...
"Mmm"
Daisy seemed to sense When someone approached, she slowly raised her head and opened her hazy eyes.
When she saw a silhouette, she shivered and was shocked.
Natsu's bent waist and outstretched hand froze on the spot.
Luckily, Daisy didn't scream out loud, and when she saw Natsu's appearance, she relaxed for a long time.
"Natsu?"
"Uh huh."
"How did you get in? Didn't I lock the door?" Daisy was a little confused.
This question is even more embarrassing.
Natsu touched his nose, not knowing what to say.
The only thing he could do was get off topic, "They said you abstained?"
Hearing this, Daisy nodded weakly, and answered in a low mosquito voice.
"en."
Natsu sighed silently, sat on the ground next to Daisy, and took Togetic into his arms.
He didn't ask why, because it didn't make sense.
After a long silence, Daisy suddenly asked: "Natsu, what is your goal?"
"Goal?"
"en." Daisy Nodding her head, looking at the beautiful sunset outside the window, she muttered to herself, "I don't know where I'm going."
"I thought I would do some Pokemon research, but after reading a lot of papers, I found that I really liked the result, not the process. Later, I thought that I might be better suited as a Trainer, so I invited Pokémon to participate in this tournament.
But just now, I suddenly realized that the Trainer profession was not what I wanted, so I was a little confused."
What is his own goal?
Natsu lightly touched Togetic's head, also looked at the setting sun, and smiled slowly.
"I don't even know what my goal is. I only know that in the beginning I just wanted to live a life of food and clothing, becoming a not-so-strong Trainer who could protect myself and protect my Pokémon.
Then I slowly discovered that I actually preferred the days when I hung out with Pokemon, the days when I got stronger, worked hard, laughed together, and lost together.
I want to take them around the world and make memories that I won't regret when I grow old.
Maybe, I just like Pokemon."
This was something Natsu had never said to anyone, but it was his true expression from the heart.
Goal?
Take it step by step.
For someone like him who climbed up from the bottom, the goal was too far, the big one looked too high, and the small one looked dispirited.
The most important thing is to live in the moment.
Of course, who doesn't have a million little ambitions?
Daisy stared blankly at Natsu who was slowly talking. She felt that Natsu should be the one with many stories.
Togetic in Natsu's arms, Similar to Daisy, Her little eyes blinked at Natsu.
This was also the first time Togetic had heard Natsu say these words, and it was naturally much deeper than Daisy's.
"Chucky," Togetic whispered.
A little confused.
Natsu's goal, Daisy's goal, what's her goal?
Sleep rest until you wake up naturally every day?
every day all Have an endless supply of ice cream?
Play and Prank daily with other Pokémon?
Not.
Togetic subconsciously shook her head.
Those days were comfortable and convenient, but not what one really wanted.
What she Wants
She looked up again and saw from her arm to the tip of Natsu's sturdy chin, familiar enough to make it a habit, a part of life.
Togetic's eyes grew tighter.
The target.
It's Natsu.
Like Natsu said, he probably just likes Pokémon.
Actually she
like Natsu.
After realizing this, Togetic rested her head lightly on Natsu's chest.
As a happy Pokémon, it feels very happy right now.
Enough.
Suddenly, Togetic's body lit up with a faint halo, and her body temperature gradually rose.
And Togetic's oddity, Natsu immediately noticed.
His skin changed a little.
After saying something to Daisy, she got up and left quickly.
"How do you know what you really like if you don't try it? So don't hesitate, use your own heart to feel what you want."
Watching the back of Natsu's departure, Daisy mumbled: "I've never felt such a high level of compatibility between a Pokémon and a Trainer, and a happiness so intense that the naked eye can see it now?"
Natsu ran out of the room and headed straight for the villa door, not paying attention to Lance and the others who came out of the corner after he left.
"What's wrong with Natsu?" Lance couldn't help but ask.
Everyone looked blank.
"Chaa"
Only Togepi in Shirona's arms was surprised.
Also a happy Pokémon, it can clearly feel the changes in Togetic.
It assaulted the sense of happiness, almost his entire body was shaking happily.
Shirona looked at Togepi in her arms, and then at Natsu who was running out of the villa, her almond eyes flashing, as if she realized something.
The other side.
Natsu who hastily ran out of the villa, plunged into the forest outside the villa area, it was quiet here.
Nor did he expect such an unexpected change in Togetic.
In fact.
From the last time Togetic played against Luxray, Natsu found some Togetic's shortcomings and tried to find a way to cover Togetic's shortcomings.
But determination was an illusion, it couldn't be made overnight, so he couldn't rush it.
Just trying to find a corner and trying to increase Togetic's resolve.
But this tournament is no joke.
But unexpectedly, the conversation to calm Daisy down, the words he spoke, touched the strings in Togetic's heart.
It resonates and brings a reaction.
Natsu also feels a strong sense of happiness, even he feels it better than Togepi Shirona, after all, he is the closest person to Togetic.
Natsu also guessed the reason for Togetic's current condition.
Only what he said just now echoed in the deepest part of Togetic's heart.
"What a sensual little fellow."
Natsu smiled sweetly as he walked quickly.
Togetic's lack of will is not without reason. Natsu's "habituation" is to some extent one of the reasons for this phenomenon.
But each Pokemon has its own characteristics and personality.
For example, Beedrill's seriousness, Alakazam's hardworking, Doublade's prudence, each have their own characteristics.
Natsu doesn't have to make Doublade bold and flamboyant, Natsu doesn't have to make the stronger Alakazam reduce his training too much, and he doesn't make Beedrill change his stats.
Pokemon are also living creatures with thoughts and moods of their own.
They will be happy and sad.
Trainers don't actually train Pokemon to look the way they want them to.
And more have to follow their circumstances and character, and provide different training according to their different characteristics.
Otherwise, full sets of Pokémon training textbooks are everywhere, why haven't we seen a single awesome Pokémon appear yet?
Why are the Pokémon sold in Pokémon stores so unpopular with professional trainers?
But forcibly changing the status of a Pokémon character for his own purposes, or even turning their character into a machine-like tool, was something he was against.
Even in the face of Pokémon "tools", Natsu retains more of their original character.
This leads to the fact that his temperament is relatively lively, but it is not a very strong Togetic. It's lacking in willpower, let alone Beedrill and Alakazam, even when compared to Doublade, it's not bad.
But this time.
He seemed to have sensed Togetic's mood swings.
A very rich aura of happiness was absorbed by her little by little, so that the body would gradually heat up.
What has also changed is Togetic's power.
Compared to Alakazam who had entered the Gym Leader level, Beedrill who was about to enter the Gym Leader level, and Doublade who had just finished coating and adapted quickly, Togetic was a little less powerful.
(elite) middle.
This is what barely achieved after completing Natsu's daily tasks and training plans and participating in enough battles.
But now, the Pokémon of happiness seems to be slowly increasing in power under the control of the "happy breath".
It was resurrected together, as well as his state of mind.
This phenomenon is a bit similar to what Alakazam experienced before, a kind of "sudden enlightenment" feeling.
This is a change in strength caused by a change in mood.
In other words, it is the intimacy of Natsu and Togetic, has reached the threshold, a change in resonance.
While this is rare, it does happen.
Among them, the "emotional" Trainer Pokémon is a typical example.
Once a Pokémon reaches a certain level of compatibility with its own Trainer, the chances are even greater.
For example, future Ash is also an emotional Trainer, just like the Flint he saw before.
But for a more calm and rational Trainer like Natsu, this situation is still relatively rare, or very rare.
The benefits are also clear.
Togetic's power had been enhanced, and his determination had "changed" in this mood swing.
As Natsu's steps slowly slowed down, the temperature in Togetic's body also slowly dropped, and the "happy breath" like a white mist that clung to his body was also absorbed into her body.
"Chacki?"
Togetic opened her eyes blankly and looked around the dense forest around her, not knowing what was going on or what had been going on for a while.
Natsu took a deep breath before finally stopping.
With three points of doting, three points of relief, and three points of moving, he laughed and scolded, "You don't feel it."
Togetic stuck out her tongue.
It seems that Natsu came here because of it, but what happened along the way, she really didn't know.
"You feel good about yourself." Natsu said displeasedly.
Togetic didn't know, and she was shocked.
"Chako?!"
With a confused little face, she pointed at herself.
Her strength has greatly increased.
"Yeah, almost caught up with Beedril." Natsu rubbed her little head again.
Togetic's face showed surprise.
But thinking about the reason for this change, Togetic's face suddenly faded, and dhe leaned her head gently on Natsu's chest, and patted his chest twice with her small hand.
"Cha, cha"
'Don't cry, don't cry'
Natsu didn't know whether to cry or laugh after hearing Togetic's words.
"Who is crying?"
"Cha!"
'I'm!'
Togetic pointed to where Natsu's chest was.
Natsu was silent.
"Okay, it's over."
"Chakes!" Little head Togetic nodded.
"However, Togetic, you have almost reached the stage where you can evolve." Natsu said suddenly.
With this final push, Togetic has almost fully harnessed her potential in this form.
It is not impossible to repair again, but the progress will be relatively slow, which is somewhat ineffective.
The evolution of Pokemon brings not only changes in form, but also changes in strength, as well as changes in innate talents and potentials that can be extracted.
Keeping a Pokémon in an unevolved form doesn't mean it can't continue to increase in strength. Swinub Pryce is one of them.
It's just that the difficulty will undoubtedly be tens or even hundreds of times higher than the last evolved Pokémon, and the same goes for the resources and energy consumed.
"Cha?!"
'Evolution?!'
Togetic looked surprised.
She must have known that she could progress further, as Natsu had said since he got the Glazed Stone a long time ago.
She just didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
"You can slow down, your strength suddenly increases, and it will take time to get used to it, but this time the increase is natural, the time you need to get used to is not long, it only takes a few days at most." said Natsu again.
A few days.
It doesn't matter.
Togetic patted her small chest and sighed, giving her time to accept.
Do all Pokemon like to evolve?
Not necessarily.
Bulbasaur Ash didn't really like evolution, so even in the evolutionary stage, he held back by force.
Togetic doesn't really like evolution, but after all, these are familiar changes in the body, and there are still some distinct emotions.
After hearing that there were a few days to buffer, Togetic was instantly excited.
Natsu also made his considerations.
If the opponent in the next few rounds isn't very strong, he will probably save the Togetic evolution as a strong last hole card.
But if the opponent faced was too strong, it might be appropriate to advance Togetic's evolution.
Moreover.
From the current situation of the Alliance, not many knew that Togetic could evolve into Togekiss again.
If done right, it can also be used to write papers and earn pocket money.
"But the Item needs to be prepared first. With the evolved Togekiss, the effect will be very strong." Natsu said to himself.
Some of the Items that Togetic was carrying now, Razor Fang was the most effective, the rest like Soothe Bell were actually not very effective, and they had to find an opportunity to get it out of this little "stingy" hand.
Also, Silk Scarf Items that increased the formidable power of Normal Type moves were actually very limited, and Normal Type moves used by Togetic had a much less chance.
"Chaa?!"
Togetic's little eyes lit up when she heard the new Item.
She also has a small goal.
That is collecting Pokemon Items.
In Togetic's words: I can do without it, but I can't live without it.
Obviously, Natsu wants to get Soothe Bell back, so she might think about buying another one.
