How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Forget it! That Kokodora was already seriously injured and couldn't possibly run far. The most urgent thing now was to deal with this little devil in front of him.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became dangerous and he shouted, "Rada! How long are you going to tangle with that low-level Pokémon?"

Hearing the scolding from his master, Lada's fat body trembled slightly, and he twisted his body hard, finally shaking off the coyote dog on his thigh. He turned quickly, his small but sharp eyes staring at the other dog fiercely. Heizi was not to be outdone, and immediately glared back with a low growl.

"Kuroko, don't fight with the opponent. Run at full speed towards the opponent's trainer." Before the two Pokémon collided again, Qianye's order came. Without any hesitation, Kuroko turned around and rushed towards the Pokémon hunter.

"Heh, you're a quick learner..." The hunter sneered, "But you don't really think a mere coyote dog can outrun my Lada, do you? Lada, come back here!"

Indeed, as a fully evolved Pokémon, Rattata is much faster than Houndoom. Even with extraordinary talent, it is impossible to bridge this huge racial gap.

However, despite initially slowly closing the distance, the distance remained stable at just an arm's length. It looked like just a little more effort would be enough to reach him, but even with all his might, Lada kept close on Kuroko's tail, yet he couldn't completely catch up.

Seeing that the coyote was about to pounce on him, the man finally lost his patience. He stretched his uninjured left hand behind him, trying to take out a new Poké Ball, and gave an impatient order:

"Rada! Grab it in a flash!"

Upon hearing the command, Lada, who was already running very fast, was instantly covered by white light. A lightning-like object passed by, and Lada instantly rushed to the top of Kuroko, and hit the opponent's waist with his head.

This move was not very powerful, but it successfully prevented Kuroko from moving forward. Rada's entire body pressed on Kuroko's back, and his sharp white fangs were revealed again.

"So that's how it is. Your coyote's characteristic is to run away, right?" Seeing that the crisis was over, the man calmed down and figured out the boy's intention.

"Pokémon with the Run Ability's movement speed increases significantly when they're not using moves, which is why you didn't let your Coyote continue its attack. Plus, the bite on Rattata's thigh slowed it down, so if it weren't for that lightning flash, you would have succeeded."

Looking at where Qianye was, the young man could no longer hold on. Longlongshi suddenly exerted force and threw him directly to the ground next to him.

"But that's all..." He raised his hand, showing the third Poké Ball he had just taken out. "Since you've struggled so hard, let this be the end of your life."

With a sinister grin, the man pressed the button on the Poké Ball with his index finger... No! Before he could actually press it, a silver-white figure pounced from behind onto his left arm!

There was a crisp sound of crackling, followed by a scream that resounded through the sky. The Poké Ball that failed to be opened flew out of his hand. The man who had been confident of victory had now fallen to the ground, with a Kokodora fixed on his limp left arm.

As Kokodora loosened his grip, blood spurted out like a column of water. The hunter, with a pale face, trembled his lips and tried to cover the wound with his other hand... but he forgot that his right arm had been disabled in the same way long ago.

Seeing this, Longlongshi and Lada tried to rush back to rescue their master, but Kokodora's violent blue eyes stopped them. At the current distance, their master's throat might be bitten off before they could reach him.

The two Pokémon didn't dare to move, but Qianye and Kuroko had no such concerns at all. One man and one pet dragged their injured bodies and slowly walked to Kokodora's side.

"Thank you very much." Qianye lowered his head and thanked the Kokodora sincerely. At a certain moment just now, he was really worried that the other party would just leave like that.

In response to the boy's gratitude, Kokodora simply turned her head away with disdain and continued to stare vigilantly at the two enemies opposite who dared not move.

Never mind, at least she has no hostility towards me now... Not caring about Kokodora's attitude, Qianye bent down and began to search the backpack of the Pokémon hunter they had subdued together.

Anesthetics, special ropes, nets...all the equipment is available, whether it is for Pokémon or other humans.

Although theoretically speaking, this guy with both arms disabled was not a threat, but just to be on the safe side, the boy took out the hemp rope he had just found and tied up the man's hands and feet tightly.

"It's getting very late." After finishing the work at hand, Qianye looked up and found that the sky had been completely covered by darkness before he knew it.

"But it's impossible to spend the night here now. I hope the police can come soon..." Long before tying up the gangster, Qianye had already sent a distress signal through the Pokémon Encyclopedia. Logically speaking, Viridian City is not far from here, and Miss Junsha there should be able to arrive soon.

"As for you two... if you don't want the master to be in danger, come in here." The boy took out the blank Poké Ball he had also searched for and looked at Rhydon and Rattata. It was too tiring to keep staring at these two guys. For safety reasons, it would be better to let them come in here.

"How is this possible..." The man lying flat on the ground suddenly murmured. Due to excessive blood loss, he almost didn't have the strength to speak. If Qian Ye hadn't put a bandage on him when he tied him up, he would have been a cold corpse by now.

"I actually... I actually fell into the hands of a little devil and a low-level Pokémon?"

This guy looked like he was already unconscious, but the boy was too lazy to persuade him to save his energy and was about to open the Poké Ball... However, when he caught a glimpse of madness that suddenly appeared on the pale face from the corner of his eye, Qianye immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Rumble Stone! Big Bang!" The scream was like a last gasp of light, bound to drag everything around into the madness of hell.

When he saw the bright light bursting out from the spherical boulder, Qianye realized that it was too late to escape. His first reaction was to grab the man on the ground and use him as a shield in front of him. Then... he turned his back to the bright light and hugged Kokodora and Kuroko in his arms.

The quiet of the night was broken by a loud explosion, startling the birds in the forest. A group of bandaged little Rada poked their heads out from the grass, looking in the direction of the sound with worried eyes.

With a violent impact, broken rocks shot out in all directions, easily destroying the first line of defense. Qianye gritted his teeth, feeling his back being instantly ripped apart, as a foreign object forcibly pierced his chest, sending his internal organs churning violently.

In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer. The boy spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". A cold feeling flowed down his forehead and his vision became blurred.

"Cough cough..." The explosion ended. He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but start coughing up blood.

Qianye couldn't see clearly what was in front of him, so he could only rely on touch to feel. Amidst the furry touch, he seemed to have touched some kind of cold liquid.

His heart trembled, and his vision cleared in an instant. He had one hand on Kuroko's face, tears streaming from his large eyes, flowing directly onto the boy's fingers. Beside him, Kokodora lowered her head, her silvery-white body trembling.

Apart from his own blood, they had no new wounds... Qianye felt relieved. He placed his other hand on Kokodora's armor. The other party raised his head. There was not fear in his blue eyes, but another strong emotion...incomprehensible and unbelievable.

Qianye smiled, "Little guy, I've saved you this time. I won't owe you anything from now on..."

Before he could finish his words, the boy's consciousness had already stopped, and his head drooped heavily. Before he completely fell into chaos, he could only vaguely hear Kuroko's anxious shouts...

……

When he regained consciousness, Qianye could only see a white area with a huge light bulb hanging in the middle, emitting a pale yellow light.

"So heaven is so simple... none of that idiotic old dad's stories are believable." He couldn't help but grumble. The boy didn't think he could survive after blocking a massive explosion. After all, he was just a weakling...

"This is not a paradise, but a hospital in Viridian City." A gentle voice came from my ears. I subconsciously looked sideways and saw two women standing very close to me. One had pink twintails and was wearing a nurse's uniform, and the other had green wavy hair and was wearing a police uniform.

"Anyway, I'm glad you woke up. Both of your Pokémon were worried about you."

My two Pokémon… Qianye was slightly startled and turned his head to the side. On the windowsill slightly above, two familiar little creatures lay there. Seeing his gaze turned, Kuroko shouted happily several times, while Kokodora lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably.

"I'm really sorry." Miss Junsha, who was wearing a police uniform, spoke, her pretty face full of self-blame.

"Due to some unexpected circumstances, we arrived at the scene very late, and then we saw the two little guys desperately calling for help. If you didn't wake up in the end, I really..."

"Alright, sister," Nurse Joy said, interrupting the other person's confession helplessly. "Let the child rest for a while. He just woke up, and his brain can't process too much information yet."

"Little guys, can you take good care of your master?" With a warm smile, Miss Joy looked at the two Pokémon on the windowsill.

Heizi responded with a few brisk calls, then jumped onto the bed and carefully rubbed Qianye's cheek. Cocodora glanced at Joey, then at the boy on the bed, and nodded slightly.

So, Joey and Junsha left the ward, leaving Qianye alone with the two Pokémon...

Chapter 6: Is your Coco Dora legal?

"Alright, I'm fine now, aren't I?" He stroked the fur on Heizi's neck, the warmth and furry touch making him want to let go. At this moment, Qianye's mind had become somewhat clearer, and his memories from before he lost consciousness had also successfully returned.

I really didn't expect to survive this time...

Thinking of his previous experience, the boy felt a wave of fear. A brush with death was not a pleasant experience. If the hunter had not blocked most of the impact, he might not have survived until the police arrived.

Speaking of which, what happened to that hunter? It wasn't his safety that worried him, but whether he was dead. In the ten years since he was born, that scumbag was the first person whose appearance Qianye felt so strongly filled with anger and hatred.

But I've become like this... Although my limbs can move freely now, my back still burns with pain. I don't know if the stone fragments inside have been removed. As for that bastard, even if he survives, he probably won't be able to escape.

"Awoo?" Seeing his little master suddenly frown, Heizi rubbed him in confusion.

"...Why think about that kind of guy if there's nothing to do." Qianye lifted up Kuroko's two front legs and rubbed the soft flesh on his palms. He immediately put all the hunter matters behind his mind and felt very happy.

Suddenly, the boy felt something hard bumping against his waist. He looked down and saw that Kokodora had jumped onto his bed at some point.

"Hey, so you haven't left yet?" Qianye said subconsciously.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment the boy seemed to see a "well" character stretched out on Kokodora's silver-white head in a very humane way, and then he gathered all his strength and attacked his kidneys.

"Wait...it hurts!"

Damn it, that collision almost broke my kidney! Qianye howled miserably, holding onto his waist while looking at Kokodora with resentful eyes:

"Is this how you treat your benefactor? I'm seriously injured!"

The boy responded with a cold eye roll.

"So what do you want now? The guy who hunted you is either dead or captured. You have nothing to worry about anymore. Go wherever you want."

A clear sound like metal interlacing rang out. Kokodora raised his head and met Qianye's eyes. Looking into those large, azure eyes, the young man seemed to understand something:

"Do you want to... follow me?"

Kokodora nodded slightly.

"Should I shout out at this point that I've tamed Kokodora... or something like that? Forget it, that kind of line is too embarrassing..." Qian Ye muttered to himself while scratching his chin. He seemed unaware of the indescribable joy and excitement in his heart.

"Anyway, please give me your guidance in the future, Kokodora." The young man smiled and stretched out his palm to the silver-white little guy. For some reason, seeing the sunny smile, Kokodora suddenly felt dazed. When she reacted, one foot was already on the other's palm.

Kokodora quickly retracted her iron foot and regained her nonchalant expression.

"Well... since we're partners now, it wouldn't be nice to keep calling you Kokodora. You're dressed in silver and white, so you're a perfect match for Kuroko..."

Hearing Qianye's words, Kokodora felt a sense of unease. Looking at the young man's complacent look, she silently turned her head towards his waist.

"It's decided. I'll call you Baizi... Hey, hey, don't bump into me again! I told you it hurts!"

……

"You must never try to be brave on your own when you encounter something like this in the future. You're just a child. This kind of thing is too dangerous for you, understand?"

The green-haired Miss Junsha lectured him sternly, and the young man before her could only nod helplessly. Qianye's recovery speed had surpassed everyone's expectations. In just two days, all the bandages on his body had been removed. Now fully mobile, he was about to embark on his journey once again.

As for the two little guys, one black and one white, they leaned on both sides of his thighs, one on the left and one on the right. Kokodora finally did not accept the name "Bai Zi". Although they had decided to follow him, they were not completely obedient.

Another unexpected thing is that Kokodora is also a firm "no-ball" advocate, which is a small problem... After all, although the little guy is small in size, he is not light in weight at all. If he evolves into a behemoth like Boscodora, it is really not suitable to be put on the street.

However, this isn't something I need to consider right now. Given the resources Kokodora needs to evolve, it'll take a long time...

"By the way, Miss Junsha, I think you guys caught that Pokémon hunter, right?"

"I can't say we caught him..." Miss Junsha's expression suddenly turned strange. "Basically, when we arrived, that guy was already... how should I put it, not quite there. We couldn't even confirm his identity at first."

"However, after sending you to the hospital, we conducted a focused search of the surrounding area and discovered a truck carrying a large number of illegally captured Pokémon from other regions. After comparing the keys we found on the man, we were able to confirm his identity... As for those poor Pokémon, the Alliance will transfer them to other regions."

"That's good." After hearing the news, Qian Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to." Miss Junsha's face turned serious again, remembering something. "That Pokémon hunter should have been planning to trade in Viridian City. Now the deal is definitely impossible. The buyer in Viridian City might try to find the person who ruined his business."

"If you don't plan to stay in Viridian City for long, you'd better leave as soon as possible..."

……

At the Pokémon Center, Qianye looked at the workers moving things back and forth, and said to himself with a look of doubt on his face, "I think I'm in the right place, right?"

It's no wonder the boy thought so. Compared to the Pokémon Center he had in mind, the facilities here looked too simple, as if they were built temporarily.

"Ahem, there was an accident here recently. The Pokémon Center is undergoing emergency repairs and reconstruction. Please don't mind it..." The pink-haired nurse also looked a little embarrassed. While explaining, she led Qianye to the communicator.

"Excuse me, Miss Joy." Qianye nodded and walked forward, dialing a few numbers on the phone on the table. Soon, the monitor lit up.

"Long time no see, Professor Oak." Seeing the energetic old man on the screen, Qianye greeted him familiarly.

"Oh, it's Qianye. Have you arrived in Viridian City as well?"

"also?"

"Yeah, among all the kids from Pallet Town, you're probably the last one to reach Viridian City. Even Satoshi spoke to me the day before yesterday, so he should have already entered Viridian Forest by now."

Xiaozhi's here too? That's a bit surprising. I remember that guy having a bad sense of direction... Never mind, I shouldn't be thinking about that right now.

"Doctor, can you help me find my parents? I promised them I'd contact them once I got to the Viridian City Gym."

"No problem, Genta has already looked for me several times." After saying this, Professor Oak left the screen. After waiting for about ten minutes, a familiar bearded uncle entered Qianye's sight.

"What took you so long, little brat? Did you cause any trouble?"

"Don't worry, Dad. It just took me a while to meet a new friend." Qianye had no intention of telling them about the Pokémon Hunter. To quickly change the subject, he picked up Heizi, who was standing at his feet. As for Kokodora... before the boy could say anything, it climbed onto his shoulder.

"Oh, Kuroko looks pretty energetic too. And that new friend you mentioned... I see, is that this Kokodora?"

Genta looked at Kokodora's silver body for a moment, then revealed a look of satisfaction: "Very good. By the way, I remember there should be a gym in Viridian City..."

“Stop, stop, stop!” Knowing that his father was determined to push him down the dark path of a trainer again, Qianye immediately interrupted his father’s spellcasting: “I’ve already checked the Viridian Gym, and it’s closed.”

"Closed tightly?" Yuan Tai was slightly stunned when he heard that.
