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

There is a legend about the frost forest leading to Golden City.

Legend has it that on mornings filled with thick white fog, one can see the figure of a white witch walking through the forest.

It is said that she was a woman betrayed by her lover, and in the end, she turned into a white vengeful spirit in the forest.

Therefore, if a couple in love enters the forest, they will be cursed by the White Witch's resentment.

The cursed young men and women will forever be lost in the twilight, wandering in the foggy forest forever.

These legends usually have a horrifying ending, but reality is often quite different.

The woman in the white hat standing before me, Brimwyn, seems to be the witch that people are talking about.

"Speak up, why did you attack us without any explanation?"

"Huff huff..."

Brimwyn lowered his head, looking as if he were confessing, and admitted it in a very soft voice.

"Hoo hoo (It looks like you two are a couple)."

"What do you mean?"

"Hoo hoo (I think I can add fuel to the fire)."

"What do you mean by 'add fuel to the fire'?"

"Whoosh~ (Let the passion rage on!)"

Brimwyn admitted with a smile.

Raya was completely confused. Although they were all Pokémon, he could understand each word they spoke, but when put together, it was incomprehensible.

"Ye Luo, what is this Brimwyn saying? I don't understand at all."

Ye Luo took off her headphones and explained.

"This Brimwyn likes to watch couples in love."

"Phew (that's right)."

Brimwyn nodded, and Ye Luo sighed a little, wondering if this so-called white witch had this kind of quirk.

"They didn't use any offensive moves before, but instead used the [Illusion Beam], probably to make the man and woman see illusions and thus escalate their relationship."

"Hoo hoo (that's right)."

Brimwyn agreed, thinking that this human guy was quite knowledgeable.

After Ye Luo gave a brief explanation, Raya roughly understood.

"I get it. So, Brimwyn mistakenly believes that Ye Luo and I are a human couple 'in love'?"

That's roughly the idea.

"Hoo~?"

Brimwin tilted her head in confusion, not because she felt there was something wrong with herself, but because she thought Raya was calm.

Shouldn't one blush under normal circumstances? It's because the other person is too skilled.

It clearly didn't grasp the fundamentals. Laya transformed, the light around her distorting into the likeness of Latias, and she spoke through telepathy with a smile.

[Unfortunately, I'm not human.]

"Gah—!"

When Brimwyn learned the truth, she seemed to be greatly shocked. She turned her back, lowered her head, and drew circles on the snow with the antennae on her head.

Raya transformed back into human form.

"There's no need to be so sad."

"Sigh... (sad)."

Brimwyn felt deceived; all it wanted was to see what young men and women looked like when they were deeply in love.

It must have been furious to be tricked and wanted to get revenge, but Brimwyn was no match for it, so it could only draw circles on the ground to curse Raya for lying.

"Is this Brimwyn cursing me? Leaf Fall, I can feel it releasing resentment."

"I can't feel anything."

Don't ask him. Ye Luo has no inspiration or superpowers, and he's unfamiliar with this kind of supernatural power.

It seems that Brimwyn only cursed Raya, and since Leaffall is human, it might not be within the scope of deceiving her.

Ye Luo pondered and concluded that this Brimwyn probably liked the emotions of humans in the throes of passionate love.

"Both Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon can feed on emotions, so Brimwyn probably prefers the feelings between men and women in love."

The more intense the emotion, the better it should taste for a psychic Pokémon; there are also Pokémon that prefer a single emotion.

The simplest example is Abbott, who enjoys taking care of humans' daily lives. They are very fond of emotions like "gratitude" and will provide thoughtful services to humans and Pokémon in order to collect gratitude. They will turn these emotions into spiritual nourishment, literally.

While there is insufficient academic support for this, there are instances that suggest that Mr. Mime enjoys bringing joy to people and Pokémon through performances, thereby gaining satisfaction.

"Don't draw circles to curse me!"

"Phew (I'll draw it)!"

While Ye Luo calmly analyzed the situation, Raya had already become close with Brimwyn, who stubbornly used its tentacles to draw circles on the ground to curse Raya.

Although it is also a Psychic-type Pokémon, Brimwyn cannot learn curse moves.

However, if one's mental strength is strong enough, the resentment emitted by a Psychic-type Pokémon can still have some effect that brings bad luck.

This Brimwyn isn't weak, but unfortunately its opponent is Meloetta, so there's still a slight difference in strength.

Raya didn't want to bump into a flying leaflet while delivering messages, so it didn't curse itself.

"Leaf Fall, I feel like its resentment runs deep."

The resentment towards the White Witch for deceiving her is very strong.

We must keep Raya lost in the forest for at least three days before letting her go.

Seeing Raya approaching and begging him to help, Ye Luo felt somewhat helpless.

Latias is a legendary Pokémon, but it's not very strong. Its only strength is speed, and it hasn't fought many real Pokémon battles.

It's fair to say that all of his talent points were allocated to speed.

Normally, the best way to deal with such a stubborn Brimwyn would be to beat him up with Pokémon, but Raya didn't even bother to do it.

Since they've all gone off to be postmen, they naturally don't care much about Pokémon battles anymore, so they can only ask Leaf Fall to beat it up.

When Umbreon stepped forward, Brimwyn, who had just been drawing circles, immediately froze, too scared to move, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Phew~".

It felt like they were bullying it. Umbreon sighed, thinking there was no need to make it fight.

Upholding justice and protecting trainers is a proactive move for Umbreon, but bullying wild Pokémon that are harmless to fallen leaves by the roadside is really uninspiring.

"Aww~ (Should we beat it up?)"

Umbreon barked a request to Leaffall, saying it would give Leaffall a beating if the trainer agreed.

Ye Luo thought about it and had a similar idea.

"Alright, you've worked hard. Umbreon, rest in your Poké Ball."

"Aww."

"Fallen Leaves...aren't we going to beat it up?"

Ye Luo decided to resolve the issue peacefully, as long as it didn't cause Raya such deep resentment.

"Although I don't think it really matters if it harbors some resentment towards you, right?"

"No, you didn't feel it. This Brimwyn's mental strength is quite exaggerated. Just now, I felt resentment being transmitted to me, and I felt a chill down my spine."

Raya felt like something dirty was on her body. She touched her arm, but Ye Luo thought it was probably just her imagination.

However, given Raya's pleading, Ye Luo turned to Brimwyn and asked.

"Can you forgive her? Raya didn't lie to you on purpose. She really wanted to experience human life."

"Phew~".

Brimwyn blinked. Most Psychic-type Pokémon are quite intelligent and should be able to hear what Ye Luo was saying.

Brimwyn then laughed and called out twice, seemingly indicating his approval of the answer.

"Hoo hoo~ (Forbidden love)."

"Huh? What did it say?"

"A forbidden...love?"

Raya was also confused, but Ye Luo thought that Brimwyn really knew a lot.

Even though Raya didn't understand human vocabulary, it could understand it. Then, Brimwyn used its tentacles to pull up Ye Luo's hand and control it to hold Raya's hand.

"Whew~ (Feels good)"

"The leaf falls, and it seems to be very happy."

"Don't ask me. Pokémon is too complicated for a human like me to understand."

Perhaps this is a Pokémon that enjoys all sorts of sweet moments related to romance.

Brimwyn leaned closer and asked Raya.

"Hoo hoo~ (Are you happy holding a human's hand?)"

"certainly."

Raya smiled and answered without hesitation, not seeing any problem with it.

Brimwyn covered her face, her cheeks flushed, feeling a sense of satisfaction as she imagined a whole host of non-existent stories.

The white witch is also wandering through the misty forest today in search of love.
