The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"Charmeleon, it seems we've encountered our strongest enemy yet. There's no other way but to unleash our ultimate move. Charmeleon, use Dragon Rage!"

Dragon Rage is a powerful attack from Dragon-type Pokémon. Charmeleon was not originally at a level where it could learn it, but Kenta spent a lot of money to buy a move disc for Charmeleon, which allowed Charmeleon to use this powerful move despite being a level above it.

Upon hearing Kenta's command, Charizard became serious as well.

A powerful energy was gathering in its belly.

"Dragon's Wrath? That must be the Pokémon version of the Tailed Beast Ball, right?"

Bai Ye stroked his chin, then called out to Thor:

"Metal Garurumon, it looks like the enemy is going to win in one fell swoop, so we can't fall behind!" White Night shouted, "Thor, use Thunderbolt!"

"Be careful, the enemy is just a child, so... we absolutely cannot let him get away!"

Thor glanced at Bai Ye and thought, "You bastard, please have some decency!"

He cursed inwardly, but still had to muster his strength and unleash his 100,000 volts... Pshaw, 100,000 volts, it was his Thor's power—after all, he had already been taken hostage by that bastard Bai Ye and lost his word...

The tricks that little guy called Charmeleon used on him were at best just scraping.

But now, that special move called Dragon's Wrath has made Thor feel a bit threatened.

That should be enough to make him feel pain.

The energy was almost fully compressed in the Charizard's belly, and it opened its mouth, shooting out an intense beam of light.

"call out--!"

Thor's 100,000 volts clashed with the beam.

"boom--!!!"

After the two energies collided, they remained locked in a stalemate for about two seconds...

Thor unleashed a devastating 100,000 volts that shattered Charizard's Dragon Rage, striking Charizard with immense destructive power.

Charizard's level is still too low. If it were a Mega-evolved Charizard to fight Thor, there would be a slight chance of winning. But now, it's a losing proposition.

A shockwave rippled outwards from the Charmander.

Smoke filled the air.

After a long while, the smoke dissipated, and Charizard was seen lying in a huge, deep pit, its eyes already bulging with bubbles.

Sold out instantly!

"I lost."

Kenta was extremely unwilling and looked at Byakuya, saying:

"But I didn't lose to you, I just lost to your Pokémon. You can't even control your own Pokémon."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded perfunctorily. He didn't care about these trivial matters, as long as he could get the benefits.

"Can we honor our bet now?"

Kenta didn't waste any words and immediately started taking out his Pokémon.

He accidentally dropped his wallet, and Bai Ye looked at it and saw a very beautiful mature woman, probably Kenta's mother.

Looking at it this way, Bai Ye is starting to think about going to the same school as Kenta—Madam, you don't want Kenta to be bullied at school, do you?

"Cough cough!"

Bai Ye composed himself.

Kenta released his six Pokémon, including Charmeleon.

"Charmeleon, Bulbasaur, Onix, Golduck, Alakazam, Gastly."

Bai Ye gasped in amazement; Kenta's Pokémon setup was absolutely phenomenal.

These are almost all very rare Pokémon. Charmeleon and Ivysaur go without saying. Alakazam and Gastly, two of the Kanto starter Pokémon, are also top-tier Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon. Onix and Golduck are also among the best in their respective types...

So it seems that Kenta's mother must be very rich.

This made Byakuya even more eager to bully Kenta.

Which one should I choose?

Bai Ye's gaze swept around, and suddenly, he saw an elf egg and asked curiously:

"What kind of Pokémon egg is this?"

"Oh, this is the Squirtle egg I won after winning the Pokémon Tournament."

Kenta said casually.

Bai Ye suddenly realized.

With Kenta's ability to use Charmeleon with Dragon Rage, he can definitely crush any amateur trainer.

"Then I'll take this Squirtle egg."

Bai Ye said.

Kenta looked at Byakuya in surprise: "Don't you want my Charizard? I've spent a lot of resources raising it. If I turned those resources into money, it would be enough to buy two pseudo-legendary ones on the black market."

Bai Ye smiled faintly:

"A gentleman does not take what others love. This Charizard is yours, which you have carefully raised. How could I possibly steal it?"

Yes, the truth is that Charmeleon, while strong, is already set in its form and has far less potential for development than Squirtle from the Pokémon egg.

He still prefers the Pokémon he trained himself.

If there weren't any Squirtle eggs, he would definitely choose Kenta's Charizard, but now...

Never mind.

"Alright, then this Pokémon egg is yours."

Kenta handed the Pokémon egg to Byakuya.

Bai Ye stroked the elf egg, a smile appearing on his face.

Speaking of which, there's actually a connection between his choice of this Squirtle Pokémon egg and his mastery of Squirtle's signature move, Headbutt.

Kenta paid his bet, snorted, and left.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Bai Ye took Squirtle's Poké Ball and an unhappy Tohru to go find Nurse Joy.

While giving Thor another massage, Bai Ye used the excuse of repaying the money to chat with Miss Joey.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye learned that Miss Joey had been having trouble sleeping lately. Being the kind and generous person Bai Ye was, he naturally offered her bananas and milk, which are said to help with sleep. Miss Joey didn't understand the principle behind it, but she was willing to give it a try.

The next day.

After finishing up the miscellaneous matters in Viridian City, Byakuya patted Tohru's head and said:

"Alright, our trip to Viridian City is a complete success. Now let's begin our new adventure!"

Bai Ye hasn't quite figured out how to use the Space Fruit yet, so he'll definitely have to stay in this Pokémon world for a while before exploring other places.

Thor was helpless.

However, the massage at the Pokémon Center is really enjoyable, so staying there shouldn't be a problem.

"Let me see the map to the Wilderness Area..."

So, Bai Ye then drove a campervan towards the wild wilderness area.

Halfway there.

It took more than a day to travel.

Bai Ye and Thor suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at the incubation device that held the elf egg in the back seat, where they saw it trembling slightly.

"Could it be that Squirtle is about to hatch?"

Bai Ye became interested and quickly handed the steering wheel to Thor. They arrived in front of the device and looked at the white egg with blue patterns floating up and down in the nutrient solution.

"Crack!"

The trembling fairy egg, accompanied by a crisp sound, developed a crack resembling a spider web.

Then, more and more cracks appeared, and the eggshell gradually approached the point of breaking.

"Jenny!"

A Squirtle hatched from its egg.

The first person it saw after it was born was Bai Ye. Its big eyes immediately showed affection for Bai Ye.

"Holy crap!"

Bai Ye reached out and touched Squirtle's head. Back in the day, he used his Rocket Headbutt skill to perfection. Squirtle was practically his favorite creature.

"JeniJeni!"

Squirtle seemed to sense Bai Ye's kindness and immediately hugged him, rubbing its little head against him vigorously.

It is said that young animals will regard the first creature they see at birth as their parents or relatives. While Pokémon will not mistake humans for their parents, they will regard the first person they see at birth as the closest person in their lives.

"Alright, little guy, from now on you're my turtle."

Bai Ye smiled and then gave the newborn Squirtle a bath.

“JeniJeni”.

Squirtle rubbed its shrunken belly.

Bai Ye immediately understood its meaning:

"It's all ready for you, just wait a minute!"

He retrieved the milk from the large Miltank he had bought specifically for Squirtle in Viridian City. For a newborn Pokémon, that was one of the best foods. As for something even better... that was a family secret within the Pokémon League, the kind that was never passed on to outsiders.

Well, after he helped Nurse Joy fall asleep, Nurse Joy also gave him a lot in return, such as telling him how to take care of newborn Pokémon.

In addition... Miss Joey also gave him a lot of seafood.

"JeniJeni!"

Squirtle, holding a milk bottle and drinking milk, smiled so much that his eyes were squinted.
