Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

"It hurts so much!"

"Stop talking nonsense and put this wig on right now. Wait, where's my wig?"

"Idiot, it must have been burned up by that six-tailed fire vortex, meow!"

"Ugh! This wig cost me 5,000 yen! And it was burned after I only wore it once! Those damn brats—"

"Calm down, calm down, Musashi. The most important thing for us now is to get to the Pokémon Center for treatment as soon as possible. My Koffing burns are quite severe."

"I know, I know, but I just can't swallow this. Those wretched brats, I'll make them pay next time!"

"Shut up! Hurry up! Meow!"

"..."

Then another rustling sound came, and it sounded like someone was changing clothes and putting on makeup.

Kitagawa Yu, on the other hand, immediately realized who the three guys hiding behind the bushes were when he heard the familiar 'meow' and 'Musashi'.

"Tsk tsk, the Rockets? What a coincidence?"

A strange look flashed in Kitagawa Yu's eyes.

After thinking about it carefully, it's not hard to understand why the Rockets would be here at this time.

They were swept into the sky by the Six-Tails' flame vortex and flown an unknown distance. Although they didn't die because the Six-Tails' attack wasn't intended to kill, the flames still caused them some damage.

Especially for Pokémon.

If the fire damage from Vulpix is ​​10 to Jessie and James, then it would be at least 50 or 60 to their Pokémon Ekans and Koffing.

After successfully escaping, they naturally wanted to treat their badly injured Pokémon as soon as possible.

When it comes to treating Pokémon, it's clear that while Pokémon Centers may not be as good as high-end private clinics, they are definitely affordable and offer good quality at a reasonable price.

This is definitely the most suitable choice for Musashi and Kojiro, two poor guys.

However, since they were both wanted criminals, walking openly into the Pokémon Center would be tantamount to getting arrested, so they had to disguise themselves before going in.

As it happened, Kitagawa Yu bumped into him and recognized him.

"These two guys may be broke, but if they get a few months' salary in advance, they should be able to come up with 120 million yen, right?"

Kitagawa Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, a 'wicked' smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

If he remembered correctly, these two guys weren't low-ranking within the Rockets; they were at least much better than those nameless extras, and could receive their salaries in advance.

Later in the story, they even received an advance on a year's salary, which their boss, Sakaki, approved.

This makes things convenient for them.

"Irena—"

Kitagawa Yu's eyes darted around, and he quietly pulled Elena over, whispering a few words in her ear.

A moment later, on the grass behind the bushes, Kojiro and his companions, who were washing the soot off their faces with water and preparing to change their clothes, were suddenly startled by two voices that rang out behind them.

"Don't move!"

"Robbery!"

The two people and the cat instinctively turned around, but before they could even see what was happening, they were struck by a chain of lightning bolts shot from Elena's fingertips, causing them to jump around wildly before finally collapsing to the ground, still emitting black smoke.

"That familiar feeling—"

"—Could it be that brat has brought Pikachu after us?"

"To exterminate them all? That's going too far!"

The two humans and the cat let out a wail, but soon their barely movable eyes realized that the ones who had suddenly attacked them without any sense of honor were not Ash and Pikachu, as they had thought.

"W-who are you?"

Kojiro asked instinctively.

Kitagawa Yu smiled slightly, thinking to himself that they had finally arrived. He then exchanged a glance with Elena and, following the prepared script, deliberately put on an arrogant expression and delivered the lines that were originally meant for them.

"Since you've asked so sincerely!"

"Then we'll mercifully tell you!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To maintain world peace!"

"Carry out love and true justice!"

"A cute and charming champion of justice!"

"Kitagawa Yu——"

"—Irena"

"We are travelers traversing the myriad worlds."

"White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!"

To be honest, although the dialogue was a bit awkward, Elena mainly bore the embarrassment, so Kitagawa Yu didn't feel too bad about it.

Most importantly, seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the two people and the cat opposite them was just too funny.

"These are our lines!"

"Damn it! You guys stole our lines!"

"Meow!"

Kojiro and Meowth were alright, but it was Musashi who was truly devastated when Elaina, who was younger, cuter, and prettier than her, told her that she was 'cute and charming'.

"Arbok! Go and take them down!"

As soon as Jessie regained some mobility, she grabbed the Poké Ball from the ground, ready to summon Ekans.

However, Elena was even faster, instantly casting a hypnotic spell to subdue the three of them.

It's worth mentioning that she wasn't using the mental magic of the Witch's Journey world, but rather the hypnotic magic of the Type-Moon world.

The witches in the world of Witch's Journey don't need to hide themselves. At the same time, magicians are a privileged class and rarely use mind control to control ordinary people, so she wasn't actually very proficient in this area.

However, the Type-Moon world is different. In order to maintain their mystery, magicians there often use mental magic such as hypnosis, and their level of development in this area is higher than that of the Witch Journey world.

Fortunately, Elena herself is exceptionally talented. She mastered the hypnotic magic of the Type-Moon world in a very short time. Combined with her powerful mental strength, even the legendary Pokémon in this world that are skilled in hypnosis might not be able to match her.

Under Elena's control, Kojiro quickly picked up his phone and dialed their boss Sakaki's number.

"Hey boss, it's Kojiro. We've run into a bit of trouble and need an advance on our salaries. It's not much, just a year's salary will do."

"..."

Sakaki, who was on the other side, almost choked on his cigar after hearing this.

However, after a few seconds of silence, he agreed to Kojiro's request, after all, he knew about Kojiro's family background.

In fact, the reason he valued Kojiro and his companion so much, even though the two of them and the cat failed time and time again, was because he valued Kojiro's family background.

Little did he know that Kojiro would soon burst into tears the moment he agreed.

A dozen minutes later, Elena controlled Kojiro and withdrew all of their salaries for the next year, which had just been deposited into their accounts.

Chapter 214 The Sensible Sakura

Then, following Kitagawa Yu's suggestion, Elena slightly altered their memories, erasing the hypnotic fragments and changing them to simple coercion. She then knocked them unconscious and threw them back into the roadside flowerbed.

"Tsk tsk, their salaries are pretty high, 900 million! Now we not only have enough money to buy a Pokédex, but we can also go straight to the shopping district and each buy two starter Pokémon!"

Soon, the group returned to the Pokémon Center with the money and found Nurse Joy.

"Miss Joy, the Pokédex of six Pokémon. We just went back and got the money."

"OK, just a second."

As Joy took out six Pokédex entries, she couldn't help but feel surprised, after all, this was the first time she had ever sold six Pokédex entries at once.

Visually, the Pokédex sold here was exactly the same as the one Ash used in the anime. Kitagawa Yu checked it briefly and, after confirming that the functions were largely the same, first asked Nurse Joy where she could buy Pokémon, and then left the Pokémon Center with Elena and the others.

Along the way, everyone was curiously fiddling with their Pokédexs, even Kitagawa Yu, who knew almost all the Pokémon from the original series.

However, while everyone else flipped through the pages at a normal speed, only Artoria flipped through them at a rapid pace, like frantically mashing the keyboard while playing a game. This made Chizuka, who noticed this, very curious.

"Artoria, what are you doing?"

"Ah, I just wanted to see if there were any lions or Pokémon that look like lions." Artoria looked up and explained, then continued searching.

This made Kitagawa Yu, who was also eavesdropping, smile. He thought to himself, "Artoria really loves lions as pets."

About half an hour later, the six of them arrived at a large store that occupied almost half of the street.

As soon as they stepped through the automatically sliding glass doors, all sorts of Pokémon playing on the artificial mountains, ponds, and tree branches came into view; there were probably two or three hundred of them.

"Wow! So this is Pokémon! It really looks amazing. Look, that horse is on fire!"

As soon as they entered, the group couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although they saw Psyduck as soon as they arrived, they also saw Ash's Pikachu and Vulpix. On the way here, they had seen many Pokémon that weren't in their Poké Balls and were being led around by their owners.

Seeing so many Pokémon at once still made them feel very novel and shocked.

After all, some Pokémon really do look amazing.

"That's a little horse. Its flames won't burn its owner, but if anyone else touches it, they'll get burned just like real flames."

Kitagawa Yu gave an explanation, and then started chatting with the saleswoman in a business suit who walked over.

"These Pokémon are just roaming around freely, won't they get lost?" Elena couldn't help but ask curiously.

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant smiled and explained, "These Pokémon have all been captured by us, and some were even bred in our shop. They are all very gentle and obedient, and very friendly to humans. The situation you described will not occur."

"So that's how it is!" Elena suddenly realized, and then the group followed the shop assistant and strolled around the store with great curiosity.

"This is Bulbasaur, a Grass-type Pokémon. From birth, it has a plant seed on its back, which gradually grows and evolves into Ivysaur and Venusaur. Its common starting moves are Tackle, Vine Whip, and Razor Leaf."

"This is Squirtle, a Water-type Pokémon whose evolved forms are Wartortle and Blastoise. Its initial moves are Water Gun and Tackle. The shell on its back serves more than just protection. Its rounded shape and grooves reduce water resistance, allowing it to swim quickly."

"This is Charmander, a Fire-type Pokémon."

"These three Pokémon are known as the 'starter Pokémon'."
