Chương 5: Come to my bowl!

"Miss Cattleya, this is your private training room. As a valued Platinum member of our hotel, you have unlimited access to this private space around the clock."

Led by the exclusive butler of the Champion Suite, the man and the shark arrived at the second basement level.

When the alloy door was pushed open, what came into Lu Sha's view was a spacious and professional private training room.

"The room is equipped with the highest-grade protective materials, which are strong enough to withstand the moves of Gym Leader level Pokémon. You and your Pokémon can unleash your full potential here. If you need a specialist to explain the equipment, please feel free to contact me at any time."

"understood."

Cattleya nodded slightly and casually waved away the butler who was bowing in service.

"Click! (Come here, over here!)" The soft click of the alloy door lock closing had barely faded when Lu Sha, with her short legs, darted to a small treadmill and waved her little hand at Cattleya.

It's described as a small treadmill, but that's only relative to the size of a Pokémon; it's already considered large for a human.

"You want me to go up?"

Cattleya stopped a few steps away, her delicate brows furrowed, her steps clearly hesitant.

Is this for Pokémon?

"Click! (Give it a try!)" Lu Sha stood on tiptoe, his short fingers barely reaching the top of the control screen, but that didn't stop him from earnestly pointing at the device manual and trying to convince people:

"Click! (Look! It's written clearly in black and white: Through continuous high-intensity running training, it can help users quickly improve their neural responses and accurately control their bodies. Isn't this exactly what you need right now?)" He was taking things out of context, but that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that time waits for no one.

Cattleya had just tried her best to restrain herself.

However, that habit, which was already ingrained in her instincts, still made her subconsciously activate her telekinesis twice, one of which was judged by the system as a complete execution.

At this moment, the experience bar for psychic power had reached a precarious 499 points.

Lu Sha dared not delay.

If he delays any longer, the atmosphere he has carefully created will be lost.

"Huh? Really? Is that okay?"

Caldelia was skeptical, but she still stepped onto the treadmill, her slender legs looking slightly mismatched on the wide belt.

If Lu Sha hadn't spoken with such certainty, and if her previous performance hadn't been so stunning, she wouldn't have been able to stand up there.

"Click! (Of course you can! Trust me! Just think of yourself as a Psychic-type Pokémon.)" Lu Sha looked at the instruction manual with a serious expression. Although the text didn't even have a single punctuation mark that had anything to do with superpowers, he still read it aloud with great intonation:

"Click! (Let me see, it says that for Psychic-type Pokémon, it's best to start with a Speed of 4...)"

"Click! (Let's begin!)" Before Cattleya could react, the tracks beneath her feet began to move.

Staggering slightly, Cattleya instinctively tried to levitate using her telekinesis.

"Click! (Don't use superpowers, they won't work. Let's try it for 10 minutes first!)" Seeing this, Lu Sha quickly stopped her. What if Gadriya were to unleash her psychic powers and advance in their level?

"All right."

Cattleya pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the restless instinct, and awkwardly moved her slender legs, getting used to the speed of the treads step by step.

A speed of 4 km/h is equivalent to 1. 1 meters per second.

For most people, it's just the pace of an after-dinner stroll.

But for Gadria, it was an unprecedentedly high-intensity training session.

This young lady walks by floating.

Lu Sha guessed that she had hardly used her legs since birth.

The timer had barely ticked past 3 minutes when Cattleya's breathing became heavier.

"Click! (Keep going! Hang in there!)" Lu Sha cheered loudly, gesturing wildly to create a lively atmosphere.

If this is normal training, the speed should be increased appropriately.

But his intention wasn't to train Cattleya's body; rather, he wanted to subtly cultivate a habitual dependence on her.

He had to participate in every advancement of the technique.

He needs to make Cattleya feel that he came up with the key method that enabled her to break through her limitations.

Twenty minutes later.

"Huff... huff..."

As the timer reset to zero, the treadmill slowly came to a stop.

Caldelia looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her legs trembling slightly. She leaned on the armrest, panting, completely lacking any decorum.

Is your physical strength really that bad?

This is probably not even as good as Lin Daiyu.

Lu Sha was speechless, but his actions were extremely swift.

He picked up the water bottle that had been prepared in advance with both hands and ran to hand it to the young lady.

However, due to the height difference, Gadriya had to bend down to catch it.

As Lu Sha had predicted, she was in a state of extreme exhaustion and almost subconsciously refused to do any extra muscle work.

An invisible superpower quietly emerged, carrying the water bottle slowly into the air.

Only after the water bottle landed in her hand did Cattleya realize what had happened and apologized:

"Sorry, I forgot..."

"Click! (It's okay, try out your superpower and see if it's improved.)" Lu Sha had been waiting for this moment!

In that instant of mental energy fluctuation, the last bit of experience was replenished, and a series of pleasant notification sounds exploded like heavenly music.

[Congratulations, host! Your Pokémon, Gadria, has broken through its bottleneck and reached Mastery in Psychic Power.] [Psychic Power: Mastery (0/1000)] [Move proficiency detected to have reached Mastery. You can choose 2 rewards from the following 5 options!] 1. Magic Candy 1 (Level Up 1) [2. Gold Beads 3] [3. High-grade Super Energy Gem *1 (Contains a large amount of super energy)] 4. Special Attack Candy *3 (Boosts Special Attack) [5. Random Psychic-type Move Learner *1 (Note: Instantly raises a move's proficiency to beginner level. Can only be used by Pokémon that can learn the move. Moves learned in this way will not grant rewards.)] What a bumper harvest!

Lu Sha's eyes lit up as he looked at the five rewards.

Even the worst gold bead inside has a radius of 1 centimeter and weighs at least 80g.

Three of them weigh 240g, which, at a gold price of 1000, is worth a whopping 240, 000 Alliance Coins.

24 is tempting, but compared to other rewards, it seems to have no cost-effectiveness.

High-grade energy gems can fetch up to 100 million in the market, and that's for the relatively inexpensive Ground-type gems; Psychic-type gems would be even more expensive.

Lu Sha had heard Lei Si mention it once. When Lei Si brought up these external items, he was full of disdain and said that only mediocre Pokémon needed to use treasures to accelerate their growth.

Ha, without you, just watch as we leave everyone else in the dust!

Without much thought, Lu Sha chose the third and fourth rewards.

The next second, one high-level super-powered gem and three special attack candies appeared in Lu Sha's system backpack, waiting for him to retrieve them at any time.

The reason for this choice is simple: prioritizing immediate value and effectiveness.

Rare Candy can raise a Pokémon's level by 1, which seems like a great effect, but what Lu Sha has in abundance right now is level.

If a baby Pokémon receives sufficient nutrition, it can easily level up once a day before reaching level 10.

Even a level 1 upgraded magical candy is less cost-effective than a golden bead if you can't sell it.

All things considered, the Super Gem, valued at over a million, offers the best value for money.

Whether you let Cattleya absorb it or sell it for money, it's a good choice.

As for Special Attack Candy, even though Gible is a natural physical attacker and even though the specific effects are unknown, Gible is willing to take the gamble.

Special items that can boost attributes are always a good choice.

The final Psychic-type move learner seemed powerful, but aside from the fact that the moves were randomized, the fact that it was limited to the Psychic type was enough to make Lu Sha lose interest in it.

Gible's move list only includes the Psychic-type move Rest.

Only 5 seconds had passed by the time Lu Sha finished selecting the reward.

The moment Lu Sha finished organizing her spoils, the environment of the entire training room suddenly changed.

"Buzz!"

Half of the equipment in the training room rose off the ground and floated around Cattleya.

"I've gotten stronger! It's easier to control now!"

Looking at the equipment that moved at will, Gadriya's emerald green eyes were filled with unbelievable surprise.

"It's like an instant enlightenment! My control is at least five times stronger than before, and the power has increased by about 100%..."

too exaggerated!

After just 20 minutes of running, my super-powered self-control improved significantly.

What was she doing before she met Lu Sha?

"Click! (Congratulations on your success! This level of improvement only happens once in a short period of time; it's the result of your hard work and dedication!)" Lu Sha hurriedly stepped forward to patch it up, not wanting Cattleya to experience any subsequent setbacks, lest it damage her trust in him.

"I know, but Lu Sha, you're really amazing to have come up with this method."

With a faint smile on her pretty face, Gadriya put down the surrounding equipment and put it back in its original place, and unusually bent down.

Without using any telekinesis, she simply used her arms, which had never been stained with dust, to gently encircle Lu Sha's rough skin.

Before Lu Sha, who was still airborne, could react, he saw Cattleya's pretty face getting closer and closer.

"Lu Sha, thank you!"

Feeling the soft touch and the delicate fragrance, Lu Sha closed her eyes comfortably and enjoyed the moment.

Hehehe!

Lady Cattleya!

Looking forward to your guidance, future shark!
