Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Bian thought it was a bit strange, as he had no recollection of ever having any interaction with someone like Master Guang Sheng.

Master Guang Sheng is known as a guiding light for beginners.

Furthermore, he has connections with many high-ranking members of the League, and even Ash, the Gym Leader of the Flying Gym in Violet City, has received guidance from Master Light.

However, he has countless students and mentors. In the Chengdu area, many outstanding trainers have also received guidance from Master Guang Sheng.

"Yes, Master Guang Sheng, they wish to meet you and insist that you come."

Mu Nian nodded and continued, "I don't understand why Master Guang Sheng wants to see this young man."

He frowned as he thought about it.

Chapter Sixteen: The Night Hawk - This is my all-out effort!

He frowned as he thought about it.

This reminded him of the old monk he had met yesterday.

But it's worth taking a look; there's no harm in doing so.

Bian looked up at Mu Nian and nodded.

"That would be troublesome."

"Yes, young man, please follow me."

After saying that, Mu Nian led Bian Xiang around several corners and arrived at an extremely secluded corner.

There's an elevator in this place.

Bianxiang stared blankly at the elevator for a moment.

"this...."

“Abbot Guang Sheng has had difficulty walking in recent years, so the temple specially built an elevator for him.”

"However, the abbot doesn't use it much and still insists on climbing the stairs every day."

Mu Nian looked at Bian Xiang and said.

"The Bell Bud Tower has an elevator?"

I stood in the elevator watching the number of floors change.

Reasonable!

Ding! The elevator went directly to the 20th floor rooftop.

A huge training ground appeared before Bian Xiang.

An old monk with white hair and beard stood there quietly.

Although I had expected it, I was still taken aback.

It really was that monk from yesterday.

Elder Guang Sheng stood there quietly, slowly turning around to look at Bian Si.

"You've come after all, young man, this must be fate!"

What do you mean? Didn't you ask me to come?

Elder Guang Sheng opened his arms.

"Welcome, young man! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are the first to reach the top of the tower! You truly deserve the name of a Buddhist disciple! Please tell me your name."

Buddhist disciple? What does this old bald monk want? For safety reasons, he decided to just state his name directly.

"I will never change my name or surname! Xiao Zhi!!"

"Ash! Great name!! Although I've already seen your brilliance."

"But young man, I still want to see the bond between you and your spirit!!"

"Let's have a battle!!!"

"Come out!! Night Hawk!!"

He looked at the night owl.

With its full coat, sharp eyes, two prominent eagle-like eyebrows, and strong, dark brown claws, it has a rich coat.

It's clearly a well-bred and high-quality nightjar.

But wait... I remember in the game, Elder Light's spirits were just a trumpet sprout and a cuckoo (a degenerate form of the night owl)!

Furthermore, the Noctowl Pokémon has a significant type disadvantage against the opponent!

Night Hawks with a typical flight attribute.

Normal type attacks can directly grant immunity to Ghost-type attacks.

Unfortunately, the Gastly that thinks about this only knows how to lick and scare.

Both of these skills are ghost-type, so they can't damage the Night Hawk at all.

More importantly, if the Night Hawk's characteristic is that it cannot sleep, then hypnosis is useless.

He looked around and began to think of a solution.

As for giving up? Even if he's lying low, he's still a trainer! If he won't even fight, he might as well go home and sell berries! You'll never know the outcome of a Pokémon battle if you don't try it out!

"Go, Gastly!!"

"just!!"

A pale blue Gastly rose from the shadows of Bianxiang; it had been waiting for a long time!

Guang Sheng smiled as he watched Bian Xiang's expression. Did he not hesitate at all?

He truly deserves to be the successor I've chosen.

Even in such a desperate situation, they never said they would give up.

They still maintain a high level of fighting spirit!

This Nightjar was an adjustment made by the Light Saint after reviewing the elf he wanted to bring yesterday.

It can be said that Master Guang Sheng specially prepared the elf for Bian Xiang!

Today, Guang Sheng wasn't planning to let Bian Xiang win!

Young man, let me be your first test!

"Mu Nian!!"

"Yes!!!"

Mu Nian stood in the middle of the huge training field.

"The match will be played one-on-one!"

"Master Guang Sheng versus Xiao Zhi!"

"The game officially begins!!"

"Go!! Gastly!!!"

"just!!"

At this moment, Bian Xiang really wished he could possess Ash Ketchum and become a master of type reversal.

"Fly, Night Hawk!!"

"Goo!"

With a long cry, the night owl took to the air and quickly seized air superiority.

This is a method often used by Flying-type Pokémon to suppress them directly in the air.

"Nighthawk, use Air Slash!!"

In an instant, several sharp white blades shot out from the wings of the Noctowl and rushed towards Gastly.

"Gastly should stay close to the ground and utilize the shadows!!"

"just!!"

Gastly suddenly sank into the shadow of a nearby rock, then quickly emerged from the side.

He barely dodged the two air slashes.

"Speed, not bad, but not enough."

"Night Hawk, keep using Air Slash!!"

A continuous stream of white, scimitar-shaped blades shot out towards Gastly.

Gastly stayed close to the ground, using its body's properties to quickly weave through the shadows of the stones on the ground to dodge the attacks of the air blades.

While quietly observing the scene, Bian thought that this Noctowl was the strongest Pokémon he had encountered so far!

Even stronger than Mr. Du's Pidgeot! The Air Blade is almost instantaneous, with no time to start, and the posture is quite standard, without interfering with its flight attitude at all. I remember seeing this textbook-perfect Air Blade when I was at the last Flying-type gym's public performance.

In other words, this Noctowl's level is close to or has already reached the Gym level!
