Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

After getting to know her, it's only a matter of time before she makes an impression on you.

Some people are impressed by her when they first meet her, seeing her with her hands on her hips, head held high, delivering a long, cringeworthy speech. Others are impressed by her eccentric behavior after getting to know her.

As for Tian Sui... she experienced both!

She was only ten years old when she first met Bai Youyou, who was in her early twenties at the time. However, she looked about the same age as Tian Sui and was mistaken for a peer by Tian Sui.

Then......

Bai Youyou was wearing an eye patch at the time, and claimed that a Gastly that had lived for thousands of years was sealed in her covered eye. She even used a Ghost-type Pokémon to disguise herself, making Tian Sui believe that she had sealed an evil dragon in her right hand!

Tian Sui didn't want to recall how many foolish things the "Hero with the Dark Eyes" and the "Black Dragon Princess" had done during that time.

All she remembers is the feeling of her toes digging into the ground when the truth finally came out.

And every time she saw Bai Youyou after that, she felt like the memories of the past were attacking her!

Ironically, this old woman was not ashamed of this incident at all; on the contrary, she thought the original idea was quite cool and would tell others about it from time to time, making Tian Sui feel like he was being hurt twice over each time.

Besides that, this old woman did other things.

For example, she 'kindly' mixed laxatives into the sleeping pills she prepared for herself to avoid harming her insomnia.

And afterwards, he even had the nerve to ask himself how effective it was!

As for trivial matters like being frightened by Ghost-type Pokémon, those happened quite frequently. The earliest few times left a particularly deep impression on her, to the point that now, when she sees something unbelievable, she'll say, "Science doesn't exist anymore." This is all something she developed back then.

Bai Youyou, that old woman, is Tian Sui's biggest psychological trauma.

Even though she's having a very unpleasant falling out with Company Z right now, Bai Youyou's place in her heart hasn't wavered in the slightest.

So you're trying to convince her that this old woman is now expressing 'goodwill'?

You're so naive!

Wait until she puts sleeping pills on the outside of the fruit she gives you and laxatives inside!

You'll behave then!

Yes, that's what Tian Sui thinks.

Bai Youyou was clearly embarrassed at this moment.

If someone else suddenly said something like that, she would definitely argue with Rocco, otherwise what if people thought Yurika's family were all weirdos!

But when she saw Tian Sui, Bai Youyou felt guilty.

Because she remembered that once when Tian Sui had insomnia, she, being an expert in pharmacology, prepared some sleeping pills for her. However, while preparing the pills, a challenger came to the door, and she forgot to seal them.

As a result of the Spirit Mist tactic, a little laxative was mixed into the sleeping pills.

By the time she found out, it was too late.

She had even asked Tian Sui about the effects before this. Every time she thought about it, Bai Youyou felt quite guilty. She tried to explain to Tian Sui several times, but the child had too much prejudice against her, so much so that she always thought of the worst possible outcome.

After several attempts to apologize, not only did it fail, but I also witnessed her adorable reaction of jumping up in fright on numerous occasions, and I even subconsciously kept the photos...

Okay, I guess I went too far!

But please, don't let karma strike at this time...

"Daughter's Daughter-in-Law's Mother Dissatisfied with Son-in-Law, Poisoned Him on Their First Meeting"

Don't do this kind of thing!

With this thought in mind, she looked at Luo Ke with considerable nervousness.

"Don't overthink it, I really didn't poison it. If you don't believe me, I can eat it and show you!"

"Luo Ke, don't believe this old woman. The more she says that, the more it proves I'm right!"

Tian Sui spoke again at this moment.

"She ate it and was fine, which means she took the antidote beforehand; the fact that it couldn't be detected as poisonous means she has excellent pharmacological skills; and since you didn't experience immediate poisoning after eating it, it means the poison is chronic!"

"In short, you can't trust her, absolutely not!"

Tian Sui's voice was characterized by its hoarseness and strain; her shouts were even somewhat hoarse, and her words were devoid of any finesse, consisting entirely of emotion.

Seeing Tian Sui like this, Bai Youyou tried to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

If she weren't involved, she would have believed in Tian Sui.

How is she supposed to explain this?!

But what she didn't know was that Luo Ke had been looking at the two of them with a very strange expression.

When Tian Sui first warned him that it was poisonous, he was very cautious.

So his mental energy immediately connected with Victini, and he carefully checked it over. Hmm... no poison!

As for the claim of superb poisoning skills that could deceive Victini's mental power, Rocco didn't believe it until he had actually seen the poison.

The subsequent emotional outburst from Tian Sui further confirmed Luo Ke's suspicions.

After all, he and Tian Sui hadn't known each other for long. If this relationship had erupted because he was worried about him... he wasn't that narcissistic.

That must be something between her and Bai Youyou.

I'm a little curious, but now isn't the right time to ask.

Besides, I'd already tried these fruits when I visited the restaurant before, and they were a bit too sweet. Bictini and Eureka would definitely like them, but he wouldn't.

So Rocco picked up a fruit that looked like a large blueberry and handed it to Bictini, then looked at Bai Youyou and slowly spoke.

"Alright, I won't eat the fruit. When can the gym battle start?"

Tian Sui breathed a sigh of relief at Luo Ke's reaction, while Bai Youyou felt a chill in her heart.

He didn't eat!

And not only did he not eat it, he also gave one to his unfamiliar Pokémon. Was he keeping evidence for future investigation? Or did his Pokémon have the ability to detect toxins?

Oh no, he actually believed it!

This is how to do...

Bai Youyou started to have a headache.

But Luo Ke's words also reminded her that this was a gym competition, and even if she wanted to explain, she should wait until afterward. Besides, if he really took the fruit to check, he definitely wouldn't find anything, since she hadn't poisoned it!

The only problem...

Bai Youyou glanced at Tian Sui out of the corner of her eye.

After the competition, hand over the dojo management to someone else and then catch up with them!

Otherwise, even if the outcome is good, things could turn out very differently under the influence of Tian Sui's resentment.

Having sorted out her thoughts, Bai Youyou let out a long breath and spoke to Luo Ke quite seriously.

"Let's start now."

"But don't think you can get past me easily. I won't go easy on you."

At this moment, Roco took two Poké Balls from his belt, one for Ditto and one for Saber Sheath.

"It would be better if you didn't hold back, or rather, I would prefer you to show me more of your strength."

As he spoke, Rocco opened the two Poké Balls, and with two beams of red light, Ditto and Saber appeared on the field.

Bai Youyou didn't take out a Poké Ball. Instead, as Ditto and Saber Sheath entered the arena with their red light, two dark figures darted into the arena behind the platform where she was standing, revealing themselves opposite Ditto and Saber Sheath.

The one in front of Ditto that just emerged from the shadows is Gengar!

In front of the twin sword sheaths was a black shadow created by its excessive speed. It didn't actually have the ability to become a shadow, and it wasn't even a Ghost-type Pokémon—it was a Salamence!

Thus, the dojo battle officially began.

......

12. If Luo Ke didn't remind me, it means it's not important!

Flame Queen Lizard...Corrosive properties?

When Roko saw Gengar, he glanced at it quickly, since it is indeed one of the signature Ghost-types, but Salazzle was different.

When this elf was mentioned, Luo Ke immediately thought of its characteristics.

It has the ability to poison both poison and steel types!

As for your description of its sluggishness...

How could anyone use a Safi'jiiva with the Sluggish ability?!

Are you resistant to intimidation?

What kind of intimidation are you, a special forces soldier, doing?

As for preventing obsession and provocation... it's considered inferior to corrosion.

I wouldn't say 100%, but for a Safi'jiiva trainer with some ambition, probably 90% of the time they use Corruption.

As Luo Ke was thinking this, Ditto had already completed its transformation in the first instant, turning into Luo Ke in the astonished gazes of Bai Youyou and Tian Sui!

Tian Sui had never expected this.

However, when she thought about Luo Ke's outrageous physical abilities, she understood a little more.

As for why he transformed like this... it was probably to deal with the Flame Queen Lizard.

That's what she was thinking, while Bai Youyou only realized what was going on after her initial surprise.

This is the phantom tactic...

I wonder what kind of Pokémon that Ditto turned into. It's really a bit of a problem.

Moreover, that double sword sheath was also extraordinary.

As a Ghost-type Elite Four member, Bai Youyou immediately noticed the difference between Fairy King's Sword and ordinary single-scabbard.

Therefore, that dual-sword sheath must be a variant!

And that thing flying beside him, I wonder if it's some new, undiscovered spirit or a variant like his dual-sword sheath...

Eureka has a good eye; this kid has a bright future as a trainer.

Then I'll put a little pressure on him.

As soon as the match began, Bai Youyou selectively forgot what had just happened and focused all her attention on the arena, fully entering battle mode.

This kind of focus is a fundamental skill for Commander-style trainers.

However, to Luo Ke's surprise, Bai Youyou's command style was quite normal compared to the rather unique styles of Eureka and Alice.

"Gengar, Satyr, attack!"

Although the instructions are blurred, they are still the type of instructions issued by the individual—or rather, that's why she's the one here teaching newcomers how to improve their command skills.

As Luo Ke thought this, he watched silently, while the four Pokémon in the arena all sprang into action at that moment.

'Hehehe—'

Gengar let out a strange laugh, then lowered its body, its large eyes flashing with an eerie light.

Black gaze!

Under the rules of the League, it's rare for this Gengar to use such a special move at the start of the battle to prevent Ditto and Dual Blades from leaving the field.

Meanwhile, Salazzle shrank completely behind Gengar, seemingly doing nothing, but under Victini's mental power, Roko sensed that this Salazzle was emitting a large amount of 'aura'!

Yes, the Flame Queen Lizard is a type of spirit that controls the Night Thief Salamander by secreting pheromone gases.

The Pokédex also states that this Pokémon uses its appearance to lure enemies who are dizzy from its poison gas, thereby controlling other Pokémon.

This is how it should fight.

Moreover, this aura is not simple—the Flame Queen Lizard has the ability to emit a sweet fragrance, right? There's also murky mist and poisonous gas!

Given the world's control over techniques, this aura might contain all of those techniques mixed in.

'Jie Jie Jie'

As Salazzle moved, Gengar laughed again, its spiritual energy spreading out and merging with the aura emanating from Salazzle. Then, under Gengar's conscious control, this aura, like invisible giant hands, reached out to Ditto and Saber Sheath.

This is the mist in the mist tactic.
