Chapter 173: Chapter 136: Pain and Pleasure (Two Chapters Combined)

”What was that? The healing effect is just too exaggerated!”

Naoki: ”This is the power of culinary arts.”

Carter: ”??”

Wait! Does ordinary food have such effects?

Seeing Carter’s puzzled expression, Naoki chuckled and half-jokingly explained:

”It’s not ordinary food. It’s an ability I was born with that allows me to infuse my intentions and emotions into the food during the cooking process, thus creating dishes that help Pokemon grow.”

In the future, the Pokemon on the farm will surely attract attention, so it’s better to be prepared in advance. After all, this world already has some mysterious abilities.

Could there really be such a power? Carter was stunned for a moment and then thought of something: ”Is it similar to Psychic, Aura, and the Power of Viridian?”

The academy library has books documenting these kinds of abilities.

Unlike Pokemon, these powers are bestowed upon fortunate humans, granting them these miraculous abilities.

Psychic power has effects similar to those of Psychic Type Pokemon.

Aura is said to enable sensing all things. In ancient times, those with such power were called Aura Guardians.

The Power of Viridian is the most special; it only appears in humans living near the Viridian Forest.

It’s said they are blessed by nature, and humans with the Power of Viridian can use this power to heal Pokemon and connect with their intentions.

”That’s right.” Naoki nodded.

”I see...” Having understood this, Carter was no longer confused and turned his attention to Gogoat: ”Was that move just now Vine Whip?”

”Yes, when you train Vine Whip to its limits, situations like that can happen.”

Saying this, Naoki glanced at Gogoat, who was eager for more, and asked, ”Do you want to continue the challenge?”

Upon hearing this, Carter looked at the seemingly ordinary Gogoat.

Images of Gogoat’s impressive moves just flashed in his mind.

Grassy Terrain, Horn Leech, Vine Whip...

Gogoat defeated Delibird with just one Vine Whip, going against the type disadvantage.

Clearly, he and Delibird were no match for Gogoat as they were now.

Instinctively, Carter felt like retreating, as Gogoat’s displayed strength far surpassed the Gym Leaders he had faced before.

But just then, seeing the formidable Gogoat, Delibird’s fighting spirit was ignited, and it bravely faced Gogoat.

”Deli!”

Carter was momentarily taken aback, then understood Delibird’s intention.

Alright! Let’s battle again!

Naoki was a bit surprised to see this scene.

He hadn’t expected that this Delibird would be such a determined Pokemon.

However, he said nothing more, just, ”You’re welcome anytime.”

After a pause, he reminded, ”Don’t approach this trial with a normal mindset; winning isn’t the goal. The goal is to gain more experience from the battle and learn how to face strong opponents.”

”Imagine yourself as the Champion of the Paldea Region, and think about how the Champion would act.”

Hearing these words, Carter felt enlightened, and he gratefully thanked Naoki: ”Thank you so much for your teaching, Mr. Naoki, I understand now!”

Naoki let out a sigh of relief. Tricking wild Trainers to help Gogoat blow off steam was like harvesting wheat; before achieving the goal, the wheat shouldn’t be neglected.

He announced, ”Then let’s start!”

This time, Carter changed his battle style.

He used a tactical retreat, dodging Gogoat’s Vine Whip pursuits and looking for opportunities to attack.

Gradually, he and Delibird put all their energy into the battle.

Just when Carter thought he and Delibird were getting the hang of it, Gogoat unexpectedly changed its style.

It bent down slightly, its eyes full of determination locking onto the airborne Delibird, and the Grass Type Energy in its mouth surged wildly, forming a gigantic grassy blade.

The next second, Gogoat charged forward with incredible agility.

The huge blade slashed through, and Delibird’s body was instantly knocked flying, crashing to the ground, unable to continue fighting.

Instant knockout! Another instant knockout!

Carter’s face showed shock once again.

After Naoki fed Delibird some Berry Milk, Carter hurriedly asked, ”What... what... what move was that?! Can Gogoat use such a move?”

”Leaf Blade.” Naoki concisely replied, ”Just used in a different way, but Gogoat not only used Leaf Blade but also the Flying Type Aerial Ace.”

Aerial Ace + Leaf Blade, closing in with Aerial Ace and attacking with Leaf Blade, instantly knocking Delibird to the ground.

Carter: ”...”

My goodness! What Pokemon uses Leaf Blade like that? Even the Grass Gym Leader’s Grass Type Pokemon don’t use Leaf Blade this way?!

This just defies logic!

No, to be precise, this Gogoat’s strength is just terrifying!

Gym Leader? Elite? Or Champion?

Being instantly knocked out twice in a row, Carter felt a bit pained, but on second thought, having an opponent with Elite Level strength as a sparring partner, isn’t that just amazing?

Seeing the expression on this kid’s face, Naoki chuckled and asked, ”Are you going to give up?”

Carter took a deep breath, feeling both pain and joy, and resolutely shook his head: ”No! We must pass this trial!”
