Chapter 725 The Growth of the Rockets' Trio

During this week, Li Shuwen didn't arrange much training for Musashi and Kojiro's four Pokémon.

These four Pokémon have accumulated a wealth of experience in their long battles with Ash.

Simply provide them with plenty of food to nourish their bodies, and their combat power will increase dramatically.

However, if they want to compete with Ash, they still need to strengthen their training in a targeted manner.

After finishing their day's work, the Rockets trio returned to camp for training, still full of energy.

After a few days of eating and drinking to their hearts' content in Zhenxin Town, the three of them had already revealed their beauty.

Musashi, with a clear look of naivety in his eyes, asked, "Master Shuwen, does Arbok really only need to be trained with Headbutt, Dig, and Crunch?"

"So, someone with a big tongue can become many times stronger just by training their rolling ability?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "That's right, if there are too many skills, you might not be able to manage them all."

Kojiro blinked. "Why do Koffing and Victoire need to learn so many skills?"

Meow Meow crossed her arms and said confidently, "Miyamoto, you've got a lot of knowledge in your head."

"But I can never perform to my full potential in battle."

Li Shuwen nodded in agreement, "That's right, you need to realize through rigorous training that you and your Pokémon are actually very powerful."

"If you can bring two Pokémon and have them master all the skills I teach them, would you still feel inadequate?"

Kojiro took a deep breath. "I understand. I will train hard and try to build my confidence!"

For the four Pokémon of Team Rocket, this week was a transformative seven days.

Sunlight shone on Arbok's scales, refracting a dazzling luster.

Even more astonishing is his physique; his previously somewhat loose muscles have become firm and powerful, and his entire body presents a smooth and powerful curve from his neck to the tip of his tail.

Big Tongue's body had grown a whole size larger. Its once somewhat loose body had become round and taut, with every inch of its muscles full of elasticity.

As she moved, her whole body rolled on the ground like a giant ball of flesh, each step carrying a heavy weight.

The leaves of the giant food flower are a healthy emerald green, so green that they look like they could drip water.

The veins of the leaf are clearly visible, and a faint glow of energy flows within the veins.

The vines were thick and strong, wrapping around the wooden stakes beside them. With the slightest force, deep marks were left on the surface of the stakes.

The giant carnivore opened its mouth, and a faint, sweet, fishy smell wafted out.

A drop of clear liquid dripped from the tip of a tooth and landed on a weed on the ground.

The weeds withered instantly, turned black, and turned into a pool of charred powder.

The two gas tanks hovered in mid-air, their heads slightly lowered, their eyes calm and deep.

The smoke around him was several times thicker than before, no longer a thin layer, but like two thick clouds, swirling and refusing to dissipate.

Not only Pokémon, but also Jessie and James have bright, sparkling eyes thanks to plenty of food.

Significantly increased combat effectiveness!

Li Shuwen stood up. "Today's second lesson is to guide you in catching Pokémon that are suitable for you."

Meowth stroked its chin, "What Pokémon would be suitable for the two of them?"

Li Shuwen continued, "Miyamoto's problem is a lack of self-confidence, which prevents him from fully unleashing the power of Pokémon. His command is too hesitant, always worried about making the wrong decision."

"Sasaki's problem is the exact opposite—he's too confident and prefers a simple, brutal fighting style. Arbok is somewhat better suited to this style. But Lickitung is completely incompatible with your commands."

"Fortunately, this period of special training has improved your compatibility with the big tongue."

Li Shuwen smiled slightly: "Miyamoto needs to be confident and able to guide the trainer's Pokémon. Sasaki needs to be powerful and straightforward. Think about it yourselves, what kind of Pokémon would those be?"

Meowth pondered for a moment, then its eyes suddenly lit up: "Sasaki must be something like Nidoking or Rhyperior, right? The kind that's tough, has lots of health, and just charges in to fight!"

"As for Miyamoto... he needs to use his brain to command creatures like Kurama and Golduck!"

Li Shuwen nodded approvingly: "Miaosi is absolutely right!"

"However, it's not that Miyamoto needs to command, but rather that they have enough wisdom and confidence to lead Miyamoto into battle and build his self-confidence."

Meow shook her head. "Being led by Pokémon really suits Miyamoto's style."

The reason why Big Flower likes to bite Kojiro is partly because Big Flower likes Kojiro, and partly because Kojiro lacks confidence and cannot fully control Big Flower.

While Musashi and Kojiro may not be considered qualified trainers, Li Shuwen still learned from them and improved his own trainer skills.

At the same time, the professional skills of these two rascals helped Li Shuwen to do a good job in the logistical support of the Pokémon camp.

In short, Musashi and Kojiro are easier to use than Akai and Li Fei, whom Li Shuwen has carefully trained.

If possible, Li Shuwen would like to try to recruit them into the Veil Dojo.

Unfortunately, these two people are not the kind of people who can stay in one place for long.

Kojiro was a little embarrassed; he really was that insecure.

Li Shuwen patted him on the shoulder, "It's never too late to start working hard today."

"In the valley west of Pallet Town, there lives a tribe of Armored Rhinoceroses. Sasaki can try to capture one of them, and if he's lucky, he might even capture an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex directly."

Musashi's eyes lit up immediately.

"There's a Golduck living in the river in the valley," Li Shuwen said, looking at Kojiro. "Miyamoto can target it. Golduck is intelligent and strong, but its trainer needs enough confidence to unleash its full potential."

Kojiro nodded thoughtfully.

"There's also a forest in the valley inhabited by Egg and Exeggutor trees; Miyamoto can try to capture them there as well."

"The process of catching Pokémon can also be seen as your practical training, verifying your growth during this period."

The trio exchanged a glance and simultaneously straightened their chests.

"Yes, Master!"

"Then what are we waiting for, Meowth!" Meowth waved its paw. "Let's go! I can't wait to see you catch the new Pokémon!"

"Wait," Musashi grabbed Meow Meow's headgear, "You're going too?"

"Of course, meow! I'm your strategist!" Meow patted her chest confidently. "Without my advice, could the two of you manage, meow?"

"What did you say?!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing..." Kojiro helplessly pulled the two apart, bowed deeply to Li Shuwen, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. We'll set off now."

Li Shuwen watched the three of them noisily walk westward, a smile appearing on his lips.

Shinji emerged from the corner. "Shuwen, why are you giving Team Rocket's trio special training?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "The Rocket Team's fighting strength is too weak, and they can no longer put pressure on Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi."

"Of course we need to help them improve a bit."
