Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Elder Guang Sheng took the Poké Ball containing Noctowl from his pocket and put it back in the cabinet. Then he took out four Poké Balls from two lower shelves.

Bian Xiang looked at the label on the cabinet and his eyebrows twitched. Good grief, you use a near-gym level Pokémon to fight me, but a beginner level Pokémon to fight others, right?

You old bald monk, you've gone too far!

Chapter Nineteen: A Little Thought

Master Light Saint quickly took out four Poké Balls and then swiftly stuffed them into his pocket.

Turning my head, I saw Bian Xiang's indifferent gaze, which revealed a hint of disdain.

Even though Master Guang Sheng was old and had thick skin, he couldn't help but blush and began to explain.

"Ash, you need to know that different people have different paths, different futures, and different personalities, so they need to be given different guidance. Of course, the corresponding Pokémon will also be different. Of course, I treat everyone equally and fairly."

She looked at him without answering.

"cough!!"

Master Guang Sheng coughed.

After all, he was his future disciple, and it wouldn't be right for him to feel that it was too unfair.

"Look, you got first place, right? The first place winner can go directly to the registration desk on the first floor to receive a mid-level ghost-type energy crystal. First come, first served."

"Elder Guang Sheng, do we have this kind of event?? Well, of course we do!"

Mu Nian asked the question subconsciously, but immediately changed his mind when he saw Elder Guang Sheng's gaze.

"Alright, Ash, go get the crystal now, hurry up."

Master Guang Sheng waved to Bian Xiang, urging him to leave quickly.

"Mu Nian, take him to get it!!"

"Ash, keep up with me."

Mu Nian bowed to Bian Xiang and said.

Mu Nian now completely understands that this young man is the successor chosen by Master Guang Sheng.

Therefore, Mu Nian's expression was also very enthusiastic.

Bianxiang knew what was going on, but considering the energy crystals, he decided not to pursue the matter.

Wouldn't it be great to get a free Ghost-type Energy Crystal?

.....

The main entrance to the 20th floor of the Trumpet Bud Tower.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoops!!"

Silver, panting, looked at the gate in front of him, then turned to look at Gold, who was following closely behind him. No matter what, he had arrived before this guy!

As the doors opened!

The first thing Yin saw was that guy!

Even though he had his back to me!

"Ash!!"

Yin shouted directly at Bian Xiang.

Bian Xiang stood by the elevator, turned around to look at the red-haired boy, and waved.

Gastly isn't in good shape today, so I'll let you off the hook for now. Just don't let me run into you again!

Yin clenched his fists tightly.

He, who was always arrogant, has lost to Bian Xiang twice in a row!!

And it was a complete and utter defeat!!

The difference in strength between Gastly and Gastly was immediately apparent in the first battle!

On my second attempt to climb the Trumpet Sprout Tower, I couldn't even see Bian Xiang's back!

According to the racers, they couldn't even smell the exhaust fumes.

Losing so badly is really upsetting for Yin. Is the gap in skill really that big? Doesn't it make all her hard work seem ridiculous?

Elder Guang Sheng's eyes lit up when he looked at Yin.

The boy's aura seemed to be changing, and the arrogant boy did not give Elder Guang Sheng a very good first impression.

Arrogant! This applies to others, and even to his own spirits! He treats spirits more like tools!

Even with amazing talent, such an attitude is destined to prevent one from reaching the top.

Now, Elder Guang Sheng saw an opportunity for change.

Now, after the boy sees Ash and calls out his name, the light around him changes.

Perhaps his future disciple, Xiaozhi, can help this boy?

The expression on Elder Guang Sheng's face now was exactly like that of someone looking at their own disciple.

Bian Xiang couldn't understand Elder Guang Sheng's thoughts. His idea was simple: next time he encountered that kid Du Yin.

.....

At night, I thought about home.

In Bian Xiang's left hand was a ghost-type energy crystal.

A mid-grade energy crystal with a purplish-black appearance costs around three thousand.

Based on my dad's job, I could probably buy about three.

The higher the level, the more outrageous the price of energy crystals becomes.

Low-level energy crystals only require a few hundred.

As for those energy crystals customized by masters, in addition to being able to accelerate the growth of elves extremely quickly, they are said to be able to change the aptitude of elves to a certain extent, and some can even help them evolve and learn skills.

Of course, the prices are also very high, and there is no market for them. Most of the masterpieces are directly bought up by the alliance and some groups. Only a small number of energy crystals flow into the market, and they are snapped up by everyone as soon as they are released.

Who wouldn't want to go further? But for Bian Xiang right now, intermediate-level energy crystals are enough.

This energy crystal will allow Gastly to use it for two weeks.

One advantage of Ghost-type Pokémon is that they don't really need physical food; they only eat to satisfy their appetite. Ghost-type food mainly consists of negative energy, and Ghost-types themselves unconsciously alter the surrounding environment, causing people's moods to drop. This is one of the reasons why it's generally not recommended to choose a Ghost-type as your starter Pokémon. Trainers who use Ghost-type as their main type often appear depressed and gloomy, which is a common perception online.

Of course, the Gastly with a penchant for thinking is an exception. How could a Gastly that likes to read Buddhist scriptures be so melancholic? With the added bonus of the first-level Immovable Dark Body, the Gastly with a penchant for thinking looks natural and gentle.

Of course, the most important thing is this cursed symbol.

Bian Xiang just pulled the cursed talisman out of his pocket.

It was a high-quality cursed talisman, exuding an ominous aura. Just holding it in his hand made Bian Xiang feel quite uncomfortable.

Gastly, who was quietly reading Buddhist scriptures nearby, immediately floated over.

Floating in Bian Xiang's arms, his eyes were fixed on the talisman.

Bian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you later."

After being hit head-on by an air blade in the morning, he rested for a while in Bianxiang's shadow at noon, and by evening he was back to his old self, full of energy. It seems that the Unmoving Underworld Body has a built-in healing function? Or is this kid just naturally strong?

This saved Bian Xiang money on treatment.

The Curse Symbol can increase the attack power of Ghost-type moves.

The effectiveness of the enhancement depends on the quality of the cursed rune.

That's not the point; the runes on the cursed symbol are quite valuable for research.

Moreover, the runes on it are very peculiar, and ordinary people cannot see the full picture of this spell.

Of course, there are also special groups of people who can see the talismans clearly.

For example, Komatsu, the headmaster of the Enishi City Dojo next door.

You can barely make out the general pattern of the cursed symbol.

According to him, the runes on different cursed symbols are different.

Different runes produce different effects, which reminded Bian of the Taoist runes from his previous life.

The Buddhist system happens to have a skill called "Clear and Pure Eyes".

I can see through illusions, but I don't know if I can see through this incantation.

Actually, my main thought was whether I could copy the cursed talisman and sell it.

After all, lying down requires material support.

Of course, this is just an idea, and there is a lot of preparation needed later.

The first step is to accumulate 10000 Buddhist-like points.
