Ditto doesn't move

[Kill! This mere mongoose dares to challenge a strong opponent? Defeat him! BP Points +1]

[Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!...Rape!!!]

It seems some strange words have been mixed in, but it doesn't matter, they'll all fall to my fist of fighting spirit!

Defeat! Bombard!

Riolu, having already embarked on the path of a mighty warrior, decisively defeated more than a dozen wild Pokémon of higher level than itself!

Riolu, focused solely on the battle and following its trainer's teaching that "all distractions are impure until the battle is over," suddenly snapped back to reality to find itself surrounded by carnage! (Referring to its circled eyes)

I've become stronger?

A hint of doubt arose in Riolu's heart, but the moment his eyes met Xia Ming's, he suddenly shuddered.

No, they are too weak.

Thinking of this, Riolu humbly retreated to Xia Ming's side, but the growing crowd of onlookers had already begun to shout and cheer.

"Wow, that's amazing!" "What a powerful Pokémon!" "Are all Fighting Pokémon this cool?"

A feeling unlike any battle he had ever participated in before welled up from the bottom of his heart, causing the little blue dog to tense up and tremble involuntarily, even though his face remained expressionless.

Is fighting really such an exhilarating thing?

[The battle is over. Riolu thoroughly humiliated more than a dozen wild Pokémon. He is very satisfied with his Gene Drive and has unlocked the next level of power.]

[With increased gene-driven power, Riolu's Life Rotation stat has slightly decreased.]

What Blood Magnetic Field Gene? You think you can reward people with power just because you're excited after winning a battle?

Xia Ming scratched his head, not surprised by the decrease in horsepower. After all, Riolu had only just embarked on the path of power control, so it was normal that it couldn't immediately grasp the sudden increase in its stats.

The fact that genetic power can actually be honed and improved through combat feels rather strange...

Are they planning to stir up some kind of "hidden fighting race" thing?

Furthermore, is the reason why Shiba was able to fight Steelix simply because he had fought enough and was at a higher level?

It has to be said that Pokémon's physical attributes are indeed very outrageous.

The Zangoose and Rattata, who were knocked down by Riolu, only remained unconscious on the ground for a short while before quickly opening their eyes again.

Although he couldn't immediately participate in the next battle, he readily accepted the enemy's arrangements, much like a card player who had lost a fight, and obediently fled the scene.

"What a great battle! Even I couldn't help but feel excited."

Ultimately, as a powerful trainer, even though he had some reservations about Xia Ming's police uniform and the alliance behind him, Island King Hala couldn't say anything against his conscience and sincerely praised Xia Ming.

Immediately, just as he expected, an invitation was extended:

"Hey buddy, I see you've just arrived in the Alola region, right? How about trying out our unique Alola Island Tour?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xia Ming's expression inexplicably twist for a moment.

Of course, it wasn't a malicious, mocking, or disdainful expression; rather, it was one of surprise, realization, and eagerness.

The only thing that could surprise Xia Ming, who could easily avoid the challenge, was this ultimate fighting system that was as good as a dog and a donkey.

As if to prove that it was not one of those useless systems that was surpassed by its host, a new mission, completely different from its previous fixed form, shone brightly.

The mission is titled: 【Training Path! A Grand Serial】

This task seems to be a long-term, interconnected mission, but the reward for just the first task alone is enough to make Xia Ming unable to look away.

Reward: A comprehensive collection of modern martial arts

What you need is exactly what you get!

Book 1: Happy Little Ditto: Chapter 30 Damn it, the mortgage is still chasing me!

[Rejoice! Before you lies a comprehensive guide to modern combat techniques, compiled by numerous experienced martial artists!]

[It includes breakdowns of various punches such as jabs, straight punches, hooks, and continuous punches without breathing, encompassing the wisdom of various martial arts, including Chinese martial arts, boxing, karate, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu.]

Only those who can effectively utilize techniques can be called fighters; all others are merely mindless beasts tearing each other apart.

[Mission Requirements: Destroy the native strongmen of Melemele Island in the official battle]

【当前进度：一般系队长伊利马0/1，霸主猫鼬探长0/1，霸主拉达0/1，岛屿之王哈拉0/1】

Hmph, just as I thought.

Since the name is the Ultimate Combat System, the only areas involved are combat, but that's not the point. The point is the comprehensive collection of modern martial arts corresponding to the rewards.

This brings us to a question:

What is Wu?

Is it running ten kilometers every day, doing a hundred push-ups, and a hundred sit-ups? Is it a back-and-forth of energy exchanges, a clownish display of grappling and grappling? Or is it a face-to-face brawl of straight punches, with clownish takedowns and grappling techniques?

Martial arts are not something so simple!

The posture, the stance, the movements—everything was refined and honed bit by bit by our predecessors over decades or even centuries, through painful lessons learned from their own experiences.

Even Xia Ming only dared to give Riolu pointers on training strategies; she had to rely entirely on her instincts to perform the specific movements, because he knew that any deviation in posture or movement would have terrible consequences.

To give a very simple example...

Do you know how to properly clench your fist? Do you know how to properly kick your leg?

How can you generate power in a one-inch punch without injuring your hand bones? How can you generate power in a downward kick without losing your balance? (Scratch that...)

If Pokémon moves are about developing type energy, then martial arts represent the essence of "battle" itself.

If you can't fight without using techniques, then any so-called battle is nothing more than a child's game!

While some technologies suitable for humans may not be suitable for Pokémon, having such a self-contained system of experience as a reference makes it much easier to gradually find a path suitable for Pokémon.

So Xia Ming turned around and, instead of rashly challenging Island King Hala to a duel, said directly:

"I will definitely go on the island tour."

"But before that, I need to remind you of something."

"I hate conspiracy theories and dark theories, but I also respect the natural cycle of the ecosystem."

"I'm not interested in your conflicts with the League, so don't be so stubborn like an old man. You're a trainer, after all! Don't ruin my image of trainers. Think about it again, Rattata can easily become an overpopulation problem."

"Let's go, Riolu."

"The road has come."

Once back on their bicycles, Valkyrie and her Pokémon continued riding along Route 1, ignoring the comments from the onlookers.

The king of Melemele Island opened his squinted eyes, shook his head, and then gave a wry smile:

"It seems like I've been completely seen through... Are all the elite trainers in the League monsters?"

Bound by the responsibilities of being the island's king, the old man thought of his apprentice, Guzma.

That trainer, who should have had the chance to become a champion like Kukui, parted ways with his master under the setting sun and even founded a bastard organization like Team Skull.

The reason is Guzma's extreme aversion to and opposition to island pilgrimages.

Kukui, while still respecting himself, seems to have changed his mindset after challenging other leagues and champions in other regions.

how should I do it?

..............................

"Has the dispute between the meerkat and the rattata been resolved? Is the rattata population so large that there's a suspected rat infestation?"

"Okay, I understand. You've been a great help, senior. I'll notify the other officers to gather information right away. By the way, how was the bento?"

"Hehe, the cafeteria staff will definitely be happy."

After riding for more than three hours, I finally arrived at Lili Town at the top of the mountain. Along the way, I picked up a few idle wild trainers and battled them a couple of times.

Riolu showed no signs of fatigue, while Xia Ming was already panting and sweating.

Damn, who designed this bicycle anyway?

Why can't you just put a small battery in it and turn the handlebars to go forward? You have to pedal to get any acceleration. Do you know how tiring it is to ride up a long hill that's several kilometers long?

Of course, perhaps because maintaining the transformed state for a long time also brought some fatigue, this thing can't just eat wild berries to replenish its energy.

I've never heard of anyone staying up all night and not feeling tired just by drinking energy drinks. Otherwise, wouldn't those unscrupulous factories be exploiting their workers to death?

Xia Ming found a patch of grass in Lili Town and lay down for a while, enjoying the rare sunset, before he finally recovered.

After reporting the situation to the police station and eating some of the food from the lunchbox, I prepared to return the way I came.

This time it won't be so tiring. Going uphill is exhausting, but going downhill is exhilarating. You can just ride downhill without pedaling and feel the sea breeze blowing.

Along the way, we passed the place where the meerkat and Rattata had argued before. Now, the people are gone and the birds have flown away. It seems that such small incidents can happen anywhere and no one will pay special attention to them.

This kind of daily life is quite nice.

The bicycle came to an abrupt end when it passed Dr. Kukui's house by the beach.

"The road? (What's wrong?)"

Riolu made a sound of confusion.

Oh no, I forgot something important!

Xia Ming turned his head stiffly, hesitated for a moment, and then organized his thoughts:

"Um, how about you stay at Dr. Kukui's place again tonight?"

"Road? (For group chat li7u 8 jiu [Wu A Ba Lin (IV) zero negotiation 'What?))"

Riolu couldn't understand it.

I left her here yesterday so she could figure out the answer herself.

Didn't we already have formal training together today? My performance wasn't too bad, was it?

Besides, don't other Pokémon live with their trainers, sharing meals and lodging?

This is seriously wrong!

Xia Ming inwardly wailed.

He hadn't figured out how to tell Riolu his identity yet; he couldn't very well let Riolu come back to the breeding house with him, could he?

Imagine seeing your trainer suddenly turn into a Ditto and have to live off the petting zoo. Wouldn't that be incredibly unlucky?

Damn it, I've already traveled to the Pokémon world, and my housing problem is still chasing me!

　Ling#[Dream_First,+Send can only deal with it for now.

"Today is your first day at work, and the salary you received isn't enough to cover rent. Dr. Kukui's house is quite large, so you can stay there for the time being."

Riolu nodded in confusion as Xia Ming knocked on the professor's door.

Fortunately, Dr. Kukui was quite understanding and did not ask further questions or make excuses based on what Xia Ming had said earlier.

But since they had already formed a partnership, it was definitely not acceptable to eat and stay for free, so he had no choice but to reluctantly hand over half of his earnings for food.

Urgent!

I need help! Are there any ways to make quick money in the Pokémon world?

Or you could talk to the branch leader to see if the training course can be extended.

P.S.: The 10w is an advance payment for one day's training.

Book 1 The Happy Little Monster: Chapter 31 Young and penniless

On his way to the police station, Xia Ming deeply reflected on his mistakes.

Mingming had previously instructed the trainee that if she wanted to do something, she needed to have a clear goal and make practical preparations.

As a result, due to the overwhelming excitement of being transported to the Pokémon world (meaning to go crazy), and the many things that have happened in the past two days, some essential things have been overlooked.

Hmph, I suppose my overly comfortable life has blinded me.

This experience can certainly be applied next time.

Okay, I'll use it this time anyway, lol~.

In short, a basic necessity? Do you even understand what a basic necessity means?
