Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The green fire-breathing dragon immediately flapped its wings, unleashing a sharp blade of air.

It struck the unsteady mosquito coil swimmer with perfect accuracy.

Flight is extremely effective against melee combat.

The mosquito coil swimmer, exhausted, collapsed to the ground with his eyes spinning.

Xia, who was acting as the referee, said to the two, "The winner is Qinglv."

A smile appeared on Qinglu's face after his victory.

"Damn it, Green, you've gotten so much stronger!" Crimson glared at the smug Green with a hint of annoyance.

"Hmph, my Charizard trained alongside my master's Charizard back in the Hoenn region."

"Winning against your mosquito coil swimmer is a piece of cake." Seeing the crimson's humiliated expression, Qinglu's smile grew even brighter.

Xia, who was acting as the referee, chimed in from the sidelines: "Chihong, you were too hasty just now."

"Before using a powerful skill like a water cannon, you must ensure that it hits 100% of the time."

"Otherwise, a slightly longer skill gap will make it difficult to withstand the opponent's attack."

Red nodded and said, "Xiaoxia, you're right. We should have had Poliwag use Mind's Eye to pinpoint Charizard's flight path before unleashing its powerful Water Cannon."

Green said somewhat dismissively, "When your Poliwag uses Mind's Eye, do you think I wouldn't let Charizard take the opportunity to attack?"

"No matter what tricks you use, I'll break them!"

"Just like my master said, once your intentions are exposed, you'll be full of flaws!"

"Damn it!" Crimson wanted to retort, but couldn't think of a reason.

Seeing his old rival so smug.

Crimson looked at Hao Yan, who was sitting to the side chatting with Xia Bo.

He quickly turned his head and ran towards Haoyan's side.

... ...

"Haoyan, rescue and capture Mewtwo so that it doesn't fall into Team Rocket's hands."

"Thank you, Haoyan, thank you..." Sitting in his wheelchair, Uncle Xia, who had just woken up, wanted to stand up and bow to Haoyan.

“Uncle Xia, there’s no need.”

"You've just recovered, you should rest more," Haoyan stopped Xia Bo, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Sigh, if I could choose again, I would never be swayed by the Rockets again!"

"But thankfully, you're here!"

"You not only saved my life, but also captured Mewtwo and saved my conscience!"

“With a trainer like you, Mewtwo is truly deserving of a place in the world…” Blaine persisted, insisting on getting up to bow to Haoyan.

Haoyan had no choice but to press Xia Bo's hand repeatedly, along with Nanami, who was pushing the wheelchair.

Blaine woke up the day after Hao Yan captured Mewtwo.

After he learned that Haoyan had rescued Mewtwo, he would express his gratitude to Haoyan every time he saw him.

Haoyan has been listening to this so many times these days that he's practically worn out.

When Hao Yan saw Chi Hong running over, he immediately spoke to her, changing the subject from Xia Bo, who was still trying to thank him: "Chi Hong, what's wrong?"

Red said earnestly, "Brother Haoyan, I want to become your apprentice and learn Pokémon battle techniques from you!"

As soon as Chi Hong finished speaking, Qing Lü, who had followed him, interrupted him: "Forget it, you can't even beat me, your master won't accept you!"

To be honest, Qinglu was a little scared that Haoyan had agreed to take Chihong as his apprentice.

After spending another ten days or so together, Qinglu realized that Haoyan was a friendly person.

Haoyan answers any questions about combat or cultivation.

Whenever I have free time, I give them some pointers.

He was a little scared that Haoyan would take Chihong as his apprentice.

At that time, he'll have to call Chi Hong his senior uncle!

"I'm looking to become Haoyan's apprentice. What's it to you? You're not Haoyan, so how can you answer for him?"

Chi Hong somewhat 'disliked' Qing Lü, the troublemaker, and then looked at Hao Yan with hopeful eyes.

"You..." Qinglu was furious, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Haoyan, so she could only shut her mouth and remain silent.

Hao Yan understood the two boys' little schemes and said to Chi Hong, "I'm sorry, Chi Hong, we're all about the same age, so let's skip the talk of becoming disciples."

"If you have any questions, you can call me."

Chi Hong was somewhat disheartened after being rejected by Hao Yan.

But more than anything, I felt reluctant to part with it.

Because Haoyan just mentioned making a phone call.

That's right, Haoyan plans to return to the Hoenn region tomorrow.

The Hoenn region's Slateport Gym Tournament is about to begin in a month.

It's time to go back and prepare.

... ...

Chapter 192 Little Lu, Come On

The next morning, Hiroyuki bid farewell to Professor Oak and the others.

Amidst everyone's reluctance, they mounted their Charizard and left Pallet Town.

Head to Rainbow City Airport in the Kanto region and take a flight back to the Hoenn region.

Haoyan was only gone for a short time this time, but in his heart it felt like a long time had passed.

"Alright, everyone come out now." Back home, Haoyan casually released his Pokémon.

"Mewtwo, this is our home." The one who cares the most is the newly joined Mewtwo.

“… …”

Mewtwo looked around, a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

During the time Hao Yan spent with Mewtwo, he noticed that Mewtwo wasn't particularly talkative.

In contrast, she seemed a bit shy.

"Xiao Lu, please prepare the ingredients. I'll cook you a delicious meal later."

"Xiao Ou, Xiao Long, go help Xiao Lu."

As for Bangilas?

There aren't many places in this room where he can go.

Haoyan gave a shout and then took Mewtwo and started walking around the house.

Take him on a tour of the house so he can get familiar with his home.

Under Haoyan's guidance, Mewtwo quickly got into the game.

I got used to it very quickly.

A home is called a home only because there are family members inside.

Otherwise, it would just be a concrete wall.

After preparing dinner, Haoyan ate in the yard with his five Pokémon.

Several Pokémon were wolfing down their food, their eating habits extremely ferocious.

Spending too much time at Professor Oak's place meant that the food he ate was practically junk food for Hao Yan's Pokémon.

When I get back, I'll be able to eat the food Haoyan cooks; that would be truly delicious.

“… …”

Mewtwo looked at the ferocious Pokémon with a speechless expression, as if it were the first time it had met them.

Even Gardevoir, who is usually refined and acts like a 'lady of leisure,' was feasting on the sidelines without any regard for her image.

"Xiao Meng, try my cooking." Hao Yan placed a plate of grilled beef steak in front of Chao Meng.

“… …”

Mewtwo used a fork to pick up a piece and put it in its mouth.

The rich juices of the steak instantly filled his mouth.

It melts in your mouth, filling it with the aroma of meat.

Mewtwo felt that the taste buds on its tongue had been activated for the first time.

"I guessed you like sweet and sour flavors, so I specially made a pork bone soup with mixed bergamots. I think you'll enjoy it."

Haoyan casually scooped up some soup and placed it in front of Chaomeng.

Mewtwo immediately took a sip and found it incredibly delicious!

Delicious food can produce dopamine, which makes people feel happy.

The same goes for Pokémon.

Looking at the dazzling array of brightly colored dishes on the table, Chao Meng's appetite was immediately whetted.

Following the example of Lucario and the others next to him, he began to eat heartily.

Haoyan watched with a smile as Mewtwo joined the 'battle'.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

While indulging in a feast, Chao Meng used telepathy to communicate with Hao Yan.

"If you like it, eat more."
