Delibird: The Correct Way to Deal with Trainers' Double Standards

Chapter 76 Delibird: The Correct Way to Deal with Trainers' Double Standards

Zhu Suihan took out his phone and took a picture. It didn't matter that he couldn't use it, but he could use these pictures to bribe the Gyarados in the academy. He should be able to understand them.

"So, on a smaller scale, this is a place where one can enhance their Dragon's Fury cultivation?"

Uncle Liu shook his head: "That's just a metaphor. What's really useful is the spiritual aspect, like the performance your little fairy just showed."

Zhu Suihan patted Xiaoxiannai's head: "Well, it means this is a place for weight training, and the Yulong team will like it very much."

"So here's the question: why would the Dragon Taming group want to use Gyarados's training ground? It has 'dragon' in its name, but it's not actually a dragon."

Uncle Liu and Aju fell into an eerie silence, while the messenger bird chuckled on Zhu Suihan's shoulder.

"Well, dragons aren't just judged by their attributes; their appearance also matters, right?"

Liu Bo said, "You can find all kinds of dragons in Yanmo City, Gyarados, Charizard, Dragonite, do you understand what I mean?"

Bamboo Suihan:

Isn't this exactly the same explanation given by those trainers in my previous life?

Aju cleared her throat and said, "That's too complicated. I'll just give you the simplest explanation: the core of the Dragon Tamer Clan has never been Dragon-type Pokémon, but themselves."

"As for why it's about riding dragons instead of fire or water, you might have to ask their ancestors."

Controlling fire, water, and thunder—it sounds increasingly absurd.

I feel that if those bug-catching kids and mountain climbing brothers can make something of themselves in the future and pass on their hobbies through family bloodlines, perhaps a family with a distinct identity will emerge.

Is there any imperial foot?

Zhu Suihan shook off that strange thought: "So the Dragon Royal Family would pay a high price for their Gyarados, and then the Alliance could also make a profit from it?"

"Yes, that's true. We don't understand it, but that doesn't mean the Gyarados species doesn't understand it."

Uncle Liu said, "Gyarados can learn a lot from the fossilized scale patterns. Putting aside the spiritual aspects, the actions of their ancestors alone are a considerable treasure."

"Besides Dragon's Fury, there is also Dragon Dance, a dance of rage unique to Gyarados."

Oh no, it clearly said four times weak electricity, but why am I thinking of four times weak ice?

Uncle Liu said, "To put it simply, this is a combination move. Have you seen Xuecheng's Dragonite? That Dragonite is a pure monster. The power of the Dragon attribute gives it a long lifespan, and it is still in its peak period."

"Let me put it this way, have you ever seen a combination of Swiftness and Dragon Dance? You can perform Dragon Dance while using Swiftness, and you can also use the different rhythms and postures of Dragon Dance to carry out pure physical attacks on the enemy."

"Including but not limited to Iron Mountain Strike, Elbow Strike, Side Kick, etc. Yukinari was also a skilled fighter back then, and Dragonite learned a lot from him."

Zhu Suihan slowly typed out a question mark.

Uncle Liu snorted coldly: "On this point, I agree with Ju Zi. Xue Cheng has indeed become quite lax in his work over the years."

The messenger bird sat silently on Bamboo Frost's shoulder, its eyes downcast and its mind at ease. It plucked a feather from its body and began to tease Little Fairy Milk, treating it like a babysitter.

Trainer, aren't you really ashamed to say that?

They say that muscular old man has become lax, but I'm thinking you're not much better off.

The training started all over again after this humanoid Togepi was born, you two are evenly matched!

As soon as I open my mouth, the thing under my butt will definitely understand what I mean; it's practically mind-reading.

Forget it, we're all family, so let's not push Uncle Liu too hard.

A-Ju secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. Although she had known for a long time that the PhD from Pallet Town was very capable, she usually only interacted with him in the field of scientific research.

After all, Professor Oak's Indigo League championship was a long time ago, even for someone as old as Kikyo.

"Once things are settled here, I should be able to go back to the academy."

Zhu Suihan scratched his head: "I don't see anything fun here. We can't even fish now that things have turned out like this."

"Yes, the camp should issue a notice soon to evacuate in batches."

After leaving the mine and waiting for Ah Ju to leave, Uncle Liu looked at Zhu Suihan.

"Don't listen to that kid Aju's nonsense. My expectations for you are not to be the Gym Leader of Kajido Gym, or even the Elite Four or the Champion."

"How you live your future is up to you. Just like you told me and Xuecheng, the past cannot be your shackles. The present and the future depend entirely on you and your partners."

Zhu Suihan nodded: "Yes, right now we're mainly waiting for the money."

He still has two large sums of money that haven't been deposited yet, and he still needs to make Little Fairy's Poké Ball after returning to the academy.

This matter was supposed to be carried out immediately, but unexpectedly it was suddenly taken to the Lake of Rage by a transport plane as medical support.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, I saw a trainer with a Dragonair at the academy. He should be the Dragonmaster you mentioned."

"That's normal. He's a young man, right? Yulong is building up his image and letting everyone get to know him beforehand."

Uncle Liu said, "I think his name is Lance. He's already quite famous among trainers and is preparing to challenge this year's Indigo League."

Oh, so you started out like one of the Four Heavenly Kings, right?

Zhu Suihan asked curiously, "Um, he challenged you?"

"Yes, he's done the challenge. The system is good; the rules of the gym battle limited his performance."

After a moment of thought, Liu Bo said, "Right, he also seems to possess extraordinary power, but I don't understand what kind of power he has."

Zhu Suihan asked in surprise, "You can't even tell what kind of extraordinary power it is?"

"Hmm, it feels a bit strange. It's different from the power of ordinary superhumans. It's like something is mixed together."

Uncle Liu shook his head: "There are two possibilities."

Two types?

Zhu Suihan grinned, thinking that Adu in this timeline might have received an epic-level upgrade.

He possesses both the power of the Everlasting Rock and the power of the Dragon.

"Next, I'll probably head straight back to Kaji's Gym and take care of some trouble from the League."

It's not bad now; at least the league didn't drag his friends into trying to persuade him.

If it happens to be another gathering of friends, Uncle Liu will have to consider freezing the snow.

There's nothing we can do; he's just healthy, so being frozen won't bother him.

"I almost forgot, this should be returned to you."

Back at the camp, Uncle Liu led Zhu Suihan to his tent and then lifted the tarpaulin covering the object.

A stone tablet, entirely black with white characters inscribed on it, was taller than the bamboo grove.

"I cleaned up the dirt on this monument. I was planning to have a messenger bird deliver it to you sometime, but now it's back to its rightful owner."

Uncle Liu patted the stone tablet: "If you are interested in your past, I suggest you find a trustworthy organization to investigate the geological composition of this stone tablet and see if you can find a similar area."

"Pele".

The messenger bird rolled its eyes. Luckily, it had run into Zhu Suihan this time, otherwise it would have been pure exploitation of labor.

"Thanks."

Zhu Suihan touched the stone tablet, but there was no flash of light as he had imagined, and a mythical beast cub popped out of it.

I just felt that the stone tablet was a bit cold, and the person who wrote the inscription must have had very good calligraphy, at least you can see the real brushstrokes.

"I had Xuecheng help me retrieve ancient books and records from various places for your inscription, but I didn't find anything."

Uncle Liu said, "Anyway, in my opinion, that kid from the Yulong family is even more legendary than you. This year, he'll at least be the champion of the tournament."

"As for whether he wants to rush to the position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, that depends on his own thoughts."

Zhu Suihan put the stone tablet into the incense burner, planning to visit Fengyuan sometime.

Investigating the "origin" of a stone tablet is like an age-testing method for antiques; eventually, a piece of stone can be pried off from the bulletin board chamber.

Uncle Liu sat in his chair, and a messenger bird flew over observantly and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Is life at school interesting?"

"It's alright, but Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai can't understand it."

"It's normal that you don't understand."

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Human knowledge and Pokémon knowledge are two completely different systems."

"By the way, are you planning to participate in the regional tournament?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Indigo League will split into two alliances, Kanto and Johto, within the next two years."

Uncle Liu took a sip of tea: "If you participate in the regional conference now, you might get an additional special title on your file, and everyone will know that you're a senior professional."

Zhu Suihan:?

Classic skins are being sold at inflated prices by adding the word "limited edition," right?

"I never expected you to make such a joke."

"It was just to get a feel for the thinking habits of young people."

Uncle Liu said, "By the way, that little guy named Fighter came to the Kaji Gym to look for you. His Chikorita has evolved into Bayleaf, but he also likes to jump more."

Zhu Suihan was somewhat surprised: "That kid, could it be that he's already qualified for the regional tournament?"

The rule that you can participate in the regional tournament by collecting all eight badges in the gym challenge is actually the second version of the regional tournament rules.

In addition, Quartz League also had a rule that participants could directly enter the preliminary rounds and then obtain tickets to the regional conventions.

In short, you might encounter a florist with a Bulbasaur in the preliminary rounds, or a boy in swim trunks riding a Gyarados.

Later, to emphasize the importance of the gym badges, a rule was added that collecting all eight badges would grant direct eligibility to participate.

Just like the esports world championships, teams that make it to the world championships are already very strong.

Even though they were a pushover team, they still managed to overcome many obstacles and make it to the top that year.

There are too many events in the regional tournament, but the ones that are most memorable are just a few: the awakening of the Great King, the battle between Greninja and Mega Sceptile, and the final battle of Charizard with its Water Absorption.

Ash's first match in the Indigo League was quite interesting. After arriving at the Water Field, he temporarily transferred Krabby from Professor Oak's backyard.

This is a storyline where someone comes on as an emergency substitute to save the world.

That magician who likes to talk big opened champagne before even starting the game, which was way more excessive than opening champagne at halftime. As a result, he was completely crushed by the giant crab that had just teleported over.

The giant crab even performed a battle evolution, evolving into a giant crab and defeating the magician single-handedly against three opponents.

All I can say is that Professor Oak's backyard is a true paradise.
