Chapter 88 The Troubles of Charmander Arthur

I got up, and I was killed in one second. What else can I say?

Leftovers, who relied on stacking buffs to raise their own ignition status to the limit, easily passed the Golden Gym, which is known for its difficulty.

On the one hand, it was because Leftovers' ignition characteristic was really highly developed.

On the other hand, it was also because Nancy's father was provoked by some unknown reason and wanted to kill him in one go, but was caught and hit back.

Otherwise, Eden would have been shaken by the highs and lows today.

When handing the golden badge to Zhou You, Nancy's father's hands seemed to be shaking.

Just this rookie trainer, one move (or N moves) beat my Bravest into a near-death state!

The Daughter City does not deceive me, and it really deserves to be a trainer who can shine in the future!

I don't know what the idea was, Nancy's father gave their family's handwritten meditation secret book to Zhou You, and repeatedly reminded him that this is a family secret that cannot be given to others to watch or learn.

By the way...

The Dark Gray Gym gives Patience Secret Book (stingy).

The Cerulean Gym gives Water Wave (written on the Cerulean City Water Ballet Introduction Manual).

The Golden Gym gives the precious hand-copied family Meditation Secret Book.

But the Vermilion Gym, didn't it give nothing?

The gym owner will give a symbolic gift after losing, but how come Ma Zhishi is even stingier than Xiaogang, one of the ten brothers in the family?

(At this time, Ma Zhishi sneezed far away in Vermilion City.)

In any case, Zhou You finally started his next plan after clearing the Golden Gym with two less-trained Pokémons without the help of Eden.

First, he reported to the Golden City Police Station about his capture of the Sword Scabbard, and then he took the tram to Vermilion City and caught the ship to Red Lotus Island before noon.

There were still 5 days left before the PTCG regional tournament in Kanto, which was enough time for him to go to Crimson Island to open the 5th gym and improve his relationship with Farfetch.

…

On the deck of the cruise ship on Waterway 20.

Zhou You wanted to let the elves enjoy the sea breeze to relax, but he unexpectedly noticed that Arthur was in a particularly depressed mood at this time.

"Wow..."

Whether it was training at Oak Research Institute for 3 months or challenging the gym for the first time in Deep Gray City, it was obviously the first one to come, but now its strength is so far behind Leftovers.

They are all fire elves, and Growlithe is just a common roadside pet, while Charmander is one of the three most popular starter Pokémon in Kanto. Why is the gap so big?

Arthur looked at the Fire Stone hanging around his neck, which was now full of energy again.

Qiao Qiao invested a lot of resources in himself, even the Fire Stone that could make Growlithe evolve into Arcanine on the spot was here, why was his progress still so slow?

"You think too much, Arthur."

Noticing his little Charmander's little entanglement, Zhou You patiently picked it up and said, "You were sent to the Oak Research Institute three months after you were born. I took care of you for three months, and it has been two months since we went out. So you are only an eight-month-old Charmander."

The growth stages of Pokémon vary according to their types. Some, like Caterpillar, can evolve to their final form in one month, while some, like late-blooming Quasi-Gods, evolve at least at level 50 or above.

Charmanders basically reach adulthood in nearly a year, and before that they are only in their infancy.

"Although I gave you, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pikachu three months of guidance at the same time, your situations are different."

"Unlike the other three, I mainly trained you in the skills of actively opening the fierce fire and the control of fire energy during those three months."

In short, it is to teach theory and lay a solid foundation, while the training of body and skills is maintained at the normal level.

"Because I was sure to choose you as my elf from the beginning, I didn't rush to teach you other things. Those can be mastered over time. On the contrary, if you don't lay a good foundation at the beginning, it will be difficult to change it later."

"Wow?" Arthur nodded, not quite understanding.

So I spent several times more time training than other elves in the past five months, and I also had the help of special fire stones, but I only reached level 21. Is it because these are just theoretical teachings to lay a good foundation?

Zhou You: "..."

No, it's mainly because your talent is really too bad. I guess you don't even have 1V.

Look at other people's leftovers. When they got to me, they were level 29. I ate and drank, played all day, and asked me to charge with the Phoenix Flame from time to time. In two months, I was already level 33.

But Zhou You obviously didn't intend to let Arthur suffer a blow or lose confidence. Children are praised. It is very important to be able to correctly fool them into having a good and positive mentality for their future growth.

"That's right!"

"You have only been training for 5 months, but Leftover was sent to the Kanto Police Dog Training Base when it was 3 months old for a full year of training, and was only recently handed over to me.

"So Leftover's training time is actually 1 year and 2 months. It's normal for Leftover to be stronger than you. It's already an adult, and you're still growing."

However, for an elf that has no worries about food and drink and is taken care of by humans, it only takes 1 month to upgrade from level 1 to level 20 (here it doesn't refer to the full month after birth, but 1 month of training).

After that, most elves will spend 1 year to continue to upgrade to level 30.

In fact, Leftover's training speed before this was still very normal, and the progress was improved after meeting Zhou You and getting the Phoenix Flame Recharge.

So it seems that Leftover's real talent is actually quite ordinary?

It's really not that easy to find a leak.

In short, Zhou You is going to fool his own Arthur first: "From a small fire dragon to a fire dinosaur, both muscle strength and energy control will be greatly improved. Only then will you work hard to train your hard power to catch up with other elves."

"Wow!" Arthur has regained some confidence.

But it feels that it is a perfect time before evolution, and it is time to learn some skills that can improve its own hard power.

"Well... yes... it's about time I teach you some real skills."

Seeing Arthur put forward his own request, Zhou You threw out the strategy he had prepared long in advance: "Do you remember the Entei we met in Huozhao Hot Spring?"

"(Nods) Wow!"

"Then you should remember that Entei is different from most elves. It has three characteristics: oppression, fire and mental power."

After that, Zhou You took out the illustration and opened the previous record of Entei:

"Beep~ Entei, the fire is sizzling!"

What's wrong with this broken illustration? Is it really broken?
