Chapter 610: Double Battle, Danyu, Utsu, and Ghoul Pom
Chapter 610: Double Battle, Danyu, Utsu, and Ghoul Pom
In the Eco-Dome of the Coastal Zone, an artificial sky was projected onto the walls and dome, displaying a bright and sunny scene. Occasionally, a salty sea breeze would blow by, a simulation created by the Eco-Dome itself.
The temperature in the Coastal Zone was warm, but it couldn't compare to the students' enthusiasm.
When Shizuru arrived, the boys and girls had already released their Pokemon from their Poke Balls, eagerly interacting with them and their peers.
As Shizuru approached, the students' eyes turned towards him.
Shizuru looked around and smiled, saying, "It seems everyone is ready. Let's begin the lesson now."
This class was a practical double battle session, and Shizuru, being from Blueberry Academy, which specialized in double battles, believed that the students were already familiar with the theory behind this rule.
Therefore, he didn't spend much time on introductions and instead took out a Poke Ball from his bag.
A white light flashed, and Zephyrfly appeared once again.
Gogoat and Zephyrfly stood on either side of Shizuru.
Facing the excited eyes of the children, Shizuru continued, "Who would like to come forward and partner with me for a battle demonstration?"
Battle?
The opportunity to battle a true champion-level Trainer was a rare and valuable experience for them.
The students all raised their right hands and shouted in unison.
"Me, me, me!"
"Teacher, pick me, pick me!"
"Mr. Shizuru, look over here!"
In the crowd, Danyu waved and jumped up excitedly.
Little Utsu stood by his sister's side, wanting to join the battle but too shy to speak up.
"In that case, let's have that student over there partner with me!" Shizuru said with a smile.
Following Shizuru's gaze, the crowd saw a small figure standing in the center of the group.
Mr. Shizuru chose him...
Realizing this, Utsu stood there, unable to believe what was happening.
Danyu excitedly shouted from the side, "Go, Utsu! Mr. Shizuru chose you!"
Utsu snapped out of his daze and quickly hurried forward.
Shizuru smiled and nodded at Utsu, saying, "It's been a while, Utsu."
Utsu was extremely excited at the moment. He had a lot to say to Mr. Shizuru, but with so many people watching, he didn't know how to start.
"Then, let's continue!" Shizuru shifted the topic back to the lesson, "Can you release your two Pokemon from their Poke Balls, please?"
Utsu nodded vigorously, of course he could! He reached into his pocket and took out two red and white Poke Balls.
Two beams of light flashed, and Tailstand and Wrapbug appeared opposite Gogoat and Zephyrfly.
"Ah, gah..."
"Dream?"
The two Pokemon looked at Tailstand and Wrapbug with some uncertainty.
They seemed so weak...
Utsu also felt a bit nervous at this moment.
He was well aware of the strength of the Pokemon named Gogoat by Mr. Shizuru's side. Having just become a Trainer, Tailstand and Wrapbug were no match for Gogoat and Zephyrfly, right?
Shizuru, however, didn't think too much about it, as this was just a demonstration, not a real battle.
"Relax, it's just a demonstration. I'll use the battle to show you the coordination between different Pokemon," he said.
Utsu's nervousness eased a little.
"Then, let's begin!"
Amidst the students' anticipation, the demonstration officially started.
Gogoat understood Shizuru's intentions, and the crimson ancient energy began to pulse within its scales.
As if resonating with the sky, the bright sunlight became even more dazzling the next moment.
At the same time, the aura emanating from Zephyrfly also changed.
A powerful aura spread from its body.
All the students noticed this.
Someone couldn't help but mutter, "That's..."
"The two Pokemon's abilities are coordinating!"
At this moment, the students gained a clearer understanding of coordination between Pokemon.
Sensing the aura emanating from Gogoat and Zephyrfly, Tailstand and Wrapbug, standing before Utsu, became tense.
"Try attacking us," Shizuru said.
"Yes!" Utsu attempted to give commands, "Tailstand, use Assist! Wrapbug, use Dragon Breath!"
With the commands given, the two Pokemon on the field sprang into action.
Tailstand ran behind Wrapbug, and its small claws transmitted energy into Wrapbug's body like a martial arts move.
Wrapbug opened its mouth, and within, purple Dragon Energy coalesced, transforming into a purple aura that surged towards Gogoat.
Gogoat stood motionless in its original position.
The students' gazes followed the Dragon Breath tensely, and just as the breath was about to hit Gogoat, the Zephyrfly beside it suddenly flew forward and blocked Gogoat's path.
The Dragon Breath instantly enveloped the Zephyrfly, but it couldn't inflict any harm. Instead, it flowed around the Zephyrfly like river water encountering a massive boulder, naturally splitting and flowing past it.
Seeing this, the students were shocked.
"That's... Zephyrfly used Assist to block Wrapbug's Dragon Breath for Gogoat!"
"Could it be that Zephyrfly is a Fairy-type Pokemon?!"
The demonstration wasn't over yet. In the instant Zephyrfly blocked the Dragon Breath, Gogoat leaped high from behind it, its right claw clenched into a fist, and launched a surprise attack on Wrapbug.
Wrapbug felt an incredibly terrifying aura rushing towards it, as if the gaze of some ancient beast had locked onto it.
If it had hair, every strand on its body would have stood on end at that moment.
Instinctively, Wrapbug closed its eyes.
However, when the terrifying aura reached its face, it abruptly stopped.
Wrapbug was slightly startled, and when it cautiously opened its eyes, it found a huge fist hovering in front of it.
"Alright, that's enough!" Shizuru spoke up.
Gogoat retracted its fist and returned to Shizuru's side.
Shizuru turned his head and looked at the wide-eyed students, asking, "Everyone, did you notice anything?"
"I did!" exclaimed a young boy. "In double battles, it's not just about attacking opponents; Pokemon of different types can also work together based on type advantages to defend and protect their partners!"
"That's right, but even so, it's just the tip of the iceberg in double battles," Shizuru nodded and continued, "Pokemon abilities, types, moves, partners, and even the items they hold can all be combined to create greater effects through teamwork."
"So, the most important thing in double battles is to get to know your Pokemon partner, understand their abilities, and master their moves. Only then can we trainers formulate better strategies."
Seeing the students deep in thought, Shizuru smiled and continued, "Alright, for the rest of the time, feel free to do as you like! Whether it's learning about your partner's abilities and moves or engaging in double battles with others, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"Yes!"
At Shizuru's command, the students began trying various activities.
Shizuru sat on the grass, watching them with their vibrant energy.
At that moment, Shizuru couldn't help but think—if he had been a part of this world since birth, he might have chosen to become a trainer too? Traveling the world, encountering various Pokemon, challenging Gyms, participating in tournaments, and striving to become a Pokemon Master.
But if that were the case, he wouldn't have met Motolizard and Gogoat.
So, the present was better!
He ran a ranch, raising a group of adorable Pokemon, without the 996 work culture, and no need to rush around. He had a wise and beautiful wife and lovely children, and he looked forward to the future.
Gogoat and Zephyrfly stood on either side of Shizuru, accompanying him as they sat on the grass.
After observing the students, Shizuru's interest in the coastal zone's Pokemon ecosystem deepened.
Although the Pokemon ecosystem within the Ecosystem Egg was artificially created, the Pokemon seemed unaffected by human influence.
The long-necked Coco Palm stood tall on the grass, resembling a coconut tree at first glance, with several Eggling hopping around happily.
Forksnake and Weasel Slash patrolled their territories, keeping a vigilant eye on each other. If either intruded on the other's territory, a fierce battle would likely erupt.
These two Pokemon were renowned rivals in the Pokemon world.
Generation after generation, they had fought each other until memories of their battles were engraved in their cells. When they met, they would engage in warfare.
No one knew why the relationship between these two Pokemon had evolved into this state.
Even the most renowned scholars in the Pokemon world couldn't fathom it.
Additionally, there were Flower Heal fluttering in the flower beds and Flower Dancebirds gracefully dancing in the lush grass.
These Pokemon seemed familiar to the students, and even when someone approached them, they remained unperturbed.
Shizuru observed the surrounding Pokemon with great interest.
Just then, Danyu and Utsu suddenly broke away from the crowd and ran towards him. Danyu excitedly greeted him, "Mr. Shizuru!"
"Is that you, Danyu?" Shizuru looked at her and asked, "What's the matter? Did you encounter a problem?"
"No, it's not that!" Danyu shook her head repeatedly, then turned to her brother and urged, "Come on, say it! Don't you have something you want to tell Mr. Shizuru?"
Utsu gathered his courage and asked, "Mr. Shizuru, is... Ghoul Pom doing well with you?"
"So, it's about this!" Shizuru smiled and took out a Poke Ball from his pocket.
When he met Danyu and Utsu last week, he had anticipated what was happening now.
Given their personalities, he knew they would come to inquire about Ghoul Pom.
Therefore, Shizuru had specifically sought out Ghoul Pom before setting out this morning, telling it that two old friends wanted to see it.
Upon hearing that they were Danyu and Utsu from Beishang Village, Ghoul Pom readily agreed.
When Shizuru took out a new Poke Ball, a bright light shone in Danyu and Utsu's eyes.
The Pokemon inside that Poke Ball, could it be...! The next moment, a white light flashed, and a familiar figure appeared before the siblings.
"Poni~"
Looking at Ghoul Pom without its mask, Danyu widened her eyes, while Utsu stood in place, stunned.
"Mr. Shizuru, where is Ghoul Pom's mask?" Danyu couldn't help but ask.
"Poni?" Ghoul Pom looked at Danyu, then turned to Shizuru.
Shizuru smiled and said, "Ghoul Pom no longer needs its mask to hide its face because no one is afraid of it anymore."
Ghoul Pom nodded repeatedly, "Poni~!"
That's right! Everyone at the ranch is doing well! Even when it goes to town or festivals, people aren't afraid of it, and many children are willing to play with it! Seeing this, Danyu opened her mouth in surprise.
Meanwhile, Utsu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's great..." he murmured, moved by the sight.
With this, the "Ghost" could continue to live happily forever, right?
Utsu felt genuinely happy for Ghoul Pom from the bottom of his heart. Since he was young, he had always admired Ghoul Pom's strength and found it very cool that it could defeat Pokemon.
However, when he learned the true history of Beishang Village, his feelings changed to sympathy for Ghoul Pom's experience, and he hoped it could have a better life.
Fortunately, Mr. Shizuru captured Ghoul Pom, took it away from the saddening Beishang Village, brought it to a new place, and started a new life.
Even so, Utsu never forgot about the Ghost.
He often wondered how Ghoul Pom was doing in the Paldea Region and if it had adapted. With these thoughts, Utsu gradually grew up and became a Pokemon Trainer. He and his sister came to Blueberry Academy to study Pokemon and Trainer knowledge.
What he didn't expect was that he would encounter Mr. Shizuru here!
At this moment, looking at Ghoul Pom, who was always smiling happily, Utsu finally put his mind at ease.
Great! Everything was just perfect!
At noon, Shizuru finished work and rode his Gogoat back to the ranch.
Qi Shu and his sister Ai Guan Shi had prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Babutap, Regaleon, Frost Fairy, Martial Bearmaster, Melodutan, Grave Puppy, Motolizard, Pterafly, and other Pokemon were currently sitting around the dining table, waiting for them to eat.
Shizuru released Ghoul Pom and Zephyrfly from their Poke Balls.
The two Pokemon ran to the table on their own and happily started eating lunch.
Shizuru sat down at the table and looked around, asking, “Where's the baby?”
“She just had some milk and is now asleep. Don't worry! Emperor Flame, Water Lord, and Thunder God are guarding Little Tree, so there won't be any problems!” Qi Shu assured him.
Shizuru: “...Have they eaten?”
“Yes, I made them sandwiches, and I also gave them the energy cubes and Poke Fin you made before. Sister Ai Guan Shi also prepared Life Sheep Milk for them.” Qi Shu nodded.
“That's good.” Shizuru heaved a sigh of relief.
Speaking of Emperor Flame, Water Lord, and Thunder God, since they moved into the ranch, there have been three more pairs of chopsticks in the family.
Those three Pokemon ate a lot, and together, they almost exceeded Snorlax's appetite.
Shizuru felt helpless; perhaps this was the price of raising Legendary Pokemon!
