Pokémon that goes with the flow

"The Hualan Gym was left to us by our parents, but unfortunately, the three of us sisters don't have the talent to be trainers, and the gym is on the verge of bankruptcy because of this."

Under Hoshino's questioning, Sakura explained the reason why the three sisters insisted on being gym trainers even though they didn't like Pokémon battles.

"Originally, we all wanted to give up. After all, we are really not suitable to be trainers, but Xiaoxia is determined to restore the glory of Hualan Gym."

"But Xiaoxia does have the talent to become a trainer, so the three of us sisters decided to run the Hualan Gym before Xiaoxia comes back, so that she can go out and pursue her dream with peace of mind."

At this point, the three sisters looked at each other and smiled, and Mudan continued.

"That's right! When Xiaoxia comes back, our three beautiful sisters will go to the world to hold water ballet performances, so if Xiaoxia doesn't become a powerful trainer when she comes back, I won't let her go!"

Peony showed a smirk on her face, and threatened with eagerness. Acorus beside her also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, we spent our beautiful time running the gym. When she comes back, it will be our turn to chase our dreams."

The three sisters chatted and laughed about their fourth sister. Although they despised her, they could still feel their concern and confidence in their fourth sister from their words.

Perhaps thinking that Hoshino and Xiao Ming were still there, the three sisters stopped chatting for a short time and turned to look at Hoshino and Xiao Ming.

"All in all, this is the situation, so I'm sorry, we really can't give you the wonderful gym competition you imagined. After all, we only have the level of one badge at most."

"It doesn't matter. After all, this is my first time to challenge the gym, so that's enough."

After listening to the three sisters' stories, Xiao Ming understood them and no longer cared about the gym competition.

"When the new gym leader comes back, I will challenge the Cerulean Gym again, right, Mountain Rat."

"A~!"

Seeing that one person and one mouse had regained their vitality, the three sisters were relieved and laughed softly. Seeing this harmonious scene, Hoshino couldn't help but sigh.

"It's great that everything is okay anyway, right Scorpio."

"Scorpion~!"

"Although I always say that I can't understand Pokémon trainers, in fact, everything they do is quite similar, right? Scorpio."

"Scorpion~Scorpion~!"

Scorpio nodded, agreeing with Hoshino's words. The conversation between one person and one scorpion attracted the attention of Peony.

"What are you talking about? Why are we similar to Pokémon trainers?"

Mudan asked with some confusion. Everyone present was also attracted by Mudan's words and focused their attention on Hoshino.

"Ah, what I mean is, Miss Peony, didn't you say before that you couldn't understand Xiao Ming letting ground-type Pokémon fight in the water? In my opinion, Miss Peony, you are the same. You are obviously not suitable to be a gym owner but you still come to be a gym owner. host."

After a slight pause, Hoshino reorganized his words.

"That is to say, both Xiao Ming and Miss Peony, you are doing things that you are not good at for a certain goal. Xiao Ming has been training in the water in order to pursue his dream of becoming the strongest Pokémon partner with Pangolin. Miss Mudan, in order to protect your sister’s dream, you serve as gym trainers that you are not good at.”

Having said this, Hoshino blushed a little and scratched his cheek shyly.

"It may be inappropriate to say this, but I feel that you are all amazing, working so hard for your own or other people's dreams."

......

After finishing speaking, the scene fell into silence. Just when Hoshino thought he had said something wrong, the three sisters Xiao Ming and Hua Lan all laughed in unison. Xiao Ming walked directly to Hoshino and slapped Hoshino's shoulder hard with his hand.

"Haha~, thank you so much, Xiaoxing, you are the first person to understand me so well, thank you so much!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ming actually shed tears of excitement, and the pangolin was also moved to tears.

"Hey~, ever since we became gym trainers, some people have been dissatisfied with us. After all, we really didn't do a good job as gym trainers."

Sakura also looked at Hoshino very seriously, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled very calmly.

"We have doubted whether what we did was right many times, but when we thought about Xiaoxia, we persisted. Now that we hear someone recognizing us, we finally feel that we have done nothing wrong."

"Hey~hey~, thank you, Xiaoxing. It's a pity that you are not a girl, Xiaoxing, otherwise I would have wanted you to perform water ballet with us."

"That's right, after all, Xiaoxing is so cute, we can make our debut as the four beautiful sisters of Hua Lan."

Peony and Iris talked to each other and laughed happily.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxing, what is your dream?"

Hearing Sakura's sudden question, Hoshino was stunned, wondering why Sakura suddenly talked about this.

"Well, my dream is to become a Pokémon Master."

"Really?" Sakura held her chin and looked at Hoshino thoughtfully, "Although I am not a qualified gym leader, I have seen a lot of new trainers. Although I can't give you any advice on battles. , but I can still talk about other aspects.”

Saying that, Sakura put down the hand holding her chin and walked slowly to Hoshino, "Actually, I have never felt your enthusiasm for Pokémon battles, Xiaoxing. Although the new trainers who challenged the gym before have different personalities, , but basically I like Pokémon battles more or less."

"As for Xiaoxing, whether you said you wanted to challenge the gym before or when you battled Xiao Ming, I couldn't sense your enthusiasm for Pokémon battles. It seemed like you were just doing it to complete the task, or following the trend. After all, there are many New trainers all want to be Pokémon Masters, but they all have the passion, and you just do it mechanically."

After finishing speaking, Sakura glanced at Hoshino's reaction and then continued.

"I don't know if what I said is right. I hope, Xiaoxing, that you can have something you really want to do, just like what you just said about us. I also hope that you can have a dream that you can stick to. This is what I, as a gymnasium Trainer gives Challenger Xiaoxing your advice.”

After that, the scene fell into silence again. After a while, Hoshino bowed to Sakura.

"Thank you Sakura Hall Master, I will seriously consider it."

Boom boom boom!

Along with a knock on the door, the voice of the gym staff sounded outside the door, informing the three sisters that they could start preparing for the performance.

"Ah, has it reached this point in time? Then Xiaoxing, Xiaoming, you should work hard in the next journey. And Xiaoxing, you don't have to be so anxious to find your dream, you will slowly discover it in the next journey. That’s it.”

After that, the three sisters hurriedly said goodbye to Xiaoxing and Xiaoming and went to prepare for the performance. As for Hoshino, they didn't stay too long and left the Hualan Gym.

"Then Xiaoxing, let's just say goodbye."

Standing in front of the Hualan Gym, Xiao Ming said goodbye to Xingye.

"Next, I'm going to Nibi Gym to challenge. Xiaoxing, you should go to Dry Leaf City."

"Well, I'm going to challenge the Dead Leaf Gym next. You have to be careful about the martial arts master of Nibi Gym, he is very powerful."

"Haha~, is that so? That's what I want."

After hearing Hoshino's advice, Xiao Ming laughed heartily and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Next time we meet, let's fight again. My pangolin will not lose next time."

"A~!"

The pangolin waved its claws at Scorpio with high spirits, and Scorpio responded in kind.

"Of course there is no problem, but Scorpio and I will never lose."

"Me too. Although I didn't quite understand what Miss Sakura was saying just now, I believe that you will be able to find your dream, Xiaoxing! Goodbye now~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ming waved his hand, turned around and left with the pangolin. And Hoshino also walked in the opposite direction with Scorpio, embarking on the road to Dead Leaf City.
