Chapter 89 Master
Repairing a small pond is no challenge at all for the villagers of Tianshui Village, who are skilled in agricultural production.
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I'll help too."
Li Meining waved her arms, "Me too!"
See, Li Meining's innate superhuman strength has come into play.
Several villagers were responsible for digging up dry soil and putting it in their bags to repair the pond.
Li Shuwen's Pokémon and Li Meining were responsible for the transport together.
First, repair the riverbank damaged by the Shadow Ball, then build a dam to slow down the water flow, and finally clean up the silt in the pool and repair the edges of the pool that were dug out.
Finally, remove the bags filled with soil to allow the water flow to return to its normal speed.
In less than half a day, the pool was basically restored to its original state.
Watching the pool gradually fill with water, the chubby purple creature happily flew around in the sky.
The village chief wiped the sweat from his brow. "Master Li, the pond has been repaired. Gengar shouldn't be bothering our village anymore, right?"
Li Meining immediately reminded them, "There are still a hundred apples left!"
The village chief immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot about that. We'll go back now and have someone bring a hundred apples."
Li Shuwen pointed at the purple fat guy dancing in the air and said, "Village chief, you can tell from Gengar's appearance that he doesn't hold a grudge against anyone."
The village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of Master Li, he solved the problem that had been troubling Sweetwater Village for days with ease."
"It's getting late, let's have lunch at my place."
Li Shuwen shook his head, "No, I'd like to ask the village chief to help me buy some ingredients and send them over along with the hundred apples I promised Gengar."
"I plan to stay at the pond and have a meal with Gengar."
The village chief nodded, "I understand, I understand, I'll go back and make the arrangements right away."
As expected of the local owner of the Curtain City, he was willing to accept the low-priced commission from Sweetwater Village, which only offered 100,000 yen.
Moreover, it is dedicated to its duties and strives to completely eliminate Gengar's resentment.
The river filled the pool, and it returned to its original emerald green color.
The chubby purple boy happily jumped into the pool to play in the water.
Gengar felt a strong liking for Li Shuwen.
If it weren't for Li Shuwen, his home wouldn't have been repaired so quickly.
If things go wrong, he might have to move to another place.
In less than an hour, the burly man who had carried water for the village chief yesterday was carrying two large sacks up the mountain.
"Master Li, here are a hundred apples, and here are the ingredients you requested."
Li Shuwen opened his pocket to check, and after confirming that everything was correct, said, "Thank you for your help."
The burly man scratched his head. "Master Li, I wonder if the Veiled Gym accepts apprentices? My son wants to become a trainer, but I can't afford to send him to a trainer school."
At this point, the burly farmer still felt somewhat ashamed.
"I was thinking about whether I could let him study under Master Li for a period of time."
Gym apprentices don't receive a salary and are responsible for all the miscellaneous tasks at the gym, but they are provided with room and board and can learn how to raise Pokémon.
Even if you become a formal apprentice, the gym leader will provide you with your first Pokémon.
There are two ways to become a dojo apprentice: one is to pay money, and the other is to contribute your labor.
Those who pay can leave after completing their studies.
Those who contribute physical labor are required to serve the dojo after completing their training.
In fact, Li Shuwen was not ready to take on apprentices.
Seeing that Li Shuwen did not answer, the burly man knelt down before him.
"Please, Master Li, accept my son!"
"This... please get up, sir."
Li Shuwen quickly stepped forward, wanting to help the burly man up.
The burly man felt a powerful force lift him up.
As expected of a martial arts dojo, Master Li is incredibly strong!
This further strengthened the strong man's resolve to have his son become Li Shuwen's apprentice.
Li Meining also chimed in, "Brother, just accept him. It's just one more person to eat anyway."
She felt there was nothing wrong with taking on a few apprentices, as the Veil Dojo needed manpower to bolster its reputation.
The Sweetwater Village incident was handled perfectly this time, and I believe that many nearby villages and towns will seek help from the Veil Dojo in the future.
By then, she would be away on a trip, and only Li Shuwen would be making an appearance at the Curtain Dojo, which would make the Curtain Dojo seem less impressive.
Not only should we take on apprentices, but we should take on many more!
When dealing with Pokémon incidents, it's only impressive to show up with a van full of apprentices.
Li Shuwen frowned slightly. "Sir, how old is your son?"
The burly man immediately replied, "My son's name is Kai, he's 11 years old, and he often helps with farm work, so his physical condition is definitely not a problem! The dojo master can let him do anything that needs to be done."
The 11-year-old farm boy was capable enough to serve as Li Shuwen's assistant.
Li Shuwen finally nodded, "Okay, I agree to take him in."
The burly man nodded repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Master! I'll go and fetch Kai right now!"
The burly man immediately ran away, and Li Shuwen took out the kitchen utensils he carried with him and began to cook.
As the fragrance gradually spread, the chubby purple creature swimming in the pool twitched its nose.
Ghost Pokémon, too, cannot resist the temptation of delicious food.
The chubby guy immediately swam to the shore and watched eagerly as Li Shuwen prepared the dish.
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, we'll be able to eat it soon. I hurt you last night, one apple isn't enough to make amends."
"I have to treat you to a good meal, no matter what."
As the aroma grew stronger, tears streamed down the purple fat man's face.
Li Meining took out a handful of thumb-sized biscuits from her pocket and gave half to the chubby guy.
"Have something to eat first. You treated me to an apple earlier, so I'll treat you to some cookies too."
Grabbing a cookie and stuffing it into his mouth to satisfy his craving, the chubby boy thought the brother and sister were just too good to each other.
"The food is ready, let's eat."
Li Shuwen ladled a large bowl for the chubby boy and handed him a spoon.
The chubby boy imitated Li Meining, using a spoon to put food in his mouth.
Hot, hot, hot!
But it's so delicious!
Li Meining couldn't help but laugh when she saw the little face of the chubby boy sticking out his tongue to cool off.
"Blow on it before eating, and it won't feel hot."
The chubby purple creature tried it and found it wasn't hot anymore, so it happily flew through the air and enjoyed the delicious treat.
Not long after Li Shuwen's dish was ready, a spirited young man appeared by the pond with a cheerful smile.
Upon appearing, he bowed directly to Li Shuwen.
"Hello Master, I am A-Kai."
Li Shuwen looked at him. "Have you eaten? Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?"
Ah Kai shook his head, "I've already eaten at home, Master, you eat."
Li Shuwen still served him a bowl, and asked, "What kind of trainer do you want to become?"
Without hesitation, Akai replied, "I don't aspire to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and I don't even think I can win the regional championship."
"I just want to become a Pokémon Center trainer, earn money through that profession, and give my parents, younger brother, and younger sister a better life!"
A very simple and unpretentious dream.
From Akai's determined gaze, Li Shuwen believed that Akai would achieve great things.
Kai took out a Poké Ball. "Master, I've actually caught a Pokémon. Come out, Geodude."
Li Meining asked curiously, "Did you subdue the Geodude on your own?"
Kai nodded. "That's right. Little Geodude was attracted by the aroma of my roasted sweet potatoes, so I shared my roasted sweet potatoes with Little Geodude. Over time, we became friends."
Geodude volunteered to become my Pokémon.
Li Meining nodded. "So, you're really good at roasting sweet potatoes?"
Ah Kai was taken aback. "Huh?"
