How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

A familiar, slender hand rested above the smallest meow's paw. A familiar voice rang out, "You guys seem to be planning some fun activities... I wonder if I can join in?"

The trio turned their heads stiffly, only to see a young man giving them a "kind" smile.

"What? It's just a small..."

Before the word "ghost" was uttered, Qianye quickly pulled out a red and white ball from each side of his waist with both hands. Two red lights were emitted. The mighty Kuroko and the ferocious Kodara, two completely black Pokémon, stood on the left and right of the young man, their scarlet eyes staring coldly at the three members of Team Rocket.

Frightened by the terrifying aura, Musashi and Kojiro immediately shrank back and tremblingly took out their Poké Balls: "Don't think you're the only one with Pokémon! Our Pokémon also..."

Before he could press the button with his fingertips, Qianye's eyes suddenly lit up. The huge telekinesis directly caused the Poké Balls in the hands of the two people to fly out of their hands, and with two violent impact sounds, they were embedded in the wall.

Such a close distance is enough for him to use his telekinesis to accurately capture objects, and these guys will not have the chance to release Pokémon.

"In that case, Meow Meow, come on!"

Meow Meow was stunned for a moment, then bared its claws and made a move to jump. However, Heizi bared his teeth, stared at it, and growled threateningly.

The terrifying "threat" frightened Meow Meow so much that the fur on her body stood up. She dodged and hid behind Musashi and Kojiro, screaming:

"I think you guys want me to die, meow~"

This meow...can speak human language?

Looking at Meowth huddled behind the two of them and shivering with some surprise, Pokémon normally cannot learn human language. It has nothing to do with intelligence. It is mainly because their own organs such as vocal cords do not support their pronunciation.

Even Kuroko and the others need to transform into human form before they can truly speak like human beings.

"Interesting, but unfortunately, now isn't the time for research... You have two choices now. One is to resist and let me tie you up obediently, then I'll send you to the administrator here."

"What about Er?" Kojiro, who was already hugging Musashi in fear, asked subconsciously.

"Secondly, I'll help you remove some unnecessary parts first. Once you're physically unable to resist, I'll tie you up and take you to the gym leader."

Qianye's smile was very sunny, but after combining it with the words just now, the three members of Team Rocket seemed to see a devil grinning at them.

Chapter 68: The Man Returning from Hell

Compared to the many vicious criminals Qianye had dealt with, this trio was so special that it was almost amusing.

Although they also had the Rocket Team's "R" logo on their bodies, they did not have the ruthless temperament of their counterparts. Qian Ye was even on guard when he tied them up, wondering if they had any bad intentions, but in the end, apart from some whining, they were quite honest.

In short, after confiscating all the dangerous items from them, Qianye asked Nancy to use instant teleportation to bring everyone to Lijia.

It just so happened that Ash's gym challenge was nearing its end. In the three-on-three battle, both sides had fought until the last Pokémon. Qianye and the others had just emerged from the white light when they saw Pikachu, which had reached its limit, complete a comeback by using a 100,000-volt electric shock against Rika's Skank.

"Qianye, and Natsu-chan... who are those people over there?"

Just as Lijia was about to take out the Rainbow Badge and hand it to Xiaozhi, she saw the familiar white light of superpowers, her two friends, and the three members of Team Rocket who were tied up like dumplings at their feet.

Before Qianye could reply, as if some key word had been triggered, the three members of Team Rocket began to flutter and struggle like a Magikarp stranded on the shore. Even with their limbs bound tightly, they stubbornly held their heads high and said:

"Since you asked the question sincerely."

"Then we will tell you with great mercy."

"Carrying out love and truthful evil."

"A cute and charming villain."

"Musashi." "Kojiro."

"We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy."

"A white tomorrow awaits us."

"That's it, meow~"

How did these guys manage to come up with such silly lines in such a situation? Aren't they embarrassed at all?

Seeing their "talent show" for the first time, Qianye was stunned, even wondering if he had misunderstood something. Could these guys really be Team Rocket? Or were they just some imitators who thought Team Rocket was cool?

Lijia's reaction was similar to Qianye's, but Xiaozhi and his group immediately came to their senses and pointed at the three people on the ground and shouted: "Team Rocket! You actually followed us here!"

His eyes scanned back and forth between Xiaozhi and the three members of Team Rocket. Sensing something fishy, ​​Qianye approached Xiaoxia, who was closest to him, and asked:

"You and these people have known each other before?"

Hearing this, Misty sighed, "More than just knowing each other, these three idiots have been chasing us all the way from Viridian City. They're like sticky plasters and we can't shake them off. Their only target is Ash's Pikachu, though he gets knocked away every time."

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just for a Pikachu? It's not a particularly rare Pokémon... No, it seems that Xiaozhi's Pikachu is really something special.

"Little brat, we're not here for your Pikachu this time."

"Yes, yes, what we want to get is the secret recipe of the perfume here."

Musashi and Kojiro stuck their heads out, their eyes met Satoshi's, and intense sparks flew in the air.

"Ahem, it seems you haven't figured out the current situation. You're all suspected of both trespassing and attempted arson. According to Alliance law, I should take you directly to the police station."

Qianye gave a few friendly reminders and flashed his non-staff investigator badge. The three members of Team Rocket who were still in a standoff suddenly stiffened and looked dejected like pickled cucumbers.

"Lika, what are your plans?"

Judging from the attitudes of Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and the others, these three guys don't seem to be real villains. Qianye is not to the point where he can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, so there is certainly no need to kill them all.

However, the boy's own thoughts are secondary. The one who is truly qualified to decide how to deal with them is Lijia.

The girl walked forward gracefully, her face completely devoid of anger towards those who wanted to destroy her gym. She leaned down slightly and politely asked the three members of Team Rocket on the ground:

"So, you guys are here to learn how to make my perfume, right?"

Hearing this question, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth looked at each other. Perhaps because Rika's attitude was so good, the three of them nodded tentatively.

"That's easy. I can give you a bottle of perfume liquid as a gift, as long as you promise not to harass Yuhong Gym again in the future."

What a great deal! Not only did they not have to be taken away by that apparently young yet terrifying young man, but they could also directly obtain a bottle of perfume concentrate. As for the subsequent research, it would be a simple task for the three of them with their skills.

Seeing the ecstasy on each other's faces, the three members of Team Rocket nodded frantically like chickens pecking at rice.

"Qianye, please help untie them~"

Lijia said with a smile, then clapped her hands. Soon, several maids from Yuhong Gym came out carrying a bottle of dark yellow perfume.

At this time, the three members of Team Rocket, who had been untied, stared at the glass bottle. After obtaining Rika's consent with their eyes, they reverently took the bottle of perfume with both hands.

He thanked them repeatedly, took a few steps back, and then, perhaps fearing they would return, ran out like a flash. Seeing the figures disappear, Qianye was about to say something to Lijia, but saw Musashi and Kojiro turning back for some unknown reason.

"Um, can our Pokémon also..." The two looked nervously and looked at the boy with a somewhat flattering tone.

He's still thinking about his own Pokémon at this time. It seems he's really different from the other Team Rockets...

Qianye didn't make things difficult for them. He simply took out the Poké Balls he had confiscated earlier and gently tossed them back into their hands. This time, he actually saw the trio leave the gym, and Qianye was able to ask Lijia that question:

"The perfume you gave me, could it be..."

Lijia held up her finger and made a shushing gesture. "The original liquid of the perfume is the extract of the stinking flower. I didn't lie to them. An extract that doesn't meet quality standards can also be the original liquid of the perfume, right?"

At this moment, Qianye seemed to see a pair of devil's horns on the girl's head.

On the other side, the Rocket trio, who had "returned with a full load", finally stopped after running a thousand meters away from the Yuhong Gym and excitedly checked the "trophies" they had worked so hard to obtain.

"Hey Musashi, do you think the color of the perfume liquid in this bottle is weird?" Kojiro said, looking at the dark yellow solution in the glass bottle and feeling something was wrong.

"You idiot, perfume, perfume, the scent is what's most important, the color doesn't matter. Quick, quick, open the bottle and smell it."

At Musashi's urging, Kojiro reached out and pinched the bottle mouth, and exerted great strength to unscrew the cork. For a moment, a strange stench mixed with the dark yellow gas drifted out.

"It stinks!"

The three members of Team Rocket raised their hands to cover their noses, but they couldn't stop the dizziness caused by the stench. In an instant, wailing sounds resounded through the sky:

“What a disgusting feeling!!!”

……

In the distant Hoenn region, in a secret laboratory belonging to the Evolution Association, Dr. Shiratani pushed his glasses up and congratulated the blue-haired young man lying on the white bed:

"Mr. Lance, congratulations on your return from hell. I hope you will be satisfied with the new pair of legs we made."

After removing the quilt from his body, Lance turned around and stretched his legs down to touch the ground with some discomfort. The long-lost and lingering touch came, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and feel it carefully.

The past few weeks can be said to be the darkest period for Lance so far. His disabled legs have cut off all his ambitions. For a cadre like him who has been engaged in field work for a long time, he has basically lost his value to the Rockets.

This was something Lance would rather die than accept. He had originally planned to end his life before the Alliance tortured him, but during the escort process, he was unexpectedly kidnapped by the Evolution Association.

Lance didn't know why the other party did such a thing. As a cadre of an underground organization, he naturally knew that benefits always come with a price. The Evolution Association definitely couldn't have saved him out of a sudden act of kindness.

But since the other party helped him gain his freedom and healed his legs... as long as it doesn't threaten the interests of the Rockets, he doesn't mind helping those people a little.

"Dr. Shiratani, I'm personally very grateful for your organization's assistance... Tell me what you need. I'll definitely do my best to fulfill any request I can."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lance, you're too polite. Last time, I was able to escape thanks to your escort. This time, I'm just repaying your favor. How dare I make any demands?"

Dr. Shiratani chuckled. Judging by the sincerity on his face, one might think he simply wanted to repay a favor. But Lance knew his own character well. He hadn't saved him because he wanted anything from him. Lance believed Dr. Shiratani wasn't lying. So, the implication was... if he didn't want anything from him, then who did he want anything from?

Raising his head, his snake-like gaze rested on the other person's face. Lance was waiting, waiting for the other person to reveal his purpose himself.

"Come to think of it, besides us, there are quite a few people who are concerned about your health... I believe you would also like to meet that person."

Dr. Shiratani said this with a mysterious smile as he opened the door to the laboratory. The next moment, a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a buzz cut and a commanding demeanor, walked into the small room.

The moment he saw the man's face, even Lance couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Lord Itaki!"

Chapter 69: Kazeshima Sho

"Master Banmu, I am a sinner who failed to do my job well. Why do I need you to come and visit me in person?"

Lance quickly bent his knees and half-knelt, looking at the ground with eyes full of respect. However, Banmu walked up to him, without saying a word, and stretched out his hands to help him up from the ground.

"What crime have you committed? Since even you fell into the hands of that young man, it just proves that your judgment was correct."

"But Lord Itaki, I failed to convince him to join Team Rocket, and because of that, I exposed our secret base in Yuhong City."

"It's okay. The league's top brass had raised doubts about Yuhong Gaming City a long time ago. I was already thinking about giving it up, but I just moved it up a little. Compared to all that, the core members of our Rockets team are still here, which is what's most important."

The middle-aged man's expression remained calm, as if Team Rocket's defeat in Yuhong City hadn't shaken his resolve in the slightest. Hearing his words, Lance unconsciously lowered his head even lower.

"Master Banmu..."

"Okay, you should understand that excuses and apologies are meaningless to me. Once you recover, return to your job as soon as possible."

"As ordered."

After greeting his subordinates, Banmu turned his gaze to Dr. Shiratani beside him and said in a serious tone, "No need for unnecessary formalities. I came here in person just to confirm one thing - you said you found clues about Kazejima Sho?"

"Kazeshima Sho? Isn't that the founder of the Evolution Association?"

Lance still remembers this name because he is one of the few non-Rocket people who occupies a separate section in the Rocket Team's advanced files. It is said that he died accidentally in an experimental accident more than ten years ago. The current leader of the Evolution Association is already the second president.

Just as he was wondering why his boss mentioned this legendary figure to Professor Shiratani, Banmu's next words made him open his eyes wide in shock:

"Lance, since you only joined Team Rocket in recent years, you probably don't know that Kazeshima Sho was once a member of our Team Rocket research team."

"I still remember very clearly that the subject he was researching at the time was how to allow ordinary Pokémon to break through the limitations of their own species and step into the realm of Legendary Pokémon."

"This...how is this possible?!" Lance felt that his ideas were being completely overturned. You know, Team Rocket is currently conducting a top-secret research project - that is, to clone and create legendary Pokémon directly under their control by collecting genes from a fossil of a legendary beast that they accidentally obtained.

This project took several decades, and the investment of various resources during this period was immeasurable. After paying such a huge price, it finally achieved a result that is basically impossible to replicate.

For most people, being able to control a single Legendary Pokémon is already an exaggerated delusion, but the research the boss is talking about is a thousand times more insane! Imagine if everyone in the organization could command a team of Legendary Pokémon. What in the world could stop Team Rocket?

"It's truly impossible, so he ultimately failed... The Evolution Association's specialty, the Miracle Virus, is the product of Kazeshima Sho's failed research. While it still has terrifying effects, it clearly can't live up to the initial expectations."

Banmu slowly recounted the distant past. Although his tone was very flat, Lance could actually hear a hint of regret in his words.

"He was a persistent man who would never accept failure... Therefore, after he could no longer receive financial support from the organization, he left the organization on his own and went to the Hoenn region to develop his career. This was the origin of the Evolution Association."
