Pokémon: I have a game menu

Naoki lay on the bed with doubts. Since arriving at Koyuki's house, everything seemed to have become strange. First, Koyuki's mother claimed to be Yuuki Shin, and then Koyuki herself, who felt completely different from when she met her outside. Naoki couldn't tell what the difference was, but this feeling was real and not an illusion.

"Huh? It's snowing?" Naoki suddenly noticed heavy snow falling outside the window.

Gardevoir suddenly ran out of the Poké Ball and looked around vigilantly.

"Gardevoir, what's wrong?"

Gardevoir shook his head and said telepathically: "This snow was caused by Pokémon. It is very strong, but it is not aimed at us."

"A powerful ice-type Pokémon? It's not strange that this place is near an ice cave, right?"

Naoki got up from the bed and said that it was not surprising that there were powerful ice-attribute Pokémon here, but even Gardevoir felt that it was impossible to ignore the powerful Pokémon.

Just as Naoki was about to go to the window to take a look, Xiaoxue's voice came from outside the door.

"Naoki, are you asleep?"

"Xiaoxue? Is there anything wrong?" Naoki was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to open the door.

"I'm sorry Naoki, I need you to leave here right now."

Naoki froze, looked out the window, and asked, "Now?"

"I'm sorry. I'll explain it to you again when I get a chance, but if you don't leave now, it will be too late."

"What's too late?"

"Mom...anyway, please come with me."

"Ah, are you leaving now?" A red and white figure walked out from the end of the corridor.

Naoki's eyes widened instantly. A Zoroark, and it was actually a Zoroark in the Jade-washing form. And it just spoke, right? The voice was still Yuuki Shin's voice. The most outrageous thing was the panel provided by the menu bar. The level of Zoroark was an extremely exaggerated 96.

"..."

"Naoki, stand back." Gardevoir pulled Naoki behind him and looked at Zoroark with a vigilant look. Gardevoir originally wanted to use teleport to take Naoki away, but the snow around him should be the work of the other party. The heavy snow at this time contained extremely strong evil energy, and Gardevoir had no way to use teleportation.

"Gardevoir, come back." Naoki walked forward and put Gardevoir back into the Poké Ball.

The attributes of Xi Cui's Zoroark are Normal plus Ghost, with only one weakness, the Dark attribute. Moreover, given its level, attributes are useless. Gardevoir can't even catch its Shadow Ball.

"Letting your Pokémon go back? This is such a stupid choice." Zoroark sneered, and red and white hair surged over like tentacles.

Xiaoxue, who was originally hiding behind, took action at this time. She walked in front of Naoki and used her body as a shield for Naoki.

"What an idiot! Do you think this human could possibly like you? They only know how to enslave Pokémon, and you're just a Pokémon! Without the transformation ability I gave you, you wouldn't even be able to..."

"He's different!" Xiaoxue suddenly interrupted her.

Under the light from the corridor, Xiaoxue's body slowly twisted and turned into a pure white Pokémon. Its head looked like a drop of water turned sideways, with two ice crystals and some holes on the top of its head, through which its purple skin could be seen. From the two holes, ice crystal blue eyes with yellow sclera peeked out. Its arms that looked like ears hung beside its head, with three small fingers on its hands, and the shiny parts of its arms had patches of light blue. Overall, it looked like a girl in a white kimono.

"Snow Demon Girl?!"

"Look at his funny expression! I told you so."

Naoki shook his head and said, "In fact, I roughly guessed Xiaoxue's identity when I saw you. I was just a little surprised why Zoroark's daughter would be a snow demon girl. As for whether Xiaoxue is a human or a Pokémon, it's the same to me. We will always be friends."

"To survive, you have to tell such a ridiculous lie? Don't you humans only want to enslave Pokémon and use their power to fulfill your own dirty thoughts? Talking about family and friends only makes me laugh."

"There are indeed such people among humans, but the vast majority of people are not like this." Naoki shook his head.

Naoki does not intend to convince Zoroark. There is a large amount of resentful energy attached to the hair of Zoroark in the Jadeite form. This energy will affect his opponent and also Zoroark himself. Zoroark is born with malice and hostility towards others.

"That's enough, Mom. Stop talking. I've been observing him since he came to Aromatherapy City. I know what kind of person he is."

"Naoki, let's go."

Xiaoxue reached out and held Naoki's hand. The snow fairy's hand was not as cold as imagined, but just slightly cold. It felt even warmer than his own hand.

"..."

"Okay, okay, Mom knows I was wrong. Mom was just joking with him. Xiaoxue, you're overreacting! Is the man you like more important than Mom?"

"!"

"Hmph, you're angry because of shame! Well, I won't say anything more. It snowed all night, and I'm tired too. I'm going to rest first. You guys should also rest early."

"..."

After Zoroark left, the surroundings fell into silence, with only the whistling sound of the wind and snow falling on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Naoki, I lied to you from the beginning, and I put you in danger."

"I don't care about that! Nothing happened, right? Besides, we are friends!"

"Thank you."

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxue, how did you learn human language?"

Apart from Meowth from Team Rocket in the anime, this is the first time Naoki has seen a Pokémon that can speak human language, including Zoroark and Koyuki. Although Gardevoir can communicate with people through telepathy, it cannot really speak human language after all.

"Actually, my father is a real human being..."

Naoki was stunned. A human married Zoroark? Wasn't Xiaoxue's father a fictional character?

"Let's talk about these things tomorrow! Mom almost scared me to death today. Naoki, you should go to bed too."

"But you kept holding my hand..."

"!"

The first half of the snowy night ended in such a strange way. With mixed feelings, Naoki released Gardevoir and explained a little. After being scolded by Gardevoir, the latter finally calmed down. After the anger dissipated, the suppressed jealousy followed. Obviously, the stingy Gardevoir could not accept the overly intimate contact between Naoki and the Snow Fairy, and insisted to sleep together tonight.

As a human, Naoki obviously has no way to resist a Pokémon with such a tough attitude.
