How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

"I think I understand. You've realized that you've been manipulated by Team Rocket... you've been deceived by their forceful values. So now you plan to completely break away from Team Rocket and find your true meaning in life. Am I right?"

Mewtwo nodded vigorously, then continued, "It was Mew that told me that if I kept following you, I would be able to resolve the emptiness in my heart. She also taught me that, saying that this way you would be more likely to agree..."

It was indeed her!!! The image of the pink-haired loli covering her mouth and laughing when her prank succeeded resurfaced in Qianye’s mind, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

"But my request is absolutely sincere. As long as you are willing to let me live with you, I can help you solve any troubles you encounter along the way. It can also be regarded as making up for the mistakes I made before."

Mewtwo didn't notice that Qianye's expression was becoming more and more strange when she said this: Isn't this kid a little... too honest? He doesn't look like someone who has been in Team Rocket for a long time.

Back at the Viridian Gym, perhaps because Mewtwo's own strength was too great and the pressure was too great, he hadn't felt anything. But now that the situation had changed and the pressure was gone, the image of a strong woman he had built up in his mind was basically shattered.

"Mew suggests this, probably because she wants you to be inspired by observing how normal people and Pokémon live together, and find your own life goals..."

Although Qianye seriously suspected that Mew said this just because he thought it would be more interesting that way, for Mewtwo's sake, he decided to analyze it from a positive perspective.

"But have you ever thought about this question: Are the new goals you've gained through traveling with us what you truly desire, or are they just another self-deceiving 'fake' created by simply imitating our behavior patterns?"

"I... I don't know." Although awakened by Qianye's words, Mewtwo fell into deeper loss. If even the path suggested by Mew is not feasible, where should she go?

"Qianye, what should I do?"

The helplessness in the girl's eyes touched Qianye's heart. She clearly possessed the power to shake the entire world, but at this moment she was like a drowning person grasping at a piece of driftwood.

"Are you willing to believe me, even after being deceived by humans?" Stretching out his arms and placing his hands on Mewtwo's shoulders, the boy looked into the pair of purple eyes and asked softly.

"Of... course." Maybe it was because he was too close, but Mewtwo became visibly panicked, and his voice trembled slightly.

"I agree to your previous request. You can join us from now on. But there's one thing I want you to do: whether it's finding yourself or finding the meaning of life, I hope you can forget about those things for a while."

"Mewtwo, you weren't born to live for something, but because you're living, you'll slowly learn what you want to pursue. So, before you find that path, enjoy your life first."

Listening to Qianye's words, Mewtwo inexplicably recalled the first time he met Sakaki. It was also the time when the two of them were alone, and they also talked about the value of existence.

Looking back now, although both Sakaki and Chiye said they wanted to help her, she could only see endless ambition in the former's eyes, while the latter's gaze brought a long-lost sense of peace to her confused and restless heart.

"I understand. I'll give it a try."

In this case, why not believe it again and enjoy your own life...

Seeing that Mewtwo had taken his words in, and the confusion in his eyes had receded a little, Qianye finally had the opportunity to ask him about something that was very important to him. "By the way, Mewtwo. I've been wanting to ask you before, is there any relationship between you and Mew?"

Not to mention the high similarity in appearance and abilities, the fact that Mewtwo would believe the words of a Pokémon that had never been seen before and suddenly appeared is already worth pondering.

He remembered that Xia Bo once mentioned that Team Rocket used the fossilized eyelashes of a certain legendary Pokémon to successfully create Mewtwo, and this original Pokémon... was most likely Mew.

"According to what she said, she can be considered my mother. After all, both my genes and strength are inherited from her..."

"How can I put it? Although I don't know much about family affection, I can feel that she doesn't seem to have any special feelings for me."

This is not surprising. Mew should have known about Mewtwo's existence for a long time, but has never shown an urgent desire to find the other party. After all, no matter how close the two are in blood, they are complete strangers to each other.

While he was thinking, a crisp ringtone suddenly came from his waist pocket. After saying sorry to Mewtwo, Qianye took out the communication device.

As soon as the call was connected, A'du's voice came from the other end: "Qianye, if it is convenient now, please come to the Oak Research Institute. We are discussing something about Team Rocket and we have something to ask you..."

……

After hanging up the call, A'du put down the communicator in his hand, and glanced at the group of alliance staff sitting at the temporarily arranged square tables in the research institute. He waved to the reporting personnel who had just interrupted their work because of his call to continue reporting.

"Following what was just said, after receiving a report regarding Sakaki, the Tokiwa Gym Master, our search and rescue personnel have thoroughly searched the entire ruins, including any possible basements. The only significant clue they found was a large, decommissioned device."

As the reporter raised his arm and tapped the screen, a huge instrument with a cylindrical chamber soon appeared on it.

"This is the preliminary result of the research department's reconstruction. It is extremely similar to the Pokémon transporter we intercepted earlier. It is likely the work of the Evolution Association. And according to preliminary speculation, this device has the ability to teleport humans. This may be the reason why we can't find Sakaki, the Tokiwa Gym Leader, no matter how hard we search."

"Incidentally, since Sakaki's disappearance, all Team Rocket forces in the Kanto region have vanished almost overnight. Considering the unverified information in the report that Sakaki is the mastermind behind Team Rocket, I believe this is information that demands our attention."

Chapter 154 This incident is also recorded in "The Way of Evil Ghosts"

"Sorry, I'm late." After receiving the communication from Dragon King A'du, Qianye immediately rushed to the Oak Research Institute.

In his sight, those familiar experimental equipment were moved to the corner to make room at the spliced ​​conference table. All the participants who heard the sound turned their eyes to him.

"We are the ones who should apologize. You should have been allowed to recover from your injuries at this time. However, if you want to know what happened at the Tokiwa Gym, Qianye, you are the only witness who was present throughout the entire process."

Having said that, A'Du stood up and personally brought Qianye to the main seat. Then, he took out a separate copy of the information compiled by the previous reporting personnel and handed it to the other party.

He quickly scanned the information and was slightly taken aback when he saw the information about Team Rocket's movements after Sakaki's disappearance. Although Sakaki had lost the previous bet, he didn't believe that he would repent and quit.

At most, they would just do as agreed and not cause trouble for him and his family because of the previous events. The reason why they all hid away at once was probably because after losing Mewtwo, the absolute combat power who could back them up, the Rockets no longer had the strength to challenge the league head-on.

Putting the information A'du gave him back on the table, Qianye cleared his throat and said:

"Regarding my experience at the Tokiwa Gym, things are a little complicated, so I'll try to be brief..." As soon as the young man finished speaking, all the participants present focused their attention to avoid missing any details that he would describe next.

It is hard to imagine that almost a month ago, when Qianye attended this kind of alliance meeting for the first time, he was just a small transparent person among all the participants. If it were not for the support of two league champions at that time, no one would take his speech seriously.

This time, he could feel that the eyes of those sitting below were looking at him in a completely different way. It was as if he was looking at a hero whose whole body was shining with dazzling light.

To be honest, compared to these gazes that made his scalp tingle, the previous direct ignoring made him feel more comfortable.

However, it is actually quite normal for the members of the Kanto Alliance to have such an attitude towards Qianye. Without knowing about his gambling fight with Sakaki, according to the information currently available, the young man almost single-handedly broke into the headquarters of Team Rocket, the largest evil force in the Kanto region.

Without any support, he not only successfully destroyed the Rocket Team's headquarters, but also forced the mysterious leader behind the scenes to escape. The Rocket Team's forces in the entire Kanto region suffered a severe blow, and they temporarily disappeared.

This was a feat that had never been achieved in the Kanto League. During the period when Team Rocket was at its most rampant, even Dragonite, who served as both the chief investigator and the league champion, was unable to inflict such severe damage on those villains, but a fledgling young trainer did it.

What Qianye didn't know was that during the time he was unconscious, his reputation had spread throughout the entire Kanto Alliance. Several alliance staff members who were attending the meeting had already taken out paper and pen, intending to record the other party's earth-shaking battle at the Tokiwa Gym.

Unfortunately, Qianye was going to disappoint his "fans". The boy simply and quickly omitted the battle part that they were most concerned about during the entire description, and only mentioned the reasons and consequences of his breaking into the Viridian Gym and the fact that Team Rocket had mastered a legendary Pokémon.

Of course, he also made appropriate changes to some things that were inconvenient to disclose, such as changing his parents' initiative to go to Viridian City to being kidnapped by Team Rocket; and he did not disclose Mewtwo's current whereabouts, but only said that he chose to leave Team Rocket after that battle.

"No wonder Team Rocket has been so confident lately. They even managed to create a Legendary Pokémon... But Qianye, you faced that kind of power head-on. It's amazing that you were able to win in the end."

After the meeting, Adu took the initiative to find Qianye and continued to chat with the boy about Mewtwo.

Legendary Pokémon... Adu has been the champion of the Kanto League for more than ten years, and has never seen the true form of any legendary Pokémon with his own eyes. The only thing he knows about legendary Pokémon is that the Kanto League Conference is said to have originated from the sacred fire of the legendary Pokémon Moltres.

Although he is extremely busy with the affairs of the League every day, Adu is a Pokémon trainer after all, so he is naturally passionate about those unknown, mysterious and powerful beings.

As luck would have it, there was a young man who had not only seen but also defeated a legendary Pokémon. Adu naturally wanted to learn more from him.

"I can only say that it was just good luck. That legendary Pokémon was born too recently, so it can't fully unleash its power..."

"And even if I narrowly won in the end, if the other party hadn't decided to continue fighting, I probably wouldn't be here safe and sound now."

Listening to Qianye's explanation, behind the Dragon King, an alliance recorder with a pen and paper had his eyes light up, and his right hand holding the pen quickly began to write something.

He had originally planned to interview Qianye privately after the meeting to discuss the details of the battle at the Tokiwa Gym, but he hadn't expected his champion to get there first. Just as he was about to leave, he overheard their conversation and immediately changed his mind and stopped.

The final result also proved how wise his decision was. He actually heard about the battle between Qianye and the legendary Pokémon! Although there was still no description of the details, it didn't matter. He could imagine it himself.

The man put the pen under his chin and pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote:

"But Qianye and the legendary Pokémon created by Team Rocket fought to the end. Both sides were exhausted, but the black-haired boy and his Pokémon remained full of fighting spirit. Even though they were covered in wounds, they still stood firm."

"That close bond and unyielding faith finally overwhelmed their opponent, and although they still had the strength to fight, the mysterious Pokémon admitted defeat at the hands of Qianye."

He put a period on the note and was about to end it there, but just as he was about to close the notebook, he suddenly felt that this ending was not exciting enough, so he picked up the pen and added a few more sentences:

"After completely putting an end to Team Rocket's evil plot, Qianye himself was seriously injured and fell into a coma. In this critical moment, the artificial legendary Pokémon that had previously been their enemy lent a hand."

"It turns out that after that battle, he was deeply attracted by the young man's unwavering will, so he immediately decided to abandon the dark side and join the light side, and began his journey with Qianye."

After finishing, the man clasped his hands together and closed his notebook. Although he had made some minor changes, the overall text should be pretty much the same. Oh, and since this is a biography of Mr. Qianye's legendary experiences, it naturally needs a title...

After much thought, and recalling that Qianye had the nickname "Devil Trainer" from the Pokémon hunters who had been caught before, the league recorder suddenly had an inspiration. He immediately splashed ink on the cover and wrote the three big words "Devil Road".

Satisfied, he put the notebook back into his briefcase, intending to circulate the biography among his colleagues after returning to the Alliance headquarters.

But he probably wouldn't have imagined that not long after that, "The Way of the Demons" would be passed on from one person to another, copied and circulated repeatedly, and eventually even became a best-seller in the Kanto region. Of course, this is all a story for later.

……

"Strange, it seems like a recorder wanted to ask me something just now. Has he left?"

The discussion with Adu about legendary Pokémon finally came to an end. Qianye looked around while recalling something, but did not see the figure of the Alliance clerk holding a notebook.

"Probably the Hitomo Recorder. I remember he's been very interested in your deeds since your debut, Qianye. He even went to the Alliance prison to interview the Pokémon hunters you captured."

Is it necessary to be so exaggerated... After hearing A'du's words, Qianye did not feel any sense of pride, but instead got goose bumps on his back.

"Haha, you're scared, right? I also had this worry when I first became a superstar, but you'd better get used to this kind of life as soon as possible."

"After all, with your current fame in the alliance, you're almost on par with us kings. I've heard several people in the alliance recently discussing the possibility that our Guandu might produce the youngest league champion in history."

Speaking half-jokingly, A'du reached out and patted the black-haired boy's shoulder, but Qianye shook his head at the praise he gave:

"Please stop making fun of me. My current strength may be pretty good among my peers, but there's definitely still a big gap between me and the league's top players and champions..."

This was not entirely modesty. Although after Kodara evolved into Aegis Kodara, Qianye was absolutely confident that she could defeat the Elite Four, even their main Pokémon, based on her performance at the Viridian Gym.

But after all, there's only one powerful Boskodora. While a one-on-one fight might be formidable, a true League Challenge would require a six-on-six Pokémon battle. If Boskodora were to fall, would the remaining Pokémon on his team truly be able to withstand the King's might?

Having personally witnessed the performance of Kona's main Pokémon, Qianye naturally knew the answer to this question. The road to becoming a trainer is still a long way to go...

"Oh, by the way, I remember seeing Sister Kona among the crowd of people who came to visit. Why didn't she come to this meeting?"

"Kona... The ruins of the former Viridian Gym site haven't been fully searched yet, and she's in charge of coordinating the work there, so she rushed over after dinner. With the help of Pokémon, she should be here by now."

Stroking his chin, Adu answered. Speaking of which, the boy suddenly mentioned Kona, which reminded him of an important thing he had not yet done.

After reaching into his waist pocket and checking to make sure the thing was still in its original place, Adu said, "But speaking of that Kona girl, I heard she gave you a Pokémon egg?"

"Yes, it's a Pokémon egg from Nura, but it hasn't hatched yet."

Qian Ye nodded. This morning he had specially checked the light black egg. The life force inside was still active and there was not a single crack on the surface of the eggshell. It seemed that it was not time for it to hatch yet.

"Is that so? Then take this."

Before the boy could react, A'du took out a scarlet spherical stone from under his cloak. The red structure inside the stone looked like a genetic spiral. Isn't this the mega stone?

"It seems you've already recognized me. Since Kona gave you a gift, then as the champion of the Kanto League, I shouldn't be stingy with our hero either."

"It seems your Charmander has evolved into Charmeleon. I think it's not far from its final form, Charizard. You can keep this Charizard Mega Stone for now."

With an unquestionable tone, A'du directly stuffed the mega stone into Qianye's hand.

"In that case, thank you very much, Champion Adu." Without rejecting the other party's kindness, Qianye withdrew his palm and looked at the small but extremely precious stone.

As far as I can remember, Charizard is the only Pokémon that has two types of Mega Stones dug out, allowing it to Mega Evolve in completely different directions.

If it's vermilion, it's likely the Charizard Mega Stone numbered Y. While its original attributes remain unchanged, its fire power has been significantly enhanced. For Charmeleon, who excels in special attacks, this is the perfect Mega Stone.

Qianye took off a Poké Ball tied to his waist and just pressed the button when a yellow figure rushed out from the white light and flew into his arms.

The head kept rubbing against the boy's chin, and the fire dinosaur greedily sniffed the scent of its master whom it had not seen for a long time, and the flame on its tail burned even more vigorously.

Qianye wasn't opposed to the other person's affectionate display, but he had other things on his mind right now, and with her clinging to him like that, he couldn't do anything. So, he reached out and grabbed the other person's waist, pulling the Charizard away from him.

"Charmeleon, this is for you."

He placed the Charizard Mega Stone Y he had just obtained on the yellow claws. Then, as if remembering something, the boy quickly added a reminder: "By the way, this is a prop for Mega Evolution. Don't eat it directly."

Charmeleon felt a strong attraction from the stone handed to him. Just as he was curious about its purpose, he heard his trainer's additional reminder and was stunned for a moment:

No, judging by the feel of my claws, this stone is almost harder than steel. Unless you have good teeth like Big Sister, chewing it would be a waste of effort if you really want to eat it...

And after all, it's obvious that this stone is not an ordinary thing. Which Pokémon would be so stupid as to eat something like this like a candy bean?

……

At this moment, somewhere, a silver-haired woman with a grim expression, who easily dodged the large black dog that pounced on her from different angles, suddenly sneezed.

Seeing such a big flaw, the big wolfhound naturally would not let it go. It tightened its limbs and burst out with all its strength in an instant, rushing forward to knock the opponent down.

Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Ampera showed no sign of panic. The black armor on his hand emerged, and he met the oncoming Heizi head-on with a straight punch, hitting the opponent's chin, causing the big wolfhound to fly out whimpering.

Looking at her own pitch-black iron fist, Ampera frowned slightly. Just then, a feeling of displeasure suddenly rose within her, causing her to lose control of her punch.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I personally trained with the Color Lizard. After Qianye comes back, I will catch that guy and train him together.

Thinking of this, a pair of blood-red eyes lowered and looked at Heizi, who seemed to be still dizzy and unable to get up immediately.

"Hurry up and stand up. You can't be defeated by this level of attack." Ampera's tone was very stern. Although Kuroko was the one with whom she had the best relationship in the team, once she entered the training state, she would definitely not show any mercy.

"Or do you want to rely on your current strength to protect Qianye?"

Nothing could stimulate Heizi more than this sentence. His eyes flashed with scarlet light, and his consciousness became clear instantly. He struggled to get up from the ground with all his limbs.
