Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 319 Riko: I am terrifyingly strong now!

Tao Dailang looked over and saw Zygarde's projection appear not far away. It looked like a core vortex worm and did not seem to pose any threat.

Most legendary Pokémon have the ability to create their own holographic projection in various locations.

As a Zygarde whose cells are everywhere, it also possesses such power.

When Momotaro left, Zygarde followed and spent some time there, learning about Momotaro's past.

As for why they didn't take action?

Kirchner said this was completely unnecessary.

"It's you..."

Upon recognizing the newcomer as Zygarde, Momotaros calmed down from its earlier surprise.

"Yes, it's me."

Zygard just stared at Momotaro, his eyes completely unmoved.

The insect and the peach stared at each other.

In the end, Zygard sighed softly.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. All I can say is, don't go too far."

"I have my reasons, Zygarde, so don't worry too much about me. Instead, worry about what's going to happen next. If I remember correctly, the events over there will soon enter their initial stages, won't they?"

Tao Dailang clearly knew something.

"More or less. The earth's veins are wailing, and space is becoming increasingly fragile. I'm afraid that day will eventually come."

Zygard nodded slightly, then said, "However, this is just an appetizer, as I think you are well aware of."

"That's natural."

Tao Dailang closed his shell, seemingly wanting to see the guest out: "I have my own plans, Zygarde, you should focus on your own things first."

"Um."

Zygard said no more, but instead dispersed the projection and bid farewell.

……

……

Donghuang area, Fujian Province, Xiamen.

"It's all over now, there's no need to worry too much."

Zigeld jumped onto Li Luochen's shoulder, gazing into the distance: "Let's focus on the present. There are many things to deal with, and you are an indispensable member."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to value me so much."

Li Luochen glanced at his phone; it was the darkest part of the night. "However, if there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

"There's no need to be so stressed; just take each day as it comes."

Zygarde told Li Luochen to calm down, and then said, "If possible... we should try to train some powerful trainers. After all, more strength means more hope."

"Alright, that's also the duty of a gym leader. However, there are still quite a few trainers who meet my standards."

When it came to training trainers, Li Luochen seemed somewhat troubled.

To be honest, his vision is not very broad.

If someone could do what he did, even while taking it easy, and still manage to train a solid, elite Pokémon in about six months, that would be great.

But a pity.

The trainers he encountered were too impetuous.

Only Ash and Gary fit his requirements.

"It's alright. This isn't something you can force. Just take things as they come. If you happen to encounter it, that's naturally a good thing."

Kigeld chuckled, noting that it was getting late, and told Li Luochen to get some rest.

……

……

A week has passed quietly.

In the week leading up to the provincial-level dojo promotion conference, Li Luochen had a very fulfilling time.

At this moment, there is still some preparation time before the start of the competition.

Li Luochen was not idle.

They are currently at the battleground of the hotel under the League's control, providing special training for Ash and Gary.

"Fossil Pteranodon, Stone Attack!"

"Nidoking, power of the earth!"

Ash and Gary gave the order almost simultaneously.

The fossil pterosaur flapped its wings and soared into the air, unleashing countless sharp rock blades; Nidoking stomped its four feet on the ground, causing the ground to suddenly rise, and waves of earthy yellow energy spread outwards, surging towards Taleborgs!

However, Talebagos simply stood there quietly.

A layer of crystalline shield quietly appeared in front of it.

The sharp rocks were completely absorbed the moment they collided with the ground waves, as if they had been thrown into the sea.

The next second, the shield suddenly lit up brightly.

A beam of azure crystalline light shot out from it, sweeping across the sky!

The fossil pterosaur had no time to dodge and was hit head-on, falling with a scream; Nidoking was also hit by the aftershock, its massive body flipping backward.

One strike, two down!

"Hiss~!"

Ash gasped as he looked at the Aerodactyl that had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up.

He turned to look at Li Luochen, his eyes filled with a mixture of astonishment and admiration: "Luochen, your Talebages are amazing!"

You have to understand, when I first subdued the fossil pterosaur, I really put in a lot of effort.

After joining the team, this fossil ape-dragon became the one with the highest stats in the team.

But the result?

He was taken down in one move by a "normal form" of Talebagos!

Xiao Zhi scratched the back of his head, his tone a mix of resentment and resignation: "Luo Chen, when do you think I'll be able to improve to the point where I can beat you?"

"Hmm...pretty fast, right?"

If it were anyone else, Li Luochen would have just been joking around, making empty promises.

It's Xiao Zhi who can ask himself questions!

If things go as expected, Ash's Pikachu will likely reach Master level, or even higher, within a year and a half.

Thinking of this, Li Luochen scratched Pikachu's chin again, making it bark comfortably a few times.

"Pikachu~"

After spending so many days together, Pikachu felt that it had things in common with Li Luochen.

In particular, there is a dish called Lychee Pork in Fuzhou, which is made with tomato sauce as a seasoning, making Pikachu very happy.

even.

Pikachu thinks, Ash, why don't you just stay in the Eastern Region for the long term?

Especially Fuzhou, Pikachu thinks it's a good place to settle down.

"You idiot Ash, you're a long way from defeating Gym Leader Luo Chen. You can't even beat me now, and you want to defeat Gym Leader Luo Chen? Heh, you're dreaming."

Shigeru still enjoys bickering with Satoshi.

"You cocky little Mao!"

"You idiot, Ash!"

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. I can barely hear you on the phone."

Li Luochen was in a state of constant amusement and exasperation dealing with these two bickering lovers.

Right now, he's on the phone with Rico.

The conversation also revolved around Talebagos.

"Riko, did you see the battle clearly just now? First, memorize all the moves that Talebages can learn, and then make full use of the different Crystal types when facing different Pokémon."

If you were to ask what makes Talebages special, it would be their versatility.

By altering the properties of the crystal, one can gain an advantage in terms of attributes.

If used properly, it is equivalent to defeating all enemies!

"Yes, yes! I've got it! Thank you for your guidance, Master Luo Chen!"

Lico took notes in her notebook, recording the insights and experiences Li Luochen had shared with her over the past few days.

This also made Rico feel...

This is her now.

Terrifyingly strong!
