An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 201 Jynx - Unova Form (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Suddenly, a dark-skinned, middle-aged woman-like figure rose up from the ground in the crowd!

Her muscular physique gleamed under the sweat and dust, her tousled, curly hair defied gravity, and her thick lips trembled violently with anger.

She threw down the sleeper, which was thicker than her waist, and looked around at her fellow laborers who were numb like walking corpses. Her chest heaved violently, and she let out a roar filled with blood and tears.

"Enough! That's enough! Brothers and sisters, we've had enough!"

Her voice, like a dull drumbeat, struck every soul that had lost all hope.

"Now, everyone, stand up immediately! We are not elves to be bossed around; we are human beings with human rights and dignity! We have crossed oceans to come here in pursuit of freedom and dreams, not to crawl to our deaths on these filthy railway tracks! We can no longer be enslaved!"

This powerful speech, with its accusations and outcry, is no less powerful than Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech!
The deathly pale eyes of the surrounding laborers seemed to be ignited by a spark, instantly sparking a flame of resistance.

Long-suppressed humiliation and the instinct for survival were ignited. They let out low growls, struggling to shake off the heavy burden on their shoulders, like a herd of beasts awakened, rising up to break free from these invisible shackles and rush towards the legendary free shore of the stars and the sea!

Seeing the dark-skinned old woman who looked like she had jumped out of the Pokémon encyclopedia, Mo Zhen quietly turned his head and whispered to Xiao Mengzi, who was floating next to his head.

"Hey, I'm saying... that thing shouldn't be Jynx, right? I've heard that Jynx can talk..."

Xiaomengzi stared intently at the dark-skinned woman who was giving a declaration of freedom, her red, beady eyes fixed on her, and asked uncertainly.

Uh... I don't think so, right? I've lived all these years and I've never seen a talking Jynx... But... the resemblance between her and the Jynx is indeed over 95%...

Seeing that the cattle and horses around him had been incited to riot, the electric monster in charge of overseeing the work was furious.

Its strong arm, crackling with dangerous arcs like an electric baton, was raised high and slammed down hard on the head of the dark-skinned old woman who was trying to boost morale!
However, a fierce glint flashed in the dark-skinned woman's eyes!
With an astonishing agility completely disproportionate to her robust physique, she bent down, grabbed the heavy sleeper she had just thrown on the ground, and swung it fiercely!

"Eat my human weight and strike!"

With a dull thud, the electric monster was swept away, flying through the air in a graceful parabola like a baseball that had been hit.

Its body crashed into a pile of sleepers in the distance, twitched twice, and it immediately lost its ability to fight!

"Great!!!" "Well done!!" "Amazing!!"

The surrounding workers were stunned at first, then burst into thunderous cheers!
The pent-up frustration that had been building up for so long was finally released!

Xiao Hao, who had been lying on the ground like an ostrich, became even more excited, jumping three feet high like a rocket. Like a real trainer, he started gesturing and pointing at the dark-skinned aunt, his tone as if he were directing a mythical beast he had found by the roadside.

"Good! That's how it should be! No, that's the only way! Sister Hypnotic! Well done! Use [Mount Tai Press] again! Stomp it to death!"

His smug, self-satisfied behavior, coupled with his disgraceful act of giving orders, left Mo Zhen and Xiao Mengzi speechless, their eyes conveying a sense of "this idiot is hopeless."

At the same time, Mo Zhen stroked his chin, looking at the figure that stood like a god of war with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and whispered to Xiao Mengzi.

"I mean... is it possible that... Jynx actually has a special, talking form from the Unova region that isn't listed in the Pokédex? Maybe it's even a Fighting-type Pokémon?"

Xiao Mengzi also fell into deep self-doubt, her beady eyes blinking frantically.

【I...I don't know! Theoretically speaking...it's possible for ordinary Pokémon to break through their species' limits and learn to talk! I've seen a talking Meowth before...】

Just as many workers were weeping with joy, as if they could see the Statue of Liberty beckoning to them, an arrogant voice poured down like ice water, instantly freezing the enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Hey! What are you lowly pigs up to?! Are you all tired of living?! You dare to incite a rebellion?! All of you, get back to work!"

That voice... sounds familiar?

Mo Zhen raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction of the sound.

Good heavens! The speaker was none other than Newts, who had bought the stowaways from smuggler Dick at the smuggling dock!

At that moment, he arrived with a group of fierce-looking thugs, each carrying a Poké Ball.

Upon seeing Newts and his pack of vicious dogs, the workers, who had just been filled with fervor, fell silent like chickens with their necks choked.

Fear, like an icy tide, overwhelmed them once more; many of them were trembling in their legs, and the flames of resistance that had just been ignited were extinguished in an instant.

Only the dark-skinned woman showed no fear. She stepped forward, standing like a solid wall in front of everyone, glaring at Newts with a loud and powerful voice.

"You heartless, bloodthirsty corporations that suck our very bones! You greedy capitalist parasites! Don't even think about enslaving us with lies and violence! We are not your private property! We are born as human beings and enjoy inalienable freedom and dignity! Your trampling on human rights will surely be judged by justice!"

Her declaration was powerful and resounding, filled with the most basic anger of the underprivileged and their yearning for fundamental rights.

However, she was met with even more unrestrained and shrill laughter from Newz.

He spoke as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, his tone filled with naked contempt and mockery.

"Human rights?! Dignity?! Hahaha! This is hilarious! You really think you're human? You undocumented people! In the great laws of the United States, you're just a bunch of talking wild animals! No different from the rats and pickpocket cats scurrying around on the street."

"Only citizens with the noble citizenship of our Union can be considered real human beings! Understand?! Freedom and dreams are just gimmicks to lure you bunch of good-for-nothings into becoming laborers! A bunch of lowly beasts want to cause trouble? Suppress them severely!"

At his command, the thugs around him revealed cruel smiles and pulled out Poké Balls.

Amidst flashes of red light, ferocious spirits were released.

A snarling wolfhound, a fierce leopard, a muscular old construction worker...

They let out threatening growls and pounced on the dark-skinned old woman who was standing alone in front of them like vicious wolves!
Despite her bravery in the face of the mob attack, the dark-skinned woman wielded a wooden sleeper to fight back, knocking away a leopard and forcing back a large wolfhound, but ultimately, she was no match for the overwhelming force.

The old construction worker's heavy cement pillar slammed down on the sleepers she was using as a makeshift barrier, the impact sending a shiver down her spine; the leopard's sharp claws left bloody scratches on her arm as she dodged; the large wolfhound seized an opening and bit her calf...

She roared and struggled desperately, but she was clearly outnumbered and forced to retreat repeatedly by the onslaught. She quickly sustained several wounds and her situation became extremely precarious!

Seeing the situation deteriorate rapidly, the laborers who had just hoped that "Sister Mystic Lips" would lead them to freedom had their pitiful courage instantly swallowed up by fear.

Amidst the thugs' fierce gazes and the elves' roars, they scrambled back to their workstations, numbly hoisting heavy sleepers and continuing their oxen-like crawling.

While everyone else cowered like cowards, only one man stepped forward!

At that moment, Xiao Hao let out a hoarse scream and roared loudly.

"Mo Zhen! Help me! This Lady of the Frosty Lips is useless! She can't hold on at all! Why aren't you doing anything?! Why are you just standing there watching?! I... I'm the man who's going to tame the Dream!! How can I fall here?!"

His howling screams were like a searchlight in the dark, instantly drawing Newz and the others' attention to Mo Zhen!

Newz had been so focused on suppressing the riot that he hadn't paid much attention to the crowd, but now, following the sound, he looked closely...

"Ho-"

Newz's sinister smile froze instantly, and he gasped sharply!
"Damn it! Isn't that the superhuman who can stop bullets with his bare hands?!" He pointed at Mo Zhen, his fingers trembling like he had Parkinson's, and screamed incoherently at his subordinates.

"Quick! You guys! Hold him off! Don't let him get any closer! I...I'll go report to the supervisor right away and get reinforcements!!"

After shouting, Newz ran for his life towards the construction site office without looking back, at a speed comparable to using hypersonic movement!
When the thugs saw that their boss had run away in such a state of fear, they realized that the man in the red suit was definitely a tough nut to crack!
They exchanged a glance, and in perfect unison, shouted to their elves, "You lot! Hold him off!" while simultaneously taking off after Newz.

In the blink of an eye, the thugs who had been so aggressive just moments before vanished, leaving behind only a group of bewildered elves and the dark-skinned old woman still fighting.

After a brief moment of silence, the workers erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers upon witnessing this dramatic scene!
The Statue of Liberty seems to be beckoning to them again!

Having withstood a round of attacks, the dark-skinned woman, though bruised and battered, still exuded an indomitable spirit, glanced at Mo Zhen in surprise.

She never expected that this seemingly scholarly young man in a red suit could scare Newz and his gang of thugs so badly that they would run away in terror just by showing his face!
She walked over with heavy steps, revealing a sincere yet respectful smile, and introduced herself in a loud voice.

“Sir, you…you actually managed to scare these thugs away! That’s amazing! My name is Aloe, from Africa! And you are?”

As she spoke, she extended her large, calloused hand to Mo Zhen.

"Aloe vera?!"

Upon hearing this name, Mo Zhen and Xiao Mengzi exclaimed almost simultaneously!
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with the shock of "WTF!"

Mo Zhen suddenly realized what had happened, as if struck by lightning!
"Huh?! Aloe! Isn't that... isn't that the fossil-obsessed gym owner of Shippo Gym?!"

He was so stunned that he didn't even recognize the other person!
The difference between this real person and the anime character in the game is just too damn huge!

The archaeologist in the game, who wasn't exactly a beauty but was at least a capable and efficient one, has turned into... uh... a pucker-lipped woman with a different hairstyle and outfit in real life?!
It seems the game has overly romanticized the Aloe Vera Pavilion owner's appearance...

Mo Zhen coughed subconsciously to cover up his embarrassment and the turmoil in his heart, and secretly turned his head to mutter to Xiao Mengzi.

"Ahem, well... Little Dream, I don't mean anything by it, but out of a rigorous scientific attitude and respect for the diversity of the Pokémon world, you'd better bring me your Pokédex!"

To be honest, Mo Zhen, relying on his extensive knowledge, hadn't used this function in a long time.

However, today's situation is quite special, and even he has to be cautious.

After learning that the other party's true identity was the owner of the Qibao Dojo, Xiaomengzi's previous doubts vanished instantly, and she immediately patted her chest and guaranteed it.

【Ha! Lord Mo Zhen, you're too funny! She's Aloe, the legitimate Gym Leader of Shippo Dojo! Human! Pure human! League certified! How could she possibly be some Jynx?! But since it's your order, I'll check for you...】

With that, it confidently gathered its dream energy and activated the [Elf Encyclopedia] function towards the aloe vera lady who was reaching out to shake hands with Mo Zhen!
A barely perceptible pink halo swept across the aloe vera.

drop--

A semi-transparent data panel, visible only to Mo Zhen and Xiao Mengzi, was clearly visible next to the aloe vera.

Upon seeing the information displayed in the encyclopedia, Mo Zhen's expression instantly froze!
He seemed to have been paused, his eyes wide open like saucers, filled with disbelief.

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!

Is this...is this some kind of hellish joke?!
Immediately afterward, Mo Zhen, who had just come to his senses, looked extremely solemn. Without saying a word, he turned around and delivered an invincible bullet punch to the head of Xiao Mengzi, who had just been making promises!

【Oh my god, oh ...

The punch was powerful and heavy, causing Xiaomengzi to scream and tumble several times in the air!
Mo Zhen roared in a serious tone, emanating an aura of absolute righteousness.

"Damn it! Is your Pokédex short-circuited from water damage?! What time is it now?! Can you be serious for once?! This is a serious segment, is this the time for such hellish jokes?! Rescan! Now!"

Xiao Mengzi was so badly beaten that she saw stars and began to seriously doubt whether there was some kind of huge bug in her "Elf Encyclopedia" function.

It dared not be negligent, and quickly gathered its energy again, carefully sweeping it over the aloe vera once more.

drop--

As a result... the semi-transparent data panel remained completely unchanged!

It's still the same [Race: Jynx - Unova Form], and it still has that unique set of skill descriptions!
"Pfft...hahahaha!"

Mo Zhen finally couldn't hold back anymore!
He suddenly covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking wildly, and he almost burst out laughing on the spot!
He never imagined that the world could be this crazy!

In real life, people only dare to tell these things secretly as jokes, but here they're not even hiding them; they're presented as facts. This is truly a realistic Pokémon world—it's so damn real!

Xiao Mengzi stared blankly at the Pokémon encyclopedia, her beady eyes wide open, as if she were seeing the truth of the world for the first time.

【Huh... I didn't know that was possible? Jynx really does have an Unova form! I didn't even know Pokémon could be Gym Leaders...】

Just then, a woman's voice, full of intellectual charm, rang out from behind Mo Zhen.

"Hehe, you've finally seen it, Mo Zhen? This is what I've been wanting to tell you. Now you should believe in my academic research findings, right?"
