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

The banks of the Songjiang River.

A cool breeze was blowing, and waves were constantly lapping against the shore.

A petite and adorable girl, like a koala, clung tightly to the arms of a tall boy.

Its soft body twitched slightly from time to time with the sound of the waves.

"Luckily, my physique level has improved!"

Hearing the roar of the surging river behind him, Mu Yun secretly rejoiced.

Sure enough, prioritizing physical fitness was the right choice; otherwise, I might get carried away by Duoduo with a bear hug later on.

[Renowned trainer, breeder, and researcher, Mr. Mu Yun, tragically died from internal organ rupture while embracing a woman...]

This title is just infuriating.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was fragile...

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Mu Yun looked down at Chi Duoduo, who was lying on his chest like a kitten, her face flushed and her eyes glistening with tears. He gently rubbed her little head.

Chi Duoduo is clearly very strong, but she is very light, as light as a ball of cotton.

Even before Mu Yun's physique improved, he could still easily lift him up.

Not to mention, his physical level has now reached the elite level.

What puzzled Mu Yun was that, although his weight had reached a non-human level as his physique level increased, why did Duo Duo, who was stronger, have the weight of a normal person?

Is this scientific?

Mu Yun was puzzled and didn't understand.

Could it be that this is also the power of the Alpaca God?

But Duoduo isn't an elf...

Mu Yun knew almost everything about her life from childhood to adulthood, and naturally knew that she had never encountered anything strange.

There were none of those, such as the magical old lady or the kind-hearted mythical beast that passed by.

Aside from the negative impact of her ever-growing superhuman strength, Duoduo's life trajectory is basically the same as that of other little girls.

"Brother Yun, I miss you so much!"

Chi Duoduo's delighted whimper pulled Mu Yun back to reality. She was like a kitten that hadn't seen its owner in a long time, cuddling and acting spoiled.

As she moved, Mu Yun felt a soft, yielding sensation covering most of his chest.

Because both of them were in excellent physical condition, they were still dressed very lightly even in autumn.

In their tight embrace, Mu Yun could even feel their body heat exchanging.

Mu Yun didn't blush at this, after all, Duo Duo always hung around his neck like this every time they met, and he was already used to it.

"What are you doing here? Did you come with your master?"

Mu Yun gave Wang He an apologetic look. After seeing Wang He wave his hand to indicate that there was no rush, he carried Chi Duoduo to a rock and asked softly.

Based on the name Lü Shouchun and her appearance, Mu Yun quickly guessed why Chi Duoduo was here.

Like him, he was likely brought along as a bystander.

No, to be precise, he was preparing to take action, and Duoduo was supposed to be an observer.

After all, the Bear is a melee-oriented Pokémon, and it's not suitable for it to make a move on this vast river.

"Well, Master said I should train a bit, and also let Tongtong and Yaya experience what it's like to battle a large group of wild Pokémon," Chi Duoduo said softly.

Tongtong? Yaya?

Mu Yun could roughly guess that the former was probably a nickname for the teddy bear, but who was Ya Ya?

Farfetch'd? It can't be Psyduck, can it...?

Just as Mu Yun was thinking, Chi Duoduo took her hand off Mu Yun's back, reached into her waist pouch and took out two Poké Balls.

Awesome! *2

As two voices rang out, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of Mu Yun.

The shorter one has a pink body and black limbs, and looks just like a teddy bear. It is the initial spirit that Chi Duoduo's master gave her - the teddy bear!

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Normal + Fighting]

[Level: 24 (Senior)]

【Trait: Alluring Body (When attacking, sometimes it will inflict an alluring state on any opponent it touches)】

[Items to bring: Perseverance Boxing Stance (Intermediate)]

[Potential: Dojo Level]

[Racial stats: 340]

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

"Level 24?"

Looking at the data panel of the teddy bear, Mu Yun was slightly taken aback.

If he remembered correctly, the birth dates of this teddy bear and Xiao Du were around the same time, and even after Xiao Du had leveled up several times, it was only level 26.

Unexpectedly, Tong Ou Xiong's level was only two levels lower than Xiao Du's, far exceeding the other students in the small class.

Is it the effect of that intermediate-level secret treasure?

Thinking about it, Mu Yun looked at the items carried by the teddy bear.

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

[Perseverance Fist Stance (Intermediate): A special amplification artifact. Formed from a high-quality tree under special power, this object resembles a wooden stake. When carried for an extended period, Fighting-type Pokémon below Gym level can accelerate level progression, speed up the learning of contact moves, and increase physical defense.]

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

The intermediate-level treasure that accelerates growth is a level higher than Zhao Hailong's grinding stone bead; no wonder his level increased so quickly.

Unfortunately, none of the three Pokémon he had were Fighting-type; otherwise, he could have exchanged one for a discount coupon once he got it.

After looking at the teddy bear's panel, Mu Yun looked at the figure next to her who was more than twice her height.

With a well-proportioned body, snow-white feathers covering her skin, and hair that is the deep blue of the ocean, her hands and tail are also covered with deep blue feathers, making her look like a gorgeous dancer about to take the stage.

[Pokémon: Leap Duck]

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: 22 (Senior)]

【Trait: Overconfidence (Defeating an opponent greatly increases confidence and boosts attack by 50%)】

【Moves: See Through, Perch, High-Speed ​​Spin, Slap, Cry, Water Gun, Self-Motivation, Wing Attack, Water Jet, Double Strike, Water Pulse, Low Kick, Water Blade】

【Item Carried: Water-Containing Shell Pearl (Intermediate)】

[Potential: Dojo Level]

[Racial stats: 410]

【Water-Containing Pearl (Intermediate): A special amplification-type treasure. This pearl-like item is formed from the essence of a high-level Water-type Pokémon under the influence of a special power. If a Water-type Pokémon carries it for a long time, it can accelerate its leveling speed, speed up the learning of Water-type moves, and enhance its control over Water-type energy.】

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

Mudduck, one of the three starter Pokémon of the Water type, evolves into the Water/Fighting type Carnival Duck. It excels in close combat, possesses incredible strength in its core and waist, and has outstanding stamina, making it a very powerful Pokémon.

However, what concerned Mu Yun the most was that this Leaping Duck was also quite high in level, reaching level 22.

It's obviously because, like the Doll Bear, she has a mid-level spirit treasure that accelerates growth.

So this is the treatment of disciples of the Elite Four: not only do they have Pokémon with the potential of a Gym Leader, but they are also equipped with intermediate-level Pokémon treasures to accelerate their growth.

It's practically on par with the setup of that Heavenly King's grandson that I encountered in the Qingyun Arena before.

Indeed, in any world, having someone to guide you saves a lot of effort.

Even Mu Yun wouldn't have been able to gain a large number of breakthrough points so quickly without Wang He's nut dumbbells.

All I can say is that Duoduo is lucky. If she hadn't become an apprentice of Lü Shouchun, she would probably still be worrying about the college entrance exam right now.
