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

Chapter 121 The Powerful Sticky Dragon

Li Shuwen knew all too well how much the power of waveguides helped Lucario's growth.

But Riolu, or Lucario, is not a Pokémon that you can catch just by wanting to.

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Ever since I awakened my Aura power, I have indeed thought about catching a Lucario or a Riolu."

"But if I can't find Lucario, there's nothing I can do."

Cynthia smugly replied, "You can ask me that question. I know where Lucario's habitat is!"

Li Shuwen nodded. That's true. The Cynthia family's ancestral Pokémon setup does indeed include Lucario.

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Then, would you mind if Miss Cynthia could offer me some guidance?"

Cynthia stepped forward and touched the snail shell of the Goomyron.

"Tonight, get to know Goodra a bit. Tomorrow morning, you'll use Goodra to battle my Pokémon."

"If the battle satisfies me, I'll tell you where to catch Riolu!"

Li Shuwen patted Goodra's big head and said with a smile, "Goodra, Cynthia is one of the most powerful Pokémon Trainers of this era. Aren't you confident?"

Niumi Lulong's eyes sharpened instantly.

"Melu!"

The Magnus loves to harass Goodra, not because Goodra is cute, but because Goodra is strong!

The Salamence believed that, apart from herself, the Goodra was the most powerful fighter in the entire Wild Area!

But the salamander didn't realize that the sticky dragon, by only defending and not attacking, could hold its own against her.

If the Golem takes the initiative to attack, it will unleash an astonishing amount of power!

Cynthia's challenge, along with Li Shuwen's request as a new source of inspiration, rekindled Nymph's long-dormant fighting spirit.

It was Cynthia's exceptional insight that allowed her to perceive the power of the Goodra, which is why she wanted to fight it.

After all, there aren't many opportunities to battle against Pokémon from the past.

For Cynthia, this was also a very rare experience.

Hirona hopes to have a dialogue with the past through the Nymphalus from the era of the Green Wash.

Cynthia waved her hand, "You should familiarize yourself with Goodra's moves first. I won't watch from the sidelines anymore. Let's keep some mystery for tomorrow's battle."

Octavian smiled and said, "There are some vacant dormitories in the staff area, but they are rather simple. I hope Ultron Cynthia won't mind."

Cynthia waved her hand, "I used to travel a lot, and I had a dormitory to stay in, which was already quite good."

Li Shuwen, however, followed the two of them with the Sticky Dragon. Octavian asked in confusion, "Don't you need to familiarize yourself with the Sticky Dragon's power?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I think we should fill our stomachs and the Nymph's stomachs before we get to know the power of the Nymph."

"I plan to use red lotus fruit to try making a kind of elven food with a fresh green flavor, so that the Gluttonous Dragon can start to embrace this new era."

"Furthermore, since Cynthia gifted me and Gormleyon so many Red Lotus Fruits, I should certainly cook for them myself as a small way of repaying her."

Octavian raised an eyebrow. "Our Wilderness District's chef is a top chef specially brought in from Wetlands City. Can your cooking be better than his?"

……

Octavian bowed respectfully. "Indeed, Shuwen, your skills are superior! But I don't understand, how come the same ingredients, in your hands, have such a magical effect, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary?"

Li Shuwen smiled calmly, "This is all thanks to a few cooking tips I learned from a chef in Veil City."

Shirona nodded in agreement. Li Shuwen's cooking was not as good as Chef Caibo's, but it made her feel more comfortable eating it.

After dinner, Li Shuwen and Nianmei Lulong arrived at an open space in the wilderness area.

"Sticky Dragon, let me see the skills you're good at."

Nymphalosaurus nodded, and then the snail shell on its back lit up with a silvery-white light.

It's similar to Iron Wall, but the Golem uses a different Iron Wall.

It's actually a unique skill of the Golem: Seclusion!

Increase defense and evasion.

If your defense is reduced, you can restore it by going into seclusion.

A very powerful skill.

Then the Numeru Dragon raised its head and spewed a blue dragon-shaped beam of light into the sky.

Li Shuwen had seen her use Dragon Pulse when she fought the Salamander.

Nymph took a breath and exhaled a silver-white beam of light.

Cannon beam.

With a flick of its tail, the giant snail shell swung wildly.

It's incredibly powerful; anyone who gets hit by a Goomy's iron tail is in for a world of hurt.

Nymphaluro lowered its head, and the top of its head turned metallic.

Iron Head!

The Numeru Dragon raised its head again and spat out a dazzling golden meteor.

It exploded in the air, turning into basketball-sized meteors that fell to the ground.

The impact created large craters, each about one meter in diameter, in the ground.

Heavenly Dragon Meteor!

Dr. Mustard also said he would teach the use of the Nectarine Dragon Meteor.

I didn't expect that Muscat already knew how to do it.

The Numeru Dragon began to gather silvery-white light all over its body, concentrating it in its abdomen, and finally spewed out a blazing white beam of light.

Li Shuwen's eyes widened. Iron Hoof Ray!

Nymphalome can do this too!

Tianlong Meteor plus Iron Hoof Ray...

The strength of a Pokémon's skills can reflect its overall power to some extent.

With the presence of these two skills, Li Shuwen gained a clear understanding of just how powerful the Golem Dragon was.

Compared to Cynthia's Garchomp, Goodra's power is somewhat weaker.

But the difference isn't that big.

It was indeed Li Shuwen's good fortune to be able to subdue the Nymphaloid.

The strength that Goodra has now is also inseparable from the years of consistent training that Salamander has given it.

Although the salamander simply enjoys fighting with the golem.

Finally, the Numeru Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of turbid liquid.

Then came the blizzard, and the ripples of the water.

Only after using the Water Wave technique did Numeru Dragon stop and quietly look at Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen clapped excitedly, "Nianmei Lulong, you're amazing!"

Li Shuwen used the power of waveguides to eliminate the side effects of Numerulong's use of the Heavenly Dragon Meteor and Iron Hoof Ray.

"Sticky Dragon, let's do our best in tomorrow's battle!"

Nianmei Lulong nodded. Tomorrow would be her first time fighting for Li Shuwen, and she hoped to prove herself through a victory.

Li Shuwen returned to the staff area, where Shirona was standing at the door.

Seeing him and Goodra, Cynthia smiled and said, "Congratulations on catching such a wonderful Pokémon!"

Li Shuwen smiled and patted the arm of the Sticky Dragon. "The Sticky Dragon is really great. I'm having a bit of a headache now. I don't know how to train it to become stronger."

Despite saying that, Li Shuwen had already devised a daily training method suitable for the sticky dragon.

Including the recipe for Pokémon food that incorporates Red Lotus Fruit, Li Shuwen also devised the most suitable recipe for the moment during the process of Goodra using its skills.

Cynthia smiled and nodded. "Raising a fully formed Pokémon is indeed quite difficult, but I believe you can do it."
