Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"..."

...No, that's it?

Okay, there wasn't much for Lowe to say. After all, according to the rules of the Pokémon world, there were no weak Pokémon, only incompetent trainers. As long as you had the ability, even the most common Pokémon could be trained to be very powerful.

Therefore, Lowe calmed down and gave the order directly...

"A flash of lightning~"

Chapter 28: You fell down before I even used any strength?

"A flash of lightning!"

As soon as Lowe gave the order, before he finished speaking, the New Leaf Cat turned into a shadow and pounced forward. Seeing this, the other side also hurriedly commanded the coyote dog in a panic.

"Bite!"

The coyote opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and pounced fiercely at the afterimage in front of it, but there was no doubt that it missed the target and the bite was in vain, and its own teeth were hurt by the shock.

As for the New Leaf Cat on Lowe's side, with a flash of lightning, it rubbed its claws on the ground, using a combination of lightning flash and claw grinding. It quickly went behind the coyote and hit it hard with one strike.

Then, New Leaf Cat's claws popped out, ready to make another attack.

However, just as Xinye Miao was about to raise her paw to attack, she found that the coyote she had knocked flying was already upside down, with half of its head buried in the ground, and it kicked its legs and pretended to be dead...

"..."

At this moment, the atmosphere immediately turned cold again. Lowe looked at the Marine Team minions in front of him, and that guy also looked at his coyote dog with a confused look on his face.

“…Do you want to continue?”

Lowe did not kill Xinye Cat. After all, this situation was really unnecessary. He did not expect that Xinye Cat's flash of electricity was just a feint, the purpose of which was just to dodge the opponent's attack and sharpen its claws to increase its attack power.

Then came the real offensive, but he didn't expect that the coyote dog couldn't even take his feint attack. It actually fell down after being hit by the feint, which was really a shame.

Such a poor performance naturally made Lowe laugh and cry, and he immediately figured something out.

To put it bluntly, the members of this kind of villain organization, maybe the cadres and leaders still have some combat capability, and they can be considered elite trainers, and may even have the strength of gym masters.

However, those minions at the bottom are most likely the type that cannot even pass the test of the Pokémon Academy. After all, if they can really pass the test of the Pokémon Academy, going directly to the Research Institute to obtain the initial Pokémon, and then registering with the League, wouldn’t it be more promising than following these villains?

Even if you fail the test of the Pokémon Academy, it does not mean that you cannot become a trainer. Take for example those insect catchers and the miniskirt lady you met before. These people actually did not pass the test of the Pokémon Academy, and their first Pokémon were all street pets obtained through various means.

But even so, if they get a pet from the roadside and train it carefully, they can also challenge the gym. As long as they can get even one badge, they can be recognized by the league and register as regular trainers.

As for challenging gyms... at least challenging a gym is not that difficult. The first gym is at the level of a novice village, and anyone with a little experience in Pokémon battles can pass it.

There are many ways to become a trainer in this world. Pokémon Academy is the most direct one. It is like compulsory education. Everyone can participate. But it is true that not everyone can get into college. But it does not mean that if you cannot get into college, you cannot have a decent job...

Again, the largest organization in this world is the Pokémon League. Unless you are the boss or cadre of a villain organization, you may have some personal pursuits.

As for the general minions, to put it bluntly, they were just wiped out by the Alliance and couldn't get any partner Pokémon at all. They were also unwilling to work hard on their own and make up for their shortcomings with hard work. In the end, they chose to join these villain organizations to live out their days. One can imagine their own quality.

As for a regular trainer like Lowe, they naturally look down upon them...

Who would be interested in being a lackey for a villain organization when you can join the Pokémon League and become a formal trainer? Will you get paid? Will you be covered by five social insurances and one housing fund? More importantly, will you have a formal position?

Obviously that is not the case. After all, as mentioned before, the boss of the Rockets has to rely on the league to get a job. The boss is like this, do you still expect the same treatment as your younger brother?

To sum up, these minions are no match for regular trainers in most cases, so it is understandable that they are defeated by Rowe in the first encounter.

Faced with Lowe's question "Do you want to continue?", the minion on the opposite side changed his expression several times. After thinking for a while, he took out the Poké Ball and took back his Coyote.

"No, don't think that this will get you away. If you dare to cause trouble for our Ocean Team, the boss will not let you go. Just wait!"

After saying this, the other party turned around and ran away. From the other party's determined back, Lowe came to a conclusion...

...It seems that they may really get paid, and pay five insurances and one fund.

Over there, Xinye Cat raised her paw in a daze, with a look of pain on her face, as if saying, "I haven't even put in any effort yet, and you've fallen down?"

"Great, great!" The uncle who was saved immediately stepped forward with a look of joy and complimented, "I didn't expect it was so easy to drive that guy away, you are really amazing!"

"...No, I didn't expect it would be so easy to drive him away. It's not that I'm strong, it's that he's too weak."

"Hahaha, you are so modest..."

"...So I'm not being modest. Oh, never mind. Say whatever you want."

Lowe was too lazy to explain anything, and the uncle fumbled and took out a blue and white Poké Ball.

"This is the agreed reward. If you are a trainer, you will definitely need it~"

Lowe recognized it immediately. It was a Ultra Ball, which had a higher capture success rate than the ordinary red and white Poké Balls. Normally, only senior trainers registered with the League were qualified to purchase and use it. This uncle was not even a trainer, so he must have obtained this Ultra Ball through other means.

For trainers, having a Poké Ball with a higher capture rate is naturally useful. After all, for Lowe, the difficulty of this attack is even less than that of dealing with Dragonite before. At least there is no Ralts to help, and it might take a while.

For his opponent who was defeated in seconds upon first encounter, Lowe felt a little embarrassed to take the reward, and naturally he had no complaints.

After receiving the super ball, the uncle decisively turned around and left. He probably wanted to report the situation here to the "company". From the conversation with the Ocean Team just now, it has been confirmed that the uncle is from Dewen Company.

The headquarters of Devin Company is in Kanaz City. Obviously, the uncle is from Kanaz and must be more familiar with the nearby roads than Lowe. In addition, Lowe also planned to continue strolling around the Orange Forest, so he did not go the same way with the uncle. After adding the uncle's number, he waved goodbye.

After watching the uncle leave, Lowe patted Xinye Miao's head. The little guy still seemed a little confused.

"Haha, do you think it's over without satisfying yourself? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. When we get to Kanaz City, you'll have your chance to show off. Well, we've almost finished cleaning up here... Let's continue on our way~"

Chapter 29 Why are you here? !

Let’s continue…

At this moment, it was less than two hours' journey to Kanaz City. Lowe saw that it was almost noon. At this speed, he would definitely reach the destination in the afternoon. He immediately planned to find a place to have lunch before continuing on his journey.

Glancing around, Lowe saw a shadow formed by intertwined tree branches, which seemed to be suitable for a lunch break.

At that moment, Lowe called New Leaf Cat and Lalulas to step forward. However, just as he was about to take a step, Lalulas suddenly stretched out his little hand and pulled Lowe's trouser leg.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Lowe immediately bent down and stretched out his hand. Lalulas placed his palm in Lowe's palm, and telepathy was immediately activated.

I can only say that this ability is indeed very convenient. Trainers can already clearly read the meaning of most of their Pokémon's behaviors, and with telepathy, it will naturally be smoother.

Although Lalulas's telepathy was not very proficient at the beginning, after several attempts, it has become much smoother than at the beginning.

From Lalulas's telepathy, Lowe understood what she wanted to express.

There was something hiding behind the shadow over there, and the other person seemed to be injured. And not far away, she felt a breath that made her quite uneasy.

"Oh?"

The uneasy atmosphere represented danger. Logically, Lowe should have avoided it immediately, but he noticed that someone was injured. Thinking of this, Lowe decided to go over and take a look. If the situation was not right, the worst that could happen was that he would let Lalulas activate instant movement and run away.

"Notice……"

Lowe made a gesture to Xinye Miao, who understood what he meant and immediately stretched out his claws and took a stance, looking alert and ready to take action at any time.

Lowe cautiously took steps in the direction indicated by Lalulas. After taking two steps, he saw a figure lying in the grass over there.

Lowe pushed aside the bushes and took a look, and was stunned for a moment.

Over there, a young girl in a long dress with waist-length blonde hair fainted in the grass.

Well, if it was just a girl like this, there would be no big problem. The problem was that Lowe recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

"Liliae? Why is she in Hoenn?"

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

When Lowe was confused, he saw a shoulder bag thrown aside by the girl. The bag seemed to be shaking slightly, as if there was some living thing hidden inside.

"..."

Okay, now Lowe was sure that he had most likely not recognized the wrong person. As for what was in the bag, Lowe also had a rough idea.

But why was Liliae unconscious here?

Thinking of this, Lowe's eyes wandered, and soon he saw a purple bruise on Liliae's calf, which was even swollen. Lowe immediately figured out the cause based on this situation.

"This is a sign of poisoning. Could it be that he was attacked by a poisonous Pokémon in the forest?"

This is not that strange. After all, there are indeed many bug-type Pokémon in the Orange Forest, and the most common bug-type Pokémon here, Thornier, has mastered the poison needle skill.

Although the power of the poison needle skill is mediocre for Pokémon, there is a chance that the target will be poisoned. Even Pokémon will feel very uncomfortable if they are accidentally poisoned. If humans are poisoned by Pokémon, it is not surprising that they will run out of energy and fall into a coma.

Therefore, in most wild areas, there will be Pokémon rescue teams or rangers patrolling regularly. If they find injured and incapacitated trainers, they will provide emergency treatment and then escort them to the nearest Pokémon for treatment.

Since the medical level in this world is quite amazing, even though there are a large number of wild Pokémon in the wild that are very dangerous, in most cases, ordinary people who are attacked will be rescued in time by the rescue team, so there are not many people who actually die.

It seems that Liliae has not been unconscious here for long, otherwise she would have been found by the rescue team and sent to the Pokémon Center in Kanaz City.

Unexpectedly, Lowe happened to run into it. Now that he saw it, he certainly couldn't ignore it.

"Tsk, I didn't bring the antidote..."

Lowe rummaged through his backpack and realized that he had not prepared any potion to remove the abnormal state. He could not help but pat his forehead. It turned out that the newcomer was too inexperienced and had forgotten such an important thing. It seemed that he had to replenish the stock in this regard after arriving in Kanaz City.

However, the most urgent task is to rescue Liliae first. Fortunately, the knowledge related to Pokémon is online at this time, and Lowe immediately calls New Leaf Cat.

"...Xinye, meow, go check nearby to see if there are any 'Sweet Peach' fruits..."

Sweet peaches, or peach fruits, are tree fruits that can remove the "poison" and "highly toxic" states. If you don't carry antidotes in the wild, this wild fruit can be used as a substitute.

As a Grass-type Pokémon, Neoleaf can find various fruits and herbs more easily than ordinary people. She agreed and immediately ran away. However, after more than ten minutes, she ran over with two plump, round, pink and white fruits in her mouth.

Even from a distance, one could smell the sweet aroma coming from the fruit. It was obviously the sweet peach that Lowe needed.

Xinye Miao ran to Lowe and put down the sweet peach fruit, raising her chin with a proud look on her face, with an expression that said "Come and praise me". Lowe naturally smiled and reached out to scratch her chin.

"Well, that's amazing~"

After saying that, Lowe picked up the peach and started to prepare to save people. He checked carefully and found that Liliae only had bruises on her calf, which seemed to be the place where she was attacked.

Lowe took out a sweet peach, carefully squeezed out the juice and applied it to the wound, then mashed the pulp and applied it to the wound with gauze.

After bandaging it, he picked up another sweet peach, peeled it, carefully cut the flesh into small pieces, and then brought it to Lilia's lips.
