Chapter 648 My Great Curtain City is Full of Talents
After accepting Li Shuwen's shopping list, Aunt Mei spoke very directly:
"Your Uncle Ben and I have never had a child in our lives. Uncle Ben had a younger brother, but he and his wife died young."
"But we left behind one child. This child was very smart and wanted to become a Pokémon researcher like his parents, so we sent him to study at the Pokémon Research Academy."
"He studied for four years and had excellent grades, but he suddenly said that studying Pokémon was not something he liked to do, and he wanted to be a trainer."
"Your uncle feels bad, but Aunt May won't stand on ceremony with you. I'd like Parker to be an apprentice at your dojo for a while."
"With your knowledge and Midas touch, Parker's trainers can improve their performance."
"With Parker's skinny arms and legs, I'm really worried he'll get snatched up and eaten by a big wolfhound when he goes on a trip."
Li Shuwen blinked. Parker?
Uncle Ben and Aunt May actually have a nephew named Parker!
Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay, just have Parker go directly to the Veiled Gym to report for duty. I will personally guide him."
After buying the groceries, Li Shuwen went to Uncle Zhongying's blacksmith shop.
Uncle Tsukasa continued to leisurely forge iron.
Seeing Li Shuwen approach, Uncle Zhongying said calmly:
"What's wrong? Just won the dojo's top spot and feeling itchy to try your hand at weapons here?"
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I'd like to, but I've been busy lately and need to focus on the Veil Dojo matter first."
"Uncle Tsukasa, I remember you said that the eldest son and second daughter of the family that makes charcoal for the blacksmith shop are very talented."
"Spending their lives burning charcoal is a waste of their talent. Why don't you help them ask if they have any plans to become trainers?"
"The Veilwall Gym needs to increase its staff to cope with the ever-increasing number of challengers in the future. The Veilwall City Trainers Association also needs personnel from the Veilwall Gym to participate in its activities."
Uncle Tsukasa nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them if they're willing."
"Being an apprentice at your dojo will definitely lead to a brighter future than burning charcoal."
The profession of trainer requires so little investment that you can simply buy Poké Balls and food.
However, the investment required to raise and nurture Pokémon is also frighteningly high.
The Veil Dojo can only cover basic costs. If they have a little strength, these apprentices can go out and take on missions by virtue of their status as members of the Veil Dojo.
Even if their skills are average, the person who issues the task will still be willing to give it to them.
Because if they can't complete the task, they can call their senior brothers and sisters, or even their master Li Shuwen, with just one phone call.
Li Shuwen invited Uncle Zhongying to have dinner at the Curtain Dojo.
By the way, let's discuss the dragon scales I recently collected from Milton, Scalydra, and Golem.
The dragon scales, dragon teeth, and dragon claws collected on Misty Island can be used to forge a weapon of what kind?
You have to eat!
But the idea of creating a divine artifact really hit the nail on the head for Uncle Tsukasa.
"I'm packing my things, I'm leaving right away."
Upon arriving at the Veiled Dojo, Li Shuwen went to prepare the ingredients for dinner, while Uncle Tsukage observed the precious materials that Li Shuwen had brought back.
There are a great many Elite Four-level Dragon Pokémon on Misty Island.
After each battle, Li Shuwen would receive a few small bonus parts.
In the end, it became this pile of simple and unadorned materials in front of Uncle Tsukasa.
Uncle Tsukasa carefully sorted through the materials and quickly selected the suitable ones.
While Li Shuwen prepared the meal, Uncle Zhongying was still contemplating how to forge a divine weapon.
Li Shuwen said, "Uncle Zhongying, the food is ready."
Uncle Tsukasa opened his eyes. "Sometimes, too many good things become a burden. Oh well, what's done is done, let's eat first."
At the dinner table, Li Shuwen mentioned that they might have junior brothers or sisters joining them.
Li Fei's eyes lit up. "Brother Wen, I also want to take on apprentices."
Li Shuwen looked at him calmly, "You haven't even mastered the skills yourself, yet you want to take on apprentices? Aren't you afraid it will delay your own training?"
"Have you forgotten that Michael is still training in the Sinnoh region?"
Li Fei was stunned for a moment. After being nourished by the Midas Touch in recent months, Li Fei realized that he had indeed become a bit too arrogant.
It seems... and Mike wasn't even included.
Just like Mike, whom he used to hate the most.
Li Fei's eyes regained their calm. "Brother Wen is right. I was too arrogant. As for taking on disciples, let's talk about it after I defeat Mike and have the strength of a king."
After the meal, Uncle Tsukasa already had a draft in mind for creating the divine artifact.
"Shuwen, this divine artifact can only be forged by you personally. My age and physique are no longer sufficient to support the forging of such a divine artifact."
Uncle Tsukasa took out paper and pen and drew an exquisitely crafted greatsword on the paper.
The shaft is entwined with a relief of a blue dragon, spiraling upwards from tail to head. At the hilt, the dragon's head is wide open in anger, its whiskers flying, tightly gripping the base of the blade.
The blade is like a cold moon; even just on paper, its sharpness can be felt.
Uncle Tsukasa calculated for a moment, "This great sword needs to be forged on the night of the full moon. The full moon just passed this month, so we can only wait until next month."
"I'll go back and prepare first."
The next day, the thin Parker that Aunt May had mentioned arrived at the Veiled Gym.
Li Shuwen stared blankly at the young man in front of him, whose muscle strength even surpassed that of Akai.
In the Pokémon world, where would a spider come from that bite Puck?
Li Shuwen didn't want to ask that, so he asked, "Puck, what Pokémon do you have right now?"
Puck took out a Poké Ball and released a black spider.
"This is a round silk spider bred by a technology company using extraterrestrial meteorites for genetic screening, with the aim of enhancing the venom's effectiveness."
"Although the project ultimately failed, the orb-weaver spider was changed to black, and gained stronger venom abilities, as well as some superpowers."
"I call him affectionately, Venom."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Sure, you and Xinyue should have a lot in common."
New Moon was also very curious: Has technology advanced to such an extent that it can perform genetic screening on Pokémon?
In their village, artisans still make Pokémon items by hand. Isn't that a bit outdated?
Li Shuwen used his waveguide power to scan the body of the black round silk spider and found that this round silk spider was indeed extraordinary.
"Work hard, you have the potential to become superstars."
Parker was pleasantly surprised. "Yes, Master!"
The two siblings from the Charcoal Family, dressed simply, also arrived at the Veil Dojo in the afternoon.
The two siblings appeared very reserved when faced with Li Shuwen's scrutiny.
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, introduce yourself and your Pokémon."
The older brother spoke first, "My name is Tanjiro. I have a better sense of smell and can smell things that ordinary people can't."
Tanjiro's ability, if placed in a gourmet anime, would be like having a god-like nose, an extraordinary sense of smell.
Xinyue exclaimed with delight, "Then you can inherit all of Master's culinary skills!"
Tanjiro was taken aback. Wasn't he here to learn about trainers?
He continued with difficulty, "Okay, my Pokémon is a Gastly that I caught using my sense of smell."
The younger sister said, "My name is Nezuko. I'm good at making charcoal. The Pokémon was attracted to our house by the charcoal I make."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Our Great Curtain City is truly full of talented people."
