Chapter 7 Challengers
After the brother and sister played around for a while, Li Shuwen started washing the kitchen utensils, while Li Meining took Riolu to do skills training.
After cleaning the kitchen utensils, Li Shuwen went to the Pokémon storage room of the Veiled Gym.
The other gyms all had shelves full of Poké Balls.
Regardless of the Pokémon's strength, the quantity must be large.
On one hand, it's to deal with the endless stream of challengers; on the other hand, it's to discover a genius Pokémon.
Just as trainers can help Pokémon grow, Pokémon can in turn help trainers grow.
This is a mutually beneficial process.
Li Shuwen believed that his dragon attribute affinity was so high that the influence of the Heart Scale Treasure on him was beyond doubt.
This is why many trainers eventually choose to specialize in one type.
Find your strongest attribute and dedicate all your energy to developing it.
Of course, there are also trainers who have exceptional talent in multiple attributes.
The most representative figure is Cynthia!
Her six main Pokémon cover a very wide range of types.
There's no way to compare. Cynthia's ancestors were truly wealthy, and the talent she inherited is naturally unparalleled in Sinnoh.
Li Shuwen's family did not inherit the tradition from the Xicui era, so naturally he did not have any outstanding talents.
Lung Mist Old Man doesn't have much talent for training Pokémon. Like many fighting game trainers, he relies on his innate superhuman strength to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Pokémon.
This will promote the growth of Pokémon.
If it weren't for Li Shuwen's influence, Li Meining would most likely have become a fighter and trainer as well.
As a Fighter-type trainer, Lung Mist Old Man is destined not to have many Pokémon.
There were only eight Poké Balls on the large wooden shelf.
A classic family of arm wrestling, super strength, and superhuman strength.
Fiery Monkey, Fast Swimming Frog.
Fast Punch Man, Flying Kick Man, War Dance Man, another family bucket.
Machop and Machoke were the only new recruits that Lung Mistman recruited after becoming a Gym Leader to deal with challengers.
It's been almost ten years since then, and arm wrestling is still just arm wrestling. For some reason, I feel it's even more tragic than Xinlinbao's situation.
Not only does Lung Mist Dad not go to work, he also doesn't train his Pokémon.
As the acting gym leader, Li Shuwen could only train these Pokémon, which had almost no effect on increasing their strength, but it could at least ensure that their condition did not decline.
They barely managed to maintain the reputation of the Veiled Gym among trainers.
Bring the Poké Balls of Hitmonchan, Slash, and Hypnos, and train the three of them this morning.
Li Shuwen arrived at the training ground and released the three of them.
Seeing that it was Li Shuwen instead of Lung Mist Old Man, the three Pokémon were already used to it.
"Everyone, run ten laps around the training field to warm up before starting skills training."
Since he was eight years old, Li Shuwen had been learning how to take care of these eight Pokémon. When he was ten, Lung Mist Dad completely handed over the responsibility of taking care of the Pokémon to him.
When Li Shuwen was fifteen, his father, who suffered from lung ulcers, completely fell into depravity.
Li Shuwen tried to train them, and to his surprise, Machamp, as Lung Mist's first Pokémon, took the lead in agreeing to let Li Shuwen lead them in training.
That same year, Li Shuwen began trying to take over the Trainer's challenge in place of Lung Mist's father.
After running ten laps with Flying Kick Lang, Li Shuwen felt every cell in his body cheering.
Previously, Flying Kick Lang could run ten laps, while Li Shuwen could only run five laps at most.
Today, for the first time, I successfully ran ten laps with Flying Legs. Not only did I not feel tired, but I also felt full of energy. Li Shuwen could not hide his excitement.
Flying Leg was somewhat surprised; had his little master taken the wrong medicine today? He was actually able to keep up with his speed.
Although Flying Legs didn't run at full speed, with the little master's physical strength, Flying Legs could easily overtake the little master.
Does the fact that the little master was able to keep up with him today mean that the Veil Dojo has a successor?
"Start training!"
Quick Fist Bro's fist pierced the air, and a faint gust of scorching wind emanated from it.
The Flying Kick Man spins and kicks, his legs constantly extending and retracting, his speed is ghostly, and his feet can appear in any position.
Zhanwulang stood upside down, supporting his body with the horn on his head, while his legs and tail spun rapidly, creating a whirlwind.
With Zhanwulang around, the Veil Dojo doesn't even need air conditioning.
Li Meining rushed into the training field with Riolu, shouting, "Brother, there's a challenger!"
Where are they?
Li Meining raised her hand in salute. "I have arranged for the person to wait in the lounge as instructed by the superior. Please give further instructions, sir."
Li Shuwen smiled. "Very good, Private Ning! Now go call your dad and see if he's free to come back and accept the trainer's challenge."
"Yes, sir!"
Li Meining rushed out of the training field to make a phone call.
Li Shuwen went to the kitchen, poured a cup of tea, and brought some snacks to the trainer.
"Please use it."
Li Shuwen knew that when he asked Li Meining to bring the challenger to the lounge to wait, she really just brought the person there without even providing them with a cup of tea.
"Thank you." The challenger was an energetic, spiky-haired boy.
"I'd like to ask which badge this is, so I can prepare the Pokémon to use in today's battle based on your situation."
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's words, the boy immediately perked up.
"I'm Aaron from Snowpeak City, and this is the third gym I'm challenging."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Based on the badges you have, the match will be a two-on-two format. I'll go prepare my Pokémon now, and I'll come back to take you to the battle arena once I'm ready."
"Please wait a moment."
The spiky-haired boy nodded respectfully, "Okay, thank you."
When Li Shuwen returned to the training ground, Li Meining had already finished her phone call.
"I called three times, but my dad didn't answer."
Li Shuwen shrugged. "Looks like I'll have to do it myself. Fast Fist Bro, Flying Kick Bro, I'm counting on you."
"Cheer!" Quick-Punchman waved his fist.
"Ha!" Flying Kick delivered a side kick.
Reassure Li Shuwen that he can entrust the matter to them.
Zhanwulang jumped up and down, "Wow!" He wanted to go on stage too.
"Zhanwulang, don't worry, I'll definitely let you play next time."
Hiram believed him, and the obedient Pokémon stayed in the training ground to train.
"Little sister, take the challenger to the battle arena, I'll go first."
The arena for the Curtain Dojo was originally just a standard arena with nothing on it.
However, after Li Shuwen took over, he replaced it with a rocky mountain site with many artificial hills and rocks.
This kind of venue is actually more conducive to the performance of Fighting-type Pokémon.
Li Meining stepped to the referee's position and announced, "The next match will be between the Gym Leader of the Veiled City and the Challenger. The Gym Leader will send out their Pokémon first, and the Trainer will go first."
Li Shuwen threw out a Poké Ball, "Go, Hitmonlee!"
Without hesitation, Aaron, who had actually been thinking about who to send out countless times on the way, said, "Please, Starbird."
Li Shuwen knew that nine out of ten trainers who challenged the Veiled Gym would send out a Flying-type Pokémon as their first Pokémon.
More than half are Mukers and Muker birds.
As for the Muke Eagle, it is not commonly seen.
"Starbird, wing attack!"
Li Shuwen sighed inwardly. Using wings to attack was simply a waste of the advantage of flight.
"Flame Kick"
With flames on its feet, it precisely kicked the Staraptor in the neck.
The Starbird crashed into a rock and was rendered unable to fight with a single blow.
"Muck Bird!" Aaron shouted in disbelief.
He never expected that Staraptor, a Flying-type Pokémon, would be so easily defeated by Hitmonlee, a Fighting-type Pokémon.
After recalling Staraptor, Arlong still followed the planned lineup, saying, "Go, Exeggutor."
No, dude, didn't you see that Hitmonlee used a Flame Kick to knock down Staraptor?
Still climbing the coconut tree?
"Flame Kick!"
"Exeggutor, use your telekinesis!"
Flying Kick Man sped forward, his right leg suddenly extending to two meters, kicking the Exeggutor tree away and smashing it into the rocks behind him.
Exeggutor, incapacitated!
