Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 570 The Proud Poison Fighter, Poison Skull Frog!

After landing, the Spoon Serpent squinted at Sabrina and quickly headed away in a direction far from them.

Li Shuwen took out the materials. "It must be because Blaine just applied the Life Potion to his head, and the residual scent attracted those Poison-type Pokémon."

"When practicing Gu, a bait is usually prepared in order to stimulate poison-type Pokémon to kill each other and to ensure that the Gu poison is successfully generated."

Kikuko raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to know about Gu magic too?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "I read an ancient book that described it, but it didn't mention the specific methods for cultivating Gu worms."

"It is said that the five types of Pokémon, namely Drapion, Salazzle, Seviper, Scorbunny, and Toxicroak, are called the Five Poisons."

"The cultivated Gu worms will be more powerful. If they can be combined with their toxins, the cultivated Gu worms will be even more powerful."

Kikuko pondered for a moment and decided to try collecting all these Pokémon later.

Scorpion, lizard, snake, centipede, toad—Kikuko knew that Li Shuwen was referring to these five categories, not a specific Pokémon.

Li Shuwen processed the materials, then had the Duckbill Flame Dragon release a small burst of flame, igniting the materials before circling around everyone.

Although the smoke from the materials carried a faint fragrance, the poison-type Pokémon around them rustled and moved away from Li Shuwen and his group.

Kikuko raised an eyebrow. "Your deworming medicine works surprisingly well?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Just like what Senior Kikuko said, it's because I worry too much that I'm preparing a stronger toxin."

"I am better at preparing antidotes so that I can treat poisonous frogs in time if someone is poisoned."

Kikuko shook her head. "I was hoping you could experience the little ones' enthusiasm, but it seems that's not going to happen now."

Cynthia frowned and asked, "Akiko-senpai, isn't this way of training Pokémon a bit too primitive?"

"Such wasteful behavior towards Pokémon is not a good thing; it can cause considerable harm to a person's physical and mental health."

Pokémon aren't immune to death, but dying in a cruel way is inhumane.

Kikuko waved her hand, "Don't worry, all the defeated Poison-type Pokémon will be sent away. I specifically kept a Mismagius that can use the healing bell sound."

"Make sure they leave alive. Of course, they'll have to vomit up all the poisonous plants they ate on the deserted island before they can leave."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow, "By using the Ghost-type Pokémon... Gengar as a medium to transfer toxins, we can achieve a relatively gentle method of raising 'gu' (a type of poisonous creature).

Kikuko nodded. "That's right. The traditional method of raising poisonous Poison Pokémon is too costly. By using Gengar to transfer the poison, Poison-type Pokémon that fail can participate in the second round of selection."

"It just can't become a poison. Experienced poison-type Pokémon can accumulate more toxins."

Li Shuwen nodded, like a house-hunting monster in a battle royale game.

Being killed while fully equipped saves skilled players the time of collecting gear.

No matter how long you try, a Poison-type Pokémon without the talent to become a Gu (a type of poison) will never become a Gu.

Agatha's laboratory is located in the center of the island, protected by Ghost-type Pokémon on the outer perimeter and Poison-type Pokémon in the middle layer. No one can sneak into Agatha's laboratory.

Upon arriving at the location, Kikuko did not take out the materials to directly synthesize the toxin needed for the Poison Skull Frog.

"You all know what materials you need. Go to the island and find those Pokémon to collect them. You can even let Toxicroak absorb the toxins from those Poison-type Pokémon directly."

"I have no objections."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Won't this interrupt the birth of the Gu?"

Kikuko took out a Poké Ball and released a deep purple Nidorino.

"The Gu of this year has been born, and now is the time for it to rest and recuperate. At the same time, it is also the time when the highly toxic materials on this island are growing rapidly."

"If you see a Pokémon you like, you can catch it and take it home."

The Pokémon on this island definitely belong to Agatha Christie.

But Kikuko did not catch it with a Poké Ball.

Capturing a Poké Ball will affect the creation of a Gu.

Li Shuwen released the Poison Skull Frog to collect materials.

Kikuko tapped her wooden staff, and a Gengar and a Mismagius appeared from the void.

"Have those two accompany you, and have them help you extract the necessary toxins."

The Poison Skull Frog's eyes sharpened as it began searching for highly toxic materials in the surrounding area.

Finding highly toxic materials is the signature skill of Poison-type Pokémon.

Without this ability, how can I find the materials I need to become stronger?

After leaving the laboratory, the poisonous skeletal frog stuck its poisonous stinger into the soil.

The soil here is indeed fertile, even containing a faint trace of toxins.

The poison skeletal frog uses the soil to pinpoint the location of the first material.

Poison Skull Frog and Li Shuwen arrived at a forest where the trees were covered with dense white spider silk.

Li Shuwen said, "The materials should have all been eaten by Ariados. It seems that the only way to obtain the materials we need is to extract them from Ariados."

The Poison Skull Frog's two hands glowed white, unleashing waves of vacuum.

As the spider silk was cut, the Ariados fell from the tree one by one.

Outside in Alidosby, the venomous spiders are more brightly colored and patterned, highlighting their potent venom.

But these Ariados are no match for the Poison Skull Frog.

Break the tile!

With a whoosh, the Poison Skull Frog darted through the Ariados, slashing its paws at the heads of the dozen or so Ariados, instantly rendering them unconscious.

Gengar chuckled wickedly, releasing dark energy bands from its hands, which wrapped around Toxicroak while penetrating deep into Ariados's body.

The toxins were quickly extracted and then injected into the body of the poisonous skull frog.

Gengar moved very quickly, and Toxapex felt the toxins in its body expanding rapidly, even becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

Li Shuwen frowned, and Gengar poured all the toxins from Ariados, which Toxapex had defeated, into Toxapex.

The quantity is far beyond what the formula requires.

Li Shuwen spoke up, "Toxicroak, you need to control the number of Pokémon you defeat and only draw the number we need."

"Now, expel the excess toxins from your body."

Collect only the amount needed, which puts the poison skeletal frog to a very high level of control over its toxins.

Kikuko showed Li Shuwen the Gu this year, and even the Nidorino could be easily defeated by the Poison Skull Frog.

But Kikuko sent them to collect the toxins so that the Poison Skull Frog would understand.

Only those who can control toxins are qualified to use them to become stronger!

Overeating will only poison you.

The poison sac on the chin of the poisonous skull frog swells and contracts, releasing toxins little by little from the venomous spines.

Li Shuwen released his waveguide power to assist, but it still didn't restore the toxins to the required level.

Li Shuwen had a premonition that what followed would be a long process of collection and elimination.

Meanwhile, during this process, the poisonous skeletal frogs, which carry the toxins, must endure the pain caused by the toxins while fighting to obtain them.

But they have to grit their teeth and persevere.

After all, Kikuko had already told them from the beginning that this would be a painful process.

The Poison Skull Frog has a resolute gaze, just like a proud poison warrior.
