Chapter 161: The Utility Of The Protect Skill
The news report above was about Ideal Messenger Rayne.
Ekaterina just glanced at the tablet a few times before saying flatly, “Reserve only, not a real Ideal Messenger.”
Seeing Ekaterina’s reaction, Lu Li was even more puzzled.
From her performance back then, Ekaterina should care a lot about Ideal Messengers.
Rayne had awakened Ideal Power, while he, the fake, had only awakened Ideal Eye. Normally, Ekaterina should be shocked at this point, then find it hard to accept, and finally bitterly accept reality.
Seeing Lu Li’s somewhat strange expression, Ekaterina thought he was worrying about the newly appeared Reserve Ideal Messenger, so she comforted him, “In the past nearly millennium, people who awakened Ideal Power have appeared, but have you seen any become Ideal Messengers?”
Lu Li: “…”
“Back when you were fawning over me, you didn’t think that way.” Lu Li felt somewhat speechless inside.
Glancing at Yao Yifei beside her, Ekaterina, not wanting to chat more on this matter, deliberately asked, “This Rayne also participated in the Grand Festival. Can you beat him?”
Lu Li answered without thinking, “Fifty-fifty.”
Tropius fires five Leech Seeds, the opponent has to crack, so it’s called fifty-fifty.
As long as Rayne’s Ideal Power isn’t like the psychic powers of those two cheater girls in the anime, Lu Li isn’t afraid at all.
Ekaterina nodded in satisfaction.
An era giving birth to two Ideal Messengers at the same time means the true great contention is coming, and the day of the Ideal Dragon’s descent shouldn’t be far off.
If Lu Li could defeat Rayne, then Rayne couldn’t become an Ideal Messenger, and vice versa.
For Lu Li, she never lacked confidence.
After yawning, Ekaterina said listlessly, “Alright, I won’t chat with you more, I’m dead tired, I’m going to rest first.”
Lu Li nodded.
After Ekaterina left, Yao Yifei couldn’t wait to grab Lu Li and ask, “How did you meet her, you guy?”
“We haven’t known each other long, we met during our city center Grand Festival.” Lu Li explained.
Yao Yifei, not believing it, questioned, “Then why is your relationship so intimate?”
You’ve only known her less than a week, and you already brought her to your home?
No!
“This villa wasn’t bought for you by her, was it?” Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li in shock.
Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly at Yao Yifei.
Who are you looking down on?
If I were really eating soft rice, would I settle for just one villa? And a countryside villa at that?
“No.” Lu Li denied with a dark face.
Seeing Lu Li deny it, Yao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
A heavenly pride of the Jiuzhou Region eating Ekaterina’s soft rice would somewhat affect the Jiuzhou Region’s positive image.
Yao Yifei worried that Lu Li would be drowned in spit from online trolls later.
“Heh heh, that… Yao Museum Master, can you help with something?” Lu Li looked fawningly at the stunning beauty before him.
Seeing Lu Li’s shameless look, Yao Yifei asked warily, “What do you want?”
Lu Li said seriously, “Coach, I want to be a Coordinator!”
Yao Yifei: “???”
“Are you crazy, or did I hear wrong?” Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li in disbelief.
You, a Trainer with boundless prospects, suddenly switching to Coordinator, then what am I doing as Guardian? The higher-ups would curse me to death.
When she became a Coordinator back then, it already dissatisfied many in the Alliance, after all, her talent was really high then.
Now if she led another with even higher talent to become a Coordinator, Yao Yifei felt her strength and background might not withstand the blame.
“Cough cough, what I mean is, I want you to teach Milotic the Path of Coordination.” Lu Li said with an embarrassed smile.
Since he’d decided to let Milotic walk the path of beauty, Contest Style was definitely essential.
Don’t think making skills flashy is crooked; though Coordinators’ Pokémon skills look flashy with meh power, Milotic just needs that flashiness.
Already beautiful, and fighting beautifully too, the opponent’s Pokémon might even take skills willingly because of that beauty.
“Milotic is indeed suited for Contest Style.” Yao Yifei mused thoughtfully.
Milotic’s charm is indeed a great weapon; with Contest bonuses, it might really change people’s view of Contest Style.
Yao Yifei nodded, saying seriously, “I can teach Milotic Contest Style when I have free time, but limited to Milotic.”
Seeing Yao Yifei finally agree, Lu Li quickly guaranteed, “No problem.”
Back then, one reason he chose Yao Yifei was this.
After all, Yao Yifei’s functionality was really too strong, cost-performance way higher than other candidates.
Knowing when to stop while ahead, Lu Li didn’t mention other matters; after all, there’s plenty of time, some things can come slowly.
Remembering one more thing, Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li solemnly: “You must answer one thing truthfully.”
Lu Li nodded.
“Go ahead.”
Yao Yifei asked, “Hasn’t your Pokémon learned Protect yet?”
Lu Li nodded; though Protect is common in various competitions, without connections, it’s really hard to learn.
Yao Yifei said, “Later I’ll have Espeon teach your Pokémon.”
“For Trainers, Protect is very important, especially now that you’re being targeted, so you must learn it quickly.” Yao Yifei reminded him extremely seriously.
No one with a brain would oppose such a good thing, and Lu Li certainly wouldn’t refuse.
“No time like the present, shall we start now?” Lu Li invited eagerly.
At this time, Wei sidled up shamelessly, then asked cautiously, “Can we watch from the side?”
While speaking, Wei kept looking cautiously at Yao Yifei; if Yao Yifei showed any displeasure, she would apologize immediately.
Yao Yifei gave Wei a meaningful glance, and before Wei apologized, Yao Yifei said, “Sure, as long as you don’t disturb my teaching.”
Wei quickly thanked her, “Thank you so much, Lord.”
Just as Yao Yifei had said, Protect is very important for Trainers, so Wei took the risk to ask proactively.
Though Lu Li could teach her later, Lu Li didn’t have much free time.
Some opportunities must be seized oneself; coming from a gang noble family, Wei understood this too well.
Next was teaching time.
As a Gym Leader, Yao Yifei’s teaching ability was flawless, at least Charmander thought so.
