Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Tingting".

While eating his popsicle, Tingbao nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure called out, and then led Tingbao back to the food street filled with rich aromas.

A gust of wind followed closely behind.

the other side.

"Clear!"

Qingbao barked, indicating that it would immediately replace the dissipated clone. Today it would definitely find out what Xiao Xunbao and Lao Liu had been doing all day.

After saying that, he created a clone, sensed the surroundings briefly, and then transformed into a gust of wind that quickly blew in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang asked:
"You only had one clone that just vanished?"

Qingbao did not answer. At this moment, it was controlling its clone to follow Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao, while sensing the location of this clone and driving the other clone over. It subconsciously blocked out the surrounding noise and focused all its attention on controlling the two clones.

"Qingbao," Qiao Sang called out.

Qingbao still did not respond.

"Qingbao," Qiao Sang called out again, raising her voice.

When Qingbao heard the voice of his own beast tamer, his attention was slightly diverted, and the second clone he created dissipated once again.

"Qingqing..."

It looked at its beast tamer with a wronged expression and let out a cry.

"You only had one clone that just vanished?" Qiao Sang asked the question again.

Qingbao didn't answer immediately, but paused for two seconds before nodding and calling out:
"Qingqing."

Its attention was still mostly focused on the only remaining clone.

“You can’t do it this way,” Qiao Sang sighed.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao took a second to react, then looked puzzled.

“When training to control clones from a distance, the main body must not be affected.” Qiao Sang patiently instructed, “When using any skill, the main body should be the most important. If you had focused more on the main body just now, you wouldn’t have suddenly bumped into me, and you wouldn’t have been startled by some external noises and sounds, causing the clone to dissipate.”

"Only when the main body is in a stable state can the clone be guaranteed not to be affected."

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded in agreement.

It is extremely experienced in controlling long-range clones.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao's attention was unconsciously drawn to what her beast tamer was saying.

"Therefore, you need to focus more on yourself," Qiao Sang concluded, "so that you can train better in this area."

"Qingqing." Qingbao nodded.

It believed what its beast tamer said.

Just as it was preparing to unleash its second clone to catch up with the first, Qiao Sang said again:

"Long-distance training with clones needs to be done step by step. It's enough to have one clone to follow along. It's too difficult for you to control two clones at the same time for long-distance action right now. Only by controlling one clone can you focus more attention on yourself for now."

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked hesitant.

What if that clone also disappears?
"Didn't I say before? Stay calm and take it slow," Qiao Sang said gently. "Even if we can't make it today, we still have tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and Tingbao still has a month of competition time."

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao was still somewhat hesitant.

It wants to know today how Little Treasure Hunter and Tingbao managed to accumulate so many points while eating, drinking, and having fun.

Qiao Sang noticed Qing Bao's hesitation and said seriously, "Don't forget what I said before. The most important thing is not knowing what Xiao Xun Bao and Ting Bao have been doing all day, but your clone's training."

"Qingbao, you need to pay attention to yourself."

No, it's more interested in knowing what Little Treasure Hunter and Old Six have been doing all day... To maintain its image in its beast tamer's eyes, Qingbao finally nodded:
"Qingqing."

After saying that, it silently murmured in its heart: Qingqing... Qingqing...

Training the clones is the most important thing, training the clones is the most important thing...

Don't focus all your attention on the clones, don't focus all your attention on the clones...

Qingbao took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and began to adjust her mindset, focusing more on herself.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled with satisfaction, turned on the navigation, and headed towards the mission location.

If Qingbao's clones successfully relay the training, they will have finished investigating Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao's movements in a day. However, Qingbao will probably not be as attentive to training its long-distance clones as before. Only if Qingbao becomes interested in training a certain skill will it practice on its own without being reminded.

In this respect, it is somewhat similar to Little Treasure Hunt.

Of course, it would be best if Qingbao could successfully track someone for an entire day using a clone, which would indicate that its long-distance clone training has made a huge breakthrough.

Gangbao glanced silently at his own beast tamer.

Behind him, Qingbao remained focused and followed immediately.

……

Time passes slowly.

However, the sun was still high in the sky, so much so that it was impossible to tell how much time had passed just by looking at the sky.

A spa.

"Search?"

Little Treasure was enjoying a drink while soaking comfortably in the pool.

Tingbao was pouring cool water over himself, looking quite pleased.

"It's getting cold."

At this moment, a lizard-like aquatic pet walked over and called out, indicating to the two guests that their time had come.

Yantianxing's pet spa has always been popular with both people and pets. To prevent guests from occupying the spa rooms all day, the spas here are basically limited to time-limited services. Once the time is up, you have to leave unless you pay extra.

"Search?"

Little Treasure took a sip of his drink and exclaimed, "Has time really passed so quickly?"
"It's getting cold."

The lizard-like aquatic pet cried out, indicating that we keep track of time. You arrived at 2:32 PM, and it's 4:32 PM now, two hours later. There's no mistake in the calculation.

"Tingting?!"

Tingbao's eyes widened, and he exclaimed with a "what?" expression.

It's already this late?!
Since it frantically sought out opponents to fight yesterday afternoon and then rushed back, it has developed a sense of time and knows that the time its beast master mentioned is not far off.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter wasn't as flustered as it was yesterday. It calmly floated up from the spa pool, showing a composed expression, and barked, indicating that it wouldn't rush. "I've already found a place for you to find opponents. You'll definitely be able to accumulate enough points."

"Tingting".

Upon hearing this, Tingbao relaxed.

In its view, the boss is quite reliable in this respect.

After paying, Xiao Xunbao's eyes lit up with blue light, and he left the spa with Tingbao without saying a word.

It may say it's not in a hurry, but its actions speak louder than words.

In the corner, the wind that was blowing suddenly stopped, revealing "Qingbao's" head, which showed a confused expression.

The clone is unable to think; it only knows that the target has suddenly disappeared and doesn't know how to follow it next.

A tiger-like pet that happened to be passing by seemed to sense something and turned its head to look.

"Hoohoo!"

When it saw the head of a pet animal floating in mid-air, it was startled and reflexively roared.

An invisible sound wave rippled out, and the clone vanished without a trace.

……

Inside a residential building.

In the golden flames, the figure, which was originally covered in black fur and resembled a gorilla-like pet, lost its fur and revealed a human form.

As the flames subsided, the man eagerly looked at himself and exclaimed excitedly:

"Thank you so much! This is the first time I've ever met a beast tamer who lifted a curse so quickly!"

Qiao Sang asked casually:

Have you encountered many beast tamers who can purify?

The man stiffened for a moment, then sighed:
"The pet that cursed me was a hairy ghost. I had never seen a pet of this species before. When I first saw it, I thought it was a heterochromatic climbing ape, so I greeted it. I never expected that it would hold a grudge against me and curse me. I finally found a beast tamer who could purify to remove the curse, but it will come back to haunt me again after a while."

"How pitiful..." Qiao Sang said with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
"It knows where you live, so why don't you just move somewhere else?" The man said with a wry smile.
"It didn't know where I lived, but it knew where I ran my shop. My shop is right there, and it went to the shop to find me."

"There's nothing I can do about that..." Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Clear!"

Just as she was about to leave, Qingbao screamed.

The man was startled.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked, equally startled.

As soon as she finished asking the question, she felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, as if it had just happened not long ago.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked aggrieved and called out.

The only clone that followed Little Treasure Hunt also disappeared.

Qiao Sang: "..."

This scene did indeed happen not long ago...

She first said to the person who gave the task, "Then we'll be going now," and then led Ya Bao and the others out of the room.

After they went outside, Qiao Sang slowed her pace and asked:

"How did the clone disappear? Your energy was unstable again just now?"

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao cried out in grievance, indicating that its clone had been attacked and had disappeared.

After saying that, it quickly called out again:
"Clear!"

Little Treasure and Tingbao were playing together until its clone disappeared!

As she spoke, Qingbao added another call:
"Clear!"

Still soaking and having fun at the spa!
Qiao Sang: "???"

"They even went to the spa?" Josan couldn't help but ask to confirm.

Gangbao's lips twitched slightly.

The little treasure hunter is more playful than it imagined.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao was a little skeptical and exclaimed, "You can't be mistaken, can you?"

In its view, the little treasure hunt was definitely not like that.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao raised its two short toes and gave a solemn cry.

It guarantees, with its bestial nature, that what it says is true.

Ya Bao's mind started to get a little confused.

Could this really be true...?

They've been playing until now, even going to the spa for a bath. Could it have been the same yesterday...? Qiao Sang's eyelids twitched slightly. Resisting the urge to immediately go find Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao, she picked up her phone, checked the time, and said:

"Let's ignore them for now and continue with the mission. You can continue tracking them tomorrow."

"Clear!"

Seeing this, Qingbao couldn't help but call out.

What if Little Treasure Hunter takes Old Six away again tomorrow using spatial teleportation or teleportation?
That's a good question... Josan stopped and fell into deep thought.

"Xia Xia?"

At this moment, Xia Lala, who was in her arms, looked at Qingbao and called out.

Can't you let the wind tell you where they are?
Qingbao was stunned for a moment.

"Steel Chieftain," Steel Treasure translated in his mind.

After listening to the translation, Qiao Sang was also stunned for a moment.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao looked confused and called out.

Can the wind speak?

"Xia Xia."

Qiao Sang quickly looked at Xia Lala, she also wanted to know.

"Xia Xia."

Sharara cried out, indicating that the wind cannot speak, but it expresses itself in its own way, just as flowers and plants express themselves in their own way.

As it spoke, it looked at Qingbao and called out, "Xiaxia."

In my memory, you could communicate with the wind, just like I communicate with my flowers and plants.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao understood, her eyes lit up as she looked at Qing Bao and called out.

I didn't know you were so amazing!
Qingbao was somewhat bewildered, as this information was not yet in its memory.

“Steel Chief,” Steel Treasure translated in his mind.

"Communicating with the wind is like Xia Lala communicating with the plants..." Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart began to race. She looked at Qing Bao and said expectantly:
"Qingbao, let's try now and let the wind tell you the location of Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao!"

"Clear!"

Qingbao looked at her beast tamer, a serious yet slightly excited expression on her face, and nodded.

Then it closed its eyes.

After about ten seconds, a sudden gust of wind arose around us.

……

at the same time.

Charging station.

"Tingting".

Tingbao stopped one electric-type pet after another that was wearing a points recorder.

When the electric-type pet saw Tingbao's appearance and hesitated to refuse, Xiao Xunbao, standing beside it, showed an exaggerated expression of worry and shouted:
"Search!"

Calm down! Don't try to take on six opponents in one match!

Tingbao paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xiaoxunbao with a bewildered expression.

Didn't you tell me to take on six opponents in one match?
Little Treasure Hunter secretly winked at it, but continued to dissuade it with eyes full of worry:

"Search!"

Think about it again! Although you are a dragon-type pet, you have only just evolved to the intermediate level. It is absolutely impossible for you to take on six opponents at once!
Tingbao: "???"

Just as Tingbao was about to ask Xiaoxunbao about his doubts, the electric-type pet, which had been hesitant, suddenly let out a confident cry:
"Run!"

I accept your challenge!
After saying that, as if afraid that Tingbao would change his mind, he quickly pressed the points recorder.

A virtual screen appears above it:

[Race: Thunder Serpent]

[Level: Intermediate]

【Points: 232】

[Rank: 1000+]

Tingbao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and gave Xiaoxunbao an admiring look.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter didn't show any smugness; instead, he looked anxious and called out.

It's not too late! Don't look for other opponents! You've only just evolved, you can't beat them!
As soon as he finished speaking, the other pets that were still hesitating cried out, indicating that they were willing to accept the challenge, and then they couldn't wait to press the score recorder.

Some of the electric-type pets that were charging even cried out, asking if they could join the battle once they were finished charging.

Tingbao stared blankly at the scene before him, then his gaze toward Xiaoxunbao suddenly shifted from admiration to worship.

Little Treasure grinned at Tingbao, then disappeared behind the electric-type pets who were accepting the challenge, keeping his merits hidden.

Before long, a pet wearing a referee's badge appeared beside them and called out, "Lili."

After speaking, he pressed the referee's wristband.

In an instant, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped the surroundings.

The electric-type Pokémon that hadn't managed to secure a battle spot sighed and voluntarily withdrew from behind the barrier. (End of Chapter)
