Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Lowell can be said to have grown up surrounded by Pokémon since childhood. Of course, this is not unusual or special in this world, mainly referring to Lowell's mother.

...Rowe, ever since he was little, has been unable to resist Pokémon.

This is actually easy to understand. Luo Wei is a time traveler and a Pokémon player. Naturally, he was overjoyed to learn that he had traveled to the Pokémon world.

Ever since he could walk, he has been inseparable from his father's Pokémon. By the age of four, he had already completed all the theoretical studies at the Pokémon Academy, and by the age of six, he was already able to skillfully command his father's Pokémon to battle against wild Pokémon.

After all, the so-called theoretical knowledge in Pokémon Academy is common sense for series fans, not to mention basic battles.

Therefore, after the test, Professor Birch, a close friend of Rowe, fully recognized Rowe's talent as a trainer. So he made a special report to the Pokémon League, and the League readily approved his application, making an exception and allowing Rowe to get his own partner Pokémon at the age of six.

After all, the League values ​​a trainer with obvious talent, as talent should be discovered and nurtured as early as possible.

For the next few years, Professor Birch and the Loew family frequently visited each other, until the Hoenn League assigned a major project to the Pokémon Research Institute in Last White Town, specifically requesting Professor Birch to participate in and lead it. So Professor Birch moved to Last White Town.

That was three years ago...

When it comes to Professor Tomato, Rowe remembers him as a very talkative and kind middle-aged man, and at the same time, a spirited figure also comes to mind.

"Hehe, speaking of which, it's been three years since Luo Wei last saw Xiao Yao, hasn't it?"

"Ahem, why did you suddenly bring up Haruka?"

Hearing his mother's pointed sarcasm, Luo Wei couldn't help but cough twice.

The Haruka mentioned by her mother is Professor Birch's daughter. After all, the two families are so close that they visit each other every few days. Luo Wei and Haruka have also grown up together since they were little, so they can be considered childhood sweethearts.

However, Rowe didn't have a very deep impression of May... Compared to this so-called childhood friend, Rowe had always preferred being with Pokémon.

For this reason, she has been criticized by her own mother quite a bit. In her mother's eyes, she has grown up together since childhood, the two families have a good relationship, and the age is right, so she is definitely a prospective daughter-in-law.

However, her son just wouldn't get it and kept chasing after Pokémon all day long. Whenever she thought about this, she couldn't help but pinch Qianli's thigh.

"You raised such a fine son. You two are truly related; you have the same flaw..."

"what?"

To this day, Luo Wei clearly remembers the bewildered look on his father's face, a look he was known as a "tough guy," when he stood before his mother...

As a genius elite trainer, Senri is also known as "the man born for Pokémon," and since childhood, nothing else has been in his eyes but Pokémon...

God knows how many of his colleagues were shocked when he got married, thinking he'd been scammed.

As a result, Luo Wei's temperament is now exactly the same as his father's. Whenever she thinks about this, Luo Wei's mother can only smile helplessly and hope that her son will "come to his senses" soon.

"Alright, alright, go say hello to Professor Birch, and don't forget to say hello to Haruka too, go on~"

"Yes~"

Luo Wei agreed and then called to Xin Ye Miao to run quickly out of the house.

Watching Luo Wei's departing figure, the mother remained silent for two seconds, then looked back at the corner of the living room, where the only unopened suitcase lay, her face seemingly lost in thought.

"Finally, Lowe has reached this age too..."

New author, new book (?), if you, dear readers, find it acceptable, I would appreciate it if you could add it to your favorites and recommend it. That's all~

Chapter Four: I've chosen you!

——Hoenn Region - Route 101——

Loew and Meowth visited the Pokémon Research Lab, but did not meet Professor Birch. They learned from the lab staff that Professor Birch had gone to Route 101 for field research...

"Dr. Otamaki isn't at the research institute. He's not the type to sit still; he's a complete pragmatist!"

Recalling the researcher's helpless words, Luo Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud. He figured that the people in the research institute must have a lot of headaches dealing with this practical PhD.

As Luo Wei went through the plot in his mind, he ventured deeper into Route 101. Although it was a road close to a town, there were already quite a few wild Pokémon. He could encounter wild Pokémon suddenly jumping out from the roadside bushes.

However, most of these roadside Pokémon are Flying or Bug types, that is, Bird and Bug types, which are generally not aggressive and will usually avoid humans.

Of course, there are exceptions. As a domesticated bird, the finless jay has an extremely irritable temperament. In contrast, the tigress that Rowe encountered on the roadside... will basically not attack people unless you provoke it.

As he drove deeper into Highway 101, Luo Wei silently counted in his mind...

Almost done, right?

The moment that thought crossed his mind, a middle-aged man's urgent cry for help came from the bushes deep in the road...

"go!"

Luo Wei immediately rushed towards the direction from which the sound came. He pushed through the bushes and saw a middle-aged man being chased around by several wolfhounds.

This middle-aged man, wearing shorts, a vest, and a long coat, with a thick stubble, is the kind of middle-aged uncle you see everywhere on the street.

However, he didn't have the beer belly of a greasy middle-aged man. Below his broad shoulders were solid muscle contours, his skin was tanned dark and rugged, and his hands and feet had large joints, clearly the physique he had developed from frequent mountain climbing and wading.

However, even with a physique that is considered quite robust by human standards, it is still meaningless when facing a rampaging wild Pokémon.

Luo Wei couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Uncle, you're supposed to be a respectable, hands-on Pokémon professor. How come you got chased so badly by three or five level 5 Poliwags just for going out? How do you usually manage when you're doing field research?"

That's right, the rather disheveled uncle being chased is none other than Professor Birch, whom Luo Wei is looking for. However, this familiar scene before him only fueled Luo Wei's urge to make sarcastic remarks.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

I didn't think much of it in the game, but it's really ridiculous in real life. It would be understandable if it were a new trainer, but why would a Pokémon professor be chased so badly by a Poliwag?

Besides, Dr. Tombo isn't the kind of academic who just reads books and never goes out into the world. He's a practical person. With this level of expertise... how exactly does he manage to go to all sorts of dangerous places for field research?

Although he really wanted to complain, Luo Wei was quick to act.

Over there, Professor Birch was being chased around in circles by a wolfhound when he suddenly saw someone jump out of the bushes, and his spirits immediately lifted.

But when he saw that the person who came seemed to be a child of about ten years old, his heart sank again. If it were a trainer, he would be saved, but why did it have to be a student who looked like he hadn't graduated from the academy yet?

But why does this boy look so familiar?

Before Dr. Birch could even speak, Lowe was already cracking his knuckles and pointing with an imposing gesture.

"I choose you... Shin-chan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the kitten, which had been yawning nonchalantly at Rowe's feet, suddenly darted out in a flash.

"New Leaf Meow?"

Professor Birch suddenly remembered something. After all, there were no wild populations of Newleaf Cat in the Hoenn region, so they must have come from other regions.

Combined with the boy's familiar appearance, Dr. Birch immediately recognized Rowe.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei was already fully in the zone. With a shout, Xin Ye Miao, who had been lazy, charged towards the pack of wolfhounds with renewed vigor.

These coyotes probably didn't expect to be provoked, and immediately abandoned Professor Birch, turning to surround Shin-chan.

Facing an opponent whose numbers far exceeded ours, Xin Ye Miao showed no hesitation or fear. Under Luo Wei's instructions, the distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

...Just as the distance between them was about to shrink to less than a meter, Luo Wei immediately raised his hand and waved...

"Jump!"

The moment Luo Wei uttered that single byte, Xin Ye Miao seemed to understand his command as if she had foreseen it. With a burst of energy from the ground, her slender limbs propelled her nimbly into the air, and at the same time, a flurry of leaves swept up from around her...

The charging wolfhound couldn't stop in time and crashed headfirst into the swirling leaves, its movements momentarily halted...

Meanwhile, Xin Ye Miao gracefully turned in mid-air, her steps light and nimble like an elegant dancer. As she landed gracefully, the little guy quickly pawed at the ground with all four limbs...

From the once plump ball of flesh, sharp claws suddenly sprang out, stirring up the dirt and grass on the ground. The little guy's body once again charged towards the wolfhound like an arrow...

This time, in Dr. Birch's vision, only a "Z"-shaped bluish-green afterimage remained as it passed through the wolfhounds, followed by a series of sharp claw flashes...

“'Leaves,' 'sharpening claws,' and 'lightning flash' combined with 'scratching'…”

Professor Birch, being a Pokémon professor, recognized the move used by Neoleaf immediately...

The skills themselves are all quite ordinary, but their combination and application are quite ingenious. The leaves are used to confuse the opponent's movements, then the sharpening claws are used to increase attack and accuracy, and finally the high-speed maneuver of the lightning flash is used in conjunction with the grab to create a beautiful pursuit...

The entire offensive was executed flawlessly. The pack of wolfhounds let out a mournful howl and flew off in all directions, their foreheads completely bald. Clearly, they had been shaved into a bald patch by New Leaf Cat's claws in that instant.

It might not cause much physical harm, but it was incredibly insulting...

Lowe didn't seem to intend to go too far, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just shaving a bald patch.

Having learned its lesson, the wolfhound clearly understood that it was tough, so it immediately activated its "escape foot" ability and disappeared from Rottweiler's sight in the blink of an eye.

Luo Wei naturally had no intention of chasing after them. Over there, Xin Ye Miao chased away the wolfhound and immediately retracted its claws, transforming back into its previous cute and adorable pet cat form in a second, as if the ruthless hunter who had just accurately pursued its prey was merely an illusion.

She ran briskly to the side of Luo Wei's trouser leg, looked up with a "come praise me" expression, and Luo Wei smiled and reached out to scratch the little one's chin.

"Wow, amazing, amazing!"

Looking at his relaxed and calm demeanor, Dr. Birch seemed to see a familiar figure in Rowe, the image of his friend.

"Qianli... your son is truly remarkable..."

After muttering this to himself in a low voice, Dr. Birch coughed before stepping forward to speak.

"Um, cough cough... it's been a long time, Luo Wei..."

Chapter Five: While parents are alive, one should not travel far?

Professor Tomato's expression was clearly somewhat embarrassed...

...Luo Wei had informed him before moving here, so seeing Luo Wei wasn't surprising.

However, the reunion after three years turned out to be such an awkward scene, which naturally made Professor Birch, the Pokémon professor, feel a little overwhelmed.

"Ahem, this... was an accident!" He coughed lightly twice, then gestured to his backpack that had been tossed aside. "...My Pokémon are all in that bag, it really was an accident."

Despite his efforts to make amends for his blunder, to be honest, his argument was not very convincing. You're a Pokémon professor, it's one thing to keep Poké Balls in your bag all the time, but how can you lose your bag at a crucial moment? Are you Doraemon?
