"Are you guys...training?"

Hearing Qianye's voice, Heizi immediately threw the piece of wood in his mouth away and happily jumped into the boy's arms:

"Woo~ The big sister is teaching me how to bite and crush~"

Learning to chew things up? This is indeed a move that a coyote can master... By the way, why do you just call Kokodora the "big sister"? Is she really older than you?

Looking towards Kokodora, the silver-white head rolled its eyes in a very human manner: "This stupid dog has been studying for the whole morning and hasn't made any progress at all. It's so stupid!"

Seeing that the two little guys were fine, Qianye relaxed and began to say happily, "It's okay. Learning new moves takes time, so be patient, Kokodora."

"Excuse me... are you talking to Pokémon?" A surprised girl's voice suddenly sounded behind me.

Why is this so strange? After spending a long time with Pokémon, you can understand their intentions through body language. This should be the foundation of the foundation for both trainers and breeders.

He had originally wanted to reply to the person behind him like this, but when Qianye stood up, he was stunned for a moment—

Oh, yeah! I just now... did I understand what Heizi and the others were saying?

Chapter 12: Eevee Can't Attack

Pokémon language is a subject that Pokémon scholars, regardless of field, cannot avoid. If the language of all Pokémon could be truly deciphered, perhaps the myriad problems that have plagued the academic community for years could be solved.

However, unlike the clear directionality of human language, the syllables of Pokémon language are too simple, expressing different meanings only through subtle tones and frequencies. The pronunciation patterns of different types of Pokémon also vary, which poses a huge challenge to deciphering the Pokémon language.

Well... in a sense, I suddenly gained a skill that can save me decades of detours. Maybe I should go back to Pallet Town and discuss the issue of salary and benefits with Professor Oak?

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

The complaining voice beside his ears interrupted Qianye's thoughts. He turned his head to look at the orange-haired girl walking beside him.

Dressed in a crisp, sophisticated style, her hair is tied in a distinctive ponytail, with fine orange strands draping down her cheeks. Her neck, as white as a wild swan, is held high. Following her gaze downward, one can glimpse her delicate collarbone, its lines clearly defined, wild yet natural.

What? You're asking me why I didn't continue? Come on, as a young man in Kanto in the new century, I wouldn't do something as vulgar and rude as staring at a girl's breasts! Besides, there's nothing much to see on that plain without any peaks...

"Ah, I was just thinking about something else... Sorry, sorry."

"It's okay." Although she said that, for some reason, Xiaoxia suddenly felt very unhappy. Could it be that Xiaozhi, that annoying guy, was saying bad things about me?

After a certain Pallet Town boy was innocently blamed, Xiaoxia calmed down a bit and continued:

"Since you didn't hear me just now, let me introduce myself again - I'm Xiaoxia, from Cerulean City."

"I'm Qianye from Pallet Town."

Pallet Town again? Misty caught a glimpse of the Nibi badge pinned to her waist, and the two Pokémon, one black and one white, surrounding Qianye. She instantly understood:

"Are you also a trainer who's out traveling to gain experience?"

Another one who thinks he is a Pokémon trainer... Qianye was too lazy to correct this misunderstanding of him. He just responded vaguely without giving a clear answer.

However, this reaction made Xiaoxia more resolute in her judgment. She had originally approached him out of curiosity about the way he was communicating with Pokémon, but as they chatted, she discovered that his knowledge of Pokémon was incredibly rich, and with that brand new dark gray gym badge—

There was no doubt that this was an extremely powerful Pokémon Trainer... and judging by his knowledge, he was definitely not a newcomer!

Not realizing that he had been given some strange settings in other people's minds, Qianye just felt that it was almost time to separate. After all, if they took a few more steps, they would be out of the scope of Nibi City.

"Well, it was really fun chatting with you. I look forward to seeing you again next time... By the way!"

As she waved goodbye, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out a piece of letter from her backpack and said, "You're going to Cerulean City next, right? Can you do me a favor? Please give this letter to the three water ballet sisters in Cerulean City..."

……

Yuejian Mountain is a famous mountain close to Nibi City. More than 90% of Nibi City’s specialty stones are mined from the caves of Yuejian Mountain. At the same time, this is also the fastest passage from Nibi City to Cerulean City.

However, convenience and speed also bring certain risks. The Moon Caves are home to many Pokémon, some of which are quite aggressive, and there are many cases of travelers being attacked. But on the other hand, this is also a good place for new trainers to expand their teams.

In the dim light, several Zubats and Golbats folded their purple wings and quietly hung upside down on the stalactites. Suddenly, as if they smelled something, they made a few sharp noises and scattered.

One of the young Zubats flapped its wings and flew through several caves with a clear goal, finally landing on the shoulder of a walking black-haired boy.

"Ha, you smelled it, you have a really good nose."

Qianye chuckled and took out a blood bag from the backpack behind him. This was something he had prepared in advance at the Pokémon Center in Nibi City, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

The bat Pokémon that lives in the caves of Mount Tsukimi all year round has always had a bad reputation due to its habit of sucking blood, but what few people know is that their population is quite united. When the Golbat successfully obtains food, it will share the blood it has sucked with its hungry companions.

The key thing Pokémon scholars must remember is to let go of any fear or aversion they may have towards Pokémon, as these things can breed biases that cloud their understanding. This was the first thing Professor Oak said to Qianye when he first entered the institute, and he has always kept it in mind.

The young Zubat did not take the blood bag immediately. Instead, it rubbed Qianye's neck affectionately before showing its fangs and biting through the seal of the blood bag.

Unevolved Zubats don't have a large appetite, and when their blood bag was less than half full, they burped contentedly. However, having eaten and drunk their fill, they didn't fly away, remaining perched on Qianye's shoulder.

This is a symbol of friendship. When the fellow tribesmen in the cave see this scene, they will naturally not come to disturb Qian Ye and his group.

"Why bother trying to please them... If they dare to attack, just beat them until they dare not even think of anything bad."

Kokodora on the other shoulder said lazily, and with just a casual glance from her azure eyes, the Zubat's purple hair stood up unconsciously.

"Don't always think of solving problems with violence."

Qianye calmed Zubat down, then looked at Kokodalas with some resignation. He didn't know what to say to this troubled child beside him. Kokodalas was already like this, so wouldn't his evolution into Aegis turn him into some sadistic queen? Hiss...

Realizing his thoughts were heading in a dangerous direction, Qianye stopped immediately. It was a close call; he had almost been attacked by his childhood memories again.

"Zubat is fine, Kokodora is just..."

Noticing the little bat on his shoulder moving again, he originally thought it was still afraid of Kokodora's intimidation, but he soon realized that was not the reason -

Because a burst of noisy, abusive sounds also reached Qianye's ears.

"Woo?" Heizi raised Maomao's head and looked at him inquiringly.

After hesitating for a moment, Qianye made a decision, "Let's go and see what's going on."

The sound hit the rock wall and echoed continuously in the cave. As the distance got closer, the noise became louder and clearer:

"You can't learn this or that, so why are you still following me? Go back as soon as possible!"

Qian Ye frowned and quickened his pace. After climbing over a low rock wall, he saw a boy about his age with a sullen face, loudly scolding a little creature with brown fur, long ears and a fluffy tail.

That's... Eevee?

Eevee is a Pokémon that is loved and popular in the Kanto region and even in the whole world. In addition to its cute appearance that appeals to both men and women, what is more important is that it has the richest evolutionary routes in the Pokémon world. Together with the new form of Fairy Sylph Eevee that was discovered in recent years, there are a total of eight evolutionary forms. Therefore, it is also called the "Evolved Pokémon" by the academic community.

However, despite its immense popularity, Eevee didn't seem to be treated particularly well by this boy. The fur surrounding its body was droopy and dull. Its small body was covered in scars, some likely from the various energy-related assaults of Pokémon battles, while others... more likely resembled the work of human hands.

The boy became more and more agitated as he cursed. In a rage, he raised his thigh and kicked Ibrahimovic: "Useless thing, don't you like being beaten? Then I'll let you get beaten to your heart's content!"

After saying that, he was about to kick Ibrahimovic who had just been kicked to the ground. However, the huge pulling force from his shoulder made him lose his balance and he almost fell to the ground.

"If you have something to say, why don't you just talk it out nicely? There's no need to resort to violence." The boy turned around and saw Qianye's slightly unhappy face.

He originally thought it was someone else's family affair and didn't want to interfere too much, but after seeing the boy start fighting after a disagreement, he couldn't help himself.

"Who are you..." I originally wanted to quickly get rid of this nosy guy who came out of nowhere, but the hand on my shoulder was so strong that I couldn't break free at all, and I even felt a faint pain as if I was being crushed.

"What do you know? This guy hasn't learned a single attack move since he followed me. Every time we have Pokémon battles, he just gets beaten up unilaterally. What's the point of having such a useless Pokémon?!"

Hearing the boy's merciless rebuke, Eevee, who had just supported his body with his limbs, lowered his head dejectedly, and the light in his round eyes seemed to have disappeared.

"If you like, I'll leave this kind of trash to you. Don't bother me anymore!"

Feeling the force on his shoulder loosen slightly, the boy shook off Qianye's hand, glanced at the Eevee below, and strode forward without looking back.

"Buyi!"

Seeing its trainer ignore it and walk away, Eevee screamed in panic and was about to take off on all fours to catch up, but its leg injury flared up again at this moment. It lost its footing and fell to the ground.

"Buyi..." The mournful voice echoed in the cave, but failed to stop the figure in sight for even a moment until it completely disappeared.

Chapter 13 Evolution Society

"That's all right."

After putting the last bandage on Eevee's furry calf, Qianye stood up and clapped his hands, looking at his work with great satisfaction. The pointed ears were no longer drooping, and the brown fur had regained some of its luster.

"Bu~Eee~"

After shaking his front leg wrapped in white tape to confirm that he was fine, Eevee raised his head and looked at the boy with a gentle smile with his clear eyes.

"You said you'd repay me one day? There's no need for that. I only did some insignificant things."

After rubbing Eevee's head and smoothing the fur on its neck, Qianyeban squatted down, looked into its eyes seriously, and said:

"I won't stop you from finding the one who abandoned you, but Trainers and Pokémon are a family that recognizes and cherishes each other... A bond born of fate, and because of this bond, they embrace each other and face the future together."

"For a trainer like you, perhaps victory is the greatest wish, and those actions are not completely incomprehensible. I just hope that you can figure out what you want most, and not live as a vassal of someone else's dreams."

What do I really want...?

Confusion appeared in her round eyes. Ibrahimovic had never thought about this question before, so naturally she couldn't come up with an answer, but she still kept Qianye's words firmly in her heart.

"He's a good kid, what a pity..."

After waving goodbye to Eevee who kept looking back at him, Qianye couldn't help but sigh as he watched the other's figure gradually disappear into the depths of the cave.

"Coco~"

If you like her so much, why not just conquer her and keep her? Why are you talking nonsense?

Kokodora, who was lying on his shoulder, expressed her contempt for the boy's inconsistent behavior, but there was an inexplicable sour taste in her words.

Qianye shook his head. "I don't like forcing others. That was her own choice. It's just a pity that we are not destined to be together..."

"Squeak? Squeak!"

The other Zubat suddenly screamed. Looking sideways, the little guy's two purple ears stood up and trembled as if receiving some information.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Qianye, who had wanted to soothe Zubat's restlessness, tensed up instantly when he saw him frantically gesturing with his hands as he relayed the news he had heard.

"What did you say?!"

……

A purple Gouthbat was flying through the cave at high speed. Its body was covered with bruises and scars, and its trembling wings looked like it would crash at any time during flight, but it still gritted its teeth and persisted until it saw the golden arc of electricity.

Zubat tried to adjust its body to avoid the attack, but the injuries on its body did not allow it to do so. The electric current instantly spread throughout its body, and its charred body fell down after a scream.

"Magneton, come back."

The red light took back the Pokémon that had just sent out an electric shock, and a man with a hideous scar on his forehead walked out of the shadows, playing with the Poké Ball in his hand.

"You can really run...huh? Why aren't you running now?"

He kicked the unconscious Golbat, and its body rolled and hit a rock. The brutality in the man's eyes did not dissipate. It seemed that he had to go forward and kick it a few more times to vent his anger. However, a cold voice stopped him:

"Take it easy, Yamada. A corpse won't sell for much."

A man wearing square-framed glasses appeared from behind. He was well-dressed and wore a ring with a golden cross pattern on his left ring finger. However, the cold temperament emanating from him torn off his well-dressed disguise.

"Guang Lang, mind your own business! It's been so long, where's the shadow of the Moon Stone?"

Yamada opened his mouth wide and sneered, revealing two rows of dirty yellow teeth, which made people feel disgusted.

"The detector has already responded. Also... you'd better be cautious. Don't forget that Takino overturned his car here."

"Takino? You mean that idiot who was apparently killed by a little kid? Hahahaha! For a Pokémon hunter to have made it this far is quite a talent. Please don't lump me in with that kind of trash."

He walked over, grabbed Golbat from the ground, and tossed it into a cage on a cart. The iron fence was already almost full of Pokémon, not just Bat Pokémon... but also a few Geodudes and Arbok.

Yamada pressed Golbat's body into the cage and closed it with his hand. "These are worth the trip. But first, let me tell you, when we get to our old client in Viridian City, don't expect to get more money."

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to fight you for it..." Mitsuhiro, a little irritated by Yamada's nagging, rolled his glasses and replied impatiently, "Don't sell them all, remember to leave some for the association."

"Of course." Yamada tugged at his collar, which was stained with sweat. A round seal tied around his neck slipped out from his clothes. It was engraved with the same cross star pattern as the one on the man's ring, as well as a few large characters -

Evolution Society.

……

Qianye lay down behind a rock peak, trying his best to hold his breath, with his ears pressed against the rocks, trying to hear some useful information.
