Chapter 69 Onion Soldiers, have come to pay their respects!
Chapter 69 Onion Soldiers, have come to pay their respects!
Li Shuwen nodded firmly, "Then let's begin a new round of training! I'll now assign everyone's training tasks."
"First up is Gallade. Your training will focus on bodybuilding skills, and strengthening your defense is your primary task."
Through today's battle, Gallade clearly realized how weak his defense was.
Bodybuilding can also enhance his strength, and combined with sharp elbow blades, it might double his attack power.
Previously, Gallade only completed the tasks assigned to him by Li Shuwen.
Today, for the first time, Gallade has developed the mindset of responding to everyone's trust and training for itself.
"After you equip the Back Attack Tail and use Bodybuilding three times, run laps around the battlefield. Once the Bodybuilding effect wears off, use Bodybuilding three more times."
"Next is Farfetch'd. Your task is to use the rocks as cover in the battle arena and attack Gallade with Quick Attack, Slash, and Brick Break."
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's arrangement, Big Green Duck frowned slightly.
He couldn't accept this training method, which was not much different from a sneak attack.
"Simply running laps won't provide enough training for Gallade. Farfetch'd, you need to put pressure on Gallade and train its leek usage skills."
"Gallade, you're only defending and not attacking."
The farfalle duck shook its head, "Quack quack!"
Li Shuwen noticed that Da Cong Ya was acting strangely.
He raised an eyebrow. Farfetch'd is a Pokémon with a chivalrous spirit.
They can lose, but they cannot launch a sneak attack.
Furthermore, one should not attack an opponent who will not retaliate.
"In that case, Farfetch'd, you can attack from the front, and Gallade can use any moves to counterattack."
Farfetch'd possesses a noble spirit, and as its trainer, Li Shuwen should naturally uphold Farfetch'd's character.
Gallade was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't one fight to the death and win? Wouldn't a sneak attack be better?
Why does Farfetch'd dislike ambushes and insist on head-on battles?
Puzzled, Gallade, carrying Backstab Tail, went to the neighboring battle arena with Farfetch'd to begin training.
"The Bad Frog, after consuming the Hundred Poison Pill and equipping itself with poison needles, trained in three skills: Bodybuilding, Brick Breaking, and Poison Strike."
Li Shuwen took a sealed box off the shelf.
Open it and take out a pill the size of a billiard ball.
The wicked frog took it and swallowed it whole, tilting its head back.
"Scaled Dragon, Skill Training."
The scales of the Kommo-o that were shattered by Garchomp have regrowed after receiving treatment from Nurse Joy.
This is a characteristic of the armored dragon: it can quickly grow new scales after its original scales are broken, and these new scales are even harder than the original ones.
Give the dragon scales some time to harden; today, we'll focus on skills training.
"Torchic, practice Spark today. Focus your mind to gather fire-attribute energy and increase the size and temperature of a single spark."
"When you can focus the sparks into one stream, you will learn to shoot flames. Learn from Swimfrog."
Torchic was taken to the backyard by Politoed to train.
Poliwrath is good at using Energy Jet, and if Torchic accidentally sets something on fire, Poliwrath can help put it out.
Fiery Monkey is itching to get started, but why hasn't he been given any training yet?
"Intense Monkey, come with me to get your new weights customized."
Other Pokémon are trained with the assistance of Machamp and Machoke.
Li Shuwen did not forget to bring the broken dragon scales of the scaled dragon.
This pot can be used for camping. My younger sister can take it with her when she goes on a trip. It can be used for cooking and also for self-defense.
Shortly after Li Shuwen left, Gallade used Quick Attack to kick away the Farfetch'd that was charging at it.
As he watched the green onion duck get up, his eyes sharpened considerably.
Gallade could only continue running forward, still puzzled.
Farfetch'd, grabbing the leek that had been knocked away, sped up and ran to Gallade.
He swung the green onion again and used Brick Break to attack Gallade.
Gallade's gaze sharpened, and with a gentle flick of its elbow, it deflected the leek and then kicked Farfetch'd away.
Gallade ran four laps and kicked Farfetch'd for the thirteenth time.
This time, Farfetch'd got up and quacked loudly at Gallade.
Farfetch'd wants Gallade to attack him with its elbow blade instead of its foot.
It wasn't because Farfetch'd used its feet that it felt Gallade disrespected it.
Rather, it is the elbow blade that represents Gallade's strongest attack.
Farfetch'd hopes Gallade will use its full power against him!
Gallade was taken aback. He didn't understand why Farfetch'd wanted him to use his full strength.
"Ailu!"
But since it was Farfetch'd's request, he naturally agreed.
For the fourteenth time, Farfetch'd used a combo attack on Gallade.
Gallade responded with a combo attack.
With one slash, the scallion is sliced open; with two or three more slashes, the duck breast is cut open with the scallion.
A few feathers fluttered, and the Farfetch'd landed among the rocks.
This time, the green onion duck held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
As a knight, one must never lose his weapon.
Gallade ran, and Farfetch'd reappeared in front of Gallade, propped up by its leek.
Even as it began to pant heavily, Farfetch'd's eyes remained resolute and unwavering.
Farfetch'd's spirit moved Gallade deeply.
Gallade activated its Psychic Blade, passing through Farfetch'd's Brick Break and slicing Farfetch'd away with a single strike.
Big Green Duck lay on the ground, looking at the incandescent light of the battlefield, feeling the burning pain in his chest, and breathing heavily to calm himself down.
After a long while, he used the green onion to support his body and staggered to his feet.
This time, Farfetch'd couldn't bring itself to appear in front of Gallade.
He could only hold the green onion tightly and wait for Gallade to run over.
Even though Farfetch'd was already on its last legs, they still kept fighting.
Gallade couldn't understand.
Is it really necessary for Farfetch'd to go to such lengths for just a training session?
Gallade's blade... made her hesitate unconsciously.
But the green onion duck... a glint of light flashed in its eyes as it seized this fleeting opportunity.
The green onion flashed with a yellowish-green light and struck Gallade hard.
A series of consecutive kills!
Suddenly, Gallade's center gate was wide open.
Hit the vital point!
The giant green duck turned around and unleashed another flurry of attacks!
Another fatal blow!
The green onion duck gritted its teeth and swung its green onion for the final chop!
Still...hit the vital spot!
The immense force caused Gallade to stagger back several steps, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The giant green onion duck... after being hit by him so many times, it was like a candle flickering in the wind, yet it still had the strength to launch such an attack at him.
Moreover, those three blows were very accurate, very skillful, and very painful, completely exceeding the level that Green Onion Duck should be at.
Gallade seemed to sense Farfetch'd's spirit from the attack just now.
Big Farfetch'd, what exactly supports your body to launch such an attack?
To Gallade's surprise, Farfetch'd, which was kneeling on the ground, emitted a white light.
This is... evolution!
Gallade was even more shocked, never expecting Farfetch'd to evolve after just one training session.
The green onion in Farfetch'd's hand split open, the white part transforming into a long sword and the green part into a shield.
Its entire body feathers turned pure white, and its sharp eyes resembled those of a proud knight.
Onion Soldiers, come to pay your respects!
