Ditto doesn't move

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Xiang." The old man sat down at the table and said, "Go to school as soon as you finish eating. Don't worry too much about the animal nursery."

The little girl looked curious: "It's over so quickly? Did something good happen, Grandpa?"

"It's quite strange, actually. The Machamp that the powerful trainer left with us was quite a handful before, but when I woke up this morning, it was quietly squatting there practicing its moves. It seems like it's past its heat cycle."

No, I was just given a lecture.

Xia Ming complained as he ate the food on his plate.

He was a little worried that the other party might become more favorable towards him after being defeated, since Machamp is the kind of Pokémon that admires the strong.

However, that's not something he wants to think about right now. He'll find out tonight whether the other party will come to challenge him.

"That's great!" the little girl exclaimed happily.

Then she saw the Pokémon morning fortune telling on TV, which was talking about today's lucky numbers and lucky colors, and she quickly opened her eyes wide and wrote them down on paper.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Ming thought for a moment and decided that he should try to leak some information out.

At least we need to avoid making this silly child think he's lost every time we go out to check in, so that when it's time to leave the nursery later, it won't be too sudden and the child won't be able to accept it at all.

Hmph, as expected of me, I easily displayed the gentle and kind demeanor that only Japanese male protagonists possess.

However, what kind of reasonable reason can I give to convince my child that I go out every day to do something important?

"Today's Pokémon fortune telling has yellow as the lucky color! It's the color represented by Tapu Koko, the guardian spirit of Melemele Island. Everyone should remember to wear yellow items, like glasses or other yellow accessories!"

Got it!

Xia Ming had a sudden inspiration and looked at the paintbrush in Xiao Xiang's hand.

........................

"Dr. Kukui, why hasn't Mr. Xia Ming arrived yet?"

Because his mind had been preoccupied with battles all night, Ash stood at the door waiting, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he gazed at Riolu in the distance.

"If you're really curious, I can actually tell you the answer," Dr. Kukui, who is currently a bachelor and not yet married, replied while busy making breakfast.

"No, Doctor, please don't tell me. I want to figure out the answer myself."

Ash shook his head vigorously and hurriedly went to take care of Pikachu, who had already woken up, and his newly met companion, Rotom, in the Pokédex.

"Maybe something's come up. Xiao Zhi, don't wait up. Today is the first day of school, so don't be late."

Dr. Kukui reminded him, then noticed a figure appearing in the distance and laughed, "Look, he's here."

Xia Ming, the Martial God, who has returned to human form... is also quite energetic today!

He spotted Riolu deep in thought on the beach from afar, and Ash rushing to school with his backpack. The theme song of Sun and Moon played in his mind, perfectly fitting the moment.

Speaking of which, the Pokémon world also has movies and entertainment. I need to get a cell phone as soon as I get my salary.

I haven't been online for a long time; I feel like I'm several generations behind.

"Yo, Alola." Xia Ming stretched out his hand and waved casually.

"Alola."

After seeing Ash off, the professor called out:

"Let's go, let's hurry to the police station, then I have to go to Pokémon School for class. After class, I still need to choose a location for the League tournament venue, the sponsorship from the Aether Foundation isn't finalized yet, the construction team needs to look at the blueprints, and I also have my own research paper to write... I'm exhausted!"

Xia Ming shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help, took the Poké Ball from the professor, and approached Riolu sitting on the big rock from behind.

"Have you figured out the answer?"

He asked as he approached.

But the other party did not answer; all that could be heard was the sound of waves crashing on the beach.

Feeling something was amiss, Xia Ming turned to face the front and immediately saw Riolu's current appearance.

Did she...did she die of old age?

No, she's asleep.

happy.

Xia Ming almost choked on his own lip. A righteous hero, huh? I think even a cricket is more like a knight-errant than you.

Pop, pop, pop.

A series of clapping sounds startled Riolu, who could fall asleep sitting up, awake. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Xia Ming's ambiguous smile.

quack!

The righteous Pokémon, whose pride had been severely shattered, revealed a weak, helpless, and pitiful expression, trembling and shrinking back.

In her eyes, the man who claimed to be a trainer, though he didn't speak, had already conveyed his meaning through his expressions.

—So cute!

That was not a genuine compliment, but a complete and utter contempt and humiliation!

"It's already eight o'clock, time to get to work. Go back to your Poké Ball and rest for a while. You'll be going to have an interview with Ms. Kimi-sa soon, so be prepared."

Before Riolu could react, Xia Ming put her into a Poké Ball and then quickly got into Professor Kukui's car.

Next stop, the Hoola City Police Department.

Dr. Kukui simply left Xia Ming at the door and drove straight to the school without even saying goodbye.

After all, the students weren't late, but what if the teacher was? That would be terrible.

Without leaving any explanation, Xia Ming could only step onto this quiet high-rise building by himself.

Speaking of Alola, there's a Dark-type island ruler (roughly equivalent to an Elite Four member) who's also a police officer. Apparently, he's an old acquaintance of Giovanni from Team Rocket, making it a classic double agent joke.

Since Hauor City is the largest city in Alora, it is only natural that its police station is also the headquarters of the police stations of the four islands.

However, Xia Ming soon discovered a very important problem.

No, Dr. Kukui, you said you would introduce me to be Officer Jenny's assistant. Which Officer Jenny is it?

In the short time I've been wandering around here, more than a dozen Officer Jennys who look alike have already passed by!

Book 1 The Happy Little Monster: Chapter 17 Miss Officer Jenny Remains Motionless

Junsha.

A mysterious woman, she and Nurse Joy are considered two of the most incredible legends in the Pokémon world.

Some conspiracy theories suggest that Kimi and Joey are artificial beings created by the Elf Alliance, and are terrifying biological weapons.

Some say that Junsa and Joey are simply sisters with close blood ties, which is why their similar appearances are so striking.

But at this moment, Xia Ming wanted to put forward a new perspective.

If we consider the similar physical characteristics of Junsa and Joey as a manifestation of dominant genes...

So why is the father's genes so domineeringly suppressed?

Why would Joey and Junsa's daughter inevitably inherit almost identical appearances from Joey and Junsa when she grows up?

That's right, did you think of something?

Yes, it's Pokémon!

Nurse Joy and Kimi are strong evidence for the theory of humanoid Pokémon!

Only a powerful genetic lineage, like that of Pokémon, can so domineeringly ensure that offspring, upon hatching from the egg, perfectly inherit the physique and strength of the previous generation.

Judging from Joy's pink hair and Junsa's turquoise hair, we have reason to suspect that their ancestors in ancient times were Sylveon and Gardevoir, respectively!

The argument is complete.

Unfortunately, such a groundbreaking discovery is not suitable for publicizing, lest it cause disputes and surprise friendly nations.

However, since experiencing the power of eight thousand horsepower of life rotation, in addition to the increase in level and battle points, Xia Ming's understanding of the power of the Pokémon body has also improved.

This made him even more perceptive in human form, and he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Xia Ming wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the passing security personnel were all diligently busy with their duties, either rushing by with documents or discussing accidents and issues.

But if you turn your head slightly, you feel like you're being spied on, and it's not just one person's gaze.

It's like a fan seeing their idol and pretending to be serious because there's a camera filming them, but then bursting into silly laughter when the camera moves away from them.

Although the righteous Ms. Kimisa shouldn't go to such lengths, the answer is probably the same.

It was...it was yesterday's TV reporter who exposed me!

In the Pokémon world, loving Pokémon is like playing Gwent with a Witcher; if you play Gwent, then we're like brothers from different fathers and mothers.

What was just a casual act turned into a huge boost in popularity among the people of Alola because it was broadcast live on TV. While this brought some benefits, the downsides are now becoming apparent.

The clerk, Junsa, sitting behind the counter, wore this expression:

real or fake?

A trainer who's suspected to be a Champion is here to be our auxiliary police officer?

Is the peaceful Alola region about to be embroiled in some momentous event? Is the legendary Radiant God about to be resurrected like the gods of other regions? We haven't received any news from headquarters.

Speaking of which, quite a few powerful trainers have been visiting Alola lately. There's Shiba, the Fighting King from Kanto, the sister of the Spike Dojo gym leader, and it seems that masters from other regions are also submitting applications...

Junsha, a clerk still in her internship, trembled as she looked at the letter the other party handed her one last time.

Dr. Kukui's letter of introduction stated that the trainer named Xia Ming hoped to obtain legal citizenship through work...

This must be a disguise, an attempt to hide one's identity and deceive others!

"Ok, I see."

The young policewoman, who naturally possessed a heroic air, nodded stiffly for once: "Should we contact Deputy Chief of Staff Merdan to arrange a meeting with you?"

???

Xia Ming looked up and typed three question marks.

what?

Isn't it easy to use connections to cut in line and get a job? Do you really need to talk to the big shots above you and say, "I've got this person under my protection"?

There's no need to make such a big deal out of a police auxiliary officer's job; he's not like someone parachuted in to be a leader...

Weird.

"Isn't it unnecessary to make such a big fuss?" Xia Ming scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Why not just assign me directly? I should have an experienced officer to mentor me, since I've never done this kind of work before."

"Yes, that's right."

The policewoman chuckled twice, then looked at the branch manager who "happened" to be passing by as if he were her savior.

They used their unique eye contact to send a distress signal:

[Cousin, hurry, this isn't something I can decide!!!]

[Idiot! It's a good thing that a powerful trainer is coming!]

Branch head Junsha gave her a look of disappointment.

[You haven't even passed your police officer exam yet! Someone just gave you a casual piece of advice, and your skills skyrocketed! Didn't you see how an ordinary kid defeated a full-fledged trainer?]

[Oyster! Oyster! I... I'm stammering!]

[You're such a coward!]

Branch head Junsha rolled her eyes, then walked closer and said, feigning surprise:

"what happened?"

The young policewoman behind the counter stood at attention and saluted as if granted a pardon: "Yes, branch manager. This gentleman, the Crown... Trainer, would like to apply to become our auxiliary police officer."

“Is that so? Just follow the procedures, right? How can dragging things out improve efficiency?” Branch Secretary Jun Sha criticized her cousin righteously: “Sir, please come to my office for a detailed discussion.”

Seeing the clerk Jun Sha droop her head and shrink back behind the counter, Xia Ming inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had just graduated from university and become an intern.

Sure enough, even in a peaceful world like Pokémon, interns often get scolded.

He gave the other person a sympathetic look, then quickly followed Junsha, who was clearly a leader, into the office. The interview process, which had been expected, finally went smoothly.

After verifying her identity and filling out forms and providing her introducer, Branch Chief Junsha casually leaned on the table and said:
