What is an elf trainer?

Perhaps it was because the light in Makoto's eyes shone too much that Uncle Xia, who didn't know what he was talking about with Zhou Yuan, turned his attention to her again.

After looking at Makoto up and down, especially at the Poké Ball hanging on her waist with the platypus Q-version head on it, Xia Bo asked Zhou Yuan:

"This little girl...is your sister?"

Hearing Xia Bo's question, Zhou Yuan was speechless for a moment, because he didn't know what words and what kind of expression to use to face Xia Bo's question.

The reason for this situation is also very simple. After all, Makoto was picked up by Zhou Yuan from Team Rocket's research institute. Although Amu, who was a researcher of Team Rocket at the time, was kinder to Makoto, this cannot cover up the fact that Team Rocket is an elf entity. The ugly face of the experiment, and Xia Bo was the former doctor of the Rockets, and had been a colleague for a period of time with Dr. Nanbo, who was in charge of the Mewtwo Project.

Although Xia Bo has not done any experiments that are quite contrary to humanism in a strict sense, the so-called Oxel for one day is Oxel for the rest of his life... No, as the saying goes, he is a Rocket for one day, even if he quits later, it will be difficult to get rid of it for the rest of his life. The mark left by the Rockets organization.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yuan chose to be a human being and did not mention the Rockets, but just said:

"I picked this little girl up on the road. I saw that she felt a little pitiful when she was alone, so I took her with me. She has the talent to be a trainer and a breeder. Recently, under my guidance, her abilities in both aspects have improved. Great progress has been made.”

After hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Xia Bo, who was just looking for a random topic because he didn't want the situation to be too embarrassing, also became interested and looked at Makoto with interest.

Although the old man was just looking at him out of curiosity, Makoto, who had not seen a stranger for a long time, was somewhat timid. After all, the old man wearing sunglasses looked a bit fierce.

Seemingly realizing that he had scared the little girl, Xia Bo also smiled coquettishly, touched his bald head and asked:

"Then what are your plans later? Will you take her with you when you travel to other areas?"

"No, of course not. Even an eagle will always spread its wings and fly one day, not to mention that she is still an independent person."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan paused for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly and continued:

"Actually, I have taught her enough recently. Even if she can learn more, it will not be a short time. In fact, today's challenge to the gym is the last lesson for her, and it will be demonstrated through actual battles. Fire-type elves and water-type elves are the two most commonly used and practical tactics in battle.”

After listening to Zhou Yuan's words, Xia Bo's face, which had improved a bit, turned gloomy again. He was beaten violently, and the elf was directly sent to the hospital to feel sad. However, Zhou Yuan behaved in front of him in a very ungrateful manner. Repeatedly mentioning that this battle is just a guidance battle is similar to repeatedly whipping Xia Bo's body.

However, Xia Bo's years of life were not in vain. He quickly adjusted his mentality and turned around to express his views on the battle just now.

"One thing to say, young man, you are very strong, so I won't mention tactics. After all, there are almost no tactics in this battle. As you said, all you use are the basic fighting methods corresponding to the attributes. More of them are just in the battle. Leave a deep impression on this little girl."

"Of course, you let Swampert charge up his energy in the Poké Ball to pray for rain, and you also used a fake move to deceive Salamanda and me, so that the sunny day that could have replaced the rainy day was cancelled, and you took advantage of this Chance completed the super evolution.”

"The connection between this series of commands and actions is quite smooth. It can't be learned optically. It requires at least many battles, and the trainer himself has to gain experience after the war. Only in the long run can he be so good. Instruct."

After saying that, Xia Bo turned his attention to Makoto again and said in a very kind and authentic tone:

"Little girl, the basic things your brother learned during his previous battles are indeed worth learning, but there are some distinctively personal command methods that are not necessary to learn. These things can only be summed up through your own experience in battles and are the most suitable for you. of."

Makoto turned to look at Zhou Yuan and found that he was also nodding his head, quite agreeing with Xia Bo's words. Then he turned back and said sweetly to Xia Bo:

"Thank you, Grandpa Xia~~~"

For no reason, Xia Bo wanted to raise his hands and cover his chest helplessly. He didn't expect to be called grandpa at his age.

Just when Xia Bo was a little disillusioned, the light in the emergency room turned from red to green, and then the door slowly opened with a sliding sound, and three Miss Joy in white coats took turns walking out.

Seeing this scene, Xia Bo's eyes lit up, and he decisively abandoned Zhou Yuan and the others, walked up quickly and asked:

"Miss Joy, how is the situation of the Platypus?"

The older Joey took off his gloves and stuffed them into the pocket of his white coat while speaking slowly:

"After our treatment, the platypus is now in stable condition. This is also due to its relatively good physical fitness and its ability to sustain it for such a long time, but..."

As she spoke, Miss Joy changed the subject and became somewhat meaningful.

"But what?"

Xia Bo asked eagerly. After all, the Platypus was the first elf he had subdued. It had been with him for so many years. In his opinion, it was no different from his family. What if Joey's "but" was followed by something bad? If the news comes, Xia Bo doesn't know if he can hold on. He might turn around and kill Zhou Yuan when the time comes.

Understanding Xia Bo's urgency, Joey didn't delay much, but spoke very smoothly:

“Mr. ?”

Hearing Miss Joy's question, Xia Bo's face turned blue and white. It was obvious that Joy had poked him in a painful spot.

Of course, losing to a challenger is not a shameful thing, so after a brief moment of silence, Xia Bo still spoke, and by the way, he turned sideways, revealing Zhou Yuan standing behind him.

"This is the boy who came to challenge my gym today. He is quite strong. The duck-billed Salamander was defeated by his elves."

Although he had seen Zhou Yuan's prominent handsome face when he walked out of the operating room, Joey thought he was a trainer who came to restore his elf's condition and did not kill him or Xia Bo's elf. The platypus is associated with it.

After all, Zhou Yuan still looks too young. Even the Kanto Alliance has special cases of strong young people, but those are special cases after all, and the number is still quite small.

Joey never expected to see such a monster trainer with his own eyes. After looking at Zhou Yuan for a few times with a little surprise, he looked at Makoto who was hiding behind him, and then nodded to the two of them with a smile.

"Welcome to Honglian Town, both of you."
