Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

pity.

On the day before the New Year, it was raining and snowing.

The people of Cerulean City were originally looking forward to participating in the celebrations on New Year's Eve.

The shops lining the street were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the roadside stalls began preparing as early as noon.

"It was fine at noon, but it started raining and snowing in the afternoon."

Ye Luo looked at the drizzling rain and snow under the parasol. As the last day of the new year, the weather was not very lucky.

Waiter: "The last day before the New Year had bad weather. Does that foreshadow something big happening next year? Your hot cocoa."

"Thanks."

The waiter placed the hot cocoa on the table. This trainer had been sitting there since noon, and Xiao Ruo kept wondering where he was from.

After all, most trainers wouldn't have a Gardevoir sitting next to them that looks like a model.

This group doesn't look like ordinary tourists.

Gardevoir, with its model-like presence, and its trainer, whose demeanor is also quite unique, make for a striking scene just sitting there, attracting the attention of other guests around them from time to time.

Xiao Ruo was convinced that this person was some kind of celebrity, and wondered if she should ask for an autograph.

No one recognized Ye Luo's true identity.

Ye Luo was a little nervous at this moment, but after Gardevoir said that everything should be fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

His current identity is the league champion of the Kanto region, and he has a fairly high profile in Kanto. The fact that he is not recognized shows that he has done a good job of disguising himself.

He was just wearing a hat, a scarf, and a light brown trench coat, and he looked like an ordinary person, which is exactly what he was.

However, people's eyes kept drifting over from time to time; Gardevoir was indeed too conspicuous.

Gardevoir sat gracefully in the chair, wearing an exquisite lace hat, which gave her a unique and beautiful appearance.

[I think it's not just because of me; Ye Luo is also getting attention.]

Why?

Perhaps because she noticed Gardevoir, she also noticed the trainer and became curious about the trainer sitting next to her.

Gardevoir smiled gracefully.

[Who could this seemingly gentle yet somewhat mysterious trainer be?]

Who was that? Ye Luo didn't recognize him.

The telepathic message was loaded with meaning, and Ye Luo just wanted to hold the hot cocoa to warm her hands.

Just as Meloetta was communicating telepathically with Gardevoir, the water level in the hot cocoa had dropped by half a cup, and Meloetta was secretly drinking her beverage.

To outsiders, their behavior was quite peculiar. Ye Luo barely spoke throughout, only glancing at his Pokémon. Gardevoir nodded in response, and then they remained silent.

In reality, Ye Luo was talking to Gardevoir, but he was simply too lazy to speak.

Gardevoir can use its psychic powers to sense what its trainer is thinking, and it can also use telepathy to transmit what it wants to say to Leafy's mind.

This way, there's no need for dialogue; you can simply communicate with it through your thoughts.

It looks like someone is calmly and silently sipping hot cocoa while having an encrypted conversation in their mind.

This is also a topic where trainers can hardly keep secrets, because whatever they think can be discovered.

Psychic-type Pokémon are therefore a very unique group. There are not as many trainers who train them as there are for normal types, and they often have unique personalities.

The most obvious example is Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City. She is a Gym Leader of Psychic-type Pokémon and is also a Psychic herself.

You should know that this world has Pokémon with magical powers, and some people are born with magical powers.

It's not a magic trick; Sabrina is born with an ability similar to the psychic powers of Pokémon.

According to Gardevoir, this is because some people are born with strong mental abilities.

[We've come to a topic I like; yes, some humans are born with exceptionally strong mental abilities.]

Gardevoir interrupted directly using telepathy, showing its interest in topics like mental training and improving strength.

Gardevoir explained, as if repeating a previous topic.

[Remember what I said? Spiritual power, mental power, resentment, and waveguides—they're all essentially the same thing.]

Ye Luo remembered, of course, and silently took a sip of hot cocoa.

Gardevoir sometimes teaches him lessons; these are all spiritual powers, just expressed in different ways.

The most obvious manifestation of mental power is in Psychic-type Pokémon, as Psychic-type moves originate from mental power.

Mental power is like another branch of the same tree, slightly different from spiritual power. It is more like an ability that originates from the heart, and it corresponds to the fairy attribute.

The Siberian Sharon can manipulate water flow through the power of its mind, and its release of mental power is very unique, achieved simply by singing.

Another type is resentment, which symbolizes natural power, and the power of Ghost-type Pokémon is often related to resentment.

However, Ye Luo believes that judging from Gardevoir's expression, it is not quite accurate to call it resentment.

The unwavering emotion, or rather, the obsession, is one of the reasons that drives the birth of Ghost-type Pokémon.

Some scholars believe that a puppy Pokémon, wanting to stay and take care of its owner, might be reborn as a Graveyard Dog and return to its original trainer. Although this is only a theoretical explanation, there are a few actual cases.

Gardevoir smiled and nodded as if she had heard a student answer a question correctly, and even reached out to touch Leaffall's hair.

My trainer is the best.

Xiao Ruo, a waitress serving tea to a customer, inadvertently glanced over and saw this scene. She was so surprised that she covered her mouth and couldn't speak.

A Pokémon patting its trainer's head is so heartwarming; I have to grab my phone and capture it.

But by the time Xiao Ruo took out her Rotom phone, it was too late to capture the fleeting moment, and she felt a pang of regret.

"What a pity... I wish I could have taken a picture of that scene and used it as wallpaper."

Ignoring the waiter who staggered back into the store, Ye Luo and Gardevoir continued their conversation about psychic powers.

[We've already mentioned three types; there's one more to come.]

Waveguide power is a rather special ability, and its special feature is that it needs to be acquired through training.

Gardevoir nodded.

[The ability to enhance one's abilities through continuous practice differs from the previous three types of power.]

A person's mental strength is predetermined from birth. For example, Sabrina was born with powerful superpowers; she only needed to learn how to use them later in life.

Half of one's spiritual power comes from nature, while the other half—the ability to feel emotions and use spiritual power—is something that takes time to gradually master. The method used by Sissi Hiren is to sing every day.

Resentment or obsession is present in all Ghost-type Pokémon, and most people cannot reach such a strong level of resentment. However, "inspiration" is a power that a very few people are born with, a power that is similar to a superpower. Trainers with strong inspiration are more likely to form friendships with Ghost-type Pokémon.

Aura requires the unified training of both mind and body, with a greater emphasis on the physical. It is learned through persistent training, so in addition to Psychic-type Pokémon, some Fighting-type Pokémon and even a very small number of people can learn to use Aura.

What interests Ye Luo is that these four abilities are not only manifested in Pokémon, but also in humans.

Superpowered individuals, martial artists, paranormal enthusiasts—some of these professions are simply unbelievable.

The humans in this world aren't actually that ordinary, but that balances things out.

Pokémon have magical powers, so it's not surprising that humans also have some magical powers.

Reading Ye Luo's thoughts, Gardevoir nodded with interest and smiled as she spoke telepathically.

[Should Ye Luo try training her waveguide skills? Given our compatibility, with proper training, she should be able to sense the waveguide too.]

"I refuse."

Ye Luo had no intention of improving his mental strength or becoming a wave guide user.

What a pity.

Gardevoir lowered its head, thinking this was a great opportunity to play with its trainer.

[The waveguide of fallen leaves is actually quite unique.]

Ye Luo was a little puzzled, so he asked.

How special is it?

Gardevoir smiled, took a sip of hot cocoa, and explained telepathically.

[A gentle aura, carrying a touch of tranquil sweetness; I quite like Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon; remember not to cheat!]

Why do you describe it like it's candy?
