Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

"Chirp~!"

"Chirp chirp~!"

"Chirp..."

The two tiny diamonds let out a stern cry at Diancie and even jumped up and tapped her on the head.

Diancie, on the other hand, crossed her arms and lowered her head as if admitting her mistake.

Even the tiny diamonds are so wary of dangerous humans, yet their companions inappropriately try to befriend humans, just to get a bowl of mushroom soup.

"Chirp~ (Humans are dangerous, you know)."

"Chirp chirp~ (That's why you got caught and ended up like this!)"

"Squeak... (I'm sorry...)"

Diancie looked like she knew she was wrong; despite being a rarer Pokémon, she was being lectured by the two little diamonds.

However, the little diamonds also drank plenty of cream of mushroom soup, and it was precisely because they were full that they had the strength to instigate Diancie.

Diancie blinked her teary eyes, looking like she had been wronged.

Xiao Zhi observed curiously from the side.

"Why does it feel like Diancie has a lower status?"

"It was probably the youngest small diamond before it was tested by the Rockets."

In Pokémon, older individuals often have more say, while those born later naturally have a lower status.

The slightly larger little diamond heard the human's words and turned around to let out a cry of agreement.

"Chirp~ (Yes, it's the smallest of us)."

"Just as I thought."

Little Diamond was somewhat surprised.

"Chirp chirp~ (Humans can actually understand us, we don't need to guess)."

"Ah, you mean this?"

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

Ye Luo touched the friendship bell earring she was wearing.

"I have some kind of device that allows me to hear what you're saying."

Moreover, judging from this result, it is estimated that not only is receiving speech more effective, but speaking is also becoming more understandable to Pokémon.

What Xiaozhi said to Xiao Suizuan was not as clear as what Ye Luo said.

"Chirp~ (I see, you look different from those people)."

"Every human being is different; remember that."

Little Diamond nodded in agreement.

Compared to the simple thoughts of Pokémon, human society is much more complex.

Xiao Zhi asked somewhat impatiently.

"I said, would you like to travel with me? Become our companion."

"Chirp~ (comrade)?"

"It means going to different places together to learn about the world."

"Chirp~ (This...world)"

The tiny diamonds looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Chirp~ (We have to go home)."

"Chirp chirp~ (I want to go back too)."

"What are the falling leaves saying?"

Xiao Zhi watched from the side. Although she could tell that they seemed reluctant to go outside, she still asked Ye Luo what the Pokémon had said.

Ye Luo translated.

"They said they wanted to go home."

The little diamonds nodded in agreement, and seeing their earnest eyes, Xiaozhi had no choice but to abandon her idea.

"Alright, after all, getting home is the most important thing. Do you know the way back?"

"Chirp~ (We'll find it)."

"I see. You guys should try your best not to get lost again."

Little Diamond nodded, while Ye Luo stood silently to the side, just watching.

Even without the translation earring, Pokémon can understand each other when humans talk to them; true understanding doesn't require any tools.

Xiao Zhi gave up on her plan to tame the little diamonds. The two little diamonds and Diancie bowed to thank the people who helped them and hopped and skipped into the depths of the cave.

Before she had gone far, Diancie turned around and jumped back.

"Chirp~ (Wait a minute)."

Having enjoyed such delicious food, Diancie decided to express her gratitude to the humans with sincerity, and began to gather her fairy power in her palms.

Pink dust gathered in her palm, and Diancie waved to Ye Luo.

"Huh? You want me to squat down?"

Diancie nodded, then placed a small diamond, gathered from fairy power, into Ye Luo's hand, turned, and ran away with her companions.

Xiao Zhi looked over curiously and asked.

"What did that Diancie give you?"

Ye Luo stood up and opened her arms, revealing nothing inside.

"They gave me nothing but air."

It initially felt like there was a hard stone inside, but when Ye Luo opened her hand, there was nothing left.

In the afternoon, Ye Luo and Xiao Zhi finally emerged from the cave entrance of Mount Tsukimi, and Cerulean City was right in front of them.

Xiaozhi and Charmander stretched at the same time, realizing it had been a long journey.

"It felt like I spent a week in a cave, but it wasn't actually that long."

Xiao Zhi walked for three days on mountain roads, and spent about two and a half days in the cave.

Moreover, he was traveling with Ye Luo along the way, and it was a bit of a pity that they didn't encounter any trainers who came to challenge them.

"I originally planned to let Charmeleon train through battles, but unfortunately it didn't encounter any opponents. However, it was still worthwhile."

Xiaozhi caught a Gastly, so challenging the Cerulean Gym shouldn't be too difficult now.

Although fighting the gym leader shouldn't be easy.

"Charmeleon, let's run to the Pokémon Center in Cerulean City for treatment."

"roar!"

Charmeleon didn't have many opportunities to train along the way, so it relied on physical training to get through the last leg of the journey.

Xiaozhi knew, of course, that this journey together was coming to an end, and she wouldn't say anything unnecessary; a simple farewell was appropriate.

"★≧▽^/ Bye-bye, Ye Luo, let's meet again next time when we're lucky."

Xiao Zhi blinked and then ran forward with Charmeleon.

"Little Knitter."

"Hmm? What's up?"

Hearing the greeting, Xiaozhi turned around in confusion, and a coin that had been tossed over fell to her side, which she caught reflexively.

It is a shiny gold coin with a beautiful coat of arms featuring olive branches and scales.

Ye Luo smiled calmly and said.

"Here you go, a parting gift. Good luck challenging the Cerulean Gym."

Xiaozhi looked at the gold coins in her hand, a bright smile gradually appearing on her face, and she thanked them loudly.

"Thank you!! I will cherish this opportunity, goodbye!"

Keep this lucky coin safe and happily run away with the Charmander.

Ye Luo watched the rookie trainer gradually disappear into the distance and said.

"I actually hoped she would sell it."

Ancient gold coins, being pure gold, are sold at the gold price in shops, with each coin fetching approximately 3 Alliance Coins.

Xiao Zhi helped out a little at Team Rocket's base, catching a Gastly that was trying to scare people. She didn't encounter any other trainers to battle along the way, so she didn't earn any travel expenses.

Ye Luo thought of giving her some pocket money to compensate for her travel expenses, but judging from Xiao Zhi's appearance, she didn't seem to be planning to sell.

"It's not impossible to use ancient gold coins as amulets, but they are still not as valuable as exchanging them for money."

Anyway, when she's short of money, Xiaozhi will probably exchange the gold coins for cash, so there's no need to worry about that; she's quite smart.

The lively female trainer was hurrying to Cerulean City, with a short stretch of man-made road ahead leading to the forest.

Ye Luo, accompanied by Meloetta and Umbreon, planned to walk slowly.
