Chapter 686: Little Tree's Growth and Little Qing's Visit
Chapter 686: Little Tree's Growth and Little Qing's Visit
"Are you ready?" Shizuru asked.
"I'm ready!" Little Tree clenched her fists, her face filled with determination.
Beside her, Charmander, Minin Dragon, and Totten Turtle also struck confident poses, echoing Little Tree's enthusiasm.
Shizuru: "..."
Totten Turtle, please don't cause any more trouble.
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Adek burst into laughter, "Good, you're full of energy! Since you're so eager to learn, Little Tree, let's begin right now!"
"Yay!" Little Tree and the Pokemon beside her cheered.
The lesson was set to take place in an open area within the farm.
Adek crossed his arms, and Hun floated by his side.
Little Tree held Charmander and Minin Dragon as they stood across from him.
Shizuru, Gogoat, Combee, and the other Pokemon watched from the side.
"Before we start training Charmander, we should first understand some information about it," Adek said slowly. "Little Tree, do you know what traits Charmander has?"
Little Tree immediately raised her hand, "Flame Body and Insect Intuition! Dad told me about this before!"
"That's right!" Adek nodded. "When Charmander enters a battle state, the fire power within its body surges out, covering it. When an opponent's Pokemon comes into contact with it, they'll be scorched by its terrifying flames."
"And Insect Intuition significantly boosts the attack power of Charmander's Bug-type moves. The more its HP is reduced, the stronger its Bug-type power becomes. In this state, Charmander can unleash powerful Bug-type moves."
"So, Little Tree, do you know which trait your Charmander has?" Adek asked, looking at Little Tree and Charmander.
Little Tree carefully recalled her training and battle experiences with Charmander.
During those times, Charmander's body would become extremely hot.
Once, after a battle, when she tried to touch Charmander, she almost got burned.
"It's Flame Body!" Little Tree replied.
"It seems you know Charmander well!" Adek smiled, "Yes, its trait is Flame Body."
"As a Fire-type and Bug-type Pokemon, Charmander has an advantage when battling Steel-type, Grass-type, Ice-type, Fairy-type, Fighting-type, and Bug-type Pokemon. In these situations, Charmander's attacks often deal frightening damage to its opponents."
"But with advantages come disadvantages. When Charmander faces Flying-type, Rock-type, and Water-type Pokemon, it's at a severe disadvantage."
"As a qualified Trainer, you shouldn't let your Pokemon only fight advantageous battles. When facing a disadvantage, you should use their other moves to counter."
"Haha, of course, it's a bit early to talk about this now. For now, the most important thing for Charmander is to train its flames, to exercise its fire."
"When its flames reach a certain temperature, it will evolve into the legendary Fire God."
"As for the method to train Charmander's flame intensity... I, your uncle, just happen to have a secret technique." Adek said with a smile.
In his life, he had guided many young Trainers, including Lian Wu, but he had never met a Trainer who also used Charmander.
Because of this, this secret technique had never been passed down.
But now, Little Tree had appeared.
His secret technique would surely flourish in Little Tree's hands, allowing that Charmander to grow into an even more powerful champion-level Hun!
If Little Tree weren't Shizuru's daughter, Adek would even consider taking her as his personal disciple and nurturing her by his side.
Unfortunately, she is Shizuru's daughter, and Shizuru would personally help her train the Pokemon around her.
However, it didn't matter; with their relationship, even without taking her as a disciple, he was more than willing to share his knowledge freely.
"Little Tree, you must listen carefully!" Adek said.
Little Tree frowned, looking troubled, "Uncle Adek just said a lot, and I haven't remembered it all..."
Adek burst into laughter, "Don't worry, I've already written down all this knowledge in this book. If you forget something later, you can refer to the book, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime."
As he spoke, Adek took out a red-covered notebook.
It was clear that he had prepared thoroughly before coming to the Paldea region.
Little Tree took the book from Adek's hand, feeling overwhelmed by his kindness.
"Little Tree, thank your uncle."
"Shizuru reminded him.
Little Tree finally snapped out of her daze, "Thank you, Uncle!"
Adek burst into laughter, then reached out and patted Little Tree's head, "I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll become when you grow up!"
"Mmm! Little Tree and everyone will work hard together!" Little Tree nodded vigorously.
Shizuru stood by, smiling as he watched this scene.
Adek stayed at the ranch for nearly a month.
During this time, Little Tree and Skrelp trained under Adek's guidance.
With the guidance of a professional Trainer, Adek's secret techniques, and Shizuru's culinary skills, Skrelp's strength increased rapidly.
On a clear day, Shizuru personally tested the intensity of Skrelp's flames.
He found that compared to a month ago, Skrelp's flame temperature and strength had increased by at least three times! To achieve such progress in a month was truly terrifying.
Perhaps this was also because Skrelp had hatched from the Breed Tree House.
"Dad, how is it?" Little Tree asked eagerly, hugging Skrelp.
"Later, I'll definitely thank you properly, Uncle Adek," Shizuru said, giving him a thumbs-up.
"Mmm!"
With that, Little Tree's kindergarten life was busy and fulfilling.
Every morning and afternoon, Shizuru would send her to kindergarten to learn letters and basic knowledge, and then she would return to the ranch for a nap.
In the afternoon, after school, she would train hard with Skrelp.
In the evening, Little Tree would sleep while hugging Minin Dragon, using King Dravetz to help Minin Dragon enhance its strength.
Although Minin Dragon was envious of Skrelp's progress, it didn't feel jealous; instead, it trained even harder, determined to catch up.
This wasn't an unattainable goal; with King Dravetz, it would eventually surpass Skrelp.
As the temperature gradually rose, the sound of cicadas filled the air in the mountains, and the river's gurgling marked the arrival of a hot summer.
Kindergarten was on summer vacation.
On this day, as Little Tree listened to Combee's stories about Kamono in the ranch, an unexpected guest arrived, surprising Shizuru.
Standing under the eaves, Shizuru stared at the girl with the Gogoat, momentarily stunned.
It was... Xiao Qing.
"Mr. Shizuru, sorry to disturb you!" Xiao Qing bowed politely.
Little Tree hid behind Shizuru, curiously observing this unfamiliar big sister.
After a brief moment of surprise, Shizuru regained his composure and invited her in.
"Please come in!"
Xiao Qing thanked him again and entered the living room with the Gogoat.
As soon as the Gogoat entered, it immediately sensed a terrifying yet familiar aura.
It shivered and turned its head, only to see the Gogoat that had once fought four others staring at it with its golden pupils.
"Ah..."
The Gogoat shrank back behind Xiao Qing in fear.
"Gogoat, calm down," Shizuru said, looking at his Gogoat.
The Gogoat finally suppressed the aura.
"I'm sorry, your Gogoat had some issues with mine in Area Zero," Shizuru explained.
Xiao Qing was momentarily unsure of what to do, but after thinking for a moment, she took out a Poke Ball and recalled the Gogoat.
Ayumi, the younger sister, served tea to the guest.
"What brings you here today?" Shizuru asked.
Xiao Qing nodded, "Well, Mr. Shizuru, I heard from the Chief about what you did in Area Zero, and I've come to ask you about the origins of Tai Jing Hua."
In the notes of Dr. Orلين, there was a girl with a Gogoat and a girl with a Totten Turtle...
The next moment, Little Tree turned her head, "Dad, I want to go to Kamono, too! Combee said there's delicious sticky cake!"
"Boni~!" Combee nodded repeatedly, but then, her face showed a hint of sadness.
In the past, when her master was around, they would often bring back sticky cakes from town for her to eat.
"Boni..."
Combee suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the place she used to live with her master.
"Please, Dad?" Little Tree pleaded.
Shizuru: "..."
He sighed softly, but didn't say more. Instead, he stood up and took a book with a white cover from the bookshelf.
He handed the book with the white cover, Zhu Zi zhi Shu, to Xiao Qing and said to her:
"Take this book to the Dazzling Pool in Kamono! You'll find the answers you seek there."
Looking at the book, Xiao Qing was slightly startled, but quickly recovered and thanked him, "I understand, thank you very much, Mr. Shizuru!"
"Also, there's something else I'd like to ask of you," Shizuru said.
"What is it?"
"This is my daughter, her name is Little Tree. I hope you can take her with you to Kamono and look after her." Shizuru requested.
Seeing her father's agreement, Little Tree was thrilled, "I love you so much, Dad!"
Then, she turned to Xiao Qing and asked, "Big sister, I'm Little Tree. Are you a Trainer too?"
Xiao Qing was taken aback and nodded, "Yes."
A burst of light flashed in Little Tree's eyes, "Shall we have a Pokemon battle?"
Shizuru: "..."
He reached out and pulled Little Tree back, saying, "Okay, Little Tree. This time, I promise you. You and Combee will go to Kamono to see where she used to live, and this big sister will take care of you on the way. Yandi, Suijin, and Kaminari will accompany you as well."
Little Tree looked at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing introduced herself, "Hello! I'm Xiao Qing!"
"Hello, Big Sister Xiao Qing!" Little Tree's eyes were full of anticipation, "Let's go to Kamono together!"
The next day, with the summer vacation, Little Tree, accompanied by Xiao Qing, set off on a journey to Kamono with Totten Turtle, Skrelp, Minin Dragon, Combee, Yandi, Suijin, and Kaminari.
Shizuru stood in the farm, watching their figures disappear into the distance.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Perhaps he could go with them, meet Dr. Orلين, and tell her everything.
But Shizuru was afraid because he didn't know which point in time Dr. Orلين was from. If something went wrong, it could lead to changes in the past, affecting the future, and causing everything to disappear.
This was a difficult decision.
Shizuru didn't snap out of his thoughts until Little Tree and Xiao Qing's figures had faded into the distance.
The Gogoat beside him seemed to sense Shizuru's feelings and said, "Ah gah!"
It had never blamed Shizuru.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of all the experiences that the current life seemed so precious.
Regardless, it had returned to Shizuru's side.
Shizuru snapped out of his thoughts, took a deep breath, and then slowly said,
At 5 p.m., Little Tree and Xiao Qing arrived in Crescent Town by bus and checked into a hotel in town.
Xiao Qing sat on the sofa, flipping through the book with the white cover, occasionally glancing at Little Tree, who was taking care of Skrelp and Minin Dragon on the side, and the three Legendary Pokemon lying next to her with loving expressions.
Xiao Qing: "..."
This child is only six years old this year, right? Even Xiao Qing, who had become a Champion, couldn't help but feel astonished.
At this moment, only one thought filled her mind.
—As expected of Mr. Shizuru, the number one person in Paldea, arranging such a luxurious Pokemon team for his daughter.
Combee was Shizuru's Pokemon, and Skrelp and Minin Dragon were not mentioned, but the three Totten Turtles and the three Legendary Pokemon were enough.
Yandi, Kaminari, and Suijin...
At that moment, Little Tree finished feeding Skrelp and Minin Dragon. She noticed Xiao Qing's gaze and couldn't help but ask,
"Big Sister Xiao Qing, can we have a Pokemon battle?"
Xiao Qing was slightly startled, then nodded, "Of course!"
"That's great!" Little Tree was thrilled. She quickly stood up, grabbed Xiao Qing's arm, and said, "Let's go now!"
