N-A-A Chapter 629 Accepting a Disciple
Chapter 629 Accepting a Disciple
Wang Qiyi chatted with Yan Xu for a long time, gaining a basic understanding of the situation in Southeast Asia. Because the Elf Cult was completely closed off from information and in a state of isolation, very little information about that region reached the Alliance. Wang Qiyi had placed one of his own people within the Elf Cult, and communication was much easier than through spies sent out by the Alliance.
Although Yanxu is a high-ranking holy warrior and a powerful figure in the eyes of the local people, he is still a low-level operator within the entire Spirit Cult and has very limited access to information. For example, he doesn't know what Mewtwo is doing or whether it was injured in the battle with the Alliance. Therefore, it is necessary to improve his status there, which requires enhancing his strength.
It's only been a few months since Wang Qiyi gave him the original Turtle. Even with the abundant resources left behind by the former leader of the Green Gang, he couldn't level up quickly enough. He's currently only at a high-level, not even an elite. There are still many trainers within the Green Gang whose Pokémon are stronger than his.
"You should stay here and cultivate for a while. You shouldn't have any problems if you don't go to the Green Gang for a few days, right?"
“Um…” Yanxu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and cupped his hands. “I dare not deceive you, sir. My position in the Green Gang is not stable. Since you left, many of my subordinates have been dissatisfied. I can only use my identity as a Holy Warrior of the Elf Cult to suppress them. I am worried that if I cannot control my subordinates, the priest in Gambutmu City will replace me and send other Holy Warriors to manage the Green Gang.”
"Then you should stay here and train even more. Here's what I'll do: I'll take you as my disciple. Don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me 'teacher' or 'master.' I'll guide your training so you can quickly become a high-level trainer and help me in the future. Are you willing?"
"Master, please accept my bow!" Without saying a word, Yanxu immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. Xiaozhi was already a god in his mind. If a god could take him as a disciple, of course he had to seize this opportunity.
Wang Qiyi never expected Yanxu to kneel so readily, without the slightest hesitation. Yanxu had been sold to the Green Gang at the age of eight to work. His only dream was to gain the favor of the Green Gang's second-in-command and have his own spirit. He was at the very bottom of the social hierarchy, his fate predictable from the start. Now, Wang Qiyi had suddenly appeared in his life, elevating him to the position of Green Gang leader and giving him his own spirit. He now regarded Wang Qiyi as his idol, and this was only because he was asked to call him "Master." Even if Wang Qiyi asked him to call him "Godfather," he wouldn't hesitate.
“Our sect is called the Free and Unfettered Sect. We have a Free and Unfettered Martial Arts Hall in Wen’an County of the Dragon Kingdom, which is our headquarters. However, your headquarters is in Southeast Asia. Perhaps I will open a martial arts hall there in the future. If you have the strength, I will take charge of it for you.”
"Then I'll go back and change the name of the Green Gang to the Carefree Gang."
"No rush, your strength doesn't allow you to do these things yet. Let me finish," Wang Qiyi stopped Yanxu from interrupting. "You are my third disciple, with two senior sisters ahead of you. I'll introduce you to them when I have the chance. For now, stay here and train diligently for a while. I will provide you with the best Pokémon training resources. I'll give you one month to capture this guy." As he spoke, Wang Qiyi took out a Poké Ball, opened it, and a Aerodactyl appeared. The Aerodactyl lay on the ground, not in a good state, seemingly having just been beaten and rendered unable to battle.
"It's called Aerodactyl, a very powerful Pokémon. However, it has only just been revived from its fossil state using a revival device, so its strength hasn't returned to its peak. I saw that it has excellent potential, so I left it to you. But you still need to use your own skills to capture it before it will obey your commands."
"This fossil aerod was already at the mid-elite level when it was resurrected. I guess it was at least master level or higher before it became a fossil, and it might even be legendary. It will gradually recover its former strength over time after being resurrected, so fossil-type Pokémon are trained faster than ordinary Pokémon. Once you catch it, your status over there will be different."
The Aerodactyl that Wang Qiyi brought had even better individual stats than the Exeggcute. If it were before, he would definitely have wanted to catch this Aerodactyl. But now he already has 12 Pokémon, 4 Guardian Pokémon and 8 Legendary Pokémon, and he really has no interest in raising a Pokémon from scratch.
It would be a waste to leave it for someone else to subdue, since it was resurrected in his own secret realm. So he simply gave it to his newly accepted disciple, so that he could make a name for himself in Southeast Asia, which would mean that Wang Qiyi would have his own power there.
"Thank you, Master!" Yanxu said, and then wanted to throw out the original shell turtle to fight the fossil pterosaur. The fossil pterosaur, which was lying on the ground and was feeling listless, sensed the killing intent and immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
Yanxu made a move to give chase, but Wang Qiyi stopped him: "Don't rush. I just beat it so badly that it lost its ability to battle and ran away when it saw me. Even if you force your way after it, you might not be able to capture it. You have to let it recover for a while. Only by defeating it in a formal battle will the Pokémon submit to you. Your Primal Exotic isn't at the elite level yet. Even with type advantage, it can't defeat Aerodactyl. You have to let Primal Exotic evolve into Ribbon Turtle to have any fighting power."
After Wang Qiyi finished speaking, he handed him a special blue and white Poké Ball—a Flying Ball, a new product from Glowing Technology. These Poké Balls make it easier to catch Flying-type Pokémon, and they sell for 1 yuan each. New products are always expensive, and there's often no market for them. He also received a box of high-quality Rock-type Energy Cubes, a Water-type Energy Cube, and a level 5 Water-type gem.
Yanxu had no idea that the things he was holding were worth more than one million dragon coins. In impoverished Southeast Asia, such resources would be unthinkable.
Yanxu focused on his cultivation in the World Tree Secret Realm. The natural energy in this realm was incredibly concentrated, especially near the World Tree; ordinary people couldn't even dream of cultivating there. Even the prince of the Shatuo Kingdom couldn't do it. Thanks to Wang Qiyi's connections, Yanxu had already obtained resources that even powerful clans might not be able to acquire.
The sea turtle was undergoing special training in a nearby river. A hippopotamus-like spirit, acting like a wise man, would often sit by the riverbank and offer advice to Yanxu. Yanxu knew this was his master's spirit, so he naturally obeyed its every word. Moreover, under the spirit's brainwashing-like education, he instinctively held the spirit in high esteem.
Wang Qiyi contacted President John Parker of the International Pokémon League to confirm the information he received from Yan Xu. In the past, Wang Qiyi wouldn't have cared about the international situation; he only cared about his Pokémon training. Now, holding multiple positions—Mew Messenger; Special Agent of the International Pokémon League; Eleventh Elder of the Dragon Kingdom—each role carries an added responsibility to the world.
According to Mew, when a world-class secret realm descends, the gods of the Pokémon world will also arrive. Whether it will be war or peaceful coexistence depends on whether humanity can muster the power to communicate with them. Wang Qiyi has now reached the pinnacle of trainers, so he will undoubtedly have a place on the front lines of dialogue with the gods.
"You're right, the Alliance has compromised," President Parker's voice came from the other end of the phone. "A world-class secret realm is about to descend, and we must prepare for it. We no longer have the extra resources and power to deal with the Elf Cult. However, we haven't publicized this; we've announced that negotiations are still ongoing. How did you get this information?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own channels. I have people planted in the Elven Kingdom, and that's where I get my information."
"You're not bad, kid. But tell your undercover agent to be careful. Mewtwo, the Pokémon legendary, has the ability to read people's minds and even brainwash them. All the undercover agents we sent have failed."
"Don't worry, I've been an undercover agent before, I know the situation there better than you do."
"By the way, I have some news to share with you first. Our compromise with the Pokémon Church is in the hope that Mewtwo will stand on the side of humanity when the gods descend, or at the very least remain neutral and protect the humans of the Pokémon Kingdom. If Mewtwo agrees, then it might send a representative to participate in the upcoming war of the world's guardians."
