Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

Most of these fighting moves can be imitated by other Pokémon, but a little thought reveals that the effects are completely different from those of the bear apprentice.

This is due to the physical structure of this elven race, so this is a fighting move exclusively for the bear's apprentice!

He truly deserves the title of Fighting King; he was able to glean so much from just one demonstration by his apprentice.

Based on the moves made by both sides, Shi Heng secretly deduced in his mind that if Xiong's apprentice and the rogue panda were at the same level, the rogue panda would probably have been defeated long ago.

How did Ye Chen come up with such bizarre fighting techniques? Did he create them for his disciple Xiong?

The idea was immediately rejected by Shi Heng. Ye Chen was just a Pokémon researcher. How could he possibly create such a powerful fighting move that was so well suited to a Pokémon like Kuma-no-Kara? If this were in ancient times, he would have been a master who could have founded a school of thought!

Then there is only one possibility: this is a fighting style that Xiong's apprentice developed himself based on his own conditions.

This is terrible!

This bear apprentice looks quite young, yet he's managed to devise a fighting style that suits him so well!

Chapter 162 The Power of Will!

Shi Heng's eyes lit up instantly when he thought of this. What Fighting-type trainer wouldn't be envious of such a Pokémon?

If Ye Chen hadn't already tamed this elf, he would have really wanted to tie up his bear apprentice on the spot and take him home. Forget about feelings, couldn't he just take him home and train him slowly?

At this moment, Shi Heng felt exactly the same way as Yi Yun, the Dragon King.

What a waste!

How come such a promising Pokémon ended up with a Pokémon researcher?

At this moment, Ye Chen had already put away the Mega Evolution Stone and came to the backyard to see how Shi Heng was instructing his bear apprentice. As soon as he arrived, he saw his bear apprentice and a huge rogue panda fighting each other.

The battle between the two Pokémon is not about going back and forth, with each of them throwing punches. Usually, the panda can't even touch the bear apprentice. So, it's more like the bear apprentice dodging the opponent's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Ye Chen scanned the Rogue Panda's strength with the system and saw that it was at the early stage of the Heavenly King realm. However, what puzzled him was that the Rogue Panda's movements could not keep up with his bear apprentice.

Upon seeing Ye Chen arrive, Shi Heng ordered the two elves to stop fighting. This was originally a test he had conducted to see if his bear apprentice had any basic fighting skills. Now that the result was obvious, there was no need to continue the test.

"King Shi, how's your disciple Xiong's foundation? Please give him more guidance where he's lacking!"

Ye Chen's words were his true thoughts. In his opinion, Shi Heng, as a fighting king, was definitely more professional than him. Although he was also training his bear disciples according to the martial arts bear master race's tradition, there were bound to be omissions. Moreover, there was a difference between the wild and the modern city.

To give a simple example, wild Urshifu practitioners don't have weighted training suits that can adjust the gravity multiplier themselves; these are things that humans have developed through technology, and these technological creations are undoubtedly more beneficial for Pokémon training.

Therefore, the training of Xiong's apprentices cannot be done by simply following the traditional methods; it must also be considered in light of the actual circumstances.

However, Shi Heng found these words extremely awkward. "Please give me more guidance?" he asked. "What can I give you guidance on? My apprentice Xiong is still young and the most important thing right now is to build a solid foundation. But he is impeccable in both physical condition and skills. I have nothing to teach him at all!"

No!

We can't let this guy underestimate us!

Otherwise, people will think I, the Fighting King, don't have any real skills. Besides, with this bear disciple's aptitude, he should have no problem learning this now.

Thinking of this, Shi Heng remained calm and said with the composure of a master, "This elf has good talent and a solid foundation, but 'fighting' is not that simple."

"Since I've met this Pokémon today, it's quite a coincidence. What I'm about to say is truly the secret of Fighting-type Pokémon. I'll only explain it once; how much it can understand depends entirely on its comprehension."

"Fighting-type ultimate technique?" Ye Chen said in a low voice. This sounded strange and didn't seem like a term that should appear in the Pokémon world.

Shi Heng continued, “Since ancient times, our Xia Kingdom has been full of martial virtues, and there are countless people who practice martial arts, including many grandmasters. As their martial arts level improves, they gradually discover that the contest between the two sides is not only about their physical strength and martial arts skills, but also about their will.”

"In ancient times, there was a concept called 'qi,' but now there are many different interpretations of 'qi.' Some say it refers to the rhythm of breathing, while others say it is a mysterious power. But in fact, only those who truly practice martial arts know that 'qi' refers to the power of will, or rather, the spiritual power of each person!"

"With the arrival of the Pokémon, martial arts masters discovered that Fighting-type Pokémon were particularly suited to them. So they incorporated the guidance of this 'ki' into the training of the Pokémon, allowing them to master this power as well. At this point, you must be wondering what the power of will is. Let me have Rogue Panda demonstrate it for you."

After finishing speaking, the rogue panda first took off his weighted training suit, and then slowly closed his eyes to meditate.

Suddenly, the rogue panda opened its eyes wide, and its aura changed abruptly.

If it previously gave people the feeling of being unruly and untamed, then now it exudes righteousness!

Ye Chen silently activated his Aura Force. The Rogue Panda released a power from within, which then obediently attached itself to its body. This power was also a type of mental power, but it was far inferior to the Aura Force in terms of its power level.

However, it is obvious that after the rogue panda uses this power, its strength far exceeds that of its normal state, which shows just how much this power can enhance combat!

Not only Ye Chen saw this scene, but Xiong's apprentice also saw it.

"Although the Rogue Panda looks fierce, it actually has a heart full of righteous enthusiasm, so when it uses this power to assist in battle, it gives people a feeling of righteousness."

"However, awakening this power is not so simple. The spirit's heart needs to be strong enough to resonate with the power of will. Only when this power is awakened can it be successfully awakened. And when the spirit uses it to assist in battle, the power of will can directly reveal the spirit's true heart."

"Well? Do you understand the power of willpower now?"

Ye Chen and his apprentice Xiong nodded repeatedly.

Shi Heng continued with satisfaction, "Then I will explain how to awaken the power of will..."

As Shi Heng explained, Ye Chen's understanding of the power of will gradually deepened. In fact, it was a method of using mental power to enhance attacks.

....... ......... .......

With the power of will attached, every move of the elf will have greater power. Ye Chen had never heard of this method of enhancing the strength of elves before.

But thinking about it, it's normal. Doesn't the Elf World also have a tradition like the "Bear Martial Fist Technique" that far surpasses human imagination? It's not incomprehensible that the Xia Kingdom, with its five thousand years of history, would develop a method for using mental power.

"Phew~ I'm finally done!"

Looking at Ye Chen and Xiong's blank expressions, Shi Heng said smugly, "You don't need to worry. Awakening the power of will is extremely difficult. Many fighting spirits have not been able to awaken it even when they reach the Elite Four level. This has little to do with the spirit's strength, but rather tests whether the spirit's heart is strong enough."

He had just finished speaking when suddenly the bear disciple in front of him changed his demeanor abruptly!

Originally, the bear apprentice was cute and adorable because of its small size, but now the bear apprentice exudes an aura that leaves everyone with only one thought.

Perseverance!

"This...how is this possible?!" Shi Heng was so shocked that he lost control of his expression!

He had never seen any elf awaken the power of will so quickly, but the power fluctuations of will emanating from his bear apprentice proved that it was true!

The rogue panda standing to the side also looked at the little guy in front of him with a look of surprise. He had only listened to the explanation once and immediately awakened. This was simply unheard of!

However, just as they were surprised, another figure beside them also faintly emitted fluctuations of willpower!

Chapter 163 Geniuses really can do whatever they want!

Because both Shi Heng and the Rogue Panda have awakened the power of will, they can sense the fluctuations of will power.

This fluctuation of power is not something that everyone can sense. For those who have not yet awakened or for elves, they can at most vaguely feel that something is different.

Before Shi Heng and the Rogue Panda could recover from their shock, Ye Chen, who was standing next to them, also began to emanate waves of willpower.

"You... how did you awaken too?!"

Shi Heng was extremely astonished. Xiong's apprentice's awakening could be explained as a gift, but how could you, a "797" type, awaken after only hearing it once?

The reason why those martial arts masters tried to awaken the power of will in Pokémon was because it was extremely difficult for humans to do so. And the final result was exactly as they predicted. Although it was still difficult for Fighting-type Pokémon to awaken, it was much simpler than for humans. Moreover, the bonuses that Pokémon gained from using the power of will were much higher!

The facts have long proven that times have changed!

Even if a human awakens their willpower, their combat strength is at most comparable to that of a senior-level elf, far below the upper limit of an elf.

This is the age of elves!

No matter how strong humans are, they cannot fight against Pokémon, which is why the profession of Pokémon Trainer gradually developed.

Shi Heng's martial arts prowess is undeniable, but even he went through many hardships and only awakened his willpower after finally understanding his true nature. This shows how difficult it is for humans to master supernatural powers.

But how could Ye Chen awaken after only hearing it once?

Ye Chen clenched his fist and exclaimed in surprise, "I really feel a lot stronger! This willpower is amazing!"

The apprentice nodded in agreement.

Shi Heng asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"

"What? How do you do that? By awakening the power of will?"

"if not?"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "I followed your method and awakened it without even realizing it. Was it that difficult?"

Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled expression, Shi Heng's breath hitched, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Was this even human language?

Shi Heng recounted his experience: "After my master taught me the method, I diligently practiced martial arts, but after several years, I still did not show any signs of awakening. It wasn't until I was in a desperate situation during a mission that I finally became determined and successfully awakened my inner self."

The more difficult things were for her back then, the more aggrieved she felt seeing Ye Chen awaken so easily!

This is so unfair! Does being a genius really mean you can do whatever you want?

The awakening of willpower relies heavily on the strength of the mind. It would be an exaggeration to say that Ye Chen's mind is stronger than the strength that Shi Heng achieved through his trials of life and death.

How did he awaken?

In truth, he hadn't awakened the power of will. The power of will is a type of mental power, and the wave-guiding power wielded by Ye Chen and his disciple Xiong is also a mental power, but its level far surpasses that of willpower...

Therefore, after learning about the method of awakening the power of will, Ye Chen immediately deduced the method of using the power of wave guide to replace the power of will, and used the power of wave guide to guide his apprentice Xiong to complete the first awakening.

According to his estimation, although Xiong's apprentice only had the strength of the early stage of advanced level, he was almost unmatched in the advanced level.

Shi Heng said regretfully, "If it weren't for your amazing research skills, I would have wanted to take you as my disciple and pass on all my knowledge to you. It's such a pity."

He also knew how important Ye Chen's research skills were to the Xia Kingdom Alliance, and that it was impossible for him to learn fighting techniques from him, which was why he felt regretful.
