How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Her soul quickly dived back into her body, and she instinctively wanted to return to the home where she could feel at ease, but she saw that a strange "hairless monkey" had taken her "house" and walked away.

How could you do this?! Even I would be angry! You're done. You've offended me like you've kicked cotton! At least say sorry. If you can't do it, forget it...

He was uttering harsh words in his heart filled with righteous indignation, but his body was still trembling and curled up in a ball, not daring to take any practical action.

At this moment, one of them took out a black and white ball with golden patterns, walked slowly towards her, raised his arm, and threw it directly at her.

Wow wow! What I said before was just nonsense! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't hit me...

The advanced ball hit her head directly, automatically opening and taking Dratini inside. Entering the unfamiliar environment, Dratini was a little timid at first, but soon she found that not only was there no one here, but the environment was also quite comfortable.

Could this be... my paradise?

The high-level ball, after shaking slightly, suddenly stopped moving. The person who stepped forward to pick it up was a little puzzled: "Isn't it said that the mini dragon is difficult to catch? Even with the high-level ball, it succeeded in one try."

"Forget it, just consider it a change of luck..."

……

Waking up slowly from the dream of past memories, as soon as consciousness regained consciousness, Mini Dragon looked around nervously, but found that there was no one beside him, as if the experience just now was all just an illusion.

I remembered the past again. It turned out that being kicked out of the comfortable ball and surrounded by a group of people was just a nightmare. Hahahaha...

This self-consolation was interrupted by the sound of a lock opening. I turned my head stiffly towards the doorway through which light was coming. A black-haired boy walked in. When he noticed my gaze, a peaceful smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, are you awake already?"

The body reacted to the stress again. The noise of scales colliding forced the opponent to stop in his tracks, and the expression on his face turned into a wry smile:

"There's no need to be so exaggerated... Am I that scary?"

Hearing this, the mini dragon began to shake his head frantically: "Mini Mimi~ Mimi~ (Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say you look scary! Absolutely not!)"

It's better not to explain...

Seeing the mini dragon looking like he was about to cry, Qianye sighed softly and gently placed the iron plate on the ground.

"I don't mean to blame you. You don't have to be too scared. I just came here alone to deliver food. There's no one else with me."

Perhaps the boy's words had some effect, or perhaps the aroma emanating from the golden Pokémon cubes in the iron plate made it difficult for the hungry Dratini to resist the temptation.

In short, she managed to overcome her fear of strangers a little, and slowly crawled to the iron plate in the dark, and tentatively took a bite of the Pokémon Cube inside.

The sweet aroma suddenly exploded from his mouth, stimulating his taste buds. The mini dragon, who had always relied on picking up garbage to eat, had never tasted anything like this. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression of happiness was beyond words.

Seeing the mini dragon finally letting go and wolfing down the food on the plate, Qianye finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was finally a channel for them to interact.

Speaking of which, this child's introverted personality is exactly the same as Nancy's, but Nancy's is more of a habit that she developed passively because she was always feared and rejected. As for this child, maybe he is just timid by nature?

His principle for capturing Pokémon is that both parties must travel together voluntarily with mutual consent, but given Dratini's current personality, it remains to be seen whether he can accept such a long journey in the future.

But if he chose to let Dratini go free... to be frank, he really doubted whether it could survive in the wild.

Just as Qianye was thinking about how to deal with the problem of Dratini, the Pokémon cubes in the plate had been basically cleared out. Dratini patted his slightly bulging belly with his tail, and while he was satisfied, he also noticed the sad face of the boy in front of him.

My mind started to wander: Was it because I was eating and ignoring him that he felt left out? Would it be better if I could provide him with some emotional value?

After all, someone who was willing to provide her with such delicious food shouldn't be a bad person. Moreover, when no one else was present, she did feel a reassuring aura from the other person, which eliminated the uneasiness brought by the presence of strangers.

Otherwise, no matter how delicious the food was, she would never dare to touch it if someone was watching her.

After hesitating for a moment, the mini dragon slowly stepped forward, carefully stretched out its neck, and rubbed its smooth head against Qianye's palm.

The cool feeling woke the boy from his thoughts. He lowered his head and looked at the mini dragon with some surprise, who quickly retracted his head.

"Really? What was I thinking? I was actually hesitant about such a problem..."

He reached out and lifted up Dragonite's head. Although Dragonite was a little trembling due to the sudden action, his reaction was no longer as violent as it was at the beginning. This at least proved that Dragonite had begun to accept him.

"No need to worry, and no need to be afraid, Dratini. Be my companion. I'll ensure your peace of mind, and I'll definitely prove it to you!"

Taking the advanced ball off from his waist, Qianye smiled confidently, wrapped his palm around the ball to form a fist and stretched it towards the mini dragon.

"Mi Ni~" Under the influence of his aura that made people subconsciously believe in him, the dejection that always lingered around the snake-like body seemed to be reduced.

The mini dragon stuck its head out and used its undeveloped white horns to push the button in the center of the advanced ball. A red light shot out and stored it back into the sphere.

"Please give me your guidance from now on, Dratini."

He said softly, placing the Poké Ball containing Dratini back on his waist. According to the normal process, he should have taken Dratini and her predecessors to meet each other, but Dratini was obviously not ready for this.

It doesn’t matter. There is still a long time in the future, and besides, he has another urgent matter to deal with now.

After leaving the room, Qianye looked at Nancy who had been standing by the door for a long time. He showed her the advanced ball on his waist to indicate that the problem with Dratini had been solved, and then asked:

"Where's Miss Ellija?"

"She said she had to leave urgently, but..."

Nazzi said this, her tone as calm as ever, but Qianye could rarely see a hint of anxiety in those red eyes.

"Qian Ye asked me to use my telekinesis to explore this place before... There's a large space underground."

"Alica...it's right down here."

Chapter 51: Team Rocket's Secret Base

The alliance would never have thought that Yuhong City, a well-known tourist city in the Kanto region that generates considerable revenue for the Kanto Alliance, actually hides the secret base of Kanto's largest evil force - Team Rocket.

The so-called Yuhong Game City has been the Rockets' industry since the beginning. In addition to providing them with considerable funds, this kind of service-oriented industry's actual operating model is also very suitable for their people to mingle in and collect all kinds of intelligence about the city.

Alijia, to be precise, this is just a pseudonym...Except for the occasional whim to go to her own perfume store in Yuhong Department Store to act as the boss lady, most of the time she has another identity - Lijia, the gym leader of Yuhong Gym.

As gym leaders designated by the alliance, it is their responsibility to help maintain peace in the city and crack down on criminals in the area.

Lijia had noticed something unusual about this game hall a long time ago. Whether it was the precious prizes generously given out during occasional competitions, or the suspicious crowds that she occasionally observed gathering in one place, her doubts only deepened.

She has always believed that there is a secret base hidden here, but unfortunately she has no evidence. This is also the biggest reason why she became a frequent visitor to Yuhong Game City under the identity of Alijia.

The bad news was that the allure of arcade games was a little greater than she had imagined. She had become quite addicted to them, becoming the most popular female player in the entire arcade. The good news was that after months of lurking, she had finally found an excellent opportunity to investigate the place.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to receive the award, she was able to go deep into the interior of Yuhong Game City. With patient observation, she actually found a mechanism and a secret passage leading to the underground.

The rest is her own business... Although Nancy and her companions seem to be Pokémon trainers, Team Rocket is such a dangerous criminal organization that she certainly won't let her newly met friends get involved in this mess.

However, she seemed to have underestimated the power of Team Rocket——

"Although I would like to treat you as a guest who stumbled in here by mistake, your status is what forces me to make this decision...Ms. Lijia."

Surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members in black uniforms, Lance said, looking at the girl in the center with his usual friendly smile.

"Haha, it seems my disguise has long been seen through. Could it be that Team Rocket spent so much money this time just to lure me into a trap?"

Although in deadly danger, Rika's face did not show any panic. She placed her hands on the Poké Ball in her pocket, ready to fight to the death at any time.

"You misunderstood. We do have other plans for today, and they're not for you. Team Rocket wouldn't make such a fuss just for a gym leader..."

Lance spoke calmly, as if he had never considered a trainer with the strength of a League-certified gym leader. But then he changed the subject and said:

"But let's be clear. Team Rocket never rejects any talent. If you'd like to join, Team Rocket would naturally welcome you. Speaking of which, Ms. Lijia, you're a Grass-type Gym Leader, and I happen to excel at Poison-type abilities. It's a surprisingly good match."

"Haha, are you confessing your love to me? Such a sincere and ardent love." Lijia's face flushed, she lowered her head and covered her chest, acting shyly like a little girl being confessed to.

But the next moment, she suddenly raised her head, and the blush on her face disappeared, replaced by a bright "gentle" smile:

"It's a pity that the type of man I like is the kind that can bring a sense of security. Someone like you, who smiles but hides a knife behind his face and is good at petty calculations, probably can't possess that kind of manly spirit~"

Lance's smile didn't fade despite the girl's ridicule, but his eyes flashed with an even colder light. "You seem to have misunderstood what I meant. What I meant to say is that I'm well aware of the perfect synergy between grass and poison. Naturally, I also understand that using elegant poison to make a beautiful flower like you wither..."

"Since you've made up your mind to be the enemy of Team Rocket, I'll just have to ask you to wither away here!"

Lance's words were like a battle horn. As soon as he finished speaking, both sides tacitly pulled out their Poké Balls. In an instant, sharp blades clashed in the air, and a pale yellow mist mixed with poisonous gas...

……

Qianye and Nancy did not find the secret passage leading to the underground base directly like Lijia did, but after locking Lijia's location and using telekinesis to roughly explore the structure of the underground building, Nancy was able to rely on teleportation to bring herself and Qianye directly to where the other was.

"Qianye, Ailijia has been moving all the time, and her vitality... is also weakening."

Are we really in danger? His expression suddenly became serious. Without any hesitation, Qianye immediately grasped the girl's hand. A flash of white light teleported them to their destination.

At the same time, Lijia held on to the wall, covered her abdomen with one hand, and stumbled forward with her legs. Her pretty face showed an abnormal purple color, fine sweat seeped from her forehead, and her consciousness was gradually approaching the edge of dissipation.

Suddenly, a white light flashed before her eyes, and two familiar figures emerged from the fading light. She could clearly see the eagerness on Qianye's face and the worry in Nazi's eyes, both shouting something as they ran towards her.

Was it an illusion caused by the poison? Li Jia didn't know, but regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, her remaining consciousness and strength were not enough to support her to respond. She could only utter the last two words in a weak voice:

"Quick...run..."

After a muffled thud, the girl collapsed onto the narrow corridor. Qianye hurried over, using his knees as a cushion to help her up.

Seeing that purple-red face, anyone who wasn't blind could tell that he was poisoned, and...

"The situation is very dangerous. We must take some emergency measures now... Nancy, can you directly locate the Pokémon Center?"

"You have to have been there before..." Nancy bit her lip. Unfortunately, when they came to Yuhong City this time, they had never been to the Pokémon Center here. If they only knew the vague location, there would be no way to teleport there.

"That's troublesome... Not only is time tight, but Alicia's body can't withstand any violent shaking right now, otherwise the toxin will penetrate into her bloodstream faster."

Diagnosing the condition of the girl in his arms, Qianye frowned, knowing full well that this was a matter of life and death. In this emergency situation, there seemed to be only one solution left—

"Nazi, activate teleportation now and move us to a relatively safe place. I need to do some emergency treatment on Alicia's body first. If any pursuers come by then, I'll have to trouble you to help hold them back for a while."

Nancy nodded, and the white light flashed again, teleporting the three of them to a room that was relatively safest according to telekinesis detection.

As previously agreed, the boy was responsible for staying where he was and treating Alicia, while Nancy needed to go outside and guide the Rocket Team's pursuers as far away from them as possible.

As Naz teleported away, Qianye turned Alica's body over several times. After a careful examination, he came to a conclusion: "The place where the toxin enters the body is not a visible part..."

This was simply the worst possible scenario. He had never thought that this classic plot from a novel would happen to him one day, but since it involved human life, he couldn't afford to worry too much.

"I'm sorry!" Qian Ye gritted his teeth, made up his mind, grabbed both ends of the clothes with both hands, and pulled it up violently.

In the center of the fair skin, next to the delicate navel, there was an inappropriate dark purple mark, and two deep holes were left next to each other at the mark. It seemed that this was the channel through which the poison entered.

Fortunately, at least it hasn’t reached the most embarrassing part... The young man breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing he had to do was to suck out the poisonous blood from the wound.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Qianye bent down, placing his mouth close to the wound. As his head edged closer, a delicate fragrance filled his nose. It made sense, considering that Alijia was the owner of a perfume shop, so she'd definitely spray some on herself.

However, what was particularly terrible was that, in addition to the aroma of these perfumes, there was also a faint scent of milk mixed in, which seemed to want to draw his attention and peek into the mysterious abyss.

Now wasn't the time to think about that! Fortunately, at the critical moment, the desire to save someone overcame his instinctive lust. Qianye lowered his head, perhaps feeling the itch in his lower abdomen while unconscious. With his eyes tightly closed, Ailijia murmured.

The poisonous blood sucked out was all spit out onto the ground beside her. Thanks to Qianye's efforts, the deep purple color on Ailijia's pretty face had quietly faded a little.

"It should be... almost there."

Looking at a pool of purple-black liquid not far away, the boy made a rough judgment. As long as he followed this process for the last few times, he could basically start applying medicine and bandaging.

Fortunately, the other party didn't wake up in the middle of the conversation, otherwise there might have been some misunderstanding. It turns out that accidents in novels don't really happen in reality...

Thinking optimistically, Qianye lowered his head once again and continued his treatment. However, this time, when he finished his movements and was about to raise his neck, he felt the delicate body beneath him tremble slightly.

Thump, thump, dong... The young man raised his head stiffly, and instantly looked into a pair of beautiful yet haggard eyes.

Chapter 52: Bewitching

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. A rare blush crept into Lijia's pale face as she tentatively asked, "Is it done?"

Qianye just nodded mechanically, then seemed to remember something and quickly spat out the poisonous blood in his mouth.

Seeing the other person so embarrassed, Lijia couldn't help but cover her mouth with one hand and chuckle: "Hahaha, sorry, sorry, it seems I should have continued to pretend to be unconscious."

"No, I'm already very grateful that you didn't slap me right after you found out."

Listening to the boy's complaints, the smile in Lijia's eyes became even more intense. To be honest, the first time she saw Qianye lying on top of her after waking up, coupled with the subtle touch from her abdomen, she really subconsciously wanted to kick him out.

Fortunately, her hands and feet were paralyzed and weak at that time, which gave her enough time to think.

"But now, what should I call you? Miss Alijia, the owner of the perfume shop in the Yuhong Building, or Ms. Lijia, the gym leader of the Yuhong Gym?"
