Pokémon, they've all been turned into girls!

"Articuno, Blizzard."

Chapter 97 Xiaoyao's Heart Fluttering

Fangyuan area, Chenghua City.

"Haruka! If you don't come down soon, your tempura soba noodles are going to be eaten by Tachibana!"

Misaki wore a black and white striped apron and gently tapped the clay pot with a wooden spoon in her hand.

On the stove, the Pokémon Roll with its fluffy tail brought out the freshly warmed miso soup. Hearing the hostess's voice, the tip of its fluffy tail wagged proudly.

"Come on, come on~"

Light footsteps echoed down the stairs as an eighteen-year-old girl descended gracefully. Her chestnut-brown curly hair cascaded down to her waist, and a blush rose to her fair, delicate face from her hurried descent.

The soft white light bathed her profile, making the butterfly-shaped hair ornament glow. Her amber pupils shimmered with a honey-like luster, and a small, light brown mole adorned the corner of her left eye. When she smiled, she possessed both the pure and pretty charm of a young girl and an extra touch of alluring charm.

"Hey, is this the latest Pokémon movie?"

As soon as Xiaoyao came downstairs, she glanced at the buckwheat noodles that had been served on the dining table, and then, through the rising steam, she saw the television playing on the screen directly opposite her.

A forest seemingly swept away by a fire dragon, fine snow falling, and a swarm of wild Pokémon charging forward.

The scene was both bizarre and extremely impactful, as if a large-scale disaster movie was being filmed.

"No, no, it's a live broadcast!"

Misaki gently untied her apron and picked up a wooden spoon to add another spoonful of golden corn chowder to her daughter's bowl.

"It's said that a forest fire broke out in Hiyori Town in the Sinnoh region, and it seems that many wild Pokémon were provoked and went on a rampage."

Taking a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea, the middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the table explained.

"Qianli, you don't wash your hands before eating again!"

Just as Misaki was about to nod in agreement, she arranged the golden and crispy shrimp tempura into the shape of flower petals, then suddenly remembered something, glanced at her husband's hand holding the teacup, and said reproachfully.

"Cough cough~" The middle-aged man in the brown shirt shivered involuntarily, almost choking on the tea he was drinking.

Having long been accustomed to her parents' daily bickering, Xiaoyao used her chopsticks to twirl up a steaming bowl of noodles and put it in her mouth before turning her gaze to the live broadcast playing in front of her.

"According to our station, the forest explosion caused by the illegal activities of the large poaching gang led by Hunter J has resulted in a massive fire in the Sunny Forest of the Sinnoh region, as well as a large-scale riot of wild Pokémon."

The announcer, with a serious expression, finished reading the script, and then the scene shifted to the field reporter sitting in a helicopter hovering over the forest.

As the overhead camera zoomed in, the horrific scene of Hiyori Forest was revealed in its entirety to the television viewers.

Unlike the overall aerial shots, the wider the angle, the clearer the ferocious figures and roars became.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao couldn't help but frown slightly, and the ends of her chestnut hair trembled with her rapid breathing.

As a powerful gust of cold air swept in, the helicopter began to shake violently in the air, causing the chestnut-colored girl's heart to leap into her throat once again.

But the next second, she witnessed that breathtaking scene.

The camera that was hit by the bulkhead did not lose its ability to work and continued to diligently focus its lens.

"That is"

Like the field reporter in charge of broadcasting, Xiaoyao also subconsciously widened her beautiful eyes.

Pokémon with icy blue wings descended from the dim sky like gods. The fierce howling wind completely drowned out the roars of the rampaging wild Pokémon, and the sudden blizzard extinguished the arrogant wildfire.

A figure stood calmly in front of them.

“It’s Articuno.” Senri washed his hands in the kitchen and sat down. He recognized the Pokémon’s name on the TV at a glance and couldn’t help but exclaim, “To be able to catch a Pokémon of this level, this young man must be an amazing trainer.”

"What if...what if it's compared to Dad?"

The chestnut-colored girl's eyes brightened, and she couldn't help but ask.

"I could never do that. It seems like the new generation of trainers has taken over now."

Qianli smiled and shook his head, picked up the crispy tempura his wife had just fried, and looked at the black-haired young man on TV with admiration in his eyes.

Although he is the Gym Leader of Petalburg City and is so strong that he is known as one of the next Elite Four of the Hoenn region, he would not be able to completely wipe out the beast tide on his own if faced with the same situation.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

Having received the answer from her father, Xiaoyao turned her attention back to the television.

In the scene, as the black-haired youth waved his hand and pointed, the second-level god that descended to the world—Articuno—revealed an unprecedented aura of power under the blessing of the ice pillars and stone slabs.

Even more ferocious than the raging inferno and the savage beast tide was a blizzard that swept across the entire forest!

Xiaoyao's chopsticks hovered above the soup, and the sauce dripping from the buckwheat noodles spread out in ripples in the bowl.

She leaned slightly forward, her soft chestnut hair almost brushing against the noodles in her bowl, but she was completely unaware.

If the previous scene filled everyone with despair—the ever-burning and unquenchable forest fire, the endless Pokémon frenzy, it was like a living hell.

Then, when Articuno descended, the black-haired youth looked down like an emperor at the wild Pokémon that dared not move in front of him, and everything was completely reversed.

Unlike a normal [Blizzard] move, the snow that rises up in a powerful wave does not fall, but instead freezes directly into a spiral-shaped ice storm.

Each snowflake was like a blade tempered by ice energy; wherever it passed, the branches of towering trees were scraped with a metallic whistling sound, and the pine needles instantly froze into emerald-colored icicles.

As the biting wind swept through, the wild Pokémon that had gathered together and were preparing to charge toward the edge of the forest were all sent flying backward with cries of pain.

The young man who wiped out the beast tide remained calm, as if he had only done something extremely insignificant.

The blizzard abruptly stopped, and glistening ice crystals gently fell, as if playing a triumphant closing chorus for him.

"Xiaoyao? The noodles are getting cold~"

The girl was startled by the sound of her mother Misaki's voice coming from a great distance. She realized that the tempura in the bowl had become soggy.

Although she had seen her father, Senri, battle against many trainers at the gym, and had watched championship battles on TV, such as those with Steven, she had never seen anything like what had just happened before.

With just a wave of his hand, he could defeat ten thousand men single-handedly.

Unable to think of any words to describe the young man, Xiaoyao recalled his figure under the icy snow curtain, took a bite of the tempura that overflowed with juice, and suddenly felt her heart beating faster than ever before.

A pure and innocent young girl is always prone to romantic feelings.

Judging by the time, she'll be going to Littleroot Town next week to get her starter Pokémon from Professor Birch.

So, should we make Sinnoh the first stop on our trip?

Chapter 98: Conclusion and Invitation

"it's over?"

Officer Jenny opened her eyes as the storm abruptly stopped, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.

Unlike Xiaoyao, who could only watch from the television, this cool and sexy policewoman on the front lines was clearly much more shocked.

Just when she and Growlithe were exhausted and desperate, unable to stop the beast tide, a bird Pokémon as pure as frost descended and wiped out the forest fire and the rampaging wild Pokémon with a single Blizzard.

I have to say, it really is

"Brother Baiye, you were so cool just now, waaaaaah~" "Bo-ga-bo-ga~"

Unlike Officer Jenny, who was secretly trembling with affection, the pretty blue-haired girl obviously didn't think that much. Instead, she threw herself at Bai Ye with adoration, a blush creeping onto her face.

"It wasn't just me, all of you fighting off the beast tide looked really cool."

Bai Ye caught Xiao Guang as she pounced on him and corrected the blue-haired girl's statement with a smile.

He is not the kind of person who becomes arrogant and greedy after becoming a hero. Everyone has different abilities, and being able to exert one's strength to the fullest extent within one's capabilities is also a form of heroism.

"woo"

With her arms outstretched, Xiao Guangyu wrapped her arms around the farmer's neck. Already caught in a bind, her face flushed, and her azure eyes were misty with tears.

Because of the sudden embrace, Bai Ye's large hands happened to support the girl's plump, round buttocks.

Although there was a thick layer of pink cherry blossom-colored dress between them, the soft and snowy touch could still be clearly felt, which made the blue-haired girl even more shy, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan that only the two of them could hear.

That's how lively girls are; they excitedly hug the farmer and then suddenly realize they've given him a huge treat.

However, Xiao Guang subconsciously snuggled closer to Bai Ye's arms, quite enjoying the feeling.

"Chirp~"

"Well done, Articuno."

After a while, Bai Ye gently put down Xiao Guang, who was hanging on him and whose cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment, and then turned to look at the ice-blue figure that had landed on the ground and praised it.

Although it hasn't entered a female form, Articuno still possesses a graceful and elegant beauty.

"Chirp~"

Articuno gently nuzzled its trainer with its head, seemingly enjoying the moment they had fought side by side.

As Bai Ye stroked her icy, holy feathers, he too was savoring the previous battle.

If it weren't for the icicle slab they happened to find, they might have had to slink away from the Sunrise Forest today.

However, with the power of Ice-type moves increased by 200%, Articuno, already a second-tier legendary Pokémon, unleashed unprecedented power, instantly annihilating the surging beast tide.

However, Bai Ye looked at the icicle slabs that had regained their dullness.

When she first encountered Articuno, she went berserk after absorbing its ice-type energy.

But today, using him as a medium, Articuno was not overwhelmed by that powerful force after the event, and returned to its usual self.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye frowned to himself, somewhat puzzled.

Is this an inherent ability of the cheat system, or is it the favor of the creator god Arceus?

Just as he was still pondering, a deep dragon's roar suddenly came from the sky.

Looking up, Bai Ye saw a Dragonite flapping its small wings, flying towards him at incredible speed, stirring up a gust of wind.

Hmm... Watari?

Bai Ye recognized the red-haired man in the cape as he leaped off the back of the Dragonite.

The Dragon Messenger, the Dragon-type Elite Four member of the Kanto region and the champion of the Johto region, Lance, like his senior sister Cynthia, is considered to be among the top trainers in the Pokémon world.

Of course, for Baiye, another name seems more endearing—Dodo.

On the surface, he is the Dragon-type Elite Four member, but his team of six Pokémon includes the Flying-type Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactyl, along with the three Dragonite Pokémon that already have the Flying type. He is often jokingly referred to as the "Flying-type Elite Four member".

"Investigator Watari, we have captured the entire poaching gang, and the riotous beast tide has also been dealt with."

Upon seeing Du's arrival, Officer Jenny reported the situation truthfully.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Watari nodded, then turned her gaze to Hunter J, who was tightly bound, and her accomplices.

He was supposed to be stationed in the Kanto region, but after receiving a notification from the League headquarters that he had been on official business in the Sinnoh region a while ago, he brought his Dragonite and rushed here as the League's top investigator.

"Ow~"

Dragonite approached the group bound by ropes with an innocent look and tilted its head.

The henchmen, dressed in gray-black hunter uniforms, lay on the ground in twos and threes, their faces ashen.

The once arrogant poaching gang leader is in a much worse state, currently unconscious with a bruised and swollen face.

For these Pokémon hunters who steal from others, being caught means facing severe imprisonment, and their lives are essentially over.

After confirming the number of people was correct, Watari nodded in satisfaction and took out his communicator to report the operation to the Alliance.

"Hello, my name is Yulongdu. Are you the owner of Baiye Farm?"

He hung up the phone and walked straight to the black-haired youth standing to the side, asking gently.

"Yes, Mr. Watari."

Bai Ye nodded slightly.

This is the second time he has faced a Pokémon world champion, aside from Cynthia.

"Ow~"

Dragonite stretched out its little paw and gently nudged the trainer's shoulder.

"Old partner, you've noticed too?"

Sensing Dragonite's movement, Lance spoke softly with a serious expression.

Based solely on his champion intuition, he could clearly sense that the Gardevoir guarding Bai Ye was even stronger than his Dragonite, and shifting his gaze slightly, Milotic and his master Itachi on the other side were equally formidable.

Not to mention, there was Articuno, who just wiped out the beast horde with a single [Blizzard] move.
