” It is just that I am curious.” he replied plainly.
” Curious”, the three echoed and pondered
” Yes, I am curious.” Alex repeated.
”So you want to be a Pokemon Researcher because you are curious.” Lance repeated.
”but why?”
” I am curious about why pokemons have different abilities. I mean take this Spheal for example.” He pointed at Spheal.
All the people glanced at him and Spheal wobbled around Lorelei. Now Lorelei took it on her hand and gently patted it's head.
”Lorelei tell me what abilities Spheal have?” Alex asked her.
” As far as I know it has thick fat.” she replied.
” thick fat?” Lance asked,” What is it?”
Alex asked him,” What do you know about Pokemon's ability ?”
” Isn't pokemons moves and their types, their ability.” he replied.
Hearing this answer different people had different reactions.
Lorelei and Agatha shook their head, Surge, Giovanni and Koga sneered at him and Alex looked at him blankly.
”You have no ideawhat it is.” he told him and continued,” Every Pokemon have certain abilities in their body which help them survive in different environment. For this Spheal, it has Thick fat. It means it has a higher resistance to fire and ice type moves. These moves have almost half as much damage as it normally causes. So we can say it will not be affected much by it's weakness fire move. You understand it.”
Lance nodded blankly as if whatever he said pass over his head then he continued to Lorelei,” Your Spheal may have another character ability. It is called ice body. It will heal itself in hail or snow or other icy conditions. Just like how Lapras heals in rain.”
”So Spheal has other ability too.” She looked at the Spheal in her hand then hugged it tightly,” You are so awesome.”To this Spheal squealed.
” It also has a hidden ability.”
Here this all were puzzled.
Seeing this he explained,” Yes. Some Pokemons have some extra abilities in addition to their primary ability. You can call it secondary or hidden ability. This ability is not instinctive but must be awakened. Your Spheal may have oblivious ability. Pokemon with this are not affected by infatuation move and taunts of Pokemon. My own Swinub has snow cloak as primary ability and thick fat as hidden move.”
Hearing this they all nodded. While Giovanni eyes sparkled in delight. Agatha then told him,” I can see why you would have that Charmeleon.”
” Do you know his heritage?”he asked puzzled.
