Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

"A lot."

Marcia glanced at the elevator that was about to leave.

Then he walked to the side and opened the bag of tree fruits he wanted to keep.

It comes in all sorts of fruit flavors.

It's also noticeably spicier.

Master Guang Sheng glanced at it.

"That kid is quite thoughtful; he even guessed your taste correctly."

"A lot."

Marshado looked at the fruit in the bag, then took out a letter from the pile of fruit.

It has a drawing of Bianxiang and Gastly's smiling faces on it.

Marcia looked at the envelope, then at the bag of tree fruits, and blinked her orange-yellow eyes.

He took a spicy tree fruit from inside and ran straight to the railing by the tower with his short legs.

He sat down, eating a tree fruit with one hand and holding the sealed painting with the other, his orange-yellow eyes fixed on the painting.

Two short legs wobbled back and forth.

Master Guang Sheng smiled; he could tell that Masado was in a good mood.

How many years has it been since Marshall received a gift?

It was indeed getting a bit boring for the elf to follow this old man.

However, young Master Guang Sheng watched Marshado's retreating figure.

Even if you inherit the trumpet bud tower, it doesn't mean you own Marshall.

This child is very picky.

All the abbots, including Master Guang Sheng, tried to subdue Mashado when they were young.

Since its inception, no one has ever successfully built the Trumpet Sprout Tower.

The relationship between Marchado and Blancpain is more like a collaboration.

Young man, you have a long road ahead of you.

.....

I was thinking about home.

Ghost Stone

"Chie?"

Gastly emerged from Bensou's shadow and looked at him.

It must have learned new skills after evolving, right?

"Chie!"

Gastly nodded.

A hand emerged from Bianxiang's shadow.

He shook a purple venom ball in his hand, which gleamed dangerously in the moonlight.

Acid bomb.

He carefully examined the acid bomb in Gastly's hand.

"Okay, let's go to the testing facility at school tomorrow and see what kind of properties your acid bomb has."

"Chie?"

property?

Gastly swallowed the acid bomb whole, looking at it curiously as it pondered.

By now, I've gotten used to it; Haunter has a habit of absorbing all of its skills.

This seems to be a way for Haunter to practice its skills?

I didn't pay much attention to it while I was thinking about it.

Bian took out a book from the bookshelf introducing the Poison Attribute Master and explained: "Acid bombs have poison attribute attacks and also have corrosive properties."

"It can weaken the defense of local spirits."

"Of course, it also has a slight toxicity."

There are many types of poison.

He pointed to the manual and said.

"Kikuko is the Ghost-type Elite Four member and also a master of the Poison type."

"All of her Poison-type attacks have a strong corrosive effect."

Chapter 42 Martial Arts Training

Seeing Gastly's seemingly confused expression, Bian Xiang chuckled softly and turned the page, saying, "This is Aju, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City, the only Poison-type Gym Leader in the Major League."

"The toxins his elves use can slowly paralyze their prey."

"It doesn't take effect as quickly as electric-type attacks, but once it does, it means you've already failed. Moreover, its toxins are quite stubborn and difficult to remove completely. Therefore, Fuchsia City's medical center is the strongest medical center for treating poison-type attacks, and Fuchsia City Gym is also listed as one of the gyms that trainers least want to challenge."

"It is said that he is currently vying for the title of Heavenly King."

He closed the manual after thinking about it.

"So we'll test the effects of your toxin tomorrow."

"Chie!"

Gastly nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Bian stood up, yawned, and stretched.

"Alright, we've reviewed the Poison Attribute Master Manual together. Let's skip today's Buddhist scripture recitation."

He said, as he was about to put the book on the bookshelf.

I earned 80 points of Buddhist virtue today, and I'm thinking of just letting myself go and doing nothing.

"Chie?"

Gastly looked up and pondered.

One hand grabbed Bian Xiang's hand, which was about to put the book on the shelf, and shook his head.

"Chie!"

No.

"Just give me a day off! Just one day of rest. Besides, you just evolved today, so you need to rest properly."

He thought for a moment and then forcefully shoved his hand into the bookshelf.

"Chie!"

Gastly shook its head. "Keep going, Trainer!"

...

As I sat down at my desk, watching Gastly intently reading Buddhist scriptures, I realized that even after evolving, its personality hadn't changed at all.

Today's total Buddhist-nature value: 272 points.

Ghost Stone

Ghost attribute, Poison attribute

Immovable Hades Body Progress: 94/400

Skills: Licking, Ultrasonic Wave, Acid Bomb, Misfortune Comes in Pairs, Fright, Black Eyes, Hypnosis.

...

The next day, at Haruno Junior High School, in the skills testing area.

"Alright, Gastly, unleash your full power with the acid bomb."

"Chie!"

Acid bomb!!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

An acid bomb can be released in about 2.5 seconds.

This frequency can be used directly in actual combat.

The release speed was even faster than the first time when misfortunes struck again.

Of course, the later ones couldn't compare; the last two misfortunes were almost instantaneous.
