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

Even though the opponent might switch to Clefairy or a third Pokémon that hasn't been revealed yet, it's still worth it, as the Clefairy's HP will be reduced by 30%.

—Now he only has 50% health left!

"Slowpoke! Hot water!" Yang Xiying then served hot water, and Clefairy responded with the power of the moon.

—Both sides lost 30% of their health, since the Light Wall was gone.

"Slowpoke! Foresight!" Just as Yang Xiying was about to defeat the opposing Clefairy in one fell swoop, she suddenly issued the Foresight command.

Slowpoke still has an advantage over Clefairy, which means he can create traps even under Clefairy's pressure.

Foresight and teleportation are similar to traps like Invisible Rock, and they can't be countered by moves like Clear Fog or Protect.

However, after using Foresight this time, Yang Xiying doesn't plan to use Teleport anymore, since she can now force the opponent to switch Pokémon.

"Hot Water!" Clefairy is now low on health, and Hot Water can take it down, so the opponent has no choice but to switch to a new Pokémon.

"...!"

Officer Jenny is now feeling immense pressure because she has no choice but to let a new Pokémon take Clefairy's place!

This means your Pokémon will be caught in a double attack from both the ability to foresee the future and Slowbro, unless you witness a miracle!

And the reflective wall has disappeared!

"Go, you straw mushroom!"

Replacing Clefairy is a green kangaroo-type Pokémon with a mushroom-shaped head, which is Breloom!

"No wonder you only dare to let Clefairy take the damage when faced with the ability to foresee the future," Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. After Stranglethorn, it's another Hoenn Pokémon!

Moreover, this is a very threatening Pokémon because it has a 100% chance of putting Pokémon to sleep with its mushroom spores.

However, this Pokémon is a Grass/Fighting type, and Premonition can kill it in one hit, since it's a Psychic-type move.

"Flammulina! Finish it off in one turn! Seed Machine Gun—!!!" Officer Jenny gave the new Pokémon a command at this moment.

"Slowpoke! Switch hands!"

Yang Xiying also switched Pokémon without hesitation; Breloom and Slowbro could not stay on the field, regardless of whether Breloom had mushroom spores or not.

Slowbro now only has 40% health left, and one Grass-type move from the opponent can render it unable to fight.

Slowpoke vanished at that moment, transforming into Forretos! Breatha also unleashed a barrage of golden energy blasts from its mouth!

Forrettos was killed instantly, but the opposing Breath-shroom also suffered the punishment of foreseeing the future, with its health bar immediately reaching zero!

However, the opponent was still able to stand up because it had an imposing aura, which relieved Yang Xiying.

Just as many people don't know that the Bream can produce mushroom spores, the opponent didn't bring one either, since it's better to use it early and enjoy the benefits.

—Now Yang Xiying can safely send her into battle! Azure Flame Blade Demon! Rebirth!

"Come back, Breloom!" Officer Jenny sensed the danger upon seeing this Pokémon and immediately recalled her Breloom!

—She still needs it to deal with the Slowpoke!

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost! Get fit!"

Because Azure Flame Blade Demon has an advantageous matchup against Mushroom, Yang Xiying can unleash her power-ups without restraint.

This is all to prevent the opponent from switching out Arcanine, which is quite difficult for Azure Blade Demon to bite.

Although this also carries the risk of gambling, because if the opponent's Breath of Fire is trained to its maximum speed, it can surpass the movement speed of Azure Blade Demon.

Moreover, the opponent's revealed seed machine gun is a continuous attack with a chance to hit five times! That should be enough to defeat the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Since Shatter Armor will trigger five times as a result, and the opponent also has Rock-type moves, we can only gamble from here on out.

I'm betting the opponent's seed machine gun can only attack three times! I'm betting the opponent's Rock-type moves won't hit me!

—For this reason, Yang Xiying activated full synchronization mode!

"Awooo!" But the opponent still switched to Arcanine! Should I say I gambled right or wrong?

—Although the opponent's intimidation attack reduced Azure Flame Blade Demon's attack power by another step.

"Arcanine! Mad Volt!" Officer Jenny was also under a lot of pressure; she didn't dare let her low-health Breloom face off against Blademaster.

Now we can only let Arcanine take the hit!

"Azure Blade Demon! Close Combat!" Yang Xiying gave the command at this moment, but Arcanine with a base Speed ​​stat of 95 was still faster!

Arcanine, its body crackling with lightning, rammed into Azure Blade Ghost, sending it flying and reducing its health by 30%. However, Arcanine's health also dropped by 20%!

Wild Volt is a move that deals damage but also inflicts 1/3 of that damage on the user! And the item it carries is the Life Orb!

With a few powerful punches, Azure Flame Blade Demon completely overwhelmed Arcanine, causing its health bar to drop by 50%!

"Arcanine! Morning Light!" But Officer Jenny felt she could still seize the opportunity because Arcanine was faster than the opponent!

—You can recover your health now!

"Azure Blade Demon! Close Combat!" However, this time Azure Blade Demon was ahead of Arcanine, and with a few punches and a pat on the head, it took down its opponent!

"Your Pokémon has the Shatter Armor ability...?"

Looking at the blazing Azure Flame Blade, Officer Jenny realized something and figured out the Pokémon's characteristics.

“The answer is obvious,” Yang Xiying said with a slight smile, while Officer Jenny took a deep breath. “I lost this match.”

PS: I'm so eager to fight, I'm sorry I'm only updating now. It's a combined chapter, so I owe 23 chapters. Oh no, it's the second day already, and I haven't even counted the new votes and criticisms yet, so there are still 24 chapters to go.

NO.125 Letting a wolf into the house!

"Mr. Yang, how many women have you had romantic relationships with through Pokémon battles?"

After leaving only the Breloom with low health as her last Pokémon, Officer Jenny felt she had little hope of winning.

—After all, there was also a Azure Flame Blade Demon on the other side that had triggered the Shattered Armor trait.

However, after admitting defeat, she also noticed the deep longing behind Yang Xiying, and she knew she had to fulfill it.

This is only natural, but I never expected that there would actually be someone in this world with such an unwavering belief that money can't buy.

But does this mean that if the girl wins a Pokémon battle, she'll...? I've practically let a wolf into my house...

"...Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?"

After the battle ended, Yang Xiying suddenly felt a sense of relief, as the battle had been quite thrilling and exciting.

If the opposing Bruxelle has mushroom spores, and even dares to try and out-attack with the number of attacks from the Seed Machine Gun, I might not necessarily win.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiying felt an overwhelming sense of crisis. She still needed to continue her cultivation, but Officer Jenny's words made her feel even more threatened.

Asking oneself how many women one has had romantic relationships with—is that what one would call a public official? Look beyond the surface!

"I'm sorry, but please take me with you."

The woman in front of him, Ms. Officer Jenny, with her somber face and unreadable expression, was quite intimidating to Yang Xiying, who had a guilty conscience.

—And what I did was practically extortion.

So, should I turn myself in and try to get leniency, or should I flee down the path of evil and never turn back?

"Is there nothing I need to take you with me?" Yang Xiying was met with a puzzled look from Officer Jenny, which left him somewhat confused.

"Uh, Officer Jenny, weren't you planning to interrogate me about developing a romantic relationship with a girl through Pokémon battles?"

"—Besides, I also think this kind of thing is not good."

"It's really not good. After all, Mr. Yang will have a hard time if he continues like this, since he has to deal with so many girls."

Officer Jenny nodded, looking thoughtful, which left Yang Xiying somewhat bewildered. So, sister, you're still worried about my health?

"Oh no, Miss Officer Jenny, don't you think I'm deliberately using Pokémon battles to attract girls?"

“How could it be intentional?” Officer Jenny put her hands on her hips, her expression strange. “After all, the thoughts you’ve shown can’t be replaced by money.”

"—This is clearly an unavoidable curse."

"You...! Can you understand me?" Yang Xiying looked like she had met a kindred spirit. Without any explanation, the other person realized it was a curse!

"Of course, it's also possible that you, Yang, are someone who appreciates all kinds of beauty in the world. So, which one are you?"

"..."

Yang Xiying suddenly turned his face away. Which one was he?! He was certain it was a curse, but he did indeed like beautiful girls…

“Of course, I will help you no matter which one it is,” Yang Xiying said as he was lost in thought when a pair of hands suddenly cupped his cheeks.

"..." Yang Xiying was also somewhat stunned as she accepted the pull of these hands and turned her head to face Miss Officer Jenny's mature and beautiful face.

"I will help you get rid of this thought. Besides, in all my years of working, no one has ever dared to express this feeling through Pokémon battles."

Officer Jenny smiled, a hint of shyness on her face, and Yang Xiying couldn't help but respond.

"What... what are you going to do about your work? It's almost four o'clock now."

"It's okay, I can still take a day off. Besides, helping you solve your problem is the most important thing right now, and my colleagues will understand."

Officer Jenny leaned close to Yang Xiying's cheek, and this conscientious public servant took a long-awaited leave.

When I sent my female colleague, who was a junior colleague, to visit her, she would reluctantly open the door and could only peek out her sweaty head.

Xiafei looked very weak, clearly suffering from a high fever, so they could only leave the gifts outside the door and leave.

"Has she left?" Sensing that only Officer Jenny was in the room and that the door was locked from the inside, Yang Xiying climbed in through the window.

“I’m leaving,” Officer Jenny replied calmly, but her expression was somewhat strange. “But you’re so skilled at climbing over walls.”

—She now feels that Yang Xiying's curse was not a curse.

"...Ahem, I was just trying to protect your reputation, wasn't I?" Yang Xiying coughed lightly in response, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Do you like me to ambush you from behind when you open the door and talk to your colleagues?" Yang Xiying's expression suddenly turned serious as she thought of something.

He initially thought that Officer Jenny was a serious and earnest person, but in private... those moves made him feel like he wanted to try them out after reading them in the comics.

“…!” Officer Jenny’s face turned pale and then red, and her heart started racing. “How could this be, you idiot?”

“…However, it’s not good to suddenly stop. Here, take this,” Officer Jenny suddenly walked over and handed Yang Xiying a silver bracelet.

"...What is this?"

“Use it on me.”

"?"

……

This seemingly serious and approachable older sister actually lets loose quite a bit when she lowers her guard...

Yang Xiying returned to the Pokémon Center at around 9 p.m., and he was feeling a bit tired due to overwork.

Because she had eaten at Officer Jenny's before, Yang Xiying didn't have to go out to buy food and encounter various incidents like she did yesterday.

Now Yang Xiying just needs to stay at the Pokémon Center...

"Hey? Isn't this Yang Xiying?" Just as Yang Xiying was walking towards the accommodation area, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

“…Crimson? How did you end up in Dark Grey City?” Turning around, Yang Xiying suddenly spotted an unexpected guy.

—And this was Crimson, whom I hadn't seen for more than three months.

"Ah, that's a long story," Crimson scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly. "I'm going to the cafeteria for a big meal now, let's talk slowly."

"Oh."

Yang Xiying nodded. He was still very interested in how Chi Hong got here. When they contacted each other before, he heard that Chi Hong had been wandering around Kuye City.

Could it be that he took that path...?

"You really did travel from the Diglett burrow next to Vermilion City to Route 2?" Yang Xiying said incredulously as she listened to Red recount his experience.

To get from Vermilion City to Pewter City, I heard online that the shortest route, besides having a Pokémon carry you in flight, is to go through the nearby Diglett Burrow.

As the name suggests, it is a burrow dug by a groundhog, but over time, the burrow gets bigger and bigger and eventually forms a tunnel that people can pass through.

The route is from Vermilion City to Pygmalion City, which can be reached in one day, but it is still a bit dangerous as it is a cave.

If you're not a seasoned Pokémon trainer, it's best not to try this, but Red does seem to have improved quite a bit.

“Yes, we originally intended to explore that cave, but we ended up here,” Crimson nodded in response.
