Pokémon: I have a Pokémon too!

"We'll leave our training to you, Gengar." After finishing their warm-up run, Shen Xiqing and Salamander handed a basket of small balls to Gengar.

The Night Salamander's physical strength is her weakness, but her agility is her strength.

Rather than trying to dramatically increase your physical strength within a month of summer vacation, it is better to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and to take your strengths one step further, while gradually improving your physical fitness through daily training.

Gengar picked up a small ball and looked at Shen Xiqing, motioning her to stay away.

Shen Xiqing shook his head and said, "I have to train with Salamander. Trainers should stand together with their Pokémon."

"Besides, we will have to explore the secret realm in the future. We can't let the Night Thief Salamander protect us all the time. At least I should be able to realize where the attack is coming from and how to avoid it."

"So feel free to train us boldly. We are ready!"

The girl is full of vigor and vitality, and her tone is confident and firm, full of youthful vigor, which makes people feel moved.

Gengar wiped away his tears. He saw that the little princess had grown up and now had her own dreams and a path to move forward. So he should let go and give her a helping hand!

Gengar dove into the shadows, disappearing from their sight, and the balls suddenly hit them one after another.

"We're not at that level yet, Gengar! We need to practice frontal dodging first!" Shen Xiqing hurriedly stopped him.

This kind of evasion training where you can't see the direction of the attack is not suitable for novices like them and has no training effect at all.

Upon hearing this, Gengar stopped attacking with his chubby hands and scratched his head. He was so excited that he forgot that they were still newbies.

"Hoxi!" The night-thief fire lizard couldn't help but complain in a hoarse voice, looking at the bruises on Shen Xiqing's body with heartache.

"It's okay, Salamander. You can get treated anytime you want if you get injured now, but if you get injured outside, you might lose your life. These are the only way for us to become stronger."

Shen Xiqing supported himself with his knees and bent over to look at the night thief fire lizard. "Just like you will not give up our dreams because of injuries and hard training, I am the same. We feel the same way."

"Hoxi!" Fire ignited in the eyes of the Night Thief Salamander, and he turned to look at Gengar. Then let's continue training!

The fire lizard tried hard to dodge the small balls flying towards her. Shen Xiqing stood right behind her to give her hints and instructions, and she had to dodge the small balls that might hit her from time to time.

As the training progresses, their level of tacit understanding is gradually improving.

By the time the training was over, they were covered in wounds and out of breath.

Gengar took out a bottle of medicine spray from his stomach and sprayed it on the wound. It felt cool and a little stinging.

"It hurts so much, Gengar, I need to eat some eggs from Jigglypuff today to get better, can you go tell mom?"

Gengar bent over to clean her wound, and she also bent over and lay on Gengar's back. Her body, like a purple balloon, was particularly comfortable.

Salamander also looked at Gengar eagerly, its two curved purple eyes trying to widen into a pitiful and expectant look.

"ging..." Gengar was sweating all over because of being stared at, and the coquettish words in his ears seemed like an auditory hallucination luring him to the underworld.

Liu Qing controls the nutritional supplements at home because he is afraid that the greedy little ones will eat too much and affect their health.

Although the explanation that he needed to replenish nutrition due to training injuries was barely acceptable, he could not avoid being nagged about it. Thinking of this, Gengar's two pointed ears, which were the same as Pixie's, drooped.

"How about Gengar bandage it up for me, and I'll go talk to mom myself."

Shen Xiqing sat back on the lawn, and the fire lizard lay down beside her hand.

Hearing that things were turning around, Gengar didn't think about why she did that. He just took out a bandage from his stomach and tied the injured area tightly, leaving some bruises exposed, which looked very serious.

"I didn't expect Gengar's method to be so powerful. It looks much more serious all of a sudden."

Shen Xiqing was amazed. Why didn't she realize that he had this skill before?

"ging~" Gengar scratched his head shyly. He had practiced this technique specially before, and this technique played a big role in Shen Yu's pursuit of his wife.

He is good at making injuries seem less severe or more serious.

Shen Xiqing picked up the fire lizard and pretended to limp back home.

"I was just about to call you home for dinner. What happened? Training should be moderate. It would be bad if you leave hidden injuries." Liu Qing frowned and helped his daughter to the sofa.

"I didn't pay attention for a while. Although the injury hurts, we are very satisfied when we feel that the training is effective."

Shen Xiqing lowered his head to look at the Salamander that was pretending to be listless, and the Salamander understood what he meant and perked up a little to respond.

"Are you willing to do this even if every day is as hard as today, or even harder?"

Liu Qing poured a glass of water in front of her and sat down beside her.

"Because this is our dream. I have made a promise with the Night Thief Salamander, so we absolutely cannot give up just because of this little bit of hardship!"

"Hoxi!" The fire lizard rubbed her cheek with its long kiss to show its closeness and approval.

"Since you have determined your path, let me also talk to you about the awareness that a trainer should have." Shen Yu appeared at the stairs at some point.

"Why is Dad at home today?" Shen Xiqing was a little surprised. Normally speaking, today was not Shen Yu's holiday, so he wouldn't sneak back home in the name of a business trip again.

"Dad, I have a good idea." Shen Yu held his head high with pride. He had taken a long vacation this time and could stay at home for the rest of the summer.

Shen Yu did not choose to sit with his wife but sat opposite Shen Xiqing. His confrontational attitude was extremely rare.

"Are you really ready to become a trainer?"

Shen Xiqing sat up straight, and the Night Salamander no longer pretended to be weak and met his gaze formally.

"Be prepared to be responsible for your Pokémon and your own life."

"Be prepared to face a Pokémon riot and a large number of casualties."

"When you see Pokémon fighting for territory in nature, be prepared not to interfere."

"Be prepared to be betrayed by fellow human beings."

“Be prepared to remain in awe of the Alliance even after you have great strength.”

As he spoke one sentence after another, Liu Qing looked reluctant, but she did not stop her husband from continuing.

These are the things they had seen and experienced back then. In that chaotic era, such things happened all the time. The alliances coexisted peacefully on the surface, but they were constantly using sinister tactics behind the scenes. Trainers like them suffered a lot.

"Are you really ready? Have you ever thought about how we would feel if one day you never come back?" Shen Yu's tone was calm, but his eyes were a little red.

"Yes, no matter what the road ahead holds, I will remain sober and cautious, not impulsive or reckless, and live for you who stand behind me and support me."

"hoxi!" The Night Thief Salamander's determination to become stronger became even stronger. No matter what obstacles and crises there were on the road, she would break through them and move forward with Shen Xiqing.

Liu Qing hugged Shen Xiqing and the Night Thief Salamander, "Then let's go on. Mom and Dad will always be your strong backers and a safe haven for you to hide at any time."

"Um!"
