How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

“Haunter? Haunter, don’t hide… Come out quickly! Now’s not the time for pranks!!!”

She lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, making it hard to see clearly. A gloomy and suffocating aura emanated from her body: "Are you kidding me again?"

"Haunter... uh, well, let's challenge each other next time!" After saying this, Xiaozhi turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were shocked and ran out immediately, but no one running on the ground could be faster than someone flying in the sky. Nancy, floating in the air, quickly caught up with them and pointed forward.

"Teleport!"

A sudden burst of white light brought a bearded uncle. He grabbed Xiaozhi's hand in front of him as quickly as possible and activated his super power again.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, who fell behind, were not so lucky. Before the white light reached them, their bodies began to shrink and turned into two dolls that flew into Nancy's hands.

Holding a doll tightly in one hand, Nancy looked at the place where Xiaozhi and the middle-aged man disappeared. She turned around as if she had realized something, and saw Qianye following closely behind.

He stopped in a hurry and saw the doll in Nancy's hand at a glance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.

"Qian Ye, do you want to beg for mercy?" She spoke word by word, and Qian Ye felt a hint of questioning in her eyes without any emotion.

"I'm sorry, Nazzi, they are all my friends... Can you please forgive them this time, just for my sake?"

Nazhi looked at Qianye who lowered his head, then looked at the doll in his hand, and moved his lips slightly: "Okay..."

Before the boy could look up with surprise, she added:

"You have to defeat me first... If you lose, Qianye will stay here forever."

Chapter 30: Shaken Nancy

Nancy is not someone that a trainer can defeat. The more Qianye understands Nancy, the more he understands the meaning of this sentence.

It's not because of her understanding of Pokémon that her command in battle is unmatched, but because based on the rules of Pokémon battles, Nini's existence itself is almost unsolvable.

Telepathic command completely surpasses the traditional trainer's verbal orders in terms of efficiency and stealth; one's own Psychic ability can be synchronized with Pokémon to amplify the Psychic Pokémon's telekinesis; and with the assistance of Psychic perception, one can control the battle situation even in visually disadvantaged environments...

If the above were merely the abilities of a psychic trainer, at most operating on the edge of the rules, then what followed was almost blatant cheating.

Relying on his telekinesis, he could use teleportation on a Pokémon that was still using other moves.

This is the truth behind the Pokémon's behavior of using two moves at once, which made Qianye feel incredible when he first challenged it. There is no doubt that this is no different from the trainer personally bringing props into the field, which is an act not allowed by the league.

But the problem is that Nancy's psychic ability is too strong, so strong that even ordinary psychic Pokémon cannot compete with it, so strong that only trainers who know Pokémon well enough can detect the abnormality, so strong... as long as she doesn't admit it, there is no way to detect that she has personally intervened in the Pokémon battle.

With all these advantages, plus the possibly unique "legal" cheating technique, a thick wall has been created between the challengers and Nancy before the battle officially begins.

To be honest, even though he had agreed to Nancy's bet and had made complete preparations and plans, when he stood in the challenger's seat that countless people had taken, Qianye still felt that his chances of winning this battle were less than 30%.

Nearly half a month of high-intensity special training and specialized tactics for Naz, it is still unknown how effective these things will be.

"Cocodora, please..."

Leaning down and whispering softly, the silver-white head nodded and climbed onto the fighting ring. Standing opposite her was Nancy's Magic Wall Doll, looking as funny as ever.

It was like a replica of the scene of the first challenge. The Pokémon were still the same Pokémon, but the state of mind for both parties was different.

"Kokodora, use Iron Head!"

"The Magic Wall Doll activates telekinesis. (Telepathy)"

Nancy knew that Kokoda had undergone special training in telekinesis during this period. The telekinesis strength of the Magic Wall Doll was far inferior to that of Alakazam. It might really be unable to do anything to Kokoda alone, but with its own superpowers to amplify it, this telekinesis barrier would not be so easy to break through.

As expected, the green telekinesis attached to Kokodora's body, and the silver-white iron feet could not take a single step forward, pinning her down in place.

However, the magic wall puppet, which was concentrating on releasing its telekinesis, did not notice the heavy rock that suddenly appeared above its head.

Rockfall? When did it happen… Her pretty face froze for a rare moment, and she was even a step behind in giving the command. The rock smashed directly into the head of the Magic Wall Doll, causing it to let out a cry of pain.

"Well done Kokodora! Keep using Rock Slide!"

"Magic Wall Doll, be careful above! (Telepathy)"

With a wave of telekinesis surging through its body, the Magic Wall Puppet quickly looked up...at nothing above it? Confused, it touched its head—sack. Bewildered, it felt a violent vibration beneath its feet.

He lowered his head in panic and saw Kokodora stomping on the floor with a heavy kick. The power of the earth spread out with the vibration, and penetrated into the body along the soles of the magic wall puppet, making his legs numb.

It was a stomping move! During this time, had Kokodora secretly learned other moves? No, why... Qianye's order wasn't a stomping move at all.

Nancy had never been so flustered since becoming a gym leader, and the boy's next order was already issued: "Kokodora, Ironhead!"

This time... it must be a rockfall, right? He hesitantly gave the order, and the magic wall puppet raised its head as ordered, but still saw nothing.

"Yes!" The steel helmet shone, and when the magic wall puppet looked up distractedly, Kokodora crossed the distance between the two people like a silver comet. The iron head hit the abdomen right on target without any buffering.

"Devil~~"

The impact penetrated the entire body, and the big eyes rolled up. The restraining effect combined with Kokodora's already impressive destructive power, after one blow, the magic wall doll was sent flying more than ten meters, lying on its back with circles in its eyes.

The first one...destroyed!

Nancy obviously hadn't recovered from the shock of the defeat of the Wall Doll. She stared blankly at the red and white ball for a long time before she remembered to take the Pokémon back.

What happened just now... Qianye's orders were sometimes true and sometimes false. She could guess that this was to trick her into making a wrong judgment, but how did Kokodora cooperate?

However, geniuses who are proficient in superpowers are naturally intelligent people. Nazi quickly figured out the difference between Qianye's orders each time:

False orders are always preceded by some hints, while true orders are expressed in the simplest terms.

After figuring out how they would cooperate, Nancy felt much more at ease. She took out the second red and white ball and released the second Pokémon, Soleva.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Nancy's command rang out in Sol Eevee's mind: "Create a reflection wall immediately."

"Bu Yi~" With a soft moan, the red gem on the forehead released a strong light, and a transparent wall gradually formed in front.

Having suffered a loss in the last fight, Kokodora certainly would not allow the opponent to build that wall again. He ran at full speed on all fours towards the position of the Sun Eevee.

Keeping a close eye on the situation on the field, Nancy's telekinesis was ready. According to her calculations, the reflection wall would be fully formed before Kokodora reached the range where it could attack Solebee. At this time, she could use teleportation to replace Solebee.

"Cocodora, chase!"

There's no prefix, so it seems this is a real command. But if I chase after it...

The other moves don't matter, as they don't have enough time to hit Sun Eevee, but Chase is a specialized move for replacement skills. It's not very powerful in itself, but it can use the power of replacement moves to interfere with and slow down the replacement speed while causing greater damage.

Furthermore, the Chase was a Dark-type move, and even with the Reflection Wall to mitigate the damage, it was not something that the restrained Solebee could easily withstand. After weighing the pros and cons, Nini proactively delayed the release of Instant Move to ensure that Solebee could be defeated with minimal damage.

However, after seeing the white light covering Solebee dissipate, Kokodora opened its mouth wide and revealed its fangs - and it didn't chase it, but bit it to pieces!

It was a familiar scene, but this time, the Sun Eevee was completely caught off guard and ate the entire thing, its face twisted in agony. Only then did the white light finally appear, covering its body and disappearing.

"The bet was right." Qianye's clenched hands finally relaxed. He looked straight ahead. Nancy, sitting in the red seat, hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, completely losing her former calmness.

"Qianye... do you know what I'm going to do?"

It's no wonder she thinks so. From the beginning of the war to now, all the important junctures have been guessed wrong. It's as if they had anticipated what she would do and had written a script in advance.

But, how is this possible? I don't have any superpowers, and I can't predict the future. The reason why Nancy had such an illusion was that she fell into the "misleading" she deliberately created from the beginning -

In fact, he and Kokodora didn't spend any effort on giving instructions, because Kokodora didn't obey any of his instructions the whole time!

This was discussed before the game started. Kokodora only needed to take every action according to her own ideas, and he would give instructions flexibly based on the situation on the field and the tacit understanding with Kokodora.

This method isn't an unsolvable strategy; it even carries significant risks. Trainers lose control of the overall situation, leaving the Pokémon to rely on their own efforts. But since Nancy is unbeatable, I won't fight as a trainer.

Including the last step, Kokodora actually couldn't learn the chase technique at all, but how could Nancy, who had always kept her attention on him, not be fooled?

He silently apologized to Nazzi and pulled out the red and white ball containing the black pieces from his waist. Even though one of his opponents was down and one was injured, while his own team was almost completely unscathed, Qianye still didn't let his guard down. He knew that the real tough battle was coming.

With her arms tightly clasped together, Nazhi bent down, her body trembling slightly. A red and white ball wrapped in green light automatically floated onto the field.

A red light flashed, and Alakazam stood in the center of the fighting arena. His thin yellow body was as strong and unyielding as a mountain.

"Alakazam... we have to win, please."

Feeling her young lady's trembling heart, Hu Di sighed softly. She knew what she feared, not failure, but everything that would happen after failure.

It would be fine if the two strangers were released, but the battle Mr. Qianye was having with the young lady was a formal gym challenge recognized by the alliance. If he lost, he would have to hand over the golden badge.

And now that Mr. Qianye has obtained the gym badge, does he really have any reason to stay here?

Her eyes closed slightly, and when they opened again, only determination remained in them. In her sight, the silver-armored beast had been replaced by a large gray-black dog. After spending so much time together, they no longer harbored any hostility towards each other.

But... Kuroko's scarlet eyes were also full of determination. Both she and himself had reasons not to fail.

Let's begin. Alakazam sent a declaration of war telepathically:

"I will definitely not hold back."

Chapter 31: Awakening, the Coming of the Evil Tyrant

Alakazam is a typical Pokémon that grows stronger with age. Qianye has no idea how long the Alakazam standing on the field has lived, but according to the information he learned from Nancy, Alakazam was already Alakazam when the other party was still young.

Being able to directly change the terrain with just telekinesis shows his strength. On his side, with the exception of Kuroko, who is immune to Psychic-type moves, the rest of them will find it difficult to fight against Alakazam. In other words, this battle will be the one that truly decides the outcome.

Misleading tactics can no longer be used. Not to mention that compared to Kokoro, who has a wild, powerful intuition and decisive action, Kuroko does not have the hard conditions to execute tactics. Alakazam is also different from Nancy's other Pokémon. With a high degree of self-awareness, it will definitely minimize the risk of wrong instructions.

They had to bite off this toughest bone head-on without any room for maneuver. Fortunately... for today, he specially let Heizi learn a useful new trick.

"Heizi, use the move we secretly trained."

"Awoo~" After raising his head and calling softly in response, Kuroko tensed his limbs, his gray-black body was like a contracted spring, and his scarlet eyes stared at Alakazam.

Wasn't the first move used to be Sand Throwing... Originally, he thought that the opponent would rely on Sand Throwing to block his vision like last time, so Alakazam didn't rush to activate the Eye of Miracle. The arc of superpower light appeared on his body, and the already solid telekinetic field around him became even more astonishing.

It was meditation, because a series of collapses in the early stage led to the failure of the successive strengthening tactics. In order to eliminate all risks, Alakazam had to strengthen himself first.

Fortunately, although I don't know what moves the opponent is preparing, the distance is not enough to rush to it immediately. Even if I can do it, the worst that can happen is that I can rely on the damage reduction of the reflection wall to take the attack, and then I can kill it after hanging up the Eye of Miracle.

As planned, Alakazam, having just completed his power-up, a faint rainbow-colored halo appeared in the depths of his pupils, a precursor to using the Eye of Miracle. At the same moment, the opposing wolfhound also completed that mysterious move.

Strange ripples radiated from the scarlet pupils, and in a trance, Hu Di seemed to see a bubble with a middle finger raised suddenly appear on the not-so-bright wolf's head.

What... A nameless fire suddenly surged from his heart, interrupting the changing moves that required a high degree of calmness to maintain, and the rainbow light in his eyes quietly dissipated.

What on earth was going on? This inexplicable surge of intense anger shouldn't have caused any emotional fluctuations due to such a clumsy provocation. Could it be that... that move was a "provocation"?!

This was a move that directly affected the mind and could be essentially attributed to the malice of Arceus. Even the calmest and most rational of people would inevitably become enraged once struck.

It should be said that the fact that Alakazam can still maintain relatively rational thinking is an extraordinary achievement. In this state, she is simply unable to use the Eye of Miracles.

A green light flashed in her eyes, and the target of her telekinesis was not the big wolfhound that was speeding towards her, but the ground beneath her feet.

The huge mental power tore a hole in the floor, and a large piece was peeled off from under Kuroko's feet, as if it was going to lift her out together.

How could Heizi let the other party succeed? He slapped his palm, and his furry-looking palm easily broke the stone slab, knocking away the broken rubble and continuing to rush forward.

The telekinesis continued to activate, and the stone pillars continued to rise from the ground. It didn't seek to cause any harm to the big wolfhound, just a moment's delay would be enough.

However, Alakazam still underestimated Kuroko's agility. The black flash moved around in the stone forest. Even if Alakazam predicted her movement trajectory in advance, the opponent would change direction at the moment before hitting her and easily avoid her.

In an instant, the huge mouth with sharp white teeth was almost at his face. The provocation made it impossible to use instant movement. The only thing that could protect him was the thick stone wall built with telekinesis.

"Heizi, bite it to pieces!"

The situation came to the most critical moment. Qianye watched nervously as the two Pokémon were about to collide, not even daring to blink.

As expected, the barrier only held Kuroko back for a few seconds before it collapsed under the impact. Two days later, it pushed off the ground and exploded again, opening its bloody mouth and biting down on Hu Di.

The steel tooth pierced through his shoulder, and Hu Di could feel his bones shattered under the impact. The severe pain spread throughout his body along the wound, and he couldn't even maintain a calm expression.

The presence of the reflective wall significantly reduced the power of the attack, and even Alakazam, a glass cannon, managed to resist being instantly defeated. However, the effect of the provocation had not completely worn off, and Kuroko only needed to strike again...

"Ugh?!"

Kuroko's pupils suddenly contracted, and a beam of energy beam so thick that it could cover her entire body burst out from between Hu Di's eyebrows. The destructive force ravaged her body and pushed her away.

"Destruction Ray!" Qianye screamed. He hadn't expected Alakazam to have a hidden move. Destruction Ray was a normal move, and Kuroko wasn't immune. The wall wasn't meant to slow Kuroko down, but to obscure his sight and quietly complete the condensation of the ray.

Although the Destruction Ray is one of the most powerful moves, it causes the body to collapse after firing. To ensure that the ray would hit, Alakazam deliberately ate Kuroko's bite!

"Woo..." He fell back to the ground like a deflated balloon. The pain was concentrated at the moment he was hit, but now, his numb body could no longer perceive anything.
