How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

He heard Nazhi's unclear mumbling. The strange content made Qianye look around hurriedly. Fortunately, the girl's voice was very low and none of the diners around noticed their table.

In order to prevent the girl from saying anything more explosive in her sleep, the boy lowered his head and blew air into her beautiful cochlea.

"Um...Qianye." Her long eyelashes trembled, and Nancy's red eyes were half opened, looking a little sleepy.

He pulled his arm away from Qianye's, raised it, and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Qianye, is the meal served yet?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon... Nazzi, don't sleep yet, I have a question to ask you." Seeing that the girl was about to close her eyes with her cheek against his again, Qianye quickly changed the subject.

"Hmm..." Naz nodded gently, not knowing whether this was a sign of agreement or a sign of falling asleep again.

"Nazhi, after waking up today, did you feel any changes in your telekinesis?"

"Come to think of it...it seems like the feeling has indeed increased a lot." After hearing Qianye's question, the girl checked her own spiritual world. After just a simple scan, her consciousness immediately became clear.

She felt that the strength of her telekinesis had risen to a higher level out of thin air. Even with her talent, such a huge leap could not be explained by a short period of meditation.

"Qianye, what's going on?"

"I'd really like to know the answer, too. When I woke up today, I realized my control over my telekinesis had suddenly become much stronger. Nazzi, do you think it could be because of us..."

After being reminded by the boy, Nancy also thought about that aspect, and her face suddenly became red, "No, it shouldn't be..."

"Ding ding ding~ It's time for me to make my debut~"

A clear, silver bell-like loli voice rang out, a pink arc of light flashed, and a pair of delicate jade feet suddenly stepped on Qianye's shoulders.

"Menghuan?! How could you... I shouldn't have brought your ball out?" Qianye recognized the pink-haired loli who suddenly appeared. Although he was shocked, he suppressed his emotions and asked in a low voice.

What surprised him a little was that none of the diners around him paid any attention to this magic-like "performance", just as if they didn't notice the little girl on their shoulders at all.

"Xiaoye, you haven't forgotten what kind of existence I am, right? Creating an ordinary phantom clone is not a special skill of Jirachi-chan. Don't worry, this clone is invisible to people other than you and Natsuki without my permission."

"So why did you come out this time..." Before Qianye could even ask, another pleasant little girl's voice interrupted him:

"Damn it, sneaking away is prohibited!" The other shoulder was also stepped on by little feet, this time it was Jirachi with short golden hair.

"Xiaoye, you don't have to listen to Menghuan-chan. I, I also know the reason why your telekinesis has changed!"

"Ah?" He turned his head and looked at Nini. They both sat up straight, waiting for Teacher Jirachi's explanation.

"Wow...J-To put it simply, I discovered this by accident. When both of you are highly excited at the same time, your telekinesis will resonate. In this highly coordinated state, you can guide each other to strengthen their telekinesis."

With a small, rosy face like an apple, Jirachi explained the reason for the change in their telekinesis in a disjointed manner. After spending some time reviewing what he had said, Qianye suddenly understood and clenched his fist into the palm of his other hand.

"I know this. Isn't it just dual cultivation?"

I always feel that this statement is problematic, but for a moment I don’t know how to refute it.

"Hmm, that's it anyway. Mom is awesome, right~" Jirachi said with both hands on her soft loli waist, and at the same time, she did not forget to wink at Menghuan beside her to declare her sovereignty.

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about how you, Jirachi, knew that Nancy and I had experienced... that kind of thing?"

"Eh?" Qianye asked a sharp question with narrowed eyes. The blonde loli panicked for a moment and subconsciously looked towards Menghuan's position, only to see the pink-haired loli sitting down with an innocent look on her face and shaking her little feet.

"Meng Meng doesn't know anything, meow~ Meng Meng just came out to play, and she never said anything about the reason for Xiaoye's telekinesis changes~"

"Mew! You tricked me!" Jirachi, realizing that she had been tricked, puffed up her mouth in anger and pounced over to catch Mew.

But the pink-haired loli was one step faster and flew into the sky with laughter. The two of them chased and played in the sky above the luxurious restaurant.

Never mind, since no one can see or touch them, let them play by themselves for now. Turning around helplessly, he found that Nancy had already turned into a "steam princess".

So, I saw it all… She covered her face with her hands, a white mist swirling above her head. She couldn't blame her Alakazam for not completing the task assigned to her. After all, asking an ordinary Psychic-type Pokémon to sense a Legendary Pokémon with the same expertise was a bit too much.

"Sir, Miss... This is the food you ordered. Please enjoy it."

Just then, the waiter came up with wooden trays and placed plates of fragrant food on the table.

"Nazi, come..."

A warm hand supported her cheek, and Nazhi subconsciously moved her hands away from her face. She saw Qianye use his free hand to pick up a piece of roasted meat with a fork, put it to his mouth, blew on it a few times, and then handed it to her.

"No matter how delicious it is, please eat slowly. Be careful of the heat."

Watching the girl sticking her head out without hesitation to bite off the piece of meat, her eyes narrowed into slits in happiness while chewing, Qianye chuckled and stroked her soft long hair, while speaking as a reminder.

The barbecue tasted really good, but for Naz, being fed by the man in front of her and the tenderness that belonged only to her at this moment was the most delicious thing.

However, feelings are a two-way street after all. The girl stole a glance at Qianye's face and was about to pick up a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of fresh milk soup from the large milk can in the bowl and feed it to him, when a refreshing voice suddenly sounded from behind her:

"Hey, you two look very energetic! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Daigo... Daigo!" Hearing the familiar male voice, Qianye immediately stood up from his seat and shook hands with the silver-haired handsome man.

"Sorry, sorry, I had some things to deal with and couldn't come here right away, but it seems I've made it now." Daigo said half-jokingly as he looked at the dining table full of hot food.

"It's really a coincidence. Come on, sit down and talk."

Qianye enthusiastically invited this wealthy... no, rather, generous friend to sit down across from him. Daigo naturally didn't refuse; he had come for the young man, but a cold, red gaze from the other man's side somewhat distracted him.

That cold and arrogant look might make it difficult to get along with him, but he's clearly a formidable trainer, worthy of being Qianye's companion...

With this thought in mind, Daigo turned to look at Qianye: "After we separated, I returned to Hoenn and haven't heard any news about you since. It was only after meeting you last night and looking through the information provided by the Kanto Alliance that I realized you've experienced so many wonderful things in such a short time."

"It's just a coincidence that we ran into each other. To be honest, I don't think it's lucky to always encounter such things." Qian Ye showed a bitter smile on his face. God knows why he always ran into accidents or cases when he went out.

"Hahaha, that's true. If I were to encounter this kind of trouble every day in Hoenn, I wouldn't have much free time to dig stones."

"By the way, Qianye, I heard... your Kokodora has undergone a completely new evolution that has never been seen before. Although it may be a bit presumptuous, this is one of the few requests I have - that black form, can you let me see it?"

When he said this, the silver-haired handsome man even leaned forward, and Qianye even saw a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

By the way, I've heard that Daigo, the former champion of the Hoenn region, is an absolute ore fan. In addition to his love for mining by himself, most of his team members are mineral-type Pokémon.

In this light, it seems normal to be interested in the special evolution of one's own Kodora?

Chapter 101 I'm waiting for you at the top of the world

Qianye didn't refuse Daigo's request. Just wanting to see Kodora wasn't an unreasonable request after all. Moreover, he had already received many favors from her before, so it was only right for him to agree.

So after enjoying a sumptuous meal, under the repeated urging of the impatient Daigo, Qianye took the other party to his and Natsu's room.

Taking into account the needs of Pokémon Trainers, high-end hotels often reserve a portion of their presidential suites, transforming them into small, open-air training grounds for Pokémon practice and entertainment. Qianye, Nancy, and their Pokémon were currently engaged in their own activities on this platform.

Daigo quickly scanned the area and spotted the dark figure crouching in the corner. Rather, with its size standing out among all the other Pokémon present, it was hard not to notice it immediately.

Four extremely thick iron feet with armor reflecting black light stretched outward. Inside the heavy black helmet with sharp steel spikes, a pair of eyes were closed, as if taking a nap.

"Is this the special Kodora...? It's like a black, ominous star. When I first read the records, I was skeptical of this description, but when I saw it in person, I felt it was the most apt description."

Daigo himself has a lot of Aoskolotes, and even the one with the best qualifications, which is now the main force in his team, did not have such an exaggerated size when it was in the Kodora stage.

You know, I can't say anything else, but in terms of investment in training resources, the treatment his Pokémon received was top-notch in both quality and quantity. The total amount of high-quality steel consumed by the Boskodora in his team was enough to support a project of the scale of the cross-sea bridge leading to Guangming City.

From the archives I'd seen, Qianye's family wasn't considered wealthy. Even if the young man cared about his Pokémon, objective conditions wouldn't allow him to provide sufficient resources. The fact that that Kodora had grown to its current state was nothing short of a miracle...

Wait, a miracle?

"Qianye, it seems like you've had many dealings with the Evolution Association during those incidents?"

Hearing Daigo's sudden words, Qianye was speechless for a moment: "That's more than just a brief encounter!" He even suspected that, besides Team Rocket, the Evolution Association was probably the organization that hated him the most.

"I know you destroyed all their arrangements in the Kanto region, but what I want to ask is, how much do you know about this organization now?"

This question stumped the boy. In his impression, the Evolution Association had an extremely urgent need for Pokémon. Whether it was sending Pokémon hunters or trading with Team Rocket, the core goal was to collect as many Pokémon as possible.

This was all he knew about the Evolution Association. He had no idea about anything else, such as the purpose of capturing these Pokémon, where they were transported to, and what they were ultimately used for.

"When you were sabotaging their deal with Team Rocket, did you come into contact with a purple solution stored in a bottle?"

"Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression of it..." Qianye recalled that when they were in Kuye City, among the trade items they seized, there was something that was very consistent with what Daigo was describing now.

"But because the things inside looked so strange, I handed it directly to Miss Junsha without even touching it."

If it was true as Qianye said, then the fact that Kodora had grown to its current state had nothing to do with the "Miracle Virus." In a sense, this could be considered good news. After all, if the mutation in Kodora was caused by the Miracle Virus, then their assessment of the Evolution Association's risk level would have to be raised even higher.

Seeing that Daigo was lost in deep thought, Qianye did not disturb him for a moment. A moment later, the silver-haired young man came to his senses and showed an apologetic look on his face:

"Sorry, it was just a private conversation between friends, but I got distracted and thought about other things."

"No, no, I'm actually quite curious. Daigo, you specifically mentioned those strange purple solutions. Are they important?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain in detail, but since you're a participant in tomorrow's meeting, you should know the details. I'll send you the information later. For now, just know that this is a tool named 'Miracle Virus'... Qianye, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm...ah? Nothing, I was just wondering what kind of effect this little thing has to deserve such a name, haha." He laughed it off, and when he saw that Daigo seemed to believe it and didn't ask any further questions, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the question he was thinking about wasn't that simple. The "Miracle Virus," highly regarded by the Pokémon League, and the "Miracle Evolution" that had occurred in his own Pokémon—were the two names so similar just a coincidence, or was it...

It’s a pity that Daigo is here now, so Qianye can’t call out Jirachi, otherwise he would be able to get more inside information by asking her.

While talking, the two of them were slowly approaching Kodora's position. When they were within a distance of about ten meters, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened, and a gaze like a drawn sword quickly swept over them.

Kodorako hadn't fallen into a deep sleep. The reason she stayed there to rest while her fellow Pokémon were training wasn't out of laziness, but because if she were to join in the training, the noise would be too loud, making the suspended platform unable to withstand her tossing and turning.

Since she had promised the young man to stay here and not go out, and since there was nothing else to do, she simply closed her eyes and waited for Qianye and the others to return. Although she appeared to be asleep, her mind was still alert to her surroundings.

That's why she was able to wake up immediately after the two of them stepped into the safe area she had designated. However, after seeing the face of the person who came, she suddenly relaxed and retracted the spikes on her body that were in an attacking posture.

"It trusts you very much." As the former champion of the Hoenn League, Daigo naturally has a deep love and understanding for Pokémon. From Kodora's simple reaction, he can already feel the deep bond between the boy and Kodora.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the smooth black shell on the outside, but before Daigo could really touch it, Scarlet's gaze locked onto him. Kodara opened his huge mouth slightly, revealing sharp fangs, sending out a threatening signal.

Seeing that Kodora looked like it might attack at any moment, Qianye hurried forward, reached out and stroked its shell to calm it down.

However, it was not until the pair of aggressive eyes staring at Daigo's palm retracted that the black-armored beast retracted its teeth.

"Excuse me Daigo, as you can see, my Kodara doesn't like being touched by strangers."

"It doesn't matter. This isn't the first time I've met this kid. Those eyes are still so ambitious. They're so fresh in my memory."

Daigo really liked the look in Kodora's eyes. Experienced Pokémon trainers typically develop a unique aura of strength, and sensitive Pokémon can sense this aura. For example, when Daigo was out in the wild, no wild Pokémon dared to challenge him.

But Qianye's Kodora was different. Even on the day they first met, before their special evolution, still in Kodora form, there was no fear in those tiny eyes. All Daigo could see was the undisguised ambition beneath those sharp eyes.

There was no doubt that it recognized him! And precisely because it recognized him, it was so tense at this moment!

Daigo wasn't wrong. The moment he entered, Kodora recognized this guy, someone they'd met once before. After all, this guy's aura far surpassed any opponent he'd ever encountered before. Facing such a formidable opponent, Kodora's fighting spirit only grew even stronger! It burned even more intensely!

Because the stronger the enemy is, the closer you will be to the peak after defeating the enemy.

"Interesting, you have a very good trainer. I believe that your combination can go far in the end. But it's not that easy to beat me." Daigo lowered his body slightly so that his eyes could be level with Kodara's.

In response to Kodora's challenge, the silver-haired young man showed no so-called humility of a champion. For a Pokémon trainer at his level, one of the necessary qualifications is to firmly believe that he will definitely win in the end no matter what kind of opponent is standing in front of him.

But Kodora just gave this answer with a cold look - you are not my end, and there is no end on my road... I will trample you under my feet, and then step over you without looking back.

"Is that so? Then please maintain your current gaze. The Quartz Plateau is your first step. If you can't even get past that, you still have a long way to go before you can challenge me."

After saying this, Daigo turned his gaze towards Qianye, patted his shoulder and said:

"Qianye, I have high hopes for you and your Kodora. Perhaps one day you will stand in the same position as me and fight against me. So please continue to work hard for that day. I will be waiting for you at the top of the world!"

Chapter 102: Dragon King? Flying King!

"A miracle virus, a virus that can accelerate the growth and even evolution of Pokémon... It doesn't require excessive investment of resources, and it doesn't even leave any sequelae. Can this really be considered a virus?"

After Daigo left, Qianye began to read the information about the miracle virus left by the other party. The more he read, the more he felt an indescribable sense of unease.

It's not that he's uneasy about the effects of the miracle virus recorded on it, but that he's uneasy about getting closer to some truth that he has never known before.

"Qianye..." Noticing the boy's somewhat suppressed emotions, a trace of worry flashed in Nancy's eyes. Just as she was about to say something comforting, a bell-like voice sounded first.

"What question did Xiaoye want to ask by calling her mother over?" The loli in a white dress suddenly poked her head out from behind the boy. Her beautiful short golden hair was a little messy at the moment, as if someone had randomly grabbed it with their hands.

"Jirachi, have you ever heard of the Miracle Virus?"

"Eh?"

"It's a virus that, upon infection, changes a certain segment of a Pokémon's genes, causing it to grow at an unnatural rate."

Although he didn't hear the other party's answer, from the empty eyes on the little face that seemed to be caught in a brainstorm, Qianye probably understood that Jirachi was probably completely unaware of this thing.

"Since this is a genetic issue, why don't you ask me, Xiaoye?"

Menghuan, whose pink fur was equally messy, suddenly appeared at this time, dragging a long cat tail and circling in front of the boy's eyes, trying hard to attract his attention.
