Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 508 Problem Children

Cynthia rode on the back of Milton's bike, and Li Shuwen took one last ride through the flowerbeds at dusk.

The evening breeze ruffled her golden hair, making Cynthia look radiant and beautiful.

Cynthia reached out her hand, her eyes filled with reluctance, carefully feeling the firm muscle lines of Li Shuwen's back and his well-defined eight-pack abs.

"I don't know when we'll meet again," she said softly, a hint of lingering affection in her voice.

Li Shuwen smiled, without turning around, and steadily drove the Milton. "As your knight, I will be by your side the moment you need me."

Cynthia smiled brightly, "You should focus on preparing for the final battle at the Summit of the Crown!"

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Cynthia, do you think Gallade and I have a chance to earn the title of Great Swordsman?"

Cynthia thought for a moment, "Gallade has the best chance. Seraph is a bit unorthodox. Although it is relatively stronger, its chances are much smaller."

"As for Onion Soldiers, his characteristics don't really fit the standard of a swordsman, but we'll let Onion Soldiers participate in the final battle at the top of the crown."

"It will definitely be of great help to the future growth of Congee Player."

Li Shuwen nodded in agreement. In the Pokémon world, the final battle at the top of the crown is not about the swords in the hands of the great swordsmen, but about the swords in their hearts!

From this perspective, Stuart's sword is actually the worst of the three Pokémon.

The Great Sword Demon's sword only possesses power, but lacks sword heart, sword intent, and sword soul.

Cynthia even had Garchomp demonstrate its unique swordsmanship to Li Shuwen.

This will help Li Shuwen understand the correct direction for the decisive battle at the top of the Heavenly Crown.

When Cynthia left, Li Shuwen rode a Milerton to see her off.

As for Cattleya, she had already asked Butler Shilan to come and pick her up in a spaceship.

Gadriya has eaten too much dog food and needs to stay away from Li Shuwen and Cynthia to digest it.

After reluctantly bidding farewell to Cynthia, Li Shuwen returned to the Veiled Dojo, still feeling a void in his heart.

Ah Kai rushed over, "Master, when Iron Claw Lobster and Greatsword Demon were learning, they suddenly learned a new skill we didn't recognize! Can you help me take a look?"

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow, his worries instantly dispelled by Akai's youthful appearance, and a surge of curiosity welled up in his heart, "Let me see."

Both being Water/Dark type and possessing similar weapons, Crawdeck's learning from Greatsword Demon is indeed more efficient.

They all learned new skills that Li Fei, the runner-up of the competition, didn't recognize.

Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Li Fei said, "It's similar to water jets and water bursts, but it's more powerful and can cause some damage to the user."

Akai nodded. "I have indeed been teaching Iron Claw Lobster how to break water flow recently, but the results have not been very satisfactory."

Li Shuwen looked at the Iron Claw Lobster and said, "Iron Claw Lobster, use it one more time."

The iron-clawed lobster nodded, its body covered in a layer of azure water, and suddenly shot into the sky.

Li Shuwen blinked. "This skill... seems to be a Wave Impact!"

According to Li Shuwen's recollection, under normal circumstances, it seems that the Iron Claw Lobster should be impossible to learn.

Even the Greatsword Demon of the Jadeite couldn't use the Wave Rush, so how could the Iron Claw Lobster master the Wave Rush under the Greatsword Demon's guidance?

Li Shuwen stroked his chin. "Could it be that the Dragon God's power that the Iron Claw Lobster obtained during the Dragon Gate Tournament is only now being revealed?"

The Wave Impact is powerful, and although it has a backlash effect, the super-fast speed generated by its powerful force is enough to compensate for this.

When the Iron Claw Lobster's claw hammer misses its target, it can use its wave attack to strike.

Li Shuwen felt that this was definitely not due to the Midas Touch.

Ah Kai and Iron Claw Lobster have gotten to where they are today entirely through their own hard work.

After all, his master couldn't give Akai any extra points.

Night has fallen, and today is the perfect time to simulate Pokémon.

The random result is: Dragon attribute!

Having drawn a Dragon-type Pokémon again, Li Shuwen preferred to continue simulating Garchomp rather than starting a new Pokémon simulation.

Li Shuwen was very concerned about the future development of that peculiar fairy island.

Moreover, Li Shuwen wanted to try out the moves that Cynthia had Garchomp demonstrate during the day.

There's nothing more suitable than experiencing it as Garchomp.

Li Shuwen's vision went black again, and when he woke up, he was faced with the face of a black double-axe dragon.

Li Shuwen was stunned. This simulation was directly connected to the last one?

Li Shuwen asked the question he hadn't had a chance to ask last time, "Are you Axew's father, the Judgment Dragon who fought Gyarados and sank into the sea?"

"There are no dead Judgment Dragons here, only rebels, dragons!" The jet-black Haxorus stared intently at Garchomp. "Tell me, are you willing to fight for true freedom?"

Garchomp did not hesitate for a moment. "The false peace on this island must end. Dragons should have the right to freely choose their way of life."

"Very good." Long nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Come with me, I'll show you the glimmer of hope in the resistance."

Garchomp blinked. "Does the Rebels still have Glimmer Potions?"

Follow the Haxorus through a hidden tunnel, and suddenly the view opens up before you.

This is a huge underground cavern, where scattered firelight illuminates dozens of pairs of eyes flickering in the darkness.

Here you'll find a battered Charizard, a sharp-eyed Flygon, and a Gyarados with clear, calm eyes.

True Dragon-type Pokémon are rare; Garchomp has even been seen with Rhydon, Lapras, and Aggron.

Most of the Pokémon present were thinner than normal.

But his eyes were like a drawn blade, completely different from the hedonistic dragons on the island.

Double-Axe Dragon explained, "The number of the resistance forces is indeed insignificant compared to the fairy army on Fairy Island."

"But this glimmer of light will eventually rise from the sea and illuminate the whole world!"

Garchomp nodded. "So what are the specific strategies the resistance has in place?"

Haxorus said, "I will do my best to rescue the Pokémon that were executed by the Great Master. They were all executed because they threatened the normal operation of Fairy Island."

"This means that every Pokémon that was executed possessed talent and power. As long as everyone works together, we can definitely overthrow the Great Master!"

Garchomp's eyes widened. "That's it?"

The Haxorus, of course, thought, "Isn't that enough?"

Garchomp immediately asked, "So what do you all usually eat and drink? You can't possibly live in a cave forever, can you?"

"How can everyone transform their potential into strength in such a small space?"

The dragon pointed to a map roughly drawn with ore fragments. "This is a map of Fairy Island. We will launch a surprise attack on the fruit-producing areas based on when the fruit ripens."

"This ensures everyone's food supply and also improves their combat capabilities, although the process may be somewhat dangerous."

Garchomp couldn't help but shake its head. "Dragon, you are not a qualified leader."

A hot-tempered Charizard breathed fire and demanded, "What right do you, a Garchomp, have to criticize a Haxorus?!"

Haxorus blocked Charizard's path, saying, "We rebels don't play those fairy tricks. If Garchomp makes sense, we should listen to it."

"Galactus, what do you think?"

After a moment's thought, Li Shuwen asked, "Can we grow our own fruit trees? Even if the yield is lower, at least we can get rid of our complete dependence on raiding Fairy Island."

I can't guarantee everyone will become stronger, but at least I can ensure everyone won't go hungry.

Double-Haxed Dragon shook its head. "Little Orchid Island is very small, and the area suitable for planting trees and fruit trees is even smaller. Moreover, we are hiding underground to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the fairies."

Garchomp continued, "If Orchid Island isn't an option, what about places further afield?"

Inspired by Garchomp's words, Lapras said, "I know a place, but it's a bit far. It takes me three days to swim there from Orchid Island."

"But the island is quite large. Although it's rather barren, if we take steps to renovate it, we should be able to grow some fruit trees, right?"

The Double-Axe Dragon asked, "Even if the fruit is grown over such a long distance, how will we transport it back for everyone to eat?"

Garchomp continued, "So, we need more people to grow the berries first, and then collect the unhatched Pokémon eggs on Fairy Island."

Gyarados coldly replied, "Collecting Pokémon eggs is indeed a good idea, but what if you collect an egg containing a Fairy-type Pokémon?"

Garchomp looked at Haxorus, "The Rebels are different from the Great Master. I think these Fairy-type Pokémon that haven't been born yet should be treated the same as Dragon-type Pokémon."

The Charizard questioned, "What if we finally manage to train them successfully, only to have them turned against us by the Great Master?"

Garchomp stared intently at Charizard. "Can you guarantee that Dragon-type Pokémon won't be turned by Mr. Big?"

Haxorus stepped forward, "I support Garchomp's plan! This is what our resistance should be doing."

"Although we resisted before, we always lacked the right plan and direction. Now I see hope for success!"

"Garuda, you're good at farming, so I'll leave this plan to you. Choose the right Pokémon to carry it out together, and I'll bring the rest of the Pokémon."

"Go and carry out another task: seize the unhatched elf egg!"

Garchomp quickly stopped Haxorus, "No, we don't have enough food. Do you want your hatched Pokémon to starve?"

The two-axe war dragon was immediately embarrassed.

Without delay, Li Shuwen directly selected Pokémon that might be useful for clearing the land, along with the seeds that everyone usually spat out when eating berries.

Heading towards the deserted island mentioned by the dragon.

This land clearing took half a year.

The first batch of fruit has finally been grown. Although the fruit is small and shriveled, it represents hope for the future.

Even Charizard apologized to Li Shuwen upon seeing the vast expanse of tree fruit.

"Garuda, I was wrong, you were right."

Li Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief; he had suffered a lot in the past six months.

He immediately stopped the simulation and went outside to get some fresh air.

The next morning, enjoying sweet honey milk and bread, Li Shuwen felt as if she had been reborn.

Then, Li Shuwen received a call from an unknown number.

After the call connected, the voice of Uncle Magikarp came through the phone, "Master of the Book Library, I'm entrusting my son to your care."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Since I promised you, I will definitely teach you with all my heart."

Uncle Magikarp was overjoyed and said, "Being able to become the apprentice of the Bookkeeper is a great honor for our family."

"Librarian, how has my son been behaving these past few days?"

Li Shuwen was taken aback. "Your son? When did he arrive? I haven't seen him."

Uncle Magikarp was also stunned. "I contacted him after the Dragon Gate Tournament and told him to report to the Veilgate Gym as soon as possible. Didn't he come?"

Li Shuwen frowned slightly. "I did go out a few days ago, but I don't know if I just missed it."

"Give me his phone number, I'll call and ask him."

Li Shuwen knew that Uncle Carp King was locked up inside and it wasn't convenient for him to make a phone call.

"I'll call you when I have the results. I'll let you know in a bit. The officer will probably let you answer the phone, out of respect for me."

As soon as Li Shuwen got the phone, he called Uncle Carp King's son.

After the call connected, I heard familiar music playing from the other end.

Li Shuwen instantly knew where Uncle Carp King's son had gone.

Curtain City Game City!

Every time Li Shuwen called Li Dazhuang in the past, he could hear this familiar background music.

The game arcade in the city of Curtain City is also an option; they haven't changed the music in ten years.

"Hello, who is it? If you don't answer, I'm hanging up!"

Li Shuwen said calmly, "I am Li Shuwen."

beep!

The call was immediately disconnected.

Li Shuwen had a headache; he could tell at a glance that this guy was a problem child.

So let Magikarp worry about it.

If his son really didn't want to become an apprentice, Li Shuwen wouldn't force him.

Li Shuwen called Uncle Magikarp, who learned that his son hadn't gone to the Veil Dojo to register, but instead went to the arcade to play games.

Moreover, he even dared to hang up on Li Shuwen directly, which made Uncle Magikarp so angry that he almost slapped himself.

When it came to educating his child, Li Shuwen spoke up for him, and only then did the police officer agree to let Uncle Carp King make another phone call to his son.

I don't know how long the Magikarp guy scolded him, but around 11 o'clock, a rebellious-looking boy walked into the Veiled Gym.

Ah Kai treated him as a challenger and reached out to stop him, saying, "Challengers need to pass my test before they can challenge Master."

Ah Jin looked at Ah Kai and said, "I'm here to become your apprentice. My dad has already made the arrangements."

Ah Kai was stunned for a moment. No, brother, you're acting all high and mighty after coming here to become my apprentice.

"Come with me."

Akai brought Ajin before Li Shuwen, and Ajin immediately knelt down, "Master, I was wrong!"

As expected of Magikarp's son, his family's skills are so smooth.

He knew he was wrong, but Li Shuwen could tell from the look in the boy's eyes that he wouldn't change.

Even if he becomes an apprentice, he'll definitely sneak out to play games.

Li Shuwen said calmly, "I don't care whether you play games or not. As long as you complete your daily training plan, you can play games."

"But if you miss training more than three times, you can go home."

Ah Jin remained calm. "Don't worry, Master, I definitely won't let training be delayed... or let games delay training!"
