How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

As for the conditions, he can take all the salary that a gym leader should have, in addition to a high hiring fee. He only needs to accept challenges and assessments under the name of the Hualan Gym.

Just considering the generous treatment, it was impossible for Qianye not to be tempted. What's more, accepting the challenge only required him to use the Pokémon in the gym, and his family would not be at risk of getting hurt. Considering this, it could be said to be his ideal job.

But why is it so difficult to decide?

"Ouch~"

Black claws climbed up the headboard, and a furry wolf head popped out from underneath, wiggling its ears and tilting its head towards him.

A white light flashed, and the beautiful girl with wolf tail and beast ears whom he had seen not long ago appeared in front of him again. In the other party's somewhat confused eyes, her white and tender palms were placed on the top of her head, ruffling her black hair into a mess.

"Kuroko...what are you doing?"

Heizi looked very happy, his eyes narrowed into two crescents: "I will be very happy when my head is patted. If I am happy, Qianye will forget the troubles. "

His heart was struck at once. Looking at that innocent and cute smiling face with a little tiger teeth showing, Qianye felt that his stamina bar was emptied in an instant.

Reaching out and stroking the hair between his ears, Heizi's whole body relaxed, leaving only his big tail shaking behind him, making a purring sound, and he was obviously enjoying it.

"Where's Kokodora? Is she out training again?"

"The big sister said she was going to practice new moves. I don't know why...it seems like she's been in a hurry lately."

He's eager to improve himself, and considering his competitive nature, it's not hard to figure out the reason. It's because he feels he's lagging behind in Kuroko's evolution.

The problem was that it was difficult for me to persuade her. Kokodora was very stubborn and would never change her mind. Instead of trying to persuade her to relax, perhaps it would be better to support her silently.

"Thousand Nights and Thousand Nights!"

"What's wrong?" Qianye lowered his head and saw that Heizi was no longer satisfied with just leaning his upper body on the edge of the bed, but had climbed onto the bed with his whole body.

"I want to sleep together~"

It wasn't a surprising answer. After all, when Heizi was still a coyote, he often slept with her in his arms. However, things had changed. Heizi had grown from a puppy into a grown woman, and it felt a bit dangerous to hold her in his arms while sleeping.

But being stared at with those round pupils, Qianye couldn't bring himself to refuse. But if Heizi were to transform back into his beast form, how would he be able to hold such a large body? He felt like he might be suffocated to death underneath...

Between the possibility of causing a death and the possibility of "causing a death", the boy chose the latter. He opened his arms helplessly, letting the excited Heizi crash into his arms, his head rubbing against his chest.

His palms passed around his waist, and his back was very smooth, a completely different feeling from his beast form. The two lumps of elastic soft flesh cushioned his body, and the sliding touch caused a subtle reaction in his body.

The humanoid Kuroko was very beautiful. In terms of appearance, the only woman he had ever met who could compare to her was his own troublesome mother. In fact, when he was still young, he might have imagined this scene countless times.

But… now wasn't the time. He knew full well that the intimate behavior Heizi displayed towards him was still stuck in the old patterns. There was no love or desire between lovers, only the kind of intimacy and dependence a pet might have on its owner.

After all, could a simple-minded Pokémon truly develop feelings for a human? Qianye didn't know. Was possessing a human form merely a convenient outer shell, or... did it also inherit the complex human thoughts and emotions?

While thinking about this, he fell asleep unconsciously. His body remained close to Kuroko, but his consciousness seemed to have sunk into another world.

A dreamlike world surrounded by bright stars.

Qianye walked forward in confusion, not knowing where he was going, but he kept walking, moving forward. Until, a childish and ethereal voice woke him up:

"Xiaoye Xiaoye!"

He stopped and stood still, looking around, but apart from the still shining stars, he didn't find anything else, let alone a living creature that could speak.

"Xiaoye! Look at me, look at me, I'm here!"

The voice rang out again. Qianye looked left and right, but still couldn't find the other party. He half-closed his eyes and spoke with a slightly warning tone:

"Who's playing tricks? Come out now!"

As he spoke, his hand quietly touched his waist, but the feeling of nothingness made the boy's body stiffen slightly.

The Poké Ball is gone... Where was he kidnapped? Kuroko, Kokodora, and Eevee... Damn it, I don't know what happened to them.

"I'm down there! Look down there!"

This time, the voice was more angry, but there was no imposing force in that lovely voice. Qianye lowered his head as he was told, but what he saw almost stopped his thoughts.

She was a little girl whose height only reached her waist. She was wearing a spotless white dress and had short golden hair hanging down from her cheeks. There were three green ribbons attached to her hair, which seemed to be some kind of decoration.

She had her hands on her hips, and there were two tear-shaped blue lines under her clear eyes like glass. Her angry look with puffed cheeks made her already soft and cute face even more lethal.

"Where did this little Lolita come from?" His brain was still short-circuited, and his words were as stiff as a rusty clockwork. However, before he could recover, the little Lolita in front of him said something even more explosive:

"She's not some little loli! Xiaoye, you should call me mom~"

“huh?”

Chapter 20 Jirachi

"what are you saying?"

Qianye bent down and tilted his ear slightly, trying to hear more clearly.

"I told you to call me mommy~" The blonde girl raised her arms, waving her tender white hands in the air.

Well, it seems I'm not hallucinating...

She reached out with both hands, grabbed the man's armpits, and lifted him directly over her head. Her feet lost the feeling of stepping on the ground, and the little girl was a little confused at first, but as she reacted, her red cheeks suddenly steamed up, and she waved a pair of small pink fists at Qianye's head:

"How could Xiaoye treat Mom like this! Put me down now!"

There was no feeling at all. How could a little girl's soft fist have any killing power?

He sighed softly, looked at the blonde loli with an angry expression, and said, "I don't know why you say that, but I must emphasize that I do have parents. In other words, the plot that only appears in novels, such as an orphan finding a ring with an elf inside and the elf inside is actually his mother, does not exist."

Even if we put this aside and consider it purely rationally, with that blonde hair and appearance that barely resembles his own, let alone being his mother, even if she were his sister, people would doubt whether they were really related by blood.

However, the opponent was clearly dissatisfied with Qianye's words, kicking his legs even more violently in the air:

"It's obviously true! Xiaoye is someone else's child!"

My head hurts. This kind of nonsense is, in a sense, exactly the same as my mother's.

"Okay, okay... well, if you really are my mother, you'll have to give me some evidence so I can believe you."

"Of course it's because Sayo possesses the power of prayer~"

"Pray?" It seemed as if he heard some unknown but powerful term again.

"A wish is the yearning of all things for the beautiful things in their hearts. Bringing this possible or impossible beauty into reality is the power of prayer, and it is also my power."

The blonde girl put her hands on her hips, raised her head and squinted her eyes as she spoke, looking proud. She opened one eye slightly to see if her child would show any admiration for her.

However, Qianye only had a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he asked, "You mean you can fulfill wishes? And you said I have some kind of wish power... But I don't have any special abilities, and what does this have to do with me being your child?"

"Just because you have the power of prayer doesn't mean that Sayo and I are of the same nature. To be more precise, Sayo herself is a creation of prayer, and naturally, she is my child who symbolizes wishes~"

"Impossible!" Qianye's tone suddenly became stern, which frightened the blonde loli so much that she hugged her head with both hands.

"I was born by my parents. This is an absolute fact. I don't believe it's a creation of wishes!"

"Hmm~ But the fact that Sayo's friend evolved into that form is proof that the power of prayer has been activated..."

"What did you say?!"

He couldn't control his emotions and yelled out loud, but when he saw the little girl was about to cry, Qianye realized that he seemed to be too excited, so he softened his tone and asked:

"So Kuroko became like that because of your power?"

"do not know……"

Don't know? Qianye was slightly stunned. The blonde girl twirled her fingers, seeming to be somewhat puzzled by the matter.

"It was Sayo's wish to transform Pokémon into human form. If I were to fulfill it entirely, the human form probably wouldn't retain so many beast characteristics."

"Furthermore, fulfilling a wish isn't so easy. It consumes a great deal of my energy. After fulfilling it once, I need to slumber for a thousand years to recharge... But I remember the last time I woke up was not long ago, maybe only ten or twenty years ago. The energy accumulated in this time is simply not enough to fulfill the wish."

After breaking free from the boy's "lifting high", her feet returned to the ground again. She shook her feet and continued with a serious face:

"It's actually the other way around. After Sayo's wish came true, my power actually increased a lot. Although I haven't been able to wake up yet, I was able to use this connection to pull Sayo here to meet me... By the way, my true self is sleeping in the stone Sayo got earlier~"

In an instant, I suddenly realized that no wonder I had been experiencing some incredible things since I got the white round stone.

"That should be Xiaoye's own unique ability, but she can't discover it on her own yet. She needs my presence as a medium to activate it smoothly..."

For some reason, the girl's voice gradually became blurred. No, it was more than just the voice... In front of his eyes, the road covered with stars was also gradually disappearing.

"It seems that the time is almost up, and we can only talk about this..." The pretty face of the blonde loli became hazy, and she waved her hand as if saying goodbye to him.

"I am... Jirachi... Please... remember..."

Qianye's figure completely disappeared from this wonderful world, leaving no trace, as if he had never been there. Jirachi smiled and looked at the empty space. She was the only one left in the endless space.

Xiaoye, continue to build new bonds~ One day, we will meet in reality... absolutely.

……

I opened my eyes and the sunlight shone into the house through the glass, bright and warm. The poppies on the branches outside the window chirped, playing the first music of the morning.

Previous memories flooded into his mind, and the dreamlike scene made Qianye wonder for a moment if it was just a dream. However, to say it was a dream was too clear.

Hmm... Speaking of which, my chest feels tight, and my hands and feet seem to be restrained by something and I can't move them at all...

He moved his head with difficulty and looked down. In his sight, the black-haired and animal-eared girl was hanging on him tightly like a tree-pillowed bear, sleeping soundly with her head resting on his chest. She even drooled in an unladylike manner at the corner of her mouth, wetting a large area.

"Heizi..." He had the urge to cover his face, but unfortunately his arms were pinned down and he couldn't move at all.

Heizi didn't hear what he said, and smacked his lips, as if he had dreamed of something delicious.

"Kuroko." The tone was slightly raised, but Kuroko still showed no signs of waking up.

There was no other way… He took a deep breath, then shouted at the top of his lungs, “Heizi, wake up!!!”

"Ugh!"

Frightened, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, his ears trembling like waves, and his scarlet eyes looked around vigilantly.

"Heizi, get up from me first." The helpless voice of the young man came from under him. Looking down, Heizi blinked and obediently crawled out of the quilt.

"Ke-ke~" A silver-white beast climbed up to the windowsill. Her armor was stained with morning dew, clearly fresh from training. Her large, azure eyes peered into the room, scanning back and forth between the man and the beast.

Seeing the suspicious water stains on Qianye's clothes on his chest, and then looking at the stupid humanoid dog sitting on the ground with the same stupid look on his face as usual, Kokodora immediately showed a look of contempt.

"Uh, I think I can explain... Ugh!"

Qianye's lips moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if struck hard by something heavy. He instinctively covered his head with one hand, while the other reached out to catch the hard object that bounced down—a rough, fist-sized rock.

"Where did this stone come from? It doesn't look like a tile used for decoration..." Rubbing the bulge on his face, Qianye looked at the stone in his hand. There was no gap in the roof directly above him, so how did this stone fall in?

Wait... Looking back at the window, Kokodora held her head high and rubbed her two iron front paws together.

"You... have learned Rockfall?" Qianye's tone was filled with surprise. He ran to the windowsill, grabbed Kokodora's front paws and pulled her up.

"cocoa!"

This idiot! Kokodora screamed with all four legs hanging in the air.

"Awoo~" Heizi, who had transformed back into a big wolfhound in a flash of white light, also walked over and rubbed Qianye's waist with his head.

"Buey~Buey~" Eevee, who had slept all night on the carpet on the other side, watched Qianye interacting with other Pokémon, and was also infected by the cheerful atmosphere and smiled.

Kokodora's silver armor reflected a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. He stared into the azure eyes that seemed to encompass the sky. Perhaps only he could glimpse the ambitions of the one standing on the dome.

Kokodora, is that your wish...

The conversation with Jirachi in the dream brought him many questions about his own life experience, but at the same time, it also made him understand his own confusion.

Yes, a wish. Pursuing a stable life, not wanting Kuroko, Kokodora, and Eevee to come to any harm, these were merely extensions of his own wish, to obtain a connection that would last forever, transcending even death... This wish had been fulfilled the moment the bond was established.

Meeting someone is a miracle in itself, isn’t it?

"I've thought it through, Kokodora... I'll let Kuroko stay by my side forever, I'll help Eevee become a knight who can protect everything, and I'll... stand at the highest peak with you."

He said this with a smile, and the sunlight clearly illuminated the outline, outlining a white future that seemed absolutely certain to come true.

Kokodora was a little dazed. Ever since she decided to follow the other party, the invisible restraints that had bound her body had completely disintegrated from that moment on.

That man was the most stupid, greedy, and arrogant person she had ever met. But precisely because of this...

His eyes took in the boy's entire body, and the corners of his mouth beneath the silver helmet curved slightly.
