Chapter 259: Voltom: This isn't the Kindergarten Bus!
Chapter 259: Voltom: This isn't the Kindergarten Bus!
Sakura Institute.
This was an old mansion with a large courtyard, resembling an abandoned castle from the outside.
According to rumors, after Dr. Sakura became a professor, he transformed this place into his research institute.
The internal facilities were almost complete, and although the courtyard wasn't as extravagant as Professor Oak's garden, it was still much larger than the garden at Dr. Bratanos' research institute.
Jing He couldn't help but marvel at this.
Each Pokemon Professor seemed to be quite wealthy.
At this moment, Professor Sakura, Kyoka, Renshi, Jing He, and their Pokemon were all gathered here.
Professor Sakura was connected to Voltom and the equipment previously placed outside the Unmanned Power Plant, transferring the data he had just collected, especially that of Thunderbird and Water Kami, into his database.
As for the two Pokemon hunters, Star and Maya, they had been taken away by the late-arriving Miss Junsha.
When Miss Junsha saw the two hunters, she was quite surprised.
Their reputation was not small; they were notorious Pokemon hunters specializing in capturing powerful or extremely rare Pokemon, not just wild ones but also those already tamed by trainers.
However, when Miss Junsha learned that Jing He had captured them, she wasn't surprised anymore.
In fact, after apprehending the two hunters, she even took a commemorative photo with Jing He.
Under Jing He's influence and the success of his "Siege Team," the Junsha clan's strength had grown significantly, and their success rate in combating criminals had also improved. This earned Jing He a considerable reputation within the Junsha clan.
Jing He also asked Miss Junsha to notify him if they could gather any information from these two Pokemon hunters.
Jing He despised Pokemon hunters.
Miss Junsha naturally had no objections to this.
It wasn't a secret within the Junsha clan that Teacher Jing He was a consultant for the Hoenn League's investigators.
After arriving at the Sakura Institute, their attention turned to Voltom.
Voltom, a Plasma Pokemon with Electric and Ghost-type attributes, was the only known Pokemon with this unique combination of attributes.
It was also a very special Pokemon.
Voltom could enter various electrical appliances, gaining different abilities, moves, and even attributes.
For example, if Voltom entered a lawnmower, it would transform into a Cutting Voltom with Electric and Grass-type attributes and could use the Grass-type move Leaf Storm.
If it entered a refrigerator, it would become an Icy Voltom with Electric and Ice-type attributes and could use the Ice-type move Blizzard.
Additionally, it could also enter a microwave, washing machine, or fan, transforming into a Heating Voltom, Washing Voltom, or Rotating Voltom, respectively, and mastering the Fire-type move Overheat, the Water-type move Hydro Pump, and the Flying-type move Air Slash.
In the entire Pokemon world, Voltom was likely the only Pokemon capable of changing its form and attributes by entering different electrical appliances.
Moreover, Voltom could enter various other electrical devices, such as phones, Pokedexes, and drones, in addition to the appliances mentioned.
Unlike Multiplier, which required an information network, Voltom could enter any electrical appliance.
In the early days before Voltom became widespread, this Pokemon was considered quite rare.
In the Sinnoh Region, Akatsuki, the leader of the Galactic Team, had befriended a Voltom when he was young. Later, Pluto, also from the Galactic Team, hid that Voltom, intending to conduct research and claim it for himself.
But eventually, Voltom became ubiquitous.
It became a Pokemon that almost everyone had.
Whether it was the Voltom Phone or the Voltom Pokedex.
Later, Voltom Island even appeared, home to a large number of Voltom Pokemon.
It became a typical tool-type Pokemon.
However, when Jing He first saw Voltom, the first thing that came to mind was "Bird Egg Machine Swamp Steel." The memories of the "torture" were still vivid.
"Volto~"
After Professor Sakura finished collecting the data, Voltom re-entered the phone.
Jing He's vision displayed the Pokedex information of this little guy.
Voltom
Attributes: Electric, Ghost
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Phantom Fire, Thunder Web, Shadow Clone, Scary Face, Strange Light, Charge, Thunder Wave, Misfortune, Substitute, Pain Split, Switcheroo.
Just looking at the moves Voltom knew, one might mistake it for Gramps' second evolution if they didn't consider its appearance.
Well, no, with its Levitate ability, it felt even more like Gramps.
Gramps: What, I've been Substituted?!
Especially after seeing the move Switcheroo, Voltom seemed like a Pokemon with a lot of "love."
"Voltom isn't good at battling; it has a little quirk—it loves taking photos," Professor Sakura said with a smile.
Loves taking photos?
That's perfect for Gastly!
As for its battling skills, it doesn't matter as long as it's dirty—ahem.
Tool-type Pokemon just need to do what they're supposed to do.
"This Voltom entered my phone by itself when I and Professor Oak went to Voltom Island to collect Pokemon information. I didn't tame it, but it helps me with information gathering."
Professor Sakura continued, "Jing He, you haven't tamed your sixth Pokemon yet. It might be able to help you learn more about Pokemon or inform you about their habitats."
Jinghe thought of something else. Perhaps Voltom could fix the broken rowboat.
Additionally, with only five Pokemon, he couldn't participate in the Quartz Conference. Maybe Voltom could temporarily fill that spot?
Moreover, if at home, Voltom could help with chores like mowing the lawn, doing laundry, and mopping the floor.
A true Tool Pokemon.
Regarding the sixth Pokemon, Jinghe had been facing some financial pressure lately, especially after buying the Ice Stone.
On another note, he remembered the Pokemon the Headmaster had promised, which should be more normal, having come from the School Nursery.
At least, in terms of character, it should be trustworthy.
As for Voltom, it might be more useful as a tool.
However, that would depend on Voltom's opinion.
Seemingly understanding Jinghe's intentions, Dr. Sakura looked at Voltom, who had once again retreated into the phone, and asked, "Voltom, Jinghe is an exceptional Trainer. What do you think?"
If Voltom wasn't willing, not only Jinghe but even Dr. Sakura wouldn't force it.
"Beep beep, Voltom?"
Voltom didn't answer his question. Instead, it emerged from the phone and tilted its head, examining Gramps curiously.
How does this guy always manage to find the camera no matter what?
Even when the filming position was switched, Gramps remained in the center position.
Unbelievable, Voltom couldn't comprehend it! But at the same time, it felt curious.
As if it had found its life's direction and purpose.
"Voltom," Jinghe said with a smile.
"Vol...tom?"
Voltom turned to Jinghe, looking slightly confused.
What are you talking about?
Jinghe's eyes twitched, and he continued, "I don't need you to battle. You just need to help with some small tasks."
"For example, providing information about Pokemon or doing some simple chores within your capabilities."
"Of course, if you enjoy taking photos, you can do that anytime."
Voltom's expression changed to one of realization.
It remembered.
This person had just fearlessly confronted the Thunderbird, a true badass.
Jinghe smiled faintly and said again, "Please, Voltom."
"Vol...tom?"
A strange blush appeared on Voltom's face, and it nodded slightly while twisting its body.
He...he's asking me?
Jinghe was taken aback by this reaction.
Dr. Sakura, standing nearby, explained, "This Voltom isn't very good at refusing others."
A question mark appeared above Jinghe's head.
Not good at refusing others?
Images from low-budget movies flashed through his mind. Wait a minute!
So, Dr. Sakura, is this how you've been 'freeloading' Voltom's services?
I never expected this from you, Dr. Sakura!
Clearing his throat, Jinghe refocused his thoughts and gaze on Voltom, speaking earnestly, "I know you like taking photos, so if the opportunity arises, I might be able to introduce you to the greatest photographer in the entire Pokemon world!"
"Vol...tom?!"
Upon hearing this, Voltom was so shocked that it jumped, looking at Jinghe with disbelief.
Could it be true, Voltom?!
Even Dr. Sakura looked at Jinghe in surprise.
Does Jinghe have such connections with the greatest photographer in the Pokemon world?
But upon further thought, just because Dr. Sakura was single-mindedly devoted to Pokemon research didn't mean Jinghe was the same.
These words struck a chord with Voltom.
Moreover, it was genuinely curious about Gramps's 'concept' ability.
Combining these factors.
And without the need for battles, just completing the tasks, "Vol...tom!"
Voltom nodded solemnly at Jinghe.
After Jinghe took out the Luxury Ball, Voltom immediately dove into it.
Thud!
The light on the Luxury Ball flickered once and then stopped.
Voltom was caught!
"Vol...tom~"
Without even opening the Luxury Ball, Voltom floated out on its own.
Great.
Now they had another Pokemon that didn't require unlocking the door to enter.
And it seemed it could do more than just open doors; even safes? But since Voltom's hobby was photography, it probably wouldn't hang out with Gramps and the others.
"Hngga~!"
Seeing Voltom being caught, Gramps happily took out his phone from his mouth.
Voltom immediately dove into it.
But the next second—
"Vol...tom?!"
Voltom emerged from Gramps's phone, its eyes wide with fear.
This...this phone is messed up!
"Hngga?"
Gramps scratched his head.
What's wrong? What's the problem?
Jinghe's mouth twitched.
Probably because of the 'electronic pet' Gramps was raising?
"Come here," Jinghe said, taking out his phone.
Voltom, still shaken, glanced at Gramps's phone one more time before entering Jinghe's phone.
However—
"Vol...tom!"
This time, Voltom didn't even fully enter Jinghe's phone before it rushed out again.
Or rather, it was ejected.
Voltom's face was filled with 'despair.'
This phone is even scarier!!
The three of them, Dr. Sakura, Jinghe, and Voltom, looked at each other in confusion.
What the heck just happened?
"Vol...tom. (PД`q。)·。'゜"
This isn't the kindergarten bus, Voltom!
