Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

Zhang Long pointed to the forest nearby.

"Isn't that a thing?"

Damn, just chop it right now, do you want to spend the rest of my life in jail? I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail.

"It's okay. The league allows trainers to cut down trees under certain conditions. Don't be nervous."

Zhuang Yan seemed to know what Su Yuan was worried about. He patted his shoulder to comfort him, then threw out the Poké Ball.

"Go Aledo! Use Cleave!"

"road!"

With one skillful move, Alakazam chopped down a tall straight tree. It was obvious from his skillful technique that he had done this many times.

"Okay, then let's help too, Da Wang Yan!"

Zhang Long released the king swallow and happily joined the logging work.

When Su Yuan turned around, Charizard and Rhyno had already dragged the logs one by one to the nearest river bank.

"Su Yuan, don't just stand there. Let your Boscodora come and help. Its big claws are perfect for cutting templates."

Chapter 145, Sailing, the Inner Demon of the Lotus Leaf Boy?

On the broad river, a brand new wooden ship was floating downstream. Su Yuan stood on the boat and seemed to have not figured out what he had been doing during this period of time.

The three of them were originally excited to set off in the afternoon, but not long after they left the city, Zhang Long's decision to take a boat to South Vietnam forced them to start building a boat on the spot.

Shipbuilding is a major project that takes several days once work begins.

They were clearly in a hurry, but they ended up building a temporary shipyard on the river bank.

Under the command of a group of Pokémon and Su Yuan and the other two, they actually built a double-decker barge.

I can only say that it’s awesome to have the help of Pokémon.

Under the sharp claws of Boskodora, a thick log was turned into neat wooden boards in just a few seconds, and these boards were quickly dried and shaped under the flames of Charizard.

Because the UP teaching method was to build an ancient Donghuang building ship, and the hull frame was fixed entirely by mortise and tenon structure, without even many nails.

"Hahahaha, set sail! My goal is to become the Pirate King!"

Zhang Long stood on the bow and laughed out loud.

Zhuang Yan was in charge of steering the ship and controlling its direction.

Although there were only three of them on the boat, the equipment was quite complete.

Zhang Long's Swamp King and Lotus Leaf Boy were responsible for clearing the way underwater, while King Yan and Zhuang Yan's Cross-shaped Bats were responsible for patrolling in the air, and even sailors and lifeguards were arranged.

This way, they would be fine even if something went wrong with the ship.

"I'm not dreaming and I haven't woken up yet!"

Looking at the sparkling river surface and the ship breaking through the wind and waves, Su Yuan felt a little unbelievable.

Four people and a group of Pokémon built a fully functional ship in just a few days. This was unthinkable in the past.

"Su Yuan, I thought of something fun, let's have a fight!"

Zhang Long suddenly ran over excitedly and started to fight.

"Fuck, are you crazy? Fighting on this ship? Do you want to tear this ship apart?"

"No, let me have a battle in the water!"

Su Yuan frowned, looked at the surging river, and then looked at his thick coat.

It's still spring, not even early spring yet, are you going swimming in the water?

This is flowing river water, and the temperature of the water is completely different from the calm lake water during the previous assessment.

"Forget it. If you want to be a winter swimming freak, go by yourself. Don't drag me along. I'm afraid of the cold."

"No, I mean, let your Magikarp and my Lily Pad Boy have another fight in the water."

Zhang Long said with some excitement.

"I can feel that my Lotus Leaf Boy is ready. As long as he fights your Gyarados again, no matter if he wins or loses, as long as he overcomes his inner demons, he will be able to evolve into a Lotte Kappa!"

Su Yuan tilted his head and slowly typed a question mark.

"Did Lilypad Boy tell you all this? Didn't Gyarados become Lilypad Boy's inner demon at some point? And wasn't Lilypad Boy's evolution completed through the Water Stone? Does it have anything to do with inner demons?"

"Yes, this is what I sensed from the Lotus Leaf Child these past two days. It is a manifestation of the bond between me and the Lotus Leaf Child."

"I you!"

Su Yuan was a little overwhelmed. He felt that Zhang Long seemed to have let himself go after leaving school. He was just a hot-blooded idiot before, but now he started talking nonsense.

"I think what Zhang Long meant was that during the previous battle against the tower, your Gyarados caused a psychological trauma to his Lotus Leaf Child, so that it could not accept the power of the Water Stone and complete its evolution."

Zhuang Yan leaned out of the cockpit and spoke to the two people outside the window.

"Yes, that's it!"

Su Yuan scratched his head in confusion and asked curiously.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, how did you know?"

Zhuang Yan smiled.

"Aledo has encountered something like this before. At that time, it hadn't evolved yet, and it encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, which left a trauma on its face. As a result, it was unable to complete the evolution even with the Awakening Stone that I had finally found for it."

"Is there such a thing?"

Su Yuan scratched his head and felt it was a little magical.

"These are all real things that happened. Pokémon are magical creatures, and they are full of unknown mysteries."

Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

"Some Pokémon will resist evolution for some reasons, while some Pokémon will evolve early for other reasons. The reasons for these phenomena include natural conditions and artificial conditions.

All we trainers can do is to help Pokémon as much as possible. After all, only when trainers and Pokémon are united can their power be fully exerted.”

"That's right, so for the sake of the little lotus leaf boy, please fight with me, Su Yuan!"

Su Yuan thought about it and finally nodded.

"I understand, but I won't let you go!"

"In the end, only a calm and all-out fight can help the little lotus leaf boy get rid of his inner demons."

The two came to the side of the boat and raised the Poké Ball towards the river.

"Go ahead, Lotus Leaf Boy!"

"Go Magikarp!"

Two beams of light were released from the Poké Ball and landed on the surface of the river.

"Gah!"

The lotus leaf boy fell into the water and quickly locked onto another beam of light falling not far away.

Another beam of light fell into the water, and a golden Magikarp emerged.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~!”

The Magikarp that fell into the water spit out a series of bubbles. Its round eyes were full of wisdom, and it didn't look like the ferocious Gyarados at all.

"Gah!"

However, just as the lotus leaf boy locked onto Magikarp, Magikarp's eyes became sharp.

"Roar~!"

A roar was heard, and a huge creature emerged from the water.

The blood-red Gyarados stood up in the water and demonstrated to everyone what it meant to be a dragon emerging from the water.

A pair of ferocious eyes looked at the little boy with lotus leaves, and suddenly the ferocious look became even more vicious.

Oh my god, it's you again, little brat. Last time, it was because of you that I got beaten up by that outrageous Haunter. Now you're here again, right?

But after learning from the previous lesson, Gyarados became much more obedient this time. Without Su Yuan, it just stayed where it was and did not take any action.

But even so, the little boy with lotus leaves was still afraid. After all, the Gyarados in the water was much more oppressive than the Gyarados on the shore.

Zhang Long saw the fear in the lotus leaf boy's eyes and immediately encouraged him loudly.

"Don't be afraid, little lotus leaf boy. Cheer up and overcome the fear in your heart!"

"Gah!"

The lotus leaf boy muttered something, but finally mustered up the courage.

There are some things that if you don't face them bravely, then perhaps you will live in fear forever.

Chapter 146, Evolution, Gyarados and Lotte Kappa

Seeing that the little boy with lotus leaves had rekindled his courage to fight, Zhang Long was also full of confidence.

"Good job, Lotus Leaf Boy, use the high-five surprise attack!"

"Gah!"

The lotus leaf boy flashed and clapped his hands at Gyarados in a surprise attack.

Gyarados was also hit accurately by this sudden attack, and the additional effect was activated, causing Gyarados's movements to become stiff.

"Good job, use Shoot Down next!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Gyarados was stiff, Lotus Leaf Boy launched another move to slap it down.

Evil energy gathered, and as the lotus leaf boy waved his hand, a palm materialized by energy slapped towards Gyarados.

"Gyarados, Ice Fang!"

"Roar!"

Gyarados roared, twisted its huge body in the water, and bit the lotus leaf boy with its ice fangs.

"Kang Chi!"

The Ice Fang bit the palm, and the palm shattered in an instant.

Seeing his attack being easily crushed, the lotus leaf boy showed a look of horror on his face.

Zhang Long immediately encouraged.

"It's okay, little lotus leaf boy, let's try again and use the ultimate absorption!"

When facing a Gyarados that has both water and flying attributes, using grass-type moves may not be able to restrain it, but at least it will not be resisted.

"Gah!"

The lotus leaf boy regained his spirits, and the lotus leaf hat on his head emitted a faint green light. The grass energy was activated, and an ultimate absorption attack was launched at Gyarados.

"Roar~!"

After being attacked by the Lotus Leaf Boy, Gyarados twisted its body uneasily. It really wanted to rush up and tear this green guy into pieces.

"Gyarados."

Su Yuan called out to Gyarados, and after hearing Su Yuan's voice, Gyarados calmed down a little.

Su Yuan also saw through Gyarados's violent thoughts. After all, Gyarados has always been a symbol of violence and cruelty.

Although this big guy is a bit ferocious, it has become much more obedient after being taught a lesson by Haunter.

However, Su Yuan also understood that the relationship between Pokémon and trainers is mutual. You can't just make demands on Pokémon. Sometimes you also have to listen and understand what Pokémon want.

"Go Gyarados, attack, use Bite!"
