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

Heading west along the continuous mountain range, after climbing over the last hill, what we see before us is no longer mountains but a flat plain.

However, this plain is not as fertile as imagined, but is covered with rugged rocks eroded by strong winds and debris peeled off from the rocks.

In the midsummer weather, the ground under your feet is always scorched by the scorching sun, and you can feel its temperature through your boots. In stark contrast to the vibrant forest, there is nothing here except the strange rocks with claws and fangs, let alone other living creatures.

“Brother, do we have to take this road?”

I looked up at the sun shining brightly in the sky and complained about how I had wrapped myself up so tightly.

"There's no other way. This is the shortest way to the Shining Cave. If we take a detour, the distance will be at least five times longer, which is really not worth it." Seeing Qi Shu's miserable look, Fang Ci felt distressed, but finally said helplessly.

"Oh, how annoying!" Upon hearing this, Qi Shu wailed but still tried hard to keep up with Fang Ci's pace.

"Don't worry, this Gobi desert is not too big. At this speed we will be able to get out before noon tomorrow." After looking at the map on Rotom's phone, Fang Ci turned around, took Qishu's little hand and comforted him softly.

"But there's nothing but stones here. Not to mention the elves, there's not even a tree or a blade of grass to be seen. It's really too monotonous." Qi Shu was not afraid of getting tired or the sun, but the unchanging scenery before her made her feel tired from the bottom of her heart.

The purpose of a trainer's travel is to discover more beautiful scenery and meet more Pokémon, but after entering this Gobi desert, all you see is nothing but stones. Once the initial novelty wears off, continuing to move forward is just torture.

"Actually, there are quite a few wild Pokémon here, but now the sun is too strong and they are all hiding."

"In that case, brother, why don't we rest during the day and continue on our way when the weather is cooler at night?" Upon hearing Fang Ci say that the wild elves were resting, Qi Shu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Fang Ci with a hint of pleading in his tone.

If he continued walking in this kind of weather and environment, Qishu was worried that his skin would get sunburned.

"Baby, I don't want to travel under the scorching sun, but the travel guide says that there is a huge population of iron ants living deep in this desert. Every night they go out in groups to look for prey. If we encounter them at night, it will only be more troublesome."

"what--"

Upon hearing this, the light that had just lit up in Qishu's eyes instantly went out again.

Iron Ants are social Pokémon, just like Beedrills, which attract a whole colony if you provoke one. They are definitely one of the Pokémon that trainers are most reluctant to provoke when traveling in the wild. Therefore, when Fang Ci said that there were Iron Ants here, Qi Shu immediately gave up the idea of ​​traveling at night.

Seeing Qi Shu’s depressed look, Fang Ci felt a sharp pain in his heart.

If I had known this would happen, I would have taken a different route. So what if it takes a few more days?

Just as Fang Ci was thinking about the possibility of turning back now, Qi Shu's eyes suddenly became firm as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he took big strides forward while Fang Ci was staring in surprise.

"Baby, you...?"

“Since we have to leave sooner or later, we might as well leave quickly and get out of this damn place as soon as possible!” Qi Shu said without turning his head when he heard Fang Ci calling him.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Fang Ci hurriedly chased after him.

The sun in the sky slowly disappeared in the western horizon, and the moon rose quietly from the mountains in the east. After working hurriedly all day, Fang Ci and his companions didn't even have the energy to cook. After night fell, they found a hidden place behind a boulder and set up their tent. They fell asleep with their tired bodies before it was completely dark.

When night falls, the Gobi Desert is like an endless black canvas, spreading between heaven and earth. The stars twinkle in the night sky, like lights in the sky, bringing a touch of mystery and romance to this desolate land.

The moonlight sprinkled on the sand and stones, covering them with a layer of silver-white coat. The sand and stones swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, like a symphony at night. In this quiet night, the mountains in the distance are looming, they are like sleeping giants, quietly guarding this desert.

In the Gobi Desert in the dark night, except for the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of wind, there is almost no other sound. This silence makes people feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness, but at the same time, it also makes people feel the power and beauty of nature more deeply. Here, you can feel that time seems to slow down, and every breath is full of the power of life.

"Meow~"

After the daytime heat was completely blown away by the cold wind at night, the heat cat lying outside the tent stretched and slowly opened its eyes.

Looking at the Tilei cat lying on the blanket two steps away from him and looking like he was already asleep, Yanre Cat's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness. For some reason, Tilei cat has ignored him since this morning. In the past, they slept on the same blanket, but today...

Hot Cat looked at the exposed gravel beneath him, and his heart was filled with sadness.

"Om~!"

Seeing the Torrent Cat wake up, the Buzzing Bat that had been staying on top of the tent immediately flapped its wings and flew down. After what happened last night, it had completely regarded the Torrent Cat as its boss.

Seeing the buzzing bats flying down, the two elves looked at each other tacitly, then simultaneously lowered their voices and slowly moved away from the camp.

Shortly after they left, Tirei cat, who was originally sleeping on the blanket, quietly opened his eyes, looked at the direction where Yanre cat left, slowed down his pace and followed them.

Compared with the dense forest, the breath of life here is still very rare even at night. After searching for a long time and still not finding a suitable opponent for the buzzing bat, the hot cat had no choice but to find a big stone as the target for the buzzing bat's training today.

"Om~"

No matter facing the fat Rada or the hard rocks, the little buzzing bat always looks full of energy. After the torrent cat finds its target, it immediately flaps its wings excitedly and flies high into the sky.

Seeing the Buzzing Bat flying higher and higher, the Heat Cat immediately and skillfully retreated far away.

In fact, during the day today, Buzzing Bat had been thinking back to the feeling of successfully using Dragon Dive last night. Now, the familiar feeling of flying high in the sky immediately surged into its heart like a tide.

"Om~!"

To boost his confidence, Buzz Bat yelled, and the blue-green dragon energy quickly enveloped his entire body. In the dark night, the shining energy dragon roared and swooped down.

"boom--!!"

After a loud bang, the powerful impact force immediately created a cloud of dust all over the sky.

"Om~"

Before the smoke and dust cleared, the excited buzzing bat flapped its wings vigorously to disperse the dust surrounding the boulder, and cheered excitedly at the faint white marks left on the boulder by the impact.

"Meow~"

Seeing Buzz Bat hit the target with one strike, Tornado also jumped up happily. After a night of training yesterday, no one understood better than Tornado how precious this scene was. It was this feeling that Buzz Bat lacked yesterday. Now it seems that even when resting during the day, the little guy has never slacked off and successfully grasped the essence of the Dragon Dive.

"Meow~"

However, in order to prevent this time from being an accidental guess, at the request of the Heat Cat, the Buzzing Bat excitedly flapped its wings and prepared to ascend again. But at this moment, its keen ears immediately caught some unusual movements, and it hurriedly lowered its head to look at the bottom of the boulder below.

Noticing the strangeness of the buzzing bat, the torrent cat immediately took a alert posture, crouched down and stared at the bottom of the boulder.

"Iron~"

Under the nervous gaze of the two elves, an iron head with ferocious fangs suddenly emerged from the gap under the boulder.

"Meow~" Seeing that what came out was just an iron ant that was not even as big as itself, the Hot Cat was instantly relieved. He was just worrying about not being able to find a wild Pokémon, but he didn't expect it to come to his door.

"Buzz——"

But in stark contrast to the relaxed Torrent Cat, the moment the Iron Ant appeared, Buzz Bat's expression became even more nervous, and he hurriedly and loudly issued a warning to the Torrent Cat below.

"Meow~"

Hearing the sound of the buzzing bat, the Hot Cat realized something was wrong, but when it turned around, it found that small hills had risen up on the ground around it, and countless iron ants crawled out from the ground and completely surrounded it.

"Meow~"

Looking at the densely packed iron ants all around, the fearless Yanchao felt his scalp tingling for the first time.

Without any hesitation, the Tomahawk Cat immediately looked up at the Buzzing Bat in the air and shouted at it to leave quickly.

Although they always appear in groups, the individual strength of the Iron Ants is not weak. For example, the hundreds of densely packed Iron Ants on the scene are all mature individuals. Even just one of them is not something that the Buzz Bat, which is still just a baby, can deal with. Therefore, letting the Buzz Bat leave and go back to the camp to seek help is much more useful than letting it stay here.

"Om~"

Hearing the roar of the Torrent Cat, the Buzzing Bat hesitated for just a moment before flapping its wings and disappearing into the dark night sky.

It also understood that its own strength was weak, so returning to the camp to seek Fang Ci's help was the best option.

"Meow~"

After seeing the buzzing bat leave, the bell on the neck of the hot cat shook gently, creating a series of hot ripples.

Feeling the scorching heat radiating from the Heat Cat, the iron ants closest to it retreated one after another.

The steel and bug type iron ants were most afraid of fire. After feeling the heat of the fire cat, the iron ants gave up the prey in front of them. The more powerful the hunter, the more he knew how to cherish his feathers. Instead of risking injury to fight the fire cat, there were more weaker prey waiting for them in this desert.

After seeing the iron ants retreat, the tense body of the Toray Cat finally relaxed. But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar voice rang out not far away, which immediately made its heart rise to its throat again.

"Meow~!"

Hearing Tilei's familiar cry, Yanremao, without any hesitation, instantly turned into a stream of fire and disappeared on the spot, flying towards the direction where the sound came from.

Although it didn't understand why Tiremeow was nearby, the moment it heard its call, Yanremeow no longer had the mind to think. Now there was only one thing in its mind, which was to get to Tiremeow's side.

On a huge rock not far away, looking at the dense and increasing number of iron ants around him, Tire Miao couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and deep despair.

Its attributes are already overwhelmingly disadvantageous when facing iron ants, not to mention that there are so many iron ants in front of it.

"Iron~"

Looking at Tiremeow leaning on the boulder with no way to escape, the iron ants below excitedly opened and closed their jaws, making bursts of metal friction sounds.

Seeing the despair in Tiremeow's eyes, excitement and cruelty flashed in their eyes.

"Iron~"

Finally, an iron ant could no longer suppress its desire, jumped high and pounced directly towards the Tiremeow on the stone.

"Meow!"

But before it could pounce on the frightened Tiremeow, a beam of fire flew from a distance and hit it directly.

"Iron~"

The iron ant hit by the flames immediately screamed and flew out, falling to the ground and losing its ability to fight.

"Meow~"

The Heat Cat stood in front of Tire Cat, and the fire bell on its neck shook violently. The scorching temperature made all the nearby Iron Ants look painful.

"Meow~"

Seeing the familiar red and black figure standing in front of her, Tiremeow finally came to her senses and shouted excitedly.

"Meow~"

The Hot Cat looked back at the Tire Cat who had come to his senses, but there was no relaxation on his face, because he found that the iron ants around him did not retreat like they did just now.

The iron ants in the entire ant colony are like an inseparable whole. Now that the heat cat has hurt their companions, it is equivalent to declaring war on their entire ant colony, so they are still here not for hunting, but to maintain the dignity of their entire ant colony.

......

"Om-!"

The sharp sound of buzzing bats rang out above the tent. Fang Ci and Qi Shu, who were sleeping soundly, immediately opened their eyes when they heard the unusual sound.

"What's wrong, Buzzbat?"

Fang Ci, who had no time to change his clothes and was still in his pajamas with messy hair, immediately got out of the tent and asked in confusion while looking at the buzzing bats circling anxiously in the air.

"Om~"

Seeing Fang Ci coming out, Buzz Bat immediately pounced on him excitedly, pulling him and trying to fly out.

Seeing the look of Buzz Bat, Fang Ci immediately turned his head to look at the side of the tent. His face immediately changed when he saw that the familiar figures of the two cats were no longer on the empty blanket.

"Oh no! Yanre Meow and Dire Meow are in danger!"
