An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 105 Six Styles: Storm Kick (Please Subscribe)

Watching the handsome man's departing figure, Mo Zhen's face revealed a knowing smile.

Investigating contraband is something that should be handled by professionals. How could a top-tier artist like him, who is always busy, possibly go and investigate cases himself?

It would be a complete waste to leave Lao Deng, who has such rich experience in handling cases, unused.

As for how Mo Zhen knew so much about the handsome guy's whereabouts...

This is all because of a guy named "I'm Not a Dodo Bird" who updates his daily case-handling routine on "Jingbo" every day.

Today, we dispatched one of our most senior operators to the Unova region to investigate a case of Pokémon exploitation on a farm. This kind of mission, requiring extensive experience and keen insight, is naturally best handled by the most professional! #InterpolDailyLife #UnovaRegion #SuanmuFarmIncident

[On the third day of our split operation, I went undercover at a high-end club in the Unova region to investigate the inner workings of Unova's tertiary industry. Today, I battled four Spirit Trainers simultaneously—it was truly an epic battle! Meanwhile, our handsome detective is conducting in-depth investigations in the lower district of Lishui City. This is the perfect teamwork of our Interpol team! #WorkAssignment #LeadershipArts]

[Information received: the handsome police officer is investigating a new type of contraband called "Dream Cigarettes." I must say, this veteran officer's investigative skills are truly top-notch! I was right to specifically request him for this mission. Anyway, I have another "big" situation here, need to start a game right away! #LeadershipArts #UnitedAnti-SmokingCampaign]

Besides going crazy in the Doupo Elf CP circle every day, that Dodo bird likes to post blogs showing off his subordinates' daily work reports.

This is equivalent to the handsome guy reporting his work results directly to Mo Zhen every day. How could he not know the other party's whereabouts!
Mo Zhen already felt that the Dodo bird was unreliable, but he never expected it to be this outrageous.

Although the leader, the Dodo bird, is somewhat anthropomorphic, Mo Zhen has even more confidence in the "handsome guy's" case-solving abilities.

It is well known that in an organization that can operate stably in the long term, the incompetence of its leaders and the competence of its subordinates are often directly proportional.

Under the intense, weight-bearing training led by Tang, the abilities of these grassroots police officers should have been honed.

Outside the illegal internet cafe, Xiao Huolong and Luca were each practicing their divine skills.

Without the training environment of a love hotel, Xiao Huolong's Extreme Eighth Collapse once again hit a bottleneck.

It has been unable to re-enter that state of enlightenment, and its progress in the Eight Collapses has been stuck at the Two Collapses stage, unable to move forward or backward.

On the other side, after experiencing a series of trials in Bollywood, Xiao Huolong's spirit level broke through again, successfully advancing from level 21 to level 22.

This can of yellow peaches is already larger than a typical charismatic can.

However, its fighting spirit level remains at the level of a nine-star Dou Zhe at the Great Perfection stage.

Now it needs a powerful stroke of luck to break through the current bottleneck.

Meanwhile, Luca's level also saw a long-awaited boost after spending all day in intense battles with Admiral Red Dragon.

It suddenly jumped from level 32 to level 34.

Luca worked as a security guard at Suanmu Farm for ten years, during which time he basically spent his days slacking off and enjoying a leisurely life.

Now, it is striving every day on the path to becoming the King of the Navy, and it has great potential to be developed.

After completing the development of the [Lightning Five-Hit Elbow], Luca also felt that his training of [Shave] had approached perfection.

It has now mastered the [Shave] technique to the [Proficient] level. The next step is to hone its skills and continue to comprehend the mysteries of space, gradually raising its proficiency in [Shave] to the [Master] level, and finally achieving true eight-directional displacement.

However, this is something that can't be rushed; it's not something that can be solved with a sudden epiphany.

The basic principles of the "shaving" technique have been mastered, but if the physical foundation is not up to par, it is impossible to achieve the level of eight-directional displacement.

After realizing this, it took a slow breath and, after a long time, pulled out the "Naval Six Styles" manual from its mind once again.

After a period of investigation, its gaze sharpened and locked onto the training method of "Storm Kick," which, like "Shave," is a leg technique.

【Storm Kick】, the most ferocious leg technique among the six styles, uses extremely fast kicks to tear through the air, creating a vacuum slash powerful enough to cut through steel, capable of reaping the enemy's life from a distance.

The manual clearly records the three stages of training for the [Storm Kick]:

Phase 1: [Sensing Air Fluctuations] - Practitioners need to sense the air fluctuations when kicking with their legs and grasp the laws governing the transmission of these fluctuations.

The demonstration in the manual was breathtaking: a tall and sturdy naval elite stood on the edge of a cliff where the wind howled, his eyes closed, quietly sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding air, his right leg poised to pounce like a beast.

The second stage: [Wave Tremor] - By controlling the tremor frequency of the leg muscles, the air resonates, forming a controllable wave.

In the demonstration, the navy man's leg muscles looked like they were made of steel, with bulging veins, and then they vibrated at a frequency that exceeded human limits.

The air around his legs instantly twisted and deformed, forming ripples that looked almost tangible.

The third stage: [Ultimate Burst] - Perfectly integrates the energy within the body with the fluctuations in the air, bursting forth in an instant to form a devastating slash.

The final demonstration footage got Lucario's blood pumping.

The navy officer's eyes snapped open, his leg muscles swelled to their limit in an instant, and the blood vessels under his skin resembled a volcano about to erupt.

Then, with overwhelming force, he unleashed a dazzling crescent-shaped slash, cleanly cleaving a small mountain peak in the distance. So that's it! The essence of the Tempest Kick is the power to conquer fluctuations!

Luca's heart pounded; these demonstrations fueled an almost instinctive craving for the Storm Kick.

It abruptly closed the manual and shot off like an arrow toward the open space behind the internet cafe, eagerly beginning its training of the [Storm Kick].

First, there is the first stage of [experiencing fluctuations].

Lucario closed his eyes, replaying the marine's posture in his mind, then suddenly raised his right leg and kicked out at different speeds and angles.

It focused intently on sensing the fluctuations in the air around its legs, but the expected sensation was as elusive as a phantom, lacking any of the awe-inspiring ripples described in the manual.

With no progress in sight, Luca stopped practicing in silence and began to think about how to achieve the so-called "feeling of vibrations" mentioned in the manual.

Perhaps I can use the power of waveguides to assist in perception?

A glint of wisdom flashed in Luca's eyes.

Aura power—this is Lucario's exclusive and noble power.

Because of the movie "Meteor and the Aura Warriors", this setting is extremely well-known in the Pokémon world.

Furthermore, in subsequent versions, the waveguide capability was gradually improved, gaining many wonderful uses that integrate [perception], [attack], and [defense].

It's fair to say that Lucario is the biggest beneficiary of the Pokémon movies.

Because of a theatrical film, it has not only maintained high popularity for many years, but its quality has also received official endorsement.

In contrast, the performances of some legendary Pokémon in the movies are truly... indescribable.

Therefore, for Riolu, which possesses the [Waveguide] talent, sensing wave fluctuations should not be difficult.

It mobilized the waveguide energy within its body, which spread like blue ripples across its right leg, and then kicked out again with a sudden burst of power.

This time, Luca did indeed feel the fluctuations in the air.

Unlike ordinary kicks, when the waveguide force covers his legs, Luca can clearly sense the flow, collision, and vibration of air molecules.

The feeling is like waving your arm in water, being able to feel the resistance and flow of the water, only the density of air is much lower, and the perception is more subtle.

Luca's eyes gleamed slightly as it kicked out again, this time focusing more intently on the interaction between the waveguide and the air.

As the kicking speed increases, it feels the air being compressed and torn apart, then forming a faint ripple of airflow after passing through the leg.

Although it is far less powerful than the one shown by the Marine in the manual, it is indeed the prototype of the [Storm Kick]!

The essence of the Tempest Kick is to compress air through extremely fast kicks, creating a vacuum slash.

The power of waveguides can help Luca control this compression and release more precisely.

With his own wisdom, Luca gradually grasped the essence of this move and became excited.

That's awesome! I knew it was right! Hahaha, this move was practically tailor-made for me!
It's natural for Luca to think that way, since every move of the Navy's Six Powers was specially designed for Riolu based on its racial talents, with the aim of stimulating its potential.

In the first stage, "Sensing Waves," it progresses rapidly with the aid of waveguide power.

After just a few hours of practice, it was able to clearly sense the air fluctuations when a leg kicks, with the help of waveguides.

Having successfully completed the first stage of training, Luca was brimming with confidence and eager to try again.

Compared to his own training in "Shaving," the progress of "Storm Kick" was like a fish swimming in water, progressing like a god.

Okay, we've mastered the first stage. Next up is the second stage—[Wave Tremors].

Luca took a deep breath, recalling the description in the manual: by controlling the vibration frequency of the leg muscles, the air resonates, creating a controllable wave.

Following the instructions in the manual, it tried to make its leg muscles vibrate at an extremely fast frequency, but the results were not satisfactory.

Either the vibration frequency is insufficient to cause resonance in the air, or the vibration is too chaotic to form an effective wave pattern.

Even after Luca developed leg cramps during practice, he still hadn't grasped the "wave vibration".

This...this is too profound. Is it really something I can achieve to control the fluctuations within that skill?

Luca rubbed his cramped thigh and began to doubt himself.

As waves of fatigue from overtraining washed over him, Luca drifted off to sleep...
