There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Xiaoye reached out his hand to hold hers, but they separated as soon as they touched.

But in just such a short moment, a strange feeling came to my heart again.

It was as if a warm current surged from my heart, rushing straight to my brain along my blood vessels.

It was very similar to the gem fragment he had first seen at the Nibi Science Museum.

But that momentary feeling was fleeting, so fast that Xiao Ye thought it was an illusion.

"That's right!" At this time, Yokono used his clever brain to think of a brilliant idea and interrupted, "Since Kitazawa will have a practical class later, why don't we take Sakutani to experience it?"

"can."

Before Xiaoye could reply, Kitazawa Lingyou had already accepted it first, and kindly reminded Yokono, "Teacher, the next class is your practical class."

"Mine?" Yokono suddenly woke up from his dizzy state and ran towards his office. "Kitazawa, take Sakutani to the playground first. I'll go get the tools I'll need for class later!"

Before Kitazawa Reiyuu could respond, Yokono had already disappeared.

----

The calculating man was running on the school's vast playground used for competitions. Even when a student accidentally bumped into him, he did not get angry. Instead, he patted the boy on the back with a smile, signaling him to go to class quickly.

You know, this is the first time that Kitazawa-san has taken the initiative to care about me since I entered the school. Maybe from now on I can use Kitazawa-san's influence to make a name for myself?

The children who can come to the Pokémon Professional Research School to attend classes are all from wealthy or noble families, and basically all the teachers who come here to teach have a backer.

Therefore, in corners that students cannot see, the open and covert fighting and workplace bullying among faculty and staff are quite fierce.

Yokono's last backer had just fallen not long ago, if he could seize this opportunity...?

----

Not long after Yokono left, the atmosphere became awkward.

Kitazawa Reiyuu is not a talkative person, and Xiaoye doesn't know him very well and doesn't know what to talk about that will interest everyone.

In the end, it was Kitazawa Reiyu who broke the silence first and asked, "You should have Pokémon, right?"

"some."

Speaking of Pokémon, Xiao Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had endless things to say.

"Snakey and Ditto, we are the best team!"

Kitazawa Lingyou nodded and looked at Xiaoye, who suddenly had a smile on his face. He was stunned for a moment, and spoke after a long while.

"There will be no battles in the practical class later. If you want to experience other Pokémon, you can choose one that suits you here."

"No need. I still prefer to face strong enemies with Ivy Snake and the others."

Xiaoye declined Kitazawa Lingyou's kindness. Her silver-gray hair naturally fell on both sides of her ears. Her words were filled with determination that no one could ignore. "This is what we agreed on. I will not go against it."

"Appointment... OK?"

Kitazawa Reiyuu put these three short words between his lips and teeth and savored them carefully, but he still could not understand their meaning.

How could any trainer resist the temptation of an unfamiliar Pokémon?

Not to mention that the reason for rejection was just three vague words.

"Yes, this is an agreement." The brooch on Xiaoye's chest jumped slightly, as if responding to the "agreement" he mentioned.

Kitazawa Lingyou looked at Xiaoye, who suddenly smiled, and suddenly felt that at that moment, an indestructible barrier suddenly appeared between them, dividing them into two different worlds.

Before Kitazawa Lingyou could continue to savor the loneliness of that moment, a Poké Ball appeared in the hand of the young man with curved eyebrows. He looked at the palm-sized Poké Ball with warm eyes and smiled.

"Fujifuji Snake, say hello to Kitazawa?"

A dazzling white light blocked Kitazawa Lingyou's sight. When he regained his vision, there was a small green snake on Xiaoye's right shoulder. The vines with emerald green light swayed casually in front of his eyes, showing the perfunctory nature of this proud Pokémon.

"Ivy Snake." Xiao Ye poked the soft belly of Ivy Snake with his index finger and said, "We agreed before, what should we do when we meet strangers?"

The vine snake half-closed its amber eyes and looked into Xiaoye's narrow willow-leaf eyes without fear.

The two sides are in a stalemate, waiting to see who will be the final winner.

What Kitazawa Reisuke didn't expect was that the seemingly arrogant Fujito Snake actually raised the white flag and surrendered before long under the gentle Sakutani.

As the vine snake completely closed its eyes, a soft and tough vine appeared in his palm and wrapped around his wrist.

Snake simply pulled Kitazawa Reiyuu's hand and shook it casually once or twice, as if it was following the instructions of its trainer.

Its other vine quietly passed through Xiaoye's waist and gently tapped her Poké Ball.

"I'm sorry, the vine snake is a little shy..." Xiao Ye looked at the vine snake that disappeared around her neck in a flash of red light, and said apologetically, "but it doesn't mean any harm."

Kitazawa Reiyou could of course see that the strange Pokémon Snakehead was simply too lazy to participate in social activities, so he naturally wouldn't blame it.

But he was thinking about how Xiaoye introduced his Pokémon. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his wrist and a red and white Poké Ball appeared in his hand.

"This is my Pokémon, Haxorus."

As the white light faded, a Pokémon with bright black eyes and a small horn on its forehead appeared in front of Xiaoye.

Hackron!

It turns out to be such a rare Pokémon!

Xiao Ye still remembers that when Professor Oak was fourteen years old, he was looking for a Haxorus to record its physical data. He searched for almost a month before he found the only whereabouts of it.

You have to know that with Professor Oak's authority in the Pokémon world, he must have mobilized the entire Kanto region's Pokémon League to help him find what he needed. In the end, it was only with the help of Dragonite that Master Watari, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, managed to find it. This is enough to prove how precious this Pokémon is.

"This is the gift I got on my birthday." Kitazawa Lingyou said lightly, as if this precious Pokémon had no value at all to him, just like the Rattata that could be seen everywhere on the roadside and was not worth mentioning.

After saying that, he picked up the Pokémon encyclopedia on the inside of his uniform and looked at the time. He found that the next class was almost starting, so he took back Haxorus and turned around to lead Xiaoye to the playground to wait for Mr. Yokono's practical class.

"Follow closely. The mimicry system is still in fog mode. It's easy to get lost."

Xiao Ye followed closely behind Kitazawa Lingyou. Even if he got lost occasionally, he would see Kitazawa Lingyou's figure shining with light from the illustration not far away, guiding Xiao Ye like a lighthouse on the sea. He would not continue to move forward until he saw Xiao Ye's clear and handsome face again.

----

"Hello, students! This practical class is the same as usual, with two people battling Pokémon in pairs!"

Yokono, who arrived late, gathered the few students in the advanced class without even taking a breath, and shouted from the podium.

"Free team formation, grab your Pokémon and get started!"

While everyone was forming a team, Xiao Ye discovered that Yokono had brought a new piece of equipment.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Yokono's glasses seemed to emit a layer of blue light from time to time. But every time he looked closely, he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Those are special glasses that not only protect the user's vision from being disturbed by the fog, but can also display the numerical power of the skills released by Pokémon."

Xiao Ye looked back and saw that almost all the students in the advanced class had formed into groups of two. Only Kitazawa Reiyu was still alone, staring at her intently, just explaining to her the doubts that had just surfaced.

"Kitazawa, where is your partner?"

Kitazawa Lingyou's eyes darkened, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Until Yokono noticed the situation here, ran over and bowed and said, "Kitazawa's partner hasn't come to class yet? So for this class..."

After saying that, Yokono turned his small eyeballs and scanned the crowd. After sorting out the family backgrounds of these students in his mind, he pointed at a thin boy and said.

"You, you will be in a group with Kitazawa today."

"I, I...I?"

The boy who was called out obviously didn't expect this to happen. You know, in the previous few classes, Yokono didn't care about this matter at all!

What medicine did he take wrong today?

"Yes, it's you." Yokono raised his eyebrows and said in a cold tone, "Do you want to question what the teacher said..."

"No thanks, Yokono-sensei."

Kitazawa Lingyou interrupted Yokono's show of power. He turned his eyes to the side, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes, "If I don't have a partner, I will go to the laboratory to study. Please give me a note of leave."

"Kitazawa-san, you don't have to..."

Before Yokono finished speaking, he saw the determination in the eyes of the boy in front of him, so he could only sigh and said, "Okay, you can just go directly, there is no need to go through such a complicated process."

"This time the teacher didn't make the arrangements properly. I will definitely not do that next time..."

"Who said there's no partner?"

Kitazawa Reiyuu paused and looked in surprise at the boy who was walking towards him with a smile.

Xiaoye patted Kitazawa Lingyou gently on the shoulder to comfort him when passing by him, then looked up at Yokono and said.

"Mr. Yokono, I will be Kitazawa's partner."

"But you don't have any Pokémon..."

Yokono refused subconsciously, but suddenly saw a round object in the center of Xiaoye's palm.

This seemed to be the reason he used to reject Xiaoye.

"I have Pokémon." Xiaoye held the Poké Ball in his palm with his backhand and smiled shyly, "But I'm not a trainer."

"Please arrange it, teacher."

----

"Vine Snake, it's time to come out!"

The thick fog obscured the Pokémon released by Xiaoye. At this moment, the two of them were like they were not fighting in the same space. They could not see each other's movements and could only judge the direction of the other party by catching sounds with their ears.

"Charado, come on."

As the Poké Ball was thrown, Charmeleon appeared in the fog with a blazing fire on the tip of its tail.

It seemed to be very familiar with this harsh environment, and stood up skillfully, waiting for instructions from its temporary trainer.

Neither side acted rashly, Kitazawa Reiyuu because he was unfamiliar with the opponent's Pokémon, and Xiaoye because it was his first time competing in a harsh combat environment.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally Xiaoye took the lead in launching the attack.

"Vine snake, vine whip!"

In the sight of Xiaoye and Vinesnake, the burning tail of the Charmeleon became the best beacon in the fog, allowing Vinesnake to attack without hesitation.

"Charmeleon, spin up and use Spark!"

Kitazawa Lingyou's response was to let Charmeleon swing its burning tail, using the power of its tail to splash flames in all directions. Several of the flames splashed onto the vines and immediately burned, being particularly conspicuous in the fog.

"Aim for the burning direction and use jet flame!"

The Charmeleon stopped spinning, quickly locked onto the direction of the faint sparks, and sprayed out flames.

"A 40-power spark and a 95-power jet of fire." Yokono looked at the data coming from his glasses and murmured, "Although the opponent's Pokémon is not recorded in the textbook, judging from the name, it should be a grass-type Pokémon that is restrained by fire-type."

"It can't handle the powerful jet of fire."

Xiao Ye obviously also knew the lethality of fire to Fujin Snake, so he shouted almost at the same time as Kitazawa Lingyou.

"Get out of the way and use Charm!"

In the thick fog, Vineskin jumped high to avoid Charmeleon's fatal attack, then turned in the air. Its right hand slid from its cheek to its lips. As it gently closed its left eye and blew a kiss, a real peach heart was formed and flew towards Charmeleon!

The peach heart splits in mid-flight, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight...

Soon they surrounded the Charmeleon. The Charmeleon's eyes were full of curiosity and it poked the heart shape that was gradually tightening around it.

The next moment, all the peach hearts disappeared. Just when the people who had gathered around thought that this attack called "Charming" was just a bluff, the roar of the Fire Dinosaur suddenly came from the thick fog.

However, the roar did not contain the anger that should be contained in someone being attacked, but instead revealed a hint of...shyness?

"Charmeleon, what's wrong with you?" The first person to notice something was wrong was naturally Kitazawa Reisuke, who was commanding Charmeleon.

At this time, he found that no matter what instructions he gave, he could only hear the Fire Dinosaur's never-ending roar, but could not make an appropriate response.

However, Yokono saw the current state of Charmeleon through special glasses, and he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

The fierce eyes of Charmeleon were filled with love at this moment, just like the second male lead in an old clichéd love story who couldn't get the love he wanted. He was running around in the thick fog looking for the trace of the Vine Snake.

"That's impossible! The power of this move is clearly displayed as 0!"

Yokono was still mumbling to himself, but was interrupted by the anxious voices of other students.

"Teacher, what is that skill? Why is there no relevant introduction in our textbook?"

How would I know!

Yokono was sweating profusely. He seemed to see the scene where Yuto Seidai and other students in the elementary class dropped out of school. If this problem was not handled well, he would probably have to pack up and leave!

"You guys heard about that Pokémon, it's a Pokémon you've never heard of..."

Yokono racked his brains to come up with nonsense. To be honest, he hadn't felt his brain working so fast since he graduated from school.

"So it must be a very rare Pokémon. It's normal for it to have some special abilities that have never been recorded..."

Looking at the eager faces, Yokono continued with a hint of guilt in his heart, "So learning has no end. Everyone must study hard and record more rare Pokémon!"

"Now everyone put your Pokémon back to their original places. We will have a summary meeting later!"

Yokono, who had temporarily gotten away with it, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly stood up to end the fight.

But just as he was about to blow the whistle, the thick fog that had been lingering for a long time suddenly dissipated.

"What's going on?" Yokono frowned, put down his whistle and checked the time. "There's still some time before the get out of class ends. Is the mimicry system malfunctioning?"

As the fog dissipated, the Fire Dinosaur appeared in the playground, entangled in vines but still unable to restrain the rising love and roaring.

The vine snake on the opposite side kept a considerable distance from it, folded its hands and turned its head away, not wanting to look at the opponent's embarrassing appearance.

Just as Kitazawa Lingyou raised his hand to take back the Charmeleon that had completely lost the will to fight and admit his defeat, two familiar voices appeared again.

"Since you are asking sincerely, 'What's going on?'"

"We will be merciful and tell you what's going on!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

"Carry out the evil of love and truth!"

"A cute and charming villain!"

"Musashi!" The woman with long red hair was standing on a snake-shaped machine that looked like Onix. The spotlight that came from somewhere made Xiaoye unable to open his eyes.

"Kojiro!" The blue-haired man threw out a large piece of rose petals from his hands, and they floated in the air in the wind that came from nowhere.

"We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy!"

"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow!"

"That's it, Meow!"

Musashi's emerald green earrings swayed slightly in the wind. She stroked her long hair casually and smiled with her red lips.

"All the Pokémon in the Pokémon Professional Research School will be temporarily kept by our Team Rocket!"
