Chapter 182 The invincible super rookie has fallen!
The research institute's underground battlefield.
Bai Zhou stood leisurely with his arms crossed.
Looking with interest at Xiao Zhi, who was sitting on a small wooden stool, hunched over, looking as if he had turned into a black and white painting and was completely "burnt out", he nodded in satisfaction.
Because of Ash's special "super rookie" physique, Bai Zhou didn't treat him like a human being at all when training him.
Under the incredibly intense and inhumane pressure training, the invincible super rookie collapsed!
In contrast, the training results are extremely encouraging.
Xiao Zhi has already made a basic understanding of "Tai Chi" (physics).
Although his "Tai Chi" is more like using his absolutely powerful physical body to withstand all the damage, and then returning it with even more brute force, it doesn't matter.
Bai Zhou adheres to pragmatism; as long as it works, that's enough.
Pikachu nimbly jumped down from Bai Zhou's arms, skillfully climbed onto Ash who seemed to have lost his soul, and carefully used its little paws to help him relax his muscles after the battle.
Bai Zhou turned around and stood next to the "coach" Lie Kong Zuo, who was floating in the air with his arms crossed and occasionally tapping his dragon head in a pretentious manner.
Their gazes were drawn to Gengar and Ralts, who were diligently practicing their moves in the center of the training field.
Blacksmith need its own hardware.
Although Bai Zhou is absolutely confident that he will not put Gengar and Ralts in real danger, improving their own strength is still of paramount importance, and daily training is essential.
The atmosphere on the training field was quite different.
Gengar was incredibly energetic and full of vitality!
Two chubby little hands swung wildly at the specially made, durable punching bag in front of them, as if they were having a seizure!
His left fist was wreathed in exploding flames, while his right fist unleashed dazzling lightning.
The next second it switched to ice crystals radiating a chilling aura, interspersed with unpredictable shadow energy strikes of fire fist, lightning fist, freezing fist, and shadow fist.
He can use physical moves of various attributes with ease and fluidity, showing no signs of the tedium or fatigue of long training sessions.
It even muttered some strange slogans in sync with the rhythm of its punches.
"Eye-ga eye-ga eye-ga eye-ga—(Ora Ora Ora Ora One—)"
Bai Zhou's eyes twitched at the sight.
In contrast, Ralts, who was participating in a formal battle training for the first time, seemed somewhat lost and disoriented.
Unlike Gengar, who would pester White Boat for extra training whenever he had free time.
Having never experienced battle before, Ralts is filled with pure curiosity about the very act of "battle".
Its large, azure eyes reflected the Gengar swinging its fists like a madman in the arena, its small eyes filled with admiration.
Bai Zhou: Hey, don't copy that! The art style just won't be right!
Bai Zhou didn't personally supervise every training session.
Most of the time, with Liekong, the "golden coach," in charge, he felt quite at ease.
The significance of one taking on seven opponents is self-evident.
Gengar's rapid improvement in mastering various moves is largely due to Rayquaza's seemingly rough but actually precise "guidance".
"You need to use your moves more flexibly! Your energy concentration needs to be more refined! Your weak movements are like tickling me!"
Rayquaza stared at Gengar's punch, which, though imposing, still showed roughness in the details, and his face darkened.
It instantly transformed into a streak of dark green light, flashing in front of Gengar. Without a word, its dragon tail lashed out with a whooshing sound!
Snapped!
A crisp sound!
Gengar was flattened on the hard ground of the training field, turning into a pitiful "Gengar-chan".
"Eyes! Feed them! (The General is right! It was I who was negligent!)"
Gengar instantly reverted from its two-dimensional state to its round, three-dimensional form. Far from being saddened, its high training enthusiasm only increased!
The ghostly energy and various elemental energies within its body surged forth even more violently, and the speed and power of its punches actually increased once again!
Bai Zhou: "...—"
He really wanted to ask Gengar a question through its ears.
What's wrong with you, a Pokémon focused on special attacks, spending all your time training these physical punches?!
But oh well, as long as the child likes it, it's always good to have more skills.
Just then, Zygarde, in its core cell form, silently crawled to Bai Zhou's feet and gently rubbed against his trouser leg.
Bai Zhou looked down at it, and then, seeing its gaze, which, though it only had one eye, clearly conveyed a desire for attention, he bent down, picked it up, and placed it in the crook of his arm.
"What's wrong? Has the ecological monitoring network detected something unusual?"
Bai Zhou asked gently.
"Guardians."
A telepathic message came from Zigeld, carrying a hint of earnestness as he reported his work.
Following your wishes, after taking over and integrating the entire ecological monitoring cell network of the Donghuang region, I discovered a region with a very special energy response.
Its single eye blinked, as if it were refining its linguistic logic, concisely expressing the problem it had discovered.
Located in the heart of the Kunlun Mountains, the concentration of rock energy there is extremely abnormal, far exceeding what normal geological activity could produce, and this energy level is continuously and steadily increasing.
Most strangely, according to data from cellular network retrospection, this energy surge curve has recently exhibited some unnatural, artificially induced, and regular fluctuations—
Kunlun Mountains?
Is the rock-like energy unusually concentrated?
Bai Zhou frowned slightly, his mind quickly racing.
He had been to the Kunlun Mountains once, the last time he went there with Ralts to rescue the petrified Pokémon.
Upon reflection, he did indeed vaguely sense that a vast and pure energy was hidden deep within that mountain range.
But at the time he thought it was a natural phenomenon caused by some kind of auspicious feng shui site or special mineral veins, and did not investigate it further.
Now, considering the monitoring data from Kigeld, something really seems wrong there.
"Ralts, come here for a second."
Bai Zhou temporarily suppressed his guesses and decided to ask Ralts first.
After all, that's where it grew up, so it might know some special information.
"Owner?"
Upon hearing the call, Ralts immediately dispersed the small energy ball it was carefully condensing with its psychic powers and happily ran over with its short legs.
It tilted its little head up and looked at the white boat.
"Is there something you need?"
"fine."
Bai Zhou greeted them with a smile, picked up Ralts as well, and put it in the crook of his other arm, placing it on either side of Zygarde.
"I just want to know about the place you used to live, like—was there anything special about it?"
Where did I used to live?
Ralts leaned against Shiroshu's chest, trying hard to recall every detail of the past.
It's a very beautiful and quiet place. Also, everyone in the mountains was very kind to me, and I liked them very much.
Its telepathic connection carries a warm sense of nostalgia.
Bai Zhou smiled and rubbed its head, knowing that directly asking a child about such an abstract concept as "rock energy" might be too difficult.
He carefully considered his wording and then guided the discussion in a more specific and easier-to-understand way:
"Naralts still remembers the Rock-type Pokémon neighbors in the mountains when she lived there—"
"For example, do Geodude, Onix, or Tyranitar exhibit any particularly unusual behaviors or prefer to stay in certain places?"
