Chapter 168 Baby Dragon's Ambition
Because there were only two matches in the semifinals, Qingyu and Zhulan returned earlier than usual today.

Tomorrow, the final battle of this year's Dragon Attribute Masters Tournament will take place.

The two finalists were full of hype, both displaying dominant dominance in the semifinals, leaving the audience thoroughly entertained.

Therefore, before the match, many prediction posts about who would win appeared on Pokémon TV.

“Sinnoh champion Cynthia has single-handedly crushed the old Sinnoh Elite Four on her previous championship journey, so her victory is well-deserved.”

"Awatari, the uncrowned king of Kanto, would have become the champion long ago if he hadn't encountered three monsters at the same time. It's not surprising that he defeated the champion."

"Wait a minute? Who is Teacher Yu? Why does everyone say that he taught these two?"

Similar comments quickly went viral on the internet.

Qingyu and Zhulan were completely unaware of this.

Inside the gym, Milotic, who was in charge of taking care of the kids and was as gentle as water, immediately glided over to greet the trainer when he returned and wrapped itself around Cynthia.

During the slide, a layer of wet water marks was left on the floor...

Milotic is a very special Pokémon.

Although it resembles a sea serpent, it evolves from the fish Pokémon Feebas, and its evolution conditions are quite unique.

Besides using beautiful scales to assist in evolution, when the originally extremely self-conscious and ugly Feebas displays confident beauty, it can also naturally complete the evolution.

It is said that the beautiful, rainbow-like scales on its body have magical effects, emitting waves that soothe agitated hearts, purifying the minds of humans and Pokémon, and thus calming conflicts.

Therefore, it is also a very suitable Pokémon to serve as a nursery assistant.

However, there is also a rather strange rumor.

If Milotic gains Milotic's approval during its Feebas stage, it will exhibit a very clingy attitude after evolution.

Therefore, it is very popular among some trainer groups.

As soon as Qingyu stepped into the door with her left foot, she felt something bump into her calf.

Looking down, he saw that it was indeed the baby dragon with the hard head that had just hatched yesterday, bumping its hard head against his leg, as if to express its welcome.

Qingyu's lips twitched.

Pokémon are really outrageous. They were born yesterday and are already running around on the ground today. What kind of physical abilities do they have...?

Baby Dragon's "Tackle" attack isn't very powerful yet, but once it grows a bit older, we'll have to teach it not to attack its trainer so easily.

Otherwise, once it becomes a habit, it will be interesting if it evolves into a Salamence and uses itself to practice its Suicide Charge.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"Hey!"

After being lifted up by Qingyu with one hand, the baby dragon quickly let out an embarrassing, childish cry.

But soon, after being lifted high in Qingyu's hands and experiencing the feeling of looking down, the baby dragon quickly stopped moving and its eyes became full of light.

Upon seeing this, Qingyu couldn't help but smile.

So it's true that the baby dragon's desire to fly is a subconscious behavior etched into its DNA, even for a newborn?

While he was still in a daze, Baby Dragon, who had discovered his life goal because of being lifted up high, suddenly took a step forward and took a new action.

Then, by the time Qingyu reacted, the little guy had already let out a "whoosh" and mustered all his strength to sprint toward the vast sky beyond his palm.

Leap of Faith!

This terrified Qingyu. Fortunately, at 18, she was at the peak of her reaction time and immediately lowered her body, using her other hand as a cushion to shield herself from it.

This little rascal, he's only one day old and he dares to go bungee jumping, huh...?

Even the King of Hell would praise you for your courage!

Although she knew this was a baby dragon's habit that couldn't be changed, Qingyu still planned to wait until its body developed to be more resilient before making any changes.

……

After "carefully" preparing dinner for the whole family at the Sunshine Dojo, Qingyu, who had been busy (or slacking off) all day, finally had time to rest.

Mew did not appear at the Sunny Gym today.

Qingyu doesn't know its refresh pattern yet, but he guesses it's random, and it comes over to freeload whenever it remembers Eevee.

Sitting on the sofa, Qingyu and Zhulan chatted idly.

"By the way, what are your thoughts on tomorrow's final?"

Qingyu suddenly spoke up and asked, "No, but I'm confident of winning."

Zhu Lan smiled gently and blinked.

"After all, I've learned a bit from Coach Yu, who has a 'little understanding of tactics,' so I'm confident in that."

This time, she doesn't intend to continue with her previous style or use the tactics recommended by Qingyu.

Because Garchomp was about to burst with pent-up energy.

Tomorrow will be a great opportunity for it to show its skills and demonstrate its strength to the world.

"There is something even more important than that."

As they were talking, Zhu Lan suddenly spoke again, her gaze towards Qing Yu revealing a serious expression.

"You promised me that we would go back to Sinnoh for the New Year and travel to Kitakami Village together."

"No going back on your word!"

"Okay, let's go back after the Masters tournament is over."

Qingyu nodded. In fact, he had already made plans when Zhulan arrived.

It is estimated that he will have to leave Padia temporarily until the spring break ends and the students return to Orange Academy and the Road to the Championship officially begins.

I wonder how much those students, Nemo, and Pipa will have grown a month from now.

"Buy?"

Between Qingyu and Zhulan, Eevee suddenly raised its head, revealing a confused expression as it recalled something.

Beishang Township...

I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.

"I know I can't forget you."

Qingyu chuckled and scratched Eevee's chin, then spoke up to help it recall what it had forgotten.

"Didn't you see a part about Kitakami Township in the documentary you watched before? It has a beautiful natural landscape known as the Six Selections of Kitakami."

"You can go there and sketch to your heart's content, and maybe you'll even learn some strange and wonderful techniques?"

"Buyi!"

Eevee smiled longingly and rubbed against Qingyu's thigh affectionately.

As it moved, Eevee's body suddenly emitted a few rays of light again, which quickly disappeared.

Qingyu noticed the changes in its body and smiled helplessly.

This is a sign that it is about to evolve, and it has appeared once before.

But it seems like I haven't had a chance to use Eevee Z on it lately. If I don't use it more often now, I feel like I won't have another chance to use it later...

Oh well, I've already gotten my money's worth since I used it once.

Eevee can evolve whenever it wants, and he won't stop it.

After all, whether it's Eevee or Sylveon, they're both my adorable ones!
"road……"

As Qingyu sighed, Riolu dragged his tired body out of the training field.

During this period, under the strict guidance of Lucario and Garchomp, Riolu spent a tough but fulfilling time.

Although it hasn't been training at the Isle of Armor Dojo these days, its progress in mastering the Invisible Fist hasn't stagnated.

It has quietly reached the 80% mark.

Perhaps, the next trip to the Isle of Armor will be the time when it breaks through and truly comprehends the secrets of the Isle of Armor's martial arts style.

Only then will the steady Riolu choose to evolve proactively...

While Qingyu was filled with anticipation, she suddenly realized another problem—

If Riolu and Eevee are about to evolve, what will they do when they encounter slightly weaker opponents?
His gaze quickly fell on the baby dragon not far away, happily licking its fresh milk.

If this stubborn kid continues to have this much energy...

I think it will be easy to pick up and play in future matches.

Sorry for the wait, the Masters Tournament should end tomorrow, followed by the storyline of vacationing in Sinnoh and Kitakami.

I'll probably catch a Pokémon first when I go to Kitakami Township, but it's hard to guess which one!
