"Mm, that was about it."
Seeing that it was already getting late, Steven Stone finally let out a breath and spoke to Lu Ze.
A full day of explanations and experiments had more or less emptied Steven Stone's entire reserve of knowledge about Steel-type Pokémon.
Not only that, but the various little Steel-type Pokémon training tips Lu Ze had discussed with him had also benefited him greatly.
After all, Lu Ze's Steel-type knowledge came from all the experience of Lu Ba, Lu Xingguo, Mo Qiancheng, Mo Anguo, and himself.
Especially Mo Qiancheng. As an Elite Four member ranked among the best in the world—and the world's number one Steel-type Elite Four member—Mo Qiancheng's experience was, seriously speaking, no worse than Steven Stone's.
Well, Steven Stone's experience with Rock-type Pokémon was definitely stronger than Mo Qiancheng's.
However, because the two worlds were different, some of Steven Stone and Mo Qiancheng's experience overlapped.
While some parts were indeed different.
That was why Steven Stone had found some of Lu Ze's experience so enlightening.
"By the way, can I have a battle with you?"
On the way back to the hotel after dinner, Lu Ze challenged Steven Stone.
"Of course."
Steven Stone smiled and nodded. He greatly acknowledged Lu Ze's strength as well.
Aside from not having any Master-level Pokémon, Lu Ze's other Pokémon were no weaklings either.
"Then it's settled. We'll have a battle tomorrow."
As Steven Stone spoke, he waved to Lu Ze and prepared to return to his room.
"Sure. Once tomorrow's battle is over, it'll be time for me to find my partners and travel with them again."
Lu Ze smiled, waved back at Steven Stone, and returned to his own room.
"Crobat, Snorlax, tomorrow you'll be battling one of this world's top fighters. Are you excited?"
"Chirp!"
"Snor!"
