How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

Then, its fist once again condensed into ice dust, and it accelerated downward from high in the sky, and a freezing punch was about to hit the top of the dragon's head.

"Dragonite, dodge quickly!"

Feeling the chill that made his scalp hair stand on end, the yellow dragon's body shook, transforming into a high-speed phantom. A freezing fist dropped from the sky pierced through the phantom and slammed into the ground of the arena.

Like a small earthquake, the tiny fist created a massive crack. Cold light gushed outward from the cracks, and frost rapidly spread outward from the impact site. This single blow was enough to open the eyes of the audience, previously deceived by Marill's cute appearance.

"Do you still think that's a small fist?" Kona asked Satoshi and Misty with a hint of teasing in her eyes. In response, they opened their mouths wide enough to fit a pear, and shook their heads like rattles.

Even the onlookers were so shocked. As the victim of that blow, Dragonite trembled as he stepped on the frost that spread beneath his feet. If that punch had landed directly on him, it would have been the end of him!

Not daring to stay on the ground for a moment longer, it flapped its two green wings desperately, carrying Dragonite's body gradually into the sky.

Want to dominate the air? But this is also our chance...

"Mariluli, use the belly drum now!"

But the blue water mouse patted its belly hard, and its face revealed pain for a moment. In contrast, its aura reached an unprecedented peak.

The abdominal drum technique is to violently impact various acupuncture points in the body, causing a lot of damage to the body first, so that the force can reach the peak in the shortest time.

And with the characteristics of a strongman, and relying on belly drums to increase her attack power to the limit, to what extent will Marill's destructive power be improved?

"Mariluli, water jet!"

Water energy concentrated in the small ball at its tail, using the high-pressure water stream as propulsion, launching Marillion into the sky. The incoming headbutt was so fast that Dragonite couldn't react at all, and in the blink of an eye, its enormous belly sank.

"Awooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" A miserable cry sounded in the sky. Although the dragon attribute can resist the water jet, Marillil's stats have been strengthened to the level of being able to "send bricks flying with great strength."

And so, exhausted by the pain, Dragonite's wings fluttered and it plummeted headfirst toward the ground. Mariluri followed closely behind, her eyes gleaming and her fists radiating cold energy.

Unfortunately, the "Dragon Slayer" probably won't be able to realize the fateful moment, because a red light snatched the opponent away before its fist hit Dragonite, and the freezing fist missed again.

After confirming that Dragonite had been retracted into the ball, the examiner wiped the sweat from his forehead. It had been a close call. If Marill had landed that punch, the league might have lost a nearly divine Pokémon they'd painstakingly cultivated.

Chapter 132 Kona’s “Reward”

"This is the qualification badge for passing the League Certification Exam. With it, you can challenge the Quartz Tournament without having to collect all eight gym badges."

On the examiner's broad palm lay a heptagonal red crystal with a "P" emblem representing the Pokémon League painted in the center.

Although the ranking still needs to wait until all the candidates' results are released before considering it, but with Qianye's performance just now, passing the exam is a sure thing, and there is no problem in issuing the qualification badges first.

"Mary~" After winning a beautiful battle, Marilulli did not rush back into the ball, but sat on Qianye's shoulder, with happy crescents in her eyes, and rubbed the other's cheek with her smooth blue body.

"It seems this kid really likes you. Although Pokémon trained by the League will strictly follow the instructions of their assigned trainers, they rarely show affection towards them."

The examiner handed the qualification badge to the young man and spoke with a chuckle while his eyes stayed on Marilulli.

"Well, I have to hurry to test the next candidate now, so I'll excuse me from staying with you."

Watching the tall man walk back into the arena, Qianye hadn't turned back to the viewing area when his companions' voices rang out behind him:

"Qianye, congratulations on getting the qualification badge!" Xiaoxia's congratulations came in a refreshing and energetic girl's voice.

"We watched the whole game, you played really well." The eyes that couldn't be opened on the brown face revealed a hint of admiration, and Xiaogang's tone was full of undisguised appreciation.

Turning around, Qianye couldn't help but smile as he faced a group of friends who had come specially to congratulate him.

He walked up slowly and patted the red-hatted boy on the shoulder. "Xiaozhi, it's your game from now on. Do your best."

Perhaps motivated by the previous battle, Xiaozhi immediately responded with a high-pitched voice after hearing Qianye's encouragement: "Of course! Wait and see me win the practical test beautifully!"

However, Misty, who was standing beside him, immediately poured cold water on the confident red-capped boy. "But the practical test for the qualification exam uses random Pokémon. With your level of knowledge, Xiaozhi, I'm afraid that even if you release a Pokémon, you won't know what moves it can use, right?"

"What did you say!" Xiaozhi, whose sore spot was suddenly hit, immediately widened his eyes, turned around and started a heated argument with Xiaoxia.

"It's started again..." Seeing the two of them quarreling like children as if no one was around, Xiaogang slapped himself in the face helplessly.

Every time Qianye encountered Xiaozhi and the others before, their encounters were extremely brief. Therefore, this was the first time he saw them arguing. Just as he was thinking about whether to step forward to mediate, he saw Xiaogang's face, which looked like he was already used to it. He couldn't help but ask:

"Are they like this often?"

"Maybe it's because we are not compatible. Anyway, even the smallest thing can lead to an argument like this. Basically, we have an argument every day, so don't worry..." Xiaogang answered, holding his forehead.

Are they incompatible? Qianye remembered that these two had been traveling together for at least a few months. If there really was a major personality clash, one of them would have been unable to stand it and left the team long ago.

Xiaozhi and he have known each other for so long since childhood, and they know each other very well. Given that guy's rough personality, even if he had a big fight with others, he probably wouldn't take it to heart after some time.

But Misty is clearly different. As the youngest sister in the family, she ran away from home to pursue her dreams. This shows that she is a girl with strong decisiveness and action. If she really hated Xiaozhi, she would definitely leave the team without hesitation.

But she has been able to follow Xiaozhi until now despite their frequent quarrels...

Qianye suddenly understood something, and the corners of his mouth curled up subtly. It seemed that when he returned to Pallet Town, he would be able to congratulate Aunt Hanako.

Xiaozhi, still arguing with Xiaoxia, suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end. The words that had been about to burst out of his mouth were stuck in his throat. He looked around blankly, wondering why he just felt like he was being stabbed in the back.

As for the source of this feeling, a certain black-haired boy also encountered his own "trouble"——

A slender arm passed through Qianye's neck and wrapped around his shoulders. The red-haired lady with glasses bent her body slightly, and her fragrant breath sprayed on the boy's cheek, causing a tingling sensation.

"Brother Qianye, you did it. Then, as I said before, I will fulfill my promise and give you a special reward~"

Qianye turned his neck stiffly, looked into the pretty face so close to him, and responded in an unnatural tone:

"Reward? Doesn't that only apply to first place? Sister Kona, all the students haven't finished their exams yet, and the scores haven't been calculated yet..."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. With Qianye's performance just now, he's already number one in my sister's heart!"

Can it still be like this?!

"Well, it's not convenient to give you a reward here. Let's go outside the examination room with my sister first."

"Is it inconvenient? Do I have to go outside the examination room specially?" Xiaogang, whose ears caught the key information, immediately became alert and looked at Qianye with an incredulous look.

What kind of reward needed to be given out of sight, only when the two of them were alone? Isn't the answer obvious?

It was surprising that a woman like the Queen of Kona could take the initiative to make such an invitation. Moreover, Nancy was right next to them and must have heard everything, but she didn't have any objection at all. What kind of level is this... No, maybe I can also worship Qianye as my teacher and learn how to please the older sisters.

Qianye felt his scalp tingling from the burning gaze beneath those two slits, and the white hand on his shoulder began to quietly exert force, pulling the boy towards the exit of the examination room.

"Come back soon after you're done." The telepathic channel carried Natsu's inner voice, and Qianye subconsciously looked up at her. However, the girl simply waved gently, calmly watching as Kona pulled her out of the examination room.

……

"Sister Kona, you came all the way out here, what on earth do you want me to see?"

Until there was no one around except him and Sister Kona, Qianye, who had not resisted the whole time and let the other party pull him around, finally asked.

He didn't think about it in a wrong way. Although Sister Kona's words were very ambiguous, she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto Alliance after all. She would definitely not really do such an indescribable behavior in public. Saying that was nothing more than teasing and mocking those close to her.

Hearing this, Kona showed a mysterious smile on her face. She picked up the Poké Ball she had taken from Qianye, pressed the button, and put Marillil, who had been following the boy closely and sitting on his shoulders with her feet shaking, back into the ball.

"The next part is not suitable for the little ones to see. Brother Qianye, please close your eyes now. I will give you a big surprise soon!"

This feels a little strange. I don't really have to be here...

Qianye couldn't help but start to doubt whether his previous judgment was correct. It was not until Kona urged him again that he closed his eyes helplessly.

In the darkness, the two arms hanging by his sides were grabbed by the wrists and pulled forward. Just as Qianye was feeling extremely nervous, a smooth object with a spherical bottom was suddenly placed on his palms.

"You can open your eyes now." The mature voice of the queen sounded in his ears. As his sight slowly opened, the boy was surprised to find that there was suddenly an egg in his hand that was more light black in color.

"I was just kidding when I said I'd wait until you got first place to give you the reward. Actually, I asked someone to bring this thing to you after we arrived at the Alliance headquarters."

"This egg is..." He stroked the hard, light black shell with both hands. Near the center, there were three narrow, red, leaf-like patterns. With Qianye's knowledge of Pokémon, he quickly determined what Pokémon's egg this was.

"This should be... the egg of the Chengdu region's dual-type Ice and Dark hook Pokémon, Nianla?"

"Bingo~" Kona adjusted his glasses with a smile, confirming Qianye's inference. "Looking at the composition of your Pokémon team, Qianye, you probably like Dark-attribute Pokémon, right? That's why I deliberately contacted friends in Chengdu to get this little guy..."

"How is it? Is Qianye satisfied with this gift?"

I prefer evil-attribute Pokémon? Qianye himself has never had such an idea.

But now think about it carefully, Kuroko, Umbreon, and Kodora, whose attributes have changed due to Miracle Evolution, the Dark-type Pokémon now make up half of the team. From this perspective, Kona's reasoning makes sense.

As for whether the boy is satisfied with the Pokémon, the answer is obvious:

"How could I be dissatisfied? Rather, this gift is simply too valuable."

Maybe it can't be compared with quasi-god cubs like Dratini in terms of rarity, but Dino is definitely not a Pokémon that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

The nyala tribe lives in extremely cold regions, a harsh place that humans cannot easily enter. The nyala are also very good at hiding themselves, making it difficult for ordinary trainers to track them even if they are looking for them. Because of this, a nyala egg is also extremely valuable in the market.

Furthermore, the potential of the Xila race is quite impressive. Its evolved form, the Maxila, is a high-speed ice-attribute killer, light as the wind and swift as lightning. Its sharp claws can cut through hard steel with ease.

You know, Ice holds a unique position among all Pokémon. Its attack range is vast, and it can even counter Dragon-type Pokémon, a common species with great potential. In contrast, its defensive capabilities can only be described as pathetic.

The only thing it can resist is the same ice attribute as itself. On this basis, it also has four weaknesses: fire, fighting, rock, and steel.

Despite having such strong offensive and weak defensive attributes, it produces a large number of Pokémon that are slow, have high defense, and once they encounter attributes that restrain them, they are basically like sitting ducks.

But Magma is completely different from them. Its racial characteristics of high speed and high attack perfectly match the advantages of the ice attribute. Even relying on the dodge ability brought by its flexibility, Magma can withstand the enemy's attacks longer than those ice Pokémon whose defense is several times higher than it.

"Compared to the trouble you helped the Alliance solve, this little gift is nothing. Not only me, but Dodo... and the other two kings also hope to give something as a thank you gift."

"Besides, a gift is a gift. Putting aside my title as the King of Pokémon, I am also a trainer who values ​​the bond between me and my Pokémon. If he doesn't have the ability to take good care of Ula, there's no way I'll hand this child over to him."

As she said this, Kona stretched out her delicate hand and gently stroked the nianla egg that she handed to Qianye. The gentle look behind her flat-framed glasses was like that of a mother who was seeing her daughter off to get married.

"Qianye, you are an excellent trainer. Today's League test has made me even more convinced of this. I believe you can take good care of this child. I think it is the best outcome for Ula to become your Pokémon."

After spending some time together, apart from anything else, Qianye's Pokémon's attitude towards their trainers is enough to explain everything.

The young man retracted his arms, hugging them inward, keeping the egg close to his chest. A slight chill shone through the eggshell, perhaps due to the ice element of the egg. Through that cold barrier, he could sense the throbbing of a life gradually taking shape.

"Well, it's almost time for us to head back. Hopefully, we can still make it in time for the assessment of your reckless friend."

As she spoke, Kona's soft palm caressed Qianye's black hair. She particularly liked the way he focused on Pokémon. The gentleness he exuded, unintentionally, was like a deadly, colorless, and odorless poison. By the time you noticed it, you were already deeply drawn to it.

Having completed the handover of the Nian Ladan, the two prepared to return to the examination room. However, when they turned around, they saw a thick black fog rising from the examination room, followed by bursts of explosions.

"How could the certification exam cause such a big commotion? Did both sides draw incredible Pokémon?" Kona looked at the rising black smoke with a little confusion, feeling that the momentum was almost as loud as the battle when Qianye commanded Marillion to fight Dragonite.

"Yeah! How could I forget about those three!?" Qianye seemed to remember something at this moment, his face changed and he rushed towards the examination room holding Xianladan.

Chapter 133 Emergency Call

"Since you asked the question sincerely."

"Then we will mercifully tell you."

"To prevent the world from being destroyed."

"To protect world peace."

"Magnemite, shock." Seeing the three members of Team Rocket reciting their immature opening remarks on the court, and the audience and examiners who were staring at them in a daze as if time had stopped, Qianye didn't hesitate and directly took out the ball and released Magnemite.

Magnemite blinked its dull eye, and as its eye lit up, golden arcs of electricity gathered in front of it, and then, an electric shock hit the two people and the cat hard.

"The evil that permeates ~love and truth~"

"A cute and charming villain."

Musashi, Kojiro, and the cat that could speak human language were all twitching all over and their hair stood on end in a golden light. Although their voices were in an electric tone, they still insisted on finishing their opening remarks.

"He wasn't knocked unconscious by the electric shock?" Qian Ye felt very strange. In order to avoid any loss of life, he chose to let Magnemite release a smaller electric shock instead of 100,000 volts. But with the lethality of Magnemite, an average adult would faint from one electric shock.

"The three of them are like this. Although they are not very smart, they are all in good physical condition. This is exactly the same as Xiaozhi." Seeing Qianye's confusion, Xiaoxia, who had recovered from the sudden daze of Team Rocket, explained to him.

"Yeah, yeah...wait a minute, Misty, who are you saying isn't smart?!" Xiaozhi just agreed with the orange-haired girl for a few words before he realized that something seemed to be wrong. He turned around angrily and questioned her.

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, the voices of the Team Rocket trio from the front drowned them out.

"You little bastards, you actually attacked us while we were reciting the opening remarks! My beautiful hair..." Musashi frantically touched his black hair that was curled up by the electric shock, and his angry eyes seemed to be spewing flames.

"Yes, yes, not only that, but they ignored us and started quarreling. It's so rude!" Kojiro, with a charcoal-colored face, exhaled a puff of black smoke and echoed Musashi.

In contrast to the two people who were protesting fiercely, Meow Meow's sight caught the figure of a black-haired boy in the crowd, and his whiskers immediately stood up. "Are you two crazy, meow?! That terrifying evil ghost is standing right there, why don't you run away quickly, meow!"

After being reminded by Meow Meow, Kojiro and Musashi also noticed Qianye who was looking at them calmly. The shadow of the past emerged in their hearts. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but shudder.

"No, it's okay... Things are different now. We still have the three Poké Balls we got in the exam. We must take this opportunity to grab all the other Poké Balls!"

The desire for success eventually overcame his fear. With slightly trembling hands, Kojiro took out the three Poké Balls and released the Pokémon inside one by one.
