Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 15. Training
"I said, even if you don't mind if you ask me for help, isn't it a bit too outrageous to do so?"

On the second floor of the Pokémon Center, Yamei was pointing at Lu Qiu who was listening to the scolding with his head bowed.

Next to her, Ji Lidan is taking care of Xiangwei, who is wandering around as if drunk.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Qiu was a little embarrassed.

It's been too long since he tried it, and he forgot to think that Xiangweimaow would lose control of the sudden surge of power.

"Okay, okay, as long as no one is injured." A girl with pretty pink hair explained the situation to the trainers who went out to check, and then turned to Lu Qiu and said softly: "But next time, you can't stay in the room. Let Pokémon unleash its skills."

Lu Qiu couldn't help nodding.

"How can you be so careless." Ami looked at the cold mist still exuding in the room and wanted to complain.

"Leave it to Lucky Egg, Yami, don't blame him." The pink-haired girl smiled sweetly, "Rookie trainers have to grow up slowly."

Yamei looked at the girl, affected by that comforting smile, and finally sighed helplessly: "Ah Yue, at least let him clean up by himself."

Ah Yue, or Qiao Yiyue shook his head, "Leave it to me, Yamei, go and rest, the mayor called me away just now, it must have caused you a lot of trouble."

It's okay not to mention it, but it's even more troublesome for Yamei to mention it.

After bitterly spitting, Yamei looked at Lu Qiu who was admitting his mistake, hesitated to speak the words, and finally swallowed them back.

"By the way, this is all done by your Xiangwei cat?" After calming down, Yami looked at the frozen room, and couldn't help but marvel in her complaints: "This is no longer a level that new trainers can achieve. Alright."

indeed.

According to Lu Qiu's estimation, Xiangwei Cat's level should be around level ten, because it has rarely fought, so its level has not grown much over the years.

It's just that after the blessing of the Heart of Winter, the power of the ice-type skills released by it can probably be equivalent to the effect of thirty and above. The lower the level, the stronger the increase.

Similarly, the negative effects will be more obvious.

For example, Xiangweimaow seems to be drunk now, but in fact, after the coldness in its body subsides, it has a state similar to "fever".

In other words, it is to temporarily burn out the brain.

It is not uncommon to do anything in this state.

It was precisely because he knew that he might lose his composure that Xiang Weimao was hesitant about Lu Qiu's proposal.

For it, the last thing Lu Qiu wants to see is its helpless side.

Of course, as a trainer, Lu Qiu didn't know much about its psychology, so he deliberately avoided talking about it. He thought it was because Xiangwei Meow hated or even said he was afraid of accepting the power of Winter Heart.

after all
No one understood the pain it caused better than he did.

Under Joey's half-pushing and half-persuading insistence, Ami said hello and went back to the lounge with a yawn.

She had just been lying down when she was woken up just now.

"Okay, let's settle this quickly and go to rest." Qiao Yiyue put her hands on her hips and winked at Lu Qiu energetically.

With her help, Lu Qiu and Ji Lidan cleaned up the room together. Maybe this kind of precedent happened in the past, so the speed of cleaning up is not slow after being familiar with the road.

After a while, the frozen room returned to its original appearance, not even water stains were left on the walls.

It's just that the two aquatic flowers in the vase suffered an innocent disaster, and before leaving, they were asked by Ji Lidan to take them back for rescue.

After solving everything, Joey checked the alarm in the room again, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled and bowed to Lu Qiu and said, "Go to rest early, let's work hard for tomorrow's celebration performance."

"Auspicious auspicious~"

For the good boy who can clean the dining utensils by himself, Ji Lidan is holding the vase and cheering him up with a smile.

"Also." After going out, Qiao Yiyue suddenly poked half of his head back from the door, and added pretending to be distressed: "Really, really, don't let Pokémon release skills in the room, otherwise you won't even be able to use them. I'm going to teach you a lesson."

After finishing speaking, they grabbed their hands and waved lightly, and the nurse duo bid farewell and walked back downstairs together.

Even at night, someone needs help, and whenever someone needs help, Trainers can always find Joey at the information desk of the Pokémon Center.

This is the belief that the whole family abides by.

'Witness the growth of Pokémon and trainers, and take the initiative to lend a helping hand when needed. '

After gently closing the door, Lu Qiu sighed in relief.

He looked at Xiangweimaow, who had a silly smile on his face and was dazedly rubbing against his trouser legs, and he had no choice but to pick it up and put it on the bed.

Then, slowly pulled the quilt for him.

Logically speaking, at this time, the Pokémon should be retracted into the Poké Ball to rest.

I just don't know why, Xiangwei Miao is very disgusted with that kind of practice, and only reluctantly chooses to be taken back under the strong request of Lu Qiu in the past.

"Good night, Meow Xiangwei."

Putting his palm on the body of his partner next to him, he gently patted it until the sound of breathing from his ear began to be even and fast. Lu Qiu carefully lifted his body, took the things he bought from the celebration, and left quietly. room.

the next day.

In the early morning, Lu Qiu rubbed his hair sleepily.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Xiang Weimei's stern face.

"Morning, good morning?"

Under the full sense of oppression, Lu Qiu flinched and greeted the other party tentatively.

"Meow!"

Gentleness failed to bring Lu Qiu a good end.

Snapped!
There was a soreness in the nose.

"High-five surprise attack."

With a dizzy head, Lu Qiu had a weird smile on his mouth, and was patted back to sleep by a paw.

"Good morning?" Looking at Lu Qiu, both of whom had paper balls stuffed in their noses, Yamei, who was free, couldn't help laughing while hugging her stomach.

Not ladylike at all.

"How did you become like this?"

Faced with Yamei's ridicule, Lu Qiu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I didn't sleep well last night, and fell to the ground when I got up."

Xiangwei Meow on his shoulders shook his tail with a rather smug expression.

After breakfast, Lu Qiu found a training hall in the city according to Yamei's directions. After paying the deposit, he chose a room with formal trainer specifications and walked in.

This is usually intended to be used by Pokémon who challenge the strength of the gym.

The size of the training hall is moderate. The room is a quarter the size of a formal duel field. There is a mechanical stake in the innermost part, and there is a bright display screen on the wall next to it.

It has the remaining stamina of the stake and a calculator to count the power of moves.

The simulated object is Gyarados, which is considered by ordinary people to be the strongest water-type Pokémon.

"It's coming!"

After getting ready, Lu Qiu pointed to the stake and commanded, "Surprise attack with high fives!"

He decided to try the skill that Xiangwei Meow had just learned in the morning.

After responding, Xiangwei Miao sped towards the stake.

With the white light on the tail, it waved an afterimage, and slapped the wooden post from a distance at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.

The physical strength on the screen is reduced by a small amount.

'The power is not bad, there is still room for improvement after some exercise. '

Lu Qiu's eyes flashed when he saw this move.

Although the explanation of the skill is to attack first, it still depends on the Pokémon's own ability in general.

This surprise high-five attack did make Xiangwei Cat a lot faster, but if there was too much difference between him and his opponent, it would definitely not be able to achieve an absolute effect.

Make an assessment in your heart, and the next thing you are going to practice is the skills you need to use tonight.

"snowstorm."

In the state of rushing forward, Xiangwei Meow stopped her body abruptly, then firmly grasped the ground, and sprayed a cold white mist mixed with snowflakes at the stake.

The snowflakes were like knives, and bursts of frost and mist were blown with severe cold.

The stamina of the wooden stake was reduced by a large amount in an instant, and the power calculator beside it also showed the value that the official trainer's Pokémon should have.

In terms of power, it is indeed qualified.

But there is no sense of beauty in it, and compared with ordinary snowstorms, it has a little more unspeakable chilling meaning.

The coldness that freezes life can hardly make flowers feel good.

"One more time, this time when you release it, jump high and don't stop on the ground." Lu Qiu said seriously.

Xiangwei nodded.

Leaping forward again, he jumped into the air with all his might.

It's just exhaustion halfway, coupled with the focus on the "jump high" command, so that Xiangwei Mao forgot to release the skill for a while, and when he remembered it during the fall, he missed the best time in a hurry.

boom!
Xiangwei Meow stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Try again." Lu Qiu looked at it and commanded: "Stand up and continue to execute the last order."

Jump up, pounce, land and stand firm.

A blizzard of lost souls followed.

"Don't be afraid of falling, cheer up and meow to the end." Lu Qiu shouted.

The training process is painful.

Accompanied by the fall and delayed reaction, when No.13 jumped up, Xiangwei Cat successfully released the blizzard in the air.

' No, this release is nowhere near the culmination. '

Lu Qiu took out the stamina potion he bought from the owner of the training hall, and after feeding it to Xiang Weimao, he wanted to say something.

It's just that when he met the unwilling eyes, all words were blocked in his chest.

"Failed this time, try again."

He slowed down his tone, looked down at Xiangwei and said.

Gently pushed Lu Qiu away with his tail, and nodded vigorously to Wei Miao.

The time spent concentrating on training passed quickly, and the morning quietly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With the continuous supply of potions, Xiangwei Cat was finally able to release a blizzard at the highest point of every jump.

noon.

Since I bought the time until the evening in one breath, no one came in to disturb me on the way.

The value on the screen returned to zero several times, and Lu Qiu couldn't remember how many times Xiang Wei Miao had released his skills.

But looking at the wallet deflated like running water, I think the number of visits will never be low.

"Let's eat something." He unscrewed the kettle, pulled the chains in front of him slightly, sat down on the ground, and drank the liquid inside with his burning throat.

Next to him, Xiangwei Meow raised his foot and approached, quietly licking away the energy water in the lid of the pot, and his body would move vigorously following a heavy breath from time to time.

He didn't yell or yell, and he didn't know what he was insisting on.

Seeing its appearance, Lu Qiu somehow wanted to laugh.

He reached into his backpack and took out an iron box, took out a biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, then put it in front of Xiangwei.

"Give."

Xiangwei Miao looked up at the iron box, probed slightly and bit out a biscuit from it, chewed it and swallowed it.

Follow, with a hop of the tail.

In disbelief, it looked up slowly, just in time to see Lu Qiu's bright smile with a thumbs up:
"Delicious, right?"

District, district servant!
Angrily flicking Lu Qiu's tail, Xiang Weimao threw himself into the iron box.

It was a familiar taste that I hadn't eaten for a long time since I left home.

The eye belt gently stroked Xiangwei Meow.

Lu Qiu leaned his head against the wall, looked at the electric light above his head, swallowed hard and said, "The goal of the afternoon is to change the release form of the blizzard."

Xiangwei Meow paused.

Then continue to chew the biscuits with big mouthfuls.

"Meow."

'it is good. '
