How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

“Although, although it was my request, but I will not let Crying Mask get beaten in vain…” Perhaps influenced by the blazing fighting spirit in Tan Xiaoshi’s eyes, Ounio’s tone instantly became serious, and even his speech became a lot more coherent.

"Crying Mask, use Scare!" After saying that, Ounio commanded the Crying Mask to attack Tan Shi first.

"Tan-no-Shi, dodge and use sparks." Tan-no-Shi, who was always keeping a close eye on his opponent, immediately noticed the movements of the Crying Mask and easily dodged the attacking ghost face. He opened his mouth and a ball of hot sparks flew towards the Crying Mask.

"Crying Mask, dance and strike wildly!" Facing the attack from Tan Xiaoshi, the Crying Mask did not dodge or evade. Several black tentacles suddenly emerged from the dark shadow below it, waving wildly to block the sparks while attacking Tan Xiaoshi.

"Tan~" Tan Shi jumped left and right nimbly in the gaps between the tentacles, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the Crying Mask.

"Clearing Smoke!"

Before the Crying Mask could react, a cloud of purple smoke from the Tan Shi exploded on the Crying Mask's face, blocking its vision.

"Fire Vortex!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tan Xiaoshi immediately used the flame vortex to trap the crying mask inside it.

"Cry~"

The Crying Mask that was engulfed by flames felt the burning pain all the time, and its head became dizzy because of the swirling flames.

"Dancing and swinging..."

Hearing Ounio's voice, familiar tentacles surged out and swung fiercely in the opposite direction of the vortex of flames. The flames circling around the crying mask were instantly swept away.

"Charcoal~"

"...Okay..."

Just as Tan Shi was nervously waiting for the Weeping Mask's counterattack, Ounio's voice suddenly rang out, and countless hideous tentacles shrank back into the Weeping Mask's shadow in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tan Shi~"

Hearing Fang Ci's voice, the fighting spirit in Tan Xiaoshi's eyes gradually returned to normal, and he looked curiously at the Crying Mask and Oneo who suddenly stopped.

"...You two...please, please follow me..."

Seeing the curiosity in Fang Ci and Qi Shu's eyes, Ounio said something softly, then turned around and led the way.

Seeing this, Fang Ci and Qi Shu hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while in the yellow sand where almost no scenery could be seen, a blurry shadow appeared in the sight of the three people.

When Fang Ci got closer, he realized that the huge shadow was actually a simple giant gate built of three large stones. It was unclear whether it was formed naturally or built artificially, and it was covered with dents from the weather.

When they reached the stone gate, Ounio suddenly stopped and looked back at Fang Ci and the others. The two of them quickly understood what he meant and stopped.

"Cry~"

The Crying Mask that was originally following Ounio also came to his side. After the man and the pet looked at each other, they walked towards the stone gate under the gaze of Fang Ci and the others.

The moment he passed through the stone gate, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the body of the crying mask.

“What is this...?” Fang Ci’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the familiar light on the crying mask.

"Evolved~!" Looking at the figure gradually getting bigger in the light, Qi Shu couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Loss~"

Soon after, the light dissipated, and a stone slab with a strange red pattern painted on it appeared in front of the three people.

"This is~" Seeing this, Fang Ci hurriedly opened the illustration.

"Issip, a Pokémon of vengeance, with ground and ghost attributes. Issip is a Pokémon that began to move after absorbing the soul of the Weeping Mask from an ancient painting that was infused with a strong curse. You must never touch Issip's shadowy body, otherwise it will let you see the horrific memories engraved in its painting."

As soon as the illustrated guide finished speaking, the eyes of the mysterious pattern above the Dieshi Plate suddenly lit up, and the originally intact stone slab instantly broke into pieces, connected by dark shadow tentacles. The stone slab fragments hanging on the top of the tentacles formed the arms, head and tail of the Dieshi Plate.

"Wow, there is such a way of evolution?" Before, Qishu and Fang Ci thought of many reasons why Onio did this, but they never expected that it was for evolution.

"...I'm sorry, the evolution method of the Dieboard is quite special. I originally wanted to ask wild Pokémon for help...but...I didn't expect the weather to be so bad that the wild Pokémon all...hid..."

"It doesn't matter. We are all very happy to see this way of evolution." Fang Ci said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Seeing Fang Ci's hearty smile, Ounio lowered his head shyly.

"Wow, I'm really fed up with this horrible weather. Onio, do you want to go out with us?" Qishu said with a bitter face, brushing off the dust accumulated in the folds of his clothes.

"Okay... okay..." Ounio shook his mask gently, seeming to be quite troubled by the dusty weather.

On the way out of the dust depression, Ounio looked up from time to time at the two people walking side by side in front of him, as if he was hesitating whether to speed up and catch up with them, but in the end he couldn't muster up the courage, so he could only fall behind several steps and step lightly into the footprints left by the two people.

The further they walked, the more the violent dust gradually subsided, and from time to time a few strong little grasses grew out of the loose sand under their feet. Slowly, the thrilling green grass appeared in the three people's sight from afar.

"This weather is so weird!" After stepping onto the soft grass he had not seen for a long time, Qi Shu immediately took off the scarf and hat wrapped around his head. However, even after walking out of the dusty depression, he still did not see the long-lost sunshine.

"I remember the weather was pretty good when we came in? Is the weather in Galar so changeable?" Looking up at the thick dark clouds above his head, Qi Shu said blankly.

"No...that's not right...!" Looking at the dark clouds in the sky that flashed purple light from time to time, Ounio's tone suddenly became excited.

"Geng ga~!"

As soon as Onio finished speaking, a purple Gengar immediately emerged from the shadow under his feet and looked up at the sky with a nervous expression.

Fang Ci and Qi Shu were both shocked to see Gengar appear suddenly. They had just been with Onio for such a long time, but they didn't even sense any trace of Gengar.

"Boom~"

But soon their attention was attracted by a thunderous sound in the sky, and a huge purple figure could be vaguely seen in the dark clouds in the sky. The strong sense of oppression made the three people below hold their breath, and even Geng Gui, who looked powerful, trembled slightly, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
