There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

The man wearing the funny Psyduck mask turned around and covered the mask with his bony right hand.

"Hello again, Shuoya."

As he took off his mask, that unforgettable face appeared in front of Xiaoye.

Ditto also recognized Haxorus and greeted it.

"It's really you!" Xiao Ye asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be in school at this time?"

"Pokémon Professional Research School is not just a school for cultivating nerds. It will also adjust its policies in a timely manner and provide materials for outstanding students in the school to go out and expand their horizons."

"Excellent...student." Xiao Ye murmured again.

I have to say, even though they only spent a short day together, Xiao Ye felt that the name Kitazawa was well deserved.

The students in the advanced class are already a group of gifted people, not to mention that Kitazawa is a genius who spent only one year to climb to this position.

If you just say this, you may not be able to feel his ability, but if you compare, the gap is particularly obvious.

Take the girl that Yokono always boasted about, who claimed to have "defeated the King of Sheba". In the four or five years since she entered the school, Yokono had singled her out as a model student just because she had the hope of being accepted into the advanced class.

In contrast, Kitazawa, who was promoted to the advanced class in just one year, deserves the title of "genius".

At this moment, Kitazawa Lingyou still doesn't know that he is regarded so highly in Xiaoye's heart.

Just as he was about to say hello, his ears trembled slightly.

After hearing some meaningless words coming out of the two unconscious Team Rocket members, he took off the shoulder bag he was carrying, took out a bottle of light pink potion from it, and poured it on the faces of the two Team Rocket members mercilessly like sprinkling water.

In order not to disturb an unconscious person, people often avoid liquids related to "water". After all, when cool water drops slide down the cheeks, unless the person is dead, they will basically wake up in a short time.

But the potion used by Kitazawa Reisuke was different. The moment the potion left the bottle, it turned into mist and was inhaled into the bodies of the two Team Rocket players as their chests rose and fell.

"It's just a tranquilizer. There's no harm in it."

Afraid that Xiao Ye would misunderstand him, he made a special explanation. Looking at the relaxed brows of the two members of Team Rocket, his expression was unconsciously tainted with a hint of disgust.

These little bastards...

Xiaoye nodded and laughed as she watched Kitazawa explain seriously.

He is not a great saint. If Kitazawa and Psyduck had not rescued him in time, he would probably be lying here now, not knowing whether he is alive or dead.

He was not kind enough to forgive two people who wanted to kill him.

However, Kitazawa Lingyou was at a loss as to what to do when he saw Xiaoye suddenly smiling for no reason, and changed the subject in panic.

"Just now, a person covered in mud ran to inform Miss Junsha. They should be here soon."

Someone covered in mud?

Is that Jill?

Just as Kitazawa Lingyou said, the next moment Miss Junsha stopped in front of them on a motorcycle, and Jill, who was sitting on the back seat, quickly got out and ran towards Xiaoye.

"Sakuya, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, don't be nervous."

Xiao Ye let Jill walk around him. He knew that the girl was trying to check if he was injured. "You look uglier than me now."

Kitazawa Lingyou was awakened by Xiaoye at this time and then noticed the girl running over. Just as Xiaoye said, she looked really embarrassed at this time.

The originally peach-pink kimono was now covered in dirt, her face was scratched by branches and had bloody marks, and her white knees were covered in bruises.

"Nonsense, you're no better!"

After confirming that Xiaoye was not injured, Jill breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and started joking.

Xiaoye smiled and stretched out her hands to rub her messy hair, and the beautiful makeup on her face was ruined beyond recognition. If it weren't for the belt that firmly fastened the hakama around her waist, it would have been blown away by the strong wind.

Kitazawa Lingyou's eyes darkened as he watched the two people laughing at each other. Then he took out a handkerchief from his bag and handed it to Xiaoye, whispering, "Wipe your face."

Xiao Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that Kitazawa, who seemed to be unkind, would care about others, but then he obediently took the handkerchief and thanked him.

However, he was not in a hurry to wipe off the makeup on his face, holding the handkerchief that exuded a faint scent of bitter bamboo. Instead, he took out a handkerchief with a Hound printed on it from his bag and placed it in front of Jill.

"You should wipe it off too, to remove the dirt on your forehead."

"Ah...Okay!" Jill didn't expect Xiao Ye to notice her miserable state. She was so moved that she almost cried.

But the moment she took the handkerchief, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if she was being stared at by some ferocious Pokémon.

However, the chilly feeling only lasted for less than a second before disappearing without a trace. Jill, who had been going up and down the mountain all day, decided to attribute it to an illusion caused by being too tired.

After the two of them had simply tidied up their appearance, Xiao Ye took the initiative to reach out and take back the handkerchief, and said to Kitazawa Lingyou, who was hanging his head and thinking about something.

"I'll return your handkerchiefs to you after I wash them." Xiao Ye folded the two handkerchiefs in half and put them in his underwear. "Thanks to you this time."

Kitazawa Lingyou's eyes were cast on the mud on Xiaoye's handkerchief. For some reason, he felt that this large stain was so eye-catching.

So he turned to the person who created the mud and said, "How are you going to take these Psyducks away?"

Oh, that’s right. How can she bring so many Psyducks back to Rain Town safely?

Jill suddenly felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on her thin shoulders.

Fortunately, a Psyduck soon appeared among the group of Psyducks and waved at her.

That Psyduck is...!

"Grandpa Hunter's Psyduck!" Jill felt relieved and smiled.

Grandpa Hunter is highly respected, and his Psyduck has the same status among the Psyduck flock as Grandpa Hunter does in Rain-Praying Town. All the Psyducks in the town will listen to him obediently.

The girl, who was eager to return home, was about to call on Old Pikachu to take the Pikachu ducks away, but a Pikachu duck that was not in the flock blocked the way.

Jill felt a headache when she looked at its familiar movements, as if she had turned into Psyduck, enduring an uncontrollable headache.

"Psyduck, please don't be willful at a time like this, okay? We're all tired."

However, the Psyduck still ignored Jill's words and stubbornly stood in front of them, staring at Xiaoye who was holding two Pokémon in his arms with fighting eyes.

"It looks like it didn't have enough fun."

Kitazawa Lingyou immediately understood what Psyduck was thinking, and explained, "I have also heard about this Psyduck. I heard that it is very aggressive. It will not let passers-by escape its clutches unless they fight with each other."

Jill, who claimed to be a member of Psyduck's family, had her face flushed at this moment. She took a big step and hugged Psyduck's neck, shouting with all her might.

"Psyduck, hurry up and leave! You've embarrassed yourself in front of everyone! Are you going to let the whole city know that there is a bully like you in our Rain Prayer Town?"

With fate locked by its throat, Psyduck quacked loudly and resisted the girl's dragging desperately, but his eyes never left Xiaoye.

"No means no!" Jill had no choice but to look to the old Psyduck for help, and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Hunter's Psyduck, help me persuade it!"

But old Pikachu just shook his head and shrugged helplessly to indicate that he was powerless.

Only then did Jill suddenly remember that what he had just said was wrong.

It should be said that except for the Psyduck in his own home, all the Psyducks will listen obediently to the Psyduck from Grandpa Hunter's home!

Fighting is really dangerous, you can get hurt if you’re not careful!

By then, it will be Peppa Pig that is hurt, but it is her heart that is in pain!

Is this battle inevitable?

"Psyduck wants to fight, can't you see?"

Just as the girl was hesitating and thinking about countermeasures, a cold big hand suddenly grabbed Jill's wrist and freed her hands that were clamped on Psyduck.

"I think the preschool education in Kanto is not too bad. It should have taught simple knowledge like 'respecting the wishes of each Pokémon'."

After being pulled away, Gilben wanted to refute something, but after looking into Kitazawa Lingyou's indifferent eyes, her gaze suddenly calmed down, and her sight slowly moved to Psyduck in front of her.

Although she could only see Psyduck's chubby back, after the tour group came, Psyduck's little tail, which had not been swaying from side to side for a long time, began to sway in a familiar manner again, which reminded Jill of the past.

Back then, she and Psyduck had a very good relationship. So when did the gap between them start to grow wider and wider, to the point where Psyduck regarded her as an enemy?

It seems like...she starts trying to interfere in every battle that Psyduck provokes.

But she really cares about Psyduck!

Couldn't they just go back to the way they were before, where they helped grandma with odd jobs while Psyduck poked its head out to study at the side?

Why does Psyduck always want to engage in battles as dangerous as snakes and scorpions?

The girl suddenly turned her back, and crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks.

She knew she was too sensitive, and her grandmother always said the same thing to her.

But she really couldn't help thinking that Psyduck had been seriously injured during the battle, and that it couldn't even hold on until Miss Joy treated it before its body slowly turned cold.

Just like... Mom and Dad.

Just as the girl was indulging in the nightmarish past, a pair of warm hands patted her shoulders and a voice as gentle as a spring breeze sounded in her ears.

"Jill, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Jill didn't have time to wipe away her tears and turned to look at the boy who was suddenly at a loss after seeing her tears.

"Why are you crying? How about this! Why don't we make up an excuse to take the Psyducks back first. After all, safety is the most important thing. I believe the Psyducks will understand you."

Jill stared blankly at Xiaoye who was racking her brains to help think of a solution. After a moment, she slowly raised the corners of her lips and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"It's okay. Since Psyduck wants to, then I'll trouble you."

Jill smiled generously, turned around and asked the Psyducks to step back, leaving enough space for their battle.

Although she was still very worried about the unexpected events she had anticipated, but...

If the opponent was Xiao Ye, perhaps the things she fantasized about would never happen.

She knew that Xiaoye's love for Pokémon far exceeded her own, and she would definitely show mercy at the last moment.

Just because she didn't dare to climb up the iron box in mid-air, she had no right to question Xiaoye.

Jill walked slowly to stand next to Kitazawa Lingyou, who had already found a position, and whispered among the flock of yellow ducks.

"I'm sorry, you're right, I was indeed too nervous."

"No need to apologize to me. The person you should apologize to is now on the field preparing for the battle."

Kitazawa Lingyou didn't even turn his head, his eyes always following Xiaoye's footsteps, "If you really feel guilty, just stand here and cheer for Psyduck."

"Yeah!" The girl took a deep breath and nodded, her bright eyes cast towards the field.

Come on, Psyduck!

Xiaoye, who was standing in the center of the venue, had also discussed with Psyduck who to challenge.

Psyduck raised its furry duck claws and pointed at Ditto who was lying on Xiaoye's shoulder and laughing foolishly.

That Pokémon with a blue tangerine in its mouth is it!
