At half past seven, after three and a half hours of training, Xu Qiansu was put back into the bath by Caidou.
With feeble steps, he slowly went upstairs with his three cubs. On the way, he met Pikachu, Fire Spot, Mumu Xiao and Rock Dog who were getting up for morning exercise... Xiaozhi was still sleeping.
The four Pokémon looked at Xu Qiansu strangely, said hello, then left the wooden house and began to practice.
Ma Li walked out of the room and was about to go upstairs to wake Xu Qiansu up. She immediately stood in the stairwell and looked at his tired back.
She did not call him, but looked at Caidou who walked into the wooden house. She frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't it a little too strict?"
"How can it be comfortable to practice martial arts...and he is already sixteen years old, so he needs to put in more effort than ordinary people. Plus, this is his own choice." Caidou said indifferently.
Ma Li pursed her lips. It should be said that Caidou had amazing intuition or rich experience. In short, she spoke to Ma Li's heart with one sentence.
She never interfered with Xu Qiansu's own choices.
Ma Li looked away and looked at the empty stairs. She quickly withdrew her gaze, looked at Caidou, and said calmly: "He will be seventeen in about a week."
This was meaningless. Caidou didn't care if Xu Qiansu was one year older or younger... Anyway, he was a little late in martial arts.
But Ma Li just wanted to refute the slightest flaw in Caidou's words.
Caidou shook her head slightly and said no more. Her disciples had their own teaching methods, and naturally they would not change because of Ma Li's words.
She returned to the room, took off her clothes, revealing her shapely and perfectly proportioned figure... She also wanted to take a shower.
Although she didn't care much about this, as a woman, she never wanted to smell like sweat all over her body.
If Xu Qiansu knew Caidou's psychological activities, he would definitely say that even if she was sweating all over her back, she would not smell...
After all, practice brings true knowledge, and only those who have heard it have the right to speak.
The warm water slowly flows down from the body, taking away all the fatigue, and the steam fills the bathroom.
Xu Qiansu opened the door, wiped her hair, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.
Perhaps it was because of Cai Dou's special porridge that he didn't feel tired after exercising for three and a half hours.
I just feel hungry, and every cell in my body is thirsty for energy.
Xu Qiansu stepped onto the stairs, thought for a moment, and then turned back to the room. The three cubs followed him step by step.
He came to the window, recalled Caidou's actions, and then jumped out.
Snapped.
He fell to the ground... but Chiruli was there, so he wasn't afraid.
The three Pokémon jumped down with him, and Xu Qiansu looked at them and laughed.
They laughed happily together with Xu Qiansu.
Caido, who was in the room on the first floor, closed her eyes in the bathroom and let the water flow over her skin. She suddenly opened her eyes and listened for a while, and a smile appeared on her cold and pretty face.
How else could Xu Qiansu want to practice martial arts?
Look, Caido's five senses alone are so sharp.
When Xu Qiansu walked into the wooden house, most people were already awake.
Serena walked down from the second floor, and a sleepy Xiaozhi followed behind her... It seemed that Serena had gone to wake up Xiaozhi. Pikachu was outside, and Xiaozhi was sleepy. I don't know how she got in. To Xiaozhi's room.
Mao, Shui Lian, Sonia and others were busy in the kitchen.
Kaqi and Mamane played with the lava bug on the fireplace quilt. Kaqi gestured to the lava bug from time to time with the fire Z pure crystal in his hand, asking it if it wanted to experience the feeling of Z moves.
Xu Qiansu looked around but did not see Ma Li.
Serina, Mary and Lillie were chatting in the room that day, and they must have a good relationship. Serena was talking happily to Xiaozhi at the moment, so Xu Qiansu naturally wouldn't go over and disturb the scenery.
He came to a large dining table next to the living room... Lillie now pulled up her long blond hair, wore an apron, and helped to serve the bowls and dishes.
He asked politely: "Miss Lillie, do you know where Mary is?"
"Little... Miss?" Lillie looked very reserved when facing Xu Qiansu. She wiped her white hands on her apron in a panic, tilted her head and thought about it, and then apologized in a soft tone. : "I'm sorry, I don't know either..."
Xu Qiansu smiled helplessly, "You don't have to be so polite."
Lillie lowered her eyes and wrung her little hands, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Xu Qiansu also knew her temperament, so he said nothing more to avoid Lillie becoming more nervous.
As for Lillie's Pokémon, Shiro is much more outgoing.
She looked at the Vulpix who was following Xu Qiansu's feet for a while, then came closer, licking and combing each other's hair.
Xu Qiansu turned around to look for her, but found Ma Li slowly walking down from the second floor.
The two looked at each other.
Xu Qiansu understood that Ma Li had gone to wake him up.
He couldn't help but laugh.
However, in fact, Ma Li just wanted to ask him to wash the dirty clothes carefully and not to throw them on the floor.
But when I knocked on the door, no one answered.
She looked at Xu Qiansu's smiling face, and a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart slowly subsided. She walked over and glanced at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"The saying 'when you see a gentleman, you won't like it', that's it." Xu Qiansu said with a smile.
"I don't understand." Ma Li shook her head slightly, then glanced sideways at him and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Um."
"Wait." Ma Li walked into the kitchen.
The two of them have been traveling together for so long, and they often eat each other's cooking.
Therefore, Ma Li naturally had no objection to cooking for Xu Qiansu.
Lillie looked at the two of them and couldn't help but feel envious in her heart.
She also wanted to have friends who spoke in such a manner that no one else could interrupt.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't value Alola's friends, it's just that, well... their relationship style doesn't seem to be as close as that of Xu Qiansu and Ma Li... Lillie was completely confused by what she was thinking in her heart.
She shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and walked into the kitchen to help.
Bai Huanghuang and Vulpix were still grooming each other's hair.
Xu Qiansu looked at the two little foxes and thought that she should buy a small brush to comb the six tails.
…
After everyone had breakfast, they gathered outside the wooden house under Caidou's instructions and released their Pokémon.
Caido looked at their Pokémon, judging their cultivation status and specific strength.
As a competition among trainers, winter camping is naturally inseparable from Pokémon. Knowing their strength also makes it easier for Caidou to assign tasks.
After observing for a moment, she had a rough classification of the strength of these Pokémon in her mind.
Among everyone, Xiaozhi and Mali are the strongest and are at the top.
Among them, Xiaozhi's Pikachu is the strongest. It already has the top level of strength even among the gym leader's Pokémon... But in comparison, his other three Pokémon are not as good. There are quite a few, but they should not be underestimated, and they also have Z-moves that are not restricted by the venue.
As for Mali...the strength of Morubek and Pickpocket Cat is very balanced. Without a battle, Caidou would not be able to tell which of the two Pokémon is stronger and which is weaker...
But both of them can easily kill Ash's other three Pokémon except Pikachu. As for whether they can defeat Pikachu... they are probably still a little behind, but they are still gym-level Pokémon.
Then the second batch was Kaqi, Xu Qiansu and Serina.
Kaqi's Charizard and Explosive Turtle are both the final evolved forms, and they have fire-type Z-moves, so they are not much different in terms of strength.
And Xu Qiansu... As a master, he still has a preference for his disciples.
If Kaqi and Xu Qiansu fight, Caidou thinks Xu Qiansu will win. If Xu Qiansu can't win, Caidou will practice until he can win.
As a Pokémon performer, Serena's job is not to fight, but the Pokémon have been trained very well and have good combat power... And as Xiaozhi traveled for a year, under the influence of what he heard and saw, There are also some unique insights into Pokémon battles.
Summary: The strength of the second batch is roughly Xu Qiansu≥Kaqi>Salina.
Finally, there are Mamane, Mao, Suiren and Lillie who are the weakest.
They both only have one Pokémon and don't have much experience with Pokémon battles.
Mamane has a good talent for data analysis, Mao is a cooking expert, Suiren... I heard from Dr. Kukui that he is good at fishing.
In general, it is the support staff.
Only Lillie... Caido looked at the blond girl who was wringing her hands and looking very shy as she looked at her.
I heard that she has a phobia of Pokémon, and she is also very distressed by it...
Although winning or losing in winter camping is important, in the final analysis, it is to cultivate their abilities as trainers.
Caidou began to think about how to help Lillie overcome her phobia of Pokémon...
Her eyes lowered slightly, looking at Xu Qiansu's Vulpix and Lillie's white sway.
I heard that Lillie is not afraid of Shiro... Compared to other Pokémon, as they are of the same race, it would be easier for Xu Qiansu's Vulpix to accept it.
She nodded slightly and had an idea.
