How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

"Qian Ye, I might have a way..." Seeing the slightly pale face of the black-haired boy, although there was no obvious fluctuation on Nazhi's face, her heart was aching slightly.

When the other party heard hope and looked towards her, the girl quickly extended her delicate jade hand and grasped Qianye's palm. A green light flashed in her eyes, and she activated instant teleportation, transferring the two of them to a secret place nearby where no one else was present.

The method she was going to tell them next must not be known to anyone except the two of them.

"By teleporting? But with the telekinesis you have now, can you really accomplish such a long distance?"

After the girl expressed her thoughts, Qianye's eyes did light up at that moment, but it was followed by more worries:

After becoming a person with super powers, he realized that telekinesis cannot be used without restraint. If one activates telekinesis far beyond the limit of his control at one time, it will inevitably place a burden on the body, and in serious cases, it may even endanger his life.

Qianye is indeed worried about the safety of his parents now, but if Nazhi has to bear the danger because of this, he will never accept it.

"The issue of telekinetic load is secondary. The point is... I haven't been to Viridian City."

Nancy's words made the boy's refusal, which was about to be uttered, get stuck in his throat. A psychic's ability to teleport requires a clear understanding of the spatial coordinates of the teleportation location, but if you've never been to that place, you naturally won't have any sense of the spatial coordinates.

But in this case, wouldn't this plan be impossible to achieve from the beginning?

"However, I know there is someone who can definitely do it, as long as Qianye can convince her..."

The red eyes stared into Qianye's eyes, the soft lips moved slightly, and slowly uttered two words:

"dream."

Chapter 138: The Wood of the Earth

"...I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but now doesn't seem like the right time."

Qian Yeban squatted down and looked at the Cross-Bat lying in Yuantai's arms. He had never seen the other party like this, but the familiar look made the young man confirm the identity of the Cross-Bat at once.

"Squeak...Snap..." The wings of the cross-bat trembled slightly, as if it wanted to stretch out its little claws to stroke the boy's cheek.

"Mom, leave the rest to me." Qian Ye whispered, stretched out his hand and pressed on the claw, then stood up from the ground.

"Nazi, I'll trouble you with the treatment." Looking at the girl who teleported over with him to the other side, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of his parents when the battle started, so it would be best to entrust them to Nazi.

The girl nodded immediately and grabbed the arm of the middle-aged man she had only met once via video: "Uncle, please follow me to a safe place."

Genta, who had just recovered from the shock of his son's sudden appearance, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw the tall figure that had grown unnoticed, the man condensed his long words of dissuasion into a single sentence:

"Be careful of that armored Pokémon."

After saying this, he and the Crossbat in his arms were enveloped by the white light emitted from Nancy's eyes, and disappeared in a flash.

The Pokémon in armor... My gaze turned to the mysterious Pokémon sitting next to the crew-haired man on the red sofa, who hadn't moved at all the time. This guy was probably the one my dad was referring to in his final warning.

"Menghuan, are the fluctuations of telekinesis you sensed also coming from it?"

After listening to Nancy's advice, the boy directly called out Mew and asked her to teleport him and Nancy to Viridian City. The pink little girl agreed very readily, but the price was that Qianye must unconditionally fulfill one of her requests.

While teleporting them here, Menghuan suddenly said that she sensed a familiar mental fluctuation, and as a result, the two of them were teleported here.

"That's right, it's her. Strange... Why does it feel like my telekinesis is being suppressed? Is it because of that strange armor?"

Hearing the ethereal voice of the pink-haired loli in his mind, Qianye's eyes flashed with fear. He was also a psychic, so he could naturally feel the immense telekinesis unconsciously radiating from the mysterious Pokémon.

That level of telekinesis was something that even Nancy and I combined couldn't possibly reach. But according to Menghuan, it was actually limited by the device on her body...

"Uninvited guest, why don't you introduce yourself first?" Sitting on the red sofa chair, Sakaki supported his chin with the backs of his hands, and his magnetic voice rang out.

Hearing that voice, Qianye raised his head, looked directly at the man sitting in the high seat, and said calmly:

"After so many interactions with your people, I thought you'd know a lot about me. On the contrary, I never thought the Viridian Gym Leader would be a member of Team Rocket... No, judging by the current situation, you are the leader of Team Rocket."

"Oh, Kazejima Sho told you about his past? But it doesn't matter... That's right, I am the greatest darkness shrouding Kanto—the mastermind behind Team Rocket, Itaki of the Earth!"

Standing up from the red sofa chair, Sakaki proudly opened his arms and frankly admitted his true identity.

"Really? Then it seems there's no misunderstanding between us. Before we get started, could you answer a question for me?"

"You want to ask why I just watched you send your father out of here without stopping you, when it would be better to use them as hostages to restrain you, right?" Seeing what Qianye was thinking, Sakaki helped him to speak it out first.

"The reason is actually very simple. Although your father and I have parted ways due to our different ideologies, we've never actually had any real hatred. In fact, during the Rockets' rise, his research even made significant contributions to our cause..."

"Even if he tried to challenge me because of you, he's no longer a threat to Team Rocket in terms of strength or determination. So why would I attack him?"

After answering the boy's question, Sakaki moved half of his body forward slightly, and the shadow covered half of his body, faintly emitting a sense of oppression that made it difficult to breathe.

"But his son is different. Not only did he mess up my business so many times, but he also almost caused me to lose a loyal subordinate... Tell me, how should I deal with you?"

"That depends on whether you can do it." Qianye quickly pressed the switches of the Poké Balls tied to his waist, and several red lights appeared on his side, revealing the figures of Kotori, Umbreon, Lycanroc, Magnemite, and Charmeleon.

Seeing that the other party had released all their Pokémon and was on high alert, Sakaki suddenly smiled:

"Don't be so hasty. I don't really like taking extreme measures unless necessary. How about a bet?"

"Betting?"

"This is the Viridian Gym, so we'll follow the gym's rules. It's a five-on-five singles match. If you win, Team Rocket will never again bother you or your family. And of course, this Viridian Badge will be yours."

Sakaki raised his arm, pinched a green badge with a lush tree pattern between his index finger and thumb, and showed it to Qianye before continuing:

"But if you lose, don't even think about leaving here so easily today... How about this condition? Do you agree to it?"

"I don't seem to have the right to refuse?" This is Team Rocket's territory. If they really choose to abandon all rules and fight to the death, Sakaki has a far greater advantage than himself.

The reason why he made such a "generous" proposal was probably because he had absolute confidence in his own strength... or in the strength of that mysterious Pokémon, so he challenged him to a gym battle with a mentality similar to "cat and mouse" for entertainment.

"In that case, this is not a suitable battlefield." Sakaki clapped his hands, and with the sound of a mechanism vibrating, a wide door opened on the wall on the side of the room. Looking inside the door, a corner of the fighting arena could be vaguely seen.

"Then come with me." He casually took off the black round hat hanging next to the sofa chair and put it on his short hair. Then, he took the lead and walked into the fighting room of Tokiwa Gym.

……

"My subordinates tell me that your unique Kodora is very skilled at using earthquakes. Could you let me see for myself first?"

Standing on the gym leader's seat in the battle arena, Sakaki held a Poké Ball in his hand, staring straight at the black-haired boy on the other side, and spoke with a relaxed expression.

However, Qianye did not answer him, but silently took off a Poké Ball and held it in his hand.

"Don't want to... It doesn't matter. You'll see it sooner or later anyway. So this will be my first Pokémon to appear."

He casually threw the Poké Ball onto the field. As the red light came on, a big hole suddenly appeared out of thin air on the field of the arena. Three oval, bald heads emerged from the soil. Their appearance was full of a sense of "simplicity". There were only two black bean-like eyeballs and a red nose on their entire faces.

This is a ground-type Diglett from the Kanto region. Its unique physiological structure has long been a topic of discussion in the Kanto Pokémon community.

What does Diglett's body look like underground? Should three heads with different minds be considered three Pokémon or just one? These are questions Pokémon scholars tirelessly strive to answer.

A Pokémon scientist once hypothesized that the mud-like structure beneath the mole family isn't actually land, but rather a mimicry of the lower half of its body. This explains the strange phenomenon of scientists being unable to separate the mole's head from the earth it has burrowed into.

However, this hypothesis was quickly refuted by another scholar, who argued that the three-earth hamster did not belong to the mineral group and should not have a body structure similar to that of soil and stone. In short, the complete body structure of the three-earth hamster remains a mystery to this day.

"In that case, it's up to you, Umbreon." The Poké Ball in his hand opened and emitted a red light. The black Umbreon lightly jumped onto the field and called out to the three Digletts in front of him.

But as soon as he landed, the ground that his limbs touched began to soften inexplicably. The originally hard floor of the ring turned into soft sand. It seemed that there was a gravitational force pulling Moon Ibrahimovic downwards, and his four legs gradually sank into the mud and sand.

This is the "Sand Cave" racial characteristic of the Three Digletts. As long as it exists, it will continuously transform the surrounding land into a quicksand-like terrain.

With this power of changing the environment, not only can the enemy Pokémon's ability to move be severely restricted, but the trainer will also be unable to replace his own Pokémon that is sucked into the sand pit with the Poké Ball.

"Umbreon, bring out the double walls now." Fortunately, Qianye didn't plan to replace Umbreon for the time being, and if he wanted to, he also had a way to ignore the sand pit and replace it with a new Pokémon.

"Diglett, first substitute and then sword dance." Knowing that it would be difficult to knock it down quickly with Umbreon's defensive ability to interrupt it from creating the reflective wall and light wall, Sakaki simply let Diglett strengthen himself on the spot.

The speed of the three-mouse rat is quite outstanding. Once its attack power is strengthened, it will become a terrifying killer with both speed and strength.

However, Qianye didn't seem to care about Diglett's enhancement. After Umbreon created the Reflection Wall and the Light Wall, he gave the order: "Umbreon, use your Stand immediately."

What is that guy doing? Sakaki was confused by the boy's tactical arrangement. According to the intelligence he had obtained before, the Umbreon mastered a lot of disgusting transformation moves, but those were basically all handled by the substitute to take on the special effects of the attacks taken by the main body.

The intelligence also mentioned that the Umbreon had not learned any attacking moves at all. In other words, as long as his Diglett didn't do anything stupid and trigger the opponent's "synchronization" feature, he could remain invincible with a stand.

After Diglett was strengthened and formed, facing the powerful attack, Umbreon had no other way to delay except to keep using Stands and defending, and the final result could only be being exhausted to death.

"Three Digletts, seize the opportunity and dance with your swords to the climax."

After hearing Sakaki's command, the three hamsters continued to shake their heads. As the slightly funny dance came to an end, the three honest heads began to emit an extremely dangerous aura.

Very good, the next step is to completely crush that Umbreon with the combined force of absolute violence, so that it can't even use the tactic of strengthening itself and then taking over. Thinking of this, Sakaki immediately ordered:

"Three Digletts, start an earthquake!"

Earthquake is the most well-known Ground-type move, boasting impressive power and a guaranteed hit zone that hits anyone on the ground. However, due to its popularity, almost all Pokémon Trainers are aware of its effects and take precautions.

Any Pokémon with high agility can choose to jump before the impact of the earthquake hits it to minimize the damage, but under the traction of Diglett's "Sand Hole", it is impossible to jump up.

Sakaki's idea was good, but just before he gave the order, Qianye's voice rang out: "Umbreon, roar after self-suggestion!"

The moon pattern on Umbreon's forehead began to spin with golden light, and it suggested to itself... This move could copy the opponent's ability changes to itself one-to-one. When used on Diglett, the benefit would naturally be the increased attack power brought by its sword dance.

She only felt the power in her limbs suddenly filling up, and at this moment, the vibration that shattered the surface of the arena also spread outward with Diglett as the center, and reached Moon Eevee in an instant. The reserved stand was triggered, and the green doll that popped out was shattered in her place.

The Moon Eevee, who relied on its Stand to block the earthquake, had no time to rest. It raised its head high and let out a strange and terrifying roar that did not seem to exist in this world.

This is a move that directly affects the enemy's mind, just like provocation, but provocation arouses anger, while roaring arouses fear.

The stand was completely unable to stop the roar from the abyss, and when the three moles heard the voice, they had an illusion in their eyes for a moment - the black figure standing on the quicksand was gradually transforming into some kind of deformed, malicious, and indescribable existence.

For a moment, Diglett couldn't control himself and fled behind him, then dived into the Poké Ball in Sakaki's hand at a speed that even Sakaki himself couldn't react, replacing the Pokémon that was waiting inside to play later.

When the pangolin-like Pokémon, covered in yellow spikes and scales, appeared on the stage with a confused look on its face, Qianye's voice rang out again:

"Umbreon, take over!"

Chapter 139: Circular Rolling

The Umbreon was replaced by a large dog with black and gray fur all over its body. White air was coming out of its wet nose, and its two scarlet eyes were emitting flames of anger.

Qianye did not choose to transfer the enhanced attack power to Kodora. His Kodora had appeared too frequently in previous matches against Team Rocket, and Sakaki would definitely be on guard against her.

What's more, the opponent is a Pokémon trainer who is good at ground attributes, and has attribute suppression over the steel attribute Kodora. Kodora, who has poor mobility, may be knocked down before she can exert her destructive power.

In comparison, Kuroko, who is currently the fastest among his Pokémon, is obviously the most suitable to appear in this situation. His excellent speed and the extremely enhanced attack power obtained by taking over the baton are enough to pose a fatal threat to the opponent.

As soon as it appeared on the stage, the big wolfhound raised its neck high, with air accumulated in its throat, and the next moment it erupted with a roar that covered the entire venue and was almost enough to shatter the eardrums.

Heizi, who has always had a rough personality, was as angry as he was at this moment for the first time. Qianye's parents were also her closest relatives. After knowing that they were hurt, she had been suppressing the anger in her heart until now.

The beast's momentum surged due to its rage, and it easily overwhelmed another yellow Pokémon that rushed out hastily, its body covered in hard and sharp scales.

Just as the intelligence said, it has the Intimidation attribute... Unlike his own Pokémon who was a little timid because of the suppressed momentum, Sakaki's expression remained calm, but his eyes were fixed on the big wolfhound.

Normally, Sakaki wouldn't even give a second glance to common Pokémon like the Wolfhound, which were so numerous that they looked like stray dogs on the roadside. However, the aptitude of this one was different from those guys, as could be seen from the level of intimidation it had just displayed.

To have been able to follow the genius trainer known as "Demon" all this way until now, he must have had some skills. This performance far beyond the limitations of his own race was probably the work of Kazeshima Sho...

"Crossland King, activate the round transformation."

At Sakaki's command, the Sandshrew immediately hugged itself with its arms, wrapping its soft belly within the thorn armor on its body. The whole mouse curled up into a yellow ball of thorns, its body emitting a faint white light, and its scales seemed to have been polished, appearing smoother and harder.

Did he choose not to attack because he knew Kuroko had learned a surprise attack? The circle move can strengthen one's own defense, and after launching the circle move, Sandsang King also exposes the sharp spines on his back outward, combining the two sides of the spear and shield.

"Blackie, provoke and then attack!"

We can't let the Sandslash continue to strengthen its defense like this. As Qianye finished speaking, ripples appeared in Heizi's eyes, covering the Sandslash who stayed in place without dodging in order to activate the round shape.

After blocking the white light that lit up again on the huge "thorn ball", the big wolfhound exerted force with its legs, and its feet made bursts of explosions, and its body turned into a long black arrow.

Seeing Sandsang King being hit, Sakaki was not too surprised, but just spoke at a very fast speed:

"Mountain King, use Roll."

The Sandshrew curled up its body and began to gather strength to roll over, but before it could finish, the big wolfhound leaped over it and swung its claws downwards with force.

The Sandsang King's carapace was much harder than rock, but it was still not enough to withstand Heizi's attack. It was like a thin layer of bark that blocked the attack for a moment before being pierced by the sharp claws and penetrated deep into the protected flesh.

Blood spurted out and severe pain was transmitted into the "thorn ball", but fortunately, the layer of armor that strengthened the defense had some effect of buffering the attack, so that it did not lose its combat effectiveness.

Enduring the pain in her back, the Sandshrew continued to twist and turn her curled body forward. Sensing a bad premonition, the wolfhound immediately pulled its claws out of her flesh, drawing a large amount of blood. It then began to spin rapidly, its spikes slicing through her palm, severing several strands of black hair and sending them flying.
