Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

A trainer came running from a distance.

"Thank you so much for saving my beautiful flower, sir. I'm Liliai, may I ask your name?"

Zhang Yu said as he looked at the girl whose face turned red from running towards him.

"You're welcome. My name is Ayu. This happened suddenly and I was just trying to protect myself."

Lilia shook her head and said, "No, no, I must thank you for your help! How about this, when you are done, please come to the Yuzu Gym to find me!"

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Zhang Yu to say anything else.

"That's the cousin of Yuzu Gym Leader Ayi. I didn't expect Ayu to be the hero and save the damsel in distress."

Miss Junsha joked after learning Zhang Yu's name.

"Yuzu Gym?"

-

After receiving thanks from a group of trainers, Zhang Yu and Jun Sha went to the police station to take a statement.

The three members of Team Rocket were caught and thrown into jail while they were sleeping soundly.

"Mr. Ayu, thank you very much for coming forward. This is your excellent trainer bonus. Please accept it."

After Zhang Yu opened it, he found that there were 4000 Poké Coins. Although he had saved a lot of money, who would complain about having too much money?

"Okay, I'll be leaving if it's okay."

After leaving the police station, he prepared to go to the Yuzu Gym to look for Liliae.

I looked at the map and followed the instructions to arrive at the Yuzu Gym.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Yu thought he had come to the wrong place, only to see many trainers and Pokémon in the gym dancing to the music...?

Uh, is this really a gym?

Zhang Yu was a little confused and felt like he was in a dance hall.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Another new challenger?"

There was a clapping sound, and the dancers and the music stopped.

A young man in a tuxedo came over.

He doesn’t look very old, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Um, well, actually I'm here to look for Liliai. She asked me to meet her here." Zhang Yu stated his purpose.

"What? So you're looking for my cousin. I heard from her that you are the Ayu that my cousin calls the Flower Warrior."

"My name is Ayi, and I'm the master of Yuzu's gym. Although I don't know your strength, thank you for saving my cousin's Pokémon. Come with me."

Although he wanted to complain about the nickname given by Lilia, Zhang Yu held back because he had received professional training.

-

I followed Ayi to a room that looked like a living room.

"Cousin, the Flower Warrior is here!"

After saying that, he left the room without caring about the frown on Zhang Yu's face.

"Eh? Ayi, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Liliae's slightly flustered voice came from the inner room.

Two minutes later——

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ayu, I kept you waiting for so long."

Liliai came out with tea.

"Tea, please."

"I'm really sorry, I hope that child Ayi didn't cause you any trouble."

"No, no, it's just how this flower warrior got his name."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and asked awkwardly.

What is the name of a cartoon from the last century?

Who knew, as soon as he finished speaking, Liliai became excited as if a switch was turned on.

"Actually, I thought it was cool to see Yu commanding the Stinky Flower to fight, so I gave it the name."

"But, a Skank that has only evolved once can defeat Team Rocket's Onix. That's incredible!!"

Lilia's face turned red because of her excitement.

"Hahaha, is that so? I didn't expect that... Actually, it's because Vileflower herself is so brave."

Looking at Liliae approaching him excitedly, Zhang Yu said that the people in the Pokémon world seemed to be too enthusiastic.

"To thank you for saving my Meimei and Huahua, please accept this."

After saying that, Liliai took out a small box from behind her.

"What is this?" Zhang Yu took the box and opened it. There was a CD inside.

"This is a skill learning machine for Venom Shock. My dad brought it to me from another region. I originally wanted to give it to Meimei and Huahua, but they don't like fighting, so they kept it."

"And your Stinky Flower is so strong in combat, I think the venom shock must be helpful to it." Lilia explained

"Skill machine?"

Although it was the first time Zhang Yu saw the real thing, he knew that it was a very rare thing.

The Trainer's Manual introduces the Skill Machine, which is a device that records Pokémon's skills on a disc through a special device. When using it, you only need to put it close to the Pokémon's head for a period of time to learn it. However, after learning, the knowledge in the disc will dissipate.

Since the recording process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and CD materials are rare, the price of skill machines remains high.

"Isn't this a bit too expensive?"

Zhang Yu declined.

"It's okay, Ayu, they're not valuable at all. If it weren't for you, my Meimei and Huahua would have been captured by the damn Rocket Team, and I might never see them again."

Lilia looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.

"Um, okay, okay, I'll take it."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu had no choice but to accept the skill machine "Venom Shock"

"Come out, Stinky Flower."

"Hana~"

Vileflower came out and looked at his trainer in confusion.

Zhang Yu held it on the sofa.

"Stinky Flower, here is a skill. Do you want to learn it? It can make you stronger~"

"Hana?"

Although it didn't know how to learn skills on the sofa, it nodded when it heard that it could become stronger. It wanted to become more powerful and protect its trainer. Of course, it would be even better if its body could become smaller.

"Then try to empty your mind and accept the knowledge in this CD."

Zhang Yu brought the CD close to Chouchouhua's head.

Suddenly, the disc glowed, and after about two minutes, it became dim.

"Is this done?"

"Stinky Flower, can you feel that you have learned new moves?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.

Stinky Flower nodded. It just felt dizzy and then something seemed to enter its brain.

At this time, Liliae suddenly said: "If you have just used a skill machine, you need to practice more to really remember the moves~"

"Ayu, do you want to have a fight with my cousin Ayi?"

-

"Eh? Fighting?"

Ayi was a little surprised, but he readily accepted the fight.

"If you want to fight, you must participate in our battle dance!"

"What the hell?"

Zhang Yu looked at Ayi and his Pokémon Electabuzz in confusion as they performed a somewhat eye-catching dance to the music.

Lilia's face was also flushed with embarrassment.

"What?! Yu isn't here to challenge a gym! You're almost there!"

A punch hit Ayi on the head, stopping his awkward dance.

Zhang Yu wiped the non-existent cold sweat.

I didn't expect Liliai to have such a side.

"Okay, it hurts, sis!"

"Then let's get started. The rule is 1v1. The one who loses consciousness is the loser."
