Chapter 55 I'm Afraid of Losing You

In just a few days, Pear Blossom's understanding of Su Sheng's abilities reached a new level.

Before meeting Su Sheng, she had also learned how to raise Pokémon from many famous teachers.

But none of them could be as thorough as Su Sheng.

She suddenly understood why that idiot Yishu was willing to stay by his side.

"Hey guys, I've got something good for you."

At this moment, a tree made a loud noise, and a golden retriever, like one that had learned a new skill and wanted to show it off to its owner, came up to it.

Incidentally, he learned the term "laotie" from Su Sheng by chance.

"You found a wallet?"

Su Sheng casually replied that if he didn't respond to this guy, he would only get more excited.

"Of course not."

Yishu laughed even more exaggeratedly, took out a Poké Ball and opened it.

A flash of white light appeared, and a brand new Pokémon appeared between the three of them—

Slowpoke!

It can also be called a silly hippo.

"How was it? A Shellder just bit my Slowpoke's tail, and then it evolved."

Recalling what had just happened, Yishu sighed:

"It's amazing that there's such a way of evolution."

"Slowbro likes to use its tail to fish for food, and once it gets bitten by Shellder, it will evolve into Slowbro."

Pear Blossom replied:

"This case was discovered by Dr. Oak, and it sparked a lot of academic discussion at the time because no one had ever seen this kind of evolution before."

Noticing that Su Sheng didn't speak, Yi Shu asked curiously:

"Ah Sheng, why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Sheng stared intently at the tail of the Dumbshell Beast, where a pair of ferocious, tower-shaped shells were visible.

That is the evolution of the giant tongue shell.

However, unlike the goofy-looking Shellder, this shell, now part of Slowbro's body, has a fierce expression that's more like Shellder's evolved form, Cloyster.

Su Sheng did not immediately answer Yi Shu's question, but instead squatted down to observe the connection between the shell and the tail of the dull beast.

They discovered sharp teeth at the bottom of the shell, biting tightly at the tail of the Slowbro.

"What do you think will happen if it loosens its grip?"

Su Sheng's question startled everyone on the pear tree.

This... I really hadn't thought of that.

Su Sheng got up and went to the edge of the training field, fiddled with the medical kit, and then took out a syringe.

As I walked over, I made eye contact with Umbreon.

It was as if Yueyibu could read something from Su Sheng's eyes.

A subtle change appeared in his eyes.

"Press it down."

Su Sheng squatted down next to the dull-shelled beast again.

After the nymph Akihime pressed the shell firmly down, she inserted the syringe into the mouth of the shell that the giant tongue clam had transformed into.

The shell, feeling a sudden soreness in its gums, subconsciously smacked its lips.

What Su Sheng just injected was a special anesthetic made from paralysis powder, used for surgery on Pokémon.

The tower-shaped seashell fell to the ground.

Almost the instant it landed, its body emitted a light blue glow of evolution, and it transformed back into a giant tongue shell!

This... should be called the "light of degeneration," right?

The Slow-Footed Beast, which had just been standing on two legs, now lay prone on the ground.

It turned back into a Slowpoke!

"Has it really really regressed?"

The pear blossoms on the tree all looked on in disbelief.

If Shellder bites Slowpoke, it will evolve into Slowbro.

If we loosen it, wouldn't it lead to degeneration?

They had already guessed this.

But I never expected it to actually work!

"Perhaps it's possible..."

Su Sheng pondered for a moment, then turned to a tree and said:

"Can I borrow Slowpoke and Shellder lately?"

"Oh~"

The tree nodded.

It was rare to see such a serious expression on Su Sheng's face.

I was completely intimidated by his imposing presence.

……

A month later, after a day of training, the three of them had dinner with their Pokémon. Su Sheng stood up and said:

"Everyone, take a break. Umbreon, come with me."

With that, Su Sheng opened the door and went out.

Seeing this, Umbreon spat out the last bite of Pokémon food it was chewing and quickly followed.

Upon seeing Su Sheng's serious expression again, both Yi Shu and Li Hua remained silent.

Pretending not to see, they started clearing away the plates.

Not to mention those two, even the mischievous DedeCMS, Lulu, and Vivi, all obediently retreated into their Poké Balls.

I hope something happened to that female fox.

Su Sheng and Yue Yibu walked on the streets of Azure City.

Because of the magnetic remote control invented by the Joker.

Trainers in various regions have gradually become accustomed to keeping at least one Pokémon with them, just like Ash Ketchum in the future.

Hmm, it seems like the game HeartGold/SoulSilver has a follow system.

Later, for some reason, it disappeared from the game again.

Is this a butterfly effect that I caused myself?

Furthermore, Professor Oak continues to popularize knowledge about "Dark" type Pokémon.

Su Sheng's Umbreon walking down the street is no longer as conspicuous as it was when he first captured it.

More than half an hour later, Su Sheng stopped walking.

Umbreon looked up and saw... this isn't a graveyard.

Su Sheng continued walking inside, and Yueyibu, not having time to ask any questions, followed suit.

Before Su Sheng could even look up, Yueyibu had stopped again.

Then Su Sheng said, "Grandma Yingzi is dead."

Upon hearing this name, Umbreon's expression turned as if struck by lightning.

"Sakurako" was her former owner.

That is, the name of the old woman who abandoned me half a year ago.

Looking up, I saw a photo on the tombstone—it was that person!

"Although I didn't want to either, he's someone who's taken care of you for over seven years. I've thought about it for a long time and decided it's best to bring you here to pay your respects."

As he spoke, Su Sheng took out three incense sticks from his backpack, released Lulu, lit them, and stuck them in the soil in front of the tombstone.

Umbreon remained silent for a long time before finally bowing slightly to the tombstone.

Anyway, thank you.

A few seconds later, Umbreon opened its eyes.

Su Sheng took out a test tube containing medicine from his pocket, dug a small pit in the soil in front of the tombstone, and put the test tube into it.

"Bu-i?"

Umbreon tilted its head curiously.

Su Sheng replied:

"This is a 'degeneration agent' that I invented by studying the structural changes in lineage factors before and after the evolution of Slowpoke and Slowbro. I'll tentatively name it 'APTX4869'."

Umbreon's eyes widened.

She remembered the promise she made with Su Sheng on the evening of their first meeting six months ago.

"Actually, I developed it last week, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid of losing you."

Su Sheng scooped up the soil and buried the degradation agent.

"But now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief... it's useless now."

The next second, Yueyibu pounced into Su Sheng's arms.

For her, the words "I'm afraid of losing you" were more important than anything else.

Seeing this, Lulu immediately rushed forward as well.

Don't form cliques!

Dai Dai and Bi Bi also jumped out of the ball.

His fierce face clearly said three words—"I want a hug!"

The Umbreon, which had only enjoyed the warmth for less than two seconds, was suddenly pushed from its chest to its belly button, and its face was squeezed into a meme-worthy expression.

Damn it, you bunch of little bitches!
