Dual-career Pokémon trainer

There was silence in the dark cave at this moment.

Only the faint glow of the fire outside the curtain and the tent indicated that there seemed to be someone here before.

Hmm...if you listen carefully it doesn't seem that quiet.

"Fly, fly. (Isn't this a good idea?)"

Sylveon's voice sounded a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? There are two floors between us. Besides, Lukia would have fallen asleep by this time."

A slightly obscene sound followed, and although Sylveon couldn't see anything in the darkness, he could feel the ribbon wrapped around someone's wrist being pulled gently.

Then I just felt a slight sense of oppression on my body.

“Fly, fly! (But…but it’s really uncomfortable!)”

Fairy Eevee wanted to struggle, but was suppressed by Lin Jing.

"Be patient, it will be fine when it comes out."

Amidst a strange friction sound, a ray of orange-red light suddenly illuminated the dark area.

With a slap and a pull of his claws, he pulled off the zipper that was stuck on Sylveon without any explanation.

"Ouch. (That's fine. No need to make a fuss in the middle of the night.)"

"...Thank you so much, Windspeed."

Looking at the clothes that had jagged edges and obviously could not be pulled up again, Lin Jing glanced at the big dog speechlessly.

"Woof. (That is, what will you do without me?)"

The big dog seemed not to hear the gnashing of teeth in Lin Jing's mouth and ignored the resentful look of Fairy Eevee. He shook his front paws that were covered in mud and pressed them lightly on the ground, as if he had finally found the most comfortable position before he lay down again triumphantly.

He completely ignored the resentment in Lin Jing's eyes.

Damn it, it’s finally a little cooler today in the middle of summer, I can just sleep with my stuffed bunny inside my clothes.

As a result, everything was messed up by this big dog.

As for the fact that Windy Dog didn't realize that Lin Jing did it on purpose, he was the first one who didn't believe it.

After all, this guy often put it in his clothes before he evolved.

Especially that time at Mount Tianguan in the Sinnoh region.

Although it was a bit cold, the fur in my arms felt like a warm stove, and I could feel it brushing against my skin from time to time.

Wow, it’s really memorable.

The eyelids that had just closed opened slightly again, and looking at the next guy rubbing against him, Windspeed raised his eyebrows slightly.

You don't need to ask to know what this guy is thinking.

I don’t know why Jing was making such a loud noise in the middle of the night. Even Lukia next door was woken up by him.

If we really don't interrupt it and Lukia finds out, let's see what this guy is going to do.

Shaking his ears gently, the big dog looked at Riolu who seemed to be still sleeping but was actually not asleep at all.

After confirming that Lukia didn't seem to be planning to come out again, he ignored the fur-loving creature that had just crawled under his belly and covered himself with his tail, and the big dog closed his eyes again.

Tsk, such a great trainer still needs it to worry.

Sometimes I really want him to just take it out and throw it away.

rustle~

Just as he was thinking this, a hand suddenly stretched out from the long hair of the dog and scratched its chin skillfully a few times, causing the dog's tail to shake up and down subconsciously. Even though its eyes were closed, it gave people the feeling that it was squinting and enjoying something.

Forget it, since I've already identified this guy, I can only worry about him a little more.

Not paying attention to the sounds of his companions turning over and over, after making sure that the surroundings were completely safe, Arcanine slowly fell asleep, enjoying the familiar smell and touch.

Pokkiss, who had been secretly peeping from the beginning, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Windy Dog finally came back, and Jing didn't look for her. Today was another peaceful day.

Fortunately, this guy was only interested in it during the first few days of its evolution.

Later on, I still felt that the feel was not as good as the ones I usually rubbed, and its size was not suitable for rubbing while traveling, so I did not receive long-term harassment from this plush lover.

that is...

The wings gently scratched his smooth fur, and there was a bit of unwillingness on Pokkiss's face.

Humph, is its fur so unattractive to this guy?

It shouldn't be that short.

...

Early the next morning, the morning dew gently dripped into the puddles left over from yesterday.

The Pokémon that had been hiding somewhere yesterday have now reappeared.

Some grass-type Pokémon are enjoying the sunshine, while some land and flying Pokémon are already looking for fallen fruits on the ground.

It's different from being stuck in a pile of fur in the city on weekdays.

With Vulpix's icy wakefulness, Lin Jing also got up along with her little ones.

Looking around, Lin Jing noticed that several people were absent, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Did the two of them go out for morning exercise again early in the morning?

I've told you before, don't run around in the wild, what if you run into danger?"

Although Lin Jing's words seemed to be correct, the little guys had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

As for those two energetic guys, not to mention Riolu, even if they encounter a boss-level fight in the wild, Arcanine's strength can basically be easily defeated by relying on daily training and Lin Jing's strict breeding training.

Even if you really encounter one that you can't beat, you won't be able to catch up with it.

Riolu can even use waves to sense the hostility around him and the combat effectiveness of his opponents.

Together, they'd be lucky if they didn't beat up all the Pokémon around them.

Only this worried guy would be like this.

“That’s strange, today I can’t just go for a morning run.

But... just this environment?"

He glanced at his backpack out of habit to confirm that all the food and energy blocks for wild Pokémon were there.

Lin Jing was also a little surprised.

What I said just now was just my habitual worry when I saw that two guys were missing.

Of course, he was well aware of the little habits of these two guys, so every time if these guys went to fight unlucky wild Pokémon in the wild, he would at least let them bring Flower Healing Rings or some Pokémon food as compensation.

Forget it, maybe he went to explore the cave.

Taking another look at the dark and deep cave, Lin Jing shook his head casually.

It’s a pity when I think about it this way.

If they really go out for a morning run, given the muddy road outside, they will definitely come back covered in dirt.

By then~ Hehe~~~

Thinking of this, Lin Jing rubbed his hands subconsciously, and then he grabbed the Vulpix, who had just been alert but did not run away, into his arms and rubbed it hard.

Although it is impossible to wash them for as long as in the city, you can at least give them a thorough wash.

This time we went into the wild for several days.

But it was obvious that those two were not going out.

The most I can do when I come back is wipe their paws.

When I think about it, although it’s not as good as taking a shower, it seems not bad either?

He then sucked a mouthful of the fluffy energy from the Fairy Eevee's soft belly that came to his door.

Lin Jing slowly closed her eyes.

Although he still can't do it as the other little ones, at least he has been training for so long.

It’s no problem to contact Riolu from a distance.

【After playing, I came back to eat and hit the road! 】

It was a short distance away from where Lin Jing was.

Riolu, who was about to dodge, was stunned, but fortunately he reacted in time.

The blue furry arm was instantly wrapped in silver, and with the sound of metal and stone colliding, Riolu used this force to distance himself from the opponent.

"Leo! (Jing called us back!)"

Not far behind him, the orange-red figure that was originally lying quietly suddenly stood up.

The figure who originally wanted to chase Riolu suddenly froze and began to sweat profusely.

Obviously, given its appearance and size, it looks very ferocious.

But he was completely no match for the terrifying opponent who had just awakened.

Even as a wild Pokémon, it knows even better about this kind of horror that can shock it with just its presence.

"Ouch. (Got it.)"

Windy Dog was a little uninterested.

It seems like such a large system, but except for the slightly higher strength and stamina, it is completely incomparable to Riolu.

As for being with it? That's even more impossible.

However, since we are going to leave from here later, for the sake of safety on the road, we have to make this guy completely lose his combat ability.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the eyelids of the brown bear, which was brown all over with a big yellow circle on its belly, suddenly twitched.

Unfortunately, before it could even start to move, a large orange-red claw instantly enlarged on its forehead.

A second before fainting, Circle Bear seemed to be able to see the man who seemed to have just stood up...

Oh, it's the afterimage...

With this last thought, Circle Bear fainted.

"Woof~ (Let's eat, let's eat~)"

On the way back, Arcanine walked with a brisk pace, swinging his big tail, which was his trainer's favorite.

Unfortunately, the next second, its happy mood suddenly plummeted due to its companion following it at the highest speed.

"Leo Leo. (By the way, when I was fighting just now, I seemed to have discovered that there was no way forward. Jing, maybe she went to the wrong cave.)"

"Leo? (What's wrong?)"

Riolu, who was about to rush over, stopped immediately when he noticed that his senior had suddenly stopped.

But now the furry face of the senior it admired seemed a little stiff.

"Ouch. (Why don't we go back and bury that guy?)"

"Leo? (Huh?)"
