The Zap Pte

  It is a precious item with a simir effeag, both boosting the power of Electric-type moves by 20% in the games. However, the Zap Pte possesses unique qualities.

  In addition to enhang Electric-type moves, the Zap Pte allows Arceus to transform into aric-type Pokémon with its signature move Judgment, also ging to Electric-type.

  While Ptes be found iain locations, such as underground tunnels or the Grand Underground, their avaibility demonstrates that they are not one-of-a-kind items. This fact differentiates the Ptes from Arceus's in Ptes.

  The cracked Zap Pte in Paul's possession came with its ow of issues, the most obvious being energy leakage, which dimis effectiveness in boosting moves.

  Over time, as energy tio dissipate, the Zap Pte could eventually lose its power and bee an ordinary sb.

  This fw signifitly reduced the Pte's overall value, which is why Ueno chose to gift it to Paul.

  After a brief examination, Paul casually tossed the Zap Pte to his eager Elekid.

  "Figure out if you use it somehow." Paul said.

  "Bzzt-Bzzt~!"

  Elekid had been waiting for this moment. Grabbing the Pte, it began to sehe energy within.

  The pure Electriergy resonated with its body, and it immediately felt its strength surge.

  Uhe Mag had previously held, which boosted power by enhang released energy, the Zap Pte directly amplified its irength—simir to multiplying power by 1.2 versus adding 0.2 directly to base power.

  The difference was vast.

  Elekid also sehat the Zap Pte’s potential far exceeded the current amplification it provided. However, as a Pokémon with limited uanding of such items, it couldn’t figure out how to fully unlock its power.

  The residual energy leaking from the Pte felt incredibly f to Elekid, and its body instinctively absorbed it.

  The sensation was so satisfying that Elekid felt a strange urge te the Pte into its body.

  Paul’s knowledge of Attribute Ptes was limited. Despite their rarity, a few had been discovered. Even researchers had yet to uheir true potential.

  "Could Elekid eat the Pte to absorb its energy?" Paul thought, then he froze.

  In the anime, Heatran had ed the Fme Pte, being untrolbly powerful to the point of almost self-destru.

  But that was a Source of Life, something even Arceus couldn’t fully ie. The Zap Pte oher hand, wasn’t nearly as potent, and this one was damaged.

  Paul’s expression darkened as he sidered the possibility. But ultimately, he dismissed the idea.

  Swallowing the Pte seemed reckless and absurd.

  Or so he thought.

  "Bzzt...Bzzt…"

  A sudden coughing fit from Elekid caught Paul’s attentiourned, only to see his Pokémon striking its jaw repeatedly.

  With one final punch, Elekid swallowed the remaining fragment of the Zap Pte.

  Paul: =_=''Vulpix: “???”

  Turtwig: “???”

  Everyone froze.

  "How did you even mao swallow something that big?" Paul asked, his eye twitg.

  "Bzzt!"

  Elekid stood proudly, its cheeks flushed as it decred its resolve.

  Before anyone could react, a massive surge of energy erupted from within Elekid.

  Golden lightning coursed through its body, illuminating the cracks in the Zap Pte within.

  “Focus! Absorb the energy and strengthen yourself!” Paul shouted.

  "Bzzt!"

  Elekid ched its teeth and began abs the energy, following Paul’s instrus to el it throughout its body.

  However, the energy was far too abundant. Elekid’s cells greedily absorbed the power, but it was soon overwhelmed.

  “Try using Bulk Up to reinforce your body!” Paul anded.

  Elekid, recalling its training with Ursaring, managed a crude imitation of the move, strengthening its physique to hahe strain.

  “Sand Tomb, Turtwig!” Paul ordered.

  “Grrrwaah!”

  Turtwig created a massive vortex of sand, ready to act as a discharge point.

  “Elekid, Thunder!”

  "Bzzt!"

  Elekid unleashed a powerful Thunder into the Sand Tomb, the energy spilling out in golden arcs. The vortex transformed into a glowiric pit, its sheer iy making even Ground-types wary.

  Despite the release, the energy from the Zap Pte tio overwhelm Elekid.

  Elekid standing defiant, its body glowing with residual lightning as Paul and the others brace for the aftermath.
