Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

The information to break the deadlock was already in hand; it was simply that Luo Wei put all this information together and added a bit of just the right amount of good luck.

Now, the situation has reversed. Without the Static Field, Electivire's offensive has slowed down, and with the added boost from Psychic Field, Gardevoir's power has increased significantly.

and so……

"Now we can decide the winner!"

Gardevoir raised her palm, purple light flickering in her eyes. Psychic energy was continuously compressed in her palm. Although it didn't actually form a small black hole, the compressed psychic energy still condensed into a clump, completely different from any previous instance, and was released in a brand new form.

This time, it's a powerful attack that condenses psychic energy into a highly compressed mass and unleashes it in an instant—a move that...

...strong willpower!

This powerful mental attack struck the Electabuzz directly, but the Electabuzz didn't back down at all. It activated its electric engine and charged forward again, its entire body enveloped in lightning!

As it accelerated, it collided head-on with the incoming psychic mass, resulting in a conflict far more intense than any it had ever experienced before.

However, before the dust could rise, Gardevoir raised its hands... and a dozen or so psychic clumps in its palms collided with each other, instantly transforming into a psychic storm.

The billowing dust was forcibly suppressed, and the electric monster trapped inside let out a wild roar. Its body was also suppressed by psychic power, but it was not controlled by it and continued to release electricity to confront the enemy.

Even without the electrostatic field and even under the enhanced suppression of the psychic field, it still resisted Gardevoir's powerful attack with an almost evenly matched force.

With another roar, the Electric Beast broke free from the shackles of mental power. Layers of golden lightning gathered on its clenched fist, propelling its body forward. This powerful lightning punch arrived close in an instant.

Gardevoir raised its hand once more, and a powerful psychic force swept out like a tsunami. Electivire's fist was just centimeters away from Gardevoir, almost touching its body.

However, the punch was ultimately blocked by a psychic barrier. Gardevoir then unleashed another psychic attack, pushing Electivire away.

After two failed charges, it seemed that the Electivire had finally exhausted its accumulated power. Although it still wanted to continue fighting, it was clearly already powerless.

"..." Tie Xuan glanced at the referee beside him, nodded to him, and then raised his hand to cover his palm...

Overlapping hands... admitting defeat...

The referee confirmed Tie Xuan's meaning and then loudly announced the final result.

"Dojo Master Tetsuya... concedes defeat. The winner is... Lo Wei!!!"

Upon hearing the verdict, Luo Wei let out a long sigh of relief. The third gym... broke through!

"Congratulations~"

Lillie, who was standing to the side, watched the whole process unfold. Even though she didn't think Rowe had any chance of winning in the latter half, he still managed to find a way to break the deadlock.

Of course, not only did Lillie think it was amazing, but Rowe himself felt very lucky. Fortunately, at least they still won.

In this way, Rowe has obtained his third badge, which is almost the pinnacle that most ordinary trainers can reach in their lifetime.

Naturally, since Rowe started with a four-badge difficulty level, he was already stronger than most ordinary trainers when he got his first badge.

Of course, what we have now is simply a further consolidation of our strength.

“That’s really impressive, Rowe…”

Grandpa Tie Xuan stepped forward with a smile and handed over a gold badge shaped like an electromagnetic coil, which Luo Wei quickly accepted with both hands.

After pinning the badge to his collar, Luo Wei casually took a picture and posted it on his WeChat Moments, which immediately garnered several comments.

"Ok?"

Among the messages, Luo Wei noticed a familiar ID, which belonged to the sickly boy, Man Chong. The boy offered his sincere blessings for Luo Wei's new achievements and also expressed his hope to meet Luo Wei in Green Shade Town.

Green Shade Town?

Greenwood Town and Purple City are separated by Route 117, and at the same time, there is a tunnel under construction in Greenwood Town that connects Kanaz City and Greenwood Town, which appears to have just been completed.

In other words, you can get to Kanaz City from Greenwood Town, which is indeed not far from Petalburg City where Manchukuo lives.

Luo Wei immediately gave an affirmative response and made an appointment with Man Chong. He just didn't know why Man Chong would suddenly invite him to meet. Was there something good going on?

Of course, these things would become clear once they met, so Luo Wei didn't ask any further questions.

After confirming the problem, Gardevoir teleported back to Lowell's side. The paralysis effect on Meowth had also worn off, and it was jumping around again.

"Thank you for your hard work in the previous battles. Please continue to guide me in the future!"

Lowe reached out to Gardevoir, while the Psychic Queen placed her hands on her lower abdomen, turned her head slightly and smiled at Lowe. Her obedient attitude showed no trace of a "queen" demeanor; she was still the little maid she used to be with Kirlia and Ralts.

Seeing Luo Wei's outstretched hand, she also generously extended her palm and placed it in Luo Wei's palm.

The telepathic connection transformed into a complete sentence, clearly resonating in Rowe's mind...

"...Nice to meet you, my proud master~"

Chapter 113 This is called the Bond Flow (Cheerleader Flow).

"!"

Before that, neither Ralts nor Kirlia could transmit fragmented words into Rowe's mind through telepathy.

However, at this moment, what was transmitted from Gardevoir was an unmistakable and complete sentence, meaning that Gardevoir's telepathy had finally become strong enough to have a normal conversation with Loew.

"...Haha, that's really something!"

Although in reality, even without telepathy, Lowell could roughly understand what his Pokémon meant, the effect of being able to communicate directly was naturally different.

"Please give me your guidance~"

Luo Wei readily accepted the challenge, and with this breakthrough at the third gym, he was one step closer to his father.

What are your plans for the future?

Lillie, standing nearby, asked curiously. Rowe nodded slightly, "Let's go to Verdanturf Town first to see a friend, and then head to the next gym location. But before that, I just contacted Mr. Steven; he should be here soon. Let's talk business first..."

The real business, of course, is that Lillie intends to confess her mother's evil deeds to the Alliance. She has made up her mind to testify against them as a witness, although at present, her strength as a witness is not actually enough to threaten the Aether Foundation.

After all, the Ethereum Foundation is quite large and influential, and its influence is mostly positive. In some ways, it is even more troublesome than the Rockets.

If you want to cause trouble for Team Rocket, 90% of the trainers in the world will applaud and strongly support you. But if you want to cause trouble for the Aether Foundation, without solid evidence, given the Aether Foundation's achievements in saving many wild Pokémon populations, many people will probably have doubts in their minds.

If things go wrong, this could even damage the league's credibility...

First, we need solid evidence, but to get that evidence, we'd probably have to sneak into the headquarters of the Ether Foundation.

In short, this matter cannot be rushed, after all, the league has other things to deal with right now.

For example, the Lava Team and the Ocean Team, who have made a lot of noise before, captured the Ocean Team's executive, Umishio, but it's unclear whether they got any useful information out of him.

To be honest, Lowe is pessimistic about this. After all, the Alliance's moral standards are still a bit too high. Without a major memory restoration spell (physical), it would be difficult to really extract any useful information from the other party.

Regardless, at least they captured one of the executives, which will weaken the Ocean Team's strength to some extent. After all, as things stand, apart from the executives and the boss, the Ocean Team and the Magma Team's other grunts are practically insignificant in terms of combat power.

When they encounter ordinary trainers, they are easily defeated. Luo Wei guesses that these grunts are just gathered to serve as human background. Their main purpose is probably to avoid the awkwardness of having too few people when the two sides are fighting, and to have two straight men by their side when they are talking.

Well, that's about all it means...

Therefore, losing even one cadre is a huge blow to them.

But considering that these cadres and bosses do have some real skills, it seems a bit too overpowered. You could say they have such abilities and could do many other things, but instead they choose to court death.

Regarding the objectives of Team Ocean and Team Lava, the hypothesis previously proposed by Lowe has been adopted by the league, although everyone finds this hypothesis somewhat unbelievable. It all comes down to this...

...Going to the moon is not surprising, but if you say that your purpose in going to the moon was to determine whether there is a Chang'e on the moon, then that reason is completely incomprehensible.

In short, everything depends on how things develop.

Since it would take some time for Daigo to arrive, Rowe took the opportunity to ask Tess for some more advice on Pokémon training.

In short, Luo Wei is now mainly focused on learning from various dojo masters and adapting that knowledge into his own.

The gym leaders are quite generous with their knowledge, always willing to teach trainers who are willing to learn. Of course... how much one can learn in the end depends on their own talent.

In fact, being a master does not necessarily mean being a good teacher. Being a master only means that one is exceptionally talented and hardworking. But hard work can be learned, while talents such as height, reaction speed, and lung capacity cannot be taught.

Therefore, even expert instructors sometimes encounter many problems, such as situations where someone might say, "Just do it like that, and it'll be fine!" Many ordinary people would react with, "Are you kidding me? How is that even possible?!"...

Fortunately, Luo Wei himself could be considered a genius, so Tie Xuan thoroughly enjoyed teaching him...

Since she had nothing better to do, Lillie tried to learn something by listening in. Lillie and Rowe became good comparative observation samples. Rowe easily understood the content and could quickly apply it to other situations, while Lillie was completely confused.

"Haha, it seems... I don't have the talent to become a trainer..."

After several attempts, Lillie came to this conclusion in frustration.

However, Luo Wei held a different view, saying, "That's not entirely true..."

While most powerful trainers rely on either natural talent or hard work, there is actually another legendary school of thought that exists among the common people...

...commonly known as the Bond Build (Cheerleader Build)

The core idea can be summed up in one sentence: close your eyes and leave everything to fate. Trainers should not provide any tactical planning for their Pokémon, but only provide emotional support. The Pokémon should be left to develop its own tactics.

The trainer only needs to give instructions such as "Get out of the way quickly," "Hold on," and "Go all out"...

The premise of this approach is having absolute emotional support for the Pokémon, making the Pokémon wholeheartedly fight for the trainer. And as it turns out, sometimes it's more effective for the Pokémon to take the lead than for the trainer to give meaningless commands.

As the saying goes, while great teammates can create a synergy greater than the sum of its parts, bad teammates can ruin the whole game. Rather than letting a bad teammate give chaotic advice, it's better to just close your eyes and leave it to fate...

...Anyway, when the time is right, everything that's meant to be will be.

Lillie is clearly not suited to a tactical style, but Rowe thinks she's perfect for this cheerleading style. Anyway, Rowe believes that as long as Lillie dares to wear a cheerleading uniform and do a cheering dance, she'll have a built-in power boost without saying a word...

The most swindling woman in Pokémon history... and I'm not kidding...

"Haha, Luo Wei, you don't need to comfort me like that~"

"No, I think it's because Lillie is completely unaware of her own potential. Hmm, you can try that sometime in the future; maybe it'll open the door to a whole new world!"

Chapter 114 Come on, let's put on a good fall.

"Eh?"

Lillie was a little confused, seemingly not quite understanding what Rowe was saying, but it didn't matter, she'd find out later when she had the chance to try it out.

At that moment, Lowe's navigator rang.

"Oh?" Luo Wei glanced at the number, then immediately patted Lillie on the shoulder. "Let's go, Mr. Daigo has arrived~"
