Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

at dusk.

In the advanced private training center in Shuanglong City.

"So... didn't you say we would train tomorrow? Why are you calling me out so late at night?"

Lu Yuncong, who was still holding a large pillow in his hand, looked at Bai Yi with dissatisfaction, and his face was full of sleepiness.

He heard from Bai Yi in the morning that training would start the next day, so he naturally went to sleep in the afternoon. However, he was woken up by a phone call from Bai Yi in the middle of his sleep.

He was furious, but he had to ask Bai Yi for a favor, so he had to come out obediently.

"Tonight was just to finalize the drill and get them to know each other a little bit more, not really to train."

Bai Di was not embarrassed at all. He pulled Lu Yuncong and asked him to release both pairs of elves.

A total of twelve Pokémons, big and small, appeared on the training ground.

This is the largest training ground in Shuanglong City. Bai Yu booked a private room, which is much larger than two football fields. Although it is not as good as the venue specially used for Dynamax battles, it is sufficient for training.

With the strength of the lowest overlord and the highest top gym owner, the energy emitted by the twelve elves was slightly stirred, and the wind flowing in the gym was disrupted.

"Vulcan Moth, Kairos, Heracross, Ancient Dragonfly, Giant Mantis, and Foretos."

This is a member of Green Cloud Cong's team.

The remaining six Pokémon, including Nixie and Alidos, are Team Two.

"An~"

In the second team, a ladybug named An saw Lu Yuncong and her eyes widened into smiles. She hugged Lu Yuncong and acted like a spoiled child.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoqi, don't finish it yet. There are still things to deal with."

Lu Yuncong's hair was messed up by the rubbing, and his eyes were full of admiration. He did not blame An Ladybug for the impact she had on his image.

"Haha!"

The giant mantis clashed its pincers, stood in front of Lu Yuncong, and looked directly at Bai Yi, as if asking Lu Yuncong whether this was an enemy or an opponent.

"Giant Mantis, take Ladybug and the others with you to introduce yourself to Bai Yi. Oh, and bring the Ancient Dragonfly with you as well."

In Team One, Kairos and Heracross have both seen White-Haired Fern. There is no need to say much. Foretos is a loner and doesn't like to communicate with outsiders, so just let it play by itself.

As for the ancient giant dragonfly, Lu Yuncong thought of its troublesome personality and thought it would be better to let it harass Bai Yi instead of using it to bother himself.

"Quite scary."

The giant mantis nodded, waved its giant claws, and the six members of the second team followed obediently behind it, acting like a mature big brother.

"null."

"You go over there quickly."

Just when the ancient giant dragonfly was about to twist its body and give Lu Yuncong a warm hug, it saw Lu Yuncong's frosty face and stretched out his hand to refuse.

"null!!"

The ancient giant dragonfly was struck by a bolt from the blue, petrified in mid-air, and then fell to the ground like a piece of paper, with a look of disbelief on its face.

My dear master actually rejected my hug again, which really makes me sad!

In response to this, Lu Yuncong covered his face with a fan, he really couldn't bear to watch it.

This ancient giant dragonfly was fine when it was a child, but ever since it evolved into a two-meter-tall creature, it has started to like hugging people.

At the beginning it was still gentle, and Lu Yuncong could still accept it, but later on, the ancient giant dragonfly seemed to have no idea how hard its body was and how sharp its limbs were, and it hugged him with more and more strength, and Lu Yuncong almost died in its embrace.

From then on, Lu Yuncong refused the hug of the ancient giant dragonfly, although he knew that great strength was an inevitable consequence of the ancient giant dragonfly's increased strength, and hugging was also the other party's way of expressing love.

But...for the sake of his own life, Lu Yuncong could only put on a stern face and ask it to hug other friends.

The ancient giant dragonfly with Lu Yuncong's cold face lowered its head, and even its wings flapped weakly, up and down, which was heartbreaking.

Despite the noise, the ancient giant dragonfly still obediently came to Bai Yi. Looking at this "friend" of its master, the ancient giant dragonfly subconsciously opened its body, wanting to give the other party a friendly hug, but thinking of the pain on Lu Yuncong's face when he was strangled, the ancient giant dragonfly stopped where it was, with nowhere to put its six outstretched limbs.

"Hello, Ancient Dragonfly. I'll leave the rest of the training to you."

Bai Yu didn't know what happened between the Ancient Giant Dragonfly and Lu Yuncong, but he could see that the Ancient Giant Dragonfly really needed a hug right now. As for being injured...

Bai Yi's physical fitness is comparable to that of a overlord. It's unclear whether the ancient giant dragonfly can beat him in hand-to-hand combat, let alone just a hug.

“Empty…Empty?!!”

While the ancient giant dragonfly was still in a daze, the familiar feeling of a hug from its body made it tremble uncontrollably.

The pair of compound eyes that would scare ordinary people were now rippling, as if small stones were thrown into the calm water surface. The rippling was not big, but continuous.

The ancient giant dragonfly couldn't believe that the human in front of it actually gave it a hug and held it tightly.

The warmth coming from that tiny body almost made the ancient giant dragonfly cry.

If it had.

"null!!"

The ancient giant dragonfly shouted loudly, saying that it would do its best to cooperate with Bai Yi's training, and it was almost like patting its chest.

"Thanks."

"Quite scary."

Mantis stood in front of Bai Yi with its six little ones and introduced them to Bai Yi one by one, while Gengar acted as an interpreter.

"Well... in the next few months, I hope Heracross and the Ancient Dragonfly can teach Gengar how to better utilize and manipulate energy."

"Eh? I have a question. My Vulcan Moth's control over energy is far beyond what Xiao He and the others can compare to. I think you can see this, Bai Yi. Why don't we let Vulcan Moth teach Gengar?"

In Green Cloud Cong's opinion, Gengar is one of those Pokémon that possesses a huge energy treasure, but does not know how to use it and can only output it all at once. He has extremely high talent, and as long as Vulcan Moth gives him a little guidance, he will definitely make great progress.

"No, I know that Vulcan Moth is good at using energy. I also know that following Vulcan Moth can give Gengar the biggest boost in a short period of time, but this boost is not the most suitable for Gengar."

Bai Di shook his head and said slowly.

"A Pokémon like Heracross is not as good at handling energy as its physical body, but Mr. Green Cloud Cong, your Heracross is able to master energy smoothly. I think there must be a unique training method. If this method can be learned by Gengar, the improvement may be even greater."

Heracross’s talent is one thing, but there is another thing that Bai Kui didn’t tell Lu Yuncong, and that is Gengar’s age.

Normal ghost-type Pokémon, even with the intervention of a trainer, need a long time to accumulate and grow.

But Gengar is different. It was born as a little Gengar, straddling the two forms of Gastly and Haunter. The basically zero experience and the increasing energy form a deformed growth.

If it weren't for Machinedramon's teaching, Gengar's current strength would probably be even more terrible.

This is also the reason why Bai Di hopes that Gengar will learn from Heracross. The foundation is more important for the future.
