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

"Whoosh!!"

(Master, please teach me how to become stronger!!)

The cowardly creature adopted a posture it had somehow learned, its body slightly arched, its tentacles overlapping as if in a bow.

"Hiss?"

Looking at the timid creature, who was so serious and pleading in his eyes, Xiao Du scratched his head with his bee stinger, somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Yun, what is he doing?"

Not only Xiao Du, but Chi Duoduo, who witnessed this scene, was also somewhat puzzled.

In the past few days, he would just start a fight right away. Why is he acting so differently today?

"Perhaps he's asking for advice."

Mu Yun said.

To be honest, he didn't expect the coward to pull something like this.

A Pokémon with even less courage than a Wishiwashi, after suffering four defeats in four days, didn't think of leaving, but rather of becoming an apprentice?

Is this cowardly behavior reasonable?

Mu Yun didn't understand, but he still gestured for Xiao Du to nod.

A coward who isn't timid is just as rare as a lazy old man who isn't lazy.

Since the other party took the initiative to ask for advice, Mu Yun didn't mind observing them a little longer.

If he wasn't just having a momentary lapse of judgment, but was genuinely resilient, Mu Yun thought training an armored warrior wouldn't be a bad idea.

And so, another elf was added to the forest training program.

Interestingly, when the wind flew down from the sky and met the coward for the first time, the coward did not have the fear that insect spirits are born with, but instead bravely attacked it.

Then, with only ordinary-level strength, he was naturally slapped back by the wind.

From then on, the cowardly bug successfully achieved a five-game losing streak against all of Mu Yun's elves.

"This little guy is quite resilient!"

The day passed quickly, and Mu Yun was quite amazed to see the cowardly creature arrive early the next morning.

There really are cowardly creatures who are tenacious and fearless?

If that's the case, could he generate a special mutation enhancement trait to replace that useless trait?

If possible, this cowardly creature would be very valuable to breed.

More importantly, before evolving, he only has a base stat total of 230, but with evolution essence, he will gain an additional 270 base stat total.

Once it evolves, its base stat total will be an incredibly high 800!

Thinking about it this way, Mu Yun felt that taming a coward wasn't a bad idea.

"Coward, would you like to become my Pokémon?" Mu Yun stepped forward and asked, looking at Coward, who was preparing to train with Xiao Du.

"Whoosh?"

(Are you that strong?)

The coward didn't answer whether he was willing or not, but instead looked up at him.

"It's a little bit stronger."

Mu Yun smiled and made a gesture with his index finger and thumb.

"Splash!"

(Let's have a fight. If you win, I'll do whatever you say!)

The timid creature was eager to try.

After spending a few days here, he has fallen in love with the atmosphere of fulfilling training and battles every day.

The cowards of their own kind were so cowardly that even the armored warriors were unwilling to engage in pointless battles.

As a result, he had to sneak out of his tribe's territory every day to look for rivals.

He had encountered humans before, but they all despised him and threw him far away after defeating him.

Only this person in front of him was willing to accept him.

Therefore, he was willing to go with him.

But the prerequisite is that he is very strong!

"no problem!"

Mu Yun agreed to the coward's request without hesitation.

For most trainers, personally participating in the competition is impossible.

But coincidentally, Mu Yun was one of those few who might be among them.

"What's going on? Is this coward challenging Brother Yun?" Chi Duoduo, who had just arrived with a bear costume, asked with some confusion when she saw the coward confronting Mu Yun.

"Hmm!"

(What a brave coward!)

"The bear wearing the clothes next to me sighed."

That's Dugu's trainer, a man even more terrifying than his own trainer.

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

"You make the first move."

Mu Yun stood casually in place and waved to the coward.

"Splash!"

The cowardly insect was not polite either. Its small body swayed like a snake and came to Mu Yun's side in a few moments.

With a burst of power from its tail, it leaped into the air, and a stream of pale blue water gushed from its mouth.

Water-type move - Water Jet!

"You rush in without even using any buffing techniques? You're really something. Your personality is the complete opposite of Xiao Tie's."

As the cowardly insect, enveloped by the water, attacked, Mu Yun spoke calmly.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and punched the water.

A normal punch!

boom! ! !

Wherever the fist passed, the water instantly exploded.

Facing Mu Yun, who easily broke through his attack, the coward's big eyes showed no fear, only amazement and admiration.

What amazing humans!

"Splash!"

With a sigh, the cowardly worm leaped again, its deep purple tail suddenly flashing a dazzling white light.

Steel-type move - Metal Claw!

"Good level of proficiency."

Seeing the cowardly insect coming at him, Mu Yun sighed in admiration, and then threw another ordinary straight punch.

boom! ! !

With fists and heels overlapping, there was no moment of stiffness; just a instant of contact, and the cowardly bug was sent flying backward like a ball.

With a bang, it crashed into a thick tree trunk in the distance.

His eyes suddenly changed, and he turned into a mosquito coil and fell unconscious.

It took a while for the coward to wake up from his coma.

He then saw Mu Yun gently spraying medicine on his wounds.

"Welcome to the team, you coward!"

Seeing that the coward had woken up, Mu Yun smiled and patted his head.

It's not accurate to say it has a skull, because its body is similar to that of a reptile and it doesn't have a clearly defined head.

"Splash!"

(Master, I'll follow you from now on!)

"I'm so scared," the coward shouted earnestly.

"Where did you learn to call yourself 'Master'?"

Hearing the coward's words, Mu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Whoosh?"

(Shouldn't it be called that?)

The timid creature was somewhat bewildered.

"That works too."

Mu Yun didn't care; it was just a title, a minor issue.

[Permanent Quest 12: The goal is to become a Water Attribute Master I: Only children are greedy; even adults know to act within their capabilities. Young man, only by specializing in one thing can you directly become a master!]

[Task Requirements: Train any three Water-type Pokémon to Professional level.]

[Time Limit: None]

[Task Rewards: 3 copies of Water-type move learning materials, 3 copies of Water-type Beginner Energy Cube recipes, 1 copy of Water-type Intermediate Energy Cube recipe, Water-type Pokémon Affinity Aura (increases attraction to Water-type Pokémon), 10000 points.]

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

After taming the Cowardly Bug, I unsurprisingly triggered a water-attribute master quest.

Clearly, this is another task that will take a long time to complete.

Fortunately, the Coward also has an Insect attribute, which further advances the Insect Master quest.

In the days that followed, Mu Yun's life returned to its regular training routine.

The only change was the addition of a very warlike coward.

Despite repeated defeats, he persevered in challenging every senior member of the team.

On days like these, the coward quickly accumulated his first breakthrough point.

This is a good opportunity to check his attribute enhancement path.
