Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

Chapter 203 Restraint and Humanity

"Long time no see, Danyu."

Unlike the other person's enthusiasm, Nan Yin nodded slightly and gave a light greeting.

"As expected, it's amazing to see Nan Yin at Blueberry Academy. It makes me feel like the world is so small."

Dan Yu carefully examined the girl, covered her lips, and spoke with a hint of admiration in her voice.

"Upon closer inspection, your figure seems to have improved."

"Thank you for your praise."

To be honest, this is indeed something that has been bothering Nan Yin lately. The increasing weight on her chest has made it a little inconvenient for her when she is active or sleeping.

Of course, in terms of the external curves, it is undoubtedly more full and shapely.

"Ziyu is here too. Shall we talk as we walk? Or should we find a place to sit for a while?"

With one arm outstretched, Danyu pointed to the empty tables and benches a little further away. Clearly, these were places the academy had specially set up for relaxation.

"it is good."

Without making excuses, Nan Yin pulled out the back of the stool and leaned down to sit.

She only had a vague understanding of Blueberry Academy, but fortunately, the siblings and Ziyu patiently explained the situation to her. This shows that past favors often come in handy.

"Hoo hoo, Nan Yin, do you know that ever since you left Beishang Township and summer camp ended, Xiao Li has been working especially hard. He not only studies Pokémon theory diligently, but also frequently challenges his classmates in the academy to battle."

As if filled with pride, Danyu spoke candidly about her younger brother's recent situation without any attempt to hide it; her upturned eyebrows clearly showed her delight.

"He said he wanted to work hard to become a trainer who could protect Ursaring from dissent, so he changed his appearance and challenged his way to becoming the champion of the League."

"Alright, sister, stop talking!"

Her face flushed slightly, and the shame in her heart made it impossible for Wu Li to remain silent.

"Bony?"

The little devil, who was holding Nanyin brand snacks, heard his name mentioned and looked up to see two people who looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he reluctantly broke off half of the cube in his hand and handed it to the boy.

“Bony…”

Her canine teeth were slightly visible, and her lips were slightly pouting; it was a sharing of something that felt a little heartbreaking.

"Phew, it's okay, there are still many more, and I will take care of you for the rest of my life."

Seeing this, Nan Yin found it somewhat amusing, and with a touch of indulgence, she pulled E Guipeng into her arms and placed him between her legs.

As her feet swayed up and down, the little demon sensed the girl's deep affection. Its star-shaped eyes shone, and it embraced her, sinking into her warm embrace.

Nan Yin rarely keeps Pokémon in their Poké Balls for long unless it's inconvenient due to their size or other unavoidable circumstances. How could she bear to confine a Pokémon like Evil Pounce, who is afraid of loneliness? After all, she already has the power to protect them and is not afraid of any covetous glances.

"No longer needing to wear a mask, Ergui Peng seems very happy. This is so good..."

Watching the heartwarming embrace between the little devil and the girl, Wu Li lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing the atmosphere.

"I told you, the people in Kitakami Township are too prejudiced. Urquid is such a cute Pokémon, much gentler and more lovable than those three greedy companions."

In contrast, Danyu was somewhat dissatisfied, resentful of the disliked faces of those villagers.

"Is Beishang Township Danyu's hometown? It's a pity that I didn't have time to participate in the summer camp at that time."

As she observed the spirit accompanying Nan Yin, Zi Yu became increasingly surprised as she saw it, her pink lips even slightly parted.

There are so many Pokémon I don't recognize; they can't even be scanned into the Pokédex.

Just as I had imagined, looking around, I saw an orange-yellow little beast lying on its hair, a pink diamond princess sitting to the side, and an ingenious doll leaning over to listen, creating a harmonious and natural scene.

"If the college organizes off-campus activities again next time, Ziyu can sign up. Although there aren't many outstanding places in Beishang Township, I will introduce them to you properly."

No longer as arrogant as before, Danyu extended the invitation with exceptional gentleness.

"By the way, why did Nan Yin come to Blueberry Academy? Even though I really hope it was to visit us, but..."

To stop speaking is to knowingly refrain from making a sound when it is impossible.

"Actually, it's because of this child, Egui, that I want to understand it further, including those masks and its special crystallized form."

Although the little devil is already by her side, there is no great need to pursue the truth further. However, the thirst for knowledge of the new generation will always provide a small boost when Nan Yin is thinking about her future.

"Is that so? Perhaps you could try to find Teacher Bai Leiya, Sister Nanyin. I heard that she is a descendant of the explorer Hai Zhe, a member of the expedition team that went to the Padia Pit a thousand years ago."

With a hint of uncertainty, Wu Lichang spoke.

After a string of victories, the boy was no longer timid, but became more confident, and even his words and actions became more straightforward.

Once the main topic of discussion had been settled, they began chatting about all sorts of everyday things, from the scenery along the way to the occasional amusing incident. However, it wasn't long before this joyful atmosphere was broken by others.

"Oh my, Danyu, Wuli, and Ziyu are all here, and there's one I haven't seen before... Could it be her, the one you guys keep talking about?"

With highlighted bangs, loose clothing, and a carefree demeanor, the person who arrived was a young man with white hair.

"Tsk, that annoying guy found out."

Upon seeing the former, Danyu immediately lowered her eyebrows, revealing an unwelcoming expression.

"Du Ruo, this is a guest. You can't say impolite things."

With her hands clasped together in a cross shape, Ziyu gave a soft reminder.

"Hey, why are you all so unfriendly to me? At least introduce me!"

"This guy is the Dragon King of the Alliance Club. He's an annoying boy and used to be the strongest student at Blueberry Academy, but now he's no match for Oguri."

Looking away, Danyu gave a soft hum, her voice tinged with pride.

"Although my sister's words were a bit excessive, Du Ruo does sometimes say things that are inappropriate and make the atmosphere less than pleasant."

With a smile, Wu Li explained the situation to her older sister, and at the same time, she also expressed her apologies to Du Ruo.

"This is Nan Yin, Carlos's Fairy-type Elite Four member, and that is Korrina, the current Gym Leader of the Sala Gym, and also a friend we are fortunate to have met."

"A genuine Heavenly King? May I challenge you?"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth was initially stunned, then directly challenged Nan Yin to a duel, seemingly unaware that the timing of the conversation was inappropriate.

However, before she could finish speaking, Danyu clenched her fists and glared at the person in front of her.

"So, I told you, you're an annoying guy. Didn't you see we were catching up with Nan Yin and the others?"

"You can't even defeat Oguri, yet you want to fight Nan Yin!"

It was a scathing critique that showed absolutely no mercy.

Chapter 204 Meeting with Bai Leia and Milton

After chatting for a while and saying goodbye to the students, Nan Yin followed Zi Yu's introduction and arrived at the Blueberry Academy campus.

"Click."

Looking around, the blue-purple lizard sometimes floated up and sometimes looked around, seemingly quite curious about this familiar yet unfamiliar environment.

Gently stroking the Taijing Bead at her waist, the girl clearly understood the reason behind the child's behavior. The connection between Blueberry Academy and Taijing Energy was not only reflected in the ecological community it created, but could also be seen in almost every visible corner.

Like the nearby pond and the flowerbeds on both sides, these places are filled with plants that can only remain evergreen in Padiyaa.

Isn't it beautiful?

With a slightly deep voice, a tall woman holding a pen and paper slowly approached the three of them.

"Oh, it's Teacher Bai Leiya!"

She gasped in surprise, then covered her lips, suppressing her slight astonishment.

Following the sound, a graceful woman came into view. Her fitted vest cinched her waist, and her crimson trousers accentuated her legs, giving her a clean and sophisticated appearance.

Moreover, when she turned her eyebrows to the side, revealing her beautiful eyes, she was exceptionally stunning, possessing a unique beauty.

"Hello, Ms. Bai Leiya."

"Yes, I just heard Ziyu mention that you are Carlos's rising star. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She extended her fingertips and lightly grasped his, Bai Leiya said casually.

"Nanyin Heavenly King, were you just curious about the ecology here? Or was it this Pokémon...?"

"It's called Milton, and it comes from Parthia."

Seeing that the former was interested, Nan Yin casually offered a few explanations.

Regardless of whether she comes from District Zero, Milton's identity is always meant to be revealed to the Alliance, and she doesn't mind slowly explaining her origins to others.

"I don't think I've seen this Pokémon in the Pokédex of Padia. Could it be from Sector Zero? But there doesn't seem to be a particularly similar image in the Book of Crimson and Purple."

Before she knew it, Bai Leiya had walked to the side of the lizard beast and even wanted to stroke its scales.

However, Milton immediately shifted his body and easily avoided the former, then returned somewhat timidly to Nanyin's back.

"That's quite intriguing, but I suppose Ziyu has something to say to me?"

"Yes, Ms. Bai Leiya, Nan Yin came to Blueberry Academy to learn more about Taijinghua in order to unravel the mystery of her companions. Therefore, the principal recommended you to her."

With a hint of helplessness on her face, the pink-haired girl crossed her hands and made a large X.

"Given Mr. Xi Lan's personality, this is quite normal. However, it is exactly what I wanted to do to meet a kindred spirit who is also interested in crystallization."

With a slightly intense gaze, the blonde beauty sized up Nan Yin and Ke Erni, as if pondering some possibility.

"Knowledge is a valuable asset, but talent is more precious than anything else. Nanyin Tianwang, my ancestors recorded the origin of terrestrial crystallization and the secrets behind this series of phenomena. Are you interested in learning more?"

With a focused gaze, even though it was their first meeting, the teacher spoke earnestly about the relevant matters, without any intention of hiding anything.

To be honest, Nan Yin felt that the other person was more like a fanatical researcher than a teacher.

"Appreciate further details."

Although she didn't have high expectations, perhaps, as a descendant, Bai Leiya did know some things that were unclear to the outside world, which is why she was so enthusiastic after seeing Milton.

It wouldn't hurt to listen.

Upon hearing this, Bai Leiya's face lit up with joy, and she handed the book in her hand to the girl, explaining in detail.

"The currently available Zhu Zhi Shu and Zi Zhi Shu have actually cut a lot of parts, while the original I have retains some content that is not recorded outside."

Following the other party's instructions, Nan Yin turned to the corresponding page and scanned the hand-drawn patterns and text one by one.

Unlike other books on the market, which black out key information, Bai Leiya's original not only meticulously reproduced the missing parts but also included her personal annotations in the corresponding places.

Looking down, sure enough, she found the crucial clue.

[The Pokémon in the Disc?: When I got separated from the observation team, I felt like I saw a strange object at the bottom of the giant crater. I don't even know if that mysterious object, the Threepence Pokémon, is still alive. Its shell is made up of multiple layers of hexagonal objects, more dazzling than gemstones.]

[Its shape is practically like a disc... I'll tentatively call this creature a Talebagh.]

"Taylorgos..."

Silently reciting the name, Nan Yin did not find any corresponding fragments in her memory. She was certain that it should belong to the new generation.

She glanced at the crystal pendant hanging by Bai Leiya's ear. She had once speculated about the origin of the Taijing fragments. They didn't seem like naturally formed crystals at all, but rather some kind of man-made creation.

Now it seems that Talebagos might have a very close connection with it.

"That's right, the Pokémon depicted above is called Talebagas."

Bai Leiya's interest was even greater after taking back the book.

"It is said that this Pokémon was discovered in a place even deeper than the current exploration limit of Zone Zero... although, this is not believed by outsiders."

It's understandable that people don't believe it; the reason supernatural books are called supernatural is because people don't believe that the things described in them actually exist.

Rather than calling it a book, it's more accurate to describe it as the private diary of explorer Heider. But how credible is a personal diary?

Even though the existence of Pokémon Masters and Secret Seasonings has been gradually confirmed, there is still too much information in the Book of Purple and Vermilion that remains unanswered.

"My dream is to find Talebagos and prove that Hector's account is correct."

"...That being said, I have not yet obtained the qualification to enter Zone Zero. I can only rely on the resources of Blueberry Academy to slowly verify the many possibilities of Taijinghua."

With exceptional candor, Bai Leiya spoke almost without reservation, revealing all her intentions and thoughts to Nan Yin.

She makes no secret of her ambition.

To prove that Hai Zhe's direction was correct, that is, to confirm that the contents of the Book of Zhu and Zi were entirely true, in a sense, as long as Bai Leiya could achieve this, she could inherit the legacy of her ancestors, make a name for herself in academia, and become a sought-after scientific research star.
