Chapter 178 Hagiven, you bastard!
After breakfast, Li Shuwen decided to go to Cuiyun Mountain.
He's going to capture Gengar!
After our first two encounters, and especially now that I've developed this charm...
Li Shuwen believed he could get Gengar to agree to become his Pokémon.
As for Electabuzz, Li Shuwen also planned to ask about it.
Although Li Shuwen really wanted Electabuzz to be able to farm in the mountains without worry.
But as a trainer, it's best to treat everyone equally.
Electabuzz and Gengar are acquainted, so it's not good to only catch one and not the other.
When Li Shuwen arrived at Cuiyun Mountain, he went to Gengar's pool to find Gengar.
Gengar is not here.
Li Shuwen arrived at the section of the river where the water was extremely fast, and sure enough, Gengar was there.
One person organizes a racing competition and has just as much fun.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Gengar became so excited that it even forgot about the little duck.
It pounced directly at Li Shuwen.
"Gengga!"
Li Shuwen warmly caught Gengar, "Gengar, my swimming pool is very big, and I've already filled it with water."
"It's no smaller than your pond. Would you like to live with us from now on?"
Gengar excitedly nodded repeatedly in response to Li Shuwen's invitation.
Suddenly, Gengar's expression turned somewhat panicked.
"Gengga!"
His little duck!
It quickly flew back to the river and scooped up all eight rubber ducks.
Gengar finally breathed a sigh of relief and flew back to Li Shuwen's side.
Standing perfectly upright in the air, "Gengga!"
He was ready; Li Shuwen could now take out the Poké Ball.
Li Shuwen solemnly took out the red and white balls and pressed them onto Gengar's belly.
"Gengar, I will raise you to be the most, most, most evil Gengar in the world!"
(Gengar, I will make you the happiest Gengar in the world!)
The red and white ball emitted a red light, absorbing Gengar into the Poké Ball.
With a thud, Gengar was easily captured by Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen released Gengar, which excitedly flew around him a few times.
Why does Li Shuwen look so much better than last time?
That vigorous vitality, that multicolored flame of life, was so dazzling in Gengar's eyes.
Only someone like this qualifies to become the world's most evil Gengar trainer!
As we took Gengar up the mountain, Electabuzz was carrying two buckets of water.
He also raised his arms horizontally, following Li Shuwen's instructions, to strengthen his arms.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen and Gengar, Electabuzz also showed great enthusiasm.
Take out the tree fruit wrapped in leaves and push it in front of Li Shuwen and Gengar.
Li Shuwen casually picked up a tree fruit and took a bite.
"It's sweet. Electabuzz, your skills are really great."
Gengar tossed a berry into its mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
He picked up another tree fruit, tossed it into the air, and caught it with his mouth wide open.
Chew, chew, chew...
Li Shuwen held the tree fruit and said, "Actually, I came here this time because I'm going on an adventure, so I wanted to ask you something."
"Would you like to join my team? You're very talented, have a powerful presence, and a strong physique—a perfect fit for my style."
"I'm confident I can train you into a top-tier Electabuzz!"
"Of course, if you want to stay in the mountains and train to become stronger while managing the trees and fruit trees after joining my team..."
"I can help you too!"
Electabuzz nodded in agreement, but he wanted to fight Combusken.
He'll join as long as the strong chicken can beat him!
Li Shuwen nodded and went to the open space to release the strong chicken.
Electabuzz struck first, its fist enveloped in intense lightning.
"Flame Blast!"
Compared to last time, Mighty Chicken's flamethrower is now faster and more accurate.
It directly pushed Electabuzz away.
Under the strict guidance of the Swiftfrog, Mighty Chicken's Flamethrower has made significant progress.
When Merach was still Torchic, Torchic felt that Poliwrath was so gentle.
When he evolved into Power Chicken, Poliwrath Teacher changed completely!
Became stricter and set higher standards.
The strong chicken, training alongside the fast-swimming frog, endured a great deal of hardship.
But there has been great progress!
Unlike Electabuzz, which levels up on its own, Combusken receives guidance in every aspect.
Moreover, there are professional sparring partners.
Mighty Chicken had been hit by Maestro's Thunder Fist countless times.
This is how the speed at which the jet flame is used is honed.
"Flame Fist!"
Electabuzz was knocked back, and Combusken charged forward instead.
He punched the Electabuzz in the chest.
Electabuzz raised its arm to block, but the powerful force of Combusken's fist still managed to knock its arm away and send the punch flying.
It flew straight out.
Li Shuwen threw out a Poké Ball, and Electabuzz didn't struggle.
Through their recent exchange, Electabuzz has realized the gap between itself and Combusken.
They clearly co-evolved.
As a result, the strong chicken improved faster than him.
Electabuzz doesn't think his talent is any worse than Strongchicken's.
The only explanation is that the Mighty Chicken received more professional guidance.
Besides growing berries, Electabuzz enjoys increasing the electricity in its body and the strength of its arms.
Since there is such a place that can make him stronger.
Electabuzz was naturally happy to join!
Li Shuwen released the Electabuzz. "Are you coming back with me, or staying here to take care of the Berries?"
Electabuzz was in a dilemma. He looked at Li Shuwen and asked if there was a way to not give up either option.
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "My disciple, Akai, is from a nearby village. I let him go back to the village once a week, and you can go up the mountain to take care of the trees and fruit."
"The rest of the time, you can receive training from the Gym Pokémon."
Electabuzz's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea!"
……
The situation in the Padia Crater is complicated, and Li Shuwen cannot carry all of his Pokémon with him like he does now.
Considering logistical pressures, it's best to carry six as usual.
Kommo-o, Primeape, Gallade, Goodra, Gengar, Toxicroak.
These are the six Pokémon that Li Shuwen plans to bring on this adventure.
In addition to strength, the combination of multiple attributes makes it better able to cope with various unexpected situations.
The remaining Pokémon can stay at the gym and train in peace.
Knowing that this adventure is important to Li Shuwen, Lung Mist Old Man also returned to the dojo and promised to seriously receive the challenger.
Ah Kai is meticulous and would never give Lung Fog's father a chance to cheat or slack off.
With Lucario in tow, Li Shuwen boarded the car bound for the Yamanashi Research Institute.
Upon arriving at the Yamanashi Research Institute, the doctor immediately gave Li Shuwen a white lab coat.
They brought Li Shuwen to the portable device, along with an oversized backpack.
"This space backpack can hold these instruments and reduce the load, so it won't be a burden for you."
"Cynthia will arrive tomorrow. I've bought you plane tickets to the Padia region for the same day. Yuzo will take you to the City of Celebration to catch your flight."
Li Shuwen nodded, put the instrument in his backpack, and tried it out.
"It's really good."
After packing in his outdoor gear, there was still quite a bit of space left in his backpack.
Dr. Yamanashi said, "You can use the remaining space to make purchases in the Parthian region, depending on the local conditions."
"Don't worry, all expenses will be covered by the Yamanashi Research Institute!"
……
The next day, as soon as Cynthia entered the Yamanashi Research Institute, she said, "Doctor, I don't think it's necessary to arrange for an assistant researcher to come with me."
"I am fully confident that I can complete this mission alone!"
Dr. Yamanashi smiled slightly, "That won't do. The Padia Crater is extremely dangerous. If I send you there alone, Dr. Mustard will kill me."
"And this assistant researcher will definitely not hold you back."
Li Shuwen came out and waved to Cynthia.
"Cynthia, are you surprised? Unexpected, aren't you?"
Cynthia's eyes widened. "It's you?!"
How could the assistant researcher be Shuwen!
There's another thing: how come this guy has become so much more handsome in just a short time?
