Path of the Elven Master

Early the next morning, while Song Lina was preparing breakfast, Ding Zhi released all the elves and let them get to know the new Charmander.

"Everyone, come out."

Ding Zhi pointed at Lucario and introduced to Charmander: "You saw Pikachu and Rock Snake yesterday. This is Lucario."

"Wow!"

Charmander waved friendly to Lucario, and Lucario nodded towards it, and then looked at Ding Zhi, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"(Master, I have seen what happened yesterday. As I said bluntly, what you did was not appropriate.)" After hesitating for a while, Lucario finally spoke.

"What?" Ding Zhi said a little strangely. In his impression, Lucario should not be a pacifist.

"(Fighting should be left to us elves, your responsibility is to direct the battle.)"

Lucario's tone was serious when he said this, and the other elves on the side kept nodding, obviously agreeing with Lucario's statement.

This is the deep-rooted thought of the elves. Since ancient times, humans have driven them to fight, and this has been passed down from generation to generation in their genes.

Ding Zhi was stunned for a moment, then patted Lucario on the shoulder: "You have to hit someone personally to vent your anger. Just like if you lose the battle, even if I send Pikachu to help you avenge you, you will still feel unhappy. Right?"

Hearing this, Lucario nodded thoughtfully, and at this time Song Lina's breakfast was finally finished.

"I say, Master Ding Zhi, don't be busy teaching your disciples. Come and have something to eat." Song Lina greeted with a smile.

"Let's go everyone."

Ding Zhi decisively ignored Song Lina's teasing and sat down at the table with a group of elves.

Song Lina makes the Western-style breakfast she is good at, including sandwiches, fried eggs and milk. She prepares Pokémon osmanthus cakes of various flavors for the elves.

"Charmander, come and try this."

Song Lina handed it a fiery red osmanthus cake and said with a smile: "This is the super spicy flavor that fire elves like. I think you will also like it."

"woo"

Charmander took a whiff of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, then swallowed it in one mouthful, and immediately screamed with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied.

"You like it, that's great."

Seeing Charmander eating so happily, Song Lina couldn't help but have a sweet smile on her face. She liked the food she made most to be praised.

The two cleaned up the mess on the table and set off towards Tianyuan City again, passing Azure Beach along the way.

The golden beach and the endless sea immediately attracted the attention of Song Lina and Pikachu.

"Wow! Ding Zhi, look, what a beautiful sea!" Song Lina said excitedly.

But Ding Zhi frowned and said nothing. The sea reminded him of some bad memories.

"How about we have lunch here? It's best to stay here for a few days. It's really beautiful here." Song Lina suggested enthusiastically.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu immediately raised his hands in approval. Although it is not a water elf, it also likes the magnificent sea very much.

"Okay, since I like her so much, let's stay for a few days." Ding Zhi said helplessly. Song Lina rarely made requests and always paid silently, so it was hard for him to refuse.

Moreover, this place is quite suitable for special training for the elves. After the two found a dry place to set up the tent, they released the remaining elves.

Not to mention Lucario, even the naughty panda, Charmander and Big Rock Snake were staring intently at the sea, obviously fascinated.

"You actually like it too? Aren't you afraid of water?" Ding Zhi said speechlessly. He originally thought that these three guys would be on the same side as him.

"You don't understand this."

Looking at the sea, Song Lina showed a hint of intoxication: "Just looking at this vast sea, it seems that my mind is broad. No one will hate it."

"Pickup pickup."

Pikachu folded his hands on his chest, and the old god nodded. The other elves also agreed with this statement. Although they were a little afraid of water, they all liked the majesty of the sea.

What a shame, I hate it so much.

Ding Zhi cursed in his heart and was too lazy to talk to them. He began to discuss the contents of the special training with the system in his mind.

"Help me develop a training method suitable for Charmander, and find out if there are any experts in this field."

"Master, the best place to train Charizard is the Charizard Valley. That kind of training needs to match the unique terrain there. However, I saw an ancient method of training Charizards from your father, and there are other people who train fire elements. I'll help you integrate the elf's method, and combine it with your Charmander's destined training method. Do you want to transfer it?"

As the saying goes, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, especially in the time when wars often occurred hundreds of years ago. People raised elves for the purpose of fighting, and spent all their time thinking about how to make the elves stronger.

Unlike modern times, although there are a lot of trainers, they are far behind compared to ancient times. Most modern people regard elves as pets and companions, and a large number of people even cannot bear to let their elves fight.

The two sides have different understandings of elves, and the results are naturally different. This is a difference of the times.

"Then teleport."

"Understood, transmitting... please wait."

After a while, a video appeared in Ding Zhi's mind. It was similar to the previous clip of watching Ya Lang, but this time the scene was much larger, and there was only one protagonist. However, the training subjects were all Charmanders, Fire Dinosaurs, Charizard.

Ding Zhi first carefully watched the Charmander part several times, and then he was ready to start training.

"Charmander, you and Lucario form a pair. Your task is to practice increasing the concentration of the flames ejected, so as to learn to explode the flames. Lucario, you use the waveguide to avoid it as much as possible."

"Wow!"

"(clear!)"

The two elves responded solemnly and stood on the beach to start practicing.

Small fire dragons that are not very skilled often need to condense for a long time to form a small fire ball with high concentration.

However, Lucario is the one with the best temper among Ding Zhi's team. Instead of urging or laughing at Charmander, he often encourages it with words.

Looking at the two elves living in harmony, Ding Zhi nodded with satisfaction, but when he saw the combination on the other side, his face immediately dropped.

That was Pikachu and Rock Snake. They were bored and started sparring with each other. However, because Ding Zhi used Pilukario to defeat Rock Snake, and Pikachu was there at that time, Rock Snake always looked down upon Pikachu.

The two guys fought with great force, turning the entire beach upside down. Pikachu would also play tricks from time to time. When he saw that he couldn't beat each other, he would dive into the sea and make the big rock snake half to death.

God knows when Pi Shen learned to swim, but Ding Zhi never taught it.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Charmander's talent was already extremely high. In this short period of time, he had mastered explosive flames, and Ding Zhi also used ancient training methods to train it.

However, some of these training methods are very cruel, and they are completely designed to train elves into war machines. Ding Zhi decisively eliminated this part of the content.

All he wants is a reliable companion, not a machine that only follows orders.

……

Tianyuan City.

After several weeks of long journey, Ding Zhi and Song Lina came to this port city. Although the city is small, the shipping industry is very developed, and sailors can be seen everywhere resting on the shore.

The two first came to the Pokémon Center, preparing to restore the Pokémon's physical strength before heading to the gym to challenge.

However, after entering the center, they found injured elves lying everywhere, and all of them were seriously injured, with traces of electric scorch on their bodies.

"poor thing."

Song Lina's sympathy suddenly overflowed and she asked Miss Elf: "What's wrong with these children?"

"Everyone was defeated by Ma Yuan from the gym." Miss Elf replied while receiving their Elf Recovery.

"He...he is so powerful."

Song Lina's beautiful eyes flashed with worry, and she quietly glanced at Ding Zhi, who had a nonchalant expression on the side.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Ding Zhi noticed her gaze, looked a little weird, and said, "Do you think I will be like these ignorant brats and challenge a powerful enemy rashly?"

Upon hearing this, the trainers accompanying him in the ward glared at Ding Zhi, but Ding Zhi did not feel that he was wrong.

These seriously injured elves are all Rattata, Walking Grass and the like, and have not received any training. It is the trainer's own responsibility to blindly challenge the gym with such elves.
