Chapter 33 Garchomp: I feel like this guy's gaze is really rude...

Nemo's curious, gossipy gaze came from the left.

On the right are Zhu Lan's clear, deep gray eyes.

And standing behind her, the Garchomp was scrutinizing her with a critical gaze, occasionally rubbing its claws together and making a sharp grinding sound.

Sitting on the sofa, Qingyu felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

He then subconsciously reached out to grab Ibrahimovic, hoping to give his restless hands something to do.

however……

After searching in vain, Qingyu realized that Eevee was already being held in Cynthia's arms.

His skillful technique made him wonder who the real trainer was.

Ibrahimovic!!!

Even you have betrayed us?!

Qingyu was heartbroken; why did it seem like she was being isolated?

The neutral creature closest to her now is actually Bubo lying next to Nemo?
Seemingly sensing his gaze, Bubo suddenly jolted, stood up from the sofa, exchanged a glance with Qingyu, and immediately shrank behind Nemo.

"..."

The Azure Feather has sunk.

“This child has grown up so much, but it seems he still remembers me.”

Zhu Lan smiled gently and touched the Eevee lying on her lap.

"Buee~(//ω//)"

Eevee made an embarrassed sound and affectionately rubbed its little head against her palm.

"It's because you smell like one of its kind!"

Qingyu clicked her tongue, unwilling to admit that her tone sounded a little sour.

I've never even heard Eevee's voice so cute before!
It's quite normal for Eevee to remember Cyndaquil, since it hadn't moved away from God and Town when Cyndaquil hatched.

But if that's the case, then I know Garchomp too, right?

But why do I always feel like there's something... about the way Garchomp looks at me?

Killing intent?
Qingyu subconsciously looked over and met Garchomp's fierce gaze, immediately confirming her guess.

Why!

I even held you when you were little!
Well, actually, Qingyu can understand it...

In his memory, he had a good relationship with the newly hatched giblets.

Until one day, he noticed that the giblet's body was covered in dust and wrinkles, so he took it home and gave it a bath...

It almost scared it to death.

Later, he learned from Dr. Mustard, the grandmother of Bamboo Orchid, that not all sharks live in water.

So this is how I was born when I was little?
After staring at Garchomp for a few seconds, several lines of text gradually appeared in front of Qingyu's vision.

【Garuda (Female)】

[Type: Dragon + Ground]

[Characteristics: rough skin]

[Moves: Dragon Dive, Earthquake, Swords Dance, Outrage, Stone Strike, Dragon Claw, Poison Strike...]

[A very brave personality.]

tsk...

With such a flashy move list, the level must be ridiculously high, right?

When will I and Eevee ever reach this level?
Qingyu couldn't help but sigh, "Cyndaquil's skill level is so high that she's practically a chosen one in the entire Pokémon world."

She showed the ability to raise multiple Pokémon at the same time from a young age, and while majoring in mythology, she was also able to train a team of champions.

So terrifying.

But was Garchomp's original personality actually Brave?

I remember the effect of the brave personality in the game was...

Increase attack, decrease speed?

"Kaka!"

Cyndaquil's Garchomp frowned and instinctively let out a low growl with a warning tone.

I don't know why, but I always felt that this guy's gaze was rude...

I get angry just looking at you!

"Speaking of which, I never expected that Teacher Qingyu and Miss Zhulan were childhood sweethearts..." Just as Qingyu and Garchomp were gazing at each other affectionately, Nemo, who had been silently observing for a long time, couldn't suppress her curiosity and took the initiative to start the conversation.

Although Qingyu's overly absurd command ability and Eevee's displayed strength showed that he was no ordinary person, Nemo never expected that he would have such a close relationship with the Sinnoh champion who was thousands of miles away.

One is my teacher, the other is my idol...

Is there such a good thing?

Nemo's eyes were sparkling.

If she weren't afraid of giving Miss Zhulan a bad first impression, she probably would have already gone up to ask for an autograph.

"Although we're childhood sweethearts, we haven't seen each other for five years."

Zhu Lan nodded.

Her mere glance was enough to make Nemo blush and lower her head instantly.

What incredible personal charisma!

"I never imagined that Qingyu would become such a seasoned gym owner."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu, who had been observing Nemo's expression, was immediately stunned.

"Ah ha ha……"

The 18-year-old curator is indeed quite promising, but in reality, there are plenty of people like him in every region.

Therefore, it also depends on who is being compared.

"Compared to me, isn't that 'myth scholar' who debuted as a champion obviously more valuable?"

After all, the champion is a symbol of a region's prestige.

Even if she secures her position as gym leader, she's still worlds apart from Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion.

"I remember there's a Padiya Championship every year, right? Maybe you can become the Padiya Championship champion next year?"

Zhu Lan rested her chin on her hands, joking with great interest.

She knew that Padia's league system was slightly different from other regions, and the Road to Champions was open every year.

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

Qingyu waved her hand, saying that what she feared most was being bogged down in trivial matters and losing her freedom.

So being a museum owner is pretty good right now.

"If Nemo participates in the Road to Champions, maybe our Sunshine Dojo will actually produce a champion next year."

"Yeah, I'll try my best!"

After being unexpectedly given another dose of chicken soup by Qingyu, Nemo, which had been sunk by Zhulan's gaze, instantly regained its previous energetic state.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Lan couldn't help but smile.

They're both really bold—one dares to speak, and the other dares to accept it.

However, it seems that Qingyu has indeed recovered from the previous incident.

It seems my worries were unnecessary.

Now, let's get down to business.

"Whether your goal is to become the champion or a gym leader, you have to work hard together with your Pokémon."

After Zhu Lan finished speaking, she gently picked up Eevee from her arms and placed it on the sofa.

From their interaction just now, she could already sense that Qingyu's Eevee was extraordinary, with future potential that was no less than her own Glaceon.

but……

If you want to become stronger, having only one Pokémon is far from enough.

"If you want to become an excellent trainer, a group of like-minded partners are also essential."

"Whether a trainer can gain the recognition of excellent Pokémon is itself a reflection of their skill level."

"So, I brought a special child."

As she spoke, Zhu Lan took out a deluxe ball from her pocket.

"If you can gain its approval, it should be a great help to your gymnastics career, Qingyu, right?"

The trigger of the luxury ball was pulled by a finger, firing a striking red light.

His body was covered in blue-black, his face had black markings like a mask, and his red eyes were full of determination.

A Pokémon resembling a puppy appeared in the center of Qingyu's vision.

Every time I play through the main story of Pokémon, if I can catch Riolu and Ralts, I will definitely train them to be my main Pokémon.

Although this might not be enough to capture a Wifemon, Riolu is still a viable option~
