Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

"That's strange, where did that big-toothed raccoon go?"

"Sigh... I'm telling you, Ash, you're running off again. What if you can't find the campsite later?"

Suddenly, two more male voices came from the bushes.

One sounded a bit rash, while the other was much more composed.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Oh, and there was another chirping sound, probably from the accompanying pet.

Kuroe Minoru: Oo?

and many more!

A raccoon? Ash? And Pikachu?!

"Splash—"

Before Kuroe could recover from his shock, the bushes in front of him were suddenly pushed aside.

A black-haired boy wearing a red and white striped baseball cap burst out of the bushes in a flurry of activity.

On his shoulder lay a large yellow rat with two red halos on its cheeks and a lightning bolt-shaped tail!

Behind the boy was a composed young man with squinty eyes, slightly dark skin, and carrying a large travel bag, as well as a blue-haired girl wearing a white knitted hat and a pink skirt.

"Ah! There's someone over there!"

The boy in the baseball cap spotted Kuroe Minoru standing in the open space at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he immediately waved enthusiastically and ran over.

"Hello! Did you just see a chubby Pokémon with two big front teeth run past here?"

"Pikachu!" The electric mouse on his shoulder chirped, its little ears perking up as it looked at Kuroe Minoru.

Kuroe Minoru stared blankly at the group of people in front of him, his mind completely blank.

Ash! Pikachu! Brock! Dawn!

So this is the world of Pokémon.

"Hey? Big brother? Are you alright?"

Seeing that Kuroe Minoru hadn't spoken for a while, Xiaozhi reached out and waved his hand in front of Kuroe Minoru's eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Ah...ah, I'm fine!"

Kuroe suddenly snapped out of his daze, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and pointed to the bushes to his right rear.

"It just ran that way."

"Ah! Thank you!"

Ash laughed happily, but seeing that the other side was already a lake and there was no way to catch up, he simply stuck out his thumb and pointed to himself:

"My name is Ash, and I'm from Pallet Town! This is my partner, Pikachu! Our goal is to become Pokémon Masters!"

"Pikachu~" Pikachu greeted us very cooperatively by raising its little paw.

"I'm Xiaogang." The squinty-eyed youth smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over Kuroe Shiki.

"I'm Hikaru! Nice to meet you!" the blue-haired girl introduced herself with great enthusiasm.

"Hello, my name is Kuroe Minoru."

God knows how excited he is right now! This is the Pokémon world he's dreamed of visiting since he was a child!

"Is Mr. Kuroe traveling here alone?"

Brock keenly noticed that apart from the casual clothes that looked high-quality, Kuroe Shiki had no backpack, no Poké Balls hanging from his waist, and not even a water bottle.

"It's quite dangerous in this forest without a Pokémon by your side. You might run into the territory of Ursaring or Beedrill," Brock kindly warned.

"Um... I'm actually lost."

Kuroe made up a random excuse, "Besides, I'm not a Pokémon Trainer."

"Oh, I see!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi immediately patted his chest, brimming with a sense of justice, and said, "In that case, Brother Hei Jiang, why don't you come with us first? After lunch, we'll take you back to Shuangye Town!"

"Yeah, it's lunchtime! Xiaogang's cooking is super delicious!" Xiaoguang chimed in.

"Then I'll have to bother you."

Kuroe did not refuse.

Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, a newcomer should first follow the protagonist and have some fun.

According to the system's time settings, a day in this world is roughly equivalent to an hour outside.

Just consider it a trip to the world.

So, Kuroe Minoru naturally joined the main characters' group and followed them toward the camp not far away.

Along the way, Ash chattered away, sharing the fun things that happened on their trip with Minoru Kuroe. Pikachu also curiously jumped around Minoru, and then Minoru caught it, hugged it, and petted it.

While responding with a smile, Kuroe Minoru silently called upon the system in his mind.

"System, can I capture Pokémon in this world and bring them back with me?"

[Ding! Okay.]

Upon hearing the system's affirmative reply, Kuroe Minoru's eyes lit up instantly.

You can take it back!

If you brought back a Gardevoir... cough cough, a Charizard or Groudon or something, how cool would that be!

Just as Kuroe was daydreaming about which Pokémon to catch, Ash, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

"Ah! The road ahead is blocked!"

Xiao Zhi pointed to a thick, withered tree trunk lying across the path ahead. The trunk was as thick as two people could hug, and it had obviously been knocked down by the storm a few days ago.

"Looks like we'll have to take a detour..." Xiao Gang frowned.

"No need to take the long way, leave it to me!"

Ash confidently rolled up his sleeves, strode up to the huge, withered tree trunk, grabbed one end of it with both hands, and shouted:

"Hey ya—!"

To Kuroe's astonishment, Satoshi managed to lift the massive tree trunk, weighing several hundred pounds, all by himself, and then flipped it to the side!

"Boom!"

The tree trunk was thrown into the roadside bushes, and the road was instantly clear.

"All done!" Xiaozhi dusted off his hands, turned around and gave Kuroe a bright smile.

"..."

No wonder he's a super rookie who can lift a 72-kilogram Urarara with one hand, balance a 100,000-volt hog on his head, and withstand 100,000 volts without getting hurt.

Just as the group was preparing to continue their journey.

"Whoosh—!"

Two ropes with mechanical claws at the front suddenly shot out from mid-air!

One of the arrows precisely grabbed Pikachu on Ash's shoulder, while the other reached for the canopy of a large tree nearby, pulling out a Pokémon that emitted a faint starlight and looked like a small cloud!

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

"Moo-woo—!"

Both Pokémon cried out in alarm at the same time and were quickly pulled into the air by the mechanical claw.

"Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed in surprise, abruptly raising his head.

Above their heads, a giant hot air balloon appeared out of nowhere.

"Since you've asked so sincerely!"

"We'll just have some mercy on you—"

"Kojiro!!!"

"Kojiro Nyan!"

Meow and Musashi were shocked to see the silver-armored man punch Kojiro in the stomach.

No, who are you?

Kuroe Minoru withdrew his fist and said seriously, "To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

Musashi subconsciously followed the DNA and said it out loud.

"Huh?! So Brother Hei Jiang is from Team Rocket!"

Ash watched all this from below and immediately shouted.

"Idiot! It doesn't look like it at all!"
