Power limiter clip on the chest. Big ol' weak point which could cause the thing Simon fears the most: hurting someone, such as a delicate civilian or his own trainer, on accident.

What else… the Golurk evolution is weirder than you realize, there's another aspect to their flight power. Check bulbapedia. Cannon-butt when posed for a handstand.

Pfft. The seal that - if removed - makes a normal Golurk go berserk? You think such a limit would affect Simon? As the man he's named after would say, "Who the hell do you think I am?"

Thats no weakness. That's an asset.

So you're saying that Super talented Golurk, who just had a Power of Friendship boost has a 2nd stage transformation at the cost of his mind? Itwouldn't be too farfetch'd for Simon to be kept grounded by Brad while in that state, I believe.

Thanks but it's just movie dialogue that I've rearrange around, thought it fitted.

Repeating again Simon own words: No! That's YOUR Limitation!!

This is no longer Timid nature Simon, this is full on Brave Nature Simon, fully evolved and ready to take on the world for a storm, because his drill is the drill that will one day pierce the heavens!
 
So Ariana thinks she just found out the key to the Ursaluna evolution? Lol. Lmao even. Good luck continuing the testing for every moon phase. Hell, they might not even realise it has to be done at night.

It's too late. He's already punched straight through the side and the first of many explosions are beginning to rock the innards of the vessel. In only a few hits from the S-Potential Pokémon, the zeppelin is already beginning to list and lose altitude.

'No. Not S-ranked.' I realize with a moment of dumbfounded awe. I saw it only for a second, but it was there.

Potential: SS

He didn't go up one rank to S+. He went up three.

Hell yeah. A legendary moment, living up to their name. I wonder how many of the passengers realise they just witnessed a legend in the making? I really doubt many champions even have SS rank pokemon, that kind of thing sounds like it's one in a hundred million.

It does have me wondering if his rank went up so high due to the situation though, a tight battle with no rules with their trainer and friends in danger? Perfect time for a shounen power up.

Probably has to do with the Japanese translation and meaning since the reason why Sucker Punch is not boost by Iron Fist is because it means 「ふいうち」Surprise Attack in Japanese.

It's also why Poison Jab isn't boosted by Iron Fist, since it is called「どくづき」 Poison Stab in Japanese.
 
Isn't Simon too overpowered now? I think SS is an overkill.

The letter ranks have more to do with potential and talent rather than current strength from what i remember, simon is still relatively low level compared to his other mons and probably compared to the elite four and champion as well.

Yeah but by the time the conference comes around I don't see anyone matching him, unless the letters means something else.
 
This is so good I had to break my stance on commenting! I've been on a bit of Pokemon fic reading spree and this is almost exactly what I've been looking for:
  • a morally gray mc
  • a mild cheat
  • proper use of metaknowledge
  • "realistic" but not grimdark
  • potential for romance
  • not accepting every Tom, Dick and Harry to the team
And those are just some of the good things I've found this story to have so far. I was a bit iffy about the possible inclusion of fakemon but I trust you've got it handled @LordVishnu. I once tried reading your One Piece fic but dropped it for reasons I don't remember. Gonna have to give it another go! Looking forward to seeing more of this. Good stuff!
 
feel like the kanto league gonna use this to deal with the Kalos/Orre problem like they can't interfere publicly and officially in Orre so they send him in exchange for amnesty à la Red Dead Redemption 1
 
Do not necro. This is against Rule 7
Boy oh boy, what a treat! I can't wait to see the fallout for this chapter. Rocket's definitely stored proof of Brad's prior dealings with them, and has a way to expose it that makes him look terrible, but he's also directly responsible for ruining this operation of theirs.

Since he was only moving some earth for them, it won't look too bad, he'll come out looking like an anti-hero, but it's probably enough to get banned from the Silver Conference unless they're lenient.

Lmao, that's another watchlist he'll be on. Most importantly, I hope Lorelei doesn't think too poorly of him.

Awesome story, you're a great writer Vishnu.
