"Come out, Gastly!" Qing Wu released this precious white Gastly.

Gastly was now opening its mouth, sticking out its swollen tongue, which Qing Wu found somewhat amusing.

Originally, Gastly was a gas Pokémon and would not suffer physical damage. However, because Deino used the Bite move, Dark-type energy was injected into Gastly's body. After being hindered by the Dark-type energy, Gastly's tongue naturally swelled up.

"Deino, absorb all the Dark-type energy from Gastly!" Qing Wu shouted at Deino. Deino reluctantly nodded, opened its mouth, and a puff of black smoke emerged from Gastly's mouth, entering Deino's mouth. Deino seemed to be savoring the "taste" in its mouth.

Gastly had a dying expression. Qing Wu flicked his finger at Gastly, and an Energy Cube bounced into Gastly's mouth.

Gastly chuckled "Jiejie," swallowing the Energy Cube and beginning to absorb the energy from the solid cube.

Including Gastly, Qing Wu now had ten Pokémon. With Carvanha and Torchic, who would hatch in the next two days, Qing Wu would soon have twelve Pokémon, double the league's limit of six.

Qing Wu felt a bit strained, mostly due to resource limitations.

The resources at hand were a drop in the bucket for his Pokémon; Qing Wu was well aware of this.

At this time, Qing Wu was not a Champion-level Trainer, and some resources were difficult to allocate.

Qing Wu could only provide the best possible resources for his Pokémon without affecting their aptitude.

Qing Wu also needed to figure out a way to hack into the League and Team Rocket's databases, which contained a large amount of Pokémon research data.

In his previous life, Qing Wu only plundered a portion of it and became a Champion-level Trainer. If he could copy all the data from the League and Team Rocket's databases, he might even become a World Champion.

Qing Wu's ambition would not stop at being a Champion.

"Everyone, continue your training. Gastly, since you've been captured by me, follow everyone and start training properly. Today, you'll practice shuttling through everyone's shadows. If you don't train well, I'll punish you by not letting you eat for several days."

Qing Wu wanted Gastly to learn Shadow Sneak. Since Gastly was a gas Pokémon, it wouldn't die even if it didn't eat for a few days.

Qing Wu continued to make Energy Cubes in the cabin. When the sun was about to set, Qing Wu finally stretched his stiff neck, making crackling sounds.

After a day of training, the Pokémon were already exhausted on the ground, now eating the Energy Cubes Qing Wu had prepared.

As the sun's light gradually faded, the moon slowly rose high into the sky. Gastly, that lively character, successfully blended into Qing Wu's team.

It was now licking tongues with Deino, seeing whose saliva landed more on the other's face.

Snivy silently watched the bright moon in the sky, then secretly made a decision, said something to Ralts, and then extended its Vine Whip, flicking it at Qing Wu.

"What is this?" Qing Wu heard a loli-like voice in his mind.

"Qing Wu, can you hear me?" Qing Wu saw a blue light flash on Ralts's body.

"Are you Ralts?" Qing Wu tentatively asked.

"Yes, I am Ralts. Big Sister Snivy said she wants to challenge you to a one-on-one battle. If she wins, you have to let me and Snivy leave. If she loses, she will willingly become your Pokémon and obey your commands," a timid voice echoed in Qing Wu's mind.

"Then, Ralts, what do you think? Don't you like this team?" Qing Wu didn't directly agree to Ralts but instead asked Ralts a question.

"I don't know. I don't dislike this team. Everyone is very kind to me," Ralts's voice was hesitant, sounding as if it was about to cry.

"Ralts, I know the special circumstances have caused deep emotional trauma for you, but not all humans are bad," Qing Wu sighed, speaking earnestly to Ralts.

To be honest, Qing Wu didn't really care about one Ralts; if it wanted to leave, it could.

If a Pokémon's heart wasn't with him, no amount of retention would be useful.

This was Qing Wu's most painful realization in his previous life, so he had no attachment on this point.

After a long while, Ralts finally spoke: "I can feel it, you are a good person," Ralts murmured with a choked voice.

Qing Wu felt a strange sense of amusement; he, the notorious executioner in his previous life, was actually considered a good person by an empathic Pokémon.

"How about this, if Snivy beats me, and Snivy wants to leave, I will absolutely not stop it. But I hope you can learn one thing: never place your hope entirely on others. If I happen to win against Snivy, I hope you can promise me one thing: learn what it means to be strong."

"You also need to learn to play and interact with everyone. You need to have eyes that find beauty. If you want to leave, please tell me in advance, and I will not stop you." Qing Wu conveyed his thoughts to Ralts.

Ralts thought seriously for a while, then lowered its head.

After a long time, it slowly raised its head, wiped away the tears from its eyes, and said firmly to Qing Wu: "Okay, I promise you."

Qing Wu knew that Ralts was already trying to change, so he turned his gaze to Snivy: "I accept your challenge, Snivy. However, I promised Ralts that she is our partner, not a commodity. So if she wants to leave, she can just tell me directly. It has nothing to do with your challenge." Qing Wu spoke seriously to Snivy.

Snivy thought for a moment, looked at Ralts's determined eyes, and nodded.

"Snivy, because of your level, I won't send out a Pokémon that is too much higher level than you. That would seem like bullying," Qing Wu said to Snivy.

The only Pokémon Qing Wu had at the same level as Snivy was Carvanha, so Qing Wu planned to send out Carvanha.

Pokémon: Carvanha (Green)

Gender: Male

Level: 5

Type: Water + Dark

Ability: Speed Boost

Base Moves: Aqua Jet, Poison Fang, Focus Energy, Bite, Ice Fang, Crunch, Supersonic, Water Gun.

Egg Moves: Thrash.

TM/TR Moves: Parting Shot, Surf.

Carvanha is also called Sharpedo, but due to official translation reasons, the name is different.

Snivy looked disdainfully at Carvanha flopping on the deck.

Qing Wu saw in Snivy's eyes the meaning: a weakling like that wants to battle me?

Qing Wu first went into the control room, canceled the auto-navigation, and slowly stopped the yacht.

"Of course, Carvanha can't control the Aqua Jet move very well yet, so it will attack you in the sea. Do you have any objections?" Qing Wu asked Snivy. Snivy nodded.

Under the night sky, in the deep blue sea, specks of moonlight shone on the surface, making the seascape exceptionally beautiful.

Many Water-type Pokémon surfaced to admire the beautiful moonlit scene.

Carvanha splashed into the sea, while Snivy stood on the deck, carefully guarding against Carvanha's attack.

Although Snivy was tsundere, it was still cautious during battle.

"Carvanha, use Focus Energy!" This Carvanha of Qing Wu's was just born when it was caught, likely swept along by a school of Sharpedo, and was only the size of Qing Wu's palm.

After Qing Wu's careful care these past few days, Carvanha had grown larger than a normal Carvanha, as if inflated like a balloon.

Focus Energy could increase Carvanha's accuracy, as among Carvanha's moves, only Ice Fang could affect Snivy.

Snivy used Growth, increasing its size considerably.

Then Snivy's arms extended with Leaf Blade, and its tail lightly patted, gathering light green energy at its tail.

"Carvanha, use Aqua Jet!" Soon, a water pillar appeared on the sea surface. Carvanha, enveloped in the water pillar, rushed ferociously towards Snivy. However, Carvanha hadn't been training for very long, and this Aqua Jet move still had many flaws in Qing Wu's eyes.

Snivy effortlessly used Leaf Blade, splitting the Aqua Jet in two. Its tail coiled up countless green leaves, activating the Grass Pledge move.

"Now, Carvanha, use Parting Shot on Snivy!" A huge roar erupted from Carvanha's mouth. The powerful sound wave not only interrupted Snivy's Grass Pledge move, but Carvanha also used the impact of Parting Shot to return to the sea surface.

With a splash, Carvanha disappeared into the sea, splashing a bloom of water.

Snivy's ears rumbled from the Parting Shot move, and it was actually a bit unsteady on its feet.

"Good opportunity, Carvanha, use Ice Fang!" Ice Fang only had a 95% accuracy rate, but with the boost from Focus Energy, it could reach 100% accuracy.

Blue and white teeth intertwined under the moonlight, revealing dangerous fangs.

Qing Wu saw Snivy's mouth curve slightly upwards. Countless leaves enveloped its tail, and a huge Grass-type storm erupted from Snivy's tail.

Snivy showed no trace of its previous weakness; all of it was a disguise.

Snivy was like a mesmerizing poppy flower, revealing its sharp, long fangs, fangs capable of instantly killing Carvanha.

"Carvanha, spin around and use Aqua Jet!" At this point, Qing Wu could only desperately try anything.

Carvanha exerted all its strength, barely managing to cover its whole body with Aqua Jet and spin.

Empowered by Ice Fang, Aqua Jet froze into ice, resembling a gigantic icicle, and charged straight at Snivy.

Snivy's Leaf Storm collided with the icicle. Countless ice shards mixed with scattered leaves gushed out, creating a white mist. Even Qing Wu's hair was mixed with quite a bit of grass debris and frost.

When the white mist dissipated, Snivy was pinned to the ground by several ice chunks, its body covered in frost. Carvanha lay on the deck, only exhaling air, but its condition was much better compared to Snivy.

Snivy slowly opened its eyes, and after seeing the result, it fainted, a happy smile on its face.

"Oh no, Ralts, use Heal Pulse!" Qing Wu shouted loudly at Ralts. Ralts nervously looked at the severely injured Snivy, its hands and feet trembling, unable to successfully use Heal Pulse.

Qing Wu quickly gave Snivy and Carvanha healing potions, then encouraged Ralts: "Ralts, don't be nervous. You can do it. You have to believe in yourself and take the final step."

Ralts took a deep breath, and its psychic power gathered in its palms. Finally, a clear bell sound rang above Qing Wu's head, and Ralts successfully used Heal Pulse.

Under the gentle glow of Heal Pulse, the potion Qing Wu gave Snivy also began The effect took hold, and Snivy's breathing went from rapid to steady, finally letting out three hoarse sounds.

Under the healing of Heal Pulse, the Three-Colored Fish's condition also improved, and it fell into a state of deep sleep. After all, using skills beyond its physical capacity was a huge drain for the Three-Colored Fish.

Qingwu cared for Snivy all night until morning when he couldn't hold on any longer and slumped onto the sofa, falling into a deep sleep.

Snivy opened its eyes from its slumber, looked at its trainer sleeping beside it, and extended its Vine Whip to cover Qingwu with a blanket.

At this moment, Ralts groggily opened its eyes and watched Snivy's actions. Snivy made a shushing gesture with its Vine Whip, and Ralts nodded innocently, then promptly went back to sleep.

"Hiss-hiss (From now on, you're my trainer, please take care of me)" Snivy's small paw rested on Qingwu's hand, feeling so safe and secure.
