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

Professor Oak, who had been quietly watching all this, suddenly looked at the young man with an interested expression.

“Hmm,” Yang Xiying nodded, turning a page in her Pokédex. “Tangantria can evolve into Giant Vine.”

The image shown above resembles a vine monster but is much larger, and has two arms, giving it a somewhat憨厚 (simple and honest) appearance.

"--After evolution, the base stats will exceed 500, and all abilities will be further enhanced."

"This image does look like the evolved form of the vine monster... but the books I've read before don't mention anything about its evolution."

Red stared at the portrait in the book, lost in thought. He often looked through the book to learn more about Pokémon.

He later learned that there are nearly two hundred types of Pokémon in the Kanto region, but some types are extremely rare.

—You'll never see them even once in your life.

"The book you're reading is from an ancient almanac. Pokémon information is constantly being updated over time."

"Pokémon still holds many mysteries for us humans, so it's not impossible to discover new evolutions, new skills, or new characteristics."

"Your Pikachu is still evolved from Pichu, and Pichu was first discovered in the Johto region, which is next to the Kanto region."

"Furthermore, because Pokémon also have the habit of migrating, the Pokédex for the Kanto region has been updated several times."

"The Pokédex for the Kanto region will also be updated soon, but I wonder if there will be any information about the evolved form of Tangela."

"Oh right, the Pokédex!" Hearing Blue say that, Red suddenly remembered something too. "Professor Oak, is our Pokédex ready?"

"...So, Red, you haven't gotten your Pokédex yet?" Yang Xiying, standing to the side, looked surprised.

"Due to an unexpected incident, the Pokédex cannot be distributed as usual," Professor Oak explained.

"So Crimson and Green can only stay in Pallet Town for a short time, but they are both restless and will disappear in a flash."

"One went straight out to train in the wild and catch new Pokémon, while the other went straight to Viridian City."

"His posture is exactly like that of a prisoner who has just been released from jail," Qinglu said with a wicked smile, mocking Chihong.

"Heh, if it weren't for Professor Oak, his package would still be stuck there," Red retorted defiantly.

"That's not your job. Because of your mess on Route 1, the Pokémon levels there have all gone up."

“It’s questionable whether a package from Changqing City to Zhenxin Town can even reach its destination without escorting it. It’s irresponsible to leave before someone takes over the escorting task.”

“But aren’t you on duty this week? And aren’t you training with me on Route 1?” Crimson scratched his head.

"—He enjoys hunting peacocks even more than I do."

"Tch, I really don't know if I was kicked by Rapidash or bumped by Tauros to end up hanging out with you. No, it's you who's always bothering me."

"What did you say...?" Crimson showed a displeased expression, looking somewhat like a street thug.

"Isn't it you who likes to show off your skills in front of me, but then starts arguing when you can't beat me? You're the one who's clinging to me, aren't you?"

"Huh?! You're so cocky just because you won once?" Green walked up to Crimson with her hands in her pockets and an air of indifference.

"I won because I was lucky, and I lost because of your skill. You've got all the right to say whatever you want, haven't you?" Crimson retorted without any politeness.

"You bastard...!" Their foreheads collided at the same time, and the loud sound indicated a good head injury!

"You two—"

After a brief intellectual duel, they reached out their hands, but at that moment, someone appeared between them.

"Give me--!"

Pikachu, which had been perched on Crimson's shoulder, jumped away when it sensed something was wrong. Then, the person grabbed the two boys by the back of their necks with both hands!

"Enough is enough!"

With the two people looking completely bewildered, the person grabbed them by the back of the neck, lifted them high, and threw them in different directions!

"Whoa—!" "Ugh...!"

But whether it's crimson or cyan, their skills are quite good; even when thrown into the air, they can still maintain their balance and land gracefully.

They all stared blankly at the girl who had thrown them into the air. Yes, this person was Ye Zi, who had been watching from the sidelines.

"...Don't you feel ashamed of acting like children?" Ye Zi scolded the two of them, hands on her hips.

"The noise you made as soon as you got back scared the guests... I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, for showing you such an unpleasant scene."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Yang Xiying, who also had a surprised expression on her face, clearly frightened!

“…It’s okay, it’s normal for boys to be competitive,” Yang Xiying replied after a moment of silence, her heart pounding with cold sweat.

No wonder this girl was unharmed after being hit by that kind of attack; these people are all incredibly skilled!

Are they really human?!

"However, fighting is ultimately not good. Let's sit down and talk things over. If you insist on deciding who's better—"

"It's okay to decide the winner in other ways, I like to use video games or Pokémon battles to decide the winner."

The young man also tried to dissuade them in his own way, saying that if the other side started fighting, it would easily spread to the surrounding area, and it was a pointless fight.

"Pokémon battles?" Red and Green were taken aback when they heard Yang Xiying's words, while the young man continued to speak.

"Yeah, is there something wrong with what I said?" The Pokémon world is just like the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, where everything is solved with Pokémon.

Watching Mortal Kombat on the other side now, it feels a bit strange, like a gatekeeper rolling up his sleeves and fighting Digimon.

“No, you’re absolutely right,” Qinglu patted the dust off her pants, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at Yang Xiying, and Chihong did the same.

"So, Crimson, let's decide the winner by seeing who can beat Yang Xiying in a Pokémon battle."

“That’s a good suggestion. I’ve wanted to spar with Yang Xiying for a while now,” the two suddenly agreed.

Yang Xiying: "???"

He wondered if he should just keep quiet...

P.S.: 3,000 words. By the way, aren't you guys a bit too obsessed? You can see my book on the list without even refreshing it.

P.S.: I will try to keep the reincarnation god a secret as much as possible, since the setting can be supplemented by other characters anyway.

PS: Just a heads-up, the character you're after in this volume is a forest ranger from a certain region, who is also the source of the protagonist's trashy wings ().

NO.25 Bullying a poor young man!

"No...! I'm just passing by and doing nothing, so it's a bit inappropriate to use me as a target."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Yang Xiying immediately lost his composure. How could he possibly be targeted by both the Crimson and Green factions at the same time?

"Why don't you just have your own Pokémon battles?"

"Because it's pointless for me and Red to have a Pokémon battle right now," Qinglv said, waving her hand as she watched Yang Xiying begin to back away.

"Over the past few years, Blue has battled me hundreds of times in Pokémon battles, but I can only use a few Pokémon."

“Even if you borrow someone else’s Pokémon, it’s the same,” Red said as he slowly walked behind Yang Xiying, seemingly trying to prevent her from escaping.

"Continuing like this has become stale, so we need to go on a journey to catch and train more Pokémon."

"Finally, the battle will be decided on the grandest stage in the Kanto region! That is the Indigo Plateau, the headquarters of the Kanto Pokémon League."

“A Pokémon battle tournament is held there every year, and to participate, you must collect eight Gym Badges in the Kanto region.”

At this moment, Qinglu's lips curled into a confident smile, and then he turned his provocative gaze to Chihong.

"I was quite surprised that this guy came up with this suggestion before, after all, he probably can't even collect all eight gym badges."

“I’ll return that to you verbatim. If you hadn’t been able to attend the Quartz Conference, I would have done everything in my power to mock you.”

Crimson responded without any politeness.

"Hmph!" This time, Qinglu didn't continue arguing with Chihong, but instead turned her gaze to Yang Xiying.

"In short, we won't engage in Pokémon battles until we catch new Pokémon and become stronger, and we also need to change our opponents."

"Yang Xiying, you are worth challenging after defeating four Team Rocket members on your own. Your understanding of Tangoes is the best proof of that."

“…Even so, you can’t just drag me into this,” Yang Xiying said with a subtle expression. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t mind accepting the challenge.

"I only have two Pokémon with me right now: Blastoise and Pineco. I haven't even trained one of them properly yet."

But right now, the only one I can use is Azure Flame Blade Demon. Hazelnut Ball's combat power hasn't been fully developed yet. How am I supposed to fight Crimson and Azure?

Although I haven't seen the Azure configuration before, it must be something extraordinary to be regarded as an opponent by Crimson.

"But you still used them to defeat four Team Rockets, didn't you?" Azure repeated its previous reason for challenging them.

"..." Yang Xiying tugged at the corner of her mouth, and at this moment Chi Hong also spoke up, "It's okay, Yang Xiying."

“I can also see that your hazelnut ball hasn’t fully grown yet, but it’s still over level 30.”

"In that case, we can have Pokémon battles, as long as we use the Master Battle Device to adjust the Pokémon levels to be the same."

"Master Duel Device?" Yang Xiying's lips twitched. He felt like he had overheard something from the next film set.

"With that expression on your face, I'm starting to wonder if you're a caveman. You don't even know about a master duel?" Qinglu's expression was strange.

“Yes, I really don’t know, so we don’t need to have any more Pokémon battles, right?” Yang Xiying said with a hearty smile.

"Don't even think about avoiding a fight. Even if you don't know now, I'm going to make you know," the veins on Qinglv's head bulged. He didn't want to miss out on an opponent because of such a stupid reason.

“A long time ago, Pokémon battles between humans were not very rule-based, and even humans could participate in them.”

"This has led to the actual loss of many people and Pokémon, and the battle environment has become severely unbalanced."

"In order to improve this chaotic battle environment, the League and the legendary Pokémon have jointly developed various battle rules."

"First of all, there's the level. Pokémon above level 30 must be adjusted to the same level in battle, just like in a boxing match."

"The opponent must also be of the same size as the player, and in the battle, Pokémon can only be equipped with four moves."

"This is also to save time in Pokémon battles. As long as trainers make eye contact, they have to start a Pokémon battle."

"That's the rule of this world, and you're bound to encounter all sorts of Pokémon Trainers on your journey."

"It would be bad if the travel time was delayed because of the battle, so it is only natural to win and receive a reward or compensation for the loss."

"If you win the battle, I will naturally pay you a bonus, but this will be calculated separately from the reward for explaining the function of the Vine Monster."

"..."

Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes slightly. These rules were similar to those in the Pokémon game, but even so, the young man felt like he was being tortured.

"So you all want to have a grandmaster duel with me? But even this way, you still won't be able to determine a winner."

Yang Xiying crossed her arms and spoke calmly. No matter what, it was still difficult to determine a winner when the other side used her as a target.

"After all, I can't duel with you all at the same time, unless each of you sends one Pokémon to fight me in a double battle."

"Otherwise, the first player will always be weaker than the second player. If the second player is just watching the first player's match, then I will not accept doubles."

He mainly plays singles in Pokémon games and doesn't play doubles much, and the same is true in real life.

He almost lost when he was forced into a battle against Team Rocket before, so it can only be said that Azure Blade Demon used the area-of-effect Regret Sword beyond common sense...

But these master rules... who knows if there are other rules restricting it, so doubles is the only option.

This leads to a paradox: cyan and crimson cannot determine the outcome of their battle by using themselves as targets.

“Indeed, if Crimson goes first, it will be much easier for me to beat Yang Xiying,” Qinglu nodded subconsciously upon hearing the young man’s words.

"—And I don't want to team up with him either."

"So why am I the one going first?" Chi Hong couldn't help but ask, wanting to observe what tactics Yang Xiying was using.

"Because I can offer three times the prize money. If you beat me, Yang Xiying, the prize money will be tripled, which is 6000 yen."

Qinglu spoke, her tone matter-of-fact.

"You can give me a dollar if I lose, I just want to have a match with you," he said, wanting only to see his opponent's strength.

“If you win, then there’s no need for me to play against Yang Xiying, so even if you win.”

"If I lose, I will continue to fight Yang Xiying. If I win, then I win. How about that? This rule is still fair, right?"

"It's not impossible for me to go first, but if I lose, you'll be the only one paying out the triple bonus."

"Tch, I don't necessarily rely on information for Pokémon battles," Red curled his lip. "I'll go first then."
