Saya was so surprised that she almost forgot to blink.

At first glance, the speech of an old friend in his hometown sounded like he had been left out in the cold for a long time, and he finally started to lose his temper after being accommodated once, but Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian knew that it would never be like this. Xiaoyun is serious and persistent about her dreams, if she says "still hesitating", then she is really hesitating.

It's just that......

The green-haired girl has been aiming to join the team since she was a child, so she and Xiaotian agreed early to become stronger together and seek mutual recognition, why did she suddenly start to hesitate when she was only one step away from realizing her dream?

The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and then Xiao Ye said, "Do you think Xiao Yun will suddenly lose his enthusiasm for the team?"

"No, it won't. Xiao Tian said with certainty.

"So, is it ......" Sayo hesitated and didn't say the second half of the sentence, and the listener had fully understood what she meant. The two were silent for a moment, and they all showed helpless expressions.

"Wait for her reply. ”

The silver-haired boy put a pause on the topic.

The lengthy healing session is finally over. After thanking Xiao Tian, Xiao Ye sat down at the table and took out a thick hardcover book from his backpack.

This classic textbook, titled "36 Ways to Use Moves", was actually purchased long before entering the Valley of Flames, but I didn't have a chance to read it carefully. Now that Xiao Ye plans to concentrate on training before the competition in Fengxue Mountain, she needs to write a good plan, and reading reference books has become a must-do homework.

It may be that there are not many times when Jinsheng has been reading books seriously since then-she has been reluctant to buy books in the past six months, and she has been poor for the past six months-even Xiaotian probed her head with a little curiosity. Seeing this, Xiao Ye showed the title of the book on the cover to Xiao Tian.

The silver-haired boy suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"36 Examples of Moves" is the most recognized textbook for beginners by vocational trainers, and almost every trainer training academy will list it as a compulsory book, and read it carefully from beginning to end. The book is divided into five volumes, all as thick as bricks, and contains a list of common uses of all moves, as well as techniques for combining them with each other. From basic techniques such as hardening parts of the body with iron walls and achieving spatial jumps with the help of subterranean attacks, to advanced techniques such as condensing black mist and scattering it in the air blade and emptying all invisible walls of light in the field, all of the more frequently used uses have been recorded.

Due to the longevity of Pokémon Athletic, almost every Pokémon and how to use each move have been studied in detail and thoroughly. Many researchers have said that there are no new tactics in contemporary times, only new combinations - understanding all the basic tactics recorded in the "36 Examples of Moves", being able to choose the parts that suit you, combining them appropriately, and using them flexibly, is in the eyes of many people as a sign that professional trainers have left the novice field.

It is also well known that this book is not for young people who are just starting to become trainers. If you rely too much on the routines summarized by your predecessors to win at the beginning, you may not only lose your own creativity, but also make it difficult to exercise your improvisation judgment. Therefore, it has become the consensus of all trainers to read the textbooks after accumulating a certain number of battles in the combat resume.

Trainers always have something to talk about when it comes to tactics – the two of them discussed for a while on the page they turned to "21 examples of how to use shadow clones." Xiao Tian had read these five brick-like textbooks before the Quartz League competition, and he had a little experience in this and gave Xiao Ye a lot of practical suggestions.

One morning passed, and Xiao Ye's notes were full of eight pages, and the ink was almost empty. Near noon, after finally finishing the training plan, she shook hands with her partner with a look of "worthy of beating off my skull with six to three", and sincerely expressed her gratitude.

It's just that the person who was thanked seemed to understand the expression of the junior student, and his face became a little strange when he accepted the thanks.

After enjoying a buffet lunch in the lively lobby on the first floor, the two did not go back to their rooms to study hard and began to walk around the cruise ship.

The third floor of the cruise ship is a wide open-air arena, which seems to be taking place, and many tourists gather around the ring to watch, and the explosions and cheers overlap.

The battle on the Sea Flame Horse appears to be a daily match, taking place in the form of a defensive attack with very simple rules. Everyone is free to challenge other trainers, and if they fail, they can rejoin at any time. When the sun goes down, everyone's results are counted, and the most wins will be awarded the prize of the day.

Although there were already many people on the field, the staff still warmly invited every passing trainer to join them. There are even loudspeakers that broadcast prize information on a loop at each entrance of the open-air arena.

“…… The prize of today's 'Sea Flame Horse Tournament' is a mini dragon egg provided by Ms. Tamao Kannuma, a well-known dragon attribute Pokémon breeder in the Johto area. The Pokémon Egg will enter the incubation period in 10 days, and the Sea Flame Horse can ensure that the hatched mini dragon is healthy and has excellent qualifications, making it the best choice for all trainers' new partners......"

In the brainwashing loop-like broadcast sound, Xiao Ye looked sideways at Xiao Tian, "Do you want to participate?"

The boy shook his head, "I have no plans to increase the number of personnel for the time being. What about you?"

"Same as you. ”

After exchanging unanimous opinions, the two slowly squeezed out of the crowd again, and it took a long time to get rid of the heat and smell of sweat that made it difficult to breathe in the middle of summer. The duo, who had almost lost half their lives, quickly slipped to the second deck and regained their health with the fresh sea breeze coming in front of them.

The clear blue sky is cloudless, and the sea level meets in the distance, creating a sea world with blue hues for travelers.

The deck of the Sea Flaming Horse is very large, almost the size of a small square. The central circular platform rises to the height of more than a person, and it appears to be a swimming pool on top, and you can go up the stairs to enjoy a unique swim on the ship. Deck chairs line the side of the deck, and some people lie on them leisurely, sipping cold drinks and sunbathing.

The crowds on the deck are quite lively, but nowhere near as crowded, and the temperature experience is much more comfortable than the three-story open-air arena. Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian looked around and fetched a cold soda to suit the atmosphere, and then walked to the edge of the deck to find their Pokémon.

The tyrannosaurus was thrown into the sea early in the morning, and must have swam happily. It's a bit strange that the water Ibu of the little sky asks to go into the sea to play - usually the water Ibu inhabits clear streams and is not used to swimming long distances in the ocean.

The trainer himself is not worried about this, presumably for this water Ibu, it will be easy to get on with the cruise ship.

The two stood by the railing and shouted a few times to the sea. Soon, their voices reached the ears of Pokémon-

There was a huge splash of water below deck. The dark blue water dragon leaped into the air and let out a hearty roar, startling many people standing on the edge of the deck to dodge. A column of water flew out immediately after it, spiraling left and right like a spiritual creature, and suddenly merged with the Tyrannosaurus's body.

And then...... The two young men watched as the water column spun at high speed, and even the tyrannosaurus with it turned into a drill dragon, and plunged into the water without a sound with the force of penetrating the entire ocean.

Sayo: "......"

Xiaotian: "......"

Xiaotian: "...... Sorry, the water Eevee it's a little carried away......"

Xiaoye: "...... No, it's okay, the Tyrannosaurus looks happy......"

The grin of happiness grows even wider—though it looks more like anger to those unfamiliar with it.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation behind him. The two looked back and saw several young girls standing near the entrance to the deck, in the shade of the eaves. They kept looking overhead with trepidation, as if they had found something.

"What's wrong?" asked the man next to him.

"We heard voices from above...... one girl carefully pointed to the eaves, "as if someone was banging their head against the wall." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the faces of those who were bitter about horror stories turned blue, and they had already imagined a dozen sea monsters - such as the classic story of the girl who hanged herself on the mast and turned into a ghost, cut off the head of every tourist who saw her body, and danced with the head on the deck every new moon night, which was still very popular on the Sea Flaming Horse the other day.

As if to echo the atmosphere, there were two more "bangs" from above. The eaves were only two meters high, and the sound seemed to explode on the scalp, causing the people standing nearby to scatter in a panic.

Xiao Ye's imagination in this regard is not so rich, and he walked under the eaves very calmly. She subconsciously wanted to open the waveguide to probe to see what was going on, but the power of the crystal blue had just risen, and her right wrist, which was not wrapped in bandages, was suddenly grabbed by her friend.

"Don't. Xiaotian said.

When the girl recalled the prohibition on the physical examination list to "avoid using the ability for a week", and quickly dispersed the fluctuations that had just gathered, he added, "I'll come." ”

Invisible fluctuations spread in all directions centered on the boy, locking on to the source of the sound above the eaves.

Xiao Ye paused when she saw her friend's expression, and then a small question mark vaguely popped up.

Xiao Tian: "King Carp." ”

Xiaoye: "......??"

She only felt confused, so she simply dropped the sentence "I'll take a look" and jumped towards the eaves.

The hem of the white short-sleeved jacket rises high like slender wings, blocking out the harsh sunlight. The girl's figure resembled a lithe bird, and it landed accurately on the edge of the eaves with an exclamation.

Xiao Ye only stayed on it for a few seconds, and then jumped down again, holding a king carp in his right hand - it seemed to have been dehydrated for a long time, and it seemed to be blind, and it writhed twice from time to time.

After realizing that the impact sound was made by the king carp, the onlookers collectively changed from panic to confusion.

"Why is the king carp stuck on the eaves......"

"Jumped up from the sea?"

"No, the ship is so noisy that the Pokémon in the sea don't want to get close. ”

"That only shows that this king carp is a little deaf. ”

The crowd of onlookers chattered and talked about it, and at the same time turned their eyes to the guy carrying the king carp - half of them were "the little girl is really bold", and the other half was "this is how you broke your arm, young man".

Xiao Tian's gaze turned back and forth between the carp king and Xiao Ye a few times, and his eyes seemed to be a little helpless. But in the end, he didn't say anything, and took the Carp King from Xiao Ye's hand, and after confirming that his life was safe, but he was dehydrated for too long and weakened, and sent it back to the sea.

Visitors are talking about why the king carp jumped on the roof – it is more than ten meters from sea level to deck, and it is impossible to accidentally land here unless you make the effort to jump into the waterfall. It's a pity that the carp king can't speak, and the idlers can't read minds, so they have to give up with regret in the end.

The Tyrannosaurus and Mizuebu still seem to be unsatisfied with the auger dragon's rides, so Saya and Tendy let them continue to play, leaving the deck for their final visit, or place of work.

The ship's training room is located on the third floor next to the open-air arena and can be used free of charge upon request at the front desk. There weren't many training rooms, but the two young men didn't seem to have to worry about it.

It's rare to enjoy a cosy cruise on a cruise ship, with a hot, rewarding tournament next to it, and no trainer wants to train with a stuffy head – just like traveling with a laptop claiming to write a paper and returning with zero words.

The two who are enthusiastic about "writing papers" successfully applied for the largest training room. The Pokémon couldn't wait to break the ball out and run back and forth in the empty training room, stretching their bodies.

Xiao Ye felt that Xiao Tian, who had carried out waveguide detection more than once, must have already discovered that she was carrying eight living creatures. But Xiao Tian didn't say a word about it, and in order to avoid an unexplained embarrassing situation, Xiao Ye also deceived himself that he hadn't been exposed, and only released five Pokémon - plus the tyrannosaurus rolling in the sea, which was exactly the legal upper limit.

Xiao Tian's gaze stayed on the forest lizard standing quietly next to the trainer for a moment, then turned to Xiao Ye and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

Xiao Ye has never refused a friend's request, and besides, this time Xiao Tian asked for something very simple.

The Grass Seedling Turtle he subdued in the other side is learning a new move, "Energy Ball". This Pokémon has a slow personality and has a strong endurance, but his reaction is often half a beat slower. Perhaps personality traits also affect the use of moves - its energy orb is too slow to charge, and it always slackens its strength when it is fired, and the good energy orb eventually turns into an energy sneeze. Therefore, Xiao Tian wants to ask the forest lizard of Xiao Ya to teach him this move.

After watching the energy sneeze and asking the forest lizard's opinion, Xiao Ye readily agrees to her friend's proposal.

The grass turtle seemed to like the scent of grass on the forest lizard, and the trainer immediately followed it slowly. The two grass-type Pokémon walked to a corner of the training room and began to exchange their experiences with the energy balls.

While several other Pokémon have very different missions.

Although I used "36 Examples of Moves" as a reference when writing my recent plan, the training menu on the cruise ship has nothing to do with the moves—compared to the trick training that can be done at any time, the rare geographical conditions of the "cruise ship" are the biggest opponent of this training.

In this regard, Leolu, who still felt that the world was spinning after taking seasickness medicine, raised his front paws tremblingly, and expressed his approval with a faint cry: "Woohoo......"

====================

Small Theatre:

Saya: Hmm...... (Looking at the slow-moving grass seedling turtle) (I can't help but secretly think of the predecessor of the paulownia who is very similar to it)

Xiaotian: (calmly) I think it's very similar to that - it's just that the grass seedling turtle is lighter in color.

Sayo: !?
