So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 340 Jupiter: Why is this happening? It's the first time I've had someone I like, the first time I've made a good friend.

The restless chirping of cicadas drifted in from afar, drowning out the laughter and playfulness of the students on campus.

A girl with purple hair stood on the playground, looked up at the horizontal bar above her head, bent her knees and jumped up, opened her bandaged hands to grip the bar, kicked her legs forward and swung them, passed the midpoint and pressed down on the bar, turned her head, tucked in her abdomen and rotated her body, looked at the bar and reached out to grab it. After skillfully demonstrating a set of freestyle horizontal bar moves, she landed steadily on the ground amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, raised her chin, and enjoyed the amazement of the crowd.

"As expected of Jupiter, it accomplished what we couldn't do with ease."

Seeing this, several Jiahao were eager to try. They straightened up, grabbed the horizontal bar, bent their arms, and with angry roars, swung around like salted fish in a plastic bag before hanging on it, unable to escape, their faces showing distress.

The shrill, piercing laughter of the girls around them could be heard.

In the distance, under the shade of a tree, Mars sat on a bench, holding a copy of "The Happy Prince" and reading it carefully. It tells the tragic story of a once happy prince who, after being turned into a statue, could not bear to see the people in the city living in misery. He distributed his wealth to others and gave them happiness. In doing so, he lost his magnificent appearance and his significance as a symbol of the city. In the end, the prince's statue was pushed down by the people.

Stripped of its tragic and satirical core, Mars believes the prince is a great man who helps others without seeking gratitude or even being remembered; those he helps are content to simply live happily.

Just like doctors facing sudden situations with patients, inaction means no mistakes and no responsibility, but there will always be someone who chooses to take the risk of making mistakes and do their best to save the patient.

Jupiter glanced at Mars, who seemed oblivious to everyone else, snorted, and turned to look at the teaching building next to it.

Chi Ri lay alone on the rooftop, listening to Carlos's idol Carlos Karni's new song "The Last Kiss" on his headphones. The song tells the story of a fan who wanted to visit Carlos's museum to see a world-famous painting. After buying an expensive ticket from a scalper, he saw a news report that what he wanted to see had been stolen, and he let out a sad and helpless scream at home.

What a terrible song! It's not as good as one of my brother's.

Chi Ri rolled his eyes. These days, as long as you have traffic, any kind of monster or demon can become a hit and make a fortune. Back then, it was called the music scene, and the scene was where gods were worshipped. Now it's called the entertainment circle, and what does that circle support?

He changed to a timeless classic song, and the familiar melody filled his ears.

"You are mine, I am yours, who?"

I felt instantly refreshed and invigorated; this is true music.

He placed his arm over his forehead, shielding his eyes from the lazy summer afternoon sun. In the azure sky, white clouds of varying sizes drifted away, accompanied by the whistling wind. Such a peaceful scene made him unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth. After the attack by the Crystal Chandelure Spirit, the new Third Sinnoh City welcomed its third Mega Pilot, Jupiter from another region.

She is a very capable and assertive girl. When she first arrived, she always had an arrogant look on her face and always tried to do things independently. At the beginning, she caused Akatsuki a lot of trouble. However, after they jointly stopped the Dynamax Excadrill that fell from the sky, Jupiter realized the inadequacy of her own abilities.

An individual's abilities are ultimately limited, and their personality is no longer assertive. Instead, they show a kind of arrogant concern for others. After a heart-to-heart talk that lasted all night, the relationship between Jupiter and the Sun has eased considerably, but the relationship with Mars has worsened.

The battle with Excadrill resulted in varying degrees of damage to the Mega Pokémon of all three Pokémon. Among them, Mega Bandana from Jupiter suffered the most damage, to the point that it had to be sealed away for repair. The higher-ups planned to transfer a new Mega Pokémon from another region to participate in the battle.

Jupiter has not yet agreed because there may be some kind of rift between the new Mega Pokémon and the new pilot, or even that it could cause danger.

In addition, there are official plans to equip Mega Pokémon with an autopilot system to deal with unexpected situations involving the driver, and Mega Pokémon have not launched an attack for a long time.

All three drivers enjoyed a relatively peaceful holiday.

A haughty foreign exchange student, a quiet and reserved girl with no personality traits, if it weren't for the Dynamax Mega Pokémon that could attack at any moment, Akari would wonder if she had stepped into the script of a youth campus romance comedy.

What's next? A handsome and flawless best friend, or a stunningly beautiful girl who suddenly appears out of nowhere?

Immediately afterwards, Chi Ri heard a roar from the sky as a giant white steel bird swept across the clouds, followed by a shout.

"Hey little girl over there, move aside, move aside!"

A shadow appeared above Chi Ri's head, sweeping across his face. Chi Ri looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white cloud appearing in the sky, swirling around like a headless fly. Lines emerged from the cloud, extending downwards to reveal a slender figure that was gradually growing larger.

It was a person dressed in pure white, with a huge, fluffy decoration on their back that resembled the wings of a bluebird. They were frantically pulling on the parachute lines, their mouths agape in terror, as they made a rapid emergency descent from the distant sky toward the location of the blazing sun.

Akari panicked and almost instinctively got up, as if to protect the rooftop from the Mega Victreebel's rapid descent using the "Mount Tai Slam" technique. He rushed to the girl's side, bracing himself with his hands and wide-eyed.

"Bond Field, deploy!" Akari shouted.

However, nothing happened.

There was no transparent stance presented to him.

She forgot that she had broken free from mega; she was just an ordinary student with average grades in sports. The teacher could tell the class average just by glancing at her grades. Right now, she was like a chuunibyou girl who had suddenly fallen ill with an eccentric personality.

The girl in the sky clearly hadn't expected that the blazing sun wouldn't turn and run away, but instead stood there dumbfounded, rushing down below her and striking a cosplay pose.

Jiaxin got up and decisively ripped off the backpack attached to the parachute. What should have been a typical fan service scene was about to unfold.

Cynthia, clad in a calene suit, glared sharply in the sky. She shifted her stance, bent her knees, kicked out, and stomped her foot on the sun's face.

Those who want perks, go to the comments section and wait for the heroes!

Using the momentum, she pushed off, tucked her knees into her arms, and flipped 360 degrees in the air. With her hands outstretched, she landed steadily on the rooftop with the perfect gymnast's stance. Her parachute drifted uncontrollably to one side and got caught on the wire mesh of the rooftop not far away. She glanced at the blazing sun lying face up on the ground, its head spinning, and clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Although it's not unreasonable to offer some perks to other girls while pretending to be a best friend, I still feel uncomfortable on a deeper level: "After all, I still have the label of a widow. If someone knew, they would definitely be jealous. Well, he probably won't get any."

She sighed, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay. When the end comes, everyone will gather around the table and happily eat the dumplings I made."

In his delirium and pain, Chi Ri saw someone, someone very important to him. The person had black hair parted in the middle, wore a black shirt and white overalls, was holding two basketballs, had his back to Chi Ri, and was making strange movements as he walked away into the distance.

When he opened his eyes, Chi Ri realized that he had lost the other person forever and had become her.

Unknown sorrow flows like a river.

"You're awake?"

A head with a flower-shaped hairstyle popped out from behind Chi Ri's head. A smile graced the exquisitely carved face, with an undisguised hint of pleasure at the corners of the mouth: "Are you alright? Do you remember who you are? Say three, two, one, one, two, three, ahhhhhh!"

,

The girl, with the sun blazing in the distance, spotted a cunning pink fox behind her. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Holy crap, round?"

Sigh, what is a circle? Akari often feels strange pieces of knowledge popping into his mind.

Seeing the girl staring blankly with her eyes open and unresponsive, Cynthia panicked, frowning and muttering, "Did I kick her stupid? This won't do. How can we let our business collapse over something so trivial? We have to get rid of her. I wonder if people who die here will simply disappear. Do they know about strong acids in the school's chemistry lab? But I'm not good at science. Maybe we should just bury her somewhere? Anyway, the effects will disappear completely later."

Wow, you even chose to finish off the hit-and-run driver? That's a bit too extreme, isn't it?

Seeing that the other party had begun to search for suitable tools and places to hide the body, Chi Ri panicked. He scrambled to the edge of the rooftop, his fingers gripping the barbed wire behind him, his face filled with terror: "I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Seeing that the scorching sun had reacted, Cynthia glanced at the rusty shovel in her hand, blew on her hair, and sighed, "What a pity."

What are you regretting, you bastard? I'm on the verge of tears.

My mom said beautiful women can lie, but she never said beautiful women can kill. Are you a character who escaped from some apocalyptic movie set where worldly morality has been lost?

As Akari stared at the face in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity. Just then, the intro to "The Last Kiss" started playing in his headphones, and he realized that the person in front of him was Carlos, the famous actor and singer, at least before the second impact. With a big star appearing in front of him, Akari immediately put aside the unpleasantness that had just occurred.

Turning into a fanatical fan, who cares about Brother Kun? He's just a nobody on the street. Don't try to mess with Queen Carlos, you washed-up celebrity!

Overwhelmed with excitement, she asked, "Miss Karuni, could it be that you're filming a new movie?"

Cynthia hadn't expected Karni's identity to be useful in this way, and nodded: "Yes, it was filmed secretly. What we just saw was a scene with no stunt doubles. Don't tell anyone."

She tucked away the parachute that had fallen to the side, casually stuffing it into a corner. She smoothed the wrinkles on her shoulders and the wind-blown hair, then turned and asked, "Hey you over there, isn't there a student named Chi Ri at your school? Do you know him?"

Chi Ri froze. Coming for me? A big star descended upon me? He raised his hand blankly, pointing to his face: "Did you come looking for me?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Akari's words, Cynthia was also stunned. "You're Akari?"

"Yes!" Akari nodded excitedly.

"Ah!" Cynthia slapped her forehead and sighed to the sky. Even she hadn't expected that Akatsuki, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have a fetish for cross-dressing. No wonder he went to the rooftop alone during his lunch break.

She immediately sensed something was wrong, craned her neck, squinted, and carefully examined Chi Ri's slender body, his short-sleeved shirt, his slightly protruding chest, his school uniform skirt, and his slightly thicker calves encased in white stockings. Her expression was complicated.

Although his face is still beyond redemption, judging from his physical condition, he doesn't look like a man dressed as a woman at all.

Could it be that—Cynthia crouched down, hugged her knees, and hopped in front of Akatsuki, lifting her skirt under Akatsuki's puzzled gaze.

He let out a gasp of surprise.

Wow!

"Miss Karuni, what are you doing?!"

With a flushed face, Chi Ri pressed down on her skirt, which had been lifted up. Who lifts up a skirt on the first meeting? Could it be that the big star has this kind of interest in private?

Cynthia's hand hovered in the air, her eyes wide and her expression blank. She was shocked by the Easter egg she had discovered. Akari was not a man dressed as a woman, nor was he a girl named Xiao Nan Niang. He was a real woman. This was Akari's dream, not someone's fantasy. In other words, his self-identification in the dream was that of a woman!

How could a renowned entrepreneur from Sinnoh, the head of Team Galactic, be someone with gender identity disorder?

No wonder he always keeps his heart closed off; he's afraid of being discovered as a feminine being. He thinks about destroying the world and then rebuilding it every day, all to create a world that can accept his fetishes.

too frightening.

Cynthia stood up, put her hands on Akari's shoulders, her eyes filled with pity and care, and said earnestly, "It's okay, Akari. You have to know that the world is diverse and inclusive. Although no two snowflakes in the world are exactly the same, you can always find similar ones. Even in the smallest circle, there will definitely be people who share your ideals."

She should have thought that the new character's debut would inevitably involve conflict and scenes with the main characters. The original script was supposed to have a new female character appear out of nowhere, providing the male lead with much-anticipated fanservice, then maintaining mystery and ambiguity before leaving, waiting for the highlight of the story to come, thus satisfying the fantasies of young male fans who want to date their idols.

Although there was a slight mishap with the script, causing the male lead to be replaced by the female lead, it's unclear whether this was due to Chi Ri's actions or the director's quirky sense of humor.

But Wei Xin actually gave this role to her best friend? Given his personality, how could he—Xirona suddenly realized that at this time, Wei Xin had not yet had any formal contact with Karuni.

That would be wonderful.

Cynthia decided she had to write this down and tell Karni when she got out, so she could punish that unscrupulous script director. But then she changed her mind and crossed it out, turning all the previous densely packed entries into black blobs.

They're all unpayable debts.

"In conclusion, Akari-chan, if you don't want your secret to be discovered, you'd better keep everything that just happened to yourself. Otherwise, hehe," Cynthia said with a wicked grin, raising her chin and gesturing with her hand across her neck. After threatening him, she turned around and opened the wooden door to the rooftop under Akari's puzzled gaze, then turned and walked down the stairs.

"What's going on here?" Chi Ri sighed, looking bewildered. He saw the door, which was about to close, suddenly stop, and a girl pushed it open.

A head of fiery red hair emerged from the doorway. It wasn't some student who was so stressed about studying that they didn't even care about the potential demerit if they jumped off the building. It was Mars. His slender fingers, wrapped in bandages, held a snow-white envelope. He turned his head and glanced at the woman leaving the rooftop with concern, before finally fixing his gaze on Chi Ri.

"Mars, is something wrong?" Seeing the envelope in Mars's hand, Chi Ri felt a little deer jumping around in her heart. She didn't know why this little deer was jumping around. Could it be that she really had that kind of interest?

Mars stepped forward, handed the envelope to Akagi, and solemnly said, "I'm planning to organize a dinner party this weekend. I cooked it myself, and I invited Mr. Pluto, who has already accepted. Here is the invitation. I wonder if you'll be free to attend."

Mars's words made the little deer in Chi Ri's heart die instantly, leaving him feeling lost.

It turned out to be just an invitation.

"Me and my teacher?" Akari recalled the familiar face and his original purpose. He came to this place to become a mega pilot in order to gain his teacher's approval. However, due to various reasons, the two of them had never been able to find an opportunity to communicate properly.

"Yes, I want to do something for you, but I don't know what to do. I see that there's some tension between you two, so—am I taking the liberty of doing this?" Mars asked cautiously.

"No." Chi Ri turned the envelope in his hand over to the back. It had a girl's delicate handwriting on it, and next to it was a small robot drawn in a mess. It was clear that Huo Xing had put a lot of effort into this matter. He even taught himself to cook for this. The band-aid on his hand was an accidental injury while cooking.

Chi Ri, who was being cared for and embraced for the first time, was sincerely grateful to the girl in front of her. Mars was trying to change, from being indifferent to everyone to taking the initiative to contact people. Jupiter was also changing, from being arrogant to being gentle. Now, it was time for her to take a step forward as well.

Chi Ri smiled gently at the girl: "Thank you."

Mars's face lit up with joy, and he invited, "Lunch break is almost over, let's go back to the classroom together."

"Okay, let's go together."

The two walked down the stairs side by side, crossed the corridor, and just as lunch break was about to end, Jupiter was surrounded by his classmates as he went upstairs.

"Jupiter, you're amazing! You're just like a professional athlete. How do you do it?"

"It's nothing!" Praised by her classmates, Jupiter raised her chin and proudly wiped her nose. "If you take a few more PE classes, you'll naturally be able to do as well as me."

"Then we should make sure the PE teacher goes to the hospital less often," a boy joked, and everyone burst into laughter. Then they saw Mars and Chi Ri walk past them side by side. Chi Ri was talking animatedly, while Mars occasionally chimed in with a few words, giving just the right response with a smile.

The harmonious interaction between the two left Jupiter stunned.

"I have a feeling that the relationship between Chi Ri and Huo Xing has been pretty good lately. I heard that Huo Xing even learned to cook specifically for Chi Ri."

A male student muttered to himself, and a girl next to him immediately interrupted him.

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone looked at Jupiter, at the bandage on her hand. A girl who was close to Jupiter asked, "Jupiter, are you alright?"

Jupiter realized what was happening, shook her head violently, and said in a louder voice, "It's nothing, of course I'm fine. It's fine as long as they get along, what does it have to do with me? What could possibly happen to me?"

The series of question marks revealed the turmoil in Jupiter's heart to everyone. The thoughts of a teenage girl are always easy to guess. After that, everyone chose to keep quiet about the matter. During breaks, the occasional chat between Chiri and Huoxing made Jupiter feel uneasy.

Even the praise, encouragement, and jokes from classmates became tasteless.

Jupiter looked at the Sun and Mars, fiddling with the bandage on her hand. The tiny cut had already healed, and an idea uncontrollably surfaced in her mind: their relationship is just right.

After school, the three walked to the school gate. Chi Ri and Huo Xing were chatting when they noticed Jupiter looking down, absent-minded. Jupiter's pace slowed down, as if he was deliberately distancing himself from the two. Chi Ri turned to them and asked, "Jupiter, what's wrong?"

Jupiter raised its head, stared at the blazing sun, hesitated, then looked at Mars, who was tilting its head in confusion, and finally closed its mouth: "There's nothing here. I'll go make a phone call."

7

After saying that, Jupiter turned around and, under the puzzled gazes of Sun and Mars, jogged to the nearby park, found a secluded spot, took out his phone, leaned against the wall of the public restroom, and dialed a number.

The phone rang for two seconds before being answered. Dr. Blatano's voice came through: "What's wrong, Jupiter? Is there something you need?"

Jupiter wiped his slightly reddened eyes, coughed, cleared his throat, and blinked rapidly before saying, "Professor, I agree to the proposal of a fourth Mega Pokémon, Malamar."

Now, she only has Mega Pokémon.
