When Kashiwagi was feeling regretful, Alice next to him suddenly said, "Let's fight! We can understand dragon-attribute Pokémon through fighting!"
"what?"
He froze for a moment.
"Battle!"
Alice thought he didn't hear clearly, so she repeated, "During the battle, Pokémon and Trainer are one. Don't you think you can better see what your Pokémon is thinking at that time?"
"This……"
Kashiwagi inexplicably felt that there was some truth in it.
If she just wanted to fight, it probably wouldn't be possible tonight. Alice's Pokémon was tired after a day, and she herself was too tired to get up. She urgently needed to rest and recover.
The two agreed to fight tomorrow morning.
night.
The temperature outside dropped sharply.
Kashiwagi, who was too lazy to cook, had a meal in the cafeteria of the Pokémon Center. Miss Joy’s cooking was pretty good and he enjoyed the meal very much.
Since I became rich, I rarely stay at the Pokémon Center anymore, and I seldom go to the cafeteria. I usually either cook for myself or eat out, so I'm quite happy to come here suddenly.
Compared to his extravagant self, Alice, who was born in the Land of Dragons and is the future successor to the Double Dragon Gym, is much more simple.
If there is a Pokémon Center, live in the Pokémon Center. If there is no Pokémon Center, find a big lush tree, climb it, and lie on the trunk as a bed, just like a wild animal.
Therefore, it has been mistaken for a wild Pokémon and thrown at by other trainers many times.
She herself did not learn her lesson and was hit again and again. She had to run up the tree again and again, and was occasionally driven down by Miss Junsha or other managers.
When asked why, she replied that the trees were comfortable and free.
He even wanted to climb the bushes in the oasis outside, but as soon as he stepped out, his feet were frozen and he came back shivering and rubbing his arms.
The desert wind at night can freeze people to hypothermia.
When Kashiwagi thought back to Alice's childhood, he could roughly understand the latter's thoughts. Living with wild Pokémon since childhood, she had developed habits in all aspects.
When it comes to feeding the Pokémon, both sides are almost "frank with each other".
Alice was very surprised by Pokémon like Bosskadora.
"From your team, I really can't tell you're a dragon tamer!"
During their previous casual chat, Kashiwagi told her that he was barely a member of the Meteor Clan from Meteor Falls, a not particularly formal dragon tamer.
At first, she didn't understand what "not particularly formal" meant, but now after seeing Boskodora and the others, she realized that after all the fuss, there was only one dragon-attribute Pokémon in the dragon tamer's team.
Including the Milotic from the dragon egg group, it counts as one and a half.
"You're not much better than me."
Kashiwagi glanced at the dragon-headed ground squirrel and the electric flying squirrel, and finally his eyes fell on a bird-beast creature with colorful feathers and a snake-like head, which looked both fierce and weird.
Oostvatar, the ancient bird Pokémon, has one of the most useless traits, the [Weak] trait.
I didn't expect that Alice's sixth Pokémon would be this.
Remember having it in the game?
"I resurrected this child from a fossil I picked up from a street stall. It took a lot of trouble at the beginning!" Seeing that he seemed very interested in Archaeopteryx, Alice told him a little story.
It's basically a standard plot that involves being lucky enough to pick up a fossil, and then being successfully resurrected with the help of others. However, it is accidentally lost after being targeted by a poaching group, and then successfully found back with the sensing ability of the round land shark.
The plot of gaining the trust of Archaeopteryx by being bitten also exists.
No matter how aggressive a Pokémon is, once it bites a person, it will soon be conquered by their eyes and words. Gentleness is always the magic weapon to conquer the animated version of Pokémon.
If it were the group in the game Legend of Arceus...it would be good enough if they didn't beat you to the point of losing your memory.
"By the way, does your Proto-Bird know how to use the double-edged head hammer?"
Kashiwagi suddenly asked.
It is so difficult to find a Boskodora that can use the Double-Edged Headbutt that the big monster has not yet learned this rock-attribute ultimate move despite its hard head.
The sharp stone attack is certainly sufficient, and after super evolution, the characteristic becomes filtering, and the rock attribute is gone.
But I always feel like something is missing if I can't use the Double-Edged Headbutt. And even though it's an egg move, maybe Boskodora can learn it from Archaic Bird?
Helplessly, Alice shook her head.
"Pity."
Kashiwagi patted Boskodora's arm regretfully.
The latter doesn't matter. Even without the so-called double-edged head hammer, its power will not be shaken.
-
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Alice, full of energy, ran over and knocked on the door.
"Good morning! Kashiwagi! Get up! Kashiwagi!"
Although the two of them were traveling together, they did not live in the same room like they did when they traveled with Xiaozhi. Regardless of whether Alice minded or not, Kashiwagi would definitely be the first one who was unwilling to do so.
"Happy~"
Happiny, who was pushing a cleaning cart, tugged at her clothes and pointed outside.
"Eh? Is he out already?"
Alice easily understood what Happiny meant. She swiftly ran downstairs and out of the Pokémon Center. Suddenly, she saw Kashiwagi doing morning exercises by the pool in the oasis in the distance.
In the sparkling pool, the Harami Miens twists and turns its body, and the sunlight illuminates its golden scales and tail fin, making it dazzling.
She couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.
"so beautiful……"
"really."
A voice sounded in her ear, startling her.
Only then did Alice realize that Kashiwagi, who was doing morning exercises, had come to her side without her noticing.
Kashiwagi said with deep emotion: "Even as its trainer, I am often deeply attracted to it. In the past, when I watched other Milotic videos on the Internet, I just thought they were good-looking and then turned the page without any regrets."
"why?"
"Why... maybe it's the heart."
He smiled. "Before, those Mienshao belonged to other people. Now I have one among my friends. The mood is completely different. The feeling is very different. Another possibility is that the video only uses vision and hearing, and is also limited by pixels and image quality. It is not as real as the actual situation."
Alice was thoughtful.
Suddenly she woke up from a dream and said, "Wait! Fight! Let's fight! We agreed on it yesterday!"
"Are we going to fight before we have breakfast?"
"It's the same if you eat after the fight!"
Alice said impatiently, as if she had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
Looking at her expression, Kashiwagi was not sure for a moment whether she wanted him to learn the Heart of the Dragon or simply wanted to challenge him as a dragon tamer.
but.
"Row!"
He nodded. "Then how do we fight? One on one? Three on three?"
"Of course it's three against three! I'll send out all my dragon-attribute Pokémon!" Alice directly announced her choice.
Seeing this, Kashiwagi looked at the Milotic in the pool and said, "In that case, I will use the three most dragon-like Pokémon in my team."
"it is good!"
The two came to the battle area behind the Pokémon Center.
Although this place looked like it was rarely used, Nurse Happiny still kept it very clean, with only a thin layer of sand blown by the wind on the ground.
Since there was no drone referee and Miss Joy and Happiny were busy, they had to make up their own rules.
"Is there any particular rule for attacking and releasing Pokémon first?"
Kashiwagi inquired.
Elise, who was standing on the opposite trainer's seat, answered loudly, "Let's release together! Attack together!"
"it is good."
He pulled out a Poké Ball and exposed it to the sunlight, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"start!"
As Kashiwagi's voice fell, two Poké Balls flew up and opened with two bangs.
The white light flickered.
Axefang Dragon and Mienshao landed on both sides of the field.
"Ouch!"
"Milo~"
The morning sun was not particularly strong and had little effect on the water-attributed Mimics, so Kashiwagi chose it as his starting Pokémon.
But he was a little surprised that Alice chose to start with Axetooth Dragon.
What are the characteristics?
Fighting spirit? Breaking the rules?
If it's the former, it would be interesting. When a male Axetooth meets a female Milotic, the power of its moves will inevitably decrease... Unfortunately, it's most likely an exceptional trait.
"Dance of Dragons!"
"Go ahead! Black Mist!"
