Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

This time, Xiao Ling increased the strength of her hand and threw the dart out with force.

With a "whoosh" sound, a hole appeared on the originally intact target, and the dart that was shot out disappeared.

"Oops, I used too much strength and failed to leave the dart there." Xiao Ling covered her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed, and then said, "I'll try again."

"Wait a minute, sir," the boss said anxiously, "You've already succeeded. Go over there and get a doll and leave."

What a joke, if this female Dragonite throws all the remaining darts, will the target still be there?

"But I still..." Xiao Ling hesitated.

"Let's go, Xiao Ling. Look at that turkey doll, it's so furry and cute." Feng said as he pushed Xiao Ling from behind, making the boss beside him breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ling was pushed by Feng towards the prize area, looking back at the broken target as she walked.

"That's amazing..." The boss looked at the big hole with lingering fear, secretly thanking himself that he had let her go. At the same time, he began to wonder: This girl looks so weak, but I didn't expect her to be so strong. Could she be a Pokémon?

Xiao Ling came to the prize area and saw the Fire Chicken doll on the top of the list at a glance. She stood on tiptoe, reached out and took it down, holding it in her arms, and then went to the next game store with Feng laughing happily.

……

The happy morning passed quickly, and when the two walked out of Kaina Market, it was almost noon and the sun was high in the sky.

"Let's find a place to eat." Feng suggested.

Xiao Ling nodded, sniffed her nose, and then pointed to a ramen shop on the side of the road and said, "Let's go there and eat. I smell the fragrance."

The two walked into the store and found an empty seat to sit down. Soon after, two bowls of steaming ramen were served.

Xiao Ling and Feng each picked up a bowl. The noodles in the bowl were of uniform thickness and each strand was distinct, and were topped with exquisite side dishes such as cauliflower and carrots. The most eye-catching thing was the exquisitely crafted Pikachu and Poké Ball floating on the noodles.

A yellow rice ball sits in the center of the ramen, serving as Pikachu's chubby head. Black seaweed cleverly outlines his lively eyes, playful mouth, and pointed ears. The signature blush on each side of Pikachu's face is made up of two thinly sliced slices of ham, creating a vibrant, mouth-watering color.

The Poké Ball beside it is even more ingenious. The upper part is made of juicy red crab meat, while the lower part is a snow-white rice ball, separated by a piece of seaweed, creating a sharp contrast.

The entire Poké Ball looks like a fine work of art, and you can tell the store put a lot of care into its production.

"Wow, it looks delicious!" Xiao Ling couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at Xiao Ling's eating habits, and started eating too.

After finishing her ramen, Xiao Ling burped contentedly. "I'm full now. Where should we go this afternoon?"

Feng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the Alliance Store? I have a few skill discs I want to buy."

"Okay, I also want to see if there are any suitable props." Xiao Ling said excitedly.

Entering the Alliance Store, the dazzling array of merchandise was still dazzling. Feng walked over to the skill disc shelf and began carefully selecting one. Xiao Ling meandered around, looking for any items she liked.

Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a black belt in a special counter. Curious, Xiao Ling walked forward and examined the black belt carefully. It was gleaming with a faint light, emitting overflowing attribute energy.

"How much is this black belt?" Xiao Ling asked, pointing at the black belt.

The clerk came over with a smile. "This black belt was just received today. It can enhance the power of fighting skills, but it's not cheap."

Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, "That's great!"

In her family, only those who are at the level of gym leader or above and have passed the family assessment can apply for the black belt as a proof and symbol of strength, and even Xiao Ling is no exception.

Universal Pokémon items like Black Belt, Miracle Seed, and Soft Sand are generally in high demand, quickly snapping up as soon as they appear in stores by Trainers with the corresponding Pokémon types. Specialized items like Power Booster and Spirit Cloth, on the other hand, are less popular and often take a while to sell, but they are also more valuable.

Xiao Ling was lucky enough to catch the arrival of the black belt. She had always wanted to buy one for herself and Blaziken, and now it seemed like a timely help.

Feng came over after hearing the noise and when he saw the price of the black belt, he couldn't help but gasp: "So expensive..."

This black belt costs more than two million League Coins. Even ordinary gym leader-level trainers are reluctant to buy it. Only those who specialize in fighting will grit their teeth and buy it.

Xiao Ling took out her bank card without saying a word and paid directly, buying it generously.

Feng had also chosen the skill discs at this time, namely Earthquake, Secret Power and Charm.

Earthquake is for Gyarados to learn, while Secret Power and Charm are for Feng to learn.

Learning Earthquake can make Gyarados more capable of fighting against electric-type attacks, and it can also develop "Earth Tail" to resist and restrain Gyarados's Thunder Fist.

Feng can learn the secret power to open up a simple secret base in the wild, enhance survivability, and in different venues, if additional effects are achieved, it can have surprising effects.

As for charming...

Feng didn't want to use it on Pokémon, but rather on humans. He didn't know how effective it would be, but if it was particularly effective on the opposite sex, then...

There is a lot of room for operation!

Although this is the world of Pokémon, except for the deep wilderness, it is actually humans who are in charge. If you want to become stronger, you can't just deal with Pokémon.

Even the most talented trainer needs the support of a strong and wealthy family, master, friends or organization to reach the top. Otherwise, he will be trapped in making money all his life and drag down his talent.

Didn't you see how difficult and dangerous it was for Feng to travel alone before he met Xiao Ling? Since Xiao Ling was by his side, rare skills, King-level Pokémon escorts, and even precious resources such as Pokémon potions can be easily obtained.

As long as the Charming skill works on the opposite sex, it will greatly increase Feng's efficiency in making friends with the opposite sex and gain enough connections to cultivate Pokémon. And there are countless powerful and wealthy female trainers in this world!

All roads lead to Rome, and there is more than one way to the top. The opportunity is right in front of us, so why not take advantage of it?

……

After spending about 80 to purchase and learn three skills, Feng and Xiao Ling left the Alliance Store contentedly, planning to find a training ground to test the effects.

Now, apart from a few major consumption items and other miscellaneous expenses, Feng has less than 100 million Alliance coins left in total.

This also shows how expensive it is to train Pokémon.

Learning skills is a bottomless pit, but trainers still have to invest in it.

You've never seen Feng easily defeat wild Pokémon of the same level. They don't even have defensive skills, and any counter skills can cause serious damage. And when fighting Cortana, Ironpalm almost lost. Not to mention the command level, just the variety of skills alone is very difficult to deal with.

The two came to the largest training ground in Kaina City, booked two elite-level rooms, and then went in separately to start training.

The room was very expensive, costing 5 Alliance coins for an afternoon, but there was a reason for the high price.

The room is equipped with level-specific exercise equipment, ability testing equipment, and a Pokémon health recovery device. You can even borrow Pokémon of the same level to help you train. You can use it as a punching bag or help guide your Pokémon. As long as you don't seriously injure it or take its Poké Ball, it's fine.
