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

Chapter 456 I'll spoil my own sister

Lei Si looked at the fallen Dragon King Scorpion with surprise in his eyes. He couldn't understand why the Dragon King Scorpion, which had been trained for eight years, was still inferior to Li Shuwen's Poison Skull Frog, which had only been trained for half a year.

Li Shuwen seemed to see what Lei Si was thinking. "Lei Si, training Pokémon isn't just about time; it's also about the quality of the training."

"Think about it carefully. Over the years, how many training sessions have you and your Pokémon truly given your all?"

Lei Si unconsciously thought of the evaluation of his combat performance by the God of Ages: gorgeous, but empty.

Outwardly strong, inwardly empty.

Eight years of travel seemed to have extinguished the burning flame in his heart when he first left the city of Veil.

Fortunately, some embers of fire still burned within Lei Si's heart.

This battle has now added fuel to the fire in Lei Si's heart, and the flame seems to have been reignited.

The delinquent frog that he initially forced upon Li Shuwen unexpectedly became a driving force for his growth.

Lei Si looked at the Poison Skull Frog and said, "Poison Skull Frog, it was indeed my fault for not thinking things through back then, which caused you harm."

"sorry!"

Toxicroak's eyes remained calm and indifferent. Now that it had defeated Raikou's strongest Pokémon, Raikou was now just a stranger to it.

Lei Si's apology was irrelevant to Poison Skull Frog.

Back then, Poison Skull Frog didn't have any psychological trauma; he simply felt that being looked down upon by Lei Si was a great humiliation, and he had to repay him.

Focus on the issue, not the person.

Lei Si had only been subduing the unruly frog for two or three days, and they had eaten together a few times.

Given Raikou's attitude towards Pokémon, Toxtricita has absolutely no feelings for Raikou.

Li Shuwen looked at Lei Si, "So, you gave up on the Delinquent Frog back then just to give it to me?"

Lei Si nodded. "Of course, I encountered Infernape first, then Delinquent. If you don't have Delinquent, you'll have to rely on a Heartscale Pokémon."

How do I capture Infernape?

Li Shuwen thought about it and felt that Lei Si's words made a lot of sense.

It must be admitted that Raiji has a very good eye for Pokémon.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become an excellent breeder in the anime.

Shinji, seeing that Raiji's expression had visibly relaxed, asked, "Big brother, when do you plan to challenge Kamishiro-san for the third time?"

Lei Si raised an eyebrow. "Originally, I thought it was just because my team wasn't strong enough when I challenged Mr. Kamishiro last time that I failed."

"Now I realize that I have indeed lost something important, and I plan to get those things back first before taking on any challenge."

"By the way, Shinji, how many badges have you collected?"

Shinji calmly revealed his badges. "Seven. We plan to use the last badge to challenge in Viridian City."

Mewtwo has already escaped from the Viridian Gym, so Giovanni is no longer in charge of managing the Viridian Gym.

To be honest, Li Shuwen really wanted to meet Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket.

I just don't know which version of Giovanni is in their world, or if they can fight him.

Lei Si looked at Li Shuwen and said, "There are still several months before the Indigo League starts, so you don't need to rush to challenge the gyms."

"Study hard under Shuwen's guidance. When it comes to gym leaders, I don't think many are stronger than Shuwen."

Moreover, even if someone is stronger than Li Shuwen, no one can guide a trainer like Li Shuwen.

He can guide trainers better than Li Shuwen, but his strength is not as great as Li Shuwen's.

Compared to the magazine's description of the powerful but unrelated Daichi Sakaki, Li Shuwen was their best helper in their special training.

Led by Lei Si, they set up camp again by a lake.

The complex terrain here makes it more suitable for special training in the ever-changing venues of regional tournaments.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow, noticing that Li Meining's team included Snorlax, Magneton, and Heracross, Pokémon that she had only caught after arriving in the Kanto region.

Curious, he asked, "Xiao Ning, where are your other Pokémon stored? How many Pokémon do you have now?"

Li Meining scratched her hair. "I don't actually have that many Pokémon. As for where they are stored, of course it's the Yamanashi Research Institute."

Shinji exposed Li Meining's lie, saying, "She saw a Pokémon that was particularly energetic and wanted to catch it."

"Although she tried to reduce the number of Pokémon with duplicate types after my persuasion, she still owned more than twenty Pokémon."

Li Shuwen frowned. "Why wasn't it delivered to our home? Why was it sent to the Yamanashi Research Institute instead?"

Li Meining began by saying, "The Yamanashi Research Institute has many trainers who send back Pokémon from all over the world. My Pokémon are there."

"I can learn a lot of skills that I've never seen before from those Pokémon. Every time I rotate my Pokémon, I find that their strength increases significantly."

"Brother, you don't even have enough time to train your Pokémon, how could I possibly disturb your attempt to become one of the Elite Four?"

It's definitely more reliable to keep your Pokémon with veteran Pokémon professors like Professor Yamanashi and Professor Oak.

Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "You can also send a few Pokémon back to the gym. The training atmosphere here is better than at the Yamanashi Research Institute."

"Rotating between different locations will help your Pokémon grow."

Li Meining nodded, "No problem!"

This training session will be a good opportunity for her Pokémon to get to know her brother's Pokémon.

With her older brother as a role model, Li Meining believes that her Pokémon's growth rate can definitely increase even further.

After training these Pokémon for three days, Li Shuwen helped Li Meining develop a new training plan and familiarized the Pokémon with it.

After confirming that they were able to train independently, Li Meining sent them back to the Yamanashi Research Institute.

Only Lucario remained, leading the other five back for special training.

Looking at the wide variety of Pokémon, and the fact that Li Meining had absolutely no clear growth plan for these Pokémon.

Li Shuwen really wanted to teach Li Meining a lesson. If it were his younger brother, Li Shuwen would have already started hitting him.

But since she was his younger sister, Li Shuwen could only suffer in silence.

His sister, if he doesn't spoil her, who will?

Shinji, on the other hand, stayed by Li Shuwen's side, learning how to plan Pokémon training.

The person who caught the Pokémon was Li Meining, but the person who took care of the Pokémon was Shinji.

Otherwise, why would Shinji advise Li Meining to catch fewer of them?

Shinji isn't the type to meddle in other people's business.

Looking at the mosquito coil frog and the golden carp comparing their swimming speeds in the lake, Li Meining tentatively asked:

"Brother, do you think Poliwag can evolve using a Water Stone now?"

Li Shuwen rolled his eyes at her and pinched her cheek. "Whether it's suitable or not depends on you as the trainer. As long as you're not after the increased power from evolution."

"Given a suitable reason, one can naturally choose to evolve."

Li Meining nodded thoughtfully, "I understand."

As she spoke, Li Meining stretched out her hand, "Brother, give me money to buy the Water Stone."

Li Shuwen shook his head and handed the money to Li Meining.
