How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

"Excess impurities are filtered out, and the liquid is purified through eighteen steps. After completing these steps, it is fermented for 49 days. When bubbles no longer appear on the surface of the liquid and the color turns a bright deep purple, the culture medium is officially complete."

After leaving the Qianhong Gym, Qianye walked on the dirt road of Qianhong City, his eyes never leaving the booklet of "Poison Heart Sutra", and he kept muttering to himself as if he was possessed.

"Qianye, are you researching a method to let Moon Eevee practice poison?" Looking at the young man immersed in the book, Nancy couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, it records the method for producing a culture medium for practicing with extremely poisonous substances. The materials required aren't particularly precious, but they are too numerous and varied. Furthermore, the production process is also very complicated. It's extremely difficult to gather all the necessary conditions in such a short period of time."

Qianye's eyes ached as he looked at the densely packed pages of materials. He'd stopped by a nearby herbal medicine store before leaving, but had only managed to gather less than 10% of the necessary supplies. Purchasing them all at once seemed unrealistic, so he could only slowly gather the materials as he traveled.

"Qian Ye...you haven't had a rest for a long time." A hint of worry flashed in her red eyes. Since leaving Yuhong City, she had never seen the young man relax.

Worrying about Pokémon training, catching poaching gangs, teaching disciples, challenging gyms... one thing after another made Qianye's mind like a taut string, and now that one thing was finally finished, he had to start worrying about Umbreon again.

Even though Qianye's physique is much better than most people of his age, if he continues like this, he might collapse mentally one day.

Sensing the concern in Nazi's words, Qianye was momentarily stunned. Indeed, due to the many events that had occurred recently, he was physically and mentally exhausted. He hadn't realized it before because his mind wasn't focused on this, but now that Nazi had pointed it out, he realized that his current mental state was indeed a bit off.

Speaking of which, not only did he never relax, but during his busy schedule, he barely had time to spend with Nancy. But the girl never complained, instead always paying attention to her own physical and mental condition, just like now...

"You're right. It's not good to be so tense all the time. It's time to do something relaxing. Nancy..."

He stretched out his arm, wrapped the girl's delicate hand in his palm, gently stroked her fair and smooth skin, and passed his five fingers through each other's fingers, clasping them tightly together like glue.

The sudden bold action brought a faint blush to Naz's pretty face, but she did not resist or reject it at all. Instead, she let go of all resistance and was pulled to a distance that was closer to the other person's body.

"When I was looking at the map earlier, I found a wild wilderness area near the Crimson City. Do you want to go there on a date later?"

"Date...once..." She repeated the two most important words in a low voice. Although Nancy's expression did not change much, the joy and anticipation in her red amber eyes under her curled eyelashes could not be concealed at all.

"Then it's settled!" Amidst exclamations, the girl was lifted up from the ground by the princess. She felt the warm touch on her armpits, and her back was firmly supported in the air by the strong arms.

A pair of slender legs were completely controlled by the other party, and his five fingers wandered over them somewhat dishonestly. The subtle feeling made Nazhi's limbs unconsciously tense, and she subconsciously hooked her arms around Qianye's neck.

"Qian...Qian Ye, just put me down. It's so embarrassing to be out here like this."

However, this weak protest had no effect on Qianye. He showed a wicked smile on his face and hugged the girl in his arms even tighter.

"That won't work. You have to maintain this position until you reach the wild wilderness area."

With swift strides, Qianye aimed for the wild wilderness area indicated on the map and ran. His relaxed laughter mingled with the oncoming wind, drifting away from him, as if throwing all his stress behind him.

The blushing cheeks of the beauty in his arms were like tempting fruits. Unable and unwilling to resist, he could only helplessly bury his pretty face completely in his solid chest.

However, is this because she is shy and doesn't want others to see her face, or is there some other purpose? Only Naz herself knows the answer to this question.

Chapter 92: The Weird Old Man in the Wild Area

The Wild Area is a large area designated by the Pokémon League for wild Pokémon to live naturally, with a large number of different species of Pokémon living here.

Most of the time, the Alliance does not send anyone to interfere with the daily lives of these Pokémon, allowing them to maintain their habits in the wild.

At the same time, in order to prevent trainers from excessively capturing Pokémon, it is prohibited to command Pokémon to attack unless in self-defense, and it is not allowed to use Poké Balls carried by oneself for capturing. Only the 30 hunting balls provided by the park can be used at a time.

"I'm Caesar, the manager of this park. According to the rules, you can only stay here for three hours at a time. If you don't return after ten minutes, you will be charged for overtime. Do you understand?"

When Qianye and his group arrived at the ticket office in the Wild Area, they were greeted by an old man wearing cowboy clothes, with gray hair but still a strong physique.

Although he was the receptionist in charge of this park, his service attitude was really disappointing. He just read out the rules here briefly and then impatiently threw two small bags full of hunting balls to them.

He is exactly the stereotypical stubborn and bad-tempered old man. The alliance appointed such a person as the manager here. Aren’t they really worried that he will drive away customers?

Silently complaining in his heart, Qianye stretched out his hands to open the two small bags in his arms. After confirming that there was no problem with the quantity and quality, he was about to call Nancy to go together, but he heard the girl's voice behind him shouting:

"Qianye, come and take a look!"

In front of where Nancy was standing was a wall covered with photos. The pictures seemed to be taken in different places, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were all photos of a middle-aged man and Pokémon.

He wore a brand new cowboy hat on his head, with a slightly thin face and narrowed eyes. He looked a bit like the old man over there. However, compared to his sullen look now, he had a sunny smile in the photo.

On the wall, each photo with the man shows a different type of Pokémon. Perhaps it is posted there to help tourists know what Pokémon there are in the park... Wait, which photo is that?

Qianye's attention was attracted by a photo in the corner. It seemed to be taken beside a stream. A blue head popped out from the arms of a man with a bright smile. There were two white fins on both sides, and a small, underdeveloped white horn on the forehead.

"Mini Dratini? How could it appear in a place like this?"

The boy subconsciously reached out and touched the Poké Ball containing his Dratini. There was no response from the ball. Perhaps it was asleep.

However, he was just sighing originally. But after hearing the sound, Caesar, who was slacking off behind the counter, suddenly jumped up from his seat and walked towards them aggressively.

Caesar's already grim expression turned even uglier. He ripped the photo of Dratini off the wall and said in a muffled voice, "There's no Dratini here. You're mistaken."

"Uh, but that photo..."

Qianye wanted to say something about the other party's self-deception, but Caesar didn't seem to want to reason with him. He put one hand on the small bag on his waist and quickly pulled out a revolver - a pistol.

The cold barrel of the gun was pointed at his face. The boy could smell a hint of gunpowder. It seemed to be a real gun.

Caesar's threatening behavior immediately angered Nancy who was beside Qianye. A green light appeared in her eyes, and her telekinesis quickly attached to the revolver, directly bending the barrel.

"What?!" The old man seemed very surprised at the strange thing happening to his pistol, but even more surprising was yet to come. An invisible mysterious force suddenly grabbed his body and lifted him up into the air.

"Nazi, it's enough." Qianye said as he watched Caesar struggling in the air with a pale face. Although the old man's personality was indeed quite annoying, at his age, he probably couldn't withstand such torture.

Hearing this, the green telekinesis surrounding the opponent finally dissipated, causing him to fall to the ground.

Supporting his aching waist from the fall, Caesar slowly got up from the ground. After the wonderful experience just now, his eyes became a little frightened when he looked at Naz, and his attitude suddenly became much better.

Just mentioning the mini dragon, he still stubbornly insisted: "Like I said just now, there really is no mini dragon here."

I don't know why this old man is so obsessed with the mini dragon. Is he worried that it will be caught by tourists outside?

"While Dratini is indeed a very rare Pokémon, as long as it is captured using a Hunting Ball according to the park's regulations, it is legal, right?"

"Things are not as simple as you think..." Caesar sighed lightly after hearing the boy's puzzled question.

"The name Dratini is its biggest trademark. As soon as word gets out that Dratini lives in the wild, countless trainers will flock to it, disrupting the lives of the wild Pokémon here!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, but after a moment, he realized that his statement was a disguised admission that there were indeed mini dragons here, and quickly changed his words:

"Of course, I'm just giving an example, I'm not saying there really is a Dratini."

"Understood, don't worry, old man. We won't tell anyone that there are mini dragons here."

"I told you they're not here..." He was still thinking about correcting the other party, but in the blink of an eye, the boy and girl disappeared.

Sitting back in his chair powerlessly, Caesar knew that he was only deceiving himself by doing this, but he really didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his youth.

"Mini Dragon, I will never let anyone disturb your life again..."

Caesar gently brushed his fingers against the photo he had taken off, staring at the blue-skinned "little snake" in the scene in a trance, muttering to himself.

……

The warm breeze brought the fragrance of green grass, and before my eyes, a large group of Kentaro ran across the vast grassland. They had no fixed destination, but were just free to do what they wanted. This was a microcosm of the wild Pokémon living here.

Perhaps infected by this relaxed and carefree feeling, Qianye relaxed every muscle in his body and lay down comfortably on the grassland.

The grass beneath him was as soft as a natural bed, wrapping his entire back warmly. The grass leaves danced in the wind and gently swept across his body, "massaging" the boy's slightly tired body.

Feeling the fatigue that had accumulated earlier gradually dissipate, Qianye lazily didn't even want to move a finger. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Nancy who was sitting next to him. The girl took the initiative to place her small hand in his palm.

"Is there any Pokémon Nancy wants to catch?"

The girl shook her head slightly. She was only interested in Psychic-type Pokémon, and she hadn't seen any of that type on the display wall just now. Moreover...

"Didn't I tell you to relax?"

"But there's no need to fight here. Simply enjoying the process of catching is also a form of entertainment. We've finally come here, don't you want to give it a try?"

“As long as I’m with Qianye, even if I don’t do anything, I’ll feel relaxed… um!”

As Nancy was speaking, she suddenly felt a huge force on her arm, pulling her defenseless body onto the boy's chest.

"What are you doing?" He stretched out his fist and hit the other person's chest with some anger, but he was reluctant to use any strength in his arm.

"Isn't that what Nancy said? You'll feel relaxed no matter what you do as long as you're with me..." Qianye suddenly grabbed the hand that was hammering the other person softly. After a flip, the positions of the two were reversed in an instant.

The situation now was very delicate. Nazzi's body was pressed down by the young man's sturdy body, and both of her wrists were controlled by Qianye's hands. A pair of burning eyes were fixed on her face, staring at her until her face felt a little hot.

Judging from the current development trend, the next step is to do that...

She wasn't opposed to the activity; she even liked it a little. After all, it was quite comfortable. But, did she really have to start it in this place? Even if the staff rarely came here, wild Pokémon would still pass by from time to time.

His heart was beating like a deer, and as that fresh and handsome face gradually approached, two whirlpools formed in his confused red eyes.

Qianye, are you ready? Here now!

She closed her eyes, relaxed her limbs, gave up all resistance and waited for the boy's next move, but a long time passed and the fabric against her body was still intact.

Naz opened her eyes in confusion, but saw that Qianye had already gotten off her, holding his head and lying back on the grass.

"I'm just teasing you. I'm not so cruel as to 'eat' Nancy in a place like this. For now, just lie on the grass with me and admire the sky... Nancy?"

There was no response from the girl beside him. Qianye turned his head to look, but saw that Nancy had turned her back to him, her shoulders heaving slightly, as if she was sulking.

"I'm sorry, Nazi. I will never make such vulgar jokes again next time..." Qianye panicked and apologized quickly, but for some reason he felt that Nazi seemed even angrier.

Just as the boy tried hard to apologize to the girl to calm her down, neither of them noticed that a pair of eyes were looking towards them. On the smooth yellow round face hidden in the grass, the azure eyes took in the entire interaction between the two.

The next moment, it released its two claws that were grabbing the grass leaves, and its tail with flames swept past, pushing the grass to cover all traces of its coming.

Chapter 93: Mini Dragon's Recognition of His Parents

Almost half of the time for playing in the wild wilderness area has passed, but Qianye and Nazhi have not had time to take a look at most of the areas.

The young man clutched the map in his hand, his pace quickening slightly. Nancy, relying on telekinesis, slowly floated behind him, her face rather nonchalant. Just then, a murmuring sound caught her attention.

Her eyes immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from. Although it was only for a moment, she did clearly see something yellow flash by beside a hill.

What it is?

Out of curiosity, the girl was about to send out her telekinesis to explore the true form of the mysterious yellow creature. But before she could do that, she heard Qianye, who was walking ahead with a map, suddenly speak:

"It's strange... that something like this could happen."

"What's wrong, Qianye?" Nazhi immediately put aside the idea of ​​exploring the true identity of the mysterious creature and quickly floated to the young man's side.

"Nazi, come and look at these two maps."

He leaned forward and quickly scanned the two maps that Qianye was holding in his hands. One was a map covering the entire Qianhong City and its surrounding areas, and the other was a park map provided by the Wild Wilderness Area Management Office.

"Any questions?"

Nazzi's eyes moved back and forth across the two maps, but no matter how carefully she looked, she couldn't see where the "strange place" Qianye mentioned was.

"That part of the map of Light Red City has a rough marking of the Wilderness Area. Calculate the area based on the scale given there, and then compare it with the Wilderness Area map."

As a powerful psychic, Naz's calculation ability was naturally far superior to that of an average person, and she calculated the result in her mind in just a few seconds. After comparing it with another map as Qianye requested, she also found something strange:

"The map provided by the Wilderness District itself shows a small area missing from the area marked on the map of Light Red City..."

After thinking about it for a while, Naz came up with a fairly reasonable explanation: "Could it be that one of the two maps was published incorrectly?"

This actually made sense. The small missing area wasn't an exaggerated mistake. Qianye's first thought after discovering this anomaly was actually similar. However...

"Nazi, you remember that the park manager has always been very secretive about the existence of Dratini here. If that's the case, he certainly wouldn't want other tourists to see Dratini's daily activities."

After hearing what Qianye said, Nancy immediately understood what he meant - the small missing area was most likely the current habitat of the mini dragon!

"Well... I don't plan on catching that Dratini, but wouldn't it be fun to turn this into a puzzle adventure? Besides, Dratini generally have very high requirements for their habitats, so maybe we can see some beautiful natural scenery."

After hearing what Qianye said, Nancy was immediately intrigued, and the two of them started discussing where this hidden area might be.

"The hilly area can be ruled out first. There are no streams suitable for Dratini to live nearby. The grassland area is also unlikely..."

"Based on the direction of the stream, the source of the water should be behind this cave, but the map of the wilderness area doesn't record the area behind the cave, which means..."

The two looked at each other and could see that they had the same inference at the moment - that was most likely where the mini dragon lived!

……

Following the map, Qianye and Nazi soon arrived at the location of the cave they had marked earlier. A trickle of water flowed out from the cracks between the rocks.

The water originating from here flows into the river downstream, forming a stream that runs through the entire wild wilderness area, nourishing the growth of plants and a number of Pokémon. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the source of life.
