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

Chapter 106 Using Martial Arts to Determine the Fate

Li Meining rushed excitedly to Li Shuwen, "Wait, why do you have Aura? I'm the one who trains Riolu!"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Just because someone isn't a Riolu trainer doesn't mean they'll definitely have Aura. Aura is a talent, and unfortunately, you don't have that talent."

"But the fact that you don't have Aura doesn't mean you can't train Riolu well. As long as you and Riolu are of one mind, you can strengthen Riolu's Aura!"

Li Meining blinked. "Really?"

Li Meining's face was filled with disbelief.

Akai looked at Li Shuwen excitedly, "Master, do I have the talent for this wave-guiding power?"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "You don't have that either, but your fighting talent is outstanding."

The power of waveguide cannot be learned later in life. At least Li Shuwen did not master the method of activating waveguide power later in life, nor did he have the Eight Gates Formation to teach Akai.

Li Shuwen thought of something that would be perfect for Akai to learn.

Bajiquan!

I hadn't originally planned to let Akai see the scroll of evil so soon.

But Akai is indeed talented.

Moreover, he could sense that Guy was a kind person without using the power of aura.

Don't worry about raising an ungrateful child.

Li Shuwen entered the room and took out the scroll of evil for Akai to see.

"By studying this scroll, you can learn a legendary martial art. Although it lacks the power of wave guidance, it will allow you to cultivate true qi. With true qi, you can become an outstanding fighter."

When Guy uses Dark Strike, isn't he just another kind of Night Guy?

Ah Kai bowed deeply, "Master, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"

Compared to Li Meining, who easily learned Bajiquan by looking at the pictures in the "Evil Scroll".

Ah Kai's learning speed of Bajiquan was much slower.

Akai did not choose to watch all the moves of Bajiquan at once.

He focused intently on the first move, studying it repeatedly.

Ah Kai stood in front of the scroll of evil, practicing the first move of Bajiquan over and over again.

Kai's comprehension isn't particularly good, but his perseverance and recovery ability are absolutely rare in the world.

His mastery of Bajiquan might even surpass that of Li Meining.

To Li Shuwen, the two of them were like the tortoise and the hare in a race.

Li Meining, this rabbit, may not necessarily run farther than Akai, this tortoise.

Li Shuwen looked at Li Meining, "Xiaoning, prepare the secret medicine from the Veil Dojo for Akai. After practicing Bajiquan, Akai's body needs the secret medicine to replenish his nutrition."

Li Meining smiled and shook her head, "The secret medicine isn't cheap. Looks like Akai'll be working for you for free for the rest of his life~"

Li Shuwen glared at Li Meining, "Why do you talk so much!"

Ah Kai stopped practicing his boxing. "My master has taught me such profound secrets; it would be only right that I work for him for free for the rest of my life!"

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "It certainly won't be for a lifetime, but for the first three years, I'll only be responsible for your food and drink. After that, I'll pay you a salary based on your performance."

Ah Kai nodded excitedly, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. Today I will practice the first move of Bajiquan a thousand times, or I won't eat dinner!"

Li Meining took out a bottle of secret medicine. "Take one after you finish training. But if you don't eat, who's going to cook dinner?"

Ah Kai nodded, "Then I'll continue my cultivation after I finish cooking!"

Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Alright, stop teasing Kai."

Lung Mist Old Man, who had been wandering off somewhere these past few days, suddenly reappeared.

"I see construction going on in our backyard. What are you planning to do?"

Looking at her father's dirty appearance, Li Meining asked, "Dad, where have you been?"

Li Dazhuang said proudly, "I've gone out to sea to fish."

Li Meining held out her hand. "Where's the fish?"

The old man with lung fog answered matter-of-factly, "Didn't catch anything!"

Li Shuwen waved, "Dad, it's just in time for you to come back. You'll be in charge of receiving challengers at the Veil Dojo these next few days. I'm taking Xiao Ning to the Wild Area."

"She's going on a trip soon, and having more Pokémon will help her cope with the complex environments in the wild."

Li Dazhuang's eyes widened. "Awen, how could you let Xiaoning go on a trip alone?!"

Li Shuwen nodded. "So I specially found her a companion, which is Raiji's younger brother, Shinji."

Li Dazhuang suddenly realized, "It's that little guy who always gets first place in every exam. It's really reassuring to have him and Xiao Ning traveling together."

Li Shuwen then looked at Kai and said, "Kai, after I leave, keep an eye on him and make sure he stays at the gym and accepts challenges from trainers."

"You'll also be in charge of cleaning the gym and feeding Dad's Pokémon three meals a day."

With Akai watching over him, Lung Fog Dad won't be let out to play games by Li Meining like last time.

Ah Kai nodded immediately, "Yes, Master!"

Li Dazhuang's eyes widened. "Awen, you've even taken on an apprentice!"

He only went out to sea to fish for a few days, how come such a big change happened in his home?

Li Shuwen nodded calmly, "That's right. Next, the Veil Dojo will gradually operate normally like other dojos, after I go to participate in the dojo ranking competition."

"The Veil Dojo should be carried forward and flourish under my leadership."

The father with lung ulcers nodded firmly, "He truly is my son!"

Li Shuwen rolled his eyes, as if he were someone raised by Lung Fog's father.

"Kai, although my dad is a bit unreliable, he's a pretty good fighter. If there's anything you don't understand about Bajiquan, you can ask him for help."

When the old man with lung fog saw the scroll of evil, his eyes widened in shock.

"Where did you get such an unparalleled manual, Awen? With this scroll, the Veiled Dojo can be passed down steadily!"

"Just by looking at it twice, I could sense an unparalleled martial will that would determine the fate of the world through martial prowess!"

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "It was a gift from a friend. If you're interested, you can practice with it."

Lung Mist Old Man chuckled. "I'll pass. I'm too old; I won't achieve anything by training anymore. The Veil Dojo belongs to you young people!"

With Lung Fog's talent, if he can pull himself together, even at nearly forty years old, he will still achieve great success in practicing Bajiquan.

Li Meining's martial arts talent of learning Bajiquan from pictures was entirely inherited from her father, Fei Wu.

Having cultivated for many years, Old Man Lung Mist was able to see the martial arts will contained within the scroll of evil at a glance.

But with his energy and spirit depleted, it's already quite an achievement that Lung Fog Old Man can maintain his current level.

The loss of motivation is why Li Shuwen calls him "Lung Fog Daddy".

Li Shuwen called Shinji, "Shinji, I'm planning to take you and Xiaoning to the Wilderness Area."

"Go inside and see if there are any Pokémon you want to catch. That way, your journey will be safer. Then I'll take you directly to Sandgum Town to catch a boat to the Kanto region."

"I can also pay a visit to Dr. Yamanashi while I'm at it."

Shinji raised an eyebrow. He wasn't really keen on going to the Safari Zone to catch Pokémon, but since he was going to visit Professor Yamanashi later, he had to go to the Safari Zone.

As a trainer with excellent character and academic performance, Shinji would definitely want to visit Professor Yamanashi and consult him on some of his doubts.

"Okay, when do we set off? I'd love to ask Dr. Yamanashi for his advice in person."

"Tomorrow, I'll rent a car and drive directly to the wilderness area, and then..."

Yes, you can ask Dr. Yamanashi about the bad frog problem!

Li Shuwen shook his head; he was truly guarding a treasure while searching for another.

A leaf can block the view!

"Then go directly to the Yamanashi Research Institute, stay overnight, and if you have any questions, you can ask Dr. Yamanashi directly."
