Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But what were the results?

The place where baby dragons are raised often attracts people who look serious and are dressed in fancy clothes, leading a snotty-nosed little kid or a little girl holding a doll.

And each time they appear, it means that the baby dragons will have one less friend to live with.

At first, all the little ones were looking forward to being chosen, as they wanted to see the outside world.

Baby dragons are the same.

It often gazed at the sky, watching the dragons that occasionally flashed by, imagining that it would be like them after it left.

Until once.

A once close friend, nearly dead and covered in wounds, returned to their home and listened to its story.

Baby Dragon's curiosity about the outside world was instantly extinguished.

Leaving can have good outcomes, but bad outcomes are more common.

It began to learn to conceal itself and hide its brilliance.

Pretend to be a simpleton or a fool.

really.

Since then, the gaze that used to occasionally sweep across it, the gaze it once longed for, has disappeared.

And in the place where they live, there is now a silly and adorable baby dragon.

The baby dragon was brought here unexpectedly.

However, it wasn't worried. As long as it acted the same as before, looking silly and goofy, it would go back home quickly after taking a stroll.

The only thing Baby Dragon didn't expect.

Among the three Pokémon that came this time, there was a Goomy that seemed to be even less popular than it, which made Babedra feel threatened.

Fortunately.

The dwarf dragons are still as dazzling and eye-catching as ever.

But all of this was exposed when it made eye contact with Xia Yan.

Those smiling eyes seemed to have a penetrating power, seeing right through its little thoughts.

Looking at the baby dragon who was hurriedly lowering its head, Xia Yan rested his chin on his hand and chuckled.

He actually saw a precious dragon that knew how to hide its true abilities.

How could an elf hide its true abilities?

If Xia Yan hadn't seen the dragon dodge Professor Oak's hand, he almost would have been fooled too.

He knew that Professor Oak had brought these three little guys here to wait for him.

The point is to let him see the "real thing" before making a decision.

This can be considered as giving Xia Yan a little backdoor.

After all, Pokémon and their trainers also need to have similar personalities and a good working relationship.

Although Xia Yan was confident that he could train any of them well.

But since Professor Oak has given him another chance, Xia Yan won't refuse. What if he makes a new discovery?

It turns out.

Professor Oak's action was very meaningful.

Xia Yan did discover some interesting things.

Take this silly, adorable baby dragon, for example.

Xia Yan had seen hidden spirits before, such as the Aegislash when it was still a single-scabbard.

"I heard you chose a Bagon?" Professor Oak asked.

Upon hearing that he had been chosen, Baby Dragon lowered his head and showed no reaction.

“You can still think about it now,” Professor Oak said again.

Professor Oak had observed BabyDragon's personality.

Although he has no prejudice against any kind of elf.

But his experience also taught him that a personality like that of a Baby Dragon is not well-suited for being a trainer.

Furthermore, if a trainer fails to discover certain characteristics of a Pokémon, it can hinder the Pokémon's development.

"No need," Xia Yan waved his hand and said frankly, "Teacher, this is fine."

Baby Dragon suddenly raised its head.

With its back to Professor Oak, the baby dragon stopped pretending and stared straight at Xia Yan.

His eyes turned slightly fierce, and he bared his teeth.

"Tsk." Xia Yan clicked his tongue.

This is what a Pokémon like Baby Dragon should be like!

It's going to evolve into a ferocious Salamence in the future, so how could it possibly be without any temper?

The fact that it doesn't let Professor Oak touch its head shows that it's still quite proud inside.

I just don't quite trust the trainers outside.

"Baby Dragon's personality is a little different from yours..." Professor Oak reminded her at the end.

“No.” Xia Yan raised his hand, grinning, “It suits me very well.”

Doesn't Xia Yan also have two sides?

It conceals its shortcomings, and beneath that lies a fierce and ruthless side.

This combination is perfect.

Seeing Xia Yan's certainty, Professor Oak paused for a moment, picked up his notebook, and then smiled easily. "Alright, here's a Poké Ball for Bellatrix."

"Teacher." Xia Yan didn't answer immediately, but slowly reached out and touched the baby dragon's head.

The ferocity on Baby Dragon's face grew more and more apparent, and wisps of flame began to rise from its sharp teeth.

It has the air of someone who would bite Xia Yan if he dared to touch its head.

"Hmm?" Professor Oak looked at his notes, waiting for Xia Yan to continue.

Snapped--

Xia Yan finally placed his hand on the baby dragon's head and gently rubbed it.

The flames in the baby dragon's mouth had fully erupted.

But in the end, he still couldn't bite down.

because.

A soft tentacle appeared in front of it without it even noticing.

Soft as tentacles covered in slime, and eyes that were once timid but are now unusually determined.

Sticky Baby!

It appeared between Xia Yan and Baby Dragon at some unknown time, and even stood in front of Xia Yan to guard against Baby Dragon's attack.

Xia Yan grinned, showing his pearly white teeth, and gently rubbed the baby dragon's head.

Baby Dragon stared blankly at Sticky Baby, the flame in its mouth long gone.

Sticky Baby bit her lip, her timidity masking her stubbornness.

Professor Oak didn't see this strange scene; he was simply taking notes and waiting for Xia Yan to continue.

I waited for a long time but it never came.

There's no rush.

I'm going to record everything I observed today.

Xia Yan placed one hand on Baby Dragon's head and the other on Sticky Baby's head.

Feeling the warmth coming from her head, Nian Nian Bao was stunned for a moment.

"Teacher, can you tell us about the origin of this sticky treasure?" Xia Yan comforted the two little ones.

The Minidragon next to it stared blankly at the Babydragon and the Gooey Pokémon.

These two were clearly acting strangely just now; one was dazed and the other was timid.

How come you suddenly changed like this?

"Goomy?" Professor Oak flipped through his notebook and said slowly, "Oh, it's said to have been found by an expedition team from the League."

An expedition team?

This is also a relatively unknown department within the Alliance.

Their duty is to search for secret realms and alternate dimensions, large and small, that exist in the world of elves and in various regions and corners.

It is said that every member of the expedition team is quite strong, and they are all members of the Alliance with impeccable family backgrounds.

It is a rather special department within the Alliance, and its authority is also quite unique.

"Teacher, can I have two?"

"what?"

Professor Oak thought he had misheard.

Look towards Xia Yan.

His eyes glazed over for a moment.

Xia Yan then stuffed the energy cube into the baby dragon's mouth, and it chewed silently.

The energy cube that had fallen to the ground was quietly tucked into Gooey's arms, and it curled up again.

Only the previously poised and confident mini-dragon had a somewhat blank expression.
