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

"Well then," Jiang Cheng struggled, and after hesitating for a long time, he slammed his palms, as if he had made up his mind: "Since Ergui Yan loves learning so much and has such a high talent, it would be a huge waste if he doesn't make an exception. So I will make an exception this time and teach Ergui Yan one more word!"

"Boni ao"

"Well, Erguiyan, please read carefully. I will write this for you. You should also pay more attention. If you feel tired, you must stop."

"Boniao!" Erguiyan nodded obediently, but it was hard to say whether he heard it or not.

The branches passed across the sand table, rustling like the melodious sea breeze on Ula Ula Island. Jiang Cheng taught seriously, and Ergui Yan learned seriously beside him.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.

"Boss, I'm here again. I heard you guys are having a reward event again?" A regular customer walked into the hot spring center and came up to Jiang Cheng to say hello.

"Welcome, welcome. We have recently added a lot of food for sale, including cakes, drinks, and hot dogs. If you like, you can try them."

"Oh, really? Then I must try it. The ice cream here is always delicious. I'm looking forward to your other delicacies."

“You will definitely not be disappointed”

"Hey, this is....Pokémon?"

"Yes, this is the Uruk-Yo who just came to my house. Isn't he cute?"

"Boniao~" Although Erguilang was still a little nervous compared to when he first arrived, he was much better now and greeted him timidly.

"Oh, such a cute little guy, where did you capture it? We in Alola have never seen such a cute little guy..." The customer knelt down in surprise and looked at Eruption, then looked at Jiang Cheng and said.

"I'm lucky, I met him outside." The expression on Jiang Cheng's face was like a fisherman who caught a 50-pound fish.

"What type? Grass type?"

"Yes, grass type."

"Grass-type Pokémon are great! They're easy to raise! I also have a Grass-type Pokémon at home, a Spathiphyllum, it's very cute and easy to raise."

"Especially grass-type Pokémon, they can also help the flowers I grow at home grow..."

The customer became talkative and began to talk nonstop. He chatted for a long time before entering the store.

Seeing this talkative old man finally go in, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned to look at Erguiliang. At this moment, Erguiliang also happened to be looking at him. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Ah, speaking of taming... Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that it seemed... he had never let Uruk-chan enter the Poké Ball?

I'm going to go to the Friendship Store later and buy a nice Poké Ball for Uruk-O.

I happen to be going to see the person from the Ether Foundation in a couple of days to ask for help with the operation and get the mount Pokémon as soon as possible. In the meantime, I can take you on a trip.

Chapter 128: I have conquered Erguiyan!

The weather is getting hotter.

Summer is a season that Jiang Cheng really dislikes because he really can't stand the heat.

Fortunately, there is a Gastly inside the hot spring center, and the temperature inside the hot spring center is always ten degrees lower than outside, which can be said to be quite comfortable.

When the weather gets hot, Jiang Cheng doesn't want to go out. He usually stays at home, accompanying Zhen Yifa in training for a while, or teaching Eguiyan to write.

Of course, no matter training or learning characters, it would not take too long. Generally speaking, Jiang Chengdu would accompany Zhen Yifa for training in the morning, and in the afternoon, he would take time to teach Eguiyan a few characters, step by step.

At this stage, cultivating interest in learning is more important than learning itself. So every time he taught Erguiyan a word, Jiang Cheng would praise him exaggeratedly, or look at Erguiyan with a face full of doubt, asking if he had been studying hard secretly. After teaching him a few words, he would stop and tactfully persuade the little guy that his energy was limited, and even if Erguiyan was a genius, he was not omnipotent. At the little guy's strong request, he would teach him a little more.

After teaching, he did not forget to advise the little guy that his health was important and he must not study hard in secret. He also pretended not to know that the little guy was studying secretly behind his back.

In Alola's summer, the weather is very changeable. The climate on this island is like a child's face, changing at any time. It may be sunny and windy just now, and then suddenly it will be cloudy and rainy.

Fortunately, thanks to the island god, although Alola's climate is changeable, major natural disasters have never occurred.

People on the street are wearing shorter and shorter clothes, and the sun outside the window is so bright that people can't open their eyes. When the sun shines, people are covered in sticky sweat after a day's work, which leads to an increase in the number of guests going to the hot spring resorts to soak in the hot springs.

It just happened to be Jiang Cheng’s big sale, and the hot spring center had added new beverage self-service machines, which sold several types of soda like Sprite and Coke. They were cheap, and tasted just as good as the delicious sodas, so they were very popular with customers.

The sales of drinks and ice cream are quite high. Even customers who don’t take a hot spring bath will come to the hot spring center and buy some to take home.

Finally, after saving for a while, Jiang Cheng saved up 300 evil ghost coins and used a fire stove mask to upgrade it.

Looking at the words "Repair takes 48 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds" on it, Jiang Cheng curled his lips.

He has more important things to do today. After this period of opening promotion, Jiang Cheng also plans to have a good rest for a day. According to the working habits here in Alola, Jiang Cheng is an out-and-out slacker. Even if he takes two days off, no one will say anything.

"Hello, is this Ms. Lisa? Yes, it's me, the Jiang Cheng I mentioned before. I was too busy before, and I'm really sorry for neglecting you. I finally have some free time these days. Do you think it's convenient for me to come and participate in your activities?"

"Ah, it's Jiang Cheng. It's been a long time. Are you finally free now? What a coincidence. We are organizing a rescue operation these two days and are going to Zhulin Mountain. I wonder if Jiang Cheng has time?"

"Really? I'm free right now!"

"Is that so? In that case, if you are free, Jiang Cheng can come down here to register and we can probably leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." Jiang Cheng calculated that it would be just right for Er Gui Yan's mask to be repaired by the next day, so he agreed immediately: "No problem, wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

Jiang Cheng is not so afraid of exploring the wild now. With General Fluttering Wings, he also has a level 55 Eruption. With this combination, he can basically move around freely in the wild.

Zhulin Mountain... doesn't seem to be a particularly dangerous place, we can just go there!

I had promised the teacher that I would go to Donghuang. Lao Gao also sent me a message a few days ago, saying that several merchants had been contacted there. Jiang Cheng had to speed up the process of obtaining the mount Pokémon.

"Evil Ghost, we have to go out!"

"Boni-ao!" Ergui-yan followed Jiang Cheng with a clattering sound.

Whenever Jiang Cheng goes out these days, he will definitely bring Eruption with him, mainly because he wants to build up some self-confidence for Eruption through the kind and gentle people of Alola.

The effect can be said to be quite good. Now Erguiyan is no longer so restrained when meeting people, and getting along with people has become much more natural.

“We are going to the Ether Foundation today.”

"Boni Ao~" Ether Foundation~

"Yes, the Aether Foundation. Eruption has learned the words of the Aether Society before, right? I will teach the rest to Eruption later, okay?"

"Boni!" Okay!

"But before that, we need to go get a Poké Ball for Uruk-chan."

"Bonnie?"

"The Poké Ball is the thing used to bring Uruk-O to me, just like this one." Jiang Cheng took out the dark ball belonging to Flutterfa from his waist.

"This is the ball that Flutterbear throws. Magikarp also has his own ball, Gastly also has his own ball, so we have to choose a ball that's suitable for Uruk-chan as well."

"Boni~"

The ball of the evil one!

"Yes, this means that I have signed a contract with Uruk-O. With the ball, others will know that Uruk-O is our Pokémon and will not be treated as a wild Pokémon."

"Boni!" The Pokémon with a home!

The little guy's breathing quickened, and there was a hint of urging in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Well, let's go. Let's find a nice ball for Ergui Yan!"

"Bonnie!"

After riding all the way to the Friendship Store, Jiang Cheng brought the Rotom Illustrated Book with him this time and said to the front desk lady, "Hello, do you have any Friendship Balls here?"

The Friend Ball is a green ball with red and gold patterns on the top. The friendship level between the captured Pokémon and the trainer will immediately increase to 150. In the game, the principal of the trainer school, Narito Oki, will give one to the player.

But in fact, Ergui's favorability towards Jiang Cheng has reached 100, so the Friendship Ball is not very useful. Jiang Cheng mainly thinks that the color scheme of his Friendship Ball is very suitable for Ergui.

Jiang Cheng is an old man who doesn't care about his appearance. He never looks at any special effects when choosing a ball. Color matching is the key.

The receptionist who saw the Rotom Encyclopedia next to Jiang Cheng nodded immediately: "Friend Ball? Yes, please wait a moment!"

Soon, the receptionist lowered her head to process something on the computer, and a circular gap opened up on the high-tech counter in front of Jiang Cheng, and a green Youyou ball slowly floated up.

"Sir, your Youyou ball costs 150 in total."

This is also the privilege of the owner of the Pokémon Go. Trainers with the League Pokémon Go can buy special balls at a very low price in the Friendship Store. The other price difference will be paid by the League. If you buy it from outside, it will be much more expensive. If you buy it through non-formal channels, it will be even more expensive.

Jiang Cheng picked up the Youyou ball and looked at Erguiyan.

When the time came, he found himself a little nervous.

"Ergui, are you willing to sign a contract with me?"

"Boni~"

Erguiliang also looked at Jiang Cheng, lowered his head to the Youyou ball in Jiang Cheng's hand, slowly put his forehead close to the ball, turned into a red light, and entered the ball.

Beep, beep, click.

As the sound effect of successful capture rang out, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think of those familiar words in his mind.

Erupt, get DaZe!

Chapter 129: Registration

The process of taming Evil Spirit was uneventful, just like an ordinary little thing in daily life.

This may not be serious enough, but for Jiang Cheng and Ergui, everything is just a natural result.

All those rituals and promises were perfectly interpreted by actions that night, and the rest is just a long-lasting flow.

A white light came on, and Erguiyan was released again. The little guy blinked his eyes, with a dazed look on his face.

"How does it feel to be in the ball?"

Ergui shook his head: "Boni-ao"

"Don't like it? Then we won't stay in the ball."

Come to think of it, how could a Pokémon like Uruk-O be willing to stay in the ball? People who come out of the darkness will cherish the light after grasping it.

"Boni-ao!" Don't just stay there!

Uruk-O is also a Pokémon with its own opinion. It looks soft and cute, but actually has its own ideas. However, as a child who has been wandering for a long time, when he meets someone who is willing to take him in, he will always behave very sensibly, for fear that he will lose everything because of his own failures. This kind of sensibility is very distressing.

However, as Erguiyan gets along with Jiang Cheng, he is gradually willing to let down his inner defenses and show his true self. This is also a kind of recognition for Jiang Cheng.

After staying in Alola for a long time, Jiang Cheng also adapted to the local customs and became less willing to put Pokémon in the ball. The main reason was that the people in this place were really Buddhist.

For example, no one would care if Lillie took Little Nebula running around the street, and no one would ask if Jiang Cheng took Zhenyifa out, and they would just say hello when they saw Erguirong. Everyone was very easy-going and relaxed.

And if I were to go to other areas with Flutterwing or Erguipeng, I would probably be approached and questioned, or dragged into a fight.

Jiang Cheng left the Friendship Store with Erguiyan. Everything seemed the same as before, but everything also seemed very different.

.....

After dealing with the Pokeball of Uruk-York, the next step is to register at the Aether Foundation.

The main purpose of this trip was to register information and confirm the time. In addition, Jiang Cheng wanted to find the ball for Erguilang, so he did not let Zhen Yifa go with him. Of course, she could not come along. As the person in charge of the Dui Zhan Hot Spring Hall, a key tourism project in Maliejing City, Zhen Yifa is very busy now.

Jiang Cheng also advised Zhen Yifa to fight less every day, but the child had his own ideas. Especially after seeing Jiang Cheng spend money to cook such a big table of food with her own earnings a few days ago, he worked even harder.

They came to a building. The Aether Foundation has office buildings on various islands. No one knew where this organization that was always spending money got so much money. Could it be that Lusamine had discovered a gold mine in another world without telling her friends?

When entering, there are many employees wearing standard uniforms talking to each other. The decoration style inside the Ether Foundation is also mainly white. Coupled with the white uniforms, entering the building feels like I am going to get snow blindness.

When these employees saw Erguiyan beside Jiang Cheng, they were all surprised and looked at him with curious eyes, which made Erguiyan move closer to Jiang Cheng.

"It's okay." Jiang Cheng gently took Ergui's hand to reassure the little guy.

"Hello, I am Jiang Cheng who has contacted Ms. Lisa. Could you please notify her?"

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Cheng, Ms. Lisa has already informed us. You can go to the Operations Management Office on the 7th floor to see her directly."

"Thank you very much"

“What a huge family and business... The Ether Foundation...” Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but sigh as he watched the number of elevators continue to rise.

"Operation Management Office...Operation Management Office...Ah, I found it."

Jiang Cheng gently lifted the glass door, and a beautiful lady who was buried in her desk raised her head and smiled when she saw Jiang Cheng.

"Ala, welcome, welcome. I was wondering when you could come over!" Lisa greeted Jiang Cheng warmly: "Come and sit down."

Jiang Cheng hurried forward, drew a chair, and sat opposite Lisa.

"I have been delayed for a long time before, and I dare not neglect it this time. After receiving the news, I rushed here immediately. I hope I am not too late."

"It's not too late. After all, the best time to rescue Pokémon is now. Just in time, you can fill out the registration form for the accompanying personnel. If nothing goes wrong, we will set off together tomorrow. The Ether Foundation will be responsible for the equipment for the trip, so you don't need to prepare anything special."

“Is our Ether Foundation so generous? I feel embarrassed…” Jiang Cheng looked ashamed, but he was very happy in his heart.
