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

Even such people understand that they are the odd ones out, an absolute minority, and that good people can be pushed to the limit. So if you go too far, you won't have any room to survive in this environment.

That's why the PhD student only set his sights on one city, and that was only after he knew he didn't have many years left to live.

That's why Company Z only cuts the price rather than going any further.

From a macro perspective, Luo Ke is already quite satisfied with this kind of world.

That's why Luo Ke wouldn't claim the title of hero and use the power he gained after time travel to run around the world, dedicating his life to becoming a superman in the guise of a Homelander.

That's why Luo Ke couldn't tolerate a few ink stains on a piece of white paper after encountering certain events.

...

"That idiot!"

After preparing everything, Li Mi leaned back in the soft office chair and slowly closed his eyes.

He never imagined that a mission to attack a poorly defended research institute could fail.

"Not only are they useless, but they also can't see the situation clearly."

Thinking of the conversation he had just had with Fang Xiang through some channels, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Li Mi's face.

"You've worked for the company for so many years, and you still don't understand how the company handles these kinds of problems? And you still think I'll save you?"

"After being cut up, they still said I'd get my comeuppance sooner or later?"

"Ha, if there really was such a thing as retribution, wouldn't it have come knocking on my door long ago? I've done similar things several times before, and each time I've cut ties cleanly. When have I ever suffered any retribution?"

"He can't possibly still believe in God and be praying while he's in prison... How pitiful."

Li Mi rarely mocked someone so vehemently.

This whole thing was really giving him a headache, so he needed to vent.

"That idiot Fang Xiang isn't a problem, but what about Dr. Tian Sui?"

"Giving up is absolutely out of the question, but if Fang Xiang fails this time, the research institute will definitely be on guard, ugh... this is troublesome!"

As he spoke, Li Mi used his waist strength to stand up.

"I'll stop thinking about it for now. After dealing with Fang Xiang's matter, I need to behave myself for a while."

Thinking of this, Li Mi recalled Fang Xiang's serious words to him that he would suffer retribution.

This made him shake his head while unable to stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.

After all, how could you not laugh at something so funny?

He usually seems like a shrewd person, so how come he retains the same naivety as most idiots in the world in this kind of place? Is he trying to create some kind of unexpected charm?

"Damn, this is hilarious."

"Is it funny? I can't laugh..."

Just as he was laughing so hard he was swearing, someone actually answered him in the office where he should have been the only person there!

This situation made Li Mi immediately look up in the direction from which the sound came, and subconsciously pull his hand back to his waist and place it on the Poké Ball.

A tall figure appeared before him.

He wore a long black robe, had black hair, a black mask, and wore a dragon-hand-like arm armor on one hand, while holding a blood-red sword in his other hand!

It looks like a demon from hell has come to claim my life!

At that moment, he seemed to understand what Fang meant by retribution...

Damn it, you bastard, you betrayed me and you still have the nerve to say this is karma?!

He cursed inwardly, his fingers frantically pressing the switch on the Poké Ball, but... he couldn't press it!

The switch on the Poké Ball was as if it were fixed in place by something; he couldn't press it no matter what he did, and for some reason, none of his Pokémon came out to save him!

Under these circumstances, the black demon stepped closer and closer to him.

In Li Mi's eyes at this moment, this evil spirit was more terrifying than a billion murderers!

And this is his 'karma'!

...

In the Amazon rainforest, in a cave that no detector can find.

Z Corporation's most important experimental base is located below it, and even Z Corporation's boss, J.D. Edward, has been staying here all this time.

He truly knew nothing about Tian Sui.

So when he saw the problem caused by Li Mi and Fang Xiang, he first frowned, and then his face showed obvious disgust.

He didn't think Tian Sui and the Alliance's handling of the situation was wrong; in fact, he thought it was too lenient!

If he had known about this beforehand, he would have definitely ordered his men to bring that idiot Li Mi here and torture and humiliate him severely!

Ruozong doesn't actually consider himself a good person.

He has his own ambitions, unlike most people in the world.

But he is also an absolutely proud person.

Even though he was very optimistic about Tian Sui's artificial Pokémon Mewtwo, he only tried to persuade Tian Sui to stay on several occasions, but did not stop Tian Sui from leaving.

Because he believed that since Company Z also had the experimental records, the experimental materials, and even more things that Tian Sui didn't have, then surely Ruo Zong could find a researcher more capable than Tian Sui?

That's why Ruozong has been using Z Company's resources to replicate the artificial spirit project of Tian Sui at this base!

He believed that by combining so much manpower and resources, he could only create an even stronger Mewtwo!

And that seems to be the case.

"Boss, our previous ideas were mostly working. Dr. Tian Sui's Mewtwo is only a Psychic-type Pokémon, but our Mewtwo has added Fighting-type to the Psychic base!"

"Although both have three weaknesses and two resistances in terms of resistance, they have an additional attribute bonus, which adds another possibility!"

"A combination of psychic-type mental power and fighting-type physical abilities—this is truly a perfect creation!"

Hearing the researcher say this, Ruozong nodded slightly and looked over at the researcher.

"These are all within my expectations, but if I remember correctly, the price for giving Mewtwo an extra Fighting-type is that its ability is problematic."

"If I remember correctly, due to the genetic issue, the trait is... Unyielding Spirit?"

An indomitable spirit... accelerates even when fear takes hold...

Ruozong didn't know if his spirit would be better utilized in someone else's hands, but he had already failed when it cowered!

He doesn't like this trait.

The researcher knew his boss's personality, so he spoke up confidently once again.

“Boss, I used to be Dr. Tian Sui’s assistant when she was still around. She once told me that although creating a Pokémon was an idea she had since childhood, what really made her start putting it into practice was seeing a mural in some ancient underground ruins.”

"That was before the Age of Kingdoms. It was said that in the ancient times, there was an elf named Regigigas, who created several elves based on himself."

"It was through this legendary spirit that Dr. Tian Sui completely solidified his idea of ​​creating artificial spirits."

"And we have discovered more than Dr. Tian Sui. We have collected the genetic information of Regigigas in a certain ruin, which was left behind when it fought against the Great God of Light before the Age of Kingdoms."

"I don't know if it's divine intervention, but the genetic information records exactly the part related to our traits!"

"Boss, although we cannot decipher the characteristics of the legendary elf, it can fight against the Radiant God, so its characteristics must be strong, at least not something like Unyielding Spirit."

"So even though we can't change it once it's confirmed, I still suggest we take the risk and give Mewtwo Regigigas, the ability that a legendary Pokémon possesses!"

Hearing the researcher say this, Ruozong thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, this is it! We have plenty of resources, give me the best!"

......

21. Necrozma: Which of them is the trainer?

The soft, bouncy skin and firm yet juicy white duck meat can be easily deboned with just your mouth. In that instant, the aroma of the braising sauce, the meat, and the saltiness blend perfectly.

"Hmm~"

He couldn't stop chewing, but Luo Ke didn't rush to pick up the next piece. Instead, he carefully sucked on the bone.

Even bones without a single shred of meat are coated with a rich flavor.

This is Xiangwan's salted duck.

Although many locals recommend roast duck more online, salted duck is still quite popular, and after trying both, Luo Ke prefers salted duck.

"This kind of dish, which looks bland but is actually full of flavor, simple and clean yet rich in layers, is really addictive."

Luo Ke sighed, then put down his chopsticks and picked up his spoon and the bowl of porridge.

The yam puree, rice, and glutinous rice are mixed together, making this white porridge exceptionally rich and creamy.

The aroma of rice and yam blends with the fragrance of soy milk, seasoned with rock sugar, and garnished with lily bulbs.

Luo Ke, who usually prefers savory porridge, now drinks a small pot of sweet porridge every day after arriving at Xiangwan Market.

The perfect balance of sweetness and aroma is just like the taste of salted duck, making it irresistible.

Porridge, duck, and a few plates of crisp and refreshing side dishes made this simple meal very satisfying for Luo Ke.

However, just as he was enjoying his meal, a loud bang exploded in the yard.

"What happened?"

In a split second, Rocco appeared in the courtyard, where he saw a disheveled Victini with its twin sword sheaths, and Ditto, who had reverted to its original form, lying on the ground with its eyes rolling, unable to fight.

Upon seeing this, Luo Ke first frowned, then immediately understood what had happened in the courtyard, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

'Tinnitini!'

When Victini saw Rocco arrive, it flew directly in front of him and roared loudly.

Luo Ke, feeling embarrassed, then spoke up.

"Sorry, I didn't pay much attention before, so I forgot to mention it. After defeating the Ghostly Gym, I learned a new move—Explosion. Don't use it carelessly during training..."

'Tinnitini!'

Even though Roco kept rejecting the mental connection that Bictini was frantically trying to establish, he could still tell that the little rabbit was swearing filthyly.

'alone...'

Even the two sword sheaths cast disapproving glances, leaving Luo Ke scratching his head and chuckling awkwardly.

It was indeed his problem.

After battling Bai Youyou, he received the system reward. However, he felt he would never actually use this move, most likely only to activate a Normal Z-Move. Plus, he had other things to do at the time, so Roko didn't tell them about it directly. Later, because of his conversation with Necrozma, he completely forgot about it.

If Ditto and Victini hadn't mentioned during training that they discovered Roko's form had an additional usable move and tried it out, Roko might not have remembered it until their next battle against a human-like Pokémon.

So it's only right that they're being criticized now.

Necrozma watched all this from inside its Poké Ball, gaining a deeper understanding of the atmosphere within Roko's team, while its gaze lingered on Roko and Victini.

Um...

Well, Necrozma feels that Viktoria might, perhaps, or maybe... better fit its impression of trainers than Viktoria.

Roco, on the other hand, is more like the kind of elf in the team who is very strong but a bit silly.

Especially when he was being lectured by Victini with his head down, the scene felt so familiar!

However, in battles, Roko was indeed in charge, with Victini and other Pokémon assisting from the sidelines—and Roko was the trainer again at that time.

Well...

If we consider the trainer and the Pokémon, then Necrozma seems completely out of place.

But if we consider a family, Rocco and Victini would probably be the two heads of that family.

Rocco is the father, Victini is the mother, Ditto is the child, and the twin scabbards...

Just as Necrozma was thinking this, he saw Twin Scabbards sigh and then, like a father, mediate the problem, making sure everything was arranged reliably.

Um......

Is it Old Wang from next door?

Hmm, it's still very strange!
