I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

"What, too many to name?"

Dongfang Zhao saw Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.

The look on his face that he had fond memories with the other person could not be concealed. Although the boy in front of him didn't say anything, there was that special look when his eyes touched his Pokémon.

That's enough to explain a lot.

Without waiting for his response, the old man continued:

"Then you must have realized that bonds can create all kinds of 'miracles', whether it is combat effectiveness or outstanding performance in daily life.

"As long as you care about each other, Pokémon will never let you down. This is the only thing I can guarantee."

Dongfang Zhao took out a high-end ball from his pocket, "What do you think is the clearest manifestation of a bond?"

"Performance...Hold on? Get out of the way? Stand up?" Li Xiang thought about it for a while and responded.

Naturally, he is not trying to be clever, because these three words used to make fun of many animation fans really exist, but they often do not require trainers to shout at the top of their lungs.

"Hoar?" Dongfang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's a good statement. Indeed, they are the ones who are most likely to be tied up in battle, but they are not the only ones."

boom!

There was a flash of white light.

A long-clawed velociraptor with a gray body and gold-rimmed round scales embedded on the outside like armor, rustling when it collided, appeared next to him.

It was one of Dongfang Zhao's main forces back then, the Staff-Tail Scale Armored Dragon.

"Old man, I'm going to trouble you today." The old man touched the latter's scales, which still had some small scars.

"唊拉~"

The Staff-Tail Scaled Dragon smiled and nodded, looking at the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the others as if they were looking at a group of children.

Of course, in terms of age, Dongfang Zhao, who has lived together since they were in school, does have this asset.

You must be in your fifties at least, right?

Perhaps for a dragon, this age is far from retirement, but its partners are no longer able to fight at high intensity, so Pokémon battles have lost their meaning.

"The human form will be a little more intuitive. Look carefully and tell me what you see later."

Dongfang Zhao whispered something, then turned his back to the Ankylosaurus and began to make some strange movements.

Li Xiang didn't react at first. After the other party made a few more moves, he realized that the movements of the Ankylosaurus with its back facing him were surprisingly consistent with his!

Triple blind perception method?

He inevitably recalled the third senior sister and her giant pincer mantis, who had behaved similarly when they demonstrated the three-blind perception method.

But it's just similar, not as "magical" as the scene in front of me.

Off the field.

Many students who were watching started whispering, and the knowledgeable ones had already thought of something.

"If you think this is a pre-rehearsed action, you can try doing a few actions for me to imitate."

The old man spoke.

When Li Xiang heard this, he subconsciously made a physical movement of squatting upright on one leg.

"Hey! You're so rude!" Dongfang Zhao was shocked by his rude behavior.

He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll change -"

"Okay, that's it. My old bones need a little exercise now and then."

The old man waved his hands, stood upright on one foot, and slowly squatted down. The staff-tailed ankylosaurus behind him paused for a moment, then followed suit.

"Ouch!"

"I know, I know, I'll take it easy." Dongfang Zhao responded to its call.

However, despite his age, the old man's physique as an excellent trainer is still there, and it is relatively easy to do squats with one foot. I just couldn't stand firm when I stood up and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Li Xiang had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to give him a little help.

"Oh! Thank you! The young man has good reflexes!"

The old man slowly straightened up. Although he was not afraid of making a fool of himself, it did hurt a lot.

However, he was supported by someone. The Ankylosaurus behind was not so lucky. The person holding it was a little Kirby. This silly little guy misjudged the opponent's weight and was pitifully crushed by it with a pop.

"Ouch!"

"唝~"

The little Kirby's response made the staff-tailed scale dragon sigh in relief. Although the little guy wouldn't be crushed so easily, it was still a little worried.

By the way, it turned its head and roared dissatisfiedly, "Ouch!"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I couldn't exert my strength when I got up." The old man laughed loudly, "But I did it? After all, the sword is still young."

The staff-tailed armored dragon stood up, puffed out two streaks of white smoke from its nostrils, and looked at the former with contempt.

It seems to be saying that this is a piece of shit.

Li Xiang watched silently, thinking that if Dongfang Zhao and the Ankylosaurus were communicating with each other, what would happen if they appeared together even if they fell?

One mind?

"Did you find anything?"

The old man held his waist and asked with a smile.

He responded, "The hearts are connected, but not only the hearts are connected, the movements also seem to be completely copied."

"That's right."

Dongfang Zhaoruzi nodded in an instructive manner, "It has far exceeded the level of telepathy. It is the result of me and the Stick Tail Scale Armored Dragon becoming one."

"Two become one..."

"It's just a high degree of overlap in consciousness. Can you understand it?"

"A little bit."

Facing Li Xiang's half-understanding expression, Dongfang Zhao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It requires physical sense to fully understand it. To give an analogy, super evolution.

"Did you and your Pokémon have a sense of spiritual communication when you Mega Evolved? It seemed like your Pokémon could understand what you meant without opening your mouth, and vice versa."

Li Xiang suddenly realized that he had super evolved quite a few times, and indeed this happened often.

Dongfang Zhao continued: "And the one I just showed is more closely connected than it."

From a performance point of view, this is indeed the case.

He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Metagross and Lucario, who also looked at him, each with their own thoughts.

The old man had not spoken yet, "In the field of trainers, there is no exclusive vocabulary. Everyone has his own name. Whether it is within Zhuxia or outside the region, there are more than ten or twenty kinds of names mixed in. Together.

"Because we cannot accurately verify spiritual things for the time being, human research in this area can only be considered in its infancy. Personally, I like to call it [resonance]."

"resonance……"

"You should be familiar with this vocabulary. They should have mentioned it when teaching in school and when learning from other masters."

"there is."

Li Xiang nodded. Building a good relationship with Pokémon is a basic topic for trainers. Training and cooperating with Pokémon to deepen mutual connections and "resonate" are also words that teachers often talk about.

There’s also the [Waveguide Resonance] mentioned two days ago, I’m afraid not all of it belongs to the same thing.

Although he has always listened carefully in this aspect, it is still a bit scary that [Resonance] can reach such an extent.

correct.

This seemed to have happened before when I played against Teacher Mo and the others!

He suddenly recalled some details, but most of Mo Ye's Pokémon were not humanoid, so it was not that intuitive.

More intuitively…

Ash and Koga Ninja?

He thought again of the [Tie Evolution] in the anime that was unique to Ash Ketchum's version of Koga Ninja.

"What the school teachers teach you is basic resonance, which is to accurately understand the other person's thoughts."

Dongfang Zhao gave the second concept, "Shallow resonance means that the movements are completely consistent, and both parties complete certain actions simultaneously, as you just saw. There is also deep resonance."

"Deep resonance?"

"Yes, but that field is more dangerous. It affects people's five senses and consciousness, including pain. Not many people can do it, so you just need to have a concept of it."

What is this?

Souls merged into one, nervous systems shared?

No wonder it is an area that humans cannot study thoroughly for the time being. The power of the mind affects the body. Like superpowers, it only exists on the Internet.

“Are there many people who can relate to this?”

Li Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"As far as I know, there are many people who can resonate with me." Dongfang Zhao paused, "There should be hundreds of people in Zhu Xia."

hundreds of……

He guessed in his mind how many of these hundreds of people were masters and how many were retired masters.

If you calculate it this way, there will be very few people who know how to do it.

The threshold is almost as high as super evolution. Super evolution can be passed down, and resonance can only be relied on by oneself.

"The theory class ends here."

Dongfang Zhao interrupted his thoughts, and the students watching outside also showed unfinished expressions, wanting to know more details about resonance.

Unfortunately, the old man had no intention of continuing.

"In the next two months, my main arrangement for you is to cultivate your bond with them to complete the basic resonance. The same arrangement will be followed for the students I will accept later."

He said bluntly: "But there are no shortcuts on the road to resonance, and I don't have a way to quickly understand it, so I can't guarantee that if you follow me, you will definitely learn it. This kind of thing can only depend on your own efforts."

This sentence is also meant for students outside.

【Resonance】Is it important? Of course it is important. Resonance is a manifestation of bonding, and everyone knows what bonding can bring. Furthermore, the help of tacit understanding is also extremely obvious in the battle.

Just a few hundred people learned...

Students who come to the joint training base will not belittle themselves, but they cannot be so arrogant that they think they can learn this kind of thing in two months.

If Dongfang Zhao only teaches this, then he might as well go to other masters to learn how to organize his team, and maybe he can even steal their secret techniques.

Masters often have moves they are good at and can use them in different ways.

For a while.

The students were talking a lot.

Inside the venue.

Li Xiang started his first practical class under the command of Dongfang Zhao.

The old man said: "How to cultivate bonds correctly and efficiently. In this regard, you have to ask your Pokémon what they want to do and what they want."

"They want to do what they want..." Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If I remember correctly, the Blazing Roaring Tiger——"

"You see, you made a mistake from the beginning."

Dongfang Zhao shook his head and interrupted, "What do you mean I remembered it correctly? This is just your one-sided understanding. Do you think you know your Pokémon very well? Maybe that's just your wishful thinking."

"Ask it, communicate with it, and find what it really wants. If it is correct, go for it. If it is wrong, deny it and tell it the truth. It is not important whether it is right or wrong. What is important is connection! Contact!"

At the end of the sentence, the old man emphasized his tone.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Xiang nodded, turned around, walked to the Blazing Roaring Tiger, and looked into the eyes of this tall guy.

For some reason, he didn't know how to speak, even though he could say whatever he wanted before.

In the end, the Blazing Roaring Tiger blinked and shouted first, "Kaa! Kaa!"

The big tiger roared, clenched his fist, turned around and waved a few times, making a dull whirring sound in the air.

"What did you hear?" Dongfang Zhao's voice sounded from behind.

Li Xiang turned his head in embarrassment and said, "Afu told me that it wants to gain the power of Z-move, and then combine it with its flame belt and catnip to defeat the dark, uh, our enemies."

"Not bad." The old man nodded, "What else?"

"Also...it wants to fight the Ankylosaurus, and wants to know the level of the previous champion."

He scratched his face, feeling a little rude.

Dongfang Zhao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Hahahaha! It's okay, it's a good thing to ask for something! I agree! But, do you agree? Do you agree with your partner's idea?"

The old man stared into the eyes of the young man in front of him, and the answer didn't take long.

After Li Xiang and Blazing Roaring Tiger looked at each other, they both turned towards each other, "Of course I agree... No, it should be said that this is something we should fight for. Whether it's Z moves, killing enemies, or Fight with you!"

The two laughed one after another, and the arrogance that arose spontaneously was almost the same.

At this moment, they were like Dongfang Zhao and the Stick-Tail Scaled Dragon just now, closely connected by an invisible rope.

It also made the old man stunned for two seconds.

"Okay! Okay! You are indeed a talented person!" Dongfang Zhao smiled happily.

I thought I would get nothing in just two months, but unexpectedly, Li Xiang had a good start on the first day.

"Continue! Let's continue! Communicate with the next one!"

He waved vigorously.

"good!"

Li Xiang nodded and walked towards his second Pokémon, Lucario, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Gouzi, tell me what you really think."

"Ouch."

…

Dongfang Zhao’s first class lasted almost three hours.

in.

Two and a half hours were spent communicating with Pokémon, and the remaining half hour was spent fighting between Li Xiang and the former champion.

The old man's physical condition is actually quite good. As long as it's not a high-intensity battle, he can persevere.

There is no doubt that Li Xiang was defeated by the old man and his aging team. Many trump cards were completely cut off from the possibility of execution before they even had time to be revealed.

A card that cannot be played is a useless card. Everyone knows this.

After returning to the dormitory.

Li Xiang faced Zhi Yujian who was curious about what they were doing outside, and communicated with this guy in the same way.

Got this answer——

"If possible, please allow me to accompany you back to your hometown for a visit. 』

Zhi Yujian thought it was necessary to return to his hometown.

No reason.

I just want the Paper God to know its choice and prove itself.

And in order to achieve this, it is absolutely necessary to become stronger through exercise.

After eating sugar for several months, he is looking forward to the future.
