No.4 When the blade meets the shadow of the arrow

After a lunch break that was too turbulent, the three of them decided to go with each other into a breeding house on the outskirts of the city.

The cultivation house called "Mark of the Forest" is located at the entrance to the Gunsugi Gorge, and it is not very large, and there are not many Pokémon stored in the yard as far as the eye can see. On the other hand, there is a wide variety of food and medicine sold at the front desk - it is clear that this is a breeding house for people who want to train Pokémon on the island.

All licensed breeding houses can be used as Pokémon storage, and when trainers want to train more than six Pokémon at the same time, they will often teleport the Pokémon to the storage place and bring them to the nearest training location.

"Let's go say hi to Dr. Oki first, and teleport all the Pokémon here. Xinghai told the two children, "It's good to stay here with the Poké Balls, and we'll take the Pokémon into the mountain together." ”

After responding calmly, Xiao Ye cautiously searched for a teleportation machine far away from Xinghai and Xiao Tian's location, and after repeatedly confirming that they couldn't see the machine's screen, she pretended to operate it.

- Thanks to an illegal plug-in, Nighta's eight Pokémon have always been with the Trainer and have never been teleported to other incubators or Dr. Oki's Institute. Of course, she didn't dare to expose this illegal behavior in front of Xinghai, and always let the Pokémon appear in turn during the journey, creating the illusion that she only carried six.

's stable acting skills didn't make her recognized, but because the lineup was changed like a marquee, her companions couldn't help but cast strange eyes.

After the storage procedures were completed at the cultivation house, more than twenty Pokémon gathered together in a chaotic manner, and the howls of one after another made the silent canyon entrance immediately lively.

…… No, it seems a little wrong.

After a closer look, Xiao Ye shamefully found that the six Pokémon in the sea of stars were quite "adult-like", and even if they had different personalities, they did not make meaningless cries to disturb the people. Pokkigu was happily circling the trainer, while the rest of the team stood silently, waiting for the trainer's instructions.

And on their own side......

Looking at the big fire dragon and the big water dragon who were howling happily, Pichu and Leolu who had already fought for some reason, Snow Boy who happily sprinkled ice balls all over the sky, and Ghost Stone who bit the trainer's head and refused to let go, Sayo only felt that Mr. Xinghai who had made the invitation to train together might have begun to regret it.

The possibility of being expelled from the training team gave her a dull pain in her scalp.

It is also possible that he was bitten by Ghost Stone and felt a dull pain.

"Hmm......" Xinghai is also the first time to see the entire team members of Sayo, and I don't know if he is seriously expressing his opinion or joking, "Sayo's Pokémon are not like trainers at all." ”

Xiaoye: "...... I feel guilty for using the power of eight Pokémon to create a noise of eighty ......"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. The silver-haired first-level investigator said, giving the order in a natural tone, "Cane-tailed scale ankylosaurus, scale noise." ”

The dragon Pokémon with fighting attributes unequivocally opened its proprietary moves, and as the light waves spread, a huge noise echoed through the canyon.

Xinghai still had that friendly smile, "You see, my children can also be very noisy." ”

Sayo: "......"

You don't have to do that, do you......

Xinghai: "Okay, let's go, let's go back to the camp first and then announce the content of this training camp." The classmates don't have any opinions, right?"

Xiaotian: "Yes. ”

Xinghai: "Please speak?"

Xiaotian: "Can you take back the command of the scale noise? It's really noisy." ”

Xinghai: "Oh......"

The group soon arrived near the improvised stove that had been set up earlier. After announcing that the theme of the training for this half month was "actual combat", Xinghai motioned for the two children's Pokémon to follow his partner. The burly Charizard walked at the forefront, and soon led the mighty procession into the woods.

"The first week of training is not for trainers, and my Pokémon will act as their 'instructor'. Xinghai said with a smile.

As for what the specific training content is, Xinghai did not tell the two for the time being on the grounds of "maintaining a sense of mystery".

"So Mr. Xinghai, what should we do this week?" Xiao Ya guessed, "Do you want to learn theoretical knowledge?"

"No, those that you will learn when you enter the Trainer Cultivation Academy. Xinghai shook his head, "Regarding the content of your training in the first week, I think it's easier to understand than words or actions - Xiaotian. ”

"Yes. ”

The silver-haired boy replied and walked with his father to the open field next to him.

The first-level investigator was still smiling, but the smile was slightly different from the expression he usually showed to his juniors.

"Let me see how far your strength has grown. He said.

The boy bowed slightly. In the next moment, the long hair flew with the shockwave, and a crystal blue light rose from the soles of his feet.

The only onlooker looked slightly surprised.

Sayo knew that Celestial had the same abilities as her father, but it was the first time she had seen a companion use it. The energy envelops the familiar color, spreading like water waves, and also brightens the eyes of the viewer.

She saw as if translucent feathers flew from the soles of Xiaotian's feet, making the boy's steps lighter. The round ball of energy attacked the opposite side, and Mr. Inspector, who was in his own position, easily avoided the wave missile attacking in a straight line, and returned the favor with the same move with his backhand.

The fighting energy collided with the ground, stirring up billowing smoke. The arcing wave missile completely blocked the man's course of movement, but the boy keenly found another way. With the spread of the impact, he leaped high, the blue ripples condensed into sharp blades on his fingertips, and flew silently towards his father.

But the investigator's movements were far faster and more skillful than Xiao Tian's. The invisible shield had long since opened, blocking out all shockwaves, and a brighter light had gathered between the young man's hands in the form of a bow.

In the next second, the blue arrow broke through the air. It grazed the boy's neck and flew into the distant clouds.

"That's it. The light dissipated, Xinghai smiled and clapped his hands, "The control of strength is barely passable, and the sense of battle is seriously insufficient." Your ability to command operations can be considered excellent, but you can't neglect your own training - by the way, this time you lasted five seconds longer than the last time. ”

Xiao Tian nodded, not seeming to be annoyed by this one-sided competition, and looked to the viewer on the side, "This is what we trained in the first week. ”

"It was wonderful. Saya dutifully offered applause as an audience.

This is the first time she has seen the battle of the waveguide messenger with her own eyes, and she has only found a blurry video on the Internet before, which is really of little reference value.

"As you can see, it's important to play to this innate advantage as capable people. Xinghai explained to Saya, "Although we shouldn't go head-to-head with Pokémon in actual combat, the combat awareness and ability to pass the level are our weapons to protect ourselves. This self-preservation is especially important when your Pokémon is entangled in enemies and criminals are firing at you with forbidden thermal weapons. ”

After a pause, he added with a smile, "Especially for trainers who want to enter the Big Four. ”

"I understand. Xiao Ye nodded.

She was a little distracted for a moment, feeling that Mr. Searcher's words were somewhat similar to one of her own division commanders.

"Teaching you how to use your abilities is not for you to be chivalrous. You know, we're always unlucky, and if you get into an accident — like a knife-wielding robber, at least you can protect yourself. That's all that matters. ”

- That's exactly what the man said at the time.

"A waveguide is a force related to ripples and vibrations, and can be classified as a fighting attribute in nature. Xinghai has already entered the state of a lecturer at a prestigious school, "It's the same as superpowers, it can be used in a variety of ways, both offensive and defensive, and the range detection without dead angles and excellent long-range attack ability are especially valuable for trainers - after all, dangerous close combat is always a good strategy for humans." ”

Xiao Ye, a poor student from a famous school, shed a drop of cold sweat in the gushing teaching.

As a standard Assassin, the only way she can attack is to throw her knife out......

Perhaps recalling the scene of an arrow shot eight hundred miles away in the archery dojo in the past, even Xiao Tian blinked strangely. Only Xinghai, who doesn't know much about Xiao Ye's fighting methods, can still keep his composure and concisely end his tirade, "-I believe you don't really want to hear me continue to ramble, and the big truth will be left for a while." Anyway, Xiaoye, show me your strength first, right?"

"Yes. Xiao Ya, who can only "make a decision", nodded hesitantly.

Xinghai seemed to understand Sayo's reaction as something else, and added, "I saw your battle on Red Lotus Island, didn't I? Don't worry too much, just like you did with those members of Team Rocket, and slash at me." ”

As he spoke, the silver-haired young man smiled and spread his arms, as if he was about to melt the blade with his blazing embrace.

Sayo: "......"

Although I didn't have any concerns about this, Mr. Xinghai ...... It's hard to get into combat like this......

Soon, student No. 2, who was about to take the pre-school test, stepped into the open field.

Looking at the young man opposite, who always had a kind expression, Xiao Ye thought for a moment.

She knew that her fighting ability was "abnormal", something that shouldn't have been on "this body". However, this anomaly had been directly witnessed by the Shenyu Investigator on Red Lotus Island, and the other party chose to conceal it in good faith, not writing her performance into the report, nor trying to find any information from her.

There is nothing to hesitate about. Even with the harshest calculations, the Atlas Traveler still thinks he can trust him—

No, he should be trusted.

The sparkle of blue light shines through your fingers. It spreads outwards along the palm of the hand, condensing into the shape of a blade for a moment. A subtle ray of thunder shone under the girl's feet, and the information fed back by the waveguide made Xinghai's movements stagnant.

In the first second, the young man suddenly turned around, and the light blue light shield opened in front of him. When the sharp blade had already slashed at the shield, the wind was late.

In the second second, the figure in white disappeared again. It was impossible to see with the naked eye when she had completed her posture change, but the waveguide's detection ability helped Xinghai lock on to the direction of the attack. The blade-wielder swooped around the small shield of light, and the blade stabbed out from the bottom up, sinking into a soft cloud of light feathers.

In the third second, the tip of the knife, which should have lost its power, erupted with a sharp rainbow light. The young man had already dodged sideways in time, still being cut through his collar by the ripples of the wind blade.

Like a rushing thunderbolt, or like a howling wind—the shadows of the swords continued to bloom under the July sky.
