[Pokemon] Late Autumn

After training for a few more days, Late Qiu once again placed special delicacies in front of the young tooth dragon as a reward for its extra efforts.

It's interesting to say that the young tooth dragon actually learned the "provocation" move in the past two days, although the effect is really... a bit funny.

Summarize the causes and consequences.

Because he was bullied so badly, the young tooth dragon was furious for a moment. Before his anger was about to explode, he learned this somewhat special move without any teacher. But the result was...being bullied even worse.

Because the function of provocation is to make the opponent angry, he can only use attack moves in the next short period of time. And by coincidence, Young Tooth Dragon boldly provoked Heiluga——

This isn't exactly adding fuel to the fire.

In response, Heiluga responded with a merciless response.

The poor young tooth dragon really worked hard to train its tolerance for the moves. As soon as the training was over, it slipped into the arms of Shen Qiu and complained.

"It seems to be a lot stronger?" Shenqiu suppressed a smile and weighed the weight of the young tooth dragon.

The young dragon skillfully acted coquettishly in Shen Qiu's arms, and when Shen Qiu wasn't paying attention, he turned his head and glared at Hei Lujia, who had just taken the opportunity to deal a cruel blow to him.

This guy...how dare he do that?

Hei Lujia felt that the strings in his mind snapped in an instant.

It glared back fiercely with eyes full of anger, and its sinister eyes seemed to want to swallow the baby dragon in one bite.

"Okay, okay, you two."

There are still some minor scars left on the baby tooth dragon's body after training, and it looks really pitiful. And it is now the time for its body to grow. Late Qiu looked at it worriedly, and recalled the group of little guys having fun in the Dragon's Hometown.

Many people in Dragon's Hometown keep elves outside and let them play and eat on their own. There, it seems that everyone... doesn't put much effort into food?

But since as a trainer, you should always be responsible for the elves - to maintain such a high-load training state, it is indeed necessary for you to put some effort into food nutrition.

Maybe I should ask Acorus for some advice on raising elves?

In late autumn, I began to think about how to make my elves eat more nutritious food.

"Is it time to leave for Chenghua City?"

Seeing Shen Qiu standing there in deep thought, Yasha came over curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"Sure enough, every trainer must have the ability of a breeder."

Late Qiu suddenly said seriously.

Asha:?

As a result, the two of them kept discussing this issue on the road from Kanaz City to Chenghua City.

Yasha believes that these are two different professions with different directions and different purposes. There is no need to work part-time, otherwise she will be too tired.

"If you say that, why do you need breeders? Do you still want all trainers to take the breeder qualification certificate test? How is it possible? How can people have so much energy?"

Shen Qiu had a different opinion on this: "However, when training elves, trainers should naturally pay attention to the cultivation of elves, right? Just training without nurturing, then what are elves? Tools in their hands? But even tools need maintenance Right?"

The two argued all the way without even noticing that they had entered Chenghua City.

"Then, it's enough to learn a part of the breeding knowledge that is enough - and leave the rest to the breeders."

They were too immersed in the conversation, and when they reacted, they realized that a male voice had intervened in their conversation.

"Xiao Gang!" Shen Qiu was surprised.

"Late Qiu, long time no see! And - this beautiful lady!"

Xiaogang jumped in front of Yasha at lightning speed, even holding a bouquet of flowers that had been conjured up at an unknown time in his hand: "You ignited the flame of love in my heart! Let us..."

"Yes, yes, if you want to burn it, you can burn it yourself." Xiao Sheng reluctantly dragged away the embarrassed Xiao Gang.

Yasha had never seen this scene before, and she froze on the spot, dumbfounded.

"That's what he looks like."

Shen Qiu had some understanding of Xiaogang's... character, so she could only laugh awkwardly when seeing this scene, not surprised at all.

"Long time no see, Xiaosheng, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Long time no see, sister Shen Qiu! Hei Lujia too!" Xiao Sheng greeted politely.

Heiluga nodded slightly.

It made a pretty good impression on these people.

"Are you here to challenge Chenghua Gym in Late Autumn? Let's talk first, I want to be the first to challenge!"

Xiaozhi didn't say anything, he just talked about the battle.

"...Don't worry about that hot-blooded idiot."

Xiaoyao sighed and looked curiously at the strange woman with red hair next to Shen Qiu, "Shen Qiu, how are you doing lately? Who is this beautiful woman next to you?"

"This is Asha, my friend."

Shen Qiu introduced her friends to each other, "They are Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng, and they are all my friends."

Yasha was very familiar with her and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Yasha! At the moment, I am traveling with Shen Qiu."

"...What do you mean by 'approximately'?" Shen Qiu glanced at Yasha.

Why do you feel like you have complained more and more since you met Yasha?

So, as a "counterattack", Shenqiu revealed Yasha's true face without mercy.

"You must have challenged the Kaoyan Gym, right? That powerful gym leader is Asha's grandfather."

"Hey!" Yasha tried to stop Shen Qiu.

However, Late Qiu blinked and continued to fan the flames: "Mr. Mulla is the former Four Heavenly Kings, and you must have seen his level. If you ask me, Asha, as a trained successor, is a trainer worth fighting against."

It seemed as if there was a little devil's tail swinging behind her. She had a sly look on her face, but deliberately introduced her experience about Asha in a very admiring tone.

"No, no, how could I be that powerful!"

Yasha waved her hands quickly, the tips of her ears turning red, "That's too exaggerated, right?"

But it's too late.

Sure enough, as expected, Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Asha! Please accept my challenge!"

...Aren’t you going to challenge the Chenghua Gym? ! Asha is shocked.

Fortunately, Asha didn't think it was a big deal and happily accepted the challenge under the other party's eager eyes. A few people discussed it and decided to let Xiaozhi and Shenqiu challenge the gym first. After they finished the competition, they would directly use the battle field of Chenghua Gym to compete.

"Agree!" "These are three battles worthy of attention."

Both Xiaosheng and Xiaogang think this is very good.

"Okay, okay, let's go there quickly-"

Xiaoyao urged them, unable to wait to go home, "I really want to see my father and mother as soon as possible."

"Wait...who are you talking about?"

"Mom, Dad...?"

Late Qiu and Yasha were stunned at the same time.

"Don't you know, Late Qiu?" Xiaozhi asked strangely, "Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's father is Mr. Qianli."

Shenqiu had just found out, and her bright red eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing her like this, Xiaoyao felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked away from Shen Qiu in embarrassment. She touched her nose and explained dryly: "I'm sorry, I've never had a chance to say it." ……Hahaha."

Xiaozhi went to the Elf Center to make final preparations before the battle. Shenqiu and Yasha went to Chenghua Gym with Xiaoyao and the others.

Although it was the first time for Xiaoyao and Yasha to meet, they were both very talkative and had very compatible personalities. Not only that, Xiaoyao's chosen Yu Sanjia was the Fire Chicken, and with the addition of Hei Lujia in late autumn, they suddenly discovered in surprise that the initial elves of the three people were all fire-type.

Invisibly, their relationship seemed to be drawn closer at once, and their familiar tone seemed to be like sisters who have known each other for many years.

…Are all girls’ friendships like this?

Xiaogang saw such questions in Xiaosheng's eyes. But at this moment, he could only nod with a complicated expression.

In this way, the three girls who were talking and laughing and Xiaogang and Xiaosheng who were inexplicably silent on the road finally arrived in front of the Chenghua Gym.

The person who came out to greet him was Kenji, the student of the owner Chisato.

"Miss Xiaoyao, Master Xiaosheng, welcome back!"

Xiaoyao happily went up to say hello: "Long time no see Kenci! How is everyone lately?"

"Long time no see, Brother Kenci!" Xiao Sheng also ran over excitedly, "Hey, do you know where dad is?"

"Ah -" Hearing this, Kenji's expression became a little strange, as if he was hiding something, and his words became hesitant, "Teacher...he is not in the gym now."

"Is that so..."

"But, about the teacher..."

Kenci hesitated, scratched his head, put down the broom in his hand, and whispered, "Actually, something strange is happening now..."

Coincidentally, just when Ken was about to say something, Mr. Chisato's wife, Mrs. Mitsuko, came out of the room and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Mom, we're back!" Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng both ran over happily and couldn't help but share what happened during the trip.

Xiao Sheng looked left and right and saw only his mother, Mitsuko, and curiously asked where his father had gone. What is abnormal is that Mrs. Mitsuko, who has always been gentle and elegant, keeps avoiding her husband Qianli's affairs.

it's wired.

Shenqiu and Yasha frowned and looked at each other, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Nothing, nothing." Mrs. Mitsuko realized that there were other people there, and quickly changed the subject with a smile: "It's the same with Xiaogang-kun, long time no see! Late Qiu, I also remember you, Kuruga is also very energetic, which is really good; also Yes, Asha...is it Asha? I still remember you when you were a child, but I didn’t expect that you are a big girl now.

Come on, come in quickly! I just made lunch, if you don’t mind, come and eat together! "

……

Yes, the sandwiches made by Mrs. Mitsuko are delicious, and the soup she makes is also delicious... But every time she deliberately avoids any questions about her husband Qianli, it seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

"By the way, Mom! Let me tell you, my sister's butterfly hunting was in the gorgeous contest..."

Mitsuko, who was standing in the kitchen, suddenly changed her expression. She gritted her teeth, as if she was holding back some emotion, and the spoon she held tightly in her hand collided with the pot, making a crisp sound.

"Ah, no! No hunting of swallowtail butterflies!"

Kenci felt that his back was covered with sweat. He quickly waved his hands and immediately changed the subject and said, "Xiao Gang, do you want another bowl? Let me add it for you!"

"Oh...oh, thank you."

Late autumn carefully observed Mrs. Mitsuko through her eating movements. The other party's face was vaguely angry and disappointed, and then I thought of the only missing male protagonist in this strange atmosphere...

She narrowed her eyes slightly and had some bad guesses in her mind.

Everyone also noticed that something was wrong, but they didn't know what the specific problem was. They could only avoid the words related to "Qianli" and "hunting swallowtail butterflies" for the time being and talk about other things.

After finishing lunch in this weird atmosphere, everyone looked at each other, still confused.

"Okay, it'll be fine once we get here."

Kenji took them to the greenhouse garden behind the house and breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam can't hear you here."

This is the greenhouse garden of Chenghua Gym. Thousand-mile lazy man, hyperactive ape and vacation king also rest here. It is a very comfortable and warm place.

But the warm sunshine in the afternoon did not make them relax in any way, especially Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng, who frowned tightly.

"So, what happened?" Shen Qiu asked straight to the point.
