How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

"Eevee..." With trembling feet, he tried his best to support his front body. He raised his head and stared at the other person stubbornly with his eyes still open.

"Is that so? What a shame." Seeing something in those eyes, Kōrō completely retracted the smile on his face. "Horga, give it a quick death."

He had no intention of forcing it. A Pokémon like this that could maintain a firm will even at the moment of death, no matter how much potential it had, would only be a time bomb if he forced it to stay by his side.

Eevee could feel the scorching air currents very close to her, like tongues of fire greedily licking her body. She knew she couldn't survive the next wave of attacks. It had nothing to do with her faith, but simply that her body had reached its limit.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look behind her. The man whom she once regarded as her master lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it in the end.

But it didn't matter anymore. She hadn't come here to continue following him... It was just a pity that she couldn't see the boy again and tell him that she had finally figured out her ideal.

"I'm here to help you!"

A loud shout completely drew Kōrō and Hōruga's attention away from the dying Eevee. At the end of their field of vision, a black-haired young man held an iron staff in one hand and waved his other hand in the air, pointing straight ahead. His awe-inspiring aura was completely inconsistent with his youthful appearance, and behind his upright body there seemed to be thousands of troops.

At his side, a large grey-black wolfhound lay dormant, teeth bared. Two scarlet points of ferocity flashed, its bloody mouth yawning like a dagger leading to the underworld. Even though they hadn't fought, he already felt a certain fear.

"No, this is... the intimidating nature of the big wolfhound!" Guanglang, who was suppressed and a little breathless, finally realized the problem. He quickly reached out to comfort the Houndoo who was standing on end beside him. At the same time, he looked at the big black dog opposite with fear.

While being a Pokémon hunter, he could also barely be considered an amateur Pokémon scholar. He knew the Pokémon Argonaut, but it wasn't a particularly outstanding Pokémon in terms of racial potential, so even with a powerful racial trait like Intimidate, it was hard for it to make a name for itself.

But there was clearly something wrong with this big wolfhound in front of him! This intimidation had reached the point where it was causing hallucinations. At least he had never seen an intimidator with this kind of talent before.

The person who could raise this kind of Pokémon was a child who looked no more than ten years old? No... not necessarily. Maybe he just used the Pokémon of his elders.

After pushing his glasses up and realizing the truth, Guanglang calmed down a lot. After all, he was a Pokémon hunter who had been at large for many years. He wouldn't lose to such a young child.

Although he had heard that one of his colleagues had fallen to a child, and had used this incident to urge Yamada to be more cautious, the kind of person who could be defeated by a child was nothing more than an arrogant fool who lacked vigilance. How could they, experienced hunters...

My eyes suddenly caught sight of the iron staff held by the person opposite me, and I felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

That looks like Yamada's cane, right?

"Heizi, bite it to pieces!"

Qianye's sharp eyes caught the moment when Guanglang was stunned, and without hesitation, he directly ordered Kuroko to use the moves he had just learned after evolution.

Upon hearing this, the large wolfhound that had been gathering strength for a long time shot out like a black arrow, revealing rows of guillotine-like fangs. The black evil power surging and gathering on them was even more terrifying.

"Don't be afraid of Houndoom! Fight back with Jet Flame!"

Having reacted, Kōrō quickly gave Hōruka an order. The effect of intimidation was to intimidate the opponent with his aura, preventing them from exerting their full strength, thus significantly weakening their physical attacks.

But his Houndoom relies more on the special attack moves launched by the powerful fire energy in his body, which is the so-called special attacker. Intimidation is meaningless to them.

"Howl!" Seeing the big wolfhound rushing towards him, Houndoom was a little scared, but he could not disobey his master's orders. He took a deep breath and spit out flames again.

The flames were so close that it was absolutely impossible to change direction at this distance. She had to either stop in time or withstand the heat flow and complete the attack... Faced with this dilemma, Kuroko chose C!

He pushed forward with his two front paws and his body instantly flew into the air. Flames passed under him, only burning a few gray hairs on his belly.

"!"

Guanglang's glasses nearly fell off in shock. Flame Jet, a fire-type move requiring no charge, with a high velocity and a wide reach, was nearly impossible to dodge at medium range. Who could have imagined this large wolfhound could maintain such agility at such speed?

In mid-air, Kuroko's crimson eyes locked firmly on the bespectacled man below. Qianye had instructed... to prioritize eliminating the trainer.

"Heiluga, stop it!"

Taking a step back at the malicious gaze, Korou ordered Houndoom to stand in front of him while trying to take out other Pokémon from his pocket.

"Ah..." Houndoom reluctantly took a step towards Kuroko who was about to land. Seeing the row of sharp fangs shining with cold light, his body trembled unconsciously.

"Close range, direct blazing abyss!"

Guessing that Houndoom couldn't dodge this bite, Koulang gritted his teeth and simply let Houndoom use the most powerful move he knew in order to exchange injury for injury.

"Crack." One of its front paws was pierced by sharp teeth, and a section of the leg bone seemed to be shattered under the heavy pressure. The severe pain that went from ten fingers to the heart almost made Houndoom disperse the fire energy that he had just condensed, and the wailing sound continued.

"Heizi, retreat first."

Qianye was not in a hurry to pursue the victory. Houndoom was preparing a move that would wrap the enemy in concentrated and sublimated flames. This move had terrifying power and could inject fire energy into the body, causing the enemy to enter a "burned" state.

While having such a powerful effect, this move also has obvious shortcomings. In pursuit of power, the highly concentrated flame sacrifices the striking range, and accuracy is naturally difficult to guarantee. That is to say, it can only ensure a stable hit in this close-range state.

Although his intentions were seen through, Koro remained unfazed. He watched as pillars of fire surged from Houndoom's body, only to be missed due to the Wolfhound's timely retreat. He had suffered a heavy loss in the first round, but forcing his opponent back gave him time and space to release his other Pokémon.

A red light flashed, and five more Pokémon appeared in front of him one after another.

Humph, so what if I have such a high-caliber Pokémon? How many Pokémon can a young kid with so little experience have in his pocket? Now it's a case of the majority bullying the minority, and the advantage is mine!

Just as Guanglang was thinking this, a loud noise reached his ears. It seemed to come from all directions, dozens of different sounds mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish what was going on.

At the same time, the ground began to shake, and several cracks spread outward from the young man, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

"Squeak~~" A Zubat flew out from the shadows, flapping its wings, and landed directly on Qianye's shoulder.

As if a signal had been sounded, hundreds of squeaks echoed in the cave, and surging purple clouds slowly rose behind Qianye.

It wasn't just the Bat Pokémon! The cracked ground shattered completely at this moment, opening up into circular holes. A purple snake with golden rings poked its head out. Dozens of boulders with arms clasped their bodies and rolled forward, finally arriving at the last moment.

The most representative Pokémon of the Moon Viewing Mountain Cave have all gathered here at this moment. There are so many Pokémon that they cannot be counted, surrounding the black-haired boy in the center, as if they are supporting their "king".

I don't know when it started, but Eevee's sight passed through the Pokémon hunter and his Pokémon, and was completely taken away by the black-haired boy who was surrounded by a group of Pokémon in human form. There was a crystal light shining in his round eyes, and the pain in his body was completely forgotten.

"This... is a joke."

Guanglang felt a cold sweat on his head, his mouth twitching, but he couldn't utter a single command. The Pokémon he had just released also turned their heads to look at their masters, their silence speaking louder than words.

"……retreat!"

……

Qianye did not pursue the Pokémon hunter relentlessly. Firstly, there were several seriously injured Pokémon at the scene that needed treatment; secondly, even if he had the advantage in numbers, the Pokémon hunter's endless despicable tricks might cause casualties to the children behind him. Since he left Eevee and the others behind, there was no need to fight to the death.

What's more, it has been so long since he called the police. Miss Junsha's police team has probably surrounded Yuejian Mountain several times. The Pokémon hunter would probably not be able to escape from here even if he had wings.

He glanced lightly at the boy who had regained feeling in his legs and was finally able to stand up from the ground. When the boy noticed Qian Ye's gaze, he was immediately filled with shame. He bent down and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to meet his eyes at all.

What could he say? He'd been the one to beat and scold Ibrahimovic, driving him out of the group, but when they were at their wit's end, it was Ibrahimovic who desperately stood in front of him. He'd even considered yelling at Ibrahimovic to run away, but fear of death had ultimately choked the words back.

Without any intention of scolding the other party, Qianye quickly withdrew his gaze, walked quickly to the front of Eevee, bent down and began to bandage it again.

"Bu... eh..."

Hearing Eevee's words, Qianye was slightly startled, then smiled and said:

"Is that so? Have you figured out what you really want?"

"Buyi...Buyi..."

"I want to protect all the weak people and Pokémon, and always stand in front of them when they are in danger... It's a great ideal, but it's not so easy to achieve."

His palm gently stroked Eevee's head. As he had expected, this was a kind child. Perhaps the reason why it could never learn any attacking moves was because it instinctively didn't want to hurt anyone.

Feeling the warmth above her head, Eevee raised her head, and the Qianye in her eyes seemed to be shrouded in brilliance. He had saved her, enlightened her, and in the moment when the Pokémon appeared in her sight like saviors, he also allowed her to see her ideal future.

If she was just a knight who followed her creed, then the other party was a wise king who was benevolent and righteous and worthy of her lifelong support until death!

Her gaze grew firm as Eevee gently pushed Qianye's bandaged hand away, swaying and forcing herself to stand. Then, she looked up at Qianye, her eyes filled with solemnity. She bent her front leg and lowered her head, her other front leg bent over her heart, as if performing some kind of ritual.

"Bu-yi-bu-yi..."

I have wandered for half my life, only regretting that I had never met a wise master. Now that I have met you, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds, and my mind has suddenly been opened. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to serve as your...

Under Qianye's somewhat confused gaze, Eevee was unable to finish her last line. Due to the injuries on her body and the ups and downs she had experienced, her body was no longer able to resist the sudden surge of fatigue.

His body swayed like a candle in the wind, and finally lost support and fell into a warm embrace.

Chapter 17 Tyrant Xiaomao

Eevee had a very strange dream, as if he was soaking in an icy mountain spring. The clear water washed every inch of his fur, melted into his body and soaked his blood.

"Bu... eh..."

Slowly opening his heavy eyelids, his vision went from hazy to clear, and a big pink face suddenly appeared, which scared Eevee.

“Pipi~Pipi~” “Pipi!” “Pipi?”

She didn't know when, but she was surrounded by these pink little fat kids. When they saw her wake up, they were very happy and started to dance by shaking their chubby hands.

I felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness. This posture looked as if they were going to sacrifice me alive.

"Oh? You're awake already." The familiar and kind voice made Eevee raise his head quickly, and his eyes immediately caught the black-haired boy with a Kokodora lying on his shoulder.

"Buyi!"

"Well, you seem to be in good spirits... How are your injuries feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Ibrahimovic was surprised to find that he did not feel any pain or fatigue. The wounds all over his body had disappeared without a trace, and he felt refreshed as if he had just taken a shower.

"I asked Pikachu to use the Drop of Life to treat it." The young man said with a smile. Originally, after Eevee fainted, he wanted to quickly leave Moon Mountain and return to the Pokémon Center in Nibe City to treat Eevee, but the Pokémon following him led him to this hidden place.

It was also the first time he knew that there was such a gathering place for Pipis in Yuejian Mountain. However, after seeing the exaggerated giant moon stone, he was somewhat grateful for the caution of these Pipis.

Walking in from the passage that the Eevee had consciously made way for, Qianye squatted down so that he could be at eye level with Eevee, and stretched out one hand.

"Although I already understand your intentions, I will still ask you formally... Are you willing to travel with me, Eevee?"

"Buyi~"

Of course! Eevee's furry little hand rested on the boy's outstretched hand without hesitation.

……

As soon as they exited the Yuejian Mountain Cave, Qianye and his group were blocked by several police officers at the cave entrance. Just as the young man was about to explain, the leader, Junsha, pushed them away and approached with a pamphlet in her hand:

"You're Qianye, who lives in Pallet Town, right?"

"You know me?" Qian Ye was a little surprised. He remembered that when he called the police, he didn't even leave his name because of time constraints.

"My sisters in Viridian City told me... about a talented young man who single-handedly defeated a Pokémon hunter at the very beginning of his journey. I finally got to see him today."

At this point, Junsha glanced behind her intentionally or unintentionally, and saw her colleagues escorting a man with glasses in handcuffs into a police car.

"We've briefly interrogated the captured Pokémon hunter. He should have an accomplice still lurking in the Moon Cave. But don't worry, all the exits have been blocked by our men. He won't be able to escape."

“Um, that…” Qianye raised his hand weakly, “Actually, I’ve already met him in the cave. He probably, maybe he won’t escape…”

"Huh?" Junsha raised her eyebrows and glanced at the boy again with a strange look. Then she turned her head and sternly ordered the nearest team:

"The restrictions have been lifted. Go search for the remaining Pokémon hunter. Be careful to avoid conflicts with wild Pokémon."

Watching the police officers walk into the cave, Junsha turned around and looked at their innocent faces. She originally wanted to lecture them for being so young and yet rashly confronting the Pokémon hunter, but now she couldn't say a word.

The unintentional heroic spirit that emanated from his handsome yet slightly youthful face made it difficult for Junsha to view the man before her as anything more than a child. Honestly, after encountering such vicious criminals one after another, a single victory could be considered a stroke of luck, but two, three... that would indicate he was already a mature and exceptional trainer.

She was thinking this in her heart until Qianye's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Ms. Junsha...can we leave now?"

"Ah, yes. You're going to Cerulean City next, right? We're just on the way, so why not just take our car and go there together?"

"Eh, isn't this a good idea?"

"It's okay, just consider it as a reward for helping us arrest the Pokémon hunter." Junsha chuckled and led Qianye and his Pokémon into the police car.

The moment she closed the car door, she had already made a decision - after returning, she must recommend this young man to the alliance. Talents like him must be valued!

……

Thanks to the means of transportation, the estimated journey to Cerulean City was greatly shortened. When the car door was opened, a fresh and moist sea breeze blew across the face. Looking up, the sun was hanging in a corner of the sky, bright but not scorching.

"We've arrived in Cerulean City..." He took a deep breath of air, and the refreshing feeling instantly dispelled the tiredness caused by the long car ride.

Cerulean City, a coastal city in the northern part of the Kanto region, is located on the main transportation route of Kanto. The north of the city is adjacent to the estuary of the river, the south leads all the way to Jinhuang City, the east takes a detour to Shion Town, and the west is Yuejian Mountain where Qianye came from.

Perhaps because it was a developed city near the ocean, the Alliance built a water gym here. It was conceivable that if his father knew he had arrived in Cerulean City, he would definitely nag him to challenge the Cerulean Gym as soon as possible.

Humph... Unfortunately, things are different now. Without that clueless Xiaozhi, who else can force me to set foot in the gate of that Cerulean Gym? Who else?

Just as Qianye had a mysterious smile on his face and was feeling smug, a red sports car sped past him, then did a beautiful drift, kicked up a cloud of dust and stopped in front of him.

"Hey, it's Qianye, long time no see."
