Gible wants to be a trainer

Chapter 194 Warm Breeze Blows Across the Arctic Ice Field

"We can stop and rest in that ice floe area ahead."

Dr. Doron's voice came through the walkie-talkie again, as he pointed to an open area not far below.

Lu Sha looked in the direction he pointed.

It was a low-lying area nestled between two small icebergs, with a frozen lake situated there, its surface covered with large expanses of floating ice.

Between the floating ice floes, dark blue cracks in the riverbed were visible, and when the cold wind blew, those deep blue waterways rippled.

From a distance, it looks like someone has casually splashed blue paint onto a white canvas, creating lines of ink.

Further afield, the continuous snow-capped mountains resembled frozen waves, silently stretching across the sky and earth.

The two giant swallows folded their wings and slowly spiraled down, taking advantage of the airflow.

As the altitude gradually decreased, the howling wind gradually subsided, and Lu Sha could clearly hear a series of roars coming from below.

That was the cry of some kind of Pokémon, long and with a touch of laziness.

When the giant swallow's claws finally landed firmly on the ice floe, leaving several shallow craters in the once smooth snow, Lu Sha...

Only then could I see the scene not far below my feet.

"It is a group of Dianthus sea lions."

Dr. Doron was the first to jump down, his boots sinking into the knee-deep snow with a soft "crunch, crunch."

Instead of rushing forward, he turned around and reached out to take Xiao Chao off Da Wang Yan's back.

"Just observe from a distance, don't get too close. They're sunbathing together right now, and they'll be unhappy if disturbed."

Lu Sha followed his gaze.

About a hundred meters ahead of the ice floe where they landed, dozens of large and small sea lions, sea lions, and seal balls lay scattered about.

The largest adults are about four or five meters long, covered with smooth white fur, and their plump bellies rise and fall with their breathing.

They lay lazily on their sides on the ice floes, eyes closed, long canines dangling from their mouths, occasionally twitching their tail fins, too lazy to even open their eyes.

Smaller seal balls are only the size of a ball, with whiter and more delicate fur than adults, and are much more lively.

Several birds were splashing and playing on the edge of the ice floes, occasionally rolling into the sea, and then popping out of the water with a "splash," splashing up a shower of ice chips.

"Wow, so many seal balls!"

Xiao Chao, led by Dr. Doron, widened his eyes and cheered softly.

Before he could move forward any further, Dr. Doron quietly pulled him back.

"Don't rush."

Dr. Doron patted his head and turned to explain to Lu Sha and the others, "This ice floe area is inside the Arctic ice sheet, the largest habitat for Dionysus sea lions. The ocean currents here bring fish from the warmer waters to the south, so food is plentiful, and there are no fewer than three hundred Dionysus sea lions living and breeding here year-round."

"They have a total of nine ethnic groups, and the one in front of us is just a medium-sized ethnic group."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of binoculars from his bag and handed them to Cattleya: "I've observed this group a few times before. The leader is an old imperial sea lion that's over thirty years old and almost twice the size of a typical adult."

"Their overall level isn't high, mostly below the Gym level, but they have the advantage of large numbers and excellent teamwork. It's not easy for the average trainer to pass through this ice floe."

Cattleya didn't take the telescope; with her current eyesight and perception, she had no need for such a small tool.

She simply lowered her eyes, glanced indifferently at the group of people, then looked away and lazily climbed back onto Lu Sha's back.

One glance is enough for this kind of thing.

For her, what matters is never the scenery along the way, but the shark that accompanies her to enjoy the scenery.

She will remember the scenery, but it is the shark that accompanied her that will etch it deeply into her memory.

Lu Sha chuckled twice, clearly intrigued.

He was almost suffocating from the long flight.

It's rare to encounter such a large group of lively and energetic creatures; how could I not go down and have some fun?

"Young Miss, why don't you go downstairs and have some fun?"

Lu Sha poked the young lady who was lying on his back.

Caldelia didn't respond, but buried her face even deeper, clearly not wanting to move.

Look at the little one, the little one is rolling around! It used Hell Roll on its mother and hit her!

Hey, look at that one over there. It just climbed out of the water and fell back in. So silly, it looks a bit like you when you woke up this morning.

"Lu Sha!"

Cattleya gave a soft hum in her mind, her tone finally carrying a hint of reluctance.

"We're here! Let's go have some fun!"

Lu Sha grinned widely, chuckling mischievously.

Nothing special, I just wanted to try kicking the seal ball like a football.

The feel of those shoes is just so nice, they look amazing.

"Champions Cattleya! Shall we go down and take a look?"

Just then, Xiao Chao poked his head in, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes full of anticipation: "Before, I could only watch from afar. Daddy Duolun said it would be dangerous to get too close. But with Champion Jiaderia here, it'll definitely be fine, right!"

As he spoke, fearing that Cattleya might refuse, he quickly added, "I want to hug Seal Ball! Just one hug! I promise I won't run away! If that's not possible, can your Garchomp come play with me? He looks really strong!"

Caldelia originally wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but upon hearing Xiao Chao's words, she reluctantly opened her green eyes a crack.

She glanced at Lu Sha, then at Xiao Chao who was staring at her expectantly, and finally sat up straight on Lu Sha's back with a sigh.

"Alright, go now." She sighed inwardly.

Since Lu Sha wants to have fun, then let her go.

"Awoo!"

The largest sea lion was the first to notice the group approaching.

It lazily opened one eye, first looking at them warily, its long sea lion teeth gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

But the moment its gaze met Cattleya's, its somewhat cloudy old eyes suddenly paused.

The next second, this enormous creature, which was at least six meters long, slowly moved its body. The wariness in its small eyes quietly disappeared, replaced by an expression similar to that of someone seeing their owner.

It didn't roar, but just gave a low hum, as if tacitly approving the approach of the humans.

Seeing that their leader made no move, the surrounding sea lions lowered their guard and continued to lazily bask in the sun.

Dr. Doron's eyes widened, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

He had come to this ice field to observe it no less than twenty times. Each time he approached this tribe, he had to do three days of camouflage and scent treatment before he could barely get within fifty meters to observe them.

But today, things turned out differently. Just as Cattleya took a few steps forward, the old leader, whom he had studied for years and still couldn't figure out, actually made way for her.

"Kaka! (Young lady is awesome! This Pokémon is incredibly friendly.)"

Lu Sha chuckled and blew his shark arm around the air.

Indeed, hypnosis works well at any time.

However, when facing this group of ordinary Dianthus sea lions, the other side couldn't even realize that they had been hypnotized.

Xiao Chao hadn't thought that far ahead.

His eyes sparkled as he broke free from Dr. Doron's hand and skipped and hopped toward the edge of the ice floe, where several seal balls were playing.

"Wait, slow down!"

Dr. Doron called out hurriedly from behind, fearing that something might happen to his son.

But Xiao Chao had already run to his spot and squatted down in front of a round seal ball.

The little guy was about half the size of Xiao Chao, all white and fluffy, and looked very soft.

It tilted its head curiously, hummed and sniffed Xiao Chao's clothes, then suddenly stuck out its pink tongue and licked Xiao Chao's face.

"Hahaha! It tickles!"

Xiao Chao laughed so hard he rolled around on the ground, plopped down in the snow, and reached out to hug the little guy.

The little sea lion didn't resist at all; instead, it snuggled comfortably into his arms, looking as adorable as a large plush toy.

The two unsuspecting little ones started playing together.

Lu Sha watched this scene and simply smiled knowingly.

Sometimes, seeing this pure bond between humans and Pokémon still makes me feel incredibly touched.

Humans... no, I mean sharks, always seem to love seeing beautiful things.

Lu Sha suddenly turned to look at Jia Deliya, grinning mischievously, pointing at Xiao Chao's side and then at himself.

Following his gaze, Gadriya saw the little imperial sea lion rolling around and acting cute in Xiao Chao's arms, and then looked at her own nearly 2.5-meter-long giant shark.

Finally, she looked at her petite self.

After a second of silence, Cattleya's eyes darted around.

"Give me a hug!"

Lu Sha chuckled shamelessly.

Then, under his gaze, Cattleya floated off his back and landed in Lu Sha's arms.

Then, she curled herself up into a ball, and her usually cool and aloof face suddenly revealed a cute expression.

"Awoo!"

"Click? (Holy crap!)"

Lu Sha looked at the creature in her arms and shuddered, feeling as if the real shark was about to melt.

This is just too cute!

Holy crap!!!

Why does the young lady have this form?!

Lu Sha was completely dumbfounded, a silly grin on his face, and stood there frozen in place.

For a full five minutes, Lu Sha didn't move an inch.

It wasn't that Shark lacked composure, but rather that the young lady just now was far too destructive.

After finishing her actions, Gadriya blushed and slipped away, leaving Lu Sha behind.

Fortunately, she had hypnotized everyone, so only Lu Sha could see.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to think about it...

Waaah...

Cattleya subconsciously activated her telekinesis, sending the nearby seal ball flying into the air, colliding repeatedly with other seal balls before rolling far away.

Wow! That's amazing!

"Awoo!"

Hearing Xiao Chao clapping and the Seal Ball shouting happily, Gadria finally came to her senses and realized that her superpowers had gone out of control.

Just as she was about to put the seal balls down, she saw their happy faces as they flew through the air.

Seeing this, Gadriya glanced at Lu Sha, who was still standing there in a daze, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Using his telekinesis, the seal ball transformed into an ice ball and hurtled towards Lu Sha.

"Awoo!"

The seal ball cheered and slammed into Lu Sha's head, which Lu Sha instinctively caught and held in his arms.

"Click! (Who? Who attacked me!)"

This was the first time Lu Sha had been ambushed. Usually, with Cattleya around, he never had to worry about being hit by unexpected objects.

So, in just a second of thinking, Lu Sha found the culprit!

That young lady who threw the seal ball and then turned her head away with a smile on her face!

Hey, at least put on an act!

The sand shark puffed out its cheeks and looked at the seal ball in its hand: "Click! (Little gadget, want to experience the feeling of flying?)"

"Aww! (Yes!)"

"Click click! (Okay, let's go!!!)"

Land Sand Shark Arm charged up and slammed down in the direction of Cattleya.

The seal ball traced a non-parabolic arc in the air, and as expected, it went astray.

"Crack! (No cheating allowed! Have you ever seen a ball create a wavy trajectory when it's thrown?)" Lu Sha protested in dissatisfaction.

"That's because the seal ball didn't want to hit me."

As Cattleya blinked and spoke, a bunch of seal balls rose from the ground and hurtled towards Lu Sha.

"Haha! (That's not fair!)"

Lu Sha yelled angrily, dodging the ball while still managing to serve it at the young lady.

Although the trajectory of each shot was wildly erratic, it was impossible to hit the target.

The man and the shark started playing around in a wild and unrestrained manner.

Later on, Xiao Chao joined in and fought against Gadria with Lu Sha.

He originally intended to throw the seal ball at Lu Sha together, but the seal ball he threw at Lu Sha ended up hitting him on the head instead, and then he behaved himself.

He's young, but not stupid.

Dr. Doron stood at a distance, watching the man, the shark, and the cub bullying the Dianthus sea lion clan that he had studied for five years without daring to touch. His lips twitched uncontrollably several times.

Those are baby Dianthus sea lions!

Are they just going to let it fly in the sky like that, without any regard for its safety?

He had previously fed the seals, and they had chased him for several kilometers.

The differences between people are just so vast.

Yuko, the assistant beside him, silently raised her camera and took several photos of this incredible scene.

The sun lazily shone on all living things on the ice field, and the seawater gently lapped against the ice edges between the floating ice floes, making a soft, rustling sound.

At this moment, even this polar region, known as the coldest in Hoenn, seemed less cold.

As they played, darkness slowly fell.

In the dim sky, it looked as if a shooting star was falling from outer space, heading towards the Arctic ice sheet.

Behind this shooting star, a long green shadow trailed behind it.

The wind on the Arctic ice sheet seemed even colder at this moment.
