Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 723 Legion Artifact

[This simulation has ended]

The evaluation for this simulation is A.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that after such a fierce battle, in which his entire army was wiped out, he could still get an A-level rating.

Li Shuwen originally thought he was only at the B level, and even a C level wasn't out of the question.

[Rewards are being processed...]

To be honest, Li Shuwen was quite curious about what kind of rewards he could get from this Pokémon simulation.

[Rewards settled.]

[A rating, attribute bonus: Increases affinity by 0.5, improves the speaker's musicality.]

Li Shuwen blinked. "The speaker's musicality?"

Is this reward meant so that he can play guitar for Cynthia in the future?

[Reward Item: Guitar: Speaker - The Determination of the Squirrel]

Playing music with this guitar can boost the battle power of friendly Pokémon, with the minimum effect being a doubling of their battle power.

The maximum effect is determined by the performer's skill, music selection, and emotional investment; there is no upper limit, and the amplification effect continues as long as the music plays.

This weapon boosts the battle power of friendly Pokémon and is also a powerful artifact for any team!

This guitar might have a magical effect in the future...

Li Shuwen immediately became interested.

[System, collect the speaker's musicality.]

Li Shuwen suddenly felt a slight dizziness, then had a subtle understanding of the melody, and a thought of playing it welled up in his mind.

[System, retrieve the guitar, amplifier, and the determination of the Scrat Warrior.]

A reddish-brown guitar, exuding a menacing aura, appeared in Li Shuwen's hands.

Even holding the guitar, Li Shuwen could feel the power surging within it.

Li Shuwen flew directly out of the window and found a secluded corner in the backyard.

Li Shuwen casually played a tune and clearly felt the power of the guitar amplified by the music, transforming into a fighting spirit that surged into his body.

Perhaps because Li Shuwen was the player, he didn't enjoy much of the guitar's amplification effect.

After all, the item's effect clearly states that it amplifies the power of allies, and these allies obviously do not include the player themselves.

Li Shuwen released Lucario again.

After Lucario emerged, it looked around at its surroundings and curiously glanced at Li Shuwen.

He didn't understand why Li Shuwen was waking him up in the middle of the night when he wasn't sleeping.

In particular, Li Shuwen was holding a musical instrument that exuded a strong fighting spirit.

Lucario sensed the guitar's fighting spirit, and his drowsy state instantly vanished.

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I just got this guitar and would like you to help me test its sound."

"The waveguide connection between us allows me to perceive the effects of the guitar most clearly."

As Li Shuwen played rousing music, Lucario felt his body rapidly fill with power, and the energy circulation within his body increased several times over.

Muscles and blood circulation are also getting faster and stronger!

Li Shuwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: this guitar could not only be used to enhance the Pokémon's battle power, but also to train the Pokémon.

This process of increasing combat power actually puts a burden on the Pokémon's body, while also raising the Pokémon's power ceiling.

Even with Li Shuwen's Midas touch, he wasn't sure how much the Pokémon's power would be enhanced after listening to the music.

Simply standing and listening to music can enhance a Pokémon's power.

There are still such wonderful things in this world.

Of course, Li Shuwen did not intend to play the guitar for Li Meining, Shinji, and Satoshi right now.

Simply playing the guitar is not a particularly sophisticated form of spiritual practice.

However, in combination with Li Shuwen's Midas touch, Li Meining and the others need to train hard first, and then use Li Shuwen's Midas touch and music to stimulate their potential and transform it into combat power.

Li Shuwen nodded. "Alright, go back to sleep."

Lucario's palm glowed with blue aura power; the music from earlier had enabled Lucario to use aura power.

A new idea came to mind: when using waveguide power, one should also learn to control the melody and rhythm. Simply flooding the area with water will not maximize the effect of waveguide power.

Lucario attempted to combine his Aura with his breathing.

If successful, as long as Lucario can breathe, his power will increase with each breath!

Lucario tried it and found that if he actively activated it, the effect was not as good as training. If he wanted to activate it passively, he would need a lot of training.

Li Shuwen rubbed Lucario's head. "Alright, go back to sleep first. We'll think about how to convert the Aura into passive breathing tomorrow."

Li Shuwen only needed one glance to figure out what Lucario was up to.

The idea is good, but implementing it will be extremely difficult.

Li Shuwen and Lucario went back to sleep, but in the forest outside Pallet Town, several people couldn't sleep.

That's right, it's the Rockets' trio who haven't played in a long time.

Since Li Shuwen appeared, the three of them have stopped causing trouble.

Because they knew that with Li Shuwen around, their plan had no chance of succeeding.

The campfire flickered weakly, much like the current state of Team Rocket.

Musashi hugged his knees, chin resting on them, his eyes staring blankly at the flames. Kojiro lay on his back, one arm draped over his forehead, as if that could shield him from the cruelty of reality. Meowth curled up in a ball, its tail twitching occasionally to prove it was still alive.

"Gurgle—"

It's unclear whose stomach growled first, but it immediately triggered a chain reaction. Three empty stomachs began to protest in unison.

"Aaaaaaah!" Musashi suddenly jumped up and roared at the night sky, "This can't go on! Kojiro! Meowth! Can't you guys be a little more assertive?!"

Kojiro didn't even lift his eyelids: "Being ambitious won't put food on the table..."

"It's just that..." Meow Meow echoed weakly, "And the problem now is that there's nothing to eat, meow."

"That's because you didn't try hard enough!" Musashi said, hands on his hips. "You simply couldn't think of a solution!"

Meow Meow's ears suddenly perked up, then slowly turned to Musashi: "Speaking of solutions... Meow Meow remembers, Musashi ate the last cookie all by himself, Meow."

Musashi froze.

Kojiro sat up and added quietly, "And it's our 'emergency food reserve'."

"That's to prevent the cookies from spoiling! I'm testing them to see if they've gone bad!"

"Spoiled my foot! I just bought it last night!"

Just as internal conflicts were about to escalate, Kojiro suddenly slapped his thigh: "Wait! I've got it!"

Musashi and Meow Meow both looked at him.

"The Midas Touch! Isn't that Master Li Shuwen in Pallet Town known as the Midas Touch?" Kojiro's eyes gleamed in the firelight. "We can disguise ourselves as his admirers and go to him for guidance!"

Musashi's eyes lit up: "This way, I can not only learn how to become stronger..."

"There's still food to eat, meow!" Meow jumped up.
