The Pokémon Center in Lumiose City.

Almost there~~

Almost Doll greeted Jing He sweetly as she entered the Pokémon Center.

In the Kalos region, Nurse Joy's companion Pokémon are no longer Chansey or Blissey, but Jigglypuff and Nearskill.

In fact, the Pokémon Centers in the Unova region mainly feature Cointosh, while the Pokémon Centers in the Kalos region mostly feature Jigglypuff.

But there were also surprises.

For example, this Pokémon Center right in front of us.

Almost-Doll is a hearing Pokémon, a Normal-type Pokémon, and a very kind-hearted Pokémon.

It has a keen hearing, capable of detecting even the slightest sounds like radar.

They can understand each other's physical condition and mood by gently touching each other's ears and listening to each other's heartbeats.

They can even know exactly when a Pokémon hatches from its egg.

It is a Pokémon that is very suitable for healing and rescue, and it has a natural love for helping others.

"Genga~~(^^)" Seeing this, Gengar quickly waved its hand as well.

It looked almost like a doll, with rosy cheeks, shyly turned its toes inward, and tilted its head slightly, giving Gengar a sunny smile.

"It likes you all very much, Teacher Jinghe," Miss Joey explained with a smile.

"Haha." Jing He chuckled, "It liked it too soon."

Jinghe was no longer surprised that Joey knew her.

even.

He got used to Miss Joey's requests for autographs and photos.

I reckon the Joey family probably also has a "loving family" group chat.

"Miss Joy, I'll leave Gengar to you."

Although Gengar indicated it was in good condition during its first attempt at Mega Evolution, Jinghe decided to bring it for a simple check-up just to be on the safe side.

and.

He preferred living at the Fairy Center to living in Dr. Blatano's research institute.

For nothing else.

He feared that when he woke up the next morning, the Pokémon at Dr. Blatano's lab would have experienced something terrible.

"Ok."

Gengar obediently followed Nurse Joy and crawled into a machine.

Almost there~

"Thank you."

When Jinghe received the coffee from the doll, she quickly thanked her.

"Is Teacher Jinghe here in the Carlos region to challenge the Carlos Alliance?" Miss Joey suddenly asked.

"Uh, no, it's just that there's an ice sculpture competition I'd like to try participating in."

Jing He looked embarrassed.

I'm not Ash Ketchum, who has to challenge the local league every time he goes to a new place, and I'm not going to catch and train Pokémon from scratch.

"Oh, it's the ice sculpture competition in Yingxue City."

The two chatted casually for a while.

The news started playing on the television next to us.

As the representative of the Vladari Institute, Vladari, dressed in black with a magnificent fire lion lying beside him, announced during an interview with reporters:

"The latest achievement from the Vladali Institute, a holographic communication device, will be unveiled soon."

The person interviewing him was none other than Pachira, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region and a news anchor/reporter.

“Mr. Vladali has changed a lot, but he’s a very kind person,” Miss Joey said.

As Nurse Joy of the Pokémon Center, she had witnessed firsthand the aid that the Lyddari provided to the poor and Pokémon.

Is it kind?
Jing He smiled but didn't reply.

It's not just appearances that have changed a lot.

but.

Miss Joey's words also stirred something within Jing He.

Vladali became extreme because some people took his help for granted, and not only did they not receive the aid, but they also craved more.

These people showed Vladali the "ugliness" of this world.

But it cannot be denied that there are many more people and many more Pokémon who are genuinely grateful to him and admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

Take Miss Joey, for example.

Vladali, however, got himself into a self-imposed dead end, which can be attributed to a different kind of "survivorship bias".

perhaps
This could be a good starting point if he faces Vladali in the future.

"A holographic communication device?" Jing He murmured.

He recalled that when the Vladali Institute launched the holographic communication device, it meant that Vladali was preparing to use its "ultimate weapon".

"Teacher Jinghe, the check is complete."

Miss Joey's words interrupted Jinghe's thoughts.

She smiled and said:

"Gengar has been trained exceptionally well; its stats far exceed the Gengar data recorded in our system."

A hint of surprise crossed his eyes.

As expected of Teacher Jinghe, this is the best Gengar she has ever trained.

It can't even be described as excellent.

"Genga~!"

Gengar stood in front of him with its hands on its hips, looking like it said, "See, I told you it was nothing."

But then Miss Joey continued:

"However, it is a little weak, probably because it has consumed too much energy. It would be best if it could rest for a day."

"Okay, thank you." Jing He glanced at Gengar and thanked Miss Joy.

Did you hear me? You need to rest!
"Genga."

Gengar scratched his head.

It clearly felt great about itself, and even planned to dominate the "underworld" of Miare City tonight.

Jing He's expression darkened. "The underworld, my foot! If you don't go, there's no such thing as the 'underworld.'"

The next day.

Jinghe woke up to the familiar Gengar's tongue licking him.

Instead of being speechless, he was somewhat surprised as he munched on the "cherry".

Could Mega Evolution be the shackle that restricts Gengar?
It didn't run out last night, so it had the energy to wake itself up this morning.

"Genga~~"

After a night's rest, the energetic Gengar woke up Jinghe and then hovered in mid-air with its legs crossed, browsing the "Scroll of Water".

After recovering from eating the "cherry fruit", Jinghe took Xiao Liuwei out of the quilt, stroked it vigorously a couple of times, and then got up satisfied.

"Ooh~~"

Little Six-Tail pouted, grooming its fur while muttering something under its breath.

“Koo~~(－ω－) zzZ”

The bear apprentice, with snot bubbles hanging from his nose and snoring, was doing push-ups on the floor.

"Haklong, wake up your apprentice Xiong, wash up and we're going out."

"I'm going into the bathroom," Jinghe said.

"Roar~~"

Shila-

A few flashes of electricity appeared, and with a "pop," a snot bubble burst. The bewildered apprentice trembled slightly as he rubbed his eyes.

"Ku?"

Where are we sending troops today?

Gengar stuffed the "Water Scroll" into its belly, landed, and patted its bear apprentice on the shoulder.

"Genga~!"

After washing up, let's go have breakfast!

The bear apprentice's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a rounded back motion, clenching his fists, his thick eyebrows and big eyes blazing with fire.

"Ku~ku~!"

Understood! An army marches on its stomach!
"Chirp~~"

The master blacksmith, with his shuffling steps, ostentatiously handed Jing He a brand-new pair of light gold monocles without lenses.

Jinghe's eyes lit up slightly after she finished washing up.

"As expected of a master blacksmith."

Despite the hammer being so big, it can forge such exquisite and delicate items.

The master blacksmith rubbed his nose.

"Cha, cha~~(*≧≦*)"

It's alright~~
Normally, monocles do not have temples because they are worn by clamping them between the upper eye socket and facial muscles.

But wearing them like that would be too tiring.

Therefore, the monocles that the master blacksmith made for Jinghe not only had temples but also nose pads, and there was a thin gold chain at the junction of the temples and the frame, which was a non-slip chain.

There is a circular groove at the end of the anti-skid chain, which can be perfectly inserted into the key stone. Then, put it in the inner pocket of your clothes and you can carry it perfectly.

Then change into a black casual suit, and that's all.

It is clearly a perfect match for the local customs and culture of the Carlos region.

It would be even more suitable if paired with a walking stick.

But a walking stick is nowhere near as comfortable as holding Little Six-Tail, so Jinghe decisively gave up.

Wearing light gold monocles, Jing He, who already had a scholarly air about him as a teacher, looked even more refined.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Jing He murmured:

"He's the epitome of a refined scoundrel."

We had breakfast at the Elf Center.

Under the watchful gaze of Miss Joy, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, Jinghe walked out of the Pokémon Center.

They then went to a nearby café, ordered two coffees, and waited for Dr. Blatano.

When Dr. Blatano saw Jing He's outfit, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I couldn't help but sigh:

"It really suits you, Jinghe."

I've had coffee.

Bratano then took Jinghe to their destination for the day.

A manor, or rather, a breeding house, located at the easternmost part of Miare City.

According to Dr. Blatano, the manor has a very long history and tradition, and an elderly couple lives there who take in stray or needy Pokémon.

Gradually, a place similar to a nursery was formed.

However, unlike other breeding houses...

They don't sell Pokémon, and most of the Pokémon they breed aren't good at battling.

However, thanks to their guidance, many Pokémon have acquired some life skills to varying degrees.

For example, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, making coffee and desserts, etc.

So it's not just in Miare, but many cafes in the Carlos area try to recruit "employees" here.

At the same time, this estate is also known as the "coffee estate".

There are also many cocoa and coffee trees planted there.

However, the elderly couple had very high requirements for the people who came to recruit them.

Not everyone who comes will hand over the Pokémon they consider family.

At the Burratano Pokémon Lab, many of the Pokémon responsible for daily cleaning and greeting guests come from there.

quickly.

The taxi was parked outside a huge manor.

At the entrance, a loyal servant was already standing obediently, waiting for them.

"Ai-yi~~"
