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

But things are really bad on the other side now! It's obvious they've been completely crushed by Yang Xiying, you bastard!

What if the person on the other side suddenly quits their patrol job and retires? Wouldn't they lose a valuable asset?!

"Anyway, I'm sorry, newbie. Yang Xiying is always a bit rough with his hands. We'll help you teach him a lesson."

"..."

Seeing the confident expressions on the faces of the people around her, Yang Xiying gave up on arguing.

It would be really bad if a new employee became withdrawn and quit because of this, and might even earn themselves a reputation for workplace bullying.

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with playing Pokémon battles this way, he believed that steady progress was a good thing.

"As for the reparations after the defeat, I'll pay them for you," the patrol captain said, feeling he should set an example.

Although my wife will give me less pocket money this time...

“No need to trouble the captain,” Rita, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, drawing everyone’s attention.

—A group of people also became nervous.

"I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. Mr. Yang did not disappoint me; he is indeed a very skilled trainer."

Rita took a deep breath, turned her gaze to Yang Xiying and her group, and a slight smile appeared on her otherwise plain and pretty face.

"So I'll have to pay the reparations myself after the defeat. But could you please lend me this for a little while?"

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, which made Yang Xiying sense that something was amiss.

—Because he felt like he had seen that smiling face on Ye Zi before.

"No problem, we wanted Yang Xiying to show you around anyway. Brothers, let's go!"

The captain readily agreed to Rita's request and led a group of patrolmen back to the base office.

—After that, only Yang Xiying and Rita remained in the backyard of the base.

[You little rascal, you'd better keep the new girl happy today! If she runs away, you can forget about getting a free meal from me!]

"..." Yang Xiying was speechless when she saw the text message sent by the captain. Then, she turned her gaze to Rita, who was smiling.

"Um..." Yang Xiying hesitated, seemingly unable to find a topic to talk about, "Miss Rita—"

"If I did anything rude during the match just now, I apologize to you now."

“Yang, you don’t need to apologize. Pokémon battles don’t require any courtesy,” Rita said at this moment, still with a smile.

"As long as we can win, we can use any tactics within the rules, and I can also learn some new things from playing against you."

"That way I can use it next time. I just hope you won't find me annoying when I challenge you to a match next time."

"Emmm, I'd be happy to have someone to fight with," Yang Xiying said after thinking for a moment after hearing Rita say that.

"—And I also feel that Miss Rita, you still have many tactics you haven't used yet."

Although the Pokémon battle ended with his opponent surrendering and him winning, he wasn't quite satisfied yet.

Because the opponent, like himself, had four Pokémon, and Mito hadn't even revealed the Viva that she mentioned before.

Their battle was roughly a three-out-of-four contest, but in this particular match, for various reasons, only Megalodon showed its true strength.

The other Pokémon's powers haven't been fully explored yet, especially Talonflame. Yang Xiying felt that there was still a lot that the opponent could do.

Therefore, he is happy to continue challenging his opponent to a match, as long as the opponent doesn't offer any ambiguous compensation for defeat.

But since the woman on the other side isn't acting up like those women on the Rockets, maybe she can resist this curse.

Come to think of it, the person opposite me just now felt like Ye Zi, and Ye Zi had never ambushed me.

This further proves that the other side can resist this curse! After all, Rita looks like an adult!

So he can still get normal compensation if he defeats an adult woman. Yes, that's it. He's determined to get the Gale Winged Arrow Eagle!

“Ha, indeed, I have many tactics that I haven’t shown you yet, Mr. Yang,” Rita said with a hearty smile.

"However, judging from the previous battles, Yang Xiying knows my Pokémon very well."

My Megalodon and my Goat Talonflame were both blocked, and my last Pokémon, Viva, might be the same.

"It's alright, but I still need to confirm the specifics in person."

The smile on the other person's face became more meaningful, which made Yang Xiying feel a little uncomfortable, and the other person continued to speak.

"Is that so? Regardless of what happens in the future, you've already defeated me in battle. How to obtain the Gale Wings trait, Arrowhawk?"

"I'll explain it to you, but it's a bit boring to talk about this directly. In the meantime, I'd also like to explore Pallet Town, where we'll be staying next."

"You said before that you would be my guide, so we talked as we walked, and this time we can talk about Pokémon to our hearts' content."

"Let's set off now."

PS: The prey has taken the bait.

NO.60+61 Wandering around Pallet Town and finding mates for birds...

"Xiao Yang, are you back from get off work?"

"Yes, good evening, Uncle Shou. It must be hard work of you to still be on patrol at this hour."

"Xiao Yang, good evening. I've had a good harvest of vegetables recently. You can take these home and eat them."

"You're too kind, Sister Xiangzi."

"Isn't this Yang Xiying? Are you free now? How about playing a few games of Go with this old man?"

"Excuse me, Grandpa Fujiwara, I'm not too empty right now..."

"Oh, a new face, I see. They do look like a handsome couple..."

"No, sir, you've misunderstood. The man next to me and I aren't in that kind of relationship..."

"Ah! Brother Yang, have you found someone new?"

"...Rita is a new ranger colleague. She just doesn't know the area around Pallet Town and needs me to be her guide."

"And the phrase 'finding a new love' can't be used to describe me, Ayumi. You've been reading way too many random books."

"Huh? It's been a month and you still haven't won over Nanami or Yoko? They've been getting so close."

"Looks like I really should tell your mother about your fondness for reading all sorts of random books..."

"Ugh... How despicable! I'm going to go play with Xiao Qu and Xiao Jin, I'm ignoring Brother Yang!"

"These kids these days are really..."

Looking at the little girl who might become a master trainer like Red Leaf in the future, Yang Xiying couldn't help but sigh.

Following Rita's idea, he took her for a stroll around Pallet Town, where they encountered all sorts of people along the way.

“Hey Yang, you’re really popular here,” Rita couldn’t help but exclaim, but she also couldn’t help but smile.

"It's alright," Yang Xiying replied casually, but he preferred to remain unknown for now. Having popularity was a good thing, but having this person by his side...

—Luckily, I'm not a big star.

"Apart from a few brats, the people of Pallet Town are pretty good, so a cheerful and sunny girl like you, Rita, is easily popular."

“Then I’ll take it as a compliment,” Rita said, blinking one eye and giving a playful smile as she listened to Yang Xiying’s words.

"Good evening, Mr. Yang. Are you back from get off work?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the surroundings. The two immediately turned their gazes and found a beautiful woman with long brown hair wearing loungewear.

"Oh, Ms. Nanami, good evening," Yang Xiying recognized her and greeted her. This was indeed Nanami Oki.

"Let me introduce you. This is my host, Nanami Oki," Yang Xiying said, leading Rita over and introducing her as well.

"The legendary Professor Oak's granddaughter, the older sister of Blue, one of the two genius teenagers you've heard of, and also a Pokémon doctor."

"...I feel like Mr. Yang is introducing me as some kind of tourist attraction," Nanami's expression became somewhat subtle as she listened to Yang Xiying's words.

She could now see that Yang Xiying was introducing herself to someone else, and this "someone else" was indeed a stranger.

"After all, the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Nanami is indeed a star-level figure worth seeing in our Zhenxin Town," Yang Xiying replied seriously.

"...Mr. Yang, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll raise your land rent."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong," Yang Xiying said, looking at the smiling Nanami. She then directly adopted the traditional skills of the Carlos region.

The land I'm currently cultivating is all borrowed from Nanami, so I have to rely on her to handle many things...

"So this new face is the patrolman's new colleague?" Nanami turned her gaze to Rita.

“Yes,” Yang Xiying replied directly. As expected, Nanami is sensible and wouldn’t overthink things like the others.

"Because she was new to the town and not familiar with Pallet Town, I was chosen by everyone to help her navigate."

"Hello, Ms. Oki, I'm a new patrolman, just call me Rita," Rita greeted the person opposite her.

"Hello, but please don't be shy, just call me Nanami. If you're really uncomfortable, you can call me Miss Nanami like Mr. Yang does."

"As he said, I am the Pokémon Doctor of Pallet Town. If your Pokémon is feeling unwell, you can come to me directly."

“Yes, I’ve got it. As expected of that genius boy’s older sister, you’re amazing too,” Rita replied with a smile.

"Heh, it seems that Qinglu is quite famous over there. In any case, you can continue to follow Mr. Yang."

"Although he hasn't been here long, he's probably more familiar with Pallet Town than I am now. I believe you'll adapt to this place quickly."

"I understand."

"Okay, I still need to go to the town market to buy some things. Let's talk again next time."

"Okay, let's talk again next time."

After a brief greeting, the two groups parted ways, and Nanami, who had only walked a few steps, was suddenly stopped by an auntie on the roadside.

"Nanami, you'll suffer the consequences if you do this. It's hard to find a good young man like Xiao Yang again."

"Uh... Sister Caiyun, you've misunderstood. Mr. Yang and I are just ordinary friends," Nanami said, feeling a little embarrassed as she listened to what the other person was saying.

Although I knew I had gotten a little closer to Yang Xiying, it was really just ordinary conversation.

If they were to find a partner, Yang Xiying would indeed be a higher priority, but it's too early for them to think about such things.

"Besides, talking about marriage is too early for me, and it's the same for Mr. Yang," she thought, "I'm only 24, and he's only 22..."

"That seems to be true. Xiao Yang is only 22 now. Although he doesn't show it much, he is the type who deliberately keeps his distance from people."

"--It seems that the only way to win over a boy like this is through some forceful means," the person on the other end said knowingly.

"Uh……"

Nanami hesitated, because what the other person said made a lot of sense; Yang Xiying was actually not a very approachable person.

"Sorry, I was worrying unnecessarily. After all, I support you and Yang Xiying as a couple. It's just that the foreign girl makes me a little nervous."

"...After all, foreigners are generally more open-minded than us."

"Eh?"

……

"So that's how it is. The giant vine used its parasitic seed to defend against my Megalodon's Life Tap technique, huh?"

Yang Xiying and Rita walked along the country road in Zhenxin Town. Before encountering anything that needed to be introduced, they reviewed their previous battle.

Some questions need to be answered, such as why the giant vine chooses to use parasitic seeds when facing the megalodon.

Megalodon's durable Vine is enough to take it down with a single Giga Drain, but the opponent still chose to use Leech Seed, a move that wears it down.

The reason is to guard against Megalodon's Life Tap, which is easy for Megalodon to use against the giant vines due to its speed.

—That way, no matter what, we can take away a giant vine.

"Yang, it's really impressive that you could even think of this. After all, the Fatal Frame move is quite difficult for Megalodon to learn, and her father isn't Thousand Needlefish."

Rita looked surprised. It would be quite difficult for Sharpedo to learn the Destiny Bond move because it is a genetically inherited move.
