Chapter 182: A Love Triangle? I’m One of the Main Characters?
"Teacher Jing He, President Gastly, and the three Vice Presidents, have a nice day~~"
At the entrance of the cafe.
After a (three-minute) crash course, Jing He, who was in a hurry, had to leave the store in their hands with a bit of trepidation.
It should be fine, right?
To be honest, though the trio can’t catch a Pikachu, their business acumen is definitely maxed out.
They can make a small stall boom, so there’s no reason they can’t run a cafe.
Besides.
Even if there’s a Pokemon threat, there’s Meowth, the top-notch translator.
And, in the worst case, there’s Gourgeist.
At least it can deflect Kyurem’s attacks.
Actually, Jing He has a bit of a bias against Team Rocket.
But he still has a good impression of the trio.
The reason is simple.
Jesse and James’ love for Pokemon is undeniable.
“They just became official Team Rocket members and haven’t been on many missions yet.”
It’s perfect.
Let them give up the idea of stealing others’ Pokemon.
Even if they can’t stop thinking about it as Team Rocket members, they can just focus on catching Pikachu.
Pikachu is uncatchable, after all.
And it wouldn’t be right to break up Ash and Pikachu’s “love-hate relationship.”
"By the way."
After walking a few steps, Jing He turned around as if he remembered something.
"Teacher Jing He, what do you need?"
"I’ll see if I can ask Officer Jenny to get you temporary residence permits. Prepare your documents, the simpler the better."
The trio’s eyes widened.
They nodded vigorously.
Once Jing He was out of sight, they quickly huddled together.
"Leader, no, Teacher Jing He actually has connections with the Jenny family," Jesse muttered.
"That’s the Jenny family! They’re not much worse than our Team Rocket." James clearly understood the Jenny family’s strength better than Jesse.
"To actually have connections with the Jenny family, nya."
The trio looked at each other.
As long as they complete Teacher Jing He’s task perfectly,
they’ll surely gain Giovanni’s approval, get a promotion, and a raise!
"That’s a great feeling!" The trio laughed foolishly at the same time.
"Soo~ Nan-si!"
"Maybe we can get them to build us a plane. No, a Gundam would be even better."
Arriving at the academy’s counseling room.
It wasn’t training time yet, so Gastly had gone to play with the old lady at the breeding house.
Crafty Forger was practicing "Sword Dance" in a corner.
Fortunately, this move doesn’t make much noise, and the old headmaster had prepared all the necessary materials, so Crafty Forger’s progress was rapid.
He was now working on speeding up the execution of "Sword Dance."
As for Dratini, it was napping on a single-person sofa.
Recently, Dratini’s training load has been the highest among all of Jing He’s Pokemon.
But as the old lady at the breeding house said, with the increased training, especially for Dragon-type moves like "Dragon Rush" and "Dragon Pulse," Dratini’s appetite has significantly increased.
Clearly,
It’s gradually converting the accumulated energy into strength.
Even its size has slightly increased.
Jing He sat in a chair, gently petting and brushing the soft, white fur of Ice Six-Tails.
The wooden comb slid smoothly, barely encountering any resistance.
Ice Six-Tails, with its pale blue, crystal-clear eyes, stared straight at Jing He without a word.
"Your fur is so nice," Jing He smiled.
Although Ice Six-Tails doesn’t realize it’s a fox and not a cat, it doesn’t shed as much as cats do.
This grooming not only massages but also relaxes the muscles.
"Ouu~~"
The little one made a soft, muffled sound.
"Alright, alright~~"
Jing He, like a doting father, shook his head affectionately and said,
"Don’t rush, take your time."
He always respects his Pokemon’s wishes when it comes to evolution.
Actually, Ice Six-Tails isn’t really against evolving.
Although Gengar’s evolution into Haunter set a bad example, Jing He has shown it the form of an Ice Nine-Tails after evolution.
But,
"Ouu."
Ice Six-Tails whimpered softly, sniffing Jing He’s scent.
After evolving, it probably won’t be able to lie on Jing He’s lap and cuddle, or sniff his scent to feel at ease.
That comforting, pleasant scent.
Perhaps because it was too comfortable, Ice Six-Tails closed its eyes, yawned cutely, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Ding—
Jing He’s phone suddenly buzzed.
He quickly picked it up, relieved to see that Ice Six-Tails hadn’t been woken up.
Opening it,
He found a friend request from someone he didn’t know.
【Miss Bamboo’s Daughter】: Cynthia told me to add you.
This was the reason given for the request.
"Miss Bamboo’s... daughter?"
Jing He was taken aback.
The reason for the request was compelling enough.
So after a brief moment of hesitation, Jing He accepted the request.
And soon,
The other person sent a message.
It was a picture.
The picture showed a Dwebble.
Dwebble is a Bug/Rock-type Pokemon, known for its ability to split itself, and is the evolved form of a Bunnelby.
Its final evolution is Klinklang.
However,
Jing He quickly noticed something unusual about this Dwebble in the picture.
Under normal circumstances, the green membrane of a Wobbuffet contains a cell nucleus that resembles a doll. It has no feet, only two hands, and lacks ear-like structures. Instead, there's a separate white spherical structure on its head.
However, in this image, the Wobbuffet's cell nucleus has a pair of small, short legs and more prominent ear-like structures!
Jing He: Is this an evolutionary morphological anomaly?
An "evolutionary morphological anomaly" refers to a Pokemon that, after its first evolution, gains some characteristics of its second evolution. This is a very rare and special case.
Clearly, this Wobbuffet has some features of an artificial cell egg.
Jing He had once seen a Charmander with two horns, while a normal Charmander only has one. The two horns are typically a feature of its evolved form, Charizard.
Upon seeing this Wobbuffet and considering its nickname, Jing He had a good idea of who the owner might be.
Caitlin!
Legitimate lolita! (Stricken out)
Cynthia's good friend and little fangirl.
Zukou's Young Lady: Your observation skills are impressive.
Jing He: Normally, an evolutionary morphological anomaly, although rare, will disappear once the Pokemon evolves to its artificial cell egg form. There's no need to worry too much.
Zukou's Young Lady: That's not what I'm asking about.
She then sent a video.
In the video, the special Wobbuffet was floating in mid-air, but its body was tilted at an angle. It seemed to be vaguely aware of this and tried to adjust itself. However, its efforts were largely ineffective.
It wasn't until a psychic power appeared that it gradually straightened itself out. It was clear that the Wobbuffet was somewhat disappointed that it couldn't adjust itself without help.
Jing He frowned after watching the video.
Another psychic pressure freak!
Nagi is like this, and so is Caitlin.
The difference is that Caitlin's control over her psychic powers is far inferior to Nagi's, likely due to Nagi's heritage from a psychic family with excellent lineage.
Jing He didn't know much about Caitlin's background, only that she was very wealthy and could even hire the head of the Battle Tower in the Battle Frontier, Lily, as her butler.
Of course, it's also possible that Caitlin's psychic potential is stronger than Nagi's, or it could be a personality issue.
Psychic users with overly powerful abilities often have some personality quirks.
Jing He: Your psychic powers are putting too much pressure on it.
Many psychic-type Pokemon are very eager to follow trainers with psychic abilities. When a psychic trainer and a psychic Pokemon work together, they can achieve greater strength. Usually, such trainers can only truly shine in unlimited battles.
But Caitlin's psychic abilities are genuinely too extreme.
They are putting too much pressure on the Wobbuffet.
Jing He suspected that the Wobbuffet's "evolutionary morphological anomaly" was likely due to her overly strong psychic powers.
Zukou's Young Lady: Too much pressure?
Jing He: My suggestion is to give the Wobbuffet enough space and time to rest. Avoid intense training and battles for now.
After a brief pause, he continued.
Jing He: If needed, I can provide soothing audio to help with rest and sleep.
Zukou's Young Lady: There's one more thing.
Jing He: ?
For some reason, Jing He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Did the Six-Tail release some cold air again?
Or did the Gengar come back?
Zukou's Young Lady: Cynthia stayed at my house for three days.
Zukou's Young Lady: She mentioned your name 76 times!
Jing He: "??"
You remember that clearly?
Zukou's Young Lady: You're in for it!
Like you can come through the internet and hit me!
Watch out, I'll have Mewtwo take you on!
Before Jing He could reply, a call came in.
It was Cynthia.
When he answered, he heard a series of thuds and a man's calming voice, presumably Caitlin's butler, Lily.
"Caitlin, calm down, calm down."
At the same time, Cynthia's apologetic voice came through.
"Jing He, I'm sorry, Caitlin is throwing a tantrum. Don't take it personally."
Caitlin: "I'm going to Hoenn right now! Immediately! Right away!"
Jing He's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
She's serious?
"Cough." Jing He cleared his throat and said, "It's fine, I won't hold it against a child."
"Yeah, she was just joking," Cynthia said.
Over the phone, Lily: "The helicopter is on its way, please calm down."
Jing He: "..."
This doesn't sound like a joke!
Why does he feel like he's about to witness a battlefield, and he's one of the main characters?
"Um... will the Wobbuffet be fine with just enough rest?" Cynthia asked.
"Based on my experience, we should start with that."
Jing He looked around.
Should he go hide somewhere?
He continued, "Even if there are other reasons, we need to wait until it's completely calm before making a proper assessment."
Jing He, having conducted hundreds of Pokemon psychological consultations, could be considered a seasoned Pokemon psychologist.
"That's good."
Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, are you going to the celebration in Littleroot Town?"
Littleroot Town?
