How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

……

"So...what is it shaking now?"

Qianye scratched the back of his head, watching the gray iron ball spinning in mid-air for no apparent reason.

After following Magnemite all the way out of the door and running for more than a thousand meters, the other party seemed to have suddenly lost its direction, and stopped and hovered in place, with no thoughts visible in its big eyes.

Qianye did try to communicate with it actively, but Magnemite had almost no reaction to the movements of the outside world. Apart from occasionally emitting a few meaningless hissing sounds, it didn't say anything else.

In desperation, the boy could only look to Nancy for help:

"Nazi, can you use telepathy to sense what Magnemite is thinking right now?"

Nodding slightly, Nancy placed one hand on the screw on top of Magnemite's head, and then a light of telekinesis lit up in her eyes.

After a short while, the girl loosened her grip and concluded, "There's nothing inside..."

There's nothing inside? Does that mean its brain is empty? This little guy doesn't seem very smart.

Perhaps he could no longer bear it, and a Poké Ball on Qianye's waist suddenly began to shake violently, and then it was opened from the inside. The black-armored monster wrapped in red light stomped heavily to the ground.

Kodora raised her head, her scarlet eyes looking at the boy as if he were an idiot, and she opened her mouth and said:

"Yes, yes. (You followed the magnet to find the Dead Leaf Gym, didn't you? Why are you still following it now that you've won?)"

Qianye clenched his right fist and struck the palm of his left hand. Suddenly, he realized, "Yeah, why did I continue to follow? Oh no, I've become mentally retarded!"

A slap hit the hard helmet with a loud noise. Dora began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her vision. Why did she fall for him in the first place?

"Okay, okay. (We've been chasing him for so long anyway, why not just capture him? It won't be a wasted trip.)"

With a soft hum, she looked towards the suspended iron ball with red eyes. Although she hadn't participated in the previous gym battle, she had watched the entire battle from within the ball. While the magnet wasn't very smart, its fighting ability was barely acceptable to her, so she had no objection to it joining the team.

"That depends on its willingness. The problem is that I don't even know how to communicate with it now..." Qian Ye was somewhat tempted after hearing what Kodora said, but as he said, if the communication problem hasn't been solved, how can he conquer it?

In other words, you can start with something that Magnemite is interested in...

After pondering for a moment, Qianye opened his backpack and found the remaining Pokémon from his previous crafting. Theoretically, Pokémon like Magnemite could eat Pokémon from the Mineral Group, but there were also some Pokémon that only favored electricity.

The plastic bag that sealed the Pokémon was opened, and without any obstruction, the sweet fragrance suddenly floated into the air. Magnemite, which was originally circling in place, seemed to smell the scent, turned its head, and flew over staggeringly.

There's a reaction! It seems he's not one of those traditional picky eaters. Reassured, Qianye placed the unsealed Pokémon on the ground and waited quietly for Magnemite to float over.

Since it has no mouth, Magnemite cannot swallow and digest Pokémon directly like ordinary Pokémon. So, after approaching the Pokémon, Magnemite's single eye lights up blue and turns into an electric current that directly hits the Pokémon.

Under the action of electric energy, the Poké Cube quickly melted into a pool of water, and relying on electromagnetism, it pulled these "syrups" to the surface of the body and seeped into the gray sphere.

Judging from his expression... he seems quite satisfied?

Watching Magnemite "eat" all the Pokémon he had placed, Qianye tentatively took out a brand new red and white ball and placed it next to Magnemite:

"Will you be my partner?"

"Hiss~" He slid his eyes up to look at the boy, then moved them down to look at the tiny residue left by the Pokémon Cube. He took the initiative to step forward and touched the button on the red and white ball with the magnet.

A red light burst out from the ball and sucked Magnemite into it. After the button of the Poké Ball lit up and shook a few times, it finally returned to calm.

He bent down, picked up the Poké Ball containing Magnemite, wiped off the dust on the ground, brought it close to his eyes and whispered, "Welcome aboard, Magnemite."

"Yes~"

Kodora raised her head and yawned deeply. She had traveled such a long time from Golden City, but in the end she had not yet arrived at the destination and was still unable to participate in the battle. The intense feeling of boredom made her almost unable to hold her eyelids open.

Sensing Kodora's emotions, Qianye, who had been together for such a long time, knew what she was thinking and immediately consoled her:

"That gym battle was an accident. No one expected Magnemite to wander in there. I promise you'll be able to participate in the next battle. Don't worry, it won't be long."

Hearing this, Kodora just rolled his eyes and didn't make any response. With her personality that was afraid of getting into trouble, she wouldn't take the initiative to go out and find someone on the street to fight Pokémon unless the sun rose from the west tomorrow.

She wasn't wrong. Even Qianye himself was just planning to get to the next gym as quickly as possible. With one Pokémon and one person, no one could have predicted that the real battle would come so quickly, and so suddenly...

……

As night fell, the noise outside the B&B window gradually subsided. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the breeze, the only sound was the gentle chirping of insects.

After a whole day of running around, Nancy, who had just washed up and changed into a white pajamas with cute patterns, did not go to bed. She just sat in front of the dressing table at the head of the bed. The mirror reflected the girl's beautiful face, and her amber-red eyes rippled from time to time, as if she was recalling today's experience.

Unconsciously, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her hands held up her smooth and fair face, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Miss, are you still awake so late, thinking about Mr. Qianye? (Telepathy)"

The yellow figure of Hu Di gradually appeared behind her. She looked at her young lady who was obviously in love, and her eyes became a little subtle.

But this is not a bad thing. After all, in the past, it would have been extremely difficult for the young lady to show such an expression, or even to see any emotion in her eyes that was slightly fluctuating.

Hu Di, who has watched her grow up, is perhaps the person who is most pleased with her change besides Nancy's parents. As for the young man who brought them hope, since the young lady also likes him, she doesn't mind doing something to bring them closer.

Nancy didn't respond to Alakazam's message, but her increasingly red face and the unconscious twirling of her hair betrayed her thoughts. Seeing her "honest" self in the mirror, and Alakazam's smirk, the girl could only retract her neck in self-abandonment and hum softly.

"But...I didn't do what my mother said."

As she spoke quietly, Nazi's beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes. Before leaving, her mother had specially conducted a secret telepathic communication with her. In addition to the necessary instructions for life, she also mixed in some personal advice, probably some tips on how to keep a boy's heart.

She had already tried one of them at noon today, but unfortunately, not only did she fail, she also broke Qianye's pot.

Fortunately, Qianye was not angry, but the remaining methods... The shameful words from his mother's mouth floated through his mind, and his heart suddenly beat wildly as if it had been equipped with a power motor, and his face seemed to be burning.

She turned to face Hu Di and asked shyly, "Hu Di...will Qian Ye like this?"

It's more than just love! Seeing you like this, if I could resist jumping on you, I might start to doubt the guy's true gender.

This was the only thought Hu Di could have about the shy and voluptuous Nancy. But the next moment, she froze as if realizing something: "Miss, you're not thinking..."

Before she could finish her words, Nancy, who had received her affirmative answer, had already disappeared from her sight in a flash. Helplessly, she quickly teleported to catch up.

As soon as he arrived at Mr. Qianye's bedroom door, he saw his young lady with her head lowered. One fist was already extended, but it seemed to be stopped in mid-air. She hesitated for a long time and did not dare to hit him.

A few short yet long seconds passed, and Nancy grabbed the corner of her clothes, as if she had finally mustered up the courage, and just as she was about to knock on the door with her fist, the door was opened from the inside first.

Qianye, who had changed into casual clothes, suddenly rushed out and bumped into the stunned Nancy.

Feeling a soft and warm body suddenly hitting his chest, Qian Ye subconsciously looked down. This was a terrible scene, and the scene before him almost made his rationality evaporate on the spot.

"Wuwuuuuuuu..." A masculine breath came over her, and Nancy's delicate body began to tremble violently. Her face was completely ripe, and white steam came out from the top of her head. Her red pupils fell into a confused circle, and she murmured incoherent words.

Heat rushed to their heads. Qianye stood up solemnly and almost couldn't resist the urge to throw the beautiful woman in his arms onto the bed, but...

He bit his tongue hard, and his burning gaze regained some clarity. Qianye panted heavily, placed his hands on Nancy's shoulders, and spoke:

"Just now, Magnemite suddenly sensed something and rushed out. We must chase it now..."

Chapter 37: Team Rocket

Located in the largest shipyard in Vermilion City, it is said that the once-famous Saint Annu was born here. Unfortunately, not long ago, the famous luxury liner sank into the sea due to an accident. Fortunately, all the passengers on the ship escaped safely in the end.

As the second phase plan of Sant'Anou was proposed, the shipyard has become increasingly busy recently. A large number of heavy containers are neatly stacked on it, presumably loaded with various instrument components needed for the cruise ship.

“But it’s so late, they are still working?” Qianye poked his head out from behind a wall and looked at the workers moving things back and forth. He felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at them.

He had come here after Magneto had suddenly escaped, and was mainly worried about damaging other people's things like he had done at the Vermilion Gym that day. However, after discovering several secret sentries on surveillance, the boy immediately smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Nazi, can your telekinesis hear what they are saying from such a distance?"

The biggest contributor to their ability to sneak into such a deep place is the girl beside them. If it weren't for her telekinesis that detected those dormant sentries, the two of them might have been discovered and driven away long ago.

However, although super powers are useful, they are not omnipotent after all. Nancy shook her head and said that if one wanted to detect the sound, one could send a Pokémon that was less easily detected to approach the surroundings and then rely on telepathy to eavesdrop.

A Pokémon with strong concealment...it seems that neither he nor Nancy has it. Magnemite's size might barely count, but he is really worried about its intelligence.

Holding his chin in his hand and pondering for a moment, Qianye continued, "What about creating an illusion based on the original body? As long as the appearance is slightly changed, it will be enough."

"That... is no problem."

At a secret sentry post, a man and a woman in workman's clothing were whispering to each other, occasionally looking around to see if there was any unusual movement:

"I say, is it really necessary to be so cautious? Those guys in Hoenn are too cowardly. We in Team Rocket have done this kind of thing many times, and we haven't seen the Alliance do anything!"

The man's words failed to gain the approval of his companions. A middle-aged woman's shrill voice refuted him, "Don't gossip! This is an order from the boss himself, and the higher-ups have sent important people to supervise it. You can seek death, but don't let me be implicated!"

"It's obvious that not many people came..." He muttered to himself and complained, but when he turned around, he didn't see his companion's face anymore.

"Where did he go in just a few words?" He looked around in confusion, and inadvertently, he seemed to step on something soft.

He bent down and picked up the thing on the ground, with a strange look on his face: "A doll, what..."

Before he could finish his words, a green light enveloped him. The next moment, the two dolls fell to the ground without making any sound.

In an extremely tricky visual blind spot, Qianye and Nazhi walked out from the shadows. The boy picked up the two dolls and carefully examined the details on their bodies.

This "R" logo...is it the Rockets?

Team Rocket is the largest criminal group in the entire Kanto region. The number of its members is too numerous to count. The only thing known is that their footprints are spread across various fields such as industry, commerce, and services. Even within the alliance, there are hidden chess pieces of Team Rocket.

Upon learning that this situation was Team Rocket's doing, Qianye's heart sank. Pokémon hunters, however brutal, were often alone, while Team Rocket, an alliance of a vast group of vicious criminals, were far more dangerous than before.

"Nazi, why don't you just not participate in the next operation."

Although on paper, Nancy was stronger than herself, and had an unreasonable superpower to back her up, she had never experienced such a dangerous situation where her life could be in danger if she wasn't careful. In a sense, she was even considered a young girl who hadn't experienced much of the world.

Of course, there is also the option of getting away before being discovered, but after all, he has obtained the badge of the non-staff investigator and a precious mega stone from Champion Daigo. It would be a shame to him if he ignores the crime that is happening right in front of him.

It’s just… “Qian Ye, are you going to abandon me?”

Naz raised her head, looked at the boy seriously, and blocked all his escape routes with one sentence.

"I understand." He reached out to smooth the girl's hair on her forehead, and his palm slid down from her cheek.

In that case, let's go in together. At worst, if things get bad, we can just let Nancy teleport away. After all, she's just a non-staff member, so there's no need to fight so hard.

……

"What are you two doing over there? Do you still want to work? Come over here and help me move the things."

Qianye and Nazhi, who had just completed basic disguise and walked out of the corner, heard deafening shouting and scolding before they had time to observe the surrounding situation.

A tall man dressed like a foreman strode towards them, his shoulders hunched over his waist. His eyes bulged above his white mask, looking as if they were about to spit fire.

"You two, what's your number? Do you know what we're escorting today, huh? Answer me!"

Holding Nazzi's hand tightly to comfort her, Qianye quickly raised his head, lowered his voice and tried to pretend to be terrified and replied:

"Your Excellency... We are No. 114 and No. 514. We are so, so sorry! We couldn't hold it in any longer, so..."

Fortunately, I checked carefully before disguising myself and wrote down the numbers hidden in the hidden corners of my clothes. Otherwise, I would have been exposed before I could find any intelligence.

The illusion created by Nancy is perfect. Even if you look closely, you can't find any flaws. The only flaw is that their height does not match the original owner's. If they have physical contact with others, the flaws will inevitably be exposed.

"You need a man and a woman to do something like that? Never mind... I'll let you off this time, but if I see you slacking off next time, it won't be that easy, you know!"

Scolding like this, the man reached around with his hands, picked up a heavy metal box, and pressed it hard against Qianye.

Seeing this, the young man subconsciously reached out his hands and caught the iron box steadily. Seeing how relaxed he was, the man's eyes showed surprise, and he scanned Qianye's "body" from head to toe.

Just when Qianye began to wonder if he had been exposed, he once again heard the scolding of his "superior": "You look skinny, but you still have plenty of energy. It seems you're too idle... Why don't you get back to work!"

Without paying any more attention to them, the man turned and left with a curse. Looking at the other person's sturdy back that was gradually leaving, Qianye frowned slightly when he noticed the bright yellow under the helmet.

He turned around and pretended to be nonchalant while carrying the box. On the other side, he asked in the telepathic channel established with Naz: "Naz, did you feel that the man's voice just now was a little familiar?"

"Well, in the afternoon... that annoying uncle."

Hate uncles? Qianye's mind suddenly popped up the image of a tall, middle-aged man with yellow hair. Speaking of which, the words the man had just said when he was scolding him and Naz were a bit strange.

"Are you talking about... Ma Zhishi?"

After receiving Nancy's affirmative answer through telepathy, Qianye couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Why did the Gym Leader of the Vermilion Leaf Gym appear here and become a commander-like existence? Was he in cahoots with Team Rocket here? Or was it...

……

Inside the shipyard, a group of guys dressed in black clothes and black hats gathered. On their chests were painted "R"s as red as blood. The murderous aura unconsciously emanating from their brows revealed that they were all ruthless characters who had licked blood on the tip of a knife.
