Chapter 10: Hidden Trait: Nidoking! Scars Are Honor! (Bonus Chapter, Requesting Data)

After a simple lunch, the time had passed into the afternoon.

The afternoon was not a time for rest, but for their training.

In a world where strength is the foundation, to live better, one must enhance their power.

In the Hunter World, becoming a Nen user is the primary path to self-strengthening.

Here, a Nen user may not necessarily be strong, but the strong are always Nen users!

Considering that the two girls had been malnourished and physically weak before meeting him.

Luo Ge did not rush them into learning 【Nen】.

【Nen】 is closely tied to physical condition.

Especially at the entry stage, if physical condition is inadequate, death may occur.

Luo Ge naturally did not want to see such a thing happen.

So while ensuring they ate well at every meal, he had them perform physical exercises to rapidly improve their fitness.

The effect was very noticeable.

With ingredients from the Pokémon World, they had progressed from malnutrition to significantly improved physical condition.

Watching the two performing push-ups ahead, Luo Ge crossed his arms and nodded:

"Good, your progress these past days has indeed been rapid."

In fact, having survived this long in Meteor Street proves their strength isn't weak; despite being children, their stamina rivals that of adults.

The main limitation was nutrition—they had been constantly draining their bodies.

So after a month of "nutritional supplementation," their progress had been astonishing.

Machi and Toto were fully aware of this, which is why they had come to trust Luo Ge so deeply over the past month.

He had given them too much; in comparison, they had provided almost no assistance.

So they only wished to improve their strength as quickly as possible, so they could help Luo Ge in the future.

Regarding these items he had produced, even Nidoking, Luo Ge's answer was that he had created them using his ability.

The two girls did not press further; they trusted Luo Ge and hoped to one day possess powerful abilities themselves.

After a long while.

Toto was the first to give out, sitting down on the nearby sofa to rest.

A little later, Machi did even more push-ups before finally collapsing, choosing to sit cross-legged on the floor to catch her breath.

After the workout, sweat beaded on Machi's forehead, a strand of pink hair clinging to her cheek.

Watching Luo Ge lifting a stone to train his strength, Machi fell silent for a moment, whispering softly:

"Thank you, Luo Ge."

She knew clearly that their current living conditions were entirely due to Luo Ge.

She became even more certain that the wisest decision she had ever made in her life was following her sixth sense to bring Luo Ge back.

Luo Ge's weightlifting motion paused slightly; he did not turn around, but spoke directly:

"I heard that."

Hearing Luo Ge's slightly mischievous tone, Machi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she fell silent.

But since she had just finished exercising, her face was already red, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Toto lay sprawled on the sofa like a pile of mud, her mind blank.

Glancing sideways at Machi's blushing face, Luo Ge smiled faintly and shook his head, while another thought surfaced in his mind.

They were about due to leave this place.

Although their current living environment was acceptable, staying here too long would become unbearable.

Moreover, continuing to stay here offered little help to their strength development.

He planned to find a Master—a good Master who could fully unlock the potential of all three of them.

Without the influence of his own Nen ability, Luo Ge might not have felt such a strong urge to seek a Master.

But after realizing that the items, traits, and even the increased power of his Pokémon were all tied to his own strength.

Luo Ge decided to pursue both paths: his Nen ability must advance, and his own physical power must not be neglected.

He had already decided on a candidate for Master, though after leaving, he might need some time to locate them.

……

Several days later,

Nidoking stood on the bare ground, limbs taut, head slightly lowered, in a posture of alertness.

It resembled the behavior of a rabbit in nature sensing danger.

Its two large ears trembled slightly, as if tuning into some signal.

The next moment, Nidoking dashed forward with all its strength, charging at the rock ahead, its horn glowing faintly purple.

"Crash!"

Nidoking slammed into it, its sharp horn piercing the rock and cracking it with a spiderweb pattern.

Then pain surged into Nidoking's mind, but it showed no fear—even retreated a few steps, eager to try again.

Luo Ge's eyes flickered with resignation as he called out: "Nidoking, can we try a different training method next time?"

His Nidoking had a strong personality—always bursting with energy, spending its days eating and wanting to train.

Luo Ge suspected this might be related to its trait.

Name: Nidoking

Trait: Vitality

Type: Poison

Skills: Poison Needle, Stare, Peck, Qi Gathering

My Nidoran has a rare hidden ability—Vitality.

【Vitality】 In the game, its effect is increased attack power but reduced accuracy.

In reality, it manifests as a perpetually energetic and enthusiastic demeanor.

Its training method is also distinctive—it favors ascetic practice.

This does not refer to meditation like a monk's; Nidoran prefers to strike its body against objects to strengthen itself.

Since it has not yet learned more skills, all its current skills are physical in nature.

For example, 【Peck】—the harder and stronger its beak, the greater the power of the move.

Unfortunately, while this training method is effective, it often causes Nidoran to injure itself.

Yet it seems to enjoy it thoroughly; even when wounded, it pays no mind, treating such injuries more like badges of honor.
