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

Finally arriving in front of the legendary Golden Wave, Feng couldn't help but look up at this behemoth. The cruise ship before him was like a giant steel beast, proudly standing above the turbulent sea.

Although he knew that life on the ship might not be as good as he imagined, when he saw this huge ship and heard the sound of waves hitting the hull, Feng still couldn't help but feel excited about the upcoming trip, and his body and mind seemed to have broadened a lot.

The Jinlang is about 300 meters long and 40 meters wide. It can carry more than 5,000 passengers and has more than 1,000 crew members.

There are sixteen decks in total, with guest rooms on floors six through thirteen, and above thirteen hosting restaurants, shops, training rooms, battle arenas, and entertainment facilities. Below the sixth floor are game rooms, theaters, a shopping arcade, and crew quarters. I've heard there's also a small black market, but I'm unsure if that's true.

The Jinlanghao is open to the public from 12 noon to 18:.

Feng arrived just in time. After checking his ticket and getting the key, he entered the cabin and came to his sea view room on the seventh floor.

Opening the door, the room, about 20 square meters, seemed rather cramped. It contained a small, solid single bed, a small TV on the wall, a table and chairs, a small wardrobe against the wall, a tiny bathroom, and a round window looking out. While the room was small, it was manageable as long as I didn't let any medium or large Pokémon out.

Although there is no signal or external network on the ship, there is an intranet TV, where you can see some news and advertisements on the ship, such as discounts at a restaurant, theater performance arrangements, etc.

Just as Feng entered the room, the door of the next room suddenly opened, and an uncle wearing a straw hat was about to leave the room. Seeing Feng looking at him, he smiled and waved as a greeting.

Feng nodded at him and went into the room and closed the door.

Then he carefully checked the room and made sure there was nothing unusual. Then he put away the elf egg of Kapok Ball and took a rest on the bed.

Afterwards, Feng told Xianla beside him to behave more calmly on the boat, and then he walked out of the room and planned to go to the training room on the 14th floor.

Feng walked through the corridor and took the elevator to the 14th floor, where he found the private training room by following the sign. This occupied a large area on the ship, with many rooms to choose from. Trainers went through the formalities at the counter and were then led by the staff to their reserved training rooms.

"Excuse me, how much does it cost to rent a training room?" Feng asked the staff behind the counter.

"Sir, the training rooms on our ship are divided into Quasi-King, Gym, Elite, and Advanced levels. Which one would you like to rent?"

"Elite level."

"Elite level is 5000 Alliance Coins every three hours. If you use it all day, it will cost 1.5 Alliance Coins. If you use it monthly, it will only cost 30 Alliance Coins. And the number of places is limited."

“Monthly subscription.”

"Sir, you can get the key to the training room after you pay. You can come anytime throughout the day."

Perhaps because there was no signal on the ship after going out to sea, the Jinlang did not allow tourists to pay by bank card, and could only pay in cash. Feng received a reminder from the staff when buying the ticket, so he withdrew all the money from the card.

After paying, Feng still had less than 70 Alliance Coins. But he didn't feel bad. He would need to train every day in the future. It was a necessity and he couldn't save money.

Arriving at the training room, Feng unlocked it with his key. Pushing the door open, he found it surprisingly empty. It turned out this training ground was just a large, empty room, devoid of any training equipment. The walls and floor were made of a special material that wouldn't easily break. Luckily, Feng had already purchased training equipment at Kaina Market, so he could train on his own.

After checking that there was no surveillance equipment in the house, Feng locked the door.

Having not eaten lunch yet, Feng planned to visit the restaurant on the 15th floor to see if there were any special dishes on board. He had no idea that this walk would take quite a while. The ship was so huge, almost like a small city, and just traveling back and forth between places took a lot of time. The battle area in the center of the deck was like a large square.

The restaurant area has various flavors, including Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kanto, and Unova...presumably to meet the needs of people in various regions.

Feng was curious about the food in Unova, so he went into a Unova restaurant where Fairy Eevee was trying to attract customers. He found the food to be indescribable, and he felt cheated, which made him miss the days when he and Xiao Ling were eating together.

After finishing his meal, Feng walked back to the training room with great difficulty. He first gave himself and several Pokémon some Pokémon potions, and then he carefully studied the training plan.

Currently, the team has an elite-level Shieldsword, a high-level Gyarados, and a juvenile-level Ula.

If you follow the habit, you will reach the elementary level through natural growth in two weeks, and then you can start training.

After many battles and careful training by Feng, Gyarados has reached level 38. Its flying energy is more abundant, and it can basically maintain flight throughout the battle, and can also release bounce attacks multiple times.

Feng developed a "flying tail" for him as a means of bouncing attack, which is to gather flying energy to the tail and use the tail to attack.

Gyarados's special moves now include: "Ice Tail", "Evil Tail", "Ground Tail", "Flying Tail", "Saltwater Tail", "Hot Water Tail", Dragon Dance dodge skills, bouncing flight and the most practical intimidation + scary face.

And the performance of these skills can be further enhanced, such as condensing energy into a sharper "sword" shape.

Using slashing attacks instead of blunt strikes from its tail reduces the area of impact and increases the power of the blow. Coupled with Gyarados's long tail, a single sweep is enough to cleave a weaker opponent in half. In a fight, wielding its greatsword with unparalleled power, it could even be called a "sword dragon" or "slashing dragon."

Intimidation + Scary Face can be used as a "will judgment". Anyone whose will is not up to standard will suffer an extra attack in vain and fall into a disadvantage.

Finally, there is the Shield Sword Monster.

Name: Shield Sword Monster

Properties: steel, ghost

Level: 43 (Elite)

Features: Battle Switch

Qualification: Champion

Props: none

Skills: Impact, Slash, Shadow Attack, Lightweight Body, Swallow Return, Metal Sound, Cleave, Sneak Attack, Revenge, Holy Sword, King's Shield, Double-Edged Headbutt

Genetic Skills: Same Fate

Skill CD: Sword Dance, Iron Head, Sunlight Blade, Hold, Rock Slide, Tile Splitting, Shadow Claw, Psychic Blade, Shadow Ball, Reflection Wall, Air Blade

Feng actually wanted to develop the "Sword Qi" of the Shield Blade, that is, to allow the Holy Sword, Iron Head, etc. to be released as long-range attacks. However, at present, the Shield Blade can only release Shadow Ball, Air Blade and Rock Slide.

Then you can make some changes to the several skills that can be released externally, such as increasing the skill release speed at the expense of skill power, or changing the skill release form.

Taking Shadow Ball as an example, can we reduce the power and change single shot into continuous shot? We can also change the sphere into a blade shape and transform it into Shadow Blade. The same can be done for Feng's Destruction Star.

Would changing the shape of the Shadow Ball to a blade or spike improve the damage of the skill? As we all know, the sharper the knife, sword, or spear, the greater the damage. Could the same principle apply to skills?

Once you have an idea, you must implement it. Feng ordered the Shield Sword Monster to take action immediately.

In this way, as we continued to train, time flew by and it was already evening.

……

When Feng finished his boring dinner, he slowly walked out of the restaurant door. At this moment, the ship's broadcast suddenly sounded, and the sound spread throughout the ship. It was the staff reminding all the tourists that the ship was about to set sail.

As the broadcast ended, the ship shook slightly, and then moved forward slowly and steadily.

At this moment, it officially started a new journey.

Feng stood quietly on the deck, gazing at the receding Kaina City and the Hoenn region. A complex emotion welled up in his heart, and those past memories flooded back like a tide.

This place carries too many of his memories, including moments of despair, painful experiences, and difficult challenges. However, compared to these, there are also many moments of joy and happiness that bring him warmth and strength.

Each memory is part of his life journey, and together they have shaped who he is today.

Feng took a deep breath, feeling the cool night breeze blowing across his cheeks. He knew that there were more unknowns waiting for him to explore and experience.

But no matter what difficulties and challenges he will encounter in the future, he must overcome them, because he wants to survive and truly dominate this beautiful yet dangerous world.

Thinking of this, Feng opened his communication bracelet and sent Xiao Ling his last message in Fengyuan:

"Goodbye, Xiao Ling."

Goodbye, Hoenn.
