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

"The town's security is basically maintained by him and another policeman, Mr. Shuichi, and the Pokémon they use is the Arcanine next to them."

"It looks very imposing, right? It's also very powerful in battles. I used to lose to it when Pikachu and Pidgeot fought it."

"That's all in the past. It's only a matter of time before you catch up with us, Red. After all, you now have two Pokémon that are level 50 or higher."

Uncle Shou smiled and shook his head.

"The only Pokémon I have that isn't a baby is Arcanine, and besides, I'm not a professional trainer."

"Having two or three Pokémon is the best you can do, but Red, you're a natural-born trainer."

"Speaking of which, is this person next to you a new friend you met?" After responding to Chi Hong, he also noticed Yang Xiying asking him.

"Hello, my name is Yang Xiying. I am a Pokémon trainer traveling to Kanto from Yan Country," Yang Xiying once again used her fabricated identity.

"Now I just want to find a place to settle down, so I chose Zhenxin Town. I prefer the quiet and peacefulness of towns to cities."

"Yan Kingdom, you've come to Guandu from a very far place, and your reason is quite unique, since many people like to go to the city."

Uncle Shou pondered for a moment and then showed a surprised expression. These words sounded more like the excuses of someone who had experienced too much exhaustion.

But this kid is only around twenty years old, it seems like he's under a lot of pressure... Thinking this, he smiled brightly and spoke up enthusiastically.

"But no matter what, since you are a friend brought by Crimson, Pallet Town welcomes you as long as you don't cause trouble."

"—Also, if you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me."

"Ha, Uncle Shou, you're too kind," the young man thought, marveling at the simplicity and honesty of the people on the other end of the line, who accepted the reason so readily.

If everyone else asks you all sorts of questions, it's possible they're secretly investigating your background after giving you permission to leave.

If something seems amiss, we can catch them red-handed. After all, these guys are no ordinary people; Pallet Town is indeed full of hidden talents...

"Haha," Uncle Shou said with a hearty laugh, then let them through. "Alright, I won't stop you anymore. You can go in now."

"Well... goodbye, Uncle Shou!"

Yang Xiying and Chi Hong entered the town. At this time, Chi Hong took out her smartphone and chatted with someone. Judging from the content, it seemed to be her parents.

—Red planned to deliver something to Oak's lab first, then go home to check on things.

"Dané—!"

Suddenly a childish voice came from the sound. Chi Hong and Yang Xiying looked toward the source of the sound and found that it was the turtle carrying garlic.

Bulbasaur?

Crimson froze as it watched the little guy running towards it, and then froze even more when it saw the blue bald turtle following behind it.

“…I see. Come out, Charmander!” But Crimson could sense their feelings, so it released Charmander directly.

That Bulbasaur was a Pokémon that hadn't yet been chosen by a new trainer, so it felt rather lonely.

It's normal to want to see the Pokémon of a newcomer from the same period, and Charmander did just that. Before that, it also saw another newcomer's Pokémon.

Squirtle, and this Red remembers as the Pokémon his childhood friend took away, but now it's here...

"...Bulbasaur, please don't run away again!"

Just then, an anxious voice came from not far away, and Chi Hong looked over and was stunned to find a long-haired girl wearing a hat.

"leaf?"

He spoke instinctively, this was his childhood sweetheart, but only one of them. The one who adopted Squirtle was the hedgehog-headed girl behind Ye Zi.

"Ah, Red, you're back."

After running for a while, Yezi found Bulbasaur stopped at the feet of the two people, and there was also a Charmander there.

She subconsciously looked up and scanned her face upwards, spotting a familiar face, but there were two of them. She pointed to Yang Xiying.

"Ah...! You're the one I was watching from the sidelines when Team Rocket was besieging us!" The tone of his voice was quite surprised.

Yang Xiying: "..."

P.S.: Around 3,000 words. I originally planned to update this morning, but I kept putting it off until now... Sorry everyone.

P.S.: This is my first book! Please add it to your favorites and vote for it! Thank you everyone!

P.S.: Recommending a book:

Role-playing? You have to give it a try!

No. 22 Pallet Town is truly a place where hidden talents abound!

[Ha! You've reaped what you sowed! It's no wonder you're facing this situation after only meeting that girl once.]

The voice of a deity, which hadn't been online for a long time, entered Yang Xiying's mind, and the tone was somewhat gloating.

After all, the atmosphere around them became somewhat strange because of what that girl said, and Crimson seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"Team Rocket? I remember they're a very active criminal group in Kanto... Yezi, how did you end up being ganged up on by them?"

"Did Team Rocket attack Pallet Town before? And Mr. Yang, you..." He looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.

"When I was wandering in the forest on Route 1, I found this lady and Bulbasaur being attacked by four Team Rocket members."

Yang Xiying spoke at this moment, having already organized his thoughts, though it was somewhat unfortunate that he had met the girl once before.

"I intended to use Pokémon to distract Team Rocket and buy her time to escape, but just as I was about to make my move, the little girl used some magical means to leave."

"Oh? Are you sure you weren't just about to team up with Team Rocket to ambush Leaf, but you were too clumsy and let her escape?"

Unfortunately, Yang Xiying's explanation lacks supporting evidence and will inevitably be met with skepticism.

The spiky-haired boy following behind Ye Zi spoke up. He had brown hair, wore a black short-sleeved shirt and purple trousers, and had a satchel hanging from his waist.

His handsome and clean-cut face carried a hint of arrogance and haughtiness, and his gaze toward Yang Xiying was playful.

“Qinglu…” Looking at the spiky-haired boy, Chihong subconsciously spoke up. This was his childhood playmate and childhood sweetheart.

He's the kind of guy who always tries to outdo himself, whether it's grades or height, but he's really amazing.

"Clumsy...maybe, but I have no reason to lay a hand on a young girl. If I did, I'd like to hear how you would make it up."

Subconsciously repeating the hedgehog's words, Yang Xiying's lips curled slightly. He was quite curious about how the other party was going to add fuel to the fire for him.

"...Or you can prove that I am a member of Team Rocket," although he had no evidence, the other side had no evidence either.

"No, I was just raising this possibility to see your reaction," the other person shrugged, responding in a very straightforward manner.

"..." Yang Xiying remained silent, then contacted a certain cricket god, ["...Your illegitimate child lost in the Pokémon world?"]

【…】

"Well, since you can't provide any evidence, let's just believe half of it for now. I'm not going to stay here any longer."

The situation is quite bad, and I didn't expect that the girl was actually a local from Zhenxin Town.

But this girl across from me does look familiar... Crimson calls her Leaf? Wow! A fiery red and green female lead?!

"But I still want to ask for directions. Does Route 21 go towards Pallet Town?" But since he was already here, he had to get something back.

"Huh?" Hearing Yang Xiying say that, the three boys and girls were all stunned, and Chi Hong even spoke up subconsciously.

Are you planning to cross the sea?

Pallet Town is very close to the sea; heading south leads to Route 21, but the sea is a relatively dangerous place for humans.

If your Pokémon's level is low or you don't have a Water-type Pokémon nearby, it's best not to go there.

But on the way to Pallet Town, Red heard from the other side that there were only two Pokémon with him: Blademaster and Pike-Pike!

Although the other side didn't say it, Crimson still knew that Blaze was a Fire-type Pokémon and Puff was a Bug-type Pokémon!

The sea is basically water-based, so wouldn't Yang Xiying going there be suicide...? No, could he really be trying to commit suicide?

After all, before Uncle Shou left, he had quietly told him that this new friend seemed to have suffered a major blow and that he should give him some advice.

Moreover, this person had been acting confused and talking strangely before, so it seems like he really did encounter something bad...

Could he really be a member of Team Rocket, as Green suspected? But suffered various misfortunes and ultimately left the organization?

That makes perfect sense, since the other side prefers the peace and quiet of rural towns! Whether it's for a change of scenery or to avoid the limelight...

But now we're facing this situation...

"Mr. Yang, please calm down! There's still a lot we can discuss! Even if you're a member of Team Rocket!"

"As long as you work hard to correct your mistakes and improve yourself, your future will definitely be bright! So please don't try to take your own life by jumping into the sea!"

Chi Hong suddenly blocked Yang Xiying's path, his face full of tension, which made Yang Xiying, with her spiky hair, show a puzzled expression.

"...Uh, young man, have you misunderstood something?" Yang Xiying looked completely bewildered. "Why would I want to commit suicide?"

"Uh... weren't you going to Route 21? But on the way here you told me that you only had two Pokémon, Blademaster and Pineco."

Crimson was also taken aback, and subconsciously responded.

"But even so, you don't have to say I should jump into the sea," Yang Xiying said speechlessly. "Isn't there still the option of catching Pokémon?"

"Well, I mainly thought you looked exhausted, both mentally and physically, so I assumed you'd gone through some kind of setback..."

Chi Hong scratched his head, looking embarrassed, while Yang Xiying remained silent, because she had just truly experienced...

First he fought four Rockets players, then he was dragged into a fight by women. Even someone as tough as him would suffer some damage!

I almost died on that battlefield! But can I tell these kids in front of me? Of course not!

"I'm not that fragile, but thank you for your concern, little brother. However, it's best to keep your distance from me for now."

Yang Xiying sighed, then spoke. He was quite pleased with the kid's concern, especially since this was no ordinary kid.

"But anyway, judging from your reactions, I'm pretty sure that's Route 21 over there, so goodbye."

"...What Pokémon are you going to catch there?" Yang Xiying was about to say goodbye to the three of them when the hedgehog-headed man spoke up.

"...If I don't tell you, are you going to keep me here to extort money?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow; he didn't want to deal with this arrogant brat.

—But perhaps this was Qinglu's personality in his early days.

"I'm just curious about your insights into Pokémon battles, since you defeated Team Rocket with only two Pokémon."

Qinglu explained her reasoning, which made Yang Xiying pause, because there was no one else around when she fought with the Rockets!

Or perhaps you simply didn't sense it? Was there some kind of expert hiding in your mother's place?! And it was this arrogant brat in front of you?!

"You were there at the time...?" Yang Xiying suddenly tensed up. If this guy was there and she didn't notice, then wouldn't that mean...?!

“That’s not how it is,” Leaf said, shaking her head. “It was just that Miss Dragonite, who was secretly protecting me, saw it.”

"The Dragonite secretly protected..."

Yang Xiying muttered to herself, and at that moment two voices came from not far away, one a gentle animal sound and the other an old man's voice.

"Oh, Red, you're back too! It's so lively with everyone gathered here," the voice drew everyone's attention.

Then she saw a kind-looking old man with gray hair, wearing a white lab coat and sporting a Yamamoto-style hairstyle. Yang Xiying recognized him; he was Professor Oki.

His full name is Yukinari Ōki. He is a scholar who studies Pokémon. He is very knowledgeable and kind, and is respected by many people for this.

Beside him was a fat guy with orange skin, whose appearance was similar to a bipedal monster from a tokusatsu film.

But its appearance is much gentler, like a large animal doll, with small and cute wings, yet it can carry its body into the air.

Dragonite, LV78, female.

Now Yang Xiying understands why she couldn't sense the presence of others; there really were experts among them!

PS: I was stacking armor, and Fatty went back after watching the match, so I didn't see any of the extras.

I saw that it should be added to the battlefield (), oh no, it hasn't developed to the point of dreaming evolution or Little Madness yet ().
