Pokémon: Master System.

The Sonic Wave skill is similar to the Loud Voice skill; both are sound-based attack skills and are also Normal-type skills.

However, the power of Sonic Wave is about 1.5 times that of Hyper Voice, and it is also much harder to learn; very few Pokémon can learn it.

Currently, only 12 Pokémon can learn this skill. Of these, 4 Pokémon can learn it through inheritance, and 8 Pokémon can learn it by leveling up.

Normally, Noivern needs to be at the Elite Four level to learn this move, which is why it is so difficult to master. Elite Four level Pokémon are rare, so a significant number of Noivern Pokémon cannot learn the Burst move.

Long Yanning's Sonic Dragon is currently only at the Quasi-Heavenly King level. The reason it was able to learn the Sonic Wave skill ahead of time is because it was taught by Long Fan's Sonic Dragon.

This is essentially a passing down of knowledge, from Long Fan to Long Yan Ning, and now from Long Yan Ning to Xia Yu.

"The core of the Sonic Wave skill is to emit a huge sound, which spreads outward with Normal-type energy, creating an effect similar to an explosion, severely damaging all surrounding enemies," Long Yanning explained to Xia Yu's Sonic Wave Dragon.

"The Sonic Wave skill is essentially an advanced version of the Great Sound skill. The core of the Great Sound skill is to damage enemies through sound vibrations and the energy carried by high frequencies."

"But the core of Boom is the explosion, and it is extremely difficult to cause an explosion. Not only do you need to have a very high talent in sound, but you also need to have a very high talent in energy control. This is why the vast majority of Pokémon cannot learn the Boom move."

"Most Pokémon that can learn Sonic Wave are those with extremely high talent in sound."

"For example, the Explosive Monster, the Vibrating Salamence, the Soundwave Dragon, the Thunder King Kong, the Staff-tailed Kommo-o, and the Desert Dragonfly all have unique talents in sound."

"Sonic Dragon, watch our demonstration first, and get a feel for it."

After Long Yanning finished her introduction, she patted the sonic dragon next to her and began the first demonstration.

Then, Normal-type energy began to surge from Noivern's body, gathering in its enormous ears.

Noivern is a unique Pokémon. It usually communicates by making sounds with its mouth, but in actual battles, sound-based moves such as Ultrasonic and Blast Wave are made by making sounds with its ears.

As the Sonic Dragon's energy accumulated, it soon reached a critical value.

At that moment, Noivern pricked up its ears and unleashed an astonishing sonic boom. In just an instant, the ground in front of Noivern cracked and rocks shattered, as if a massive explosion had occurred, leaving the area in ruins.

Xia Yu and the sonic dragon beside him watched this scene with surprise on their faces, marveling at the powerful force of the sonic boom.

"Sonic Wave is very powerful. It's the second most powerful Special Attack move among Normal-type moves, second only to Hyper Beam. But its advantage is that it has no side effects," Long Yanning said to Xia Yu.

She was able to serve as a teacher in the combat course at Imperial Capital University because she had a very solid foundation in basic theoretical knowledge.

"Unfortunately, among Normal-type Pokémon, only the Swellow family, Rattlesaw, Togepi, Exploud, and Garchomp can learn Burrowstrike. These Pokémon aren't particularly strong in Special Attack." Long Yan Ning realized she had gone off-topic and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Alright, Noivern, you try it out first."

Xia Yu's Noisy Dragon nodded and imitated Long Yan Ning's Noisy Dragon's movements, gathering Normal-type energy and then suddenly releasing a powerful sonic wave.

Unfortunately, the sonic boom released by the Noisy Dragon only created a gust of wind and could not cause an explosion.

"Very good, it's already quite good that you were able to create a strong wind at the beginning." Long Yanning praised the Sonic Dragon with a smile and encouraged it to continue trying. "Blowing up a sonic wave isn't something you can learn easily. You need both talent and strength. Come on, try a few more times."

Looking at Long Yanning, who was full of patience and spoke gently, Xia Yu suddenly realized that the most suitable profession for Teacher Long was actually a teacher.

She has extensive theoretical knowledge, patience, and outstanding personal strength. At the same time, unlike Xiao Wanyu, who is a woman with eight hundred cunning schemes, Long Yanning is not very scheming. Therefore, she is not suitable to be the head of the sect or one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guarding a region.

She is better suited to working in an ivory tower like a university, as a teacher who educates and nurtures students, and more importantly, she enjoys this profession.

If Teacher Long can continue working in this industry for a long time.

Who knows, maybe Teacher Long can even teach her own children in the future, and be a good wife and mother, that would be wonderful.

As Xia Yu pondered this, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

…………

After handing over Noiveron to Teacher Long for special training, Xia Yu simply began to train Axew and Shellder Dragon. These two little guys were at a critical stage of their impending evolution, and now they could not be careless for a moment. They had to lay a solid foundation as much as possible.

The two spent the afternoon training their Pokémon in the training room. This unique way of dating is quite rare among couples, but they both enjoyed it.

The scene before my eyes was like returning to the time when Long Yanning tutored Xia Yu every night in the secret realm.

Looking back now, their relationship must have blossomed rapidly during that period.

…………

It was five o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Yu said, "Let's go. Let's stop training here for today, go wash up and change our clothes, then have dinner and go to the concert."

"Okay." Long Yanning nodded, then looked at Xia Yu seriously and instructed, "When I'm not around, you should also urge the Sonic Dragon to practice more. There are no shortcuts to learning the Sonic Wave skill."

"Mm." Xia Yu nodded.

"You also need to take care of the Axe-toothed Dragon's teeth every day. Its teeth are growing extremely fast at this stage, so we can't delay it," Long Yanning continued.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of them," Xia Yu replied.

"And the same goes for Shellder. At this time, we should start replenishing it with a lot of nutrients and Flying-type energy to provide enough energy for it to evolve into Salamence and hatch." Long Yanning stared at Xia Yu and said seriously, "No matter how busy you are, you can't forget to take care of your Pokémon."

"I understand." Xia Yu listened to Long Yanning's instructions and gave a wry smile.

That's the charm of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man; she's always considerate and thoughtful.

"Alright, Teacher Long, it's time for our date now," Xia Yu said with a smile. "Let's not talk about training anymore."

"Xia Yu, I'm not joking with you. You need to remember what I just said." Long Yan Ning looked at Xia Yu with concern, afraid that she would forget what she said in the blink of an eye.

“I wasn’t joking. How about this, send me a message with what you just said, and I’ll make it into a memo.”

“Okay.” Long Yanning’s eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

Chapter 436 Concert

The capital city, a stadium.

Xia Yu and Long Yanning, fully armed and wearing masks, walked hand in hand through the VIP entrance to the concert.

The handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of countless people, and many even mistook them for celebrities who came to support the event, given their fully disguised appearance.

In the dim light, there were many young couples like them around, their faces beaming with happiness.

Attending a concert together as a couple offers a unique experience, especially when it's a top-tier singer like Lin Shumeng.

Lin Shumeng, as a national goddess and the youngest pop diva in China, has always enjoyed immense popularity. Since her debut, she has had many enthusiastic fans, and her concert tickets are ridiculously expensive.

The two front-row tickets that Long Yanning obtained through someone else would have cost at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan if purchased from scalpers.

Of course, Lin Shumeng's popularity is not only due to her beauty, sweet voice, and title of "Queen of Love Songs," but also because she has another identity that fans talk about.

The Electric-type Gym Leader of Shanghai is a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, the Shanghai Electric-type Gym is one of the most profitable gyms in the country.

For this reason, she, who possesses both talent and beauty, has always been a goddess in the hearts of countless people.

…………

Xia Yu and Long Yanning walked hand in hand to their seats and sat down quietly, waiting for the concert to begin.

Soon, all the surrounding seats were filled, tens of thousands of seats were occupied, and some fans who had not bought tickets even lingered outside the venue, unwilling to leave.

"Xia Yu." Long Yan Ning's face was filled with a happy smile. Even though the mask covered most of her face, her curved eyebrows and eyes could still be seen.

Long Yan Ning gently rested her head on Xia Yu's shoulder and murmured, "Xia Yu."

"What's wrong?" Xia Yu asked.

"Do you like Lin Shumeng?" Long Yanning's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. "We've been together for so long, and you've never said what kind of girl you like. Do you like someone like Lin Shumeng?"

"Uh..." Faced with this potentially disastrous question, Xia Yu reacted quickly. Although he didn't have much experience in dating, his theoretical knowledge was extremely solid.

In this situation, you can't be silly and honestly state your preferred type of girl, nor can you directly say "I like your type." That would seem too perfunctory and insincere.

"I like women who are tall, preferably like models, over 1.7 meters tall, with long legs. They should be elegant, understanding, capable in both social and domestic settings, gentle and considerate, and preferably a little older than me."

Although Xia Yu did not explicitly mention Long Yanning's name in his words, his words were full of praise for her.

Xia Yu glanced at Long Yanning's expression and continued, "Although Lin Shumeng is also very beautiful, to be honest, she's always lacking something. To be honest, in my heart, she's still slightly inferior to you."

"You're so glib." Although Long Yanning was talking about Xia Yu, her smile widened, and she gently put her arm around Xia Yu's shoulder, like a little bird nestled against him: "Let's go to the concert."

…………

Ten minutes later.

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, and the fans immediately let out excited screams, clearly indicating that the concert was about to begin.

All the lights focused on the center of the stage. As beautiful music played, Lin Shumeng, dressed in a white butterfly dress and wearing a white veil, appeared on the stage like a fairy descending to earth with exquisite makeup, along with a rising platform.

Lin Shumeng held a microphone in her hand, and the music playing was her signature song, the love song "Love Song," which is familiar to her fans.

As the melodious prelude began, even Xia Yu, who rarely followed the entertainment industry, had heard Lin Shumeng's signature song.

A dozen seconds later, as the prelude ended, Lin Shumeng parted her red lips slightly. As soon as she opened her mouth, her heavenly voice rang out, shaking everyone's hearts and instantly eliciting cheers from the fans.

Xia Yu, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but admire Lin Shumeng's singing skills. Her voice was truly remarkable, and she captivated everyone from the moment she opened her mouth.

Although Xia Yu doesn't understand music, she has to admit that this song is really good.

Long Yanning was also moved by the singing, her eyes shining as she waved her arms along with the song.

Seeing this, Xia Yu also reached out and gently took Long Yan Ning's hand. Together, they waved their arms to the beautiful singing.

It has to be said that listening to a live concert is a completely different experience from listening to a recording. The atmosphere at the concert infected Xia Yu and Long Yanning, and their eyes met from time to time, as if there was love flowing between them.

…………

The concert ended at 11 p.m. Xia Yu, having finished his day's activities, first took Long Yan Ning back to her apartment, and then reluctantly said goodbye to her.

"I'm leaving, Yan Ning."

"Xia Yu." Long Yanning, who was standing at the door, suddenly called out to Xia Yu. Her face was slightly red and her eyes showed a hint of hesitation. She then asked, "Where do you usually live? You don't live in the dormitory. It's not very convenient to live at home with Elder Chi and the others. Why don't you... move in with me?"
