Dual-career Pokémon trainer

Cerulean Gym Water Arena.

The battle that was in progress was suddenly forced to be interrupted.

After a sudden gust of water, the scattered water suddenly condensed into a Pokémon that looked like a fish but was not a fish.

Its entire body is blue like water, with a white scarf-like object on its neck and two fins that look like ears. There are dark blue stripes starting from the scarf, and these stripes extend to the tail, which has a fish-like fin.

It is one of Eevee's many evolutions, Vaporeon.

The water column before was exactly what it transformed into. This is Vaporeon's innate instinct. It uses cells that are almost the same as water to blend into the water and turn itself into an invisible force.

It’s a pity that its current condition doesn’t seem to be very good. If it didn’t look so weak, it would definitely be a very handsome and beautiful Pokémon.

But...why?

Looking at the Vaporeon who suddenly appeared in the arena with serious injuries, Lin Jing frowned.

As for the battle, it was naturally cancelled. After all, the three Hualan sisters clearly did not seem to be in the mood to continue at the moment.

"I'm sorry, you've seen the situation, it looks like the battle will have to be temporarily stopped."

Taking the Poké Ball that Mudan handed over hurriedly, Sakura quickly put the Vaporeon back into the Poké Ball.

Prepare to use the power of the Poké Ball to slightly alleviate Water Eevee's injuries.

"It's okay, compared to this... May I ask what this is...

Of course, I can understand if it’s inconvenient.”

Looking at the black and yellow Poké Ball that Sakura had just put away from Vaporeon, Lin Jing looked puzzled.

“Hey, it’s not impossible for you to say that.

After all, if Vaporeon is injured like this, no matter what the reason is, we need to ask for help.

Ayame, please take Vaporeon over there first."

After a few seconds of silence, Sakura seemed to have made a decision.

He sighed softly and handed the Vaporeon's Poké Ball to Ayame.

Sakura didn't look at Lin Jing again until Acorus disappeared from her sight.

"I have something important to do here. If possible, I hope you can come and help me. I will explain what happened on the way."

As Sakura spoke, she had already touched a hidden switch on the wall.

The original water field changed rapidly, and a huge pit appeared on the field.

Of course, along with it came a rough-looking Gyarados that swam out of the pit.

"Gyarados, please help me."

"roar~"

With a gentle stroke of his hand, the seemingly rough-looking Gyarados nodded slightly in response.

……

Gyarados swam through the underground undercurrent, and Sakura, wearing an oxygen mask, took this opportunity to explain to Lin Jing.

"Since you have this badge that represents the gym leader's all-out efforts, you should also know that we, the real gym defenders, also have the responsibility to protect the nearby towns."

“Well, I know a little about this.

So that Vaporeon is the Pokémon responsible for this aspect?"

Holding Gyarados' scales and feeling the surging water around him, Lin Jing also felt some excitement that was not associated with riding Arcanine.

"Yes, that's the Pokémon our mother left behind to guard the area.

We have been playing with Vaporeon since we were little, so they are very cooperative with some simple commands, but when it comes to directing a battle...

Anyway, Vaporeon and its partner, Sona, are in charge of a nearby place called Cerulean Caves.

Considering the tacit understanding between Vaporeon and Dragonite and Vaporeon's own defense, something must have happened to make him so injured.

So if you can, please help me with all your efforts.”

Sakura's tone became more serious as she spoke towards the end.

“That’s no problem, but what exactly is going on with the Cerulean Cave?

As far as I know, there is no place called Cerulean Cave nearby, right?"

In fact, Lin Jing also knew the name Cerulean Cave, but that was in the game. Logically speaking, a place like Cerulean Cave had never appeared in the plot here. Even when Lin Jing was flipping through the map nearby, he had never seen the related place name.

Until just now when Lin Jing heard Sakura talking about the Hualan Cave, his eyes were a little surprised.

“It’s no wonder you don’t know about the Cerulean Cave.

As its name suggests, Cerulean Caverns is a hidden cave near Cerulean City.

However, unlike the Pokémon around our Cerulean City, the Pokémon here are of a much higher level.

Especially the strongest Pokémon bosses are not the main Pokémon of the gym leaders.

Fortunately, as long as they are not stimulated, they are not interested in the different environment outside the cave.

Plus, the Thor and Vaporeon that usually stay there will also chase away Pokémon that want to come out or guide trainers who accidentally come to the surrounding area."

Swipe~

With Sakura's introduction, Gyarados seems to have emerged from the underground undercurrent.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery is also obviously a mountain range, and the Cerulean City can be seen not far away.

"So what is this time..."

“I’m not sure either, but I’m sure something must have happened in the Hualan Cave.

In fact, if you weren't here, I would have contacted Miss Junsha and the Alliance directly.

But it seems I'm lucky."

Sakura heaved a sigh of relief thinking of this.

After all, it would be a bit troublesome for them if they really wanted to notify the alliance.

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Sakura became more serious.

Lin Jing also opened two Poké Balls and asked Flowery and Pokémon to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

At the same time, in the Hualan Gym, the water battle field.

An orange-haired girl with a single ponytail on her head opened the door with an angry look on her face.

"Sister! I heard there's another challenger, right?

No matter who he is, if he wants to get the badge of our Hualan Gym, he must defeat me first!

I just captured a powerful and cute partner!"

"Hey?"

The girl with a ferocious look on her face like a Gyarados also had a dazed expression on her face as she looked at the empty battlefield.

It looks like some kind of water-type Pokémon.

But the next moment, anger surged up again.

(〝▼皿▼)"Damn it! This time they gave me the badge without even fighting me!"

"And Sister Acorus and Sister Peony! I wonder if this group of people are going shopping again!

We are in a gym! A gym!

This group of hateful sisters who are not doing their jobs properly! "

bump--

bump--

bump--

bump--

As the girl walked away with heavy and angry steps, the surrounding floor and water seemed to shake slightly, even creating ripples.

As time slowly passed, the water battlefield returned to peace.

Well...if you ignore the broken tiles...

...
