The Mareeps were lying down on the grass when they suddenly felt a Heat Wave attack. It looked up and saw a fireball rushing towards it.
"Hey!!!"(Help!!!)
Mareep were so frightened that they fled in all directions, their wool exploded.
One of the slow runners almost got scratched on its butt by Torchic, and it was so frightened that it jumped over the fence.
The passing Combees also took off in an emergency and quickly dispersed, avoiding the impact route of Torchic.
"Buzz!" (Who is that, take care of your apprentice! If you continue like this, the pasture will be set on fire by it!)
Staraptor was flying in the air, looking at the chaotic scene below, laughing with gloating:
"Mukemuke~"
(Hahaha, this new guy looks like Hustle! It's much more interesting than I thought!)
Torterra looked at the mess and shook his head helplessly, already foreseeing the picture of Yushu with a black face later.
Shuren was watering the orchard when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
He poked his head out and saw a fireball rushing across the pasture, followed by a group of panicked Mareep.
Shuren wiped his sweat. "Hustle is really there. Being young is good."
Aili rushed out of the wooden house, and when he saw this scene, his face turned green:
"Hustle What the heck! It went through the haystack!"
There is a pile of hay on the east side of the pasture. If it is ignited, the entire pasture may be burned!
Shuren's face changed:
"Stop it!"
A group of people began to chase and intercept Torchic.
Aili was chasing behind with a bucket, Shuren was waving a shovel and flanking them, and Miltank and Mareep were huddled in the corner shivering.
The whole pasture was in a state of chaos.
Yushu had just come out of the kitchen, holding a plate of freshly cooked Pokéblock, when he heard the noise outside.
Let me see what my Pokémon is doing.
Take a look at the results.
Torchic transformed into a fireball and raced wildly in the pasture, as fast as a shooting star.
Aili chased behind with a bucket, Shuren waved a shovel and flanked them, Miltank and Mareep ran around, and the scene was very chaotic.
And the instigator Luxray?
Not only did it not stop, but seeing its apprentice running so fast, how could it admit defeat!
While running, Roar was emitting excitement, just like a racing competition!
Luxray: We can't lose to our apprentice!
Yushu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he only spit out one word:
"6."
Finally, Kirlia took action.
The number of Inner Focuss that had just finished Calm Mind increased dramatically. She stood in front, her eyes glowing with blue light.
She created a Psychic Barrier in front of Torchic.
Torchic bumped into it, bounced back with a bang, and rolled several times on the ground.
It was like a ball that was shot away. It hit the ground Bounce a few times and finally stopped.
Torchic got up dizzy, the flame feather crest on his head was crooked, and mosquito coils were spinning in his eyes:
"Chamo..." (Where am I... who am I... what did I just do...)
As for Luxray.
It was stopped by Miltank.
Miltank used Defense Curl plus Rollout, Stockpile in place to reach the highest level, blocking the only way for Luxray.
That momentum was like a moving wall of flesh.
Luxray was almost scared to tears and braked immediately!
Miltank's Rollout is no joke. If you are run over, you will have to lie in bed for at least three days.
Yushu came over and looked at Torchic and Luxray.
Torchic lowered its head, waiting to be punished. It knew it was in trouble.
Luxray is also ready to be trained.
Then Yushu smiled, "Not bad, Flame Charge used it quite successfully, much better than I expected."
Torchic blinked and raised his head to look at Yushu.
Didn't you scold it? It almost burned down the pasture!
Luxray is also a little surprised.
They were all ready to be trained, but Yushu was actually praising them?
"Don't look at me like that, it's never been the first time for anyone."
Yushu squatted down and took out a Razz Berry from his pocket. "Let's take our time, don't be in a hurry."
Torchic took Razz Berry in his mouth and chewed it.
The cool feeling melted in the mouth, the flames on the body also subsided, and the burning sensation gradually subsided.
It looked up at Yushu, its eyes shining.
This trainer is quite good.
Yushu reached out and touched Torchic's head:
"That's it for today's training. You first remember the feeling of Flame Charge, and we will continue tomorrow. Remember the feeling of exerting force, you will use it a lot in the future."
Ember is of average use, and Flame Charge is of good use. When you evolve and have Fighting-type, your physical fitness will be further enhanced.
Very good, this kid is born to play fast attack.
Ash I think I was so greedy when I saw it.
In the following days, Freewill Ranch ushered in a rare quiet morning.
Everything is so harmonious, so peaceful, and the years are peaceful.
If you ignore the little fireball running wildly on the training ground.
Luxray was lying under the shade of a tree ten meters away, with his eyes half open and half closed. He seemed careless, but in fact he was always alert.
"Chamo."
Torchic took a deep breath, and the flame energy in his body suddenly exploded.
Whoosh! It turned into a golden stream of light, trailing a long flame trail!
Flame Charge, perfect release!
"Chamo!"
Torchic jumped up excitedly.
It did it! What a genius! It knew it was the best fighting chicken in a million!
Luxray stood up slowly, with a cold expression and a strict teacher's tough tone.
"Roar." (It's okay, I barely passed, but don't get too complacent. This is just the first step. There is still a lot to learn later.)
After these few days of getting along, he has figured out the temperament of this little turkey.
This guy is a typical type who will shine brightly if given a little sunshine, and he will reach the sky with just a few words of praise.
Anyway, I just can't give him a good face.
Torchic nodded vigorously, Ember with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Over the past few days, its impression of Luxray has changed a lot.
At first I thought he was an aloof and weird guy, but then I realized he was a strict devil coach, and then I realized he was actually a tsundere.
He said "it's okay", "barely" and "just fine", but every time it made progress, Luxray would secretly prepare an extra serving of Berry for it as a snack.
As long as you know how to appreciate its poisonous aesthetics, you will find that it is actually a treasure.
At the same time, in the study room of the house.
Yushu is sitting in front of the computer. He has just logged into the official website of the Pokémon Breeder Association and inquired about the application process for Intermediate Stage cultivator.
But he found that Beginner Stage and Intermediate Stage are different.
Beginner Stage Cultivator is a unified written test + practical test. Although the pass rate is low, there is a clear standard, and you just need to work hard towards that standard.
Just like the college entrance examination, although the questions are difficult, you know the scope of the test and how to prepare.
But Intermediate Stage breeders are different.
The certification method for Intermediate Stage cultivators is not to participate in a unified assessment, but to publish a certain number of academic papers, pass the defense organized by the Pokémon Breeder Association, and obtain recognition from the association.
In other words, you not only need to be able to do it, but you also need to be able to write it, and you also need to be able to convince a group of experts that you are doing it right.
Moreover, the topic of the paper must be original research results related to Pokémon cultivation. It needs to be supported by experimental data. It cannot be empty talk and must pass the review of experts.
Yushu was dumbfounded on the spot.
I am a rancher, you want me to write a paper?
In my previous life, the thesis papers for my college graduation defense were all rotten to pieces, but the instructor was only too accommodating to give them to me.
He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.
Or... forget it?
Anyway, the Beginner Stage breeder is pretty good and sufficient, and the ranch is running well now, so there's no need to take the Intermediate Stage exam, right?
But as soon as the idea came up, he strangled it to death.
No, we can't just give up.
If you don't even dare to take the Intermediate Stage exam, then there is no need to think about the advanced level.
And he also promised Cynthia that he would continue on this road, so he couldn't give up halfway, right?
Just do what you say.
But... how to write a paper?
Yushu hesitated again and again, took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, and found the pinned contact.
Cynthia.
He stared at the name for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and clicked on the dialog box.
Since the last separation, the two have occasionally contacted each other.
Although Yushu takes the initiative to send messages most of the time, Cynthia will basically reply, and the reply speed is not slow.
Sometimes Yushu even wonders if the champion is really free, otherwise how could he have time to reply to his message instantly.
He considered his words, then typed and sent:
"Are you there? I want to ask you a question."
After the message was sent, a few seconds later, Cynthia's reply popped up:
"What's wrong? Torchic is there another problem?"
(Torchic: If you two keep talking like this, I will learn to do a backflip sooner or later.)
Reply in seconds!
Yushu felt ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and continued typing:
"Torchic is pretty good. Flame Charge is already practiced, but I encountered a new problem."
Cynthia:"Yeah, tell me."
Yushu: "I was researching the application requirements for Intermediate Stage cultivators recently and found that I need to publish a paper, but I have never been exposed to this before and I don't know how to start. I would like to ask if you have any suggestions?"
After the message was sent, there was silence for a few seconds.
Then Cynthia's reply popped up:
"Well, I have experienced this before. The requirements for Intermediate Stage cultivators' thesis are indeed relatively high, but it is not completely impossible. The key is to find a suitable research direction."
Yushu quickly asked:
"Then how did you spend your time?"
Cynthia: "The paper I published at that time was about the study of Sinnoh Region ancient Pokémon fossils, which combined the interdisciplinary fields of archeology."
"However, this direction may not be suitable for you. After all, fossil research requires a lot of field visits and laboratories Analytic, the cycle is very long, and the equipment requirements are also very high."
Yushu After reading it, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Archeology? Pokémon Fossils?
As expected of you, Miss Cynthia, this kind of direction is rare even among researchers.
