Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

"Can't you tell? This is a competition," Yu Zhonggang said with a smile.

"Competition?" Lu Li asked, his face full of doubt.

Yu Zhonggang didn't directly answer Lu Li's question, but said with a smile, "Follow me first."

Under Yu Zhonggang's lead, Lu Li arrived at a huge quarry, or more accurately, an abandoned quarry.

At this moment, many Onix stood tall in the quarry, and there were also many people on the edge of the quarry.

Yu Zhonggang asked, "Do you know what the two most famous Pokémon in the Qingyun Secret Realm are?"

Lu Li shook his head honestly.

Yu Zhonggang explained to himself: "They are Pidgeot and Onix. Both of these groups have more than two Gym Leader-level combatants."

"These people are here to ask for eggs," Yu Zhonggang said, pointing to the group of old and young men on the edge.

"As we all know, Pokémon in the Secret Realm have a growth limit. Some powerful Onix also yearn to go out and venture, and some Onix hope that their children can leave the Secret Realm and see a wider world.

So, there is this competition field to prove their abilities. If you want to take Onix away from here, then you have to prove your strength on the battle field. Only strong enough strength can attract Onix to follow you.

If you want Pokémon eggs, then you have to compete with other people. The parents of Onix will give them to the person with stronger strength."

Lu Li nodded in understanding.

"Where's Jin Huang? Why didn't I see that kid?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Yu Zhonggang said with a smile, "He got the Pokémon egg yesterday and should be hatching that egg in the Gym now."

Just as the two were talking, an old man and a young man approached.

"Little Yu, is this the commoner you found for Lili?"

The old man had a kind smile on his face, but Lu Li always felt that the way he looked at him was a little cold.

"Yes, Second Uncle, why do you have time to come here today?" Yu Zhonggang asked with a smile.

The old man explained with a smile: "Didn't I hear that your apprentice defeated that kid Jin Ji? So today I brought my grandson over to take a look."

"This is Gym Leader Yu, hurry up and call him Uncle." The old man pushed the young man next to him.

The young man quickly shouted, "Hello, Uncle Yu."

"Good boy, what's your name?" Yu Zhonggang asked with a smile.

"Jin Longyu, Uncle Yu can just call me Xiaoyu." Jin Longyu replied nervously.

At this time, the old man looked at Lu Li with a smile and asked, "Young man, don't you want to get to know this old man?"

"Hello, Grandpa, my name is Lu Li." Lu Li nodded with a smile and then introduced himself.

The old man suddenly asked, "I heard that you refused the Jin family's funding before?"

"Yes, I'm really used to being free and easy, so I refused the Jin family's kindness." Lu Li admitted with a smile.

Lu Li also knew that this old guy was deliberately looking for trouble, seemingly amiable but actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The old man answered irrelevantly, "I heard that you are also a Trainer?"

Lu Li nodded.

"My grandson is exactly the same age as you. Why don't you two go up and spar? If you're lucky, you might be favored by Onix," the old man asked.

Jin Longyu pretended to be embarrassed and reminded, "Isn't that right? Grandpa, you should know that my partner has just broken through recently and it's difficult to hold back in battle."

"It's inevitable to get injured in battle. Anyway, there is professional medical care here, what are you afraid of?" The old man gave his grandson a speechless look, but his eyes were always on Lu Li.

Yu Zhonggang said in a tone as if he was doing it for Jin Longyu's good: "Isn't that right? Xiao Li's strength is too high for rookie Trainers."

Hearing this, Jin Longyu's eyes lit up, and then he said excitedly: "That means this commoner is very strong? Then I don't have to worry about my Pokémon not being able to hold back. How about we go up and compete?"

Lu Li didn't directly accept the challenge, but turned his attention to Yu Zhonggang.

Yu Zhonggang reminded in a low voice: "Go up and play. If you don't show your strength, they might continue to pester you."

Lu Li didn't want to get involved in the power struggles of wealthy families, but since Yu Zhonggang had spoken, he could only helplessly choose to accept.

Yu Zhonggang comforted, "Go up and win the competition first. I'll tell you the details later."

Lu Li nodded.

Jin Longyu, full of malice, entered the competition field first.

"Come out! My invincible Lairon." Jin Longyu shouted excitedly.

Looking at the Lairon on the field, Lu Li frowned.

Ace Trainer-level Lairon, this is a very unscientific level.

The reason why Tropius was able to break through to Ace Trainer-level in two months was because both he and Tropius cheated, and they cheated more than once.

But why are Jin Longyu and Lairon able to?

Lu Li, who secretly activated Spirit Vision, quickly found the truth.

"So it's pre-cultivation? No wonder the bond between the Pokémon and the Trainer is so blurred." Lu Li sneered in his heart.

This is another young master from a prominent family who doesn't believe in evil. Some adults naively believe that as long as they are well-educated, they can break the curse that Pokémon cannot be pre-cultivated.

Then the result is this situation with Lairon and Jin Longyu. The bond between them is deep, but it is blurred.

In layman's terms, Jin Longyu's Trainer level can't keep up with Lairon's training level, and the bond between them is blurred. Now the best result may be that Lairon doesn't listen to commands.

But worse results are not impossible. If you treat Pokémon like toys, Pokémon can also treat you like trash.

"My Lairon's personality is too arrogant. If you find that your Pokémon can't hold on, then you must surrender in advance. I'm afraid Lairon won't be able to hold back at that time," Jin Longyu said triumphantly. Although it sounded like a kind reminder, Lu Li felt it was a threat.

Lu Li played with Tropius's Poké Ball, and then asked jokingly, "Are you sure it's because of Lairon's arrogant personality?"

"Are you suspecting the bond between me and Lairon?" Jin Longyu questioned angrily.

Lu Li smiled without saying a word, and then put away Tropius's Poké Ball.

"I always prefer to convince people with facts, even opponents." After Lu Li finished speaking, he released Milotic.

The stunning Milotic attracted the attention of everyone around as soon as it appeared on the battle field.

"It's actually Milotic? It looks so beautiful. This should be the first Milotic in our Qingyun City, right?"

"It should be. I haven't heard of anyone in the local area having Milotic before."

"It's so beautiful. No wonder it can be called the most beautiful Pokémon in the world."

"Elite-level? Oh my god! This is an Elite-level Milotic!" A sharp-eyed Jin family Trainer suddenly shouted.

"Wait! This Elite-level Milotic seems to be that young man's Pokémon?"

"No, something is very wrong! How can such a powerful Pokémon have such a bond with that rookie Trainer?"

"Are you farting? This is a rookie Trainer? He is now an Elite-level Trainer. With this unbreakable bond, even Arceus would say he is an Elite-level Trainer!"

"That seems to be Xiaoyu, right? How did he end up against Milotic's Trainer?"

"Could this Milotic be pre-cultivated?"

There were exclamations and doubts in the surrounding discussions, but more were disbelief.

Lu Li directly ignored the surrounding discussions.

He didn't have the idea of playing the pig to eat the tiger. Although he didn't know why that old man from the Jin family suddenly came to find trouble with him, Lu Li didn't intend to indulge the old man.

Since you want to come over and find a sense of existence, then I will slap your faces swollen!

A 16-year-old Elite-level Trainer, I ask you, are you afraid!

With Yu Zhonggang as his backer, Lu Li was not afraid of offending people, and even if Yu Zhonggang was unreliable, with his current strength, he didn't need to worry about a family whose highest strength was only Gym Leader-level.

"Lala~"

(Goddess!!!)

As soon as Milotic appeared, Lairon became a simp.

Lairon, who instantly became a simp, directly ignored Jin Longyu, who was jumping with anger behind him.

"Lairon! Charge up and use Headbutt!"

Looking at Lairon who hadn't moved for a long time, Jin Longyu shouted in exasperation from behind: "What are you giggling at? Go up and use a move!"

Lairon glanced at the Trainer behind him with some disgust. It doesn't matter if you ugly guy wants to be single, but I, Lairon, want to embrace the goddess.

"Lala~"

(Goddess, can I lick you?)

Lairon asked ingratiatingly.

Not only Jin Longyu, but Lu Li's face also darkened.

At this moment, Lu Li regretted a little that he had activated Spirit Speech.

"Milotic, deal with this guy. Be gentle," Lu Li commanded helplessly.

"Lala~"

(Come on, my goddess! I am willing to lose everything for you.)

Lu Li: "..."

What kind of titanium alloy simp is this!

As expected of a Steel-type iron simp.

Lu Li watched speechlessly as Lairon was fanned out of the battle field by Milotic's Dragon Tail.

Looking at Lairon's embarrassing performance, Jin Longyu's face turned black and white.

Half was unwillingness, and more was depression.

It's okay to lose from Ace Trainer to Elite, but the problem is that you can't lose so embarrassingly.

It's just a slightly prettier Milotic!

Lairon!

Simping for everything will only hurt you!

Jin Longyu, who was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to find a crack to crawl into, gritted his teeth and said: "You are a genius like me, not afraid of worldly rules and eyes. I admit you won."

Lu Li: "???"

Lu Li felt that this guy was trying to take advantage of him. What do you mean you are a genius like me, not afraid of worldly rules and eyes? We are not the same, okay?

I pre-cultivate Pokémon because I believe that Pokémon will become my partners and family members, but what do you rely on?

Don't naively think that this kind of worldview is easy to shape. To give the simplest example, a white family, a family of three, one day the father suddenly brings back a little black man, and then the father tells his own child that this black child will be your younger brother in the future.

What would a normal child think? White and black are still humans, but humans and Pokémon are two completely different species.

Seeing this scene, Yu Zhonggang asked the old man next to him curiously: "When did Xiaoyu start cultivating Pokémon?"

"13 years old." The old man gritted his teeth and said.

"13 years old is not good!" Yu Zhonggang sighed, feeling more gratitude in his heart.

When Yu Lili was 13 years old, he also had such an idea, but later his wife stopped him, reasoning that his precious daughter did not lack those three years.
