A small nebula falls from the sky at the beginning and joins the chat group

"no."

Lillie shook her head and recounted the Ditto's experience.

"This child was discovered in the wilds of Alola by the staff of Aether Paradise last year."

"It looks like it drifted here from another area, so there are no other of its kind around, and no trainer to take care of it."

"At that time, it transformed into a Rattata (Alola's form) and blended in with the group. However, because the transformation of its eyes was incomplete, it was discovered and attacked by the group, seriously injured."

"It was the staff of Aether Paradise who dispersed the little Rattatas and brought them back for treatment."

Bai Ye probably knows the reason.

Alola's Rattata also has a regional form.

And because of the influence of the regional environment, in addition to the general type, it also has evil attributes.

There's no need to mention the temper of evil-type Pokémon.

It's completely understandable that Ditto was beaten up after trying to blend in but failed.

"Although it has no trainer, its only skill, [Transformation], cannot transform its eyes due to its physical defects."

"Also, due to the flaws in the [Transformation] skill, some of its simulated moves will be unable to be performed after it transforms."

"It can be said that even among the Ditto clan, it is the least popular one."

"That's why none of the Alola trainers who came to the Aether Paradise rescue base to choose a Pokémon to adopt were willing to adopt it."

"It's also unwilling to be adopted by ordinary Alola residents who want to help them with their daily lives, despite its Transformation flaws."

"Even if it has to help work in Ether Paradise to get nutritious food, it will stay and wait for a trainer who can take it to battle."

"Such a Ditto."

"Mr. Bai Ye, do you mind?"

The reason why Lillie said this was not because she cared about Ditto's flaws, but because she hoped Bai Ye would not choose it.

On the contrary, it is because I feel pity for the Ditto's experience and hope that it can meet a trainer who can truly accept it and is suitable for it.

Pointing out its flaws in such detail is also in the hope that Bai Ye can see the problems of this Ditto clearly and then decide whether to accept it.

Otherwise, if Ditto is accepted and then rejected, it will be a big blow to Ditto itself.

Bai Ye with small eyes and Bai Ye himself looked at each other.

After hearing this, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and poked "himself".

The next moment, the whites of Ditto's eyes suddenly shrank and turned back into its original form, like a ball of light purple mud.

Bai Ye tried to poke its body.

Ditto: [Swaying~]

That elastic body feels very soft to the touch.

And Ditto doesn't seem to be resisting Bai Ye at all.

Bai Ye picked it up and looked at Liliae, who had a slightly frowned face and a worried expression, and chuckled.

"I'm just not good at using [Transformation], there will be a way to solve it."

"The main thing is that this guy and I get along really well. This feeling is just like compatibility."

"So I'm willing to capture it and make it my Pokémon."

He took out a luxurious ball and placed it in front of Ditto.

"Will you be my Pokémon? Ditto."

"After you become my partner, I will help you solve your physical problems and make you the strongest Ditto."

"A truly strong person won't give up on the road ahead just because of a congenital defect in his body. You think so too, don't you?"

Bai Ye could see it just from the exquisite body details after Ditto's transformation.

Even though it has congenital deficiencies, this Ditto has never given up on honing its skills.

In his eyes.

The potential of a Pokémon, its innate strength, is not that important.

Because he has enough confidence to make the Pokémon he cultivates grow to a level comparable to or even surpass the legendary ones.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only had a young Kiras by his side until now, and wouldn't have taken the initiative to explore and capture other powerful Pokémon or mythical beasts in Alola.

Even with the three ultimate beasts that could rival the legends, he had no urgent desire to subdue them.

He believes that only a truly strong will and mind can control the most powerful force.

As for defects or something.

Let him, the trainer, figure out a solution!

Ditto's big eyes are emitting a "bulingbuling" luster at this moment.

The next moment, its slime-like body touched the luxurious ball in front of it, and the entire Pokémon turned into a ray of light and was retracted into it.

When he was released by Bai Ye again.

Little Kiras on the side waved his little hands to celebrate the addition of the new member.

Young Kiras is very happy about the addition of Ditto!

at last!

It can be the big brother!

As for the small nebula that followed Bai Ye first.

Young Kiras said he would never admit that the naive guy was the boss of the team.

After all, how can a mascot that can only act cute compare to it, the current top fighter in the team.

Well, the most powerful Pokémon in the team, excluding the trainer!

Wait until little Xingyun wakes up from his sleep.

Young Kiras must compete with it to determine the throne of the team!

"Looks like Gobo is very welcoming to you, Ditto."

Bai Ye rubbed the purple mud in his hands and thought for a while.

"By the way, I haven't given you a name yet."

Ditto: [bulingbuling]

Although it seems that there is a defect in the eye area, it also makes its eyes darker and brighter than those of its fellow Ditto.

"I'll just call you [Vientiane]!"

"One day, you will become the strongest Ditto worthy of this name!"

Ditto: [bulingbuling]

It seems like it likes this name very much.

"Mr. Bai Ye is truly a man worthy of admiration."

Liliae, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but whisper.

"Hmm? Did you say anything, Lillie?"

Because Bai Ye was teasing Ditto, he didn't hear Lillie's super quiet mumbling to herself.

Even if he has super hearing, he will not be able to hear distant sounds or overly subtle sounds unless he actively uses it.

When he asked this question, Liliae was so frightened that she grabbed the hem of her skirt at a loss.

"No, it's nothing!"

"Anyway, I'm going to take care of business first, Mr. Bai Ye!"

Then he trotted away as if escaping.

"pat-"

The door is closed.

In the room, Bai Ye, young Kiras and Ditto were left staring at each other silently.

Chapter 84: Talent of Hard Work

"Now that Lillie's gone, let's get started!"

The silent atmosphere did not last long.

Bai Ye looked at the two Pokémon that had nothing to do and suggested a "team battle".

This can also be regarded as a test of Ditto's "Vientiane" ability.

After all, even if it only knows one skill, [Transformation], Bai Ye could sense its careful consideration of this skill through its small eyes, "Bai Ye" just now.

But proficiency is proficiency, and real combat is real combat, they cannot be lumped together.

Upon hearing that there was going to be an "internal team war", the young Kiras, who had just been excited, suddenly changed his expression, and his little red eyes revealed a fiery fighting spirit.

It patted its neck with its short little hands (it wanted to pat its chest, but couldn't reach it), indicating that as a good big brother, it would teach the newcomer what "fighting" is.

Ditto just stayed quietly in Bai Ye's hand, with a dazed look in its big eyes.

Bai Ye really wanted to complain to Gebao, "You've only fought a few battles, and I, the trainer, fought in all the previous battles myself."

But considering that I had to maintain my brother's dignity in front of the new team members, I could only pat its head and say "Be careful next time!"

Gebao understood instantly and nodded seriously.

I get it. Next time I have to show off behind my trainer's back.

A few minutes later.

The entrance to the indoor battle area of ​​Ether Paradise.

After the suction cup puppet brought Bai Ye and the two little ones here, he swiped the card to open the door and made a "come in" gesture very politely.

"Thank you, Suction Cup Golem."

Bai Ye thanked them and took the two little ones into the battlefield.

Aether Paradise is a large organization in Alola.

All the tasks undertaken require employees to have strong trainer skills.

After all, in the process of rescuing Pokémon, it is common to encounter powerful Pokémon in the wild or poachers.

Even to deal with the Skeleton Team, you need strength.

Therefore, combat training is also a necessary "activity" within the Ether Paradise.

According to the Suction Cup Golem, a large number of Ether Paradise employees often gathered here to fight.

As for why Bai Ye can understand the words of Pokémon other than his own cubs.

In fact, he didn't understand.

It's just that this suction cup puppet is quite talented in "pantomime" performance.

This information was presented to him vividly through performance.

This way of narration made Bai Ye exclaim "awesome".

In this world, Pokémon are not only good at fighting, they are also intelligent beings on par with humans.

In addition to fighting, they also each have their own skills.

This is why some Pokémon have entered the medical field, sports events, or showbiz.

"There are so many trees, and this is... a cave?"

As Bai Ye looked around, he saw a lush green scene, and above his head, a ring of rocks formed an opening facing the sky.

The suction cup puppet took the controlled instrument and displayed the relevant information on the tablet to Bai Ye.

This battle venue is called [Lush Cave].

It is a battle venue modeled after a trial site in the north of Melemele Island in Alola.
