NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 29: ch28
The combination of the Experience Doubler and Exp. Share has significantly increased the leveling speed of Charmeleon and Riolu. This is especially beneficial for Riolu, who is currently only level 5. In combat, it might even struggle against a wild Weedle.
It's important to note that Weedles surviving in the wild are the strongest, typically around level 10. Those with lower levels are usually eaten by bird Pokémon like Pidgey and Spearow.
But now, "Riolu can level up without lifting a paw!"
Charmeleon's experience gains are substantial, often exceeding 100 points, which is a great supplement for the low-level Riolu. It won't take long before Riolu levels up.
"Today's goal: Get Riolu to level ten!"
After carrying Riolu for a while, Alex was also tired. He encouraged Riolu to walk on its own.
"Charmeleon, you have to work hard too!" Alex cheered for Charmeleon.
Riolu's upgrade path depends entirely on Charmeleon at this point. Some second-generation trainers often use this strategy: let the high-level Pokémon weaken the opponent, then have the low-level Pokémon finish it off to quickly level up.
However, Alex plans to raise Riolu to level 10 at most. Once Riolu can fight independently, it will have to give up Exp. Share and work hard to level up itself.
Interestingly, Exp. Share is a belt-like accessory. When Riolu wears it, it looks like an armored summoner.
"It's pretty cool," Alex mused as he squatted down and patted Riolu's head. When this little guy grows up, it's going to be quite the dashing figure. Even now, you can see a trace of heroism in its cute demeanor.
"Oolu!" Riolu proudly lifted its head, revealing a small canine tooth at the corner of its mouth and squinting happily.
(???)?
Watching the dog enjoying Alex's affection, Alex found it amusing. "Two Pokémon on my team love to squint."
Cute as they are, they are also impressively strong. Jirachi is a mythical Pokémon, and Riolu has a champion-level talent bordering on legendary.
Because, as they say, squinting equals a monster. Laughing equals squinting. So, loving to laugh equals being a monster.
"After resting for a bit, we'll set off," Alex decided, glancing at the standings.
He noticed that Ethan's points were increasing rapidly, only two thousand points behind him. But Alex wasn't worried.
"With the silver whistle and the insect-attracting perfume, I must have encountered more Pokémon than Ethan."
Moreover, Alex never turns anyone away. Whether it's a 100-point Weedle or a Poochyena, Alex asks Charmeleon to greet them. Points will soon add up.
"Roar."
"Good."
"Oolu."
"Okay."
"Alex, I want to eat a lollipop," Jirachi tugged on Alex's earlobe, speaking softly.
"Impossible," Alex rolled his eyes. "You've already had three this morning. Anymore, and you'll get tooth decay."
Since tasting the lollipops Alex bought, Jirachi has been hooked, showing off its collection every day. It's not that Alex can't afford them or doesn't want Jirachi to have them. As Jirachi's guardian, Alex feels it's his duty to prevent tooth decay.
But do mythical Pokémon even get tooth decay? Who knows! Regardless, Alex doesn't allow it.
"I'll get you one later," Alex firmly declined Jirachi's request, leaving the little guy a bit unhappy. It crossed its arms and pouted, not giving Alex a friendly glance.
"Hehe," Alex laughed. The little guy had learned Charm first. When Charm didn't work, it resorted to "cold shoulder."
Isn't it just a lollipop? "Here you go, here you go," Alex relented, unable to resist Jirachi's displeasure. Whether it leads to tooth decay, who knows.
"Alex, you're the best," Jirachi said, taking the lollipop. It skillfully peeled off the wrapper and popped it into its mouth, giving Alex's earlobe a quick peck.
Earlobe: I'm tingling.
Alex ignored Jirachi and continued to check the flash sales shelf. There were two items left: one blue, one purple.
"Let's open another good thing!" Alex rubbed his hands together, excitedly.
It was like opening a blind box. The blue light flashed, and a peculiar egg appeared before Alex.
"Another Pokémon egg?" Alex was surprised but slightly disappointed.
---
**[Lucky Egg]**
- **Purpose:** The experience gained by the Pokémon carrying this item after battle is increased by 50%.
---
Another item to boost experience. Alex felt this was tailor-made by the system for Riolu. First Exp. Share, now Lucky Egg. Just one word: pampered!
"Since there is no conflict between Exp. Share and the experience multiplier, holding a Lucky Egg shouldn't conflict either."
However, Exp. Share is easy to wear, while Lucky Egg can only be held by Riolu.
"Later, I'll make outfits for the little guys, decorated with accessories and such," Alex mused, putting the Lucky Egg away for now. Otherwise, it would be too odd for Riolu to carry an egg around.
Finally, Alex turned on the purple light, the guarantee of Elite Refresh. What could it be? Alex was eager to find out.
---
**[Elementary Waveguide Power]**
- **Purpose:** After use, you will gain the power of the primary waveguide and become a waveguide hero.
- **Price:** Twelve dollars and seventy-three cents
---
Wow! Is this like Psychic? Alex was surprised and delighted as he read the description on the flash sale shelf.
"The power of the waveguide refers more to the power of the mind. In the theatrical version, Lucario uses the power of the waveguide to sense minds and detect the surrounding environment. It's a seemingly subtle but very practical power."
This is a great ability for Alex in the real world! With the power of the mind, he could potentially communicate with Pokémon without barriers, overcoming the language barrier between humans and Pokémon.
"Purchase!" Alex placed the order without hesitation.
"System, give me a trial of the power of the primary waveguide!"
