Pokemon Dawn

Gyarados is one of the most threatening enemies for any aquatic Pokémon.

Amidst the hoarse roar, the stinging jellyfish group retreated a few meters fearfully, and the two sides faced off across the water. Xiao Ye was stunned, seeing that Gyarados seemed eager to attack, she quickly put on a "Forget it, forget it, brother, forget it" posture to signal her companions to calm down, while not forgetting to add the most important words in a low voice.

Xiaoye: "If we hit it, we will lose the money of three meals."

Gyarados: ""

One person and one dragon looked at each other and reached a consensus decisively.

Gyarados looked up to the sky and roared, as if it was about to emit destructive light in the next second. The stinging jellyfish either retreated or took a defensive posture, but the red light suddenly enveloped their opponents, carrying their huge bodies back into the small pokeball.

The next moment, the trainer turned around and ran away like an electric mouse when he saw the boss cat. Within a few seconds, not even the afterimage could be found. The jellyfish with only stinging stings looked at each other in the river, their heads full of questions, and they all suspected that they had met some idiot who was pretending to be a fool.

Fortunately, these precious "protected Pokémon" only live in water, and humans can easily get rid of them. After casually turning behind a rock and using waveguide detection to confirm that the area was safe, Xiaoye released the Gyarados and checked whether it had been stung by the stinging jellyfish.

The stinging jellyfish's tentacles can secrete dangerous venom, which not only paralyzes the victim but also causes unbearable pain. It is one of the most difficult Pokémon in the water. Xiaoye carefully inspected the area where the Gyarados was stabbed, and was relieved when she saw that the scales were not damaged and the Gyarados itself showed no symptoms of poisoning.

"The stinging jellyfish is very poisonous. Don't do such a dangerous thing next time." Xiaoye only thought that Gyarados wanted to fight on a whim, so she took out the medicine bottle and sprayed it twice, feeling worried. warned.

In Xiaoye's impression, although Gyarados is very reckless in fights, it is always willing to accept suggestions that can avoid injury. After all, no Pokémon likes pain. But as soon as the usual words came out of his mouth, Gyarados immediately widened his eyes and put on a very unhappy face.

"Roar"

Xiaoye was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, she added based on the principle of "trainers should do logistical work well", "But I have prepared the antidote, so don't worry if you are accidentally stabbed."

Gyarados: Get even more angry and "roar"

The trainer suddenly became even more confused and looked at the electric mouse on his shoulder for help.

Pichu: "It says Houqiu."

Night:""

The two sides stared at each other in a stalemate for a moment. Xiaoye recollected the whole process from being attacked to the tactical retreat. Suddenly an idea flashed and she tentatively said, "Thank you for helping me just now. Please do the same next time."

As soon as he said this, the dark blue water dragon immediately stopped staring and nodded with satisfaction, "Oh."

The big water dragon got the answer he wanted, and went to bite the fruit on the tree next to him with ease. Xiaoye and Pichu Man-Rat looked at each other, and their heads were filled with questions.

The Gyarados group has a rough temperament and is not the "gregarious" type. Even if they are subdued, they usually don't get too close to their trainers or fellow Pokémon, and Saya's Gyarados is no exception.

All along, its relationship with its trainer has been more of a companion than a companion. The trainer provides life resources and training guidance, and the Pokémon executes the trainer's orders and actively fights when necessary. In addition, Gyarados does not pay attention to what the trainer is doing, and rarely steps in to provide help unless it encounters a life-threatening situation.

In fact, this kind of "employee-employer" relationship is quite common among trainers. Humans and Pokémon trust each other's decisions and abilities, but do not overly integrate into each other's lives. They don't need to be more "like family" to work side by side for the same goal. Such a bond is sometimes even stronger than a relationship maintained by emotion.

Such partners are not uncommon in Xiaoye's team, and Gyarados is considered the most "employee" among them. As a bully in the river that once lived alone, it barely got to know the humans with the Charmanders, and found them quite pleasing to the eye. It happened to be tired of staying in the river and wanted a change of environment, so it casually joined in. team. At the beginning of the journey, it didn't even cooperate with having its scales washed, with "Don't care if I like to be clean" written all over its face. If Xiaoye wasn't quite agile, she might have had to be bathed with water cannons three times before she could clean the Gyarados.

And such a Gyarados would actively intervene in the battle when the stinging jellyfish attacks and help the trainer block the attack. It is really abnormal. It clearly knows that if there is a fight, three stinging jellyfish will not be enough for Xiaoye to beat with one hand. of.

Probably because the concentration of question marks in the eyes of humans and electric rats was too high, Gyarados was staring at it until the fruit no longer tasted good, so he had to blow angrily into the trainer's face, and cut off his short hair that was not neat in the first place. Blow more untidy.

Half a year ago, when it entered Xiaoye's elf ball, it really didn't think about having a good relationship with this human dwarf.

Firstly, the Gyarados clan lacks this string in its brain; secondly, it has experienced the pain of being abandoned on the battlefield after being gullible when it was young, so it inevitably has a preconceived impression of humans as a "coward". .

Unlike the cowardly boy many years ago, its second owner possesses enough power in her own right. She does not need to fear most difficulties. She can escape with a sense of escape even if she is forced to make a strategic retreat due to livelihood. . For Gyarados, this is of course a good thing. It doesn't have to keep an eye on the trainer's safety in the wild and can do its own thing leisurely.

However, too much power also obscures the answers that should have been obtained at the beginning of the journey.

If the crisis she faces is far beyond what the trainer can solve with strength, will she rise to the challenge, or will she leave something behind like the "previous human" and run away regardless?

Today's Gyarados is no longer a weak Pokémon afraid of being abandoned. It calmly looked at its trainer from a brand new perspective as a bystander until it followed the human to the land of Mount Aso.

On the day when the volcanic lava dyed the sky red, it saw the God of Niwa who was so powerful that all living creatures trembled, and also witnessed the rage that could burn almost everything. That was what Gyarados, the god who stood at the pinnacle of power in the old days, saw with his own eyes. Charizard, who was not afraid of anything, subconsciously curled up in the translucent ball and trembled slightly uncontrollably.

But their trainer didn't tremble or flinch, even though her strength couldn't even withstand a casual breath of the flame bird.

When the young humans rushed towards the fire, Gyarados's calm inspection finally reached the end. It decided to recognize its second trainer as not only a "fairly qualified employer", but also as a comrade who could trust each other with his life.

Ultimately, what touches it is not "strength" but "courage."

The trainer had no way of knowing what Gyarados was thinking, and the thick-lined water dragon didn't bother to tell him exactly what he was thinking. It simply and roughly patted the trainer's back with its tail, then tapped its hard scales and held its head high.

The human girl's confused expression gradually turned into thoughtfulness, and then into confusion.

The big water dragon saw his trainer raising his head with a confident expression of "I completely understand what you mean." He said to it with a smile, "No problem, then I will ask you to protect me from now on, Brother Long."

Gyarados: ""

I was a little happy, but I felt like something was not right.

Forget it, Brother Long, forget it, if you have time to argue with humans, you might as well swallow a few more fruits.

Putting aside the sudden incident for the time being, Xiaoye opened the waveguide for detection, avoiding the area where the stinging jellyfish inhabited, and went around to a safe riverside to continue collecting cold vanilla.

The morning passed and she gained a lot. She stopped contentedly and began to prepare for the afternoon training.

Most areas of Snow Wind Mountain are deserted, and there are only a few Pokémon groups. It is not difficult to find an open space suitable for training. They finally chose an uninhabited valley in order to practice their long-distance detection capabilities. This work was completed by Riolu. As a result, the puppy had not even started training, and it was already so nervous that its ears fell down.

The plan for pre-game training was finalized during the cruise and was explained to the Pokémon in detail. After the trainer briefly reiterated the key points, the Pokémon returned to their respective places and began a new training topic.

The venue is divided into two areas according to "single training" and "sparring". The area of ​​the latter is almost twice that of the former. In fact, these two and a half sparring combinations gather the most destructive and best at demolition players. Guys, if the venue is too small, it might endanger the fish in the pond.

Among them, Riolu and Yukidouji are considered the most low-key couple in the "sparring" group.

As the latest member to join the team, Riolu's fighting style has not yet been formed and is not suitable for practicing complex moves. The current training is still based on basic skills. In order to better utilize the power of the ripple, its task is to avoid the attacks of the Snow Boy while blindfolded.

Riolu's detection skills are not yet proficient, and his reactions are often slow when sensing the surrounding situation and fighting. If it were to fight other Pokémon, it would probably be beaten to the ground, but it would be just right for Yukidou to be its opponent.

The little guy didn't think it was a fight. Sometimes he bumped forward, sometimes he puffed out air-conditioning. His moves were not lethal, but he was having fun by himself. Whenever the blindfolded Riolu successfully dodges, he will cheer enthusiastically, which immediately makes the puppy so confused that it almost loses its ability to walk.

Unlike the new members, Gyarados and Dabi Bird's training has entered the "advanced mode".

After referring to the 36 cases of using moves and Captain Xiaotian's suggestions, Xiaoye carefully planned the move combinations for them that should be carefully polished next. The two capable men's new training programs both centered on "Storm", so it was natural for them to become sparring opponents.

Gyarados learned the move "Water Wave" a long time ago, but he has never practiced it. The power is decent, but the firing speed of the move is pitifully slow compared to the water cannon, making it difficult to hit a moving opponent.

Water Wave is actually a very special move. After hitting the target, the water flow spreads instantly. Not only can it change the environment in a small area, disrupt and restrain the Pokémon, but the Pokémon caught in the water flow may also fall into chaos due to the shock wave. The usage is flexible and efficient, and it is very practical. value.

In order to make up for the lack of launch speed of the water wave, Xiaoye asked Gyarados to try to use "Storm" as an auxiliary, using wind pressure to accelerate the flight of the water ball, so that the move would be as explosive as the fire-breathing dragon's flame splash.

It is not easy to release two moves at the same time. But Gyarados had already mastered the technique of maintaining the storm while superimposing surfing and creating micro-tsunamis before the Quartz League game, and had experience in dual-purpose distraction. Therefore, Big Water Dragon is full of confidence in the new subject and feels that he can definitely practice the powerful "Storm Water Bomb" move.

Its rival, Dabi Bird, is also trying to use Storm as a persistent move.

Under the instructions of the trainer, Dabi Bird reduced the intensity of the storm and expanded its range, creating a "storm field" that made it difficult for Pokémon to open its eyes and see. At the same time, the awakened power of the electric attribute either releases flashes of light to capture vision, or creates a slight sense of paralysis to restrict the enemy's movements; the light blade of the air slash blends into the storm invisibly, making its shape difficult to detect with the naked eye, taking advantage of the enemy. Don't wait for an opportunity to attack.

The two Pokémon were each practicing different moves during the sparring match, and the entire valley was filled with wind and dust. Fortunately, Xiaoye had planned and arranged them in the farthest corner, so as not to turn other Pokémon into earth Pokémon.

As for the "half" of the two and a half groups, it was the fire-breathing dragon he was fighting with.

During the Quartz Alliance, it learned to be a stand-in through the move machine, but its proficiency was completely insufficient, and the stand-in even flew crookedly.

In order to truly bring out the functionality of this "must-learn move for professional trainers", Charizard is working hard to learn to control his stand. The trainer had already ordered not to use any moves for the time being and to start practicing with ordinary fighting, but the "two" Charizards still fought earth-shatteringly, smashing a rock and flattening two bushes from time to time, making it look like thunder in the valley.

Xiaoye observed the training of the demolition team from a distance and felt that in order to protect her clothes, it would be better not to get close for the time being.

She was about to turn around to check the progress of the individual training groups when a strange sound suddenly came from the mountains in the distance.

The sound was somewhat similar to an elephant's roar, but the tone was thick and rough, with a stiffness that did not belong to a living thing, which made people feel uncomfortable. Pichu felt his scalp numb for no reason, and the hair all over his body exploded. He swooped to the trainer's feet, and then he dared to carefully poke out half of his ears.

The roar of the elephant carries echoes throughout the valley. The aftermath did not dissipate, but was swallowed up by the crash that followed.

Compared to the howl of a suspected creature, the source of the roaring impact was closer. Xiaoye raised her head and saw smoke rising from the river in the distance.

The too long distance made the waveguide detection ineffective, but with just vision, Xiaoye could still conclude that the smoke-filled area was within the scope of the Pokémon Sanctuary.

She thought for a moment and temporarily stopped the Pokémon's training.

"Let's go take a look." Xiaoye said.

small theater:

Riolu: Looking at the demolition team next door, I am fascinated that one day, I will also use such a powerful move.
