Chapter Eleven: Doctor's Class
(Second update, new book seeking collections and flowers. Thanks to "Persi" boss for the reward support, it’s a lot of money!)
"I am very sorry, I worried you!" Xiao Zhi slightly bowed to Professor Oak, although it was not his fault.
The staff also came over and explained the situation. Professor Oak was surprised when he heard about what happened to Xiao Zhi.
Especially when the other children heard that Xiao Zhi defeated the Pidgeotto, they were shocked, their eyes filled with admiration and they exclaimed. Xiao Gang was even more surprised.
In the past, he would always use his knowledge of Pokémon to belittle him, but he was not a real trainer. Everything was just a theoretical battle.
However, Xiao Zhi today, without his knowledge, had already gone through a practical exercise. He defeated Pidgeotto with Growlithe, using the weak to overcome the strong.
It really shocked Xiao Gang.
"Humph! If it were me, I could do it too!" The competitive spirit inside him was also aroused. Coming from a privileged family and being the grandson of a Pokémon Doctor, he naturally did not want to lose like this.
"Sorry, Xiao Zhi, it’s all my fault..."
Serena saw Xiao Zhi apologizing and stepped forward to speak up, because Xiao Zhi had gone to rescue her, if there was any punishment, it would be directed at her.
"Don't worry about it, it’s okay as long as you are fine. If you all become trainers in the future, this kind of thing happens all the time in the wild."
"In such a situation, you must calmly analyze your own training level. If you can't handle it, don't try to be tough!"
"If you see a trainer in trouble in the wild, you should help them as much as you can!" Professor Oak did not get angry because Xiao Zhi and Serena caused trouble.
To be precise, it was because they were not prepared that such a situation occurred. It was the best outcome that the two children were fine. If something happened to the two children, they wouldn't know how to explain it.
He took this opportunity to give the children a lesson.
Xiao Zhi thought to himself, as expected of Professor Oak, he could still teach people a lesson under such circumstances. But he wasn’t worried that Professor Oak would be angry, he didn't seem to have seen Professor Oak get angry before.
"Got it!!" No matter what, the children still took it to heart and responded in unison.
"Okay, everyone's tired today. Now everyone rest here, lunch is about to be prepared, you can rest here, you can play in the nearby open space, but don't go into the forest!"
Professor Oak gave everyone an order. The children all responded seriously. After what had just happened, it served as a warning for them to not run around randomly.
The staff released the Pokémon to guard the surroundings, because Growlithe's sense of smell was very sensitive, so it could effectively warn of approaching danger.
The children were also very fond of Growlithe, but two of the Growlithe ran to Xiao Zhi's side and barked at him, naturally the two that had fought alongside him just now.
Other Growlithe seemed to be attracted as well. A few Growlithe seemed to be competing, then they knew what had happened and naturally began to get close to Xiao Zhi.
They directly surrounded Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi was a little helpless, but he was also very happy.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was so popular, the other children were filled with envy and gathered around. They asked Xiao Zhi how to get along with Pokémon.
After a long time, he finally managed to deal with them. He crouched down and gently stroked the head of one of the Growlithe, and the Growlithe licked Xiao Zhi's hand in response.
"Do you want to try?" Serena had been standing aside watching. She thought the Growlithe were cute and wanted to go up to them, but she was a little afraid. Xiao Zhi seemed to notice and asked.
"Ah? Can...can I?" Serena was slightly taken aback when Xiao Zhi asked, then she asked with a little anticipation.
"Of course, they are very obedient!"
Serena listened to Xiao Zhi's words, as if encouraged, swallowed her saliva and cautiously stretched out her hand. The Growlithe that Xiao Zhi was holding saw this and proactively put its head forward.
Serena was startled and slightly retracted her hand.
"It's okay!" Xiao Zhi smiled and said. Serena mustered her courage again and extended her hand forward.
Finally, she touched the Growlithe's head. The Growlithe seemed to enjoy it as well and rubbed its head against Serena's hand. Then it raised its head and licked Serena's palm.
"Haha! It’s so itchy!!"
"I want to too!" Seeing this, the other children were also moved and all crowded over to get in touch with the Growlithe. Luckily, these Growlithe were all bred by the research institute and were very familiar with humans, they were quite gentle.
"What a bunch of kids!" Xiao Gang stood in the distance watching this scene, he was also a little moved, but he was still putting on a tough act. But soon, he experienced what it meant to "taste the sweetness of success."
......
"Doctor, is this alright? There’s a Pidgeotto, I don't know if it will reappear!" The staff saw the children forget their fear and got along well, they were naturally happy, but they were still a little worried.
"It’s alright, alright. Pidgeotto are the leaders of their flocks. After the Pidgeotto is defeated, they will not easily appear in this vicinity anymore."
Professor Oak was the most knowledgeable about Pokémon ecology. He was quite familiar with the habits of Pidgeotto.
Pidgeotto is a Pokémon with a strong territorial instinct and a domineering nature. They also have a tendency to bully the weak. Once defeated, they will not dare to provoke enemies stronger than themselves.
The Pidgey saw the Pidgeotto defeated, naturally they would not dare to come over.
"Understood!"
"But just in case, we still need to be prepared." Although he could be sure, but after all, it involved so many children, Professor Oak was still quite cautious.
"Okay!"
The staff responded, and then each went to take care of their own business. At the same time, they prepared lunch. Professor Oak looked at Xiao Zhi, who was with the other children.
"Your child is as outstanding as you are!" After watching Xiao Zhi for a while, he finally smiled kindly.
