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

"Flutter Hair, look, this is the dark ball prepared for you! Doesn't it suit you?"

Fluttering Fa came closer, sniffed with his nose, and tilted his head: "Fa!"

It really matches my color.

"Really? The first time I saw you, I felt that you were the most suitable for this ball, so..." Jiang Cheng wanted to ask Zhen Yifa if he wanted to go in and see what it was like inside, but he immediately realized that wouldn't that mean he had conquered him? Shouldn't he be more ceremonial?

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's expression became serious, and he asked nervously: "Flutter Hair, um... I want to ask, are you... willing to be my Pokémon and accompany me?"

Zhen Yifa looked at Jiang Cheng, who had a nervous expression, then looked down at the dark ball whose color matched his own. He slowly lowered his head, stretched out his wings, and slowly touched the button of the dark ball.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Yifa's body turned into a red light and entered the dark ball. The crimson button began to glow, flashing slowly three times, and then clicked with a crisp sound.

"Flutter! GET! DAZE!" Jiang Cheng held the Poké Ball high in his hand and raised the Dark Ball with great excitement.

In Jiang Cheng's heart, Flutterfat is very unique. It is not the first Pokémon he has seen since coming to this world, but it is the first Pokémon that he has truly come into contact with, communicated with, and captured.

The initial pet has a profound meaning for everyone. If Jiang Cheng plays the game personally, the initial pet of each generation will always be in his fixed team, which represents the starting point of his journey.

From the extremely ferocious territory overlord at the beginning to the strong and cute Flutterbear now, although it has only been a few days, the high intelligence and magic of Pokémon have made him have a wonderful feeling of being a father. And the fact that Flutterbear was captured on his own initiative is also an affirmation of what he has done in these days, isn't it?

Before Jiang Cheng could be happy for a while, a white light burst out from the dark ball, turned into fluttering wings, and spread its wings in the air.

The Poké Ball is not an absolute territory. Even after being captured, Pokémon can come out from it at any time by their own will. Not all Pokémon like to stay in the ball.

"Fa ah" Zhen Yifa called softly at Jiang Cheng.

"Do you feel too stuffy inside and don't want to stay inside? It's okay, just stay outside if you want to. Your comfort is the most important thing!"

After a brief moment of happiness in order to subdue Zhenyifa, Jiang Chengcai finally remembered the important matter: "Oh, Zhenyifa, we are going diving today!"

Chapter 42: Ready to Dive!

Today is the day we had an appointment to go diving with the people from the diving club!

Jiang Cheng has been waiting for this day for a long time. During these days in Alola, he has experienced happiness but also inconveniences.

Putting aside the Internet and online payments, Alola is an archipelago with relatively scarce supplies, and shopping is actually a bit inconvenient. Due to work habits, there are no 24-hour convenience stores, and the variety of items in the supermarket is somewhat monotonous. The island is replenished with supplies by external cargo ships on a weekly basis, so the residents here have all developed the habit of buying supplies for a week or more at a time and slowly consuming them at home.

This was a bit difficult for Jiang Cheng. In the past, he would go directly to the supermarket to buy what he needed, just enough for one meal or one day. Buying too much would take up space and would easily go bad.

The inconvenience in shopping is also reflected in diving. If it is based on Jiang Cheng’s previous life, and it is just some seaweed and stones, wouldn’t it be enough to just place an order on the mobile phone and wait for delivery?

Here, you can’t buy this thing even if you have money, because there is no market, so there is no demand. Without demand, there is no need to produce. If you want it, you have to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Life is like this, not only about poetry and distant places, but more about the daily necessities of life.

"Gars, I'm going to go diving. Do you want to come with us or stay here to look after the house?"

"ghost------"

Gastly rolled over lazily on the urn, apparently intending to sleep till the end of time, as he was exhausted from the morning training.

"Okay, then you should take care of the safety at home and have a good rest." Jiang Cheng did not force it. Gastly's training was indeed hard, and he saw it. There was no need to force it to come out just to fit in with him.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

"Magic Carp, we are going diving. Do you want to come with us?" Squatting on his knees beside the pond, Jiang Cheng asked Magikarp for his opinion.

After spending so many days together, Jiang Cheng discovered that Magikarp is a creature that is not what you can judge by its appearance. It looks like a Tang syndrome, but in fact, it is indeed a bit Tang.

Just kidding, Magikarp is actually quite intelligent. It is rumored that if Magikarp wants to evolve into Gyarados, it must remain angry or understand the power of anger.

Anger is actually a high-level emotion, which is above fear. This shows that Magikarp's thinking ability is not weak.

When Jiang Cheng was conducting the mirror test on Magikarp, Magikarp showed very obvious self-awareness. It could clearly distinguish that the one in the mirror was itself, and not some other species that looked very similar to itself. It was also able to respond quickly in daily communication, which shows that Magikarp's intelligence is not low, but it may not be good at expressing itself.

So when Jiang Cheng interacts with Magikarp, he is no different from other Pokémon.

".o0O" spitting out a long string of bubbles, the Magikarp jumped high in the pond, expressing his excitement.

"It seems that you really want to go out. Indeed, this pond is a bit monotonous. Besides, when I want to decorate your house in the future, I will need you to be present in person."

Jiang Cheng looked at the excited Magikarp, chuckled, took out the Poké Ball, and put the Magikarp in it: "Be patient for a while, I will let you out when we get to the sea."

The Poké Ball shook slightly, responding to Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng arrived at the diving club, quite a few people had already gathered there, chatting with each other in groups of three or four. After seeing Jiang Cheng, some familiar people immediately greeted him.

"Oh, isn't this the young director? Why are you here? When will your hot spring center open? We are eagerly waiting for it."

During the days here, Jiang Cheng, who has an easy-going personality, gets along very well with the local residents. Many people feel sorry for Jiang Cheng's "experience", but also have some pity for him. At the same time, there are rumors that Jiang Cheng is actually a very powerful ghost trainer, and the children from those trainer schools are no match for him.

This made the residents more welcoming towards Jiang Cheng. A powerful trainer is always welcome wherever he goes.

"There is still some preliminary preparation work to be done. Aren't we here to dive and prepare to find some decorations to take back? We will be able to open soon," Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.

"I see, that's why!"

"Don't worry, we will help you. I am really looking forward to the new hot springs. Finally, I don't have to walk several blocks to another place to take a bath."

"Why do you look like an old man?"

Everyone burst into laughter, but someone also found the highlight: "By the way, Director Jiang, can you dive? This activity is quite dangerous."

"I've learned some things before, so I can do it. Besides, I still have Magikarp to guide me." Jiang Cheng patted the small waist bag on his waist, which contained Magikarp's ball and several red and white balls.

Jiang Cheng can indeed dive, he learned it from observing fishes, but he doesn't know whether the diving in his previous life is the same as the diving in the Pokémon world. After all, there are so many black technologies in the Pokémon world. In the animation, those silly guys all dive with masks on. With the physical fitness of the silly guys, if Jiang Cheng dares to learn it, his blood vessels will be 100% full of bubbles.

But now that I have traveled through time, I am also a treasured person, even though I have been malnourished and weak since childhood. Then... I can be considered a half-step treasured person!

Fortunately, we have the Magikarp submersible. Magikarp is one meter tall and has strong athletic ability. It is no problem for him to dive and surface by himself. The only thing he needs to consider is the oxygen equipment.

Diving clubs naturally have equipment. After all, it's a tourist city. If you don't have a few sets, tourists will want to come to your place to play, but you say you don't have equipment? Why don't you find a Manaphy to bless you?

Is that true?

This reflects the superiority of the black technology in the Pokémon world. Before, when Jiang Cheng dived, he had to wear a huge oxygen tank. That thing was extremely heavy to wear, and he had to pay attention to the scale bar at all times. But now, what did he see?

Oxygen mask!

Just put it on your face and you can breathe oxygen freely even underwater. It is so convenient and easy to use.

Of course, there is a little inconvenience. That is, after entering the water, if you may have drunk too much or fainted, you may vomit into the water. It is not like an oxygen tank where you can just pull the air out from your mouth. It will be very noisy inside the mask.

Jiang Cheng had a lot of fun after receiving the new equipment. Not long after, the head of the diving club came to the middle and clapped his hands, preparing to speak.

Chapter 43: Diving Partner Magikarp

Jiang Cheng saw his old acquaintance Eddie, who was wearing a diving suit today, with his belly sticking out. He looked like a fat seal, which was a bit funny.

"Aloha, everyone, thank you for gathering here again today to make your contribution to our beautiful Ula'ula Island."

"Cleaning the beach is a very hard job. We Alola people have been doing this activity for hundreds of years. To this day, everyone has done their job very well. The beautiful beach comes from the selfless dedication of each of us."

"And now, our happy Ohana has welcomed a newcomer. He came all the way from Donghuang to settle in Alola. Now he is willing to contribute his own strength to the beauty of Alola. Let us give a round of applause to our new little hot spring director: Director Jiang!"

The finger of the criminal record was pointed at Jiang Cheng in the crowd. Everyone looked at him with good will and started to applaud him. Jiang Cheng was quite surprised to receive such a scene suddenly. Are you people really so outrageous?

To be honest, I've heard before that people in the Alola region are more enthusiastic and unrestrained, but I had no idea. It was only after I really came here that I felt it. Everyone here is really E-friendly. There are only enthusiastic people, and especially enthusiastic people. They will greet you as soon as they meet you and give you a hug.

But Jiang Cheng is not an I person. Although he is an I, he was born in Tianjin, a city known for its I people being the funny ones and the E people being the supporting ones. His main characteristic is that he must never let his words drop the mark. At the same time, he has experienced academic reports, various seminars, and public live broadcasts facing netizens, so it is unlikely that he would be stage fright.

Just nod and smile at everyone around you as a greeting.

As a Donghuang person, let everyone know that you are reserved. This is also a communication skill when you are out. If others ask you, just say that people in Donghuang are more reserved. As for whether Donghuang culture is like this, I am a Donghuang person, so I would say yes.

Fortunately, Andy only planned to welcome the new Jiang Cheng and had no plans to do any further celebrations. This made Jiang Cheng somewhat relieved. Although he could handle it, it did not mean that he really enjoyed this activity. For an individual, socializing would consume a lot of social energy.

Especially such a high-intensity social interaction.

"Hey, Jiang, it seems our friends have found the diving equipment suitable for you." Andy came to Jiang Cheng and greeted him.

"Of course, my God, you don't know, it's not easy to find one as big as Xiao Jiang," a big brother next to him immediately started complaining.

Andy laughed out loud after hearing this: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha, that's right, Jiang, you are too thin. Boys should eat more, exercise more, and become stronger. Like me, choosing diving is definitely a smart choice."

As Andy spoke, he raised his arm and gestured at his non-existent biceps.

"Come on, Andy, your figure is like a competitive hairy crab. What would you do if you were like that?" An old man next to him mercilessly exposed Andy's pretentious behavior.

"Nonsense! Can't you see my graceful swimming posture underwater? My wife says I look like a sea lion!" Andy retorted loudly, which instead caused the surrounding members to burst into laughter, and the club was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"I'll think about it carefully, thank you." Jiang Cheng nodded. The original owner's body was really too thin. Long-term malnutrition made his cheeks a little sunken. With this kind of face and the fact that he had a Gastly, it was no wonder that he was mistaken for a ghost-type trainer.

Thanks to Jiang Cheng's hard work and extra meals these days, he has gained a little weight, but the effect is not immediately apparent.

The words of several members did remind Jiang Cheng that he really needed to exercise more. Diving was a good option. After all, for the sake of his small aquarium plan, he would definitely need to dive more. It was also fine to use it as a physical exercise.

After some greetings, it was finally time to go into the water. The old members released their Pokémon one after another in order, then jumped into the water and dived underwater with their Pokémon.

"Come out for some fresh air, Magikarp." Looking at the lively scene, Jiang Cheng released the Magikarp as well.

With a flash of white light, the Magikarp appeared in the sea. It turned around in the water, sank and then jumped out of the water. It was a rare opportunity to return to the sea, and the Magikarp was in a good mood.

"It's actually a Magikarp, that's rare... Most people wouldn't choose this kind of Pokémon..." Several club members around looked at Jiang Cheng's Magikarp with curiosity.

Unlike Andy, these club members only knew from the conversation just now that Jiang Cheng came here to find some comfortable decorations for his water Pokémon, but they never expected that this water Pokémon would be Magikarp.

Indeed, Magikarp is the most common aquatic Pokémon, but few people choose to tame it. The core reason is that Magikarp has no combat power and cannot fight. It is even more difficult for it to become stronger. And who can Magikarp defeat with its awkward combination of moves?

Would you like to perform a show for everyone by splashing water?

People may not have any ill will towards this Pokémon, but few people would choose Magikarp as their Pokémon. Given Magikarp's difficult evolutionary conditions, it is unknown whether it can survive and evolve into Gyarados. What's more, after evolving, Gyarados's violent temper may also lead to a bad relationship with its trainer.

Andy was very clear about Jiang Cheng's purpose of joining the diving club. In order to create a comfortable environment for his water Pokémon,

"Haha, it's the first Pokémon I caught when I was fishing. It means a lot to me." Jiang Cheng just explained with a smile and emphasized the importance of Magikarp to himself.

This is my elf. No matter how weak it is, it is an important companion to me.

"Besides, don't you think that Magikarp is very reliable as a diving partner?" Jiang Cheng asked back with a smile while putting on the mask. Without waiting for the other party's answer, he jumped into the water and came to Magikarp.

"Okay, good buddy, from now on, my life is in your hands!" Patting the hard scales of the Magikarp, Jiang Cheng smiled and communicated with the author of the Magikarp.

"I may hold your dorsal fin with my hand later. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time and tap my arm with your tail. I will know, okay?"

Magikarp's eyes changed from a small dot to an arc.

It turns out that Magikarp can laugh.

Chapter 44: I am the Superman

In the game, Magikarp's speed is exactly the same as Dragonite's.

Dragonite is a creature that has speed written into its description. It is rumored that Dragonite can orbit the earth once in about 16 hours.

However, speed in the Pokémon game is a very abstract mixed concept, which includes many concepts such as speed, reaction speed, attack speed, etc. So it does not mean that a high speed is necessarily fast. It may also mean that they react faster and can get the right to attack faster in battle.

But no matter from which angle you look at it, Magikarp's swimming speed should be quite strong.

It can be seen from the force with which the Magikarp leaps out of the water that, with a body length of one meter, it needs extremely strong athletic ability to obtain the kinetic energy to leap high enough out of the water.

As a person who has experienced it personally, Jiang Cheng feels that this guess makes sense.

As if it was angry, the Magikarp under the water was like a red torpedo. Its powerful tail swung quickly a few times and carried Jiang Cheng underwater at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah... Magikarp, slow down..." Jiang Cheng was a little scared. The diving speed was too fast and his body might not be able to withstand such water pressure.

The Magikarp obediently slowed down a bit. Jiang Cheng slowly felt his body condition and looked at the depth gauge on his wrist. In just a second, the Magikarp had brought him to nine meters underwater. But surprisingly, Jiang Cheng did not feel too much discomfort. Even the eardrum, which should have been uncomfortable the most, was completely normal.

"Is this the precious man? Guigui, the innate Astartes holy body." Feeling the strength of this body that came through, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be very surprised.

Even if he is malnourished and very thin, the strength of his physique can be seen here. The water pressure at a depth of 9 meters is zero, and the rapid dive does not bring any negative effects to the body. This kind of physical fitness is something that ordinary humans cannot even imagine.

"I'm fine Magikarp"

After vaguely realizing that he seemed to be a superman embryo, Jiang Cheng's experimental mentality came up. Just like when he saw that the original owner's father's urn had an atmosphere value, he thought about experimenting to see if he could put it up as a decoration. When he felt that his body was unusual, he wanted to try to see to what extent his body could achieve.

Dark blue, let me see your limits!

"Magic Carp, sprint with all your might. Let's go for it together!"

The carp king understood, swung its tail fin quickly, and dived quickly towards the bottom of the water. Jiang Cheng got to know his new body through this new experience.

With extremely strong dynamic vision, even at this speed, Jiang Cheng could clearly distinguish the "Western Sea Lion" Andy and his partner, the Flowery Sea Lion, who had just been left behind by them. Although this guy has a fat body, he is an indispensable dancer in the island's celebration activities.

After waving and saying hello, Jiang Cheng let the other party eat his fishtail lamp.

Magikarp moved forward along the seabed and soon arrived at the area that the club was going to clean up this time - Beach 47.
