Chapter 407 Please, Doraemon!
After the little incident during the day, Qingyu had a good rest for the afternoon, and when she woke up again, the sun was already setting.
Of course, he would actually prefer to sleep a little longer.
However, the commotion outside was so great that he had to return to reality after trying to clear his mind and enjoy a good night's sleep.
After leaving the room, Sylveon was sitting on the sofa, watching a prime-time drama from the Kalos region before dinner, as usual.
The aroma of hot pot wafted from the other side of the half-open kitchen door, suggesting that Ai Guanshi's younger sister had already started preparing dinner before him.
As for Lucario—it was leaning against the wall outside the kitchen, watching him warily.
I have a feeling that this guy's eyes are very subtle, and if I understand what they mean, I might suffer a great psychological shock.
Qingyu instinctively looked away and refused to think.
After leaving the Sunshine Gym, the culprit that woke him up immediately came to light.
"Crack!!!"
The revitalized Salamence is flapping its wings and circling endlessly above the Sunny Gym, occasionally letting out a loud roar.
Perhaps it's a lingering effect from its previous inability to move freely during its Ankylosaurus days, or perhaps its yearning for free flight has finally become a reality; the current Salamence is completely immersed in its own world, oblivious to the world around it.
Occasionally, an angry parrot or a little finch might appear nearby, but the noise it makes would immediately terrify it, causing it to fly out of Qingyu's sight.
Although it's a bit noisy, the fact that it can cause such a disturbance probably shows that the Salamence is very energetic right now.
However, it was so tired this morning that it fell asleep in the air, but now it has completely recovered, which reflects its excellent physical condition.
Anyway, there aren't many households in Little Key Town, so let it wander around for a while before dinner.
Qingyu turned her gaze back to Millerton, who seemed no different from usual.
It was certainly cool to suddenly unleash its power and awaken all its strength, but after realizing that it was alright, it quickly turned back into its current lying-down salted fish form.
Does that mean being a slacker is its true nature?
"Kah?"
Noticing Qingyu's gaze, Millerton, who was closing his eyes to smell the delicious aroma emanating from the room and had a smile on his face, suddenly looked up.
As if to say:
Is dinner ready?
Honestly, even though she regained her powers, her personality hasn't changed at all.
But this is fine too.
Qingyu smiled and patted Milton on the head.
"Let's wait a little longer, the steward will call us when it's time."
As one of only two idlers/dragons in the gym, Qingyu simply plopped down next to Milton.
Perfect timing, I can chat with Milton again before dinner.
"Actually, from the very first time I saw you, I had a vague feeling that you would probably be a very powerful Pokémon."
As she spoke, Qingyu suddenly recalled the scene from the morning's revolving lantern.
At the beginning, he was just a rookie gym leader with only Eevee and Riolu. When he encountered it and Godfather being attacked by Houndoom, he witnessed it using the Electric move to wipe out a group of enemies.
Of course, what might be more important are the memories related to past lives.
That's why he's always found it hard to associate Milton, who's the most enthusiastic eater but useless at everything else, with titles like "Legendary Pokémon," "Guardian Dragon of Paradise," and "Iron Serpent."
However, after seeing Milerton in action today, I was truly impressed by its coolness.
"Gah?"
Millerton looked up at Qingyu impatiently, as if he hadn't understood what he was saying at all.
However, at this moment, it actually felt a little guilty, as if it had acted too hastily today.
It seems that besides myself, there were several other guys in the Sunny Gym who could have saved the day, right?
For example, Mewtwo, who can use psychic powers, has psychic abilities that are as strong as a monster. It feels like if it used its full power, it could even lift up the entire Sunny Gym.
Or perhaps it's Marshadow, who's lurking in the shadows and seems to have taken Qingyu as his older brother, who might also have a move that teleports people and Pokémon to another dimension.
But they all chose to stand by and do nothing at that time.
Therefore, there is only one answer.
This is a trap!
It's a trap to trick yourself into making a move!
Although he had not had much contact with humans, Millerton was still aware of some basic common sense.
The better a Pokémon performs, the more "trust" it gains from its trainer, leading to increasingly difficult opponents and a vicious cycle.
In other words, the greater the ability, the greater the pressure.
Conversely, as long as he continues to act the same way as before, and even Qingyu has no hope for him, he won't have to bear any pressure.
Once you recognize that you are a scoundrel, you are invincible!
Unfortunately, the wonderful life we once had has been completely shattered today.
If Qingyu discovers that I am actually a hidden master, will I be forced to do chores by Qingyu more often in the future?
No, I don't want that kind of thing!
Just using the power grid this morning felt like I'd already used up my electricity for the next 20 years. I need to let it sit idle for a while to recover!
Thinking of this, Milton quickly seemed to turn into liquid and collapsed onto the fluffy cat cushion.
Qingyu, unaware of what had happened, raised an eyebrow, looking on with a puzzled yet impressive expression.
Despite its metallic body, its head felt weightless when resting on its thigh.
Sure enough, Milton is much more sensible. If it were a reckless Salamence, my legs would have gone numb very quickly.
Thinking of this, Qingyu suddenly felt that the current Salty Fish Dragon looked more pleasing to the eye than its previous handsome appearance.
He then squinted, smiled, and reached out to pat Millerton's back.
For Pokémon covered in fur, this behavior is one of the best ways to express affection. Even the slightly arrogant Sylveon gets lost in its own superb cat-petting skills and can't extricate itself.
However, it seems to be quite effective for Milton, whose body is made of steel.
Soon, Millerton narrowed his eyes under Qingyu's skillful touch, subconsciously revealing an expression of enjoyment.
"Mmm~"
A few minutes later, the ethereal voice of the attendant sister came from the gym, causing Milerton to open his eyes abruptly. He immediately jumped out of his little house and ran wildly into the Sunshine Gym without looking back.
By the time Qingyu realized what was happening, Milton was nowhere to be seen.
He could only smile helplessly at this.
Even after "password recovery", nothing really changes.
However, it's fine as it is.
Compared to the aloof and powerful Iron Serpent, the timid but voracious Milton is a better fit for the Sunny Gym.
Qingyu stood up and waved towards the sky.
"Hey, Salamence, time to eat!"
"Click!"
Awesome!
The Salamence, which had been soaring freely through the sky, suddenly swooped down and crashed to the ground. Just before it hit the ground, it braked and landed steadily with its feet pushing off the ground. Then, it looked at Qingyu with a proud expression.
Look, look! Perfect aerial acrobatics!
However, contrary to the expected praise from Qingyu, what awaited it was an "angry version" of Qingyu, whose mouth twitched wildly and a wisp of black smoke was faintly rising from the top of his head.
"Huh?!"
The Salamence was startled and instinctively turned around to look behind it.
Two clear black tracks appeared on the ground where he had just slid, turning up all the soil and grass in his wake, and the splashed dirt made the surrounding area a mess.
broken!
The Salamence immediately realized that something was terribly wrong.
As everyone knows, Qingyu hates Pokémon that damage the field the most. In the past, many students who came to challenge the gym have been punished for this.
Just now, I was so carried away with my pride that I seemed to have done the same thing!
Somewhat guilty, the Salamence immediately lowered its head, and its tail, which had been pounding the ground like a drumstick, stopped thrashing.
"—Let's call it a day."
Seeing that the Flying Dragon realized its mistake, Qingyu could only wave his hand helplessly.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Salamence has only just evolved, so it's only natural for a dragon to be excited. Besides, it might not have even gotten used to the change yet.
However, just as Qingyu was about to enter the Sunny Gym, she suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the open door.
At that moment, he suddenly realized something else.
"The Salamence is too big; it seems like it can't fit inside."
Qingyu turned around, his eyes darting back and forth between the bewildered Salamence and the door frame, finally concluding that he couldn't get in, there was no way he could get in!
Salamence's standard height in the Pokédex is 1.5 meters, but this data seems to be its torso height when standing, and most likely does not take into account its exaggeratedly large wings.
If you were to force it to fold its wings and squeeze in, it would be possible, but without wings as a means of balance, Salamence would probably stagger around and might even destroy the entire gym.
(To be honest, is this really 1.5 meters?)
Qingyu fell into deep thought.
"Huh?!"
Although it was a beat slow to react, Salamence quickly discovered the truth from Qingyu's body language and was instantly stunned as if struck by lightning.
No, no way!
If you can't even get enough to eat before you evolve, and you can't make up for it after you evolve, then you've evolved for nothing.
Moreover, before evolving, at least I could watch everyone eat, but now I can't even get into the Sunny City Gym—the thought of ending up like that Milton, forced to sleep outside the Sunny City Gym...
No, I seem to be in a worse situation than it. At least it has its own little home!
Unbeknownst to him, he discovered the darkness of reality, and tears began to well up in Salamence's eyes.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to be a baby dragon for life!
"I won't let you suffer. Let me think of a solution first."
Qingyu could only offer words of comfort while lowering her head in deep thought.
It would indeed be too pitiful to leave Salamence to eat alone outside.
The Sunny Gym's table is missing only one Pokémon. Guess who didn't receive an invitation?
The problem of food is easy to solve. At worst, we can just put the dining table outside so that we can eat with the Flying Dragon in the future.
But besides that, there are other, more pressing issues.
For example, where should a Salamence sleep?
We can't really act like Miltons, standing guard on either side of the Sunny Gym, can we?
Thinking about it this way, with the number of Pokémon in the gym gradually increasing, it feels like it's time to put the plan to expand the Sunny Gym on the agenda.
As for today, let's just make do for now.
Qingyu quickly made a decision, so he walked into the Sunny Gym and immediately locked his gaze on Mewtwo, who was looking at him.
Target spotted!
"Please, Doraemon—Mewtwo!"
"Use your invincible superpowers to shrink the Salamence's body by half!"
Although Mewtwo can't do it himself, he's already used his superpowers as casually as drinking water, so he must have a solution.
Qingyu had unwavering faith in Mewtwo's abilities.
?
When faced with Qingyu suddenly clasping his hands together, bowing his head, and earnestly pleading with him, Mewtwo subconsciously tilted his head and made a question mark.
I always feel uncomfortable with how he addresses me, but I don't know why.
However, it was Qingyu's request after all, and it wasn't really a difficult thing for her.
"I see."
Mewtwo nodded and immediately walked towards the door.
With a casual wave of its hand, its eyes immediately glowed blue, and the powerful superpower hidden within its body swept across the surroundings, quickly locking onto the curious Salamence.
"Crack?"
Under the bewildered gaze of the Salamence, the world before its eyes suddenly began to expand continuously.
Even Mewtwo, who was originally a little shorter than him, gradually grew taller.
Soon, a Salamence, its body shrunk to almost half its original size and even approaching the size of a Shellder Dragon, appeared outside the door.
Qingyu, who was watching intently from the sidelines, couldn't help but give Mewtwo a thumbs up.
Indeed, in the real Pokémon world, psychic abilities are definitely the attribute and ability with the highest potential.
Just like the name Qingyu subconsciously used, there are only ways to use it that he hasn't thought of, and perhaps there is nothing that Mewtwo can't do.
In a sense, calling it "Doraemon" is indeed not wrong.
However, Mewtwo doesn't seem to like this nickname.
"alright."
Upon seeing its "masterpiece," Mewtwo nodded in satisfaction, then quickly reverted to its arrogant demeanor.
"It's just using superpowers to unleash its potential to avoid danger; it's not a difficult thing."
"However, this method cannot change its weight, so be careful—"
Before Mewtwo could finish speaking, Salamence, looking excited, leaped forward, easily crossed the gate of the Sunny Gym, and landed lightly on the floor.
Then————
With a "crack," a gap was immediately created in the floor near the door, and the Salamence fell to the ground, letting out a wail.
If you had to describe Qingyu's feelings at this moment in one word, it would be numbness!
However, since the decision has already been made to expand the Sunshine Dojo, it is indeed necessary to reinforce the original building as well.
Especially for that overly active Salamence—
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
