You are not allowed to date a trainer.

Chapter 10 Registration Twists and Turns
The vine snake left, leaving Qin Zhen squatting on the ground alone, holding his forehead and gasping for breath.

The moment Qin Zhen met Teng Teng Snake's gaze, he felt a cold and sharp pain in his head, as if a hole was pierced between his eyebrows, and a cold wind was blowing in. The icy air was swirling in his skull, and every whistling sound of the wind was the resentful words "You will regret this".

—Was that... the vine snake talking just now? Can I understand what the elf is saying?
At this moment, a cold head came over. It was Milton.

This cowardly lizard didn't dare to come out of the carport until now. It gently touched Qin Zhen, then quickly raised its head and looked around for a long time. After making sure that there would not be a sudden whip, it lowered its head like a thief, slowly rubbed Qin Zhen's cheek, and made a worried cry in its throat.

"Ow?"

"Don't worry, Milton, I'm fine."

Taking advantage of the break in the conversation, Qin Zhen raised his head and made a brief eye contact with Milton's pixelated eyes, but nothing happened. Everything was so calm that people couldn't help but wonder if the tingling was just an illusion, but the impact at that moment could not be faked. Qin Zhen slowly stood up by holding the back of the big lizard, took a deep breath, and felt that there was still a buzzing sound deep in his mind.

So Milton became even more worried. He couldn't figure out what had happened to Qin Zhen. He only knew that his trainer suddenly looked very painful after looking at the Vine Vine Snake. He suspected that the snake had killed him because its courtship was rejected.

If it were a normal Pokémon, it would have rushed out madly at this time to fight to the death with the guy who hurt its trainer, but Milton was obviously not a normal Pokémon. It stuck to Qin Zhen and thought for a while, and finally turned its face to the side and showed Qin Zhen the dot matrix display screen on its right eye.

A moment later, an abstract pixel animation was refreshed on the dot matrix display: a little man riding a wooden stick with wheels was running in front, and a four-legged snake was chasing him aggressively from behind.

——Trainer, we can’t afford to offend that snake, so let’s run away as soon as possible.

Qin Zhen held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether to scold this useless lizard for being as cowardly as a mouse, or to praise it for being loyal and taking him with it when escaping.

"Run, run, run! Just run!"

Although it was a pity to miss the vine snake, Qin Zhen was the kind of person who would not hesitate or regret once he made a decision. He patted Milton's head in frustration, then hugged the big lizard's long neck tightly and waved his hand with great pride.

"Let's go! Let's go register!"

The registration office was easy to find, located in the lobby of the school office building. Since it was the last day of exchange week, when Qin Zhen and Millerton arrived, a long line of students bringing their elves to register had already formed, stretching out into the open space outside the office building.

Seeing so many people and elves, Milton became obviously uneasy. He quietly tucked his tail between his legs and hid behind Qin Zhen. Unfortunately, his huge body of four meters long still attracted a lot of attention.

Qin Zhen patted Millerton's head, comforted the useless lizard, and took it to the end of the team.

"Hey! Those of you who are planning to register as your initial partners, please look over here!"

A girl with a bob haircut came out of the hall, waving a stack of printer paper. Behind her was a water otter with a pen holder full of signature pens on its round head.

"I'm here to hand out application forms. Please fill them out while you're waiting in line. Then, when you go in and hand them in to the teacher, you can get your Poké Balls directly."

The girl distributed the forms very quickly and soon came to the end of the team where Qin Zhen and Millerton were. When she saw the boy and the lizard, she paused and blinked her big eyes.

"Qin Zhen?"

Qin Zhen had some impression of this face, but it was not a deep one. He only vaguely remembered that this girl should be in the same class as him, but he could not remember her name no matter how hard he tried.

But this did not bother Qin Zhen. He nodded at the girl and said in a calm and familiar tone, "Good morning."

"Qin Zhen, are you here to register as an initial elf?" "Yes."

"And your elf?"

This question stunned Qin Zhen. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the big lizard behind him.

"Classmate, can't you see this guy following me?"

"You mean...it?"

The girl looked at Milton behind Qin Zhen and fell into a strange silence.

After a few seconds, she turned to look at Qin Zhen, and said hesitantly: "Um... Qin Zhen, my Water Otter has a cousin who hasn't found a trainer yet. You should know that Water Otters like kind-hearted trainers the most. Why don't you think about it again? Anyway, the exchange week deadline is in the evening, so I can call that Water Otter out to meet you at noon today..."

——Why didn’t I realize before that all of my high school classmates have the potential to be matchmakers?

Qin Zhen felt somewhat helpless. He reached out to the man with the bob haircut. "I've thought it through. Can you give me a copy of the application form?"

"This……"

"Woof!"

A loud dog barking suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation. Qin Zhen turned his head and saw an orange shadow running out of the lobby of the office building and galloping towards this side along the team. Finally, the orange shadow stopped and squatted in front of Qin Zhen, wagging its big white tail wildly.

"Wow! It's Catwoman!"

The girl let out a low cry of surprise. She squatted down and wanted to touch the dog's head, but the Caterpillar dodged it by nimbly lowering its head. The puppy kicked its hind legs and suddenly rushed to Qin Zhen's legs, scaring Millerton, who was leaning on Qin Zhen's back, so much that he dared not move.

It seems that its owner did not lie, this dog really recognizes people.

Qin Zhen stared at the Cati dog circling around his legs without saying a word. He had a bad feeling at this time because he knew whose dog it was.

"Catie, come back!"

Sure enough, a familiar low growl came from deep in the lobby of the office building. The Growlithe paused, raised its head, rubbed Qin Zhen's knee reluctantly, then turned around and trotted back the way it came. Qin Zhen followed its back with his eyes until the tall old man slowly walked out from the shadows.

"Teacher Chen!?"

The girl with the bob haircut was shocked. She never expected to meet her homeroom teacher here.

At this time, Teacher Chen walked up to Qin Zhen with the puppy. He nodded at the girl, then turned his head and stared at Qin Zhen and Millerton with an extremely serious look.

"Good morning, Teacher Chen."

Qin Zhen bowed his head and greeted him, but he was secretly alert in his heart. The old man was speechless yesterday because of his words "we have already agreed on it", but he attacked again today. He must have thought of a countermeasure. The matter of Millerton might have twists and turns.
