As a trainer, he has the rain trait

next morning

Zhilin got up from the bed, brushed his teeth, washed up, and made breakfast, then called Zhu Yu and Xu Wu to wake them up.

"Good morning, Zhilin!"

"Good morning!"

Zhilin glanced at the two people who were full of energy just after getting up. He had never seen Xu Wu in a bad mental state, so he didn't find it strange. Instead, it seemed a little strange that Zhu Yu, who usually liked to sleep in, could be so awake and energetic.

But he didn't ask any more questions and put the dishes on the table. "Let's have breakfast first. There's still half an hour until the time Teacher Zuo said!"

The three of them had a simple breakfast.

"Have you prepared everything?" Zhilin asked after opening his phone and checking the time.

"All right!"

"I'm ready, I'm ready."

Zhilin looked speechlessly at Xu Wu, who was imitating the yellow sponge going to work, and couldn't help but complain: "Watch less cartoons! You're crazy!"

The meeting point set by Zuo Tingyun was not far from their dormitory, just a five-minute walk away.

Zuo Tingyun, who was leaning against the car door, saw the three people coming and unlocked the car, "Get in."

Leaving the passenger seat to Zhu Yu, Zhilin sat in the back seat and asked, "Teacher Zuo, is the training location far away?"

Zuo Tingyun nodded, "Yes, in the Black Elk Peak Forest, I'll let you fight more wild Pokémon."

Zhilin was no stranger to Heimi Peak, as his grandfather's sheep farm was right at the foot of the peak.

Zuo Tingyun drove and soon arrived at Black Mi Peak.

Black Mifeng boasts the largest forest near Changjing City, covering over 4,000 hectares. Its main peak is approximately 600 meters above sea level. The mountain range extends southwestward, ending at the eastern bank of the Xiangjiang River. The area boasts a large area of hillocks, most of which are flat and extend, with a gently undulating surface.

Climb to the summit and you'll be greeted by the vast expanse of mountains, where you can admire the sunrise and sunset, a truly relaxing experience. The air here is fresh, the water is excellent, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, with neither scorching summers nor severe winters. It's known as the "Emerald of Changjing."

There are many Pokémon living there, mainly Grass, Bug, and Normal types.

Zuo Tingyun parked the car and looked at the three of them. "You will go up the mountain on your own. It's nine o'clock now, and you need to reach the top of the mountain, take photos, and then come back down before twelve o'clock. Otherwise, it will be considered a failure. I will accompany you up the mountain to provide guidance in the afternoon. Do you understand?"

Zhilin frowned slightly, "Teacher Zuo, aren't you afraid that we'll encounter wild elite Pokémon that we can't deal with?"

Zuo Tingyun scoffed, "Black Elk Peak is almost being developed into a forest resort. Where would we get elite Pokémon? Besides, if we can't defeat them, can't we just run away? What? Are you scared?"

"Afraid? We would be afraid? I'm super brave, okay!"

As expected, the provocation worked well on Xu Wu. Zhilin and Zhu Yu looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"That's fine, let's go!"

"Go, go, go!"

Zhilin and Zhu Yu had no choice but to follow the excited Xu Wu.

After the three men walked away, Zuo Tingyun muttered, "Why are young people so cautious?" Then he pulled a walkie-talkie from his pocket, pressed a button, and said, "Bait in the net, action begins!"

If Zhilin were here, he would have recognized it at a glance as the same one he used to catch the criminals at the vegetable market last time...

After officially entering the forest, the three of them released their Pokémon. Haunter was responsible for exploring the way, while Woohoo and Sylph were responsible for guarding on both sides of the three of them. The division of labor was clear, and after two months of training, they already had enough tacit understanding.

After walking a few steps, they heard a dense rustling sound all around them, and the three of them immediately became alert.

Haunter floated back and used gestures to inform the three people of the situation: there were two Rattatas and seven or eight Rattatas approaching from the front.

Lada! That's okay!

"Evil wave!"

"Flying Leaf Quick Knife!"

"One hundred thousand volts!"

The three Pokémon quickly defeated the family of Rattatas. Seeing them running around, Zhilin felt a little relieved.

It seems that the wild Pokémon in Black Elk Peak are indeed not very strong.

Over the next hour, they encountered more than a dozen waves of wild Pokémon, successfully defeating each one without encountering any danger.

Although these wild Pokémon were not very strong, the successive encounters still made Haunter and the others tired. As trainers, Zhilin and the other two were also a little tired. After discussing it, they decided to find a place to rest for a while.

Soon, they sat down to rest in an open space by a small river.

Zhilin fed some energy cubes to the sheep and looked at Zhu Yu. "Are you okay?"

Zhu Yu took out a wet wipe from his bag and wiped the sweat off his forehead, shaking his head and saying, "It's okay, I'm just a little hot!"

Zhilin nodded. Logically speaking, those who exercised regularly wouldn't feel tired after walking intermittently for an hour, but they ignored the discomfort caused by the environment and terrain.

Changjing is always hot, and even now, during the Frost Descent season, the temperature is still over 30 degrees Celsius. The terrain is mostly rugged mountain roads with overgrown weeds. So he was a little worried that Zhu Yu would not be able to handle it.

However, Zhu Yu exercises regularly now, so he seems to be fine now.

It seems that among the three people, Zhilin, Zhu Yu is the most diligent. She must be so diligent in order to complete the dangerous task she had mentioned at the beginning. What is it?

Just as Zhilin was thinking to himself, several dark purple poisonous needles shot towards the sheep in front of him.

"careful!"

Haunter, who had the fastest reaction, flashed and knocked off the poison needle with his claws, narrowly preventing Zhilin from being hit.

Zhilin came back to his senses and looked at the Rongrong sheep with fear, then turned his head to look in the direction where the poison needle came from.

A scorpion covered with a hard shell of light and dark purple, with blue spots on its forelimbs and tail, and its front half standing upright, was staring at them ferociously.

"It's the Dragon King Scorpion. Something's wrong. There's no way this kind of Pokémon can exist in Black Elk Peak!"

Zhilin frowned and told his two teammates the seriousness of the matter.

A masked man walked out from behind the Dragon King Scorpion and said sinisterly, "You've seen quite a bit, little brat!"

Zhilin confronted him, "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

The man licked his lips and sneered, "Kid, someone is willing to pay for your head."

Hiring a killer? Who has such a big grudge against them?

That shouldn't be the case. With the strict laws of the Donghuang Alliance, how could they tolerate the emergence of the profession of killer?

Zhilin felt something was wrong.

The man continued, "I usually like to kill geniuses to satisfy my perverted psychology. It just so happens that someone is paying this time, which is perfect."

Zhilin raised his eyebrows. "According to Article 232 of the Donghuang Alliance Criminal Law, anyone who intentionally kills another person shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment of ten years or more. I don't believe you dare to kill anyone!"

The man paused in his approach, his tone filled with irritation, "Why don't you just abandon your Pokémon and run away? Why did you force me to do it?"

Zhilin used his eyes to signal Zhu Yu to prepare for action, then teased him, "After all this time, you're just a Pokémon hunter who's afraid of committing the crime of hurting someone?"

The man sneered, "I just don't want to hurt anyone, not that I don't dare to hurt anyone! Dragon King Scorpion, venom attack!"

"Haunter, block it with the wave of evil."

A black ripple blocked all the venom that was spraying out.

Zhu Yu, who had already received Zhilin's hint, had already gathered the power of the wind fairy in advance and used the emerald green "energy ball", which directly pushed the Dragon King Scorpion back half a meter.

But judging from the few scratches on the dragon scorpion's shell, the wind fairy did not cause any effective damage to it.

"What should we do? We don't seem to be able to win." Xu Wu said gritting his teeth.

"Zhu Yu, please call Teacher Zuo for help. We should delay it as long as possible."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yu quickly made a phone call.

Seeing them asking for help, the man said no more and ordered the King Scorpion to rush forward. Before they could give orders, Rongrongyang hurriedly used "100,000 Volts" to stop the King Scorpion. The King Scorpion crossed the claws of his arms and swung them, and with a "cross shears" he easily cut the electric current and continued to attack without slowing down.

The Wind Fairy used the "Storm" relay, but it still only made the Dragon King Scorpion pause for a moment. In the end, it was Haunter who continued to use the "Hypnosis" with all his strength, which made the Dragon King Scorpion gradually slow down its movements and fall into sleep.

Before Zhilin and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, the man threw out two more Poké Balls, and a large gray-black dog with a large, curved horn on its head, an orange mouth and a black nose, and light gray bone-like objects around its neck and back, and a pure black rag doll with a zipper on its mouth appeared.

Houndoom and the Cursed Doll!

The strength of these two Pokémon seems to be no less than that of Dragonite.

It takes three people to deal with just one, and now there are three they don’t know how to deal with them.

The reason why they still had to face three Pokémon was because the man also took out the Zero Fruit to wake up King Scorpion's sleeping state!

Just when the situation was critical, a red light fell in front of the Rongrong sheep.

The red light transformed into a snow-white duck, holding a sword shaped like a green onion stem and a shield made of green onion leaves.

Knight Scallion Pancake...Ah, no, here comes the Scallion Soldier!

This onion soldier was so powerful that it forced the three Pokémon on the opposite side to move.

Zhilin found that this green onion soldier looked familiar, and immediately became happy, "It's Teacher Zuo's green onion soldier! Teacher Zuo is here."

Zuo Tingyun walked out from behind a sturdy tree, put his hands behind his back, looked up and chuckled, "Have you asked me about the students who bullied me?"

"He's still pretending!" Xu Wu muttered in a low voice.

Zuo Tingyun's smile froze, and he looked at Xu Wu with gritted teeth, "You'll be in big trouble later!"

Xu Wu triggered a premonition of crisis and hid behind Zhilin.

The man finally lost his patience and shouted angrily, "I'm still here! Do you treat me like air? Am I a human being? Ah! Am I a human being?"

Zuo Tingyun glanced at him and said, "What are you shouting about? I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being! Take my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Onion Ranger looked at his trainer helplessly, then pointed his onion-stem-like sword forward, transforming into an emerald green meteor and charging at breakneck speed, stringing together three Pokémon and knocking them down.

This is the so-called Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon... Actually, it's the exclusive move of the Cong Youbing: Meteor Assault!

The man couldn't help swallowing his saliva at the Cong Youbing's astonishing aura, and took a few steps back in fear. "Who are you? How can you have such strength?"

Zuo Tingyun was puzzled when he heard this: "Don't you do any research before accepting a mission? They are students of Jingchu University, so of course it must be their teacher who came to rescue them."

The man swallowed hard and asked repeatedly, "Impossible! My people are watching the mountain below. Why didn't I get any information? And how could you get here so quickly?"

"Haha~ Staring at me? I've been staring at you since you took on this mission."

"Ah?" The man looked incredulous.

"Not only that~ your accomplice was arrested as soon as he took his position, so it was naturally impossible for him to tip you off; and I followed you as soon as you went up the mountain." Zuo Tingyun kept attacking the man with words.

After listening to Zuo Tingyun's words, the man was already staring with a look of despair on his face.

Zhilin, who was listening to their conversation, had a strange look on his face. "Teacher Zuo, are you using us as bait?"

Zuo Tingyun turned around and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry! Xiao Linlin, we can only catch him if he takes action!"

"You? Who else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several police officers rushed out from the woods, quickly pinned the man to the ground, handcuffed him, and escorted him down the mountain.

Zhilin immediately realized that these police officers looked familiar. After recalling for a while, he remembered that they were the police officers who arrested the criminals in the vegetable market last time.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked Zuo Tingyun: "Did Tong Yue invite this person?"

Zuo Tingyun nodded, "Hmm~ Otherwise, how could you possibly get such a good thing as a private training?"

Xu Wu curled her lips, "Is it just to set up a wall~"

Zuo Tingyun clenched his fists and looked at Zhilin with a forced smile, "Has he always been so brave?"

"Yeah! Just kidding~ He's super brave."

Zuo Tingyun glared at Xu Wu and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, I mean what I say. I'll discipline you well this afternoon!"

Although Xu Wu felt something was wrong, he still stiffened his neck and replied, "Okay! I've been looking forward to Mr. Zuo's guidance for a long time."

Zhu Yu whispered to Zhilin with some concern, "Was Xu Wu demoted by Teacher Zuo?"

Zhilin suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Zuo knows his limits. It's just a matter of suffering a little more."

Zhu Yu looked at the bickering Zuo Tingyun and Xu Wu with doubt...

"Ah~ Ouch~ Stop! Wait, I was wrong!!!"

"You're wrong? What's wrong with you?"

"I was wrong in every way! Teacher Zuo, please forgive me!"

"No! You're not wrong! How could you make a mistake? It's because the teacher didn't teach you well enough. The teacher needs to teach you more!"

"Ah~"

Zhilin wiped the sweat from his face, squinting as he watched Zuo Tingyun beat up Xu Wu. He smacked his lips, "Xu Wu, ah Xu Wu, why don't you mess with anyone else? You have to mess with Teacher Zuo. Teacher Zuo is known for his vengeful nature, and he never leaves it unpunished."

Zhu Yu frowned as he watched Zuo Tingyun throw Xu Wu to the ground. He asked Zhilin, "Can this really help you build up your body?"

Zhilin chuckled, "I don't know if it can improve my physique, but it can definitely improve my ability to withstand beatings."

"You're still laughing. We're teammates after all!" Zhu Yu rolled his eyes.

"But there's nothing I can do. He's the one seeking death, and there's no way I can stop him, okay?" Zhilin spread his hands helplessly.

Zhu Yu thought about it and snorted, "Serves you right!"

"Yeah~ You think you deserve it too!"

"You two, stop just watching~ Save me~"

Zhilin and Zhu Yu looked at each other and chose to ignore Xu Wu's call for help...
