Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 421 The Metamorphosis of the Golden Carp

After carefully putting the props into the warehouse, Akai breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Shuwen inspected the goods and signed for them, the police officer saluted and said, "Now that the goods have been delivered, we'll be leaving."

Crescent Moon, having come from the prop village, knew the prices of these props best. Her eyes lit up, "Master, we're rich!"

"The energy essence and training equipment combined are worth over ten million, plus five million Alliance Coins. By next year at the latest, Master will definitely be one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Li Shuwen took out the energy essence and gave a bottle to all the Pokémon except Eevee, Bangelion, and Magikarp.

I'm terrified of being poor!

Li Shuwen was worried about wasting the hard-won effects of the energy essence, so he decided to let Eevee, Bagon, and Magikarp train for a while longer before giving it to them.

Li Shuwen will not share the energy essence belonging to them with other Pokémon.

After drinking the energy essence, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragons stopped eating and continued training.

Li Shuwen patted Eevee and Baby Dragon's heads and said, "Don't worry, once your physical condition reaches the required level, I'll give you the Energy Essence as soon as possible!"

Ibuki raised its head, "Ibuki!"

Baby Dragon has been in the gym for so long, and he has become much smarter. He has gradually shed his naivety as a baby and has begun to have the idea of ​​becoming stronger.

The bloodline from his warlike mother began to awaken within the baby dragon's body.

Now, besides flying, Baby Dragon also has a desire to fight.

"Nei ne!"

As for Magikarp, he felt it was normal that he didn't have any energy essence.

After all, he didn't enjoy training or fighting as much as Kommo-o.

Magikarp became stronger simply because he didn't want to lose to Goblin; he didn't have the same kind of rigorous training spirit as everyone else.

Li Shuwen gives him energy essence, but Magikarp might actually think that Li Shuwen wants to harm him.

Li Shuwen rubbed Magikarp's iron forehead. "Magikarp, how about we arrange for you to battle Goblin again this afternoon?"

Magikarp's eyes immediately sharpened, and it frantically thrashed its tail, "Kiss~"

Magikarp had long wanted to have another decisive battle with Goblin, but Li Shuwen had gone to Mount Tianguan to train Electivire some time ago.

I've been busy preparing for the dojo assessment lately, which allowed the lobster soldier to escape unscathed.

However, the extended battle time allowed Magikarp to learn two special moves!

Magikarp is full of confidence; the tiny lobster soldiers will surely be utterly defeated by his two ultimate moves.

When Kai heard that the Lobster and Magikarp were going to have a duel that afternoon, he was even more excited than the Lobster.

"Youth, let it burn!"

Crescent Moon shook her head, holding the shy bud, and tried to stay as far away from Akai as possible.

She doesn't have this senior brother, at least not now.

The same green martial arts uniform for women, worn by Xinyue, exudes youthful energy, completely lacking the...youthfulness of Akai.

Before the challengers arrived, Akai and Li Shuwen stood on opposite sides of the pool.

"Kai, you go first."

Akai nodded, "Then I won't hold back, Lobster Soldier, a sneak attack on vitals!"

The lobster soldier's claws gleamed black, and with a flick of its tail, a large splash of water erupted in the pool.

The lobster soldiers shot towards Magikarp like arrows released from a bow.

Li Shuwen waved his hand and commanded, "Magikarp, Jump!"

As the lobster soldier swung its pincers, Magikarp suddenly flicked its tail and flew nearly ten meters out of the water.

Then it plummeted, crashing headfirst into the back of the lobster soldier.

Magikarp was able to learn to jump thanks to the ball that tormented him so much.

During its battle with the ball, Magikarp gained a deeper understanding of air, flight, and water splash attributes.

This ultimately results in a bounce!

Magikarp's leap had a hint of the "Swallow Return" technique.

Magikarp watches Kommo-o and Abandoned Monkey return and depart each day.

He naturally grasped some of the essence of the Swallow Return and incorporated it into his leaps.

This move caught the lobster soldier completely off guard.

Moreover, Magikarp's forehead was much harder than before, and when it slammed into Garchomp's back, Garchomp's vision went black.

Kai clenched his fist. "Lobster soldier, pull yourself together!"

Inspired by this momentum, the lobster soldiers were immediately invigorated.

"Use the crab claw hammer!"

The lobster soldier's claws glowed with a rich blue light as it swung out, smashing Magikarp away.

Magikarp fell into the water, a resolute look that was not present in its eyes before flashing.

Li Shuwen clenched his fist as well, "Magikarp, let's show the Lobster our might!"

"Use impact!"

Magikarp suddenly swung its tail, closing the distance rapidly underwater like a torpedo.

Kai wasn't about to give up either. "Lobster minions, let's dive down too and launch a sneak attack on their vitals!"

The two sides clashed, and surprisingly, neither gained the upper hand.

Li Shuwen decisively shouted, "Water cannon!"

A high-pressure jet of water shot out, directly knocking the lobster soldier back and slamming it hard onto a floating platform in the water.

This water cannon also owes a debt to Magikarp's ball.

Magikarp has a habit of taking a mouthful of water and then spitting it out suddenly.

After getting the ball, Magikarp used it to play this game.

Magikarp wanted to use water to hit the ball and make it fly higher. Unbeknownst to him, the amount of water Magikarp could hold was increasing.

One day, Magikarp suddenly spouted a jet of water.

The ball was launched 20 meters into the air.

Magikarp was quite surprised; he had actually learned Water Gun!

Since then, the cunning Magikarp has been secretly training its Water Gun underwater.

Aside from the carefree Guy and Grunt, who are unaware of this, almost everyone at the Veilgate Gym knows about Magikarp's progress.

"Impact!"

Magikarp bursts out of the water, spins seven and a half times in the air to build up a lot of kinetic energy, and then crashes into Garchomp.

The lobster soldier immediately fell into a coma.

After defeating the lobster grunt, Magikarp seemed to have a slightly stronger desire for victory.

In order to continue his winning streak, Magikarp actually felt that he should continue training and even increase the intensity of his training.

But Magikarp felt that now that it had defeated Corphish, it should take a break!

Li Shuwen did not insist that Magikarp continue training in the afternoon.

The Magikarp was left to its own devices, without any training, and allowed to roam freely in the pond.

At first, Magikarp was very happy, feeling that the wind was unusually noisy and the water was exceptionally clear, and the fish were also very happy.

But soon, Magikarp swims around the pond and looks at the ball at least ten times.

Finally, Magikarp couldn't resist any longer and jumped ashore on its own, "Kiss~"

Li Shuwen walked over and put the Magikarp back into the water. "What, you don't want to rest? You want to keep training?"

Magikarp nodded seriously, realizing that he seemed to be starting to enjoy training.

He didn't understand before, but now Magikarp seems to understand why Kommo-o and the others like training so much.

Because training brings joy, a joy that is ten or even a hundred times greater than simply swimming and spitting out water in a pool!

Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Magikarp, welcome to the Veilgate Gym family!"
