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

"My mother also passed away, she passed away with my father. In fact, this hot spring center is the legacy they left to me."

"what......."

Kukui was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at Jiang Cheng, who looked calm, and then turned to look at Joey, who was looking at him with a blaming look. Kukui wanted to slap himself on the spot: I deserve to die! !

The atmosphere suddenly fell into awkwardness. Kukui looked around and suddenly saw Flutterhair next to him. Although he had been researching Flutterhair for many years, the moment he saw Flutterhair, Dr. Kukui realized sharply that this Pokémon had definitely not been included in the League's Pokémon Dictionary!

Brand new Pokémon!

It represents brand new moves, brand new ways of fighting, brand new ways of coping, and brand new Z-power!

Although Dr. Kukui has the title of a doctor, he is actually an absolute battle fanatic, because the direction of his research is Z moves, and if he wants to study Z moves, he has to obtain data through battles! !

He really wanted to have a battle with this magical Pokémon right now!

"Um, is that your Pokémon?" Dr. Kukui also knew what the situation was. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked curiously.

"Yes, her name is Flutterhair, she is a Pokémon I met by chance on the road, and she came to Alola with me. Now she is my family."

"It looks a lot like a dream demon. Is it a special evolution of a dream demon?"

"No, Flutter Hair is Flutter Hair. She seems to have some connection with the Dream Demon, but she is not the evolved form of the Dream Demon. There is still a big difference between them."

Jiang Cheng actually didn’t understand what the paradoxical Pokémon meant, but that didn’t stop him from eliminating the wrong answers.

"Oh...it's so magical...Pokémon..."

After sighing softly, Dr. Kukui invited Jiang Cheng: "Do you want to enter the Pokémon Flutter into the Pokémon Dash? If successful, the Alliance will give you corresponding training rewards!"

Are there any rewards?

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up: "Of course!"

It doesn’t matter whether there is a reward or not, the main thing is to give Zhenyi an identity!

Chapter 37: Dihua Kukui

Entering the Pokédex is actually a very simple thing. Unlike the game, all the information of Pokémon will be written in it. The Pokédex is more about entering the appearance information of Pokémon and some related descriptions to solve the problem of "from 0 to 1".

After that, various subsequent research on the new elves will come one after another.

As the first person to discover the flapping-wing hair, Jiang Cheng's name will definitely be written in the illustrated book. Jiang Cheng never thought about his dream in his previous life, to become famous all over the world and have his name written in textbooks, but in this life, this dream was dramatically fulfilled.

This time the choice > effort.

After all, Dr. Kukui is not a doctor who specializes in Pokémon studies. He pays more attention to the battle than the Pokémons. He quickly shifted the topic to the battle just now. As a dedicated trainer school teacher, this battle between Jiang Cheng and his students is a very good educational demonstration opportunity.

"It was such an exciting fight. It made me excited. Joey, what should we do after the fight?"

Dr. Kukui touched Joey's head, gently encouraging the frustrated student.

Losing the battle, especially the one caused by his own fault, even though he was mentally prepared for failure, Joey was still a little depressed when such a result came.

"Thank you for your guidance." Joey bowed deeply to Jiang Cheng. Both Kukui and Joey himself knew very well the situation of this battle. It was completely Jiang Cheng, the senior trainer, who was giving instructions. This battle exposed all the problems in Joey's battle vividly, and the quality was higher than that of his usual dozen battles.

His voice was a little muffled, as if his nose was blocked: "I'm sorry, Senior Jiang, I couldn't let you use your full strength."

Jiang Cheng almost couldn't hold it in. What are you talking about? Is this what makes you sad? This is Pokémon, don't talk about jokes from another world!

He waved his hands quickly, his emotional intelligence online: "No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay, I have actually tried my best, there is no need to apologize for it."

Joey shook his head. "No, Senior Jiang, you don't need to comfort me. Through the battle with you, I can feel your thoughts. During the battle, the emotion I felt the most from you was regret."

As the protagonist in the battle, Joey's feelings were extremely clear. The senior Jiang standing in front of him had the most emotions of pity and a kind of anxiety as if he was disappointed in his friend.

He could feel the other person's anxiety. He knew he had done something wrong, but apart from the fact that he lost his composure in the last paragraph, he couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong.

This is what frustrates him the most. In the battle, he was completely led by his opponent. He knew he was wrong, but he couldn't find where he went wrong. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse without him noticing. His opponent saw the mistake in his operation, but he didn't. This was the source of his discomfort.

What I hate is my own weakness!

"Hahaha, it's a good thing that you can recognize your mistakes. Only when you know your shortcomings can you have a goal to make up for them and make better progress!" Dr. Kukui was very pleased. After laughing for a while, he said solemnly to Jiang Cheng.

"Can you please guide my student and explain your thinking in the previous battle to help him understand his own shortcomings?"

As a master of combat, Dr. Kukui could naturally see what Jiang Cheng had done and what his intentions were in the battle just now. However, he chose to let Jiang Cheng be the teacher instead of going up and talking about it himself, as if to show how powerful he was and how good his eyesight was.

He can be said to study the book "Emotional Intelligence" every night!

Seeing Dr. Kukui's request, Jiang Cheng nodded and began to explain the key points of his own poison defense tactics.

It is not a core secret in itself, it is just an ordinary set of tactics. You can use as many of these dirty... tactics as you want, which can definitely bring endless smiles to your opponents.

Besides, I'm going to be a hot spring owner in the future, and I don't want to be a trainer, so this tactic won't do any harm to me.

As Jiang Cheng explained, Dr. Kukui and Little Joey gradually understood the subtlety of Jiang Cheng's poison-guarding tactics.

This is a tactic centered around poison, with the Stand and Guardian working together to protect their own status. The poison is used to continuously weaken the opponent's status until the opponent is tortured (dirty) to the point of losing combat effectiveness. It is quite easy to use, but requires the trainer to have a high grasp of the timing and the ability to control the battle. If there is even a slight mistake, the opponent will take it away.

Dr. Kukui could also guess why Jiang Cheng chose this tactic. Given the state of this Gastly, would it not use offensive skills such as surprise attack, evil wave, and misfortune? Of course it would!

(Jiang Cheng: No, it really won’t…)

So why use such a torturous tactic? Is it to humiliate little Joey? Of course not. With the command ability shown by the opponent, humiliating Joey is completely unnecessary.

Then there is only one answer, he is for guidance! This tactic is very challenging to the opponent's mentality. Facing such a tactic, after their Pokémon falls into a negative state, the opponent will definitely fall into anxiety. The poisonous state will continue to deduct the Pokémon's physical strength. At this time, many trainers will be anxious, and when they are anxious, they will turn red, and it is easy to make stupid moves. If the enemy reads their command first in this situation, they will fall into the abyss of anxiety and self-doubt, delaying the opportunity that could have been seized, and losing the possibility of the last resistance.

And little Joey's performance in the previous battle was a complete negative example among all the classics.

Although Director Jiang is young, he has a strong heart. In order to better guide Little Joey, he deliberately chose this seemingly unfair tactic! In the end, he even gently gave Little Joey a chance, using hypnosis instead of the strange light. Otherwise, Little Duer would fall into confusion, and the duel would completely lose any suspense. In the end, what Little Joey felt was definitely not frustration, but powerlessness and despair.

(Jiang Cheng: No, I just wanted to be dirty... The strange light Gastly at the end wouldn't...)

After Dr. Kukui's explanation, little Joey suddenly understood and bowed deeply to Jiang Cheng, who looked at him with a look of "Do I have it?" and "What is he talking about?"

"Thank you for your guidance! Senior Jiang, I will definitely work harder in the future."

"Ah...ah...well...come on." Jiang Cheng forced a smile.

I'm so awesome, how come I didn't know...?

Chapter 38: Dr. Kukui's New Idea

Little Joey didn't stay long. After thanking Jiang Cheng, he hurriedly followed Sister Joey away. The poison in Xiao Duer's body had not been cured yet, so he had to go to the Elf Center to recover.

After little Joey left, Jiang Cheng and Dr. Kukui were the only ones left in the yard.

At this moment, Kukui looked at Jiang Cheng's empty wrist and asked curiously: "Jiang Cheng, don't you have Z-pure crystal?"

Pure Z Crystal is also a specialty of the Alola region. It is a very special ore that exists in special veins in the Alola region. There are many types, corresponding to 18 attributes, and some specific Pokémon.

There are many ways to obtain Z-Crystals, and the most reliable way is to go on the Island Tour. In the Island Tour, Trainers must pass the Great Test to obtain Z-Crystals from the King or Queen of the Island and use them. In addition, there are very few people who have been recognized by the Overlord Pokémon in the previous test and are given Z-Crystals by them, but this is quite rare. If you do not reach a certain threshold, even if you have a Z-Crystal, it will break after using it once.

This special ore, which is very difficult to obtain, has only one function, which is to help trainers release Z moves.

Z-Moves are special moves that are enhanced by the trainer's natural force "Z-Power" to turn Pokémon's moves into powerful special moves. The power of this move is much stronger than the moves of Pokémon so far, but it will cause a great burden on the trainer and Pokémon, so for the safety of Pokémon and trainers, it can only be used once in each battle.

Z-Crystal is different from Mega Evolution Stone. It needs to be carried by Pokémon and Trainer together. To use Z-Crystal, the Trainer only needs to embed the Z-Crystal in the Z-Band worn on the wrist and then perform the corresponding dance steps. The Trainer, Z-Crystal and Pokémon will resonate and the Pokémon can use the corresponding Z-Moves.

Jiang Cheng's hands were bare, obviously there was no Z bracelet.

"Oh, yes, I just came to Alola a while ago, and have been busy with the hot springs. It has just come to an end. Z Pure Crystal is not that urgent for me, so I am not in a hurry to get it." Jiang Cheng nodded without any hesitation.

"At this stage, the most important thing for me is to run the hot spring center left by my parents well."

My buddy is about to become a first-generation rich man, who wants to be a trainer? I have had enough of the days of living in the open air in my previous life as an academic, so I should enjoy life in this life.

Oh yes, thinking about scientific research, I haven’t even published my SCI paper yet! My SCI!!

The mask of pain is put on.

Seeing the genuine pain and regret on Jiang Cheng's face, Dr. Kukui couldn't help but feel even more guilty that he had stirred up someone else's sadness.

This feeling of guilt drove Dr. Kukui to urgently want to do something to make up for it.

Through the brief contact with Jiang Cheng, Dr. Kukui has already sketched out an image in his mind of a person who is powerful, generous, gentle, neither arrogant nor impatient, and full of potential. However, due to an accident, he was unable to become the trainer of his dreams, and chose to protect the relics from his parents. He is an excellent trainer!

What is the most lacking thing in Alola Island?

Talent!

At a time when Dr. Kukui is pushing for the establishment of the Alola Regional Alliance, if such a talent is left outside and cannot be used by us, how can we not be heartbroken and angry?

Help! We must help!

I can't let such a promising future trainer be bound by his hands and feet just to consider survival and keeping the hot spring center, and end up being lost in the crowd. I must find a way to provide all the help I can to get Jiang Cheng's career as a trainer back on track!

But how to help him? Dr. Kukui was troubled again.

From the conversation just now, he could tell that this was a very strong child. Both his parents had passed away, and he handled his parents' funeral affairs by himself. He came all the way to Alola, took over his parents' inheritance, and planned to carry it forward without relying on anyone. Such a person is proud and tough in his bones.

If you offer help directly, it will definitely be considered as alms and rejected.

I need to think of a more secure way...

And the key is how to make the other party maintain their love for the trainer, which is the most important thing.

If Jiang Cheng could hear Dr. Kukui's inner voice, he would definitely say, no, no, no, I don't have any pride or anything like that, please just give me a lot of alms!

But at this moment he did need Dr. Kukui's help with something.

"Dr. Kukui, I have something I would like to ask for your help," Jiang Cheng said sincerely.

"Oh? Please just say it. I will definitely help as long as I can!" Patting his chest, Dr. Kukui said confidently.

"It's like this, I want to replace my fluttering hair with a dark ball, so that she can stay in it more comfortably, but when I went to the Friendship Store, I didn't see any dark balls for sale, so I wanted to ask if you have any channels?"

As a doctor of a region, the founder of the alliance, and the king of connections, Kukui must have much wider channels than himself, and the probability of obtaining the dark ball from him is also the highest.

"Dark Ball..." Dr. Kukui pinched his chin. This was not a difficult task. "I'll go back and ask for you. It may take some time, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

While replying, Dr. Kukui also confirmed one thing.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng still has a desire to be a trainer in his heart!

He was still thinking about replacing better tangerine balls for Pokémon, improving his own strength, and thinking about Pokémon. His trainer heart had not disappeared! Instead, it was buried deep in his heart!

Don't worry, Jiang Cheng boy, I will definitely help you! In the name of the Royal Masked Man!

But...how can I help others as a matter of course without causing resistance...

Hey, got it!!

A light bulb popped up in Dr. Kukui's head, and he figured it out!

I can't help directly, but I can help indirectly. By helping others, I can help Jiang Cheng. One support, two satisfactions!

As for how to help, the girl wearing a white gauze dress, a sun hat and beautiful long golden hair appeared in Dr. Kukui's mind.

Liliae.

Isn't this poor little girl who came to his research institute a few days ago and is afraid of all Pokémon the perfect candidate?

He knows his own situation. In order to study Z-moves and establish an alliance, Dr. Kukui has to transform into a royal masked man and perform outside. He basically does not go home on weekdays. In addition, due to the frequent training of Z-moves, his home cannot be said to be magnificent. It is more or less full of holes.

There is still a big hole in the ceiling, which was patched up with two pieces of iron sheets.

It's okay for me to live in such an environment, but it's a bit shabby for a girl to live in. But I can't find any other place to entrust the girl.

And now, Dr. Kukui, has an idea.

Chapter 39: Heaven

Dr. Kukui's idea was simple. Didn't the little girl have no place to live? If she wanted to live in his place, she would have to sleep on the floor.

Professor Kukui also thought about finding a better place for the little girl, but Liliae had no objection to it, so she just let it go.

Now, the accommodation conditions in his shabby research center are indeed not good, but it is different with Jiang Cheng. In this large hot spring hotel, any guest room can be vacated to let the little girl live comfortably, and he can pay the rent and do his best to give Jiang Cheng some help at the trainer level.

In this way, little Lilia also has a place to live and a stable life, and I can also help little Jiang Cheng, perfect! !

This wave, this wave is like Qin Shihuang entering the ancestral hall - it’s all winning!

"Dr. Kukui, you seem very happy?" Jiang Cheng was a little curious. What happened to this doctor who suddenly had a big grin on his face like a bat?
