Chapter 239 Disregarding Martial Morality, Ambush
Faced with the irrational Lucario, Wei Xin snapped his fingers: "Gardevoir, Mystic Flame!"
With a snap, a surge of air rose beneath Lucario's feet, and a wall of blazing fire leaped up and slammed towards Lucario. Lucario released its Aura, conjuring a blue, multi-sectioned staff, which it swung with great force, tearing apart the fire wall. Just as Lucario was about to charge, it noticed Gardevoir's hand spinning in mid-air.
You can't cut water with a knife; the water just keeps flowing!
The flames he tore apart merged and converged again, endlessly swirling towards him, approaching and entangling him like maggots clinging to his bones, crawling up his body. The intense burning sensation caused him unbearable pain, and he cried out in anguish.
Gardevoir's eyes sharpened, and she clenched her fist.
boom!
A crimson lotus bloomed, and amidst the blossoming flowers, Lucario's eyes rolled back, its light shattered, and it released its Mega Evolution.
Evolution, swaying and falling to the ground.
"It was an instant kill!" A passerby exclaimed in surprise. Although fire-type attacks were very effective against steel-type Lucario, it shouldn't be a fatal blow to a Mega Evolution Pokémon.
And those dazzling flames, even more magnificent than those of the contestants in the Grand Contest, were undoubtedly the result of precise control over power—truly terrifying.
What happened to the newcomer who debuted two months ago, and Gardevoir who just evolved?
What?! The intelligence is fake?
"Well done, Gardevoir," Wei Xin praised, walking over. Gardevoir gently bent down, tilted its head, and stretched its head toward Wei Xin.
Is this... a desire to be touched?
Wei Xin reached into Gardevoir's hair and gently rubbed it, and Gardevoir smiled with satisfaction.
Even though emotions have evolved, deep down I'm still a little girl.
"Alright, let's go check on Lucario."
"Lucario!" Korne held the exhausted Lucario in her arms. Although she had considered the possibility of losing to Wei Xin, she did not expect to lose so miserably.
"Lucario~" Lucario raised his hand with difficulty to comfort his trainer.
Wei Xin took out some medicine and sprayed it on Lucario. As Lucario closed its eyes, it let out a mournful howl and hiss, and Lucario regained its ability to move.
"Korne, I know why you can't control Mega Evolution," Wei Xin said after a moment's thought, carefully choosing his words. "You've been too lenient with Lucario, which has led to his loss of control."
"Me, indulging Lucario?" Korne asked, puzzled.
Wei Xin nodded, his gentle face now solemn: "Although I am the victor and someone who has just mastered Mega Evolution, it would be too presumptuous of me to guide you."
"But I must say that neither you nor Lucario have fulfilled your responsibilities. Korrina, as a trainer, you failed to regulate Lucario's behavior, give him the correct commands and guidance, and point him in the right direction. Lucario, you ignored the voice of the trainer."
Kerni stared blankly at Wei Xin, then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, she asked thoughtfully, "Could you please explain it a little more clearly?"
"Simply put, you trust Lucario too much, to the point of blind faith, and Lucario does the same. You see each other as one, but a bond must exist between two people. You are too close, to the point of subconsciously ignoring each other."
"Besides that—" Wei Xin took out his phone, found a video, and placed it in front of Ke Erni.
It was a news story about a woman who took her wolfhound out on the street without any restrictions, and the wolfhound suddenly attacked a passerby.
Finally, the woman uttered a classic line: "My dog is very obedient and doesn't usually bite."
"Now the question is, what caused this incident?"
"Because this woman didn't manage the wolfhound well, but Lucario is very smart. We grew up together, so there's no need for him to be like this—oh!" Korne's mouth formed an "O," her eyes widened suddenly, and she blinked repeatedly, as if she had just realized something.
As Wei Xin said, she trusted Lucario too much and thought she knew Lucario completely, but that was not actually the case.
She slammed her hand down, and with a thud, Lucario's head hit the ground.
She then realized that when she acted, she assumed that Lucario would make the same choices and reactions as her, and Lucario did the same, to the point that she assumed her will was the other's will.
"That's right. Trainers and Pokémon have different perspectives, which leads to different views. Just like the woman in the video, she thinks the streets and markets are safe, but the Poliwag doesn't see them that way. Pedestrians coming and going on the roadside, speeding cars, and blaring horns are all potential threats to him."
"So the final result was that the coyote was stimulated and became stressed."
"You and Lucario are the same. Although you are in sync, you have not been able to do your jobs properly. You are looking at the same scenery, but the scenery you see is different from each other."
"Furthermore, after Lucario undergoes Mega Evolution, its Aura perception is greatly enhanced. The surrounding noise makes its mind and will extremely sensitive, which is also an important reason for losing control."
The onlookers were drawn in by Wei Xin's words and stopped to watch. The secret to Mega Evolution was a closely guarded secret of many dojos, although books said it depended on the bond between the Pokémon and the user.
But who would understand this?
No one can give a detailed explanation of what bonds are or how to use them.
Although Wei Xin looked very young and didn't seem like someone who could speak profound truths, well—it was free anyway, so I might as well listen to a little bit.
Wei Xin continued, "Trainers and Pokémon each have their own responsibilities. What you need to do is not to let Lucario use its power as it pleases, but as a trainer, to make Lucario hear your voice and know how to use its power."
Having received some guidance, Korrina nodded repeatedly as if she understood, but felt troubled: "But my relationship and habits with Lucario are already formed, and it's hard to change them, what should I do?"
Wei Xin waved his hand and turned around with his hands behind his back, acting like a master: "It's very simple. Re-establish your relationship and make each other aware of each other's presence in your lives, all the time. I have a plan, and I'll prepare a little prop for you in a bit."
"Okay, thank you." Korni looked up and gazed at Wei Xin's back. He had first saved her life and then helped her find her shortcomings. Her beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration.
"By the way, Wei Xin, there's something I want to tell you."
"What————" Wei Xin turned his head and felt a soft touch on his lips. A fair face with rosy cheeks appeared in front of him, with its eyes closed.
His pupils dilated suddenly.
Not only him, but everyone around him stared wide-eyed.
Oh, not a buddy?
We came here to listen to the lecture, why did you suddenly grab a handful of dog food and stuff it into our mouths?
These days, people usually lure dogs in and then kill them, right?
Wei Xin was dumbfounded. "No, why did you launch a surprise attack? There was no warning at all. My waveguide didn't even react."
He wanted to push Korni away, but Korni was dressed very scantily, and he didn't know where to push her. He could only innocently raise his hands in surrender and blink his eyes at Wanlong beside him.
Stop looking, come save me!
Who would have thought that Wanlong would show such ecstasy, with an excited "Yay!" expression, and lead the onlookers to take out their phones.
The lights were flashing, and someone was filming a video.
Saving him? No way. They say when someone is in pain, they'll run away on their own. Look at him, he's not moving at all; he might already be sticking out his tongue.
Gengar even pulled a firework out of its mouth.
Bang!
Amidst celebratory explosions and whistles, colorful ribbons fell on the two people's heads.
This trainer and Pokémon are practically identical; Wei Xin clenched his fist.
After an unknown amount of time, Kerni finally opened her eyes, shyly reaching out her hand towards Wei Xin's chest, then abruptly pushing him away. Her rosy lips parted and closed, and she breathed heavily.
"Little cucumber, you!" Wei Xin exclaimed in surprise, uttering Ke Erni's nickname.
"This is—the agreement we made earlier—"
"The agreement—but, didn't I win?" Wei Xin wondered if he had misremembered the agreement. He touched his lips with his finger, which still carried the warmth and fragrance of the agreement.
Why is there a punishment even for winning?!
"Yes—yes," Korne stammered, "if you lose, you have to be my boyfriend, and if I lose—"
She poked her finger, her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes filled with girlish innocence, and a blush on her rosy cheeks: "I'm your girlfriend now."
Her eyes were full of affection, carrying an unexpected charm, which was far from the dull and wooden little cucumber in Wei Xin's memory, creating a strong contrast. If he were still an innocent man, he probably would have fallen for her on the spot, but the only problem was...
"I have a girlfriend!"
