Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 685 Xiaoshu’s Exclusive Teacher
Hearing this, Naoki felt inexplicably relieved.

Fortunately, it was just "the headmaster was also shocked by her performance" instead of "the headmaster was also beaten up by her Pokémon."

"I understand, teacher, thank you very much for your work." Naoki turned his head and glanced at Xiaoshu who was standing on tiptoe to wash his hands in the sink.

"You're welcome. This is what we should do. Xiaoshu is a very well-behaved and popular child!" The female teacher smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

Just at this time, Qishu returned to the ranch riding on Dragonite.

Seeing Naoki standing there sighing, she was immediately very surprised: "Huh? What happened? Did something happen at the ranch?"

Naoki couldn't help but sigh again, and then complained to Qishu:
"Your daughter is amazing. She became the leader of the entire kindergarten on her first day of school."

"?"

Hearing this, a big question mark appeared above Qi Shu’s head.

What? Big Sister? Is that still their daughter?
Although Xiaoshu is indeed very lively and cheerful, such a thing shouldn't happen, right?
"…She commanded the Tailebagos and the others to beat up all the children with Pokémon in the park. Even children who were several years older than her were no match for her. Even the director of the park almost fell into her hands." Naoki briefly recounted his daughter's heroic performance today.

After hearing this, Qi Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It looks like Xiaoshu's kindergarten career is going very smoothly!"

Naoki gave her a strange look.

"Oh, don't worry!" Qi Shu said, "You know what kind of personality Xiao Shu has. She just trained on her own for so long and wants to fight with other trainers."

Naoki was slightly stunned. This was not wrong.

However, he was still a little worried. Now he just beat all the trainers. It would be bad if it developed into school violence in the future.

After all, the title of "Big Sister" does sound full of social flavor.

In order to avoid that incident from happening, during lunch, Naoki began to ask Xiaoshu about the situation in the kindergarten in a roundabout way.

"Xiaoshu!" asked the old father Naoki worriedly.

There were many Pokémon battles today, and Xiaoshu was in a very good mood. She drank the mushroom cream soup in the bowl, wiped the soup from her mouth, turned around and asked:

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"How do you feel about your first day of school today?" Naoki asked.

"School is fun!" As soon as he said this, Xiaoshu became excited: "Now I am the best trainer in the kindergarten! The principal and the teacher all praised me!"

Naoki: "..."

He thought about it and then changed the way he asked the question.

"So how many classmates did you make cry today?"

"Beat her till she cried?" Xiaoshu frowned.

"Are there any children who cried because they lost the Pokémon battle with you? How many are there?" Naoki asked.

"They wanted to have a Pokémon battle with me!" Xiaoshu quickly shook his head to defend himself: "I didn't beat them to tears!"

Naoki: "..."

His eyebrows twitched. Wow, they even used the word "we".

"When they cried, did anyone laugh at them? Like, 'Come on, you're so weak.'"

Xiao Shu recalled carefully, then shook his head and said, "No! Everyone admires me!"

Hearing this, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoshu also realized that her father seemed to have something to say to her.

"Did Daddy say anything?"

Naoki nodded, "Yes, Dad does have some things that need your attention that he wants to tell you."

The little tree looked over.

"In school, you must never intentionally bully your classmates or laugh at them because they are weak. Do you understand?" Naoki was afraid that his daughter would take the lead in bullying others.

"Xiaoshu didn't bully them! They just wanted to play with me!" Xiaoshu opened his eyes wide, looking very innocent.

"That's fine." Naoki paused, and then said, "Of course, we don't bully others, and we can't be bullied by others. If someone laughs at you for being from the countryside, you can beat them hard with Taile Bagos! We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it!"

There are many nobles in the Pokémon world.

If he remembered correctly, Xiaozhi had encountered some nobles who looked down on his background during his travels.

"Xiao Shu knows!" Xiao Shu nodded and said, "Yandi and the others will protect me!"

Naoki was slightly stunned: "En Di and the others are going to school today too?"

No wonder he didn't see the three of them here when he returned to the ranch in the morning. He thought they had gone to the World Tree to find the Phoenix King.

"Everyone, please protect the little tree together in the dark!" The little tree was very happy. Although the teachers did not notice Yan Emperor, she discovered him at once!
"Okay!" Naoki nodded in response. With the three sacred beasts protecting the little tree, there was no need to worry about the little tree being bullied.

After finishing her meal, Xiaoshu took a nap as usual. The Burning Bug and the Mini Dragon accompanied her on either side and they fell into a deep sleep.

The sunlight outside the window shines on them, making them look quiet and beautiful.

Just looking at it makes people relax.

Naoki smiled, walked over to Xiaoshu to cover her with the quilt, gently touched her little head, then walked out of the room and slowly closed the door.

"Xiaoshu fell asleep?" Qishu asked softly while changing Youshu's diaper.

Naoki nodded. Thinking back to how Xiaoshu looked this morning, he couldn't help but complain:

"Your daughter is really amazing. The other kids were crying, but she just entered the classroom and immediately pulled a little boy with Electric Swallow to fight with him, and then beat him until he cried. I don't know who she inherited this from."

Qi Shu: "...Anyway, you won't follow me!"

She never did anything like this when she was a child!
“Hehe!” Qi Shu narrowed his eyes, looking mischievous, and said, “I seem to remember that someone also used Gulden to fight against a passing rookie trainer, right?”

Naoki: "..."

Well, it seems there is an answer.

"Yushu, you can't learn from your sister in the future, okay?" Naoki pinched his son's little face.

Yuuki: “Woooaaaaa!”

"Your son's starting Pokémon, Tayobagos, will only be worse than Xiaoshu." Qishu stated a fact.

Naoki: "...There's nothing we can do about it. There were no Pokémon suitable for Yuki at the ranch at the time. There were only the eggs of LeBagos. But then again, where is LeBagos?"

Naoki looked around but didn't see Tailebagos.

"I was just taken away to play with other Tailebagos." Qishu replied.

"I see..." Naoki nodded. This was a good thing. Those Tailabagos were ancient Pokémon that had survived millions of years ago.

Compared with them, Youshu's Tailebagos is not even on the same level.

Now that they can play together, Little Tailebagos might be able to learn some racial skills from other Tailebagos. Then the only thing left is the training of the two Pokémon around Xiaoshu.

Fortunately, Dratini has the power of dragon riding. With his and Dragonite's guidance, it is not difficult to cultivate the small tree.

The cultivation of burning insects is much more difficult.

As a Pokémon in the Unova region that is as powerful as a quasi-god level Pokémon, the growth rate of Incinerator is the same as those quasi-god level Pokémon, which is extremely slow.

Before evolving, Infernape's combat power was limited, and its overall strength was not much different from that of Pokémon of the same race stats.

Only after evolving into a Vulcan Moth can its strength undergo a drastic change.

Naoki had never come into contact with incendiary bugs and vulcan moths before.

If you calculate carefully, it has been five or six years since the burning worms on the little tree hatched from eggs, but there is still no sign of evolution.

How about... helping Xiaoshu find a teacher? To teach her the techniques and tips for raising the Vulcan Moth?
And Naoki just happened to have a suitable candidate in his mind.

The former champion of the Unova region, Adek!
Naoki immediately took out his Rotom phone and sent a request to Adek.

After hearing Naoki's request, Adek, who had retired from the United Alliance and was living a leisurely retirement life at home, readily agreed.

In mid-March of the 208th year of the Alliance Calendar, they set out from the United States and headed for Padia.

On the weekend, the kindergarten was closed. Early in the morning, Xiaoshu ran to Naoki with Tailebagos in his arms, excited and expectant, and asked impatiently:
"Dad, Mom said you found me a great teacher to teach me how to breed burning bugs. Who is he?"

Naoki took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Guess."

"Could it be someone I know?" Xiaoshu's eyes lit up: "Could it be Uncle Xiaozhi?"

"No." Naoki shook his head.

"Is that Uncle Dan Di?" Xiao Shu guessed again.

"That's not right." Naoki smiled and shook his head. In the past two years, the Galar region has also undergone drastic changes.

Xiaoyou took over the position of Dandi champion, and Dandi has been building battle towers and vigorously developing his hometown.

"Who could that be...?" Xiaoshu was very distressed. She thought about it but couldn't come up with an answer, so she simply threw herself into her father's arms and said coquettishly, "Dad! Just tell me!"

Naoki was very pleased: "Alright, alright, go down quickly. That teacher, you and he have a special connection! Your burning bug was given to you by him. It is the offspring of a champion-level Vulcan Moth."

Hearing this, an answer instantly emerged in Xiaoshu's mind.

"It's Uncle Adek!" she cried.

"That's right!" Naoki nodded with a smile.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Adek finally arrived at the ranch.

Naoki greeted him with Xiaoshu and a group of Pokémon.

From a distance, they could hear Adek's signature laugh.

He greeted the little tree: "Haha, long time no see, little tree!"

"Uncle Adek!" Xiaoshu shouted excitedly. She still remembered that when she was a child, Uncle Adek came to the ranch and brought Feiyun ice cream to her and Burning Bug.

Xiaoshu ran towards Adek.

Adek bent down and gestured at the height of the little tree with his hands, and then said: "Ah, I haven't seen you for two years, little tree, you have grown a lot taller!"

"Xiaoshu has always been eating well!" Xiaoshu said proudly, "Mom said that only by eating well can we grow up healthily!

"Haha not bad!"

Having said that, Adek turned his gaze to the burning bug beside him.

After not seeing it for a few years, the burning bug has grown a lot.

Judging from the fur on its body and the look in its eyes, this burning insect is very healthy and strong.

The Burning Bug is now like a piece of unpolished jade. It only needs to be well “polished” before it can become a dazzling legend.

"Vulcan Moth, come out!"

Adek took out his Poké Ball.

With a flash of white light, a Vulcan Moth as dazzling as the sun appeared in the air. The scorching breath swept from its body to the surroundings, making it look like a sun god.

The Vulcan Moth that came out of the Poké Ball noticed the Burning Bug in front of it at once. The blood flowing in its body kept telling it that this Burning Bug was the baby it had given to Naoki's family to take care of.

And now, the burning bug baby has grown up healthily.

A maternal light shone in the Fire Moth's eyes, and it felt both relieved and happy.

When Xiaoshu saw Vulcano, he was instantly attracted by this Pokémon with an extraordinary aura.

"Wow! So awesome!"

Adek smiled and patted Xiaoshu's head. He looked at the Flame Moth and asked, "What's wrong? Flame Moth is a very cool Pokémon, right?"

Xiao Shu nodded repeatedly: "Yeah!"

"Of course they are! In the past they were called the incarnation of the sun and the god of fire. But don't be envious. Your burning worm will surely grow into a real sun in the future!" Adek's eyes were full of anticipation.

With the magical dishes made by Naoki, plus his knowledge and experience in breeding Pokémon like Vulcano, it can minimize the detours that Xiaoshu's Incendiary Bug takes, allowing its strength to surpass Vulcano and reach a whole new level!

Adek was full of confidence.

It was not only to thank Naoki, but also because Naoki was a very cute child. He saw in her an extremely strong love for Pokémon and passion for Pokémon battles.

Such a person is a natural Pokémon trainer!
And their future will eventually become an excellent Pokémon trainer!
After greeting Xiaoshu, Adek looked at Naoki and nodded to him.

The two smiled at each other. After all, they had known each other for so many years, so there was no need to say anything more.

"Let's have a cup of tea first!" Naoki invited. The Unova region is very far away from the Padia region, and Adek must be very tired from the journey.

"Sorry to bother you then!" said Adek.

The group returned to the living room, and the sister Ai Butler brought Adek a cup of tea and snacks.

"Is the Unova region okay?" Naoki asked.

"Alice has completely taken over the job of champion!" Adek's eyes were full of admiration. "That child is very good. I am now just like you. I drink tea and eat with Vulcan Moth every day in my hometown, and occasionally guide the traveling trainers passing by."

"Very good." Naoki was sincerely happy for Adek.

Through the story of Motorlizard and Gulton, he deeply felt the feeling of the Pokémon that had been with him for many years leaving.

No wonder Adek's Vulcan Moth died in the game and he became like that.

But fortunately, that didn't happen.

At this moment, a little head suddenly popped out from behind the sofa.

Then, Naoki and Adek saw Xiaoshu's eyes bright and full of expectation as he asked:

"Dad, Uncle Adek, when does the class start?"
