Chapter 496 I am also a fan
...
Flint is a typical emotional Trainer.
What is an "emotional" Trainer?
In short in simple sentences, it is a Trainer who has played "out with a roar" to some extent.
Don't take "out with a roar" as a derogatory term, on the contrary, in Alliance Trainers, it's an advantage.
Push the Pokémon's emotions with the trainer's emotions, thereby "infecting" each other and causing resonance, allowing Pokémon to push their own limits.
The most common is to pass the value to fight, and Attribute fight is reversed.
Usually for this situation, our colloquial terms refer to "burning the little universe".
And this kind of emotional Trainer, the most suitable Pokémon, is undoubtedly a Fire-Type Pokémon which also requires a high level of will and fighting spirit.
Therefore, Flint will be able to become the Elite Four of the Sinnoh Region in the future. Even if Shirona wasn't too buggy, Flint had every chance of becoming the champion.
In Natsu's cognition, if you want to ask who will be the next champion after Shirona's retirement in the future, Natsu's answer is Flint.
As far as he knew, the future Flint had once challenged Shirona, his Infernape took two of Shirona's Pokemon in a row, and finally lost to Shirona's Garchomp.
But how many people in the Pokémon world can battle two Shirona Pokémon with just one Pokémon?
This is clear.
Therefore, Flint is definitely one of the best when it comes to being more capable and experienced at training Pokemon from the Chimchar line.
But that's it.
Flint's character is like fire, too hot and familiar.
"Natsu, how did you meet Shirona?"
"This is the first time Shirona has come to me to ask others for help."
"By the way, your personality is a bit similar to my friend you know?"
"."
Natsu looked to Shirona for help.
Shirona covered her mouth and chuckled, raising her eyebrows in a sign of cunning.
Impossible.
Natsu looked at Volkner, who was also pulled by Flint and couldn't leave.
At this moment, the two people who were opponents a few minutes ago were appreciating each other.
Natsu: Brother, how did you come here all this time?
Volkner: Stun him and he'll be fine.
Natsu: ? ? ?
Good things.
It didn't take long for Daisy's battle with the others to end.
The winner is undoubtedly Daisy with Chansey's "Bug".
The top two winners from the winning group are officially determined.
Top seed Daisy, second seed Natsu, and two more spots in the losing group will be decided.
So even though Flint wanted to chat with Natsu again, considering it was an important battle for his friend, he accompanied him to prepare for the battle.
Natsu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shirona, did you finish so quickly?" Daisy came out of the battlefield and saw Natsu pressing his temples and Shirona smiling, her eyes shining.
"Well, I don't dare to be too sure now, didn't expect Daisy, you really came." Shirona said with a smile.
Obviously, Shirona, who was Assistant Professor Rowan, still knew Daisy, Professor Oak's granddaughter.
And seeing Daisy skillfully grabbing Shirona's arm, the two of them were quite familiar.
"It's very boring at home. I read papers or research papers all day. The walk is just in time for this tournament." Daisy explained.
Then her eyes fell on Natsu, "Natsu, you know Shirona?"
Natsu silently nodded.
"Your place finished so quickly?" Natsu asked Daisy's question again.
It made sense that even if the top four groups were determined, for the next knockout competition arrangement, each group would still decide one, two, three or four, and first place in each group. You will not meet the first place of the other groups in the first place of the knock-out competition.
"Well, the ranking battle is in the afternoon and it's getting late," Shirona explained.
Rank battle.
Natsu thought that he was qualified, so it was unlikely that he would be participating in this ranking battle.
After all, there is Daisy in her group, and there is a strong Volkner, and he is not easy to win.
Rather than revealing more, it's better to have a good rest while the other person struggles and crams to make up for his own problems.
Thinking of this, Natsu had a decision in his heart.
Rank Battle.
Do not participate.
"Where are the others?"
Shirona shook her head "I don't know, I happened to meet Flint, thinking about what you asked Chimchar last time, Flint's Infernape is very powerful, I think you should be able to learn something from him, happened to be in the same place as you, so we came together."
Whether Flint's Infernape was strong enough to take two Pokémon from Shirona, and talking about it for himself his Infernape was definitely the champion at the time.
"Flint's approach didn't work for me," said Natsu.
"En."
Shirona saw it when Flint and Natsu had just made contact.
The personalities of the two are different, and the philosophies and methods of training Pokémon should also be different.
However, with more contact, Natsu can still learn some basic things.
"Go see someone else."
"I join!" Daisy said, hugging Shirona's hand tightly.
"Let's go together."
Then the three went to the other group's place.
By observation, except for Claire who was a little Struggled but should be fine, the likes of Lance, Steven and Lorelei were basically fine.
What, Roxanne?
She had long since given up and was already on the sidelines of Steven.
After all, Roxanne was much younger than them and hadn't graduated yet, so she had time to grow up.
During that period, Natsu walked alone in front, while Shirona and Daisy were busy chatting.
"Shirona, have you read the latest paper on the forum?" Casey asked.
As Professor Oak's granddaughter, even if Daisy's ambitions weren't in Pokemon research, she would still pay attention to some information in this regard.
Coincidentally, Shirona is Professor Mustard's granddaughter, who is both the Professor's granddaughter, and their hobbies have a lot in common.
So Daisy and Shirona not only know each other, they are good friends.
"Look." Shirona glanced vaguely at Natsu's back.
"Yeah, you have Eevee too. You should pay close attention to the papers in this area. Has your Eevee evolved?" Daisy asked again.
"Well, Glaceon."
hearing this, Daisy's eyes lit up, "Glaceon? I've never seen it, can you show it later? I can try massaging it."
Oh yes, Daisy is a Breeder.
"Okay." Shirona couldn't deny it.
"But that person is truly extraordinary. Eevee originally only had three evolutions, but he announced four at a time. My grandfather said that this person was very interesting and extraordinary." Daisy's beautiful face, full of admiration.
Of course, this is not the only reason to be amazed.
But someone who can praise Professor Oak points out that it is very difficult to deal with.
Shirona answered in a low voice, and once again glanced at Natsu who was walking in front, his movements slightly stiff.
"My little brother Gary is a huge fan now, and at first, Gary, the kid, let me watch it."
Shirona smiled, "I'm a fan too."
"Is it right?" Daisy felt a little surprised, but also felt normal "Me too, but I became his fan not because of these two papers on Eevee, but because I benefited greatly from the 'intimacy' paper he and Mr. Sakuragi researched together."
Daisy has a certain ability to sense the intimacy of Pokemon and Trainers, she initially thought it was her imagination, but Natsu and Sakuragi's "intimacy" paper made her fully aware of her abilities.
"Yeah, it's still early."
This was the third time Shirona had looked at Natsu. At this moment, his movements looked stiff to the naked eye.
"Is it still early?" Daisy asked suspiciously.
This is what she didn't expect.
After all, Natsu is really starting to make his mark in the world of Pokémon research due to the "Intimacy" project with Sakuragi.
"En." The smile on Shirona's face became brighter, and she asked Natsu in front: "Natsu, how about you?"
Question: There are two people behind you. A female fan, one knows your identity and pretends not to, and the other knows nothing. Now you are being asked about yourself. How are you going to have to answer it?
