Pokémon Farm

Chapter 175 Three Conditions

After the battle ended, out of humanitarian considerations, Xuan Mingtian had Little Cutie activate a healing wave to alleviate the damage Monster Power had suffered from the removal of its restrictions.

"Young Master Xuan, thank you for healing my superhuman strength. I previously thought you were able to defeat the leader because of your family's spirits, and I apologize for that."

When the Viper Instructor heard that the other party had asked a Pokémon to heal Might, even if it couldn't completely cure the aftereffects, a basic expression of gratitude was still necessary.

"Haha, this is nothing. After all, you've shown Potian that there are always higher levels out there."

As Xuan Mingtian took a sip of milk tea, he smacked his lips and then turned his gaze to Po Tian, ​​who was relaxing.

"Potian, I'm very dissatisfied with this battle. You were a bit too careless. You should know that when facing a melee Pokémon, you should kite it if possible. When facing a Pokémon that excels at ranged attacks, you must close the distance and knock it unconscious with lightning speed."

However, when these words reached everyone's ears, they were all stunned. They could understand what the other words meant, but what did this have to do with flying kites?

"Young Master Xuan, what exactly is the meaning of this kite-flying? Is it to let the Pokémon fly kites for a while during the battle to liven things up?"

Banmu couldn't help but ask for the general meaning of the word. This made Xuan Mingtian feel that, having been reborn into this world, he couldn't find a single like-minded person to talk to: "Are you stupid?", "Silly," or similar expressions.

"In my view, flying a kite can be represented by an extreme tug-of-war. Maintaining a certain distance between opponents, like in the battle just now, allows Potian to use his advantages to engage in a tug-of-war with the monstrous strength, exhausting the opponent's stamina to achieve victory."

After Xuan Mingtian's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that Lao Liu's behavior could be described as flying a kite.

But if you use the "kiting" tactic in every match, aren't you afraid of getting a sack thrown at you on the street?

"Mantis ~ Flying Mantis": Wow, is this really a good idea? I feel like this tactic is detrimental to the warrior's style, isn't it?

Upon receiving the telepathic message from the humanoid translator, Little Cutie, Xuan Mingtian nearly spat out the milk tea he was drinking.

I'm really impressed by this mantis now. Before its strength has reached the required level, it's actually thinking about the conduct of a warrior, something Xuan Mingtian never considered.

"Alright, let's change our strategy now. From now on, in every battle, kite whenever possible, and if that's not possible, just do what you think is best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Viper raised his right hand like a schoolchild, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

"Hmm, do you have any other questions?"

"Young Master Xuan, isn't it a bit too frivolous to let your spirit do whatever it wants in battle?"

"What do you mean by child's play? Let me tell you. If you want to become a qualified Pokémon, if you want to become a powerful Pokémon, you must learn to train yourself and know how to fight."

After moistening his mouth with milk tea, Xuan Mingtian continued speaking in a clear voice.

"You can't rely on the trainer's commands for everything. What if you suddenly have a cold, heart disease, brain hypoxia, numbness in your mouth, or other symptoms during a battle? This can easily affect the trainer's commands, and in severe cases, it could even lead to losing the battle."

This left everyone completely bewildered, in a state of semi-confusion. While there wasn't much wrong with what was said, why did it bring up the topic of the Pokémon training themselves again?

"Young Master Xuan, what steps or prerequisites are needed to teach a spirit to battle on its own?"

"Since you all have such a great thirst for knowledge, then I'll reluctantly tell you. The first essential element is: to possess unparalleled observational skills. Second: to be familiar with all Pokémon. Third: to train relentlessly."

After Xuan Mingtian finished explaining the three simplest elements, the Team Rocket members, including Giovanni, immediately felt an urge to beat him up. Fortunately, their good manners kept them all quiet and didn't discuss the topic.

Because these three elements are the simplest methods that can be learned in Pokémon battles. Therefore, these words are meaningless to them.

"Gym Leader Giovanni, let's talk about the Pokémon issue another time. The most important thing right now is, if I agree to support Team Rocket, what will I get in return, and what will you give in return?"

Xuan Mingtian's tone shifted from calm to serious. No matter how wealthy he was, or how powerful his family was, he still needed to carefully consider matters concerning his own interests.

I can't just agree to something so easily; what's the difference between that and working for free?

Upon hearing this, Itagaki fell into deep thought. His brain's CPU was working at high speed, rapidly calculating the most reasonable solution.

After all, this concerns the Rockets' future development, as well as the hidden intentions of the Xuan family. At least for the next 30 years, as long as the Xuan family doesn't openly break with the league, they cannot reveal any information about cooperation or support.

Otherwise, he believed Regigigas wouldn't even need to intervene. The four Champion-level Guardian Pokémon from the Xuan family alone could wipe out several Team Rocket teams. This was a losing proposition; a slight misstep could lead to the entire team's annihilation. It was like an ancient proverb: "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger."

After 10 minutes of deliberation, Banmu finally came up with two solutions. These were solutions he and the Rockets' management came up with together, but the final decision rested with Xuan Mingtian.

“Young Master Xuan, we have just come up with two solutions. The first is: you will need 10 billion Alliance Coins in funding every year and protection in times of crisis. In return, we will bring you rare and precious materials, Pokémon eggs, and various items worth far more than 10 billion.”

"The second is that we invite you to become the Rockets' vice president. Your status will be equal to mine, and you will have access to all the resources within the Rockets."

As the words fell, not only were the ordinary members present taken aback, but even Xuan Mingtian was no exception. He had never expected that the other party's second option would be for him to join Team Rocket. This was somewhat unbelievable.

However, Xuan Mingtian immediately realized why they would do this. It was highly likely they wanted to recruit him.

The little one, not yet fully developed, stroked his chin, deep in thought about the question. However, Xuan Mingtian turned his head towards the little cutie beside him, hoping to glean some information from it.

"Great shrewdness, it's up to you to decide. I will always support you."

Upon receiving Xuan Mingtian's questioning gaze, the little cutie immediately comforted him. After all, whether they joined or not, it wouldn't make much difference to them.
