--------------------------------

Early weekend morning, Gastly affectionately woke slumbering Lu Ye with tongue licks.

Paralysis effect triggered!

Lu Ye shuddered, using trembling hands to retrieve Cheri Berry from the bedside.

Stuffing it in his mouth, Lu Ye expressionlessly chewed, nodding at Gastly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Kekeke!"

Lu Ye previously told Gastly that Toxic training required Lu Ye's accompaniment.

Therefore, early morning, Gastly impatiently woke Lu Ye, excitedly flying around the room.

Lu Ye washed up while yawning.

Last night practising-partnering rich lady until late; today, accompanying Gastly training.

Was this a trainer's daily life?

Genuinely tiring!

But having promised Gastly, Lu Ye rarely had training enthusiasm.

Opening the system's Pokédex, displaying Gastly's currently mastered moves.

Ability:Levitate

Moves: Confuse Ray, Lick, Hypnosis, Curse, Night Shade, Will-O-Wisp, Mean Look, Protect, Substitute

Pre-evolution learnable moves were nearly mastered.

Once mastering Toxic, Gastly's SubToxic tactics would be complete.

Since Gastly's early offensive means were limited, Toxic was Gastly's critically important move.

"Let's go. Bring Poison Gem to the specialised training venue!" Lu Ye yawned.

"Kekeke!"

Bilibili and streaming revenues were distributed. Including yesterday's side income, Lu Ye had about sixty thousand yuan.

This gave him confidence in visiting proper professional venues for training.

Though hourly fees reached thousands of yuan, professional venues provided professional personnel and safety guarantees.

With medical teams present, Lu Ye could train Toxic slightly more reassured.

Lu Ye chose a battle club named "Bull Horn Arena."

Trainers could choose direct fees or membership forms for entering training venues.

But Lu Ye, self-aware that he might not come all year, paid three thousand yuan directly to book a small training venue.

Per Lu Ye's requirements, the club introduced an Elite-level Poison-type trainer to provide consultation and assistance.

This trainer named Xia Quan was a tall, thin woman with raised eyebrows and extremely sharp eyes.

"You're training Poison-type Pokémon?" Xia Quan glanced at Lu Ye. "Very rare. Trainers choosing Gastly as starter Pokémon."

Since Poison and Ghost types were unpopular attributes, plus Gastly's long breeding cycle, few chose Gastly as a starter Pokémon.

But Gengar was also a Poison-type powerhouse. Xia Quan had a good impression of Gastly.

Lu Ye nodded. "I want training on its Toxic move. Troubling you."

"How should I cooperate?" Xia Quan crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Battle? Or feeding moves?"

Lu Ye pondered momentarily, thinking of Koga's [Toxic Experience] introducing Poison-type Pokémon.

Unlike other attribute Pokémon, due to immunity to poisoning effects, Poison-type Pokémon theoretically could absorb other Pokémon's toxins, continuously strengthening themselves.

Like devouring strange fires; same principle.

More absorbed, Toxic's toxicity became fiercer, increasingly hard to eradicate.

This theory was first proposed by Koga in [Toxic Experience], recording massive toxin mixing methods.

Without Koga's recorded tricks, others rashly letting Poison-type Pokémon attempt would only make Pokémon suffer pointlessly.

Therefore, this [Toxic Experience] was genuinely a substantial favour!

"This isn't Toxic; clearly a Divine Favour..." Lu Ye murmured.

Poison Gem could enhance Gastly's original toxins.

Once mixed with other Pokémon's toxins, Toxic's power would continuously rise.

This was why Lu Ye specifically came to training venues seeking Poison-type trainers.

Lu Ye smiled. "Just feed moves. Best to use Poison-type moves directly."

Xia Quan nodded, raising her hand to throw a Poké Ball; remarkably, a gigantic python, Arbok came out.

Ekans' pre-evolution was non-venomous, but after evolving to Arbok, it could poison Tauros in just three seconds.

Watching this terrifying cobra, Lu Ye frowned. "Try Poison Sting first."

Then Lu Ye looked at Gastly. "Remember using Koga's taught method. Never force yourself!"

Gastly had quadruple poison resistance after all. Grinning widely, it confidently nodded.

Xia Quan crossed her arms, commanding lowly, "Arbok, Poison Sting!"

"Ssss~"

Arbok flicked its tongue, rearing its fiercely patterned upper body, shooting cold light from fanged jaws.

As an Elite-level trainer, her Arbok's Poison Sting was quite swift.

But Gastly's reactions were equally excellent.

Using the Protect technique, a faint fog shield formed before Gastly, immediately slowing poison needle speed.

Then Gastly opened its gaping mouth, like eating chocolate bars, one needle at a time, 'crunch crunch' chewing sounds.

Xia Quan's expression was strange.

There's this training method?!

Even with quadruple poison resistance, never seen anyone directly eating poison needles!

Swallowing Arbok's poison needles, deep toxins seemingly flowed through Gastly's black mist, becoming increasingly profound.

"Kekeke!"

Gastly grinned, showing a proud smile.

Seeing Gastly unharmed, Lu Ye relaxed, smiling at Xia Quan. "Continue!"

Xia Quan froze momentarily, hesitating. "Arbok, Acid!"

Strong acid-like Acid shot toward Gastly. This highly corrosive liquid could weaken Pokémon's Special Defence. Even Gastly might not withstand it.

Xia Quan frowned, seeing Gastly grab Poison Gem, then its entire body directly charged toward smoke-billowing Acid!

"Sizzle."

Under Xia Quan's shocked gaze, Gastly happily shook its head in Acid, just like taking a hot bath!

"Kekeke~www!"

"Holy crap!" Xia Quan widened her eyes.

Poison Gem's shell was corroded by Acid.

Gastly was sucking the gem's internal toxic substances like marrow, even extending its crimson, long tongue, roaming back and forth.

"Slurp."

This hair-raising scene left even Xia Quan somewhat bewildered.

Even as an Elite-level Poison-type trainer, she'd never seen such a spectacle!

"Your...exactly what training method is this?" Xia Quan swallowed.

"This is way too scary!"

Lu Ye was also somewhat dazed.

Was Koga's training method this overpowered?

But reconsidering, Koga was, after all, Poison Elite Four. [Toxic Experience] was his life's work.

Plus Gastly's quadruple poison resistance characteristic, in same-level Poison-type internal battles, Gastly forever held initiative!

Lu Ye's expression was strange. "I was thinking this is my first training session..."

"How'd it suddenly become such a strong Pokémon?"
