Dawn of Pokémon

Even compared to Gyarados, who has the most combat experience, Riolu's bravery and skill in combat are not inferior in any way.It was born in a giant forest where grass-type Pokémon are extremely exclusive. It has experienced countless battles since its childhood and has never been afraid of the enemy.This kind of Riolu certainly has reliable strength, but it encountered quite a problem when it tried to fight under Xiaoye's command.

It has formed its own unique fighting habits and judgments, and it is difficult to completely obey other people's instructions.Of course, Riolu himself does not reject Xiaoye, and he also wants to try to follow the instructions and fight, but the fighting instinct formed over many years is not so easy to reverse.

One person and one Pokémon starts with the simplest instructions, running, jumping or using moves, and the progress up to this point is very smooth.However, when it came to actual combat training, various problems began to arise in the cooperation between the two parties.For example, Riolu instinctively dodged the opponent's attack before Xiaoye's instructions were given, or he habitually attacked without receiving instructions - after an hour of this, even the opponent Pichu was exhausted mentally and physically. .

"Is it really that difficult to follow instructions?" Pichu's ears almost curled up into the shape of question marks. "Even a guy as stupid as Charizard can do it."

Charizard looked dazed as he was shot with an arrow. He turned around and saw that Riolu's face was filled with unacceptable expression after being criticized in such a way, and he suddenly felt aggrieved and deformed.

Riolu scratched his head and repeated "obey the instructions" many times in his mind, but as soon as the fight started, his true colors appeared again.The pace of the battle is very fast. No matter how you act, you can do it in one thought. If you try hard to restrain yourself, you will freeze into a pillar. After hearing Xiao Ye shouting "Fa Jin", you still haven't reacted. Pichu was His tail was all over his face.

Looking at the already dark sky, Pichu sighed, "I really didn't expect to accompany you to train Qiu for such a simple thing. You see, Snow Boy is almost asleep, Qiu!"

Riolu turned around and saw that Yukidouzi, who had eaten and drank enough, was already lying on the ground and fell asleep.

The battle I just had...was that boring?Riolu fell into deep self-doubt.

Xiao Ye shook her head and gently poked Snow Boy's little hand to wake her up, "Yuki Boy, if you're sleepy, just go back to the poke ball and sleep, right?"

Yukidouzi thought vaguely for a while, nodded, and hit the red and white ball on Xiaoye's waist.

Then... he covered his head and sat on the ground blankly.

Xiaoye couldn't help but smile and picked up the empty elf ball that was knocked away by Yukidouzi, "Wrong, it's not this."

Snow Boy finally woke up a little now. He spotted the ball with the small Snow Boy Q-version sticker on it and hit it, turning into a red light and entering the ball.Xiaoye's other hand that was about to take the elf ball froze in the air and put it down helplessly.

It was so anxious that it returned to the Poké Ball with a headbutt. It seemed that it was indeed very sleepy.

Seeing that Riolu next to her had ended her self-loathing, Xiaoye smiled encouragingly at the blue puppy.

"So……"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoye heard a slight "click" sound coming from behind her.

Their current location was by the trees at the end of the beach.There are a lot of dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground, and when stepped on, they will make such a crisp sound.

However, when she heard this familiar voice, Xiaoye instinctively felt a chill all over her body.

All the Pokémon were in front of her.Under the coverage of the waveguide detection, there was no breath of any creature behind her.So, who could be making this obvious stampeding sound?

The crisis alarm bells ringing in my mind dispersed the vague feeling of familiarity.Xiaoye flicked the empty elf ball in her hand without hesitation, throwing it as a hidden weapon in the direction of the sound. At the same time, she took advantage of the opportunity to quickly turn around, and the brilliance of the power of the waveguide had already wrapped around her right hand.

Then... then Xiaoye froze in place with an embarrassed look on her face.

The silver-haired young man caught the red and white ball steadily and joked, "Xiaoye, do you really want to conquer me?"

Facing the identical icy blue eyes of the father and son in front of her, Xiaoye was speechless for three seconds before answering, "Yeah, I didn't succeed last time, so I have to try again this time."

No wonder Xinghai would sigh like this.The scene in front of them was almost exactly the same as when Xiaoye and Xinghai met for the first time in the underground base of Rainbow City - they were also unable to sense each other's aura, and they were also throwing empty pokeballs as weapons to gain time to respond. In retrospect, Xiao Ye suddenly felt that she should reflect on whether her fighting routine was too single.

Seeing Xiaotian looking at her with a puzzled look, Xiaoye quickly waved her hand, "Sorry, I just detected your breath during the day. I didn't expect that I can't sense it now. I thought someone with malicious intentions was approaching... ...Mr. Xinghai, is this your family’s ancestral secret technique?”

"It's not a secret technique, just a little trick to hide the aura." Xinghai smiled and returned the elf ball to Xiaoye, "What a pity, you failed to conquer it this time~"

Xiaoye covered her face and said, "I'm really sorry. I will definitely not try to conquer you for the third time..."

As early as when they first met in Rainbow City, Xiaoye knew that Xinghai had the ability to hide its own aura, making it impossible for waveguide detection to capture it.Unexpectedly, even Xiaotian learned this trick. It seems that we must be careful when throwing concealed weapons in the future.

She didn't want to smash the Poké Ball in her captain's face.

Xinghai and Xiaotian came here after detecting that Xiaoye hadn't left yet - Xiaoye didn't ask them why they knew their location. Even Xiaoye could detect the location of Shenyu and his son from a long distance. For Xinghai, it was very difficult to sense Xiaoye. Positioning is even easier.

Although Xiaoye didn't feel the power of other waveguides passing by at all, she was a little doubtful whether Mr. Xinghai's waveguide power also had a concealment effect.

"Xiaoye, why don't you go back?" Xiaotian really doesn't think that night is the time to train in the wilderness.

"Well, today's training mission is not completed yet." Xiaoye nodded.

Xiaotian looked at Riolu who looked depressed and Pichu who looked even more depressed, "Have you encountered a problem?"

"It's not really a problem."

Seeing that Xiaotian and Xinghai had no intention of leaving immediately, Xiaoye briefly described the problems Riolu encountered.

Xinghai was the first to express his understanding.Many experienced trainers will also face this problem after taming very powerful wild Pokémon. The better they are at fighting, the more difficult it is for wild Pokémon to fully accept human instructions.According to Xinghai, he himself once conquered the leader of a group, and it took him several months to gradually be able to cooperate with each other.

"Don't be too anxious. There is enough time before the start of the Quartz League to get used to it." Xinghai blinked at Riolu who was obviously in a bad mood.

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded in response.

When Xiaoye was considering whether to give up today's training, Xiaotian suddenly said, "Xiaoye, let's fight."

"Eh?"

"I think for Riolu, the opponent is a Pokémon that also obeys instructions, which will make it adapt faster." Xiaotian explained, taking out the Poke Ball under Xinghai's approving gaze, "How about it?"

Xiao Ye thought for a while, swallowed back the habitual "That's too troublesome for you", and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, please."

As a result, the training content was temporarily changed, and Pichu finally no longer had to be a painful sparring partner.Riolu's new opponent is Xiaotian's flying mantis.

This Pokémon is one of the veterans of Xiaotian's team, and Xiaoye has seen it many times on Red Lotus Island.It has a tacit understanding with Xiaotian gained after countless battles, and Riolu, who is not used to cooperating with trainers, can be said to be two extremes.

The battle between them lasted from the darkening of the sky to the emergence of the stars and the moon.Riolu's performance was still so bad, but seeing the humans and Pokémon on the opposite side walking in unison, even breathing in the same frequency, Riolu really felt something.

At the end of the training, the silver-haired human walked up to it and said a few words to it.

"If you really want to be her partner, trust her and completely entrust her with the outcome of the battle."

"——Since you chose her as your partner, you should be able to do it."

Riolu, who was used to being a lone ranger, didn't quite understand the meaning of "entrustment", but he did remember what the boy said seriously and looked forward to the future in the near future.

It also wants to fight side by side with the trainer it recognizes like the boy and the flying mantis - this is a wish that has existed since the last day of the land beyond.

The training days passed day by day.Xiaoye and Xiaotian still meet occasionally in the back mountain and play against each other to hone their skills.With Xiaotian's help intentionally or unintentionally, Riolu grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and could already show off to Pichu that he had successfully executed ten consecutive instructions from his trainer.

Although he will still be ridiculed by the electric mouse with three sentences and his head will be snatched.

Ten days later, Gyarados appeared on the southern coast.Its whole body was covered with interlaced scars. It looked tired and embarrassed, but it had undergone amazing changes.After seeing the new ability it had acquired, Xiaoye asked it in surprise what happened, but Gyarados stubbornly refused to tell her experience.

Pichu, who was very curious, was tortured to the point of jumping up and down. He spent his whole life's language skills, but still couldn't get Gyarados to speak. He only got many condescending looks - which made Pichu express his desire to discharge.

After stopping the internal strife with ease, Xiaoye didn't ask any more questions.Gyarados has a straightforward and rough personality, and he never hides anything.If it even refused to speak, it might mean that its experience in the past half month is indeed a secret that can only belong to the Pokémon in the sea.

Moreover, there were new changes in other team members that attracted Xiaoye's attention.

——She discovered that Charizard's water resistance was weakened.
