"Wow!!!"

Vulpix struggled hard in Xingye's arms, and finally burst into tears, instinctively resisting being fed.

Its amber-like eyes, which gradually changed from blue to white, were shining brightly. It looked at Lillie, who was sitting opposite with his head lowered, and kept waving his little feet in an attempt to pass by.

"It's so frustrating..."

Xingye took the warm Moomoo Milk and didn't know how to feed it. It was fine at first, but the little one suddenly hatched and it became like this.

Cyclizar lay on the side curiously, then stretched out his paw and poked it gently, but suddenly a chill hit it and hit it. The effect was outstanding. Gengar laughed when he saw it, but he was also confused in the face.

"It's Freeze-Dry. He inherited a good move." Xingye dodged Vulpix's instinctive attack, then looked up at Lillie and asked, "So have you thought clearly?"

"Sorry... I really..."

"If you don't take it in, then no one will be able to take care of this Vulpix. Jenny asked me to take care of the egg temporarily. It needs to be returned before making a decision. But it won't be kissed by anyone except you now. It's too dangerous for a newborn baby."

"I..."

"It won't even eat right now. If it continues like this, it may die in a few hours."

"..."

Listening to Xingye's devilish whisper, Lillie raised his head somewhat unbearably and met Vulpix's eyes, which was the same situation just now.

Newborn Pokémon will usually instinctively get close to the first person or Pokémon they see, and some even treat the other person as a relative. This is the case with Vulpix now.

Lillie naturally knew this very well, but she was still hesitant. Under Xingye's obviously deliberate "force", she finally told the reason.

"Actually... when I first enrolled as a trainer three years ago, I also had a Starter Pokémon. It was a very cute Shiny Clefairy."

"Huh? What then?"

"And... because of these problems of mine, I didn't know how to get along with it at all, and the relationship was extremely bad. In the end, I had no choice but to let it go and let it go happily. It is precisely because of these things that the classmates in the class took special care of me..."

Hearing Lillie's deep explanation, Xingye suddenly understood why the other party was so excited when they were at the door before. It was this reason.

Maybe a few years ago, the other party had a chance to overcome their fear, but the result was that not only did they not succeed, but their fear of Pokémon doubled.

"Then I understand."

"Huh?"

Lillie was slightly startled when he heard the sound, and saw Xingye suddenly walking over with Vulpix in his arms, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Let's start with this Vulpix, and try to get close to Pokémon."

"Jenny, I will tell her. Since it is Alolan Vulpix, there is no need to worry about any problems, and I can find a trainer who can be entrusted to her. She will probably be very happy."

"Woo~"

Seeing Vulpix swinging its little feet, trying to jump on him, Lillie pursed his lips lightly, and then asked, "Can I really..."

Xingye responded with a smile, "Don't forget what we Odd Jobs do, to help these troubled Pokémons. This Vulpix needs your company now. Isn't this a commission?"

Hearing this, Lillie closed his eyes to calm down, then nodded with firm eyes and responded, "I understand!"

"Then leave it to you."

Xingye handed over Vulpix and Moomoo Milk, Lillie took the milk, and Vulpix was placed on her lap, pressing down on her skirt.

As long as there was no skin contact, Endure could accept it for a while. Then she picked up the milk and tried to feed Vulpix. She knew how to feed it, but she had no experience and was clumsy.

Just after seeing Vulpix really start to drink, a touch of joy appeared on her face, as if a wonderful feeling came to her heart, but she didn't know how to describe it.

Xingye didn't bother, and took Gengar outside. The time while waiting for the rice to be cooked can be used to try out the new talent.

"It's done, let's try it."

"Gengar?"

Gengar held his head, feeling as if he suddenly learned some moves, which was very strange.

"It's Spirit Shackle. Do you still remember how to use spiritual power? Try to feel it."

"Gengar!"

Gengar nodded. It was also very curious about this power. Then its eyes glowed red, and it clasped its hands together and opened them to both sides.

At this moment, the spiritual power that cannot be seen with the naked eye actually condensed into a short bow that seemed to be composed of dark Infinity Energy. The entire bow surface also had its own special light, which was very cool!

"Gengar?"

"Don't be surprised. Pull the bowstring first and see."

"Gengar!"

Gengar looked surprised and curious, and then followed Xingye's instructions, grabbing the bow body with one hand and pulling the bowstring with the other hand.

And the moment the string was pulled, the spiritual power that had not dispersed around it automatically turned into an arrow with the same special effect in the middle!

"Good guy, he's a bit handsome... Just wait a minute, I'll call Cyclizar over to test the waters."

Xingye quickly returned to the house. Cyclizar is not afraid of Spirit Shackle, and his hard skills are enough. It is very good to be a sparring partner for Gengar.

In a moment, Cyclizar was already standing on the street downstairs. There are no other Pokémon here now, so the possibility of accidental injury is extremely low.

Gengar was floating in the air. He aimed his bow and arrow at Cyclizar below and released his hand. However, he failed to control his strength and the arrows shot into the air.

Xingye subconsciously looked up, and then an arrow quickly slid down from above, and finally stuck in his head, causing him to fall to the ground on the spot.

"Gengar!!!"

I don't know how long he was gone, but Xingye came back with a cross on his head with a band-aid, and he came back with full health and continued to teach Gengar archery.

This bow and arrow are indeed classified into props as guessed, and have the effect of another talent.

However, Gengar doesn't know how to play, which is a flaw, but Pokémon will usually master it quickly when learning this kind of thing.

"It doesn't matter if you make one mistake. Keep trying. Aim at Cyclizar and shoot the arrow."

"Gengar!"

Gengar nodded and continued to operate. All arrows were made of its spiritual power, which was equivalent to using physical strength.

It recalled the fighting posture of Decidueye it had seen before, and then pulled the bowstring in rapid succession, firing thousands of arrows in an instant, and finally all of them were shot in the middle of the road, while Cyclizar did not move even half a step.

"Cyclizar?"

"Gengar?"

"The aiming point is not for you to use all your firepower. Since you are practicing archery, shoot the fixed target first, then the moving target, and the cycle will gradually increase!"

"Gengar..."

Gengar was holding a bow and arrow, floating in the air. His expression was a little aggrieved, but he cheered up in an instant. The new power had already been exerted... It was almost familiar, and it was time to get serious!

It once again put on an archery stance, looking Lock-On downwards Cyclizar, Xingye nodded. It watched it settle for a long time, and just when it was about to shoot, the door of the izakaya downstairs suddenly opened!

The sudden movement disrupted Gengar's thoughts. It suddenly panicked, slipped again, and shot the arrow directly downwards.

Slowking walked out as usual, looked at Cyclizar who was alone in the street, and asked doubtfully, "What the hell are you doing again? I heard noises inside, please don't do anything nonsense..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of breaking through the air sounded from above, and a Black Arrow shot straight down, with an extraordinary effect...

In Odd Jobs's living room, Vulpix has eaten enough and is curling up in a circle, resting on Lillie's lap, looking like a snow-white Venonat, very cute.

Looking at this ball of Venonat, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the fluffy curly hair on the other person's head, but every time she stretched out her hand, she immediately took it back.

After a long psychological struggle, she patted her face and said with a serious expression, "Cheer up, come on, Lillie you can do it, Pokémon is not scary, they are all very well-behaved and kind-hearted creatures, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

After some Work Up, she finally made a decision and took the initiative to stroke Vulpix's head, but suddenly there was a loud bang, breaking the calm.

She was startled, and before she could react, she saw Xingye with his back against the door, flying backwards along the corridor to the living room, and Ceruledge followed closely behind, pressing him directly against the wall with his sword.

Then, Slowking, who had a band-aid on his tail, also walked in. He put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Sneak attacks are not like yours. Frontal unparalleled attack is the best sneak attack technique. I will let Ceruledge demonstrate it to you now."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lillie just stretched out his hand and stopped it in mid-air, then immediately retracted it, covering his eyes, not to see what happened next.

"Pokémon is so scary..."
