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

For the convenience of management, the beach here is divided into many different blocks. With such a large coastline, it is impossible for the diving club to cast a wide net, so they carry out regional cleaning. After cleaning one area, they will go to the next one another day.

After the Magikarp slowly stopped, Jiang Cheng moved his wrist slightly. Even though he was pulling the high-speed Magikarp like this, his wrist did not feel sore at all. He was truly strong and powerful. After the quick sprint, his body did not feel any discomfort at all.

Is this what it feels like to be superhuman?

It’s so exciting!

"Thank you, Magikarp!" After patting Magikarp's body, Jiang Cheng slowly dived down, took out a sealed bag from the backpack behind him, shook it out of the sea water, took out a rack, and began to pick up some garbage from the seabed, while looking for suitable aquatic plants around.

Soon, he saw one.

He took out a small shovel and slowly dug up the seabed on the side, digging downwards in a circle. Finally, he put the seabed under the water plants into the bag.

Jiang Cheng nodded, everything went smoothly at the beginning, and then he continued searching.

There is actually quite a lot of garbage on the beach. It’s not that the tourists here are very uncultured, but the sea is always full of surprises. You never know when a small boat out to sea will be knocked over by a naughty Pokémon, and the things on the boat will fall into the water. The strong winds in the Alola region every year will also blow a large number of items on the island into the sea and gather on the seabed. The broken fishing nets and fishing lines brought by tourists when fishing out to sea are only a part of it.

It also highlights the necessity of cleaning the seabed. On the one hand, it is to protect the sea water. On the other hand, cleaning up these garbage can also prevent Pokémon from accidentally eating them.

The reason for coming to this beach for the cleanup this time is because the Pokémon Center previously received a Pokémon that accidentally ate underwater garbage in this area, so the association specifically chose this place.

After cleaning for a while, Jiang Cheng dug up three pieces of water plants, patted the Magikarp, asked it to float up with him, and handed the garbage and water plants to the club members who were waiting above. Jiang Cheng continued to dive with the Magikarp.

The perspective of the underwater world is completely different. The sunlight shines down from the sea surface, and below are densely packed corals. Inside, groups of sun corals are moving around together, and loving fish are swimming happily among the corals, kissing each other as if no one is around. When they see Jiang Cheng, the huge "outsider", some of them flee, while others huddle together in a ball.

The sun corals in different regions also have their own slight differences. The branches of the sun corals in the Alola region are shorter and thicker than those in other regions. This is mainly to deal with the threats from good and bad stars.

After tasting the deliciousness of the sun coral branches, this bad creature became addicted at once, chasing the sun corals in the sea all day long, causing a lot of headaches for the coral branch craftsmen here.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Jiang Cheng was also looking for underwater shelters. When he saw some stones of suitable size, he would mark them and ask the club members who were powerful underwater elves to help transport them up. Of course, he would definitely express his gratitude afterwards.

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Jiang Cheng had just marked an underwater reef when he saw the sun corals in front of him in a commotion. They were moving quickly, and behind them, there was a good and bad star.

"I wonder if Flutter Hair can function underwater.....If it's a ghost type, it should be fine, right?"

Chapter 45: Different Colors, Good and Bad Stars

Suncoral is a wild Pokémon from Alola, and Good and Bad Star is also a wild Pokémon from Alola.

It’s just that one is a vegetarian and the other is a meat eater.

No matter they are good stars, bad stars, or super bad stars, they all like to eat the branches of sun coral. To them, the branches of sun coral are like French fries. They can have a few of them when they have nothing to do. They are delicious and filling.

According to the guidelines for outdoor observation of wild animals, Jiang Ben himself should not interfere with the hunting behavior of the Good and Bad Stars. After all, defining creatures as good or evil based on one's own subjective personal impressions is itself a very strange behavior. After all, the purpose of the Good and Bad Stars is also to fill their stomachs.

But it is not true to say that good and bad stars cannot survive without eating sun corals, because the good and bad stars in the Galar region do not eat sun corals. Of course, it may also be because the sun corals in Galar are ghost-type, and those seemingly long branches are all phantoms that cannot be eaten, and their vitality will be absorbed if you get close to them.

But Jiang Cheng is not here to do outdoor observation, he is here to do population migration. In this case, the hero saving the beauty segment is very necessary. After all, only by improving the impression score first can the Pokémon be willing to communicate with him and take them away.

"Magikarp, hide behind me." After learning that he is Superman, Jiang Cheng is now so inflated that he even feels that Magikarp needs his protection.

But it is true, what can Magikarp do? Magikarp can't do anything, and its only move is a water splash, what else can it do?

Oh yeah, there's also a crash and a madness.

It’s better to step back a little so you don’t get hurt again.

He touched the dark ball on his waist and pressed a button. A white light flashed and he appeared in the sea with flapping wings.

"Fa..." After coming out, Flutterfat had a sour face and was very dissatisfied with being underwater. In fact, the Pokémon inside the ball had a certain understanding of the external environment, although he didn't know how he did it, because Jiang Cheng specially opened the Poké Ball to see the internal structure, it was indeed an opaque structure, unlike the transparent Poké Ball in the special episode, and you can see what Pokémon is inside from the outside.

The surrounding environment made Zhenyifa very uncomfortable, especially her feathers were wet, which made her very unhappy.

But it's just an unpleasant experience. As a ghost, being able to act normally in any environment is a basic operation.

This is the superiority of our ghost type! Can you flying type swim so freely in the water? Can you ground type fly up to the sky and dive into the sea at will? You Groudon...

right?

"Sorry, Flutterwing, it will be over soon. I need your powerful fighting power now."

Jiang Cheng showed an apologetic expression and explained to Zhen Yifa.

"Hmph!" (▼へ▼メ) Flutter Hair turned his head and made a cool "Hmph" sound.

You just know how to say nice things. Since you need me so much...

Zhen Yifa said nothing, protected Jiang Cheng behind him, and went towards the direction of the sun coral colony together.

The sun corals were fleeing, but their short legs made their escape speed really unsatisfactory. Some of them were caught up by the good and bad stars and had their tips of branches gnawed off.

The sun corals suddenly discovered a huge human coming on the road. The human waved behind him, indicating to escape in that direction. The small sun corals immediately understood and started running behind Jiang Cheng.

He quickly hid behind Jiang Cheng and curled up into a ball.

Only now did Jiang Cheng see this good-bad star and understand why it could cause the sun coral colony to panic.

Because it is a heterochromatic good and bad star!

Generally speaking, it is more difficult for Pokémon with different colors to survive in the wild, because their unique body color makes them easier to be discovered and more difficult to integrate into the group.

But the good and bad stars in the Alola region are a counterexample. Here, the good and bad stars of different colors live a more comfortable life than ordinary good and bad stars.

The main reason is that the body color of the heterochromatic star is exactly the same as that of the sun coral.

Compared with other species of the same kind that can be spotted from a long distance, their body color similar to that of sun corals allows them to blend into the sun coral population more easily. If this good-bad star had not bitten so hard that it gnawed off an entire branch of a sun coral, the population would not even have been able to detect it.

The panic of the sun coral groups also comes from this. A traitor suddenly appeared in their own group. How could they not be afraid?

What a surprise.

While Haohuaxing was chewing on the branch in his mouth, he unexpectedly saw a human standing in front of him.

"Good and Bad!" The Good and Bad Star was named not because it is particularly bad, but because its call sounds very much like the unheard-of word "good and bad".

Although I don't know why there are sounds underwater.

"Good bad star, stop hunting. As compensation, I have a better place. Are you willing to go?" After all, it was he who ruined the other party's hunting, so Jiang Cheng's compensation was to see if he could subdue the other party. In addition to giving him three full meals a day, the money could also be used to expand the aquarium.

Yes, Jiang Cheng has planned to turn the pond into an aquarium. This is what is called a dream.

"Good and Bad!" Good and Bad Star naturally could not agree to the human who inexplicably blocked his fries and said some inexplicable words. Seeing that the human did not move away, it was no surprise that he took an attacking posture.

"No way... then it seems we can only use force to recover it..."

Zhen Yifa stood in front of Jiang Cheng without hesitation, watching the good and bad stars, as if he was putting his head on the line.

"Good Bad Star has poison attributes, so try not to get in close contact, Flutter Hair, Shadow Ball!"

Jiang Cheng immediately issued an order, flapped his wings, and the shadow ball in his mouth quickly condensed and flew towards the Good and Bad Star at an extremely fast speed.

A Shadow Ball, even if it only did double the damage, was not something that the Good and Bad Star with only 50 HP and 52 special defense could handle. It was hit with circles in the eyes on the spot. Jiang Cheng immediately took out the red and white ball and threw it directly. The Good and Bad Star turned into a red light and entered the Poké Ball, accompanied by three flashes and a click.

The good and bad stars were successfully subdued.

Then the next step is to communicate with the sun corals.

As for how this good and bad star and sun coral will live in harmony in the aquarium in the future, this matter will be left to our future selves. I believe in the wisdom of future generations!

First solve the problem whether it exists or not, then consider how to treat it!

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhenyifa. Come back first." He put Zhenyifa back into the dark ball. The underwater environment made Zhenyifa very unhappy, so he decided not to let it stay any longer.

After retracting his fluttering hair, he slowly swam to the front of the sun corals: "It's okay, everyone, you are all safe!"

Chapter 46: Magikarp who doesn’t want to be weak anymore

The frightened Sun Corals looked at the Good and Bad Stars who were subdued by Jiang Cheng and shouted excitedly.

A large area of ​​sun corals swayed their branches, welcoming the return of the hero who saved them.

The Carp King looked at the flapping wings in front of him, and looked at Jiang Cheng who was protecting himself and the sun corals and was welcomed by the sun corals. Something seemed to flow out of his big fish eyes, but was quickly disappeared in the sea water.

Something called desire began to appear in Magikarp's mind.

When he was pulled out of the water, he didn't feel much because he was just a Magikarp and after being hoisted up, he would be put back into the water soon.

Such scenes appeared in many stages after he was born.

Those strange iron hooks would hook him, bring him out of the water, and then come to the front of humans. Then he would see the expressions on those people's faces change from happiness to regret: "Ah, why is it Magikarp?"

Then, it will be placed in the sea.

It didn't understand why they felt sorry for it, because it was just a Magikarp and it could only jump.

Until that time, when it was pulled out of the water, it did not show any regretful expression on its face when it saw humans. Instead, it looked at itself curiously. It touched its scales, touched its dorsal fin, and said happily, "You are my first fish, and the first one is a meter long. It's a good sign!"

For the first time, a human being was joyful when he saw himself.

Later, it was taken to a large pond. It was not as big as the sea, but it was also spacious. The human squatted on the water and said to himself that it was a bit monotonous here now. He needed to find some aquatic plants, some shelter, and some space for himself. He also needed to find himself various different companions.

Shelter, water plants, and companions, Magikarp once had all of these, but none of them belonged to him.

And now, it will have its own water plants, shelter and companions, all of which come from that person.

Magikarp remembers that when others asked in confusion, why did they prepare those things for Magikarp? Magikarp can't do anything, and they have strong vitality and can survive in any environment.

The boy named Jiang Cheng replied: Being able to survive does not mean that it can live. Even Magikarp is a very smart Pokémon. They also have life necessities, their own space, aquatic plants and companions. Just because they can splash in the water does not mean that they are mindless machines.

How is it feeding if it is just alive?

The Magikarp didn’t understand before, because it had almost no contact with humans and didn’t understand why humans looked so sorry for it. But now, it understands, because it is the Magikarp, it can’t do anything.

But even though I can't do anything, I am still loved.

What he eats is the same as the powerful Flutterhair, and he won't get a single cent less just because he is a useless Magikarp.

You can also have your own water plants and reef hut, and you won’t be looked at with pity because you can only splash in the water.

If you go out on your own, you will be protected and have the opportunity to show your useful side.

But there is always some dissatisfaction.

It doesn't understand what it is dissatisfied with.

Maybe he was not satisfied that Flutterbuck and Gastly could eat the big cake, but that was the reward for winning the battle, and he could not fight. The small strawberry cake was delicious, and if it was the big one, he would definitely be satisfied, right?

Today he understood what he was dissatisfied with.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

It is dissatisfied with being loved but unable to return the love.

In front of outsiders, Jiang Cheng defended himself and said that he was his important partner. But how could an important partner just hide behind him?

He said that he is a very useful Pokémon, but if he is so useful, how can he only know how to swim?

Even though he was a water-type Pokémon, he could only rely on Flutterhair, which was very uncomfortable underwater, and he couldn't help at all.

It turned out that what he was dissatisfied with was his own weakness.

All Magikarp are like this, they can only splash and jump in the water and can't do anything else.

It doesn't want to continue being Magikarp.

He wanted to be useful, to be able to protect Jiang Cheng, to be strong, so that Jiang Cheng would not have to defend him in front of outsiders, but would be proud of having him, and let everyone admire that he had such a powerful elf.

It wants to be a Pokémon that can be felt as powerful just by hearing its name!

.........

Jiang Cheng had no idea about the intense psychological activities going on in Magikarp behind him. At this moment, he was preparing to win the favor of Sun Coral, like a scumbag.

"How is it? Are you feeling better?" He gently applied the healing medicine he had prepared to the sun coral whose branch was bitten off by the Good and Bad Star. Although the sun coral has the ability to regenerate, the bitten branch can grow back in about three days, but who would be willing to wait for three days if it can be healed on the spot?

Besides, at this time, you just need to improve your impression! Who cares how many days it takes for him to recover? Attitude is the most important thing!

Sure enough, the little sun coral that was crying just now smiled immediately when it saw the branches that had grown back.

"Coral"

Jiang Cheng took out some Pokémon food and distributed it to the sun corals, calming the emotions of these little guys who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth.

The innocent sun corals immediately determined that the human in front of them was a good person. They helped us fight off the good and bad stars, treated us, and gave us food. They were so kind!
