Pokémon Farm

Chapter 26 Positioning and Guidance

At this moment, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but feel excited, because he could finally skip class and wouldn't be bound by the classroom for the next two days.

"Xiao Gang and Bin, I just asked the teacher for leave. It's the three of us, and we don't have to go to class tomorrow either, because I asked for leave for tomorrow too." Xuan Mingtian's excitement was impossible to hide from the two of them.

"Wow, Xiaotian, you're really good at this. I've been a student here for so long and I've also gotten to know the older students, but none of them are as brave as you. You're simply a role model for us all."

Xiao Gang raised his thumb and looked at Xuan Mingtian with a smile, but Xuan Mingtian was completely unaware of the meaning behind the smile and thought it was just Xiao Gang being too happy.

Yang Bin agreed, saying, "Brother Tian, ​​you're really something, getting leave so easily."

"Hmph, what's the big deal? It's a piece of cake. The most important thing is to give each of our Pokémon special training. If we don't get a good ranking in the competition, it will damage the reputation of our truant trio," Xuan Mingtian said seriously.

Indeed, although I am not afraid, one is my good friend and the other is my younger brother. If I don't get a good ranking, I won't dare to ask for leave again next time.

After hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, Xiao Gang also withdrew his idea of ​​reporting, because the academy competition was about to start in two days, and he didn't want to fall too far behind.

"Alright, you've rested enough, let's start preparing for training. Bin, wait a moment, I'm getting some things for your little dragon." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian went straight back to his room.

Five minutes later, Xuan Mingtian came to the backyard carrying a bag of packages.

"Binzi, these two weighted bracelets are for you and Little Fire Dragon. You put them on and adjust them so that they don't interfere with your daily activities. Once you've adapted, we won't consider it an increase."

"Brother Tian, ​​this is too precious, I..."

Yang Bin interrupted himself at this point.

Xuan Mingtian said, "You are my follower. This is to help you improve your own strength. If your strength is not up to par, how can you be my subordinate? The higher your strength, the more you can help me."

After thinking about it for a moment, Yang Bin agreed with Xuan Mingtian. If he wasn't strong enough, he would lose face as someone's follower. After all, he didn't want to need his boss's protection when he was in danger.

"Thank you, Brother Tian. I will work hard to improve my physical condition and I will definitely not let you down." After saying that, he put on the weighted bracelet and adjusted the scale to suit himself.

Then Xuan Mingtian began to arrange for the little fire dragon: "Little fire dragon, come here."

"Ao Huolong": Boss, what are you doing?

"This is for you. From now on, you have to take some Fire Stone Powder every morning when you wake up, after meals, and before going to bed." Xuan Mingtian then took out a bag of Fire Stone Powder from his pack and handed it to the little fire dragon.

The Fire Stone powder was purchased and broken after the Skybreaker was modified. In the previous life, many people thought that stones like Fire Stone and Water Stone could only be used for evolution, but this is the real world.

The reason why Fire Stones can allow certain Pokémon to evolve into a specific type is that these stones contain a huge amount of type energy that helps specific Pokémon evolve. Similarly, Pokémon of the same type can also absorb the energy to become stronger.

That's why Charmander needs to consume powder; it makes its fire-type energy stronger and more abundant, but this requires accumulation over time from a young age.

When she saw Binzi stabilize the weighted bracelet at 1.1, she couldn't help but think to herself, "How weak must his body be?"

After shaking off her own thoughts, she said to Binzi, "Binzi, have you planned out the future role for Little Fire Dragon?"

"Boss, what's the location? Is it edible?" Erbi Bin replied.

Hearing this, he was speechless and said to Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, I'm tired of this. You talk to him."

Xiao Gang laughed as he listened, "Pfft, hahaha, that's hilarious. Okay, let me explain. Binzi, the positioning depends on the Pokémon's attributes and racial abilities, to see what position your Charmander is best suited for."

Indeed, in Xuan Mingtian's understanding, if a Pokémon is to be used in a Pokémon battle, it must find its own exclusive position, just like the positions in his own partners. There are three partners: the physical attacker Potian, the special attacker Garlic, and the assassin Little Dot. Dehua is responsible for singing and housework, Little Tower is responsible for beauty and taking care of fruit trees, and Little Cutie is responsible for teaching skills.

Of course, the companions also have some other abilities, such as being able to unleash a destructive beam on the enemy after breaking through the sky.

Xiao Gang said seriously, "Binzi, most Pokémon of the Charmander species are good at special attacks. Similarly, after evolving into Charizard, it will gain the Flying type, so it can be positioned as a special attacker."

Yang Bin suddenly realized and replied, "I see. Xiao Gang, you're amazing! You hit the nail on the head! Your understanding of the combat positions is so thorough."

"I didn't really understand any of this before; Xiao Tian taught me. My little Geodude is a position that combines offense and defense," Xiao Gang replied.

Xuan Mingtian said, "Alright, Xiao Gang, you'll have to catch a Larvitar in the future. Larvitar's final evolution is a tank, both tanky and high-damage. So Binzi, you need to think carefully about which Pokémon you want to catch in the future. Battle position is very important."

In Pokémon battles, the ultimate victor is often a multi-type trainer. Even many Gym Leaders have at least one non-Gym type Pokémon. If your entire team of Pokémon has the same type, you're likely to get crushed unless you can completely overwhelm your opponent. Otherwise, don't think of yourself as Ash Ketchum from the anime.

After thinking for a while, Xuan Mingtian said to Yang Bin, "Binzi, let Charmander practice Flamethrower the first two days, and other skills can be secondary. Getting familiar with Flamethrower will be a great help in this competition. I will ask Little Cutie to help teach him. You can't slack off on your own physical training. Go and pack your luggage in the dormitory first. You will live in the small courtyard from now on."

"Okay, Brother Tian, ​​I'll let Little Fire Dragon practice here. I'm going to pack my luggage." After saying that, Yang Bin rushed out of the small courtyard.

"Xiao Gang, these soft sands are for Geodude to rub against, so it can absorb the Ground-type energy. Also, remember to rub half of each of these hard rock powders against it." After Yang Bin left, he handed the tools he had prepared for Geodude to Xiao Gang, and also gave him a word of advice.

"Thank you, Xiaotian. Little Stone has gotten much stronger lately and will definitely get a good ranking in the competition, unless he runs into you." Xiaogang said gratefully.

Xuan Mingtian also instructed, "Also, if Little Fist Stone gains weight too quickly during this period, give it some light stone powder to absorb the energy inside, otherwise it will be too heavy to run."

"Quanquanshi": Thank you, Xiaotian. I will try my best to absorb the energy inside.

"Thank you, Xiaotian." After thanking him, Xiaogang took Little Geodude to the side to practice releasing skills.

"Garlic, it's time for our training." After saying that, he scanned it again using the panel.

妙蛙种子

Attributes: Grass, Poison

Features: Lush

Qualification: Green with two streaks of blue

Skills: Tackle, Shout, Vine Whip, Sleep Powder, Razor Leaf, Root, Grassy Terrain, Magic Leaf

Review: This Bulbasaur seems to have gained weight recently, either from being bloated or simply gotten a bit bigger.

After seeing the new Magic Leaf skill in his skill bar, he secretly nodded in approval of his efforts over the past few days. However, upon seeing the comments, he felt as if he had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

"Garlic, have you been eating too much rice cake lately?"

"Guagua Seed": Master, no, I only eat 10 rice cakes a day.

"Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you need to digest all that energy. I think you're a little bloated. Also, you should walk around the plum blossom stakes a few times more often." After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he thought to himself that he could walk on the plum blossom stakes with four legs, and very steadily at that.

He took out Leaf Stone Powder and Miracle Seed Powder from his package and handed them to Garlic, saying, "You should absorb the energy from these powders now."

These miracle seeds are purely elven items, not the miracle seeds from your own tree.

"Gua Seed": Okay, got it.

Five minutes is neither a long nor a short time. During these five minutes, I drank my milk tea and watched Garlic radiate green grass-like energy. After all, Garlic is still a small guy. If Little Tower were to take a handful of this powder, I believe it would absorb all the energy in less than three seconds.

"Frog Seed": Master, I've absorbed it all, what's next?

"Next, I need you to extend your vine whip and try to use grass-based energy to control the growth of spikes on its surface."

"Frog Seed": Master Silver, no problem.

After the garlic sprouted its vine, the tendrils shimmered with a green light. When the light faded, only a few small, protruding thorns remained on the tendrils.

"Garlic, use the spiky side to whip this wooden stake."

Upon hearing the cracking sound, the human and the elf looked at the area where a scratch about half a centimeter deep and 20 centimeters long had been lashed out.

"Quack Quack Seed": Wow, Master, that's amazing!

Hearing Garlic's excited squeals, I couldn't help but pour cold water on it, saying, "Garlic, this level isn't enough. You should know that your elder brother Potian can reach this depth with a light stroke. Also, look at the thorns on your vine; aren't they already starting to wear down?"

"Gua Seed": Oh really, what should I do?

Xuan Mingtian comforted him, saying, "Garlic, don't worry. What you need now is to make sure the thorns remain even after you extend the vine. This requires a lot of control and can't be accomplished in just a day or two. Besides, with your current strength, you can definitely get a ranking in the academy competition. What you need now is to make sure the thorns remain even after you extend the vine."

"Frog Seed": Okay, Master, I understand, I will try my best.

After watching Garlic Chop, he ran off to practice. The thorny vine whip was a very good technique. Just imagine if Garlic, this fortress, got close and suddenly a thorny vine whip appeared. Even if it didn't tie the other person up, just one lash would tear their skin apart.

Then I'll need to train the spikes to be both hard and soft, because I don't want to be bound by a vine whip with spikes, that would be the death of me.
