Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"What an exceptionally gifted Beedrill!"

Inside the gymnasium, Wang He watched as Xiao Du became increasingly skilled at using the cross-cutting shears and couldn't help but sigh.

Although it wasn't his first time watching it, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart whenever he thought about how Xiao Du was just a high school senior's initial spirit.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Beedrill will undoubtedly take first place in the end-of-month assessments for all seniors.

But there's nothing we can do about it. With Beedrill's current stats, even among its peers in the provincial capital, it's practically second to none.

Unless a highly skilled individual intervenes, even a pseudo-legendary Pokémon at the Normal level would likely be no match for Beedrill.

Perhaps he should make some adjustments to the training plan for Mu Yun, adding more practical training in addition to the most basic training, so as to gradually increase his combat experience.

You can't find one of the same level; you have to find a senior-level Pokémon.

After all, as the level increases, no one can guarantee that Beedrill will always maintain stats far exceeding those of other beedrill at the same level.

When the data is similar, extensive combat experience becomes essential.

"By the way, are you free next weekend?"

That evening, after finishing a day of training, Wang He suddenly asked.

"Yes, Instructor Wang," Mu Yun replied.

He trains at school on Saturdays and Sundays, so he naturally has free time.

"Alright, after the end-of-month assessment next week, the school will give you three days off. I'll take you somewhere then," Wang He nodded and said.

"Okay, what do I need to prepare in advance?"

"No, cough cough, just bring a change of clothes, three days' worth of food and energy cubes, I'll prepare the rest for you."

Wang He instinctively wanted to say no, but thinking of Mu Yun's cooking skills, he changed the subject and said...

It wasn't that he was greedy; he was mainly worried that Steel Crow and Nut Dumbbell would get greedy, and if they didn't get snacks for three days, the two of them would throw a tantrum.

As for Steelix, it's too big. Even if Wang He wanted to feed it, it would have to be big enough for it to eat. Ordinary food wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth, let alone taste it.

"Okay, Instructor Wang," Mu Yun replied knowingly.

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

After leaving school, Mu Yun didn't rush home. Instead, he went to the Asia-Europe Supermarket, bought some fruit and vegetables, and then rode to Song Xiaomeng's house.

Around noon, Song Fu sent him a message saying that he had brought him some local specialties from out of town and invited him to come over for dinner that evening.

Mu Yun readily agreed.

It's a pity that Xiaomeng is going back to Changqing City on Wednesday because of school, otherwise he would have definitely given her another massage to show that the last time was just a small accident.

Soon, Mu Yun arrived at Song Fu's building on a shared bicycle.

"Here you are, Xiaoyun!"

Upon opening the door, one was greeted by Song Fu, whose skin had darkened considerably and whose large belly had shrunk considerably.

"Uncle Song, did you go to Africa to teach?" Mu Yun asked curiously as he put the fruits and vegetables he had bought in the kitchen.

"I'm not from any continent. I'm going to your province, a mountainous area bordering Hunan province. I don't know what the principal was thinking, sending us there for study and exchange. We can't eat or sleep well. If it weren't for Zhuzhu, I think the mosquitoes would have driven me crazy." Song Fu complained helplessly.

Fortunately, this exchange only lasted two weeks, so we could just bear with it and it would pass.

"By the way, this is a great find I got from a local villager, it's perfect for you."

As he spoke, Song Fu pulled a wooden box out of his suitcase.

The box was very ordinary, without any patterns or carvings. It looked like it was made from local wood that had been cut, polished, and dried. You could even see traces of natural tree sap used for bonding in the gaps.

It really does look like packaging used by local villagers.

Under normal circumstances, you can't buy this kind of thing unless you go to the local area.

"It's said that the village used to have a very skilled Poison-type Pokémon trainer. These pills are made using their family's secret recipe. I figured your Beedrill's secondary type isn't Poison, so they'd come in handy and I bought some."

As he spoke, Song Fu opened the wooden box.

Inside the wooden box was a row of spherical objects wrapped in red cloth and oil paper. After opening the red cloth and oil paper, there was an amber-colored shell that resembled honey, and inside the shell were black pills.

Mu Yun subconsciously activated his Data Eye and looked over.

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

[Poison-Tempering Pill: A highly poisonous tonic made from ingredients containing poisonous energy, such as sap of the hyacinth and blanchy sedge. It cannot be consumed by non-Poison-type Pokémon. Long-term consumption by Poison-type Pokémon can slightly increase the toxicity of the poison.]

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

Poison-enhancing pills? To increase the toxicity of toxins?

Mu Yun was taken aback when he saw the information on the black pill.

Unexpectedly, besides the Spirit Treasure, there are other things that can enhance the Spirit's combat power.

That makes sense, though. In the real world, besides creatures like elves, there are also many normal plants and animals, insects, and even highly toxic herbs.

These things, when properly combined, can certainly become supplements.

"After I got back, I asked a friend to test it. It turned out to be a supplement that is good for Poison-type Pokémon. However, it is not advisable to take too much at once. One a day is the maximum."

After saying that, Song Fu closed the wooden box and handed it to Mu Yun.

When Song Fu heard the locals promoting their wares, he immediately thought of Mu Yun's giant Beedrill.

That Beedrill doesn't have much potential and is destined not to become a mainstay in the first tier in the future, but if properly nurtured, it won't be useless in the future.

For example, his secondary attribute is poison!

If properly nurtured, it might just produce remarkable results.

Mu Yun: It really works wonders!

After putting away the poison pills, Mu Yun went to the kitchen to cook dinner. The two of them and the four elves enjoyed a delicious meal before Mu Yun took his leave.

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

"Poison-refining pills cost 10 points each, not cheap..."

Back home, Mu Yun opened the points redemption shop to check the price of the poison pills.

There were ten poison pills in the wooden box, which, based on the previously calculated exchange rate, would cost approximately 10,000 Alliance coins.

Uncle Song was really good to him. He took care of him at school and even thought of him when he went on business trips.

I don't know what I can do to repay him...

"Awoo?"

Seeing the slight furrow in Mu Yun's brows, Bingbing raised her little foot and placed it on his chest, her pink little tongue gently licking Mu Yun's cheek.

The humid heat brought Mu Yun back to his senses. He looked at Bingbing, who seemed to be comforting him, and smiled as he patted her little head.

Forget it, there's no use thinking about it now. I'm still just a student who hasn't graduated yet. The most important thing right now is to work harder and harder!

It's decided, let's first enhance Xiao Du's potential!

"Xiao Du, come here for a second!"

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Du, who was watching TV, flapped its wings and arrived in front of Mu Yun.

Mu Yun stretched out his other hand and placed it on Xiao Du's smooth head.

"Tongzi, enhance Xiaodu's potential!"

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

[Ding! Beedrill (Little Lone) has been detected to be at the Elite level. Upgrading it to the Overlord level requires 5 Breakthrough Points. Would you like to upgrade it?]

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

"promote!"

Mu Yun silently recited this in his heart.

In an instant, the boundless starry sky was revealed once more, and a breathtaking array of stars twinkled above Xiao Du's head.

Soon, a giant bee made of stars suddenly appeared.

The giant bee silently raised its dazzling stinger, pointing it directly at the little bee under the starry sky.

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

[Ding! Consumed 5 Limit Break Points, Beedrill's potential value has been increased. Current potential: Overlord level!]

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

[Ding! During its potential enhancement process, Beedrill seems to have gained a new understanding of Bug-type energy and has learned the move U-turn!]

[Ding! With the blessing of a special insight, Beedrill's proficiency with the move U-turn has improved. Current proficiency level: Mastered!]

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

【Rapid Return (Mastery, 0/100): Skill casting speed +100%, own flight speed +50% during skill use.】

[U-turn: A Bug-type physical attack move. The user envelops themselves in Bug-type energy and attacks the opponent at lightning speed. After hitting the target, the user can choose to return to their Poké Ball.]

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

[Ding! During its potential enhancement process, Beedrill seems to have gained a new understanding of poison-type energy and has learned the move—Venom Impact!]

[Ding! With the blessing of special enlightenment, Beedrill's proficiency with the move - Venom Impact has improved. Current proficiency level: Mastered!]

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

[Venom Impact (Mastery, 0/100): Venom toxicity +100%, venom corrosion speed +50%.]

[Venom Impact: A Poison-type Special Attack move that sprays liquid toxins at the opponent, dealing double damage to Pokémon already infected with toxins.]

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

[Ding! Beedrill's level has increased to level 19!]

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

As the starry sky light curtain dissipated, a series of notification sounds rang in Mu Yun's mind.

Mu Yun only glanced at the improvement in potential and level, and didn't pay much attention to it.

What caught his attention were the two new moves that Xiao Du had just mastered.

Rapid Reversal and Venomous Impact!

A friend suddenly asked me to go out for lunch, so I only managed to write two chapters. I'll check the situation tonight, and if I'm too late, I'll try to finish them tomorrow!

that's all.
