No.51 The omen of the storm comes from the end of the deep blue

Anyone who has been to sea all the time knows that even when the sea looks calm, the boat will still feel left and right – large cruise ships are already one of the most comfortable, and if replaced by a small fishing boat, it is enough to make anyone with no experience at sea vomit their intestines.

The wind and waves of the afternoon were not heavy, and the impact weakened through the layers of the heavy hull, leaving only a slight irregular shaking. After the Pokémon with slight symptoms of discomfort took the seasickness medicine, they soon became as alive as if they were walking on the ground - only Leo Lu, who was extremely transportation, was still tormented, and he almost fell into the arms of his old rival, the forest lizard, without realizing it. Frightened, Pichu quickly dragged the two of them away, saving Leo Lu from coming to his senses and finding his teammates to fight to vent his anger.

Xiao Ye originally planned to take advantage of the rare cruise trip to exercise the Pokémon's adaptability to transportation.

It is well known that for Pokémon running on land, the "shaking of the earth" can seriously affect their play. For example, there is a famous battle subway in the United Nation area, and the unique venue and rules attract many trainers to experience it. Maybe it's to deliberately create problems for passengers.,The battle subway is swaying.,Sometimes fast and sometimes slow.,I don't know how many Pokémon twist their feet on the spot with the wrong posture.,Or step on the air so that the face picks up the move.,The mistakes are wonderful.,The edited collection of funny images has exceeded one million views on N station.。

If you're a trainer who specializes in competitive competitions, there's no need for this kind of practice – after all, no major competition is held on a vehicle. However, if you want to carry out the "righteous and courageous deeds" represented by the Iron Cross to the end, it is inevitable to fight on vehicles.

After listening to Xiao Ye's training plan, Xiao Tian happily expressed his willingness to join. The two discussed it and decided to adopt a three-on-three dogfight. The training method is simple - one attack, one evasion, rotate every ten minutes, and mainly hone running skills. And the participants are naturally the "army" fighters in the ranks of both sides.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Tianfang sent out the Shock Beast, Shakiras, and Kung Fu Weasel. The members of Saya's side were not able to follow the usual path due to Charizard's agitation - the original plan to participate in the training was Pichu, the Forest Lizard, and Leolu, and now the Forest Lizard has been sent out for trick coaching, and a spot has been vacated in the team. Just as the over-energetic Charizard was clamoring to join, Sayroquan let it practice the difficult trick of flying indoors without hitting his head on the ceiling, and approved its application to join the team.

Leolu's severe seasickness makes Nighty a little worried, and she wonders if she should let her go back to the Poké Ball to rest first. Unfortunately, its dog temper is as stubborn as ever, and it refuses to skip the fight when it says anything, and the trainer has to let it go - at least seasickness will not harm his health, and he may be able to adapt to it as soon as possible.

Soon, a three-on-three melee began. Neither trainer had any intention of commanding, but just stood aside and watched the alternation of indiscriminate bombardment and head-hugging rats, occasionally making a few remarks.

For Pokémon who have experienced the Quartz League tournament, such sparring is not complicated, and they quickly master the rhythm. Only poor Leo Lu was dizzy, and as soon as he came up, he was beaten by Kung Fu Weasel's fist so that he couldn't find the east, west, north and south.

However, the pain seemed to make it sober up a lot, and it gradually caught up with the actions of the other teammates.

The snow boy who was held in Xiao Ye's arms shook his head to look at this one, and then at that one, and saw that although they were bruised and swollen from each other's noses and faces, they were all happy and energetic, so he exhaled a breath of reassuring coolness.

The Snow Boy twisted restlessly and looked to the other side—the silver-haired boy seemed to be holding a little guy about his size.

"Goh?"

Sensing the snow boy's glittering gaze, the bird Pokémon in Xiao Tian's arms let out a soft chirp.

"This kid is...... The egg from before?"

"Hmm. It just hatched not long ago. ”

Sayo remembers that Xiao Tian carried a Pokémon egg with him during the league competition, which is said to have been entrusted to him by a friend. At that time, Xiaojie and Xiaoling had been guessing the race for a long time around the light brown eggs - now it seems that none of the Golden Retrievers' guesses were true.

"Hello. Saya bent down and smiled at the tiny Pokémon.

The little bird did not recognize life, and let out a long series of cooing noises with enthusiasm, so fluttering that the trainer's shirt was stained with soft feathers.

Xiao Tian blinked and handed the bird Pokémon forward, "You can touch it." ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!"

It wasn't until the bird was squinted and drowsy that Nighta withdrew her hand contentedly.

Of all the bird Pokémon, the Wood Owl has the best fluff in the hand. Especially when the stiff feathers have not yet grown, the whole bird is almost a round ball of soft fur - just as every trainer wants to sleep on Kirbymon's belly, owning a live wooden owl pillow is also a common dream in the industry.

Newborn Pokémon are curious about everything around them. Seeing that it looked at the Snow Boy with round eyes and looked like it wanted to meet new friends, the two trainers simply put the little ones of similar age in a safe corner and let them play freely.

Mu Mu Xiao is a lively character, after being liberated from the arms of the boy, he will jump around the snow boy happily, cooing and chirping. The Snow Boy followed Mu Mu Xiao in a circle in a daze, and after a while, he lay on the ground and dizzy.

The light brown stuffed bird tilted its head and pecked at the Snow Boy's hat curiously.

Mu Mu Xiao: "Goo-go

Snow Boy: "Wooh. ”

Mu Mu Xiao: "Goo-goo!"

Snow Boy: "Huh?"

Mu Mu Xiao: "Goo ......Goo

Snow Boy: "Gooooooo

Young trainers: "......"

That doesn't seem quite right.

Xiaotian: "...... Sorry, it's a bit of a chatter......"

Xiaoye: "...... No, it's okay, maybe thanks to it, the snow boy can learn a skill......"

The Pokémon's training is gradually on the right track, the offense and defense are exchanged in a good way, and the number of crooked and twisted balls has also begun to decrease. Snow Boy and Mu Mu Xiao didn't want to miss the excitement at all, and took on the role of the timer of the trainer...... Or the chime boy. As soon as the crisp "cooing" sound sounded, the beaten party immediately counterattacked with a hideous expression, and the beaten party was so frightened that he ran away, and the training room was filled with happy air.

After a few back and forth, the trainer called a timeout.

The Pokémon were so tired that they were lying on the ground, but they still glared at each other unrelentingly, for fear of losing their momentum. According to this posture, after ten minutes, they will jump up and continue to fight each other.

Xiao Ye fed each of the six Pokémon an orange fruit to help them recover their strength quickly. When she walked back to the lounge area on the sidelines after work, she saw Xiao Tian placing the tablet on the table, and was concentrating on something quickly, which looked a bit like a music game from the gestures - but Xiao Ye knew very well that her friends never played such games.

After he finished his first work, Xiao Ye asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Exercise in reaction speed. Xiao Tian replied, showing the picture on the tablet to Xiao Ye.

Seeing the colorful squares shining on it, Xiao Ye suddenly became stunned.

The app, called "Cultivating the Hundred-Story Tower", is quite popular among trainers, and there are many mini-games that help trainers improve their skills. When Sayo was in Shinshintown, he saw Shigeru stuff Ash with the simplest "Attribute Restraint Table Fill-in-the-Blank" level - the result was naturally full of mistakes and people turned over on their backs, creating a topic of ridicule that Shigeru couldn't talk about for a day and a night.

Xiao Tian practiced the sixty-second floor of the "Hundred Layer Tower", reaction speed training. The 8x8 squares divided by the screen will light up randomly, and can be clicked before the squares go off, no different from the common whack-a-mole games in the old game halls - although the operation is simple, as time goes on, the frequency of the squares becomes faster and faster, and the duration gradually decreases, and the game ends with only one missed point, and the novice usually loses quickly in a hurry.

"Want to try it?"

"Okay. ”

Xiao Ye happily took the tablet. Seeing that his friend rarely showed a somewhat curious look, he was probably thinking about how many points the players who knew how to fight at high speed could score, but instead he had the illusion of a leader inspecting.

The silver-haired boy stood beside the challenger and watched as she clicked again and began "checkered whack-a-mole".

As the target's flash quickened, the girl's fingertips gradually flew over the screen. Her movements were precise and composure, her eyes focused only on the shadows of colored squares, and the noisy voices of the Pokémon did not reach her ears at all, nor could she interfere with her thoughts.

The score in the upper right corner is constantly increasing. Xiao Tian saw the numbers rise from 500 to 600 and then to 700 like a cloud, easily surpassing the highest score of more than 600 points he had ever scored.

This wasn't surprising - if Saya had been killed in front of the highest record as someone who had fought eleven minutes of high-speed combat, Tenny would be surprised. He was about to continue his attention when he was startled by a loud noise coming from the other side of the training room.

I saw Charizard and the training aids in the corner fall into a mess, and his head was buried under the thick targets, and for a while he danced and struggled. The shock beast remained sideways and avoided, with a look that it didn't want to take a hand at all - there was no doubt that Charizard was arguing with its opponent and slammed its head indiscriminately, only to knock the neatly arranged training equipment into a pile of rubble.

“......”

As a fellow villager, Xiao Tian has long been accustomed to seeing his friend's Charizard appearance from childhood to the ocean, and he is not surprised. He turned his head and was about to suggest that Xiao Ye start the game again, when he was suddenly stunned before he could say anything.

The coloured squares on the screen are still flashing rapidly, and the operator's fingers are dancing precisely with them. She still maintained the same posture and demeanor, as if she hadn't heard the loud noise at all.

The young man was stunned for a while, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw his friend's almost frozen expression of concentration suddenly change.

“...... Yes. ”

Her fingers were poking right on the forehead of the wooden owl, and the tips of her fingertips were unsuspectingly surrounded by the soft velvet touch.

Having fun with the Snow Boy and bouncing around like a bird ball, the wooden owl was completely unaware that he was causing trouble for humans, and when he was poked, he thought that Xiao Ye wanted to touch it, and turned into a puddle of bird cakes on the tablet.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye had no choice but to send an itch to wait. After the satisfied bird cake turned into a sphere again, flapped her wings and left, she reluctantly returned the tablet to Xiaotian.

Xiao Tian, who watched the whole process of the bird ball making trouble, raised his eyebrows and took the tablet.

In the upper right corner, the score of "973" is clearly displayed - if the screen is not blocked by the birdie halfway, there must be no suspense to break through the thousand points.

"Any tricks?" Xiao Tian sat down next to his friend.

Xiao Ye was still in a trance when she heard this—in fact, as a lifetime after 10,000 years, she used to be the only one who asked others "what is the trick", so that she was stunned for a few seconds before she woke up from a dream and replied, "It's not a trick either—as of my score just now, the speed at which the squares light up is actually not more than most people's reaction capabilities." So, it's not so much reaction speed that needs to be practiced, but 'concentration'. ”

The silver-haired young man nodded earnestly, and motioned for his friend to continue teaching.

"As long as you don't get distracted, I think everyone can score at least a thousand points. Xiao Ye quickly avoided the captain's "humble advice" gaze - this was too inconsistent with the previous way the two of them got along, "Personally, I am more accustomed to using methods such as psychological suggestion to enhance concentration, but it may not be suitable for others. ”

"Psychological suggestion?"

"Hmm. For example, when we notice that we have a high score and hope to break the previous record, we often get distracted and make mistakes, right?" Saya explained, "Then just repeat to yourself before the practice starts - what I'm doing is not for the sake of improving my skills or self-improvement, and the score means nothing to me." My task is just to 'click on the lit square', with no reason or motivation. ”

When these words were spoken, the girl's tone was brisk, as if the words she spat out were just casual jokes.

"Although the suggestion is very weak, at least it keeps me from being distracted by emotions for a short time. After answering, she looked at Xiao Tian with an expression of "If you want to try, I can talk longer and more".

A hint of thoughtfulness flashed in the young man's eyes, "It's the same with the 'eleven-minute high-speed battle'?"

"Yes. ”

Xiao Ye nodded honestly, but saw that her friend suddenly changed the topic and pointed behind her, "Did you hear the sound just now?"

"What ......?"

The sight of the image that caught her eye made Saya choke back - the poor training equipment had been stumbled by Charizard at some point. The big guy knows he's in trouble and is trying to get them back in place, but the more hectic he gets, the training room looks like a demolition site, and the other Pokémon are too scared to help.

"I'm sorry, I'll clean up!"

Xiao Ye ran away in a cold sweat, and his head was full of "how much money will I pay if I break the equipment". Xiao Tian raised his head, and his eyes swept over his friend's back with heavy thoughts, and he was cautiously restrained.

"I'll help you. ”

As he spoke, he walked into the "demolition site" where people were turning on their backs.

An afternoon was spent in training to the fullest. When the sun sets, the two hand over the tired Pokémon to the small Pokémon center on the cruise ship and go to dinner together.

They had planned to go and enjoy the sea breeze for a while after dinner, but when they walked out of the restaurant, they found a mess on the deck. Visitors are hiding in the corners of the edge and whispering, and a few staff members are in the middle of the deck, struggling to clean up something.

"You didn't see it late, but a group of ink seahorses somehow jumped onto the deck, spraying ink everywhere, and several people's clothes and shoes were damaged. Seeing that the newcomer looked confused, one tourist explained, "You see, it's been cleaning for a long time, and you can just see the color of the floor." ”

Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian immediately looked at each other.

Wild populations of Ink seahorses are usually very vigilant and do not approach human ships, and it is hard to imagine them deliberately jumping in groups towards bulky cruise ships. What's more, spitting ink is the reaction of the ink hippocampus when it feels dangerous.

It's like ...... Panic into the wrong place as well.

In the worried chatter of the tourists, a vague sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of Xiao Ye's heart.
