An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 10 Beacon of Freedom
Upon seeing this mysterious prop that had suddenly appeared, Mo Zhen smiled disdainfully and calmly instructed Xiao Huolong.

"Don't be afraid, bullets are just steel with kinetic energy. How can mere steel compare to a well-trained body! Wait a minute..."

Upon seeing the gun pointed at him, Mo Zhen's unrestrained smile froze like winter frost.

At that moment, with the enemy's gun pointed at him, he felt the pure, unadulterated spirit of freedom within the Union...

boom!
A gunshot rang out, shocking the entire audience!

This is the free duel of the free people.

No rules, no restrictions, no lower limit.

Not only do Pokémon need to duel, but trainers also need to duel.

For ruthless criminal gangs, it's better to directly defeat the Pokémon trainers than to go through the trouble of defeating the Pokémon!

Bullets may not be able to penetrate the defenses of high-level Pokémon, but for an unarmed trainer, this is the most lethal and effective attack.

The Hezhongjuhe is a must-try!
At this moment, facing the oncoming death metal, Mo Zhen's eyes showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, a glint of eager anticipation flashed in them, and he let out a strange cry full of exotic flair.

"Smash! Varudo!"

Clearly, Mo Zhen was trying to use the power of Stand: World to freeze the speeding bullet in time and space.

The sudden, eerie cry, like a spell, sent chills down everyone's spines.

Everyone assumed these were Mo Zhen's dying words after being shot.

But the next moment, as if the gears of time had suddenly stopped turning, the whistling bullet actually hovered in the void less than a meter away from Mo Zhen!
ho-

In unison, everyone present gasped!
Stand users are terrifyingly powerful!
While Mo Zhen reveled in the awe-inspiring gazes and the respect he received from the powerful, his stand-in, Xiao Mengzi, was already drenched in sweat, having exerted every ounce of her strength.

As a Psychic-type Pokémon with a base stat total of less than 300, this little bastard used all its strength to finally block this unsportsmanlike sneak attack with [Psychic].

Damn, thank goodness it was just a stopped bullet; the kinetic energy wasn't too great. If they had thrown a shot put, I can't even imagine what would have happened...

Seeing Mo Zhen speaking gibberish and blocking his bullet, Newz, who couldn't see Xiaomengzi, immediately changed his expression and shouted that it was getting dangerous and he had to get out of there.

"Run! This guy has superpowers!!!"

Upon hearing the words "superpowered person," the other three thugs nearly wet themselves in fear.

In the world of elves, those with superpowers are feared and dreaded.

Their fighting power is sometimes even more terrifying than Psychic-type Pokémon!
Moreover, in Unova, there is a terrifying legend about psychics. It is said that a psychic from Sinnoh once used his powers to do some truly horrifying things...

Completely stunned by Mo Zhen's superpower performance, the four of them were so shocked that they turned tail and ran away, disappearing from everyone's sight without daring to look back.

Victory, triumph, settlement!

After achieving a complete victory in this battle against the evil forces, Mo Zhen raised his hands high to activate the victory settlement screen.

"Okay, everyone, look at me! I have an announcement to make—you're all free!"

At that moment, Mo Zhen's passionate declaration of freedom was like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts after they came ashore, and rekindling their dreams and hopes for this free land.

The handsome young man in the red suit before them seemed to have transformed into a majestic Statue of Liberty, guiding them forward like a lighthouse in the darkness!
This is the skill of the older generation of artists; their performances, anytime and anywhere, with every gesture, can evoke the emotions of the audience with fluid grace.

"Is this what a real trainer is like? That's great, Mom. I want to be a trainer."

Pointing at Mo Zhen, who was radiating artistic brilliance, Ming Yi, whose eyes had been dull, suddenly had a gleam in them and uttered some startling words.

In an instant, as if struck by lightning, Xiao Mengzi was startled in mid-air, overjoyed.

[Yay! Sir, we did it! We did it!]

Seeing her daughter start talking nonsense in a fit of madness, Mingyi's mother immediately looked troubled and prepared to remind her daughter just how high a threshold one has to cross to become a trainer.

"Madam, if I may be frank, I can tell at a glance that your daughter possesses a rare innate talent for becoming a trainer. If she has the opportunity to become a trainer, she will surely shine brightly in the League Tournament!"

Seeing that the situation was under control, Mo Zhen immediately stepped forward with a smile, interrupting Mingyi's mother's spellcasting, and pressed her advantage on Mingyi.

"Little sister Mingyi, becoming a trainer is actually very simple. As long as you have a determined heart, maintain a confident smile, believe in your potential, and get along with your Pokémon with care, you will definitely succeed!"

"Wow, really?"

Originally, Mingyi's mother didn't believe that her daughter would have any connection with a trainer, but after Mo Zhen said that, she became a little suspicious.

Mo Zhen's words weren't heavily embellished; after all, based on the game scenarios he'd experienced, this silly girl would probably have the strength of a champion-level trainer after touring around Unova...

Looking into Mingyi's intelligent eyes, Mo Zhen touched her nose with a guilty conscience.

I guess so……

"Hey! Scorbunny, where are you going? Get back in your Poké Ball right now! Damn it..."

Without even thanking his savior, Gou-zai, who had been beaten to his knees, limped after Scorbunny, who had fled into the forest, attempting to recall her into her Poké Ball...

Upon seeing this nonsensical object, Mo Zhen revealed a meaningful smile.

"Man, what can I say? I wish him good luck in United States!"

As everyone left, the boy with the middle-part hairstyle began muttering some incomprehensible words again. "Free will truly exists. The sleeping giants, I must awaken them..."

Watching the other person's gloomy figure disappear into the distance, Mo Zhen stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

"There shouldn't be any giants in this world, right?"

As they were talking, Mo Zhen suddenly remembered that those toilets with "Reggie" in their names were the giants from Pokémon legends, weren't they?
Perhaps one day in the future, this middle-parted boy will drive the Toilet King, leading a host of toilet models, and wreak havoc on the world...

Under Mo Zhen's guidance, the lives of these illegal immigrants quietly changed. The changes in their life trajectories caused subtle fluctuations in the future world line, releasing a large amount of dream energy.

Sensing the energy overflowing in the space, Xiaomengzi immediately inhaled it frantically, her entire body swelling up like a balloon.

【Oh yeah! Great, that's it! I want more...more!】

Looking at the satisfied little Mengzi, Mo Zhen stroked his chin and said.

"Is it just my imagination? You seem a little heavier than before..."

Little Mengzi, who was tumbling around in the air, let out a burp.

[Hehehe...burp! How annoying, I've always had this figure, I haven't gotten fat at all! Burp!]

Seeing the other person's appearance, Mo Zhen was certain that this kid must have eaten a lot of oil this time.

"Tell me, how much energy did you consume? Quantify it for me!"

Pressed by Mo Zhen and intimidated by his tough training methods, Xiao Mengzi had no choice but to confess honestly.

[Actually, it wasn't much. I only absorbed some level 1 pure energy, and okay, I also got some level 2 pure dream energy from Mingyi...]

Immediately afterwards, Xiaomengzi showed Mozhen her inventory.

[Dream Energy Reserve]

[Level 1 Pure: 4]

[Level 2 Pure: 1]

[Level 3 Pure: 0]

……

A thoughtful look appeared in Mo Zhen's eyes. He didn't yet know what the effects of these energies of different purities were.

However, he didn't investigate further.

Because in Mo Zhen's eyes, Xiao Mengzi is just a little piggy bank. No matter how much oil and fat it eats, he can still use it to collect the opponent's gold coins at any time.

After the curtain fell on the stage, Xiao Huolong, the protagonist who had just finished playing the hero, felt a sense of loneliness.

One second it was a flame of hope for everyone, the next second it was over, everyone went their separate ways, and the burnt-out firewood was ignored.

In the midst of a desolate scene, Xiao Huolong's weak body staggered and was about to fall down.

Clearly, this is a classic case of erectile dysfunction after a period of intense sexual activity.

With Xiao Huolong's current low-level Yellow Rank Burning Technique, his battle qi reserves and endurance are very limited. The battle just now has exhausted all of his power.

Just as it was about to fall, a strong and powerful hand caught it firmly.

A tremor ran through Xiao Huolong's heart. He hadn't expected that at this moment, someone would pick up this burnt-out piece of firewood.

When it looked back, it was met with a resolute gaze.

There were no words spoken, yet that gaze, which seemed to span a thousand years, seemed to convey a thousand unspoken words.

This...this feeling...

Suddenly, the image of the red-hatted elder who had saved him from the abyss of darkness appeared in Xiao Huolong's mind.

The words they had spoken kept overlapping in its mind. The red training uniform and the red suit seemed to overlap in a daze!
Could it be that……

A bold idea popped into Xiao Huolong's mind, making him excited!
Could this handsome young man before me be the old man I've been fantasizing about?!

That's right, the Burning Technique and the Fire Claw are real. In fact, he taught them to me. It's just that I've been wandering alone for many years and have become somewhat delirious, so I've imagined scenes to process this overly fantastical reality...

Seeing the turbulent emotions surging in Xiao Huolong's eyes, Mo Zhen remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already feeling quite pleased with her superb acting skills.

As the saying goes, deep affection is hard to retain, but clever tricks always win people's hearts.

Forget about bonds and friendships, those things that only exist in shonen manga and cartoon channels are really too fancy. We're all adults, why make it so sentimental? Just say it's PUA!
Mo Zhen, a respected and virtuous veteran artist, is incredibly skilled at PUA (Pick-Up Artist) techniques. With just a few moves, he could easily fool the naive Xiao Huolong into tears.

"Friend, seeing that you're also venturing into the world alone, and considering our excellent teamwork just now, how about we travel together and explore this continent of the United States?"

Having already decided in his heart that Mo Zhen was the Chi Lao he had imagined, Xiao Huolong naturally nodded his head like a rattle drum without any hesitation.

Having easily captured her first Pokémon, Mo Zhen elegantly straightened her proud little collar and strode confidently toward this continent filled with Dreams...
