I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

In the days to come, issuing wrong orders will ultimately lead to their own destruction. Yang Xiying is looking forward to seeing the Mitsui father and son perform the aerial acrobatics due to the circumstances!

Only in this way could he see the blood pressure of these beasts rise and then calm down. How should I put it...

Using 3D Dragon 2 to gather information on them was like reading through a grand historical era, so much so that he tried his best to suppress his murderous intent when facing those people.

So he can't just let them off so easily; he'll keep a close eye on how these guys meet their doom.

—But before that, I need to think about how to go on dates with the girls.

P.S.: New Year update!

NO.235+236 Reunion with Miss Fenglu!

Mr. Yang, it's been a long time. Is now a convenient time for us to meet?

Looking at the message on her phone, Yang Xiying's expression became subtle, because it was sent by Feng Lu, and it was only Friday morning...

Yes, it had been almost a week since Yang Xiying arrived in Kuye City. Since there were no major events, time had passed quickly.

Anyway, this should be the day the dojo opens, but Fenglu, the dojo master, requests to meet with him at this time.

Is it because she has a part-time job similar to Nazja's that the museum closes at certain times? After all, the person opposite her is a pilot...

"...Your other lovers have started contacting you again?" A voice came from behind, and at the same time, Yang Xiying felt a soft touch.

Turning your head around reveals a woman with shoulder-length pink hair and a somewhat strange expression; this is none other than Resa, an elite member of Team Rocket.

At this moment, Yang Xiying was at their residence in Kuye City, and the reason was naturally that she was on a date with them.

I woke up this morning after playing all day, and then I saw the message from Fenglu, which was then seen by Leisa.

However, her expression was not friendly, because she had seen him dating various women during her few days in Kuroba City!

Finally, it was my turn with Rie! But now the person opposite me is looking at their phone again, which makes me feel like I'm chatting with other women.

"Now your challenge to the gym might be delayed until another week, or you might even have to stay in Cerulean City for a month."

As she spoke, her expression turned gloating, because if a person attracts too many women, it will be difficult for him to continue doing his own thing.

For example, I wanted to collect the gym badges of Vermilion City, but I didn't challenge them because I had to spend time with all sorts of girlfriends.

I only managed to find the time today, since the Vermilion City Gym is still open on Fridays, but if I were to go on a date with another new woman...

—Then we'll just have to wait until next week.

"..."

Hearing Leisa say these things, Yang Xiying felt a lot of pressure. He had been spending time with various girlfriends lately and hadn't been able to challenge the dojo.

Since he and Xiaoxia hadn't hidden their relationship, it would be very bad if he were caught on a date with another woman.

Therefore, he had to dress up for every date with a girl, and the girls understood his idea.

For Kanako, no matter what Yang Xiying looks like, he is who he is; for Rita, this makes it feel more like a secret affair.

—She seemed even more excited after learning that she and Xiaoxia had officially announced their relationship!

Next up is Team Rocket member Resa Yu-hui. They don't care that much, after all, she's a member of Team Rocket.

Therefore, without needing to disguise herself and just mess around inside the base, Yang Xiying only needed to consider that the final date location would not be repeated.

For example, when you go to buy clothes, you can disguise yourself, but you can't change your identity information, and it's easy to be discovered when you pay.

Yang Xiying racked his brains to make everyone happy! But fortunately, he only had four girls to deal with now.

Moreover, since the two girls were inseparable, Yang Xiying's time wouldn't take long even if each of them took up two days of her time.

Today is Friday, and I can challenge the gym. No girls have asked me out today, partly because there aren't many girls I'm deeply in love with.

Deeper-thinking characters like the fighting girl Kirika are still traveling in other parts of the Kanto region, while Officer Jenny is quite busy with official duties.

The same applies to Misty and Sabrejoice; moreover, after obtaining the Vermilion City Gym Badge, he had to return to Saffron City and stay there for a few days before heading to Celadon City.

In short, today is the day he's going to challenge the Vermilion City Gym, but now Wind Dew Girl has suddenly contacted him... wait a minute!

I don't have that kind of deep relationship with her right now! As long as I don't engage in Pokémon battles with her, she can remain chaste!

"You can't just say things like that. She's a delivery girl from Unova. She doesn't have time to date me, and that's only if she's going to fight me."

Yang Xiying pursed her lips in response, while Yu Hui lay on the other side of him and asked in a calm tone.

"...So are you sure the other side won't fight you?"

"perhaps……"

Yang Xiying remained silent. This was a very uncertain matter, because the person opposite her was the gym leader, and they might become very close in the future.

“Heh, the girls in the Unova region are pretty wild,” Leisa chimed in, then added as if she had just remembered something.

"Speaking of which, our intelligence agents did see you with a Hezbollah girl last week."

The Rockets' intelligence network can even find out the color of a target's underwear, let alone Yang Xiying, whom they need to monitor at all times!

"Wind Dew, the Gym Leader of Fuyu City, ah, speaking of which, you certainly have a lot of luck with women," Resa said, even though she now knew about the opponent's characteristics.

—But even without his special characteristics, there are plenty of women he'll run into...

"...Aren't your expressions a little too gloating?" Yang Xiying asked, trying to keep a straight face, while Leisha teased her.

"After all, someone might be spending another month in a new city."

"...Staying for a month won't stop me from coming to visit you guys."

"What a shameless guy... um!" Leisa wanted to continue teasing, but Yang Xiying covered her mouth!

"What...what are you doing?!" As they parted, she questioned the sudden attack from the other side, while Yang Xiying slowly spoke up.

"I'll stay with you for a while before that girl arrives."

"I don't want you to come with me... Ugh!"

……

"Mr. Yang, as agreed, I have come to return the cross bat."

At the Kuye City Airport, Yang Xiying took the initiative to meet Feng Lu, and she also brought the goods to hand over to the local staff for unloading before meeting her.

He took out the Crobat Poké Ball first, and then the purple figure jumped out of the Poké Ball and pounced on Yang Xiying!

"Kuro—!"

It was indeed the Cross Bat, with its mouth wide open and eyes like crescent moons, looking very happy to see Yang Xiying.

"Ha, welcome back, kid. Did you cause any trouble at Miss Fenglu's house?"

Yang Xiying responded by holding Crobat, and then many miniature virtual images of Pokémon floated around Yang Xiying and greeted Crobat.

“Not at all, Mr. Yang’s cross-bat is very well-behaved,” Feng Lu couldn’t help but smile as she watched this scene.

"I even need to ask you for advice on how to cultivate Pokémon relationships," after all, his inquiry about Yang Xiying with Crobat had been well-received.

Although he has rules and a strict side, this has also made him reliable. Being by his side feels like you can overcome any obstacle.

In addition, he is gentle and considerate of others' feelings in every way, so many people like him and rely on him.

These feelings are similar to the initial impression I had when I first met him... He's a reliable person who is also very considerate of others.

Therefore, Feng Lu had a very good impression of Yang Xiying, considering her a worthy friend, and as for developing feelings for her...

"Really?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, and at that moment he also heard Crossbat's words: [Boss, everything that needed to be said has been said.]

"—It's up to you now."

Yang Xiying: "???"

"Well, I'd also like to challenge Mr. Yang to see just how strong you really are, given your close relationship with Pokémon!"

As she spoke, Feng Lu's expression became serious. Pokémon battles are the best way to connect with others!

—Because you can truly feel what kind of person the other person is!

"Well, it's not really a good idea to fight," Yang Xiying said, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Feng Lu's words!

It seems people in this world really like to use Pokémon battles to connect with each other, though I don't think I'm much different myself.

However, in order to avoid receiving any ambiguous rewards, Yang Xiying tried her best to refrain from battling female trainers!

If he had too many girlfriends like Kasumi, Kanako, and Nazuna, with whom he had genuine feelings, he wouldn't be able to handle them all.

Moreover, he seems to have realized a very serious problem during this period: his girlfriends' combat skills have also increased significantly!

Especially Kanako, after not seeing her for several months, she can now battle against a level 50 Pokémon Master in 5v5!

This is a complete upgrade from an elite trainer with an average Pokémon level of 30 or 40 to a prospective gym leader with an average Pokémon level of around 50!

Of course, most importantly, the aura she exuded gave off a feeling that, like the leaves, made people somewhat uneasy...

"Oh, that makes sense."

At this moment, Feng Lu realized something and spoke up, which surprised Yang Xiying, but the other party was not finished speaking.

"—Besides delivering goods and fighting Mr. Yang, I have another important matter to attend to in Kuroba City."

So, it's inevitable when I face off against you...?

Yang Xiying remained silent, but the important matter Feng Lu mentioned piqued his curiosity, so he couldn't help but ask, "Important matter?"

“My grandfather asked me to deliver a gift to the Gym Leader of the Vermilion City Gym. My elders are close friends with Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader there.”

Feng Lu also spoke up cheerfully.

"I see."

Yang Xiying nodded. Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion City, is set as a member of the Unova Army, so it's normal for Unova members to know each other.

“In that case, we’re going the same way…” Yang Xiying said softly, while Feng Lu showed a surprised expression.

"Huh? On the way?"

"Yes, I want to challenge the Vermilion City Gym and get the Gym Badge."

"No way, Mr. Yang hasn't gotten the dojo badge yet?" Feng Lu's expression became even more surprised.

She had heard before that Yang Xiying was going to challenge the Kanto Regional League, so he needed to collect badges, and Vermilion City Gym was his target.

The opponent has been in Vermilion City for a week, so they should have gotten the Gym Badge by now. They don't seem like the type who are weak.

"I was delayed because of some important matters, and my time to challenge the dojo was accidentally delayed," Yang Xiying turned her head away, unsure of what to say.

"That's it..."

Feng Lu nodded subconsciously, and then Yang Xiying quickly changed the subject to prevent the other party from continuing to ask questions.

"By the way, did the Crobat go to see its mother at your place? Is its mother feeling any better?"

“Yes,” Feng Lu replied with a smile when she heard Yang Xiying mention the Cross Bat, “Thanks to Mr. Yang, the Cross Bat mother has already woken up.”

"She just needs to rest now. In the future, Mr. Yang, you can bring the cross-bat to see her. Of course, I will send you by plane."

"—After all, we agreed on this beforehand."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you then," Yang Xiying nodded in response, and then the two chatted as they headed toward the Kuye Dojo.

"Welcome to the Vermilion Gym. Oh, what a spirited young man! Hmm? Isn't this Wind Dew Girl?"

Upon entering the massive seaside facility in Kuye City, Yang Xiying was greeted by a middle-aged man with bronze skin and a man in a vest.

He was tall and muscular, wearing a green vest, army green trousers, and boots.

His blond hair stood out like a hedgehog's quills; if styled into a broom-like shape and he squatted down, it would give him a very intimidating look.

He had a rugged face and wore sunglasses, but when he looked at Feng Lu, he took them off and showed a surprised expression.

"Uncle Ma Zhishi, good morning. I've delivered the things you asked my grandfather to me," Feng Lu greeted the person opposite her with a smile.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Fenglu Girl," the burly man was none other than Ma Zhishi, and he quickly smiled upon hearing Fenglu's words.

"By the way, who is this boy next to you? Is he your boyfriend?" She was also curious about the young man next to her, since they had come together.

“…Oh, no, Mr. Yang and I are just ordinary friends,” Feng Lu waved her hand awkwardly after being teased like that.

For her, having a boyfriend is a bit too early, since that would make her best friend feel lonely.

"Hello, Mr. Lt. Surge, I am a Pokémon Trainer from Yan Country. I am here to challenge the Vermilion City Gym."
