"H-how are you? Are you calm now?"

Yang Xiying, who was lying on the ground, raised her head at this moment, revealing a dying expression, and slowly spoke.

"...we just felt even angrier."

After looking at the swollen and red hands and the unharmed face opposite them, the group of trainers spoke up.

“So you guys still lack exercise,” Yang Xiying finally stood up, dusted herself off, and looked helpless.

As a Pokémon trainer, you're not just training your Pokémon; you also need to improve your own skills, since there are always people who cheat in battles.

"...We can't deny that, so where did you come from, this reclusive master?"

"Yan Kingdom".

"sorry."

"Regarding Pokémon battles... could you give us some pointers?"

"I'm sorry, I don't take on apprentices."

"We'll exchange money for knowledge!"

"...Give me your contact information, and I'll write an article for you."

……

In this way, Yang Xiying made a group of trainer friends, and he did not continue to seek out Pokémon trainers to battle.

After all, these people have lost their will to fight just by seeing me. It feels good that there aren't too many people bothering me.

[Oh, you've already arrived in Changqing City? But you're only contacting me now. Are you busy flirting with other girls?]

Evening arrived quickly, and Yang Xiying and the Pokémon rested in the dormitory at the Pokémon Center.

—At the same time, I contacted my friends in Pallet Town for a while.

Nanami and Professor Oak were quite normal, but Rita was a bit unserious, directly asking how many girlfriends she had.

"..." Thinking of Kanako, whom she had defeated not long ago, Yang Xiying's expression became subtle. That girl had just sent a message.

—She told herself which room she was staying in.

[I saw a pair of trainers battling in the plaza next to the Pokémon Center the other day, and I couldn't resist playing a few rounds with them.]

Yang Xiying explained to Rita why she was contacting her so late, and Rita replied quickly, but with the same teasing tone.

"Ha, after showing off your skills in public, no trainer should be willing to battle you anymore," Yang Xiying said, knowing her battle style best. Both her team composition and tactics exuded a strong desire to win.

Are there any girls in there?

"...I always feel like you're looking forward to me messing with other girls," Yang Xiying said with a subtle expression, as the other person kept steering the conversation in this direction.

[I'm just a little curious, curious about just how heavy your future lover's head will be.]

[Screw you, I'm basically in no position to date or get married right now, and I'm a staunch non-marriage advocate just like you.]

[Or rather... Rita, you want me to take responsibility for you?] In the end, the words Yang Xiying typed also became more meaningful.

[Haha, I don't need you to take it so seriously. Besides, if you're going to take responsibility, are you planning to make me the boss or the second-in-command?]

Besides, I don't have that kind of magnanimity. It's better to be just ordinary friends and occasionally enjoy the thrill of cheating.

— Rita's writing exudes a carefree and thoughtless vibe.

"...You really are a nasty person, but I like it," Yang Xiying said, tugging at the corners of her mouth, but she didn't scold her.

For him, the worse the girl, the better, because that way he wouldn't feel guilty, and he would also get the thrill of turning villains into his camp!

[Haha, Yang, you wouldn't say that because you're infatuated with me, would you? After all, you became friendly with me even before we'd played a match.]

"Yes, who wouldn't like a cheerful and sunny older sister like Rita?" Yang Xiying replied with a smile.

"You're shameless enough to say that. Go try to win over the other girls first; I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

"See you later," Yang Xiying said, and with that, he broke off contact with Rita. He also had to go see Kanako, as they were urging him on.

……

"good evening."

"Hmm, good evening, come in."

Yang Xiying headed straight for the room Kanako had given her, and the journey was smooth and unobstructed, even when she encountered people along the way.

They acted as if they didn't see him at all. Oh, they did give him a basic greeting, but they didn't interfere or ask any questions.

Finally arriving at their destination, they knocked on the door, which opened shortly afterward, and Yang Xiying saw Kanako peek out from inside.

A hint of nervousness appeared on his face, but he still pulled Yang Xiying inside, where the air was filled with the fragrance of shampoo and shower gel.

Yang Xiying also noticed at this moment that the person opposite her was shirtless. After she entered the room, she found that the person opposite her was wrapped in a bath towel, obviously having just finished showering.

“…Hey, you’re quite well prepared,” Yang Xiying said with a slight smile, trying to lighten the mood.

"Tsk, it's all your fault. You actually had that kind of request... The cost of defeat has already been optimized so that it can be solved with money."

Kanako pouted and replied, "How can there be such people in the world who are so obsessed with women?"

"...So it's fine for you to use money instead."

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. He was quite self-controlled, after all, he had never taken the initiative in that area many times.

"Stop looking down on people!"

Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Kanako immediately used a pouncing attack as revenge for the cunning tengu falling to Foretus's pouncing attack!

"Wow, good luck! Today I'm the Immovable King Butterfly King!"

"...What are you saying that's ambiguous? Take this! Heart Fish, Angel's Kiss!"

Yang: "Big-billed sparrow, parrot mimicking speech!"

Kanako: "Absorbing Kiss!"

Yang: "Keep parroting! Also, activate G to promote proliferation."

Kanako: "The one who names the grave!"

Yang: "Chain, the ancient relic Holy Lance, you are not an exception!"

Kanako: "In that case, let's attack you directly! Go! Devourer, crush the Great Jaggi!"

Yang: "The effect is quite powerful, but I'm wearing a bumpy helmet, so you'll get hurt too. Then, Big Mouth Sparrow uses Straight Drill!"

Excellent results

……

"...Oh? You're going on a trip with me?" Yang Xiying looked at the soft body nestled in her arms with a surprised expression.

—Because the other side made a very interesting suggestion.

“Because you make a girl pay the price for being defeated by you…” Kanako responded, “I don’t think that’s a good thing.”

As long as Yang Xiying continues to be a Pokémon Trainer, more and more girls will get involved with him.

After all, it's only natural that the loser must conform to the winner's existing beliefs after a Pokémon battle.

Even if you tell others, they won't find it strange. So far, the only unreasonable demand people have is the taking of lives.

—Kanako had no choice but to admit that she was outmatched in skill.

Moreover, she once had the idea of ​​someone defeating her fair and square in a Pokémon battle and then marrying her!

Someone has already done it, and he's also very handsome. Such a strong and handsome man is exactly the prince of my dreams!

However, the other side has some rather troublesome characteristics, so wouldn't pursuing them just lead to more cheating?

Therefore, it must be stopped! And the only way to stop it is to defeat the opponent. Therefore, Kanako wants to train under Yang Xiying's side!

Get stronger and stronger until you surpass Yang Xiying, so that the other side won't have to get involved with any more women!

"Oh, that's a really constructive idea," Yang Xiying said with a pleasant surprise, as she had long wanted to find a travel companion!

PS: The protagonist is still making some futile struggles... Well, the journey in this book is basically a completely solo adventure.

—Even if you're going to choose teammates, they have to be characters with strong personalities.

P.S.: I want to see the next episode of The King...

NO.88 is heading towards Route 22!

"So, Yang, can I go on a trip with you?"

Kanako hesitated, feeling a little nervous and even afraid to look at the other person's face, after all, she had traveled alone before.

I've never invited anyone, and I often decline requests to team up with others, so I feel a little embarrassed doing this.

—But I've already done things that were even more embarrassing, so this is nothing.

“No problem,” Yang Xiying replied directly, which surprised Kanako. “Eh? Really?”

"Of course, finding companions is something I've been thinking about all along."

As the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, but when you're out in the world you rely on your friends. Being alone when you're away from home can be quite pitiful.

Therefore, Yang Xiying is also very happy to travel with others, and more importantly, she can ask them to fight when she encounters female opponents in the future!

This way, I won't make as many mistakes that men make, although sometimes, like when fighting at a gym, I can't avoid fighting female trainers.

But this reduces the quantity by at least 90%! He still wants to retain some of the integrity that a human being should have.

If he were to pull out a gopher and fight to the death every girl he sees, that would be outrageous! Lately, he'd even become somewhat addicted to it; if he continued…

Will I become a sadistic guy who gives every pretty girl his Pokémon to force her to become a trainer and then battle her?

No, my upright conscience must not be swayed by this kind of thing. I must find a way to stop it!

So he needs to find a companion! But the question is, who should he look for?

Finding partners to work with is a delicate matter; both parties must get along well. If their ideas don't align, it can be quite difficult to manage.

If you're not careful, it can turn into—

"I have heard that you have recently committed many unjust acts and acted eccentrically. I am sorry that I cannot accompany you. I hope you will take care of yourself and rethink the meaning of chivalry."

Yang Xiying initially wanted to find Ye Zi, since the girl wanted to see the outside world, and they had become quite close because she taught her things.

They are quite familiar with each other, and in terms of Pokémon battles, Leaf is a very promising type who learns very quickly.

If things continue like this, she might surpass herself. It's safe to say she truly embodies the other side of Crimson, making her a perfect shield for him.

But Leaf was unwilling to travel with her, because the girl considered green and crimson as rivals.

Those two were basically self-taught in Pokémon battles, and Yezi didn't want to lose to them, so she didn't really want to rely on herself.

All you need to learn from him is some basic knowledge, and you can also check out his Pokémon tutorial videos posted online.

Most importantly, she couldn't wait to go out and have some fun...

So, Yezi's recruitment failed, and the only candidate left was Rita, but this older sister was tired of cursing and just wanted to put on a show.

It's quite a headache. The others, like Rita, lead honest and law-abiding lives, and they don't treat Pokémon battles as seriously as breathing.

Therefore, if Yang Xiying wants to find companions, she has to go to Nuka Bar... Oh no, there are no professional companions in this world, so finding them is just a matter of chance.

But now that I've met them, even though we haven't known each other for long, we've already established a fairly close relationship.

Although it's due to the constraints of the rules, there's plenty of time, and the other party's statement coincides with his own philosophy.

"So I'm glad that you, Kanako, are thinking of me like this, after all, this characteristic of mine is also a kind of curse."

"...A curse?" Kanako looked puzzled, but she understood what that characteristic meant.

"Yang, are you not particularly attracted to women?" After all, only through a battle can one understand how deeply hidden his thoughts are.

“...Of course not,” Yang Xiying said righteously, but he was also a little guilty, because liking pretty girls was almost instinctive.
