Vermilion City.

In a hotel, Alex and his Pokémon were all silently training.

After the visit to the grave of Gardevoir's mother, the mood in the room really took a deep dive. Although everyone tries to stay positive, today wasn't a day that it was possible.

Alex felt the same and hoped that it will probably be better after a good night's rest. A good night's rest can change the atmosphere, hopefully for the better.

After several hours, Alex and his Pokémon went to sleep unusually early. And the quiet night passed without any further anomaly.

...

Alex, who was woken up early by his alarm clock, looked around the hotel room.

After not seeing any other Pokémon for a few seconds, he got up and walked towards the bathroom.

When he turned on the shower, he thought about yesterday's event but immediately suppressed his thoughts and began to think about other things.

Alex recalled that he still has to test the move [Facade]. Yesterday, he actually wanted to do it, but later, he didn't feel like doing it.

He also knew that the ship would leave in three hours and that he didn't have much time left.

After Alex had a good shower, he thought that soon his Pokémon will start to wake up and start training.

Combusken, who had already half-forgotten what she saw yesterday, went to Gardevoir with a cheerful smile and started talking to her.

Gardevoir, who was still sad, felt a bit better when she saw Combusken talking to her with such an innocent smile.

Eevee, who saw this, also went to Gardevoir and talked about various little things with her.

Crobat and Scizor started bickering with each other again as usual.

Ditto and Bastiodon talked about various things with a slight smile. And the atmosphere in the room had already become better than yesterday.

Seeing this improvement, Alex thought with a smile, "Although I can see that Gardevoir is still very down, it is at least not as gloomy as yesterday. Hopefully, she will soon get joyful again like usual and enjoy her life."

After 30 minutes, Alex finished preparing breakfast and distributed it among the Pokémon.

Although the mood at breakfast wasn't bad, it was a bit reserved than usual and a bit weird.

After breakfast, Alex & Co. went to the training room of the hotel, which he had rented for 2 hours.

Alex did not try to save money and borrowed the best and most stable measuring machine that the hotel owns.

Although this machine can no longer withstand the damage after a certain limit, Pokémon under the Champion rank are not a problem as long as the attack is physical.

Alex, who wanted to test the strength of the move [Facade], thought that the money for this machine was worth it if he can accurately analyze [Facade].

"Ok. Eevee, use Facade normally first."

Eevee nodded and started preparing Facade. After a few seconds, she started running towards the machine while using Facade.

{220} was displayed on the screen after Eevee hit the machine.

"Crobat, use Toxic on Eevee."

Eevee showed a calm expression when he heard this and got poisoned by Crobat without showing any change on her face.

The poison from an Elite Poison-type Pokémon is no joke and very harmful to Pokémon below the Elite rank. But Eevee endured it with no problem.

"Ok. Eevee, use Facade again."

After a few seconds, Eevee started using the move Facade again.

{345} was displayed on the screen after Eevee hit the machine

Alex, who saw that the strength was not doubled, was not surprised. He already thought the Facade would only be good on the Expert rank like all other moves.

He was even surprised that the number had increased so much.

"Hmm, can it be that the amplification also depends on the strength of the status effect? Let's test it just to be on the safe side."

"Eevee, use Rest."

After Eevee woke up, the test continued.

Eevee hit the machine again after she was poisoned by Scizor. Alex saw the number {320} and showed a slight change of expression on his face.

"Hmm... It really has something to do with that." thought Alex as he continued with the next test.

When the number {413} was displayed, Alex knew that the move Facade has really good potential.

After half an hour, Alex got the following results.

1: Eevee Normal: 220

2: Eevee Poisoned (Crobat): 345

3: Eevee Poisoned (Scizor): 320

4: Eevee Poisoned & Paralyzed (Crobat & Scizor): 413

5: Eevee Burned (Combusken): 310

6: Eevee Burned (Gardevoir): 240

7: Eevee Poisoned & Paralyzed & Burned (Crobat & Scizor & Gardevoir): 402

8: Eevee Poisoned & Paralyzed & Burned (Crobat & Scizor & Combusken): 450

--------------------

The result of the 8th test particularly impressed Alex very much.

Unfortunately, the move Facade is not on the Expert rank and is, therefore, a good deal weaker than usual.

Out of interest, he even let Crobat use the move Cross Poison against the machine once, and the result was surprising.

{1220} was the number displayed when Crobat hit the machine.

Alex, who saw this, knew that this number had more to do with the Elite level of Crobat, and it is not fair to compare it to Eevee.

Not to mention, Crobat had used the move on the Expert rank. This was like cheating against Eevee.

"Hmm, no wonder that Elite Pokémon are so much prominent. Even their moves get such a spike in power."
