He left the Pokémon House.
Jiang Fan had Li Nai push him and Charmander to Lavender Town’s Pokémon Park.
Currently, many Trainers were playing with their Pokémon here, and some were undergoing special training.
“Charmander, do you believe that Poliwag can successfully use Bubble Beam after just fifty-six more practices?”
Jiang Fan glanced around, finally pointing at the Poliwag undergoing skill special training with its Trainer not far away.
Charmander looked at Jiang Fan in surprise.
Its eyes were full of doubt.
At this moment, Li Nai couldn’t help but speak:
“Jiang Fan, you’re boasting too much, aren’t you? You said Poliwag could learn Bubble Beam after fifty-six practices, and it really will?”
“Rua~”
After she finished speaking, Charmander echoed with a cry, expressing agreement.
Jiang Fan smiled and turned his head:
“How about this, Li Nai, let’s make a bet. If Poliwag really masters Bubble Beam after fifty-six times, you’ll buy an ice cream for me and Charmander each. If it doesn’t, you can make any request of me, and as long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it.”
“Alright, I accept this bet.”
Li Nai didn't hesitate at all and accepted decisively.
Then, with sparkling eyes, she stared at the Poliwag undergoing skill special training, counting its practice times.
One, two, three, four…
When it reached forty-one times, the Trainer, having not seen success for a long time, was disappointed and no longer wanted to continue the special training.
He unhappily told Poliwag to follow him home.
Li Nai saw this scene and excitedly patted the wheelchair:
“Hahaha… Jiang Fan, you lost! Poliwag is being taken home by its Trainer after its forty-first practice.”
“Rua~”
Charmander also cried out to Jiang Fan.
As if blaming him for being a liar.
“What’s the rush? Does Poliwag ending its training mean my prediction was wrong?” Jiang Fan said calmly.
After speaking, he loudly called out to the Poliwag Trainer who was about to leave.
The Trainer came to Jiang Fan, puzzled.
“Brother, don’t go home. Your Poliwag will learn Bubble Beam after fifteen more practices,” Jiang Fan said.
The Trainer’s brow immediately furrowed into a frown.
“You can try it. If it doesn’t learn, I’ll give you two thousand alliance coins,” Jiang Fan added.
The Trainer’s tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed slightly.
“Alright, brother, you said it.”
The Trainer happily turned around and continued skill training with Poliwag.
“Jiang Fan, are you crazy? Where did you get the money? If it doesn’t learn, I won’t help you pay,” Li Nai said displeasedly after he left.
She clearly remembered that when Jiang Fan applied for a job at the Pokémon House, he said his parents had both passed away and he was penniless.
That’s why the Pokémon House chose to provide him with free food and lodging.
“Don’t rush, just wait and see.” Jiang Fan shrugged.
Li Nai glared at him, then continued to focus her gaze on Poliwag, counting its skill practice times.
Forty-two times, forty-three times, forty-four times… fifty-five times, fifty-six times.
When it reached fifty-seven times, a shocking scene occurred for Li Nai.
That Poliwag seemed to have been enlightened; its tender pink mouth opened, and crystal clear bubbles the size of fists truly shot out like bullets, constantly spewing from its mouth, leaving the ground full of craters.
Li Nai covered her mouth in amazement:
“Oh my god, it really was fifty-six times! Jiang Fan, how did you figure that out?”
“I didn’t really figure it out, it was purely intuition, a genius’s intuition.” Jiang Fan’s mouth curved upwards, and he looked at Charmander, “I am a super genius among Trainers.”
Charmander looked at the suddenly arrogant Jiang Fan, a little awestruck.
It recalled the scene where he said it was a Pokémon super genius.
“Brother, you were right! My Poliwag really learned Bubble Beam after fifteen times.”
At this moment, Poliwag’s Trainer came to Jiang Fan with an excited expression, tightly grasping his hand.
“How did you figure this out? It’s too miraculous.”
“I also have a Pidgeotto that needs skill special training. Can you help me take a look? I’ll give you two thousand alliance coins as a reward.”
Facing the Poliwag Trainer’s excitement, Jiang Fan was very calm.
“Don’t rush. You should let Poliwag use Bubble Beam a few more times now to see if it has truly mastered it.”
“Right, right, right.”
The Poliwag Trainer immediately urged Poliwag to try a few more Bubble Beams.
And the final result was that the subsequent few attempts were also successfully performed.
The Poliwag Trainer immediately became even more excited.
“Brother, I beg you, please help me look at my Pidgeotto too. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
He anxiously took out his phone, wanting to pay the money first.
Jiang Fan didn’t refuse and took out his own phone.
To establish an awesome image in front of Charmander, one proof wasn't enough; multiple proofs were best.
And it was a great way to earn some money for his poor self.
After the transfer, the Poliwag Trainer immediately took out a Poké Ball.
A red light flashed, and a Pidgeotto was released.
“Brother, my Pidgeotto is currently undergoing special training for the Twister skill, but it’s been half a month, and I haven’t seen any progress.”
“How many more times do you think I need to train it?”
The Poliwag Trainer looked at Jiang Fan expectantly.
Li Nai and Charmander also looked at Jiang Fan after hearing this.
They wanted to see what Jiang Fan would say this time.
Jiang Fan, however, scrutinized the Pidgeotto, and his eyebrows gradually rose.
Then he shook his head:
“Brother, temporarily stop this skill special training. Your Pidgeotto cannot learn Twister yet. Your practice will only be in vain.”
In the information bar for the Pidgeotto in front of him, the Twister skill did not appear.
As a mandatory skill, yet it didn’t appear, the only possible reason for this situation was that this Pidgeotto’s current level was not high enough, not having reached the minimum requirement for learning.
“Can’t learn it? Why?”
The Trainer’s expression instantly became a bit unhappy.
As if he wanted to demand the money he just transferred back.
“Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking.”
Facing the other party’s change in expression, Jiang Fan remained unperturbed,
“You currently have two solutions. One is to take your Pidgeotto to battle other Pokémon more, and then learn after its combat level increases. The other is to take it for special training in other skills.”
“Special training for other skills? What skills?”
The Trainer directly ignored the first method.
“Steel Wing.” Jiang Fan calmly uttered two words.
Although the Twister skill was not displayed in the information bar, there was a skill, Steel Wing, that showed as learnable.
And when the Trainer heard Jiang Fan say Steel Wing, he was first stunned.
Then he slapped his hand excitedly:
“I remember now! Last month, I took Pidgeotto out into the wild and encountered a Skarmory, and we battled it.”
“At that time, Pidgeotto’s wings briefly showed a silver light. I wondered if it was Steel Wing, and afterwards, I took it for Steel Wing skill special training, but the scene from that time never reappeared, so I thought I had seen wrong and stopped the special training.”
“Then let it practice eighty-nine more times and see.” Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, the Trainer was immediately filled with fighting spirit.
“Alright, I’ll take it for special training now.”
He turned around and took Pidgeotto for Steel Wing skill special training.
While it was undergoing special training, Jiang Fan suddenly spoke:
“Li Nai, do you still remember our bet just now? Buy an ice cream for me and Charmander each.”
Li Nai’s expression changed.
She had thought the other party had forgotten.
She then made a face behind Jiang Fan’s back and left.
When she returned with the ice cream, she saw the Pidgeotto undergoing special training, its wings showing a silver light.
Although it only lasted for a brief two seconds, it proved Jiang Fan’s statement.
This Pidgeotto could truly learn Steel Wing.
“Besides being a top-notch actor, this guy seems to have real ability,” she couldn’t help but think to herself.
More than an hour later.
The Pidgeotto, having practiced eighty-nine times, successfully performed a true Steel Wing, directly cutting through a piece of gym equipment in the park.
Although he had to pay for the damages afterwards, the Trainer laughed heartily, satisfied with the result.
Returning to Jiang Fan, he excitedly tried to transfer another two thousand alliance coins as thanks, and also asked for his contact information for future convenience.
Their situation had already attracted the attention of other Trainers.
Upon learning that Jiang Fan could accurately determine whether a Pokémon could master the skill it wanted to learn, and the number of times it needed to practice, they all swarmed him.
They wanted Jiang Fan to help them check the progress of their Pokémon’s special training.
They had long been fed up with the uncertainty of whether special training would be successful and just wanted a definite answer.
Facing the requests of many Trainers, Jiang Fan firmly told them to come back tomorrow.
Because having proven himself, he needed to focus his attention on Charmander.
After these people left, Jiang Fan turned to look at Charmander.
He said softly:
“Now, do you think my words are credible?”
