opened a heavy wooden door.
In the room, La Signora (The Fair Lady), the Eighth of the Fatui Harbingers, had a witch's arrogant smile on her lips.
"Is there anything else you need to report?"
"If it's about the Anemo Archon, there's no need for it. From the thick information on Mondstadt personnel, I've already confirmed the identity of this person—the bard."
"Well, wait a little longer and let the mice jump a little more. I will be there when they are most happy and cheering for victory over the dragon."
"Click!"
La Signora snapped her fingers, ice forming in the air.
"Take out his heart—— The Gnosis!"
The beautiful Fatui diplomat forced a smile. If it weren't for the emergency, she really wouldn't want to open the door to see this witch with a twisted personality.
"It's another information document, Lady Signora..."
"Just now, many high-ranking members of the Knights, headed by Acting Grand Master Jean, visited a strange new store."
"And... they came out carrying mysterious creatures."
