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

Chapter 77 Dragon Tamer Afei

After evolving, the Scaled Dragon's appetite gradually increases with training.

But his appetite suddenly increased dramatically after the battle with Garchomp that day.

Perhaps, battling a powerful opponent like Garchomp stimulated Kommo-o's dragon bloodline to be rapidly activated.

The fact that the scales of the Scaled Dragon were broken should also be one of the contributing factors.

The increased appetite reveals the vigorous growth of the Scaled Osprey's vitality.

Exceptional physical strength and defensive capabilities are the foundation of the Scaled Dragon's existence.

Li Shuwen planned to adapt to the changes in the scaled dragon and arrange new training content for it.

Including the Farfetch'd, a new shield has been added, requiring training of the Farfetch'd's defense and shield usage skills.

The sword is a meteor strike, the shield is an iron wall.

Meteor Assault, the Onion Ranger used it very well.

However, Cong Youbing's application of the Iron Wall technique was somewhat inexperienced.

The best, and only, way to improve your defense is to take a beating!

The Scaled Armor Dragon's vigorous vitality allows it to withstand attacks.

However, the slender body of the Onion Soldier appears quite frail compared to that of the Armored Dragon.

Onion Soldiers need to improve their power-reducing skills.

Of course, improving the Cong Youbing's physical toughness and defensive skills through Li Shuwen's training techniques is just as important.

This is the key to Li Shuwen's success as a trainer.

A scientifically balanced diet will help Cong Youbing grow up healthily.

To evolve Farfetch'd, you need to modify the Pokémon food recipe.

The scaled dragon's appetite has increased significantly, and Li Shuwen plans to increase the proportion of materials rich in vitality.

Regarding the soul problem of Primeape, Li Shuwen could only try adding Ghost-type berries to see if he could nurture Primeape's soul.

……

The next day, Li Shuwen arrived at Shinji's house and learned that Raiji had already set off for the Kanto region two days earlier to challenge the Battle Frontier.

Shinji is waiting for his starter Pokémon to arrive at the Pokémon Center so he and his two other children can choose one.

Today is Thursday, so the starter Pokémon should arrive on Friday.

"Shinji, how about we go for a walk in nature this weekend?"

Shinji frowned slightly. "But Shuwen, I plan to take a boat to the Kanto region as soon as I get the Pokémon."

"Watch my brother's awesome performance in the Frontier Zone!"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "It won't make a difference if we stay in these two days. After all, there are seven battle facilities. But you, don't just focus on watching Lei Si's battle."

"Have you ever thought about what kind of trainer you want to become in the future?"

Shinji excitedly raised his hand, "Of course, it's a trainer as good as my brother!"

Shinji is now a typical brother-complex guy.

Before Raiji's image was shattered, Li Shuwen felt it was necessary for him to let Shinji understand his own heart and not blindly worship Raiji.

Instead, they forge their own path.

"I plan to train Xiao Ning's wilderness survival skills and then send her on a trip. You can come along and learn from me how to take care of Pokémon."

"Once you learn it, you can help Raiji take care of the Pokémon, right?"

Shinji immediately nodded in agreement when he heard that he could help Raiji.

"I'll go!"

After leaving Shinji's house, Li Shuwen first rented an off-road vehicle, and then drove to the shopping street to buy various equipment needed for picnics and camping.

When I drove home, a challenger had already arrived.

This challenger didn't come from reading posts on the trainer forum.

They are just ordinary challengers.

And it's the third badge.

He performed well, and Li Shuwen successfully received his second badge after becoming a prospective headmaster.

Finally, on Friday afternoon, another challenger came to the door.

"Hello, I'm Fei, the Dragon Trainer, here to challenge the Veiled Dojo!"

Dragon Trainer?

Li Shuwen looked over and saw a boy with an immature, boyish appearance.

He's very handsome, but he's actually the same type as her.

They wore ancient robes, adorned with teeth and scales.

A very typical dragon trainer outfit.

"No problem. May I ask which badge this is?"

Afei pulled open his robe and looked at the number of badges hanging on it.

"Oh, it's the tenth!"

The tenth one? Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow.

Trainers typically collect only eight badges before challenging gyms, which carries a slightly provocative connotation.

For example, Shigeru arrogantly challenged the Viridian Dojo.

By then, Shigeru had already collected ten badges.

Giovanni's arrogant attitude prompted him to send out Mewtwo to teach this ignorant brat a lesson.

It almost caused Xiao Mao's Dao heart to collapse.

Li Shuwen asked, "Afei, didn't you know that you only need eight badges to participate in the regional tournament?"

Afei blinked, looking confused. "Aren't more badges always better?"

After Li Shuwen explained it to him, Afei suddenly realized, "No wonder the uncle at the previous dojo looked at me strangely."

"Then let's not wager our badges in a battle, and just have a simple fight, okay?"

Afei took out a Poké Ball and released a spherical Pokémon that was entirely silver-white.

"If Shellder wants to evolve, it needs to battle more. Besides gyms, I don't know where to find strong trainers and Pokémon."

Li Shuwen said, "You can check out the Trainers Forum."

Fei nodded excitedly, "Yes, I saw on the Trainer Forum that you are a very nice person and willing to guide challengers, so I made a special trip to Veilwall City."

Another poor kid who got tricked... no, Afei is no poor kid for getting nine badges.

Ah Fei wasn't disappointed; instead, he excitedly asked Li Shuwen, "Can I play a six-on-six game with you?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Let's do three against three. Six against six would take too long. Three against three is more suitable."

In the morning, the Bad Frog and the Onion Soldier practiced sparring. The Bad Frog practiced attacking, and the Onion Soldier practiced defending. Li Shuwen wasn't paying attention, and both of them exhausted themselves.

He is currently resting at the Pokémon Center.

There are only three left that can fight.

Facing Afei, Li Shuwen felt he needed to go all out.

"Afei, is this your first Ankylosaurus?"

Ah Fei quickly shook his head, "No, this is my first one."

A ferocious blue worm appeared on the battlefield.

Gyarados?

Ah Fei, what kind of dragon tamer are you?!

Li Shuwen thought for a moment and then released the Fire Monkey.

Afei was a little surprised, "Hey, I was thinking of using a Kabuto to battle a Primeape, why did the Gym Leader send out a Primeape as the first one!"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are even better Pokémon to come."

Afei grinned, "Then I won't hold back! Gyarados, Tornado!"

"Charge! A million-ton punch!"

Gyarados slapped its tail, releasing a white hurricane.

Despite the strong winds, the leg muscles honed by carrying a hundred pounds of weight allowed Infernape to run against the hurricane, and then, with his right fist already clad in a ten-pound iron gauntlet, he delivered over a hundred thousand punches.

A punch landed on Gyarados's chin.

Gyarados let out a mournful cry and flew off the battlefield.

Afei was not surprised but delighted, "Amazing! Gyarados, use Dragon Dance!"

No one understands the Dance of the Dragon better than me!

"Don't give him a chance, a million-ton punch!"

Infernape leaped forward and delivered another punch, pinning down the Gyarados that had just started its dance.

"Dragon Tail!"

But Gyarados's long body still allowed it to swing its tail and send Primeape flying.

"Gyarados, Dragon Pulse!"

No, dude, you're just using Gyarados like a Dragon-type.

"Dodge! A million-ton punch!"

After taking three punches from Infernape, Gyarados finally collapsed, filled with resentment.

Afei was a little excited. His carefully raised Gyarados was defeated in three moves. He had made the right choice coming to the Veilgate Gym!
