"So Gardenia is interested in your Cacnea, and you are afraid of delaying it, so you also want to give Cacnea to Gardenia, but you are reluctant to part with it?"
After listening to James's talk, Xiaoyun finally remembered that this was indeed the case. James finally gave away the little cactus.
"That's it. Miss Gardenia can easily let Cacnea use moves like Drain Punch to unleash powerful combat power, but when it comes to my hands, no matter how hard I try, I can't successfully use it."
James sighed, not caring about the spikes on Cacnea's body, looking at it with reluctance. "Perhaps, this child should have a better path. Only gym trainers like Miss Gardenia can better utilize this child's potential."
"Well..., if I taught your Cacnea to learn Drain Punch, would you still be willing to give it away?"
Seeing James's love for Pokémon, Xiaoyun thought for a while and said.
"You... you want to teach me? But... but why?"
James was filled with excitement when he heard this. He knew that with Xiaoyun's teaching ability, Cacnea would definitely be able to learn Drain Punch.
"Well..., just think of it as my whim, but if I ask you to make a request, will you agree?"
Xiaoyun looked at the excited James and planned to give him a test.
"You said?"
"Your favorite thing to collect is bottle caps, I want all your rare bottles..."
As a result, before Xiaoyun could finish speaking, James had already started looking through all the bottle caps on his body.
Wow!!
"I'll give them all to you. These are all the bottle caps I have secretly saved over the past few years. As long as you are willing to teach Cacnea how to Drain Punch, I will give them all to you."
James placed all the bottle caps in front of Xiaoyun, as if he didn't like these things at all.
"Haha, no need, just take it back."
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment and then smiled happily, saying that this was "Attract's cute villain" in his impression.
"Yes... isn't it enough? It doesn't matter. I still have some left at Meowth. I'll go get them now."
After hearing this, James thought that there was not enough stuff, and looked anxious as he prepared to go back to get the bottle caps.
"I said no, just leave Cacnea to me." Xiaoyun waved his hand again to express his willingness to teach.
Then the three came to an open space, and Xiaoyun released Sceptile.
"Come out Sceptile."
"Just right."
"Sceptile, please guide this little guy to use Drain Punch later."
Xiaoyun told Sceptile in front of him and after the latter agreed, Xiaoyun began to explain the principles of Drain Punch.
"Drain Punch, although this move is the skill of Fighting-type, I think it is similar to Absorb of Grass-type. Both of them plunder the enemy's physical strength by contacting their body.
"But the difference is that Drain Punch also has powerful attack power, so while practicing, we must also pay attention to the concentration of energy on the arms."
After roughly explaining the principle of Drain Punch, Xiaoyun turned around and pointed at Cacnea.
"And your Cacnea is essentially a cactus Pokémon, so it will have natural advantages if it learns skills such as Drain Punch, Mega Drain."
"Si Guoyi."
James Although he didn't understand it, he was greatly shocked. Anyway, he felt so powerful.
"Cacnea, use all your strength to attack Sceptile."
"Sand Nana." Cacnea waved his arms with all his strength and hit Sceptile's hand, and Sceptile also deliberately adjusted its Force Palm strength.
"Very good, add the power of Absorb to this strength."
"Not strong enough, do it again!"
"Shanai."
"Continue, the energy was not gathered in place just now."
"Nai."
"No, keep coming when your strength is gone."
"Sha Nana."
"Um, is the brat training Pokémon so strict?"
James watched Cacnea swinging his fists again and again under the guidance of Xiaoyun. Although he could not use Drain Punch yet, he had made great improvements.
"Yes, Xiaoyun has always been more serious about Pokémon training."
Dawn recalled that when Piplup was being trained, Xiaoyun was also very strict at that time.
After N times of training, Cacnea finally used Drain Punch under the deliberate guidance of Xiaoyun and Sceptile.
"Sha Nana!"
Cacnea waved his arm again, and a spiral wave erupted from his arm. This time Sceptile did not catch it intentionally, and let his fist point at the stone behind him.
Bang!!
Cacnea punched it and the rock shattered. Drain Punch has been successfully practiced.
"Great, Cacnea, I don't have to give you to anyone else anymore, we can continue to be together."
"Sha Nana."
James ignored the spikes on Cacnea's body and hugged Cacnea excitedly.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Dawn asked Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, I think I know why you took the initiative to teach him."
"You know?" Xiaoyun was shocked and wondered how you knew, I didn't tell you either!
"Well, although this person is really hateful sometimes, I feel a strong love for Pokémon from him. I guess many people can't do this."
Dawn told what she understood, and her eyes became softer and softer when she looked at Xiaoyun. Looking at the boy in front of her, she couldn't help but think, Xiaoyun is really kind at heart.
"Well, almost."
Xiaoyun actually didn't think too much, he just wanted to give James one more choice. After all, James is really good for Pokémon.
Of course, if James still hands over Cacnea to Gardenia in the end, he will not object. After all, this is their own choice.
Then when a few people went back, they met Gardenia who came to see James. After a conversation between the two, the volume of Gardenia gradually became louder:
"Ah, you changed your mind. If you don't believe me, I really won't treat Cacnea badly. I will definitely take good care of it."
"Thank you very much, Miss Gardenia, but I still want to train Cacnea by myself, I'm sorry." James bowed to Gardenia and thanked her before leaving.
Woo woo woo...
In the end, Gardenia could only bite her sleeve with tears in her eyes and watch the scene of James taking Cacnea away, as if it was her Pokémon that was taken away.
At this time, Xiaoyun said quietly next to Gardenia: "Miss Gardenia, in fact, you are just greedy for Cacnea's body."
"I didn't..." Gardenia immediately began to retort after hearing this. What kind of words are you talking about? Can you say this about the trainer? She is just for the better development of this child.
"You have."
"I didn't."
"You didn't."
"I have... ahem, you bastard, you slandered me!"
Gardenia, who almost spoke his mind, realized that he had been tricked and turned to question Xiaoyun.
"I didn't, you admitted this yourself." Xiaoyun turned his head to the side guiltily, he just used the charm of some words.
