"That's a good jump!"
Adrian looked at the Magikarp, which had launched itself into the air and was now a tiny speck, and was very pleased.
Rumble!
After a brief moment of suspension, the Magikarp still fell back into the water, splashing up a large amount of water.
Just then, Clair and Wille also ran over.
"Magikarp, you learned Bounce?"
Clair looked at the Magikarp with excitement, but also a hint of suspicion.
It had made no progress this morning, so how could it suddenly learn it by noon?
"Karoo ~ Karoo ~"
Seeing his trainer approach, the Magikarp looked smug.
I am a genius!
The skill master only guided me once, and I learned it!
Trainer, don't you think I'm amazing?
Adrian smiled and said nothing as he watched Clair and Magikarp interact.
All the profound things he had said earlier were actually to cover up the existence of the TM.
Although this Magikarp was not stupid, it wasn't particularly smart either, and with his deliberate attempt to cover up, it naturally didn't see through the trick, only thinking it was a genius.
Adrian spoke up at the right time: "Miss Clair, Magikarp is very talented. However, it has just learned the Bounce skill, so it still needs to practice more and diligently improve its proficiency in the Bounce skill."
"I understand!"
Clair nodded her head.
She knew that Magikarp learning Bounce was only the first step; the key was to stimulate its flying-type bloodline potential as much as possible before evolution, so that Gyarados could fly after evolving.
At the same time, Clair was filled with guilt: "Adrian was clearly teaching Magikarp with such dedication and effort, yet I just suspected him..."
If it weren't for the crowd, Clair would have slapped herself to apologize.
"Adrian, call your Gyarados over! I remember you said your Gyarados hadn't mastered Dragon-type moves. I'll teach it the Dragon Dance skill first!"
As an apology, Clair enthusiastically said: "Once Gyarados masters the Dragon Dance skill, I'll teach it the secret techniques."
Adrian looked strange: "Teaching Gyarados the 'Dragon Dance' skill?"
But he still called his Gyarados over.
Afterward, Clair also released her Gyarados, having her Gyarados perform Dragon Dance while explaining the energy flow method of the Dragon Dance move, as well as the key techniques for energy flow.
"Awoo roar ~"
Gyarados stared with wide eyes, looking at Adrian with a puzzled expression, not knowing what his trainer was up to.
Dragon Dance, I've already learned it!
Seeing that Adrian's Gyarados was a bit distracted, Clair wasn't angry, she just asked: "Gyarados, how much of what I just said did you remember?"
"Awoo roar ~"
Gyarados let out a loud cry, indicating that it had already learned it.
"This Gyarados isn't focused on learning at all. It's big but seems to lack brains."
As a member of the Dragon Master Family, Wille clearly understood Gyarados's reply. He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking: "The key is that it's sly and dishonest. It's probably going to be like this its whole life."
If Gyarados doesn't use its brain, it will forever be an aquatic bully!
It will never amount to anything!
Clair also shook her head.
But out of guilt towards Adrian, she patiently said: "Then show me!"
"Awoo roar ~"
Seeing Adrian nod, Gyarados immediately let out a strange cry, its huge body swaying in the water, like a flood dragon swimming.
At the same time, Gyarados's body slightly swelled, and its aura began to rise steadily.
Because it was only in the preliminary 'mastery' stage, Gyarados's Dragon Dance was very slow, and its movements were relatively stiff, far from comparable to Wille's and Clair's pokémon.
But undeniably, this was Dragon Dance.
"It really performed it!"
Clair and Wille's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Could it be that it had already learned it before? And was just deceiving us?"
After the shock, Wille looked suspicious and exchanged glances with Clair.
There were pokémon that could learn moves just by watching once, but those were usually basic moves.
Dragon Dance, this was an advanced enhancement skill!
The learning difficulty was extremely high!
But as members of the Dragon Master Family, their eyesight was also very sharp, and they were experienced enough to see that Gyarados's Dragon Dance skill was extremely rusty, truly at the level of just having mastered it.
Adrian quickly stepped forward, made a gesture with his thumb and forefinger, and said with a chuckle: "My Gyarados has a tiny bit of talent in learning skills."
After speaking, he didn't forget to offer a timely compliment: "Of course, Miss Clair also taught very well, making a huge contribution."
Clair was still in shock, but Wille's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Adrian, does your Gyarados know the Dragon Breath move?"
Adrian was puzzled and honestly replied: "Dragon Breath? No, it doesn't!"
"Then I'll teach your Gyarados Dragon Breath, let's see if you can learn it in one go."
Wille released his Gyarados and commanded it to use the Dragon Breath move.
Boom!
A scorching breath shot out from Gyarados's mouth, finally landing on the water and exploding.
After demonstrating once, Wille began to explain the key points of the Dragon Breath move.
Finally, he even had his Gyarados demonstrate it again, for fear that Adrian and his Gyarados hadn't seen it clearly.
"So that's what it means!"
Adrian smiled, mentally activated a 'Dragon Breath' TM in his fishing space, infused it into Gyarados's body, and then said with a smile: "Gyarados, have you learned this Dragon Breath move?"
"Awoo roar ~"
Gyarados first paused, then closed its eyes to seriously digest the TM.
Before long, Gyarados opened its eyes and gathered a little power, immediately spewing out a scorching Dragon Breath, though its power was considerably weaker.
"It really learned it!"
Wille looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Do you know Dragon Tail? No? Then I'll teach you again!"
Wille didn't believe it and immediately switched to another move.
Adrian had a 'Dragon Tail' TM, so teaching Gyarados was just a matter of moving his finger.
When he saw Adrian's Gyarados successfully use Dragon Tail, Wille's chest heaved violently, as if he had fallen into a state of frenzy.
"Do you know Outrage? No? Good! Very good!"
Wille was emotionally agitated, his face flushed as he said: "If you're so capable, learn Outrage in one go too."
"Hmm ~ ~ ~"
Adrian glanced at the 'Outrage' TM in his fishing space and fell into contemplation.
As a major Dragon-type move, Outrage's learning difficulty and complexity had increased by another level.
Taking advantage of the interval while Wille was teaching and explaining, Adrian immediately activated the 'Outrage' TM and infused it into Gyarados.
"Awoo roar ~"
As Gyarados entered a berserk state and successfully performed 'Outrage', the originally agitated Wille suddenly quieted down, even his expression became blank.
His worldview had collapsed!!!
Clair, who had seen everything, also let out a bitter laugh and sighed: "This Gyarados's talent for learning moves is simply too good, isn't it?"
But then, Clair thought again and felt that all of this didn't seem so difficult to accept.
If this Gyarados didn't have talent for learning skills, it wouldn't have been able to master the Bounce skill during its Magikarp stage.
"Awoo roar ~"
After performing Outrage, Gyarados felt slightly dizzy, but it didn't completely fall into a state of confusion.
On the contrary, having learned several moves consecutively, Adrian's Gyarados was in high spirits.
It raised its head, looking at the other two dumbfounded Gyarados, with a look of 'of course'.
Are these moves difficult?
I don't think so!
Anyway, my trainer just pointed it out, and I learned it!
Aren't you guys the same?
