Chapter 400: Torrecchia's Revenge

Casto continued typing on the on-screen document, feeling the need to complete the relevant parts in one go, lest something go wrong with the stuff that he didn't notice.

Like the gym, Casto already had an existing template in his mind for the badge

The Badge (Japanese: .バッジ, English: ..Badge), also known as the Gym Badge (Japanese: "Gym Badge", or "League Badge"), is a Pokémon reward item that serves as proof of defeating the Gym Owner.

In most areas, a certain number of Gym Badges need to be collected to qualify for the local Alliance, so Trainers often make special journeys to collect the badges they need.

Generally, the size of the badge can be placed in the palm of the hand, stored in the badge box or framed in a disc, and some badges can be pinned to clothing, of course, in this universe, Castor believes that the size of the badge needs to be changed somewhat, at least this thing needs to be able to adapt to the different bodies of gigantic and equal body and become bigger and smaller.

But fortunately, the technology of this universe, whether it is the Empire, the Land of Light, or even some strange civilizations, has black technology that can do this, and Castor believes that these things are not difficult.

Of course, Castor understands that he needs to add some special familiarity and effects to the coat of arms.

The first is through a specific area.

In order to reflect the importance of the gym system, Casto felt that it was necessary for him to add some professional forbidden roads in the empire, and some places had to pass the inspection if they wanted to enter, and the items of inspection were often badges, of course, the badge must not be just the only pass, but it must be the most popular way to obtain the right to pass.

On top of that, Casto felt that if he challenged the Celestial King or something, he had to collect all the badges, and he even felt that he could connect this thing more deeply with the imperial system, for example, if you want to become an imperial powerhouse, you must get all the badges.

Casto remembers very well that in the games "Red/Green/Blue/Pikachu", "Fire/Leaf/Green" and "Let's Go! Pikachu/Let's Go! Eevee, it is not possible to enter Road 3 from Dark Grey City until the Grey Badge is obtained: there is a Kid in Shorts who will block the entrance to the path and will lead the protagonist to the Dark Grey Gym.

In Heart Gold/Soul Silver, after obtaining the other 7 badges of the Quartz Alliance, Teal will return to the Evergreen Dojo to wait for the challenge.

Casto looked at the map of the Empire, and he felt that if necessary, he would need to design some special roads for the Empire to have a similar system.

Improve capabilities.

Also vaguely remembered, Castor recalled that some badges could increase Pokémon's abilities (however, not for connected battles), increasing by 12.5% before the third generation, and 10% in the third generation.

In the first generation, this ability boost will be repeated every time a Pokémon's ability changes and changes, and Pokémon will temporarily expire after leveling up in PvP and will resume in the next PvP. In the second generation, if the attacker hits a key point and its corresponding offensive ability change (attack or special attack) is lower than the defender's corresponding defensive ability change (defense or special defense), the emblem effect will not be activated. There is also a bug in the game in Gen 2 where if a Pokémon's special attack is between 206 and 433, the special defense will not be increased.

Something similar to Casto wanted to join the Coats of Arms of the Universe, but he couldn't figure out for a moment how to give the Badge a power that would allow him to increase the Challenger's abilities

There is also one thing, after defeating the gym owner, a special move to learn - a learning machine.

In the first to fourth generations of the game, the MoveLearner disappears after use.

From Gen 5 to Sword/Shield, the MoveLearner can be used as many times as you like. As of Crystal Diamond/Brilliant Pearl, the MoveLearner can only be used once again.

The MoveLearner can be picked up on the ground in the game, gifted by other characters, or purchased in the Shop; If the protagonist defeats the Gym Master and earns a badge, they will also give the MoveLearner as a gift.

Silver had distributed a pamphlet about the MoveSetter and the Esoteric Learner, suggesting that they were at least partially produced by them.

Many move trainers contain moves that can also be obtained through breeding (e.g. Fire Storm Beasts can pass on this move to turkey chickens by laying eggs), although some Pokémon can only be learned through move learners and not through laying eggs, such as Six Tails to learn energy balls.

Casto didn't think it was difficult, compared to the function of the badge itself, it wasn't too difficult to get those gym owners to take out some housekeeping skills as skills for publicity.

However, outside of the game, Casto also thought of something that can be used for reference, and that is the comics, to be precise, the comics of the Pokémon that he had seen in his previous life. Pokémon Special.

In the Pokémon special from Castor's memories, the badge has even more magical powers. (Speaking of which, the Pokémon special manga is really good, and I loved it when I was a kid.) )

Similar to the game, the badges in the special chapter have special powers, one of which is to tame Pokémon, and the three cadres of Team Rocket, Nazi, Ju and Ma Zhishi, used their badges to control the three legendary bird Pokémon;

The second is to enhance the Pokémon's abilities, for which Team Rocket has developed a badge energy amplifier in the hope of amplifying this energy to create new Pokémon.

In VS Legendary Bird Pokémon, the Energy Amplifier starts successfully after putting in seven badges (a slot without a green badge on the surface), making the three Legendary Bird Pokémon into three birds in one.

It was later revealed that there was actually a hidden slot for the green badge in the center. In VS Needle Bee, the Four Heavenly Kings of Guandu, led by Adu, try to summon a mysterious white Pokémon by using Sufang Island as a "giant badge energy amplifier" based on this mechanism. But in the end, Adu was defeated by Xiao Huang, and the energy of the badge was also released by the white Pokémon, bringing life back to the barren land of Sufang Island.

The presiding officer of the gym hall has a trainer badge as a status symbol. Kin's Otaro once scraped off some powder of the Kamen Man's mask, and later in VS Red Storm Dragon, Dr. Nakakugi analyzed that the powder was the same as the material of the trainer's badge, indicating that the Kamen Man was a hall owner.

The Pokémon League, which is shared by the Kanto region and the Johto region, does not require badges to participate, but if you collect 8 badges, you can directly advance to the finals; This was done to encourage trainers to challenge the gym, and to dispel the prejudice that badges were evil items after the events at Silver and Su Fang Island. The Pokémon Alliance in the United Region requires 8 badges to participate.

Castor didn't plan to add such special abilities to the badge, and in fact he didn't have the ability to make these man-made badges have the power to summon some 'giant creatures'.

However, Casto thinks that if necessary, he can promote it, add some legends or something, and guide some traffic to the gym and badges.

After Casto finished writing about the coat of arms, he felt that his idea was good, and he was just a little satisfied, when he saw the emperor hesitate for a moment and then said to Casto, "Let's not talk about work, let's talk about you, Casto, how are you doing?" Have you ever encountered anything? Didn't you find out that you were weird in the past two days? ”

"What's wrong? Strange and good-looking? Casto wanted to say a quip, but found that neither Torrecchia nor Ampera was amused by him, so he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the emperor, "Okay, I might have been a little nervous lately?" ”

"That's right, you think about it yourself, your recent performance has given people a feeling that you are very different, and it's not just me, the first generation and Severn have similar feelings, are you too stressed? Do you need me to give you a few days off to rest and rest? ”

"Wait, why are you so gentle with Lord Castor, Your Majesty?" Torrecchia pretended to be angry while cooking, "I, Torrecchia, am also very tired and stressed now, and I need to rest!" ”

"Humph! You stinky fish and shrimp, I don't think you need to rest, you need someone to chase after you to be able to unleash your full potential, unlike you, I don't know what's going on with that guy in Casto now, but in the end, he has made this universe different from what it used to be. ”

"The universe? What universe? Torrecchia was stunned for a moment, just about to say something, but listened to Casto say casually, "Hey, the matter of cooperation, you go to see the relevant matters of cooperation when the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor has expressed high appreciation for my performance this time, although I think this is just a small step in the universe, just a very insignificant thing."

"Actually, I still have a very, very, very many thoughts in my head, and I'm still worried about whether the current situation in the universe will allow me to continue with all kinds of thoughts, and I'm still worried about whether my thoughts will cause harm to the universe."

"Wait, hurt ??????" As if he had reacted, the Emperor suddenly got up and walked over to Casto's side, looking Castor up and down.

Casto looked at the emperor suspiciously, then at Torrecchia, then at the emperor suspiciously, and then at Torrecchia suspiciously, he really didn't know what was going on, he just felt that the emperor must have thought of something wrong.

As he expected, the Emperor frowned and looked at Casto, "So that's the source of your strange behavior these days?" Are you worried that everything you do to the universe might affect those weak ordinary people in the universe? Is that so? Castor ??? ”

Before Casto could speak, Emperor Ampera sighed deeply, and then said, "But this is normal, after all, you are still a member of the Land of Light, and I can understand that you have some thoughts about things in the universe." ”

"But if you have your own ideas, forget it, you will still be affected by such thoughts, and the whole person will become the size of a human being, and even start to try to live with their lifestyle"

"Uh, is there one? I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary in my performance, do I? Casto scratched his head and turned his head away from wanting to dwell on the matter with the Emperor, but at this moment, Torrecchia seemed to think of something funny, and a smile appeared on his lips.

“PTSD!” Torrecchia, suddenly, said, "I see, Casto, you must have the PTSD you yourself once proposed. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard this word, "What is PTSD?"

"Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a delayed onset and persistence of a mental disorder that occurs when an individual experiences, witnesses, or encounters one or more actual deaths, threatens to die, or is seriously injured, or has a threat to bodily integrity, involving themselves or others."

Torrecchia had learned more about this thing on Earth, and then he began to speak very seriously to the Emperor.

"There are three groups of core symptoms of PTSD, namely traumatic re-experience symptoms, avoidance and numbness symptoms, and heightened alertness symptoms.

The first is the traumatic re-experiential symptoms:

It is mainly manifested by repeated and involuntary emergence of trauma-related situations or content in the patient's thoughts, memories or dreams, and there can also be severe emotional reactions, and even the feeling that the traumatic event seems to happen again.

Mr. Casto's cooking, a series of behaviors, I think is a kind of traumatic re-experience symptom.

Then there are avoidance and numbness symptoms:

It is mainly manifested by patients who try to avoid events or situations related to the traumatic experience for a long time or persistently, refuse to participate in related activities, avoid the place of trauma or people or things related to the trauma, and some patients even have selective amnesia and cannot recall the details of the trauma-related events.

It is evident that Mr. Castor is very evasive, even a little numb, of your concern for the Emperor.

This is followed by symptoms of increased alertness:

The main manifestations are hypervigilance and increased startle response, which may be accompanied by inattention, increased agitation, and anxiety.

I don't need to say much about that, Mr. Castor is still wary of us, and I think his reaction now speaks for itself.

Of course, there are other symptoms:

Some patients may also exhibit addictive substance abuse, aggressive behavior, self-harm, or suicidal behavior, which are often manifestations of the patient's psychobehavioral coping style. At the same time, depressive symptoms are also a common accompanying symptom in many patients with PTSD. ”

Torrecchia said this, giving a strange look at the meal he was cooking, "I now suspect that Mr. Casto's pursuit of the earth's breakfast is in some sense the addiction of earthly flavor abuse."

Casto opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but the emperor nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Torrecchia to continue, while Torrecchia thought for a moment and finally spoke,

"The last one is. Symptomatic features of PTSD in children

Traumatic re-experience symptoms in children can manifest as nightmares, repeated re-enactment of traumatic events, playing trauma-related themed games, and emotional agitation or sadness in the face of relevant cues.

Avoidance symptoms in children often manifest as separation anxiety, clinginess, and reluctance to leave parents;

In children, symptoms of hypervigilance often manifest as excessive startle response, high vigilance, impaired attention, irritability or anger, and difficulty falling asleep. And children of different ages may also have different manifestations of PTSD. ”

"Mr. Castor is now playing the role of a human being repeatedly, and he is reluctant to leave the ship, and he has strange requirements for sleep, and I have reason to suspect that what Mr. Castor is getting is a kind of children's PTSD!"

The Emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at Casto with a strange gaze.

Casto was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said to the blue Casto, who had no time to pay attention to him in the depths of his consciousness, "It sounds like there is some truth, do you have this child PTSD?" ”

This chapter may be a little watery, but after thinking about it, I still put some Pokémon information up
