Clair was a straightforward person; she didn't notice Adrian's apprehension.
Seeing that he didn't object, she took it as an agreement.
"According to our family's ancient records, a family ancestor once encountered a flying Gyarados in the outer seas.
It's a pity that ancestor tried many times to breed a flying Gyarados, but failed to achieve it until his death.
I always thought this was just a beautiful fantasy..."
Clair looked at Adrian and said excitedly, "But your Gyarados can float in the air, which proves that the contents recorded in my family's ancient texts are all true."
"Ah? Can Gyarados really fly?"
Clair's words made Adrian happy.
He had actually always hoped for this.
As a flying pokémon, Gyarados should theoretically be able to fly.
This is also reflected in the games.
However, in the anime world, a flying Gyarados has not yet appeared.
Even Lance's Red Gyarados could only crawl on the ground when battling Leon's Charizard.
First and foremost, it lost in terms of presence.
If Lance's Red Gyarados could fly, it would be hard to say who would win the battle against Leon.
As for the current Gyarados being unable to fly, one can only say they are too weak, especially not being proficient in flying-type moves.
After all, according to the Pokedex, Magikarp was also a very powerful existence in the distant past.
It's just that as time went on, Magikarp became weaker and weaker, until it became the current useless pokémon.
And Adrian has a TM; as long as he adds points, he can continuously improve his skill proficiency, and he has a complete chance to reproduce the heroic posture of the ancient flying Gyarados.
Of course, Adrian only had this idea before and was constantly trying in this direction.
But Clair's words were equivalent to skipping the trial phase and directly telling Adrian the definitive answer.
That is, Gyarados can really fly!
This made Adrian full of motivation.
A flying Gyarados, there's something to it!!!
Seeing Adrian's shocked expression, Clair was a little proud.
This was the heritage of their millennium-old family; even a few words of record, when brought outside, could sometimes stir up huge waves.
Adrian glanced at Clair and tentatively asked, "So, what is your intention?"
"According to my calculations, mastering the 'Bounce' skill during the Magikarp stage is most effective in activating Magikarp's flying bloodline.
Then, when Magikarp evolves, the bloodline advantage will be further amplified, only then is there hope for true flight."
Clair did not hide anything and directly stated her intention: "So, I want you to teach my Magikarp the 'Bounce' skill."
"Sure enough, she wants me to teach the 'Bounce' skill!"
Adrian's expression stiffened.
On the one hand, he wasn't very keen on letting such a miraculous item as the TM leak out.
On the other hand, he didn't have a 'Bounce' TM on hand right now, so he couldn't teach it even if he wanted to.
After all, he wasn't a real skill master!
Seeing Adrian's troubled expression, Clair quickly said, "I know teaching Magikarp the 'Bounce' skill should be very difficult, but I am willing to pay a sufficient price."
"Hmm?"
Glancing at the beautiful woman so close, Adrian's heart stirred: "Any price?"
"You might as well tell me your requirements first."
Clair's eyes flickered; she neither agreed nor refused.
Adrian blurted out, "I want a Dratini!"
The most famous signature pokémon of the Dragon Master Family is undoubtedly Dragonite.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Dragon Master Family is the family in the entire Pokémon world most skilled at breeding Dragonite.
Although Adrian could also go to the Safari Zone and try to catch wild Dratini there.
But if he could obtain a Dratini carefully bred and nurtured by the Dragon Master Family, then that wild Dratini wouldn't be necessary.
After all, the mother of that wild Dratini was only a Dragonair, and the father's identity was completely unknown.
In contrast, in the Dragon Master Family, let alone Gym-level Dragonite, there are Elite and Champion-level Dragonite, and more than one.
The two are simply not comparable!
For Dratini, Adrian felt he could make an exception and teach once.
Anyway, as long as he was careful and taught in a secluded place, Clair shouldn't discover the existence of the TM.
After speaking, Adrian looked at Clair with a slight blush.
After all, just to teach one skill, he was asking for a pseudo-legendary infant pokémon.
Even though Adrian himself had a thick skin like a city wall, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
As expected, Clair immediately shook her head after hearing this, saying, "Dratini is a pokémon that matures late, and their numbers are very scarce; the whereabouts of each one must be reviewed by the family elders, and I cannot act on my own."
"However, I can report to the elders, but the difficulty is still very high."
Clair didn't completely shut down the idea, indicating that it could be attempted, but the hope might not be great.
"Then I want to go to the Dragon Sanctuary to train.
Of course, if I can learn your Dragon Master Family's secret move techniques, that would be even better."
Adrian immediately took a step back, switching to a relatively simpler request.
The bottom line is that flexible!!!
"You actually know about the Dragon Sanctuary?"
Clair looked surprised.
The Dragon Sanctuary is a sacred dragon land guarded by the Dragon Master Family, where many dragon-type pokémon or pokémon with dragon bloodlines live, but few outsiders know about it.
Yet, Adrian, a newcomer trainer from humble beginnings, actually knew about it?
"This kid has quite a few secrets about him."
Clair scrutinized Adrian, her eyes flickering.
"I've heard rumors! I've heard rumors!"
Adrian quickly played it off.
"Pika~"
The Pichu on Adrian's shoulder also cried out, trying to help its trainer bluff its way through.
Fortunately, Clair didn't dwell too much on this matter, because although the Dragon Sanctuary is a sacred dragon land, it is not a place absolutely forbidden to outsiders.
If Adrian wanted to go there to train, she could agree to it herself.
As for the secret move techniques, as long as they weren't core family secrets, it wouldn't be a big deal for Clair to teach one or two.
"I can directly agree to your condition."
Clair thought for a moment and said, "If you can successfully teach my Magikarp the 'Bounce' skill, I, Clair, will not break my word.
Not only will I let you enter the Dragon Sanctuary, but I can also apply to the family to teach your Gyarados the 'Dragon Dance' move secret technique."
"That's great!"
Adrian laughed heartily.
Dragon Dance, also known as 'Dragon Dance', is a strengthening divine skill for dragon-type pokémon that can simultaneously boost attack and speed.
Once strengthened, sweeping the team is not far off.
But what Clair didn't know was that Adrian's true purpose in proposing to go to the Dragon Sanctuary to study was not to study, but to fish.
As long as a dragon-type pokémon bites, Dragon Dance or anything else, isn't that just a matter of having hands?
As long as he caught a few more Gyarados, Dratini, Dragonair, and Kingdra, let alone Dragon Dance, he was confident in getting Draco Meteor and Outrage too.
Of course, the Dragon Master Family's secret move techniques contain the wisdom of their family's millennia, and their application must have extraordinary aspects.
It would be even better if Adrian could get them.
"Alright, then it's a deal."
Clair extended her hand and shook Adrian's, and the deal was thus reached.
"Since that's the case, we can be considered friends."
Withdrawing her hand, Clair played with the whip in her hand and pouted, "Then you should accept my friend request first!"
"Huh???"
Adrian looked utterly bewildered.
