Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

The story begins in the Hoenn region, then goes back to the Kanto region and the Johto region, and then follows the versions all the way until the XY era of 3DS. Lowe has graduated from university and started working officially. He immediately and decisively switched to the official version and went back to complete the pirated copies one by one.

Throughout the development of this series, every main work is worth playing over and over again for Lowe, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if he has to choose a favorite version, it would undoubtedly be the three-color gem version.

Not only because this version itself has a good expansion community, most of the revised versions circulating in China today are modified based on this version, and also because this is the first work in the series that Lowe has contacted.

He had walked on this land called "Hoenn" for countless days and nights, so naturally he had deeper feelings for it than in other versions.

And now, he was standing here... standing on this familiar yet strange land...

On another twelfth birthday, Lowe and his mother moved to a small town called Mobai Town to start a new life because of his father's job transfer.

Just like his twelve-year-old birthday in his previous life, Lowe received a GBA as a birthday present. The moment he couldn't wait to insert the cartridge and enter the game, the scene appeared in front of him.

Welcome to Mobai Town, where the adventure begins!

If you have played the Gem version, you will naturally know that Mobai Town is the town where the protagonist is located at the beginning of the game, and it is also the novice village where the game starts.

The reason why Lowe and his mother moved was because of his father's job transfer. Half a year ago, Lowe's father passed the certification of the "Pokémon League" and obtained the qualification of "Gym Master", which is a title only awarded to trainers who have cultivated Pokémon of a certain attribute to the "master" level.

Normally, there are only eight of them in a region, and above them are the Four Heavenly Kings who guard the alliance, and there is only one "champion" in the entire region, representing the peak combat power of the entire region...

The gym leader, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the champion are basically the characters and goals that all trainers in this world admire. As the son of a gym leader, he can be considered a standard "rich second generation" in this world...

...Of course, this is actually not a big deal, because the world of Pokémon itself is a standard utopia, a world that dares to allow ten-year-old children to travel alone. It is a bit inappropriate to describe it as a utopia. It is simply a fairy tale.

Of course, even in the fairy tale world there are villains with bad intentions, but they will basically be easily dealt with by the protagonist in a few moves. Even if they can cause a major disaster in the crisis world, they can basically be properly resolved in the end, and everyone will survive in GE...

To be honest, if we want to rank the most suitable person to reincarnate into another world, it is not surprising to ensure that the top five in the Pokémon world are stable and strive for the top three. With a little vote increase, it is not surprising to win the championship...

Living in such a world, it really doesn’t matter whether you are a rich second generation or not. It is true that richer people live better, but ordinary people in this world do not live badly either.

At least you don't have to struggle for life and can pursue your dreams to your heart's content. Even if you are a young and inexperienced person and say that your dream is to become a Pokémon master, no one will laugh at you. Your family may even support you in becoming a Pokémon trainer.

What kind of fairy world is this? If in the original world, a primary school student jumped out and said that he wanted to become a world champion and said that he was going out to pursue his dream, his father would have to sever the father-son relationship with him on the spot.

So, Lowe has lived here for twelve years, and almost everyone he meets looks much younger than their actual age.

Maybe it’s because we live in such a gentle world, with little pressure and naturally feel at ease, so our youthful mentality is reflected in our appearance.

Anyway, I am speaking seriously, so you should listen seriously...

...And the reason why people in this world can be so happy is of course inseparable from the magical existence called Pokémon, that is, Lowe's partner Neomeow, and the strange force who is helping with the move at this moment.

A whole truckload of furniture and luggage was moved down and placed in less than ten minutes. If it were a human, this would be considered very high-intensity physical labor, but for a Pokémon like Super Strength, it was as easy as a warm-up.

There is no way. Four arms are indeed more convenient than two arms, not to mention that Pokémon are far more powerful than humans.

With such a powerful partner, many tasks that were originally quite dangerous and difficult can be easily completed by Pokémon. Under the training of trainers, Pokémon can also have higher levels and higher attributes (effort value bonus) than wild Pokémon...

Research has even proven that... human emotions and the bond between humans and Pokémon can unleash the hidden potential of Pokémon and gain greater power.

In this way, Pokémon bred by humans can have a larger population than wild Pokémon, and thus reproduce better...

In short, humans and Pokémon rely on each other, live together for a long time, and eventually create this utopian fairy tale world.

With the help of the strong men, the moving work was completed quickly. Lowe did the entire work by himself, except for calibrating the time on the wall clock in his room on the second floor.

During this period, Xinye cat was lying alone on Lowe's bed. The sun shone in through the window. The little guy was leisurely basking in the sun and rolling around on Lowe's bed. It was so cute that people couldn't help but want to take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments, with the caption "The bed was taken away by the master. What should I do? Waiting online, it's urgent" and at least 2,000 likes...

Although it looks like it is sleeping in, as a grass-type Pokémon, Neoleaf can absorb nutrients through photosynthesis. At the same time, after absorbing sunlight, its fur can release fresh air to purify the surrounding environment.

So in a sense, she served as an air purifier~

"Okay, it's settled~"

After Lowe cleaned up the room, he took out a set of brushes of various sizes and shapes from his luggage. Seeing this, Xinye Cat immediately became excited.

The little girl stretched her soft body on the spot and stretched herself lazily. Then she walked gracefully to Lowe, lay down defenselessly, revealing her soft belly, and let Lowe comb her hair.

As a cat, New Leaf Cat pays great attention to personal affection and spends at least an hour every day combing its hair.

Her willingness to let her trainer, Lowe, comb her hair personally was a manifestation of extreme trust, even though it actually resulted from an accident.

To put it simply, one day, Lowe was in a state of pain and used a wet towel to wipe back the fur that New Leaf Cat had just licked...

...So the facts tell us that the trainer cannot be idle, otherwise one of the trainers and Pokémon will go crazy.

Afterwards, Lowe was chased and bitten by Xinye Cat for a whole day. He had to coax and apologize... and Lowe also combed Xinye Cat's fur himself, and the matter was finally over.

However, because of this incident, Xinye Cat seemed to be quite satisfied with Lowe's craftsmanship, so he "appointed" Lowe as a professional "hair combing officer". From then on, Xinye Cat never combed its hair by itself.

Lowe skillfully manipulated brushes of all sizes, tweezers, and small scissors to carefully groom New Leaf Cat's hair, trimming off split ends and uneven parts, gently plucking out some stray hair, and then grooming it carefully with a brush.

During this process, New Leaf Cat seemed to be enjoying Lowe's care very comfortably. After all, just like it is impossible for a person to reach around his back and touch his belly button, some things still need to be done by others, such as back scrubbing...

No matter how carefully a New Leaf cat takes care of its hair, there are bound to be some places that it fails to take care of, but Lowe can take care of it carefully from head to toe.

Therefore, Lowe was well aware of the subtle physical changes in the little guy. For example, at this moment Lowe gently pinched the little guy's belly with his fingers and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, that soft thing on my belly is all meat. I've gained a lot of weight recently~"

As a result, as soon as these words came out, the little guy who had been lying there leisurely rolling around suddenly started to frighten away, and quickly broke free from Lowe's fingers, glaring at Lowe angrily.

"Haha, sorry sorry~"

Seeing this, Lowe knew very well that Pokémon themselves have a high intelligence that is definitely not inferior to humans, and can clearly understand human language and the meaning contained therein. Even if they cannot speak, Pokémon trainers can clearly understand what their partner Pokémon wants to convey.

For a trainer, this is just the basics of the basics...

...As for the rare mythical Pokémon and legendary Pokémon, it is even said that they have the ability to directly connect with people's hearts and communicate with them through telepathy.

And there is no need for mythical Pokémon or legendary Pokémon. Some ordinary Pokémon can learn human language if they are willing.

So, Lowe clearly understood what Xinye Miao meant. She was obviously complaining to Lowe that she had gained weight.

Although the male-to-female ratio of the New Leaf cat population is 1 to 7, and the number of male New Leaf cats overwhelmingly exceeds that of females, Rottweiler's New Leaf cats are cute girls.

Even though Lowe had just traveled through time and space and was living with New Leaf Cat, he would still subconsciously regard her as a pet cat from his previous life. However, after living with her for several years, Lowe could clearly feel that New Leaf Cat was different from the pet cat in his previous life. It was not the relationship between master and pet...

...Trainers and Pokémon are completely equal friends and family.

So Lowe often couldn't help but joke that he seemed to have a cat girlfriend who was caring but also liked to act like a spoiled child and have a bad temper... Of course, in most cases, New Leaf Cat couldn't be said to have a bad temper, that was purely Lowe's own fault.

Just like today...

"Don't worry~ We will have many opportunities to exercise soon, and we will lose this weight quickly~"

Lowe stretched out his finger and scratched Xinye Miao's cheek. The little guy first bit Lowe angrily, then seemed reluctant to do so and licked Lowe's finger helplessly.

While Xinye Miao was quickly coaxed into submission, the mother's energetic voice was heard from downstairs.

"Lowei, come and see, Dad is on TV~"

Chapter 3: How can childhood sweethearts smell like Pokémon?

Hearing his mother's call, Lowe was suddenly startled. He quickly reached out to pick up Xinye Miao and rushed down the stairs to the first floor.

Although Lowe moved quickly enough, when he arrived at the living room, he still saw his mother shaking her head regretfully.

"Oh, what a pity that I came too late and didn't see my dad's handsome look when he defeated his opponent~"

"...It's too fast, he really is our dad!"

Lowe couldn't help but make a funny remark and turned his gaze to the TV in the living room.

The scene on TV was Devon Company's new product launch conference. In order to build momentum for the new product, Devon's president specially invited Lowe's father to have an exhibition match with the company's elite trainers to liven up the atmosphere.

To put it bluntly, this is just a very common business activity, but generally for such business activities, the invited gym leaders will certainly be polite to the organizer. After all, it's an exhibition match... the main purpose is to entertain people.

However, he happened to meet Lowe's father...

On the screen, a tall man was shown in close-up...

The man had a serious expression on his face. Even during such a lively celebration, he didn't smile much. His tough face was as sharp as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe. Although he couldn't be said to be very handsome, he looked very safe.

This person is naturally Lowe's father in this world, the new gym leader of Chenghua City, Qianli, known as the "tough guy"...

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

Just now, he easily defeated the trainer from Devon Company who came to challenge him with an overwhelming offensive like a storm. It can be said that he did not give Party A any face at all.

However, this kind of tough style is Qianli's characteristic. This kind of inhuman strength has actually earned him considerable popularity.

The audience at the scene all admired and cheered for his strength. At least in terms of heating up the atmosphere, he did it very smoothly.

Looking at his father on the screen, who was calmly accepting the filming of the cameras from all directions and had a stern face, as if no one was around, Lowe couldn't help muttering to himself.

"...He is really ridiculously strong. I don't know how much effort I will have to put in to catch up with my father."

"Haha, if dad heard you saying such depressing words, he would definitely scold you severely~"

Lowe's mother heard Lowe's mumbling and immediately replied with a smile. Lowe thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Okay, the moving is done, it's about time to go say hello to the neighbors~"

Hearing this, Lowe suddenly became energetic...

...Here comes the main storyline!

Although they had just moved to Mobai Town, the Lowe family did not have no acquaintances in the town.

Chisato's good friend, Dr. Odamaki, a Pokémon master, has his research institute in the town. Six years ago, it was through Dr. Odamaki that Lowe got his first partner.

Generally speaking, once citizens of this world reach the age of ten and have completed their studies at the Pokémon Academy, they can go to the local Pokémon Research Institute to receive their own partner Pokémon.

The initial Pokémon provided by research institutes in different regions are different, but generally they provide three types of Pokémon: water, fire, and grass for selection.

However, Lowe's situation is rather special. When he was six years old... he got his own partner Pokémon through Professor Odamaki.

The reason why they had to wait until the age of ten was mainly because the power of Pokémon was too strong, and they were worried that children would not be able to control the power of Pokémon, so they stipulated that they had to be ten years old and pass the Pokémon Academy before they could receive a partner Pokémon.

But Lowe's situation was special. Although his father was not yet a gym leader at the time, he was already a well-known elite trainer.
