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

"Even if we don't necessarily meet Victini when we get there, it's not a bad idea to make this the first stop on our trip."

That's right.

Rocco is planning to take Ditto to Victini!

After all, Victini is no ordinary elf.

Before the game, many players would categorize Pokémon into different levels, such as pseudo-legendary or legendary Pokémon. The official game developers, on the other hand, referred to some Pokémon as legendary or mythical Pokémon.

Some are generally accepted names, while others are local names.

On Luo Ke's side, they all called those phantom spirits "phantom beasts".

And Victini is such a mythical beast.

It can become invisible, can transmit its thoughts to others using mental power, has its own unique characteristics, and even its own unique moves... Ah, no, if Rocco remembers correctly, Victini's unique moves seem to be in the fifth generation of games, and Rayquaza, which is given away as a gift during an event, also has them?

In short, aside from this special case, Victini has its own signature move, V-Blaze.

But these are not its most important features.

It has a special ability that isn't particularly shown in the game, but Rocco saw it in the movie.

Firstly, Bictini can continuously generate energy within its body. This energy is not the same as physical strength. If too much energy is generated at once, it may even damage Bictini itself.

However, if it doesn't generate this much energy all at once, it would be fine to say that Victini has infinite energy.

Then Bictini can distribute the energy it produces to other things.

In other words, as long as other people or elves can withstand it, Victini can give them a lot of energy, allowing them to unleash abilities beyond their own limits!

Therefore, it is the true spirit of victory!

Such a special ability would be incredibly useful in this real-world Pokémon world.

In addition, Luo Ke is someone who likes to collect rare spirits, so if he doesn't do something after getting a little clue about the mythical beast, then he wouldn't be himself.

"After you leave Ditto, if you want to further improve your transformation, you'll need to see more Pokémon in person. Let's witness and collect them slowly during our journey."

"Just thinking about it would be amazing if you could transform into any spirit you wanted and fully utilize its abilities!"

'Well!'

The trainer's emotions can affect the Pokémon.

So when Ditto heard what Rocco said, he responded with great enthusiasm.

Seeing it like this, Luo Ke also smiled.

Then the two of them went back to pack their things. When Roco put Ditto into a Poké Ball and walked out of the house with a black backpack on his back, their journey had already begun!

And Luo Ke's first stop was the Los Angeles branch of the Elf League!

He's going to find out where to capture Ditto!

...

The location of the Elf League's Los Angeles branch is in the city center.

That is, the outer perimeter of the large garden in Los Angeles, where hundreds of flowers bloom!

Because of the garden's fame and scenery, a very long pedestrian street was built around it.

The entire street is made of beautiful patterned bricks, and it is covered with a canopy that provides shade and shelter from the rain.

These canopies are printed with mosaic patterns, which, when the sun shines on them, divide the bright sunlight into soft, multicolored rays that gently fall on pedestrians below.

On the inner side of the street, near the garden, benches for pedestrians to rest are everywhere.

On the outer side of the street, all kinds of shops are springing up in a colorful array.

It's like another garden on the outskirts of a large garden.

When Luo Ke was traveling around Los Angeles like a tourist, he naturally made sure to visit this famous commercial street.

He even visited all the famous shops here that attracted him.

The flower cakes he ate before attending the summer camp were bought here.

Therefore, he didn't even need navigation to find the location of the Elf League's Los Angeles branch; he knew it by heart.

Call ~

This body is indeed convenient. It took less than an hour to walk from the edge of the city to here, and I didn't even break a sweat or feel thirsty. In my previous life, this would have been considered an innate travel physique.

However, considering the other absurd aspects of the "Super Rookie" physique, it might not be entirely appropriate.

Perhaps it's more likely that they'll be called aliens?

Luo Ke, with a jumble of thoughts, walked into the Alliance branch, which had walls made of white stone, a front yard full of flowers, and a main building that was five stories high. Together with the surrounding facilities, it resembled a castle.

His idea was to find a staff member directly, ask them his questions, and get the information.

But before he could do that, someone who happened to be at the Alliance branch immediately turned his attention to him.

It was none other than the strongest Uranus of this generation, the Sky Queen Eureka!

Today, she wasn't wearing a blue bird headdress, and her denim-like outfit had been replaced by a long, intricately designed dress beneath her short, golden hair.

Although her expression remained as blank as ever, compared to her previous outfits that highlighted her youthful vitality, today she looked more like a cold and noble princess.

It's like the highest, most unattainable lily in this castle-like branch.

She was naturally very eye-catching.

Therefore, Luo Ke, who was being stared at by her, naturally attracted the attention of others as well.

Before Rocco could even notice this, Eureka took a step toward him.

She ran very fast, as if she had something urgent to deal with, and pedestrians made way for her to get to Luo Ke.

When Rocco turned around, Eureka was already in front of him. While he was still in a daze, she threw herself into his arms!

Soft, warm, and with a pleasant fragrance...

From birth to time travel, this was the first time Luo Ke had ever been hugged by a girl.

He wanted to experience this novel experience more, but unfortunately, his super rookie constitution amplified his senses, allowing him to feel not only the girl's beauty but also the fact that she was pressing something hard against his body!

Furthermore, this thing seems to have a switch-like structure, and Luo Ke could clearly feel the switch being pressed while it was being pressed!

This situation clearly brought him to his senses.

So he grabbed Eureka's shoulders, pushed her a little distance away, and looked down.

Sure enough, Eureka was holding something in her hand.

but...

Why is it an empty Poké Ball?!

......

14. Couple's tacit understanding?

Luo Ke practices martial arts.

Therefore, he knew the simplest way to use a dagger.

Use both hands to stabilize the dagger with your body, then lunge forward while pressing your full weight onto it, thus driving the dagger completely into the target's body.

When Rocco felt the hard object, he thought of this scene.

Wearing a long dress, Yurika gripped the dagger and lunged at him, her short golden hair flying in the air like scattered petals or a falling white bird.

Dangerous yet pitiful.

If someone is not determined, they might open their arms and hug such a girl tightly even if they see a dagger.

Even knowing that this is a once-in-a-lifetime hug, such a person would still feel content.

But Luo Ke is different.

He has never lacked love to this extent.

Before he even saw the Poké Ball, all he wanted to know was why the Sky Queen would do this, and his mind was already racing with conspiracy theories.

After seeing the Poké Ball...

She mistook me for an elf, and she caught me while trying to catch an elf!?

He just thought it was outrageous.

At this moment, Eureka's shoulder was still being held by Roco, but she didn't care about that. She just stared blankly at the Poké Ball in her hand. After confirming that the Poké Ball hadn't been triggered, she paused for a moment before raising her head and meeting Roco's strange gaze.

Logically speaking, a normal person facing this situation would either apologize, be assertive, or at least try to "get away with it by being cute."

But Eureka...

"Ah ho~"

She simply spoke in her lazy voice, her expression blank.

Perhaps they were saying hello?

Or is this her way of "getting away with cuteness"?

The passersby around them didn't quite understand, but Luo Ke breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.

"I understand. This isn't the place to talk. With your status, finding a secluded spot shouldn't be difficult. Shall we talk privately?"

"Ah."

To onlookers, Luo Ke's statement, while reasonable, was somewhat baffling.

But Eureka seemed to have been waiting for those words, responding without hesitation, and grabbed Rocco's hand, turning around and pulling him toward the stairs.

Luo Ke didn't resist and just followed her away!

"Hmm? Lady Yurika and that gentleman seemed to have talked a lot just now, but they didn't actually exchange more than a few words, did they? Is my memory playing tricks on me?"

Once Rocco and Eureka left together, the passersby suddenly became lively.

"No, you don't understand. This must be what they call—couple's unspoken understanding!"

"Lady Eureka and that gentleman must have a very good relationship; this must be their unspoken understanding as a couple~"

Because Rocco and Eureka's interactions were so fantastical, they left a great deal of room for imagination for the passersby.

Some say that pressing a Poké Ball onto someone is a secret code, while others say that Eureka's usual greeting, "Yahoo!", has some hidden story.

Their thinking is very divergent.

However, when people in this world discuss these things, they still tend to associate them with a positive outlook.

Furthermore, even if they imagined many scenarios, and many of them were just like the truth, no one took their private speculations seriously as facts before understanding the specific situation.

In such a social atmosphere, no one will laugh at those who do good deeds, no one will curse others at will, no one will vent their own stress on others, and no normal person would think that evil is right...

But even in such an environment, Luo Ke would probably be amazed if he saw it.

Only a time traveler like him could have this feeling.

At best, people will feel that these normal things are abnormal.

In severe cases, it may lead to the questioning of whether this supposedly correct world is actually correct.

...

The main building of the Los Angeles Alliance branch has five floors.

One floor connects to the outer plaza and interacts with other functional facilities outside the main building; it is an area used by most trainers.

The second floor is a shop selling various goods that trainers would use, while the third floor is the main area where League staff operate.

The fourth floor is for Pokémon or trainers who stay here for recuperation.

The fifth floor is an area for VIPs to live and use. As Eureka is currently living here, she also brought Rocco to her residence.

"The league system allows you to become the strongest player and qualify to challenge for the regional championship."

"I have never beaten that Earth Emperor."

"So before challenging for the North American championship, I plan to strengthen the team or change the tactics."

"I've come to you."
