Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

It didn't take long; after several flights of air, the outline of the dojo came into view, gradually approaching.

Sa——

Looking up at the girl who was about to land, the howling wind naturally did not escape Fu Ye's ears. He put away his cutting knife and waited patiently for her arrival.

Before long, the familiar female voice was close to my ears.

"Uncle Fu, about what you said yesterday..."

“Well, Nan Yin, you’ve been studying with me for about two months now. It’s time to prove yourself to the public.”

He pulled out a recent newspaper, pointed to the headline, cleared his throat, and briefly recounted the story.

"Ma Xiu sent a request a while ago, hoping to repair the appearance of many Pokémon a month before this fashion show. Energy cubes can not only adjust the body shape, but also moisturize the fur."

“Although I don’t know much about those clothes racks, that girl is quite famous. This is a rare opportunity, especially since you have achieved considerable success in the field of handicrafts, but have yet to put it into practice.”

"This opportunity is in your hands. Do your best to complete it, and then come see this old man again."

Perhaps worried that he might have missed or misheard the Nanyin music, Master Fu added a sentence in a light tone.

"Remember, take the bullet train and leave tomorrow morning. You are not allowed to come back midway."

There wasn't anything overly harsh in her tone, but for some reason, Nan Yin sensed something slightly off.

The old man's reasoning seemed quite reasonable at first glance. As the owner of the Aromatherapy Gym, Ma Xiu not only made significant achievements among trainers but also enjoyed a high reputation in the fashion design world.

If she can use this fashion show as an opportunity to adjust the formula, refine the energy cube, and deliver a perfect result, making a name for herself will naturally be no problem. With this resume, even without Mr. Fu's support in the future, she will still be able to receive many formal orders.

This is a top-tier commission, and it's obvious that it's not something a newcomer like Nanyin would take on; it's more likely that an elder would do it out of consideration for his master.

Everything seemed so natural and logical, yet she felt as if Master Fu was deliberately trying to get her to leave, as if he feared something terrible might happen.

As expected, some uncontrollable incidents occurred around Biyi City, incidents that were enough to threaten the safety of the residents.

She reaffirmed her inner thoughts, but could Nan Yin really ask that question?

No, even if I told them, I would only get the same excuses from the old man as always.

There was no way to refuse; Master Fu was concerned about her safety, and all Nan Yin could do now was to improve herself as much as possible.

So, he straightened his attitude and solemnly agreed.

"I will complete the task diligently, and then I will come to see you again."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Three Sacred Birds

The sky was overcast, and not a glimmer of light could be seen.

Through the window beside her, Nan Yin carefully observed the changes in the weather outside.

Urged on by Grandpa Fu in the morning, she and the little beasts boarded the train early and traveled for nearly two hours towards Aroma City.

Even so, the thick clouds hanging over Biyi City were still incredibly eye-catching.

If I remember correctly, yesterday's weather forecast clearly predicted a sunny day.

Moreover, this doesn't seem to be just a simple gloomy day.

Boom——

A thunderclap ripped through the heavy clouds, and unexpected rain began to fall from the distant sky.

From drizzle to downpour, from hazy to torrential, in the blink of an eye, the city standing atop the ancient tree was completely shrouded in rain.

Immediately following, frost and snow fell, and a fierce wind ravaged the city.

Contrary to its geography, Hiei City, which is adjacent to the coast, rarely experiences snowfall throughout the year, let alone in late spring, near May.

With her fingertips pressed against the glass, she amplified her senses with the resonance of the vehicle and perceived an extreme anger from the surging aftershocks in the distance.

Human minds cannot reach such a level; the celestial phenomenon before us can only be caused by Pokémon.

Thunder, frost, and the scorch marks recently discovered on Grandpa Fu's body.

Based on the available information, the only reason a gym leader could be so worried, besides the infiltration by criminal groups, is the legendary Pokémon.

After incorporating this conclusion into her conjecture, Nan Yin's expression grew even more somber.

Pokémon that exist only in mythology and history are called legendary Pokémon, and in a more general sense, they can also be called mythical beasts.

North of Biyi City, in the center of Azure Bay, lies the Cave of the Sea God.

If my memory serves me right, in this generation, aside from the three legendary Pokémon X, Y, and Z that grace the cover, there are several familiar faces residing peacefully in the oceans and remote mountains.

Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres.

We have to face this possibility squarely, which explains why Master Fu was in such a hurry to leave.

Even if legendary Pokémon with poor performances occasionally appear in comics, in reality they are still monsters capable of easily destroying mountains and seas and interfering with nature.

Trainers below the Elite Four level are almost helpless against them.

She opened the Rotom Compendium and looked at the few lines in her contacts, lingering for a long, long time under the "Follower" icon.

She lowered her brows and remained silent, but with a mere flick of her finger, she instantly cleared away all the unread messages.

May Mr. Fu have a safe journey, Corinne wishes you a safe trip, and Dr. Blatano sends his greetings.

Compared to herself, Kornie was sent back to Salo City by that old man two days ago, while Dr. Bratano pressed for details about Alain and Team Flare.

[Doctor, I met Alain by chance while I was acting as the Gym Leader. After ruling out the possibility of him being from the Battle Castle, I still don't know the reason for the key stone on his wrist.]

I gave a brief reply, and when I looked up again, the bullet train had already left the area shrouded in dark clouds.

The bright sunshine should have put people in a good mood, but Nan Yin was unable to calm her mind and act as if nothing was wrong.

"Next stop, Lavender City. Passengers preparing to disembark, please gather your belongings and calm your Pokémon to avoid any unnecessary trouble..."

The station's announcement came on as scheduled, indicating that there was little time left before the trip ended.

Holding her backpack in one hand and letting it hang down her lap, the girl waited quietly by the side of the car near the door.

Nan Yin knew very well where her unease came from: the guilt she felt for the many favors Fu Ye had done for her, which she could only repay in small ways; and the helplessness she felt when she was truly facing a crisis but could only take a high-speed train and leave in a panic.

Remembering the grand ambitions I once held, vowing to become a wave that could influence the outcome, I stepped into that thrilling story.

It was with this in mind that she chose the steady and reliable path of nurturing families, and now...

She clenched her fingers, then slowly relaxed them. As her shoes stepped out of the car, the girl's face returned to calm.

Having arrived in this brand-new city, there's no need to go any further, no matter how strong the emotions.

She was never a weak person who wallowed in self-pity after experiencing minor setbacks, nor was she an absolutely rational and indifferent sage. She simply knew how to bow her head and see the ordinary people beneath her feet.

Ultimately, Nan Yin did nothing wrong. Throughout her journey, she has always walked the path she chose, and she firmly believes that every step she has taken is the most correct direction and the most reasonable judgment.

As Ibu grew stronger, Scorpio became less sensitive and more passionate, while I myself made significant progress in both knowledge and ability.

What follows is quite simple: follow this generous path and continue forward with these children until you reach the summit.

They're just three sacred birds; we can deal with them anytime.

"Buy~"

The thick clouds that had gathered on her brows dissipated, and Ibu, who had been lying on her shoulder and silently accompanying her all this time, also leaped forward, guiding Nanyin to stride forward.

Passing through the grassy fields of tea green and lemon yellow, and crossing the flowerbeds of pink and white, as the gaze stretches into the distance, the destination of this journey comes into view.

——Aromatherapy Dojo.

Unlike the Twin Trees Gym, this gym is nestled against ancient trees and boasts an elegant style. Located in the heart of the city, it attracts attention almost immediately upon approaching.

"Excuse me, is Master Ma Xiu at the dojo today?"

Upon reaching the gate, after exchanging greetings with the staff inside, she stated her purpose directly.

"I'm here to take over the commission from the owner of Ma Embroidery Shop."

"Miss, are you a breeder?"

Surprised by the silver-haired girl's delicate features and questioning her age, the gatekeeper was about to ask further questions when a soft denial came from inside.

"Don't make things difficult for her, Xiyin, let her in."

As the wooden door tightened inwards, Nan Yin slowly walked into the building, which resembled a Japanese palace.

"You must be Nan Yin, the disciple of Mr. Fu Keji?"

Sipping a cup of warm floral tea, the woman with her long, flowing black hair draped over her shoulders, rose and turned around, scrutinizing Nan Yin with considerable care.

Upon seeing that the other person's features were no less than her own, a mixture of surprise and delight spread across her face.

"Yes."

"follow me."

Nodding in agreement, and with the other party's half-hearted invitation, she passed through the shoji screen of the paper shop and came to the kotatsu, which had only two seats.

“At the last meeting, I heard your name from the old gentleman. He said you will definitely become an excellent breeder in the future.”

"I dare not presume to claim such a title. May I ask, which Pokémon did the owner of Maxiu Pavilion commission?"

Once again, Nan Yin thanked Master Fu in her heart and inquired about the main purpose of this trip.

You mean her?

He took out a Poké Ball from his sleeve, and with a brief flash of red light, a slender little beast with ribbons hanging from its body appeared.

"Come out, Sylveon."

P.S.: Please give me some encouragement in the comments. (Crying emoji)

Chapter 30 Sylveon and its Performance

Fairy Pokémon is the evolved form of Eevee, and it learns Fairy moves after reaching a certain friendship level.

The written explanation is so tedious, but the requirements of evolution in reality are far more complex than that.

"Buyi!"

Upon seeing this graceful and beautiful fairy spirit, the chestnut-furred little beast immediately pricked up its pointed ears and stood rooted to the spot.

It wasn't just simple astonishment, but a retreat tinged with a mixture of anticipation and timidity.

"Buy~"

With her small mouth open and closed, revealing her tiny fangs, Sylveon walked up to Nan Yin and gently wrapped her ribbon around the girl's arm.

It is a friendly greeting.

"It seems the fairy spirits welcome you, Nanyin."

With a smile covering her lips, Ma Xiu didn't mind her child showing affection to others, because she knew that the place in the other person's heart would always belong to her.

If you don't even have this much confidence, how can you get along well with those sensitive Pokémon?

"He's a very cute kid."

Looking at the fairy Eevee in front of her, Nan Yin had no choice but to affirm it.

In terms of both fur color and physique, this little guy far surpasses other Pokémon of the same era.

Sincere praise naturally cannot escape Eevee's notice.

As if its territory had been invaded, the little beast's earlier timidity vanished immediately. Then, it raised the tip of its tail and fiercely untied the fairy spirit's ribbons one by one.

"Buyi!"

Raising its little hand, it drew a horizontal line in front of the girl, then warned her with a fierce pursed lip and furrowed brows that she should not cross the line.

However, in Nan Yin's view, this is not fierce at all, but rather a bit cute and silly.

"Pfft."

It was a soft, suppressed laugh.

Noticing the surprised look in the girl's eyes, Ma Xiu quickly coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.
