How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Her eyes gradually became hazy, and even a determined Umbreon was moved by it, briefly lost in it. But a sudden throbbing sensation cleared her eyes, and when she looked at Dratini again, she was already filled with fear.

She once heard the lord mention that some Pokémon could amplify their unique charm through certain specific moves, so that the opposite sex who faced it would be completely captivated by it and unable to attack it at all.

This is a negative state that is much more terrifying than confusion, paralysis, poisoning... It is equivalent to being almost completely disabled in the face of the existence that has enchanted it.

What's even scarier is that while Dratini does appear to be using some sort of move, it doesn't act like an "amplifier" of charm, but rather uses this movement to bring out its already existing charm.

There is no gender restriction, even I was attracted by it without realizing it. This level of charm can only be described as magical.

However, even with such a powerful "weapon," Dratini probably wouldn't use it unless it was truly needed. Umbreon now understood why they'd run so far. If they'd seen him dancing, Dratini's personality might have him find a tree and die on the spot.

While I was thinking, the mini dragon's dance had ended. It raised its head happily, hummed softly, and prepared to get down from the rock and return to the camp.

Oh no! Umbreon thought to herself that something was wrong and was about to retract her head. She had to run back to her post before Dratini could.

However, before he could completely retreat into the grass, his sharp eyes noticed the ripples gradually rising behind the rock where the mini dragon was.

The next moment, a thick column of water spurted out. Hearing the noise, Dratini trembled and turned around. After the water splashed away, a wide and long blue Pokémon with a ferocious face and a bloody mouth appeared.

Two long beards hung down from his cheeks, and between a pair of terrifying pupils stood trident-shaped green horns. From his head down, jagged white decks emerged from his back one after another, completely writing the word "ferocious" on his appearance.

However, in stark contrast, with such a brutal face, the pair of eyes that were looking down at the mini dragon that was almost softened into a puddle suddenly took the shape of a heart.

Uh, it looks like Umbreon isn't the only one spying on Dratini's moonlit performance today...

……

Gyarados felt that he was very unlucky today. He had just poked his head out of the stream for the first time in a long time during the day, wanting to find some prey on land to change his diet, but he happened to run into the black demon covered in armor.

In fact, the problem was not that serious. After all, as long as I dive underwater, the guy opposite me can only stand on the shore and stare blankly.

But the bad thing was that she was used to being the king of this stream. As soon as that guy provoked her, she couldn't stand the challenge to her dignity, so she roared and attacked her directly.

As for the result... he slapped the other person hard in the face, and then got a good sleep and sank to the bottom of the water. It can be considered a glorious defeat.

After a long time, Gyarados finally woke up from his sleep with his head still slightly aching. When the memories with pain gradually emerged in his head, Gyarados made an important decision - don't show up in the water for the time being.

It’s not that it’s afraid of that guy, it’s just... compared to those prey on land, the fish under the water are more to its liking.

With this in mind, even when there was a sudden noise overhead in the middle of the night, it didn't even think of sticking its head out to take a look. It wasn't until it heard rustling and rhythmic tapping sounds on the rocks that it finally gave in to its curiosity and moved slightly closer to the surface, just peeking out.

The sight of this beauty dancing under the moon immediately captured his heart. Look at her—she is blue, I am blue too; she is long, I am long too; she has white fins, I have white fins too...we are a perfect match!

It decided to take back what it had said. Today was indeed its luckiest day!

It watched quietly, and when the goddess finished dancing and was ready to leave, it rushed out of the water impatiently to give its goddess a surprise.

Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that it was frightened... The blue color on the mini dragon seemed to be fading away little by little, and its body curled up, and it felt like its soul was about to float away at any moment.

However, Gyarados clearly had no such self-awareness. It thought it was just a jolt of its own dragon body that had drawn the goddess to its aura, and was about to swoop down when a sudden flash of black light swept away the Dratini from the stone.

"Youyi..."

Dratini never expected that Umbreon would appear here. Although he was still afraid, compared to the Gyarados not far ahead who could chew him up and swallow him in one bite, having Umbreon carrying him on his back was really reassuring.

"Buee~" Gently soothing the little sister's emotions, Moon Eevee looked at Gyarados, who stood up angrily after hitting his head on a rock, and had already made plans to retreat.

With Dratini clinging to her, she couldn't use Poison rashly, and besides that, she had no other moves that could effectively stop Gyarados. After a brief consideration, Umbreon turned around, carrying Dratini on its back, and ran away.

Seeing that his goddess was about to be kidnapped by someone, Gyarados could not bear it any longer. He did not care about his original decision and went ashore to catch up.

Although Gyarados's speed on land was far slower than in water, Umbreon was also carrying a heavy load, so it wouldn't be able to close the gap for a while. Just as she was getting increasingly anxious, a familiar young man's voice suddenly rang out beside her:

"Kodora, stop that Gyarados for me!"

My Lord! Umbreon looked up in surprise as Qianye leaped through the air. A massive black figure emerged from beside him and charged directly over Gyarados's head.

With a loud bang, Gyarados's head slammed into the ground. After struggling for a while, it finally pulled its head out of the dirt, spewing out a burning rage from its mouth:

“Who? Who is it?”

The violent roar stopped abruptly when it saw clearly what was in front of it. It subconsciously turned around and looked behind it, but the stream was no longer in its sight.

Gyarados' eyes became clearer than ever, and his beard completely drooped: Hey, can we reconcile?

The answer was a gradually brightening smile on Kodora's face. It was wrong. Today was indeed its most unlucky day!

Chapter 74: Practicing New Moves

"Buyi~Buyi~ (Lord, why are you here?)"

After taking a quick glance at Kodora who was beating up Gyarados on the ground, Umbreon quickly turned its head around and looked at Chiye and Nancy who jumped behind it with surprise and confusion.

"I just wanted to get up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, but then I saw you, Umbreon, were gone, and Dratini's ball had fallen to the ground. I quickly asked Nancy to help me use telekinesis to locate you, and we came all the way here."

"Bu-yi... (I'm sorry for making you worry, my lord.)"

Lowering her head deeply, Umbreon felt very apologetic. She had left the camp during the night watch, which was already deserting her post. As a result, she had put Dratini in danger. No matter how she thought about it, she could not escape blame.

However, in the end, she did not receive Qianye's punishment. Instead, she felt a caress on her head. "It's okay. Didn't I protect my sister well?"

Looking up, she saw the mini dragon clinging to the boy's arm, wrapped around his shoulders like a blue scarf. It looked at her with its big eyes and chirped timidly:

"Thank you..."

Well, this should be the first time that Dratini took the initiative to talk to him. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and Umbreon's ears began to shake.

"Alright, Kodora, that's enough. If you keep fighting, that Gyarados will be beaten to death."

Seeing Kodora with red eyes brutally ravaging the defenseless Gyarados lying on the ground, Qianye couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Come to think of it, he clearly remembered that Gyarados and other Pokémon were generally quite ferocious. How come they didn't even say a word after being beaten by Kodara, which was much smaller than them?

Although given Kodora's personality, the more courageous she appears, the more excited she will be and the more ruthless she will be.

"But...but. (I didn't even use any moves...and this guy is very tough.)"

Hearing Qianye's words, Kodora replied with some dissatisfaction. She stepped on the Gyarados beneath her. It looked like it had been beaten to the point of being unable to move, but in reality, it was probably just playing dead.

But since the man said so, you'll be lucky today... He grabbed the Gyarados on the ground and dragged it all the way to the stream, then with a flick of his tail, swept it into the water like garbage.

After completing the work, the group returned to the camp and went to their original places to rest.

After watching Qianye escort Nancy into the tent, Umbreon thought he would ask why he and Dratini had run so far out in the middle of the night, but the lord didn't ask anything, just said:

"Umbreon, leave the second half of the night to me. You take Dratini and go get some rest first."

"Bu-yi~ (Lord, Bu is not yet tired.)"

"Be obedient." He patted Umbreon's black head, gently pulled down the Dratini that was wrapped around his neck, and placed it on Umbreon's back.

Since Qianye said so, Umbreon couldn't hold on any longer. He carried Dratini on his back and walked to the foot of a big tree near the tent, then lay down and leaned against it.

Just as I closed my eyes and was about to drift off into the dream world, a soft voice suddenly echoed from my back: "Youyi~Youyi... (What I saw tonight...can you please not tell everyone?)"

Did Mini Dragon know? But then again, since he suddenly showed up at such a coincidental time, it was only natural that he would think he was watching from the side.

Feeling a little awkward, after all, sneaking around wasn't the knight's way, but Umbreon still responded promptly to Dratini's question:

"I will keep it a secret for you, but... do you want to hide this from even the lord?"

There was a long silence. Just when he thought the mini dragon had fallen asleep and closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a voice from above: "You... Youyi... (Qianye's words... yes, that's fine too...)"

It sounded like he was using all his strength, but the sound was thinner than a mosquito. Moon Eevee felt a smooth object burying in his fur, causing a slight itchy sensation.

After waiting for a long time, the voice came again intermittently: "You... eh? (Is the dance... good?)"

Of course, it was beautiful! He expressed his feelings honestly, and there seemed to be a wail, and the Dragonite burrowed deeper.

Noticing the subtle emotions unconsciously revealed by the other party, Umbreon suddenly had a good idea and immediately asked while the iron was hot:

"Buyibuyi...Buyi~"

Dratini, why don't you show your dance to the lord and the others? I'm sure everyone will like you~

I like it... After hearing Umbreon's suggestion, a strange scene emerged in my mind. I was like a dragon coiled in the center of a high stage, with a wave of human heads surging below me, glow sticks and signs being raised, and deafening shouts resounding through the sky.

When Mini Dragon thought of this scene, circles suddenly appeared in his big eyes and he fainted on the spot.

Feeling the steady breathing coming from above, Umbreon sighed softly. It seemed Dratini still had a long way to go before he could overcome his introverted nature...

……

The next day was another sunny morning. After breakfast, everyone did not rush to continue their journey, but started their daily training.

Nancy's situation is relatively simple. She has basically learned all the moves that her Pokémon can master, and the training she has done is all meditation to strengthen her telekinesis or to improve various supernatural moves.

However, Qianye's style of painting is different——

Umbreon dug out a purple bottle from her luggage, poured out the powder inside, and smeared it on herself like a girl applying powder, except that she was applying a highly toxic powder. The powder was gradually dissolved by her own toxic body fluids and then absorbed into her body, further refining the toxin.

The Sun Eevee, who hadn't seen his lovely junior for a long time, was just about to come over and give him a close call, but when he saw the purple surface reflecting an ominous luster, he had no choice but to silently choose to move away a few steps.

Not far away, bursts of explosions could be heard, the sound of Kodora colliding with rocks. This wasn't self-harm; colliding with rocks polished the armor covering its body. Afterward, by consuming the broken rocks, the iron within them could be extracted, making its shell even harder.

Especially recently, she has been practicing a move called "Heavy Impact", which requires her to consume a large amount of steel to gain weight. However, she cannot find any mines or other places in the wild for the time being, so she can only chew stones. Although it is a bit slow, it is at least some progress.

As for the black...

Sitting upright on a wooden stump that was chopped down by Kodora yesterday and used as firewood, Qianye stretched out his arm, with a can of canned food resting on his palm.

In front of him, a mighty wolfhound gripped the mud with its front paws, its body tensed in a hunting posture, its eyes fixed on the can.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed in Qianye's eyes, and powerful mental power was immediately attached to the can in his hand, which flew out at the speed of sound.

"Ouch~" His eyes quickly caught the flying tin can. Heizi roared, kicked his hind legs and pounced forward. In a flash, he bit the can in the air.

Wagging his tail, Heizi trotted over to the young man, holding the tin can in his mouth. The young man took the food in his mouth, but his eyes did not look particularly satisfied:

"Kuroko, you have to observe the details of my movements. For every Pokémon, all moves have signs. You have to be able to perceive them before they make a move and launch a faster interception based on the direction of the attack."

"Being ahead of the enemy is the true meaning of surprise attack. Kuroko, you are indeed very fast now, but your reaction and insight are still limited to responding after the opponent has made a move. Pay more attention to this next time."

Heizi nodded ignorantly, his body once again stretched into the posture of drawing a bowstring. Qianye raised his hand slightly, spread out his five fingers, and just as a small corner of the can in his palm was exposed, his furry black palm slapped it.

"This time it happened too quickly. I haven't even taken action yet."

With a hearty laugh, Qianye raised his other hand and rubbed the wolfhound's head fiercely, scratching it until it was completely messy. Heizi quickly shook his head, shaking the messy black hair back to its normal state.

"Okay, let's try again."

……

"It was a little slow, but it was almost at the same time as me. Well done."

"You've already sensed my intention this time. Remember this feeling and let's continue practicing."

"Very good, the success rate has reached a very high level. With a few more attempts, I should be able to master it completely."

After practicing again and again, Kuroko's attack speed became faster and faster, and his movements became more and more precise.

Just when the boy's telekinesis was activated for the last time and he was about to eject the can in his palm, the black claws fell instantly, and the force directly flattened the entire can into a discus, completely bidding farewell to its life as a training prop.

He threw the discarded can outwards with great force and fed it to Kodora as a snack. Qianye stretched out his arm and clashed with the wolfhound's paw in mid-air. "Well done, Heizi! I knew you could do it."

Raid is an evil-type move that can make a targeted strike in advance of the enemy's next attack method at a faster speed. Mastering this move will undoubtedly greatly improve Kuroko's strength.

"However, in future battles, you won't just be facing this single attack mode of mine. Kuroko, you'll need more experimental templates to master this move."

"So next, let's go find other wild Pokémon to battle."

Chapter 75: Encountering a large wolfhound trainer in the wild, repeating the surprise attack and becoming as powerful as a monster

Although I planned to take Kuroko out for a walk to find some wild Pokémon to challenge, after wandering around for a long time, I didn't find even a single one.

This forest looked like it had recently suffered a natural disaster, with all the Pokémon and their entire populations evacuated.

That shouldn't be the case... It's such a large jungle, and the environment and climate are very suitable. Not to mention the insects and bird Pokémon everywhere, even some large Pokémon are likely to live here.

"Kuroko, it looks like we'll just have to find your companions to practice with."

Honestly speaking, this isn't a very good choice. Pokémon on the same team fight together all year round and should be very familiar with each other's behavior habits. There's no suddenness or randomness, so it won't be very effective in increasing the proficiency of raids.
