Pokémon: Going Against the Current

"How did you know? Were you peeking at us just now?"

Wang Xinlin stared at Mu Yang, she hated being peeped by others.

"It's just intuition."

Mu Yang shook his head helplessly and said to her calmly.

"Since you didn't pass the elimination round, what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue traveling? Or do you want to challenge the gym in the City of Sun and Moon?"

After answering Wang Xinlin's question, Mu Yang asked them again.

"We? I plan to watch the Sun and Moon Competition first, and then challenge the gyms in the City of Sun and Moon. After all, all the gyms are closed now because of the Sun and Moon Youth Competition."

Seeing her elder brother asking herself, Mu Qingyun quickly answered.

"Is that so?"

After hearing Mu Qingyun's words, Mu Yang nodded gently.

"Hello, this is the meal you ordered."

At this moment, the meals ordered by Mu Qingyun and the others were delivered.

"OK, thanks."

Mu Qingyun took the food from the waiter, thanked him, and placed it in front of herself and Wang Xinlin.

"You're welcome, sir. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

"Ok."

After hearing Mu Qingyun's words, the waiter left quickly.

"Now that the food is here, let's have lunch first. We'll talk about anything later."

After Mu Yang saw that the food ordered by Mu Qingyun and others were also served, Mu Yang picked up the chopsticks on the table again.

……

At night, Mu Yang came to the balcony of the hotel and stared up at the stars. All of Muyang's elves were released at this moment. Bibi Bird and Flying Mantis stayed quietly behind him, accompanying him to look at the beautiful starry sky in the sky. Stinky Flower was still in his arms, quietly looking at the stars in the sky with a strange look in his eyes. Lalulas, on the other hand, was a little sleepy because she was just born, so she sat on his shoulder and fell asleep peacefully.

Looking at the vast starry sky, Mu Yang's heart was as calm as the windless water at this moment.

"This is the best of times and the worst of times. We have nothing, but we are standing tall."

……

"Brother, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't get a good seat."

Early the next morning, Mu Qingyun hurried to the hotel where Mu Yang lived, only to find that Mu Yang was no longer there.

"Boss, where is the person living in that room?"

After looking around and finding no one from Mu Yang, Mu Qingyun asked the hotel owner.

"The guest in that room, he left more than an hour ago. He has been living here for half a month, and he goes out at that time every day."

The boss said to Mu Qingyun enthusiastically.

"Then do you know where he went?"

Mu Qingyun then asked the hotel owner.

"Well... I don't know if the young man wants to get a room."

The hotel owner frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't find the answer, but he still didn't forget his old profession and seized the opportunity to sell it to Mu Qingyun.

"Uh... no need for that, thank you." Think twice

After saying that, Mu Qingyun turned around and left here.

"Hey, young man, don't run away, I'll give you a % discount."

Seeing that Mu Qingyun was leaving, the hotel owner quickly persuaded him to stay, and even offered him a % discount.

However, Mu Qingyun is a trainer in the alliance and can stay in the Pokémon's heart for free, so he is destined to not use his room.

……

"How's it going? Why didn't Brother Mu Yang come out with you?"

Wang Xinlin, who stayed outside, saw Mu Qingyun coming out alone, and asked him with some confusion.

"Brother left early. I heard the hotel owner said he left more than an hour ago."

Mu Qingyun shrugged and replied to Wang Xinlin helplessly.

"No way, we got up so early today."

Wang Xinlin covered her mouth and said with some surprise.

"That's it. The hotel owner also said that my eldest brother has been living here for half a month and has gone out so early every day."

Mu Qingyun then said to Wang Xinlin.

"Going out so early, and doing so every day, then the only thing he does is..."

After Wang Xinlin analyzed it, she seemed to understand where Mu Yang had gone.

"It's probably what you thought."

Mu Qingyun smiled bitterly and said to Wang Xinlin, are we really that far apart from eldest brother?

……

"Lalu, lalu~"

In a certain training ground, Mu Yang was playing happily with La Lulas.

"Lalulas, are you happy?"

Mu Yang asked Lalu Lasi in front of him.

"La lu la lu ~"

La Lulas called out to Muyang very happily.

Looking at La Lulas's sweet little face, Mu Yang smiled slightly and his mood became happy.

Since Lalulas was just born, her body has not yet fully grown, so she cannot train for the time being. Based on Lalu Lasi's current situation, Lalu Lasi should be able to carry out light training in a month or two. If Lalu Lasi is to be able to carry out normal training, it will take at least a year and a half. Only during her time After passing the basic stage, Mu Yang dared to really train her, and if she wanted to have combat power, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.

This is the reason why most civilians are unwilling to raise elves from eggs. The combat effectiveness is formed too late. Even if they are raised from eggs, they will only cultivate insect-type elves like the giant needle wasp.

Because they go through this stage very quickly, it usually only takes a month to evolve into the final evolutionary form. The life span of the insect type is not very long. If this stage is longer, it will be really difficult for them to survive. The world survives.

When Mu Yang met Bibi Bird, he had already passed the stage of laying the foundation. When Mu Yang conquered the Walking Grass, she had basically passed the stage of laying the foundation, not to mention the Flying Mantis.

Of course, cultivating from eggs is not without its advantages, that is, you can completely control the adverse factors and maximize the potential of the elf. This kind of thing is not visible in the early stage, but it will be extremely obvious in the later stage. If the foundation is not laid well in the early stage, even if you spend several times or even ten times the resources and efforts later, you may not be able to make up for it.

The most typical case is Bibi Niao. Although Mu Yang is now trying his best to make up for his previously consumed potential, some of it is still difficult to make up. You may not feel anything now, but if Bibi Niao breaks through to the King of Heaven, the race With his disadvantages and loss of potential, it will be difficult for him to improve his level.

After playing with Mu Yang for a while, La Lulas soon felt sleepy and ran to Mu Yang's arms and fell asleep. After Lalulas fell asleep, Mu Yang took her elf ball back.

"It's almost time."

Then Mu Yang looked at the time and found that it was already getting late, so he quickly asked Bibi Niao and the others to stop training, and fed them some energy cubes to replenish their energy consumption.

After Bibi Bird and the others had almost recovered their physical strength, they took back their Poké Balls and walked straight towards the Sun-Moon Battlefield, where the most exciting part of the Sun-Moon Youth Competition was about to begin.
