How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

"Is it okay?" Upon hearing this, Qianye's face was visibly moved. No matter what kind of trainer he is, he has to consider the growth and future of his Pokémon after all, not to mention that it is free.

"Of course, please come with me."

Even though he has the reputation of being an evil ghost, he is ultimately just a child with little experience. He probably cannot beat me, so it is very easy to fool him.

When Dr. Kitajima thought that the genius trainer who had once caused high-ranking officials to fall was now being led by him, he couldn't help but feel proud, and his pace gradually quickened.

In just a short while, Dr. Kitajima brought Qianye and the others to the "Pokémon Examination Room". In the center of the room, a sophisticated white instrument immediately attracted Qianye and the others' attention.

"This is a device for performing a comprehensive checkup on Pokémon. It's very easy to use. You don't even need to release the Pokémon. Just place the Poké Balls in these grooves."

Dr. Kitajima walked to the front of the instrument and directly opened a cover in the center. Under the cover were hemispherical grooves, which obviously meant for placing the Poké Ball on it.

"Alright Mr. Qianye, now please hand me your Poké Ball."

As he spoke, Dr. Kitajima spread out his palms. With the previous preparation, the young man had no doubts at all. He directly took out six Poké Balls from his waist pocket and handed them all to him.

Very good, now the plan has entered the final stage, just be patient and don't reveal any flaws...

He took the Poké Balls and placed them all in the grooves, closing the lid to conceal them. At the same time, he pressed the switch on the device. Out of sight, a flashing red light enveloped all the Poké Balls, instantly transporting them to their designated location.

Seeing that the final step had been completed, Dr. Kitajima felt completely relaxed and stole glances at the two people's reactions out of the corner of his eyes.

Whether it was the owners of those Pokémon, the "evil spirits" with an extremely high danger level in the organization's archives, or his female companion, the long-haired girl who had been staring at him with a slightly uncomfortable look until just now, they were all now concentrating their gaze on the tall device.

These two idiots actually mistook it for a Pokémon scanner. But thanks to your stupidity, I was able to achieve this rare feat!

"Because there are many indicators to check, it may take a while. I hope Mr. Qianye will be patient..."

"Teacher!" As the shout rang out, the Mediterranean apprentice researcher stepped onto the "stage" at the right time. He pretended to be anxious, ran up to Dr. Kitajima and said:

"Instructor, there are some issues with the data from the experiment our group was responsible for. We need you to come over and help check it out right now!"

"Is that really the case?" Dr. Kitajima pretended to be surprised, then looked at the young man with a hint of apology. "As you can see, I have to be away for a while. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

"It's okay. After all, my job is the most important." Qianye didn't seem to care, as if he didn't know that his Poké Ball had been moved far away at this moment.

"It will take some time to complete the inspection. This device is a very delicate instrument, and an untrained eye operating it could easily cause a malfunction... To prevent any accidents, please do not touch it while I'm here, and it's best not to let anyone else near it."

After a few pretentious instructions, Dr. Kitajima turned and walked out the door with his apprentice. Everything was going exactly as planned. They only needed to walk out that door. Money, power...a bright future filled with all these was within reach.

"Wait a minute, Dr. Kitajima!"

The young man's shout froze the two undercover researchers in their tracks. Dr. Kitajima turned around, forcing a smile and about to ask if there was anything else, only to see the young man, whom he had just warned not to touch the instrument, lift the cover.

As a result, the fact that all the Poké Balls in the grooves had disappeared was exposed to everyone. Two pairs of eyes instantly stopped on someone's smooth head. "Dr. Kitajima, why did all my Poké Balls disappear all of a sudden?"

"This... This is to conduct the most detailed safety check on your Pokémon, so they need to be transported into the device before they can be scanned."

Cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead. Dr. Kitajima could only say whatever came to his mind, but the boy clearly didn't buy this explanation:

"But I don't see any dedicated testing area inside this device. Could it be that this isn't a Pokémon detector at all, but a Pokémon transporter?"

It was not until they heard this strange tone and subconsciously raised their heads to see the mockery in Qianye's eyes that Dr. Kitajima and his apprentice researcher realized that the previous plan had gone so smoothly, but it was all a deliberate show put on by the young man for them.

But they shouldn't have done anything unnecessary, so when were they discovered?

Qianye gave the answer to this question in his heart - of course, he had sensed something was wrong from the very beginning!

All the other researchers in the Red Lotus Research Institute had no special reaction when they saw him and Naz. At most, they were distracted for a moment and then continued to focus on their work as if they didn't exist.

However, Dr. Kitajima's behavior was completely different. As a researcher, he was too enthusiastic towards his group of people who just happened to visit here, even to the point of flattery.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that it is simply due to the other party's personality, but if it is just simple snobbery, why did he not take any action when Kona and Adu, whose fame and power have reached the pinnacle of Kanto, were still there, but instead chose to find himself, who is at most a little famous in the industry, alone after these two more valuable people left?

Qianye had always remembered what Xia Bo had said, that there might still be remnants of Team Rocket in the research institute. When he encountered such an abnormal situation, he immediately became alert, cooperating with the other party's actions while waiting for him to reveal his true identity.

"Ouch~" accompanied by a low whistle, an agile black figure rushed out from the side and blocked the door of the laboratory, completely blocking the only escape route for the two undercover agents of Team Rocket.

Dr. Kitajima recognized the identity of this Pokémon. It was one of Trainer Qianye's trump cards according to the intelligence, the evil-type Pokémon Wolfhound.

"But why... those six Poké Balls, shouldn't I have teleported them all away?"

"Since they already doubt your identity, how could you possibly hand over Poké Balls that actually contained Pokémon? To tell you the truth, those six Poké Balls are actually all empty."

Qianye replied calmly, stating that this was the most crucial step in confirming the true identity of the so-called "Professor Kitajima." While handing over the blank Poké Ball, he asked Nancy to attach her telekinesis to it through telepathic communication, which was invisible to outsiders.

While watching Dr. Kitajima press the switch of the instrument, Nancy almost simultaneously sent the information through telepathy that "all the Poké Balls have been teleported away."

The boy's conjecture was so completely confirmed that when he saw the Mediterranean researchers, who were obviously in the same group, rushing in to justify Dr. Kitajima's evacuation, he almost couldn't suppress the arc of his mouth.

Wow, I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain?

Chapter 111: Doesn't he know I know Kung Fu? Is he usually so brave?

The escape route has been blocked by the big wolfhound, and the black-haired boy in front is getting closer with a Poké Ball. The two undercover agents of Team Rocket have obviously reached a dead end.

"Mentor, what should we do now?" The Mediterranean apprentice was sweating all over his face. He could only put all his hopes on Dr. Kitajima and wait for his mentor to come up with a new strategy.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only fight to the death!" Professor Kitajima's face was gloomy, and he also took out his Poké Ball, "Go, Gas, use Smoke Screen!"

In the red light, two gas balls, one large and one small, full of holes, were connected in a deformed structure. Double-bomb gas floated quietly in the air, and dirty fog spewed out from multiple pits, gradually spreading outward.

"In that case, I'll come too! Come out, Naughty Thunderbolt!" The Mediterranean apprentice researcher, also aroused, released his Pokémon.

But it's just a name to scare people. The bond between me and my mentor will never be defeated! Don't you think so? Mentor... Where is the mentor?

When the smoke around him cleared, he was ready for battle and looked to his side, only to find that Dr. Kitajima and his double-bomb gas were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, his beloved "mentor" had already run a long distance away. From the very beginning, Dr. Kitajima had no real intention of fighting Qianye to the death. He just used the cover of the smoke screen to run away from the gate guarded by the big wolfhound.

Not to mention whether the two of them could defeat the young trainer who had a record of unparalleled fighting at the Rocket Team base, even if they fought for a little longer, they would still be in trouble when the people in the research institute heard the noise and rushed over.

As for telling his apprentice that he was going to take action... nonsense. If he didn't use this excuse to trick him into staying and delaying the other side, how would he have enough time to escape smoothly?

Seeing that only the apprentice researcher with a sullen face was left there, Qianye's face was unusually calm, as if he was not worried at all about the other Rocket Team undercover who had been let go.

"Nazi, is the telekinesis still tracking?"

The surface of the girl's eyes was flowing with a faint green light. After hearing Qianye's words, she nodded slightly.

The plan was set up from the beginning, so how could it be so easy to let the other party escape? The reason why Dr. Kitajima was able to leave was just that Qianye wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could lure out a few more undercover agents from Team Rocket.

"You should follow him first. Don't do anything until he runs too far or plans to cause any damage... Just let me handle this alone."

After hearing what he said, Nancy nodded lightly, then teleported and disappeared into the air, turning her attention back to the other Rocket Team undercover on the field. That person seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock of being abandoned.

"So, do you still want to fight? Given the current situation, it would be easier for you to just surrender."

If possible, Qianye still wanted to avoid taking action as much as possible. The reason was the same as before with Kona and Adu. If he commanded Pokémon to fight in the research institute, it would likely cause damage to the instruments or research data here.

"That's not necessarily true." The undercover agent of Team Rocket, who had been left behind, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Naughty bomb, big explosion..."

Before he could utter the complete order, the big wolfhound at the door turned into a black flash, and with a sudden attack, it knocked the naughty bomb in the air down to the ground. Before it could successfully detonate, circles began to appear on its face that looked like a red and white ball.

"What?" Looking at his Pokémon that was killed in an instant, the Mediterranean researcher's eyes were full of disbelief, so much so that he didn't notice the sound of quick footsteps coming from behind him.

It wasn't until he felt a gust of wind behind him that he finally realized what was happening and turned his head, only to be met with a heavy punch in the face. Several teeth were shattered by the immense force and fell to the ground along with blood.

His body fell down heavily, his eyes closed, and with Qianye's help, he successfully fell into a baby-like snoring sleep.

Of course, it's better not to fight if you can, but if you have to, then of course you have to end the fight as quickly as possible...

"Whoo~"

Qianye shook off the blood dripping from his fist. This was the first time he had personally taken action since he accepted that he had Pokémon blood in his body.

I had no idea about my physical strength before, but now I'm trying it out. Judging from the sleeping quality of the Rocket player under my feet, I can clearly feel the difference.

Then again, since I have the blood of Pokémon, I should be able to learn Pokémon's moves... In that case, maybe one day when I don't have Pokémon that can fight, I can take the field myself?

Thinking of this, his expression turned a bit strange. This idea seemed feasible. If I could learn some moves, even if I couldn't fight Pokémon head-on, at least I'd have some protection against wild, unregulated battles.

……

Dr. Kitajima ran without daring to stop, not even caring about the strange looks from his former colleagues. He ran away from the research institute and down the Red Lotus Volcano, and his legs were sore that he stopped in a half-squat, gasping for breath.

"Ha~ha~" At this rate... I guess I won't be able to catch up for a while."

Holding onto a street pole, Dr. Kitajima shook his head, trying to maintain a clear mind. However, now was not the time to relax. To ensure safety, he had to at least board the ferry at the port and leave Honglian Island first!

Thinking this way, he ignored the numbness in his feet and stood up to continue running towards the sunset. If he remembered correctly, there was one last boat for the day, and it would depart in less than an hour. He should still have time to rush over now.

Perhaps because it was already dusk, the number of people on the street had gradually thinned out. On the horizon stained by the sunset glow, a dark figure that appeared to be a young girl could be vaguely seen.

"Qianye said that you can't go to the dock."

With Nancy's telekinesis capture range, covering the entire Red Lotus Island is not a big problem, but if she wants to expand further and follow the ship all the way to other places, it would be a bit difficult.

Fortunately, there aren't many people here, so there's no need to worry about accidentally hurting innocent people. If we wait until the other party really runs to the dock, it will be difficult to take action with so many people around.

Under the light of the setting sun, the Poké Ball in Nancy's hand reflected a dazzling light. At this moment, Dr. Kitajima also saw the other person clearly and recognized that she was the female companion of the "Abominable" trainer.

Damn it, how did she catch up to me?!

Should I take action? This thought flashed through his smooth mind, but he quickly rejected it. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Anyone who could travel with such a genius trainer was definitely not a simple character.

He was a Pokémon researcher, not a professional Pokémon trainer, so it was better for him not to take the risk.

"Ahem... Please don't do anything, I surrender! I surrender!"

He emptied all the Poké Balls from his pocket and raised both hands high. Having already come this far, Dr. Kitajima certainly wasn't going to give up; he was just gambling on a possibility.

When Nancy saw that the other party chose to surrender directly, she tilted her head, but without thinking much, she put away the Poké Ball and walked forward slowly.

Seeing the girl getting closer and closer to him, she looked completely defenseless, with two eyes shining brightly under her bald head.

"Now!" Seeing that the distance was almost right, Dr. Kitajima immediately pounced on Nancy.

The young man was far too naive, approaching him without taking any precautions. He might not be a match for a Pokémon, but wouldn't it be easy to subdue a defenseless little girl in close combat?

It was just right that he had captured this girl who seemed very important to the "evil ghost". If the alliance members came after him later, he would have a hostage of sufficient weight to use as a bargaining chip.

However, when Dr. Kitajima confidently rushed forward, he was greeted by a green light flashing from the girl's eyes.

Nancy leaned down and picked up a doll in a white coat on the ground. She looked at the confident expression on the doll's face, and doubts were clearly in her eyes.

Doesn't he know that I have Kung Fu (superpowers)? Is he usually this brave?

Chapter 112: Showdown on the Lava

"So, why do you have time to stay here right now, Kona-san? We just caught two undercover agents from Team Rocket. Shouldn't we be interrogating them now?"

In a dessert shop in Honglian Town, Qianye and Nazhi sat at a table outside the shop. There were three ice creams of different flavors on the table, but these were not what they ordered.

The boy's expression was slightly subtle as he stared at the Ice King Kona, who sat across from him. After he and Nancy had captured two Team Rocket undercover agents planted in the Red Lotus Research Institute, Adu's face suddenly turned darker than a cauldron upon learning of this. He had just run out of the laboratory and dragged the two men into the interrogation room.

In comparison, the other superstar, Kona, was much more relaxed. He simply said that he would treat the two great contributors to a meal and brought them here.

"Interrogating prisoners isn't the sole job of the Four Heavenly Kings. That guy, Dodo, has also taken on the role of Chief Investigator, and he's currently busy trying to pry clues out of those two guys about possible undercover agents."

"As for me... I'm doing the work of the Four Heavenly Kings. I'm rewarding the heroes who not only delivered important information to the Alliance, but also helped remove two poisonous stings from the Alliance~"

As he spoke, Kona scooped a spoonful of ice cream from his own bowl. The cool and sweet sensation made his eyes light up beneath his flat-framed glasses.

"This one has a very good flavor, Brother Qianye, you should try it too." Kona scooped another spoonful from the cup and brought it to Qianye's mouth with a smile on his face.

"Ah~"

Is this some kind of feeding play?! Qianye complained in his heart, but after all, he couldn't refuse the kindness. He opened his mouth and was handed the ice cream with red jam by Kona.

"Is this... strawberry flavored?"
