Chapter 389 The Power of Bonds
Li Shuwen returned to the Yamanashi Research Institute alone, carrying the Electric Monster and its evolution data.
Cynthia originally wanted to take a romantic ride on the Milerton with Li Shuwen.
As soon as they returned to the edge of Tianguan Mountain, their cell phones regained communication.
Cynthia called, saying she needed to be in charge of following up on the Elite Four champion's work.
Since it wasn't a dangerous job, Li Shuwen didn't go with Shirona.
Upon arriving at the research institute, Dr. Yamanashi excitedly welcomed Li Shuwen... into the small black box he was holding.
Of course, he didn't forget to have Li Shuwen hand over the Electivire's Poké Ball as well.
By analyzing the data together with Electabuzz, Dr. Yamanashi determined that there was a higher probability that the Electabuzz evolution item was suitable.
Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Professor, why are there only a dozen or so Infernape trainers training outside?"
Dr. Yamanashi was so engrossed in analyzing the data that he didn't hear a thing.
Yuzo said, "All we can do right now is help them master the Rage Punch. The evolution of Infernape requires enough stimulation and experience."
"So we gave each of them a small data logger so they could record every battle of Primeape and then transmit the data back to the research lab at the Pokémon Center."
"Based on the data transmitted back, we help them adjust their training plans, collect evolutionary data on different Primal monkeys, and strive to find the most universal evolutionary method."
Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Has Primeape evolved yet?"
Yuzuru nodded. "Yes, your father's Primeape evolved successfully after twenty battles on the Champion Road."
"However, in each battle, Infernape never used Rage Punch more than seven times, with the most it ever used being five times."
"The current method of evolution that is being promoted is to have these trainers take their Primeape and engage in twenty high-quality battles."
Li Shuwen's Infernape evolution used the Seven Rage Punch evolution method, which is too difficult for most Infernapes.
It depends on talent, skill, and willpower.
Yuzo continued, "By the way, Dr. Kumo left three days ago, leaving behind a method for the abandoned monkeys to learn the Swallow Return technique."
"He said that the method is important, but the method is not important either. This is an inspiration that Dr. Kuki got from Dr. Oki's paper."
"It requires a spiritual bond between the trainer and the Pokémon. As long as you can be of one mind, learning Aerial Ace won't be difficult for you."
Li Shuwen nodded, understanding that Dr. Kongmu's method required the application of both science and metaphysics in learning the Swallow Return technique.
Yongzao took out a folder and handed it to Li Shuwen.
"Take it and look at it."
As expected of Professor Elm, he discussed the possibility of Pokémon learning skills that could only be learned before evolution, from the perspective of Pokémon bloodlines.
However, he also said that from a scientific point of view, this is a waste of time and energy.
However, from the perspective of the bond between trainers and Pokémon, learning Aerial Ace might allow Monkeybane to undergo a transformative metamorphosis.
Only the trainer and the Pokémon themselves know the gains and losses involved; outsiders cannot comment.
Yongzao pointed to the backyard, "The abandoned monkeys are being trained in the backyard according to the method left by Dr. Kongmu. You can go over there now and try out the other half of the method."
Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
In the backyard, the abandoned monkey was diligently practicing the Swallow Return technique.
Some prototypes can be seen, but the body of the abandoned monkey seems to be hindering the release of the swallow.
This may be why Swallow Return can only be learned during the Infernal stage.
But despite these minor difficulties, Li Shuwen believes that he and the abandoned monkey will be able to overcome them easily!
Li Shuwen smiled and waved, "Abandoned Monkey!"
Upon hearing Li Shuwen's call, the Abandoned Monkey excitedly turned around and ran towards Li Shuwen.
She happily jumped into Li Shuwen's arms.
"Jiajia!"
Li Shuwen said with a smile, "During this training, we encountered Zapdos. With Zapdos' friendly help, Electabuzz successfully evolved, and Milton was also inspired by its kind older brother Zapdos."
"You've made tremendous progress. When you see Milnerton, you'll definitely want to spar with him."
Li Shuwen released all the Pokémon, and they all greeted the abandoned monkey warmly, asking how his U-turn technique was going.
The abandoned monkey will give everyone a performance right away.
Everyone applauded the abandoned monkey excitedly, saying that it was impossible to learn it. They never expected that the abandoned monkey would master the Swallow Return technique to such a high level in such a short time.
In another two weeks, the abandoned monkey will surely learn it directly!
Encouraged by everyone, the abandoned monkey felt full of motivation to learn.
Li Shuwen shouted, "Let's practice the Swallow Return technique together while we're still full of energy!"
Kommo-o was first, followed by Gallade, Sirfetch'd, Blaziken, Bewear, and even the newly joined Sakura Guragi used Aerial Ace.
Abandoned Monkey's eyes widened. No, of all the Fighting-type Pokémon, he's the only one who doesn't know how to use Aerial Ace?
And what about the Greatsword Demon? Why is he joining in the fun too?
Li Shuwen said, "Abandoned Monkey, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
The Abandoned Monkey, holding its breath, charged forward again, using Swallow Return to accelerate.
Then suddenly his body froze, and he fell straight down, landing on the grass.
The abandoned monkey slammed his fist on the ground. Why can't he learn the Swallow Return? Damn it!
Li Shuwen quickly walked over and helped the abandoned monkey up.
"Don't worry, evolving into a Forsaken is incredibly difficult, but we made it through, so how could a simple Swallow Return hold us back?"
The abandoned monkey nodded, its fighting spirit rekindled, and began to study.
Then he repeatedly pounced on the grass, compacting it by an inch or two.
Baby Dragon also flapped its little arms, learning alongside the others.
Even though it falls to the ground time and time again, it's still a precious iron dragon head.
He is not afraid of pain.
The other Pokémon were subsequently assigned to other training programs by Li Shuwen.
Only Eevee and Baby Dragon stayed here to train together.
Ibrahimovic is learning how to withstand a crushing blow, while Baby Dragon is learning how to perform a backflip.
Li Shuwen would also speak up from time to time to correct Baby Dragon's mistakes.
Of course, Li Shuwen never imagined that the baby dragon could learn the Swallow Return skill so soon.
Most of his attention was still focused on the abandoned monkeys.
This training session lasted three hours.
Li Shuwen helped the abandoned monkey up. "Let's go eat now, we'll continue tonight."
The abandoned monkey nodded, its mood somewhat subdued even during the meal.
Before training, everyone cheered on the abandoned monkeys one by one.
To reignite the fighting spirit of the abandoned monkeys.
The monkey, exhausted, lay on the ground as the moon rose high in the sky.
Li Shuwen said, "Abandoned Monkey, you're the first Abandoned Monkey in Sinnoh, you have to believe in your strength!"
"Let's try again!"
The abandoned monkey did a somersault, clenched its fist, and looked up at the moon.
Yes, he's a monkey who abandoned the world!
A crimson flame instantly ignited on his body.
Li Shuwen shouted, "Go, you abandoned monkey!"
The abandoned monkey charged forward quickly, then leaped into the air with a powerful push of its legs, completing a mid-air spin with the force of the wind before landing smoothly.
Li Shuwen shouted excitedly, "Abandoned Monkey, you did it!"
The abandoned monkey also let out an excited roar, "Jiajia!"
At this moment, Baby Dragon jumped into the air and successfully completed a perfect turn.
After landing, she jumped and danced excitedly, shouting, "Nymph!"
Baby Dragon has even learned the Swallow Return!
Dear Pokémon Masters, I'm requesting a free gift! A five-star review would be greatly appreciated.
