Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

Pokémon inside a Poké Ball are usually in a semi-conscious state, and their perception of the outside world is reduced.

Unless it's a familiar trainer's voice that easily wakes them up, Pokémon usually just feel like they're having a sweet dream inside their Poké Balls.

I woke up to find myself in a different place, but when I saw my trainer there, I felt much more at ease and quickly got into battle mode.

However, there are exceptions; even inside a Poké Ball, these Pokémon are still very sensitive to their surroundings.

A typical example is the Psychic-type Pokémon.

Due to the strength of his mental power, he was still able to perceive external noises even in a semi-conscious state.

Sensing something amiss, Gardevoir emerged from its Poké Ball and used telepathy to read the thoughts of the nearest person, quickly understanding the situation.

Use telekinesis to open another Poké Ball, then call on the resting Umbreon to form a doubles team that combines offense and defense.

Gardevoir takes the lead in offense, while Umbreon provides support and serves as the secondary attacker. Black Sight blocks Alakazam's attempt to escape using Teleport, and Gardevoir uses Aura Strike to stun the thief and picks up several Poké Balls from the ground.

When Ye Luo entered the treatment room, she found that the matter had already been resolved.

Looking at the nurse and Hudi who fainted after hitting the wall, it's probably all fake.

"Have you spotted anyone else?"

Gardevoir shook its head and answered telepathically.

[Only this one is visible.]

Xiao Xu leaned closer and saw the nurse who had fainted in the room.

"The nurse has been knocked unconscious?! We need to call the police immediately."

He turned around and tried to run outside to call the police, but Ye Luo grabbed his collar.

"Where are you going? This is a fake nurse. Tie her up."

Xiao Xu was still confused. He had been busy binding those guys who were confirmed to be bad people into rice dumplings with insect silk, and when he came over, he found that everything was already over.

"Excuse me, is this nurse really a bad person in disguise?"

"Normally, a nurse wouldn't bring a Husky as an assistant. Tie her up."

Xiao Xu thought about it and agreed. The nurses all brought Chansey or Jigglypuff, and Fairy-type Pokémon are better at taking care of others.

Besides, this very strong trainer in front of me just saved me, and he doesn't seem like a bad person. I should be sure to listen to him.

"Caterpillar, use silk-spinning."

The green caterpillar sprayed out a large amount of silk, binding its opponent into a dumpling with only its head sticking out.

Ye Luo looked around the not-so-small space. There was a machine that looked like a medical device, and Poké Balls with their numbers scrambled on the display shelves.

The labels were on it, including the names of the Pokémon and the trainers, but the order was scrambled.

"Little Rada, Bobo, Bell Bud."

These were all Pokémon that could be found in the nearby forest; this person probably glanced at them and then casually put them back.

They clearly look down on these things.

But as she prepared to escape, the Poké Balls that rolled off her body included her own.

They looked down on the Poké Balls of those newbies, thinking they could just grab their Pokémon and run away, but it wasn't that easy.

Ye Luo decided to hand these people over to the local police.

Xiao Xu discovered that among the Poké Balls that had rolled on the ground, he actually found a Newleaf Cat Poké Ball. Its unique leaf mark made it very easy to identify, so he immediately picked it up and asked in surprise.

"Are these people the criminals who stole from the Spirit Center?"

"Most likely."

Ye Luo first confirmed that he hadn't taken the wrong Poké Ball, and the Umbreon next to him twitched its keen ears.

"Aww~ (There's movement)."

Umbreon pointed to a narrow door on the side of the treatment room, where a faint knocking sound could be heard.

The door was locked from the outside. Ye Luo rummaged in the pocket of the fake nurse for a while and found a key card that could open the narrow door.

He slid it into the slot by the door, and with a click, the narrow door unlocked and opened automatically.

"Luck~".

A Chansey greeted Ye Luo, with a somewhat haggard-looking nurse standing beside it. She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Luo.

"Finally, someone's here. How are the thieves doing?"

Ye Luo recognized her; she must be the nurse from the elf center, though he'd forgotten her name.

However, the nurse hadn't forgotten him. Even after changing his clothes, his eyes under the hat were still unforgettable. Every trainer with considerable skill has very distinctive eyes.

The nurse wasn't flustered because she had seen him a month ago.

Before embarking on the journey to Indigo Plateau to challenge the League, they will face a final trial; only by navigating the Path of Champions can they reach the Indigo League.

Many trainers would first rest at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, and it was during that time that the nurse remembered what Ye Luo looked like.

Gardevoir used Psychic to capture the thieves and their Pokémon into the room. To be on the safe side, it reinforced their hands and feet with the silk of Ash's Caterpie.

Ye Luo asked.

"These four people, are they the thieves from last time?"

The nurse nodded.

"Last time, these guys ran too fast, and the police were a step too slow to catch them."

Ye Luo had just seen that the fake nurse was about to give Hu orders, and that the most likely way to escape would be by teleporting.

If the police cannot use a blocking move like "Black Gaze" immediately to prevent the Psychic Pokémon from escaping, they will be able to catch the thieves if they are even a little slow.

As for whether they were really remnants of the Rockets, Ye Luo didn't care. Interrogating them was the job of the police, and they should be punished as appropriate.

The escaped trainer should immediately call the police, and the Viridian City police will arrive in no time.

However, the Pokémon Center is currently sealed off by a sturdy security door, so it will probably take some time for them to come in and provide assistance.

"Gardevoir and Umbreon, well done."

The two top contributor Pokémon nodded in their own way, and Umbreon jumped onto Ye Luo's shoulder and licked his cheek.

A theft was concluded, and nothing happened.

The only one who suffered was the nurse, who said she had been locked up by the thieves for three days and looked exhausted in the cramped space.

Although the jellyfish provided a constant source of nutrition, this couldn't last long.

Chansey's nutrient eggs are not unlimited and will consume the Pokémon's own stamina.

Ye Luo also noticed the boy standing to the side, who looked restless, and wondered if he should say a few words of praise.

"Xiao Xu, you did a good job too."

"I... I wasn't much of a help..."

Throughout this heinous incident, Xiaoxu remained a bystander, offering no assistance whatsoever in the direct combat. The Caterpie was no match for the opponent's gas bombs.

"You tied them up, that's very useful."

Without Xiaoxu providing the silk used to bind people, Yelu would have had to let Meloetta knock people unconscious.

Meloeta's actions were too lenient; knocking the thief unconscious and sending him to the hospital was too lenient. He should have been handed over to the police for thorough interrogation and then faced severe legal punishment.

Xiao Xu lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and covered her face with her hat.

He had only just left home to become a rookie trainer, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thing; he must have been quite confused.

"Excuse me! What's your name?"

Xiao Xu looked up and found that the person was gone.

"Hmm, where are they?"

I asked the nurse next to me for help.

"Just now, when you looked down, he used Gardevoir's Teleport to leave."

Xiao Xu didn't even have time to find out the other person's name, and looked disappointed.

"Does the nurse know his name?"

The nurse crossed her arms and thought for a moment. She had been too busy with work to watch the league games.

"I remember her name was Ye..."

In the Kanto region, many people are called by only one word, and adding "Xiao" before it is also a common name. Xiao Xu nodded thoughtfully.

"Is her name Xiao Ye? I'll remember that, thank you, nurse."
