Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 806 Alolan Meowth's Revenge

Li Shuwen waved his hand, and the fairy spirit appeared from the white light.

Meow Meow made the first move, pouncing on the fairy elf, its claws glowing with a thick, inky black light.

The fairy's ribbons quickly lit up with a dazzling metallic luster, and she lashed out at Meow Meow with a whip.

Meow Meow was knocked to the ground and rolled several times before regaining its balance, but immediately bounced up.

"Meow!"

With a low whimper, the black light on its paws grew even stronger than before, and Meow Meow charged at the fairy spirit once more.

"Magic Flash".

In an instant, the fairy's body lit up with a pink light.

The magical beam of light struck in the blink of an eye!

Meow Meow was knocked away again, landing on the ground, panting heavily.

Covered in wounds and with trembling legs, Meow Meow stubbornly got up and looked at the fairy spirit, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Li Shuwen said, "Let's stop here. Meow Meow, do you think my strength is sufficient now?"

"Have something to eat, so you can get a feel for what your future work meals will be like."

Li Shuwen squatted down, took out some Pokémon food from his backpack, and placed it in front of Meow Meow.

Meow Meow sniffed it, hesitated for a moment, and then started eating it in big bites, instantly conquered by the fragrant and rich flavor of the elf food.

The tongue licked the plate clean.

Miaomiao looked up at Li Shuwen, her eyes no longer filled with hostility, but with expectation.

"Meow!"

Miaomiao agreed to work for Li Shuwen, as long as her meals would be at the same standard every day.

Moreover, Meow Meow could sense that the fairy elf hadn't gone all out just now.

If he could become as powerful as the fairies and elves, then he could go back... for revenge!

Seeing the fleeting hatred in Miao Miao's eyes, Li Shuwen immediately realized it was related to the scratches on Miao Miao's eyes.

After eating curry rice, Li Shuwen and the other two took a boat back to Meile Meile Island.

On the ship, Hala asked, "Now that we've found a talented Meowth, is there still any need to hold the Alola Cat Elite Championship?"

Li Shuwen nodded and said, "Of course we will do it. As long as Miaomiao has the talent and strength, she is not afraid of competing with other cat leaders."

Cynthia agreed, saying, "If Meowth doesn't win first place in the King Selection Tournament, it means Meowth isn't the Dark-type overlord we're looking for."

Meow let out a low growl and gently wagged his tail; he was equally unafraid of competition.

Li Shuwen rubbed his head. "Very good, very energetic."

Back at Hala's house, Hala said, "Since Meow Meow is being bred for Melemele Island, I will take care of the costs of raising him."

"Meow Meow is staying at my house for the time being. I'm going to find tools and planks to build a house for Meow Meow in the yard."

The fairy stood in the center of the arena, with ribbons fluttering gently behind her.

Meow Meow squatted opposite him, her eyes fixed on the silver ribbon, her pupils reflecting a metallic luster.

Li Shuwen squatted down next to Miaomiao and pointed at the fairy's tail.

"Look carefully, Iron Tail doesn't harden its tail; it concentrates energy on the surface of its tail to form an invisible armor."

"With this layer of armor, the tail can remain both flexible and sufficiently rigid."

The fairy's ribbons shone with a silvery-white light, and one of them lashed out at a nearby wooden stake, snapping it in half with a smooth, mirror-like cut.

Meow's eyes were wide open.

Li Shuwen let Miaomiao try it herself.

Meow's tail lit up with a silvery-white light, but the light only lasted halfway before it dispersed, like a candle blown out by the wind.

Meow Meow frowned and tried again, but it still didn't work.

It stared at the fairy's tail, then at its own tail, lost in thought.

Then he did something that no one expected.

"Meow!"

The fairy spirit was stunned for a moment.

Meowed again, and the fairy's eyes lit up.

Looking at this thin little cat, a sense of respect welled up in my heart.

I never expected that Meow Meow would actually experience this training method firsthand.

The ribbons fluttered, and silvery-white light gathered, before one of them lashed out and struck Meow Meow's back.

Meow Meow was sent flying, rolled several times on the ground, got up, shook off the dirt, and came back.

The fairy sprite lashed out with her tail again, and Meow Meow was sent flying once more.

The second time, the third time.

When it got up for the third time, Meow Meow's eyes lit up, and it rushed towards the fairy spirit, its tail shining with a silvery-white light.

This time, the light did not fade!

Iron Tail, Meow Meow is here!

The fairy's ribbons lit up with the same light, blocking Meow Meow's attack.

The two tails collided, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Meow Meow was knocked away.

Li Shuwen squatted down and sprayed medicine on Miaomiao's wounds.

"Fairy, next you and Meowth will fight with Iron Tail to hone Meowth's proficiency and application skills."

"Rest when you're tired, and continue when you're recovered."

In just one afternoon, Meow Meow used her Iron Tail skillfully.

Hala prepared a wooden cat house for Meow Meow, complete with soft cushions and a small scratching post.

Meow Meow circled the cat house once, then crawled inside, rolled around in it, poked her head out, and meowed at Hala.

Cynthia crouched down and reached out to touch the mat in the cat house.

"This cat bed is so big and comfortable. I never expected Uncle Hara to be such a good cook."

Hala waved his hand. "My skills are only average; there are plenty of people more professional than me."

Li Shuwen busied himself in the kitchen for a while and then brought out a bowl of specially made elf food.

Meow Meow sniffed it, took a bite, and its eyes widened instantly.

They wolfed down their food, licking the bowl clean.

Then he looked up at Li Shuwen, his eyes clearly asking if there was more.

Li Shuwen filled another bowl, and after Miao Miao finished eating, her belly was round and full. She lay on the ground without moving, her eyes squinting contentedly.

That night, Li Shuwen had Meow Meow attack with Iron Tail, while Sylveon used U-turn to dodge.

Meow Meow's iron tail lashed out again and again, and the fairy spirit dodged it by drawing arcs in the air each time.

Meow Meow's iron tail missed its mark, but instead of being disappointed when it landed, its eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Meow Meow has taken a liking to the Swallow Return skill.

Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, instructing the fairy elf to teach Meow Meow the Swallow Return technique.

Meow Meow leaped up, mimicking the movements of fairies and elves, and swirled in the air.

He lost his balance halfway through the turn and fell heavily to the ground.

Get up, try again, fall again.

He tried again, and he fell again.

Hau stood to the side, watching Miaomiao fall down again and again, and couldn't help but want to go up and help her up, but was stopped by Hala.

"Let it do itself," Li Shuwen said.

Meow Meow fell more than twenty times, covered in injuries, but he still refused to stop.

Li Shuwen squatted down and placed his palm on Miaomiao's head, slowly letting the power of the wave guide seep in, soothing its tired body and mind.

"That's enough. We'll practice again tomorrow."

Meow Meow struggled to get up, but the power of the wave guide made him relax, close his eyes, and fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Shuwen had Ha Wu and Mu Mu Xiao join the Swallow Return training together.

Rowlet has wings, so it learns much faster than Meowth. It quickly mastered the trick and drew beautiful arcs in the air.

Meow Meow watched from the side, her eyes full of envy.

Leaping again and again, spinning again and again, falling down again and again.

After a morning, Rowlet was using Swallow Return with great skill, while Meowth could only barely learn it.

Li Shuwen patted Miaomiao's head.

"Don't rush it. Pokémon without wings need a lot of time to practice Aerial Ace."

The fairy nodded in agreement, recalling how he had also suffered a lot back then.

"This afternoon we will learn the Dark Strike Weak Point skill, which is your elemental skill, so it will be much easier for you to learn."

In the afternoon, Li Shuwen sent out the Jade-Washing Greatsword Ghost.

The Greatsword Demon emerged from the white light, his figure upright, with two shell swords hanging at his waist. His powerful aura caused Hau and Owl to look at him with admiration.

Meow Meow wasn't intimidated by the aura; instead, she was eager to try and see just how powerful the Greatsword Demon really was.

The Greatsword Demon drew a sword, signaling Meow Meow to attack.

Meow Meow didn't hold back and lashed out with its iron tail.

The Greatsword Demon blocked with its shell sword and gently pushed Meow Meow back.

Then he drew his sword and launched a sneak attack on a vital spot.

Dark, malevolent energy coalesced on the blade. With a single strike, it caught up with Meow Meow and stopped an inch above its head.

The black light on the blade reflected in Meow Meow's eyes, and Meow Meow's legs trembled, but he still did not retreat.

Hau couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The Greatsword Demon is amazing! I didn't even see the speed of that sword strike before it caught up with Meow Meow. And it was able to stop at the last moment. Its control is incredible."

After an afternoon, Li Shuwen was surprised to find that Miao Miao had not only learned how to ambush vital points, but had also learned the Water Pulse technique from the Greatsword Demon.

Greatsword Demon nodded in satisfaction. Meow Meow was very talented, which made Greatsword Demon want to teach Meow Meow a little more.

Meow opened its mouth, and a water ball condensed, not very big, but very stable.

Moen arrived with Gladgio; their voices preceded their arrival.

"Shuwen, you're raising Meowth anyway, and you're raising Gladion and Eevee too. Why not let my son experience the influence of your Midas touch as well?"

Li Shuwen nodded helplessly. "Fine, you guys are treating me like an elementary school teacher."

Cynthia laughed and said, "Why don't we invite Haphu to come and learn too?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "Sure. Studying together with more people is good for their development."

He thought for a moment and said to Moen, "Ask Aura if you want Acerola to come and learn with you too."

"The children are about the same age, so we can have them all go to Principal Naruya's school together."

Hala originally wanted to keep Hawu at home and teach him himself, but Li Shuwen said that the school was better, so he naturally let Hawu go to school.

Aura received Moen's call and readily agreed, bringing Acerola with her.

The four children quickly became good friends.

Aura stroked his chin.

"Acerola doesn't have a single Pokémon yet. Shuwen, you're a Pokémon expert, what kind of Pokémon do you think I should get for Acerola?"

Li Shuwen could sense Acerola's unique talent.

"She can interact with these adorable ghost Pokémon: Misdreavus, Treant, Pumpkin, and Mimikyu."

Aura thought for a moment. "How about Doronmesia?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "Of course, it's just that it won't be as quick to learn. But for Acerola, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Another three days passed.

Meow Meow has become more agile and stronger than before. Its fur is shiny, its eyes are sharp as knives, its claws are sharp, and its tail is strong and powerful.

Li Shuwen looked at it and nodded.

"Meow, you and the fairy spirit will have another fight today."

Four children stood around the edge of the field and shouted in unison:

"Go Meow Meow!"

Meow Meow made the first move, opening its mouth and condensing water waves into a water ball, which it shot towards the fairy spirit.

The fairy's ribbons glowed with a purple light, and the Shadow Ball collided and exploded with the Water Pulse, splashing water everywhere.

Meow Meow burst out of the smoke and dust of the explosion, its iron tail shining with a silvery-white light as it lashed out at the fairy spirit.

The fairy's ribbons shone with the same light as her iron tail blocked the attack.

Then, the fairy's body drew an arc in the air.

Swallows return.

The ribbon swept over Meow Meow's iron tail and lashed across Meow Meow's back.

Meow Meow was knocked away and rolled several times on the ground.

Before it could even get up, the fairy's moon power slammed down, sending Meow Meow flying once again.

Gladgio clenched his fist.

"Meow..."

Hapuu's eyes reddened.

"Stand up, meow!"

Meow Meow got up from the ground, covered in wounds, and looked at the fairy elf with eyes full of defiance.

He roared to the sky, his body radiating a white light of evolution.

In the light, its body began to elongate, its fur changed from messy gray to smooth iron gray, a blue gem grew on its forehead, and the three scratch marks on its eyes became more conspicuous in the light of evolution.

The leader of the Alola cats looks like a little tiger, very majestic.

The cat boss confidently swung its tail, its iron tail gleaming with a silvery-white light, and charged towards the fairy elf.

The fairy's body traced an arc in the air, returning like a swallow.

The cat's iron tail missed its mark, and the fairy's ribbon struck the cat's back, sending him flying.

The cat boss crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Gladion waved his fist, "Sylveon is so cool! Her Aerial Ace was so skillful, Palico couldn't hit her at all."

Li Shuwen treats the eldest cat.

After waking up, the cat boss looked at Li Shuwen with eyes as sharp as knives.

He called out.

Li Shuwen used his waveguide power to sense and understand Cat Boss's thoughts.

He wants to go back for revenge.

"Okay. I'll take you back."

When everyone heard that Cat Boss was going back for revenge, they all clamored to go with him, and the four children were incredibly excited.

Li Shuwen, along with her four children and Shirona, traveled to Akala Island.

The habitat of the cat leader group: a dozen cat leaders and meows are lazily sunbathing in an open space.

The leader of the cats walked into the group alone, his steps steady, each step carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

The cat leaders and meows who were dozing off all raised their heads and looked at this unfamiliar fellow cat with wary eyes.

The cat leader walked up to the cat chief and let out a low growl.

The leader of the cats stood up; he was a size larger than the previous leader, and his fur was shiny and glossy.

The surrounding cats and meows dispersed, making room for them.

The cat leader struck first, launching a sneak attack on vital points. Its claws glowed with black light, moving with lightning speed as it grabbed at the cat leader.

The cat leader sidestepped and swooped back, its arc passing through the gaps between its claws, causing the cat leader's sneak attack to miss its vital points.

The cat boss's iron tail shone with a silvery-white light, and it lashed out at the cat boss's waist.

The cat leader was knocked away and rolled on the ground.

He got up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

With its mouth open, a jet-black beam of evil energy blasted towards the cat boss.

The cat boss's figure arced through the air once more, using a backflip to dodge the evil energy and crashing into the cat boss from the side, sending him flying again.

The cat boss roared, and golden lightning crackled around its body—100,000 volts!

The golden bolt of electricity struck the cat leader, charring his entire body black, causing his fur to stand on end and black smoke to billow from his mouth.

A purple Z-Crystal fell from the cat leader's body and landed on the ground.

The cat leader stepped forward, picked up the evil Z crystal, turned around and left without looking back.

Li Shuwen watched Cat Boss's retreating figure and slowly spoke.

"Back then, Meow Meow found this Z-Crystal, but it was stolen by the leader of the cats, who beat her severely and drove her out of the clan."

"He worked so hard so that he would have the strength to come back and take revenge today."

Hapu clenched his fist. "How could that cat leader be so wicked!"

Gladion held Eevee in his arms, looking at the cat with eyes full of admiration.

"Boss Cat is so inspiring."

Acerola closed the book in her hands and said softly:

"He must be having a very tough time."

Ha Wu watched the departing figure of Cat Boss and took a deep breath. "Brother Shuwen, I will work hard with Mumu Xiao."

"One day, I too will defeat my opponent honorably, just like Boss Cat."

Sunlight shone on the back of the cat boss, making its iron-gray fur gleam.

He walked steadily without looking back.

Behind them, the leader of the cats lay on the ground, his body charred black, watching the departing figure with a complex expression in his eyes.
