Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"It's not complicated, just a simple probe."

It wasn't hard to sense the doctor's self-reproach. After this brief rest, Nan Yin also regained some of her strength.

She propped herself up, nodded and whispered her thanks to Korne on her neck and shoulder, causing Korne to blush awkwardly. The girl then broke free from her support and used her spiritual power to help her.

Her actions just now were unintentional; they were simply actions she took because she believed she was unharmed.

As the five senses gather information from all directions and provide feedback to the physical entity, Nanyin couldn't help but marvel at the sheer size and intricacy of this underground structure.

Compared to the Poké Ball Factory above, its total area is nearly ten times larger.

The facilities for storing electrical energy and the pipelines that run throughout the building are just the most basic external facilities. Inside, however, bottles that restrict freedom and the remains of dead elves are almost everywhere, and faint, mournful cries continue to describe the devastation after the explosion.

Even though she prided herself on being indifferent and lacking empathy, Nan Yin was momentarily stunned by the sudden influx of information.

As if the displayed limbs had become mere numbers, she opened and closed her fingers, then slowly clenched them again. It wasn't an expression of anger; it was simply a way of calming her emotions and accepting this unprecedented shock.

She had long recognized the difference between the game and reality. From the moment she came into this world, the girl abandoned the idea of ​​being a savior. She was an ordinary person, and all she could do was protect herself and her child while giving others a little help.

Protect yourself first, then protect others; this is fundamental.

Unless there is an obstacle in her way or a crisis looming over her, making her unable to sleep day and night, she will not truly feel disgust, anger, or desire to get rid of her as soon as possible.

If Team Flare was able to so ruthlessly destroy lives today, who knows what they would dare to do if they encountered me again tomorrow, who was standing in their way.

We must nip it in the bud before it takes control of the legend, and act decisively while the situation is about to collapse. Otherwise, Nan Yin will not be able to calm her inner turmoil or guarantee each other's safety.

"Nanyin, are you alright?"

Noticing the change in the girl's expression, Korni intended to ask further questions, but was instead given a serious warning by the former.

"Korne, you must stay focused and not look around."

She could accept not responding to the question; it was because she was always focused and used to a calm way of thinking, while the inexperienced Korne might not be so.

Out of consideration for our friends who benefit from this, it is still necessary for Nanyin to speak out.

Is there anything ahead that you shouldn't look at?

The blonde girl, unable to hide her thoughts, immediately spoke up, offering a candid account.

"The disheveled appearance of Zapdos, and the even more disheveled appearance of most Pokémon."

Upon hearing this explanation, both Blatano and Green's expressions grew even more solemn. They had already sensed a faint smell of blood and a strong ominous sign.

Slamming open the twisted metal door, and following a subtle change in my senses, I saw Pokémon lying motionless on the ground, their lives barely perceptible.

"Did they all die of old age?"

With a mixture of confusion and a sliver of hope, Diancie asked the question.

In the Kingdom of Mining Diamonds, and in Princess Pink Diamond's understanding, there are few unnatural deaths; most are peaceful deaths from old age, without illness.

Without uttering a word, Nan Yin gently patted the little princess's back, responding silently and comforting her with her actions; the cruel truth was left unsaid.

Her stomach churned, her throat felt dry, and Korni's legs immediately went weak, almost causing her to fall. If it weren't for the girl's prior warning and the arm she offered, she would probably have been too frightened to the point of fainting at first sight.

"really."

"No explanation is needed. As long as these are presented, the Flame Team will be unable to evade their crimes."

His tone was flat, as if he was suppressing something. Bratano tried his best to maintain his composure and not let his grief and indignation infect others.

Even when he was furious, he still had to consider the feelings of his two juniors.

"Hmph, it seems Team Flare is also a top-tier Plasma team."

With a cold snort, his green face remained unchanged, but his hands, hidden under his cloak, were clenched into fists.

He had seen far too many instances of such despicable behavior—disregarding the wishes of others in pursuit of so-called ideals.

"Nanyin, right? I'll have to trouble you again later."

Looking around at the still dissipating electricity, everyone knew that the source of this explosion, the Zapdos, was still alive.

Following the subtle changes in the volts upstream, passing through several damaged gates, they stopped in a wide area.

Without even looking up, the horrific scene that everyone knew was right before their eyes.

With drooping wings and dull plumage, the once-renowned Three Holy Birds now lay battered and exhausted, its head drooping, nearing death.

Upon closer inspection, several thick, insulated chains pierced through the former's humerus, pinning him between the two pillars, rendering him immobile.

"It's not just the external injuries; judging from the extent of the damage, the bird's internal organs have probably also suffered a great impact."

Based on his years of experience observing Pokémon, Blatano offered his insights.

"If the wound isn't treated and the bleeding isn't stopped soon, it might suffer the same fate as those Pokémon that have already passed away."

"Giant Mantis, Metal Claw."

Stomping on the ground and using the momentum to propel itself forward, the red-striped mantis slices through the air, slashing down its pincers at birds and beasts.

It wasn't that Qinglu was taking advantage of someone's misfortune; her actions were solely aimed at breaking those hard chains.

With a clang, a single claw strike landed on the surface, leaving only a few new marks. Fortunately, the scyther's remaining strength was not yet exhausted.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of punches and claw strikes landed precisely on the same spot, shattering the cracks with overwhelming force.

Ultimate body control and effortless application of force are the foundation for becoming a champion.

With the restraints gone, the golden birds immediately perked up, letting out joyful cries, some even spreading their arms to unleash a hurricane of fury.

Logically speaking, such a move would be enough to prove that the former was in excellent physical and mental condition, but Qinglu just sighed softly.

"This was its last gasp before it died. The sacred bird had exhausted all its energy and was unable to muster the strength to heal its internal and external injuries on its own."

Watching a life slip away is never a good experience, whether it's an ordinary creature or a legendary epic.

Unfortunately, the Poké Ball factory was located in a remote area, and even if Nurse Joy was summoned early in the morning, it would still take a considerable amount of time to get there. In the face of the fading vitality, the passage of time was too rapid, too cruel, and could not be stopped.

Mourning and lamenting, even the Zapdos, now free, folded its wings and landed behind the group.

It had realized that it was about to reach the end of its life and would soon turn into streaks of white lightning in this world.

Having abandoned its former irritability and arrogance, the sacred bird uttered a cry, also stirring up a gentle breeze.

This is to thank them for their words and actions, to express gratitude for the joy of regaining freedom, and to apologize for my mistake of misjudging people and wrongly blaming the innocent that day.

Having lost all hope of a cure, and awaiting the arrival of death, just when everyone thought so, a faint waveguide gave rise to breath, rippling through the sacred bird's mind.

Shifting its gaze, it saw the white-haired girl spreading her five fingers and placing them on the hair on her abdomen.

"Will you believe me?"

It is a gentle yet earnest voice, neither dry nor impatient, like thin ice on a summer day.

"howl?"

The meaning behind it is unclear, but the feedback from the waveguide is like warm sunshine, dispelling the weariness of the soul.

In the past, it might have been dismissive, but now, what is there to hold onto?

With its neck bent low before the young lady, Zapdos awaited its fate.

"I can help stabilize your injuries, but it will come at a price."

It's not a lie, and only Nanyin could help the desperate Sacred Bird at this time.

She carefully combed the messy fur of the former, and through her words and actions, she tried her best to express her closeness and concern.

"Nanyin, you..."

Unable to capture the waveguide's feedback, Blatano was naturally puzzled by his current actions, but then he remembered that it was the girl's first time mentioning the existence of the sacred bird, so perhaps he himself had some connection with it.

Perhaps, it's just a farewell to old friends.

Thinking of this, he stopped speaking and fell silent.

She was unaware of what others thought, but in Nan Yin's eyes, there was still a glimmer of hope.

[Individual: Zapdos Ability: Lightning Rod (Retained from a special generation)]

[Type: Electric, Flying; Category: Legendary Pokémon]

[Possesses the following attributes: Legend, Thunder Emperor, Divine Speed, Resilient Body]

Legendary: Global Attack +20%, Global Defense +20%, Global Speed ​​+15%

Thunder Emperor: Increases electric attack damage by 30%.

Resilient Physique: Global Defense +20%

Swiftness: Global speed +30%

The presented attribute panel is not the key point; the meaning behind it represents the real possibilities.

Even though the Palk Ball and the Poké Ball have similar effects, Pokémon captured by them are not recorded, but instead enter the queue in Nan Yin's mind.

While inside the data-driven vault, the elf's state will be temporarily frozen, and it will continuously consume available food to recover its stamina.

Therefore, the only way to save this Zapdos is to make it willingly submit to a human.

Compared to the past, Nan Yin was no longer troubled by money, nor did she need to worry about the path of cultivation, but this meant nothing to the sacred bird before her. The only thing she could show it was—

sincerity.

Without concealing her inner desires and thoughts, the girl bluntly told the other party the price to pay: subjugation.

Putting aside the arguments and rambling, even with Diancie's presence, she truly needs a fast-moving, ready-to-fight fighter.

The baby dragon certainly meets the requirements, but it is still immature and far from the time it needs to transform.

Without the help of others, she would have had a hard time turning the tide and avoiding danger when facing Pachira.

Therefore, I need this opportunity, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Perhaps this can be called despicable, but Nan Yin will not hide her selfish motives; she will still make a promise and a choice.

"If you are not satisfied with me as a trainer, you may leave on your own after your injuries have healed."

Enraged and agitated, the same old emotions lingered, but in an instant, Zapdos extinguished the thought itself.

Compared to the short-term constraints, the meaning of life is undoubtedly more precious. At least, the human in front of her has confessed his feelings; at least, she possesses a waveguide and can communicate with herself; at least, she defeated Pakira and avenged her previous injuries.

Moreover, after experiencing such torment and setbacks, it deeply felt the lack of power and the sorrow of being alone.

Companionship is something that is fulfilling and essential for everyone.

Since the other two sacred birds could not give it respect and care, it was naturally willing to place its trust in a human who had confided in it.

"howl."

He nodded calmly, watching as the girl took out the luminous blue sphere and held it against his forehead.

Without resistance, following the fluctuations of its thoughts, it found itself in an unfamiliar space and felt its wounds gradually healing.

Therefore, I felt completely at ease.

"Nanyin, what is this?"

Such a commotion naturally did not escape the notice of the people beside her. They did not know the significance of capturing a Pokémon that was about to perish, but when they saw Nan Yin nod slightly, they did not ask any further questions.

There's no other reason than trust is the best explanation.

Silently collecting data and photographing evidence, Officer Jenny and Joey arrived at the lower level one after another and took over the mission.

Gathering the injured Pokémon and confirming the identities of the deceased, they were able to extricate themselves from their busy work and return to Ancha's space to rest for a while.

"Kerni, Nanyin, I must thank you for your efforts today, especially for catching the base when I was negligent."

Apologizing again for his previous recklessness, Bratano poured warm water and brewed hot tea for the group.

"The alliance has not yet decided on the reward for this operation, but I personally want to provide you with the necessary compensation."

After exchanging glances with the young man playing with the illustrated guide, and confirming that everything was correct, he took out two exquisitely crafted wooden boxes from the counter.

"The contents inside might be of some help to you, and it can also soothe my guilt."

The wooden box slipped into my fingers without any noticeable weight, indicating that the contents were quite lightweight.

A sense of curiosity arose in Nan Yin's heart.

At this stage, apart from accumulating time, it's difficult to find anything that can help you grow quickly.

Looking up at him, and seeing that Bratano remained silent, she no longer hesitated and opened the flip cover.

It has a violet color, an engraved white-edged M logo, and a shimmering sheen on the surface.
