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

Chapter 450 Bad News from the Kanto Region

The next morning, Li Shuwen had just seen off a challenger when he received a call from Shinji.

This was the first time Shinji and Li Meining had called Li Shuwen since they went on their trip for so long.

Li Shuwen's first reaction was that something had happened to Li Meining.

He quickly answered the phone, "Shinji, what happened?"

Shinji's tone was somewhat tense and confused, "Brother Shuwen, my brother has already failed twice in his challenge against the Pyramid Pharaoh of the Frontier."

"I called him today and I could clearly see that his expression was not normal, and his eyes were a little unfocused. This is the first time I have ever seen my brother show such an expression."

"I didn't know how to persuade him, but Xiao Ning reminded me to call and ask for your opinion."

Li Meining also chimed in, "That's right. Lei Si's expression has always been arrogant, and he's been indifferent to Pokémon, but just now I actually saw a hint of tenderness in his eyes."

"This is absolutely abnormal!"

Li Shuwen knew that Lei Si was now being beaten to the point of questioning his life by the Gods, and finally came to a complete understanding of his own heart, choosing to return to the Curtain City to open a breeding house.

At this time, as a good brother, Li Shuwen had to provide Lei Si with emotional support, and even technical support.

At this time, although Shinji had not yet subdued all three legendary pillars, he already possessed a Regirock.

Shinjiro himself is a very powerful trainer.

The prosecutor Joey, who had previously fought against Li Shuwen, was completely different.

Prosecutor Joey's divine beast relies mostly on its own strength and a small part on Joey's training.

The Gods, on the other hand, nurtured their already exceptional divine beasts to become even more outstanding.

Regirock's strength comes at least half from the careful training he received in the Age of Gods.

Defeating such a Regirock would indeed be extremely difficult for Raiji.

The mere discovery that someone possesses a legendary Pokémon like Regirock is enough to intimidate an ordinary trainer.

Of course, for excellent trainers, being able to fight Regirock would only excite them even more.

Lei Si's decision to return to Veil City to open a breeding center was partly due to genuine affection, and partly due to the collapse of his Dao heart.

Li Shuwen did not expect that Lei Si would reach the God Era so quickly.

And he has already tried twice, with only one last chance left.

Li Shuwen comforted him, "Shinji, don't worry, continue your trip with Xiaoning. I'll handle your brother."

"It's complicated here, and neither of you can get involved."

Li Meining asked, "When Lei Si challenges the Pyramid Pharaoh for the last time, can we go watch the battle together?"

Shinji said, "I can't concentrate on my travels if I can't handle my brother's situation."

Li Shuwen replied, "Going to watch the match is no problem, of course. And Shinji too! I know you idolize Raiji, but I want to say something!"

"Every trainer must have their own style. You are too influenced by Raiji. If you want to go far, you must have your own style."

"Lei Si is Lei Si, and you are you."

Li Shuwen needed to give Shinji a heads-up beforehand, lest Shinji advance with shackles on his shoulders.

Li Shuwen cannot say that Shinji's choice in the anime was the wrong path or a detour.

There is no standard for success in life.

After hanging up the phone, Shinji pondered Li Shuwen's words and looked at Li Meining, "Do you think there's anything wrong with my method of raising Pokémon?"

Li Meining thought for a moment, "The general direction should be fine, but you're ignoring the details and not caring about the Pokémon's feelings, which is wrong."

"Pokémon are living beings; you can't treat them as tools."

Shinji's care for Pokémon is more like maintaining tools than caring for his own Pokémon.

Shinji frowned slightly; he had never really believed in bonds.

However, after being taught by Li Shuwen, Li Meining firmly believed in these things.

In battle, he has repeatedly turned defeat into victory by relying on the three divine skills of quick dodge, standing up, and holding on.

Shinji asked Li Meining, who replied that it was because of the bond between her and the Pokémon that the Pokémon were willing to unleash their full power in battle.

But Shinji knew that the power these Pokémon unleashed far exceeded all of their potential.

Shinji's Pokémon can give a Pokémon a power level of 100, but it will only perform at 97 or 98.

However, Li Meining's method allowed Pokémon to have a power level of 100, but their power level fluctuated between 50 and 200.

They might win unexpectedly, or they might lose unexpectedly.

Shinji really disliked this unstable behavior.

After Li Meining resolves her inner conflict, Shinji discovers that her strength is rapidly surpassing his.

Shinji felt that he should perhaps move closer to Li Meining's approach.

When dealing with Pokémon, you should try to show them some genuine care.

Li Shuwen then used a video call to call the Pokémon Center where Lei Si was located.

Miss Joey called Lei Si over to answer the phone, and Li Shuwen discovered that the once spirited young man had indeed become somewhat dejected.

Kamishiro, that ruthless fellow, is indeed capable of forging the sharpest weapons.

But if the conditions are too harsh, the weapons may break.

Because the trainers in the Challenge Battle Frontier are all quite famous.

There's absolutely no need to think as much as a gym leader.

Since the goal is to cultivate high-end combat power for the alliance, it naturally needs to be rigorous enough.

"Raiji, you idiot, you ran into such a troublesome opponent as Kamishiro, why didn't you call me for help?"

Lei Si forced a smile. "I did consider asking you for help, but you've just taken over the Veil Dojo and are very busy right now."

"Besides, Kamishiro is too strong. Even if you come and help me with special training, I'm afraid I still won't be able to beat Kamishiro."

Li Shuwen's eyes were unusually firm. "You didn't even train with me, so how do you know I won't help you defeat the Gods?"

"Don't you know I'm the infamous Midas Touch in the Sinnoh region!?"

"Maybe I'll give you a little pointer, and you'll be completely transformed, defeating Kamishiro in no time!"

Lei Si smiled genuinely, "I wish I were really that good."

Li Shuwen nodded. "That's right. The most important thing in life is to be happy. If you always have a smile on your face, good luck will naturally come."

"Don't rush to challenge the Age of Gods for the third time. Let me make the arrangements here, and I'll send you to the Kanto region for special training."

"What Age of Gods? What Regirock? With us brothers working together, we can cut through steel, let alone stone!"

Lei Si clenched his fist. "No problem. I'll train with the Pokémon first to get back into shape. When you come over, I'll turn everything into gold."

This trip to the Kanto region is not just about dealing with Raiji.

Li Meining has been raising Riolu for so long, Li Shuwen can take this opportunity to let Riolu complete its evolution.
