Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 498

Chapter 498 Reasons to become stronger

Groudon's next behavior completely verified the idea of ​​the bear apprentice.

 I saw its right foot slamming into the ground, and the strange lines on its body emitted a red light, like flowing magma.

 An extremely powerful energy was released from Groudon and poured into the earth.

The next second, a huge "Sword of Stone" thrust out from the ground and began to rush towards the location of the Bear Disciple at an extremely fast speed!

 “Bah!”

Looking at that terrifying scene, Disciple Xiong's inner alarm suddenly rang loudly.

If it were an ordinary Pokémon, it would probably give up fighting and run away because of this terrifying aura.

But Pokémon like Disciple Bear are born with a tenacious and unyielding spirit.

 They will train their spirits so that they will never flinch from the attacks of their opponents.

Seeing that the huge stone sword was about to come towards him, Disciple Xiong held his breath and fixed his target with firm eyes, and then he jumped to the side.

 Escaped!

However, the Stone Sword seemed to be equipped with an automatic navigation system. Seeing the bear apprentice dodge, it immediately changed its direction and continued to pursue it.

 “Boom, boom, boom!”

The sound of the earth cracking continued to sound, and in the blink of an eye, the huge "Sword of Stone" formed a circle, trapping Disciple Xiong in it.

The air is filled with the smell of hot sulfur, and the energy of the earth has not yet escaped from the Cliff Sword. Heat waves are constantly rising, and the surrounding space seems to be burned into a blur.

  Primitive Return Groudon opened his golden pupils, raised his head to the sky and let out an ancient roar, releasing his coercion and terrifying power to his heart's content.

 After a moment, Groudon seemed to calm down.

 It looked at the tiny bear apprentice with admiration.

 Unexpectedly, this little guy showed no fear in the face of its pressure, and was able to avoid it while maintaining a calm attitude.

 Not bad!

“Little guy, am I better than that guy?” Groudon asked.

What it just did seems to be to show its powerful strength to the bear apprentice, so as to overwhelm Oka.

 Naoki: “…”

 Sure, this is very Groudon.

Apprentice Bear also understood the specific meaning of what this Pokémon did just now.

 A drop of speechless sweat could not help but appear on its forehead, and it turned back to look at Naoki: "Hey..."

These two Pokémon are really not very good at dealing with each other, right?

Zhi Shu comforted: "That's their business and has nothing to do with us. You just need to learn their skills carefully."

Hearing this, Groudon looked at Naoki and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

 But it didn't know what it thought of, and decisively closed its mouth.

It feels so uncomfortable to be under someone else's roof...

Um? Naoki noticed Groudon peeking at him: "What's wrong? Groudon?"

Groudon immediately shook his huge head.

If it expresses its inner thoughts, with this human character, it will definitely let it go...

 If it leaves, it will never come back.

There is probably no place in the world that is more comfortable than here.

Groudon had an image in his mind of his arch-rival Kyogre enjoying peace and quiet on the World Tree, absorbing natural energy with a happy face, while it was crying alone in a remote volcano.

Groudon decisively chose to pretend to be stupid.

 It turned its attention back to Disciple Bear, and then said to it:

 “Come and fight me!”

Disciple Xiong was confused: "Huh?!"

It plays Gu Ladu? real or fake?

Groudon: "Don't you dare?"

Hearing this, Disciple Xiong immediately shook his head, his eyes gradually becoming determined.

 “Bah!”

"very good."

The next second, Groudon burst out with an extremely strong earth energy, and the familiar sword of the earth thrust out again.

 The bear apprentice began to run quickly, avoiding Groudon's attack while rushing towards it.

Seeing that the bear apprentice was about to approach him, Groudon narrowed his eyes.

 The next second, a huge cliff sword thrust out from the feet of the bear apprentice and pushed it up into the air.

 Apprentice Xiong instantly lost his ability to fight.

Zhishu frowned, ran forward quickly, checked the condition of the bear apprentice, and then used the power of Viridian to help heal its injuries.

Green light surged in Zhishu's palm, and pure natural energy gathered crazily into Disciple Xiong's body.

In the blink of an eye, Disciple Xiong woke up.

 “Bah…”

 Compared to Kyogre's special training, Groudon's special training is too simple and crude. You can increase your experience and hone your skills by fighting against it.

 For Pokémon like Disciple Bear, this method is undoubtedly the most suitable.

 But the problem is that Groudon is too powerful.

 With Disciple Xiong's current strength, he has no chance of winning.

 After thinking for a moment, Naoki said to Groudon: "Groudon, try another way!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Disciple Xiong came from behind him: "Hey!"

Naoki was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Do you want to continue challenging Groudon?"

 “Yeah!” Disciple Xiong nodded firmly.

Zhishu lowered his head and looked at Disciple Xiong.

 “…Okay.” Naoki compromised.

 In a way, this is also the Pokémon's own choice.

Just like Xiaozhi's Charizard, he chose to stay in the Charizard Valley in order to increase his strength, where he practiced by constantly fighting against other Charizards.

"I understand." Naoki nodded: "In that case, I will stay with you here!"

With the power of Viridian and the life milk of the mount goat, coupled with the presence of the Phoenix King, the bear apprentice can recover immediately no matter how serious the injury is.

 “Yeah!” Seeing that the trainer was willing to respect him, apprentice Xiong nodded happily.

 The warrior instinct in the body makes it want to fight against the strong!

 Apprentice Xiong rushed out again.

Zhi Shu stood behind and watched this scene. Kyogre taught the bear apprentice the theory and helped it understand the secret of water.

Groudon trains his apprentice bear in a practical way, allowing him to put the theories he has learned into practice.

 In a sense, the mortal enemies of Groudon and Kyogre are really the most perfect partners in the world.

 It is precisely because of their existence that the earth and the ocean can evolve into what they are today, and both are indispensable.

 Without Groudon, this world will become a sea of ​​doom.

 Without Kyogre, this world will become an endless purgatory.

 Apprentice Xiong fell down again and again and stood up again and again.

Zhishu continued to use the power of Viridian and the milk of life to help it regain its strength.

 In the end, even Groudon's expression changed.

 The way it looked at Disciple Bear was no longer as casual as it was at the beginning, but full of seriousness.

There is no doubt that this legendary Pokémon was impressed by the perseverance of the bear apprentice. Groudon recognized the bear apprentice.

 At night, the bear disciple, who had practiced hard all afternoon, ate the food prepared by Zhishu.

 Its hard-working look shocked all the Pokémon in the ranch.

The Frost Milk Fairy, the Motorized Lizard, the Kuailong, the Ai Guanshi, and the Eevee gathered around the dining table and all turned their attention to the Bear Disciple who was eating a big meal.

 “Huh?”

Apprentice Bear noticed everyone's gazes, and immediately raised his head to look at the group of Pokémon, with a puzzled expression on his face.

 “Buyi?” (You have been fighting non-stop all afternoon, aren't you tired?)

The Eevees asked curiously.

 Apprentice Xiong thought about it carefully, and then replied happily: "Yeah!" (I'm not tired! I'm just so hungry! Naoki's rice is so delicious! I can eat two more bowls!)

Kailau was shocked, this Pokémon can eat better than it!

 “Ouch…” (I have a big appetite…)

 Apprentice Xiong replied seriously: "Yeah!" (Only by eating well, the body will become stronger and the strength will become greater!)

Even Zhui Yifa was shocked by Disciple Xiong's appetite.

It was not in the mood to hang around here, so it hurriedly ran to the refrigerator and checked the food inside, as if it was worried that it would starve if the food reserves were not enough.

 The Frost Milk Fairy was also shocked.

This Pokémon puzzled it so much that Frostmilk couldn't help but ask what it didn't understand.

 “Mama?” (Why do you have to train so hard?)

 “Huh?” Disciple Xiong's attention was attracted by this question.

　　It looked at Frosty Milk Fairy, and thought seriously for a moment on its little face, and then replied: "Yeah!" (Because it can turn into a more powerful Pokémon!)

Frost Milk Fairy was even more puzzled: "Mama?" (Why do you want to become a more powerful Pokémon?)

 “Huh?”

Apprentice Bear scratched his head, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the answer to this question either...

 Why do you want to become stronger?

Since it can remember, it has been practicing hard and studying its moves day by day.

After thinking about it for a while, Disciple Xiong replied: "Yeah!" (Because it will become very powerful!)

Frost Milk Fairy: “…”

"Okay, okay." Naoki said with a smile: "Every Pokémon in this world pursues different goals."

“For example, some Pokémon like to live with their trainers, and they will stay with their trainers, eating, walking, working, and sleeping with them every day.”

“Other Pokémon dream of becoming more powerful Pokémon. They will travel with human trainers, challenge gyms, and reach the top of the world.”

“There is no special reason for all this, just because they like it. Apprentice Bear practices hard because he likes the feeling of becoming stronger, so he is not afraid of pain or tiredness.”

“This kind of Pokémon is really charming!” Naoki couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bear apprentice who was eating a big meal.

 Serious Pokémon are the cutest!

Disciple Xiong nodded his head happily: "Yeah!"

Frost Milk Fairy seemed to understand.

 After a while, it also thought of its favorite thing: "Mama!" (I don't want to become stronger, I want to live with Naoki!)

ˆ Babu Tubo also nodded: "Bamo!" (Me too!)

Motor Lizard also said: "Gah!"

 “Ah gah!”

Seeing everyone's appearance, the bear apprentice looked at these Pokémon and then at Naoki.

 “Bah!” (I also want to live with Naoki!)

“Yeah, we all live together.” Naoki said with a smile.

He looked at Fluttershy Fa who was leaning in front of the refrigerator and looked in, and couldn't help but said silently:

“Zhuyifa, stop looking, the food has not been eaten by the bear disciples. In addition to the refrigerator, there is also a lot of food in the storage room!”

"Dream?"

Fluttering hair poked his head out of the refrigerator.

Then the apprentice bear realized that it was because he ate too much, causing the Pokémon named Flapping Hair to worry that it had eaten up all the food!

 “Bah!”

Disciple Xiong stopped what he was doing in embarrassment.

It doesn't seem to eat much, right?

 Naoki: “…”

 “Don't worry, eat, I'll make sure you have enough!” Naoki assured, patting his chest.

 In order to reassure Zhen Yifa, he got up and took Zhen Yifa to the storage room at home.

There were the food and drinks that Naoki had specially prepared before.

 Sausage, cheese, bacon, wheat bread, pickled radish, salted fish, dried tree fruits, brewed wine…

“See? So you don't have to worry about the food being eaten up.” Zhi Shu said to Zhu Yifa.

"Dream!"

Zhan Yifa nodded with bright eyes, a hundred hearts relieved.

 Zhi Shu closed the door of the storage room and returned to the restaurant with Zhu Yifa.

 Disciple Xiong looked at Zhan Yifa embarrassedly.

Zhenyifa also noticed the look in its eyes. Thinking of the room full of food, Zhuyifa said: "Dream!" (Eat!)

After an afternoon of special training during the day, although the injuries on his body were healed by the power of Changpan, Disciple Xiong's body became dirty and covered with dust.

 After dinner, Naoki took Disciple Xiong to take a bath.

 Fill the basin with warm water, then put the bear apprentice in, wait until the fur is wet, and then apply shower gel.

 Finally, rinse the foam off your body, and a fragrant bear apprentice will be born.

"Okay!" Zhi Shu touched the bear apprentice's head: "Go to the fireplace, the lava worms will help you dry your fur."

 “Bah~”

Apprentice Bear was a little embarrassed, but Naoki wanted to help him take a bath, and it was hard for him to refuse.

Hearing this, apprentice Xiong ran away quickly.

Zhi Shu poured out the dirty water. When he walked out of the bathroom and came to the room, he saw Gu Ledun pretending to be serious.

 Naoki: “?”

Seeing Gulton's appearance, Naoki realized belatedly that the most charming thing about the serious Pokémon he said at dinner was listened to by Gulton.

Although Guluton looked silly, Naoki still cooperated to coax the child:

“Wow, which Pokémon is this? Why is it so handsome today?”

He had never heard Naoki say such a thing before, so Luton immediately became embarrassed.

 “Ah gah!” it replied coyly.

Zhi Shu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you play here for a while, and I'll come back after I go to the tavern to help Sai Fuhao and my brother Ai Guanwei clean up."

 “Ah gah!”

 Huluton immediately expressed his intention to go together.

 “Okay, let's go together.”

One person and one Pokémon came to the tavern, and the guests here had almost left.

Zoki helped his brother Aoi and Saifuhao clean up the tableware for the Pokémon guests. After everything was completed, the time came to eleven o'clock in the evening.

 The hair on the bear apprentice's body has been dried by the lava worms.

 It is sitting in its den waiting for Naoki to come back.

 Today's work is all done and I can finally go to bed and rest!

 The Eevee brothers have all fallen asleep.

Zhi Shu also took off his clothes and went to bed to rest. After saying good night to his apprentice Bear, Guluton and several Pokémon, he turned off the lights.

Tomorrow, he will set out to the Temple of the Deadwood in Little Key Town to remove the seal of the ancient slip.
