Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Director Haoyan, do you think I'm annoying..."

"So you don't want me to stay by your side, is that...?"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, giving the impression that she would burst into tears at the slightest hint of agreement.

"No, not exactly..."

"How could I possibly dislike someone as adorable as Director Alice..."

"But Curator Alice has her own things to do, and it's not appropriate for me to bother you any further..." Hao Yan politely declined.

After all, being too direct can easily hurt a girl's feelings.

A sly smile flashed in Alice's eyes. She wanted to follow Hao Yan and learn how he trained Pokémon!

He immediately replied, "That would be great if it weren't..."

"Let's go then, let me be a good tour guide..."

"Following Route 2, we'll soon reach Sanyo City..."

"Sanyo City is much larger than Karakusa Town, and the buildings are much more orderly..."

"By the way, there's a Dream Ruins to the east of Sanyo City. I'm sure Curator Hiroyuki would be interested..."

Alice went on and on, acting like she was a seasoned traveler in the Unova region, that she knew everything, and that she was a qualified tour guide.

Hao Yan smiled helplessly. It seemed that the journey of the Unification was destined to be inseparable from Alice.

... ...

Chapter 606 A Tragic Person, N

Sanyo City, the remnants of a dream.

"Legend has it that this place used to be a research institute."

"For some reason, this place has fallen into such a dilapidated state..."

"But precisely because of its current state of disrepair, this place has become a paradise for Pokémon..."

"It is said that if you are lucky, you can catch the Pokémon Mewtwo, which is unique to the Unova region, here."

The energetic Alice led Haoyan on a tour of the ruins.

The ruins are completely surrounded by high walls, and there are ruins everywhere.

Besides this, you can also see that it was originally a research institute.

There were some dilapidated staircases around, leading down to the bottom.

Just as Alice said, this place has indeed become a paradise for Pokémon.

Every now and then, a few whistle mice and speaker crickets would pass by.

Hao Yan was casually touring the ruins when suddenly Alice ran to his side, grabbed his arm tightly, pointed in one direction, and said with delight.

"Director Haoyan, look! There's a Dreamy Eel over there!"

"We're so lucky!"

Haoyan looked in the direction Alice pointed out.

A light pink Pokémon floats on a rock.

Her eyes were closed, and she had three short black eyelashes.

The head of the Dream Eater is light pink and the body is pale purple, with petal-like wavy stripes.

"What an adorable Pokémon..." Hao Yan said casually.

Because of its attractive appearance and gentle nature, Mewtwo is a popular Pokémon among female trainers.

Seemingly sensing Haoyan and Alice's attention, Mengmengshi opened her eyes.

"So cute~"

Alice clasped her hands together and walked towards Dream Eclipse.

Although most of the Pokémon that Iris uses are Dragon-type.

It's hard not to like Momo, such an adorable Pokémon.

Mengmengshi didn't dislike Alice either, and floated lightly to Alice's side to play with her.

After playing around for a while, Mengmeng Shi seemed to sense something.

With a whoosh, it disappeared from Alice's sight.

"Ah~"

“Dream Eater…” Alice turned around with a disappointed look, only to find a man behind her.

The man had long, light green hair and was accompanied by a Zoroark.

It was probably the aura of Zoroark's Dark attribute that startled Dream Eater.

Who are you?!

Alice spoke up, dissatisfied.

However, the man ignored Alice and focused his attention on Haoyan.

"You must be Haoyan..."

"Hmm..." Hao Yan replied softly, his gaze also fixed on the other person.

This man was none other than...

It is N, the 'King' of Team Plasma in the Unova region, who is known as the 'tragic man'.

N, nominally the king of the Plasma team.

In reality, N has no real power and is merely regarded as a symbol of the Plasma Team's authority and cohesion; he is just a puppet installed by Ghetsis.

In reality, everything about Team Plasma is controlled by Quidditch.

Rumor has it that N is a half-human, born from a human and a Pokémon…

From a young age, N could read the minds of Pokémon.

However, due to Quixote's special 'training', N's personality became somewhat obsessive.

He has always believed that Pokémon are enslaved by humans and wants to liberate all Pokémon.

... ...

"There's a strange aura about you..."

“It’s very special, unlike anyone else…” N’s voice was gentle and hard to dislike.

"You too..." Haoyan said softly, "You came to see me?"

Hao Yan didn't know why, but he felt that N, whom he was meeting for the first time, harbored a faint hostility towards him.

N nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right..."

"I want you to leave the Unova region..."

N's words silenced Haoyan.

I just ran into Quixote a couple of days ago, and now I've run into N.

Quixote was definitely involved.

Judging from N's current attitude, he hasn't realized that Queschi has wolfish ambitions.

After a long while, Haoyan spoke up: "Did Kuisiqi send you?"

N paused slightly, not expecting Haoyan to guess, and nodded silently.

Hao Yan asked again, "Do you trust Kuisiqi?"

N remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "I believe..."

"He...is my father..."

"Father..." Hao Yan sighed inwardly.

N calls Quixote his father, but in reality, Quixote calls N a monster!

Just as Haoyan knew, N is indeed a tragic figure…

... ...

Chapter 607 Alice: This is the serious Haoyan Curator

Haoyan didn't harbor much malice towards N.

They can even empathize with N's feelings.

N was deliberately separated from humans when he was a child, which made his understanding of people too simplistic.

Growing up alongside Pokémon who were betrayed, abused, and harmed by malicious humans contributed to his obsessive personality.

Queschi exploited these characteristics of N to fabricate one lie after another.

He claims to be working to liberate all Pokémon, but secretly all he wants is to control the world.

Despite being crowned king by Team Plasma, the simple-minded and obsessive N was merely a puppet.

Before N saw through Kuis's ambition, N still naively regarded him as his 'father'.

N is not a bad person; ultimately, he is just a tragic figure who was exploited.

... ...

Haoyan withdrew his gaze and looked seriously at N.

He spoke softly, "Since Quesich sent you to drive me away, you probably don't expect much from Zoroark by your side..."

"Have you already gained Czechoslovakia's approval...?"

N was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, making no attempt to hide anything: "That's right... I did indeed gain Zekrom's approval..."
