Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

Having reiterated the main information, he exerted all his mental effort, and his surging mental power transformed from a tidal wave into a single straight line, outlining a circle like a radar scan, collecting information about various objects outwards.

This is a feasible approach she determined after recent reflection.

If you use your mental power as usual, the limitations of your senses and the overwhelming amount of information will automatically restrict the distance you can control. But if you treat it as a single line, you can block out the influx of too much information and maximize accuracy and distance when your brain can't process it.

From near to far, from large to small, before even opening my eyes, the entire town's scenery was already roughly presented in my mind.

Having taken the first step, Nanyin has already found its goals, including personnel configuration and the number of Pokémon it carries.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong and that there was little threat, she then looked at her friend who had stood up for her.

"Arrest them, which means this is poaching in broad daylight, right?"

Seeing the timid look on Munchlax's face, Korrina also noticed the bloodstains that she hadn't noticed at first.

Admittedly, she only likes Fighting-type Pokémon and has little interest in Normal-type Pokémon. However, the existence of Pokémon and trainers is always a two-way choice, not an unwilling imprisonment.

Team Flare's heinous act of killing so many Pokémon that day had left a deep impression on her mind, and now, with their excessive actions, the girl's indignation was easily ignited.

She clenched her fists, then loosened them. There was no passionate shout; Corinne's chest rose and fell, as if she were trying to calm herself down.

"Nanyin, we can't let them go."

Summoning Lucario ahead of time was a lesson learned from the previous surprise attack, which also made her more cautious.

"Ah."

Moving towards the source of the information, Nan Yin didn't forget to update the other party's current status in a timely manner.

Including the cadre Mami, there are three people in total. With their current abilities and Korini's, they are unlikely to lose in a direct fight. The presence of their psychic powers also eliminates the possibility of traps.

If possible, she would prefer to wait until Officer Jenny received the message and acted with her, but judging from the current situation, the Team Flare members seemed eager to resell the captured Snorlax, so there was no time to delay.

Plan your route, avoid potential threats, and locate the other party's land at the foot of the mountains in the southwest of the town.

Nan Yin wanted to go as soon as possible, but the little guy following behind her made her stop in her tracks at the exit of Gumu Town.

Unable to dodge in time, the Snorlax crashed straight into the girl's groin, nearly falling over. The difference in weight rendered the difference in weight ineffective thanks to its psychic powers.

"Kirby!"

In a panic, it covered its head, crouched down, and dared not open its eyes to look at the other animal. The little beast only showed its two pointed ears that were twitching.

"Why are you following me, little Munchlax? Even if you want to save your mother, it's a bit difficult for you in your current state."

Softening her tone, Nan Yin didn't want to cause the other person any more harm, nor did she want it to change its attitude towards people or lose that initial trust.

"...Kirby."

Seeing that the other party did not reprimand him harshly, the little Snorlax released its hands, gently rubbed against the girl's calf, and sniffed at the lingering scent with its nose.

"Nanyin, Snorlax is saying that you have a lingering fragrance, so it couldn't help but follow you."

It is the translation of "Tianxi Fu'er".

"fragrance?"

If you lay out your five fingers and place them under your eyes, visually they are slender, narrow, and naturally extended, which is pleasing to the eye. However, in terms of smell, Nanyin did not notice anything at all.

"Actually, there is some, but you're so used to the smell of Nanyin music that you can't tell."

Hearing the princess's account, and to be honest, during the time she spent with her friend, Korne did indeed smell that fragrance, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

It's not the so-called body fragrance, but the aroma that gradually settles on the fruit after the trees are frequently pruned; it's a subtle sweetness and the scent of nature.

"Is it because too many tree fruits were dissected, and syrups and honey were used frequently during the production process?"

It's a bit of a joke, but if it can win over Pokémon, Nan Yin won't mind too much. In fact, to some extent, it's an advantage over others.

She took out another bunch of treasures from the bag at her waist, gave them to the little beast to enjoy, and then, out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the honest child in front of her.

They have thick fat deposits, hard fur, and are more robust than normal individuals.

The above is a summary of my own findings, while the following is the scan result given by the Palkia Guide.

[Individual: Munchlax, Gender: Female]

[Type: General Category: Gluttonous Pokémon]

[Trait: Gluttonous. When HP is less than half of maximum HP, instead of the usual quarter, the berries carried will be eaten.]

[Possesses the following attributes: Rare, Resilient Body, Tough Skin, Gluttonous]

[Rare: Global Attack +15%, Work Speed ​​+15%]

Resilient Physique: Global Defense +20%

Hard Skin: Global Defense +10%

Overeating: Satiety decreases at a rate of 30% faster.

The inclusion of terms like "gluttonous" was not unexpected for Nan Yin, but the description of "rare" did not match the facts.

This little Snorlax doesn't have the dark skin of a shiny Pokémon. If rarity doesn't necessarily mean a single shiny Pokémon, then there are several other possibilities.

Releasing all her waveguides, she carefully observed the differences between the former and her own child. After ruling out differences in physique and mindset, she felt a unique aura sweep over her, exerting pressure.

This feeling was quite subtle, yet it gave me a sense of being a domineering, superior being.

Based on the surrounding environment and general idea, if I'm not mistaken, the other party's mother should be a powerful Totem Pokémon, which would give Team Flare a reason to capture her.

This phenomenon, which is native to the Alola region, has become an isolated case in the Kalos region. For Team Flare, whose members are mostly researchers, the powerful Pokémon and the unsolved mystery provide the conditions for them to take action.

"Now that you've followed me here, rest assured, I will bring your mother back."

Touching the broad forehead of the little Munchlax, conveying the specific meaning through her thoughts, Nan Yin then lifted her body, carrying everyone towards the sparse forest at the foot of the mountain, leaving the little Munchlax with a look full of longing.

Controlling his speed to avoid making a sound, he approached the perfect position and then slowly channeled his powerful mental energy back to the girl's brow.

Further ahead was the location of those Team Flare members.

They deftly parted the branches, peering through the gaps in the bushes to observe each other and eavesdrop on their conversation.

She was not in a hurry to make a move. Before that, Nan Yin needed to have a firm grasp of the situation and complete confidence.

Once the trees had cleared their cover, the woman with short, dark blue hair was now displaying her arrogance, ordering around two other lower-ranking members.

"You're really useless. You spent so much effort on just one Snorlax. Don't you know we're not in a good position right now? If those hyenas from the League find out, you know what will happen to you."

“That stupid woman, Pachira, is the most vivid example.”

With her arms crossed, she stepped on the unconscious Snorlax. As if that wasn't enough to vent her anger, Momiji kicked him several times, one kick at a time, on his belly.

"We were foolish, Lady Momiji."

"Hmph, enough nonsense. This guy was specifically requested by Kutheroschi. Quickly clean up the mess and prepare to leave."

She was sharp-tongued, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up, showing that she was quite pleased with the flattery from her subordinates.

Just as it became complacent and let its guard down, several rock peaks pierced through the soil and rose from the ground, confining the surrounding space to a corner from which it could not escape.

Rock Seal.

Immediately afterwards, purplish-black water chestnut powder fell from above, pouring into it without missing a single drop, gradually spreading outwards.

Poison caltrop.

"what?"

There was no time for conversation, and before the astonished expression was even left on their faces, the high-pitched sound waves disrupted the airflow and damaged their eardrums.

Loud sound.

"...Damn it, Houndoom, come out here."

Blood gushed from her ear canal, her body trembled, and just as the blue-haired woman was about to throw the sphere, an invisible psychic force enveloped her fingers, extinguishing her only hope.

Through planned training, she could have forcefully broken through this power and released the Pokémon, but her poor condition left her weak and powerless, making it impossible.

One thing leads to another, and before anyone even sees them taking action, they lose the ability to resist.

With the enemy in the open and us in the shadows, the shift in initiative quickly tipped the scales of victory or defeat.

With unhurried steps, bypassing the offering of water chestnut powder, Nan Yin stood in the reserved spot, perched atop the high rock peak.

"I've come to see you off."

It was a speech as plain as water.

“Wait, I remember you. You’re the trainer who sent Pachira to prison. You’re quite accomplished at such a young age. We don’t need to be so stiff between us.”

She hurriedly opened her lips to speak, but having lost all her advantages and with her life hanging by a thread, Momiji could only appeal to her emotions and reason.

"If you've come for Snorlax, we can release it. If you want any resources, feel free to ask us. There's no need to be so rigid and strictly follow the League's rules and regulations."

"To be honest, for a talent like you, joining our Flare Team would be a great choice. What do you think of this officer's uniform?"

Hearing the other party's flustered words, Nan Yin knew that this Flame Team officer had lost most of his rationality.

Otherwise, why would he have taken a chance and pleaded for mercy or even offered amnesty to her, the enemy who had cast the spell?

"..."

Responding with silence, exerting pressure with silence, in this escalating situation, the blue-haired woman even brought out information that should never be spoken.

"Our Team Cinder has legendary Pokémon by our side, and if you wish, you can also enjoy this intoxicating power!"

"You mean, the legend?"

Accompanied by this cold greeting, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning pierced the clouds, and dazzling white thunder immediately pierced through the heavens and earth, falling at the feet of the former.

The sacred bird high in the sky, the Narukami Lightning Bird, had already lowered its wings to protect the girl behind it.

Chapter 74 Catching Munchlax and Expectations

"Zetzart!?"

Her words of rebuttal came to an abrupt halt, and the blue-haired woman stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what she was seeing.

It was not the identity of the sacred bird that surprised them, but rather their vigorous and undiminished state that shook them.

"How is that possible? Wasn't this guy dealt with at the Poké Ball Factory long ago? Could it be that those two good-for-nothings sent out false information?"

"Maybe."

There was no need to answer the other party's questions, nor was there any interest in wasting time; these words alone were enough to express Nanyin's attitude.

Stroking the sacred bird's brilliant feathers, ignoring its sweet words and repeated questions, she simply wiped away the dust, gathered her skirt, and found an empty spot to sit down.

Like spectators on the sidelines, with a slight upturn of the corners of their lips and the comfort of their crossed legs, the wails and curses gradually faded, and fear began to appear on their faces.

"Do you still have the strength? Making too much movement might trigger the poison darts."

Ignoring the many vulgar words, the girl's spirit had already been tempered by her two lifetimes, and besides, she was now in a position of absolute dominance.

Just as the words were spoken, Scorpion's venomous spikes are gradually eroding the opponent's body, seeping into the blood vessels. This is certainly not intended to kill, but merely a necessary measure to prevent accidents.

Even though Team Flare has already extended its evil clutches, dealing with them is still a matter for the law and the League; her role is only to detect and stop them.

Of course, before handing the case over to the judicial authorities, Nan Yin would not mind using some means to obtain more information that would be favorable to her.

With his chin drooping and his right arm resting on it, he let the soft flesh on one side cave in with the force applied, and gazed quietly.

"Wait, wait a minute, there's still a possibility of communication between us."

Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, and unable to ignore her weakening breaths any longer, even as a member of Team Flare, Mami was ultimately a researcher who valued her life. With her talent, she could be respected in legitimate organizations as well.

They absolutely cannot be arrested by Officer Jenny as a member of Team Flare, thus definitively concluding that it was poaching; this is the only room for maneuver at this moment.

Therefore, she was determined to plead with the young girl in front of her, not to escape punishment, but to strip away the villainous organization's disguise and reveal herself as a victim coerced by others.

After all, the other party is just a young girl in her early teens, with limited experience and a lack of practical skills. She'll probably be a little soft-hearted to some extent.

however--

“Miss Officer Jenny will listen to your confession at the penitentiary table on my behalf, and then you will be able to give your full explanation.”

The words she was about to say stuck in her throat. Seeing the unmoved look on the other woman's face, the blue-haired woman knew that persuasion and reasoning would not work, so she could only make a final struggle.
