Pokémon: Master System.

…………

Xia Yu looked at Gastly, his mind also on how to train Gastly.

Because of its long-term absorption of the Ghost-type core energy from the Punishment Pot, Gastly has an extremely high concentration of Ghost-type energy, but its Poison-type energy is quite weak. This means that Gastly must replenish its Poison-type energy.

Xia Yu has been buying poison-type items for Gastly, but the highest-level item he has bought is only a C-rank item, which is obviously not very effective.

Therefore, Xia Yu has recently started acquiring poison-type items of grade B and above, but these items only appear in auctions, which Xia Yu finds quite regrettable.

After assigning training tasks to Gastly, Xia Yu had Ainz supervise Gastly's training while he turned his attention to Scorbunny.

Razor is the evolved form of Scorbunny, and its final evolved form is Cinderace.

"Young Teng Cu, come here."

The young Tengcu, who was traversing through the mountains and forests, quickly ran to Xia Yu's side.

"Your training will remain the same as before, mainly focusing on leg strength and footwork, as well as kicking techniques and footwork," Xia Yu said to the young Teng Cu.

The Tengchu Junior family are standard high-speed physical attackers, primarily using kicks as their offensive method, supplemented by headbutts. Therefore, training the Tengchu Juniors is relatively simple, focusing on developing their jumping ability, kicking power, and explosiveness.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, the young Teng Cu nodded and then began to leap and dart through the forest, his legs strapped with weights, as he trained.

After arranging all the Pokémon's training tasks, Xia Yu then took out the Poké Balls for Aerodactyl, Gallade, and Iron Warrior.

Faced with the unruly fossil pterosaur, Xia Yu decided to call upon Iron Warrior to teach it a lesson.

"Come out, fossil pterosaur."

"Come out, Iron Warrior, Gallade."

Chapter 211 Dragon Tamer Iron Warrior

"Roar!"

The fossil aeroda roared loudly as soon as it appeared. As the king of wild Pokémon, it became quite unruly after being captured by Xia Yu and refused to obey commands.

This phenomenon is actually very common, because wild Pokémon are untamed and have their own pride. In particular, the stronger the wild Pokémon, the less obedient it is, especially for a king among Pokémon like Aerodactyl.

The chances of getting Aerodactyl to obey are almost zero. In addition, Aerodactyl was defeated by Gallade's Destiny Bond move, which made it even more resentful. It looked at Xia Yu with a fierce look in its eyes, seemingly unwilling to give in.

Great, I like your rebellious attitude right now.

"Iron Warrior, beat it up," Xia Yu said to his older brother, Iron Warrior.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's command, the Iron Warrior turned to look at Xia Yu. As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to be grateful for his food." Having been fed and pampered by Xia Yu every day, it had been corrupted by Xia Yu's sweet talk. From its initial discomfort, it had gradually become accustomed to it, and it was truly embarrassed to stand idly by.

Now that Xia Yu has asked it to be a fighter, it's really too embarrassed to refuse. However, it prefers fighting against strong opponents to bullying weaker opponents.

"Roar!"

The fossil pterosaur roared at the Iron Warrior. It could sense the astonishing aura and formidable strength emanating from the creature before it, but its ferocious and savage nature meant it showed no fear and took the initiative to provoke it.

Looking at the noisy fossil pterosaur, the Iron Warrior's eyes were like knives. He then gripped the double-edged blade in his hand, gently rotated it once, and assumed a posture ready to attack.

Locked onto by the Iron Warrior's gaze, the fossil ape-dragon suddenly felt an immense sense of oppression and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

However, its pride wouldn't allow it to admit defeat. The fossil ape still opened its mouth and roared at the iron warrior, and took the initiative to attack!

Xia Yu shook his head slightly as he watched this scene. The fossil pterosaur was really stubborn. As expected of its hard head, it dared to launch an attack.

It seems we need to train its emotional intelligence. It's such a stubborn brat. We need to let it learn from Charizard and have Charizard give it one-on-one lessons.

Although Xia Yu always complained about Charizard's sixth-person personality, to be honest, what Xia Yu liked most about Charizard was its high emotional intelligence.

Putting everything else aside, Charizard is now the most popular Pokémon in Xia Yu's team, and even Noboo, which it didn't get along with at first, has a very good relationship with it.

From the two older brothers, Ironhide and Gallade, to the two younger brothers, Gastly and Scorbunny, they are all very close to Charizard.

This made Xia Yu sigh, this dog was not like a fire-breathing dragon at all, but more like an all-around dragon, whose main focus was on human relationships and worldly affairs.

Just as Xia Yu was pondering, he saw the Aerodactyl circle in the air, then fold its wings, its body enveloped in Flying-type energy, shining brightly, and immediately unleashing its most powerful Divine Bird Strike.

Very clever, but it's all for naught.

The Iron Warrior stood still, motionless, quietly waiting for the fossil pterosaur to fly over.

Just as the two were about to collide, the Iron Warrior suddenly moved. It dodged the Aerodactyl's attack by sidestepping it, and then swung its double-edged blade, slamming the Aerodactyl's body with the blade and knocking it to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Warrior grasped the middle hilt of the double-headed blade with both hands, then slightly twisted it, splitting the double-headed blade in two, turning it into two short blades, one in each hand.

Holding blades in both hands, the Iron Warrior thrust it fiercely at the fossil pterosaur on the ground, terrifying the creature to the point of panic. A sense of dread washed over it, and it felt the fear of death at that moment.

"Pfft!"

Two short blades were inserted into the snow, pressed directly against the fossil aerodynamic dinosaur's neck. The blades were so close to the aerodynamic dinosaur's neck that it could clearly feel the cold touch.

This time, seeing the Iron Warrior, the fossil aeroda dared not roar loudly or provoke it again. From the previous exchange, it could clearly sense the Iron Warrior's power.

If the Iron Warrior hadn't shown mercy, it would have been dead just now.

Xia Yu was very satisfied with the fossil pterosaur that had given up; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

This is what they call "there's always someone better than you." Even I, Xia Yu, haven't dared to be this arrogant. How dare you, a mere fossil pterosaur, be so cocky? One should be humble and modest.

We've already taught the pterosaurs a lesson in force; now it's time for moral education.

"Charizard Dragon, when you finish training later, talk to Aerodactyl about it."

"Roar!" Charizard roared urgently, giving a thumbs-up, indicating that it would be no problem to leave it to him.

…………

After a full day of training, Xia Yu was exhausted. With so many Pokémon, he was clearly struggling to keep up. Fortunately, some of the Pokémon were obedient, which eased Xia Yu's burden.

The biggest gain from today's training was that the fossil pterosaur became very obedient, which made Xia Yu very happy. Indeed, the old saying "spare the rod and spoil the child" is true.

What to do when your child is disobedient? Just give them a beating.

Back at the patrol team, Xia Yu saw two familiar faces.

Charlotte and Xie Tianming.

"Xie Tianming, brother." Xia Yu deliberately called Xie Tianming first to make Xie Tianming feel that he valued him.

"Xia Yu." Xie Tianming also looked at Xia Yu, slightly reserved. Now that he had signed a contract with the Xia family, his relationship with Xia Yu had become that of boss and employee, making him feel a little awkward.

"You're here." Xia Yu looked at Xie Tianming with a smile, walked to his side, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so reserved. I still hope to see the confident you on the battlefield that day."

Xia Yu paused slightly at this point, then continued, "Training spots for the patrol team are very valuable. I specifically told my brother to recommend you. You can seize this opportunity to train here for half a year. I'll come pick you up after the High School Cup. In a few days, I'll take you to catch a Pokémon. Don't worry about the money, I'll pay for it."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xie Tianming was slightly moved. He had always been an ordinary trainer who was not valued by others. Now, Xia Yu's treatment of him made him feel flattered and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, Charlotte spoke up at this moment to save him from embarrassment: "Tianming, you train hard here. If you have any difficulties, just contact me or Xia Yu."

"Xia Yu, I received the letter you asked someone to deliver. Let me see which Pokémon you persuaded?"

"Let's see tomorrow."

Xia Yu actually wanted to give the fossil pterosaur he had captured to his older brother, Xia Luo.

On the one hand, he already has two powerful Pokémon, Ironhide and Gallade, so adding another Aerodactyl wouldn't make much difference; it would just be icing on the cake.

However, if Charlotte were to obtain this Aerodactyl, the situation would be completely different. It would be equivalent to the Xia family gaining an Elite Four-level trainer, which would undoubtedly be a timely help and also a guarantee of the Xia family's safety.

On the other hand, Xia Yu can also free up a spot in the Wild Area to catch another Pokémon, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, before that, Xia Yu needs to properly train the fossil pterosaur to make it obedient.

Chapter 212 Tianlin Mountain

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Xia Yu lived a monotonous life of patrolling and training. Three major events happened to him during this period.

Firstly, Gastly's strength has reached the elite level and it is about to evolve into Haunter, but Xia Yu does not plan to let Gastly evolve for the time being. This is because Gastly is currently severely unbalanced in its specialization; the Ghost-type energy and Poison-type energy within its body are not in harmony, so its evolution would not be perfect at this time. He plans to find at least a B-grade Poison-type item to replenish its Poison-type energy before letting Gastly evolve, and it would be best if he could find an A-grade or higher Poison-type item.

Secondly, they subjected the "Fossil Aerodactyl" to two weeks of intensive training. Under the combined training of the Iron Warrior and the Charizard, the previously unruly Aerodactyl became extremely obedient, readily following Xia Yu and Xia Luo's commands. This dramatic change astonished Xia Yu. He estimated that after another week of training, the Aerodactyl would be completely under his control, at which point he could hand it over to his older brother.

In addition, Xie Tianming and his older brother Xia Luo also joined the patrol team. Xia Luo underwent a month of intensive training before leaving with Xia Yu and the other three.

Xie Tianming underwent intensive training for six months, or even longer, which was also intended to cultivate his talent.

…………

At noon, the weather was clear.

Tianlin Mountain Range.

The patrol team consisting of Xia Yu, Xie Tianming, and Zhao Ruohan is on patrol in the Tianlin Mountains.

"Land and rest for a bit." After flying for three hours straight, the three of them looked tired and were starting to feel the strain. Seeing this, Xia Yu signaled for them to land and rest: "Charizard, land."

As soon as Xia Yu gave the order, Charizard immediately turned and descended towards the forest. Xie Tianming and Zhao Ruohan, who were behind it, also ordered Finch to follow and descend towards the ground.

After landing, the three found a place to sit down and eat something to replenish their energy.

Because it's a sunny day, the temperature isn't low; it's even a bit warm.

The group sat down on the ground, but Xia Yu's gaze was fixed on the towering Tianlin Mountain, his mind filled with the legend of the ancient sword leopard in Tianlin Mountain.

Every time he went on patrol, Xia Yu would feel a surge of impulse, a strong urge to explore Tianlin Mountain, but when he looked at the snow-covered mountain, he would eventually back down.

Xia Yu lowered his head, eating his food as he spoke, "Let's rest for ten minutes, take advantage of the good weather, finish our patrol quickly, and head back as soon as possible."
