Chapter 1044: Su Xu: You are my father

The current pouring into the ground was like a clay ox entering the sea; it didn't stir up any waves on the ground before being entirely dispersed and neutralized.

Although there was the premise that Zeraora hadn't used its full strength, the unexpected reaction left Zeraora stunned in place for a moment in disbelief.

Seeing this, Su Hao first patted its shoulder to tell it not to be discouraged, explaining: "The earth beneath our feet is truly vast, so the current will be dispersed by the earth."

"Zera..."

"The solution is also very simple." Su Hao activated his Aura to connect with Zeraora, guiding it to accumulate power. "As long as you twist your power into a rope, with enough intensity, even the ground cannot easily disperse your current."

After he spoke, under the guidance of Su Hao's Aura, Zeraora's much more condensed current erupted on the ground again.

This time, it surged forward for a full meter before being dispersed by the earth again.

"Zera..." Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Zeraora looked at its palms in shock. Could just condensing its power lead to such an amazing change?

Facing Zeraora's sparkling star-eyes, Su Hao smiled and said: "Many Electric-type Pokémon can cause damage to Ground-type Pokémon for this reason. As long as the power is sufficiently condensed and strong, even the earth cannot disperse too much of your power."

"However, Electric-type Pokémon that can truly achieve this are also very few, and they often appear in battles with huge level gaps."

Zeraora nodded thoughtfully.

Because he had already achieved all his goals, Su Hao didn't linger in the wild. With the relay of the Hisuian Braviary and Dragapult, he returned to Yang City at full speed.

Evening.

Su Xu, who had been forced to live a life of abstinence with Charizard for more than half a month and felt as if his whole person had been sublimated, opened the door, and the face of his debt-collecting son came into view.

Su Xu rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself in confusion: "This shouldn't be... Could it be that I've been living a low-desire life for too long and am hallucinating? That little debt-collector only went out to play for half a month; it's impossible for him to be back so early."

Hearing Su Xu's address of "debt-collector", Su Hao was stunned for a moment, then a kind smile climbed onto his face, saying: "I'm real~"

Su Xu: "!!!!" Σ(? д? |||)??

Oh no, he accidentally let this kid hear what he called him. This little belly-black wouldn't play any tricks to torment his old man again, would he!?

Remembering that his leverage was still in Su Hao's hands, Su Xu, both fearful and afraid, could only pull out a flattering smile, while inwardly despising himself for living so many years only to end up like this.

"Oh my, isn't this my good son? Look, Dad was sleeping confused again. What I just said was sleep-talking; it doesn't count!"

Seeing Su Xu's submissive appearance, Su Hao lost the idea of persecuting him. After all, Su Xu was his father; some things were enough when pointed out.

Sighing, Su Hao said: "The goals have been achieved, so naturally I'm coming home to stay for a while."

Finding that Su Hao was also consciously letting this pass, Su Xu cooperated: "Are you still going to school?"

Su Hao shook his head: "Not for now. I've taken a long leave; we'll talk when something comes up."

"Now I want to focus my energy on the International Youth Exchange Tournament in a week."

"That tournament..." Su Xu's expression was a bit heavy. He remembered that it was under the banner of an International Youth Exchange Tournament, but in reality, it was a game between various national alliances over newly descended secret realms.

Going to other alliances' territory to participate in the tournament, if one is not careful, it is easy to have an accident. In an unfamiliar environment, even with that current Champion as the leader, it is the same.

The outside world is very cruel, and the other side of the sea is not necessarily full of good people.

Su Hao suddenly spoke, pointing to the heavy black box not far behind the door, and asked: "Dad, what is that?"

"Ah?" Su Xu was stunned for a moment, cast his gaze in the direction Su Hao pointed, and suddenly

realized: "That's something your mom sent back. It was just delivered not long ago, and I haven't had time to open it."

Su Hao nodded and looked away.

Although he was curious about what Su Qing had sent back, there were more important things to solve now; opening packages could wait.

Su Hao put down his backpack and said: "By the way, Dad, come to the backyard with me for a moment; I have something to tell you."

Su Xu: "?"

In the Su family backyard, Su Hao tossed the Luxury Ball in his hand and said: "Dad, can you come and be my sparring partner for these few days?"

"Ah?" Su Xu's gaze, which was moving with the Luxury Ball in Su Hao's hand, paused, and he nodded blankly: "I can, I can. Anyway, there are very few young people of the right age who can challenge the Champion Road now, and I don't have anything to do."

Su Hao counted: "As for the training plan, it's quite simple. Diancie is about to reach the late Gym-level, and I hope to fight some weaker Heavenly King-level Pokémon."

"Then there are the Hisuian Braviary and Lucario; I am also preparing to start bringing them to sprint for the Gym-level."

"And there are sparring opponents suitable for Incineroar and the others... Leafeon, Metagross's..."

Su Hao spoke with great interest, but Su Xu's expression became increasingly ugly.

Good guy, this debt-collector is planning to make himself a 100% free sparring partner!

Before Su Xu could complain, Su Hao added: "Of course, I have also prepared a very good opponent for your Charizard, which will definitely help it understand the power of the Blue Flame more deeply."

Su Xu didn't distrust Su Hao, but he had to refute this sentence: "Son, we should be honest as people; we can't force ourselves to take on things we can't do... right?"

Before Su Xu finished speaking, Su Hao threw the Luxury Ball in his hand. Amidst the flashing red light, an ice-blue figure flew quietly in mid-air.

Su Xu had no time to care about the dim sky above his head; his pupils vibrated wildly, and his speech became stuttering.

"Art-art-art-art-art... Articuno!?"
