Chapter 21: Who Else Can’t Fly?!
As the first pool party held at home, everyone’s mood was also very high.
Whether it was Riolu frantically accelerating the training speed, or Dragonair flapping in the pool for half a day, or Mime Jr. multitasking to quickly set up the venue and tidy things up.
Psychic Power is really a very convenient ability.
In theory, as long as the brain can run split-screen, Pokémon and humans with Psychic Power can completely do many things at the same time.
For example, at this moment, Mime Jr. was controlling a rag to wipe the table with one hand, lifting chairs with Psychic Power to lay picnic cloths underneath them with another, holding a knife to process meat, vegetables and fruits and other ingredients with yet another, and starting to fiddle with oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar to prepare seasoning with the last.
Four lines running simultaneously, extremely busy.
It was clear that this eternal laid-back Mime Jr. who only knew how to act was also getting playful, preparing to finish the preparations and jump into the water to play happily with everyone.
Lively atmosphere is a grand event that every social animal finds hard to refuse.
Even a shut-in like Li Wei couldn’t help but feel eager to join in upon seeing the Pokémon around him so expectant of the pool party activity.
Although he had no intention of getting into the water, that didn’t stop him from leaving his cheering spot under the parasol to help Mime Jr. with something.
Li Wei jumped down from the lounge chair floating in the air, walked to Mime Jr.’s side, patted his shoulder and said to him.
“Mime Jr., you can hand the ingredient processing task to me. After wiping and arranging the things cleanly, you go play with them.”
“Bari?!”
【Really?!】
Mime Jr. tilted his eyes, looking at Li Wei with doubt.
Regarding whether Li Wei could actually help with the work, he had no confidence.
After all, he was just a male Mime Jr.
In his impression, Li Wei had no cooking experience at all and had always been eating crap… eating what he made to grow up.
In theory, could a human with zero kitchen experience suddenly say he could cook at this time? Was that really reliable?
Mime Jr. wasn’t worried about anything happening to this temporary barbecue stall.
Although there was a lot of vegetation here and operational mistakes could easily start a fire causing a ‘fire’, with him and Dragonair there, no major problems would arise.
He was actually just worried that Li Wei would make a lump of charred coal, ruining the good mood of the party.
Thinking of this, after carefully sizing Li Wei up from top to bottom, Mime Jr. came to the conclusion that ‘Li Wei is unreliable’ and immediately prepared to shake his head and refuse Li Wei.
“No problem, leave everything to me. I guarantee it’s a brand new version you’ve never eaten.”
But to Mime Jr.’s surprise, Li Wei was really sincere. He took the knife from his hand, skillfully cut the meat on the cutting board, and helped him mix the marinade sauce.
‘Hiss…’ This somewhat moved Mime Jr.’s heart.
“Bari?”
【Can you do it?】
Tentatively, Mime Jr. continued to ask.
“When have I ever not been able to!!!”
“Bari!!”
Seeing Li Wei patting his chest in guarantee, Mime Jr. chose to compromise, after all, he had wanted to play for a long time.
With Mime Jr. joining, Li Wei also didn’t let Riolu continue the boring practice.
He troubled Mime Jr. a bit to adjust the staircase made of the air wall.
He adjusted half of the venue to normal water depth, while the other half was adjusted to a shallow water area where Riolu could stand.
Immediately after, Mime Jr. used Psychic Power to control the prepared ‘props’ nearby, stretching a large net across the center of the swimming pool.
The first pool party volleyball match at Li Wei’s home officially begins!
This family volleyball match was grouped by drawing lots.
Dragonair and Mime Jr. VS Riolu. After Li Wei’s forceful fair draw, this obviously bullying-the-small volleyball match officially started.
Although this grouping had obvious differences in numbers and strength, Mime Jr., this childlike Pokémon, had no ‘sense of humility’ at all.
Taking care of the cub? He had no such thoughts at this moment.
Eager, head wrapped with a scarf, he grinned ferociously at Riolu standing on the opposite side of the net in the shallow water area.
“Bari!”
【Here comes grandpa to claim heads!】
With a whistle from Li Wei, the decade-long cheering squad old captain off the court, the volleyball match officially began.
First was Dragonair’s serve.
Skillfully flicking the volleyball into the air with its tail, Dragonair then suddenly leaped into the air, twisted its ‘snake waist’, with faint white light glowing on its huge tail, and fiercely swung at the volleyball.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air exploded beside Li Wei’s ear. In his sight, the volleyball in the court was smashing straight toward the water surface at an extremely fast speed.
This was just an opening serve, yet it was already so impressive.
But Riolu wasn’t raised on nothing.
Yesterday, he was also a Pokémon who could play frisbee with Dragonair at a fifty-fifty level.
Already prepared, under Li Wei’s shocked gaze, he quickly returned Dragonair’s straight shot.
The previous scene seemed to be played in slow motion, repeating over and over in Li Wei’s mind.
The instant the ball headed toward Riolu, he immediately spread his feet in the water, extended his hands into a catching pose, and blue Aura instantly began gathering in his hands.
Then, at the moment the ball approached, he positioned his hands above and below the ball, sliding parallel to the ball’s direction, rapidly releasing Aura power, making blue lines frantically wrap around the ball.
The volleyball flew toward the water surface and his rear, while at this time Riolu’s left hand gradually pulled away, catching the ball with only his right hand!
Finally, his right hand charged and fiercely tossed upward. Water splashed, the same sound of breaking air rang out, and Riolu perfectly neutralized Dragonair’s all-out first attack.
“Bari bari!!”
Seeing Riolu’s aggressive counterattack, Mime Jr. as the receiver also got excited.
He hooked the corner of his mouth, raised his big hand, and lightly hit the volleyball. In the blink of an eye, with a bang, the ball was smashed hard into the water, splashing water, and even creating a ball-shaped cavity in the pool lasting two seconds.
This wave of gods showing off each other truly stunned Li Wei.
Whether it was Dragonair’s perfect opening, or Riolu’s godlike understanding of the four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds resolution method, or Mime Jr.’s terrifying counterattack, all gave Li Wei a visual feast.
······
Opening setback, but this didn’t make Riolu feel despair or dejection. His eyes now sparkled with a light called ‘fighting spirit’.
“Lu!!”
【Interesting!!】
Saying that, he picked up the volleyball from the side, gathered Aura between his feet, and at the moment of tossing the ball, he charged and jumped fiercely to serve!
The game began.
The entire process was in full swing, hysterical, insane, with no room for a weak human like Li Wei to intervene. His choice to watch the play and string roasted meat from the side at the beginning was wise.
Seeing Riolu desperately in the pool, Li Wei felt very gratified.
Although on the surface this was a pool party game, in fact, it was just another pit Li Wei dug for Riolu.
Yesterday’s frisbee training made Li Wei realize Riolu’s strength and jumping ability. Thinking about certain Flying Type Pokémon he might encounter in the upcoming provincial competition, Li Wei felt that having the ability to fly was very important these days.
And today’s so-called party was for Riolu to learn Flight.
There was once a sentence in the world’s encyclopedia describing Aura.
‘Can release airflow to blow objects’.
Since it can release airflow, then with a little practice, controlling airflow in theory is no problem.
Like now, Riolu through game special training could already perfectly gather Aura to a specific point on his body. What he needed to practice now was just ‘proficiently projecting Aura outward’.
After being able to control airflow, as long as Riolu could increase the air flow speed above his top of head, according to Bernoulli’s principle, he could fly!
Proficiently controlling the air flow speed around his body could theoretically even achieve effects like Psychic Type Pokémon using Psychic Power to control their own movement.
Making any movements unconditionally and unlimitedly in the air would be no problem.
After training, hovering in the air, translating, etc., would not be a dream, and various actions defying ‘aerodynamics’ could also be done.
Li Wei had already taught Riolu this physics theory after finishing his self-criticism last night.
As for whether he could grasp the essence and comprehend it, Li Wei said it depended on his fortune.
Spoken very laid-back, but Li Wei was very expectant of Riolu’s performance.
Recalling his quick control of Aura when practicing Tai Chi, this mere branch of Aura, controlling airflow, he should be able to master it quickly too!
Besides theoretical support, Li Wei also specially selected the most suitable venue for Riolu.
Conducting special training in the swimming pool, besides Li Wei’s whim, had another factor.
Water has buoyancy.
Thus it could assist Riolu’s Flight practice and also serve as insurance.
If Riolu flew up but due to fear of heights or inexperience, failed to control Aura properly leading to a problem, falling from the air into the pool would still cushion him without injury.
After all, for the first Flight, Li Wei didn’t plan for him to fly too high, otherwise rescue wouldn’t be the pool, but Dragonair or Mime Jr.’s Psychic Power.
￥￥￥￥￥￥
Riolu’s diligence gave him a solid foundation. Under the oppression of the two evil Pokémon, Riolu’s unyielding mentality made him erupt with unprecedented potential.
In just the time Li Wei lowered his head in contemplation and strung over a dozen skewers of roasted meat, when he looked up again, he saw an astonishing scene.
The volleyball in the pool fell into Mime Jr.’s hands again. After another light pat, the volleyball flew toward the opposite court at a speed hard to catch with the naked eye once more.
But beyond Li Wei’s expectation, this time the ball didn’t smash into the water.
Riolu bent his knees and jumped, his right foot lightly touching the water surface. After briefly hovering in the air, whoosh! He appeared right in front of the volleyball’s flight path.
His chest blocked the volleyball, forcefully topping it into the air. Then, with no footing for his feet, Riolu’s body shot straight upward, blue Aura gathering in his extended right hand. After a brief charge, he smashed the ball toward the opposite side!
Accompanied by whistling wind, the volleyball wrapped in blue Aura rushed toward the rear of Mime Jr. and Dragonair with lightning speed.
Bang!
Massive water splashed up. Dragonair and Mime Jr. had no time to stop it, and the ball landed in the water.
First time! They failed to stop Riolu’s offense!
First time! Mime Jr.’s terrifying hit was intercepted and counterattacked by Riolu!
Seeing this scene, Li Wei couldn’t help but have all his body hair stand on end, eyes wide, suddenly standing up from the chair.
At this moment, he even wanted to cheer!
If possible, he wanted to shout loudly
—Who else can’t fly!!!!
Accompanied by the sound of churning pool water and whistling volleyball, Li Wei felt deeply gratified.
But······
He always felt that, amid the surprise, he seemed to have forgotten something.
“Bu!!! Bu Yi!!!!!”
Vaguely, it seemed he heard some voice shouting.
The screaming voice was excessively discordant.
After stringing another skewer of meat, Li Wei sucked in a cold breath, quickly put down the tools in his hand, bit the whistle hanging on his neck and blew it.
“Stop stop stop!!!”
He dashed to the deep water area, jumped into the pool, searching for the yellow small swimming ring he had taken earlier.
He knew he seemed to have forgotten something!!!
Too focused on training Riolu and watching the ‘match’, he completely forgot that Eevee, whom he had thrown into the deep water area for tempering, was still there.
Poor child, must have choked on a lot of water······
Thinking this, Li Wei hurriedly hugged Eevee up, removed the swimming ring and patted her back.
But······
At this time, Eevee’s reaction was somewhat different from what he imagined.
“Bu Yi Bu Yi Bu Yi······!!!”
The Eevee in his arms suddenly turned her head and unleashed an unhesitating ‘Aqua Jet’ at his face.
?????
After enduring the ‘waves’ torment in the deep water area, Eevee finally exploded in silence, perfectly understanding the nature of water fluctuations and Water Attribute power.
After choking water countless times, the Water Type energy in her body finally reached saturation. She could clearly feel the surge of surrounding Water Type power.
At this moment, driven purely by instinct, she smoothly landed a beautiful attack on Li Wei!
Breaking free from Li Wei’s hands, Eevee jumped to the ground.
Turning to look at Li Wei who yelped in surprise from the sudden attack, Eevee’s mouth corners slightly hooked up. After a cold snort, she violently kicked away the nearby yellow swimming ring and plunged headfirst into the pool, joining Riolu’s volleyball team.
Relieving!
Refreshing!
Having avenged the chief culprit A, Eevee re-entering the pool glowed with blue light all over her body. She prepared to inflict crippling blows on chief culprits B and C.
