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

At 5 a.m., the sun had not yet risen.

Ye Luo lay fast asleep on the hotel bed, her watery eyes sparkling as she stared at her trainer.

West Lion Hai Ren is always the first to wake up. The outdoor air is humid early in the morning, which is perfect for practicing singing.

Primarin is a solo singer Pokémon. It never slacks off in its daily singing practice, repeatedly mastering familiar melodies in order to perform at its best.

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage."

However, since they were in the city and it was still dark outside, singing at this time would inevitably be a bit noisy, so Primarina endured it and waited for his trainer to wake up before going to the park to practice together.

Ye Luo was still fast asleep, making rhythmic breathing sounds, like a natural melody.

"La...."

Just as it was about to speak, the Silmaril immediately covered its mouth with its webbed toes. Luckily, it almost started singing a lullaby to fit the mood. It had to hold back.

In general, sensitive and emotional creatures are easily swayed by their emotions, and if the atmosphere is good, a sirens will be unable to resist singing to lighten the mood.

The same is true of Meloeta; as the songs express the voice of the soul, the melodies contain a special power.

Meloetta was lying on her side, fast asleep, nestled against Ye Luo's chest, which annoyed West Lion Seaman.

It clearly wanted to lie on Ye Luo's chest and sleep.

Back when it was the Sea Lion, it clearly occupied that spot, but after evolving, it was no longer allowed to.

Primarina was a little nostalgic for the days before it evolved, when it didn't have to stay in a Poké Ball and could travel everywhere while being carried by Leaf.

After evolving, its fins and forefins became more powerful, making it unstoppable in the water, but it was still a bit troublesome to move on land.

It's not that I can't run fast, it's just a bit troublesome. My body is too big and my movements aren't graceful enough.

West Lion Hairen couldn't help but recall sad memories, and appeared somewhat lost.

A sensitive and delicate personality naturally has a drawback: it is easily swayed by the atmosphere, including its own thoughts.

Ye Luo felt very uncomfortable while sleeping, as if something was watching her. She forced herself to open her eyes and saw that the eyes of the West Lion Seaman were shimmering.

"Oh~ (You're awake)."

The sirens greeted him in a friendly manner, making a very soft bark so as not to wake the other companions in the house.

Umbreon was sleeping in bed, while Gardevoir was meditating in the corner of the room.

Ye Luo sat up and noticed that Meloetta had snuggled up to his chest to sleep again, seemingly unafraid of being rolled over and crushed.

After placing the sleeping Meloeta on the soft pillows, Ye Luo sat up from the bedside to change his clothes. Xi Shi Hai Ren took the initiative to come over, hug his shoulder, and rub his cheek against him.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so affectionate?"

"La~".

Ye Luo suddenly felt like her pet dog at home, who would nag to get up and go for a walk every morning. She guessed it wanted to go out and play.

However, it's only somewhat similar. Pokémon are much smarter than ordinary animals. Primarina wanted to go to the park to practice singing.

Before dawn, west Shi Hai Ren and I left the hotel and went to a nearby park, which was deserted.

The park in Hualan City has natural lakes, which are formed by seawater flowing through the estuary into the freshwater transition zone.

Singing by the sea helps one find their musicality, and Sisley Hai Ren sat on the riverbank singing with a melodious voice.

The singing echoed, and listening to the beautiful sounds, Ye Luo's nerves relaxed under the influence of the music.

With my eyes closed, I felt the emotions contained in the beautiful voice of Nishino.

It always has a deep feeling, like the sound of the sea from the depths of the ocean. It didn't have such a deep tone before.

Primarin has been singing every day since it was a Popplio, making it an extremely diligent Pokémon. If you wake up early, you can hear it singing almost every day.

Ye Luo's diligence was only moderate; in comparison, Meloetta was incredibly lazy, practically lying down.

However, even though Primarina practiced every day, the two Pokémon once competed in a melody contest, and the result was that they were evenly matched.

Meloeta is exceptionally gifted; her musical talent is innate. Even without effort, she can easily hum world-famous tunes.

From this perspective, it might be somewhat unfair to give the power that the West Lion Sea People can only obtain through day-to-day efforts.

The song of the West Lion Seaman gradually stopped, and Ye Luo slowly opened her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"La~".

The Sissihairen shook its head and then sang a different tune, its singing becoming much lighter and more cheerful than usual.

Under the control of sound, transparent bubbles rise in the water; this is how the Primus Seaman behaves when it enters its special state.

It is very happy now and wants to pass on this feeling to its trainer.

Effort, diligence, perseverance, and having loftier goals are all positive qualities that others perceive.

But the actual kernel is much simpler than that.

Primarina's initial reason was very pure and simple: her original purpose was simply to sing for her trainers.

"La~♪".

The first listener in his life, praised and encouraged, Qiuqiu the sea lion was initially very insecure about his voice, but Ye Luo listened to him the whole time.

It can now sing confidently, all thanks to the journey it has shared with its trainer.

The soaring emotions flowed through the sound, and the melody reached Ye Luo's heart. He remembered that he had heard this melody before.

That was a long time ago, when I was a sea lion and didn't know how to sing, always just howling.

Even the baby sea lions and white sea lions singing on the rocks disliked it back then, and looking back, they were its first listeners.

"La~".

After singing the last high note, the bubbles burst one by one, releasing water droplets, as if to give a final bow to this morning solo concert.

Singing out all the emotions in his heart, Sisley patted his chest, feeling refreshed.

"Is the West Lion Neptune a little troubled today?"

"Oh, (there aren't any left)."

"I see. But the last melody was unexpected and fantastic."

"Thank you."

With a smile, West Lion Seaman bowed politely to Ye Luo, but unable to contain his joy, he quickly abandoned his reserve and pounced on Ye Luo, rubbing his face against hers.

"Why is the West Lion Sea Man being so affectionate today?"

"Oh, don't worry about it."

Even without any items, Ye Luo could understand what the Pokémon was thinking after spending so much time together.

Indeed, just like a person might overthink when alone, Primarina can accumulate stress when it stays in its Poké Ball for too long.

Next time it sees its trainer, it should get its revenge. Being overly affectionate is normal. Today, it should just play with the animal properly.

The closer a Pokémon is to its trainer, the stronger its reaction will be if it is inadvertently distanced. That's why Ye Luo insists on taking care of only six Pokémon, plus Meloetta, since Meloetta eats and drinks outside every day and never feels any pressure.

Just as the Siberian Sea Serpent was rubbing against Ye Luo's neck, a ray of sunlight shone into its pupils.

The rising sun follows the contours of the lake, turning its surface into a shimmering gold.

"Speaking of which, we first met in this very setting."

At that time, we sat on the shore watching the sunrise. Ye Luo sat cross-legged, and Qiu Qiu, the sea lion, was just the right size to sit on his lap. He held her and together they witnessed the beginning of a new day of hope.

"La~".

A cheerful cry from Seirin brought him back to reality; Seirin was now taller than Ye Luo when he sat down.

The sirens curled their tail fins into a circle, allowing Ye Luo to sit on them, just like when she used to hold them.

Today, Primarina was particularly eager to get close to its trainer, which is actually not a bad thing.

Witnessing the sunrise with West Lion Seaman today, it's another energetic day.

However, Ye Luo hadn't anticipated something. Now that it was already daylight, trainers were gradually starting to jog with their Pokémon in the park. She saw a trainer being affectionately hugged by Primarina.

"Eh?! Sicilian? You're the champion, Lord Ye Luo! Please give me your autograph! A photo with you is also welcome."

Ye Luo chuckled twice. This was also why he rarely called out Primarina. If Primarina and he were seen together, his champion status would be immediately exposed and impossible to hide.

There were quite a few trainers jogging in the park, which quickly attracted a crowd, and Ye Luo was blocked from leaving.

Primarina really enjoys being the center of attention on stage, but Ye Luo can't stand the trainer's enthusiasm and wonders when Gardevoir will come to save her.

At this moment, on the first floor of the hotel, Gardevoir was communicating with the staff using telepathy.

[I'm checking out today. Can I pay with one gold coin?]

"gold?"

Gardevoir took out a Poké Ball, opened it, and summoned Saifuro.

[Pay.]

With a grin, Sai Fuhao casually placed three gold coins on the table. Gardevoir glanced at the waiter and spoke telepathically.

[Consider the extra as a tip, keep the change.]

The bewildered waiter saw the talking Gardevoir carrying a handbag leave with Sai Fuhao, without even seeing a trace of the trainer in between.

Pokémon can even pay? How smart do they have to be? The waiter thought for a moment, then shrugged and decided not to think about it anymore, looking at the three gold coins on the table.

"But how am I going to explain this to the manager? Since it's gold coins, should I go to the store and exchange them for cash first?"

The accommodation fee is 2000G per day. That customer stayed for 5 days, so it's worth 10,000 Alliance Coins.

When the waiter took the money to the store and returned to tell the manager, the manager almost fainted.

"You're saying that trainer's Pokémon gave him 90,000 coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 in cash?! He only asked for 10,000 for lodging."

"His Pokémon said the rest could be a tip."

The manager rubbed his forehead, feeling like he'd never heard of such a thing before—Pokémon that could talk.

After thinking it over, I decided to let the waiter handle the remaining 80,000 League Coins and not get involved in this matter.

.

Ye Luo had already bought all the supplies he needed before setting off to leave human civilization. He set off from the forest south of Cerulean City and headed towards Goldenrod City, crossing the Misty Forest along the way.

"Alright, let's go."

As Ye Luo walked along the pebbly path, her cell phone rang in her bag. She took out her Arceus phone and answered a call from a friend far away.

"Ye Luo! Where are you? I'm coming to play with you!"

"Where are you, Raya, south of Valhalla City?"

[Behind you.]

Ye Luo turned around, looked up at Latias with red wings and a smile on his face, and greeted him telepathically.

[haven't seen you for a long time.]
