So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 139 How to Raise Champion Gardevoir

Chapter 139 How to Raise Champion Gardevoir

"Achoo!" Mary, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, suddenly sneezed.

"Are you alright? It's the change of seasons, remember to keep warm," Wei Xin said, tilting his head back and bending over as he poked his head out from the kitchen. "Do you need me to brew you some medicine?"

On the way back, Wei Xin passed through the city and bought some medicinal herbs from a long-established pharmacy. In addition to some common medicinal herbs such as donkey-hide gelatin, plantain, lotus seeds and poria cocos, there were even plants such as ginseng root and resurrection grass.

"No need." Mary shook her head. The book said that only idiots catch colds. She wasn't stupid. Besides, trainers who had trained in the wild were in better physical condition than ordinary people. How could a mere cold overcome her willpower?

Immune system, activate!

"Never mind then," Wei Xin said, turning his head back to the kitchen. He had planned to mix those medicinal herbs with the tree fruits to research energy cubes.

In the iron pot in front of Wei Xin, the crucian carp lying inside flipped over on its own, and the exposed side was fried to a golden brown. Of course, it wasn't that the crucian carp in the pot used a resurrection technique, but rather that Ralts was using telekinesis.

Not only that, but Ralts also took care of everything else in the kitchen, from peeling and chopping vegetables to throwing the stolen Morpeko out of the kitchen, except for seasoning. This made Wei Xin's task much easier and his efficiency higher. But, "Ralts, can you get off my arm for a moment?" Wei Xin asked. "I'll keep you company after I finish cooking."

Ever since they got home, Ralts has been clinging to him. It's not that Wei Xin finds the little guy troublesome; after all, Ralts is indeed adorable, and anyone else would want to hold this little cutie 24/7.

However, Ralts's affectionate behavior has caused dissatisfaction among the other little guys in the family. As a result, now Tebrimo hangs on Weixin's hair, Eevee and Mimikyu occupy Weixin's shoulders on either side, and Ralts sits on Weixin's arm, adding dozens of kilograms of extra weight to Weixin's body.

As for the Sea Lion, since there was no room left on the trainer's body, it could only hide in the bathtub to avoid seeing or bothering it.

Fortunately, the little ones haven't grown up yet, otherwise Wei Xin really wouldn't have been able to carry them.

"Ralts!" Ralts clung tightly to Wei Xin's arm, pressing her puffed-up little face against it. Wei Xin noticed that since changing her look, Ralts had become even more clingy. She was alright outside, the little one was rather shy, but once they got home, she started acting spoiled. "Afterwards, and now, she wants it all!"

Of Wei Xin's Pokémon, only two are relatively obedient now. Tanjiro will proactively help with housework. Wei Xin also taught him how to use a search engine. Although he can only type "Tanjiro" now, he spends his free time sitting in front of the computer, clumsily looking at the search engine results, flipping through them one by one, page by page.

As for Millardon, he would be content as long as he could have some sandwiches every day.

Wei Xin persisted for a while, but ultimately couldn't withstand the pressure. His back ached, his neck was sore, and he half-forcefully placed Ralts on the table.

Then he tossed the other little ones out of the kitchen, ignoring their banging on the door.

If she throws another tantrum, her trainer might get angry, but it's unlikely that her trainer will get angry at her. So Ralts turns around and obediently helps prepare dinner.

Because the kitchen door was closed, Rotom could only squeeze in through the window.

"My lord, Miss Cynthia sent you four documents: Ralts Training Tips, Kirlia Training Tips, Gardevoir Training Tips, and One Hundred Tips for Winning Over Boys."

Wei Xin was slightly taken aback. The first three were probably training tips that Cynthia had asked Karni for, which he could understand. But what was the last one? It seemed that Cynthia hadn't even looked at the information before sending it over. How could you copy the answers and then copy the other answers as well?

And why did Karni send this to Cynthia?

For some inexplicable reason, Wei Xin had a bad feeling. Could it be that he had been opened by Karuni?

"Did Miss Cynthia say anything?" Wei Xin asked.

"No." Rotom shrugged.

Wei Xin sighed, recalling how Xilona had kicked him out of the class one day and then sent him materials the next. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head: bully him first, then give him a treat—a slap followed by a candy—and combine that with the last set of materials.

Oh no, is she using PUA tactics on me?

"What should I do, Ralts? I've been bullied by a bad woman." Wei Xin buried his face in Ralts' chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

If one day she has a change of heart, takes my Garchomp and kidnaps me to Sinnoh, then locks me in a basement where no one can find me...

What to do about steel wool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and small leather whips on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays?

Ralts didn't know what the trainer was thinking. Her telepathy could only sense and distinguish different emotions, but she knew that the trainer wasn't sad. He was just joking with her or being affectionate.

That's how boys are; they might do silly things occasionally, but they're also very easy to coax.

"Ralts!" Ralts hugged Wei Xin's head, gently stroking it with her small white hands, her eyes filled with a doting affection beyond her years.

When the long-haired trainer appeared before her, she had a strong sense of déjà vu. Then, she saw a memory that did not belong to her, and a hand that was forced to let go.

In the end, everyone was seated in the movie theater, except for her.

So this time, it shouldn't end the same way.

After dinner, it was Mary's turn to busy herself in the kitchen. Wei Xin held Ralts with Eevee on his lap and opened the training tips provided by Cynthia.

The document describes the method to maximize Ralts' potential, which involves teaching her Moon Power and Dazzling Gleam. This isn't about using a TM to teach her moves, but rather about leveraging her intuition, using materials from certain Pokémon, and stimulating her with items in a specific environment to help her learn moves beyond her level.

Instead of blindly plugging in formulas when encountering calculation problems, one should derive formulas by following the experience left by predecessors and then integrate them into a coherent understanding.

The shortest shortcut is to take the long way around.

The training of the Moon's power is divided into two stages. The first stage is the development of superpowers, enabling Ralts to use her own power to change the surrounding environment.

He was born to govern the universe, and through the changes of the universe, he transformed himself into a king.

"Condition 1: Have Ralts learn weather-related skills and master them. TMs can be used during this stage, but it will not have a significant impact on the final result."

Because Ralts has already learned Rain Dance through Lugia's empowerment, and learned it through Lugia's memory inheritance, its actual effect far exceeds that of Rain Dance of ordinary Pokémon, so it can be said that it has completed this stage of training ahead of schedule.

The second stage involves teaching Ralts to use energy in the environment to unleash skills, instead of consuming its own power, it uses its own power as a fulcrum and lever to manipulate the forces of nature.

Wei Xin recalled that many Pokémon in the anime drew power from their surroundings when unleashing powerful moves.

"There are many materials needed. First, a large amount of depleted Moon Stones, or a rock bed that can produce Moon Stones, or you can go directly to Mt. Tsukimi in the Kanto region to train. If you really don't have the conditions, you can let your Pokémon bask in the moonlight. Second, the fur of Pokémon that evolved using Moon Stones, as well as the smoke from Momonos and the feathers of Altaria. To ensure the learning effect, it is best to prepare more."

Wei Xin checked on the computer: "Mengmeng's smoke, 300,000 per liter, shelf life seven days; Qixi Bluebird feathers, freshly picked, 50,000 per pound. Except for the depleted moonstone, which is worthless and not even sold on the market."

Other materials are quite expensive, and Magic Shiny requires a lot of materials, after all, it is the champion's training method. Gardevoir from Karni is even known as the world's strongest Gardevoir. If it were Wei Xin in the past, he might have felt a toothache when he saw the price, and then turned around and thought of ways to make money.

But now, all Wei Xin does is smash the table with his bank card.

Shut up and take my money!

However, Wei Xin still plans to go to the research center tomorrow to see the professor and ask if he can get low-priced, high-quality materials through certain channels, and maybe even get a portion reimbursed.
