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

Chapter 6 Training and Breakfast

After coaxing his younger sister back to sleep, Li Shuwen also went back to sleep.

The next morning, at six o'clock, Li Shuwen's biological clock woke him up on time.

The first thing I do when I get up is take Xinlinbao for morning exercise.

"Heartscale Treasure, Dragon Dance!"

The first dance took 1.53 seconds to 1.50 seconds.

Is it really true that the Dragon affinity boost is showing results so quickly?

"Heartscale Baby, one more time!"

The second dance took 1.42 seconds to 1.37 seconds.

The third dance, from 1.37 seconds to 1.30 seconds.

The fourth dance, from 1.34 seconds to 1.24 seconds.

The final Dragon Dance, from 1.30 seconds to 1.18 seconds.

If Xinlinbao can continue to improve at this rate, Li Shuwen is confident that he can reduce the time it takes for Xinlinbao to use Dragon Dance for the first time to less than one second.

Oh, and Steelix's tail too.

This natural weight-bearing training tool also helps the growth of the Heartscale Baby.

Using Steelix's tail, it might not take more than six months.

"Heartscale Treasure, use Iron Wall."

A metallic gleam flashed across Xinlinbao's body.

Li Shuwen glanced at the stopwatch; it read 1.41 seconds.

"Heartscale Baby, come with me."

Li Shuwen took the Heartscale Treasure to the storage room and handed it to the Great Steel Serpent.

"Try this."

Heartscale caught Steelix's tail with its back, and its body suddenly sank down.

He never expected that such a small tail, which his owner could easily lift, would be so heavy.

The Steelix's tail emitted a faint black light as it merged into Heartscale's body.

Sure enough, the tail of this giant steel snake is the unfinished product of the item rewarded by the system, the Tail of the Back Attack...?

"Heartscale Treasure, use Iron Wall again."

This time, the speed at which Xinlinbao's body flashed with metallic light was much slower.

2.21 seconds, which is almost half the speed of use.

"Heartscale Treasure, besides the slower skill usage speed, can you feel the weight of this item?"

Xinlinbao took two steps, nodded, and said, "Xinling!"

"Very good. From now on, wear this weighted gear during training and try to wear it during daily activities as well, and restore your speed to the level before you started using the gear."

Xinlinbao's expression was very serious. "Xinling!"

As Li Shuwen's Pokémon for eight years, Jangmo-o keenly sensed some subtle changes in its owner today.

Besides becoming more handsome and having a better temperament, Xinlinbao felt that his owner gave him a very comfortable and close feeling today.

Moreover, the Dragon Dance I used just now went even more smoothly than yesterday.

Dragon Dance, oh Dragon Dance, Heartscale Treasure trained for four whole years.

It's so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.

In the past, a whole month's worth of progress wasn't as significant as what I've made in a single day.

Xinlinbao knew very well that she had not changed at all from yesterday to today.

Therefore, what caused the progress must have been some kind of change in Li Shuwen that he was unaware of.

Li Shuwen touched the heart-shaped scale on Xinlinbao's head.

"From now on, our lives will get better and better. We'll try our best to evolve you into a Scaled Dragon within a year!"

Xinlinbao nodded vigorously, believing that his master could definitely do it.

"Cyndi!"

Having trained his lung capacity and high notes since childhood, Xinlinbao can shout very loudly.

Li Shuwen clenched his fist tightly, swung his arm, and shouted, "Very good, very spirited!"

Only with this kind of spirit can we evolve!

"Let's go out and continue training."

After Heartscale Treasure acquired the Tail of Back Attack, the training that originally took one hour was extended to two hours.

Li Meining came out rubbing her stomach. "Brother, when are we having breakfast? My stomach is growling."

Riolu nodded in agreement.

Although he had specially prepared Pokémon food by Li Shuwen, Li Meining had already poured a full bowl for Riolu after getting up.

He was full, but Li Meining was still hungry.

"I'll do it right away. Wait for me to get the training equipment back."

Li Shuwen was about to pick up the tail of the Heartscale Treasure that had been released onto the ground and put it back in the storage room.

Li Meining stepped forward, grabbed the tail of the attacking man with one hand, and even bounced it around.

"It's quite heavy. I'll take care of putting the props away. You go cook, bro."

Li Shuwen shook his head. The back of his attack, which he could only lift with both hands, Li Meining could pick up with one hand and even toss it up.

She really is a girl with superhuman strength.

"it is good."

Li Meining asked Li Shuwen to make breakfast, which was actually the result of Li Shuwen's strict requirements.

On that occasion, Li Meining had a sudden inspiration and decided to make breakfast for Li Shuwen, which almost caused the kitchen to explode.

From then on, Li Meining was forbidden from entering the kitchen alone.

Li Shuwen entered the kitchen, first washing the tomatoes and lettuce, and setting them aside for later use.

Li Shuwen then took out eggs, flour, milk, and salt to make a batter, sprayed a thin layer of oil into a frying pan, and lit the fire.

A spoonful of batter, spread into a thin pancake, and fried until golden brown on both sides, exuding a wheat aroma that makes even the neighbor's kids drool.

Oh, I forgot, there's no one next door, only the Veil Dojo.

Li Meining was the only one who was so tempted that she cried, tears streaming down her face.

A large bowl of batter yields ten pancakes.

Spray a thin layer of oil on top again, then stuff the large pieces of bacon inside.

As the bacon heats up, the fat begins to seep out, making a soft sizzling sound. As the edges of the bacon curl slightly, its color changes from pink to golden yellow, releasing a rich smoky aroma.

Slice the tomatoes, place lettuce, tomato slices, and a bunch of bacon on a pancake, roll it up, and put it in parchment paper.

"Come and eat."

Li Meining immediately rushed into the kitchen, took the scallion pancake, and started eating it in big bites.

Li Shuwen continued frying the bacon. When the second batch of bacon was golden brown and fragrant, Li Meining, under Li Shuwen's watchful gaze, slowly finished her first scallion pancake.

Li Shuwen rolled up the second roll, put it in oiled paper, and handed it to Li Meining.

Li Meining, however, held it to Li Shuwen's lips, saying, "Brother, you eat too."

Li Shuwen took a bite. The golden, crispy crust made a light "crunch" sound as her teeth squeezed it. The faint aroma of milk and egg melted instantly in Li Shuwen's mouth, bringing a gentle sense of satisfaction.

That was it; with one bite, Li Shuwen had taken a bite of the pancake.

"Li Meining! You need to eat a balanced diet. You can't skip noodles and only eat meat."

"Okay."

Li Meining gave the pancake to Li Shuwen not because of her love for her brother, but simply because she only liked to eat meat and didn't like to eat rice.

Of the ten pancakes, Li Meining ate eight, while Li Shuwen only ate two.

I used to be full after eating two pancakes, but today I only feel half full.

Li Shuwen, out of habit, prepared this much flour.

Forgetting that I've been completely transformed, I prepared the same amount as before, and it wasn't enough to eat.

I had to remix the batter and make three more pancakes, which I ate all of, and I didn't feel bloated at all.

Li Meining stared wide-eyed as he finished eating five pancakes. "Brother ate five pancakes in one go today! It seems the training is really working. I knew it! Brother secretly evolved behind my back!"

Li Shuwen roughly rubbed her head, "Only Pokémon can evolve, that's why you don't study hard!"

Li Meining quickly begged for forgiveness, "I know I was wrong! I will definitely study hard from now on!!"
