Dual-career Pokémon trainer

time back to now

Looking at the Almost Baby who seemed to have fallen down countless times before rushing over in a hurry, Lin Jing was confused at first, thinking that the Almost Baby was rolling around somewhere, but then she came to her senses when the Almost Baby said with a determined look on his face, "It's almost the same, no!"

"Ow~"

"So...you wanna come with me, doll?"

In fact, there was no need for Arcanine to translate. When Lin Jing saw the blue eyes of the doll, he roughly guessed what it wanted to say.

"Alright, alright!"

Almost Doll nodded vigorously.

If...if you don't mind that I'm clumsy and can't heal, please let me be your Pokémon!

I want to be as powerful as them! I want to be able to help other Pokémon like them.

Miss Joy, who was watching all this nearby, also walked over slowly. After taking a look at the doll, she smiled.

"It seems like it really wants to go with you. Congratulations."

"What do you mean by congratulating me? I'm not even ready."

In response to Miss Joy's congratulations and Almost Doll's expectant look, Lin Jing just scratched his head in distress.

To be honest, although Pokemon is his favorite type of Pokémon, he had no intention of capturing it at first.

After all, when it comes to treating him, there is already Hua Liao Huan Huan in his team.

Although the proficiency of the other little guys in praying can only be said to be usable, it can still be regarded as a treatment point.

It's not bad for a medical Pokémon.

Although... this doll itself can't heal...

I don't know if it's because of its clumsy nature...

That's right, the Normal-type Pokémon dolls have three characteristics.

They are the Healing Heart that cures abnormal conditions, the Regeneration Power that speeds up one's own recovery, and the extremely rare Clumsiness that is used as a hidden characteristic of Almost Doll.

Although it is the rarest type of hidden characteristic, it is also the worst characteristic of the doll, and even a negative one.

Many Pokémon with this trait will behave somewhat clumsily as the name suggests, and the impact of the clumsy trait will also shield them from the energy of almost all carried items, rendering the carried items ineffective.

That is to say, if Pokémon with this characteristic encounter a battle where they can carry items, they will directly lose a helper.

Judging from the usual performance of this almost-baby doll, it is undoubtedly clumsy.

And I don't know if it's because it doesn't have the Healing Heart or the Regeneration Power, which are characteristics related to recovery and treatment, but it can't use any healing skills.

But...never mind, there is a way to make this feature a help to myself...

After clearing his mind of thoughts, Lin Jing now focused his attention back on the almost-doll with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Almost, baby. Although I can't guarantee that you will be able to learn healing skills after following me, I will do my best to make you stronger."

"So let me confirm again, are you really willing to be my Pokémon?"

"Alright, alright!"

He nodded vigorously again, almost expressing his affirmation.

Seeing this, Lin Jing took out an empty Poké Ball and held it in front of him.

"Well, that's about it, baby. Please give me your guidance in the future."

After saying that, Lin Jing was about to stick the Poké Ball on the doll as usual.

There was a flash of red light, and the doll almost disappeared.

After flashing three times in succession, the Poké Ball made a crisp sound, indicating that the Pokémon was successfully captured.

Fortunately, the normal carry slot was full after I captured Riolu, so I simply asked Professor Yamanashi to apply for a special carry for me.

"I didn't expect to have another partner."

Lin Jing couldn't help but sigh as he felt the heavy Poké Ball in his hand, and the Windy Dog next to him also responded.

"Awoo~ (Yeah, yeah, and it's the fluffy stuff you like~)"

"You talk too much!"
