As a trainer, he has the rain trait

As the sky gradually darkened, the warm atmosphere in the yard became more intense.

"This yard hasn't been this lively for a long time." Zhiyu said with a smile while brushing off the dust on her body.

"But it would be better to go to the battlefield next time." Zhiqing looked at the cracks still left on the wall and shrugged helplessly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You little brat, you've become so powerful." Su Nanzhi walked over and touched Zhilin's head hard.

"Oh, Mom! You've messed up my hair." Zhilin took a step aside to avoid Su Nanzhi's vicious hand, and muttered while tidying up his hair.

Su Nanzhi glared at him, "Hey! You dare to resist!"

"You care so much about your hairstyle?" Zhiqing teased, "Is Linlin in love?"

Su Nanzhi immediately stopped caring about Zhilin's avoidance and asked excitedly, "Really? What's the girl's name? How old is she? How tall is she?"

The series of questions made Zhilin feel overwhelmed, and he quickly said, "No!"

Su Nanzhi asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really not!" Zhilin swore.

Zhiyu said cheerfully, "It's true we haven't had a relationship yet. I just have someone I like, but they may not like him."

Su Nanzhi put her hands on her hips and asked, "Who is it? My Linlin is so outstanding, yet you don't like him?"

"That girl Qingyan."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhiqing silently added, "That's true, he might not be interested."

Zhilin's face darkened, and he said speechlessly, "Don't spread rumors, don't believe them!"

Su Nanzhi didn't believe Zhilin's words at all and said happily: "Work hard, Qingyan is very good."

"You have very high standards! Just like me!" Zhiqing nodded and said to Zhiyu.

Zhilin was too lazy to explain, perhaps he didn't know how to explain it?

"Okay, let's go into the house first. We've finally gotten together, so we should have a good reunion dinner." Zhiyu invited them and walked into the house.

Inside, the lights came on, and the table was already laden with a feast of delicious dishes, the aroma filling the air. These were all carefully prepared by Zhiyu and Zhilin, each dish carrying the anticipation of a family reunion.

The family sat around the dining table, laughter and joy rang out again.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses to celebrate our family reunion." Zhiqing picked up the wine glass, his eyes full of happiness.

"Cheers!" The others responded one after another, and the wine glasses clinked together, making crisp sounds.

During the meal, Zhilin was always the center of the conversation.

"By the way, Xiaolin, you are going to take the assessment for elite trainers after the new year, right? Do you have confidence?" Zhiqing asked.

"Yes! My Pokémon and I are ready, and we will definitely pass the test." Zhilin answered firmly, his eyes full of confidence.

"Well, we believe you. But the field combat training after the assessment is not easy. If you encounter any problems, you can tell us." Su Nanzhi said with concern.

"I understand, Mom." Zhilin nodded.

But in fact, he felt that there was no need for it. The experience of traveling all the way and unlimited fighting were no longer unfamiliar to him.

......

The winter sun is like golden silk threads, gently sprinkling in the quiet courtyard.

The joyful atmosphere of Zhilin's family reunion became even more intense, and everyone's face was filled with a smile from the heart.

Zhilin was busy and happy, making careful preparations for the upcoming New Year, as if he had already seen the beautiful picture of family reunion and laughter.

In the yard, Zhiqing and Zhiyu were also busy.

They were decorating the yard with lights. Colorful lanterns were shining, and strings of colored lights were carefully hung on tree branches and under the eaves. They swayed gently in the breeze, interweaving a brilliant display of light and shadow.

The electric dragons were also playing happily nearby, adding a bit of liveliness to the lively scene.

Even in winter, the whole yard is full of vitality and vigor.

Zhilin's heart is full of anticipation and joy for the New Year.

However, this tranquility and joy were ruthlessly broken by a phone call.

Zhiqing was enjoying this warm moment with his family in the yard when suddenly, the special mobile phone in his pocket made a rapid signal sound.

Zhiqing's face instantly became solemn. He opened his phone to check the message. He had just finished reading it when Su Nanzhi rushed out of the house and looked at Zhiqing with a frown.

Zhilin suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhiqing pondered for a moment before saying, "A large number of poachers have appeared on the border. They took advantage of the fact that our small number of border patrol officers are on annual leave and the border defense force is weak, and smuggled into Donghuang territory through various means.

As soon as these ruthless guys entered the country, they began poaching on a large scale."

Zhiqing paused and continued, "The Alliance requires your mother and I to immediately end our vacation and return to the border station to participate in this emergency arrest operation."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the hearts of the family. The originally cheerful atmosphere in the yard disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by suffocating silence.

The bright smile on Zhilin's face disappeared without a trace the moment he heard the news.

Zhilin's eyes were filled with reluctance and anger. He was reluctant to be separated from his parents who had finally reunited, and he was angry that those hateful poachers showed up at this time and cruelly destroyed the reunion time that his family had waited so hard for.

What should have been a New Year full of laughter and warmth has been cast a thick shadow by the evil deeds of these people.

Zhiqing walked over slowly and patted Zhilin's shoulder gently, his eyes filled with guilt and helplessness. "Xiaolin, I'm sorry. Dad knows this is unfair to you, but this is our duty."

Su Nanzhi hugged Zhilin tenderly, holding him tightly in her arms, and comforted him: "Linlin, don't be sad. We will be back as soon as we complete the mission."

Zhilin bit his lip, raised his head, and looked at his parents firmly, "Take me with you!"

Zhiqing and Su Nanzhi looked at each other, both with surprised expressions in their eyes.

They didn't expect Zhilin to make such a request, but in their eyes, Zhilin was still a child. This operation was full of dangers. How could they let him take risks?

"Xiao Lin, this is too dangerous, you can't go. Poachers are very cunning and brutal, they will not show mercy." Zhi Qing said seriously, there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

"I know this is very dangerous, but I'm not afraid. I'm stronger than you and can protect myself." Zhilin said stubbornly.

Zhiyu watched quietly from the side. When she heard Zhilin's words, she frowned slightly, her eyes filled with worry. "Xiaolin, catching poachers is no joke."

But Zhilin had made up his mind. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to go with his parents to stop those hateful poachers.

"I'm going!"

Zhiqing said helplessly: "Even if we are willing, the alliance will not allow members of the public to participate in the arrest operation."

Zhilin was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and turned around to help his parents pack their luggage.

The original vacation was not long, so Zhiqing and his friends didn't have much luggage and packed it quickly.

Zhiqing pulled the small suitcase and waved to Zhilin, who was standing at the gate, saying, "Don't see me off!"

Su Nanzhi shouted, "Linlin, take care of yourself and grandpa, we will be back soon."

Zhilin nodded slightly, and together with Zhiyu, watched the two of them leave.

Zhiyu comforted him, "Go back to the house, they will be back soon."

"Yeah!" Zhilin responded softly and turned back to the house.

Zhiyu shook her head and sighed, "I thought we could spend the New Year together."

……

After returning to the house, Zhilin rummaged through the drawers and found a cell phone that showed few signs of use. He turned it on and made a call.

"Hey?"

A deep voice sounded...
