Chapter 280 Special Training Direction

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window of the temporary medical room and shines into every corner of the house.

Zhang Heng stretched, stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains. The sunlight instantly became brighter. The sea lion was awakened by the light, broke free from Yishu's arms, and ran to the window, curiously looking at the world outside.

"Guno~" the sea lion called excitedly and rubbed the window glass with his little nose.

Yishu also slowly woke up, and seeing the lively appearance of the ball sea lion, a happy smile appeared on her face. She stood up and walked to the ball sea lion, gently stroking its head.

"We are going to start a new life today, little one." Yishu said gently.

At that moment, Zhang Heng's communicator suddenly buzzed. He opened it and saw a message from the organizers of the sea fishing competition, reminding everyone that there was not much time left before the next day's competition began and that the contestants needed to prepare as soon as possible.

Zhang Heng's heart tightened, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Mienshao. A bold idea quickly formed in his mind.

Turning back, he asked, "Yishu, if I use the Competition Ball to capture Pokémon, can they serve as my aids in today's competition?"

Yishu lowered his eyes in thought and said, "The rules don't restrict whether Pokémon captured by the Forbidden Ball can participate in the game, so we can let Milotic assist."

Zhang Heng said, "This sea fishing competition is held at sea, which is an excellent training ground for water-type Pokémon like Milotic. Practicing in actual combat will definitely be much more effective than simple training. Moreover, with Milotic's help, the chances of catching rare Pokémon will also be greatly increased."

After hearing this, Yishu's eyes flashed with surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "That sounds like a good idea. However, Mienshao's injury hasn't fully recovered yet, so we have to be extra careful during the game."

Zhang Heng came to Mienhao again, squatted down, looked into Mienhao's eyes and said, "Mienhao, are you willing to join us in the competition? This is also a good opportunity for you to become stronger."

Milotic was wagging its tail, eager to try, and exuding anticipation for the upcoming challenge.

Just then, brisk footsteps were heard. Yishu's aunt, Ou Yuhua, arrived with breakfast. As soon as Ou Yuhua entered the room, her gaze was instantly drawn to the Milotic. A flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes. As an experienced water-type trainer, she could tell at a glance that this Milotic was extraordinary, possessing a talent at least above the Celestial King level.

"Oh, is this your new Pokémon?" Ou Yuhua looked at Zhang Heng and asked.

Zhang Heng quickly shook his head and said, "No, Aunt Ou. This is the Mienshao we rescued from an isolated island yesterday. I plan to return it to its habitat after healing its wounds."

Ou Yuhua nodded approvingly, expressing her approval of Zhang Heng's actions. In her opinion, as a responsible trainer, saving wild Pokémon was something to be commended.

Then, Ou Yuhua said softly, "So that's why you were so anxious yesterday. Although this Mienshao has amazing recovery abilities, judging by the serious injuries it suffered yesterday, with its current strength, it will still be defeated again if it returns to the wild."

When Mienshao heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. "Goo-ho!" At this time, the ball sea lion ran to Mienshao and flapped his small flippers, as if trying to encourage Mienshao. Mienshao shook his head lightly, as if to say that he was okay.

Ou Yuhua then noticed the Sea Lion and said, "Yishu, has your Pokémon egg hatched? This Pokémon has great potential as a Water-type Pokémon. You must nurture it well."

Yishu nodded and said, "I will, aunt."

Zhang Heng continued, "Auntie Ou, you're right. It's true that Mienshao isn't strong enough to return to the wild right now, so I hope to give it some special training through this sea fishing competition."

As an elder who is proficient in water-type Pokémon, he also became interested and asked, "How do you want to train?"

"I want to let Milotic use its existing skills more skillfully and explore the possibility of skill combinations, such as combining water-based moves with water conditions. Moreover, I am also considering letting Milotic learn new skills so that it can deal fatal blows to powerful enemies in the wild at critical moments."

After pondering for a moment, Ou Yuhua offered a suggestion: "Your idea is quite sound. Let Milotic pay more attention to the changes in water flow in different scenarios. This will help it control its skills. For example, in shallow water and deep water, the water flow characteristics are different, so the timing and method of skill release must also be changed."

Zhang Heng had some discussions with Aunt Ou, had a simple breakfast with Yishu, and then brought Mienchaos to the starting point of the sea fishing competition.

The surrounding contestants were instantly excited when they saw them appear with Mienshao. The crowd was filled with sounds of amazement and envy.

"Oh my God, that's a Milotic! It's so rare!" A contestant widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Who is this young man? He's so close to the organizers and even owns such a rare Pokémon, Milotic. I've participated in the competition so many times, but I've never seen Milotic." Another contestant frowned, his eyes full of jealousy.

"Maybe he has a special background and can subdue Milotic. The strength of this family should not be underestimated. Don't bring bad luck to him in this competition." Someone whispered.

At the back of the crowd, a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance was staring at Zhang Heng with resentment.

He was the middle-aged man who had competed with Zhang Heng for the golden carp king that was caught, and was defeated.

At this moment, he gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice, "He is indeed a child of aristocratic family. Not only does he have Milotic, but he also has the Shiny Magikarp that he caught before, and even the Shiny Swampert that defeated me. Humph, it seems I have to give him some trouble."

He pulled a satellite phone from his pocket and quickly punched in a number. When the call connected, he immediately began to flatter, "Hello, is this Mr. Liao? I'm Old Chen, the man who gave you some rare Pokémon."

Mr. Liao's slightly lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, Lao Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Mr. Liao, I discovered a young boy here who possesses incredibly rare Pokémon. He has a Magikarp, a Milotic, and even more outrageous, a shiny Water-type Shovelthrush!"

Mr. Liao suddenly became excited: "Oh? He has so many rare Pokémon, what's his background?"

Old Chen wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Heng and also to flatter Mr. Liao.

He quickly said, "Maybe he has some background, but no matter how prominent he is, he's definitely not half as powerful as your Liao family in East China. Master Liao, if you stamp your foot, the whole area will shake three times. He's just a little kid, how can he compare to you? If you make a move, these treasures will be easily obtained."

Mr. Liao chuckled: "Interesting, tell me about your plan..."
