Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

He was hit by a Z move from the outside, and then by the uncontrollable explosion of the violent energy in his body from the inside. As a result, he was attacked from both inside and outside, and the result was that a ball of brilliant fire exploded directly in the air.

A coal turtle with its whole body on fire fell from the sky and smashed a deep pit of several meters in radius on the ground. Fortunately, it was a fire-type creature and had a strong resistance to fire damage, so the internal explosion only took half of its life.

But even so, it is obvious that it has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the coal turtle had completely lost its ability to move, Lowe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the tactic was successful in the last few seconds, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

"Well, can you surrender now?"

Lowe looked at Huoyan in front of him, but the latter lowered her head slightly, so the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.

"You hate trouble, right? Well, I'll return what you just said to you. Just admit defeat and we'll let this matter pass..."

However, as soon as Lowe finished speaking, Huoyan raised her head again. When Lowe saw the expression on her face, he was stunned for a moment.

This woman...actually laughed in this situation?

Moreover, she had clearly been an indifferent and lazy girl before, but at this moment, the corners of her mouth were raised all the way, and she showed a crazy smile, which was completely different from the lazy look just now.

At first, she seemed to be trying to cover her smile with her hands, but in the end she found that this action seemed to be useless, and her light smile turned into a crazy laugh...

"Haha, I hate trouble because I know I have a terrible personality. Do you understand what I mean? If I get excited, even I will feel like I can't end it..."

Because she knew very well that she had such a bad character that she could easily get angry, she deliberately controlled her temper and always acted lazy.

"Back to the beginning, I'm suddenly very interested in you now~"

She raised her hand and took the third Poké Ball from her waist. Lowe couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Did she still have Pokémon that could fight? Wasn't the Coal Turtle her trump card?

If that's the case, then why didn't they send him out just now, or...

"This kid is just like me. I can't control my temper and strength very well. That's why I usually don't like to send him into battle. But..."

She stopped talking halfway, reached out and pressed her right ear, and a mechanical sound came from a device that looked like an earring on her right ear.

"The plan has changed. Retreat now, Huoyan..."

"boss?"

Huoyan, who had been completely aroused by Lowe and was ready to give his all, couldn't help but sigh when he heard that voice.

"Yes, I understand~" After she finished speaking, she spread her hands helplessly, "Hey, it's rare that I'm excited. What an unreasonable boss. There's nothing I can do. After all, the boss has spoken, right~"

"Want to run?"

"Haha, don't make the mistake~" Huoyan blew a kiss in Lowe's direction, "...I just let you go. I hope that next time we meet, you can still excite me. If so, I will let you feel your sister's 'passion', interesting little brother~"

Leaving these words behind, she raised her hand and threw out a palm-sized black sphere. Before Lowe could react, the sphere suddenly collapsed, and fire and smoke mixed with brilliant flashes burst out.

"Flash bomb?"

Luo Wei was dazzled and turned his head away subconsciously. When he looked back again, there was no trace of the other party in front of him...

“…You run fast.”

However, even though that is what she said, if the opponent is not bluffing and she really has a Pokémon of the same level as Coaltur, then Lowe may not be able to defeat her.

After all, the Z move has been used, and Lowe has no other cards in his hand... It's hard to say what will happen if a real fight breaks out.

Therefore, the enemy retreated like this, and at least the warehouse was saved. In a sense, this was the best outcome...

After Huoyan left, the battlefield on the other side also quieted down. It seemed that the victory was decided on Du Juan's side. It was estimated that Du Juan won. In short, judging from the fact that the opponent retreated, at least she did not lose...

Just as Luo Wei was thinking about how to meet up with Du Juan, he heard the voice of an old man...

"...Ahem, are you done yet?"

Chapter 53: Old Man Hatch

"Ahem, are you done yet?"

The battle here came to an end, and Lowe heard the voice of an old man.

"Who?"

The fight was fierce just now, and Lowe didn't have the extra energy to distract himself and take care of other things. Now that the fight was over, he realized that there were other people in the dark...

Could it be that Huoyan didn't notice this old man either?

Luo Wei thought about it and suddenly felt that if it was Huoyan, it was very likely that even if she found the old man, she would probably choose to pretend not to see him, as long as the old man did not show up on his own initiative.

But no matter what, as long as the battle is not over, the situation just now cannot be said to be safe in any way.

In the darkness, the old man appeared. He was a bald old man who looked quite strong. In his arms, he was holding a shivering long-winged gull.

"..."

At this moment, Lowe probably guessed the old man's identity. Sure enough, when the old man saw that the matter was settled, he immediately showed a calm smile.

"Ahem, the old man's name is Hutch, thank you for saving me and Xiaopi..."

"Well, actually if you just hide, that person probably won't bother you. Well, forget it..."

After all, no matter what, it was Lowe who drove away Huoyan, which prevented the situation from getting worse. The question is, why did this old man Hatch appear in the warehouse of the factory in the mining area?

Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden loud noise, and the rocks blocking the road behind him were dug open by a figure. It was Du Juan's giant rock snake.

It seems that after the battle over there ended, Du Juan, who had freed up her hands, immediately took action to clear the way in order to determine the situation here.

"Are you all right, Lowe? Um... is Mr. Hatch here too?"

Du Juan seemed to know old man Hatch, and old man Hatch nodded with a smile, "Yes, I was originally invited by Dewen Company to come and take a look at 'that', ahem, I didn't expect to encounter this matter..."

When Lowe heard this, he immediately understood that old man Hatch was an experienced captain. Devon Company and Kusnogi Shipyard had jointly designed a new product. Since the shipyard was involved, it was obvious that the things to be built were probably related to ships.

Therefore, as the most experienced old captain nearby, old man Hatch, who has been dealing with ships all his life, was naturally invited to serve as a technical consultant.

Today is the day when the product is to be delivered, so as a technical consultant, Mr. Hatch will naturally be present to be responsible for product acceptance.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Lava Team's attack at this world point. Of course, this might be because there was a traitor here who exposed the clues in advance.

This is not surprising. The other party clearly chose this time to come and want to reap the benefits.

However, due to some unknown accident, the other side retreated.

"What happened on the other side?"

Luo Wei went to ask Du Juan, and the latter casually threw out a torn "arm".

"Oh..."

Lowe saw clearly that the "arm" was not made of flesh and blood, but a mechanical arm made of metal.

"This is the 'person' opposite. He is not the real person at all. He is just a bionic robot wearing a cloak..."

As for the opponent's true form, it was probably thousands of miles away, commanding Pokémon and Du Juan to fight through remote control. However, just when the fight between the two sides was getting intense, the opponent's robot puppet suddenly lost control.

Without the trainer's command, his Pokémon naturally could not display their full strength, and were suppressed by Du Juan in the battle.

"...That person is really powerful. If it weren't for this, I might not have been able to decide the winner so quickly."

At this point, Du Juan paused, hiding a sentence that she didn't say out loud. In fact, if the opponent hadn't suddenly disconnected for unknown reasons, Du Juan even suspected that she might not be able to beat the opponent.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the one singled out by the alliance for special care. His strength is indeed formidable, and even Du Juan, the gym master, is no match for him.

However, because the opponent suddenly lost the connection, the Pokémon lost its command and was instantly suppressed by Du Juan. Another cadre present at the time, Hucun, realized that something was wrong and seemed to have received a remote order from his boss. He immediately put away his Pokémon and chose to run away.

The reason is very simple. The opposing boss has been defeated, and Huocun and Huoyan who are left behind are naturally no match for Du Juan.

Then there would be no chance of success if they continued, so they naturally had to escape before being caught. The failure of the plan was already a foregone conclusion, and if two more cadres were to be killed, it would not be worth it.

After all, judging from the current situation, the only ones who can fight from the Lava Team are the boss and two cadres, and the rest of the brothers are just making up the numbers. If one cadre is lost, it will be a huge loss of manpower.

Therefore, seeing that the plan was about to fail, there was certainly no need to fight to the death. The only thing to do was to save the manpower first and then think of other ways to remedy the situation.

"The goal of these guys is clear, so I'm afraid there will be further actions in the future. It looks like we'll be busy in the future..."

Du Juan sighed like this, but she was not sighing because she had to be busy, but because she had finally solved the problem of Team Rocket and thought she could have a peaceful life for a while, but immediately this evil organization came out to cause trouble.

What a bleak future...

As for Lowe, he just wanted to say, be content. With the combat power level in the Pokémon world, the celestial map can be changed and time and space can be redrawn in a minute. It is already quite stable to cause such a mess...

If you were to change the set, there would be a lot of idiots running around...

In short, the incident here has come to an end. Lowe knows what will happen next, but now he has more important things to do.

"Congratulations, congratulations~"

Lowe opened his arms and hugged Kirlia and Meowth in his arms, one on the left and one on the right. He originally wanted to celebrate Meowth's evolution, but was interrupted by an unexpected situation. Now Kirlia has also evolved, so it's a double happiness.

The evolution of Masked Cat is not unexpected. After all, Lowe had already determined that Masked Cat could evolve, but he had been suppressing it.

But Kirlia's evolution was an unexpected surprise, which made Lowe in a good mood.

After the battle, it was natural for them to go to the Pokémon Center to recuperate. Lowe also had to pay the "reward" he had promised to Catmeng.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center. Um, Teacher Du Juan, if there is anything else after that..."

Lowe took out his navigator. Seeing this, Du Juan also took out her own navigator and exchanged numbers with Lowe.

...Now that we have dealt with the Lava Team here, the Devin Company should come to us to trigger the next plot, so Lowe just needs to wait.

He didn't stop when he had some free time, and he went straight to the Pokémon Center with Kirlia and Masked Meowth...

Chapter 54: It’s all my damn inner demon’s fault!

The matters at hand have finally come to a temporary end. Who would have thought that I had only come here to challenge the first gym, but ended up with so many complications, and ended up having to fight so many battles in a row.

At least they won anyway. Even if the outcome of the final battle against Huoyan is still debatable, at least the villain ran away on her own, so it can be considered a win for Lowe.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Lowe finally had the chance to celebrate the evolution of his Pokémon.

The first one is naturally the Masked Cat. Originally, the New Leaf Cat had followed Lowe for six years, and the accumulated experience points were enough for evolution. It was just that it was suppressed by Lowe all the way, just like weight training, allowing the New Leaf Cat to accumulate strength.

Finally, with the help of this opportunity, the evolution was completed smoothly, so this was actually not unexpected.

But the evolution of Laltlas into Kirlia was a pleasant surprise. In short, after arriving at the Pokémon Center, Lowe naturally asked Miss Joy to help with the treatment first.
