Chapter 67: Dragon And Turtle
“There’s nothing I can do about this thing, my commanding skill in battles can only be accumulated through constant battling and gaining experience,” Lu Li said with a wry smile.
“Actually, it’s not that there are no shortcuts. The best way to improve your battling level is to plunder the battle memories of other trainers.”
“But the drawbacks are also obvious: you are easily influenced by the battle style of the memory’s owner, and the negative effects of this cramming method are quite significant.”
“There are plenty of smart people in the Pokémon World, and not a few who want to take shortcuts in this regard, but they all paid a heavy price in the end.”
“The vast majority of trainers who enhance their battling level by plundering memories eventually find their battling level stagnated at the Elite Level, because the memories of higher-level trainers cannot be plundered at will.”
“Plundering memories!!!”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Li’s mind.
“The Alliance doesn’t need support roles, is that why?”
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn’t help but ask, “Lili, I remember that powerful Psychic Type Pokémon can plunder others’ memories, right?”
Yu Lili, who was still lost in fantasy, was startled, clearly not expecting Lu Li to suddenly ask this question.
Yu Lili, thinking Lu Li was worried about his own memories being plundered, comforted him, “You don’t need to worry about that. To precisely plunder someone’s memory, it at least requires a Heavenly King Level Psychic Type Pokémon, and even then, even Heavenly King Level Pokémon cannot precisely plunder a person’s memory.”
“It can actually be done?”
Lu Li’s pupils contracted upon hearing this. Lu Li, who carried a secret, desired to become stronger even more.
Yu Lili comforted him again, “You don’t need to worry. As long as your willpower is strong enough, not even a Divine Beast can take your memories.”
“Willpower?”
Lu Li then breathed a sigh of relief. His spiritual power was now at least at the Veteran Level. If it was that difficult for Pokémon to plunder an ordinary person’s memory, it would be even more difficult to plunder his.
Lu Li, whose hands hadn’t stopped, quickly finished treating Yu Lili’s injuries.
Lu Li asked, “Do you want to proceed to the next stage of training?”
“Are there more training sessions?” Yu Lili also asked curiously.
Lu Li flashed a devilish smile and asked, “Have you ever played Battle Royale?”
Yu Lili: “???”
“Can your Squirtle control the power of Water Cannon?” Lu Li asked.
Hearing this, Yu Lili instantly understood what the so-called Battle Royale meant.
“How about it? This training is quite good. Firstly, it can train our ability to dodge Pokémon skills; secondly, it can train Squirtle’s hit rate for its skills; and finally, it can also train my Charmander’s resistance to Water Type attacks.”
The Charmander, which was still lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and looked at Lu Li with a look of terror.
“Trainer, are you a devil?”
“I’m Charmander! A Charmander that’s twice as weak to Water!”
Charmander was about to collapse. It had looked forward to training before, but this wasn’t the kind of training it had expected.
Yu Lili looked at Lu Li with the same expression as Charmander. At this moment, Yu Lili seemed to understand where Lu Li’s outrageous reaction speed came from.
“You don’t often play like this with Tropius, do you?” Yu Lili asked.
Lu Li shook his head.
When he played this kind of game with Tropius, it was usually the other way around. After all, with his Veteran Level strength, Tropius’s skills couldn’t hit him.
Lu Li smilingly refused, “No refusing! Don’t you want to get stronger quickly?”
“Fire?”
（ “How about you train my skill accuracy? And let this turtle dodge instead?” ）
The clever Charmander quickly thought of a solution.
“No, your flame conjuring talent is already excellent. The hit rate of Fire Type skills doesn’t need further training,” Lu Li refused Charmander’s suggestion without even thinking.
With Charmander’s control over Fire Type, even a Spark could automatically pursue an enemy, let alone skills like Flamethrower.
Charmander’s skills could truly bend.
Protests were invalid, and having its attempt to slack off exposed, Charmander could only nod dejectedly.
“Rou~”
（ “Listen up, little turtle. Remember to take care of your trainer. My trainer and I don’t need your help.” ）
“Bang~”
A “chestnut” landed on Charmander’s head. Lu Li reprimanded with a dark expression, “Don’t threaten Squirtle. Squirtle is helping you, and this won’t hurt more than a tennis ball strike.”
The cunning Squirtle glanced provocatively at Charmander.
“Squirtle~”
（ “Don’t worry, little bro, I’ll take good care of you.” ）
“Rou~”
（ “Thirty years east, thirty years west! Don’t bully a young man! Don’t bully type advantage!” You just wait! ）
“Squirtle~”
（ “I know that. In the end, it’s the Pokémon that die first, right?” ）
Lu Li: “…”
Ignoring the two Pokémon bickering, Lu Li shifted his gaze to Yu Lili.
“I have no problem. Squirtle’s control over energy is quite precise,” Yu Lili didn’t object, instead looking eager to try.
Seeing this, Lu Li knew that Yu Lili, like Jin Huang and Lian Sheyi, was a natural trainer.
The Battle Royale training officially began.
The training only lasted for ten minutes.
The reason the training ended was that Squirtle ran out of water.
After the training ended, Lu Li looked at the drenched Yu Lili and commented, “Your Squirtle’s stamina isn’t good.”
As the saying goes, what’s partially visible is most alluring. Yu Lili was exactly in that state at the moment.
Both of them were only wearing thin T-shirts and jeans. After their clothes got wet, they clung to their bodies, making them almost transparent.
Yu Lili didn’t notice her unusual state and retorted with a matter-of-fact tone, “Turtle’s strength is only at the Normal Early Stage. Being able to sustain 10 minutes of energy output is already very impressive.”
Hearing this, Lu Li finally reacted.
His own Pokémon were all enhanced with medicine, so their stamina was naturally stronger than others’. Moreover, Yu Lili’s “cheat” for Squirtle was focused on speed, so other aspects were not much different from ordinary Normal Level Pokémon.
Feeling as if she had been drained completely dry, Squirtle cast a resentful glance at Lu Li.
What do you mean Turtle’s stamina isn’t good? See how your Charmander fares!
At this moment, Charmander was lying on the ground, completely lifeless. As a Pokémon that hated water, being sprayed with water by Squirtle for ten minutes had completely shattered its state of mind.
“Rou~”
（ “Next time, let me do it. I’m more durable than this turtle.” ）
“No, fire is too dangerous,” Lu Li smilingly rejected Charmander’s revenge plan.
“Faintly visible and burnt to a crisp” – any normal person would know which to choose.
Moreover, Yu Lili might be his future wife, so it’s best not to do things that could damage her skin.
Charmander pouted unhappily but didn’t retort.
After all, Lu Li had a point; fire was much more dangerous than water.
“Wrong!” Charmander shivered and immediately got up from the ground.
Fire is more dangerous than water = Fire Type is stronger than Water Type = I am stronger than Squirtle.
“Die, turtle, just you wait. When I reach the Normal Stage, I’ll show you what fire is!” Charmander glared fiercely at Squirtle.
During the training just now, this turtle had given it plenty of “special treatment.”
