Chapter 292: Attack
“Is that okay?” Lu Li looked at Gimmighoul expectantly.
Gimmighoul nodded affirmatively: “Of course, no problem.”
“Wait a moment, we haven’t started sowing yet.” After saying that, Lu Li said to Milotic nearby: “Let’s have a Spirit Rain Technique.”
Milotic nearby nodded, and soon the sky was covered with dark clouds, then a light drizzle began to fall.
The rain wasn’t heavy, but very light, like spring rain that moistens things silently.
“This Rain Dance…”
Gimmighoul looked somewhat surprised at the amazingly charming Milotic, then thought: “It seems all my companions have amazing skills.”
Normally, divine beasts with divine duties look down equally on all humans and Pokémon, but Gimmighoul was an exception.
With a special rain falling, the originally scorching land was also washed clean, and the temperature in the soil became moderate.
Next was sowing, and Lu Li entrusted this task to Starry Sprite.
As a Psychic Attribute Hatenna is still small now, only Elite Stage Starry Sprite can precisely plant each seed in the right place.
“I’ll leave the rest to you.” Lu Li said to Starry Sprite standing on his shoulder.
Starry Sprite didn’t reply, but its eyes flickered with purple radiance.
One seed after another, under the effect of Psychic, continuously fell into the soil like rain, with very standard spacing between each seed.
“This Special Eevee has the aura of Ho-Oh, and Psychic and Dark Attributes, a rare dual-attribute Eevee.” Gimmighoul thought in surprise.
At the same time, it was even more convinced of one thing, that Lu Li’s companions were all quite special, almost all with divine qualifications.
Finally, Onix finished with one Ploughing.
“Leave the rest to me.” Gimmighoul said proactively.
Knowing what Gimmighoul was going to do next, Lu Li excitedly patted Tropius’s leg and softly reminded: “Tropius, watch and learn carefully next.”
The same Special Growth skill, Lu Li believed that Gimmighoul, who had mastered a divine duty, could definitely give Tropius a significant gain.
Green radiance enveloped the land, full of vibrant life in this radiance, with all things competing to grow, and also carrying profound Power of Rules.
Tropius looked puzzled at the radiance before it.
This was indeed Growth, but not the Growth it had imagined.
Wanting to test Tropius, Lu Li asked: “Did you see anything?”
Tropius shook its head first, then hesitated and nodded.
“Hot~”
（Understood a bit, but not fully.）
“That’s already very good.”
Lu Li smiled and encouraged. In fact, he hadn’t fully understood it either.
The Special Growth used by Gimmighoul was similar to the Growth version of Growth, but with an added Power of Rules, a profound Power of Rules.
In fact, in the Cultivation World, cultivation rarely applies Power of Rules, mostly using Power of Law.
The green radiance dissipated, and the originally bare land was instantly covered with yellow-green seedlings, which continued to grow.
In just a few breaths, those seedlings grew into towering big trees, even reaching the degree of flowering.
“Hot~”
（So amazing!）
Tropius exclaimed in both envy and surprise.
Whether it or Lu Li, their Special Growth couldn’t instantly mature seedlings to towering big trees.
“Did you gain anything?” Lu Li asked expectantly.
“Hot~”
（A little bit.）
Tropius nodded, with a thoughtful expression.
“Good to have gains.” Lu Li nodded satisfiedly.
“By the way, this is for you.”
After finishing all this and still having energy left, Gimmighoul threw a small green light cluster into Tropius’s body.
Lu Li, who had Immortal Sight Eye open, saw the true nature of that small light cluster at a glance.
It was an energy cluster composed of pure Law of Life and Grass System Law, not as good as Law Crystal, but better than most Pokémon Secret Treasures.
Tropius was only one step away from breaking through to Gym Level, and what it lacked was just energy accumulation.
With the addition of this green small light cluster, Tropius’s breakthrough happened naturally, rightfully crossing to Gym Level.
Tropius’s breakthrough wasn’t like Milotic’s, prepared in advance, nor as noisy as Charmander’s.
Tropius’s breakthrough was just ordinary, as simple and plain as drinking water.
Seeing Tropius break through so simply, Lu Li sincerely congratulated: “Congratulations, Tropius!”
“Hot~”
（Mainly thanks to Lord Gimmighoul.）
“You’re the polite one.” Lu Li praised satisfiedly, and while saying this, Lu Li glanced at Charizard with the corner of his eye.
He knew who he was implying, no need to name it.
Charizard, seeing this, unhappily snorted hot air from its nose, then fawningly thanked Gimmighoul: “Thank you, Lord Gimmighoul.”
Gimmighoul just chuckled lightly, as if not taking it to heart.
In fact, that was the case; it helped Charizard and Tropius mainly because of the trainer Lu Li, not these two Pokémon.
As for the thanks from the two Pokémon? Gimmighoul didn’t take it to heart.
With the help of the “little wife,” Lu Li officially became a Gym Level Trainer, and a veteran Gym Level Trainer with three Gym Level Pokémon.
After accepting the thanks from the two Pokémon, the straightforward Gimmighoul said: “Alright, I should go back; I still have things to do at the World Tree.”
Lu Li nodded and didn’t try to keep Gimmighoul.
“If there’s any place you need my help, be sure to tell me; I might be a bit more useful than you imagine.” Lu Li made a finger galaxy gesture.
Gimmighoul smiled and nodded, then slowly disappeared before Lu Li.
After Gimmighoul left, Lu Li finally couldn’t wait and laughed wildly.
Becoming a Gym Level Trainer in less than half a year as a trainer, at this moment Lu Li just wanted to shout: “Who else?”
“Tropius, see? This is the empire I built for you.” Excited Lu Li pulled Tropius, pointing to the orchard ahead.
“Hot~”
Tropius also excitedly called out.
After the excitement, as emotions calmed, Lu Li rode Tropius to inspect the orchard.
Finding no abnormalities in the orchard, he then took all the Pokémon and left the Secret Realm.
Just back to the Real World, Lu Li smelled a burnt scent.
The ominous feeling in his heart growing stronger, Lu Li crushed it and quickly walked out of the Secret Realm tunnel.
Back in the Real World, what Lu Li saw was ruins.
The original luxurious villa was left with only a few charred black cement blocks, and even the nearby orchard suffered significant damage.
The only fortunate thing was that the distant orchard and garden weren’t completely destroyed; the orchard just had a surrounding wall collapsed.
“What happened?” Lu Li thought with an extremely ugly facial expression.
From the scene, it was certain that he had been raided at home.
After scanning the surroundings with Spiritual Sense, Lu Li found Wei buried in cement blocks in the northwest corner of the ruins.
At this moment, Wei was barely breathing, protected under Kubfu, with Charmander nearby anxiously jumping around.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li quickly had Starry Sprite Teleport him over.
Lu Li asked in panic: “Charmander, what happened?”
“Fire~”
Little Charmander gesticulated animatedly, extremely anxious.
With Spirit Speech Technique activated, Lu Li finally figured out the cause and effect.
Two groups attacked the manor together; the opponents were very strong, with four Gym Level Trainers alone.
Fortunately, Espeon was always outside, so it discovered the group first.
Though not caught off guard, two fists can’t beat four hands.
After the opponents sneaked attacked the villa, they unexpectedly found Bao Bao.
The result was self-evident; that group caught Bao Bao and left, and Ai Ke was also missing in the battle.
Fortunately, that group’s target was clear, probably coming for him, but since the main target wasn’t there, they unexpectedly found Bao Bao.
That group took Bao Bao and left, and Yao Yifei chased after.
“Starry Sprite, go find Wobbuffet here; it should be in the forest area, have it hurry back to treat Wei after finding him.”
After saying that, Lu Li released Tropius.
“Do you know which direction they ran?” Lu Li asked calmly.
Little Charmander, eyes flashing with hatred and anger, pointed toward deep within the Qingyun Mountain Range.
“They ran deep within the Qingyun Mountain Range? To evade the Alliance’s pursuit, huh.” Lu Li thought with furrowed brows.
That group of invaders didn’t dare run to the city, definitely worrying about being discovered by the Alliance, so they chose to retreat to the Qingyun Mountain Range.
“Tropius, let’s chase them!” Lu Li urged.
Knowing the urgency, Tropius flapped its wings and flew forcefully deep within the Qingyun Mountain Range.
On Tropius’s back, Lu Li scanned the surroundings with Spiritual Sense while calculating the possible escape directions of the opponents.
Lu Li quickly determined the approximate location of that group.
Though there was a Gym Level Late Stage Ghost-type Pokémon desperately covering their tracks, Lu Li still calculated some clues.
After flying about ten minutes, Lu Li finally caught up with Yao Yifei.
From far away, Lu Li saw Meteor Storm descending from the sky.
Having seen this scene before, Lu Li recognized at a glance that it was Yao Yifei’s Meteor Storm.
“Tropius, let’s hurry over.” Lu Li said, placing his right hand gently on Tropius’s back.
With Spiritual Energy input, Tropius’s aura continuously rose.
Gym Mid-stage, Gym Late Stage, Early Heavenly King!
Tropius, whose strength instantly surged to Heavenly King Level, flapped its wings, creating a sonic boom behind.
After doing all this, Lu Li released Charizard.
Jumping from Tropius’s back to Charizard’s back, Lu Li said in a low voice: “Charizard! This is a revenge, and it will be a slaughter!”
Clearly feeling the burning angry flames in the trainer’s heart, Charizard nodded heavily.
At this moment, Charizard had no tsundere or rebellion, only unprecedented seriousness.
“We’ll end this quickly; I didn’t sense Bao Bao among that group.” After saying that, Lu Li continued pouring Spiritual Energy into Charizard’s body.
Heavenly King Level aura rose again.
Two Heavenly King Level Pokémon rushed to the battlefield in two breaths.
Charizard, deeply remembering Lu Li’s orders, opened with a big move.
Charizard, whole body burning with golden-red flames, rushed like a rocket toward a Gym Level Late Stage Sceptile.
“Boom!”
Completely unprepared for the Heavenly King Level sneak attack, Sceptile was instantly smashed into the ground, followed by high-temperature flames that directly burned it to ashes.
The sudden change startled both sides.
Yao Yifei recognized at a glance who the sneak-attacking Charizard was.
“This is Charmander?” Yao Yifei looked incredulously at Charizard.
A day ago Charmander was Veteran Late Stage, and in just half a day, it evolved into Charizard? And its strength climbed to Heavenly King Level.
A trainer with “101” on his cloak cursed lowly: “Damn! Is it an Alliance Heavenly King who caught up?”
Jumping from the air to the ground, Lu Li asked with concern: “Sister Yao, are you okay?”
Yao Yifei shook her head: “I’m fine, but Bao Bao was caught by them.”
“This group’s target should be me?” Lu Li asked.
Yao Yifei nodded; that group was indeed coming for Lu Li, but after not finding him, they discovered Bao Bao and took her.
A 13-year-old Elite Level Psychic, any power would be tempted.
Seeing Lu Li, 101’s expression lit up with joy, then he said into the walkie-talkie: “Boss, we found the target.”
“That’s an unexpected joy of unexpected joys! Hurry and catch him.”
An excited voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Hearing this, Lu Li coldly ordered: “Charizard! Flame Vortex world, don’t let a single one escape.”
Charizard snorted hot breath from its nostrils, and Flame Vortex activated instantly.
Unlike single-target Flame Vortex, this time Charizard’s Flame Vortex had a large area, enveloping almost everyone in it.
“Boss, the enemy has a Heavenly King Level Charizard, we seem to…”
Before 101 finished, his walkie-talkie melted into molten iron.
The trainer next to 101 paled upon seeing this.
He was a Grass Attribute Trainer, and in this flame-enveloped place, his combat power would at least be fractured.
“102, find a way to break out later.” 101 said helplessly.
Lu Li opened his mouth but hesitated; he wanted to say Tropius was still outside.
But how could Charizard let them leave.
The Flame Vortex barrier was just the beginning, not the final move.
“Time to try the newly learned skill.”
Relying on feeling, the skill Charizard released.
Inferno Abyss!
