There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Late night

"Hey, Xiao Lingyou. I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much!"

"...If you have something to say, just say it."

"Really? You still look so inhumane." The female voice on the other end of the phone said angrily, "I risked my life to tell you the news."

"About whom?"

"Shaurya, remember her?"

"That crazy woman?" Kitazawa Lingyou's eyebrows slightly tightened, "What's wrong with her now?"

"Be careful, Xiao Lingyou." The person on the other end of the phone laughed maliciously, "There are hundreds of them on Honglian Island now..."

"...Bomb!"

The next morning, at the recommendation of the uncle at the hotel, the three of them came to the gate of the institute together.

However, along the way, Shuogu Ye did not find the rigorous atmosphere represented by the research institute. Instead, there were busy vendors everywhere, even in front of the door.

"Well, now I'm beginning to wonder if we've been tricked by the uncle again." Fujino Sakura complained in a low voice, "My head is buzzing after walking here for a while. Can we really do research around here?"

Beside him, Shuoya Ye also frowned as he looked at the eye-catching advertisement posted on the door.

----

More powerful! More beautiful! More well-behaved!

----

Kitazawa Lingyou looked at the smoky and poisonous advertising area in front of him, with an expression of disgust clearly shown on his face.

"My advice is just leave and don't waste your time."

Kitazawa Reiyuu endured it again and again, but finally exploded after seeing the plaque with the words "Research Institute" written in large letters in the style of soda.

"Instead of calling it a research institute, it might be better to change the name to a performance studio. At least it can match the advertisements everywhere."

Sakutani Ye and Fujino Sakura both nodded in agreement.

No one wants to explore the core of this ostentatious appearance.

At just the first glance, the strong commercial atmosphere rushed towards their faces, making them breathless.

Fujino Sakura even picked up her phone to search for other distinctive buildings on Honglian Island.

"You are such a person who speaks nonsense and belittles others at their doorstep. You are uneducated. The institute does not welcome you to enter."

Just as the three were about to turn around and leave, an angry male voice came from behind them.

Shuo Gu Ye looked back and saw a young man who looked about the same age as them, crossing his arms and snorting at them with his nose turned up.

In the sunlight, the teardrop mole under the right corner of his eye looks particularly eye-catching.

Honestly speaking, his looks would make girls scream in fascination, if it weren't for his superior attitude that destroyed the filter.

"Huh? You rude little brat, who are you saying is uneducated?" Fujino Sakura immediately retorted.

"Whoever responds to me is the one who responds." The boy didn't even bother to look at the angry girl and just passed by her. "Why? You didn't even hide from others when you were saying bad things, and you were shouting openly at the door. Do you need me to give you a civility award?"

"First of all, we didn't mean to belittle this institute in front of you. If our conversation just now caused you trouble, I apologize." Sakuya Ye took a step forward to block the angry Fujino Sakura and continued, "But as tourists, we should have the right to evaluate this institute. Secondly, we didn't publicize our views and damage the reputation of the institute. It was just a communication among our partners."

"Not only did you eavesdrop on other people's conversations, you also used unprovoked language to attack them. Who is the uneducated one?"

Kitazawa Lingyou saw the boy take out his ID card from his shirt pocket and swipe it on the gate. The locked door slowly opened and continued, "As a staff member of this institute, you harassed tourists with such a bad attitude. We will definitely investigate you to the end."

"That's right! We will find Miss Junsha and the reporters to expose you!" Fujino Sakura threatened behind Sakutani Ye.

I don't know who said what that touched the young man's fear point. His momentum weakened immediately and his eyes dodged. "Whatever you want, I'm not a staff member anyway."

"Oh?" Kitazawa Lingyou narrowed his eyes and asked, "So this is a stolen ID card?"

"No!" the boy retorted with a red face, "This belongs to me, my father!"

His father's?

Shuo Gu Ye casually glanced at the young man's noble attire and was a little bit unbelievable.

Do the staff of the institute make so much money?

You have to know that most of the hard scientific research work is done by researchers who have climbed to the position of Dr. Oki. Only after receiving a large amount of official funding can they break free from the loss-making research that is not enough to make ends meet.

Could it be that there is a famous Pokémon doctor hidden in this research institute?

Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, Sakuya Ye patted Kitazawa Reiyuu on the back, pulled up his wrist and said, "Then let's just end this matter. We'll take our leave first."

"no!"

The boy retorted without even thinking.

It was not until he met the unfriendly gazes of the three people again that he realized what he had said out of habit, and spoke hesitantly.

"Uh... this isn't a place where you can come and go as you please..."

"The mafia?" Fujino Sakura shook her braids. "Then what do you want to do?"

The young man's eyes moved downwards unnaturally until they stopped at the waists of the three people in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a Poké Ball in a lightning speed, held it in his hand, and raised his chin and said.

"You are trainers with Poké Balls." The boy said, "In that case, let's solve the problem the way trainers do. Let's have a 1V1 Pokémon battle. If you lose, you must apologize loudly to the research institute three times in front of the Pokémon Center!"

"Sure!" Fujino Sakura also took out the Poké Ball, her beautiful eyes burning with fighting spirit, "What if you lose?"

"I can't lose." The boy snorted coldly, "The Pokémon I have are at the top of the pyramid from the moment they were born, not to mention the subsequent training plans set up by professional trainers at a huge cost."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Fujino Sakura was angry at the boy's smug face and interrupted him, "If you lose, run around the institute three times, saying 'This institute is the worst institute' while running, how about that?"

"Of course no problem." The boy responded confidently.

But when Fujino Sakura was about to drag the boy to the Pokémon Center to borrow a battle field, he dodged and said with red cheeks, "No, I don't want to compete with girls, otherwise I will cry after losing."

"Don't worry! I won't shed a tear even if you cry!" Fujino Sakura felt a sharp pain in her temples and said again, "Don't worry about anything else. If you want to compete, just hurry up!"

"No!"

The young man took a big step back as if he had seen a ghost, and under the girl's relentless pressure, he turned around and ran around the two of them without any ambition!

While running, he shouted, "Hey! You two men, who wants to compete with me?"

As soon as the words fell, Fujino Sakura, who had been chasing the boy all over the field, stopped chasing him and instead looked at him with an inexplicable look mixed with sympathy.

Kitazawa Reiyu looked at Sakuya Ye beside him quite naturally, "Do you want to fight him?"

Sakutani Ye paused in secretly recording the video, and naturally put the phone away before being discovered by Fujino Sakura, and smiled.

"Of course. I still say that a good trainer will never miss a challenge that comes to him."

----

"Now we are going to have a battle between Trainer Maruta Kei and Trainer Sakuya Ye. The Pokémon that can be used will be one-on-one, and the battle will end when one of the Pokémon loses the ability to fight!"

At the battle site of the Pokémon Center, a man in professional referee uniform raised a flag, blew a whistle and shouted.

"Then, the battle begins!"

"I don't understand." Fujino Sakura sat on the side of the road and pulled Kitazawa Lingyou to the side to complain, "I clearly told him that I could be the referee. But he insisted on hiring a professional referee and said he was 'afraid we would do something tricky'?"

"It's not a professional competition, is it necessary to make such a big deal about it?"

Fujino Sakura looked at the tourists who were gradually attracted to the surrounding area, propped up her chin and said, "Honglian Island is already hot enough, and now all the people are gathered here, it will be stuffy soon."

"It's just a one-on-one battle. It will be over soon."

Kitazawa Reisuke raised his head to take a look at the Pokémon of both sides in the battle field, then looked away again and typed on his phone.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Xiaoye." Kitazawa Lingyou said without any hesitation, "The winner will be decided in ten minutes at most."

"Are you so confident in Xiaoye?" Fujino Sakura was a little surprised. "Although I also think Xiaoye will win, it's enough to win within 20 minutes."

After saying that, she looked towards the side of the battle field, where there was a Pokémon that was full of energy and had strong muscles.

"It seems that his Abi Lang has indeed been well trained. No wonder he dares to speak so arrogantly."
