Chapter 349 How capable are you?
Chapter 349 How capable are you?
Li Luochen was a little confused about the situation.
He originally thought that Coral had called Emegio over to talk about the Dream Group, the alternate Zygarde, or some secret mission.
But to my utter surprise...
The first thing Amegio said when he walked in was that he wanted to become his apprentice and become his student.
This plot twist was so sudden!
In fact, Emegio was specifically sent by Gibing to study as an apprentice.
As the grandson of Ji Bing, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Ji Meng Group, Amegio has been strictly trained as the group's heir since birth.
But that's precisely where the problem lies.
Neither the Mizuki Group nor the Exploration Team has any top-tier trainers they can boast about.
If things continue like this, Gibing knows very well that his grandson Emezio will almost certainly never be truly recognized by Zygarde in the future.
Without the strength, one cannot control that strange-colored divine beast.
That's why he made arrangements early on so that Amegio would take Li Luochen as his master whenever he had the chance!
If Zygarde could learn even a tiny bit of skill from Li Luochen, he would definitely acknowledge Emegio.
This was Ji Bing's plan.
As for whether Li Luochen is willing to accept this apprentice...
Ji Bing had prepared a backup plan from the very beginning!
Without saying much, Amegio took out a neatly sealed letter from his pocket, held it with both hands, and solemnly handed it to Li Luochen: "This is a letter in my grandfather's handwriting that he asked me to give to you."
Li Luochen opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and quietly read it.
The handwriting on the letter was steady and powerful, carrying the weight of experience gained through life; it was indeed Ji Bing's own handwriting.
Hello, young man.
I am Ji Bing, the founder of Jimeng Group.
I knew your father for many years and could be considered one of the mentors who guided him on his path to becoming a trainer. I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing and deeply admired his perseverance and sense of responsibility.
I asked Amegio to become your apprentice for two reasons: first, I hope he can truly grow by your side and gain Zygarde's approval; second, out of consideration for my past relationship with your father, I wish to do my part to protect you for a while.
If you have any needs in the future, or if you want to know about your father's past, you can contact me through Amegio.
You and he can support each other and rely on each other.
Respectfully submitted by Ji Bing.
Li Luochen held the letter in his hand, his gaze darkening slightly, and he remained silent for a moment.
What's so special about this?
I suddenly found myself with an old man?
Moreover, this old man is a ruthless person who possesses a different color Zygarde!
"Zigelder, are you sure it's true?"
Li Luochen chose to ask the living fossil on his side, Zygard.
"I believe this to be true."
Kidd nodded slightly.
Just now, it learned about the situation from another of its core members.
It really is just as described in this letter.
The intention was to have Amegio come and learn from Li Luochen.
"Since that's the case, then I'll reluctantly accept you."
Li Luochen looked at Amegio, his tone somewhat casual, "But let me make this clear from the start: if you want to become my apprentice, you must pass through layers of trials and establish yourself through your own abilities. Can you accept that?"
Upon hearing this, Amegio's eyes hardened, and without the slightest hesitation, he replied, "I can!"
He was certain that as long as he fought alongside Azure Flame Blade Demon, they could overcome any trial!
"Very good." Li Luochen nodded. "Make your preparations briefly, and we will begin the first trial immediately."
"So fast?"
Amegio was slightly taken aback, completely unprepared for the trial to come so suddenly, leaving no time even for him to adjust his state.
There is an old saying in Donghuang: "Speed is of the essence in war."
Li Luochen smiled faintly and slowly spoke: "Exploring secret realms and vying for resources, if you're even a step behind, someone else will seize the initiative; everything in this world changes in an instant, and plans can never keep up with changes. Only by remaining vigilant at all times and acting decisively can you protect yourself and your companions in dangerous situations. What I'm about to teach you is the first principle for surviving in this world!"
Amegio was truly intimidated by Li Luochen's high-sounding reasoning, and for a moment he couldn't find a single word to refute it, so he could only stand there dumbfounded.
He had originally wanted to buy some time to prepare, but the other party's explanation made it seem like he was the one who didn't know the rules and wasn't composed enough!
"As expected of a trainer highly regarded by my grandfather, his vision and perspective are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people..."
Amegio was secretly amazed, and his gaze toward Li Luochen held a newfound respect.
"What about Coral Sauce? What's Coral going to do next? Don't leave me here in this unfamiliar place!"
Coral, who was watching the two chatting enthusiastically from the side, suddenly felt out of place, like an unwanted outsider.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she panicked instantly.
Oh no, have I been treated like fast food and then discarded, becoming an unwanted pawn?!
"you?"
Li Luochen casually raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Amegio, and asked casually, "Speaking of which, what was this little brat originally sent here for?"
Amegio answered very honestly, "Grandpa said her job was to lure you out."
Li Luochen was speechless for a moment.
So this little guy was just a guide and a tool from beginning to end, right?
He glanced at Coral, who was huddled to the side, looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears, and said lazily, "Fine, from today onwards, you will be my personal maid."
"What am I responsible for?"
"Another inch."
"???"
"Okay, I'm just kidding. From now on, you just need to give me massages."
Li Luochen patted Shanhu, making her tremble with anger.
"Massage? Don't you know Coral isn't very capable? You're only offering me a massage position? You'll regret this!"
Coral showed off her little tiger teeth, looking quite adorable with her claws outstretched.
"Really? How capable are you?"
"I can sell a ton of merchandise in a single day!"
"oh."
"What are you disappointed about?"
"It's nothing. From now on, besides giving me massages, you can also go and set up a stall with those three from before to sell things."
Li Luochen also arranged a suitable position for Shanhu.
Speaking of which...
Is having Corsola do chores for Team Rocket the same as having Ash's Pikachu do chores for Team Rocket?

"Alright, Amegio, your break is over. The first trial officially begins!"
As soon as Li Luochen finished speaking, Amegio was startled and blurted out instinctively, "So fast?!"
Li Luochen glanced at him, her tone flat and matter-of-fact:
"Of course it'll be quick! Didn't I say we'd only rest for a little while? If this preparation time is too short, how will we deal with unexpected situations in the secret realm later?"
