Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Settling the World Through Martial Arts

Maylene excitedly rushed in front of Julian.

"No, why can you use Aura? I’m clearly the one who’s Riolu’s Trainer!"

Julian smiled.

"Being Riolu’s Trainer doesn’t mean you’ll definitely be able to use Aura. Aura is a talent. Unfortunately, you don’t have that talent."

"But not having Aura doesn’t mean you definitely can’t train Riolu well. As long as you and Riolu become of one mind, you can strengthen Riolu’s Aura!"

Maylene blinked.

"Really?"

Maylene’s face was full of disbelief.

Kai looked at Julian excitedly.

"Master, do I have talent for Aura?"

Julian shook his head.

"You don’t either, but your Fighting talent is extremely outstanding."

Aura could not be learned after birth. At least, Julian had not grasped a method of awakening Aura later in life, nor did he have the Eight Gates to teach Kai.

Julian thought of something very suitable for Kai to learn.

Bajiquan!

Originally, he had not planned to let Kai view the Scroll of Darkness this early.

But Kai truly did have talent.

And even without using Aura, Julian could sense that Kai was a pure and good person.

There was no need to worry about teaching a villian.

Julian entered his room and took out the Scroll of Darkness for Kai to observe.

"By studying this scroll, you can learn a legendary fist art. Although you won’t have Aura, it can let you train true qi. Once you have true qi, you can become an outstanding martial artist."

Kai using Wicked Blow — how was that not another kind of Night Guy?

Kai bowed excitedly.

"Master, I’ll definitely study seriously. I absolutely won’t disappoint your expectations!"

Compared to Maylene, who had learned Bajiquan easily by looking at the illustrations in the Scroll of Darkness, Kai’s speed of learning Bajiquan was much slower.

He did not choose to look through all of Bajiquan’s moves at once.

He stared fixedly at the first move, repeatedly pondering it and practising it over and over again.

Kai’s comprehension could not be considered especially good, but his perseverance and recovery physique were absolutely rare in this world.

His attainment in Bajiquan might even become higher than Maylene’s.

In any case, when Julian looked at the two of them, it was like watching the tortoise and the hare.

Maylene, this rabbit, might not necessarily run farther than Kai, this tortoise.

Julian looked at Maylene.

"Maylene, prepare Veilstone Gym’s secret medicine for Kai. After training Bajiquan, Kai’s body will need the secret medicine to supplement his nutrition."

Maylene smiled and shook her head.

"The secret medicine isn’t cheap. Looks like Kai is going to work for you for free for the rest of his life~"

Julian glared at Maylene.

"Why are you talking so much!"

Kai stopped practising his fist art.

"Master taught me such a special technique. Even if I work for Master for free for the rest of my life, that’s only right!"

Julian waved his hand.

"It definitely won’t be for life, but for the first three years, I’ll only be responsible for your food and drink. After that, I’ll pay you according to your performance."

Kai nodded excitedly.

"Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely perform well. Today, I’m going to practise the first form of Bajiquan one thousand times. If I don’t finish, I won’t eat dinner!"

Maylene took out a bottle of secret medicine.

"Drink it after you finish practising. But if you don’t eat dinner, who’s responsible for cooking dinner?"

Kai nodded.

"Then I’ll cook dinner first and continue training afterwards!"

Julian waved his hand.

"All right, stop teasing Kai."

Darius, who had disappeared to who knew where for the past few days, suddenly appeared.

"Why do I see our backyard under construction? What are you planning to build?"

Maylene looked at her father’s filthy appearance and asked, "Dad, what did you go off to do?"

Darius proudly said, "I went out to sea to fish."

Maylene stretched out her hand.

"Then where’s the fish?"

Darius answered righteously, "Didn’t catch any!"

Julian beckoned.

"Dad, you came back at just the right time. I’ll leave Veilstone Gym to you to receive challengers for the next few days. I’m taking Maylene to the Safari Zone."

"She’s about to go travelling. Having more Pokémon on hand will make it easier to deal with the complicated environments in the wild."

Darius’s eyes widened.

"Julian, how can you feel at ease letting Maylene travel alone?"

Julian nodded.

"That’s why I specifically found her a companion. It’s Reggie’s younger brother, Paul."

Darius suddenly understood.

"That little guy who gets first place on every exam? If he’s travelling with Maylene, that really does make people feel reassured."

Julian then looked at Kai.

"Kai, after I leave, help me keep an eye on him. Make sure he stays honestly at the Gym and accepts Trainers’ challenges."

"The Gym’s cleaning and Dad’s Pokémon’s three meals a day will also be your responsibility."

With Kai watching him, Darius would not be released by Maylene to go play games like last time.

Kai immediately nodded.

"Yes, Master!"

Darius’s eyes widened.

"Julian, you even accepted an apprentice!"

He had only gone out to sea to fish for a few days. How had such a big change happened at home?

Julian calmly nodded.

"That’s right. Next, Veilstone Gym will gradually operate normally like other Gyms. After I participate in the Gym ranking competition..."

"Veilstone Gym should flourish in my hands."

Darius nodded firmly.

"As expected of my son!"

Julian rolled his eyes. That line made it sound as if he had been raised into this by Darius.

"Kai, although my dad isn’t very reliable, he is a decent martial artist. If there’s anything about Bajiquan you don’t understand, you can ask him."

When Darius saw the Scroll of Darkness, his eyes widened in shock.

"Where did you get such a peerless martial art, Julian? With this scroll, Veilstone Gym’s inheritance can be stably passed down!"

"Just by looking at it twice, I can feel how incredible it is!"

Julian raised an eyebrow.

"A friend gave it to me. If you’re interested, you can look at it and practise."

Darius smiled.

"I’ll pass. I’m old now. Even if I practise, I won’t achieve much. Veilstone Gym belongs to young people like you!"

With Darius’s talent, if he could pull himself together, even at the advanced age of nearly forty, training Bajiquan would still let him achieve very good results.

Maylene’s martial arts talent, which let her learn Bajiquan by looking at the illustrations, had been completely inherited from Darius.

Darius had trained for many years, and with one glance, he could see the uniqueness of the Scroll of Darkness.

But his motivation had eroded. For Darius to maintain his current level was already very difficult.

Julian called Paul.

"Paul, I’m planning to take you and Maylene to the Safari Zone."

"You two can go in and see if there are any Pokémon you want to catch. That way, travelling will be a little safer. Then I’ll send you directly to Sandgem Town to take a ship to the Kanto region."

"We can also visit Professor Rowan while we’re there."

Paul raised an eyebrow. Originally, he did not particularly want to go to the Safari Zone to catch Pokémon, but since they were going to visit Professor Rowan afterwards, then this Safari Zone trip was necessary.

As a Trainer with excellent character and grades, Paul definitely wanted to visit Professor Rowan and ask him about some doubts in his heart.

"Sure. When do we set off? I really want to ask Professor Rowan for guidance in person."

"Tomorrow. I’ll rent a car and drive directly to the Safari Zone. Then..."

Right.

He could ask Professor Rowan about Croagunk’s problem!

Julian shook his head. He really had been looking for difficult methods when there’s an easier one right in front of him.

"Then we’ll go directly to Professor Rowan’s lab and stay one night. When the time comes, if you have any questions, you can ask Professor Rowan directly."
