Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

"That Kazama-san is quite an interesting person."

“I think Miss Joey is a very interesting Miss Joey.” Kazama Shiramo waved his hand: “But our chat time is over. Could you go and get me some tools? Just a few screwdrivers and wrenches of the appropriate size will do.”

"But didn't Kazama-san say you were just an investigator, not a maintenance worker? Does that mean Kazama-san's seemingly innocent face is actually that of a very deceitful and wicked person?" Miss Joy smiled mischievously.

"No, no, no, I'm not lying to you, Miss Joey. It's just that there's nothing wrong with this machine." Kazama Shiramo smiled mysteriously. "That's why I said this matter can be easily resolved."

"No problem? Then why isn't it working properly?"

Kazama Shiramo didn't answer the question. Instead, he focused intently on disassembling the Pokémon Healing Device using various tools. He was familiar with the device's structure and could even remember the cross-sectional diagram, but it was still quite troublesome to actually operate.

I clumsily disassembled the Pokémon Healing Device's outer shell, gradually revealing its internal structure, and looked inside.

Just as Kazama Shiramo sensed, there was a small thing stuck to the spiral measuring instrument. How interesting, Kazama Shiramo smiled.

PSX is such a wonderful person, her only flaw is that she's a bit too talkative.

P.S. Sorry I missed it. I ran out of drafts, so I skipped class to write this chapter. I have class soon, see you tonight!

P.S. Lastly, as usual, I'm asking for your votes, especially monthly votes! Half the month has passed, and the new book ranking is still nowhere in sight.

Chapter 34 The Tokiwa Gym About to Open

Magnemite.

This is a Pokémon very common in the Kanto region. It has only one eye, located in the center of its spherical body. There is a horseshoe-shaped magnet on each side of its body, with opposite poles. It has a large screw on its head and two smaller screws on the front of its body. All the screws and magnets can rotate freely. It can emit electromagnetic waves through its left and right parts to shield itself from gravity, thus levitating in the air.

It looks a bit like a small metal toy, but it is definitely a Pokémon.

As a Pokémon with Electric and Steel types, its final evolution is Magneton. With decent overall stats, this Pokémon is a good choice for many ordinary trainers.

However, this little Magnemite is very special, or rather—underdeveloped.

A typical Magnemite is about 30cm in diameter, but this one in front of us...

Kazama Shiramo gently reached out to try and remove the little Magnemite from the Gyroscope measuring device, but was met with resistance.

Is its characteristic magnetic? A white light flashed in Kazama Shiramo's eyes as he activated his telekinesis, forcibly separating the little Magnemite from the gyroscope.

"This is... a Magnemite?" Miss Joy looked at the Magnemite in Kazama Shirai's hand with a curious gaze: "But why is this Magnemite so small?"

Kazama Shiramo smiled and said, "I'm curious too. The total length of a typical Magnemite is usually around 30cm, with smaller ones around 25cm. The diameter of its central spherical body is usually between 15 and 20cm, but this Magnemite..."

"It looks less than 10cm long. Is this really a Magnemite? It feels like a toy." Miss Joy curiously poked the Magnemite in Kazama Shiramo's hand, and the Magnemite's body turned around slightly.

“It doesn’t look like a toy.” Kazama Shiramo was also very curious: “I’ve never seen such a small Magnemite before. It’s very small, and its properties are not just ordinary sturdiness, but rather a rare magnetic property.”

"Who knows? I'm getting a little interested." With that, Kazama Shiramo took out a healing ball from his waist and gently tapped it on the petite Magnemite.

A flash of white light, and without any struggle, Magnemite entered Kazama Shirasumi's Poké Ball.

"Kazama-san..."

"It looks like it's an unclaimed child. The Heal Ball is just right for it. After being trapped here for so long, the accumulated fatigue is better recovered slowly with the Heal Ball. The recovery effect at the Pokémon Center is not ideal."

"But Kazama-san..."

"What's wrong, Miss Nurse Joy? Are you surprised to see a Heal Ball? After all, I used to be an ordinary trainer, so it's normal to have some personal collections, isn't it?"

“That’s true, it’s nothing. But Kazama-san, it’s getting very late. Why don’t you stay at the Pokémon Center and rest? There aren’t many legendary trainers staying tonight, and there are plenty of rooms available.” Nurse Joy gave a professional smile.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble." Kazama Shiromo thought about it and decided that staying at the Pokémon Center was a good option, since it was already so late and it would be a bit of a hassle to find a hotel.

And the biggest problem is that if they go to stay in a hotel, Kazama Shiramo thought about Ho-Oh, who was still in the luxury sphere, and who knows if he'll even be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning.

"Okay, please follow me."

What Kazama Shiramo didn't know was that, as a Miss Joy, even though healing orbs were extremely rare, they wouldn't surprise her.

What truly surprised Nurse Joy was the astonishing purple glint that flashed at Kazama Shiramo's waist when he pulled out the Heal Ball. Kazama's surname, the purple Poké Ball, and the fact that he was once a trainer and a psychic.

All of this combined, and Miss Joy recalled a very special champion from the Joy family's teachings.

Kazama Shirasumi, hailed as the strongest Sinnoh Champion of all time, whose tenure lasted less than a month!

"Are you almost ready?" Giovanni gently stroked the Persian beneath him, a sinister smile on his face as he looked at Mewtwo, who was clad in armor and connected to a dense array of data tubes.

"Is this really alright?" Mewtwo replied. To be honest, although the Pokémon it encountered on the way back seemed so weak to it, it was said that the trainers who came to challenge the Viridian Gym were far stronger than those Pokémon.

Is there a problem?

'This armor has drastically reduced my abilities. Is it really safe to face challengers in this state? After all, according to you, those who challenge me must be extremely powerful trainers.'

“No problem at all.” Boss Giovanni seemed very relaxed: “You need to know that you are Mewtwo, a transcendent being created by refining the genes of the Origin Pokémon Mew countless times and then combining them with the best human genome.”

"Although there are many other extraordinary legendary Pokémon in this world, I believe you are absolutely no less powerful than them. Facing those trainers, if you don't control your power, it's easy for injuries to occur, and I don't want to see such unnecessary casualties."

"Moreover, you also need to learn to control your power more subtly."

'Exquisite control over one's own power? What good is that?' Mewtwo's eyes, hidden beneath its helmet, glowed blue as it pondered, 'Why be so fixated on the subtle application of power when there are simpler and more powerful methods available?'

Giovanni smiled. Perhaps he was a behind-the-scenes big boss (in his own opinion), a person who successfully ruled the entire Kanto gray area and caused great trouble for the League (in his own opinion), and also a very successful spy who infiltrated the enemy for a very long time without being discovered (in his own opinion). However, before all this, he was a very powerful Pokémon Trainer - Giovanni of the Earth.

Although Mewtwo wasn't his best Ground-type Pokémon, he was still extremely excited to be the trainer of such a powerful Pokémon (in his opinion), even though he didn't show it on his face.

"Listen up, Mewtwo! The enemies you'll face in the future won't be just this level!"

P.S. Regarding the earlier comment about Y-God having huge breasts, it seems you weren't right either.

My new advisor is making a big show of things, having talked to me yesterday and then holding a ridiculous meeting today, dragging out my updates until now. I'm really desperate!

P.S. Anyway, I'd still like to ask for your votes! It's said that everyone who votes for this book with a monthly pass will eventually have an adorable Gardevoir turn into a beautiful girl and marry them.

Chapter 35 Today's First Challenger

Joban City, Joban Gym.

With the return of Giovanni Sakaki, the League's Worker of the Year.

We're finally opening for business!

That's truly cause for celebration!

"Finally, the door is open! That cowardly brothel owner has finally agreed to come upstairs." A little girl with blue hair and a ponytail lowered the brim of her hat, her eyes shining with unparalleled confidence, two bright, twinkling stars blinking!

Although she is very petite, only 1.5 meters tall, and has a very youthful face, she is actually 20 years old.

She has a very cool name. Her surname is Zhengyi, and her parents named her Linran – Zhengyi Linran!

As a female trainer who has traveled for many years, she has a very high level of confidence in her abilities.

In fact, she is quite talented. Her years of travel have given her enough trustworthy companions. She only has one badge left in Kanto that she hasn't obtained: the Tokiwa Badge.

"Come on, I'm going to get the Viridian Badge today and participate in the Indigo League!" Righteous and confident, he walked into the Viridian Gym and saw the man sitting on the high platform.

"He looks so gloomy and ugly, he's obviously no good." Rinro, who always judges justice by appearance, made her decision quietly the moment she saw Sakaki.

On the contrary, when Giovanni saw such a young girl for the first time, he couldn't help but smile: "Little girl, the rule of my Viridian Dojo is that if you want to challenge me, you must have obtained more than four badges. If you don't have any, you need to defeat four apprentices of Viridian Dojo to prove your strength."

"Of course, I'll challenge the gym leader directly!" Zheng Yi smiled proudly, lifting her coat to reveal seven exquisite and beautiful badges underneath, the result of her long and hard work.

"That's really impressive." Giovanni looked at her with great admiration. This girl in front of him seemed to be a little genius. She looked so young, but he didn't expect her to already be a trainer with seven badges. Although each gym leader would take into account the trainer's age, number of Pokémon, and Pokémon status when conducting the assessment.

After all, gym battles are just a test for League trainers, intended only to allow gym leaders to assess the trainers' abilities and qualifications. It's impossible for gym leaders and trainers to actually fight at full strength.

However, this girl is so young, she looks only twelve or thirteen years old, yet she has already obtained seven badges. She must be very talented!

Anyway, there's still plenty of time. Looking at Rinra's cute little face, Giovanni secretly made a decision: he should just focus on fulfilling his responsibilities as the gym leader. After all, he couldn't let such a talented child go to waste. What if there was a chance to recruit her into Team Rocket in the future? After all, a ten-year-old is still very interested in this kind of cool, dark stuff.

Let's test Mewtwo's power later. Let me focus on my job as Gym Leader and teach this little girl properly!

Giovanni smiled contentedly, feeling like he was humanity's hope amidst both light and darkness: "Go, this is my first Pokémon, Corphish the Lobster!"

The dignified little girl pulled out a Poké Ball from her waist and struck a cool pose: "Go, I choose you, Charizard."

What a confident posture and stance! This child is a trainer full of energy! And to be able to train a starter Pokémon to this level at such a young age is truly a gift. Judging from the Charizard's posture, it's probably at the peak of the elite level, enough to show its prowess at the Indigo League.

"You clearly saw me use Corphish, so why did you choose a Pokémon whose type is weak against you?"

With a righteous and confident smile, he said, "No matter who the opponent is, Charizard will be the first to step forward. This is my acknowledgment of Charizard. No matter how I fail, no matter what kind of Pokémon the opponent is, I believe it will bring me the most outstanding battle!"

What an astonishing conviction! Giovanni couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes. Was it this unwavering dedication that had carried her this far? Why did he have to eliminate a lobster soldier first? Wouldn't a unicorn be better?

However, since things have come to this point, Giovanni certainly wouldn't say anything more: "Little girl, being able to uphold your beliefs is something a trainer can be proud of throughout their life. In any case, I hope you have this perseverance and can persevere to the end."

"Besides, the battles at Viridian Gym are 6v6, just like the matches after the group stage of the Indigo League. Enjoy it, even if you lose the first match, it's okay."

"I believe in Charizard, it will bring me victory!" Charizard looked at its partner with a proud and righteous expression. As if sensing its trainer's trust, the flames on Charizard's tail rose higher, and its aura became magnificent!

"Please proceed. The challenger's first-strike advantage is an unwritten rule in gym battles."

"Then I won't hold back!" Zheng Yi wiped his little nose: "Charizard, fly into the air and use Flamethrower."

Using the advantage of being able to fly to minimize the negative effects of one's zodiac sign? Sakaki nodded in agreement, but that wasn't enough.

"Lobster Soldier, use Protect!"

An invisible barrier lit up, easily blocking the Charizard's flame-breathing attack.

"Goblin, Bubble Beam!" Reality isn't a game; it won't wait for you round by round. Although Giovanni isn't a trainer specializing in water-based cleansing, his seasoned experience immediately led him to make the right choice.

At this point, I used a water gun. Although theoretically it seems to do more damage to Charizard, the water gun's hit rate was really low because it was flying.

Conversely, using the Bubble Beam, while less powerful than the Water Gun, can effectively obstruct Charizard's vision.

"Charizard, dive down, use Seismic Toss at close range!"

Zheng Yilan was also very experienced and made the best choice immediately.

"He's still too young and inexperienced," Giovanni shook his head. "Lobster Soldier, Deadly Cross Scissors!"

"What! Charizard, stop!" Linran hurriedly tried to stop Charizard from approaching the Shrimp Grunt... but it was too late.

The deadly cross-shaped shears struck the charging Charizard with pinpoint accuracy—Charizard was rendered unable to battle!

"The idea is still pretty good, but don't underestimate any of your opponents, not even a seemingly ordinary lobster soldier." Sakaki stood up, a confident smile on his face, and looked at the somewhat unpleasant-looking Zheng Yilan: "Don't tell me that's all you're capable of!"
