Chapter 24: Timid Charcoal Servant

Due to Diancie, Gui Ling no longer had to worry about money. He immediately took everyone to the learning machine and learned every skill possible.

But Gui Ling was very puzzled. Banette’s Will-O-Wisp was clearly very strong, so why couldn't he learn fire-element abilities?

Therefore…

“Since the learning machine can’t do it, we’ll learn it ourselves!”

“Dang Dang!”

“Try Blazing Explosion!”

Banette concentrated his Will-O-Wisp and tried for a long time. After ten minutes, he directly threw out a Blazing Explosion made of Will-O-Wisp, and its power also increased significantly.

“Good heavens, he really can learn it!”

“Dang Dang!”

“Try a few more times!”

After half an hour of training, Banette could skillfully use Blazing Explosion. He could even now wrap Blazing Explosion around him, forming a charging phenomenon.

“Let’s try others! Flamethrower!”

Banette succeeded with this skill in one go, and after a few more tries, he was completely at ease with it.

“Flare Blitz!”

… … … …

“Fire Punch!”

… … … …

“Fire Spin!”

… … … …

“Blazing Explosion!”

… … … …

After a series of attempts, Banette surprisingly learned all of them. The biggest change these moves had compared to ordinary fire-type moves was Will-O-Wisp.

However, Banette’s Will-O-Wisp was very special. Gui Ling discovered that not only could this Will-O-Wisp not be extinguished by water, but each time water was poured on it, it was more like pouring oil on fire, making the fire grow bigger and the power stronger.

Moreover, Banette, as a Puppet Pokémon, was not afraid of fire at all, which Gui Ling found even stranger. He also realized that Banette was definitely not an ordinary Pokémon.

“Banette… you’re really not afraid of fire?!”

“Dang Dang!”

Watching Banette, who had set himself on fire, still jumping around in front of him completely unharmed, Gui Ling was utterly bewildered. Then he looked at the surrounding ground, which had been burned to ashes, and became even more bewildered.

“Puppet Pokémon should all be quite afraid of fire, shouldn’t they…?”

“Dang Dang?”

Banette deliberately changed the subject, saying he wanted to practice other moves more. Gui Ling had no choice but to put that question aside for now and continue training with Banette.

But Gui Ling always had a misconception that Banette would always avoid the reason why he wasn’t afraid of fire, a feeling he couldn't quite describe. It was like a secret, a secret he wanted to keep hidden forever…

But Banette’s subsequent performance completely shocked Gui Ling.

Banette gathered Will-O-Wisp all over his body and violently crashed into the stone in front of him. Suddenly, a fierce explosion directly shattered the stone.

“What the! This can’t be Self-Destruct, can it?! Banette, are you okay!!!”

Gui Ling quickly ran over, only to find that Banette had no injuries, but all the Will-O-Wisp on his body had disappeared.

“Dang Dang?”

“No mistake! That move of yours was Self-Destruct! But why are you fine? Isn’t this skill 1000 damage to the enemy and 800 self-damage?”

To solve this problem, Banette once again gathered Will-O-Wisp all over his body like last time, but this time he suddenly concentrated the Will-O-Wisp into one point and threw it forward.

When the Will-O-Wisp reached the open space, Banette clapped his hand, and instantly that ball of Will-O-Wisp exploded violently.

“I… huh??? Using Will-O-Wisp to replace the body to use Self-Destruct? Banette, were you a Creeper in your past life?”

“Dang Dang?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. How do you feel now?”

“Dang Dang…”

“Too much energy consumed? Yes, after all, you’re using this self-destruct ability as a cannonball. This abnormal ability must consume a lot.”

After a full day of training, Gui Meng also bid farewell to Professor Platane and left Lumiose City. At their departure, Professor Platane gave Gui Ling a black-gold Master Ball and told Gui Ling to try to catch more rare Pokémon if he could.

They also ran into Ash and his friends on the way.

“Hi! Gui Ling!”

“Pika Pi!”

“Hello, Ash, Clemont, and Eureka.”

“Brother Gui Ling, are you also going on an adventure?”

“Yes.”

“Then why don’t we go together!”

“I’ll pass. I’m used to being alone and I like being free and unrestrained.”

“Alright then, I hope to see you on the road! When I catch a Pokémon, I’ll come and battle you!”

“I’m waiting for you. This is our promise, don’t disappoint me.”

Subsequently, the two groups went their separate ways. Ash and his group headed towards Santalune City, while Gui Ling advanced towards Coumarine City.

Along the way, Gui Ling was both traveling and doing extra training with his Pokémon. Ash’s appearance also indicated that the competition was not far off.

Although Gui Ling’s Pokémon each had their flaws, Gui Ling had trained their strengths almost to the extreme.

Banette, needless to say, his Will-O-Wisp was definitely number one. And after Mega Evolution, Banette and Gui Ling even researched the strongest Will-O-Wisp ultimate move. (Foreshadowing)

Gengar abandoned his original reckless behavior, with tricking and controlling opponents becoming his main goals.

Gardevoir mainly practiced psychic power and control, capable of defeating many opponents with minimal effort.

Greninja had been practicing swordsmanship with Gui Ling, and his agility and speed had greatly improved.

Noivern was considered relatively weak in this team, but he still didn’t give up practicing flying every day.

Gui Ling had never given up on finding a Mega Evolution ite for Noivern, and Professor Platane was also helping Gui Ling search.

Diancie’s main focus was defense, but her offensive power was also quite terrifying, so much so that even pseudo-legendaries couldn’t break through.

Mainly because Yveltal, at Diancie’s strong request, launched an attack on her. Originally, Yveltal, afraid of hurting Diancie, slowed down his power, but in the end, even his full power Death Wing was blocked, leaving him completely lost in thought.

What? You’re talking about Yveltal? Besides Diancie, who can withstand one Death Wing from him? Even if they could, how would they fight Yveltal?

Gui Ling even discovered a characteristic: whenever Yveltal was in his cocoon of destruction form, his defense increased significantly. Even if everyone took turns attacking, Yveltal only felt a tickle.

However, just a few days later, the few people who were still training suddenly noticed some movement in the bushes.

As the sound grew louder, a jeep sped over, completely ignoring Gui Ling in front of it and crashing straight into him.

“This person doesn’t have eyes, does he? Come on, Self-Destruct!”

Banette had just finished charging his Will-O-Wisp. Upon receiving the command, he compressed and launched the Will-O-Wisp. When the Will-O-Wisp approached the jeep, Banette clapped his hand.

The next second, the jeep was directly blown into the sky. With the explosion of the engine hood, it flew even further.

“Oh, it flew really high. It must be a terrible fall.”

“ … … … … (What happened? What is this?)”

“Another one who doesn’t have eyes. Let’s go, let’s see.”

When everyone ran from the campsite to the jeep’s location, they found two masked figures crawling out in a sorry state.

“Damn it! You’re playing dirty with me, aren’t you?”

“Bro… is your codename Pangolin?”

The masked man was clearly stunned for a moment and immediately pulled out a Poké Ball.

“How did you know? Did you hack my account?!”

“Really?”

“Stop thinking there, he clearly just guessed!”

“His name is Pangolin, are you called Big Banana?”

“I’m out! Box!”

“???”

While Gui Ling was still bewildered, his peripheral vision caught sight of an iron cage that had fallen behind the jeep.

“Pokémon Hunters, huh?”

“Kid, you will pay for your arrogance! Knowing our identities means you can’t leave here alive! Go, Tyranitar! Weezing!”

“Salamence! Hydreigon!”

“Three pseudo-legendaries? And Superior Pokémon Hunters? But unfortunately…”

Gui Ling snapped his fingers, and Yveltal flew directly over, gently landing behind Gui Ling.

“Death Wing.”

After Yveltal received the command and flew up, a strange red light flickered from his chest, and then Death Wing was unleashed. Tyranitar, with his slow movement speed, was directly hit.

“Little Princess Diamond Storm! Gardevoir Moonblast! Greninja Water Shuriken! Banette Will-O-Wisp! Noivern Boomburst! Gengar Night Shade! Yveltal Shadow Sneak!”

Seven types of energy were unleashed and began to converge, slowly forming a gray sphere that exploded directly. This single blow directly blew away the four Pokémon and two Pokémon Hunters.

“Finally, Death Wing to finish it off!”

As the red light on Yveltal’s chest flickered again, this time Gui Ling completely annihilated the Superior Pokémon Hunters in an overwhelming manner.

“Go look in that cage.”

Greninja used Quick Attack to split open the cage. As Gui Ling peered in, he saw a trembling Charcadet sitting in the corner.

“Charcadet? This shouldn’t be a Kalos region Pokémon, right?”

“ … … … … (A little thing I haven’t seen before, could it be from another region?)”

“Well, these Pokémon Hunters have become nature’s transporters, sending everything to other regions.”

Finally, Gui Ling slowly reached out to pull Charcadet out, but seeing Gui Ling’s hand constantly approaching, Charcadet immediately burst into tears.

“Huh? Why is he crying?”

Gui Ling knew he couldn’t deal with this Charcadet, so he handed the cage over to Gardevoir.

As expected, under Gardevoir’s gentle coaxing, Charcadet slowly crawled out. Gardevoir gently held him in her arms and slowly walked back to the camp.

“Gardevoir, is he alright?”

“Gardevoir Gardevoir.”

“Traumatized? Yes, after all, he was captured by Pokémon Hunters.”

“So, will this child need some time to recover?”

Diancie, holding a Pokémon egg, curiously examined the Charcadet in front of her. However, Charcadet, seeing so many faces, fearfully shrank into Gardevoir’s embrace.

“Here, Charcadet, do you want to eat?”

Gui Ling offered Charcadet a donut. Charcadet, who hadn’t eaten for a long time, swallowed his saliva. After a long period of mental preparation, he finally quickly took the donut and ate it heartily.

“Don’t worry, we mean no harm.”

“Woo…”

“You’re not a Pokémon from this region, so it will be very difficult for you to survive. Do you want to come with us?”

“Woo…”

“Don’t worry, if you follow me, I’ll definitely pay for your food from now on.”

“Woo!”

Upon hearing that he would always have food, Charcadet nodded. Then Gui Ling pressed a Poké Ball on Charcadet’s head. With a flash of red light, Charcadet was successfully caught.

“Come out, Charcadet!”

“Woo…”

“Here, we don’t know what you like to eat, so try them one by one.”

Finally, after choosing food, Charcadet selected the sandwich Gui Ling bought.

“Alright then, I’ve given you all the sandwiches, so I won’t eat.”

“Woo! Woo woo!”

“It’s fine, I have other things to eat, you don’t need to worry about me.”

“Woo…”

After eating lunch and resting for a while, everyone started training again, but Charcadet hid in a corner, secretly watching.

“Gengar Gengar!”

Gengar wanted to invite Charcadet to participate in training, but Charcadet vigorously shook his head. He hid again, somewhat afraid.

“Gengar?”

“Huh? Charcadet, what’s wrong?”

Diancie bounced over, looking curiously at the curled-up Charcadet. Charcadet only improved after Gardevoir comforted him.

“Gardevoir Gardevoir…”

“Shy? It’s okay, since he’s with us, even if he doesn’t want to battle, we still have to feed him well.”

“Gardevoir~”

“Dang Dang?”

“ … … … … (Eighth Pokémon, but why is this one so weak?)”

“Sound Wave!”

Just then, Gengar let out a loud cry and immediately jumped out, standing in front of Banette.

“Gengar Gengar!”

“Dang Dang?”

While Banette was still quite bewildered, Gengar directly burst out several purple Will-O-Wisp from his body. After circling once, they flew straight towards Banette.

“Dang Dang?”

Banette simply gently raised his left hand, threw out a Blazing Explosion that swallowed all the Will-O-Wisp, and then directly blew Gengar away.

“Gengar!!!”

“ … … … … (Oh dear, he flew really high.)”

“You know Banette’s best at Will-O-Wisp, and you still compete with him.”
