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

Chapter 705 This guy on the other side is an unparalleled master!

Ash burst out of the bushes, clenching his fists, his eyes burning with eager anticipation.

"Brother Shuwen! I also want to try this Jeep training!"

Li Shuwen asked with a smile:

"Would you like to try?"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously.

Why?

Xiao Zhi said without hesitation, "Mei Ning's move just now was so cool! I want to be able to do that too!"

Li Shuwen looked at him for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"You can't do it."

Xiao Zhi was stunned.

"Why?!"

Li Shuwen walked up to Xiao Zhi.

"Mine was able to complete that training because she had a background in martial arts from a young age, had a partner like Lucario who could resonate with her Aura, and also..."

Li Shuwen paused for a moment, then said, "She has reached a point where she and Lucario can be one in spirit."

He looked down at Xiaozhi.

"And you?"

Xiao Zhi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Trying to skip the foundation and build a skyscraper directly," Li Shuwen said calmly, "will cause the building to collapse."

Pikachu nodded frantically beside Ash, patting his leg with its little paws.

Xiao Zhi remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he raised his head, his eyes still shining.

"Then... Brother Shuwen, teach me the basics!"

Li Shuwen looked at him.

Those eyes were clear and firm, with a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

Li Shuwen slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"Let's go."

Li Shuwen packed his gear and turned to walk into the mountains.

Ash paused for a moment, then cheered, picked up Pikachu, and followed.

The group arrived deep in the mountains and forests, at a vast grassland.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

In the distance, there was the sound of a stream, and occasionally the calls of wild Pokémon.

Li Shuwen stood in the middle of the grass, turned around and looked at Xiaozhi.

"The first rule of combat."

His voice was calm, yet it possessed a power that made people involuntarily straighten their backs.

"Standing posture".

Xiao Zhi quickly stood up straight, feet together, hands pressed tightly against the seams of his pants.

Li Shuwen glanced at him.

"Are you here for military training?"

Ash: "..."

Li Shuwen walked over, gently kicked Xiao Zhi's ankle with his toe, pressed down on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and pressed down slightly.

"Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and your center of gravity lowered. This is not a horse stance, but rather a posture that puts your body in a state where you can generate power at any time."

Then he twisted Xiaozhi's arm again.

"Raise your hands naturally to protect your chest and head, and prepare for defense."

Xiao Zhi was manipulated like a puppet, not daring to move at all.

"Got it?"

"Got it!"

"Okay." Li Shuwen took a step back. "Hold this position for ten minutes."

Xiao Zhi's eyes widened.

"Ten minutes?!"

Li Shuwen had already turned and walked towards Pikachu.

"I'm counting."

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and stood there obediently.

Li Shuwen squatted down in front of Pikachu.

Pikachu looked at him and nervously shrank its neck.

"Don't be afraid." Li Shuwen held out his hand. "Let me see your strength."

Pikachu hesitated for a moment, then reached out its little paw and touched his hand.

Li Shuwen's aura gently swept across Pikachu's body.

That familiar electrical energy surged within me, active and abundant, yet lacking control.

It's like a rushing river without a dam.

"Pikachu," Li Shuwen pointed to a tree ten meters away, "use 100,000 volts to hit that leaf."

Pikachu looked at the tree, then at Li Shuwen, and nodded.

"Pikachu!"

Golden lightning surged from the electric sacs in Pikachu's cheeks, transforming into a thick arc of electricity that blasted towards the tree.

boom!

An electric arc struck the tree trunk, exploding it into a charred mess. The leaf was long gone, its whereabouts unknown.

Li Shuwen remained silent.

He pointed to another leaf.

"Again."

Pikachu unleashed another 100,000 volt.

This time, the electric arc deviated even further.

After several attempts, Pikachu, panting, looked at the leaf that remained unharmed, its eyes filled with frustration.

"Pikachu..."

Li Shuwen squatted down and looked at Pikachu at eye level.

"You are very strong," he said, "but more strength is not always better."

He pointed to the rushing stream.

"Look at that stream. The current is very rapid, but it stays in the riverbed and doesn't wander off because it has banks."

Li Shuwen then pointed to Pikachu.

"Your power is like water without banks; if you let it out, it will run wild. You can hit a tree trunk because the trunk is big."

"But the leaves are too small; you can't control such a precise attack."

Pikachu seemed to be deep in thought.

“Starting today,” Li Shuwen said, “we will not train power, we will train control.”

He took out a small pebble and placed it on a rock ten meters away.

"Throw 100,000 volts at this pebble."

Pikachu's eyes widened.

That pebble was only the size of a thumb.

"Pikachu..."

"Take your time," Li Shuwen stood up. "No rush."

Ash's voice came from behind:

"Brother Shuwen... how much longer...?"

Li Shuwen didn't even turn his head.

"Seven minutes, is that not enough?"

Ash gritted his teeth, "I can do it! Don't underestimate my fighting spirit!"

The boy's legs were trembling, but his eyes remained unchanged.

Pikachu's little paws were trembling, but it would let out an excited cry every time it hit a pebble.

Li Shuwen's lips curled up slightly.

These two are interesting.

"alright."

Xiao Zhi felt like he had been granted a pardon, and he plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

Pikachu lay sprawled beside him, its little belly bobbing up and down.

Li Shuwen walked over and handed each of them a bottle of water.

"We'll continue this afternoon."

Xiao Zhi took the water, and after taking a sip, he froze upon hearing these words.

"Again?!"

Li Shuwen looked at him.

"You think you can master it in a day?"

Xiao Zhi fell silent.

Then take a deep breath and stand up.

"Okay! We'll continue this afternoon!"

Pikachu looked at him with a very complex expression.

I felt both proud and helpless.

Li Shuwen called Li Meining, who was training next door, and began preparing lunch.

The fragrance wafted through the mountains and forests on the wind.

A hearty laugh echoed from the woods.

"Haha! It smells so good! What's this smell?!"

A tall figure leaped and landed beside the crowd.

He was a muscular man with bronze skin and a champion's belt around his waist.

Wearing an open martial arts uniform that revealed his muscular chest, he exuded an aura of "I'm a great fighter, I'm a master."

The visitor was none other than Shiba!

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, a master of fighting techniques.

"I was training in the mountains when I suddenly smelled a delicious aroma, and I followed the scent here!"

Shiba sniffed again. "What is this? It smells amazing!"

Li Shuwen turned around and looked at the uninvited guest.

Shiba was looking at him too.

The two stared at each other for a second.

Master!

An absolute master!

Both of them were secretly surprised; the martial arts skills of the guy opposite them were absolutely rare in the world.

Shiba never expected that the person opposite him, at such a young age, would have martial arts skills that were no less than his own.

Li Shuwen was also surprised by the good body he had obtained through so many system simulations.

The physique that Shiba had trained was actually able to keep up with him.

Li Shuwen nodded, which was considered a greeting.

"Since you're here, let's eat together."

Shiba burst into laughter.

"Great! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
