Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Lowe's fingers flexibly fiddled with the little guy's chin. After all, he had already mastered the skill of petting a cat from petting the New Leaf Cat in the past. Even though this little guy was not a cat, in Lowe's opinion, the petting techniques for these four-legged furry little guys were common.

As for the feedback from the scene, the little guy was obviously very satisfied with Lowe's technique and soon started chasing Lowe's fingers and playing.

Seeing this, the masked cat on the side also squatted on the ground, raised her chin with the word "well-behaved" written all over her face. Lowe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and used his other hand to scratch her chin.

"Okay, okay, I know you're anxious..."

With Eevee in one hand and Meowth in the other, both hands were put to use, but Kirlia on the side obviously didn't want to do it, so Lowe finally encountered this damn problem.

People only have two hands, how can they masturbate three things at the same time?

In desperation, he could only move his hands back and forth like a windmill, moving them over the three troublesome guys.

As if he had noticed Lowe's embarrassment, Daigo on the side could not help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. Then, he immediately coughed lightly, as if to rescue Lowe, and stepped forward to speak.

"As for this child... his background is a little bit special..."

"Oh?" When this was mentioned, Lowe immediately became interested, "How do you say that?"

"Do you know the Red?"

When this name was mentioned, Lowe was immediately filled with respect. "Yes, he won the Quartz League championship at the age of ten and participated in the battle against Team Rocket as a main force. What a great hero!"

"Well, there is a Soleievite next to that Red. That kid was once a test subject of Team Rocket and was forced to evolve. In the end, he was rescued by Red and became Red's partner. After that, he evolved into Soleievite and became a powerful partner beside Red!"

At this point, Lowe immediately anticipated something, "...So that means..."

"Well, this child... is the child of the Sun Eevee next to Red!"

Oh my god, he is from a famous family!

Upon hearing this, Lowe once again stood in awe and couldn't help but add a bit of solemnity to the way he stroked Ibrahimovic, as he came from a distinguished family!

"Team Rocket conducted a cruel experiment on that Eevee. Although it was rescued by Red and came out of the shadow under her care, the experiment still left some effects on Eevee. Although it evolved into a Sun Eevee, the effects have been basically eliminated, but... the effects have been inherited by her children..."

Hearing this, Lowe could only shake his head helplessly. Team Rocket was indeed a useless team. Although there was a famous funny group under their name, they were a minority after all. Most of the members of Team Rocket were not good people. They were worthy of being the designated villains of the series.

"So, what exactly is the impact?"

"There is some kind of mysterious evolution factor left in this child, and this evolution factor is repelled by the evolution stone. In other words, the evolution stone cannot be used to make this child evolve..."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Several classic evolutionary forms of Eevee all require the use of evolution stones to evolve. If evolution stones are rejected, it will indeed be a big obstacle.

"We found that the evolutionary factor left in this child's body seems to be very similar to the special attribute 'fairy' that we recently discovered..."

Pokémon have different attributes, and with continuous research and classification, new attributes are constantly being discovered and defined, such as "fairy attribute". In fact, Pokémon with fairy attributes are not uncommon, but it has only recently been classified as an independent attribute from these Pokémon.

For example, Kirlia who is beside Lowe, has always been considered a psychic-type Pokémon in the past, until it was recently confirmed that she has fairy-type attributes in her body.

"So far, we haven't found any evolutionary branches of Eevee with the 'Fairy' attribute, so it's still completely unknown what this child will look like..."

"?"

In this timeline, has the evolutionary branch of Sylveon not been discovered yet?

Well, Sylveon, like Sol and Umbreon, requires intimacy as a condition for evolution, so there can be no wild populations and it can only be born through the cultivation of Pokémon trainers.

Although it sounds ridiculous, if the correct breeding method is not mastered, it is indeed possible that the evolutionary branch of Sylveon has not been discovered until now.

There are too many mysteries about Eevee, and no one can say whether new Eevee evolution branches with new attributes will be discovered in the future.

"That's why I hope to find a trainer with potential to be this kid's partner. What do you think, Lowe?"

Without any hesitation, Lowe immediately replied with a smile, "No problem, I will definitely train this child well, that's it~"

Chapter 66: Fighting Gym

Since the other party thought so highly of him and was willing to give the Ibrahimovic to him, of course Lowe agreed without hesitation.

After all, Lowe himself likes Ibrahimovic very much, and the little guy seems to have a good first impression of Lowe, so the two sides quickly became familiar with each other.

However, the problem of two hands began to emerge. Lowe felt that he needed to consider that human beings’ souls could not be bound by two hands. A voice suddenly emerged in his mind.

You useless thing, don’t you still have a tongue?!

Okay, let’s put this thought aside for now. After getting rid of the Ultimate Beasts, Daigo immediately took action to seal the Ultimate Hole.

"...Can it be closed?"

Lowe watched Daigo command the Armored Bird to seal the Ultra Hole with one wing, and Daigo nodded in response.

"Yes, but it requires special tools. These three years are not without results. It's just a pity that there are not many tools to seal the Ultimate Hole."

Now only Daigo's Armored Bird carries this item. After hearing this, Lowe thought of another question.

"If Ultra Beasts are also considered Pokémon, then can't we capture them?"

After all, the strength of the Ultra Beasts is also considerable. If they are really a kind of Pokémon, then they can naturally be captured. However, Daigo continued to shake his head.

"No, the current Poké Balls are unable to capture Ultra Beasts. However, there is indeed a capture reaction, but the success rate is very low. Even with the advanced balls, there is no record of successful capture..."

As for the advanced balls and above, the only one with a higher capture rate is the legendary Master Ball with a 100% capture rate, but this thing is too rare, and Silver Company has only produced less than a handful so far.

All of these moves were accomplished by various "coincidences", and most of the Master Balls were failures.

No one knows why the final yield is so low when it is the same manufacturing process and every step is strictly controlled.

Even in terms of production rate, I'm afraid the few successful ones are the real "accidental failure products", while the ones that fail stably are the results that should be expected in theory.

So far, the few Master Balls have been used for scientific research purposes, trying to understand the technical key to success. Unfortunately, the results have been quite poor so far. For a long time, the Master Ball will probably only be a scientific research tool.

The Master Ball does not count. The Advanced Ball is the Poké Ball with the highest capture rate under normal circumstances, but the Advanced Ball still cannot capture Ultra Beasts.

If the opponent is not a Pokémon, then this situation can be understood, but according to the feedback from a few trainers who have tried to capture Ultra Beasts, the Poké Ball can indeed produce a capture reaction.

Simply put, objects that can be captured will be put into the Poké Ball and trigger the indicator light on the Poké Ball. If the indicator light flashes three times and the Pokémon does not break free, it is considered a successful capture.

The flashing of this indicator light means the capture reaction, and the Ultra Beast can indeed trigger the capture reaction.

"The Alliance and Silver Company are now working together to make a great effort to produce Poké Balls that can capture Ultra Beasts. The first batch of trial products has been put on the assembly line and will be ready soon. When the time comes... they will be distributed to the trainers who are responsible for handling related matters..."

At this point, Daigo patted Lowe on the shoulder and said, "How about you come and help me when the time comes?"

"Haha, I'm happy to do that~"

Lowe nodded affirmatively. So far, the situation in the ruins cave had come to an end. The reaction of the Ultimate Cave had disappeared, so naturally, archaeologists could continue to be arranged to excavate the murals.

"So……"

Over there, Fujishu and his Pokémon dealt with the Ultra Beast Explosive, and they seemed to be in high spirits at the moment.

"...We've finished warming up here, and it's almost time for dinner. How do you think?"

"Well, there's absolutely no problem here either!"

Lowe checked the status of Kirlia and Catman and confirmed that they were both in excellent condition. Seeing that Lowe and Fujiki were so motivated, Daigo became interested and spoke with interest, touching his chin.

"Now that you've seen it, please let me watch~"

He had previously accepted commissions from the alliance and that "bad friend" and had been dealing with a bunch of matters continuously. Now that the things at hand had come to an end, it would be natural for him to take a short break.

On the other hand, Lowe is currently considered the most talented newcomer in the Hoenn region, so this matchup itself will definitely be very interesting.

"Well, there's no need to go back to the gym, let's just stay here... my 'secret base'~"

As Fujishu said this, he pointed to the depths of the ruins cave. According to him, that was his training ground where he often practiced with his Pokémon partners.

The depths of the cave were spacious and open enough to rival the fighting arena in the gym. As for the referee... Fujiki looked directly at Daigo...

“…I’ll just trouble Daigo, is that ok?”

"Of course~"

Daigo gladly took over the refereeing job, walked between Lowe and Fujiki, and took two steps back to make enough space for the two.

"How many Pokémon are you planning to send into battle?"

In response to Fujiki's question, Lowe calmly gestured to Chirulia and Kamen Meow, "Just send them up. After all, Eevee hasn't been trained yet~"

Lowe held Eevee in his arms. This was originally the position for Neoleaf, but after all, with Catmene's current physique, it was indeed difficult for Lowe to hold it up, and Catmene seemed to prefer sticking to Lowe.

But even so, Masked Cat was still a little unhappy that his former position was replaced by someone else.

All we can say is that the relationship between the partners will be slowly reconciled in the future. After all, in Masked Cat's original expectation, there was no need for anyone else around Lowe, and she was enough.

But when facing Du Juan before... and more importantly, when facing Huo Yan later, Masked Cat also discovered with frustration that it seemed that just her alone was not enough.

It’s okay with Du Juan, after all, gym battles should be limited to a certain point, but the battle with Huo Yan could really be dangerous if not handled properly.

Not to mention that as the journey continues, there will definitely be many conflicts with other wild Pokémon.

If Lowe gets hurt because of his willfulness, Masked Cat will never allow it.

Therefore, even though she was unhappy, she could only accept the fact that Lowe needed the strength of others...

In short, Eevee has just joined and has not experienced even a minute of fighting, so he naturally cannot be sent into the field. Therefore, Lowe is going to send out Catelyn and Chirulia.

In response, Fujiki nodded decisively.

"Okay, then it's two on two. Then...Mr. Fujiki, the gym leader of the Butou Town, please give me your guidance!"

Chapter 67 This time it's a reckless

Daigo raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the armored bird beside him immediately cooperated by rubbing its wings together. The metallic feathers collided with each other, making a crisp trill, like ringing a bell on the ring.

As the tremolo sounded, Lowe and Tengshu took up their positions at the same time. Two figures jumped up from beside them at the same time. There was a sonic boom that broke through the air, and a visible air wave burst out when the two figures collided.

Fujiki used his super strength, and Lowe's first choice was naturally his most trusted Masked Cat...

The fists and claws swung by the two collided directly with each other, and the heavy punches hit each other, shaking as if the surrounding air was trembling.
