How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Xia Bo scanned the various data on the display screen. Without hiding anything, he directly informed Qian Ye, who had left the incubator and was walking slowly towards him, of the inspection report.

"You should understand what this means, right? The examination report I received shows that all of your physical indicators are far superior to those of ordinary people. This is just the level of physical strength."

"Of course, the miracle virus cannot infect humans..." Qianye stared at his palm in a daze. The blood flowing beneath the skin was the same bright red as that of others, but perhaps the only thing that was the same was the color.

"Although your father didn't explicitly mention your family structure in his letter, based on this investigation report and some hints in the letter, it's not difficult to guess what the situation is. The Miracle Virus in you is probably inherited from your mother's Pokémon bloodline."

Honestly, even though Xia Bo had anticipated this, he was still taken aback when he saw the report. Historically, there were indeed records of humans and Pokémon mating, but most of them were unverified legends. Today, he had witnessed a modern example.

"I should have noticed a long time ago that my mother, who looks completely human, occasionally reveals a sense of strangeness in her daily behavior."

As for how it manages to always maintain an appearance consistent with humans, is there any need to guess... Maybe my father's research has not failed, and my mother, Touya, is the first Pokémon to complete a miracle evolution.

So what about him? With two different bloodlines, is he a human, or a Pokémon?

The young man with black hair and black eyes was in deep confusion at this moment.

Chapter 108: Nazi's Persuasion

Half his body was immersed in the open-air hot spring water, and thick white mist was floating upward around him, making him feel like he was in a dreamland. Qianye leaned back against the edge of the bathing pool, looking up at the starry night sky in a daze.

After the "physical examination," Qianye and Nazi were invited by Xia Bo to the hotel upstairs for dinner. The food on the table was plentiful, but the young man had no appetite. He only moved his chopsticks a few times before saying he was full and leaving the table.

Qianye went to the bathhouse Xia Bo had mentioned, but not to soak in the hot springs and let the warm water wash away his fatigue. He just wanted a peaceful environment, a place where he could calm down and think clearly about the answer.

From the moment Menghuan told him about the genetic abnormality, he had probably foreseen this day coming. When Xia Bo revealed the truth about his life, Qianye surprisingly didn't feel any strong emotions.

The anger that had been concealed, the fear of his own bloodline... these kinds of emotions did not exist at all. There was only an endless emptiness and a question that had to be answered no matter what - Who am I?

If he were just a human, he would train, practice, challenge gyms, get good or bad rankings in the Quartz Conference, and finally get married and have children, just like in the past. If he were just a Pokémon, he could also leave the city and live in seclusion in the mountains with a group of wild Pokémon.

But Qianye possesses both of these attributes at the same time——

The Pokémon part is absolutely inseparable. Mew has already said that her body is still growing into an inhuman realm, and this process cannot be reversed. The sense of alienation will continue to increase as the body strengthens, until it finally becomes a completely "alien" in human skin.

But he also cannot abandon his "social" attributes as a human being. Family, friends, lover... the emotional ties that connect him with everyone are things that the young man must protect even if he dies.

"Qianye...are you still having trouble?"

The ethereal voice of a young girl came from behind him, and the next moment, smooth and slender arms passed through both sides of his neck, and a soft touch pressed against his back.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, Natsu. I just... there are some things I can't quite figure out. If I just think about it for a while, I should be able to get the answer."

However, after making this reply, the young man felt the slender body behind him pressing closer to him, "Don't run away from me, Qianye... You are always like this, trying to take on everything and solve it all by yourself. Don't you trust me so much?"

"Nazi, I've never had such thoughts before! I..."

A fair hand reached up to cover his mouth, gently blocking out any words. A breath of air gently tickled his ear, and Nancy's whispers echoed in his ears:

"Qianye, do you remember the day we first met? I was treated as an alien because of my superpowers, and I chose to completely close my heart. Perhaps I should have lived a lonely life like this, but then you appeared."

"It was you who accepted everything about me, including this superpower that was considered foreign. It was you... who made me human again."

Her soft voice was filled with the girl's endless love and attachment. How could she just stand by and watch as Qian Ye, who had saved her that day, was now trapped in the same pain as she had been in?

"Qian Ye, stop dwelling on meaningless things. You are you. No matter what identity you use, Qian Ye is the most important person in my heart."

"Even if one day, Qianye, you are no longer accepted by humans, I will always be by your side. After all, I was also considered an alien before, and aliens should be with aliens, right?"

"Nazi..." Qianye's lips moved slightly, and his eyes were about to say something, but more voices came from behind him:

"Qian Ye, there's still me and there's still me!"

"My lord, Bu and Miss Nazi have the same idea."

Kuroko and Umbreon have both transformed into human form at this moment, as if to remind Qianye in this way that they also have the dual identities of human and Pokémon in a sense.

"Pss...sss..."

"You... You."

"Lili!"

The silly little Magnemite, the socially anxious Dratini, and even the Charmander who had just joined this big family not long ago, all appeared at this moment, lighting up the lamp in Qianye's heart and dispelling the fog that shrouded his heart.

Atop the giant sculpture in the center of the bathtub, a black-armored monster had appeared, standing there at some point. Kodora's scarlet eyes looked down, its mouth opening and closing beneath its hard helmet.

"But...but. (It's about time you pulled yourself together. I don't remember you being such a weak man.)"

At this moment, Nancy, who had been clinging to Qianye's back, had already moved in front of him. Her beautiful red eyes fixed him squarely on the boy's face, and she held his face with both hands, making him look into hers.

"Qianye, everyone here has completely different races and personalities, but you have never cared about these things. You treat them all equally as your own family."

"In that case, why can't you also be so tolerant of yourself? There's no difference between human blood and Pokémon blood, just like you and them."

Nancy was right. He was being too fixated on the question of his human and Pokémon bloodlines. After coming to his senses, Qianye's face was no longer confused, and he looked at his family with gentle eyes.

Kuroko on the left couldn't hold back any longer and flew over, his ears twitching as he extended his tongue to lick his cheek furiously. The Umbreon on the right had a slightly apologetic look on his face, lowering his head slightly as he spoke:

"Because Miss Nazi came to Bu to discuss how to solve the lord's psychological problems, Bu took the initiative to bring everyone here. Without asking for the lord's consent beforehand, it's really..."

"Thank you, Moon Eevee. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to figure this out so quickly." He spoke first, interrupting the other party's apology, and rubbed the center of the two long ears with his palm, making Moon Eevee stunned in place.

Then, Qianye paddled to the center of the bath and announced loudly to his Pokémon:

"Since everyone is here, let's enjoy the hot springs together."

Suddenly, the cheers of Qianye's various Pokémon echoed over the hot springs. Not far away, seeing the boy return to his former self, Nancy's pretty face also blossomed into a charming smile.

Chapter 109 Undercover

The Crimson Research Institute, located on the hillside of the Crimson Volcano, is a well-known Pokémon research institute in the Kanto region. In addition to accepting various scientific research projects commissioned by the Alliance, due to its special geographical location, it is also responsible for monitoring the activity of the Crimson Volcano.

Since arriving at Honglian Island, Qianye had heard of the name of this research institute from many people, but this was the first time he had actually set foot here.

Here, researchers in white coats can be seen everywhere. Some sit nervously in front of experimental equipment, staring intently at various parameters on the big screen; some hold a large stack of information in their hands, running around the hall anxiously.

But they all have one common and striking feature - there is almost no hair left on their heads. Even those with younger looks have hairlines raised to a very dangerous altitude.

In this situation, Qianye couldn't help but think of Xia Bo's bright head after he took off his wig... Perhaps this is the inevitable path for all science and engineering men?

"You're here! I was just wondering where to find you." A serious male voice suddenly reached the boy's ears. He looked around and saw the Dragon King Adu, wearing his unchanging cloak style, walking slowly towards him.

And since the Dragon King appeared here, the other King was probably also...

"Brother Qianye, do you miss your sister?"

Two heavy "basketballs" hit his back, and the red-haired lady's arms passed under the boy's armpits and wrapped around his waist intimately.

"Kona, don't delay the important matters." Seeing his colleague doing something that would damage the image of the Four Heavenly Kings, A'du frowned and scolded him harshly.

"What's it to you... or do you want to fight again? It just so happens that the fight yesterday hasn't been decided yet." Kona retorted in a provocative tone, his eyes showing no sign of weakness behind his flat-frame glasses.

If it were in the past, the two would probably have fought again, but this time A'du took the initiative to take a step back, just snorted coldly, and did not continue to argue with the other party.

In a place like yesterday, even if they lost control of the intensity of the battle and damaged something, their salaries could easily cover the cost. But here... starting a war here and letting the aftermath damage some valuable research data would cause losses that could not be measured in money.

A'Du is a person who knows what is important and will not act impulsively here just because he doesn't like it. However, Kona is provocative because he knows this.

Trying his best to ignore Kona behind Qianye, Adu took out a large stack of paper materials, which was the latest report on the miracle virus that he had obtained from the research institute yesterday.

"Qianye, I asked the researchers in charge of the Miracle Virus research yesterday. They said your hypothesis is very inspiring, but due to the short time, they haven't reached a clear conclusion yet."

"These are all the test data on the Miracle Virus from the past. The Alliance has never been able to successfully crack the Miracle Virus's production method. It must be said that the unidentified scientist who was able to invent this thing from scratch is indeed a genius. It's a pity that he didn't use this talent for the right purpose..."

Listening to A'du's slightly heavy words, Qianye could only try his best to suppress his expression from becoming strange. In order to prevent himself from losing control in the end, the young man hurriedly took out a document from the briefcase in his hand.

"Mr. Adu, please take a look at this."

Although he didn't quite understand what it was, seeing Qianye's serious look, A'du still took it and began to read it carefully. However, after reading only a few pages, his eyes suddenly changed and he asked anxiously:

“Qianye, this thing…where did you get it from?”

"What's wrong, Dodo? You look so surprised." Seeing Adu's big reaction, Kona couldn't help but feel curious and asked.

Perhaps because the information had brought him such a huge shock, A'du subconsciously ignored Kona's nickname of "Dodo Bird". He took a deep breath and said, "This thing is the development experiment log of the Miracle Virus... and from the perspective of the recorder, it's probably left by the inventor of the Miracle Virus."

"Huh?" Kona's reaction was the same as Adu's. He grabbed Qianye's shoulders and shook him quickly. "Brother Qianye, what's going on?"

"Calm down, Kona-sister..." Her head felt dizzy from being shaken, and she seemed to see a circle of Jirachi in her eyes. "Someone gave this to me yesterday, but as a condition, I can't reveal his identity."

This mysterious information provider was naturally Xia Bo. When he left the Rocket Team, it seemed that he took away not only the old equipment in the underground laboratory, but also a lot of experimental data from the Rocket Team's scientific research team.

Qian Ye could probably understand the old man's reluctance to reveal his identity. After all, the Red Lotus Research Institute used to be the scientific research department of Team Rocket. Even though it had now become an institution affiliated with the Kanto Alliance, it could not be ruled out that there were still members of Team Rocket lurking within it.

If Team Rocket discovered that he had leaked the information, a ton of trouble would have ensued. If Xia Bo hadn't stumbled upon Qianye, the son of an old friend, and knew that he would never betray him, given his position, he would have kept this secret hidden until his grave.

"Dodo, how much is recorded on it? Is there a way to create a miracle virus?"

Kona's expression was filled with anxiety. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she knew very well that the Evolution Association was not established for long and its foundation was far inferior to that of old criminal groups like the Rockets. The only thing the alliance was afraid of it was the troublesome Miracle Virus.

But if the method of producing the miracle virus is known, the only advantage of the Evolution Association will disappear, and the Alliance will no longer have any concerns about attacking it.

"I don't know. I can't understand these research data, but those researchers can definitely understand them... Qianye, on behalf of the Guandu Alliance, I thank you for the information you brought, but I have to leave now." A'du couldn't wait any longer, and directly grabbed a whole set of information and walked towards the depths of the Red Lotus Research Institute.

"Well done, Qianye. I love you so much!" Kona leaned over excitedly and bit the boy's face hard before he could react.

Then he stood up and followed A'du's footsteps into the laboratory, leaving Qianye touching his face that had just been kissed in a daze.

Everything that happened at the Red Lotus Research Institute was witnessed by two researchers in a corner. One was older, his head a wasteland, while the other was slightly younger, also with a Mediterranean hairstyle. They whispered to each other:

"Teacher, could that guy be the one the boss mentioned? He looks too young."

"It's definitely him. I've seen his photo in public information before. He's the Goblin trainer Qianye. I didn't expect him to appear here... Hey, hey, hey, what are you going to do?" The bald researcher saw his apprentice suddenly rushing forward, and hurriedly reached out to grab his arm to stop him.

"Isn't this a great opportunity? He's definitely not guarding his alliance's research institute. We can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, snatch the black Coronavirus from him, and hand it over to the boss... Maybe the boss will be so pleased that he'll send us back to headquarters for a promotion, and we won't have to lurk here with them anymore, researching those boring projects."

"I think you're crazy! Putting aside the fact that he's known as an evil spirit, that young man is no ordinary person. Two of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto Alliance are here, especially the Ice King Kona... Judging by their intimate behavior, he might be in a relationship with that young man."

"Do you think we can escape the encirclement of the two alliance kings even if we succeed? You're still thinking about getting promoted. You better save your own life first!"

The bald researcher said this, and finally his apprentice gave up the idea of ​​rushing forward. Although he didn't rush forward in the end, the Mediterranean apprentice researcher was still unwilling to give up:

"Damn it! Are we really going to give up this incredible opportunity? Even if we stay in this place for our entire lives, we probably won't be able to produce results that will impress the higher-ups. Advisor, don't you want to take a step forward?"

"I didn't say we should miss this opportunity, but we have to do things in a proper way." Although he looked much calmer than his apprentice, there was still a greedy light in the bald researcher's eyes.

"Listen, I have an idea. We can approach that young man under the guise of a researcher from the Red Lotus Research Institute. Then, we can get the Poké Ball under the pretext of examining him and treating his Pokémon."

"Then we can disguise the Pokémon transporter as a Pokémon checker, place the young man's Poké Ball in it, and pretend to be checking him, but in reality, it will be transported to a designated location. The only thing left is how to escape."

After hearing the plan, the Mediterranean apprentice researcher was suddenly enlightened. "I understand, Master. Once you've completed the Pokémon transfer, I'll take advantage of this opportunity to suddenly burst in and tell them there's an urgent matter requiring their immediate attention. Ask them to wait a moment without touching the equipment."

"This way, we can escape from their sight and buy enough time. By the time they discover something unusual, we'll have already left the institute!"

"This young man is teachable." The bald researcher was very satisfied with his apprentice's ability to understand. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and said:

"Alright, the two Heavenly Kings could appear at any moment. Given their familiarity with the research institute, they're likely to notice our unusual actions. Delays can lead to unexpected consequences. Let's start planning immediately."

Chapter 110: Any unexpected gains?

Originally, after Kona and A'du left, Qianye wanted to take advantage of the time before they came back to take a good look around the Red Lotus Research Institute. However, before he and Nancy took a few steps, a balding old researcher with a warm smile blocked their way.

"Mr. Qianye, right? I'm Bei Dao, a researcher here. I've long heard of you. I'm truly sorry for not welcoming you in person."

"Ah...oh, hello, Dr. Kitajima."

"Mr. Qianye, this is your first time at the Red Lotus Research Institute, right? I'm sure you're not very familiar with it. Would you like me to show you around? Oh, and by the way, would you like to visit the observation platform? Observing the energy fluctuations within the volcano up close is an experience you can only get here."

"Ah this..."

Seeing the young man scratching his head in hesitation, Dr. Kitajima knew that the first step of his plan had been successfully completed.

Suddenly step forward and pour a huge amount of text into the boy's brain as quickly as possible. In this way, the other party will not be able to process a large amount of information at the same time in a short period of time, which will lead to slow thinking ability.

With this foundation, in addition to being able to take control of the action as much as possible, the other party will find it difficult to notice the abnormalities in their actions and language due to their slow thinking.

Although secretly delighted in his heart, Dr. Kitajima's expression did not show anything unusual. He continued to lead the young boy and girl forward, while introducing the various areas and functional facilities in the institute.

After patiently waiting for a while, feeling that the time was ripe, Professor Kitajima suddenly brought up the matter: "Come to think of it, Mr. Qianye is such a powerful trainer, so the Pokémon under his command must be battle-hardened, right?"

"Battles always leave behind various injuries. Mr. Qianye, would you like to have your Pokémon undergo a thorough and comprehensive examination at our research institute?"

"Our examination equipment uses Kanto's most advanced medical technology, and it can reveal hidden injuries that conventional methods can't detect. Since you're here anyway, why not play it safe and get a full examination? Don't worry, there's no charge."
