Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 7 Everyday Extraordinary and Self-Presentation

Reaching some kind of peace with yourself is a relaxing thing.

This was the case with Lai in the afternoon. The subtle contradictions that existed in him were diluted or covered up to a certain extent.

The self-analysis and dialogue at noon did not really solve any problems, but the contradictions were indeed found. This allowed Lai to reach some kind of reconciliation with his own heart, and thus felt the long-lost emotional release.

The training session in the afternoon was easy to say the least, but difficult to say the least.For other members of the escort team, combining skills and covering each other is a basic tacit understanding developed through long-term cooperation. However, from Rai's perspective, it is obviously not easy for him who is used to fighting alone to adapt to such a fighting method in a short period of time. , the more realistic goal is to avoid adding chaos while playing its role.

In order to achieve this goal, Lai took the water jumping fish and the long-winged gull to carefully observe the behavior habits, skill mastery and energy use of other team members. Lai himself took notes from time to time, sometimes lowering his head, relying on subtle telepathy and interaction Communicate with your two partners.

The styles of the two Pokémon are similar to Rai's. They don't like to cooperate with others, and only accept the cooperation with their close partners.On weekdays, the combination of long-winged gull and water jumping fish, one space, one far and one near, is indeed tacit enough without external support.Therefore, neither Pokémon seemed very interested in the guards training on the field. The relatively calm Waterleap was still able to keep its composure, while the Winged Owl was a bit dishonest, swaying left and right. Thinking of calling it a day and going out to play.

In fact, there are not many references to the trainers and Pokémon on the island that can serve as references for Hydras and Long-winged Gulls.This is not because they are not strong enough. Not everyone in the escort team may be able to join the official coastal defense team of the alliance, but at least they all have the level to become a sailor escorting a large merchant ship.

Using the energy level information provided by Lena's simple golden finger, the average level ranges from 30 to 35. This alone is higher than the water leaping fish and the long-winged gull.Although there is a lack of large-sample data comparison, in terms of performance in TV games and other channels, it basically has the strength of the alliance regional conference main competition. Considering the rich experience of fighting bandits and ocean Pokémon, the actual combat level may be even higher. outperformed.

The real problem lies elsewhere.For the cultivation and training of Pokémon, energy level and combat experience are two of the dimensions, supporting the basic level of combat.But in addition, the number and proficiency of skills mastered, the adaptation, exploration and use of attribute energy, the development of limb development and physical abilities, and the maintenance and recovery of injuries are all extremely important aspects that determine a trainer. Whether it can go far.

However, compared to the "Pokémon World" in Reina's vague memory, where breeders and the concept of cultivation are widely recognized, at least in the Hoenn region, there is far less such awareness. Most people still have a relatively low level of understanding of the cultivation of Pokémon. In the initial stage, this is especially true in the southwest region, which is a borderland.Whether it is Battle Town or Pal Island, trainers and their Pokémon all have a very "sea boy" side - straightforward, strong, and a little rough at the same time.

Taking Merk's mosquito-repellent frog that was practicing water gun as an example, Lai found that its energy level was 37, which was only inferior to Uncle Brave's Crawfish, Stinging Jellyfish and Big-mouthed Bat. It was quite powerful in the escort team. , but this kind of mosquito-repellent frog only masters the five skills of slapping, water gun, foam light, mud shooting, and Taishan pressure, and the only ones that can really be used skillfully are slapping, foam light, and mud shooting.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that Merck has not tried to deeply develop the water attribute energy of mosquito-repellent incense frogs, let alone the fighting attributes. At the same time, during long-term training, the limbs of mosquito-repellent incense frogs have suffered a lot of hidden injuries. This puts many restrictions on its ability to learn boxing skills.From a pure combat perspective, relying on the magnitude advantage brought by the accumulation of energy, the mosquito-repellent frog can suppress the water leaping fish in a head-on encounter, but the water leaping fish has more solid energy, deeper development, and more diverse skills. Fish can choose a variety of enemy strategies to compensate for this disadvantage.Moreover, in terms of long-term development, Shuiyueyu has a lot of room for improvement. If mosquito-repellent frogs do not have enough high-quality resources to lay a solid foundation, it will be difficult to continue to make progress.

Of course, this strength is not considered weak. The guard captains of other island settlements and the squad commanders of the coastal defense forces are usually at the same level.But this phenomenon also fully illustrates the current situation. For most trainers, it is sometimes very difficult for a Pokémon to develop its potential and evolve into its final form. In the end, it is due to practical reasons. Considering this, forced evolution becomes an option that cannot be ignored.

Looking at the trained mosquito-repellent frogs, and then at the swimming fish and long-winged gulls beside him, Lai felt an inner sense of accomplishment.Although the so-called concepts of individual value and effort value do not exist in this world, with this as a reference, I carefully formulated a scientific training plan and occupied almost all of my spare time, combined with previous life experience and long-term hard study, research, and practice, and finally achieved success. The energy cubes with various attributes that were achieved finally played their due role.Perhaps in terms of resources, there is no truly cherished treasure, but other than that, Lai is confident that he will not be inferior to other excellent trainers and breeders.

Feeling the trainer's joy, the two Pokémon also raised their heads. "Goya." The water jumping fish put its tail on Lai Qing's hanging arm.The long-winged gull flew up gently and landed on Lai's head, looking majestic.

Training and fighting are hard and even risky, but Lai and his partners, who pursue stability and happiness, are equally happy to face these hardships and risks, because what they pursue also includes success and victory, which is precisely an important source of happiness.

This kind of pursuit, as well as the common character of pursuing the best in everything they do, has created a bond between them, and they can always stay together, as close as brothers, and connected in the soul.

Thinking of this, Lai suddenly realized something in his heart.Yes, it's too small here.Although my heart may not be big, for Shui Yueyu and the others, this place is too small, so small that as long as they grow up normally, one day they will be unable to use it.It’s not me who needs a bigger stage, but my partners.

Lai opened his mouth and said: "Shuiyuyu, long-winged gull, do you want to go out and have a look? Go to the bigger world and stage."

Two information signals came to his mind one after the other.The first one comes from the long-winged gull, which seems a bit blurry: "The world. Interesting and new ideas." The latter one comes from the water leaping fish. After about half a minute, it is much clearer. The general meaning is: "If it is like what the fast-swimming frog master said, If there are more, better opponents and new things that can bring more victories, then I am willing to go!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lai sat up straight and solemnly said to his partner: "Then, I am also willing to see the distant world and people in the distance with you, and to see new scenery!"
