Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

It feels so good to be protected!

Yes, it's really great!

Seeing that the little fire dragon was alright, Hao Yan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"You...you!"

It took Haoyan a long time to finally manage to utter this sentence.

I was a little annoyed, but mostly I was happy that Charmander was alright.

Lucario and Gardevoir also came over and were relieved to find that Hao Yan and Charmander were alright.

Lucario was exhausted after a round of battle.

He lay on the ground resting, completely disregarding his appearance.

Gardevoir, who is always very clean, was sitting on the dusty ground.

Her small hands gently encircled Haoyan's waist, and her head rested softly beside him.

"Today is going by so slowly!"

"But thankfully, it's finally over." Hao Yan sighed as he looked at the three Pokémon beside him and the darkening sky.

Chapter 67 The Temptation of Going Home

Even after dealing with the Rockets, there are still some clean-up tasks to be done.

First, I checked Charmander, then Lucario, examining their injuries one by one.

Charmander is unusually strong, perhaps because it's a Shiny Pokémon.

Even after taking a blast of Houndoom's flames, it didn't suffer much damage.

On the contrary, it took Lucario quite a while for his body temperature to return to normal.

After dealing with the two Pokémon, Hao Yan turned his attention to the Houndoom that had just battled his Pokémon.

Haoyan used wound medicine to spray on the two Houndooms to help them heal.

I crushed a small piece of vitality fragment, mixed it with water, and fed it to them to help them repair their internal injuries.

Fortunately, the battle didn't last long, and Heru didn't remain in a berserk state for very long.

There was not much damage to them.

Under Haoyan's care, he gradually regained his strength.

... ...

Snap~ Snap~

In front of Houndoom, Hao Yan stomped on the Poké Ball that had been binding them.

He said softly to them, "From now on, you are free."

"We no longer have to be enslaved by the Rockets!"

Seeing their Poké Ball destroyed, the two Houndooms regained a little bit of their dull eyes.

"Aww~ Aww~"

"Awooo~ Awooo~" The two black chugs let out grateful cries to Haoyan.

Haoyan gently stroked the scars on the two Houndooms and said to them with heartache, "Team Rocket has done many evil things to you!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you in the near future!"

"Completely destroy those damn Team Rocket!"

"Aww~ Aww~"

"Awooo~ Awooo~" Hao Yan's genuine treatment of the two Houndooms reopened a crack in their hearts, which had long been closed off.

"Alright, you should all leave now."

"Be careful in the future, and don't get caught by those Rocket Team members again!" Hao Yan said to them with a smile.

"Aww~ Aww~"

"Awooo~ Awooo~" The two Houndooms had regained their mobility and slowly walked into the depths of Viridian Forest.

... ...

"Phew~" Haoyan let out a heavy sigh.

He said to the three Pokémon, "We've accomplished everything we need to do in Kanto. It's time for us to go home."

"Luca!"

"Garde~" Lucario and Gardevoir both nodded.

With a comfortable hot spring at home and Haoyan cooking delicious meals, the comfortable environment is like a temptation, enticing them to work hard away from home.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" The little dragon looked at 'home' with curiosity and anticipation.

-------------------------------------

The port of Cerulean City.

Inside the captain's cabin of the cargo ship "Yonghe".

“Mr. 13, I didn’t expect to be so lucky to run into you again.” Captain Jack said to Hao Yan in a friendly manner, “This time we are returning to the Hoenn region, and I’ll leave the escort work to you.”

"It is my job to escort the 'Yonghe' ship back to port."

"Captain Jack, you're too kind," Hao Yan replied.

That's right, Hirohiko left Viridian Forest and did not linger in the Kanto region any longer.

Just then, I saw that 'Yonghe' had posted a mission to escort people back to the Hoenn region in the League Center's mission list, so I accepted it without hesitation.

It's time to return to the Hoenn region and take some time to reflect.

Let's tidy up and improve the strength of our three Pokémon.

"Mr. 13, it's been a while since I've seen you."

"I feel like you're different," Captain Jack said, lighting a cigar with some uncertainty.

"Oh, really?" Hao Yan asked curiously, "Captain Jack, tell me, what's different?"

Captain Jack carefully considered his words before slowly saying, "Mr. 13 is a little tanned, but that's not the point."

"The key is Mr. 13's temperament; he seems to have changed a lot."

Jack thought for a moment, then continued, "It became...it became sharp!"

"That's right, it's sharp!"

"Is it sharp?" Haoyan smiled.

Perhaps experiencing more things makes a person more sharp-minded.

Afterwards, Hao Yan chatted with Captain Jack for a few minutes before leaving the captain's cabin.

... ...

On the deck of a cargo ship.

Haoyan gazed at the rolling blue waves, feeling the cool sea breeze, and his thoughts began to drift away.

All three tasks originally planned for this trip to Kanto have been completed.

I learned a lot about Pokémon from Professor Oak.

In Viridian Forest, I gained a new companion, Charmander.

Furthermore, deep within the Viridian Forest, they obtained 53 white vanilla plants.

This time, we've had a very fruitful experience!

However, what impressed Haoyan the most was the Rockets team he encountered.

Back in Viridian Forest, I was just facing a team Rocket squad leader.

They unexpectedly encountered one embarrassing situation after another.

It has to be said, the Rockets are indeed very strong!

Besides the Rockets' strength, Hao Yan also clearly realized the Rockets' dirty tactics.

Abuse Pokémon, inflicting pain on them through evil experiments.

These are all things that Haoyan deeply abhors!

This made Haoyan silently make up his mind.

Once we have the strength, we must make the evil Team Rocket disappear!

Also, the one that Team Rocket created.

Beyond dreams, free from identity, confusion, and suffering, one finds liberation!

Give him his freedom!

Of course, if possible, Haoyan would like to subdue him and change his hatred of humans!

... ...

Chapter 68 The First Thing After Returning Home

Hoenn region, Akiba town, home.

What's the first thing you do when you get home?

Of course, it's soaking in hot springs!

Haoyan lay in the hot spring, comfortably soaking in it.

Feeling the warm water flowing over his chest, it was as if a pair of soft hands were gently caressing his chest.
