Chapter 68 Tutorial Class Begins

Qizhou City, Qizhou Elf Breeding Bureau.

Nie Ping stared blankly at Qin Zhen for a while, then turned his head and stared blankly at the ball-shaped sea lion that was being beaten on the beach by its own tribe.

"Are the sea lions... dirty?"

The old man's head seemed to explode with thunder. The simple Chinese character "污" brought to mind countless terrifying associations: corruption, abuse of power, extortion, insider trading...

At this moment, there was even such a picture flashing in the old man's mind: in the dark room, the little ball sea lion was curled up in the quilt and crying, while the bastard standing by the bed was whistling and pulling up his pants.

That bastard has the face of the Qingcheng Pavilion Master!

"Qin Zhen!" The old king suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Qin Zhen's shoulder tightly, almost staring at him. "Ask! Please ask this sea lion! What does dirty mean? What exactly happened in Qizhou City?"

"Grandpa, just ask directly. It's not like the sea lion can't understand you." Qin Zhen didn't think too much about it. He was trying to figure out whether his superpowers had gotten stronger, or if he had just happened to stumble across a Pokémon that just happened to resonate with him. "Don't worry, I'll help you translate."

"Look behind you." The purple-eyed sea lion said in Qin Zhen's mind.

Qin Zhen turned his head and saw eyes full of joy. After discovering that the two humans who ran onto the beach did not make any hostile moves, the sea lions became happy again. They raised their heads, blew out water balloons the size of yoga balls from their noses, then jumped on them and ran around on the water balloons like acrobats.

"Ball Sea Lion, is there any problem?"

"Did you notice what their balls were made of?"

This question made Qin Zhen stunned. At this moment, a sea lion came over stepping on a water balloon. Little Qin shuddered and pulled the handle of the Milton suddenly to make way for the little sea lion.

"Playing and sleeping on your own snot, and even fighting other elves by fiddling with your own snot bubbles, isn't that dirty?" The ball sea lion said in Qin Zhen's mind.

Xiao Qin had a strange expression on his face. He was very familiar with every generation of the Starter Pokémon. After evolving into the Pokemon, they became the Sea Lion, which was known as the "most beautiful of the Starter Pokémon". Some people also called them the Divas of the Sea. A month ago in Jinguan City, Qin Zhen participated in the voting for the most popular Pokémon and once regarded the Sea Lion as a strong rival of Serpentar.

The elegant and beautiful ocean singer was actually a sloppy girl who loved playing with snot when she was little. The contrast is really...

"Ball Sea Lion, there's no need to say that, right? After all, your kind have always done this, and I remember your name, Ball Sea Lion, comes from the water balloon..."

"They all do it, so it's right? They were hitting me just now, why did you stop them?"

Qin Zhen was speechless and couldn't help but feel that this sea lion had a philosophical temperament.

He relayed his conversation with the sea lion to Nie Ping, leaving the old man stunned.

"So... when the sea lion said dirty, he meant it literally?"

"What else?" Qin Zhen asked in confusion.

Old Master Nie scratched his face in embarrassment, not wanting to tell the young man about his dark fantasies.

—It's all this kid's fault for talking about Chen Shimei yesterday, causing me, an old man, to start imagining all sorts of random things... No, no, no, Qin Zhen should be innocent too. What bad thoughts could a little war-crazed guy with a head full of wars have? The real culprit must be someone else!

"Director Nie! What happened?"

A large group of people in sterile suits rushed into the artificial beach, led by the director of the Qizhou Breeding Bureau, who had met Qin Zhen once.

"It's all right now." The old man waved his hand. "The sea lions suddenly started fighting just now, so we went downstairs to separate them." "Fighting?" The director looked over and said, "Oh!" "So it was this one, no surprise then."

"How to say?"

"Look at its eyes and body color," the director said. "It's a very rare glittering sea lion."

Qin Zhen and Lao Tianwang turned around at the same time, and found that in addition to having a pair of unique purple eyes, this little guy's body color was also much darker than its peers. At this time, it just crawled up from the beach, gently shook off the sand on its body, revealing a cherry pink collar that was different from other sea lions.

"So the cause of this incident is that the Shiny Elf was isolated and bullied by the group because of its body color?" Nie Ping questioned: "Why not separate it from the other sea lions?"

"We considered moving her to a separate tank, like we do with the other Shining Sprites," the director said with a wry smile. "But this sea lion is very smart and strong-willed. If our keepers even hinted at wanting to take her away, she would start singing."

"Sing?"

"Yes, that singing trick that puts the audience to sleep. It's a trick only used by the floundering sea lions. I don't know where it learned it from." The director said, "Last time, we dispatched a full twenty keepers, all equipped with earplugs and noise-canceling headphones, but in the end, they couldn't hold on. Twenty of them lay asleep on the beach for most of the day. The breeding department was in chaos, and almost all operations were shut down for the day."

"I did nothing wrong, why should I run away?" The voice of the sea lion sounded in Qin Zhen's mind at the right time.

"In the end, we can only respect its choice and let it live on this beach." The director said, "You know, we've been extremely busy lately. The entire alliance is waiting for our data. If we're late, the children will be much later than they were when they meet the Big Three next year."

"But if we leave this little guy on the beach, his companions will probably attack him, right?" Old Heavenly King glanced at the sea lion cubs that Qin Zhen had frightened. They were very methodical in their attack on the ball sea lion, and it was obviously not their first time. "What if he gets any hidden injuries..."

"We've set up surveillance cameras all around the beach. We'll be there as soon as anything happens." The director rubbed his hands. "As for hidden injuries, don't worry. The little guy's father is a Milotic, and he inherited the Life Drop move from his father, which allows him to heal himself. We've also considered that if he doesn't find a trainer he likes during the exchange week and is sent back, we'll contact a local hospital in Qizhou and send him to work as a nurse."

…………

Qin Zhen followed Nie Ping to a corner of the beach, looking back every few steps.

"Let your elf out." said the old king.

Qin Zhen nodded and patted the vine snake on her shoulder. The little snake jumped down and stood firmly on the beach. At the same time, a red light flashed beside her. The Growlithe landed lightly and turned to whimper at Qin Zhen twice.

"Qin Zhen, your Motorcycle Lizard won't participate in training?"

Under the gaze of the old king, Qin Zhen shrugged his shoulders and suddenly took a step to the left. Milton behind him also took a step to the side and continued to hide his head and half of his body behind Qin Zhen, following him like a shadow.

Once Qin Zhen is not on his back, Milton will become that useless little coward again.

"I understand." Nie Ping nodded and took out two pure white Poké Balls from his arms.

The red light bloomed and turned into a huge shadow when it landed. The tutor with orange-red wings and the tutor with blue-green back and big flowers appeared on the beach.

Qin Zhen's eyes suddenly widened and his attention was instantly focused.

"It's Charizard! And Venusaur!"

It’s true that his favorite of the three starter Pokémons is Serpenti, but the two in front of him are his true love!

Compared to the excited Qin Zhen, Serpenti and Growlithe didn't feel so good. The figures of Flying Dragon and Giant Frog blocked the sunlight, and the shadows completely enveloped the two little ones. The pressure coming in their faces forced them to look up, and they could clearly see the malicious light in the eyes of the two giant beasts.
