I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Kirullian began to slowly compress the Shadow Ball, while Ye Feng continued to stare at it.

The Shadow Ball slowly shrank until it was reduced to one-third of its original size, at which point Kirlia stopped moving; this was the limit it could currently achieve.

The shadow ball remained stable, only its color had become deeper.

"Continue." Ye Feng waved his hand.

Kirullian continued to compress, though she seemed to be struggling.

As the compression continued, Ye Feng noticed that the shadow sphere was becoming unstable; the originally pure black sphere began to fluctuate.

Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and as he dodged, he shouted, "Enough! Throw him out!"

Kirlia flung the Shadow Ball away.

The shadow sphere in mid-air visibly began to twist and deform, and then exploded in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng nodded. The situation here was roughly as he had expected.

"Come again."

Another Shadow Ball appeared between Kirlia's hands.

"This time, try to make the shadow ball spin, take it slow." Ye Feng stretched out his finger and drew circles along the horizontal direction. "Remember, if you find the shadow ball unstable, throw it out immediately, don't get hurt."

If the Shadow Ball explodes at close range, it could potentially harm Kirlia. Experiments are experiments, but Ye Feng has no intention of risking Kirlia's safety.

Kirullian nodded and tried to make the Shadow Ball spin.

The shadow ball began to spin at a very slow speed.

Ye Feng stared intently at the shadow sphere and found that the sphere remained in a very stable state.

"A slight acceleration."

Gradually, the shadow ball began to accelerate, while maintaining a stable state.

"Hurry up."

The speed continued to increase, and after the Shadow Ball reached a speed that could be seen spinning, the Shadow Ball fluctuated violently. Ye Feng's pupils contracted, and Kirlia paused, immediately throwing the Shadow Ball away.

"boom!"

The shadow ball hadn't flown very far when it exploded.

Ye Feng frowned.

After several more trials, the result was the same: once the speed increased, the shadow ball became unstable.

The rotation of the shadow sphere does indeed cause the structure to become unstable. Is it because the rotation causes a change in the distribution of energy inside, making it impossible to maintain a stable structure?

Ye Feng lowered his head and pondered.

How can one maintain stable energy while making the shadow spin? Like Naruto creating clones?

However, there is no move like clone in the game. Similar clones only create a doll and have no mobility; shadow clones are just illusions created by high-speed movement.

Shadow Clone Technique... Substitute... Shadow Clone... Clone... Clone... Distraction... Distraction... Multitasking... Ambidextrous Technique?

Oh, right, the art of ambidextrous fighting!

Ye Feng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Kirullian, is it possible that you can keep the Shadow Ball spinning while maintaining its stability?"

Kirlia tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Ye Feng understood its meaning.

Kirullian is saying that it cannot attend to both sides at the same time. If it rotates the shadow ball, it cannot be distracted by maintaining stability; if it maintains stability, it cannot be distracted by making the shadow ball rotate quickly.

As expected, it's because I can't do two things at once!

After Kirlia released the Shadow Ball, she focused her attention on its rotation and did not bother to maintain its stability. In fact, the Shadow Ball is usually used in a sphere and does not need to be stabilized.

This resulted in Kirlia focusing solely on spinning and failing to realize the need to stabilize the Shadow Ball.

However, it is not currently capable of maintaining stability while rotating; it cannot multitask.

The principle of multitasking involves the "central energy theory" proposed by a professor in a previous life. In this theory, attention is viewed as a limited amount of resources or energy that can be used to perform tasks, and the allocation of energy or resources is the allocation of attention.

Simply put, it's like watching anime while doing homework. Your attention will definitely be biased towards one side: watching anime will make your homework messy; while doing homework, you'll find that you can't remember what the anime you just watched was about.

Of course, there are also some exceptionally gifted people who are born with the ability to multitask.

So, does that mean Kirlia will be able to perform the Spiral Shadow Ball once she learns to multitask? Ye Feng made a bold guess.

The most famous example of multitasking is undoubtedly the ambidextrous fighting technique of the Old Urchin in martial arts novels.

The first key to learning the Ambidextrous Technique is to draw a circle with the left hand and a square with the right. So, with his hands behind his back and a mysterious expression, Ye Feng said to Kirlia, "Kirlia, next, I'm going to teach you a peerless martial art..."

Kirullian: ⊙o⊙

Chapter 41 Taking a break from the busy schedule

Although Ye Feng was going to teach Kirlia the art of ambidexterity, he didn't fully understand the detailed theory behind it, so he could only have Kirlia practice "drawing a circle with her left hand and a square with her right hand" for now.

However, the progress is a bit disappointing. The elves are too simple-minded, or rather, too single-minded, and therefore unable to understand the mysteries within.

However, Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry. He had already learned Shadow Ball, and as for Spiral Shadow Ball, there was no rush to master it overnight.

Jinghai City is located by the Yangtze River. Ye Feng, who was having a headache from writing his thesis, decided to go to the Yangtze River to see the water and relax. He felt that being immersed in training and his thesis all day long could easily make him stupid.

I originally wanted to invite Ning Xian and the others, but unfortunately today is a combat training session. They don't have Ye Feng's special privileges and still have to attend class.

Ye Feng shook his head and sighed with regret.

After taking a taxi for half an hour, Ye Feng arrived at the riverbank.

Located near the estuary and situated on a plain, the water is calm and the river is tranquil. Occasionally, fishing boats and passenger ships can be seen passing by.

Ye Feng found a beach and lay down, looking at the river with a contented expression, while Kirlia was building sandcastles on the side.

"Ah~~~~ It's quite nice to be a bit lazy sometimes." Ye Feng yawned, feeling warm and relaxed in the sunshine.

"Lu~" Kirlia suddenly ran over, nudged Ye Feng, and then pointed to the river.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Ye Feng sat up curiously and looked into the distance.

Several people were seen riding in a sightseeing yacht, speeding across the river.

"You want to sit too?" After a moment's thought, Kirlia understood what he meant, and Kirlia nodded, her face full of anticipation and excitement.

My elf is so strange.

Ye Feng muttered something, but since Kirlia wanted to ride a yacht, Ye Feng would naturally grant her wish.

They rented a yacht from the rental shop and then boarded it with Kirlia.

"Lu~~~" Kirlia opened her mouth wide excitedly, letting the river wind fill her mouth, making strange noises all the while.

Seeing Kirullian's happy expression, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel happy as well.

He discovered that since it hatched, it had been either training or on its way to training, and it seemed to have hardly played around at all. It seemed that he was not a qualified trainer.

"Perhaps I'm being too nervous?" Ye Feng thought to himself as he looked at the calm river surface.

After arriving in this world, although he quickly got used to it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Perhaps it was because he felt insecure in an unfamiliar world? Ye Feng had been working hard to train Kirlia. Even after winning the Rookie Cup, his first thought was not to rest, but to have Kirlia learn Shadow Ball and Ambidextrous Technique to further improve her strength.

If it weren't for the headache of writing my thesis, I don't know when I would have had the chance to go out and have some fun.

Perhaps I should take a break and be a bit of a slacker...

After sitting on the yacht for a full two hours on the river, Kirulian finally settled down contentedly in Ye Feng's arms.

Speaking of which... "Kirullian, you don't seem to be clinging to me as much lately?" Ye Feng suddenly asked. He remembered Ralts, who always wanted to sit on his shoulders and hug his head, and would even snuggle into his arms to sleep at night.

“Ru?!” Kirlia froze and sat up abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Ye Feng felt a little empty inside as he felt his arms suddenly go empty. He sat down next to Kirlia and turned his head to look at its profile.

“Lu...Lu~” Kirlia muttered twice.

"What? You've grown up, so you can't act like a child anymore?" Ye Feng understood Kirullian's words and couldn't help but laugh.

"Lu!" Kirlia turned her head and glared at Ye Feng, clearly embarrassed.

"Really." Ye Feng smiled helplessly and hugged Kirlia. "You're only a few months old, and you've already grown up? Besides, you're my Pokémon. Isn't it normal for you to act cute with your trainer?"

"Lu~" Kirlia smiled with relief as Ye Feng held her in his arms.

"Dad~"

"What?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Kirlia in his arms. He seemed to hear Kirlia call him "Dad."

"Lu?" Kirullian looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination." Ye Feng patted Kirlia's head.

What Ye Feng didn't notice was that the keystone, which he always kept close to his body, suddenly flashed with a faint light.

After the incident with the Yangtze River, Ye Feng no longer immersed himself in training and his thesis as before, but instead took Kirlia out to play from time to time.

However, to his disappointment, the Pokémon egg he obtained in the rookie cup showed no signs of hatching.

"I wonder when it will hatch? Ralts hatched in less than a week." Ye Feng poked the Pokémon egg in the incubation container. It had been a month and there was still no movement. "I wonder what kind of Pokémon it is. The association said it was randomly selected. I wonder what's inside."

The egg's surface is covered in red patterns, so it must be a Fire-type Pokémon, right? What kind of Pokémon could it be? I hope it's Growlithe. Ye Feng really likes the cool Arcanine, and Arcanine is also very strong.
