There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

After leaving Kacha Town, Shuoya Ye and his group, who were heading towards Qianhong City, stopped in the forest again.

Fujino Sakura looked at Kitazawa Reiyuu who was concentrating on studying a watch, and looked at Sakutani Ye who was cooking in a pot.

After a while, she held her chin and sighed.

Why do I feel like everyone has something to do, while I am the only one who is just eating and waiting to die like a parasite?

Fujino Sakura turned her head and stared into the distance, recalling what happened a few days ago.

When they left Kacha Town, King Dutian came specially to "see them off".

It’s not actually accurate to say that he gave it to her. He just came hurriedly, threw a watch to Xiaoye, and then turned around and left without stopping.

She curled her lips, as if recalling the almost identical watch on King Dutian's right wrist.

Is it the same one? When did Xiaoye become so close to Du Tianwang? What important plot did she miss?

After a while, she shook her head and quickly slapped her face to make herself sober.

Then his eyes wandered over several freely moving Pokémon, and he quickly reached out and picked one up.

Lalulas shuddered, looking up at the smiling girl with a confused look on his face.

"Laltlas—" Fujino Sakura stroked its head and asked softly, "Are you feeling sad? You have failed in battles with other trainers."

Lalulas blinked rapidly, then slowly lowered his head and remained silent.

Sakuya Ye took the time to look back at the Pokémon who seemed to be deeply shocked, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Yes, just as Fujino Sakura said.

Since leaving Kacha Town, he has encountered many trainers who have kindly invited him to a battle.

In order to improve their tacit understanding, Shuoya Ye naturally accepted the challenge mainly with his new partners Ralts and Gengar.

Gengar replaced Psyduck and remained in Sakuya's current lineup.

However, considering that there might be more and more partners in the future, Shuoya Ye made a suggestion.

That is to hold a random draw every week to decide which Pokémon will return to the Oak Laboratory to rest for a while and which Pokémon will stay with Sakuya Ye and continue the journey.

In the first draw, Psyduck picked up the lot with the bottom marked in red under the sympathetic gazes of the other Pokémon.

But it does not feel sad at all, instead it is eager to try.

After all, in its few memories of going to the Oak Laboratory, there seemed to be countless powerful Pokémon in its backyard.

But Psyduck is ready to fight, and has long wanted to compete with these Pokémon.

If there hadn't been so few Pokémon that could protect trainers at the time, it would have wanted to ask Sakuya Ye eight hundred years ago to allow it to go back to the Oak Laboratory more often so that it could have a good fight with those Pokémon.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, Psyduck gladly accepts it and is happily taken away by Professor Oak.

Professor Oak's expression, which was a little tired due to hard work for a long time, also became a little excited.

The issue of Psyduck's super powers has always been a stone weighing on his heart.

Now he finally had the opportunity to thoroughly observe and study Psyduck, and it turned out to be just as he wished.

So, Professor Oak and Psyduck looked at each other tacitly, and saw expectation in each other's eyes.

Well, as for how Psyduck, who later successfully became the devil in the Oak Laboratory, added fun to the old man's life, I will not go into details.

Back to the topic, Gengar showed strength beyond other Pokémon in the battle.

Shuo Gu Ye couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the Scyther losing its ability to fight after just one hit.

Not to mention that when fighting against the Queen of Flowers, he condensed several ghost fires that floated in the air with a dark purple light, and severely injured the confident Queen of Flowers with one blow.

Afterwards, Gengar proudly patted his chest and explained with words and pictures.

It is an old Pokémon that has lived for hundreds of years! The longer it lives, the stronger it is!

Gengar raised his right arm and tensed it like a bodybuilder flexing his muscles.

Time is the ladder of strength!

As for those strange ghost lights...

Gengar tilted his head in confusion and asked sincerely.

Don't other ghost-type Pokémon have this ability?

After receiving a positive response from the trainer, it took a small step back in surprise.

Huh?! But the ghost-type Pokémon in Lavender Town can do it...

wrong!

Gengar rolled his eyes and shook his head.

They don't seem to come when they are born...

It seems that...

Gengar's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized.

Gastly taught them!

After getting the answer, Sakuya Ye gently patted the spikes on Gengar's back, and took out the Pokémon Pokémon Dictionary hidden in his left hand behind his back, and handed it to the trainer of Tyrannosaurus who was also humbly learning.

Sakuya Ye still remembers the shocked expression on the trainer's face when he apologized to her.

He frantically turned out all his pockets and put the Pokémon encyclopedia away in a daze.

...seems to be frightened by Gengar's stealing skills without anyone noticing.

Shuoya Ye scooped the soup with a spoon, and his sigh mixed with the hot steam floating above the pot.

Bad habits developed over a long period of time are not easy to change. He and Gengar need to work harder to overcome them.

As for Lalu Las, it is even more of a headache.

Because whether it is facing a child holding a butterfly net or an elite man with reflective glasses, it will be a miserable defeat without any suspense.

That's not to say its power is bad.

After all, as a Pokémon that can use super powers to control its opponents, Ralts's strength should not be underestimated.

But it seems that compared to the total crushing of superpowers, Lalulas prefers close combat with fists and flesh.

So much so that when it approaches the opponent, as its super power relaxes, the opponent will always break free in time and use skills to counterattack.

Having lost her superpowers and being backlashed, Lalu Las naturally had no ability to resist these skills and was defeated instantly.

So much so that Lalulas was sitting under a tree, hesitantly raising his hands, clenching his fists and then unclenching them.

He didn't even notice that some of the Pokémon food placed in front of him was eaten by Ditto, and he hung his head in frustration.

"If Lalulas can use his super powers flexibly, he should be able to defeat his opponent."

On the other side, the three people gathered together and began to discuss in a low voice.

"Compared to other newly born Pokémon, the superpowers it possesses are definitely at the top of the pyramid."

Kitazawa Reiyuu took a small bite of a piece of sushi and continued.

"But I don't think it failed because it lacked knowledge of its superpowers and couldn't make use of them. On the contrary, it knew how to control this power better than any other Pokémon."

He glanced at the two people who were staring at him and pointed his index finger at a tree not far away.

Shuoya Ye looked in the direction he pointed.

One by one, the Pokémon food is flying from the food plate under the influence of super powers and falling steadily into the mouth!

Even during this process, Lalulas didn't even raise his eyes!

"really..."

Shuoya Ye withdrew his gaze and stirred the egg custard with a silver spoon in an annoyed mood.

He sighed slowly and put the food into his mouth.

"Maybe this is just its choice..."

"But this won't work, right?"

Fujino Sakura lost her appetite as she looked at the egg custard in Sakutani Ye's hand that had lost its shape and became difficult to swallow, and put down her chopsticks.

"After all, Xiaoye is a trainer, and Ralts in this state is simply not suitable for battle."

Shuoya Ye shook his head, "That's not a problem."

He turned again to look at Lalulas, who still hadn't moved, with a look of worry on his face.

"The main thing...Lalulas wants to win, so many failures have caused it serious trouble."

"Yeah." Fujino Sakura was at a loss, and rumpled her hair into a bird's nest in annoyance. "Isn't this a vicious cycle? If you want to win, you will continue to fight, and if you fight, you will lose. If you lose, the psychological burden will increase, and then you will want to win even more to prove yourself."

Shuoya Ye nodded. This was exactly the situation he was worried about.

But he soon put aside his worries and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. The bridge will be straightened out when it reaches the bow. As a trainer, you have to overcome problems together with Pokémon."

Shuoya Ye picked up a piece of cake and changed the subject, "According to the map, we will soon be out of this forest."

"real?!"

Fujino Sakura suddenly came alive, eyes shining, "Ah! Can I finally sleep on a soft bed again?!"

"Maybe." Shuo Gu Ye said with a smile, "Because the exit of the forest is a well-known film and television base, I don't know if there is a hotel there that can provide accommodation services."

"Film and TV base?"

"It is known as the 'Hollywood' of the Kanto region." Kitazawa Lingyou wiped his mouth and continued, "Many famous TV series and movies were filmed here, such as "Rome Snake and Julie Monkey", "My Love from Tokiwa Forest", "Kanto Girl's Guide", etc."

"Wow!" Fujino Sakura exclaimed, and said excitedly, "I have seen all of these! Especially Abe Snake who played Romy Snake! He was the sweetheart of my childhood!"

Shuoya Ye chuckled upon hearing this, "Then let's speed up and go catch up with our childhood memories."

----

Unexpectedly, not long after Shuo Guye and his companions stepped out of the forest, they were surrounded by people.

They called themselves [Directors] and sincerely invited several people to participate in the filming.

"No, it's not——"

Fujino Sakura avoided the flashing camera, raised her hands to cover her ears, trying to block out the devilish voice that pierced her ears, "She looks good on camera, she's a good potential actress," and shouted.

"We are trainers! Not actors! Please make way!!"

After these words were spoken, all the directors gathered here were silent for a moment, looked at each other, and then laughed while holding their stomachs.

One of the men, who was wearing a hat, shouted, "Stop pretending! We know you!"

"Know us?"

Shuoya Ye pointed at himself in shock, and after getting a positive answer, he was so surprised that he forgot to move.

"How is that possible?" Fujino Sakura shook her head and retorted, "You must have recognized the wrong person. We are not celebrities."

"Hey, aren't you Fujino Sakura?" The uncle immediately became anxious when he heard it, and quickly pointed at Sakuya Ye and said, "Sakuya Ye! Aren't you?"

His eyes moved around, finally stopping at the young man with extraordinary temperament, and tentatively asked, "Are you... the masked man? You are so handsome, but you don't show your face, it's a rare talent!"

The uncle slapped his thigh hard, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you give this face a close-up?!"

They actually know each other!

Shuoya Ye took a deep breath as he watched the directors nod in unison.

What's happening here?

"You, you..." The usually articulate Fujino Sakura was tongue-tied and stuttered, "How do you know our names?"

The uncle raised his eyebrows which were covered by his hat, and said with an expression of dissatisfaction that his professionalism was questioned.

"How come you don't know each other? You guys are so popular now!"

The directors around him added in unison.

"Exactly. How successful was Cool's press conference? Who in the whole city doesn't know you guys now?"

"Although I didn't get a response to my invitation to Mr. Izumi, I was able to meet you! This must be God's will, right?"

"Hey, do you really know magic? I have a movie called "Phantom Thief Meow Meow", are you interested in playing some important supporting roles? Don't worry, the pay is easy to negotiate!"

----

It was not until this moment that Shuo Gu Ye understood the whole story.

The three people who had never thought that the Cool Music press conference would be so successful were obviously at a loss when faced with the star-like treatment. They refused and backed away.

Just as they were about to retreat to the edge of the forest, a female voice came from beside them.

"Hey, I actually ran into this handsome guy again here?"

This sound awakened Shuoya Ye's memory, and he looked towards the source of the sound.

A pretty figure wearing a tight sports vest and shorts walked towards us slowly, and every step she took outlined her healthy figure.

Her tan skin revealed a warm smile, and her high ponytail swayed gently behind her head as she walked.

"Hey, remember me?"

The woman first set her sights on Kitazawa Reiyuu, who was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The dark shirt sticks tightly to the boy's body due to the hot temperature, and his faintly revealed muscle lines are vigorous and powerful, and the breath of youth is overwhelming.

His lips were tightly pursed, as if he could no longer endure the offense of this noisy crowd.

Those deep eyes once again caused ripples in the woman's heart, which had long been calm.

But the woman's gaze, which seemed to be real, couldn't even get a glance from the boy. She withdrew her gaze in disappointment and looked at the other boy whose eyes suddenly widened.

Sakuya Ye is as cute as Jigglypuff.

Sure enough, he called out her name as expected.

"Ms. Nadeshiko?!"

"Hi, we meet again."

Nadeshiko winked, patted Sakutani Ye's shoulder boldly, and spoke to the other directors who were already looking embarrassed.

"Let's go, we are old acquaintances." Fuzi pulled Sakutani Ye closer to her as if to show ownership and raised her chin.

"I'm going to film Spicy Hot, and I need someone who can take on the role of a good-looking person, so... I'm sorry."

People who have been in this industry for a long time know the importance of interpersonal relationships.

Seeing that Nadeshiko was indeed acquainted with them, the directors, knowing that there was no hope, quickly shook their heads and dispersed.

Nadeshiko nodded with satisfaction, lowered her head slightly, stuck out her tongue, and whispered into Sakuya Ye's ear, "Shh, I know you don't want to make a movie. This is just an excuse, I'll send you off in a minute..." and left

The woman paused for a moment, as if she noticed some hard-to-ignore gaze fixed on her.

She raised her beautiful eyes, and they happened to meet the boy's dark pupils.

Fuzi's heart skipped a beat and her breathing became rapid.

"Of course, if you want to visit here, that's fine too. I'll show you around!"

Only after he saw the hand being pulled away from the boy's shoulder did Kitazawa Reiyu's expression relax.

He didn't even notice the woman's blushing cheeks, he just walked to the boy's side, slowly lowered his head and put his lips close to her ear.

His breathing became light and his voice was low and soft.

"What do you think?"

The tip of Shuoya Ye's ear moved sensitively, and the slight warmth made his ear feel slightly itchy.

"It's all right..."

Shuo Gu Ye tilted his head slightly, looked at the majestic gate and the quaint teahouse visible through the gap in the door, raised his hand and rubbed his hot earlobe awkwardly a few times.

"Let's go in and take a look. Since we are here, we should not let Miss Nadeshiko down."
