Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"Peace of mind."

Without a furrowed brow or a change in expression, those two simple words not only conveyed the girl's unwavering composure but also easily soothed her friend's discomposure.

No longer panicking, but simply looking at the figures of those who came before her, Korni spontaneously calmed her mind and placed her trust in them.

Keep it.

Their hearts were in sync, just like their composure on their faces. The sense of crisis had been relayed to many of the small beasts long before the flames began to rage.

Raise your little hands and gather them in front of your chest. Following Diancie's soft chant, several rock spikes immediately tore through the soil and rose up from the ground, smashing the oncoming wave of flames into dust, preventing them from advancing any further.

The cool evening breeze blew at the right time, lifting her cascading hair. Without any extra movement, Nan Yin simply raised her smooth chin and looked at the two uninvited guests with a calm gaze, as if to say nothing more.

"Tch, arrogant girl."

Leaping out from the dissipating smoke and dust, even though the flame vortex failed to work, Greninja still used the obscuration of its vision to get close and raised its rapidly spinning water blade to slash at the enemy.

However, the shuriken formed by the water flow did not hit anything; it merely sliced ​​through the air and landed on the soil beside the girl.

As if she had foreseen the future, as soon as the Greninja broke through the dust, Nan Yin moved her feet and sent Korni away, also avoiding the slash by a very small margin.

How did you perceive and dodge a Pokémon's attack while in a human body?

Although there are many trainers in the world who also train their bodies, the two girls in front of us are just young girls. Regardless of their experience or ability to adapt to the situation, they should not be able to reach that level.

Unwilling to believe what he saw, Lylet preferred to consider it a lucky coincidence, like a blind cat finding a dead mouse.

"Shadow sneak attack."

With the old force gone and the new force yet to arise, the inertia prevents Greninja from abruptly stopping its movements. It can only let the residual force dissipate before it can turn around and counterattack.

However, Nan Yin was no ordinary person, and how could she possibly miss such an opportunity?

The waveguide's resonance reveals Greninja's intentions, and the presence of telekinesis allows it to exert force the instant a thought arises, causing the movement to become distorted.

The moment the flaw was revealed, the brilliant moonlight had already covered the night, washing away the gloomy earth.

The power of the moon.

"Buyi."

The tacit response came first, followed closely by the binding effect of the ribbon.

Even with a thousand thoughts, Greninja could not overcome its inertia, break through the barrier of psychic power, and avoid the pouring moonlight.

Double the restraint, one strike is enough.

As expected, this was the outcome. However, with a barrier right behind it, Greninja, though severely injured, managed to stay upright and regain consciousness.

"Light Screen." As she gave the command, Marilin glared at her male companion with displeasure. "Lelte, pay attention. Even if the Pokémon are strong, those two girls are still fragile. Don't forget your skills as a ninja."

Putting aside his earlier contempt, after being attacked just now, Lylet could no longer look at the two of them with the eyes of an ordinary person.

As mentioned earlier, the stronger a trainer is, the less they will neglect physical training, and having trained in a ninja village, he naturally has the skills to master them.

"Greninja, Smoke Screen."

Stepping on the soil, kicking up dust, several figures aimed at their targets and threw a dense barrage of sharp hidden weapons in the dim light.

Neither he nor Marie were trainers in the league, and their long history of stealing had shaped their unscrupulous personalities.

They thought their abrupt attack would easily end the battle, but the white-haired girl's reaction was surprisingly swift. At this point, they no longer concealed their ferocity and ordered all the lurking Pokémon to swarm in.

"Nanyin."

Even though the transmission of her thoughts was unimpeded when she called out the girl's name, there was still worry in Diancie's eyes. She could hardly defend against the multi-pronged attack by herself alone.

"Don't worry."

With Zapdos as her trump card, she was in an invincible position from the start. Since she had the rare opportunity to fight in the wild, Nan Yin wanted to see what her limits were without the help of others, and how well she could cooperate with those children.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, she dodged the attacks with a slight sidestep and a quick movement, strolling freely amidst the rain of hidden weapons.

Passing through a sea of ​​green, not a single leaf clings to you; that's exactly what it means.

There's no particularly sophisticated technique involved; Nan Yin simply penetrates the smoke, capturing all the premonitions and intentions of the other person's movements, then giving them a pre-emptive physical signal to elicit a subtle reaction.

With the assistance of waveguides and telekinesis, and the high degree of integration of knowledge and action, short-term predictions of the future are no longer difficult for her.

"How can this be?"

"Lelter, what are you doing?"

It wasn't an easy battle; the Red Fox and Korrina's Lucario were locked in a fierce fight, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

“Marilyn, this girl is simply not a normal person.”

After the attack, Lyle naturally noticed something was amiss. Under the cover of night, the white-haired girl's pupils glowed with a violet light, and an invisible force pushed aside the tools, crushing and grinding them step by step, like the drumbeats of a marching army, moving upstream.

Damn it, where did this superpowered person come from?

I thought he was an easy target, but things have turned out differently...

Looking at the pink diamond princess who was ready for battle, and at the girl who was getting closer and closer, the man already had the idea of ​​backing down.

In that moment of relaxation, a powerful force swept over his entire body, violently pulling him from the tree branch and throwing him towards the abruptly rising rock peak below.

Suspended in mid-air with no place to gain leverage, even with his teeth clenched and his voice hoarse, he couldn't put up any decent resistance.

The combination of his weight and mental power caused a sudden, heavy blow to his waist and abdomen, causing Lyle to vomit foam and lose most of his consciousness.

At the same time, the mismatch between his physical and mental state also made the man feel uneasy.

Grasping the soil around you, the warm, damp dust in your palms is not only sticky and slippery, but also causes dizziness and fainting.

Is this... a poison caltrop?

"Bang!"

Perched on Nan Yin's shoulder, the indigo-colored little beast scratched the back of its neck, seemingly still a little embarrassed at being exposed.

"Damn it, Greninja, sneak attack on vitals, charging straight at the bear, lightning speed!"

Even though he was severely injured, there was no chance of recovery when he was on the battlefield. Besides, he was absolutely unwilling to beg from the little girl in front of him.

Breaking through the cold wind, the streamlined raccoon stomped the ground repeatedly, quickly reaching its maximum speed.

"Rock Seal".

Without aiming for precise hits, Diancie's boundless energy is enough to alter the surrounding terrain in an instant, turning flat surfaces into rugged terrain and unobstructed straight roads into deep ravines.

While its rapid advance was indeed impressive, it had to change course and slow down when faced with towering mountains, thus losing its momentum.

Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Greninja had already darted to the girl's side, gathering its deep black light, intending to tear her apart.

However, just like the rewind of the previous footage, Nan Yin simply shifted her shoulders and waist, tilted her snowy neck back, and the dancer, like a knife's edge, narrowly avoided the direct hit.

The violent wind pressure even cut through the strands of hair, but it couldn't damage the inside, let alone go any further.

"General."

The words spoken to the other party for the first time so far are also the final resting note at the end.

In the space that was given up, Sylveon, who had been waiting for a long time, stood still. Without saying or doing anything extra, the little beast simply waved its ribbon, compressing the space for dodging, and also gathering energy, which turned into a blazing beam.

Like a horizontal blade, the surrounding bushes were cleaved in two by this powerful blow, leaving deep burn marks.

Destructive Death Ray.

By leveraging the advantages of a man-made environment and seizing opportune moments when no one can react, the fairy skin is imbued with power, and the accumulated advantages become the premise for attack.

This is a 100% hit on the vital point.

With its limbs drooping and consciousness lost, Greninja's stand ended there, and Lyle, who knew of the existence of telekinesis, never placed her hopes on a sneak attack on a vital point.

"Marilyn, it's up to you now!"

"Lelter, in the end, you still have to rely on me. You're really useless."

Leaping from the shadows in front of the young woman, Mary Ling brandished her dagger, seemingly trying to turn the tide of battle in the moment when her strength was exhausted.

However, the feedback from her thoughts had already helped Nan Yin discover the other party's hiding place.

With a fluid bow and a graceful lean, she let the blade slice through her hair and fall into the air.

Logically speaking, dodging to the side naturally offers more room for error than crouching down and losing sight of the enemy. But just as the former thought, Nan Yin also made a decisive decision.

The chaotic fluctuations did not originate from the surrounding spirits. From the backpack the girl was carrying, a silly head peeked out—it was a young dragon that had never participated in a battle before.

Taking advantage of the Palu Ball, she placed the little guy inside just before the attack, all for this moment.

In the field of vision, the woman with red hair still stood in front of him, swinging her dagger in the air, stiffened by inertia, while the girl was bowing her head and bending over, with only her protruding backpack higher than her slumped shoulders and neck.

There was no obstruction between them, and as the young dragon sobbed and hissed, the turbulent ripples shattered the air and poured straight into Mary Ling's face.

boom--

The dull thud of flesh hitting the ground echoed outwards, and the scales of victory tipped completely.

"Thank you for your hard work, little one."

Touching the forehead of the precious dragon, the woman in front of them, who had just uttered harsh words, now lay limp and motionless with her hands hanging down.

It's no wonder Nan Yin was so ruthless. Faced with a villain who showed malice from the start and threatened her safety, how could she soften her heart and let such an unstable factor exist?

"No need to rush, the Officer Jennys will be here soon. You must be called Lyle, right? If there's anything else you want to say, you can take the time to catch up with your female companion."

Taking the remaining Poké Ball from the man's waist, the girl, out of pity, gently comforted the helpless man.

Of course, the definition of comfort is only defined by the person who has a grasp of the overall situation.

With the still-powerful Straight Bear suspended in mid-air, Nan Yin spread her five fingers, indicating that the guy lying on the ground was still under her control.

So what should be done in this situation?

Lost in confusion, witnessing the current tragic scene, and looking back at the red fox with the demon tail who had been punched into a tree stump and smashed into several boulders in the distance, Xiong fell into a long period of contemplation.

—Is it a Pokémon, or are these two humans high-threat Pokémon?

"Nanyin, I've finished dealing with things here too."

Kernie rubbed her reddened fists as she strode toward her friend, flashing a smile to express her comfort and ease.

How could the children of a fighting family not put effort into physical training? Her best friend, Bea, could exchange nearly a hundred punches with a powerful opponent. Although she herself was slightly lacking, she could still handle most Pokémon with weaker strength.

"I did a good job, didn't I?"

Looking at the fire fox lying in the tree pit from afar, and seeing that the former did not seem to be struggling, Nan Yin was still surprised, even though she wanted to remain calm.

My own cheap friend seems to be quite remarkable in terms of physical strength and energy.

"Leaving aside the process and initial response, the result is barely acceptable."

"Hehe, it's super easy~"

Naturally ignoring the premise, this was the first time she had received approval from her friend. A hint of pride shone on the blonde girl's face, and a secret joy lingered in her heart.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lyle really wanted to speak up.

He admitted he had chosen the wrong target and run into a tough nut, but in terms of the extent of his actions, this girl was clearly terrifyingly ruthless.

The manipulative movements, the poison spikes laid out, the hidden attacks—these are tactics that ordinary trainers would never use!

Perhaps the waveguide captured the former's emotions, but Nanyin had no interest in paying attention to or understanding them.

Since she struck first, violating the rules of combat, she should have been prepared. She didn't consider herself a saint; whether it was a direct confrontation or a sneak attack, as long as the means were effective, Nan Yin would use them to the fullest extent.

As for how to explain it?

—As an ordinary trainer, she acted impulsively and didn't remember anything. When she came to her senses, she found herself in her current situation.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Farewell Afterwards (4k)

"Thank you for your contribution to the security of Baike City. These two thieves had committed several crimes and traveled to many places. It was only with your help that they were finally caught."

The woman tightened the gleaming handcuffs, pressed her fingers against the back of Lyle's neck, and then lifted his bound wrists.

Applying a little pressure to prevent accidents is an essential lesson for police officers.

"It was just a small favor. On the contrary, Miss Officer Jenny, you have been running around so much, which is really hard work for you."

Sweeping away the dust and grime from the battle, and cleaning the little guys' fur to remove any foreign objects, Nan Yin was not pleased with the outcome of the wild fight.

That's always been her nature. Besides, in the girl's eyes, this battle, in which they knew each other inside and out, was unfair from the very beginning.
