But even if the action is swift.

He had inevitably acquired that heavy aura as well.

Without thinking twice, the three hurriedly took Rika to the Pokémon Center.

After examination, Ms. Joey said there was nothing seriously wrong; the strong odor had caused a temporary coma, and she would recover after a period of rest.

Miss Lijia was admitted to the hospital "unexpectedly".

The possibility of the museum owner accompanying the visit was naturally cancelled.

Ash and his friends then decided to explore Celadon City on their own.

......

Walking on the streets of Yuhong City, the three people and the rat couldn't help but slow down.

The city was more prosperous and sophisticated than they had imagined.

The streets are wide and clean, lined with shops on both sides, displaying a variety of exquisite perfume bottles and gifts in their windows.

It seems.

It wasn't an exaggeration for Lijia to say that she was quite wealthy.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

When they reached a crossroads, they found that traffic was somewhat congested and a number of curious pedestrians were gathered in front of them.

A figure with short blue hair, a common sight, was standing in the middle of the road.

She was dressed in a proper police uniform, her handsome face showing obvious trouble and helplessness.

"Huh? What's that...?"

Xiaoxia just squinted her eyes.

"It's Officer Jenny!"

Xiao Gang's eyes lit up as he recognized it.

The person before me is none other than Outer Jenny, who is on par with Nejoy.

Joey was in charge of the home, while Officer Jenny was in charge of external affairs.

Both families were once ranked among the top three families that many LSPs (Life Partners) most wanted to marry into.

And that's the source of her troubles.

It's a goofy-looking duck-shaped Pokémon standing right in the middle of an intersection.

It stood in front of Officer Jenny, holding its head in its hands, its large, beady eyes staring blankly at the sky ahead.

It seemed as if they were contemplating the mysteries of the universe.

He remained completely unmoved by the surrounding noises and the curious glances of passersby.

"Psyduck, what are you doing here again?"

Miss Officer Jenny crouched down and tried to persuade her in a gentle tone.

She even pulled a small bag of Pokémon food out of her pocket.

"What you're doing is very dangerous and will also hinder everyone."

"Come on, why don't you go over there? I have some delicious food here!"

"Gah?"

Psyduck tilted its head very slowly.

It let out a cry that was difficult to understand.

But its feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, remaining completely still.

Officer Jenny sighed.

He rubbed his temples, clearly having tried for quite some time, and his brows showed signs of fatigue.

Just as Ash and Misty had expected.

Xiao Gang quickly straightened his collar.

He then quickly stepped forward, a fawning smile appearing on his face, the same kind he wore when facing beautiful women.

"Miss Officer Jenny! What a coincidence!"

"Is there something wrong? Perhaps we can help?"

His voice was gentle, and his demeanor reliable.

This made Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia behind them feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"What's wrong with Teacher Gang? Something doesn't seem right."

"That's right! Has it been too long since you've had my meal?"

"Pikachu?"

Xiao Gang ignored the comments behind him.

A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence!

He is no longer the man he once was!

He has reflected deeply on what happened yesterday.

One must never be too hasty when dealing with a beautiful woman.

As for myself... I completely suffered from being too impatient!

Officer Jenny looked up at the sound and saw several young men and women who looked like trainers. Her brows relaxed slightly.

"As you can see, this Psyduck has been appearing on my patrol route every now and then these past few days for some reason, and it won't leave no matter how I try to persuade it."

"Even if you take it to the side of the road, it will waddle back on its own after a while."

"Food, toys... I've tried everything, but nothing works."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Brock puffed out his chest, trying to demonstrate his professional abilities as a Pokémon breeder. "As a breeder, I'm the best at solving all sorts of Pokémon problems!"

"Great, you're a breeder! Thank you for your help!"

Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.

Brock cleared his throat, turned to Psyduck, and put on a more approachable expression.

He also squatted down, looking at Psyduck at eye level.

"Psyduck, what do you want from standing here the whole time?"

"Gah?"

Psyduck's gaze still pierced through him.

Thrown into the void of the sky.

Xiao Gang was not discouraged. He carefully observed the condition of Psyduck's feathers and its eyes.

Then gently wave your hand in front of its eyes.

"You can tell me if you have any questions."

But the only response he received was Psyduck's occasional blink.

And it might just be a coincidence, another instance of dragging out the sound.

"Gah..."

After some trying.

Under Officer Jenny's increasingly suspicious gaze, Xiao Gang's forehead began to sweat.

Although Psyduck is known for being dull and slow-witted.

But this one, which seems to have its soul out of its body and has completely "shut down" from the outside world, is truly rare and makes one feel uneasy.

But it doesn't matter!

He has a cheat code!

Xiao Gang quietly nudged Xiao Zhi next to him with his elbow.

He lowered his voice, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of pleading for help.

"Ash... this is a bit tricky, this guy isn't reacting at all."

Xiao Zhi stepped forward.

He didn't speak, but squatted down in front of Psyduck just like Brock.

I stared at its tiny eyes, which seemed to reflect the sky yet were completely empty.

"Well……"

Xiao Zhi looked focused, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was trying to sense something.

Xiaoxia curiously came closer.

Look at Ash, then look at Psyduck.

"So, Ash? Did you figure it out?"

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu tilted its head, looking on with anticipation.

Ash remained silent for a few seconds while looking at Psyduck.

Then, a rare, slightly confused, and honest expression appeared on his face.

"No."

"Huh?!"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened instantly.

Xiao Gang's smile froze for a moment.
