Chapter 529: The Arrival of Xiaochun, Dragon vs. Dragon!
Xiaofu Egg evolved into a Lucky Egg!
When Zhishu received this news, he was stunned.
Looking at the round Jili Egg in front of him, he asked uncertainly, "Is this a Luck Egg?"
Didn't he ask Xiaofu Egg to carry the Yingzi Fruit for a day? How did it suddenly evolve into an Auspicious Egg?
"Lucky~"
The Lucky Egg let out a happy cry, holding the egg in its arms, and softly explaining to Zhishu what had just happened.
"Lucky, lucky!"
Zhishu: "......So, in order to deepen your impression of the tree fruit, you deliberately put yourself into an abnormal state and then treated it with a specific tree fruit?"
"Lucky~" The Auspicious Egg nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Zhishu was at a loss for words.
This method was indeed simple and crude...
"You've memorized them all?" Zhishu asked curiously.
The Lucky Egg nodded proudly, "Lucky!"
Then it proceeded to tell Zhishu about its learning process.
It had found Babutuobo and asked it to use Electromagnetic Waves on itself, and then used the Yingzi Fruit to cure the paralysis.
There was also the burn from the Lava Insect, the freezing from the Bingyi Bird, the poison powder from the King Flower, and the sleep powder from the Miaowei Flower.
Now, it had memorized all the tree fruit knowledge!
"Lucky?" The Auspicious Egg looked at Zhishu expectantly.
That expression seemed to be asking if it was impressive.
Zhishu smiled and nodded, "Very impressive. But to proceed to the next stage of learning, you'll need to pass my test."
The Lucky Egg immediately indicated that it was no problem!
So Zhishu went back to his room and once again took out the tree fruits to test the Lucky Egg.
To his surprise, the Lucky Egg answered every question correctly.
It could not only recognize the names of the tree fruits and distinguish their effects but also describe the feelings and external changes of Pokemon when they were in an abnormal state.
For example, if a Pokemon was paralyzed, their body would become stiff, and occasionally, a current of electricity would surge across their surface.
Hearing this, Zhishu nodded in satisfaction.
"However, there's one more thing to note. There are actually two types of paralysis status. One is the electric paralysis that you're familiar with, and the other is the powder paralysis used by Grass-attribute Pokemon."
"If you're hit by a Paralysis Powder, there won't be any electricity on the Pokemon's body, they will just find it hard to move. You need to learn to distinguish between these two."
"Lucky!" The Auspicious Egg listened intently and decided to go back and try it out with Badafu later.
"Congratulations, Lucky Egg. You have successfully passed the test, and now you are an apprentice doctor." Zhishu said.
As he spoke, he stood up and went to the bedroom to get a nurse's cap and a medical bag with a red cross logo.
"Lucky..." The Lucky Egg immediately recognized that it was a similar nurse's cap and backpack to Chansey's, and it was very excited. Now it would become a Pokemon doctor who helps others, just like Chansey!
"This is the hat and medical bag I've specially prepared for you. You can wear it across your body and fill it with spare medicine and tree fruit. That way, if you come across any injured or needy Pokemon in the future, you'll be able to help them." Zhishu said.
"Lucky!"
The Lucky Egg reached out to take the medical bag, and Zhishu helped it put on the hat.
"Alright, starting today, you can begin the next phase of your learning." Zhishu said.
That was to go to the Pokemon Center and learn how to take care of Pokemon by observing Miss Joy and Chabadoll as they attended to visiting trainers!
"Lucky!" The Auspicious Egg's eyes shone with determination.
That afternoon, the Lucky Egg went to the Pokemon Center and, under the guidance of Nurse Joy and Chansey, began its advanced studies.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Padia League.
An intense battle was taking place.
Ye Ci smiled at the challenger across from her.
It was a woman wearing a cloak and a blue dress, with blue hair and a graceful and dexterous demeanor.
"My, my, the match is really heating up!" Ye Ci smiled, "Your strength is truly remarkable, forcing me to this extent! But I'm glad that the Padia region has such talented individuals. Come on! Defeat me, and you'll be promoted to the Champion rank!"
At this point, both sides had only one Pokemon left.
Seeing the smiling, equally strong woman across from her, a smile also appeared on Xiaochun's face.
"It's rare to meet a Trainer like you!" Xiaochun's expression suddenly changed. "But I am Xiaochun! The strongest Dragon Envoy in the world! No matter the opponent, I will always give it my all! Go, Aerodactyl!"
With that, Xiaochun forcefully threw the Poke Ball in her hand.
Accompanied by a flash of white light, an Aerodactyl that had been bred to be exceptionally strong appeared on the battlefield.
"Aerodactyl... That Pokemon reminds me of an old acquaintance," Ye Ci thought as the figure of Naoki straight tree appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but quip, "That person has captured a whole bunch of Aerodactyls, but rarely uses them for Pokemon battles. Instead, he sends them out to deliver packages for him."
Xiaochun paused slightly, taken aback.
However, Ye Ci didn't continue the topic. "Then, for this final battle, I will also give it my all. Go, Lilligant!"
With another flash of white light, a Pokemon that resembled an open flower with deep blue petals appeared opposite the Aerodactyl.
Five minutes later, the Lilligant lay on the ground, having lost the battle.
The referee outside the field blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.
"Lilligant is unable to battle! The challenger, Xiaochun from Johto, is the winner of this match!"
Xiaochun was not surprised by the outcome.
She looked down at her Rotom Phone.
With this, she had obtained the qualifications to challenge the mysterious Trainer, the strongest in the Padia region.
Ye Ci was not at all discouraged by her loss.
With her hands clasped and a smile on her face, she said, "Congratulations, Xiaochun. You have passed the Padia League Champion Challenge and are now a Champion-level Trainer."
Xiaochun, who had no intention of joining the Padia League, remained silent.
After all, she was not only the heir to the Dragon-Controlling Family but also the Gym Leader of the Ink and Wash Gym in Johto...
Ye Ci showed her disappointment at this response.
However, she didn't say much else and instead smiled, "The Padia League welcomes you anytime."
After leaving the Padia League headquarters, Xiaochun used her Rotom Phone to call her cousin, Adu.
Soon, the call connected, and Adu's handsome and resolute face appeared on the screen.
"What's up?" Adu asked. He was currently on an infiltration mission. A Kanto League investigator had discovered the location of a Team Rocket base, and he intended to disguise himself and sneak in to investigate.
Xiaochun replied, "I've collected all eight badges from the Padia League and passed the Champion Challenge. Now I have the qualifications to challenge him."
"I see," Adu recalled the battle at the Unova Region banquet that year and, after a moment of silence, cautioned, "He's very strong, not only with Dragon-type Pokemon but also with other types. Be careful, that Aerodactyl of his is very skilled with the Rain Dance, Thunder, and Hurricane combo."
For an Aerodactyl, this strategy was the simplest and easiest to execute. In rainy weather, the accuracy of Thunder increased drastically.
Once hit, except for a few Pokemon immune to electric attacks, most other types would suffer heavy damage.
In theory, this strategy could be easily countered, but that man's Aerodactyl seemed different from others.
His Aerodactyl was exceptionally skilled in using Rain Dance and Hurricane, able to change the weather almost instantly.
This prevented opponents from seizing the weather advantage, leaving them no choice but to watch as the Aerodactyl whipped up an exaggerated storm, turning the entire battlefield into its domain.
Hearing her cousin's description, Xiaochun was stunned, asking incredulously, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Adu nodded seriously. He imagined the scenario and described it, "Do you know what a typhoon is like? The storm created by that Aerodactyl is like being in the midst of a typhoon."
Xiaochun was, of course, familiar with typhoons. Her Haxorus, before it evolved into an Aerodactyl, had once trained by riding out a typhoon.
However, for an Aerodactyl to use its wings to create a storm comparable to a typhoon...
Even her cousin Adu couldn't accomplish such a feat! Xiaochun's expression turned solemn, and she was inwardly shocked.
Just how powerful was that man's Aerodactyl?!
What was even more frightening was that he had more than one Aerodactyl...
Xiaochun clearly remembered the numerous Aerodactyls in his ranch.
In comparison, which was the true Dragon's Sanctuary?
It was fortunate that the Trainer was alone and without a family, or else even the name of the Dragon-Controlling Family might have been taken from them.
Turning around, they might become a bootleg version of the Dragon-Controlling Family...
"However, battling that man might give you some insight and help you break through to the next level of strength." Seeing the strange expression on Xiaochun's face, Du mistook her concern for worry and continued.
Xiaochun pushed aside her bizarre thoughts and said seriously, "I understand."
After hanging up, Du resumed his duties as an inspector, speeding through a ventilation shaft with his own Salamence.
Meanwhile, Xiaochun experienced the local Braviary taxi service in the Padia region, taking a leisurely flight to her destination, Zhiqin Town.
The Braviary taxi slowly made its way through the clear blue sky, with fluffy white clouds drifting by overhead from time to time.
Xiaochun stared blankly at the surrounding scenery, her usually restless mind unusually calm.
The sky in the Padia region was a beautiful blue, and the people were amazing too...
Compared to her hometown in the Johto region, everything here was peaceful and safe. There were no Team Rocket members, no evil organizations, and no Pokemon hunters stealing Pokemon.
She hadn't encountered any of those troubles on her journey so far.
Xiaochun couldn't help but wish that the Johto region could be as peaceful as the Padia region.
Before she knew it, Xiaochun dozed off.
When she opened her eyes again, the driver was smiling kindly at her and saying, "We've arrived in Zhiqin Town, miss. Please gather your belongings and make sure you haven't left anything behind!"
Xiaochun nodded and got out of the taxi.
Before her lay a beautiful seaside town.
Of course, it would have been even better without the ongoing construction work.
Xiaochun could tell that the town was rapidly developing.
Perhaps in just a few years, this place would transform from a small town into a more advanced and technologically-enhanced city.
Xiaochun took out her Rotom Phone to check the map but couldn't find the Straight Tree Ranch on it.
Reluctantly, she had to ask the locals for directions.
"What? Straight Tree Ranch? Are you also going there to find Naoki?" A man with wide eyes and a toothy grin asked.
Xiaochun was slightly taken aback. "Also? Aside from me, are there many others who have been there?"
The man nodded. "Of course! Straight Tree Ranch is quite famous around these parts in Zhiqin Town! The owner is an incredible Pokemon Trainer, and the ranch produces top-quality MooMoo Milk and Life Milk, which are exported all the way to the Hoenn region across the sea!"
"......Could you please tell me how to get there?" Xiaochun asked.
"Oh, just head out of town and follow that country road straight ahead. Straight Tree Ranch is at the end of the road!" The man pointed in a particular direction.
"Thank you very much," Xiaochun said politely.
After bidding the man farewell, she reached for her waist and took out a Poke Ball.
With a flash of white light, a Salamence appeared on the street.
Xiaochun mounted the Salamence and pointed forward, instructing, "Salamence, let's go!"
"Roar!" Salamence nodded its large head and flapped its wings, soaring forward.
Zhiqin Town gradually disappeared behind them, and a vast forest and grassland appeared ahead.
At the end of the road, Xiaochun indeed spotted a large ranch.
That must be Straight Tree Ranch!
Just then, the Salamence beneath Xiaochun seemed to sense something and suddenly became alert.
"Hmm?" Xiaochun furrowed her brows in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Before Salamence could answer, Xiaochun felt shadows passing overhead.
A gust of wind blew by, causing her cloak to flutter wildly.
Xiaochun looked up and saw a large group of Salamence flying above her!
Each Salamence had a small bag slung around its neck and wore protective goggles, looking like employees of a delivery company.
Xiaochun was stunned by the sight.
So many Salamence!
The Salamence seemed to have noticed her and her ride, and they lowered their altitude.
Soon, Xiaochun found herself surrounded by a flock of delivery-clad Salamence.
Their gazes shifted between her and the Salamence she was riding, curiosity evident in their large eyes. Some even scratched their heads with their chubby claws, puzzled.
They had never seen this Salamence on Salamence Island before.
Could it be a Salamence from another region?
Xiaochun's eyes widened in surprise.
"So... so many!" Xiaochun was completely shocked.
