Chapter 32: The Generous Young Lady’s Fighting Style Is Too Underworld
How does that saying go?
Every Heavenly King Level Trainer is a Master Level Breeder with a specialty. Rounding it off, the breeding notes on the stone table are basically equivalent to a Master Breeder’s notebook right now.
If this were put up for auction, the starting bid would be at least ten million! After all, knowledge is priceless, let alone a Heavenly King’s knowledge.
“But just don’t leak this thing out, so people don’t laugh at you when they find out.” Yu Zhonggang modestly added.
Lu Li, whose mouth twitched slightly, looked at the notebook on the stone table with a complicated expression, then picked it up from the table like it was a priceless treasure.
Lu Li guaranteed: “I definitely won’t let this notebook go to waste!”
Yu Zhonggang nodded and said again: “When you have time, communicate more with my unworthy daughter. She’s not planning to follow my route, so she might need to trouble you in the future.”
Lu Li nodded. He had long known that getting this Heavenly King notes wasn’t that easy, but if it was just this, Lu Li didn’t mind.
At the same time, Lu Li glanced at Yu Lili in some surprise.
Not taking the ready-made shortcut but planning to blaze a new trail instead—this girl was more interesting than he had imagined.
In fact, such things were not uncommon in Gym Leader families. One’s preferences are hard to fathom. Yu Lili didn’t like Steel Type Pokémon, so if Yu Zhonggang forced his daughter down that path, it would only backfire.
After all, in this world, while a Pokémon’s strength is important, the most crucial thing is the bond between the Pokémon and the trainer.
If the trainer doesn’t like their own Pokémon, what bond can the Pokémon they nurture have?
This is also the main reason why intern apprentices exist.
Thinking of this, Lu Li felt a bit envious of Jin Huang.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yu Zhonggang’s successor as Heavenly King should be this lucky guy Jin Huang.
“Yu Lili, if you don’t understand anything about nurturing in the future, you can come find me. We can exchange ideas and make progress together.” Lu Li said to Yu Lili.
After making the guarantee, Lu Li curiously asked: “By the way, what attribute path are you planning to take?”
“Of course Water Type!” When Yu Lili talked about her favorite attribute, even her eyes brightened up.
Lu Li’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He had been wondering how to repay Yu Zhonggang earlier, and wasn’t this opportunity right here?
Lu Li invited: “Perfect then. We can exchange ideas more in the future. I also have a pretty good Wailmer at my home, and it’s about to evolve. You can bring your Pokémon over to observe the Wailmer’s evolution then.”
In this interesting world, Pokémon evolution isn’t just evolution. At the moment when the evolution light shines, same-attribute Pokémon can gain certain benefits.
Of course, this mainly depends on the quality and level of the evolving Pokémon. The benefit is that nearby observing same-attribute Pokémon can deepen their comprehension of their own attribute.
Simply put, it can boost skill proficiency. Though the improvement is quite minor, it’s still better than a Pokémon training its head off for a week.
Hearing the name Wailmer, Yu Lili got even more excited. The thrilled Yu Lili asked: “Wailmer! So you have a Milotic?”
Lu Li smiled and shook his head: “No, I only have a Wailmer. It’s just about to evolve.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely come then.” Yu Lili accepted Lu Li’s invitation without hesitation.
If Lu Li’s Milotic was excellent enough, she would nurture a Wailmer too.
The reason she hadn’t thought of companion nurturing a Wailmer before was purely because the uncertain risk was too high, but if Lu Li’s Milotic was excellent enough, it meant she could minimize that risk.
First, because Lu Li himself was a breeder who had already successfully nurtured an evolved Wailmer, meaning he had experience in this area, so the probability of him nurturing another Milotic would be much higher.
Secondly, if Lu Li’s Milotic was excellent enough, it meant the Milotic he nurtured wasn’t some showpiece.
You know, Milotic is a T1-level existence among Water Type Pokémon. In terms of base stat total, even the Water Type starter Pokémon can’t compare to Milotic.
No Water Type trainer can resist the temptation of Milotic.
Yu Zhonggang looked at this scene with relief. He hadn’t expected his investment to pay off so quickly.
If what Lu Li said was true, then it meant something entirely different.
What a breeder capable of nurturing a Milotic means to a Water Type trainer—any smart person knows.
The reason Lu Li made this promise was also to return the favor. After all, the benefits Yu Zhonggang gave were huge. Human relations are about give and take; to maintain connections long-term, you can’t just keep taking—you at least need mutual benefit.
After chatting with Yu Zhonggang a bit more, Lu Li was dragged by the impatient Yu Lili to the battlefield.
Standing on the other side of the match venue, Yu Lili shouted: “Come on, Lu Li! Let me see your strength!”
Lu Li, somewhat helplessly, still released the Tropius from the Poké Ball.
Looking at the Tropius on the field, Jin Huang sucked in a cold breath.
“Hiss~”
“How does it feel like just one day apart, and this Tropius has grown a whole size bigger!” Jin Huang exclaimed.
Looking at the two-meter-tall Tropius, there was no fear in Yu Lili’s eyes—only the excitement of meeting an opponent.
With a slightly flushed face, the impatient Yu Lili released Squirtle.
After Squirtle came out, Yu Lili loudly encouraged: “Turtle! Even though we’re at a type disadvantage, I believe our bond is unbeatable!”
Hearing this, Lu Li inwardly complained speechless: “This young lady knows she’s at a type disadvantage too.”
The Squirtle, double-weak to Grass, looked at Tropius full of energy, without a shred of timidity from the type disadvantage.
From this, Lu Li could tell this Squirtle had clearly undergone relevant training.
“Squirtle, we go first! Start with Fake Out.”
In a situation where her own attribute was disadvantaged, Yu Lili chose to strike first.
“Fake Out?”
Hearing this name, Lu Li was also a bit surprised.
Starting off by inheriting a skill that could last a lifetime—Yu Lili’s Squirtle not only had high talent, but even its luck was outrageously good.
This was almost enough to compete with Jin Huang, the child of fortune, in luck.
Yu Lili’s Squirtle had already entered the growth stage, and the strength gap between both sides wasn’t big. Although his side had the type advantage, Lu Li didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.
“Tropius, fly!”
As Lu Li’s command fell, Tropius had just started to take off when it got hit.
The worst part was that after being hit by Squirtle, Tropius’s eyes changed. Tropius looked at Squirtle with a hint of fear in its gaze.
“Flinch? This show of force really caught me off guard!” Lu Li remarked.
Flinch isn’t a very deadly negative status, but getting flinched means the battle sovereignty has already been seized by the opponent.
“Tropius, fly up, then watch out and dodge the enemy’s next skill.”
Lu Li ultimately chose to have Tropius utilize its aerial advantage.
“Squirtle, don’t miss the chance to beat a dog in the water!”
“Use Yawn!”
Hearing the name Yawn, Lu Li’s facial expression instantly darkened.
This girl looks so straightforward, why is her fighting style so sneaky? First Palm Surprise, then Yawn.
Is Squirtle played like this?
