Trainer? I’m just an ordinary hot spring owner.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the Litten in front of him, who was looking at him warily, blocking his way and refusing to retreat, and felt a little strange in his heart.
No way… I could have encountered this? If I guessed correctly, there should be a long-haired dog on the sofa?
He took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight. The strong light illuminated the environment in front of him and Jiang Cheng could clearly see the figure on the sofa.
“No way, it really is a long-haired dog!”
Chapter 231: Saving Private Shaggy Dog
Litten and Shaggy, this combination is very interesting in Alola.
Especially in a place like Alola, wild long-haired dogs and wild flamingos are like winter snow lotus together.
The prototype of the long-haired dog comes from the St. Bernard, and its appearance has some characteristics of the Shih Tzu and the Maltese, and its habits are similar to those of the St. Bernard. Although it is large in size, it has a very mild temper and a stable personality without explosiveness. Its long hair has excellent warmth-retaining effect, and it likes to stay with humans very much. It is very suitable for snow rescue work and is a natural rescue dog. People in cold areas basically have a long-haired dog.
Litten, needless to say, is based on the American Shorthair cat, a tabby cat. It is a relatively independent little cat with a strong sense of responsibility. However, Litten is not a Pokémon that can be seen everywhere on the street. This little guy is very precious.
However, what made Jiang Cheng feel familiar was not because of this reason, but because he had seen the combination of Litten and Long-haired Dog in animation before.
In the Sun and Moon animation, the long-haired dog who adopted the little flaming cat taught the little flaming cat to grow up, and the little flaming cat took care of the weak long-haired dog. In the end, the long-haired dog died suddenly. It can be said that Jiang Cheng shed a lot of tears. This kind of fatherly plot, no matter how many times, makes it difficult for him to control himself…
Um, no, a weak, long-haired dog?
Jiang Cheng suddenly turned his gaze towards the long-haired dog curled up on the dirty old sofa. If this was really this pair, then wouldn’t the long-haired dog be in great danger?
No, you have to save it yourself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately started to act. However, the Litten, seeing Jiang Cheng’s actions, immediately stood in front of Jiang Cheng.
“Meow wow!”
Jiang Cheng said to the Fire Cat quickly:
“Fiery Cat, the long-haired dog is in a very dangerous condition now. It must be treated as soon as possible! Otherwise, it may be life-threatening!”
Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the Fire Cat was stunned for a moment, but still stood in front of Jiang Cheng with some vigilance.
Words are not enough, we need to see concrete actions. If words don’t work, we need to use supporting actions to explain. Besides, Jiang Cheng is indeed anxious. The condition of this long-haired dog in the animation can be said to be critically ill, and a critical illness notice may be issued at any time.
“Xiaopeng’er, cover me!”
“Bonnie!”
“Don’t hurt that child”
“Boni ao”
Jiang Cheng immediately ran towards the long-haired dog. The flamingo was anxious and immediately attacked Jiang Cheng. It arched its body, and the short red hair on its back stood up. A small ball of flame suddenly spurted out of its mouth. The flame was as big as a small tennis ball and slowly flew towards Jiang Cheng’s face.
Such an attack, with weak flames, inaccurate firing, loose steps, slow reactions, none of them are decent, and they still want to hurt Jiang Cheng! Dream on!
The small fireball of Litten was immediately dispersed by Eruption’s stick. Litten wanted to move forward anxiously, but was blocked by the figure wearing an iron mask and could not move forward.
The cold, powerful, and insurmountable figure with sharp edges and expressionless face made the Fire Cat feel a little desperate, but it couldn’t give up! And it would never give up!
Erguiyan remembered Jiang Cheng’s instructions and did not attack actively, but it was extremely difficult for Litten to get past her.
While Erguiyan and Litten were confronting each other, Jiang Cheng also came to the side of the long-haired dog. The long-haired dog was sleeping before, and its physical condition was very bad now. It was sleeping for longer and longer periods of time, especially after coming here from Melemele Island. It needed rest more urgently. This was also the reason why Litten frequently stole food in the past two days, trying to replenish the long-haired dog’s physical strength.
The long-haired dog had woken up at this moment. Seeing Jiang Cheng, he tried to struggle to get up, but was held down by Jiang Cheng: “Don’t move. You are in a very bad condition now. I will take you away from here!”
Jiang Cheng reached out and felt the current condition of the long-haired dog. The more optimistic thing was that the long-haired dog had obviously not reached the state of being exhausted as in the animation. There was still some oil in its engine. However, through the long hair, what Jiang Cheng touched was a skinny body.
Its body was in great physical condition and it was almost holding on by force, which made Jiang Cheng even more anxious.
The long-haired dog’s natural affinity for humans made it choose to believe Jiang Cheng without hesitation, but soon it looked at the Litten that was constantly attacking the Eruption with great concern.
Jiang Cheng also turned his head and saw the situation over there: “I won’t hurt that little guy, but its temper is a little hard to persuade. It would be best if you can persuade it and we can leave here together.”
The long-haired dog nodded, raised his head, and barked softly at the flamingo.
“Woof woof…”
“Meow” Hearing the barking of the long-haired dog, the Fire Cat was stunned for a moment and stopped attacking.
“Millaton! Come out!”
Jiang Cheng chose to release Millerton. When Millerton came to this dim environment and felt the light in the environment, he blinked his eyes for the first time. Then his two huge eyes radiated light like two headlights, illuminating a large area in front.
“Millaton, I need your help to take the long-haired dog now. Let’s go to the Pokémon Center together!”
“Ah Gas”
Jiang Cheng walked towards the long-haired dog and prepared to pick it up. It was surprisingly light in his hands, so he placed it on Milton’s back. The long-haired dog’s hair was long and dense, and Milton felt quite comfortable on his back.
“Let’s hurry up and get going!”
Jiang Cheng quickly ran to the side of the flaming cat and grabbed the back of its neck. The flaming cat, which was grabbed by the back of its neck, miraculously became obedient, with its front and back paws curled up together and not moving.
But it soon realized something was wrong. How could it be controlled by humans? It twisted its body to resist, but Jiang Cheng had already thrown it onto the long-haired dog.
“Awoof…” the long-haired dog whispered soothingly.
Hearing the barking of the long-haired dog, the flamingo lying on the long-haired dog’s back stopped getting angry and instead curled up on the long-haired dog’s back, looking at Jiang Cheng vigilantly.
Jiang Cheng didn’t explain much. Brothers, this is a matter of urgency: “Let’s go, take action quickly!”
After saying that, he ran out of the sewer first, followed by Erotica, and Milton followed behind with the long-haired dog.
“Jiang Cheng!!!” As soon as he came out of the sewer, Jiang Cheng saw Liliae looking up anxiously from above.
“Lily Ai Wushen? When did you come?”
Chapter 232: Fate is hard to defy
Liliae saw Jiang Cheng and ran to him to check on him. “Are you okay? I heard you were outside investigating the ghost Pokémon, so I rushed over. I followed you all the way here. Are you okay?”
Don’t mention it, this feeling of being cared for is unexpectedly really good, but it also gives me goosebumps. Jiang Cheng scratched his chin and said, “I’m fine.”
He immediately remembered the important matter at the moment: “Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to hurry to the Pokémon Center.”
“Huh? Pokémon Center? Who’s hurt?”
“It’s not us who are injured, it’s other Pokémon. This long-haired dog is in a very bad condition and must be treated as soon as possible. I’ll tell you slowly on the way there.”
“Millaton, full speed ahead!”
“Agas!” Millerton nodded and began to rush towards the Pokémon Center.
Liliae didn’t waste any time and immediately took out the Poké Ball.
“Come out, Tanabata Blue Bird!”
Jiang Cheng and Lilia climbed onto the back of the Tanabata Bluebird and said, “Take off, Tanabata Bluebird.
“Chiu ah”
The Tanabata Bluebird slowly took off and flew towards the Pokémon Center.
On the way, Jiang Cheng also started talking to Lillie about the situation. For example, the culprit of this incident was not a ghost-type Pokémon, but a little Litten. Jiang Cheng made some adaptations to the scene after entering the sewer. He changed it to when he was investigating, he saw that the long-haired dog was in a bad condition, so he decisively took it out for inspection.
Liliae nodded, believing in Jiang Cheng’s words. Jiang Cheng’s previous personality was that of a very kind and gentle person who liked to help others. He was known as Alola Hu Baoyi. Such actions were completely in line with his personality.
And do we need to explain why we need to rescue Pokémon?
Milton was extremely fast, and Tanabata Bluebird wasn’t slow either, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center. Jiang Cheng jumped off the back of Tanabata Bluebird, picked up the long-haired dog, and rushed into the Pokémon Center.
“Miss Joy, quick, first aid!”
The long-haired dog was sent to the emergency room, while Jiang Cheng and the flamingo were kept outside the treatment room.
The Litten squatted at the door of the treatment room, staring at the door.
“Stop staring at me, come over and take a break.”
Jiang Cheng greeted the little guy.
The flamingo looked back at Jiang Cheng, then turned its head back and continued to stare. It seemed that it would not give up until it saw the long-haired dog come out.
Jiang Cheng let it go. He could understand the feeling. Although the long-haired dog was thin, it was still heavy. Jiang Cheng sat on the bench outside and waited for news with Lilia.
Jiang Cheng looked at Liliae, who also looked very worried.
“Are you worried about the long-haired dog, too?”
Lilia nodded: “I have a Yorkie at home. I raised it when it was a little Yorkie. When I saw the long-haired dog, I thought of it…”
So that’s how it is… Jiang Cheng didn’t ask any more questions, but just stared at the door of the rescue room silently.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Cheng and Lilia finally saw Miss Joy coming out of the rescue room.
“Ms. Joy, what’s wrong?” Jiang Cheng and Litten immediately surrounded her.
Miss Joy shook her head: “Not very optimistic”
Jiang Cheng was mentally prepared for this situation, Litten had no idea, and Lillie covered her mouth.
“This long-haired dog is too old and has been in a state of long-term malnutrition. Its physical indicators are far lower than those of its peers. Long-term lack of food and overwork have further squeezed its body. This child…is no longer something we can save. Where did you find this long-haired dog?”
The long-haired dog’s fur was felted and a little dirty, with leaves mixed in its fur. It was obviously a wild Pokémon.
“In the underground sewer, Miss Joy, the long-haired dog…” Jiang Cheng choked up: “How long will it last?”
“It’s difficult to predict accurately, but it’s roughly around four to six months. If you get good care in the future, it should be able to be extended appropriately, but it won’t be too long, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
Joey could see that Jiang Cheng was going to adopt the long-haired dog, but she also had to explain the long-haired dog’s condition to Jiang Cheng. Among the people present, she might be the one who felt the most uncomfortable.
This feeling of trying everything to save lives but failing…
Litten looked at Joey, then at Jiang Cheng, and then at Liliae, whose eyes were already red. It didn’t understand the situation. It turned its head and saw that the door of the treatment room was open, so it took a step and rushed in.
“How…can it be like this…” Liliae couldn’t accept this result. The Pokémon’s life was about to end, especially for a long-haired dog that looked so similar to Hayok…it was too cruel.
“I understand. Is there any specific way to take care of it? In other words, how can we make the long-haired dog recover quickly in terms of diet and feeding?”
The situation of the long-haired dog has been made very clear in the animation, and Jiang Cheng also knows the situation of the long-haired dog. My plan failed because it is fate. In this case, the most important thing is to do well in the present.
“As for this… you can feed it some special feed. Of course, energy blocks are the best, and there are also corresponding tree fruits. I will make a list for you later.”
“Okay, thank you Miss Joy.”
“Don’t thank me… I didn’t do anything either. This long-haired dog has a strong will to survive. It seems that it is holding on with some kind of obsession…”
After responding a few times, Miss Joy also left in a hurry. She felt ashamed to face Jiang Cheng.
With some kind of obsession?
Jiang Cheng held the report in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
The story of the Shaggy Dog is not clearly explained in the animation, but the Shaggy Dog is actually a Pokémon with a relatively long lifespan. A trainer who raises a Shaggy Dog can almost be 100% sure that this Pokémon will be sent away by him. Judging from the rotten old house where the Shaggy Dog lives in the animation, it is obvious that this Shaggy Dog has outlived its owner.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will spend the rest of its life in that old house, but life is unpredictable.
By chance, it adopted this flamingo cat, which brought some twists to the long-haired dog’s retirement life.
The flaming cat was too young, it was still a baby. Such a little creature could not survive alone in the wild, but the dog did not have much time left and could not protect the little creature. So, the long-haired dog chose to leave the old house where he had lived all his life, and take the flaming cat to wander in human settlements, hoping that humans would adopt the little creature.
This place is hundreds of miles away from Melemele Island. It is hard to imagine how it managed to survive with such a weak body.
Chapter 233: Bringing Back the Long-Haired Dog
When Jiang Cheng walked into the treatment room, he saw the little flaming cat rubbing its head against the long-haired dog beside the bed, looking very worried. The long-haired dog also responded gently.
Hearing the noise of Jiang Cheng coming in, the fire-spotted cat immediately stood up in alert, guarding against Jiang Cheng’s approach.
“You kid…” Jiang Cheng looked at the little guy with some anger and amusement.
Aren’t Pokémon supposed to be very smart? Why is this kitten as stubborn as a little Baka?
But it’s normal. This Litten is a born wandering saint. It has been wandering since it was young. It is normal for it to have such a high vigilance. Otherwise, this little guy should be in someone’s Poké Ball now.
Wild Pokémon follow the same principle as wild animals: the more wary and distant you are from humans, the safer it will be.
The vigilance of the flamingo is also one of the reasons why it can stand in front of Jiang Cheng like this.
“Okay, save your energy, I’ll check on the long-haired dog.”
Unable to communicate with the little fool, Jiang Cheng chose to directly contact the boss of the long-haired dog.
At this moment, the long-haired dog had already undergone some simple treatment by Miss Joy, and its hair had become much smoother.
