Pokémon: Master System.

Chapter 119 Grade A Dragon Scales

Xia Yu and Long Yanning argued for a long time, but in the end Xia Yu could not stop Long Yanning. She insisted on helping Xia Yu hatch Ya Ya, saying that she had persisted for so many days and could not give up at the last moment.

Three days later, Ya Ya successfully hatched, while Long Yan Ning grew increasingly thin and haggard, which was heartbreaking.

Axew's final evolution is Haxorus, which has always been a highly popular Pokémon, enjoying great popularity in both games and anime.

In the anime, Haxorus is Iris's ace Pokémon among the eight masters. Although it is not a pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, it possesses strength that is no less than that of pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

In the game, Haxorus has one of the highest Attack stats among all Pokémon. Excluding legendary and Ultra Beasts, among all non-Mega Evolutions, only Slaking, Hammerdragon, Galarian Darmanitan (Darman Mode), and Dolphin (Omni Mode) have higher Attack stats than Haxorus.

Slaking goes without saying; its base stats are ridiculously high, far exceeding those of ordinary Pokémon. However, its Sloth ability limits its effectiveness. As for Hammerdragon, apart from its powerful physical attack, its other abilities are not very good.

The remaining Galarian form of the Daruma baboon needs to transform, and Dolphin Man also needs to transform, both of which have limitations.

However, Haxorus is different. With a high Attack stat of 147, it also has the powerful Mold Breaker ability. In addition, it can learn the Dragon Dance move and has a decent Speed ​​stat of 97, making Haxorus a popular choice in battles. The only drawback is that its Dragon-type STAB moves have very poor coverage, which puts the single-type Haxorus at a slight disadvantage.

Looking at the lively and energetic Aya in front of him, Xia Yu felt a mix of emotions. He gently touched Aya's forehead and put it into its Poké Ball. At this point, Xia Yu was only one step away from completing the Dragon-type Pokémon Master quest.

The six A-grade dragon scales rewarded by the system arrived immediately. Xia Yu did not hesitate and immediately equipped the three dragon-type Pokémon with A-grade dragon scales. Since Charmeleon and Grovyle did not have dragon type, Xia Yu did not equip them with A-grade dragon scales. Now Xia Yu has three A-grade dragon scales left.

Looking at the three Grade A dragon scales in his hand, he took one out to give to Long Yanning, keeping the other two as spares. However, Xia Yu felt that giving only one Grade A dragon scale was not enough to express his gratitude to Long Yanning.

Xia Yu felt he had to give something else, but what did he have that he could offer?

After much deliberation, Xia Yu finally decided to give Cotton Ball's Pokémon egg to Teacher Long. He didn't have anything else to offer, and since Cotton Ball's Pokémon egg hadn't hatched yet due to the influence of the dense dragon-type energy around it, giving it to Teacher Long would be perfect.

Xia Yu always adhered to one principle: he could not let those who truly cared about him suffer. He believed that one should not live just for oneself.

Since Teacher Long has been so kind to him, Xia Yu is willing to give him this precious Cotton Ball fairy egg. The care between friends and family is mutual; one can't always enjoy the kindness of family without ever giving back.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu thought of his older brother again. He still had one selection spot left, and he wanted to use it to choose a powerful Fire-type Pokémon for his brother!

…………

As night fell, Xia Yu, carrying two gift boxes, skillfully entered Teacher Long's house. Teacher Long was lying lazily on the sofa, listlessly watching TV. After Xia Yu entered the house, he changed his shoes and then placed the gift boxes on the table.

For convenience, Xia Yu bought herself a pair of slippers, and Teacher Long didn't object, or perhaps he saw them but pretended not to.

Long Yanning has now gotten used to Xia Yu coming to her house. Xia Yu comes to cook for her every day, three meals a day. At first, she strongly objected, but after three days, she has gradually gotten used to Xia Yu's cooking.

Although she would still tell Xia Yu not to come after each meal, she would not cook or prepare food at mealtimes. Instead, she would wait for Xia Yu to come, cook the food, and call her to eat.

This made Xia Yu slightly disdainful. Women really are all two-faced creatures; they clearly wanted him to do it, but they wouldn't say so. However, Xia Yu was willing to do it. Compared to Teacher Long's help, what he did was just a drop in the ocean.

"Go train in the yard," Xia Yu said, releasing five Pokémon.

"tooth!"

The other Pokémon obediently went to the yard, but Axew, which Xia Yu had released, ran affectionately to Long Yan Ning's side and rubbed against her. It was more familiar with Long Yan Ning than with Xia Yu, its master, and it had a deep memory of the human who saved its life.

"Ya Ya, go train in the yard, don't disturb Teacher Long's rest," Xia Yu called out to Ya Ya.

"tooth!"

Hearing Xia Yu's command, Ya Ya affectionately rubbed against Long Yan Ning's palm before reluctantly running to the yard to train.

Long Yan Ning has a double-axe war dragon, and now she is fully taking on the role of Ya Ya's elder.

…………

An hour later, the food was ready, and a faint aroma filled the air. Long Yanning, who was lying on the sofa, smelled the aroma and secretly swallowed.

"time to eat."

She only managed to get up with difficulty and walk to the restaurant when Xia Yu called her.

Long Yanning immediately noticed the two gift boxes on the table, one large and one small, which had clearly been carefully packaged.

Since Xia Yu brought these two gifts here, they were obviously for her. Long Yan Ning was overwhelmed with emotion, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and pretended not to see the gifts on the table.

"This is a gift for you," Xia Yu said. "Thank you for taking care of me all this time, Teacher Long."

"What is this? Why did you suddenly decide to give me a gift?" Long Yanning asked, taking a sip of her porridge.

"Just open it and you'll know," Xia Yu said with a smile.

"I don't want it." Long Yanning kept her eyes on the gift box, but said no.

Xia Yu watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips. The more he spent with Teacher Long, the more he realized that Long Yan Ning was actually quite arrogant. Yes, arrogant.

Despite her aloof and sophisticated appearance, she's actually quite proud and arrogant at heart. She clearly really wants the gift, but she keeps saying she doesn't.

"Open it." Xia Yu stuffed the gift box into Long Yanning's hands, and she reluctantly took the gift box and began to open it.

The first small gift box contained Grade A dragon scales. When Long Yan Ning opened the gift box and looked at the glittering Grade A dragon scales, she frowned slightly.

"Dragon scale?" Long Yanning picked up the dragon scale and examined it carefully, but her brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Is this a Grade A dragon scale?" Long Yan Ning looked at Xia Yu with a serious expression and asked earnestly.

"Yes." Xia Yu nodded honestly, not intending to hide it from Teacher Long.

"Why are you giving this to me? Your Pokémon need this dragon scale more, especially Axew and Dragapult. The dragon scale can accelerate their growth." Long Yanning looked at Xia Yu seriously and said, "I don't want this. You can take it back."

Seeing Long Yanning's serious expression, Xia Yu had already prepared his words. He said in a low voice, "I went to the underground black market again last weekend and found some treasures. There are six A-grade dragon scales, including those of a buzzing bat, a multi-dragon, and a toothy one. You can keep them."

"Really?" Long Yanning looked doubtful, clearly not believing Xia Yu: "You bought so many?"

"You can go and see for yourself if you don't believe me," Xia Yu said.

"I'll go take a look." Long Yanning clearly didn't believe Xia Yu's words, and prepared to go to the courtyard to check.

Chapter 120 The Defending Trainer

After confirming that each of Xia Yu's Dragon-type Pokémon possessed an A-rank dragon scale, Long Yan Ning agreed to accept the A-rank dragon scale. As a Dragon-type Pokémon Master, the importance of an A-rank dragon scale to her was self-evident, and she was quite pleased.

She then turned her attention to the large gift box, opened it, and took a look.

"Isn't this the fairy egg from the cotton ball you chose? Why are you giving it to me?" Long Yanning asked.

"Just accept it, it's a great find. This cotton ball has excellent potential. I noticed your team doesn't have a support character, so this would be perfect for you," Xia Yu said with a smile, but his heart was bleeding.

Do you know how powerful this Pokémon is?!

"Don't you know I'm a Dragon-type Trainer? And you even gave me a Fairy-type Cotton Ball." Long Yanning said to Xia Yu.

“Dragon-type trainers only need three Dragon-type Pokémon; there are no requirements for the other three,” Xia Yu said. “These are Pokémon eggs that I carefully selected; please accept them.”

"Okay." Long Yanning didn't actually have high expectations for this Pokémon egg, after all, Xia Yu had only bought it for tens of thousands of yuan from the black market. But Fairy-type Pokémon were cute too. She actually wanted to try raising a Fairy-type Pokémon, just like having a pet.

"Let's eat," Xia Yu said after seeing Long Yanning accept the gift.

…………

A month later.

Time passed quickly, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye. After a month of training, Xia Yu's five Pokémon, except for Axew, which was only a month old and still a rare-level Pokémon, had all reached the elite level. It can be said that they had made rapid progress. However, after reaching the elite level, the growth rate slowed down significantly. For example, Grovyle is still stuck at the elite level.

The Nobbat learned three moves: Heat Wave, Bite, and Air Slash, and learned two moves: Protect and Taunt through the TM.

The Forest Lizard learned the move Giga Drain and the move Sunny Day through a TM.

Charmeleon learned two skills: Slash and Dragon Rage.

Dorgonmesia did not learn any skills.

Ya Ya learned five skills: Bite, Stop When You've Got It, Pursue Maliciously, Provoke, and Dragon Tail.
