A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

The researchers from the research institute stared at the swamp-skipping fish that had poked their heads out of the brush. Time seemed to freeze, and the entire scene was eerily quiet. The swamp-skipping fish stared at them with their round eyes, their mouths motionless, as if they were about to say something, but no sound came out. A strange silence fell, and everyone seemed to have countless question marks hanging over their heads...

Swampert roared at the Swampert, like an old father scolding his son. It wasn't loud, but it was incredibly penetrating, as if he were about to draw out the Seven Wolves. The Swamperts, who had been standing there motionless, staggered out, as if awakened from a dream. Their bodies seemed clumsy, their movements slow.

Looking at this adorable swamp-leaping fish, Ou Yishu and Chen Xue both burst out laughing.

Zhang Heng began to scan the swamp-skippers before him. They had orange gills, and their eyes and abdomens were all orange. Their bodies and heads were sky blue, while the fins on top of their heads and behind their backs were black. However, compared to the swamp-skippers in the original owner's memory, their colors seemed slightly duller. Furthermore, their body shapes were also lacking.

You know, a normal swamp skipper should be 0.7 meters tall and weigh 28 kilograms, but the swamp skippers in front of us are obviously much smaller.

Looking at the panel presented by the system, the best they had was merely lord-level qualifications, nothing particularly outstanding. Faced with this scene, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Sigh..." Zhang Heng sighed softly, thinking to himself: "It would be great if I could meet a Swampert or Aqualad with good qualifications." After all, as a trainer who can only catch Water and Dragon attribute Pokémon, Swampert, the number one physical attacker with powerful attack power in rainy days, is undoubtedly the most ideal choice.

Some people may ask in confusion: "Isn't that Swampert okay?" In fact, the qualifications of that Swampert have reached the limit. It has exhausted all its potential to successfully evolve into Swampert.

Despite its unwavering resolve, such a veteran Pokémon would never easily trust a novice Trainer. Furthermore, gamers like Zhang Heng tended to focus solely on numerical values, and items that could alter a Pokémon's aptitude were extremely rare.

Gra~Gela~

Suddenly, a clear, melodious, joyful cry shattered the surrounding silence. It turned out to be two lively and adorable water-leaping fish, playing and frolicking with each other. They hugged each other tightly, and like Stephen Chow's Invincible Wind Wheel, they rolled out of the dense grass and rolled to a stop at Zhang Heng's feet.

The two water-leaping fish seemed a little dizzy. They gently rubbed their small heads and then staggered to their feet. Then, they supported themselves on their four short legs, straightened their backs, and raised their heads. They looked at Zhang Heng curiously and uttered a questioning cry: "Gela?" As if asking this stranger, "Who are you?"

Zhang Heng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He then slowly squatted down. He stretched out his hands and gently stroked the heads of the two water-leaping fish, feeling their smooth skin and lively breath.

At the same time, Zhang Heng activated the innate skill bestowed by the system—Water Affinity. This mysterious power instantly spread throughout his body and was transferred to the Leaping Fish through his palm.

As his fingers moved, Zhang Heng slowly touched the chins of the water-leaping fish along their heads. He gently scratched this sensitive area with his fingertips, as if he had found the water-leaping fish's favorite tickle spot.

The water-jumping fish, treated so gently, immediately showed an extremely comfortable state. They closed their eyes tightly and emitted low and pleasant gurgling sounds from their throats, just like kittens being pampered by their owners and enjoying themselves.

Immediately afterwards, several more water-jumping fish leaped joyfully from the bushes. Their large, round eyes blinked, curiously observing the scene before them. Seeing their friends enjoying Zhang Heng's gentle caress, these adorable little creatures couldn't contain their inner desire, wagging their tails and quickly running to Zhang Heng's side.

Zhang Heng was surrounded by this group of enthusiastic little creatures, his heart filled with joy and emotion. He gently reached out and carefully touched each of the approaching water-jumping fish. Ou Yishu crouched quietly nearby, smiling and joining in this intimate interaction with the little animals. She gently stroked the tiny water-jumping fish, feeling their smooth scales and soft bodies.

In this beautiful moment, humans and nature coexist in harmony, as if time has stood still. The water-leaping fish fully enjoy the care and love of their human friends, while Zhang Heng and Ou Yishu are also immersed in this innocent happiness.

Zhang Heng thought, "The aptitude of these young ones isn't very high either. They're on the same level as a fully grown, first-stage evolved Swampert."

Dr. Chen Chunjiang stood quietly by, patiently waiting for a moment. He didn't rush to disturb the two adorable children, Zhang Heng and Yishu, who were immersed in their interaction with the water-leaping fish. At this moment, an incomparably warm atmosphere permeated the space between them and the water-leaping fish.

After a moment, Dr. Chen Chunjiang whispered, "It seems that we have successfully found the location of the tribe to which Swampert belongs." His eyes were full of joy, and then he turned to look at the One-eyed Swampert in front of him.

"Next, we plan to conduct a series of simple physical examinations and provide necessary medical treatment for your people. Do you have any questions?"

As a member of the third generation's original Big Three, Swampert is naturally friendly and trusting of humans. When it heard what Dr. Chen Chunjiang said, it didn't hesitate to nod in agreement without much deliberation.

This credulity isn't due to stupidity or blindness, but rather to the tacit understanding and emotional bond that has long been established between Swampert and humans. They know that humans are mostly friendly and trustworthy partners, especially those with professional knowledge and experience like Dr. Chen Chunjiang.
