An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 200 Dog Hao: What a roundabout way we've come! (Please subscribe)
After many days and many hardships, our great director Mo Da finally found his long-lost brother on the railway construction site in Qibao City, a foreign land!
The dark-skinned boy, lying on the ground like a well-trained mule carrying heavy sleepers, was seen crawling laboriously across the dusty construction site.

Those eyes, which once shone with lofty ideals, are now just two murky pools of stagnant water, completely devoid of their brilliance, blankly reflecting the pebbles worn smooth by countless pairs of shoes beneath their feet.

As he crawled numbly, his cloudy gaze swept across the ground and suddenly fixed on a pair of gleaming Chelsea boots.

The body carrying the sleeper shuddered violently, as if struck by an invisible electric current. The heavy log crashed to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His stiff neck, like a rusty bearing, slowly lifted, his cloudy gaze laboriously moving upwards along the crease of his crisp trousers, finally settling on Mo Zhen's handsome face, which wore a playful smile.

In an instant, his eyes, which had completely lost their luster, surged with turbid waves, like a dry well tossed with stones.

Two streams of tears, brimming with complex emotions, flowed uncontrollably, leaving two messy tear streaks on his dark face.

"Quaa——!!!"

A heart-wrenching, inhuman scream pierced the noise of the construction site. He completely abandoned his dignity as a human being, like a stray dog ​​that had been abandoned for many years finally smelling the scent of its master. Using all four limbs, in an almost frenzied manner, he lunged at Mo Zhen's expensive trouser leg!

"Mo Zhen! Help me! It's me! The great Pokémon Trainer, Xiao Hao, please save me!"

That's right, this guy is none other than Xiao Hao, who successfully staged "Haushenk's Redemption" from Mingyi and has been missing for many days!
Not long after he bit off the reins that bound his freedom with his amazing will to survive and breathed the sweet air of freedom on the land of United States again, the cruel reality was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing his joy of regaining his freedom.

He was horrified to discover a serious problem: he had no money! No job! And no survival skills to hunt by hand in the wild or identify tree fruits!
Eating, the most basic need, became a Damocles' sword hanging over his head.

Fortunately, although Xiao Hao doesn't have any outstanding strengths, his bottom line is low enough!

Just as he was starving, he spotted a restaurant wafting an enticing aroma of food.

Although he didn't have a single penny in his pocket, he was going to tame the chosen one of dreams. What's wrong with eating a meal from you? It would be your greatest honor to help this chosen one of mine realize his dream!
So he set his sights on a roadside restaurant that looked to be doing well, intending to carry out his long-planned free meal scheme.

He straightened his clothes, which had turned to shreds, and tried to project the haughty air of a trainer before charging inside.

However, the restaurant owner's eyes, which had seen countless people, swept over his disheveled, ragged appearance like a stray dog, and he picked up a broom without hesitation.

"Get out! Where did this homeless person come from! If you don't leave, I'll call Officer Jenny!"

The boss's roar was like a thunderclap, scaring Xiao Hao out of his wits. His newly ignited dark will was instantly crushed by the name "Jun Sha". His disheveled escape attracted the attention of passersby.

Fortunately, the city's police force seemed to be tied up with some major case those days, which allowed him, this "black rat," to escape the encirclement.

Hunger gnawed at his stomach like countless Snorlax.

Just as he was starving and his eyes were turning green, and he was about to lose his mind, a food bowl filled with brown granules that smelled of meat appeared by the roadside!

At that moment, Xiao Hao immediately understood that this must be a delicacy bestowed upon him by heaven!
Sure enough, fate would not abandon this chosen one!

He let out a low growl like a wild beast, and pounced on the food in the bowl like a vicious dog, grabbing it and stuffing it into his mouth!

"Ah, it smells so good!"

He swallowed frantically while mumbling his praises, and his eyes even welled up with tears.

"This taste...it feels like home..."

Although there was a strange fishy smell and some hard bone bits, under the influence of extreme hunger, he automatically beautified these as "unique flavors".

Just as he was completely immersed in the "taste of home," a hot breath suddenly sprayed onto the back of his neck!

He stiffly turned his head and met a pair of dog eyes burning with furious flames, right up close!

A large wolfhound, the size of a calf with its fangs bared, was baring its teeth at him and growling threateningly.

Only then did Xiao Hao realize that he was eating someone else's real dog food!
"puff--!"

Xiao Hao suddenly spat out the remaining dog food in his mouth, his face instantly turning from black to purple, and then from purple to black.

An immense sense of shame and anger erupted like a volcano; he felt his dignity as a "future Mew Trainer" had been utterly trampled into the mud!
"You bastard! I'm a future legendary trainer! The man who's going to catch Mew! You think you're worthy of letting me eat your stuff? This thing is simply a joke!"

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, he lost his temper and kicked over the dog bowl that bore witness to his humiliating past, spilling golden dog food all over the ground.

This wasteful and provocative behavior completely ignited the wolfhound's fury.

It let out a low, threatening growl from its throat, and the next second, its figure transformed into a gray-black lightning bolt, unleashing [Malicious Pursuit] and slamming solidly into Xiao Hao!

"Uh-"

Xiao Hao was knocked backward and flew out, crashing heavily to the ground.

Before he could even struggle to his feet, the large wolfhound bared its teeth and unleashed a barrage of attacks on him!
"No!!! You...you can't do this! Ugh...ughhhhhh! It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Xiao Hao's piercing screams echoed through the street, filled with despair and madness.

Two hours later, Xiao Hao, still in excruciating pain, scrambled away from the street that had left him with lifelong psychological trauma, and frantically rushed into the treacherous wilderness.

In a slightly open area on the outskirts of the forest, on a patch of soft soil that had clearly been turned over, there was a small pile of brightly colored tree fruits!
Not far away, two men dressed as hunters, smoking cheap cigarettes, were chatting idly.

"Hey, this is such a stupid trap, it wouldn't even fool a newly weaned Zigzagoon, would it? How could it possibly catch a Pokémon?"

The tall, thin man complained, while the short, fat man blew a smoke ring and waved lazily.

"Hey, who cares! We're just outsourced workers, making 3000 a month. Do you really think you're one of those high-ranking employees with permanent positions at West German Company? Just pretending to make a living... huh?!"

He suddenly stopped talking and stared wide-eyed in the direction of the trap.

"Wait! There's movement! Something has actually taken the bait!"

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise and excitement flashing in their eyes. They immediately grabbed the tools next to them, crouched down, and moved closer.

"Holy crap, are there really idiots who fell for this? Huh? What... what is this thing?"

The tall, thin man stared at the mysterious creature in the trap, its body covered in black and draped only in a few tattered pieces of cloth, frantically stuffing tree fruits into its mouth. He was utterly bewildered.

The short, fat man squinted and looked him over, guessing uncertainly.

"Dark and unsightly... kind of like a canine spirit I've never seen before? Whatever, I'll just take it! At least I'll have something to show for it!"

As he spoke, he took out a slightly worn Poké Ball and threw it at Goh.

A flash of red light, and nothing happened; the Poké Ball bounced away the instant it touched Goh.

"NO! NO! NO! You've got it wrong! I'm human, not an elf!"

Goh was hit on the head by a Poké Ball. He waved his arms in a panic, his mouth full of berries, and protested incoherently.

"Tsk, the Poké Ball doesn't work? What a useless thing! Then let's use the secret weapon, the Giant Chain!" "NO—!!!"

Xiao Hao's screams rang out again, but this time they were quickly drowned out by the heavy sound of chains being wrapped around him and the rough binding motions.

The two hunters worked together seamlessly, quickly binding the struggling Xiao Hao like a dumpling and stuffing him into the cage of a dilapidated transport truck.

Soon at a transit point, he was crammed together with many other captured wild elves and a few equally unfortunate vagrants and put onto a transport ship.

After a long journey, traversing a large circle across the entire United States, Doghao finally arrived at his destination in life.

After experiencing being smuggled ashore and sold, working as a farm tool, being "modified" by Team Plasma, eating dog food, being bitten by dogs, and finally being arrested, his life trajectory drew a perfect golden loop, going around in a big circle and finally returning to the starting point - building railroads.

Here, he began the darkest period of his life.

Every day before dawn, the electric monster overseeing the work would use its strong arms, crackling with electric arcs, to precisely strike each of the still-sleeping animals, especially those like Xiao Hao who received special attention.

If he were even slightly slower, he would be met with the electric monster's six strikes in a second.

On the dusty, sleeper-heavy construction site, he crawled and worked like a real old dog until night fell completely, then he could drag his almost broken body and curl up in a corner of the shed that smelled of sweat and mildew and fall asleep.

However, if that's all there is to it, for a dark-skinned good-for-nothing like Xiao Hao who has little survival skills, working nearly twenty hours a day from dawn till dusk can be considered a blessing.

At least here they provide food and lodging, which is much better than selling your ass and eating dog food outside.

However, this rare blessing also came to an end one day.

Inside West Devon Corporation, the latest research findings of a mad scientist were unearthed from some dark corner.

This is a special cultivation method called the "Path of Common Peace," which is said to be able to stimulate the mysterious power latent in humans, allowing ordinary humans to gain extraordinary abilities like elves!

Xiao Hao, with his extraordinary physique, was spotted by the company personnel in charge of the project and became the first test subject for this mysterious plan.

The project manager patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Young man, you look quite presentable, with extraordinary talent, one in a million. You must be a prodigy in the path of cultivation! For the evolution of humanity, for the glory of the company, dedicate your body!"

Xiao Hao, who was exhausted from working on the railway, was overjoyed to hear that he had been chosen to do such an amazing experiment. He was so happy that he had finally made it through!

He recalled what he had learned in school about "Heaven will entrust a great task to this person", and thought that after experiencing so many hardships, he had finally been entrusted with a great task by Heaven!

So he looked at the discerning eye who had recognized his exceptional talent and patted his chest, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

"No problem! I am the chosen one! I will definitely become the Unova Superman!"

And so, without any prior knowledge, Xiao Hao began his journey on the "Gongping Road"...

During the experiment, the researchers were unable to analyze which of the experimental data provided by the mad scientist were necessary and sufficient conditions.

Therefore, in the experiment, Xiao Hao strictly followed the glorious path taken by that loser senior named Gong Ping, recreating his experience one-to-one.

The first step, "opening the mind with electric shocks," involves intensely stimulating the brain with electric shocks, euphemistically called "opening the energy valve."

Xiao Hao convulsed violently amidst the electric shocks, emitting screams of "Humph ah ah ah ah" in an electric audible manner, and was repeatedly electrocuted to the point of losing consciousness.

The second step, the forbidden baptism: watch a video obtained from that mad scientist to open the door to a new world in the spiritual realm.

Xiao Hao screamed nonstop while watching this bizarre movie, and his entire worldview was shattered.

The third step, Nightmare Training: Enter the ultimate dream world to train in battle against Cloyster.

Xiao Hao is caught in a bizarre dream where he is being relentlessly attacked by a Shellder that possesses Armament Haki.

The hard shell opened and closed, subjecting him to endless, ultimate pressure and training, like a millstone.

When he woke up, he was completely out of his mind.

The fourth step is power infusion: at the end of the Gongping Road, one must undergo special training by four monstrous muscles taking turns!
Xiao Hao reminisced countless times about the happy times he spent carrying railway sleepers...

After the leveling was completed, the project manager looked at the data displayed on the instrument with great anticipation.

However, after careful testing, this dark-skinned good-for-nothing was almost no different from the previous good-for-nothing who struggled to even carry a railway sleeper, except for incontinence and the inability to fart loudly!
Ultimately, after consuming a significant amount of the company's resources, the groundbreaking "Gongping Road" project was ruthlessly rejected by the company's top management.

As a failed experiment, Xiao Hao was thrown back into the dusty railway construction site like a piece of broken trash, to continue his job as a railway piglet.

Now, after experiencing hardships comparable to the eighteenth level of hell, Xiao Hao has finally seen his only savior at this turning point in his life—the mysterious man in the red suit, Mo Zhen!
The pent-up despair, grievances, pain, and longing for freedom exploded in an instant!

He scrambled and crawled, tears streaming down his face, and with his last bit of strength, he lunged at Mo Zhen's trouser leg once more!
This time, as long as he can cling to this powerful figure, he'd be willing to do anything, even lick the soles of their shoes!

However, a massive yellow wall of sighs blocked his way.

A huge can of yellow peaches was pointing its thick fingers at Xiao Hao in a deep, righteous voice, making a solemn declaration.

"Bad people and dogs must not approach Old Man Chi!"

Even though Tang Long, the protector, blocked him, Xiao Hao still lay on the ground and tearfully pleaded with Mo Zhen.

"Mo Zhen! You can't just stand by and watch me die! Look at me! Look what I've been through! Do you know how great my dream is?! I'm the man destined to conquer dreams! I'm the chosen one! I... Ughh ...

Before he could finish his passionate exposition of the "Dream Chosen One Theory," the electric monster that had been eyeing him intently had already activated its powers!
Its powerful arms, crackling with electricity, became a blurry afterimage, demonstrating its work ethic of striking six times per second to the extreme!

Next up was Xiao Hao's breakdancing performance, followed by a champagne feast.

Seeing the other person's miserable situation, Xiaomengzi let out a merciless snort.

[Ugh, ugh! It's so enjoyable to watch! You're a leopard that can't change its spots, still daring to dream of such unrealistic dreams! Bah! You don't even deserve it!]

Just then, a black humanoid creature, also carrying sleepers and almost unrecognizable due to being covered in dust, suddenly slammed the heavy sleepers on its shoulders to the ground!

It stood upright, its chest heaving violently, as if suppressing a raging fire, and roared across the construction site at the violent electric monster and the indifferent overseers.

"Enough! I can't stand it anymore! Stop it right now! You cold-blooded monsters!"

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

Mo Zhen looked in the direction of the sound and saw the black creature shake off the dust, revealing a dark and shiny body, a full figure, and... those signature thick lips!
At that moment, he couldn't help but gasp and let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

"Holy crap! A talking jellyfish?!"
