How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

At this point, the girl seemed to remember something and paused, scratching her head. "It's just that our house is a little special compared to other houses. If the master comes, you must always follow me."

……

After nearly half an hour's journey, Qianye and his group finally arrived at the house Ah Xing mentioned under her guidance.

It was a large courtyard built of wooden materials. Although it looked very simple in appearance, the scale of the house was exaggerated. It was completely incomparable to the ordinary houses that Qianye and his companions had seen on the road before.

A hint of curiosity arose in his heart. Qianye turned to look at the purple-haired girl next to him and asked:

"A Xing, what exactly does your family do?"

"Eh? This, this... is just some small props hehe~"

Ah Xing's voice was a little hesitant, probably because she knew that her answer was not credible. She ran directly behind the two people and pushed their waists into the house:

"Anyway, Master, please go into the inner room first!"

Being pushed all the way, his legs crossed the threshold and took a few steps forward. The wooden planks under his feet creaked. Hearing this movement, Qianye frowned slightly and raised his foot to step on it with a little force.

Feeling the vibration reflected back to my body, there is no mistake... There is a vacuum structure under the floor, a strange design.

"Master Qianye, the door is here!"

Ah Xing's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. Turning around, he saw the girl gently pushing the wall, and the rectangular wall began to rotate inward, like a hidden revolving door.

Glancing at the endless corridor ahead, then at the opened trapdoor at the other end, Qianye slowly walked behind the young lady and said expressionlessly, "If I walk straight through that corridor, what will I encounter?"

"Probably... I'll step on the rotating floor halfway and fall into a trap filled with sticky webs, triggering a tripwire mechanism and dumping a bunch of Thunderbolts hidden in the secret compartment..."

"But don't worry! Those Thunderbolts have undergone rigorous special training. They won't explode unless ordered to do so. The most they can do is knock someone out... probably."

The more he spoke, the less confident he became. Ah Xing hung his head, looking very depressed. "Okay, I admit... this is the location of the Crimson Gym, and my father Ah Ju is the gym leader here."

"Our family is a ninja family, and setting up various traps has always been my father's hobby. So when he became the gym leader, he transformed the Crimson Gym into a house of traps..."

"Wait a minute!" Qianye quickly interrupted after hearing some key information.

"You said your father is the Crimson Gym Leader. Doesn't that mean he's a Poison-type Pokémon? If you want to learn how to raise Poison-type Pokémon, why would you need another teacher? Wouldn't it be better to just ask him to teach you directly?"

"He keeps saying things like I'm still young, it's too dangerous to start training poison-type Pokémon now, and it's not time for me to take over from him..."

"That's why I thought of stopping the trainers who wanted to challenge the Crimson Gym first. If I can defeat them, I can prove to him that I have become a ninja who can stand on my own."

So that's why A Xing attacked them. Honestly, Qianye couldn't understand the other party's father's choice. Poison-type Pokémon generally carry strong toxins, and inexperienced trainers could be in danger if they were not careful.

Apparently, Xing is not old enough to be allowed to come into contact with poison-type Pokémon, and her father's reluctance to guide her in Pokémon training is probably due to this consideration.

"So, that Pokémon battle during the day was probably your first attempt at commanding a Pokémon in battle, right?"

"Yes, yes. For this purpose, I even secretly brought Golbat and Moth out. They have been with me since I was very young, so they will obey my instructions."

Qianye could notice that when talking about her Pokémon, there was a bright light in Ah Xing's eyes. Although she lost to him in the Pokémon battle, judging from her command performance, she definitely did her homework in advance.

I suddenly thought of myself and Kuroko. The relationship between them was so similar to the relationship between Axing and her Pokémon. How could a mere toxin break the bond that had been cultivated for a long time?

"In that case, let's go to the training room together." Having made up his mind, Qianye walked through the revolving door and strode into the hidden passage.

"Master Qianye..."

"No need to say more. I have seen your will. Leave the rest of the training to me!"

Seeing the boy turn around and give her a thumbs-up, Ah Xing felt a sense of recognition for the first time. Unfortunately, now was not a good time for her to express her feelings...

A light sound like a spring was heard in the passage, and then the ceiling above Qianye's head suddenly opened, and a large bucket of sticky white glue poured down on his head.

"Master Qianye, what I actually wanted to say is that there is also a mechanism over there..." Ah Xing added weakly as she only managed to stretch forward halfway, as if to grab the other person's arm. Looking at the mechanism that had been activated, she added weakly.

……

Under Ah Xing's leadership, the group passed through the intricate and trap-laden maze of the Crimson Gym and finally arrived at the training ground in the center of the gym.

Even here, Qianye, who had already suffered from PTSD due to various mechanisms, was still observing his surroundings vigilantly, cautiously afraid of triggering any device again.

After all, if the boy had not been agile and retreated in time, he would have been soaked in glue.

"Master, there are no traps here, please don't worry." Seeing Qian Ye looking around nervously, Ah Xing, who understood what he was worried about, hurriedly reminded him.

"Qianye, we checked and found nothing unusual."

Only after Nancy also sent him a safe signal did his nervous heart relax a little. After coughing a few times to ease the awkwardness, Qianye took out his Poké Ball and released Umbreon with a red beam.

"Although I've already explained the principle once before, since seeing it with your own eyes is more helpful than just hearing the theory, let Umbreon demonstrate it to you in person."

"I understand, Master!" Sitting cross-legged on the ground like a well-behaved student, Axing also took out his Poké Ball and released Golbat and Mothra.

"You should also remember carefully how Master made his Luna Eevee, and start practicing in the same way from now on~"

Upon hearing this, Golbat and Mothra looked at each other, chirped in affirmative response, folded their wings and landed on the ground.

"Buey~" At this time, Umbreon also learned about his mission from Chiye, and took the can of sleeping powder.

After letting out a soft cry to signal the two Pokémon to look over, Umbreon unscrewed the top of the can and without hesitation poured all the green powder in the can onto itself.

Chapter 85: Gambling

Green sleeping powder was spread evenly on the skin of Umbreon. As time went by, the powder gradually seeped into the black fur.

"Eevee..." As the sleeping powder was completely absorbed, sleepiness quickly rushed to the head. Moon Eevee yawned loudly, but that was all.

The highly toxic body fluid was quietly secreted, flowing along the Moon Eevee's legs to the surface. The wooden floor was corroded by the toxin, and bursts of white smoke rose.

Ah Xing carefully approached the pool of dark purple venom on the ground and put her face close to it while trying not to touch it.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see many green granular objects flowing in the venom. Those are the sleeping powder that has not yet completely dissolved in the poison.

"Here, let your Pokémon try it too."

Qianye stretched out his hands and handed the two different colored bottles, one yellow and one green, to the girl. "The yellow powder is paralysis powder, and the green powder is sleeping powder. Remember to be careful when you open it."

Ah Xing nodded, took the two powder bottles, and turned to look at the Mormoth and Golbat lying on the ground. "Did you all see the example clearly? Did you remember how Umbreon refined the poison?"

"Mo~" "Zhi~"

"Very good! Then let's start our ninja training!" She clenched her fists and raised them towards the sky. The flame of fighting spirit was burning behind her. The two Pokémon seemed to be infected by the girl's emotions and responded with excited chirps.

If I remember correctly, what we are practicing now are methods of ambush others... Can learning this kind of thing be considered passionate?

Different from Qianye who was full of complaints at the moment, Moon Eevee was very satisfied with the performance of these two apprentices. With such ambition, I am not alone.

The cork of the powder jar was opened, and Axing imitated what Moon Eevee did before, pouring the yellow and green powder directly onto Moth and Golbat respectively.

It didn't take long before the two Pokémon began to react - Mothra's body was stiff as a stone, with circles forming in its bubble-like eyes. It looked like not only was its body completely numb and unable to move, but even its brain was invaded by the effect of the paralyzing powder, and it could not even speak clearly.

As for Golbat on the other side, he closed his eyes and lay on the ground, sleeping silently. His big mouth opened and closed repeatedly, making bursts of snoring.

"How could this happen..." Seeing her two Pokémon both deeply trapped in negative states, Ah Xing's face suddenly fell.

"You added too much powder at once. I should have mentioned that it's normal for a beginner to not be able to handle such a large dose."

Qianye himself hadn't considered this point. After all, when Umbreon first used this tactic, it simply relied on willpower to offset the negative effects on her. The resulting misconception made him subconsciously believe that Axing's Pokémon could do the same.

Now that I think about it, Moon Eevee's talent somewhat confirms the old saying "When Arceus closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you." She is born with almost no ability to learn any attacking moves, but her innate deficiencies have also honed her iron-like faith that is difficult for ordinary Pokémon to achieve.

"The prerequisite for incorporating the ingredients of sleep powder and paralysis powder into a poison is that it is completely absorbed into the body. In other words, before using the poison with special effects, the Pokémon itself must first endure the baptism of these negative effects."

"In this training, methods and techniques aren't the most important things; perseverance is. What you need to cultivate is the Pokémon's tolerance for these abnormal states, until they can almost ignore the effects..."

"Of course, this kind of thing can't be cured overnight with just one or two practices. It's better to start with a smaller dose and add it gradually."

As he said this, Qianye took out two new cans of paralysis powder and sleeping powder. When he was about to hand them to the girl, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

"Be careful!" He suddenly released the can in one hand, quickly reached out and grabbed Ah Xing's clothes, pulling her towards him. In a flash, several silver trails brushed past the girl's back and penetrated deeply into the wall of the room.

Putting down the ankle that he had just raised to catch the falling powder canister, Qianye looked sideways at the kunai whose tips were completely embedded in the wall. He began to wonder if he had walked into the wrong set.

"Your Excellency is truly skilled in martial arts." A strong female voice was heard, accompanied by applause. A hidden opening was opened in the wall near the ceiling from where the hidden weapon had just been launched.

As everyone's attention focused, a figure in a red ninja uniform jumped out from a dark entrance, performed a light somersault in mid-air, and landed on the ground almost silently.

Only then did Qianye see the other person's face clearly. Her hair, tied in a long ponytail, was a verdant green, and her bangs extended from her forehead and were curled. Apart from her more mature face, her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Ah Xing's.

"Aunt Aya! Why are you here?" When Qianye was still guessing the woman's identity, Ah Xing had already shouted in surprise and gave the answer.

"Why else could it be? My dear niece brought two strangers home without a word, so as her aunt, I naturally have to come and see what's going on."

There was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone. Although Aya had long been aware of her niece's restless personality, this was the first time she had brought a stranger home.

The key point is that they brought strangers without discussing it with their family members in advance... It would have been fine if they hadn't discussed it, but one of the two people they brought was a male of the same age.

This is a very dangerous signal. Fortunately, I was the first person to know this news. If it was my elder brother who came here, there would be some bloodshed today.

"So what? I just met some friends outside. What's wrong with inviting them to stay at home? And I have to be attacked by you with a hidden weapon, auntie."

Although Aya was dissatisfied, Ah Xing was even more unhappy. Not to mention that Qian Ye was her newly recognized master, even if he was just an ordinary friend, she would feel guilty for being so "welcomed" by her family.

"My target is only the can of sleeping powder. At most, I can let you have a good sleep. With my skills, there is no possibility of missing the can. No one will be in danger."

Her words were filled with strong confidence. Aya folded her arms across her chest and continued to educate the girl, "Axing, you're still just a child. You can't do anything without the consent of an adult..."

"No way! I've already become a disciple of a powerful trainer, and he's helping me train with poison-type Pokémon. Soon, I'll surpass you and Dad and become the strongest ninja."

"What did you say..." The ninja's eyes suddenly became dangerous. She turned to look at Qianye. Was this the man who led her lovely niece astray?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had such an agreement with my niece, but I guess... this is just a joke, right?"

The words were very polite, but there was an obvious threat in the tone. Qianye naturally understood the implicit meaning, and the same was true for Nazhi, who had been standing behind him without saying a word.

The long hair that fell like a waterfall began to flutter. The girl hadn't been so angry for a long time. A green light gradually lit up in her eyes. She was about to teach Qianye a lesson to this woman who took his kindness for granted.

However, before she could do anything, Qianye's voice reached her mind through telepathy: "Nazi, calm down. Leave this to me."

"Ms. Aya, I promised your niece that I would guide her through her training with poison-attribute Pokémon. Now that I've made that promise, I absolutely cannot break it."

"Your Excellency, are you suggesting that you teach the daughter of a Poison-type gym owner in Kanto how to use Poison-type Pokémon? That's a bit too arrogant."

Aya's face turned even uglier. If Aya was just worried that the other party would put her niece in danger before, now she was more angry that her family's reputation was challenged by an outsider.

"It's hard to say who's more arrogant, but I have a way to prove it... Miss Aya, would you like to make a bet?"

"Oh, what do you want to bet on?"

"Ms. Aya, you grew up here. I'm sure you've been practicing poison for over a decade. And I... just need a week. In a week, I'll have Axing challenge you. I think the outcome of this challenge will tell the whole story."

"Okay, I accept your bet! You can stay here, and I'll talk Ah Xing's father into not interfering with your teaching."

What a joke! She had watched Ah Xing grow up, a newbie with no experience in a Pokémon battle. And in just a week, she thought she could beat her? She was bragging without even thinking.

Having already thought about how she would punish the overconfident young man as a winner after the challenge, the female ninja turned around, exerted force on her feet, and jumped lightly back into the secret opening in the wall.

Seeing her aunt's back disappear before her eyes, Ah Xing's face was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, Master, for making you suffer this kind of treatment..."

However, the boy did not show any anger. Instead, he smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Don't say anything more. Let's get back to training. One week is very tight. You don't want me to embarrass myself then, do you?"

She was slightly startled, but soon a smile appeared on Ah Xing's pretty face, and she nodded vigorously.

"Well, definitely mission accomplished!"

Chapter 86: Sleeping Poisonous Diamond, Aju Appears

The week-long special training ended quickly, and it was finally time for Ah Xing's aunt to come and check the results. The female ninja in red stood proudly opposite Qianye and his group with her arms folded in front of her chest.

"Axing, those are the only two Pokémon you can command. Auntie won't bully you. In the next Pokémon battle, I will also only send out two Pokémon."

"Then it's decided to be you, Moth!" Aya took out the Poké Ball and released a light purple fluttering moth.

Seeing this, A Xing's expression remained calm, and he also took out his Poké Ball. "Then it's the same here. Let's go, Molumo."

At this moment, the two moths flying in the field were facing each other. It could be clearly seen that Aya's moth was a size larger.

"Unwise choice. You clearly know that your Pokémon's growth is far inferior to mine, yet you still choose to send the same Pokémon to fight me."

"Tactics are already difficult to use between Pokémon of the same species. Victory or defeat is often determined solely by individual quality. Didn't they even teach you this basic principle? Ah Xing, it seems your so-called master is nothing special."

"Auntie, don't jump to conclusions so quickly! The moth uses sleeping powder!"

Following the girl's order, her moth began to flap its wings, and green powder fell from its transparent wings and was then blown to the opposite side.
