Chapter 176 The Power of Waveguides
In Donghuang, there's nothing that a meal can't solve; if there is, then have some wine too.
"Oh my, look at my Mao, her cooking gets better every day." (chewing)
"Water lily, that's a dish made by Wei Xin."
"Oh, Ma'am, look how delicious the food Wei Xin made is!"
"Now I understand why you're so happy with Sinnoh, Cynthia. If I had a chef like that at home, I wouldn't go back to Carlos. By the way, please don't tell your manager about me sneaking out to eat. By the way, can we pack up the leftovers? The chef can pack them up too."
"Don't talk, keep eating."
"Hehehe, here comes the chicken soup."
"Wei Xin, stop being so busy, sit down and have something to eat."
"I've already eaten in the kitchen, everyone eat as much as you like, there's still some in the pot." With that, Wei Xin took off his apron, "I'm going to check on the little ones in the yard."
Wei Xin pushed open the door and found that the Pokémon in the yard had all formed their own little groups.
Gardevoir is teaching Ralts how to control the power of the moon.
"Gardevoir!" Your energy is too scattered. You need to concentrate the energy you draw from nature around your body, then let it rotate and compress on its own, and then use the resulting gravity to stir up more natural forces, repeating the cycle until this force is beyond your control. A dazzling full moon appears in Gardevoir's hand and is thrown into the air. The white light from the explosion makes the moonlit courtyard as bright as day.
Ralts seemed to be deep in thought, and began to imitate Gardevoir. Before long, countless tiny points of light appeared in front of it and converged towards its palm.
As part of the Bodybuilding Power Group, Incineroar, Empoleon, Garchomp, Grimmsnarl, Professor Kukui's Lucario, and Froakie wrestled at the stone table in the courtyard, with Tebrimon as the referee.
Lucario, eliminated by the Grimmsnarl, sat on a stone bench, sobbing uncontrollably. Bratty patted him on the shoulder, offering comforting words: "They all laugh at you, but you're the funniest one. Defeated by the Grimmsnarl with just three fingers! You're really like Cao Cao entering the vegetable garden, or Zhen Ji picking vegetables!"
The final match was between the Fiery Roar Tiger and the Hairy Troll. The Hairy Troll sat steadily on the stone bench, while the Fiery Roar Tiger's feet were already stuck in the ground. Its other hand gripped the edge of the stone table, veins bulging on its arm, its face flushed red, and it opened its mouth to roar silently. With all its might, it finally managed to deflect the Hairy Troll's arm ten degrees. In its excitement, it looked up at the Hairy Troll, its eyes shifting from shock to confusion, and then to disbelief.
The long-haired troll remained calm, raised an eyebrow, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a wicked smile beneath his long black hair. "Have you had enough fun?"
Then, to Incineroar's horrified gaze, the arm of the struggling Incineroar, whose Blaze ability had even been activated, was slammed heavily onto the stone table.
Facing the kneeling, unwilling Incineroar, the long-haired Grimmsnarl raised its arms and shouted, "So you think you're the number one Pokémon in the universe? Blaze? Even a dog wouldn't play with that. Go back and eat an Ability Potion, change yourself to the Intimidate ability, and then come back. You almost burned my fur off."
Unlike the bodybuilding group, which was in a frenzy of excitement, on the riverbank, Popplio, Glaceon, Primarina, and Milotic gathered together, mouths agape, facing the river in front of them, singing loudly. Their ethereal and alluring voices drew the water-type Pokémon in the river to leap out of the water.
Peaceful and idyllic life, my foot!
Why are you all so loud?
Eevee listened quietly to the trainer, occasionally opening its mouth to hum softly, planning to sing it to the trainer once it learned it.
In the garage on the other side, Milton, Godfather, and Silvally lay on the ground with their hands tucked in their sleeves, eyes closed, seemingly resting. Pokémon's joys are not shared; I just wanted some peace and quiet.
Pokkis flew around in the sky and landed next to the Warrior Eagle on the roof. He patted the Warrior Eagle with his wing and said, "Hey buddy, what do you think is the purpose of our lives?"
The Valkyrie stared at the empty glass jar, devoured by the Pokémon, smacking its lips, still wanting more, hoping to find a trainer later to get some more Energy Cubes.
Eevee and Ralts' training progressed very smoothly, but Tanjiro stood in front of Cynthia's Lucario, looking down in disappointment.
"Is your training hitting a bottleneck?" Wei Xin stood next to Lucario and hired Lucario as his teacher, charging him one can of Energy Cube a day as tuition.
I have to say, it's quite cheap, much more cost-effective than tutoring classes where you pay money, get a test paper, and then pay for self-study time.
"Lucario!" Lucario reported to Wei Xin on Tan Xiaoshi's learning progress. Tan Xiaoshi was serious about learning and diligent in training, and was very effective in free fighting. However, although Lucario could sense that Tan Xiaoshi had talent in energy control and understanding of aura, he was unable to bring it out.
Lucario's mastery of aura usually relies on bodily organs, an innate talent, which makes it difficult to teach other Pokémon.
Although it sounds like hell, the reality is that people with both hands cannot teach people without arms to use tools.
"I see." After pondering for a moment, Wei Xin came up with a solution. Since wave guidance can be learned through training, there must be some trick to it. If it is regarded as a kind of superpower, can he learn the power of wave guidance and then teach the secret to Tan Xiaoshi?
Moreover, he also has a Ralts learning machine by his side.
After waiting a while, and after Gardevoir shared all its experience with the power of the moon with Ralts, Wei Xin sat cross-legged on the ground and called Ralts to his side.
"Ralts, come here for a second."
Wei Xin patted his thigh, and Ralts instantly teleported to sit on Wei Xin's lap. After Wei Xin explained his idea to Ralts, Ralts understood and got ready.
Telepathy, activate!
Wei Xin said to Lucario, "Could you demonstrate the waveguide to us?"
Aura is also known as the power of mind and emotion, so Wei Xin suspects that by using Ralts's telepathy, he might be able to glimpse the mysteries of aura.
"Lucario." Lucario nodded, closed his eyes, and gripped the spike in his chest. A powerful yet harmless aura enveloped the entire villa, revealing every rustle of wind and movement around him.
Wei Xin knew of three types of aura power: aura power that could be materialized and used to enhance oneself and fight; aura power that could grant farsightedness, X-ray vision, and even the ability to transmit sound over long distances; and aura power that could infuse one's own aura power into another's body, giving the other a powerful life force at the cost of one's own demise.
The waveguide that Lucario demonstrated is the second type.
Wei Xin and Ralts closed their eyes, calmed their minds, and used the waveguide released by Lucario to perceive their surroundings from a different perspective.
Colorless, odorless, and soundless, like a special sound wave, it passes through inorganic matter, strikes beings with emotions and wills, and bounces back. Although the eyes are closed, one can clearly see the changes in the world under the waveguide's influence, just like the eyes of the soul.
Every person and every Pokémon's body emits a different color because of their emotions.
Furthermore, because Lucario's mastery of waveguides is so profound, the perception effect is extremely clear, allowing him to see almost anything he wants.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, the group in the room felt the power emanating from the courtyard and curiously stepped out of the room, crowding around Lucario. "What is Wei Xin doing?" Karuni asked.
"Perhaps he's trying to comprehend aura," Cynthia explained. "Sigh, isn't aura a power that only a special group of people can comprehend?" Mary wondered, but then she thought, since it's Wei Xin, it's not surprising.
Is there anything he can't do?
"That used to be the general consensus, but according to modern research, the power of aura, or mental power, is actually hidden within each person's body. When one's own aura intertwines with that of another, it is called a bond. So-called aura users are simply people who are naturally sensitive to aura and can manipulate it. In contrast, even ordinary people can master aura power by spending time and effort and undergoing systematic training, just like this."
As he spoke, Dr. Kukui stretched out his hand, staring at his palm, veins bulging on his face. With a roar, "Don't underestimate the strength of a sports student!", a blue ball of light the size of a fingernail appeared in his palm and began to spin.
"Doctor, you actually know how to use waveguides?"
Gladgio asked in surprise, "Why didn't you take it out when we were at the research institute?"
The old man is hiding the secret of burning the incense, isn't he?
"You didn't ask me either," Dr. Kukui chuckled and explained, "When I was researching Z-Moves, I visited many regions and saw a lot of strange people and events. I even unintentionally visited a small country with aura beliefs and secretly learned a little bit from them. But that little bit of skill would only make me look foolish."
Dr. Kukui casually tossed the waveguide ball out, and it disappeared without a trace after flying less than a meter. He himself was only half-baked, how could he teach others?
"However, I heard that there is a Wudang Mountain in Donghuang, which seems to have a great understanding of waveguides. The temple there is also accepting apprentices. When we have time, we can go and visit it."
As soon as Dr. Kukui finished speaking, Wei Xin opened his eyes. He nodded thoughtfully and confidently, saying, "I see. I have now understood the principle of waveguides."
