Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

The echo of the last shout lingered on the shore, leaving only Long Yue and Haklong stunned.

She twitched her lips, then turned to look at Eevee and Ralts beside her, "The bond between you two and your trainers is truly special."

"Buyi."

Ibrahimovic covered his face in disgust, indicating that he didn't want to know these two idiots.

…………

In the antique-style reception room, Xia Chen stared blankly at the clothes he was wearing.

The material of the clothes is very good, the lining is very comfortable, and the abstract cloud pattern embroidered on the surface is also very cool.

Overall, the training uniform at Qianlong Martial Arts Academy deserves a five-star rating.

But why would he wear it himself?

This question didn't require much thought. Xia Chen looked expressionlessly at Milotic, who was cowering dejectedly in the corner of the room.

This wonderful turn of events was all thanks to him.

"Fuwoo."

Milotic lowered its head and obediently admitted its mistake, saying it was just too excited.

The heating in the room was on full blast, and Xia Chen, who had been "winter swimming" for more than ten minutes, had gradually recovered.

He sat cross-legged on the warm floor, opposite the coffee table, where Long Yue was making tea for the guests.

However, enjoying a free tea ceremony performance by beautiful girls can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Xia Chen watched Long Yue's elegant and fluid tea-making movements and thought to himself.

Before long, several cups of clear and bright tea were placed in front of Xia Chen.

Long Yue smiled and said, "It's still quite cold in the capital right now. Have some hot tea, or you'll catch a cold."

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Xia Chen clasped his hands together in gratitude, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Excellent tea!" Xia Chen exclaimed softly.

To be honest, Xia Chen doesn't know much about tea. He can only taste the flavor, but he doesn't know exactly how good it is. He just thinks it's good.

He pushed the remaining two cups in front of Eevee and Ralts, saying, "Eevee, Ralts, you should try some too."

"Buy~"

"Lalu~"

The two elves responded and began to sip their tea in their own way.

…………

Ibu seemed to be very experienced in everything she did. She skillfully picked up the teacup, first admiring the color of the tea for a while, then gently sniffing the aroma, before sticking out her pink little tongue to lick the tea.

Xia Chen glanced at Long Yue opposite him and noticed that she was looking at Yi Bu with surprise and admiration. He slowly nodded.

Although she didn't say anything, Xia Chen knew that she must be thinking, "She knows tea!"

Ralts then cleverly used her Nen powers, controlling the clear tea to flow into her mouth in a precise arc.

It's less about tasting tea and more about exercising your mind while drinking water.

Long Yue turned her head and glanced at her strange way of drinking tea, twitched her lips, and didn't say anything more.

Milotic, huddled in the corner of the room, let out another howl.

Xia Chen is indeed angry; he won't play with me anymore.

Hearing the voice, Xia Chen rolled his eyes. "Don't you even look at your own size? Is this pot of tea enough for you to even have a sip?"

The dragon coiled up beside Long Yue felt sorry for Milotic and spread its wings to fly over and comfort him.

Long Yue was even more surprised to see this scene than when she had just seen Ibu drinking tea.

Turning to Xia Chen, he asked, "Did your Milotic's parents have Dragon-type Pokémon?"

"I don't think so?"

Xia Chen felt that if such a thing had happened, Ugly Fish wouldn't have been so destitute during its time at Yunze Lake.

He asked, puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Long Yue said in a low voice, "My Hakkarosaurus is a bit... racist."

Xia Chen: "?"

Long Yue explained, "That's right. When she's with unfamiliar Pokémon, she's only this affectionate when she's facing Dragon-type Pokémon. She's even quite indifferent to Charizard or Gyarados."

Xia Chen: "."

What kind of dragon supremacist is this?

"Perhaps it's because Milotic is similar in size to her?" Xia Chen guessed.

Long Yue shook her head. "No, my Hakulong is naturally sensitive to dragon-type energy. The purer the dragon-type energy, the closer she is to it and the more she likes it. Because of this, she will become even closer to that Pokémon. That's why she is closest to my dad's Goodra."

“But your Milotic.” Xia Chen turned his head to look in the direction Long Yue was looking.

In the corner of the room, the pink and tender Hakuryu had transformed into a "lovestruck woman," her dazed eyes lingering on the bewildered Milotic.

"Fuwoo."

Milos looked at Xia Chen for help, her eyes revealing a look of utter despair that said, "I'm already tainted."

She clung to me; she's despicable!

…………

"Actually, Pokémon mature very quickly. I'm a very open-minded trainer. As long as there's love, it's okay if they immediately lay eggs."

"Fuwoo!"

Long Yue's earnest explanation was interrupted by Milos.

I'm still a child. You want me to be your father?

Besides, where did you see that we're in love?

Do you even have any humanity left?!

Long Yue didn't understand Elvish, but from Milotic's angry tone, she understood what he meant.

She gave an awkward laugh, then quietly leaned closer to Xia Chen and whispered, "Could you try to persuade your Milotic? If he agrees to have a baby dragon with my Hakron, I can give you two million!"

Xia Chen frowned. "I don't know why you have this idea, but Milotic, although my Pokémon, is an independent entity."

He replied with an air of righteous indignation, "I'm sorry, but my upbringing doesn't allow me to do such a thing."

Long Yue said quietly, "Three million, plus the dragon-type technique manuals that the Qianlong Dojo has truly inherited for a thousand years. They're not just the superficial stuff that's casually given to outer disciples."

I'm so impressed, you're still keeping secrets from me?

I'm going to report you to the Industry and Commerce Bureau!

On the other hand, this condition was not tempting for Xia Chen.

He replied calmly, "I have no intention of raising Dragon-type Pokémon, and Dragon-type moves are useless against Milotic, so what's the point of having them?"

Milotic won't gain an additional Dragon type, so learning Dragon-type moves won't do it any good.

Let's fill in the gaps; Dragon-type only counters Dragon-type.

However, Milotic's move pool includes Ice Beam, a move with a very wide range of attacks, specifically for Dragon-type moves.

Compared to that, Dragon Pulse is not only less powerful than Ice Beam, but also has no additional effects other than tracking and guaranteed hit like High Speed ​​Star. It's not even a useless move.

……

Long Yue shook her head mysteriously, "No, the Dragon-type moves your Milotic uses will be much more powerful than the same moves used by other Dragon-type Pokémon of the same strength!"

Xia Chen stroked his chin. "Is it because of the pure dragon energy you just mentioned?"

Long Yue nodded excitedly, "Actually, the so-called STAB (Single-Type) power boost of Pokémon is based on the principle of energy purity. According to the data provided by the Trainers Association, the average power boost of a Pokémon's STAB move is about 1.4 to 1.5 times."

"But if your Milotic uses Dragon-type moves after fully mastering the techniques taught by our gym, I guarantee it will have at least this many stats!"

Long Yue made a peace sign with her left hand.

double?!

So exaggerated?

Xia Chen was shocked. Doesn't this mean that, apart from the attributes of immunity and halving, it's equivalent to being able to counter any Pokémon?

This is definitely worth a try!

Keep in mind that even with STAB (Same-type bonus) and type advantage, the damage is only three times.

While Dragon-type Pokémon don't have many weaknesses, they also have very few blind spots, making them quite a good deal.

Looking at Xia Chen, who seemed interested, Long Yue leisurely sipped her tea. "So, how about it? Want to consider it?"

Xia Chen turned to look at Milotic, who was tug-of-war with Hakron in the corner, and sighed inwardly.

Milotic, it's not that I don't want to protect your innocence, but...

She gave so much!

Chapter 106 Milotic, you need healing!

Although Xia Chen was indeed very tempted by the dragon-type secret manual that Long Yue had mentioned, he was not a demon after all, and naturally he would not do anything that would force a dragon to do something against its will.

After Long Yue left with the infatuated Hakron, Xia Chen also took back Eevee and Ralts, preparing to have a proper conversation with Milotic.

The first thing to do is to soothe Milotic's emotions, "Alright, Hakron is gone, you're safe now."

Milos certainly knew this, but Xia Chen's words of comfort still pleased him greatly.

"Fuwoo."

Once Milotic had calmed down, Xia Chen suddenly asked, "Milotic, are you very afraid of Hakkarosaurus?"

Fear? Why would I be afraid?
