Chapter 53

If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me for advice. After all, I was once a Champion-level trainer."

"However, it's best if you find a path that suits you best.

There are thousands of paths, and there is always one that suits you; when you find it, you won't be far from success."

"By the way, you won't need to pay when you come to my place in the future; it's all open to you for free."

After speaking, Hong Wu also left the training gym, leaving this place for Su Yu himself.

Su Yu watched Hong Wu walk out, his heart filled with respect.

Fortunately, he didn't encounter the scammers mentioned in the letter when meeting such a generous and open-minded old Champion who didn't hold onto sectarian prejudices.

Otherwise, it would probably have caused him a huge blow and left him disappointed for a lifetime.

After settling his emotions, Su Yu looked at the secret treasures in his hands.

He put away the Sea Incense and then walked in front of the Shinx with the Magnet.

"Shinx, this time I have something good for you. It can improve your strength and also enhance your aptitude."

"Meow." The Shinx looked at the Magnet in Su Yu's hand, full of curiosity.

It felt a yearning aura from the Magnet.

It seemed that as long as it ate it, it could become stronger.

Seeing the Shinx's gaze, Su Yu smiled and placed the Magnet in front of the Shinx.

"Eat it, once you eat it, you can become stronger."

The Shinx nodded and swallowed the Magnet without any hesitation.

【Shinx consumed the Magnet and gained 1000 experience points!】

【Shinx consumed the Magnet and gained 1000 experience points!】

【Shinx has sufficient experience and leveled up to Lv16!】

【Swift: Fires star-shaped light to attack the opponent. The attack will definitely hit.】

【Luxio has sufficient experience and leveled up to Lv25!】

The white light on the Shinx's body dissipated, and a Pokémon appeared with a blue head and front half of its body, and a black back half.

It had a thick black mane, two yellow rings on each of its front paws, and its tail was a yellow four-pointed star.

It was precisely the Shinx's evolution, Luxio!

Su Yu checked Luxio's attributes.

【Name: Luxio】

【Description: Its electrified claws are its pride and weapon. It possesses a heart of justice and will share the fruits of its hunting with its partners.】

Luxio successfully changed from quasi-Champion potential to Champion potential!

"Congratulations, Luxio."

Su Yu walked forward and said, looking at this Luxio that had begun to look majestic.

"Meow-roar!"

Luxio instantly pounced into Su Yu's arms, happily rubbing against Su Yu.

At this time, the Combusken, which had recovered some stamina on the side, also walked over, feeling happy for Luxio.

"Combusken."

At this moment, the Combusken, which was originally the highest-level among the three Pokémon, had instead become the lowest-level one.

Upon seeing the Combusken, Luxio didn't feel smug at all because its strength had surpassed it.

Because the one standing in front of it was the true big brother!

"I'm really sorry, Combusken. I'll find a secret treasure for you when the time comes."

"Combusken!" The Combusken shook its head, as if to say, I can become stronger without that kind of thing!

"I'm very happy you think that way, but if there's a Fire-type secret treasure, I still have to find one for you."

Su Yu patted the Combusken's shoulder; although the Combusken didn't want it, he couldn't *not* find one.

After all, it was his starter Pokémon; he couldn't favor one over the other.

After resting, the Combusken couldn't wait to find the training machine and started training again.

After evolving, Luxio was also very excited, and it also found a machine to train with.

Seeing his Pokémon so diligent, Su Yu also followed them and started training.

In the Gym Leader's office, Hong Wu was sitting in his seat, beaming with joy.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Beep, beep."

After the busy signal, the call was connected.

064: Alolan Vulpix Hatches!

A pleasant voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Uncle Hong, what made you think of calling me?"

Hearing this voice, Hong Wu also relaxed, "Little Wu, do you have a Milotic?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Uncle Hong?"

"It's like this, I just found my successor, and he wants to raise a Milotic, so he asked me if I had any Beauty Scales. I thought of you immediately. So I wanted to ask you if you still have any Beauty Scales."

The woman on the other side of the phone asked with some surprise, "Of course I have Beauty Scales, but Uncle Hong, have you found your successor?"

"That's right." Speaking of his successor, a smile appeared on Hong Wu's face again, "I am very satisfied with this successor."

"Really?" The woman on the other side of the phone was a bit surprised; she knew about Hong Wu's situation.

Because his dream was to raise a Champion.

So Hong Wu was very strict with the requirements for his future disciple.

And because of this, so many years had passed, and Hong Wu hadn't found a disciple he was satisfied with.

But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he had found that person.

"Uncle Hong, shall I bring the Beauty Scales to you in person? It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of person can become Uncle Hong's successor."

"Good, you definitely won't be disappointed." Hong Wu's tone was full of confidence.

"Then Uncle Hong, I'll hang up now; I'll come to see you in a few days..."

Yunhai City, downstairs of the apartment building.

"How was it? How do you feel about the college entrance exam?" Su Yu asked, looking at the beauty in front of him.

Yan Ruyue revealed a smile, and she smoothed her hair.

"I think I performed well; getting into Tianyun University should be more than enough. Not to mention I have the bonus points from the exam."
