Hours later, at the entrance of Suzhuan Gym.
Luna's Blastoise and Kommo-o were lying on the ground like puddles of mud.
Cai Dou's Machamp, Pangoro, and other Pokemon were slightly better, but they were still leaning against the walls with expressions of complete exhaustion.
"Who said you could rest!?"
Sun Wuming suddenly shouted, startling the Pokemon who quickly stood at attention.
Including Luna's Pokemon who were as limp as mud, they all hurriedly got up from the ground.
Sun Wuming took out a timer, showed them the time, and said with a dark expression:
"The pre-breakfast training was supposed to be completed before 9 AM, and now it's already past 10! No breakfast today!"
The Pokemon, who were already hungry enough to hear their stomachs growling, all showed even more miserable expressions.
The apprentice Pangoro, Machamp, and other Pokemon cast resentful glances at Blastoise and Kommo-o.
It was all because of these slowpokes.
"We'll proceed directly to the morning training. Cai Dou, you're in charge of teaching them."
Sun Wuming instructed.
"Yes, Master!"
Cai Dou opened the gym doors, "Come in."
The apprentice Pangoro and Machamp entered the gym one after another.
But Blastoise and Kommo-o still looked outside with worried expressions.
The reason was simple.
Their trainer Luna hadn't returned yet.
This is what makes Pokemon most endearing - once they acknowledge a trainer, they'll never abandon them for life.
"I'll go find that woman, you all hurry up and train."
Sun Wuming said, raising an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Blastoise and the others felt slightly more at ease and followed Cai Dou into the gym.
"That woman... she's not really planning to run the whole course, is she?"
Sun Wuming thought to himself.
In the next moment, a fierce wind surged around his body, and he shot up into the clear sky, flying towards the outskirts of Suzhuan Town.
However, because Sun Wuming was focused on Luna who hadn't returned yet,
He didn't notice that just as he flew away using the Sky Dance technique,
At the corner of the street, a young girl who looked about two years younger than Cai Dou, wearing a black leather jacket and with delicate features,
Stood frozen in place when she saw him fly away.
...
...
"She's really still running."
On the road from Hualang Town back to Mugan Town.
Sun Wuming used the Sky Dance technique to maintain a standing position, as if standing in the clouds.
Looking down,
He saw Luna forcefully moving her powerless limbs, running with an expression like she could faint at any moment.
"I told her she didn't need to train like this, this woman is so stubborn..."
Hovering in mid-air, Sun Wuming shook his head, instinctively wanting to descend and stop her.
But after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately gave up on the idea.
If he stopped her now, it might hurt her pride instead.
After spending this time together,
Sun Wuming had come to understand that although Luna's current strength as a trainer left much to be desired,
Her competitive spirit was extremely strong.
Hmm, she had a bit of a gender-swapped Vegeta vibe.
If he were to stop her or go down to help her now, it would be what she least wanted to accept.
...
...
Evening, dinner time.
"Luna still hasn't come back, Master. Could something have happened?"
Cai Dou asked, turning his head with rice still stuck to the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already past 7 PM.
"It's fine."
Sun Wuming covered another empty plate on the table, not a single grain of rice left.
To prevent Luna from fainting or being attacked by wild Pokemon along the way,
Sun Wuming had specifically memorized her "ki."
If there were any changes, he would rush over immediately.
Currently, Luna's ki was very weak,
But he could tell it was due to training beyond her physical limits.
It wasn't life-threatening.
"You should go to bed early, tomorrow's training will only be more difficult."
Sun Wuming said as he stood up.
Obviously his own appetite wasn't great either.
The stack of plates he'd finished today was only three meters high...
...
...
12:45 AM.
The full moon hung high in the night sky.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
A tall figure returned from the outskirts, staggering back to the entrance of Suzhuan Gym.
Her limbs moved with minds of their own - if you didn't look carefully, you might have thought it was a zombie apocalypse.
"I admit I underestimated you before."
Sun Wuming smiled lightly as he stood up from his seat at the entrance.
Across from him, Luna wanted to say something more, her face deathly pale.
However, just as she opened her mouth, her sapphire-like eyes suddenly rolled back, and she collapsed like a puppet with cut strings.
Sun Wuming quickly stepped forward and caught Luna in his arms.
He took out a Senzu Bean he had prepared in advance and tried to put it in Luna's cherry-like mouth.
But then Sun Wuming realized the problem—
Luna had fainted, she couldn't swallow.
"Ugh... this is kind of gross, but there's no choice."
Sun Wuming rubbed his temples, and with no other option, he put the Senzu Bean in his own mouth, chewed it up, then placed it in Luna's mouth, slowly pouring water in...
Emmm... so this is what they call an imported Senzu Bean?
