Pokémon: Starting with a strongman and a slacker

Page 11

The lazy otter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your current skills are limited, so focus on training three: grabbing, headbutting, and lightning-fast strike.”

"Especially the 'Lightning Flash' skill, which is both an attack and a movement skill, is very useful even in the later stages of the game. It is the skill you rely on to get close to enemies, so you need to train it to use it freely."

"do you understand?"

The lazy otter nodded.

"Alright, practice attacking the rocks, then practice moving through the trees. Let's begin!"

The lazy otter flashed and crashed into a nearby rock, using it as a target for practice.

Riolu was eager to try, its eyes filled with anticipation.

"Don't rush, it's your turn!"

"Oh!"

Hurry up, I can't wait!

So enthusiastic? I hope you won't complain about being tired later.

"Riolus, your strength lies in attacking. You excel in both physical and special attacks, and your speed is also excellent. You are not bad in other aspects either. You learned Aura Sphere early on, which made up for your weakness in ranged attacks. You can say that you are an excellent warrior."

Riolu is well-balanced in all aspects, with its attack power being particularly outstanding.

"Therefore, the combat style I've tailored for you is offensive, to seize the initiative on the battlefield, and to defeat any enemy that stands in your way!"

Leo nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Bai Jing strapped it with weights, the same forty jin.

"No matter what type of Pokémon it is, what sustains the battle is stamina, and physical constitution is of paramount importance. You cannot neglect this point."

"You don't have enough skills right now. Practice the Lightning Flash first, and I'll teach you fighting techniques, as well as the cultivation and application of wave guidance later."

Riolu's eyes lit up; waveguides were definitely the subject it most wanted to learn.

Waveguides can be improved through cultivation. When the system gifted this ability, it also instilled cultivation methods and application techniques. With Bai Jing's current waveguide cultivation level, he is more than qualified to be a mentor.

"Lu~"

With a shout, Riolu rushed out, weaving through the woods, practicing Quick Attack.

Bai Jing also strapped on weights and began practicing each move to improve his physique and fighting skills.

Chapter 13: I'll work hard to cultivate and then take you to a massage parlor!

In his spare time, Bai Jing would also keep an eye on the two elves.

After the initial excitement, the lazy otter's state became noticeably relaxed, and even being scolded didn't help much.

This guy was trying to slack off again, but at least he didn't stop, which is good enough.

Take it slow. They say it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. If you want to change someone's personality, you can only guide them slowly.

On the other hand, Riolu had a completely different attitude; it was extremely serious and its progress was also incredibly rapid.

From initial clumsiness and occasional bumps into tree trunks, to flowing smoothly and eventually transforming into a streak of light shimmering through the forest, it only took it one morning.

Bai Jing greatly admired Riolu's earnest and hardworking personality!

"Stop it, everyone!"

Two elves walked over, and the lazy otter immediately lay down on the ground and stopped moving.

On the contrary, Riolu, though panting heavily, was full of energy.

Bai Jing patted the dog's head and praised, "Very good, you really didn't disappoint me!"

Riolu squinted its eyes, very happy to receive the praise!

Bai Jing also squatted down to encourage the lazy otter.

"You did very well today, and I'm very pleased. However, I believe you can do even better because you are a better Pokémon than a pseudo-legendary one, right?"

Upon hearing this, the lazy otter sat up straight, patted its chest, and howled loudly!

Of course!

"I'm so happy that you're all doing well!"

"Given your outstanding performance, you deserve a reward!"

Bai Jing took out the elf food and energy cubes that she had prepared beforehand, as well as MooMoo brand organic milk in a large milk can.

Eat as much as you want, there's plenty!

Bai Jing chuckled as he watched the two elves wolfing down their food.

The charm of being a trainer lies in working hard alongside your Pokémon, growing stronger together, experiencing hardships and storms together, and enjoying life's beauty together, just like family!

He continued encouragingly, "If you can maintain this momentum, I can promise you that I will take you to an entertainment center for a full-service massage once a week, so you can experience all kinds of high-end services!"

"Lu?"

The newborn Riolu doesn't understand what a "massage" is!

"It's a place for massage and relaxation, with various facilities such as hot springs and amusement parks. The massage staff include not only humans, but also professionally trained elf girls!"

The lazy otter's eyes lit up at the mention of this, and he started clamoring to go to a massage parlor and have an elf girl.

"Don't worry, as long as you train hard, you'll get all of these!"

The lazy otter howled, "I'm completely on fire!"

Bai Jing took a moment to check the progress of the gem auction on his phone, and what he saw shocked him!

The price has already soared to over ten million and is still rising steadily.

"Good heavens, won't it be over 20 million by the day after tomorrow?"

Bai Jing estimated it would be around ten million, but he didn't expect it to be so much!

He underestimated the influence of the Dragon Gem. As the most powerful dragon-type monster, a gem that can enhance the power of skills is definitely something to be fought over.

After all, there is no shortage of rich people in this world, especially those dragon masters, who would not miss such a treasure.

After finishing his meal and resting, this time without Bai Jing urging him, the lazy otter started exercising on his own, his mind filled with thoughts of the elf girl.

"This guy really needs some encouragement!"

"Riolus, put down Quick Attack for now. I'll battle you and practice my fighting skills."

"Li?"

"Don't worry, you can't hurt me. You're still far from being able to do it now. You'll be much better after you evolve."

Bai Jing assumed a fighting stance and beckoned, "Come on!"

Riolu was unconvinced and threw a punch, but was captured by Bai Jing.

"Don't use all your strength; use seven parts and leave three parts, that way you'll have room to maneuver!"

"Come again!"

Riolu launched another powerful attack, but was tripped by Bai Jing and fell to the ground.

"The lower body is fundamental; how can you fight if you can't even stand firmly?"

"Come again!"

This time, Riolu was much more cautious and dared not underestimate its master again.

Using its speed to maneuver, it flashed behind Bai Jing and threw a punch!

As Bai Jing turned to dodge, she grabbed its hand and tossed it away.

"Your timing is terrible. Do you even know what it means to be quick-witted and nimble-fingered? Also, you have to leave yourself an escape route every time you make a move, or anticipate all kinds of changes before you make a move. Only then can you be truly effective!"

After several sparring sessions, Riolu was completely convinced and looked at Bai Jing with admiration.

"Cough cough~~"

Gaining a little fanboy gave Bai Jing a small sense of satisfaction.

"Don't look at me like that. I've been through the same thing since I was a kid, and you can too!"

"Oh!"

Riolu shouted, "Please teach me, Master!"

"Okay, but don't complain about being tired or in pain!"

"If you want to learn how to fight, you have to learn how to take a beating first!"

Bai Jing suddenly rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on Riolu.

The sudden attack caught Riolu off guard, and he struggled to defend himself while enduring the pain.

"Skills are learned through being beaten, and patience is also a required course!"

"Calm down, observe my movements, and learn my power generation techniques."
