Chapter 213

Catering to the demands of VIP customers.

That evening, the construction crew hurried to Teacher Luke's residence.

"Well, what a coincidence!"

The leader of the interior decoration team greeted him with a pleasant surprise in his heart.

Today's area of damage is so small... It doesn't seem to align with his family's usual preferences!

Machoke, donned in a helmet, also recognized Teacher Luke and offered a sincere salute.

The construction work took about two hours, effectively patching up holes and repainting the walls, leaving them in pristine condition.

The leader of the interior decoration team pushed away the money Luke handed over and said resolutely:

"Mr. Luke, this is a small favor. How can I be so audacious as to charge you?"

"Thanks to you, we've established ourselves in this area."

The leader of the interior decoration team said with a smile: "It's just a wall. As long as you give the word, we're at your service. Here!"

"Hao~~" Machoke flexed his muscles, his physique emanating a radiant glow.

After the construction team departed, Luke gently rubbed Growlithe's jaw, deep in thought.

He had clearly gained a new move, 'Flamethrower'...

But why did he always feel so drained?

Domestic Fire Element Pokémon indeed posed a considerable safety hazard.

Under Teacher Luke's guidance, however, Growlithe seemed to recognize its mistake with a subdued whimper.

"Alright, pay more attention next time."

Luke affectionately rubbed Growlithe's head, smiling faintly. "Get ready for tomorrow's match!"

With teary eyes, Growlithe emitted a soft whimper.

Luke had a few friends who also owned Arcanines. Their homes were not intentionally demolished but rather became victim to their excessive energy.

Letting Growlithe settle down and expending that energy through training seemed like a viable choice.

"I guess I need to be a bit more rigorous."

Luke nodded thoughtfully. "It must be exhausted to the point where it can't demolish anything!"

Over the next two days, Teacher Luke, accompanied by Growlithe, immersed themselves in training at the 'Taurus Club'.

"Jie jie~!"

Gengar, sporting sunglasses and holding a 'Blue Flute,' would blow the whistle if Growlithe showed any signs of slacking off.

Although Luke was nominally there for training, it seemed like he couldn't get involved at all.

Observing the drenched and panting Growlithe, Teacher Luke found it difficult, yet he nodded affirmatively.

"After we return, I'll make something delicious for him!"

Just then, the sun broke through the dark clouds.

Bathed in sunlight, Growlithe's eyes sparkled, and fatigue seemed to dissipate at a visible rate.

Luke paused for a moment, wearing a perplexed expression.

Almost forgot, this guy also genetically possesses Morning Sun!

Tired from tearing down the house? Just regroup with the launch of Morning Sun?

"Sloppy..." Luke smacked his forehead.

Two days passed.

Growlithe showed no signs of exhaustion, but Teacher Luke felt a bit fatigued.

In addition to becoming more proficient in 'Flamethrower,' Growlithe also mastered 'Body Slam.'

After each training session, Growlithe would excitedly move towards Luke and pounce.

If Gengar wasn't intervening, Luke suspected he'd need an X-ray...

Amidst the sparring with Growlithe, the Orient Tournament's top 32 officially commenced.

.....

October 18th, Sunday.

Teacher Luke, harboring a bit of resentment, unleashes the determined Growlithe.

Displaying a dominant stance, Growlithe effortlessly overwhelms the opponent.

The live broadcast room is bombarded with comments, and even the spectators exchange puzzled glances.

"I remember... Isn't this H-University's junior captain?"

"That's Liu Zhi, specializing in Fire Element... boasting four Badges."

"But what's the deal with this Growlithe? How does it wield such a powerful Flamethrower!"

Before anyone could answer these questions, rays of light converge on Growlithe, and the injuries on its body gradually mend...

"Damn, Morning Sun!"

"To fight and resist, it's too shameless!"

"There's a saying, this is Teacher Luke's style!"

...

On the same day, Teacher Luke breaks into the top 32 of the Orient Tournament, attracting advertising endorsements.

However, Teacher Luke, feeling out of sorts, politely declines.

"If you want a meal, find a wealthy woman; there's no need to involve endorsement businesses!" Luke mused.

"Teacher Luke's Late Night Canteen 04: Mapo Tofu," uploaded after editing, also enters the Living Area Ranking List, trailing only "Professor Oak's Backyard."

In this episode of "Professor Oak's Backyard," there is Ash's Kanto Pokémon group migration, a move from one courtyard to another, causing the ratings to soar.

Nevertheless, the "Late Night Cafeteria" series still generates considerable enthusiasm.

...

Sinnoh Region.

As a devoted water friend, Fire Element Elite Flint, slurping instant noodles, clicks on Teacher Luke's video.

Enjoying a meal with a video is always a delightful experience.

However, when Growlithe's Flamethrower appears, Flint is utterly perplexed.

"This... Isn't this the Secret Records I gave Teacher Luke?"

Flint is momentarily frozen.

In Flamethrower, combined with the vortex technique, it can enhance the likelihood of inflicting burns...

Though Squirtle intervened in time, Flint easily recognized his creation.

By all accounts, after six months of training, this shouldn't come as a surprise to Flint.

But... how much time has passed?

In a little over a month, has he thoroughly studied my techniques?

Learning moves while casually eating dishes... Doesn't it make me seem foolish in comparison?!

After an internal struggle, Flint regains composure.

"Well... after all, he is a Breeder studying Pokémon food!"

Gradually comprehending everything, Flint nods thoughtfully:

"It's all about eating. Culinary breeding skills... That makes sense!"

This video also sparks discussions in the Master chat group.

Yellow of Viridian Forest: I really want to taste it... (¯﹃¯)

Green: I followed Teacher Luke's steps, but the taste is all wrong!

Brock squints and says, "Because you didn't use Kuan Oil."

"What's Kuan Oil?!"

"A unique cooking technique in the Orient... and a pinch of salt is the same."

Brock nods and says, "I've also been studying Orient cuisine recently, and I'll make it for you next time."

Gold: Great! I'll take a maglev train and come for a meal!

Silver: ...Are you an idiot?

Blue: +1

Teacher Luke: +1

After a unanimous agreement, Crystal seems a bit surprised:

"Teacher Luke, I remember you just got Growlithe, right?"

Luke nods, "I got it two months ago."

Crystal is slightly taken aback.

So... Teacher Luke made Growlithe learn Flamethrower just by cooking...

Crystal mutters, "It's really Teacher Luke..."

Breeder Blue, pondering, then says:

"@Teacher Luke, after watching the video... Is the direction focusing on breeding with special attack as the primary output?"

Blue has also captured an Arcanine and possesses unique insights into breeding.

Arcanine's Species Strength is quite outstanding, reaching 555. It was once considered a legendary Pokémon in the Orient.

Its abilities in both offense and defense are remarkable, excelling in both output and defense.

If it learns 'Snarl' and cooperates with 'Intimidation,' the staying power would be quite impressive.

Blue secretly thinks:

Although it has mastered Flamethrower, with Teacher Luke's physique, Growlithe...

It's a shame not to engage in melee combat!

Luke is slightly surprised.

Honestly, Teacher Luke is a gaming enthusiast, but the quirks of the little fellows are bizarre...

Sylveon with a physical attack, Squirtle with unconventional development...

Yet, as long as they don't participate in the Master group, these are all minor issues!

Teacher Luke says, "I think... a balanced approach to training is sufficient..."

Blue has an epiphany.

Is it the Arcanine with physical and special attack?

Although it's challenging...

But with Teacher Luke's skills... he can handle it effortlessly!
