My Pokémon changes freely

That night, Xingcai stroked the beautiful scale and finally fell asleep.

After many days of fighting, the Starry Pokémon were exhausted, and now they all fell asleep.

This time, it wasn’t the three Pokémon of Xingcai that were dreaming.

Instead, it was the Pope dolphin that didn't like Xingcai very much. It had a dream.

It dreamed of Xingcai's Tilei Miao Xiaozi, and the [Jet Punch] was still fresh in its memory.

But in this dream, the figure of Dire Miao Xiao Zi flashed by.

Then, a tall figure attracted the attention of the Pope dolphin. It could feel that the figure had a great relationship with it.

The Pope dolphin paddled forward gently and soon saw a blue silhouette.

The upright and majestic figure fascinated the Pope Dolphin. At this time, it also understood who the Pokémon in front of it was.

Its name is Dolphin Man, and it is an evolved form of itself.

Soon, it watched Dolphin Man roaming around the city, fighting crime everywhere.

When day comes, Dolphin Man will turn back into Pop Dolphin, which looks no different from an ordinary Pop Dolphin.

However, as long as a weak Pokémon calls for help, it will hide in a deserted corner, then show off its abdominal muscles and attack for justice as a Dolphin Man.

And its most important reliance is its [Jet Punch].

With the help of [Jet Punch], it can always arrive at the scene in time and teach those Pokémon that are behaving recklessly a lesson.

For Popo Dolphin, this is undoubtedly the Pokémon life it desires.

This is also the reason why it never recognized Xingcai. Because Xingcai's act of taming it was not a just act, but taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Even now, Pope the Dolphin still doesn't think it's okay to release it.

However, for Xingcai, she would not try to keep a Pokémon that didn't want to follow her.

Although Xingcai is very satisfied with its performance in the game, it will probably leave the team when it arrives in Xiamen.

But it’s a good thing this way. It can now learn from the Dolphin Man and protect more weak Pokémon!

Chapter 42: A Pokémon's Stage

The journey from Ninghua County to Xiamen is quite long, but Xingcai does not need to take out his Steelix.

Since Xingcai was traveling with Jiang Ya, there was no need for her to use Steelix to speed up the journey.

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Xingcai said a little stiffly to Jiang Ya's parents who were waiting for her and Jiang Ya at the train station.

Jiang Ya's parents didn't mind. They were quite friendly to the champion Xingcai.

"Miss Xingcai, my daughter often mentions you, the Pokémon trainer who ranked first in the high school entrance examination!" said the aunt happily.

The uncle beside him said excitedly: "We also watched the fight between you and Zhai Menghui. It was really handsome, that Tilei cat."

Xingcai felt a little embarrassed, but Dilemao Xiaozi in her arms raised her head proudly.

Obviously, Xiao Zi was very pleased with the praise from the two adults.

Entering the train station, because Xingcai was going to Xiamen with two adults, she did not use the trainer's special channel, but took the train.

On the train, two young trainers sat in a row, each holding their own Pokémon in their arms.

Because there was not enough space on the train, Shark Chima and Nine-Tailed Fox were not released.

Xingcai was holding Dilemiao and Xiaozi in her arms, while Jiang Ya was holding Butubo.

Xiao Zi didn't react to Butubo. Although she was comforted by Xingcai, Xiao Zi was still a little sad that she couldn't evolve to her final form.

Unlike the slightly aloof Xiao Zi, Butubo showed friendliness the first time he saw Xiao Zi.

However, Xiao Zi's ignoring it made it feel a little sad, so it lay in Jiang Ya's arms.

Xingcai gave an awkward smile, but Jiang Ya didn't mind.

She touched her own dog's head and comforted the cute mouse.

"I always feel that the gap between me and you excellent trainers is really huge." Jiang Ya began to say discouraging words, but even at this time, she still had a smile on her face.

Xingcai consoled him, "It's just a small gap. I'm sure you'll be able to catch up in the future."

In fact, Xingcai actually has some suggestions for Jiang Ya’s Pokémon team.

After a slight hesitation, Xingcai suddenly said to Jiang Ya: "Um, Jiang Ya, can you let me see your Pokémon team?"

Jiang Ya didn't hesitate at all. She nodded and handed her trainer information form to Xingcai.

"Scorching Crocodile, Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, Butcher, Skilled Blacksmith and Electric Belly Frog..." The first word that popped into Xingcai's mind when he looked at this group was insufficient firepower.

Although, the Bone Patterned Crocodile has extremely strong individual combat capabilities, it is an absolutely strong mid-speed special attacker when combined with its leftovers and simple characteristics.

But in fact, Xingcai knew very well that the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile had no match in this team.

Whether it is this Ice Ninetails with Snow Hidden Characteristics, or the future electric fighting professional Babutu, they are not qualified Pokémon that can provide a stage for Crocodile.

This is especially true for the Artificer. Her evolved form, the Giant Forge, possesses an exclusive steel-type skill with a power of up to 160, but the Giant Forge's own physical attack capability is not outstanding.

After a brief summary, Xingcai discovered that Jiang Ya's Pokémon could not cooperate with each other.

The real key issue is that there is no starting Pokémon.

What this means is that there is no single Pokémon that can set the stage for all Pokémon.

All Xingcai could think of was to create a creature that could serve both sunny and rainy days, and could serve Crocodile and two electric Pokémon at the same time.

Among them, Ice Ninetales can use the skill [Pray for Rain], and can be regarded as a Pokémon that can create an environment for Butefoot and Frog.

However, such enhancement alone is not enough to make Jiang Ya's team complete.

Jiangya's team still lacks a reliable defensive Pokémon.

Xingcai quickly gave her advice to Jiang Ya, but she still reminded her: "If you want to change your Pokémon lineup in the future, you can ask me to give you some advice then."

"However, I don't recommend that you change Pokémon just for the sake of Pokémon battles. Each of them is there to fight with you and become your reliable helper, so they will follow you."

Similarly, Xingcai touched the Poké Ball containing the Dolphin. It seemed that she was destined to have no chance of having this Pokémon.

Jiang Ya didn't know what was going on with Xingcai, but she took Xingcai's suggestions very seriously.

Even though her five Pokémon are not very powerful in terms of the system, she is still willing to take them to challenge the road to becoming a champion that all Pokémon trainers must take.

However, she was also quite curious about Xingcai's system theory.

Soon, Xingcai began to talk about this theory.

"First of all, this theory is mainly based on one thing, that is, all Pokémon have their own stage." Xingcai said seriously, "Heroes have their own stage, so Pokémon also need a stage to show themselves."

"Based on this, I basically don't think about the ability of an individual Pokémon, but rather how to build a stage for this Pokémon to fully exert its strength."

Xingcai then pointed to the Butubo in Jiang Ya's arms, "Let me give you a simple example. Butubo's evolved form, Babubo, is a very good physical attacker."

"But at this point, we need to look at the characteristics of the Babu groundhog."

"Natural recovery and power storage characteristics cannot be considered traditional physical attackers. If it is Iron Fist, then Babu Tubo needs to focus on learning skills with the word "fist" in the entry to become the main physical attacker."

"Let's not talk about this extreme condition. Under most conditions, Babu Tubo is in a very special position."

"First, let's talk about the current situation of your Butudipul, Jiang Ya. Its characteristic should be to store electricity, right?"

Jiang Ya nodded, her eyes revealing curiosity as she looked at Xingcai.

Xingcai is quite satisfied with this. It is natural to feel satisfied when someone listens to what you say.

She continued, "The Electricity Storage characteristic itself is basically a specialized characteristic for facing Electric-type Pokémon, so in fact, for Buttercup, its teammates can choose many Pokémon that are weakly Electric."

"In this way, even if Butubo doesn't look strong, he can still protect his teammates."

Hearing Xingcai's words, Butubo also barked happily. It seemed that it was barking towards Xiaozi, as if to say that it was also very powerful.

Xiao Zi's mouth twitched as he lay in Xingcai's arms. He knew, of course, that his master was only analyzing the responsibilities of Pokémon in the team for the girl in front of him.

After listening to Xing Cai's words, Jiang Ya also raised a question: "These are all advantages in terms of electrical properties, right? Then can't Babu Tubo be used as the main force in the battle?"

Chapter 43: The Power of Trainers

Xingcai quickly answered Jiang Ya's question: "Of course there are offensive methods. If a Pokémon cannot attack and defeat its opponent, it would be too sad for the Pokémon itself."

"Babuda has a one-time skill, [Lightning Double Click]. After using this skill, Babuda will actually temporarily lose the bonus of the Electricity type."

"Because the cost is so high, this move is actually very powerful. At the same time, Babu Tubo also has fighting attributes, and among the fighting skills, there is also a very powerful skill like [Close Combat]."

"These skills can serve as Babu Tubo's trump card to finish off his opponent, and they can also allow Babu Tubo to show his aggressiveness."

Jiang Ya listened carefully. "In this case, if we build a team around Babudoudou, wouldn't it limit the performance of other Pokémon?"

"That's why I said this is based on the opinion of a trainer who loves a particular Pokémon." Xingcai said with a smile, "Similarly, since you have many Pokémon that you like and are willing to follow you, you naturally have to think about what they are good at and what they are not good at."

"The strength of a trainer has never been about how many Pokémon he can capture. Even if he can collect all the Pokémon in the world and obtain their Pokémon Guides, but cannot understand the characteristics and features of each Pokémon, he cannot become a truly qualified trainer."

"Only when you have established a deep enough bond with Pokémon, understand the strengths of Pokémon, understand your own strengths, connect the entire team, and allow each Pokémon in the team to play its own role and show its strength, can you become a truly powerful trainer."

Xingcai never thought that Pokémon had to rely on trainers. Instead, it was the trainers who had to rely on Pokémon to realize their own value.

Just because Pokémon are innocent, you can't deceive them or even forcefully control them.

What trainers can do is to connect different Pokémon together, take advantage of their strengths and overcome their weaknesses, so that a team composed of different Pokémon can do things that a single Pokémon cannot do.

Although, many times, when facing legendary Pokémon or powerful opponents, trainers will still choose to fight with only one Pokémon, but that is also because both Pokémon and trainers are very proud.

This kind of pride is built on a mutual basis and is proof that the trainer and Pokémon recognize and trust each other.

Therefore, many powerful trainers are very crazy.

The bond between them and Pokémon is deep, and they naturally understand the power that such trust and bond can bring.

Jiang Ya nodded thoughtfully, and she couldn't help but look at the Tilei cat in Xingcai's arms. It should be Xingcai's favorite, right?

For Xingcai, this is indeed the case. Whether it is Tanbao or Shark Chima, Xingcai is philanthropic towards Pokémon, but compared with Xiao Zi, there is still a little difference.

Just like other Pokémon trainers, their feelings for their first Pokémon are undoubtedly deeper than those for other Pokémon.

This is not because they don't love other Pokémon, but because the starter Pokémon have different meanings to them.

Jiang Ya didn't say anything else. She just touched the Butubo in her arms. As expected, she still had a long way to go before becoming a qualified trainer.

The train started slowly, and Xingcai soon saw many baby Pokémon around their trainers.

Xingcai felt a kind of spiritual healing, and she felt extremely satisfied with the scene of Pokémon and humans getting along in harmony.

Sitting on the train, watching the scenery outside the window begin to change, Xingcai relaxed his mind.

In another place, Zhai Mengwei evacuated from the secret realm in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Standing next to her was her Blue Flame Blade Ghost.

In her hand, she also held a Poké Ball that was mainly orange and white, with a white S mark on it.

"I never thought that we actually solved a secret realm." Zhai Mengwei was held in the arms of the Cang Yan Blade Ghost. Although she was covered in volcanic ash and other dust, and her clothes were torn in many places, she knew very well that it was all worth it.

And the moment she left the secret realm, Zhai Mengwei received the message.

Inside was a photo of Xingcai winning the championship, and a message from Zhai Menghui, her troublesome sister.

"Speaking of which, we had an unexpected gain on this trip to the secret realm." Zhai Mengwei took out an exquisite little armor with a smile.

It was an orange-yellow armor, the evolution item of Tan-sama.

Even though my sister is imitating me, her Tan-sama is obviously special attack oriented, so this armor of celebration is very important.

Although she often has unpleasant arguments with her own sister, she is still her own sister after all, so Zhai Mengwei naturally has to take care of her own sister.

What's more, the girl just lost the competition and must need some comfort. If I give her a consolation prize now, she will definitely be very happy, right?

Thinking of this, Zhai Mengwei immediately opened her communication and started reading the message from her sister.

"Sister, I have benefited a lot from this competition."

The first sentence made Zhai Mengwei quite satisfied. She could see her sister learning and growing, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

But then, Zhai Mengwei's expression became subtle.

"Sister, I had a fight with Xingcai today. I suddenly realized that I still have a long way to go before becoming an excellent trainer. So I won't go home for the Spring Festival this year."

No, you don’t have to stay home if you want to exercise!!!

Zhai Mengwei frowned for a moment. She was very distressed that her sister did not come home.

Although the Zhai family is not a famous or wealthy family, the fact that they can bring the initial Pokémon home so early shows that they still have some power.

Such a family naturally cares a lot about family gatherings. It is somewhat bad that Zhai Menghui is not coming back.
