Even compared with the Gyarado, which has the richest combat experience, Leolu is not inferior to the bravery and good at fighting. It was born in a giant wood forest with an extremely exclusive grass-type Pokémon. It has experienced countless battles since childhood and has never feared the enemy. Such Leolu certainly has reliable strength, but when it tries to fight under Xiaoye's command, it encountered a lot of problems.

It has formed its own unique combat habits and judgments, and it is difficult to completely obey other people's instructions. Of course, Leolu itself does not reject Xiaoye, and also wants to try to follow the instructions to fight, but the combat instinct formed over the years is not so easy to reverse.

One person and Pokémon starts with the simplest instructions, running, jumping or using moves, until the progress here is very smooth. However, when it comes to actual training, the cooperation between the two sides begins to arise. For example, Leolu instinctively dodges the opponent's attack before Xiaoye's instructions, or habitually attacks when he does not receive the instructions - after an hour of tossing, even Pichu, who is the opponent, is exhausted.

"Is it really that difficult to follow the instructions?" Pichu's ears were almost rolled into a question mark. "Even a guy as stupid as a Flaming Dragon can do it."

The Fire Dragon was shot with an arrow in a daze. He turned his head and saw that Leolu, who was so criticized, was filled with unacceptable words, and he was immediately wronged and deformed.

Leolu scratched his ears and heads and repeated the "following the orders" many times in his heart, but his true colors appeared again as soon as he started fighting. The rhythm of the fight in the battle was very fast, and how he acted was just a thought. The result of restraining himself was stiff and became a pillar. After hearing Xiaoye shouting "Exercise his strength", he was still stuck in his face by Pichu's tail.

Looking at the already dark sky, Pichu sighed, "I really didn't expect to accompany you to the special training for such a simple thing. Look at the snow boy, you're almost asleep!"

Leolu turned his head and saw that the boy Xue, who had eaten and drunk enough, was already drowsy on the ground.

My battle just now...is so boring? Leolu was trapped in deep self-doubt.

Xiaoye shook his head and gently poked Xue Boy's little hand to wake it up. "Xue Boy, if you are sleepy, go back to the elf ball to sleep, right?"

Xue Boy thought in a daze for a while, nodded, and hit the red and white balls around Xiaoye's waist.

Then... covered his head and sat on the ground in a daze.

Xiaoye couldn't help but smile and picked up the empty elf ball that was knocked out by Xue Boy, "It's wrong, it's not this."

Xue Boy was finally awake a little now, and saw that the ball that was sticking the small Xue Boy Q-version sticker hit it and turned into a red light and entered the ball. Xiaoye was about to get the elf ball, and the other hand was frozen in the air, but he let it go helplessly.

I was so anxious that I returned to the Pokémon with a header. It seemed that it was really sleepy.

Seeing that Leolu next to him had ended his self-disappointment, Xiaoye smiled at the blue dog with encouragement.

"So……"

As soon as he spoke, Xiaoye heard a slight "click" sound coming from behind him.

Their current location is next to the bushes at the end of the beach. There are many dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground, and after stepping on it, they will make such a crisp sound.

However, when she heard this familiar voice, Xiaoye instinctively felt a chill all over her body.

All Pokémons were in front of her. Under the coverage of waveguide detection, there was no breath of any creature behind her. So, who would have made this obvious trampling sound?

The alarm bells of crisis in my mind dispelled the vague sense of familiarity. Xiaoye bounced the empty elf ball in his hand without hesitation, throwing it as a hidden weapon in the direction of the sound. At the same time, he turned around quickly, and the light of the waveguide power had already wrapped around his right hand.

Then... Then Xiaoye froze in place with an awkward look on his face.

The silver-haired young man steadily caught the red and white balls and said a joke with laughter and cry, "Xiaoye, do you just want to conquer me that way?"

Xiaoye spoke for three seconds before answering the ice blue eyes that were exactly the same as the father and son in front of him, "Yes, I didn't succeed last time, so I had to try again this time."

No wonder Xinghai would sigh like this. The scene in front of him was almost exactly the same as when Xiaoye and Xinghai met at the underground base in Rainbow City for the first time - they could not sense the other party's breath, and they also smashed the sky elf ball as a weapon to fight time. After such memories, Xiaoye suddenly felt that she should reflect on whether her fighting routine was too single.

Seeing Xiaotian coming with puzzled eyes, Xiaoye waved his hand quickly, "Sorry, I just detected your breath in the sky, but I didn't expect that I suddenly couldn't sense it now. I thought some ill-intentioned person was approaching... Mr. Xinghai, is this your ancestral secret technique?"

"It's not considered a secret technique, it's just a trick to hide your breath." Xinghai smiled and returned the elf ball to Xiaoye, "It's so regretful that you failed to subdue this time~"

Xiaoye covered his face with a slap, "I'm really sorry, I'm sure I won't try to conquer you for the third time..."

As early as when I first met in Rainbow City, Xiaoye knew that the Star Sea had the skills to hide its breath and make waveguide detection impossible to capture. Unexpectedly, even Xiaotian learned this trick. It seems that he must be cautious when throwing hidden weapons in the future.

She didn't want to hit the elf ball in the face of her captain.

Xinghai and Xiaotian came to find Xiaoye after detecting that he had not left yet - Xiaoye did not ask why they knew their location. As bad as Xiaoye could detect the location of Shenyu and his son from a distance. It was easier for Xinghai to perceive Xiaoye's location.

Although Xiaoye didn't feel any other waveguide power passing through the sky, he was a little puzzled if Mr. Xinghai's waveguide power also had a hidden effect.

"Xiaoye, aren't you going back yet?" Xiaotian really didn't think that night was the time to train in the wilderness.

"Well, today's training task has not been completed yet." Xiaoye nodded.

Xiaotian looked at Leolu, who looked depressed and Pichu who was even more depressed, "Have you encountered a problem?"

"It's not a problem."

Seeing that Xiaotian and Xinghai did not mean to leave immediately, Xiaoye simply described the problems encountered by Leolu.

Xinghai expressed his understanding of this first. Many experienced trainers will also face this problem after subduing the very powerful wild Pokémon. The more good he is at fighting, the more difficult it is for the wild Pokémon who is alone to fully accept human instructions. According to Xinghai, he himself has conquered the leaders of a group, and it took several months before he gradually cooperated with each other.

"Don't worry, the time before the Quartz League starts is enough to get started." Xinghai blinked at Leolu obviously in a bad mood.

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded and responded.

When Xiaoye was considering whether to give up today's training, Xiaotian suddenly spoke, "Xiaoye, come and fight."

“Eh?”

"I think for Leolu, the Pokémon, whose opponent is also following the instructions, will make it adapt faster." Xiaotian explained, taking out the Pokémon with Xinghai's approval gaze, "How?"

Xiaoye thought about it and swallowed the "That's so troublesome" that he almost said habitually, and turned to his stomach, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, then please."

Therefore, the training content changed temporarily, and Pichu finally no longer had to take on the depressed sparring training. Leolu's new opponent is Xiaotian's Feitian Mantis.

This Pokémon is one of the elders in Xiaotian's team. Xiaoye has seen it many times on Honglian Island. It has the tacit understanding it gained after countless battles with Xiaotian, and it is two extremes with Leolu, who is not used to cooperating with trainers.

The battle between them continued from the darkness of the sky until the stars and the moon emerged. Leolu's performance was still so bad, but seeing the humans on the opposite side and Pokémon in unison, even the frequency of breathing echoed each other, Leolu really felt something.

At the end of the training, the silver-haired human walked towards it and said a few words to it.

"If you really want to be her partner, trust her and entrust her the outcome of the battle completely."

“—Since you have chosen her as your partner, you should do it.”

Leolu, who is used to being a Maverick, does not understand the meaning of "commitment", but it does remember what the boy said seriously and looks forward to the future soon.

It also wants to fight side by side with the trainer it recognizes like a boy and a flying mantis - a wish that already existed as early as the last day of the other place.

The training time passed day by day. Xiaoye and Xiaotian would occasionally meet in the back mountain and fight each other to hone their skills. With Xiaotian's intentional or unintentional assistance, Leolu grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and could already show off to Pichu that he had successfully executed ten consecutive instructions from the trainer.

Although he will still be mocked by the three words of the Electrical Mouse and can be snatched by the ground.

More than ten days later, Gyarado appeared on the southern coast. It was covered with interlaced scars, looking tired and embarrassed, but with amazing changes. After seeing the new abilities it gained, Saya asked in surprise what had happened to it, but Gyarado stubbornly refused to tell her experience.

Pichu, who was curious, was tortured and jumped up and down. He spent his whole life's language skills, but still failed to let Gyarado speak. He only gained many condescending eyes - which made Pichu say that it especially wanted to discharge electricity.

After stopping the internal strife with ease, Xiaoye did not ask anything. Gyarado had straightforward and thick lines and never hid anything. If even it refused to speak, it might mean that its experience in the past half month was indeed the secret of Pokémon in the sea.

Moreover, there are new changes in other team members that attracted Xiaoye's attention.

——She found that the Chariot's water resistance had weakened.

Pichu: (Half Moon Eye) So I can laugh at you every ten instructions.

Leolu:...!!!(I feel angry and embarrassed)
