Pokémon, they've all been turned into girls!

Page 160

Even in ordinary conversation, the voice can be so captivating that it can easily draw you in if you're not paying attention.

—When she parted her lips slightly, her voice was like shattered jade falling onto a plate, clear and sweet like honey, or like the ripples spreading when a wind chime hangs from the eaves of a spring night and is touched by a gentle breeze, as if every strand of it was infused with the fragrance of moonlight and flower dew.

Feeling the pleasant sound intermittently striking his eardrums, Bai Ye couldn't help but secretly marvel.

No wonder this girl is called the idol-like "Rukia". Even in the game setting of her previous life, Rukia had her own exclusive theme song. It seems that her voice is just too outstanding.

Unaware of the change in Bai Ye's expression, Liu Qi moved even closer.

Her bright, sparkling emerald eyes, as dazzling as cat's-eye stones, perfectly complemented her melodious and captivating voice.

"Isn't it perfectly normal to follow behind Mr. Baiye to learn about your daily schedule, observe how you raise and train Pokémon, and figure out your rival's strengths and weaknesses in order to better defeat him?!"

Finally, the girl made her final declaration.

Since her defeat in the Mikuri Cup, Ryukia tossed and turned for several days, unable to sleep. After thinking for a day and a night, she finally found the reason—although she had investigated Byakuya, she still knew too little.

A truly formidable rival should have a comprehensive understanding of the other party's situation. However, when asked questions about how Baiye usually trains her Pokémon, how many hours she trains, and what training methods she uses, she was completely clueless, showing no signs of being a formidable rival at all!

That's why she's been sticking with Mr. Bai Ye for the time being!

I am determined to steal Mr. Bai Ye's secret to becoming stronger, then study and practice diligently to defeat him completely!

"Isn't the so-called rivals supposed to help each other, compare with each other, and then improve and become stronger together? Mr. Baiye doesn't need to worry about me. Just focus on your own things. I will follow and observe Ryukia on my own."

""

Bai Ye's face showed a hint of helplessness at the girl Liu Ji's obvious thoughts.

Figure out the key to becoming stronger

But the key point is that most of his time, apart from tending to crops on the farm, is spent grinding for Pokémon stats, and he doesn't really give Pokémon serious training like other trainers do.

So you're really going to stick by my side and watch me and Gardevoir have our Silver Party every day, huh?!

Bai Ye, feeling somewhat annoyed by the troublesome girl, subconsciously wanted to refuse her stalking behavior, but faced with Ryukia's bright green eyes that shone with hope, he found it difficult to refuse her directly.

After sighing, he still struggled a few times, refusing to believe it.

"I need to go to the coffee shop now to pick up the clothes I ordered a few days ago, and also to film a promotional video for the Mikkuri Cup competition as requested by your uncle Mikkuri. I don't plan to go for any special training."

"It's alright, it's normal to balance work and rest. Before observing the training, I can accompany you to do other things. Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about how handsome you'll look in that custom-made suit. I'm not saying you don't look handsome now, I'm just very curious and eager to see."

Ryukia was completely oblivious to the meaning behind Byakuya's words, and continued to chatter away with her beautiful, watery eyes.

"But after filming ends, I won't travel and train like a normal trainer. Instead, I'll leave Yosuga City, return to Hiyori Town, and continue running my farm."

"Eh? Mr. Shiroya is leaving so soon? But that's perfectly fine~ Running a farm sounds amazing. Don't worry, Mr. Shiroya will definitely use the time while farming to give his Pokémon some special training. I brought a lot of money with me~ I won't be eating and staying at the farm for free."

Rukia was initially surprised that Byakuya was leaving after only a week in Yoriichi. Then, she shook her head indifferently, took out her small wallet, and tilted her head back, as if she were about to become a rich young lady and frantically transfer money to Byakuya.

"Doing farm work isn't easy either, so I might neglect to treat you well, Rukia."

"Mr. Bai Ye!"

Ryukia puffed out her cheeks as if she were aggrieved, and her beautiful emerald eyes were misty.

"No matter what you say or what you plan to do later, I'll be there! After all, you're the first person I've identified as my lifelong rival, and you absolutely, positively cannot get rid of me. I'm not a child, Mr. Bai Ye, you don't need to treat me like a guest, and I absolutely won't cause you any trouble."

If it were someone else constantly following you around like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to shake off or kick away, and chirping incessantly like a little sparrow, probably no one could tolerate it in the end.

But the same scene, when applied to this young girl, did not evoke any sense of disgust.

The reason is simple: the way Rukia is clinging to you right now makes her seem like an idol girl whose eyes are only on you.

So full of energy that even if Bai Ye frowned and refused, she would still hop around to his side, tilting her head up and curving her eyelashes into crescents. If he didn't respond and walked a few steps faster, she wouldn't be annoyed at all. Instead, she would run after him, her smooth ponytail swaying in the wind like a waterfall, like a little sparrow that refused to admit defeat, insisting on following closely to him.

Not to mention, besides this warm and fiery personality like a little sun, the girl's melodious voice is completely free of any annoying chatter or nagging. It only reminds one of the gentle, lingering rain of locust blossoms scattered by the wind in late spring, making one wish that the voice could last longer and longer.

At this moment, facing this situation...

Bai Ye went from initially trying to struggle and refuse, to being unable to resist teasing her on purpose, and finally to being completely at a loss.

How could anyone resist such an adorable girl?

Bai Ye reached out and gently pressed his hand on the head of the girl who was trying to get closer, like an energetic idol.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, I'll never shake off this formidable rival."

"woo"

Feeling the warmth from Bai Ye's hair, Rukia, who was about to jump for joy after hearing Bai Ye's affirmative reply, froze.

A slight blush rose on her fair, snow-white cheeks, and white steam seemed to billow out from her head, instantly turning the girl into a steam princess emitting steam.

Not only was the word "forever" slightly ambiguous, as if it were a confession that we would be together forever, but Bai Ye's sudden head-pressing also threw this innocent and naive girl into a state of confusion.

Some of the actions were abrupt and impulsive, but they were surprisingly reassuring, and even stirred a faint sense of excitement within.

Ryukia subconsciously squinted her eyes, her head gently rubbing against the palm of his hand. But just as she came to her senses and felt so ashamed of her actions that she was about to lose consciousness, Bai Ye withdrew his hand and said seriously.

"Using 'sir' and 'sir' makes me sound too old; I'm not that much older than you."

"Can't we use a better way to address Ryukia?"

"Eh? Is that so? Then, Onii-chan?"

With her lips pursed, Liu Ji's voice was like the melting snow water from a mountain stream.
