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

Xiaoxia has a boyfriend who will go sightseeing with her on the Hualian Coast, but this boyfriend is practically nonexistent.

When the protagonist challenges the Cerulean Gym and comes looking for him, the guy who's with Misty will be scared away and then disappear without a trace.

"Excuse me, is that Ms. Xia, the headmaster of the Hua Lan Dojo over there?" Of course, regardless of whether that person was her boyfriend Yang Xiying or not, she still had to greet her.

This way, she could confirm if Xiaoxia really had a boyfriend, and then she could slip away, given her troublesome nature...

I can only say that I have never met any Pokémon trainers who are couples, and this cannot be handled like a group of older women!

——! ! !

Yang Xiying's words startled the two of them, and they both turned to look at Yang Xiying with surprised expressions.

The man even ran down from the platform in fear, leaving without even glancing at Yang Xiying.

—In the end, only Xiaoxia remained, glaring at him with a dissatisfied expression.

"Why did you suddenly jump out at a time like this?" Xiaoxia walked over to Yang Xiying and scolded her, hands on her hips, looking angry.

"Ah...sorry," Yang Xiying was speechless. Now he could confirm that the other person was indeed a couple.

"I instinctively greeted the celebrities I saw. I'm so sorry for interrupting your date. I'll make it up to you."

This is exactly like the original story...

"What can you offer me in return? Someone just confessed their love to me! This is the first time in my life I've ever done this!"

"Huh? First time?"

PS: Second update! Seventeen more chapters to go.

Chapters 147 and 148 are swimsuit episodes!

What do you mean? Are you mocking me?

Seeing Yang Xiying's sudden surprised expression, Xiaoxia immediately frowned, revealing her displeasure.

“No,” Yang Xiying shook her head, “I just think Miss Xiaoxia looks like the popular type, so I think she will have many suitors.”

"…!" Xiaoxia's voice faltered. "Even if you say that, you won't be happy, you little rascal!"

Isn't it only natural that she's popular? The young gym leader of Cerulean City, and a renowned swimming champion.

The strongest Water-type Pokémon Trainer in the Kanto region, so he can hear people around him praising him.

She even has the nickname "playful mermaid," but not many people actually pursue her.

Although my ideal type is a handsome, self-reliant guy who is older and taller than me, not only strong in battle, but also gentle and understanding.

But surely not everyone is too afraid to confess their feelings to her? This time, a man finally mustered up the courage to come over, and then…

"Then let me help you find someone? What type of opposite sex do you like?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle as she devised a way to make amends.

"...Gulp," Xiaoxia was a little at a loss when Yang Xiying suddenly did this, "Why are you suddenly acting like the aunt next door, taking care of the young people's life-long affairs?"

“Let’s stick to the facts. If you want to find a boyfriend, I’ll try to create some opportunities for you,” Yang Xiying replied matter-of-factly.

"But that guy who wanted to confess but ran away because of someone else's shouts isn't very reliable," he said, changing the subject.

"A lively and lovely girl like you should have higher standards," said the guy who backed down at the crucial moment, looking utterly miserable...

Speaking of which, the original HeartGold and SoulSilver games weren't really like that. After Xiaoxia's boyfriend was scared away by the game's male protagonist, he disappeared without a trace.

Later, the male protagonist connects with Misty through Pokémon battles, obtains her contact information, and can even arrange to meet her at a specific location for another battle via phone.

The main character can even be called by specific terms like "troublemaker" or "annoying person." If Pokémon battles were changed to something else, it would basically be...

cough cough.

"...You don't need to say that," Xiaoxia said with a strange expression, but what the other person said was true, that person was not suitable.

"I was originally planning to refuse because I still want to become a true Water-type Pokémon Master and can't let my emotions sway me."

"I want to be number one in the world. Men are just a hindrance, right?" Yang Xiying teased, which made Xiaoxia retort.

"Are you trying so hard to make me angry? You jerk!" That's true, but why does it sound so grating?

"And you like to judge others so much, what about yourself? With six Poké Balls hanging from your waist, you're not an ordinary Pokémon Trainer, are you?"

"So... you want to have a Pokémon battle with me?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, while the other side just snorted.

"I really want to have a Pokémon battle with you to vent my frustration, but I am, after all, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City."

"Private duels are too low-class, but you probably haven't obtained the blue badge yet, since I do have some impression of challengers."

"...Are you so sure I'll engage in Pokémon battles for the gym badge?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise what? You've already caught six Pokémon. If you're just going to keep them as pets, you might as well apply to become a Pokémon breeder."

Xiaoxia's expression was strange.

"Of course, even doing this now requires a few badges to prove yourself. And don't you want your future path to be wider and longer?"

“Haha, I really can’t deny that the road ahead is wider and farther,” Yang Xiying smiled. “I really do want to challenge the Cerulean Gym.”

"So please take good care of me tomorrow, Miss Xiaoxia. My name is Yang Xiying, a Pokémon trainer from Yan Country."

As she spoke, Yang Xiying also extended her hand.

"Come back to me for guidance after you pass the Level 1 Gym Trial," and the other person reached out and shook hands in response.

"—And your name is really a mouthful."

“Level one is quite easy for me,” Yang Xiying replied casually as she released the other person’s hand.

"If you find my name hard to pronounce, you can call me Yang, or Mr. Yang."

"I'll let you call me that after you beat me," Xiaoxia pouted, then looked at the sky and decided it was time to go back.

"It's getting late, Gyarados!" With that, Misty summoned a Pokémon, which was none other than Gyarados!

Despite the ferocity of the creature, Xiaoxia straddled it without fear, even though Gyarados doesn't know any flying moves.

—But it can still fly, and its size also gives it the characteristics of a mount.

"If you want to battle me, you'll need to prepare a Pokémon that's about as strong as your child's. By the way, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Xiaoxia, sitting on Gyarados's back, also turned her gaze to Yang Xiying, saying that she didn't even know why the other party had come here.

"No, I came here to deliver a package to a friend, but he's not home right now," Yang Xiying replied directly.

"friend?"

Xiaoxia suddenly froze. There was only one resident on Route 25... As she was thinking this, she heard a sound coming from afar.

"You over there, are you Yang Xiying?"

The voice also drew Xiaoxia and Yang Xiying's attention, and they discovered that it was a brown-haired man wearing a purple shirt and khaki trousers.

"Are you Mr. Zheng Hui?" Yang Xiying asked, as his appearance and clothing were similar to Professor Oak's description.

"It's me. I'm sorry, the lighthouse was malfunctioning and I'm only getting here now. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Zheng Hui nodded and walked towards Yang Xiying.

“It’s alright, a lighthouse malfunction is no small matter,” Yang Xiying shook her head. A lighthouse is a navigational beacon that guides you at sea.

"Haha, thanks for understanding. Oh? Gyarados, and isn't this Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City?"

"You're here too? And with Yang Xiying?" Zheng Hui only realized there were other people he knew when he got closer.

"—Is this a date?"

As the inventor of the Pokémon Storage system, Bill naturally knows many people, including Misty.

The other party is quite famous in Cerulean City, but I have only met them a few times for business.

"No way!" Xiaoxia retorted angrily, her anger rising at Zheng Hui's guess. "Why would you think that, Mr. Zheng Hui?"

"Haha, sorry, sorry," Zheng Hui scratched his head, "After all, most people who come to Hualan Cape are in pairs."

"—So I'm just using habitual thinking to make a guess. I apologize if this offends you."

"It's alright, I should go back now. Gyarados, bounce!" Misty shook her head, then gave the command and leaped into the air with Gyarados!

"To make Gyarados carry people in flight, he truly lives up to his reputation as the Cerulean City Gym Leader," Zheng Hui couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the figure disappear into thin air.

"Alright, Yang Xiying, let's go inside and talk about it," Zheng Hui said, turning his attention to Yang Xiying.

“Okay,” Yang Xiying nodded, then went into Zheng Hui’s house and handed him the things that Professor Oak had sent.

"Oh, this is exactly what I wanted," Zheng Hui said with a look of surprise as he received the package from Yang Xiying.

"I really appreciate your help, Yang Xiying. I must say, the kids from Zhenxin Town have helped me a lot."

"I just don't have a ticket for the St. Anne's this time, but you'll still get your due reward."

"I just don't know what you want."

"Uh, there's no need to be so formal. I'm just running an errand. Treating me to a meal and a cup of tea will suffice."

Yang Xiying responded politely.

"Haha, this is actually Professor Oak's idea. He said you helped him a lot, so he wanted to give you something as a way of repaying you."

Zheng Hui smiled and spoke.

"But the only thing I can think of is giving away a Pokémon. He wants you to choose one of Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander."

"However, he has never heard you have such thoughts, and your current Pokémon team has all Fire, Water and Grass-type Pokémon."

"So, it's better if you just tell me yourself. Hmm, now you can tell me, what Pokémon do you want?"

He collected a large number of Pokémon as a Pokémon fanatic, but these kids also need a chance to express their individuality.

These tasks can be entrusted to trusted Pokémon Trainers, which is why Professor Oak asked me to do it.

"Uh, I don't want to add any new Pokémon companions for the time being," Yang Xiying replied. He currently has about nine Pokémon.

Aside from Azure Blade, Ghost Giant Vine, Slowbro, Forretress, and four other characters that are almost fully geared, Primeape, Dugtrio, Porygon, and two Baby Pikachu and Zubat are all baby-sized.

—If another one comes, I really won't be able to take care of them all by myself.

"Is that so..." Zheng Hui noticed the Pokémon on his waist and understood. "Your Pokémon collection is indeed full."

"In that case, let's put this aside for now. Just tell me when you want a Pokémon."

“I understand,” Yang Xiying nodded, but seeing Zheng Hui’s relaxed demeanor, he couldn’t help but speak up.

"—By the way, is any Pokémon acceptable?"

“Yes,” Zheng Hui nodded, then changed the subject, “but I suggest you choose a Pokémon that is generally harder to obtain.”

"Take Porygon for example. It's basically controlled by the Pokémon League. Last time, Professor Oak's grandson asked me for a Porygon."

"—There are still two. One is said to be a gift for a friend in Zhenxin Town, and that is you, Yang Xiying."

"Eh? So Mr. Zheng Hui, you helped me get the 3D dragon?" Yang Xiying immediately showed a surprised expression.

—No one has told him this yet.

"Yes, so I can help you find Pokémon that are about as rare as Porygon. Yang, do you know about Eevee?"

Zheng Hui smiled and spoke, then posed a question to the other side, to which Yang Xiying responded directly.

"Of course, evolved Pokémon have many possible evolutions due to the instability of their genes, but their numbers are very small."

"That's right, Eevee is an incredible Pokémon. The fact that it can evolve into three different types of Pokémon was already a great discovery."

"Shortly after that, we found Espeon and Umbreon in the Johto region, and Leafeon and Glaceon in the Sinnoh region."

"In Kalos, the region where the existence of Fairy-type Pokémon was first discovered, Sylveon even appeared," said Bill, becoming excited as he spoke.

"I'm starting to wonder if Eevee has any new evolutions..." He started to get into the conversation.

After all, Eevee is Bill's favorite Pokémon, and Yang Xiying can use this topic to continue the conversation about Pokémon with the other person.

Of course, the conversation didn't last long, because Yang Xiying had to go back to the Pokémon Center to prepare for tomorrow's gym challenge.

However, he did manage to become acquainted with Zheng Hui and even got his contact information.

……

The next day, Yang Xiying didn't encounter any problems at night like she did in Dark Gray City, and she slept soundly all the way back to the hotel.

After getting up and quickly washing up, I headed towards the Cerulean Gym, which is actually not far from the Pokémon Center.
