Pokémon: I have no choice but to do this old thing?

Iron Warrior, a paradoxical Pokémon, is said in the original work to have a background that blends science fiction and legend elements.

It could be the product of a mad scientist's experiment, a relic of an ancient civilization, or even something from the future.

Regardless of the interpretation, it adds a layer of mystery to this Pokémon, making it a unique and powerful existence in the Pokémon world.

Master Gustav actually…

Countless questions gnawed at Zhang Jianying's heart like mischievous kittens, but he maintained a calm expression on his face, though the surprise deep in his eyes was hard to conceal.

He picked up the kettle and pretended to drink water to cover up his embarrassment.

He couldn't show that he knew this Pokémon; in Gustav's mind, there was absolutely no way he knew about the existence of Iron Warrior.

Gustav didn't seem to pay much attention to Zhang Jianying's subtle reactions; his attention was mainly on Kirulian.

"It's called Iron Warrior, and it comes from a... special journey."

Gustav's account was vague.

"It excels at imbuing fairy attributes with a sharper offensive power; it is a power that originates from the same source as you, yet is far more extreme."

Then there was silence, and Gustav seemed to be organizing his thoughts.

Zhang Jianying: "..."

That's it? That's all?

Master Gustav, you'd better explain yourself clearly!

Iron Warrior's sensor-like eyes turned to Kirlia, and it gently raised its light blade. Pink fairy energy wrapped around it like a living ribbon, seemingly soft and beautiful, yet emanating an energy fluctuation that made Kirlia instinctively feel a chill.

"Kirlian, the fairy attribute potential within you needs to be guided and activated."

Gustav's voice turned serious. "You focus too much on controlling and relying on superpowers, but you've overlooked the importance of fairy-type energy."

The Iron Warrior will teach you how to combine this energy with your exquisite superpowers, making your attacks more efficient and deadly.

Iron Warrior took a step forward and made a "please" gesture towards Kirlia.

It has no words, but its actions are the best teaching.

The Iron Warrior began demonstrating how to highly compress the fairy's energy to form a point with extremely strong penetrating power.

How to transform seemingly gorgeous but scattered magical flashes into a destructive energy tide that possesses both wide reach and destructive power.

Kirlian stared intently, her crimson eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.

It sensed the existence of another power system, a new path that perfectly matched its own attributes but could make up for its lack of offensive capabilities.

Without further hesitation, Kirlia floated up and attempted to mimic the Iron Warrior's energy manipulation method. A faint trace of energy, tinged with pink light, began to appear at its fingertips.

Watching this scene, Zhang Jianying was deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time. The appearance of Paradoxical Pokémon was like opening a door to a world of infinite possibilities before him.

This world seems to be far more vast and mysterious than he imagined.

At the same time, Zhang Jianying also gained a completely new understanding of the unfathomable depth of Gustave's teachings.

The afternoon training session became more diverse and targeted with the addition of the Iron Warriors.

Kirlian was completely immersed in the Iron Warrior's teachings.

It was no longer satisfied with the crude manipulation or simple impact of fairy-type energy, but began to try to condense and compress the energy.

The Iron Warrior stood by, using its light blade to precisely point out the flaws in its energy circulation, guiding it on how to allocate energy more efficiently, so that with the same power, it would consume less energy and have stronger penetrating power.

"The 'seeds' left by Mewtwo are the key to your quick understanding of the nature of energy."

Gustav, watching Kirlia get back on track, reminded her, "Communicate with it more during meditation; it can accelerate your understanding of superpowers and even the nature of elemental energies."

Meanwhile, the forest turtle lessons continued.

After arranging Kirlia, Gustav personally took to the field, pressing and pushing the forest turtle's massive body with his palm, guiding it on how to cleverly deflect and redirect external forces using the curvature of its shell and its own weight.

"Feel the flow of my power, don't resist, go with the flow!"

Gustav hissed, exerting force with his palm.

The forest tortoise closed its eyes tightly, fully sensing the force coming from it, and tried to turn its body slightly to the side and twist its shell.

"Ugh!"

This time, it successfully diverted most of the Gustav's thrust to its side, only swaying slightly and not even moving its feet!

"Good! Remember this feeling!"

Gustav praised, then changed the subject to another key point, "Cynthia recommended a training guide by Kikuno to me. Although it only covers basic concepts, it will be very useful for you."

Gustav called out to Zhang Jianying, who was struggling and carrying a heavy burden.

Zhang Jianying rubbed his aching back and slowly leaned over, lost in thought.

"Kikuno, that Ground-type Elite Four member from the Sinnoh region?"

He only knew that this Heavenly King was extremely powerful, but he didn't know exactly how powerful.

Gustav seemed to see through his curiosity, and while instructing the forest turtle, he casually said, "That old woman Kikuno is gentle and doesn't like fighting. Otherwise, with her understanding of the earth and that hippo king that can be called a 'moving mountain,' it wouldn't be so easy for Cynthia to take the champion's seat."

A simple sentence reveals Kikuno's championship-caliber strength and the invaluable nature of her training insights.

"Wow, a golden legend!"

A discordant sound seemed to echo in Zhang Jianying's ears.

"Kikuno's core philosophy is to let Pokémon take root in the earth and resonate with it."

Gustav told the forest tortoise, "You haven't evolved yet and can't truly possess ground attributes, but you need to lay the foundation in advance. Your grassy field is more than just healing. Try to see it as a bridge connecting you to the earth, and feel the immense life energy deep within it."

Gustav tossed the booklet to Zhang Jianying, instructing him to study it carefully before teaching the forest turtles.

"When Torterra evolves into a true Ground-type Pokémon, it will be able to draw almost limitless energy from the earth, just like Kikuno's ace, gaining unimaginable resilience and allowing it to withstand even fiercer attacks, becoming the team's strongest bulwark! At the same time, this deep connection with the earth will also give it greater explosive power and priority when using 'Grass Glide' in the future!"

The forest tortoise seemed to understand, but it could sense that a completely new system was unfolding before it.

It growled, straining even more to feel the pulse of the earth beneath its feet, the bushes on its back radiating an even richer glow of life, attempting to establish a deeper connection with the land beneath its feet.

Actually, Turtle had another idea in his heart: to avenge his previous humiliation.

I once spent half a day working with my trainer in a mine and found nothing, even mistaking a broken rock for a treasure…

Once I learn how to use this Heavenly King's manual, I'll definitely be able to dig tunnels much faster.

You must persuade the trainers who swore they would never mine again to go to the Underground World again and dig "hundreds" of times. They're sure to find something good!

The forest tortoise proudly shook its large head, as if flames were burning behind it.

Zhang Jianying felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the turtle suddenly burst into flames. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for a fleeting moment, he felt a faint waveguide warning.

He looked around suspiciously, feeling that "someone" wanted to persecute him, an ordinary trainer!
