Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Chapter 43 The Little Girl with Suppressed Talent

It's not that I look down on Pokémon schools. Since Pokémon schools have existed for so long, they must have their unique advantages. They can provide the League with a large number of ordinary elite trainers.

The backbone of the league is definitely not the Elite Four champions or gym leaders, but rather a large number of elite trainers.

Elite Trainers and Gym Leaders are a very interesting dividing line; it's a very clear dividing line.

Their relationship is roughly the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

It's like in China: if you study very hard, even if you're not particularly gifted, you have a chance to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, or other top-tier universities. With a little more effort, you can find a good job and live a comfortable life. But if you don't have that kind of talent, no matter how hard you try, you won't become Einstein, and you can't become a great figure who drives human history forward!

Most ordinary trainers will stop at the elite peak and will find it difficult to break through to the gym level in their entire lives. This is indeed very unfair, but it is also a reality.

The advantage of Pokémon Academy is that it can impart relatively systematic and complete knowledge to trainers with average talent, and train them in a very systematic way. Even trainers with poor talent can truly learn something and grow.

However, the disadvantage of Pokémon academies is that for trainers with truly exceptional talent, this cramming-style education can actually inhibit their growth.

Geniuses need a vast space for imagination. Exceptional talent, extraordinary imagination, and execution are what distinguish geniuses from ordinary people. If a genius were to take things one step at a time like an ordinary person, it would only slow him down.

"Kazama-sensei, I just look younger than I am. Actually, I'm... I'm already sixteen." Zheng Yi's eyes darted around, but he still chose to lie about his age. After all, he was a little embarrassed to have just barely broken through to the Gym Leader level at the age of twenty.

"Sixteen years old, let me think." Kazama Shiromo stroked his chin thoughtfully. Actually, a sixteen-year-old Gym Leader level trainer is already quite talented. No, it should be said that anyone with the talent to break through to Gym Leader level is precious to the League. That's a hurdle, and if you can get past it, it proves that you're not mediocre.

"Tell me your understanding of battle." Kazama Shiro sat cross-legged on the grass, waving his hand to signal Justice Linran to sit down as well. He wasn't in a hurry or afraid of encountering danger, after all, the strongest Pokémon in Viridian Forest was right here, and any wild Pokémon that rushed over without thinking would just be easy prey.

"Say, say what?" With a righteous and awe-inspiring look in her starry eyes, she knelt on the grass, still somewhat nervous.

"Well, to be specific..." Kazama Shiramo stroked his chin, looking at the somewhat nervous and righteous man: "Tell me about your thoughts on the battle between Charizard and Politoed."

"If I think about it, well, in terms of type, Flying type is super effective against Fighting type, and Water type is super effective against Fire type. The type advantage between the two types is roughly even. However, if my Charizard wants to use the advantage of Flying type to counter Poliwrath, it has to get close to the opponent and launch an attack."

"That's a correct line of thinking. Although Charizard is a Flying-type, it doesn't actually have ranged Flying-type moves like Hurricane. The only way to break through is to use its wings to attack and get close."

"Hmm." Having received approval, the righteous and resolute man became even more decisive: "My Charizard is probably slightly weaker than Poliwrath in terms of strength, and in ranged attacks, Charizard, whose moves are type-advantageous, will be at a crushing disadvantage. I hope to use Charizard's flying advantage to create control and open up the situation..."

“Wait, here’s the problem.” Kazama Shiramo interrupted his righteous sermon: “This is your problem. You’re from the Pokémon Academy, aren’t you?”

"Yes, that's right... I studied at the Pokémon Academy at the beginning." Zheng Yilan seemed a little flustered, not quite understanding why Kazama Shiramo would suddenly ask this question.

"This is probably the battle strategy taught at the Pokémon Academy: when facing an opponent stronger than yourself, use various crowd control skills to weaken them and find an opportunity to strike, right?"

"Yes, it is."

“Theoretically, this is the right choice, but have you considered the actual situation?” Kazama Shiramo pushed up his non-existent tactical goggles and calmly analyzed, “Do you really think Charizard is a Pokémon suitable for controlling the battlefield?”

"Hmm... I should be able to manage it, after all, I've practiced Fear Face and Smoke Screen a lot, and I've also practiced my Fire-Breathing Oboro quite a bit." The righteous and awe-inspiring man tried to refute, but his voice kept getting softer and softer.

Kazama Shiramo glanced at the still stubborn blue-haired loli, whose pouting lips were particularly cute: "You know it's a stretch, right? Charizard is a Pokémon that focuses on speed and attack, and you actually thought of using it to control the field, especially against a Poliwrath that occupies the Water Field. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"If that Politoed were an inexperienced fighter, you might be able to put up a fight, but this Politoed is extremely experienced. From start to finish, your Charizard has been completely countered by it. Your guerrilla tactics are tantamount to a slow death."

"Then what should I do?" Zheng Yi asked earnestly.

"If it were me, I would choose to launch the fiercest attack immediately, just like Charizard's final offensive. Regardless of its other abilities, Charizard's speed advantage is something Poliwrath can never match. In martial arts, speed is the only way to break through, which is a true principle. Using Charizard's speed advantage to quickly attack Poliwrath is the most appropriate choice in this situation!" Kazama Shiramo looked at the righteous girl's little head bobbing back and forth and couldn't help but put his hand on her little head and rub it. Hmm, it feels good, comparable to Rie's.

"But Kazama-sensei, you also said that it was your choice, so what should I do?" Zheng Yilin was a little troubled. She couldn't imagine letting Charizard attack wildly from the beginning when it was at a disadvantage in terms of type.

"I don't know!" Facing the earnest and righteous girl, Kazama Shiromoto honestly told her that he didn't know the answer either, and no one else would know the answer.

P.S. It was worth staying up all night until my laptop died; I can finally update on schedule again.

P.S. As for your monthly votes and recommendations, well, you know what I mean.

Chapter 44 The Road Ahead

"Even you don't know?" His righteous expression showed some disappointment.

Kazama Shiramo patted her head, feeling very comfortable: "Some things you can only find on your own. The Pokémon Academy has taught you a lot of knowledge, which is a good thing. It makes you very comfortable in dealing with ordinary battles, but at the same time, it has also suppressed your potential."

"When you encounter a battle, you habitually put yourself into the scenario taught to you at the Pokémon Academy and make the most standard response."

"Isn't this better?"

"Yes, it's not good for you." Kazama Shiramo earnestly comforted the righteous loli: "Your talent is actually quite good, but these rules and regulations have restricted your thinking and your potential, preventing you from using more imaginative ideas to break through these norms, which is why you have been unable to break through for a while."

"Then what should I do?"

"Find yourself!" Kazama Shiromo lightly flicked her forehead: "I grant your request. I will temporarily accept you as my disciple."

"Really?" Her righteous and radiant eyes began to sparkle, indicating her extraordinary excitement.

“Yes, that’s right.” Kazama Shiramo stroked the righteous dog’s head, feeling a little excited. “But I won’t teach you too much, because everyone’s fighting style is different. Even master and disciple who have been in the same lineage since childhood will have differences.”

"If I teach you too many fighting techniques, you might be influenced by my fighting habits. In the short term, it may seem to allow you to grow rapidly during this period, but in the long run, it will be extremely detrimental to you in shaping your own fighting style system."

"So I won't teach you too much, I'll just give you some guidance and let you explore the path that suits you. Entering the dojo level means entering a completely new field, and you must quickly develop your own style."

"So how can I quickly establish my own style?" Zheng Yilan began to think, his eyes shining like little stars.

"The simplest way is to study a single attribute. Although it has obvious drawbacks, it is the quickest and simplest method." Kazama Shiramo stroked his chin thoughtfully. "For example, do you remember Lt. Surge, the current Gym Leader of Vermilion City?"

"That gym leader? His Electric-type Pokémon are incredibly strong." Zheng Yilan, who had challenged the Vermilion City Gym, still had a very deep impression of that gym leader.

"Lt. Surge's style is very distinctive. Frenzy, violence, speed and power are characteristics of many Electric-type Pokémon, and Lt. Surge amplifies these characteristics. This is very much in line with his tough-guy style of fighting. He uses ferocious Electric-type attacks to violently destroy his opponents, making his strength quite outstanding among Gym Leaders."

"So you want me to emulate Mascherano and push a particular specialty to its limits?"

"No, I was just giving an example and I didn't mean for you to learn from this short-sighted and violent idiot."

"Forehead……"

Kazama Shiromo smiled and said, "If I had to give you an example to learn from, I think the person you should learn from the most is probably the gym leader you recently challenged—Sakaki!"

"The Gym Leader of Viridian City... Uncle Giovanni?" Zheng Yi tilted his head in thought, but he couldn't imagine what was so interesting about that uncle who used Pokémon so haphazardly.

Seemingly sensing the righteous indignation in his eyes, Kazama Shiromo smiled and said, "It's probably because you look very young that Sakaki went easy on you. Do you know Sakaki's nickname? — Sakaki of the Earth!"

"Does that mean Uncle Sakaki's strongest type is Ground?"

"No, that's not it." Kazama Shiramo smiled mysteriously: "The 'earth' in 'Giantsaki of the Earth' refers not only to Ground-type, but also Bug-type, Normal-type, and even Steel-type. These are all areas that Giovanni is very good at!"

"Wow, that unassuming uncle is actually so amazing?" Zheng Yilan was slightly shocked.

Of course he's amazing. There are some things Kazama Shiramo can't say to the righteous little loli. If Lt. Surge's strength is only considered mid-to-upper tier among gym leaders, then Giovanni's strength is truly in the Elite Four realm. In fact, Kazama Shiramo thinks that among the Kanto Elite Four, only Lance, the Flying-type Elite Four member, can completely defeat Giovanni if ​​a real battle breaks out.

"That's how amazing he is." Kazama Shiramo felt the same satisfaction as when someone brags and sees the other person's shocked expression: "Compared to Lt. Surge, Giovanni's strength lies not only in his personal abilities as a trainer, but also in his unique training system. It's quite remarkable that with such a system, Giovanni is not afraid of challenges from trainers of any type. With his unfathomable Pokémon pool, he is confident in facing Pokémon of any type."

"So I suggest that when you develop your own unique style, you shouldn't focus too much on a single-core system, unless you have an absolute mastery of a certain system, such as the current Hoenn Champion Wallace, or the Psychic-type Gym Leader Sabrina from Saffron City. If you have that level of mastery, then you might consider a single-core system style, but..." Kazama Shiramo paused, "I've seen some of your main Pokémon, and you're obviously not the kind of trainer who specializes in a certain type."

"So what should I do now?" Her righteous expression was very serious. According to this cheap teacher, she now had to start thinking carefully about her path.

"My suggestion..." Kazama Shiramo stroked his chin thoughtfully, "How about trying a mixed Water, Fire, and Grass type system? Although this style is at a disadvantage against Dragon-type Pokémon, it's enough to handle most battles. Also, if you try this system, your three main Pokémon will gradually form a fighting force after you get Charizard and Poliwrath. And although most Grass-type Pokémon are somewhat weak, their control over the field is top-notch. The theories you learned at the Pokémon Academy are actually very effective if used properly, so don't throw them away easily."

"Then, Kazama-sensei, what should I do now? Should I train a Grass-type Pokémon?"

Kazama Shiramo rolled his eyes: "Right now, you shouldn't do anything. You should take your Charizard and Poliwrath to the Pokémon Center for treatment right away!"

P.S. Second update, please vote!

P.S. I'd like to recommend Little Monster's "The Ancient Goddess Seeks a Child for a Large Sum of Money".

Young Rachel grew up to be a wicked and irresponsible mother goddess after consuming unclean human souls. To avoid becoming the "mother of the race" who spends her days and nights having children with the ancient gods, she made a deal with her older sister, the "true mother of the race".

"Either have children with humans or come back and have children with the ancient gods. You choose one. If you don't produce a thousand offspring within five hundred years, you can wait to be captured by me."

This is probably the story of an ancient goddess searching the world for someone to have a child with.

......

Kiana: My mother's love belongs only to me!

Mordred: Mother, please think carefully about the reasons for the civil war in England!

Reimu Hakurei: Mother, you have money to support other women and have children with other women, but you don't even consider leaving some money for me!

Gudako: Mom, who is that woman? Can I tear her apart with my bare hands?

This is probably also a story about a group of goddaughters preventing their stepmothers from having biological daughters.

Volume 1 of Honkai Impact 3rd is being updated (sob sob).

This is a yuri (lesbian) story.

Chapter 45 I'm Not a Lolicon

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?" Kazama Shiromo smiled as he looked at the blue-haired loli in front of him with a conflicted expression, finding it somewhat amusing.

"Teacher, my Charizard is injured, and I don't have a Pokémon that can fly right now..." Zheng Yilin looked at Kazama Shiramo somewhat embarrassedly.

Kazama Shiramo didn't think much of it. He waved his hand, and the desert dragonfly, which had already started to take off, slowly fell down. With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a strong wind. Unfortunately, this blue-haired loli was wearing pants.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Pokémon Center in Pewter City first. By the way, do you want to come back to Vermilion with me?" Kazama Shiramo helped the blue-haired loli who was walking over onto Flygon's back while asking.

"I have no problem!" she answered decisively with a righteous air. There was still a long time before the Indigo League started, and she had already obtained all eight badges. It didn't matter where she spent the rest of the time, as long as she could become stronger.

"Let's go then, first to Nibi City, hold on tight." Kazama Shiramo smiled and waved to signal that the Desert Dragonfly could take off.

The desert dragonfly nodded slightly, its enormous dragon wings flapped, and it leaped into the sky.

"Aa ...

However, a problem arose when the disciple Kazama Shiromo had just taken in behind him let out a pig-like scream, tightly wrapping his arms around Kazama Shiromo's waist and pressing against his back.

Hmm, this little girl looks very young, but I didn't expect her to be so capable. Her breasts are much bigger than Rie's, although you can't tell from her appearance...

Wait, what kind of crazy thoughts are I having? Slapping his forehead to clear his mind of those thoughts, Kazama Shiramo asked seriously, "What's wrong with you? Rinran, you should have experience flying, shouldn't you?"

"I've never experienced anything this intense before!" Zheng Yi said, looking like he was about to cry. "Usually when Charizard flies, it goes up slowly. It's never like you, teacher, suddenly charging up like that. It was so scary!"

"Oh, I get it!" Kazama Shiromo suddenly realized that when he was flying, he could protect himself with his superpowers, so it didn't matter how fast he went. But ordinary trainers like Rinran didn't have this ability, so going too fast would be a huge burden for them.

"I'm sorry, I haven't thought about this kind of question." Kazama Shiramo affectionately patted the Desert Dragonfly's neck: "Please, Desert Dragonfly, fly as smoothly as possible this time. After all, Rinran is still a child, so don't fly too fast."

The desert dragonfly turned around and very humanely touched Kazama Shiromo's white spot, giving off a sense that its long neck really allowed it to do whatever it wanted.

While it's still worth the disdain, Flygon is still flying slowly and patiently, even though this slow flight is a bit of a torment for a speed-loving Pokémon like Flygon.

The desert dragonfly slowly flapped its wings, and its vibrating song was like a lullaby before sleep, which calmed Zheng Yilan down considerably.

"Um, can you let me go now...?" Kazama Shiromo said helplessly, feeling the warmth pressed tightly against his back. A scent of a young girl mixed with a baby girl rushed to his head, making him a little uneasy.
