Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Mewtwo slowly moved its body. Indeed, the materials used to make these armors were unknown. Despite being very light, they were able to restrain the outburst of its power, preventing it from going berserk like it had on that small island.

However, although the armor made his power much easier to control, it also made him much weaker.

It could be destroyed. Sensing the strength of the armor, Mewtwo secretly assessed that, with its own power, it was capable of destroying it.

Then it doesn't matter. As long as you can break free from the constraints at any time, it's not a shackle, just a temporary restriction. There's no need to care.

Mewtwo looked up at the man with a gloomy expression but a smile—Gibbon. All it wanted to know was what that man wanted it to do.

'Now, what are you going to do?'

Giovanni looked at the bright eyes of Mewtwo hidden beneath the armor and a wicked smile crept onto his lips: "I'll take you back to Viridian in a couple of days. It'll be a good time to test your strength."

'I also want to know, just how strong am I?'

"as you wish!"

P.S. I'm planning to write in a "little black room" (a private room for writing) later, and I probably won't be released until the afternoon, so I'm posting the second update early. Hopefully, I can add another update on the night I'm released.

P.S. One more thing: regarding the difference between Chengdu and Chengdu in this article, the DVDs I watched as a child used to say Chengdu, but nowadays it seems more often to say Chengdu. Maybe the DVDs I watched as a child were pirated, lol. But it shouldn't affect your reading experience, so please bear with me.

P.S. Daily request for votes, see you tonight!

Chapter 24: First persuade, then seduce, and only then can you subdue.

It's afternoon.

Playing games all night and then sleeping until the afternoon—that's like living the life of an immortal.

However, there is a problem: the consequence of doing this is that his head is in great pain.

Dragged into the bathroom by Phoenix, he ultimately couldn't resist Phoenix's temptation and had another round, leaving his body completely drained.

"The Viridian Gym is still not open?" Kazama Shiramo, who had just left the love hotel, looked at the tightly closed gate and couldn't help but think about asking the League to lower the Viridian Gym's performance evaluation when he got back. They were being too unprofessional.

"Yes, the Viridian Gym is still not open. We..." Ho-Oh's eyes were filled with a hint of spring as he blinked at Kazama Shiro, his implication as obvious as could be.

No, we need to find something else.

Kazama Shiromo looked at Phoenix King with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her. There was no doubt that she wanted to drag her back to that love hotel like a dead dog.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I think..."

"What did you call me? I didn't hear you!"

"Xiao Feng, since Sakaki hasn't shown up yet, I think we can go to Pallet Town first."

"Pallet New Town? What are we going there for?"

"Where should we go to visit Professor Oak, and also see Hanako-neechan and her child? This year marks the start of his journey as a Trainer."

"The senior you're referring to is..." Ho-Oh recalled an unforgettable figure: "The one who single-handedly held off Arceus in its prime, using only six ordinary Pokémon."

"Yes, besides the senior, who else can achieve that level?"

Ho-Oh also recalled that solid figure. Even she had to admit how powerful and terrifying that human was. He was able to hold off Arceus, who had collected all the stone tablets, for so long with just six ordinary Pokémon.

"That person's words truly deserve the respect of everyone and all Pokémon."

Kazama Shiromo smiled, feeling very happy to receive the Phoenix King's approval: "Senior sacrificed himself for this world, so at least I should take good care of his family."

As expected of my favorite trainer, Ho-Oh looked happily at Kazama Shiro's serious face. So responsible, so kind, and so good-looking, he's really amazing!

Gently taking Kazama Shiromo's hand, Phoenix King smiled tenderly: "I'll go with you. After all, I have great respect for that person."

The secret taught by the Water King is that before you get a man, you must act like a queen and conquer him; once you have him, you must be gentle and make him feel that you have been conquered.

Having ridden it all night yesterday, Ho-Oh should be considered to have gotten the hang of it by now, thinking about it in this way. Ho-Oh became incredibly cute and delicate, making Kazama Shiro's heart skip a beat.

What's going on? Is it some kind of Pokémon personality disorder? It was so assertive last night, but this morning it's like a completely different person, so gentle it's weird.

"Shall we head straight to Pallet Town now?"

"Sure, it's your decision."

Huh!!!

I thought Ho-Oh would be somewhat reluctant to leave that dating hotspot, but it was surprisingly decisive. Did I overestimate my charm?

Or is it that Ho-Oh was already very satisfied yesterday, so he has temporarily lost interest in me sexually?

Even Kazama Shiromo himself didn't realize that he had begun to secretly distort the image of the once sacred and inviolable Lord Phoenix in his heart.

Wait, there's one more question!

"Your Majesty, ah, no, Xiao Feng." There's one more question.

"What's the problem?"

"How am I supposed to explain your identity to Hanako-neechan?" Kazama Shiromo gave a wry smile. To be honest, he hadn't considered this at all.

In the past, Rie accompanied me when I visited Ash and Hanako, but now that it's Ho-Oh, how am I supposed to explain this?

"Just say I'm your girlfriend." Compared to Kazama Shiromo's dilemma, Ho-Oh, still somewhat unaware of the situation, was fantasizing about gaining Hanako's approval.

After all, for Kazama Shiro, Hanako was already like a half-elder. Although Ho-Oh knew that she could only be his Pokémon and not his wife, she would be happier if she could stay by his side more often.

“But,” Kazama Shiromo gave a wry smile, “in previous years, every time I went to visit Hanako-nee and Satoshi, my wife Rie accompanied me.”

"Then just say you found a girlfriend after your divorce." Feng Wang said this very sharply, clearly already a little angry.

Kazama Shiro was sweating profusely as he pondered how to handle the situation. To be honest, he had anticipated this scenario ever since Feng Wang dragged him to bed yesterday.

Even Ho-Oh has its own selfish desires, and the image of the selfless Ho-Oh that it once held in its own eyes seems to have been shattered.

Nevertheless, Kazama Shiramo felt closer to Ho-Oh, just like he had been with Lugia back then.

The seemingly gentle and calm sea goddess is actually a cold and aloof older sister figure, but surprisingly, she is a mischievous and cunning woman at heart.

Ho-Oh is like that now too. She looks like a selfless queen, but inside she's surprisingly a bit silly and restless.

It seems that Rayquaza is the only one who is truly consistent inside and out. At first glance, he looks like a shut-in who spends all his time at home, even at 10,000 meters in the sky. Inside, he is also a shut-in who likes to stay at 10,000 meters in the sky.

"I know, I won't make things difficult for you!" Feng Wang pouted unhappily. Although she was very unhappy, she also knew very well that she couldn't be willful in this situation.

"I want a deluxe ball!"

"Clam?"

Phoenix King smacked Kazama Shiromo on the forehead hard: "Are you planning to make me live in a regular red and white ball? That's going too far!"

"Xiao Feng, what do you mean?" Kazama Shiromo was a little slow to react. After all, happiness came somewhat suddenly, just like Phoenix King's attack last night, which caught people off guard.

"Idiot, didn't I already tell you that I've become your Pokémon? You don't even have a decent Poké Ball?"

Suddenly understanding Ho-Oh's meaning, Kazama Shiro's eyes lit up with joy. He hurriedly pulled out the Luxury Balls from his waist. He didn't have any Red or White Balls on him; instead, he had a Master Ball, three Luxury Balls, and two Heal Balls at his waist.

After all, high-grade Poké Balls do have advantages that ordinary red and white Poké Balls cannot match.

Ho-Oh rolled its eyes at the clumsy guy and gently pressed the switch on the Poké Ball.

"When no one's around, you can call me out to do something else." Leaving behind such suggestive words, Ho-Oh's body transformed into a streak of red light and flew into its Poké Ball.

P.S., I'm the legendary automatic updater, hahaha, the author is probably still writing.

P.S. I don't know if the votes have actually reached 100, but I think it should be at least a little more than usual. After all, it's not surprising that a newbie like me didn't make it. Although I'm a little sad.

P.S. Last daily request: please vote!

Chapter 25 Take the Blame, Professor Oak

Pallet Town is a very strange town, at least that's what Kazama Shirabu thinks.

From a sound business perspective, this place is neither a major transportation route nor a scenic spot worth praising, nor does it have any unique local products or rare Pokémon. In other words, it has absolutely no development value.

The only decent place is its relatively good natural environment, with few people, making it suitable for Pokémon to live in.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that Professor Oak, the most prestigious Pokémon professor in the entire Kanto region, settled here!

This is precisely why the League attaches such importance to this small town. Of course, it may also be due to the outstanding people and good feng shui of the place. This town has also contributed a large number of elite trainers to the League. The emergence of many excellent trainers has made this place the focus of the League's gym leaders.

The appearance of that person made this place famous throughout the entire Pokémon world. That man became the Kanto Champion and defeated five other Champions to become the first Pokémon Master in three hundred years.

"Professor Oak's lab is still the same as always." As he walked to the lab's entrance, Kazama Shiramo couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Professor Oak's lab is small and cannot be compared to the scale of large research institutes. Even the research base of a gray organization like Team Rocket looks much larger than Professor Oak's lab.

However, the research successes produced by this seemingly small research center every year are remarkable and attract worldwide attention. Dr. Oki, this seemingly very kind old man, is a true genius.

Although it looks small, Kazama Shiramo, who is somewhat of an industry insider, is very clear about the value of this research institute. Various instruments that look ordinary are actually priceless, and many of the valuable items are achievements that cannot be measured in money.

"Mr. Kazama, it's been a long time." Kazama Bai Mo recognized the white-clad man walking towards them; his name seemed to be Igor Pekka. He had been Professor Oak's assistant for a long time, and the two had met many times before.

"Mr. Igor, it's been a long time." Kazama Shiramo respectfully extended his hand in return, offering a polite handshake.

"Is Mr. Kazama here to visit Professor Oak?"

"I guess so. I also wanted to ask about the new trainers in Pallet Town today."

“As expected.” Igope smiled. “I knew you’d come earlier than usual this year for a reason, but about the new trainer…”

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Kazama Shiramo looked at Igor Pekka, who seemed hesitant to speak, and sensed something was amiss.

"So it turns out that the ridiculously good stats of those three starter Pokémon this year are related to you, right?" Igope, Professor Oak's assistant for many years, was also somewhat in the know, and he was aware of Kazama Shiramo's identity.

"If you insist on saying there's a connection, then there's a little bit..." Kazama Shiromo scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Anyone with a sense of shame would feel a little embarrassed to talk about something like this, which is basically a backroom deal, in the open. "But it wasn't really me who orchestrated it. It was the League's arrangement. After all, Ash is the son of a senior, so we can't treat him unfairly. Besides, his talent is indeed something to look forward to."

“I see.” Igope’s expression became even stranger. “Then the problem is even bigger?”

"Could it be that Ash didn't manage to choose that Squirtle?" Kazama Shiramo's expression turned somewhat pained. A Squirtle with Champion-level potential! If Ash missed it, even someone as discerning as him would feel it was a great pity. "If he didn't get it, then it can only be said to be fate. However, that Charmander is also excellent. The League's assessment is that it has the potential to reach the peak of the Elite Four level. Moreover, the research on the Mega Evolution of Charizard is nearing completion. Mega Charizard X's Dragon and Fire dual-type abilities are rarely countered, and its various abilities are also remarkable. It's a pretty good choice."

"That child didn't choose Charmander either." Igope's expression grew even more bitter. "That child didn't choose Squirtle either."

"What!" Kazama Shiromo's expression became very conflicted. You know, although the last Bulbasaur's potential was just barely at the Elite Four level, to be honest, this level was a bit low in his opinion. Moreover, although Grass-type Pokémon are unpredictable, their hard stats are not that high, and they have always been the standard 'weak type'.

"Well, it's not a big problem. After all, he has a Champion-level starter Pokémon from his previous life, which puts him far ahead of his peers. As for what he lost this time, he can only make up for it with his future efforts." Kazama Shiro felt a little regretful, but he believed that Professor Oak must have let Ash make the choice first. It was just a matter of fate; once it was missed, it was missed.

There's nothing to regret. After all, they're the children of a senior colleague; they'll surely meet good friends in the future, and besides...

Kazama Shiromo gritted his teeth. He figured he could just be shameless. He remembered that Daigo's Metagross egg was hatching, right? It was a champion-level pseudo-legendary egg. He was willing to be shameless for that.
