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

In the past month, Jiang Cheng has recovered from his skinny appearance with shrunken cheeks. At the same time, due to regular activities and low body fat, the muscle contours of his body have become clearer.

What attracts the most attention, of course, is the four wings that are either resting on the boy's shoulders or slightly spread out, and the big head.

And the little machine that was floating beside the boy and making non-stop noises.

For example, right now, it is still introducing the Pokémon in the garden in front of it: "Desert Dragonfly, a mysterious Pokémon, is a ground and dragon attribute Pokémon. Because it is located in the center of the sandstorm it rolls up, it is a Pokémon that rarely appears in front of people, Lotor!"

Jiang Cheng nodded to the staff member apologetically: "Sorry, this is my Pokémon Encyclopedia, and it will automatically introduce me to the Pokémon I see for the first time."

As for how to judge whether this Pokémon is seen for the first time, it is very simple. It is the first time I, Rotom, have seen it.

"I see, this is actually a Pokémon Encyclopedia? It seems like you must be a very good trainer!" The staff member looked at Rotom with some surprise. He had heard of Pokémon Encyclopedias but had never seen one. It turned out that Pokémon Encyclopedias could talk and fly?

Jiang Chengze looked at the desert dragonfly lying on the ground with its eyes closed for a nap. It was the ultimate hope of the Zerg, an earth dragon that could perform the dragon dance. It could fly in the air without fear of thunder and could dig holes without fear of earthquakes. It was the only one of its kind that could reach the level of ground-based types after it had settled down. It was four times weak to ice, and even Gou Hao could only conquer it through a battle. It was an absolute tough nut to crack.

Xiaozhi, help me in the battle! .jpg

《You can only realize your dreams by yourself》

In the movie, he carried Ash and severely humiliated Groudon. They were all ground-type, so who couldn't fly?

However, its poor measurements are its fatal flaw. When talking about earth dragons, no one would think of the desert dragonfly. In everyone's mind, there is either the shark dragon that cannot dance the dragon dance, or the rat-headed earth dragon. As for the desert dragonfly, who are you?

Not to mention, it looks quite handsome. As a mount Pokémon, its ability to make beautiful music when flapping its wings also makes it very popular. It is a very popular type among mount Pokémon.

"Dragonite?... This is a bit difficult..."

Jiang Cheng withdrew his thoughts and saw the embarrassment on the face of the staff in front of him.

Jiang Cheng reacted: "Is Dragonite very rare?"

The staff nodded. "Yes, it is quite rare. At least our company does not have Dragonite at the moment. But before that, I want to ask, what are you going to do if you rent Dragonite? Because Charizard can meet most of the needs of daily flying mount Pokémon."

Jiang Cheng told the truth: "I am going to Donghuang to get some goods, and then come back. Because Dragonite is faster, so..."

"I see... it's for speed. In that case, I recommend you choose a Garchomp."

"Griffin?" Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Jiang Cheng was indeed quite familiar with this Dragonite. The power of this Capriatus was deeply rooted in people's hearts before the 7th generation, especially as it was the main Pokémon of many players' dream lover, Ran. Although it had a villainous face, its image was quite positive, standing in sharp contrast to Garchomp.

I can only say that Land Shark understands cuteness.

"Yes, Garchomp is also a very fast Pokémon. Its normal speed is as fast as a jet plane. Although it is not as fast as Dragonite, its speed is not to be underestimated. I sincerely recommend you to consider it."

After hearing the flight crew's introduction, Jiang Chengcai remembered that Tyrannosaurus was classified as a sonic Pokémon, and its normal flying speed was the speed of sound. Although it was not as fast as the 2500 kilometers per hour of Fatso, a flying speed of 1224 kilometers was completely enough.

"In that case, if I take Land Shark on a cross-border flight, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"We had to consider some air traffic control issues, but..." The staff member looked up at Rotom and said, "But if you have an elf encyclopedia, you won't have to worry about it. If you are questioned, just show your encyclopedia to the local management staff."

“Is it possible?” Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. When he watched the animation before, he didn’t realize that the illustration book was such a useful thing?

"You probably just got the Pokémon Dictionary not long ago. The Pokémon Dictionary is only available to trainers who are approved by the local Pokémon Doctor. It is like a trainer's ID card and pass. With it, Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Stores around the world will open their doors to you."

Permanent free accommodation at the Pokemon Center and the right to purchase all kinds of props, these invisible benefits are endless.

At this moment, Jiang Chengcai realized what a great gift Dr. Kukui had given him.

"This is really..." Jiang Cheng shook his head. He didn't need to express his gratitude for such a great favor. In that case, he would just do his best to repay the favor: "Then I'll leave it to you. I want to rent a Land Shark."

The cost of renting a mount Pokémon is not cheap, especially for a Pokémon like Garchomp. However, as a native of Alola, Jiang Cheng enjoys local discounts, and as a Pokedex holder, he gets an additional discount, so the price is still very acceptable.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and bring the child out."

After collecting the money, the staff bowed and left. After a while, they brought out a burly land shark from the cage.

It is nearly 3 meters tall, with a dark blue base color, red from the lower jaw to the upper abdomen, and yellow on the lower abdomen. It has two protrusions on its head, an inverted five-pointed star-shaped yellow spot on the tip of its nose, sharp teeth in its mouth, and three gill slits on both sides of its neck. Its claws are white with single toes, its feet are three-toed, there are two white bone spurs on each of its upper arms and thighs, and a small notch on its dorsal fin, indicating that this is a very strong and powerful male land shark.

“Gah…”

Although his face was full of ferocity and oppression, due to his previous image, Jiang Cheng was not really afraid of the big guy like Land Shark.

"Hello, Land Shark, please take care of me from today on!"

“Gah…!!”

The mount Pokémon here does not have a Pokémon control device like in the game, which looks like a small mobile phone. There is only a single-person saddle at the waist of Garchomp. All you have to do is sit on it.

Compared to the Aether Foundation's almost mind control-like methods in the game, this setting seems much more child-oriented and more in line with the customs and practices of the Alola region.

After all, how could a people who wouldn't even let their own Pokémon stay in a ball be willing to let their Pokémon be trapped in such a device?

"Fa ah?" As if sensing something, Zhenyifa poked his head out from behind Jiang Cheng.

Then, she saw the burly Land Shark in front of her.

"Wings flapping awake? This is Tyrannosaurus Rex, he can carry us to fly in the sky from now on."

"Fa" Master Fa flaps his wings and can fly.

"Mr. Flying Wings can indeed fly, but Tyrannosaurus can take me and Mr. Flying Wings to fly together, and we can also stay in the air," Jiang Cheng coaxed.

Zhen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then the look he gave Lu Shark became much hotter.

This is a good seedling for my younger brother!

Jiang Cheng looked at the Land Shark with a smile, and he was already eager to try it.

Who doesn’t have a dream of flying? Especially a dream of flying at the speed of sound.

Now that the Land Shark is in his hands, how can Jiang Cheng resist taking off into the sky for a spin?

Chapter 82: First Flight

With a feeling of trepidation and anticipation, Jiang Cheng sat on the Land Shark.

The saddle of the Land Shark is fixed in front of its dorsal fin. In front of the single seat, there is a handle to assist in controlling the direction, but there are no other fixed devices.

There are no footrests, no seat belts, and even no flight helmets. There is a kind of beauty that does not care about the life and death of tourists.

It seems that for these treasures, flying at the speed of sound in the flesh is as natural as going out for a walk.

The correct sitting position is to kneel on the seat and fold your legs. Although it is a bit awkward, it is the safest and most comfortable position. Otherwise, both the trainer and the Pokémon will feel uncomfortable.

Sitting on Garchomp's body, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but touch Garchomp's skin.

The skin of a shark is actually very rough to the touch, with a texture like sandpaper, but the Land Shark is completely different. If you touch it in the same direction, the surface of the Land Shark is as smooth as a mirror, but if you touch it in the opposite direction, the sharp ends of the scales will prick your fingers and cause pain.

This is the difference between aerodynamics and fluid dynamics. It is said that every scale on Land Shark or Round Land Shark can allow other dragons to learn dragon dance. It has to be said that it is a bit humorous.

After adjusting his sitting position, Jiang Cheng stuffed Rotom into his arms and let Flutterhair sit back in the backpack. With only his big head exposed, Flutterhair looked at Garchomp under him curiously, a little surprised. How could he fly with so many people on him?

"I'm ready, Land Shark, get ready for takeoff." Gripping the handle in front of him tightly, Jiang Cheng prepared himself mentally.

“Gah…”

Garchomp responded calmly, slowly folding his forearms over his shoulders, spreading his elbows outward like the wings of a jet plane, and suddenly retracting his hind legs until he was suspended in mid-air.

"Flap your wings, hold on tight!" Before Jiang Cheng could finish his words, he felt a huge resistance in front of him and a loud bang in his ears. From the outside, it looked like a gray-white sonic barrier cloud appeared beside Tyrannosaurus.

What does it feel like to fly in the air?

Jiang Cheng in the past was not aware that he had also sat on a passenger plane, looking out the window at the sea of ​​clouds outside, or looking down at the mountains and ravines below and the lights of thousands of homes.

But that kind of flying is completely different from the one we have today.

Jiang Ben thought he would feel very uncomfortable, but surprisingly, he did not feel particularly uncomfortable. He only felt the biting sea breeze in front of him. But at this moment, he had no intention of sighing at the strong physique of his treasure.

Suddenly, I looked out at the mountains and the rising sun over the sea, dyeing the water surface golden.

The Land Sharks fly in the air quite freely, and it is almost impossible to catch their flight paths with the naked eye on the ground. Just like now, they suddenly rise up and soar straight into the sky. Jiang Cheng cannot see even a trace of land in his sight. They pierce into the sea of ​​clouds like a javelin, making his body wet and cold, and then break through the cloud barrier and pass through the clouds. Looking up, there is a sea of ​​clouds.

The sky at this time was extremely pure. In the azure blue, one could even see a few bright stars, but they were getting darker and darker because the sun was also climbing up rapidly with them.

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened, and he felt so happy that he just wanted to shout out loud, as if the world was so big and he could go anywhere, and the feeling of freedom and joy filled every inch of his body.

Then, Land Shark flipped backwards, did a cobra maneuver, and went straight down into the sea of ​​clouds.

The water rushed against my face and the wind whistled as if it was fighting with the sky. When I emerged from the clouds again, I saw another deep blue and those beautiful islands.

The names of the four Alola Islands correspond to their colors in Hawaiian: the yellow of Melemele, the pink of Akala, the red of Ula'ula, and the purple of Poni, which correspond to the colors of the four island gods.

Ula'ula Island is the most appropriate one, mainly because of the towering red mountain Lanakila with a snow-capped top, which represents the pinnacle of Alola.

Down and down again, from the snow top all the way to the edge of the volcano, making people's palms sweat, afraid of bumping into the rugged mountain road, until the ground became larger and larger, the trees and grass on the ground could be seen clearly, and it felt that it was about to crash into the ground. The Land Shark suddenly climbed again, passing straight across the ground, and the wind blades on both sides of its wings cut through the surrounding trees.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look behind him. There was a huge and towering mountain. They had just flown over it. The thrill of challenging the limits of his senses made his heart beat faster.

But for Land Shark, it's just normal.

After returning to the ground, Tyrannosaurus slowed down, followed Jiang Cheng's instructions, came to the outside of the hot spring hall, and slowly stopped.

Jiang Cheng loosened the handle he had been holding tightly, lowered his legs to the ground, but perhaps it was because his legs were numb from folding them before, or because the flight just now was too stimulating, Jiang Cheng only felt his legs go weak, and he was able to stand firmly only by holding on to the Land Shark.

This Land Shark is obviously an experienced pilot. He knows how to make tourists experience the fun of flying to the greatest extent during the short rental period. His professional level is indeed very strong, but the person riding it is a novice.

"It seems that if I want to fly long distances, I have to practice more." Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed of his previous naive thoughts. Yes, even to drive a car, one needs to get a driver's license and spend some time getting used to it. He has never even ridden a Pokémon before, but he wants to ride a Dragonite. However, in fact, he cannot even adapt to Garchomp, which is half the speed of Dragonite. Who knows how he will make a fool of himself if he rides on Dragonite.

Fortunately, the hot spring center's current inventory seems to be able to support it for a while, and Jiang Cheng still has quite some time to improve his driving skills and try to adapt to the speed and pace of the Land Shark.

Just as I was daydreaming, Zhenyifa beside me reminded me, "Fa!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng turned her head and saw the equally excited look in Flutterfat's eyes. Now she finally experienced the joy of owning a mount Pokémon.

"Ah, yes, there is a new member in the family, so we should celebrate it." Jiang Cheng did not explain that Lu Shark was only on loan and would have to be returned after a while. Since Lord Zhenyifa was happy, then they should celebrate it.

"Gruis, let's fly slower this time and go to the cake shop in the city."

I also want to celebrate my first flight today.

Chapter 83: Zhenyifa: You are not awesome!

After Jiang Cheng finished the purchase, he asked Lu Shark to send them back to the door before he said goodbye to this big guy at the door.

Since he realized that his driving skills were not up to par, Jiang Cheng planned to rent the car for short periods of time to improve his driving ability and also to save money.

Although an antique was sold before, the landlord's family still has no surplus food! What should be spent should be spent, and what should be saved should still be saved.

"Then let's stop here first. Thank you, Land Shark. Do you remember the way back, Land Shark? Or do you need me to accompany you back to handle the formalities?"

"Gaao" Land Shark just nodded in response, stood up without saying anything more, rose high into the sky, and then flew away with a sonic boom.

"Fa?" Zhen Yifa had already crawled out of the backpack when she was in the cake shop. She was still very careful about her solemn image in front of others.

Watching the departure of Liebite Lu Shark, Zhen Yifa asked Jiang Cheng curiously.

Why did the mount leave?

"Because we rented the Pokémon, when the rental times are up, we'll send it back. If you want to ride it again next time, you'll have to rent it again."

"Send it?"

What is Lease?

Jiang Cheng considered his words: "Leasing is... well, Pokémon use their time and abilities in exchange for some money, and support themselves through their own labor."

“Send it…”

"Can't we just let it be our mount? No... We are not strong enough now, and we don't have the money."

"Let it go!" Then you are not awesome!

After making the decision, Zhen Yifa encountered new problems.

"Why do we need to exchange for money? Because this is human society. The operation of society cannot be separated from it. Food, accommodation, and every aspect of life cannot be separated from money. Just like us, we open a hot spring spa to make money."

"Send it!"

The Winged Hair Master can also be rented!

"Master Zhenyifa also wants to earn money to support his family?"

"Send it!" That's right!

"I see. If it's rented, it may not be suitable for Master Zhen Yi Fa. Can we look for a way to make money that is more suitable for Master Zhen Yi Fa?"

This kind of words is just to comfort the ignorant Zhenyifa. After all, he really can't think of any business that can rent Zhenyifa. Maybe it would be okay if Alola opened a haunted house? Otherwise, he really can't think of where Zhenyifa can be employed.

But it's not all nonsense. Jiang Cheng will still try his best to help Zhen Yifa find a job. After all, it's rare for a child to be so ambitious, so he must be strongly supported.
