Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 569 Chrysanthemum's Gu Training Ground

Xia Bo explained his reasoning to Li Shuwen one by one regarding the questions Li Shuwen had just raised.

Li Shuwen took out a pen and carefully wrote it down in his notebook.

Blaine took a sip of juice. "Although Emboar and Blaziken are different, the methods for raising them from a fire attribute perspective are basically the same."

"If you want Blaziken to develop its internal flames and become intensely hot, then you haven't been exposed to enough Fire-type Pokémon."

"Spend more time with Fire-type Pokémon and experience hot environments like volcanoes, and you'll understand what Fire-type Pokémon truly need."

Li Shuwen suddenly realized that whether he was raising Blaziken or simulating Blaziken in the system, they had always stayed in an environment suitable for humans.

Even in the simulation, Li Shuwen's development of Blaziken's abilities was mediocre, lacking the unique flavor that fire-type abilities should have.

Blaine concluded, "Each attribute has its unique essence. Only by grasping that essence can you lead your Pokémon to the pinnacle."

"Experience more, study more. That old man Oak is very good at breeding multi-type Pokémon, and that's why."

"It made Oak want to study just how amazing the power contained in Pokémon really is."

Kikuko raised an eyebrow. "As a trainer, you can't be completely ignorant, but knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing either."

"Ōki has indeed become a renowned scholar, but how much of his former unparalleled talent in the Kanto region remains today?"

"Have you eaten enough? Let's go to the dock, take a boat to my lab, and prepare a potent poison for your Poison Skull Frog."

Blair waved his hand, "I won't go. I'll stay and continue cleaning up the remaining vengeful spirits."

Kikuko said calmly, "No, you have to go. If we don't leave, how will those vengeful spirits reveal any weaknesses?"

"This is their last chance to obtain the ghostly energy of the Bone Tower."

Xia Bo nodded and said, "Why would Kikuko suddenly suggest leaving to go see her lab while she's working?"

Kikuko is not the type of person who can't distinguish between public and private matters.

Kona asked, "What if we leave and the vengeful spirit succeeds?"

Kikuko revealed a cold smile, "That's perfect, then I won't have to bother refining the energy of the Spirit Bone Tower."

"You can use it right away."

The group traveled to the dock overnight and boarded Kikuko's private ferry to the uninhabited island laboratory.

Li Shuwen asked, "After we leave, won't the vengeful spirit seek revenge on Kikyo and her boyfriend?"

Kikuko said calmly, "Don't worry, I've already moved them away. Kikyo has fulfilled her duties as a priestess very well."

"She can retire peacefully and spend her life with her boyfriend. I helped her apply, and the league gave Kikyo the highest level of retirement benefits."

"Of course, if the alliance encounters any tricky vengeful spirit incidents, they can entrust the couple to handle them."

"I've also found them a way to make a living, and provided them with some fun in their boring lives."

Li Shuwen nodded. In the Pokémon world, Kikyo and Inuyasha changed their fate and lived a happy life.

The ferry traveled at sea for two and a half hours before arriving at the uninhabited island late at night.

Blair shuddered. "Every time I come to your deserted island, I feel a chill."

Kikuko let out a cackling laugh. "That's because I've stationed quite a few Ghost-type Pokémon guarding the island, of course."

Not long after arriving on the island, you can see clusters of eerie blue will-o'-the-wisps dancing up and down in the sky, which has a unique charm.

Li Shuwen nodded in appreciation, "Grandma Kiku, I didn't expect your Ghost Pokémon to be so good at dancing."

"As soon as we arrived on the island, they prepared a welcome performance for us."

Upon hearing Li Shuwen's words, the flickering will-o'-the-wisps suddenly froze in place.

Then it quickly dissipated.

Kikuko smiled and said, "That's just the troublemaker trying to scare you. Although the Ghost-type Pokémon I left here aren't particularly aggressive."

"But it's still very bad. Although it won't drain a person's life force, if someone breaks in, they won't mind scaring them away."

"And incidentally, absorb some of their life force."

When humans are gripped by fear, ghosts and ghost Pokémon can more easily absorb their life force.

Of course, even if you remain calm, they can still absorb it.

Make sure you're not under a spell, then run!

This is the only solution.

Kikuko spoke up, reminding me, "Besides the ghosts, this deserted island also has a large number of highly poisonous plants that I've cultivated."

"The Poison-type Pokémon that live on this island are also very aggressive, so please be careful."

Kikuko took out several bottles containing black pills from her pocket and distributed them to everyone.

"If you are poisoned, remember to take the antidote immediately."

On the arena, Elite Four members like Blaine, Lorelei, and Cynthia can easily crush the Poison-type Pokémon on the deserted island.

But on a deserted island, any Poison-type Pokémon could potentially kill them.

Everyone carefully put away the antidote. Li Shuwen looked at Juzi, "Grandma Juzi, where's mine?"

Why does everyone else have it, but he doesn't?

Kikuko smiled and said, "Since you've used highly toxic substances to temper the body of the Poison Skull Frog, I think you understand that highly toxic substances can also make your physique stronger."

"So, these poison-type Pokémon on my island won't kill you. On the contrary, they can stimulate your vitality. Being poisoned is like detoxification."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuwen's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Most importantly, the old woman can sense that with your skills, which are even better than Shiba's, it's impossible for these little guys on the island to be able to sneak up on you."

"I must ask you to go easy on them and not kill them."

Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Even with Agatha Christie leading the team, the Poison-type Pokémon on the deserted island still didn't take them seriously.

Hidden in the grass, among the trees, on the cliffs, they watched them with menacing eyes.

Blaine stretched his body a couple of times, then released a duck-billed fire dragon. "These guys are giving me the creeps. Kiku, how did you raise them?"

"Why do they seem like they even want to take a bite out of you?"

Li Shuwen frowned slightly. He felt that Kiku was no longer raising Poison-type Pokémon, but rather practicing Gu poison.

It's the kind of container where a bunch of highly poisonous insects are put in a pot.

Let them fight each other, and the last remaining poisonous insect will devour the body of the loser and produce a stronger toxin, which is called Gu!

Kikuko said calmly, "This is a technique I found in ancient texts for raising Poison-type Pokémon, and it works very well."

"Over the years, I have bred generation after generation of Poison-type Pokémon, and the ones I have are becoming more and more outstanding."

Sabrina frowned slightly, used her superpowers to control a serpent that had silently slithered over, and threw it far away.

Flying in the air, the fangs and tail blade of the serpent gleamed with a scarlet light, faintly emitting a foul stench.

Li Shuwen understood immediately; this really was Ju Zi's training ground for Gu poison.
