Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 681: Ability Inheritance, Dragon Sanctuary, Xiaoshu's Second Pokémon

The teaching stage in the Pokémon world is very special and is very different from the world that Naoki lived in in his previous life.

There are no elementary schools, junior high schools or high schools here, only kindergartens, colleges and universities.

The kindergarten is for children aged 6 to 9, and teaches them some simple Pokémon knowledge, some common sense, and how to recognize words.

When the child turns ten, he or she is faced with two choices.

One is to pick up your own initial Pokémon and embark on a journey, traveling around the world with your own feet.

The second is to enter the Pokémon Academy for further studies and learn Pokémon-related knowledge.

The Padia region is the Padia College, and there are many similar places in other regions.

Universities are places for researchers, Pokémon scholars, doctors, and some scientists.

Xiaoshu is currently four years old and is not yet old enough to go to school.

But Naoki, Qishu, and the Rotom mobile phone have slowly begun to teach her some simple words.

However, compared to this matter, what is more important is to teach Xiaoshu how to better use the power of dragon riding and the power of Changpan.

The snow season has finally arrived in the Padiya region.

After the heavy snow, the entire ranch was covered in thick snow.

The weather today is pretty good, very sunny and the afternoon sun is quite warm on the earth.

The Pokémons on the ranch ran out of their homes cheering and playing in the snow to their heart's content.

We had a lot of fun making snowmen, having snowball fights, and playing hide-and-seek in the snow maze.

Qishu stayed at home to take care of the pregnancy.

Xiaoshu followed his father into the snow outside.

"Dad, what are we going to play today?" Xiaoshu seemed very much looking forward to the upcoming activities.

Should we build a giant snowman together? Or have an exciting snowball fight?
Naoki saw what Xiaoshu was thinking, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Neither."

"Huh? What should we play?" The little tree was very confused.

"Today, I will teach you how to better use the two powers hidden in your body." Naoki squatted down and waved to Gulden, who ran to the side and said, "Come, put your hand on Gulden's head."

The little tree did as he was told.

"Now, close your eyes and use your heart to talk to Gulden and feel what's in its heart." Naoki gently guided the little tree.

The little tree closed its eyes, and she asked in her heart: "Gulden, can you hear the little tree's voice?"

"Ah gah~"

Soon, the little tree heard Gulden's cry.

And through his hand placed on Gulden's head, Xiaoshu also clearly felt what Gulden was thinking at the moment.

It’s thinking: “I heard it!”

"Wow!" So amazing!

Xiaoshu suddenly opened his eyes, and then saw that his right hand was emitting a faint green light.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was a little surprised.

Learned it in one go? Did Xiaoshu master the power of Evergreen so quickly?

Genius! These two words popped up in Naoki's mind.

Could it be because of the breeding tree house? That magical tree is not only effective for Pokémon, but also for humans?

"Dad, what is this light?!" Xiaoshu asked curiously.

Naoki came back to his senses and introduced: "This is the power of Evergreen, the power given to us by nature. When you have this power, when you put your hand on the top of the Pokémon's head, you can communicate with them and sense what they are thinking without speaking."

"Also, this power allows you to help heal Pokémon's injuries. When Pokémon are injured, you can heal them."

"The power of Changpan..." Xiaoshu had never heard of this power before. She murmured, and then asked excitedly: "Then when the burning insect is injured, can we stop using the milk of life?"

She has been training the Burning Bug according to the methods in the notebook for some time. Although there are some parts that she still doesn't understand, her mother and Rotom are there and they will explain them to her.

Naoki nodded: "That's right."

"Wow!" The little tree was very happy: "This way, we don't have to worry about the burning bugs getting hurt in the future!"

Naoki touched her head and said, "But this power is limited. Excessive use will weaken our bodies. Unless the life goat milk around us is used up, it is best to use the life goat milk to heal Pokémon."

"Understand?"

Xiaoshu thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Xiaoshu understands!"

She looked up at her father in front of her - her father was looking at her tenderly against the light, and gently stroking her head with his hand. Even many years later, Xiaoshu had never forgotten this scene.

Naoki smiled slightly and said, "Then next, I will teach you another power."

"It's called the power of dragon control." Naoki stretched out his hand, covered Xiaoshu's small hand with his, and personally guided the power of dragon control in her body into Gulden's body.

"The power to control dragons?" Xiao Shu asked ignorantly.

"This is a magical power that can help Dragon Pokémon grow faster and create telepathy with Dragon Pokémon." Naoki explained: "If you have it, you can help the Dragon Pokémon around you and make them grow stronger and taller."

Hearing this, Xiaoshu carefully recalled the properties of the burning insect.

Dad seemed to have said that Infernape is a Pokémon with both bug and fire attributes?

"But there is no dragon-attribute Pokémon around Xiaoshu..." Xiaoshu was quite embarrassed. If that was the case, then wouldn't this power be useless?
"Well...actually, we have many Dragonite friends at home." Naoki said.

Dragonite? Are they the Dragonites that come to the ranch to deliver goods every day? Xiao Shu immediately thought of them.

She immediately shook her head and said, "Dragonite is Daddy's Pokémon!"

"It's not them." Naoki immediately understood what Xiaoshu meant: "To be precise, there is an island on the World Tree where many Dragonites live. You probably haven't been there yet. It's on the lower level of the Expedition Guild."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoshu's attention was instantly attracted, wow!
Naoki continued, "When you grow up a little bit, we can go to Dragonite Island together. By then, if you prove your strength to the Dragonites and gain their recognition, maybe a mini dragonet will be willing to become your Pokémon and travel with you."

"Mini dragon babies..." Xiao Shu was very curious: "What do they look like?"

All the Dratini and Haxorus in the ranch had already evolved into Dragonite and joined the delivery team. Therefore, Xiaoshu had never seen a Dratini.

Hearing this, Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "Do you want to see them?"

The little tree nodded vigorously and responded loudly: "Yes!"

Naoki thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing to do for him to stay on the ranch. It was winter and the temperature was still relatively cold here.

The weather on Dragonite Island is spring-like all year round and very warm. It would be better to take Xiaoshu there to get familiar with the Dragonites in advance.

That way, when she grows up, maybe she can go traveling directly with a Dratini or a Haxorus.

"In that case, Dad will take you to Dragonite Island to see those mini dragons."

The little tree was very much looking forward to it.

They set off as soon as they said they would. Naoki first said goodbye to Qishu, and then told the three holy beasts that he would take Xiaoshu to the World Tree. The three holy beasts nodded and said that they would stay at the ranch and wait.

Finally, Xiaoshu took the Burning Bug and, under the guidance of Naoki, passed through the reversed world of Giratina and came to the area where the Dragonites were.

The sky is blue, the sea is clear, and the golden sunlight makes the sea surface sparkle. Not far away on the sea stands a round isolated island.

The island is covered with lush green vegetation, and in the center of the island is a circular lake.

From time to time, you can see Dragonite flying up from the island. If you look closer, you can also see many Dratini and Haxorus playing in the water on the beach at the edge of the island.

The whole area presents a vibrant scene.

Naoki thought that there must be no danger in this area, so the Dragonites were no longer as fearful as before in the wild and let Dratini and Haxorus leave the island in the lake and go to the beach to play.

Xiaoshu's attention was quickly attracted to the Pokémon playing on the beach.

"Wow!"

"They are Dratini." Naoki said with a smile: "The small one is Dratini, and the big one is Haxorus. They are the evolved form of Dratini."

"Dragonite...Hackon..." Xiaoshu muttered the two names.

At this time, the group of mini dragons and Haxorus discovered them.

Many of the Haxorus knew Naoki, and they were very happy to see him coming, and they all flew over, whining. The remaining mini dragons were very young, and they must have just hatched from eggs in the past two years.

"You have evolved into Haxorus?" Naoki smiled and touched the heads of these Haxorus.

"Woo!"

The Haxorus nodded repeatedly. They were exercising very hard!
"That's awesome!" Naoki praised without hesitation.

The Haxorus were happy.

Only then did they notice the cute little human girl next to Naoki.

"Woo?"

Instead of being afraid, the Haxorus came closer and looked at the small tree curiously with their big eyes.

Naoki introduced with a smile: "Her name is Xiaoshu, she is my child."

"Woo?"

The Hackon dragons were very surprised. Naoki also has a child?

"Xiaoshu, say hello to the Haxorus." Naoki looked at his daughter.

"Hello, Haxlon, I'm Xiaoshu!"

"Woo~!"

Dragon Pokémon naturally feel close to humans who possess the power to control dragons.

Plus, the little tree has the aura of Naoki.

So after a while, the Haxorus started fighting with the little tree.

The mini dragons over there looked envious, and they looked like they wanted to play together too.

However, at this moment, the little tree invited them.

"Mini Dragon, do you want to play with Xiaoshu?" asked Xiaoshu.

The mini dragons looked at the girl in front of them, and then nodded happily: "Woo~!"

A man and several Pokémon built a sand castle on the beach.

Naoki and Gulden stood by and watched for a while, and he suddenly wanted to visit this Dragonite Island to see how the Dragonites were living here now.

"Gulden, you watch Xiaoshu over here and make sure she doesn't fall into the water," Naoki warned.

"Ah, gah?" Gulden looked over.

"I'll just take a walk around this island and be back soon." Naoki said.

"Ah, gash..." Although Gultun also wanted to go, it still agreed and chose to stay here to look after its little master.

So, Naoki went to Dragon Island alone.

It had been two years since he last came here. Although a long time had passed, the environment on Kuailong Island had hardly changed.

He saw the fruit forest that he and the Dragonites had planted, the familiar lake in the center of the island, and some working Dragonites who stayed on the island to fish and rest.

On the other side of the island, Naoki encountered the giant Dragonite and the Elder Dragonite.

The giant Dragonite happily expressed its gratitude to Naoki, thanking Naoki for bringing it here and allowing it to meet so many companions.

It lives happily here.

The elder Dragonite, a very old Dragonite in the Dragonite group, also expressed his gratitude to Naoki.

With Naoki's help, the Dragonite tribe is becoming more and more prosperous!
Not only that, the Dragonites on the island live happily every day and have endless delicious food to eat.

Elder Kuailong said that it likes to eat sweet and soft human delicacies.

It's just that it couldn't remember the name of the delicacy for a moment.

"Bofen?" Naoki asked.

Elder Kuailong nodded repeatedly, yes, that's the name!
"Then I'll send you some more later." Naoki said with a smile.

Elder Kuailong was very happy.

Meanwhile, on the beach.

Xiaoshu, Dratini and Haxorus built sand castles. At the same time, she was carefully observing these unfamiliar dragon Pokémon.

I have to say, these two Pokémon, Dratini and Haxorus, are so cute!

The Haxorus, like the Tailebagos in the ranch, are very enthusiastic and love to play.

The mini dragons were a little reserved at first, but now they are playing happily.

Only one of the mini dragons looked a little shy. It just watched everyone play, looking a little pitiful.

"Dad said that Dratini and Haxorus are dragon-type Pokémon..."

Therefore, the power of dragon control should be used at this time!
Seeing this, Xiao Shu reached out to the mini dragon and communicated with it using the power of dragon control:

"Mini Dragon, why don't you play with everyone?"

When the magical power surged into his body, the shy mini dragon was immediately stunned.

Such a warm feeling...

"Eh? Does Dratini like this power?" Seeing this, Xiao Shu took the initiative to introduce: "This is the power of the dragon! It's the power my father taught me. Since you like it, I'll give you some more!"

After some operations, a happy expression appeared on Mini Dragon's face.

Before it knew it, it had run into the arms of the small tree, looking very happy.

After a while, when Naoki came back, this was the scene he saw.

"Xiaoshu, it's time for us to go home!" Naoki said.

"Okay, Dad!" Xiaoshu stood up and wanted to go back.

But the mini dragon followed the little tree with a reluctant look on its face.

"Woo..."

"Be good, Mini Dragon! Xiaoshu is going home now. I'll come and play with you next time!" said Xiaoshu.

"Woo...!" Dragonite looked very sad.

Xiaoshu was a little confused, but still asked: "Mini Dragon, do you want to go home with us?"

Hearing this, Dratini nodded repeatedly. It could feel that the magical energy could make it grow faster. Moreover, this human was very friendly. If she could become its trainer...

Then it will definitely become a very powerful Pokémon in the future!

Seeing the look on Mini Dragon's face, Xiao Shu felt very embarrassed: "Dad..."

Naoki: "..."

His eyebrows twitched and he thought to himself, isn't this too fast?

It hadn't even been three hours yet, and she was able to make a Dratini chasing a small tree her Pokémon.

But on second thought, Viridian Force and Dragonite have extreme affinity for Pokémon. Plus, since they are all children, they can naturally play together. It makes sense that Dratini is willing to become a tree Pokémon.

Naoki looked at Xiaoshu and asked, "Dragonite wants to go with you. Are you willing to be its trainer?"

Xiao Shu was stunned: "Is it really possible?"

Naoki nodded, but still reminded: "But you are still young, I am afraid you don't have the ability to take care of two Pokémon at the same time..."

Before Naoki could finish, Xiaoshu quickly assured him, "I will try my best!"

Naoki: "..."

Xiaoshu! It's not easy to take care of two Pokémon!

Especially Pokémon at this stage are still immature, and it is easy for them to become jealous of each other when they see their trainer treating another Pokémon better than themselves.

To handle the relationship between two Pokémon is also a very difficult test for a trainer.
