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

"This..." Guo Pengfei was stunned. Thinking it was a bug, he recalculated, but the result was the same. "It's far beyond the beginner level..."

Guo Pengfei switched to the intermediate level, but his physical strength no longer met the standard. However, his mental strength still exceeded the intermediate level standard.

"Boss..." Guo Pengfei couldn't help but look at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng touched his nose; he could probably guess this outcome.

He knew that Kirlian had strong mental power. In fact, he could guess that from the fact that she could use "Strength". She could use her mental power to form a barrier for defense. How could her mental power not be strong?

"Boss, you've scared me a bit." Guo Pengfei clutched his chest; it was the first time he'd ever seen such data.

"Calm down, keep a low profile." Ye Feng waved his hand with a smile.

"By the way, now that you've researched these things, do you want to become a researcher?" Ye Feng asked.

Guo Pengfei shook his head: "No, I want to be a breeder."

"A breeder? But you..."

Seeing Guo Pengfei's Tyranitar, Ye Feng knew he had no intention of becoming a Trainer, but he wouldn't say anything. Whether or not one becomes a Trainer is a personal matter, and Tyranitar clearly enjoyed being with Guo Pengfei. However, Ye Feng had originally thought he wanted to be a researcher, but it turned out he was a breeder.

"I'd much rather see my Pokémon grow up healthy and happy under my careful care than have them battle." Guo Pengfei said this with a determined look in his eyes.

Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder, conveying his affirmation and encouragement: "Keep it up, I believe in you."

With the cutting-edge technology that Guo Pengfei has developed, achieving success in nurturing talent will be a piece of cake.

Chapter 74 An Encounter with a Master

As the capital, the capital city is the political, cultural, international exchange, and technological innovation center of China, embodying the essence of Chinese civilization.

The moment Ye Feng stepped onto this land, he felt a profound and steady sense of weight and composure. This feeling was hard to describe in words; it was something ingrained in his very being.

"Boss, where should we go first?" Guo Pengfei asked, looking at his phone as he followed Ye Feng.

Ye Feng sighed. He didn't know how Guo Pengfei had gotten on his good side and insisted on recognizing him as his boss. All he did was save his Yuki... But having a follower didn't seem so bad, did it?

Being called "boss" in public felt so embarrassing! People who didn't know better would think I was some kind of scoundrel. I coughed lightly, glanced at the time, and said, "Okay, let's go check into the hotel first. Have you booked a hotel?"

"It's okay, we can just cancel it. I'll stay with the boss," Guo Pengfei said.

...Something sounds off.

"Alright, it'll take more than half an hour to get there, and by then it'll be about time to eat."

"it is good."

···

I took a taxi to the hotel, checked in, and had dinner—all in one smooth motion.

"What are your plans for tonight?" Ye Feng asked, taking a sip of soup. A bowl of soup after a meal helps with digestion.

"No, I just stay in my room and work on the computer."

"I'm going to the public battlegrounds to find some people to practice with," Ye Feng said.

"I'll go too, and I'll also collect data on the boss elf."

"let's go!"

Upon arriving at the public area, Ye Feng was just about to find a suitable sparring partner when he saw a group of people gathered around a training ground. Judging from the noise, it looked quite lively.

Ye Feng and Guo Pengfei exchanged a glance, seeing the impulse awakening in each other's blood in their eyes, and said in unison, "Let's go, let's go take a look!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

However, the two seemed to be late. When they arrived at the battlefield, they just saw Magneton take down the opposing Palico with a Thunderbolt, and Magneton didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Damn it, we lost again," someone on the side said through gritted teeth.

"Again?" Ye Feng glanced sideways. This person had won several matches in a row.

"Hey kid, what are you doing? Tell me about it," Ye Feng said, smiling as he approached the person.

The man glanced at Ye Feng and sighed, "This Magneton trainer has set up a challenge here, saying that anyone who can beat him will receive a 1000 yuan prize, but they need to pay a 500 yuan registration fee. However, it's only for new trainers. Several people have already gone up to challenge him, but they've all lost."

"A battle arena?" Ye Feng was intrigued. He knew that many trainers frequented the public battle arena every day, although most of them were new trainers. But if someone dared to set up a battle arena here, then that person must be very confident in their abilities.

Interesting. Ye Feng touched the Poké Ball on his chest and prepared to go up for a battle.

"Boss, do you want to go on stage?" Guo Pengfei leaned over.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled, thinking that Guo Pengfei wanted to go first. "Why don't you go first?"

"No, no, no," Guo Pengfei waved his hands repeatedly, as he was not good at battles. "What I meant was, if you're going to battle, boss, put this on your Pokémon so I can collect some data." As he spoke, he handed over a collar and then turned on his tablet.

Ye Feng took the collar and nodded.

Along the way, Ye Feng had already learned a lot about Guo Pengfei. This guy was obsessed with researching Pokémon data and then using it to develop various breeding methods. He even gave Ye Feng several breeding methods that he had developed for Growlithe.

Although Ye Feng felt these training methods were not yet mature enough and had much room for improvement, regardless of their merits, every trainer would not easily share their Pokémon training methods with anyone other than their partner. The fact that Guo Pengfei was willing to share these showed that he genuinely considered Ye Feng a friend/boss.

Since that's the case, Ye Feng wouldn't mind Guo Pengfei collecting data on his Pokémon. Besides, having Guo Pengfei analyze the data would allow him to promptly identify any errors in his training and correct them.

This is the principle of repaying someone's sincerity with sincerity.

Release Kirlia, put a collar on it, and then walk onto the field.

"Hello, new trainer Ye Feng." Ye Feng greeted him first.

“New trainer, Yao Tianjun.” Yao Tianjun nodded. “If you want to take on the challenge, please pay a challenge fee of 500 first.”

Ye Feng was taken aback: "Are you short of money?"

Yao Tianjun was silent for a few seconds, then pointed to the side: "You can pay by scanning a QR code or by cash."

Ye Feng looked in the direction Yao Tianjun was pointing and saw a box there containing several banknotes and a printed QR code.

"Prepared quite thoroughly," Ye Feng muttered to himself, then took out his phone and scanned 500 yuan.

Yao Tianjun glanced at his phone and said, "Received. Let's start the battle. You can go first."

"Do you need to take a break?"

Yao Tianjun shook his head.

Since that's the case, Ye Feng didn't hold back and commanded Kirlia to attack with Shadow Ball.

Yao Tianjun was surprised to see Kirlia throw out two Shadow Balls at the same time: "Light Screen!"

"Choo-hoo~" A transparent wall appeared in front of Magneton, blocking the Shadow Ball's attack, but it was still pushed a distance by the explosion.

"Such powerful strength." Yao Tianjun's eyes narrowed. This person already has the strength of a beginner trainer, and not just a low-level beginner.

"Magneto, 100,000 Volts!" Yao Tianjun commanded.

Magneton's body surged with electricity, and a thick bolt of lightning ripped through the air, striking Kirlia.

"Get out of the way, Shadow Ball!"

Attacks like lightning cannot be dodged by moving, as it is easy to be caught in the crossfire. Kirlia teleported to the side of Magneton and casually threw out a Shadow Ball.

"Such a fast teleportation release speed. Dodge, Electric Field!"

Magneton's three magnets, which were originally arranged in a triangle, suddenly separated from the three smaller magnets. After dodging the Shadow Ball, they came together again and then released a large amount of electricity towards the ground, instantly covering the entire area with electricity.

Faced with this attack, Kirlia had no way to avoid it. Thin currents of electricity spread from its feet all over its body, and it immediately showed a painful expression.

"Kirullian, are you alright? Use 'Steel' to defend," Ye Feng reminded her.

Kirlia nodded and immediately released "Steel" to cover her entire body, isolating her from the direct attack of the electric current. However, upon closer inspection, it could still be seen that the electric current kept flashing on the surface of "Steel", continuously eroding Kirlia's defense.

This Electric Terrain is unusually powerful; this Magneton has an exceptionally high level of mastery over Electric-type moves. And if this continues, it will be a huge burden on Kirlia.

"Strengthen your mental focus!" Ye Feng ordered.

With a burst of psychic power, it roughly pushed aside everything around Kirlia. Magneton immediately used Light Screen, and since Psychic-type moves are weak to Magneton's Steel type, it didn't suffer much damage.

However, Ye Feng's goal was not to damage Magneton, but to break the Electric Terrain barrier, and the result was just as Ye Feng expected.

But before he could relax, the ground began to flicker with the faint light of electricity again. Ye Feng looked over in confusion and found that electricity was being continuously released from Magneton's body, connecting it to the ground. This was obviously the reason why the Electric Field was restored so quickly.

Using the electric field to slow down Kirlia's speed? She has a wealth of combat experience. Ye Feng thought to himself.

Chapter 75 Magneton

Other Pokémon would definitely be forced into a passive position by this move, but Kirlia can completely ignore the continuous attacks and control of Electric Terrain. However, it is definitely not going to continue like this.

Using psychic power to create a tangible defense like "Firmness" doesn't actually consume much mental energy just for maintaining it; however, when defending against an attack, the amount of mental energy consumed increases significantly regardless of the strength of the defense, depending on the strength of the attack. As for attacks like Electric Field, while blocking them doesn't consume much mental energy, they are continuous attacks that require constant mental energy expenditure and can also distract the user.

Even if Kirlia is capable of multitasking, it's still not as effective as being fully focused on fighting. Magneton's strength is no less than Kirlia's, which effectively weakens Kirlia's overall power.

Even if we continue to forcibly break through the Electric Field, judging from Magneton's appearance, it doesn't seem too difficult to restore it. At least it's much faster than reusing the Electric Field. However, this method obviously has its weaknesses.

"Good tactics," Ye Feng said.

"Your defensive moves are also very strong. Did you develop them yourself?" Yao Tianjun's eyes flashed with admiration.

“That’s right. But your method has a fatal weakness. Kirlian, use Psychic again.” Ye Feng smiled and gave the order.

The electrical field was broken again, but this time Yao Tianjun did not allow Magneton to recharge and restore it.

Yao Tianjun sighed. When he heard Ye Feng say that he had discovered the weakness of Electric Terrain, he knew that his tactic was no longer viable. Although Magneton could recharge to restore Electric Terrain, this method consumed much more resources than using a move to spread out the field, and it couldn't be used too many times, otherwise it would greatly affect the battle.
