As a trainer, he has the rain trait

In the distance, the magnificent city of Kyoto gradually comes into view.

Zhilin and Xu Qingyan rode on Pidgeot and Moltres respectively and slowly landed on the Pokémon Landing Square in Kyoto.

Moltres lowered its head slightly, and Xu Qingyan jumped lightly from its back.

Zhilin also jumped down from the back of the bird nimbly, fed the bird an energy cube, and said with a smile: "Thank you, bird!" The bird let out a loud and long cry, flapped its wings with satisfaction, and flew away into the distance, leaving only an elegant arc that gradually dissipated in the sky.

Xu Qingyan put the Moltres back into the Poké Ball and looked at Zhilin, "I have to go home first, you..."

Zhilin nodded and said, "Okay, I have to go find my grandfather too."

The two said goodbye, and Zhilin walked to the alliance headquarters.

The Alliance headquarters is located in the center of Kyoto. Its exterior combines ancient and modern design elements. Huge stone pillars support the towering dome, and the stone pillars are carved with Pokémon of various shapes, running, flying, and fighting. They are lifelike and tell the history of Pokémon and humans fighting and growing together.

When Zhilin approached, he could feel a solemn atmosphere coming towards him. It was an atmosphere interwoven with the dreams and glory of countless Pokémon trainers.

Walking into the lobby of the headquarters, it was bustling with activity. Trainers from all over the world were walking around, wearing a variety of costumes, representing different regions and cultures.

After Zhilin reported, he followed the staff's instructions, walked along the wide corridor, and came to the door of Grandma Yi's office.

Zhilin knocked gently on the door, and a gentle voice came from inside, "Come in."

Zhilin slowly pushed open the door. Yi Shilan was sitting at the desk, her eyes fixed on Zhilin.

"Xiao Lin is back? Come and sit down!" Yi Shilan said with a smile.

Zhilin sat obediently on the chair, looked around, and asked, "Why can't I see my grandfather?"

"He's on vacation today. I, your mother-in-law, won't exploit an old man." Yi Shilan said jokingly, and then teased Zhilin, "Why? You don't want to come and talk to your mother-in-law without him?"

Zhilin quickly shook his head and said, "No, no."

Yi Shilan teased Zhilin for a moment, then asked, "How was your trip?"

Zhilin blushed slightly, scratched his head sheepishly, and said, "It's not bad. I've already obtained six badges, and the team is only one away from being completed. The electric dragons have also made great progress in their strength, but there's still a lot of room for growth, so we need to keep working hard."

Yi Shilan nodded slightly, a look of approval in her eyes. "It is a rare quality for a young person to possess such humility and awareness. I believe you can go far on the path of a trainer and become a truly powerful warrior."

She paused, then continued, "You're still short of one Pokémon to complete your team, right? Why don't you go to the League Breeding Area and choose one?"

Zhilin hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Yishilan scoffed, "You've helped the Alliance many times along the way. Your contributions are enough to exchange for any Pokémon."

Zhilin finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go pick one in a few days."

"That's right, you haven't seen your grandpa for a long time, go quickly!" Yi Shilan said understandingly.

Zhilin then stood up and said goodbye to Grandma Yi.

I had originally planned to give my grandfather a surprise, but he was not at the Alliance headquarters, so I had to call him to ask for his location.

The moment the call was connected, Grandpa's familiar and warm voice came from the other end, "Xiaolin, you're back?"

"Well, I just came out from Grandma Yi's place. Where are you?"

"Haha, I'm in the Pokémon Park west of Kyoto, chatting with old friends." Zhiyu's hearty laughter came through the receiver.

Zhilin hung up the phone and walked briskly towards the Pokémon Park.

The Pokémon Park is shaded by green trees, and the lush branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze. Zhilin searched the park and soon found his grandfather.

Zhiyu was sitting on a park bench with a few old friends, surrounded by their beloved Pokémon. The scene was warm and comfortable.

Zhiyu's Dragonite was lying lazily on the side. Its huge body took up quite a bit of space, and its snoring attracted the curious gazes of many children. They gathered around it, their eyes flashing with surprise and admiration.

"Grandpa!" Zhilin shouted, and walked towards Zhiyu with full of longing.

When Zhiyu heard the familiar voice, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. She waved her hands vigorously towards Zhilin, "Here~"

Zhilin walked up to Zhiyu, looking at the old men next to his grandfather with curiosity. Those old men had different temperaments, but they all exuded a calmness and wisdom that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life, which made Zhilin unconsciously respect them.

"This is my grandson, Zhilin." Zhiyu proudly introduced him to a few old friends. Then, he turned to Zhilin and introduced him, "This is Su Xiao, the master of flying."

Zhilin turned his gaze to Su Xiao, his eyes full of admiration. Su Xiao smiled and nodded at him.

"This is Fu Qian, a master breeder. All the Pokémon he breeds are very powerful." Zhiyu continued to introduce, his tone full of praise for his old friend.

Fu Qian smiled and stroked his beard.

"And this guy, Liu Qingshan, is a professor of both combat and training at Peking University and Tsinghua University. He has made outstanding achievements in both academic and practical fields, and has trained countless outstanding Pokémon trainers."

"Master Su, Master Fu, Professor Liu, hello!" Zhilin bowed slightly and greeted the elders politely.

Several old men responded with a smile, very kindly, which made Zhilin feel very cordial.

Zhilin chatted with his grandfather and some old friends for a while, sharing anecdotes from the Pokémon world, from the mysterious legends of ancient Pokémon to the exciting tactics that appeared in recent gym competitions around the world, with constant laughter.

Zhilin listened with great interest and learned a lot. He also occasionally interjected a few words about his unique experiences during his travels, which drew nods of praise from the elders.

Before we knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun began to shine on the park, covering the entire park with a warm golden veil.

Zhiyu stood up, brushed off the fallen leaves, and said to his old friends with a smile, "It's getting late. Xiaolin and I have to go back. Let's talk another day."

"Okay, you old man, go back quickly and don't let your grandson go hungry." Su Xiao joked with a smile.

"Yes, Zhiyu, bring Xiaolin here next time. He is a really good kid." Fu Qian also agreed.

Professor Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Zhilin has great potential. Zhiyu, you must train him well."

"Haha, of course. Let's go." Zhiyu responded, then took Zhilin on the way home.

The grandfather and grandson walked on the street bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. The street lamps on the street lit up one by one, and the soft lights were intertwined with the afterglow of the setting sun.
