Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

Little Charmander's talent was very peculiar, not in terms of aptitude, but in its heaven-defying comprehension.

Yao Yifei had never seen such a special Little Charmander; even among the Shiny Pokémon, Little Charmander was relatively unique.

The battle was nearing its end.

The Squirtle, which had been sent flying, stopped in mid-air in a very strange manner.

"Now!"

"Boom!"

Bubbles surged forth, accurately hitting Onix's weak spot.

"Onn~"

Onix let out a miserable cry, its massive body crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lu Li also looked at the scene with some helplessness.

"Hopefully, this won't leave Onix with psychological trauma," Lu Li thought to himself.

After this battle, Lu Li had made a decision about Onix's role.

Whether it was the unevolved Onix, the evolved Steelix, or even the Mega-Evolved Steelix, they all had one characteristic.

That was their outrageous Physical Defense stat.

Therefore, Lu Li's positioning for Onix was as a Physical Defense Tank.

It's worth mentioning that Onix's ability was not a Hidden Ability but the regular Rock Head Ability.

The effect of the Rock Head Ability on Onix was that it wouldn't receive recoil damage from its own moves.

The biggest benefit this ability brought to Onix was that it allowed this heavy tank to have the ability to fire.

With Onix's massive size, coupled with the Rock Head Ability, there were very few Pokémon that could withstand Onix's Take Down.

Thinking of this, Lu Li used a Poké Ball to retrieve the heavily injured Onix.

Onix hadn't lost its ability to battle, but the battle was already over.

"You did very well, Onix," Lu Li said softly, holding the Poké Ball.

"You're really amazing. You caught Onix in the Qingyun City Secret Realm, right?" Yu Lili asked, looking at Lu Li with complicated emotions.

She realized that Lu Li was stronger than her even as a Trainer. Forget about command skills; as long as you lived long enough, your command skills would naturally improve.

Lu Li also sincerely praised, "Your command skills are also very impressive, almost the best I've seen among people your age."

Lu Li found that the command skills of those from influential families were higher than his. The only one who could be considered "evenly matched" with him was Li Zhi, the Rainbow Hero.

"Oh right, I haven't congratulated you on becoming an Elite-level Trainer yet," Yu Lili said, taking out a necklace from her pocket and handing it to Lu Li.

"This is a gift for you."

Yu Lili looked at Lu Li with hopeful eyes.

Facing the necklace that Yu Lili handed over, Lu Li smiled and accepted it.

"I really like this gift. I'll treasure it."

Yu Lili also smiled and then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, is Little Charmander still asleep?"

"Still sleeping."

Yu Lili comforted, "That's a good thing. My dad said that this state of Pokémon is something you can't ask for."

Yu Lili said playfully, "I remember it's been a long time since we trained together."

"Then together?" Lu Li invited, following her words.

A bright smile appeared on Yu Lili's face: "Together!"

"Me too!"

Baobao, who appeared between the two with a Teleport, shouted while raising her small hand.

This woman clearly has ulterior motives. Training together? Big brother hasn't even trained with me before.

Yu Lili looked at the sudden appearance of Baobao with frustration.

"This blue-haired girl is ruining my plans," Yu Lili cursed fiercely in her heart.

She finally had a chance to be alone with Lu Li, but it was forcibly ruined by this girl.

Yao Yifei, with her arms crossed, looked at the scene with amusement.

"Little Pudding has a lot of romantic debts," Yao Yifei thought to herself gleefully.

There was no need to say more about Ekaterina; that woman practically had "I want to eat young grass" written all over her face.

Qu Suxin's attitude was ambiguous. He himself probably wasn't interested in Lu Li, but there were many unmarried girls in the Qu family.

Yao Yifei didn't believe that the Fairy-type Champion would let go of an Idealist, nor did she believe that Qu Suxin's goodwill came without any price.

Yu Lili was even more obvious. This girl was practically acting like Lu Li's girlfriend, and there was also Wei.

From her perspective, well! Although she herself had never been in a relationship, she had acted in many movies about love, so she knew these things very well.

Wei's feelings for Lu Li could be said to be the most complicated, but there was definitely some affection in them, but neither of them had noticed it, or rather, they had deliberately ignored it.

As for Baobao, there was no need to say more. This little girl's possessiveness was practically out in the open.

Thinking of this, Yao Yifei shook her head helplessly. After thinking so much about other people's affairs, Yao Yifei also considered herself.

She did like this genius young man a little, but liking wasn't love, and Yao Yifei didn't know how the future would unfold.

Yao Yifei turned around and headed towards the pond in the backyard. He still had to teach Milotic and the others how to train.

Yu Lili was even busier than Yao Yifei. After staying in the villa for one night, she hurriedly prepared to leave the next morning, after all, her teacher had urged her several times.

After Yu Lili left, Lu Li, who was finally free from romantic entanglements, began his seclusion.

After all, such a large harvest had to be digested into usable resources.

In the basement, Lu Li looked at the unconscious Stellar Pokémon and sighed. Although the Stellar Pokémon's life source had been evolved, it might take a few more days for the Stellar Pokémon to wake up due to still adapting.

Little Charmander woke up last night and even learned a few new skills.

Yes, several!

First of all, there was Hellfire Abyss.

Hellfire Abyss: Envelops the opponent in flames to attack, inflicting a Burn.

As a Fire-type Special move, Hellfire Abyss's greatest advantage is that it's hard to defend against, because it has no startup animation, like setting fire to whoever you glare at.

Then there was Flare Blitz.

Flare Blitz: Covers the entire body in flames to attack the opponent, accumulating power to increase one's speed.

Flare Blitz is equivalent to a weakened version of Flame Charge. It's reasonable, even normal, for Little Charmander to have learned this skill this time; it would be abnormal if it hadn't.

After all, Little Charmander had already been able to use a weakened version of Flame Charge before.

Finally, there was the Overheat skill, a skill with great power but also significant side effects.

Almost every skill was related to the Fire-type, but the problem was that Ho-Oh released Life Dew at the time.

Thinking carefully, Lu Li realized that Tropius and Little Charmander had both learned skills that were off-topic.

Life Dew is a Water-type status move, but Tropius learned Grass-type Laws and several Grass-type skills, and Little Charmander found the direction of Fire-type Laws and several Fire-type skills.

Water-type is weak to Grass-type, and Fire-type is weak to Water-type.

Lu Li didn't know how to complain.

"Cough cough!"

Next to the alchemy furnace, Lu Li looked at the two little guys in front of him with a serious expression.

"Little Silver, Little Red, now is the time to test your teamwork," Lu Li said extremely seriously.

Little Charmander nodded with a serious face and then turned to call out to the Beldum next to him.

"Fire~"

(Little bro, cooperate with me later!)

"Ya~"

(Okay, Third Bro.)

"Fire~"

(Please call me Big Bro, thank you!)

"Ya?"

(Isn't Big Bro Tropius?)

"Fire…"

(He's Grass-type, I'm Fire-type, who do you think is Big Bro?)

"Ya~"

(Then he's Second Bro, after all, Milotic is Big Sis)

"Fire~"

(That's the Boss.)

"Ya~"

(Third Bro is lying.)

Lu Li: "…"

Bang~

A flick landed on Little Charmander's head, and Lu Li coldly retorted, "Little Red, don't dream. Little Milly doesn't like you."

"Fire~"

(Why?)

"Don't you know that water and fire are incompatible?" Lu Li asked back.

"Fire~"

(You're talking nonsense! The friend I met in the lava that day said that water and fire merge into lava.)

Lu Li: "…"

"Fire~"

(Trainer, do you understand the principle of not letting fertile water flow into other people's fields? The Boss and I are both noble Dragons; we should be a match made in heaven.)

Lu Li: "…"

"Then stop simping, you're siblings, do you believe I'll send you to the orthopedics department in the Dade Region?" Lu Li forcefully suppressed Little Charmander.

Lu Li felt that Little Charmander was definitely too idle and needed to be kept busy.

Lu Li directly announced, "Next, we'll make pills. You and Little Silver will make your own."

"Fire~"

(Can I make the Boss's Beauty Pill?)

Little Charmander didn't object but asked flatteringly.

Lu Li: "…"

"You really are a little simp," Lu Li said speechlessly, looking up at the ceiling, already too tired to complain.

Fortunately, this guy was simping for someone from his own family. If he was simping for someone else's, he would have to correct this guy properly today.

"Make pills properly. If the quality isn't high, you'll be the ones who suffer, and Little Milly is very picky and only eats high-quality Beauty Pills," Lu Li warned deliberately.

Little Charmander nodded confidently.

Since witnessing Ho-Oh's divine power, it had made progress in its Fire Manipulation ability. Little Charmander believed that it was no worse than the Trainer now.

"Fire~"

(Little bro, don't hold me back.)

Little Charmander also turned its head to warn.

"Ya~"

(Don't worry, definitely!)

"Fire~"

(Then let's start.)

"Rumble!!"

The sound of thunder rang out. Lu Li used Iron Defense to cover his entire body at a critical moment, thus avoiding the tragic consequences of being burned all over.

Due to the Flash Fire ability, Little Charmander was blown away by the explosion but didn't suffer any substantial damage.

However, Beldum was in a relatively miserable state. It was already doubly weak to Fire-type, and it was relatively close to the alchemy furnace, so Beldum almost lost its ability to battle on the spot.

"Little Charmander!!!"

Lu Li glared at Little Charmander, who was climbing up from the ground in a mess, with anger and anxiety, and then hurriedly ran to Beldum to check its injuries.

After confirming that Beldum had only lost its ability to battle, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After calling Chansey and entrusting Beldum to Chansey's care, Lu Li closed his eyes and looked at Little Charmander, waiting for Little Charmander's sophistry.

"Fire~"

(Trainer, I seem to be unclean.)

Little Charmander's tone was full of panic.

Lu Li: "???"

Seeing Little Charmander's expression of "I've been defiled," Lu Li was dumbfounded.

Lu Li couldn't care about being angry and hurriedly asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Fire~"

(There's something dirty in my flames.)

Little Charmander's laughter contained a bit of crying, and Lu Li became even more nervous after hearing this.

Lu Li hurriedly comforted, "Calm down first and tell me exactly what's going on."

"Fire~"

(Look.)

Little Charmander put its tail in front of Lu Li with a wronged expression.

Lu Li made hand seals and opened his Mystic Eyes, and finally saw clearly the mystery in Little Charmander's tail flame.

Little Charmander's tail flame was originally its life fire, but now this Little Charmander's tail flame had some strange things.

To be precise, it had an extremely unique divinity.

"This is…"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"Flames with Divine attribute?" Lu Li was also dumbfounded.

Although it only had a weak attribute, one thing was certain: Little Charmander should, possibly, probably, was about to take off again.

If this thing was placed in the world of cultivation, then it would be a spirit fire!

In the Pokémon world, this thing is called a special flame, and in Ho-Oh, this thing is called Sacred Fire.

"So… you just copied the Sacred Fire after watching Ho-Oh use a skill?" Lu Li was stunned.

You're so heaven-defying, what am I supposed to do as a cheater?

Although Little Charmander's current flame is not a true Sacred Fire, there was indeed some sacred effect in his flames, which was a kind of effect inclined to evolution.

"Wait, what if this thing is used in alchemy?" Lu Li's expression suddenly changed.

As a cultivator, the first thing that Lu Li thought of was not using this special flame for battle, but for alchemy.

For an alchemist, a special spirit fire is more precious than a top-grade cultivation technique.

"This is a good thing, don't be afraid," Lu Li comforted with a smile.

"Fire~"

(Trainer, don't trick me just because I'm young!)

"It's true."

Lu Li pretended to be angry and tapped Little Charmander's little head.

"Now you know you're young? You didn't think so when you were simping just now," Lu Li complained.

"Fire?"

(Really okay?)

Lu Li pretended to be in pain and said, "Something's wrong…"

"Fire~"

(What's wrong?)

Little Charmander looked at Lu Li nervously.

Lu Li: "It's a great thing."

"Fire~"

(Trainer, I'm going to fight you!)

The angry Little Charmander bit Lu Li's arm, of course, without any force.

Lu Li also cooperated by pretending to shout in pain, waving his arms constantly, trying to shake off the little fire dragon.

After playing around for a while, Lu Li finally instructed, "Don't refine pills for the next couple of days. Get familiar with this new flame. You can refine pills again when you're used to it."

"Huo~"

(Will the stuff inside my fire affect pill refining?)

Lu Li nodded seriously, "It will."

"Huo~"

(Ah!)

The little fire dragon looked at Lu Li nervously. Actually, it was quite interested in refining pills, mainly because it had a dream of becoming the Big Sister's sugar daddy.

"But it's a good thing," Lu Li added.

"Huo~"

(Trainer! I'm going to fight you again!)

The little fire dragon, tricked once more, pounced on him again.
