Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"Haha, this is quite interesting. How about I join?"

Luo Wei looked closely and saw that it was Teng Shu, who had also come ashore. He waved the frisbee in his hand and gestured to the strongman and iron-palm warrior beside him.

"...Let's split into teams and have a competition!"

Chapter 73 Moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, excessive exercise attracts...

The flying disc was caught by a vine that had just landed on the shore; he also seemed very interested in Rowe's "game."

"Haha, how about I join? Let's split into two teams and have a competition!"

Although Luo Wei didn't know why the situation had suddenly changed like this, it seemed that Masked Cat and the others were quite interested, so Luo Wei readily agreed.

"Okay, then please guide me~"

As they spoke, a crowd of onlookers gathered around, seemingly quite interested in the "competition."

Since it's not a proper gym battle, but just a game similar to beach volleyball, there aren't many rules governing the battles.

The onlookers seemed quite interested in the outcome of the match, and several immediately asked questions.

"Can we join us, Mr. Tengshu?"

"Haha, if Luo Wei doesn't mind, I don't care either~"

Naturally, since they were already so interested, Luo Wei had no objections and immediately nodded in affirmation.

"Of course, please give me your guidance~"

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Wei's side gained two hot bikini-clad women, while Teng Shu's side selected two equally tanned young men in swim trunks.

Luo Wei had no idea why the teams had split up like this, and he didn't bother to choose teammates. However, Teng Shu immediately picked out the two muscular men from among a bunch of bikini-clad women.

...Luo Wei once again felt the weight of those words.

Moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise attracts the same sex!

As for Luo Wei, it's probably because his face is indeed quite handsome, and being a young twelve-year-old boy, he might be very attractive to older women who like cute boys.

Anyway, this is how the grouping ended up...

"...Haha, please guide me, little brother~"

"Ah, nice to meet you..."

Faced with the two older sisters' clearly pointed teasing, Luo Wei could only bite the bullet and respond, while Masked Meow and Kirlia immediately squeezed in and quickly blocked the view from both sides.

"Heh, they're really on high alert~"

Compared to the previous few who only felt that Lowe had a good relationship with the Pokémon around him, these two bikini-clad ladies, perhaps based on their female intuition or their instinct as fellow "hunters," clearly sensed the sense of rejection emanating from Meowth and Kirlia.

However, they clearly didn't care about that, and with a smile, they each sent out their own Pokémon... Marill and Dewprik...

These are all Pokémon that are quite popular among female players, and they all seem to be trained quite well.

When Luo Wei looked up at the other side again, everything went black. The three strengths, Super Strength, and Arm Strength, stood in a row, each proudly striking a bodybuilding pose. Their overflowing masculine hormones gave them an intimidating presence that made people afraid to approach.

"...Ugh..." Sure enough, the bikini-clad woman next to her covered her mouth, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "I really can't handle that kind of thing, hehe, the little brothers here are much better~"

"...Thank you for the compliment."

Although Luo Wei wasn't sure if this counted as a compliment, if he had a choice, he would actually prefer the enviable physique of the person opposite him.

"Then, let's begin!"

Since there really aren't any rules, it's basically just throwing and catching frisbees; if you miss or go out of bounds, you lose...

Apart from this rule, which is so simple that it has absolutely no balance, everything else is irrelevant.

With a loud "bang," the vine on the opposite side, with its incredible strength, jumped three to five meters high, swung its four arms in a wide arc, and threw the frisbee.

The frisbee was instantly imbued with astonishing kinetic energy in his hands, and with a whooshing sound, it shot over with a "whoosh." Luo Wei even suspected that the thing's current power might be enough to penetrate a wall.

Not to be outdone, Kirlia raised her hand, and a sand curtain rose up from the spot. The flying disc crashed into the sand curtain and shattered it on the spot.

However, this block also reduced the kinetic energy, and the speed of the flying disc was significantly reduced.

"Freeze Ray~"

The older sister gave a command to the white sea lion, which cooperated perfectly, raising its head and spitting out an icy blue ray that froze the incoming disc into a lump, before sending it flying back.

"...Break the tile!"

Not to be outdone, the young man in swim trunks over there, under his command, swung his wrist and cleaved the ice into pieces with a single blow, then sent it flying back.

"Water jet!"

Marill retaliated immediately, and Rowe quickly made a hand gesture to his partner. Masked Meow raised his hand and waved a leaf, while Kirlia activated Shadow Clone Jutsu. In an instant, the entire field was filled with frisbees and leaves.

"Oops!"

The young man in swimming trunks on the other side changed his expression, while Fujiki calmly raised his hand and got into a fighting stance.

"See through... the seismic waves!"

The Iron Palm Warrior raised his right foot high and slammed it into the ground with a standard sumo wrestling stance. After regaining his balance, he raised his iron palm and slammed it down forcefully...

The sand in front of him churned, and a wave of sand shot up more than ten meters high, exploding in mid-air. The shockwave of sand and gravel swept over and blocked all the flying discs.

The immense force stirred the nearby seawater, causing a huge wave to surge up out of nowhere.

"...We can't lose here either, Masked Meow, Kirlia!"

The psychic waves, mixed with the fluttering petals, rushed forward. The spreading psychic power distorted gravity, pulling the tide and simultaneously creating a huge wave. The two surging waves crashed together, shattering into a shower of spray, and seawater splashed up in a magnificent spray...

The trainers watching cheered, this was clearly just a game, but it had turned into a battle as exciting as a gym battle...

The Iron Palm Warrior opened his palms, and a bluish-white "qi" flowed through his body. Luo Wei, also intrigued, raised his clenched fist, and golden light, burning like flames, burst forth from his entire body...

"Huh?"

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that he hadn't actively used the Z Power at all, but had simply triggered the resonance of the Z Crystal unintentionally due to his emotional excitement.

However, since the ultimate power has already been unleashed, it's impossible to hold back halfway. But if Masked Cat were to come, the power might be too strong to handle.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei had a sudden inspiration and directly tried to channel the ultimate power into Kirlia.

Kirlia didn't have a Z-Crystal, and Rowe didn't know if this would work, but there was no harm in trying.

With the infusion of ultimate power, Kirlia was also invigorated, and then her entire body was enveloped in a dazzling light...

"what?"

——————————————————————————————————————

Regarding Eevee's gender... the original design was based on my own shiny male Eevee, but after thinking about it, it does seem to contradict the synopsis and the original intention of writing this book...

...So let's just change it. Refreshing the chapter should fix it. That's all.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Mother's Call~

Can the ultimate power work on Pokémon without Z-Crystals...?

...There's not much to say about this. Although both the Sun and Moon Gods have their own Z-Crystals, they don't really need to use the power of the Crystals to use the Z-Power.

In other words, the Z-Crystal might actually function like a transceiver antenna. The Z-Crystal in the Trainer's hand acts as a key to open a door to another world, attracting the Ultimate Power. Then, the Ultimate Power is guided and infused through the Z-Crystal on the Pokémon, thereby releasing the Z-Move.

In other words, as long as one can achieve these two things through their own abilities, it's the same even without Z-Crystal as an aid. However, it's clear that Rowe is not capable of doing this yet.

He tried to transfer the unexpectedly unleashed ultimate power to Kirlia, and Kirlia, having absorbed the ultimate power, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light.

"what?"

Seeing this, Luo Wei was stunned for a moment. This scene was exactly the same as the evolution scene. However, when the light flashed, Kirlia's appearance changed for a moment, but in the end it still returned to its original appearance.

"..."

It seems that the accumulated experience points are not enough. Although the ultimate power has become a catalyst and guided the power of evolution to a certain extent, Kirlia still failed to evolve with the help of this power.

Of course, there's nothing to regret. Rowe didn't plan for Kirlia to evolve here anyway, since Kirlia still needs to further train her Nen abilities at this stage.

Masked Cat took Rowe six years to evolve, and after being released, its power increased dramatically, making it Rowe's trump card.

Naturally, it's unlikely that the same effort would be put into another Pokémon now. It's probably only Masked Meow, as his first partner, that made Loewon train him with such care.

It's not that we don't care about training other Pokémon, it's just that we can't afford to spend another six years training them.

In the blink of an eye, the frisbee arrived. Rowe quickly focused his attention, raised his hand to signal Masked Cat to chase after it, and unleashed a Thousand Transformations Frenzy...

………………

…………

……

"Okay, out of bounds!"

After a dozen or so rounds of back-and-forth exchanges, one of the young men in swim trunks on the Fujiki side finally lost control of his strength and accidentally went out of bounds while catching the frisbee.

After all, it was just a simple game at the beginning, and the rules were designed to be very simple. We didn't think too much about it, and there was nothing to care about in terms of winning or losing.

Therefore, the young man in swim trunks on the other side could only helplessly shrug and accept defeat gracefully.

"...Phew, this game is actually quite fun."

Teng Shu picked up the frisbee that had landed on his side and tossed it to Luo Wei with a smile. Luo Wei caught it steadily and nodded affirmatively.

"Although I don't know what the connection is between this game and frisbee in the second half, it doesn't matter. It's just a game; as long as it's fun and everyone who plays it is satisfied, that's all that matters~"

As Luo Wei said, everyone's satisfaction is enough, and there's no need to care about winning or losing. At least Luo Wei's two teammates had a lot of fun.

They promptly exchanged navigator numbers with Luo Wei, which meant Luo Wei gained quite a few more friends in his social circle.

After playing around, Rowe, Meowth, Kirlia, and Eevee got together and dialed their mother's number.

After a brief silence, the call connected, and the navigator's familiar smiling face appeared on screen.

"Lowe? Where are you now?"
