Chapter 435 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot
After the instruction session ended, it was immediately Li Shuwen's turn to take the stage.
Ya Xuan reminded her, "Princess Qin is a gentle person, even to the point of being somewhat weak, but deep down, she also possesses a rare resilience."
"To be honest, I think Jean is more likely to inherit the throne of Radiant City. Qiyana is too impulsive and her personality is not suitable for being a queen."
"When you play, control your strength a little, give the violin some face, and as Cynthia said, just hone it a bit."
Li Shuwen looked Ya Xuan up and down. "Master Ya Xuan, you wouldn't happen to have feelings for the eldest princess, would you?"
Ya Xuan's eyes widened. "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air! Qin and I are completely innocent!"
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "If you marry Qin and she inherits the throne, will you be required to stay in Liuhui City and handle its official duties with her?"
Ya Xuan glared at Li Shuwen, "Just focus on your match, stop thinking about this and that."
Li Shuwen smiled slightly. Ya Xuan's behavior indicated that he and Princess Qin did indeed have a somewhat ambiguous relationship.
Although they are cousins, they are actually from the same generation as their grandfather.
Moreover, it was a marriage alliance of the grandfather's generation, not a marriage alliance between Ya Xuan and Qin's direct relatives.
So, from any perspective, they are actually very well-suited to be together.
Once on the arena, the eldest princess earnestly said to Li Shuwen, "Master Shuwen, you are the true Aura Master. To be honest, I am not qualified to instruct you on how to train Lucario."
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Let's exchange ideas. There's an old saying that goes, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one I can learn from.'"
The eldest princess nodded. "Yes, Master Shuwen!"
However, is there such an old saying?
The eldest princess sent out Lucario first. This Lucario had a very calm demeanor and was clearly not an ordinary character.
The eldest princess has indeed put a lot of effort into training Lucario.
No wonder Qiyana wants to become the Aura Master. Her only chance to defeat the eldest princess and inherit the throne of Radiant City is to become the Aura Master.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to instigate a rebellion and quell the rebellion.
Judging from Qiyana's strength as Riolu, the chances of a successful rebellion are extremely slim.
Since the eldest princess was calling him "Master," Li Shuwen naturally gave the first attack to the eldest princess.
The Queen knew that Li Shuwen was a wave guide user, but she still sent the eldest princess to the stage to conduct a guidance battle with Li Shuwen.
Actually, they're training the eldest princess!
Firstly, it's about mindset; secondly, it's about letting the eldest princess see how a true waveguide master fights.
Li Shuwen then released Gallade.
Upon seeing that it wasn't Kommo-o that could use Aura Spheres, but rather Gallade, the eldest princess was clearly taken aback.
It's likely that the eldest princess has already made many contingency plans in her mind for fighting against the Kommo-o.
Now the exam paper has suddenly been changed.
The eldest princess took a deep breath and used her energy-gathering technique to concentrate her mind.
"Lucario, beat me with the bone stick!"
"Gallade, Brick Break!"
Gallade extended its elbow blade, easily blocking Lucario's bone club, and slightly shifted Lucario's body.
Li Shuwen gently waved his scepter, and the gem on the scepter immediately emitted a faint blue light.
Gallade then suddenly teleported and slashed Lucario in the waist.
Lucario screamed and flew out, rolling several times on the ground in a sorry state.
Fiona's eyes lit up. "Instead of chasing weaknesses, you create them. Impressive."
Li Shuwen waved his scepter, "Gallade, Psychic Blade!"
Two purple light blades slashed out, quickly approaching Lucario on the ground.
The eldest princess quickly shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Lucario got up from the ground as fast as he could.
Li Shuwen immediately ordered a pursuit, "Gallade, close combat!"
Gallade quickly appeared in front of Lucario.
The eldest princess quickly responded, "Lucario, use Bullet Punch to block!"
But Gallade's movements were very fast, with its elbow blades flying up and down.
Like two knives chopping meat, they swiftly slashed around Lucario's body four times.
Fiona was astonished. "The Mind's Eye Blade can attack continuously. Where did Gallade find so many openings to exploit?!"
Ya Xuan narrowed his eyes. "When you attack the first weakness, you create a second weakness. Four weaknesses are the limit that Lucario can withstand."
"This is not Gallade's attack limit."
Now it's like chopping meat with a cleaver, but Gallade can actually turn into a meat grinder and grind Lucario into minced meat.
The metaphor doesn't mean they actually minced Lucario into meat.
Gallade calmly retreated to Li Shuwen's front, while Lucario, swaying unsteadily, refused to fall.
"Luca!"
Lucario clenched his fist, and his body emitted a faint blue light.
Lucario pushed his Aura to its limit.
Their momentum surged to twice its original level.
Li Shuwen revealed an admiring look, wanting to see just how far Lucario could go.
The eldest princess was extremely excited. "Lucario, for our ideals, use Aura Sphere!"
To show respect, Li Shuwen decisively ordered, "Gallopo, use the Holy Sword!"
A dazzling white light appeared on Gallade's elbow blade.
Lucario then unleashed all of its concentrated Aura power towards Gallade.
The Wave Missile, now twice its original size, embodies the will and effort of the eldest princess and Lucario.
Gallade dashed forward in an instant, appearing behind Lucario.
All that could be seen was the wave missile, which had flown two meters away, being split in two and quickly dissipating.
The brilliance on Gallade's elbow blade remained as dazzling as ever.
Gallade sheathed its sword, and Lucario collapsed forward to the ground.
Li Shuwen nodded. "Princess, your Lucario performed exceptionally well. It's something Riolu and I should learn from."
Qiyana was devastated, "It's all over! How did my older sister trigger her Midas touch?!"
Although I only had a few days to get to know Li Shuwen.
But Qiyana already knew of Li Shuwen's reputation as a Midas touch, especially given how many trainers were praising him at today's festival.
This made Qiyana realize that Midas Touch was not as simple as it seemed.
Qiyana was only thinking about making her older sister lose popular support at such an important occasion as the festival.
They forgot that the person opposite them was Midas Touch.
This is a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot.
Qiyana asked timidly, "Master, did you already know?"
Cynthia said calmly, "The Midas Touch only works on trainers and Pokémon with enough resources. It was your sister's own hard work."
"Train hard and try to trigger the Midas Touch one day, so that you and Riolu can gain the power of Aura."
Qiyana stared at Cynthia in shock, "She can even do something like Midas Touch?!"
Cynthia rubbed Qiyana's head. "Believe, just believe."
Qiyana immediately believed it. Cynthia was the Sinnoh Champion, and she said so. Moreover, Li Shuwen had even trained Kommo-o to have Aura.
What does this tell us?
This proves that the Midas touch is definitely not a problem!
If they can't get it going, it must be because she and Riolu haven't tried hard enough!
