Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

It looked like a nightmare, but no nightmare had a row of spikes on its head. Moreover, it looked twice as big as an ordinary nightmare! !

Even in textbooks, he had never seen such a record of Pokémon!

Joey's judgment was actually quite accurate, because the official size of an ordinary nightmare is 0.7m, and the 1.4-meter size of the Flutterwing is indeed as big as two nightmares.

After seeing the boss greet it, the magical Pokémon followed the boss and left. With the intuition of a trainer, even with just a fleeting glimpse, Joey kept saying in his mind: That Pokémon is definitely extraordinary!

Although I had a lot of questions in my mind, I was hungry and tired after the journey, so I saw that the boss thoughtfully placed bread, bottled water and a plate of food that looked like rice on the table.

Joey first tasted the bread he was familiar with, two slices, and the feeling of hunger was indeed much less.

After filling his stomach, Joey turned his eyes to the plate of food he had never seen before.

It was a dish of egg fried rice. Jiang Cheng had originally cooked a large portion, but unexpectedly Zhen Yifa and Jiang Cheng shared half of the strawberry cake. Jiang Cheng bought that cake to celebrate and reward Zhen Yifa for his first victory. It was a medium-sized cake with a considerable portion. Even half of it was enough to fill him up. He struggled to finish what was on the plate as there was really no more left in the pot. Jiang Cheng had originally planned to save it for tomorrow morning, but now someone had come to clean up.

Tentatively putting the egg fried rice into his mouth, the unique salty and fragrant smell made Joey's eyes light up. Maybe he was really hungry, Joey quickly picked up the plate and started to show off.

Xiao Du'er next to him was also eating small pieces of fruit. Seeing that it was a small bird, Jiang Cheng cut it into small pieces. These were the leftovers from entertaining the wealthy Zhu Guangling. It ate three of the six fruits in a plate. Jiang Cheng took out two of the remaining fruits, made a fruit cut for Xiao Du'er to eat.

Looking at Xiao Duer who was eating happily, Joey once again expressed a familiar feeling - the boss is such a good person...

After a tiring day, Joey took a quick shower after eating and went to bed. The next morning, he was awakened by Xiao Duer's cry.

Opening his eyes and looking at the sunlight outside the window, Joey regained consciousness at this moment. Oh... I am now in a hot spring spa in the quiet city of Malie.

“Duer!!”

"Good morning, Xiao Duer, did you sleep well?"

When Joey came outside with little Duer on his shoulders, he saw the kind boss, with the Pokémon he saw last night, busying himself with something by the pond.

"Good day, boss!"

"Oh! Hello, my name is Jiang Cheng. Did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Cheng nodded friendly.

Joey poked his head and looked towards the pond: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, what are you doing?"

"Feeding my Pokémon breakfast," Jiang Cheng replied as he threw a piece of Pokémon feed over the pond.

Then, a scarlet carp leaped out of the pond, caught the feed in mid-air, and then broke through the water with a thud and returned to the pond.

"Great, Magikarp, you're getting more and more accurate in catching," Jiang Cheng encouraged loudly, and the Magikarp spit out a string of bubbles in the water in response.

With nothing to do, Jiang Cheng started chatting casually with Joey. He got to know him in a hurry yesterday and only knew that the kid had an accident in the wild. Jiang Cheng thought he was a stupid trainer who traveled everywhere. But through chatting, he learned that Joey was a student at the trainer school and came out this time just to participate in an outdoor project.

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Is your teacher Dr. Kukui?"

"Yes and no. Dr. Kukui only comes to teach occasionally. He has a lot of things to do during normal times. He only comes back to teach after class."

"Oh..." Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that it seemed that this world was more like the animation version.

In the game version, Dr. Kukui is the founder of the League, a researcher who studies Z moves, and a wrestling mask. He is very busy. In the animation, he has another job - a teacher at the Trainer School.

Kukui would often use his connections to take students out for extracurricular instruction, allowing them to experience various industries and different environments for education. To be honest, Jiang Cheng was very jealous at the time, wondering why he had never met such a teacher?

How nice it would be if I were Jingye.jpg

Scratching his head, Joey felt that chatting with this boss who looked not much older than himself, he always had a very strange feeling, as if... as if... yes, as if he was his teacher!

It’s really strange. Obviously, we are about the same age.

Joey looked at Flutter Hair, hesitated for several times, and finally spoke: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, what is this Pokémon...? ”

Jiang Cheng said calmly: "Oh, her name is Zhen Yifa, I met her outside, she is a very important partner of mine."

"Flutter Wings..." Joey lowered his head to think about it, still feeling that the name was very unfamiliar: "Is it included in the illustrated manual?"

"Probably not yet? I checked when I captured her, but didn't find it, haha." Jiang Cheng's words made it clear: this Pokémon is already mine, don't get involved!

"Hasn't been included in the Pokédex yet? That means she's a Pokémon that hasn't been discovered yet!!! Oh my god, this is so cool!!"

Joey's reaction was very much in keeping with the mental state of a ten-year-old boy.

Soon his excitement turned into envy: "Mr. Jiang Cheng, you must be a very good trainer to be able to capture such a new Pokémon?"

"Uh..." Jiang Cheng was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly answered: "No, I was just an ordinary Donghuang before I came here, and now I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner. Look at my skinny arms and legs, how can I have the powerful strength of you trainers?"

Huh? Still pretending?

You've been exposed a long time ago! Manager Jiang!

As a trainer, after being frightened, Joey would think about what happened last night when he woke up. He was a little curious. How could he be frightened when he was so brave and courageous? There must be something wrong with this place.

So after waking up, he took a quick walk around the first floor of the hot spring hotel.

Until he saw Gastly sleeping soundly on top of the urn in the healing room.

He didn't have time to observe it last night, but now he was surprised to find that this Gastly's ghost energy was so abundant! !

Even if it's just sleeping there and doing nothing, the ghost energy will fill the whole house!

You have such a powerful Gastly, Boss Jiang, and you still say you are not a trainer!

Chapter 33: Joey challenges!

If Jiang Cheng could hear the mechanistic reasoning of this young man Joey, he would probably cry out for justice on the spot.

You are just a first-year student, and your vision is too poor. Is that ghost energy from Gastly? It belongs to that house!

No, that makes it sound like my hot spring house is a haunted house. How can I open the door to receive customers then?

Even so, Joey still has something to say. Even if your Gastly does not have so much energy, then that Pokémon that looks very ferocious at first glance is the biggest proof.

As we all know, if you want to capture a Pokémon, you must either get its recognition or defeat it head-on and make it recognize your strength.

Considering that Pokémon looks like someone who is not easy to mess with, it would be extremely difficult to gain its approval. The only way is to defeat it head-on. Otherwise, how could it possibly enter the Poké Ball obediently?

Looking at the other person's expression, Jiang Cheng knew that the other person definitely didn't believe it. Although he didn't know why this guy was sure that he was a trainer, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to refute it.

So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I'm not going to go out and fight in a gym, so what does it have to do with me? Just don't delay my business.

Jiang Cheng, who slept soundly last night, planned to weed the weeds around the pond today. These miscellaneous weeds grew very wildly and were quite unsightly.

Today is a good day to get rid of all the weeds and plant some green plants in the yard to add some embellishment.

Although Jiang Cheng planned to turn the front yard into a water feature, he still wanted to create some gentle slopes on land for the Pokémon to bask in the sun, and plant some small flowers in some unimportant places to make the yard look less monotonous.

Although there is a system that allows for fool-proof operation, it is not so convenient now that there is someone living at home. It is actually quite good to do some work occasionally.

Looking at Jiang Cheng who was busy with his work, Joey was also a little emotional. Even such a powerful trainer was living a very serious life...

I have to work hard too!

I’ve decided that I’m going to exercise well before anyone comes to pick me up from school!

"Senior Jiang, can we train in your yard?" Joey is a polite child. He knows that if he wants to train in someone else's place, he must ask the owner's permission.

"No problem, just be careful not to attack the buildings. It would be even better if you could use your skills to help me get rid of the weeds." Jiang Cheng waved his hand. A little Duer really had no destructive ability, so there was no need to worry.

What can Xiao Duer do? Xiao Duer can't do anything. The skills he uses are either pecking or pecking. The remaining skills are just barking, and the destructive power is really worrying. There happened to be a dead tree in the yard, so let them use it for training. Anyway, they have to clean it up later.

To be honest, Jiang Cheng thinks the design of Sun and Moon's home bird is a bit lazy. From the small woodpecker to the trumpet-billed woodpecker and the red-billed woodpecker, in the third stage, the style suddenly changed and it became a toucan, oh no, a gun-billed giant bird.

Overall, it's very un-Pokémon-like and a bit too realistic.

Jiang Cheng's evaluation is that he is not as good as Steelix.

"Xiao Duer! Let's start today's training! First! Warm up! Fly ten laps first!!" Joey said passionately, and started running around the yard.

"Duer!" Little Duer shouted happily, immediately caught up with his trainer and began to fly around the hot spring center.

"Putting aside the issue of whether they are smart or not, young people are really full of energy..." Jiang Cheng held a handful of weeds in his hand and looked at the excited Joey with some emotion. People were running and birds were flying, and it was unclear whether they were training people or birds.

Ton!

The Magikarp in the pond jumped up again, splashing water.

"What, you are infected too? Okay, let's exercise together." Jiang Cheng looked at Magikarp with a smile and continued his weeding work.

After running ten laps in a row, Joey's forehead was already slightly sweaty. After sitting on the porch to rest for a while, he immediately became active again: "Okay, Xiao Duer, let's practice some moves next!"

It must be said that although the Trainer School does not play a big role in the game, as the first school in Alola, the teaching quality is still quite good. Joey's training content is quite organized. What to train first, what to train next, and then replenish energy and give a massage to the exhausted Pokémon. The planning is very reasonable.

Jiang Chengdu, who was weeding on the side, was somewhat attracted and watched the other party's training process with curiosity.

Maybe he felt that it was boring to just watch it, so he went to the kitchen to get some food and ate while watching.

For him, the process of young trainers training their own Pokémon is a scene that has been basically not seen in games or animations before. Whether in games or animations, the way to improve Pokémon is to tap and tap, and tap and tap by yourself!

The first film does show how to train pangolins, but that is more like cosplaying as a southern American farmer than training. Although this kind of training shot is boring, it is also a proof of the reality of the world.

"Send it!"

"Hmm? You want to eat it too? Come, try it, this berry bread is pretty delicious!"

Jiang Cheng handed the tree fruit bread in his mouth to Zhen Yifa. Zhen Yifa looked down at the teeth marks left by Jiang Cheng, selected a complete block, and took a bite.

"Send it!"

“It’s delicious!”

“Send it!!”

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll get one for you too!"

Urged by Zhen Yifa, Jiang Cheng had to go back to the kitchen and get another loaf of bread. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Gastly at the door, staring at the bread in his hand.

"ghost--"

"Okay, you just eat and sleep all day, nothing else, what's the old Beijing Gastly, I'll give you one too!"

In desperation, I could only give one to Gastly as well. Finally, I shouldn't be partial and give some to Magikarp as well. Although it had already eaten a meal in the morning, one more piece of bread wouldn't hurt.

Just like that, the originally professional training turned into Joey training with Xiao Duer, while Jiang Cheng and the two kids ate and watched on the side, occasionally throwing a piece to Magikarp for an OK connection and alley-oop.

what can i say?

Joey, who had finally completed his training, saw this scene after giving little Duer a massage.

(*⊙~⊙)(*⊙~⊙)(?????)

Joey scratched the back of his head...Why did he always feel like he was being mistaken for a fire monkey?

But soon, he noticed Gastly watching the show, and his mind suddenly started.

Yes, why don't I ask Senior Jiang for advice? Being able to cultivate such a powerful Gastly, he must be very capable in fighting, right? If I can play a game with him, I'm sure I will gain a lot! !

"Senior Jiang! Please play a game with me!!"

Chapter 34: Child, don't blame me for being mean

Jiang Cheng: "........."

Facing Joey's sudden challenge, Jiang Cheng said that he was really careless. Looking at the other party's professional training process, he thought that the other party was an academic trainer. Unexpectedly, after all, he turned out to be a practical trainer!

But it is indeed very scientific and reasonable. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. If you don't know where Pokémon's shortcomings are, you will know after a game with Tata. If there are obstacles to Pokémon's growth, you will know after a game with Tata. If the moves you designed are effective, won't you know after a game with Tata?

Well, in the natural state of wild Pokémon, it is basically difficult for them to have actual combat opportunities. But in the hands of trainers, all kinds of Pokémon, such as the original type, restraint, reverse restraint, ground flying and water type, fairies, ghosts, psychics, and evil can be defeated at once. With this kind of training method, the worst that can be achieved is a veteran. How can the strength not be improved?

Jiang Cheng subconsciously glanced at Zhen Yifa and tactfully advised: "Well...are you sure you want to fight me? The effect of our fight may not be too good..."

Jiang Cheng is indeed not a serious trainer and does not have any command skills, but his stats are high. He just lets the Winged General go, and his whole body is full of stats. There is a little Duer on the opposite side, who is killed by a single magic flash. What can he do in the battle?

"Yes, I want to fight your Gastly!" Joey said with a firm look in his eyes.

He had a good idea. The Pokémon named Flutterfax looked difficult to deal with at first glance. Moreover, the movesets and abilities of an unfamiliar Pokémon were all unknown, so fighting would be ineffective. On the contrary, Gastly, as a veteran ghost Pokémon, was also specially taught in the Trainer School. He could give commands to solve the problem, and it could also be seen what kind of strength this fixed Pokémon could show under the training of Senior Jiang.
