Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

There were no more words spoken, only the gentle footsteps accompanying the fading mist as they walked away, disappearing into the snow-covered streets and alleys.

......

"Mmm, that feels so good~"

The rising intonation at the end of the note, the relaxed eyebrows and eyelashes, were the pleasant calls from a friend.

"Ah."

Gently responding, it also submerged half of its head and face in the warm water, releasing a series of tiny bubbles.

It was not a deliberate action, but a natural and spontaneous move.

After the battle, they didn't rush to leave Yingxue City, but instead chose to relax at a nearby hot spring. After all, even if it wasn't explicitly stated, the fierce battle had taken a toll on the girls' energy.

Life used to be so busy that Nanyin never actually stepped into a hot spring to enjoy the scenes depicted in the manga. Now, taking advantage of some free time, trying out the architecture unique to this region is a perfect experience.

Rarely making a sound, the girl simply tilted her head back, leaned against the wall, closed her eyes to relax, quietly feeling the warmth flowing from her body to her brows and eyes, letting her thoughts wander freely.

Although he had won the duel, he found it difficult to feel joy.

The reason is simple: the victory was too humiliating, and the team failed to gain any advantage in on-the-spot command and judgment.

The shortcomings in the lineup and the mistakes in decision-making were all reflected in the battle against strong opponents. If it weren't for the timely evolution of the Shell Dragon and the formidable strength of Diancie, it would have been uncertain who would have won.

I won't be too harsh on my own children. They have done their best and overcome all difficulties to bring her victory. The real problem lies more with myself.

After forming a friendship with Zapdos and receiving gifts from White Dragon, Nan Yin naturally raised her expectations, lowered her guard, and neglected the most basic training.

It does not refer to training and nurturing one's own children, but rather to improving one's own skills and level in competitive play.

Reality is different from games. Every NPC that was originally in a game is a living, breathing person when you look at them.

These characters, who are frequently defeated by players in the original work, will actually continue to improve themselves and address the weaknesses of their lineup outside of the player's perspective.

The advantage of information is not fixed. For example, the Gym Leader's lineup did not originally include Ice-Treader and Alola Ninetales, but that elite known as the Ice-Treader obviously would not be limited by stereotypes. He would also adjust and optimize his build and keep improving.

In actual combat, this unevenness was clearly unexpected and affected her pre-planned moves, causing a series of chain reactions.

The misery and setbacks all stemmed from this reason.

Too arrogant. Despite being on the same level, they regard others as inflexible and mediocre people.

The company of Diancie and the accompaniment of Magiana gave her an excessive sense of confidence, and her past perspective once again limited her. Fortunately, this problem has now come to the fore, giving her a clearer warning.

The scenarios that young girls are familiar with probably won't happen in a very rigid way.

She let out a long sigh, letting her neck-length white hair drift away with the water, transforming into soft, flowing ribbons.

We must readjust our position and start afresh from our current standpoint. Having made this determination, although the battle was not smooth, our goal was achieved this time. Nan Yin clearly understood her own position and realized it with a very profound understanding.

"Buy~"

Almost identical to the former, the pink and white little beast also leaned against the wall and lay down, letting the ribbons flow and intertwine with the girl's hair.

The transmission of emotions was crystal clear, and the joy between them was even more intense as the steam rose and their ear tips turned red.

However, unlike Sylveon, Magearna and Zapdos stood on the outer edge of the hot spring, tentatively touching the water's surface, but then retreating repeatedly, looking at each other with a hint of bewilderment.

One is the shyness of a metal creation, afraid to step inside and sink to the bottom of the water; the other is the fear of getting its feathers wet, which would damage its image.

After all, a phoenix with its feathers soaked and drooping would lose all its majestic appearance and reveal its emaciated form. The saying "a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken" is indeed true.

Perhaps, only Scorpio and Kirby can really have fun here.

"Bang!"

Fluttering its wings, it moved between the inside and outside of the hot spring, just as it had in mind. The scorpion beast would sometimes fly up and down, hanging upside down from the dome, and sometimes land down and lie on the little snorkel's flat belly.

"Everyone is really full of energy."

Leaning close to Nan Yin, Tianxi was slightly moved by the different states of her companions, and calmed down to whisper words to the girl.

That was their own private space.

There were no overly active movements; tranquility and peace settled here, and it was precisely because of this that everyone's posture was able to fall into the view of onlookers.

Tall and voluptuous, the pure black one-shoulder swimsuit did not accentuate her figure, but it wrapped around her soft waist, shaping a pleasing curve.

It looks good...it looks really good.

Even though they were companions, and girls of the same age, Korni couldn't take her eyes off her friend.

Everyone has a unique personality. Nan Yin's calm and serene demeanor is often evident on the surface, and she is quite aware of this. However, this languid and delicate quality, imbued with the essence of moisture, is rarely revealed, making it all the more precious.

She furrowed her lashes, and for some reason, her breathing became slightly disordered.

The gaze lingered for so long that even the girl, lost in thought, could not ignore it.

While Korne was still marveling, the former had already turned to the side, bringing her delicate and attractive face closer, her originally azure eyes immediately filled with the white-haired girl's gaze.

Their faces were very close, and a fresh fragrance wafted over them; they could almost see each other's fine downy hairs.

"What, is there something on me?"

With a hint of doubt, she parted her pink lips, her warm, moist breath carrying a burning heat as it brushed against her face.

"I......"

My friend's posture was quite casual, with strands of her wet hair clinging to her skin, and a single strand falling from the side, landing on her neck and shoulder, reaching her collarbone, and gently sinking down into her ample bosom.

"It's beautiful, very...beautiful."

It was an unconscious outburst, and also the truth spoken out of helplessness.

The roar of the exhaust and the footsteps outside the curtain were a little noisy, but Korni felt that she was unusually quiet when she said those words, so quiet that she could clearly hear her own frantic heartbeat.

Her expression froze for a moment, then her gaze swept over her again. The pure white dress covered her vital parts, highlighting her fair skin. This conservative and restrained style did not conceal her temperament at all; on the contrary, it made her neighborly vitality stand out even more.

Unmoved by the previous praise and accepting it as a matter of course, Nan Yin spoke based on her own feelings.

"White suits you very well too."

Chapter 86 Flame Team Leader Vladari

Rub your palms together, exhale gently to warm them, and a thin mist rises from your lips.

It's a sign of early autumn.

The house wasn't spacious, but the lights stayed on for a long time. There was a wardrobe against the wall and a group photo hanging on the side. Even though it was small, it felt harmonious. After several moves, Nanyin had left the snowfield and returned to her small home in Miarei City.

Having briefly toured the many scenic spots of Carlos, this land has few places that can arouse her interest again. Thus, leisure and cultivation have become the main themes of her life, just like now.

Sitting upright at the table, she lowered her finger to the carving knife, comparing the figure of the mechanical puppet with the needle and thread, tailoring the clothes to fit the body perfectly.

“Could you please raise your hand a little, Magiana?”

"Ligu~"

With her hands obediently raised, Maya allowed the girl to take out a soft measuring tape, wrap it around her shoulders and waist, and carefully measure her.

"As for the style of the clothes, if you don't mind, how about a combination of lace, bows, frills, and ties?"

She may not have known how to knit before, but after reading and practicing, she has become familiar with the steps.

The presence of mental power and the focus of mind and body can ensure the stability of finger movements and prevent the needle and thread from being missed.

Spreading one's energy across multiple areas often leads to a lack of mastery, but for Nanyin music, the cost of learning it is not high.

A lack of knowledge can be made up for by repeated reading, and shortcomings in practice can be corrected by keen sensory awareness. When she truly puts it into practice, it means that the girl has full confidence.

It's not that she's superficial; the young woman takes every industry very seriously. The reason she learns skills in more fields is to be more adept at taking care of these children.

Making tools, raising spirits, providing proper food, soothing their minds... I am happy to devote my energy to anything related to them, and I am tirelessly learning from any help I can provide.

Although she may not be considered all-around capable at present, self-sufficiency is no longer a difficult task for her.

Just as Fu Ye said, the accumulation of knowledge and the parallel practice will eventually allow one to make connections and go further on the path of trainer and breeder.

The saying "It's never a bad thing to have many skills" is absolutely true.

She took out her paintbrush and carefully touched up the pinkish base color of the doll. Even though she was an artificial elf, Maggieana's personality was more like that of an innocent girl.

She is pure and innocent; she can be cheerful, angry, and shy. Beautiful clothes, exquisite decorations, and the attention of others are all things she cherishes.

Therefore, Nan Yin prefers to regard them as younger sisters or daughters, even though she had no experience in raising children in her previous life.

"Come here, little one."

Without needing to elaborate, Komagna had already listened to her heart and spontaneously lowered her head.

Nan Yin carefully tied the ribbon into the little guy's forehead after inserting the trimmed seashell bell into it and making a small knot. But this was not the end. She then took out the light stone that she had bought earlier and placed it in front of the soul heart.

Wild battles don't limit the number of items you can use, so if you can use them, you might as well prepare more and gain an advantage at the start of the battle.

Besides, hasn't this child always been concerned about her weight? This way, she can also get rid of her slight inferiority complex and restraint.

“...Li Gu”.

Feeling her body becoming lighter, the mechanical doll raised her small face, gazing intently at the girl's approaching eyes and focused expression.

The more she observed, the clearer her eyes became, until they turned into a delightful lotus root pink.

The fragrant aroma spread outwards involuntarily. Looking up at the courtyard, the plants that had been neglected for months had turned from withered and yellow to new green in spring, and many bright little flowers were in full bloom.

It was an unintentional feedback.

"Thank you for saving them."

Touching the little one's hand, Nan Yin led him outside to see the lush greenery and vibrant life.

"Are you happy? Because of your presence by my side, or rather, because you can follow your heart to play, go, and see things."

"Ligu~"

The metal shell is cold and stiff, unable to interpret the ups and downs of emotions; however, the ripples of the heart are like subtle waves, rippling through every little detail of life.

If asked what she felt, Maya was at a loss for words, but these days and nights were an experience she had never had before.

The white-haired girl didn't urge him with words; she simply guided him with gentle gestures, teaching him to indulge his nature and do what he loved, whether it was admiring flowers, appreciating scenery, or simply being with someone.

No longer burdened with a mission, no longer needing to serve the royal family, the mechanical doll was momentarily disoriented by centuries-old habits. Yet, she couldn't help but fall in love with this feeling, with the tranquility of the twilight, the subtlety of listening to whispers, and the warmth of mutual support.

"Mageyana, this is for you~"

With a light, bouncy motion, Diancie smiled and offered a dazzling diamond, which she then used to adorn the hem of Diancie's skirt and decorate the armor on her chest.

There was no mismatch in their fit; it was the tacit understanding and pre-existing coordination between the girl and the princess.

"Li Gu!"

She looked at the two of them somewhat helplessly. Having lived in the royal family, she knew all too well how precious diamonds were, but what was even more valuable was the other person's respect and care.

That was a level of respect and recognition that generations of the Azot royal family had never shown, so he had to reciprocate in kind.

A light tap with both hands produces a crisp sound that doesn't disturb one's thoughts, but rather brings comfort and clarity.

In just a moment, all the fatigue and bitterness that had been building up faded away.

Healing ringtones.

It wasn't just the young girl; whether it was the children nearby or the sacred birds in the distance, everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.

Gentleness is never deliberately highlighted; it is hidden in the daily life and revealed in everyday living. It is as clear as a stream and as profound as the earth.

Only then was this knot in my heart untied and sorted out.

"Thank you, Magiana."

This is as a thank you to the blonde girl.

Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, Korne, who had been training, tossed aside her towel and then engaged Lucario in close combat, honing her melee skills.

Such was the verbal message, and even if the children didn't say it, they were grateful and gradually accepted the companionship of the mechanical puppets.

Looking around, every Pokémon was honing its moves to some extent, striving for improvement, and doing its best for the girl at the Luna Reservoir Tournament.

Even the usually lazy Kirby half-closed his eyes, competing with the Armored Dragon to see whose forehead was harder.

After praising the little ones' efforts and gently comforting them, Nan Yin put on her coat and headed towards the back mountain outside the city.

It was naturally her good fortune to meet these children, but both mythical Pokémon and legendary Pokémon are rare and precious, and most people will never encounter them in their lifetime.
