Reborn in Pokémon, my background is super hard

Xiaoyou took back Swampert, and he didn't seem to be unwilling at all. Seeing Xiaoyou's state, Wutong was more certain of his thoughts.

"Xiaoyou, you are probably imitating the fighting style of my Swampert?" Wutong walked up to Xiaoyou and asked.

"Yes, Senior Wutong, I hope to become a Pokémon trainer who fights as handsomely as Senior Wutong!" Xiaoyou said without hesitation.

Xiaoyou's straightforward words made Wutong feel a little embarrassed. After all, sincerity is the killer skill.

"Okay, that's how it is. Xiaoyou, don't imitate my Swampert anymore." Wutong nodded and said seriously.

"Eh...why? Is it because I'm too weak? Do you feel ashamed, Senior Wutong? I...I will work harder..." Xiaoyou said a little at a loss after hearing Wutong's words.

"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die. Do you know what this sentence means?" Wutong continued to ask.

Wutong's question made Xiaoyou look confused.

"To put it simply, what it means is that you can learn my fighting style and understand my fighting intentions, but if you simply imitate me, it will only ruin your career as a trainer. Don't you think you failed too easily just now?" Wutong said.

"But... I definitely can't beat you, Senior Wutong." Xiaoyou seemed full of confidence in Wutong's victory.

Wutong sighed helplessly.

"That's your other problem. Don't you desire to win at all?" Wutong asked.

Xiaoyou is a bit like Hong Yongzhi, and it seems to be natural for him to lose to Wutong.

Hong Yongzhi was under too much pressure and had a deep shadow because of himself, which made him subconsciously shrink whenever he faced himself.

Xiaoyou, on the other hand, was too obsessed with Wutong and had a blind confidence in his ability. He believed that Wutong could win even more than Wutong himself.

But on the other hand, this also made Xiaoyou have no desire to win when facing Wutong.

How can a Pokémon trainer who has no desire to win achieve victory?

"I really want to win, but when I face Senior Wutong, I feel like... I have no hope of winning." Xiaoyou also understood what Wutong meant at this time and replied in a low voice.

"You don't think I'm invincible, do you? You know, I can name a lot of people that I'm sure I can't beat." Wutong felt a headache when he thought of those superstar champions.

"And since I started traveling until now, I've lost a lot... No, I've lost some... Anyway, I've lost." Wutong continued.

Wutong suddenly found that he seemed to be going pretty smoothly all the way. Could it be that he was actually the invincible protagonist? But why didn't he feel that kind of brainless pleasure?

"In short, don't blindly imitate me, and don't think that I am invincible. Once you can do these, you will be a Pokémon trainer that I can recognize." Wutong said.

"I understand, Senior Wutong! I will definitely make you recognize me!" Xiaoyou nodded vigorously and said.

On the outskirts of Zijin City, Wutong, Xiaoyou and Manchong parted ways.

Wutong is going to embark on the journey of obtaining the badge again, and Xiaoyou is preparing to practice again because of Wutong's words. As Xiaoyou's travel companion, Manchong naturally has to act together.

Zijin City is far away from Yinyu City, and there are many towns and special places in between. Wutong naturally would not waste time on this relatively long journey.

While training the Pokémon all the way, Wutong also brought Swampert with him.

On two stones standing side by side, Wutong and Swampert were sitting cross-legged on them.

Each person slowly enjoyed the breath of one Pokémon, and their breathing rates gradually became uniform. This was a special training to allow Swampert to mega evolve better in the future.

With the tacit understanding between Wutong and Swampert, mega evolution is not a problem. The key is how to better stimulate the power after mega evolution.

Ultimately, Mega Evolution is also a power that relies on bonds and tends to be idealistic. Therefore, the deeper the bond between the trainer and Pokémon, the stronger the power it inspires.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Wutong said after another round of deep breathing.

"Rag~" Swampert responded and stretched his body which was stiff from long-term meditation.

"Rotom, how far is it to the next town?" Wutong took out his cell phone and asked Rotom.

"The next nearest town is Changshou Town. Normally it will take a week to get there, but there is a shortcut you can try Lotom~" said Mobile Rotom.

"Then let's take the shortcut." Wutong said without any hesitation, but soon Wutong regretted his decision.
