Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"So, their assistance is also very important. Most of our heritage is about the God of the Sky. As for our understanding of the two gods, we are definitely not as good as the two shrine masters and the miko~"

"I see. I will go to visit the Songshen Volcano later. I think they should be happy to cooperate..."

After all, it is a matter of two gods. As the master of a shrine that worships two gods, he must hope that the gods he believes in can see the light of day again and accumulate faith, just like before the war of two gods broke out.

"Then I'll go ahead and follow your pace from now on..."

Xijiana waved her hand, then released the Dragonite again. At the moment of turning over, she seemed to have thought of something and spoke rather embarrassedly.

"...I'm very sorry about what happened in the back mountain. It was my immaturity that caused you and Xiaoyao to fall into such a crisis. I just thought that no one would come to that place, so I chose to practice mega evolution there. Of course, this cannot be used as an excuse for myself."

After saying that, she took a deep breath...

"If this matter is successfully resolved, I will definitely apologize again. As for now, I'm sorry, I still have something important to do, so..."

After hearing this, Luo Wei waved his hand generously, "...I don't care anymore. Anyway, it didn't matter in the end, right? That kind of accident was definitely not your intention. As for Xiaoyao...well, she should not care anymore, right?"

Xijiana had said before that before Lowe, she had actually looked for other partners, and that person seemed to be Xiaoyao, but Xiaoyao later recommended Lowe.

As for why Xiaoyao was chosen, it is probably because Xiaoyao is the daughter of Professor Odamaki, and theoretically has more knowledge about Pokémon.

But at least for now, Xijiana is sure that Lowe is indeed more suitable than her, just as Xiaoyao said.

And Xijiana should have already apologized to Xiaoyao for what happened back then. Xiaoyao's temper... Lowe felt that she had probably gotten over it a long time ago.

Xiaoyao and Luo Wei are not the kind of people who care about trivial matters. After hearing this, Xijiana fell silent.

"...Indeed, but just because you don't care doesn't mean I don't care either. Anyway, let's wait until everything is over before we talk about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dragonite flew into the sky. Lowe watched Dragonite leave and nodded calmly. Then, standing on the outskirts of the foot of Chimney Mountain, he thought of a very serious problem.

"...Wait a minute, you brought me here, so why don't you take me back? I haven't gotten in the car yet, I haven't gotten in the car yet!!!"

Chapter 180 Lowe's Morning Routine

All in all, regardless of how Lowe ran back to the hot spring hotel in the middle of the night, with Gardevoir, he could have done it with a few teleportations.

After returning, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and didn't say anything more.

After all, Xiaoyao seemed to have had some simple cooperation with Xijiana before, and Lowe estimated that she had obtained the key stone and gained the power of mega evolution.

When facing the Red Flame Pine before, Xiaoyao looked very calm, and she looked like she was about to use a cheat. However, in the end, Yasha rushed forward first, so she didn't use the cheat.

But no matter what, Lowe was sure that Xiaoyao must have mastered a lot of new powers during this period of travel, and his strength must have increased.

After all, he is the protagonist with his halo, so he can't help but accept it.

On the other hand, Lillie also noticed the changes in Nebula, and Lillie is now Nebula's temporary guardian. In a sense, she can understand some of Nebula's consciousness, just like a trainer can understand the consciousness of his own Pokémon.

So Liliae probably knew that there were new changes in Lowe, but she didn't take the initiative to point it out. After all, there were Yasha and Xiaoyao, and the existence of Little Nebula was still a secret.

After going around in circles, only Yasha had no idea what had happened. But after all, she was a very carefree person and didn't think that Lowe would do anything bad. Since Lowe didn't say it on his own initiative, she was too lazy to ask.

So, the result was that it was as if nothing had happened that night, and I just rested until the next day.

The next morning, Lowe got up from the bed refreshed. After integrating the powers of the two plug-ins last night, Lowe now felt as if he had endless energy all over his body.

He hasn't tried it, but he is probably sure that his physical fitness is definitely much better than before.

He stood up and stretched facing the morning sun, then slapped the big cat that was curled up beside him and sleeping soundly to wake it up.

The big cat yawned, arched its back, and stretched it hard. On the other side, Fairy Eevee, who had also woken up, licked his paws and combed his hair carefully.

As for Masked Cat, ever since she threw the job of combing its hair to Lowe, she basically never took care of it herself. She would get up in the morning, go straight to Lowe, close her eyes and wait for the hair comber to comb her hair.

Lowe skillfully took out a comb, scissors, tweezers and a row of bottles and jars and began to take care of her. On the other side, Gardevoir, who had woken up earlier than everyone else, or in fact had not slept at all, had already brought breakfast to Lowe.

Since Gardevoir's evolution, her telekinesis and mental strength have become so strong that she does not need to rely on sleep to restore her spirit. Normally, she only needs one to two hours of deep meditation to recover from a whole day's fatigue.

As for the physical consumption, she could solve it by self-regeneration after meditation, which meant that she actually didn't need to sleep at all.

However, she would still take a nap for at least six hours at night. In fact, there was no special meaning to it. It was just a habit left over from the time of Lalu Las. She just liked to lie down and rest with Lowe.

Because of this, she wakes up the earliest every day and makes all the necessary preparations in advance. When Lowe gets up, he can stroke the cat's fur while living a life of having food and clothes provided for him.

Gardevoir's telekinesis can easily do many things at the same time, and there is no need to worry about tiring her out. She can serve tea, water, change clothes, wash up, and provide all kinds of assistance. In fact, the burden on her may not even be one-tenth of the consumption of a casual mental telepath during a Pokémon duel.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be in a mess, but for Gardevoir, who has mastered telekinesis and can read minds, she is simply the best maid in ideal condition.

She could pose with impeccable elegance, snuggling up to Lowe and quietly watching him stroke the cat's fur, while using her telekinesis to methodically get the things she needed, assisting Lowe with washing, eating and drinking.

At the beginning, Lowe was indeed a little uncomfortable with it, but after repeated cooperation a few times, he can now skillfully multitask, petting the cat with his hands while enjoying Gardevoir's "feeding" with peace of mind.

Whether from the perspective of efficiency or other aspects, this seems to be the "optimal solution", making full use of the characteristics of Pokémon to solve daily actions in the most time-saving and labor-saving way.

After taking care of the Masked Cat here and finishing eating and drinking there, this leisurely morning once again made Lowe sigh that this life is really comfortable.

At the same time, Lowe also felt that it was necessary to continue expanding his team...

It is still unclear who to choose for the time being, but Lowe is now going with the flow. Anyway, it will come naturally when the time is right. For example, Gardevoir and Sylveon, didn’t they join the team when the time came?

All in all, the first problem now is to get the fourth badge.

After packing up, Lowe stood up and walked out of the room. When he came to the hall, he met Xiaoyao, Liliae and Yasha. They had also rested for a whole night and their spirits had almost recovered.

"Yeah, that couldn't be better..."

Yasha seemed to be communicating with someone. When she saw Lowe coming, she waved to him excitedly, "The communication from Lord Daigo just now said that the weather readings near Chimney Mountain have returned to normal. It seems that there is no need to continue monitoring for the time being. In addition, the mountain cable car has been repaired~"

No wonder Yasha was so excited. She received two good news early in the morning, which naturally made her in a good mood. Lowe naturally spoke with a smile immediately.

"That's really congratulations. This way, Fuyan Town can regain its popularity. It seems that there has been too much without the mountain cable car these past few days."

Although Lowe had never been to Fuyan Town before, he had seen many local tourism advertisements of Fuyan Town. The Fuyan Town in the advertisements was definitely not as deserted as what Lowe saw at this moment.

This was naturally because the mountain cable car was out of order. Anyone who wanted to reach Kamae Town could only take the uneven mountain trail, and that trail was impossible for anyone other than a trainer to pass, so of course ordinary travelers could forget about it.

Therefore, the only ones who were able to come here without being affected were the trainers who came to challenge the gym, so the flow of people naturally decreased all of a sudden.

Now, it looks like recovery is finally coming.

"Well..." Lowe raised his hand in the direction of Yasha, "... today, please give me your guidance."

After hearing this, Yasha put away the smile on her face and revealed an extremely serious expression, "Well, I will do my best. Let's fight to our heart's content without any regrets, Mr. Lowe!"

Chapter 181: Battle for the Fourth Gym

Then, fight to your heart's content without any regrets!

Although that is what he said, for now, Lowe, who has just completed the integration of the two hangs, is most likely to be more powerful than Yasa in actual combat.

Even if it was the Asha who had not resolved her psychological trauma before, there would be no suspense in this battle at all. But now that her psychological problem has been resolved, Asha's strength can be fully exerted, and this battle still has a little suspense.

The two sides stood facing each other, still three against three. Naturally, Lowe's whole family came together, while Yasha's side had the lava snail, coal turtle and fire-breathing camel, all of whom were partners she had cultivated since childhood.

...In other words, this is almost Yasha's main lineup, and she has really given it her all.

"Why not just fight more boldly and attack together!"

If the battle is carried out according to the normal one-on-one rules, Yasha's combination fire breath will not be able to be used. Of course, she has other trump cards, but since it is agreed that both sides must give their all, then she might as well adopt a three-on-three all-out battle rule.

Yasha had no objection. After thinking for two seconds, she decisively agreed to Lowe's proposal...

"No problem, then three against three!"

Both sides are straightforward people, and when the alliance itself sets up the gym battle, there are no rigid regulations. Basically, as long as the gym owner and the challenger have no objection, the battle rules can be adjusted to a certain extent.

One on one, two on two, or even three on three, even a big melee, as long as it can be used to fully determine the challenger's strength, it can be considered a valid result.

After all, the main purpose of gym battles is to select trainers with gifts and talents. As long as this condition is met, the specific process does not have to be particularly rigid.

and so……

Fuyan Town - Flame Gym Leader - Asha VS Mobai Town - Elite Trainer - Lowe

Because it was interesting, Xiaoyao decided to watch and take over the referee's job. He waved his hand between the two of them, then quickly moved back to make way...

"…The battle begins~"

As the special referee, Xiaoyao gave the order, and Yasha immediately took the initiative...

"...Coal Turtle, Sunny Day, Lava Snail, Fire-Breathing Camel...Big Fire-Breathing!"

The coal turtle stepped firmly on the ground with all four feet, raised its head and let out a dull roar. Along with its sound, a brilliant golden sun in the sky emitted scorching heat.

The first step is to seize the weather. Asha is a standard sunny team tactic. The Coal Turtle is responsible for opening the weather, while the Fire Camel and Lava Snail directly perform the combo skills that Asha is proud of...

...Double Big Fire!

The two golden-red pillars of fire merged into one, forming a fire tornado that rose into the sky. Under the scorching sun overhead, the fire tornado emitted terrifying heat, and it seemed to have the power to burn everything it touched to ashes.

Asha's single fire breath has the destructive power to melt rocks instantly, and the double fire breath increases the power by more than several times. After completely untying the knot in her heart and letting go of the burden, she no longer has any thoughts of worrying about gains and losses, and just wants to enjoy the duel in front of her with all her strength.

This mentality was clearly conveyed to its companions, the lava snail and the fire camel, so they also responded with fiery "enthusiasm"!

"Beautiful, beautiful, but we can't lose here!"

Gardevoir raised its arms, and Sylveon flew into the air. Both sides released telekinesis at the same time, building a telekinetic shield on the body of Masked Cat...

After this series of training, Gardevoir started with special training in strengthening telekinesis from Ralts. After consulting three gym masters, he realized the changes in the form of telekinesis, and transformed the telekinesis barrier that was originally released at a fixed point into a telekinesis shield that can be attached to others to produce a more effective protective skill.

The Masked Cat stepped on the telekinetic pedal condensed in the air, and after a few ups and downs, he soared into the air and kicked directly at the surging fire tornado.

...No, in terms of visual effects, it looks more like Cat is sucked into the fire tornado rather than kicking it.

"Hmm, did you use my skills?"

Yasha immediately saw the clue. The fire tornado caused by the double fire breath itself has a certain degree of "control effect", which is probably due to some changes of the skill "Fire Vortex" incorporated into it.

For Asha, the "Fire-type Pokémon Master", this level of skill combination change is the most basic of the basics. Her tactic is to trap the opponent with a fire tornado and then quickly defeat the opponent with fierce firepower.

Because it was combined with the weather effect of a sunny day, the power of this fire tornado was amplified to a terrifying level.

However, Masked Cat relied on the protection of the telekinetic shield and rushed directly into the fire tornado!

At the same time, Lowe had already taken out the Z pure crystal and started to fight. Blazing golden flames burst out from his whole body.
