Chapter 2 Introducing a Girlfriend
Chapter 2 Introducing a Girlfriend
Li Shuwen pressed the stopwatch to record the time it took for Xinlinbao to use Dragon Dance.
The entire process, from start to finish, took 1 second and 53 seconds.
"Heartscale Baby, one more time!"
1 seconds 42.
"One more time, and Doragon will be swept to death!"
1 seconds 37.
"continue!"
1 seconds 34.
……
1 seconds 30.
Five uses of Dragon Dance; the time taken to use Dragon Dance has improved slightly compared to yesterday.
After four speed-up iterations of Dragon Dance, the time for the fifth Dragon Dance finally improved from 1.31 seconds to 1.30 seconds.
It may seem like a small step, but it really is a small step.
With such a slight speed increase, the difference is barely noticeable in actual combat.
Watching the Heartscale Treasure's body gently sway, radiating a blue-purple dragon-shaped glow, nourishing the Heartscale Treasure's body to become stronger and more agile, even its scales shone brightly.
Li Shuwen thought of his good brother whom he met five years ago on the Trainer Forum and who he has been with ever since.
My good friend often complains about why his Garchomp can't learn Dragon Dance.
Five years ago, Li Shuwen consulted a forum about the evolution of Dragon-type Pokémon.
After three years of nurturing, Xinlinbao still hasn't shown any signs of life.
Li Shuwen suspected that there might be something wrong with his method of cultivating the Heartscale Treasure.
As the grand prize of the Curtain Game City, Heartscale Treasure is definitely not the problem. So the only problem must be with Trainer Li Shuwen.
It turned out that after consulting with them, I learned that Dragon-type Pokémon are indeed very resource-intensive, relying heavily on experience and resources.
They eat a lot, but grow slowly.
What stands out is that they achieve success later in life.
If it's something like Dratini, Gible, or Basilisk, then it's an even greater example of late bloomers.
Li Shuwen really wanted to go to the Galar region, capture an Aluminosi Dragon, and show these guys what it means to be a promising young man.
As for why I didn't go, it wasn't because I couldn't afford a plane ticket to the Galar region. After all, if I couldn't afford a plane ticket, I could still buy a ferry ticket.
If you can't afford a boat ticket, you can ride in a cargo container.
Containers go, containers come back, perfect!
The real reason is actually... Heartscale Dragon can't beat Aluminum Steel Dragon.
At the time, on the forum, his good friend enthusiastically introduced Li Shuwen to the knowledge points of raising young Dragon-type Pokémon, helping Li Shuwen avoid the pitfalls that "he" had fallen into.
My good friend said that his grandmother gave him a giblet when he was six years old.
It wasn't until he set off on his journey at the age of ten, and after nearly a year of defeating countless opponents, that Gible evolved into Garchomp.
As a result, it took five years for Gible to evolve into Garchomp, but only three years for the good buddy Garchomp to evolve into Garchomp.
My good friend said that ever since he met Li Shuwen, he and Garchomp seem to have improved much faster. Li Shuwen is simply their lucky star.
What could Li Shuwen do? He could only study all the Dragon Dance instruction books he could find on the market and urge Xinlinbao to practice.
When Li Shuwen was fifteen years old, Xinlinbao successfully mastered the Dragon Dance.
When his best friend shows off his Garchomp, Li Shuwen can end the conversation with the line, "Largonauts will use Dragon Dance."
"Heartscale Treasure, Battle Cry!"
A deafening roar erupted from the tiny body of the Heartscale Treasure.
"Heartscale Treasure, Iron Wall!"
A metallic sheen flashed across the surface of the dragon scales, enhancing the defensive capabilities of the Heartscale Treasure.
"Heartscale Treasure, Dragon Tail!"
Dragon Tail is the only attack skill that Li Shuwen trained Xinlinbao to use.
Dragon Dance, War Cry, Iron Wall, and Dragon Tail are the most suitable skills for Heartscale to use for training and becoming stronger.
Skill training not only improves a Pokémon's skill proficiency, but also enhances the strength of various physical abilities.
Dragon Dance increases attack and speed, Iron Wall increases defense, War Cry increases lung capacity and pitch, and Dragon Tail trains Heartscale's tail.
From Heartscale and Kommo-o to Stafftail Kommo-o, the tail has always been the most important weapon.
After training, I fed Heartscale a bowl of muscle-building and bone-strengthening Pokémon food and put it back in its Poké Ball to rest.
Li Shuwen returned to his room, lay down on a recliner, and logged into the Sinnoh Trainers Forum on his phone.
[Singing Heartscale: Bro, my talent has awakened! Next year you'll see a completely transformed Heartscale and me, successfully taking over as Gym Leaders of the Veiled Dojo!]
[Shark Warrior: Congratulations! I'll definitely send a gift to show my appreciation.]
[Heart-Piercing Baby Who Loves to Sing: No need for gifts, bro. You've traveled to so many places, you must know where there are pretty girls to help you unwind after your journey, right?]
[Shark Warrior: You're not talking about...that kind of place, are you?]
[Heart-Scaled Baby Who Loves to Sing: Yes, can you arrange that?]
[Shark Warrior: We're all good brothers, let's get this done!]
The blonde girl blushed slightly. Ugh, you pervert!
How could you send a girl to a place like that?!
[Heart-Scale Treasure Who Loves to Sing: Best Brother!]
After rubbing her face and thinking carefully, the blonde girl continued typing.
[Shark Warrior: Why would you want to go to a place like that? Are you so thirsty? Are you lonely and craving women? Dude, I advise you, instead of going to a place like that, you should find a girlfriend.]
[Heart-Scaled Baby Who Loves to Sing: That works too...?]
[Shark Warrior: So tell me, what kind of person do you like?]
[Heart-Piercing Baby Who Loves to Sing: High ponytail, intellectual look, pure cotton clothing, business attire, preferably with round black-rimmed glasses.]
[Shark Warrior: ??? I can understand each word individually, but why can't I understand them when they're put together?]
[Heart-Like-Toothed Baby: You know, the most important thing about liking someone is that inexplicable feeling.]
[Shark Warrior: Okay, I'll try to find it for you. Don't blame me if I can't find it.]
[Heart-Scaled Treasure Who Loves to Sing: Thanks, bro!]
He spends all his time at the Veil Dojo, where all sorts of fighters come and go, some pure muscle, others just fat covering their muscles.
Li Shuwen's only remaining way to find a girlfriend is to ask online.
[Heartscale Baby Who Loves to Sing: Did you read the book I recommended to you last time, "The Evolution of Scale Functions in the Gible Series of Pokémon"?]
Cynthia bit her lip and patted her rosy cheeks.
Get rid of the image in your mind of yourself dressed as an intellectual professional woman.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen's question, Cynthia quickly typed a reply.
[Shark Warrior: I saw it. I didn't expect that Gible's scales could guide Pokémon to learn Dragon Dance, but Gible has a strong ability to adapt to its own scales.]
It's impossible to teach Garchomp Dragon Dance by making it eat Gible scales.
[Singing Heartbeat: No, this recipe also mentions two Dragon-type Pokémon, Millipod and Noboo. Using their ingredients might make up for the lack of Garchomp.]
[So you'll learn Dragon Dance! Last time you said you encountered a really strong trainer and lost the battle. With Dragon Dance, you'll definitely win.]
[Shark Warrior: Thank you, I'll take this matter of helping you find a girlfriend to heart.]
Cynthia rubbed her burning cheeks, wondering if she should buy an outfit based on Li Shuwen's description, so she could sneak a peek at him next time she went to Veil City.
After the chat ended, Li Shuwen took down a copy of "How to Cleverly Combine Fruits to Make Satisfactory Elf Food" (Third Revised Edition) from the bookshelf and looked at the newly discovered fruits mentioned in it.
Just like traditional Chinese medicine, the effects of tree fruits vary greatly depending on their place of origin.
Identifying tree fruits is a rigorous science.
Li Shuwen strongly suspects that all the tree fruits were actually discovered at once.
The publisher only updates a few types of fruit each time in order to make money.
If you want to learn, you have to buy it.
The difference in effectiveness between wild tree fruits and commercially bred tree fruits is not just one or two times.
If you want to make good use of tree fruits, you must buy these reference books.
After reading a few pages, Li Shuwen found that he couldn't concentrate at all.
With the golden finger in hand, I simply couldn't control my restless heart.
Since I failed at cultivating my mind, I might as well just try Pokémon simulation.
