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

Chapter 363 Bewilderment

Milton was very curious about the changes in Blaziken's mindset.

Since Milton was subdued by Li Shuwen and brought back to the Curtain Dojo for training, his mentality has been gradually influenced by everyone.

There are battle maniacs like the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon and the Forsaken Monkey, and determined individuals like the Poison Skull Frog and the Farfetch'd who train silently without complaining about hardship or fatigue.

There's also the Nymphalosaurus, and the friendship and family affection that Baby Dragon brings him.

Especially Baby Dragon, which made Millerton a real big brother.

This complex mix of kinship and loyalty prompted Millerton to change.

But Blaziken only got half a day of rest after his intense training.

It wasn't even a rest, yet it made Blaziken's will stronger.

Milton felt that if he could figure it out, he might even dare to fight Guleton in close combat back in the Padia Pit.

Although Milton now dares to get close and charge with lightning, he has to retreat and readjust after each hit.

Milton had neither the courage nor the ability to engage in close combat with Milton.

Therefore, Leighton's close combat ability is the result of countless fierce battles.

If Milton wants to fight Blaziken in close combat, he must undergo even more intense training than Blaziken is currently doing.

Milton found the thought of such a life terrifying.

Milton is just lacking a bit of courage.

Such long-term training requires Milton to go through it himself.

Li Shuwen's forceful coercion will only backfire.

Millerton asked Blaziken, but Blaziken didn't know how to answer.

The only option is for Millerton to ask Onion Soldier and Poison Skull Frog.

Milton first asked the Poison Skull Frog, whose answer was a desire for victory.

The once-obsessed Poison Skull Frog now trains with a thirst for victory, pushing its body to its limits every day.

Once you become obsessed, you'll miss the details.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

You think I don't want anything, but actually I want it all!

Millerton seemed to understand, but not quite. He then went to find Cong Youbing.

Cong Youbing was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then blinked calmly.

Is it difficult to stick to training?

Eating, drinking, training, sleeping—just a normal routine.

By simply increasing the amount of training each day, the changes will be quite noticeable over time.

There isn't much change in pressure during daily training.

Millerton nodded. That's a good idea.

Milton always felt that Gallade's training was more philosophical than everyone else's.

So I plan to ask Gallade for her opinion again.

Gallade extended its elbow blade and very slowly slashed out two psychic blades.

Ask Milton if he can sense the difference between these two mental blades.

Milton didn't see any difference.

Gallade then asked Milton if he would like to personally experience the difference between the two psychic blades.

Millerton nodded directly; the mental blade would hurt if it cut into his body.

But this is much more efficient than thinking slowly.

Millerton used to believe that avoiding injury was the key to wisdom.

Millerton now knows that he can get hurt, but he must trade it for greater benefits.

The first strike was a mental blade that cut through Millerton's body.

Only a small portion of the power penetrated the dragon scales, causing Milton pain.

Then comes the second course.

After the mental blade sliced ​​towards him, Millerton discovered that the second one was indeed somewhat different.

When the rain fell on him, Millerton couldn't help but scream.

A strong sense of cutting, a sharp blade, the fear of being sliced ​​open.

Millerton stared wide-eyed at the deep wound.

Why is there such a big difference?

Gallade looked at him calmly; this was the difference between wielding a sword with care and without care.

When you train with your heart, you can feel the joy of training.

Naturally, I didn't feel tired from training.

If Millerton can't passively experience the joy of training like Blaziken does.

Just like him, actively embrace the joy of training.

For Millerton, who possesses a super brain, this is not difficult.

Millard asked Onion Soldier why he was able to persist in training.

This made Cong Youbing reflect: "Yeah, why did he insist on training?"

Naturally, but not by default.

Cong Youbing couldn't help but feel a little confused.

When Sirfetch'd was practicing swordsmanship with Gallade at night, Gallade sensed a sense of bewilderment emanating from Sirfetch'd's blade.

Instead of directly confronting Li Shuwen, Gallade went to him.

Explain the situation of Cong Youbing.

Cong Youbing considers himself a knight and regards Li Shuwen as his lord.

In other words, Cong Youbing needs Li Shuwen's encouragement now.

Under the dazzling night sky, Li Shuwen and Cong Youbing sat together on the grass.

Cong Youbing still held his longsword and shield. Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Cong Youbing, if the high-intensity training makes you feel unhappy..."

"Then you can stop for now, and pick up the sword and shield again when you find the meaning of becoming stronger."

Li Shuwen rubbed Cong Youbing's head and took out a portion of scallion-flavored dried fish.

The leek in the hands of the Shallots is not only their weapon and the Farfetch'd's weapon, but also their favorite food.

"Sinnoh region doesn't have Galar leeks, so I had to use local leeks instead. I hope you'll like them, Sirfairy."

Li Shuwen took Cong Youbing's sword and shield, saying, "You've always protected me; now it's my turn to protect you."

"Try some dried anchovies."

Onion Soldier was very moved, and he felt a little uncomfortable putting down his sword and shield.

Picking up a small dried fish and putting it in his mouth, he chewed it a couple of times and felt the rich aroma. Cong Youbing showed a look of surprise.

"quack!"

Li Shuwen specifically chose a long-handled leek. Some trainers would pursue longer leeks in order to give Farfetch'd greater attack power.

Although it's not a carrying item, replacing the green onion with a higher-quality one will still affect the Green Onion Duck's fighting ability.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and some botanists began to cultivate new types of scallions.

It needs to be thin, long, and sturdy.

The scallions that Li Shuwen bought were actually discarded, failed products.

Although not suitable for fighting, these green onions are also the best food for leek ducks.

This leek cultivation base, located in the southwest of Vesmult City and near the large wetlands, has attracted many wild leek ducks to live there.

Li Shuwen then took out a chopped raw scallion and gave it to Cong Youbing.

"A bite of dried anchovy, a bite of scallion, have a taste."

Following Li Shuwen's method of eating, Cong Youbing's eyes lit up immediately after tasting it.

This flavor is simply... Thai hot!

Eating dried small fish and green onions, Onion Soldiers found the meaning of life.

That is to protect Li Shuwen and protect our beautiful life!

Li Shuwen looked at Cong Youbing with satisfaction, "Since you like this kind of scallion, we'll buy more!"

This incident also made Li Shuwen realize that he still had to feed Pokémon their favorite foods and even ingredients based on their habits.

You can't rely entirely on fairy food and snacks to influence their mood.

The next morning, everyone discovered that in addition to the usual Pokémon food, there were also some ingredients cut into small pieces.

Onion Soldier got two sections of scallion, and Poison Skull Frog got a piece of bitter melon cut into pieces.

The poisonous skeletal frog took a bite and was instantly drawn to the texture and flavor of the food.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Shuwen knew that this food innovation was a success.
