It's not that I don't want to build it, it's that I simply can't.

From the moment he first saw Imetti, his mind completely went blank.

To be fair...

This person, in terms of physique, appearance, temperament, and personality, perfectly hits every exciting spot in his XP system.

Her hair was styled in two different colored pigtails, with the ends slightly curled, swaying gently with her movements.

The white shirt collar was slightly open, revealing a section of well-defined collarbone.

Khaki trousers hugged her long, slender legs, and although they were covered in some dust, they only added to her charm.

Not to mention the "nutritional manifestations" that far exceed the average scale.

But that's the strange thing.

Xiao Gang frowned deeply. His well-honed XP system, and the big data model that had been running precisely even after countless failed attempts to pick up girls, were now in disarray.

One should be able to determine the other person's measurements, age, and even body fat percentage within a second.

But at this moment, the system is frantically sounding alarms.

Even though each of his external features matched his preferences, when put together, there was always a slight sense of disharmony.

Just like Gardevoir's elusive skirt, it's right in front of you, but something always feels off.

On the other side, Xiao Zhi suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"Oh right, you still don't know our names, do you?"

"This is Xiaoxia, that's Xiaogang, and you already know Pikachu and me."

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu raised its little paw and shook it in a friendly gesture.

Imetti smiled and nodded in greeting, her demeanor graceful and poised.

Xiao Gang managed to squeeze out a "Hello" from the state of the system crash.

The sense of unease did not dissipate at close range; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

Especially when his gaze swept over the exaggerated heaving of the other person's chest.

"By the way, you said you were going deeper into the canyon?" Imetti guessed, looking at the increasingly narrow valley ahead. "Are you going to the Fossil Park?"

"Yes."

“Oh, I see! Then we can say we’re going the same way!” Imettie smiled. “I came out chasing Ditto, and there are some things I haven’t picked up yet, plus I’m quite familiar with the route.”

"There's no time to lose, why don't we do it now..."

Xiao Zhi was about to say something.

Xiaoxia spoke first.

"Thank you for your help, but we need to rest for a while."

As she spoke, she subtly rubbed her still-sore calves.

Imetti glanced at the sky, then at Xiaoxia's pale face, and nodded.

"You really should take a break."

"It takes about an hour to get to the Fossil Park from here, and the last part is quite steep, so it will be very strenuous if you don't have enough stamina."

She crouched down and unzipped the small bag she was carrying.

"Perfect timing, I have some food here, let's all replenish our energy."

She took several items out of her backpack.

A bag of sliced ​​whole wheat bread, a small box of butter, some ham, and a jar that looks like homemade jam.

"When you're traveling, the conditions are simple, so please don't mind," Imetti said, then, as if remembering something, she added, "The jam is homemade, it's nut-flavored, so it shouldn't be too bad."

"No, no!" Xiaoxia took the things, her eyes lighting up. "As long as there's food, that's fine!"

Ditto, still in Ash's form, immediately went over as well.

It immediately twisted open the jam and was about to pour it into its mouth, but when it saw Pikachu imitating Ash spreading butter on bread, it paused.

After hesitating for a second, it looked at the jam jar, then at Ash, and finally put the jar down, meticulously replicating Ash's actions.

This is its special skill—imitation.

As long as it continuously replicates and incorporates the identity of the imitated entity, its strength will become increasingly close to that of the imitated entity.

Although it felt that the person's spirit was not easily imitated, it believed that... perseverance can wear down even the hardest stone!

Seeing this, Xiao Gang also took out a few food containers from his backpack and quietly distributed them to everyone.

The box contained sandwiches, neatly cut, with golden-brown bread, vibrant green lettuce, and bright red tomatoes—just looking at them made one's mouth water.

"It smells so good!"

Imetti took the sandwich, took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up.

She instinctively covered her mouth, her voice filled with surprise.

"This...you made this? It's made with ordinary ingredients, but the bread's baking and the filling's combination are several levels above my simple, makeshift meal."

Xiaoxia subconsciously noticed that when Imetti covered her mouth, the fabric in her chest was gently pulled, revealing the undulating contours of her breasts... Xiaoxia looked at herself.

Forget it, I'm not watching anymore.

I don't even have the energy to eat anymore.

Xiao Gang nodded, his eyes showing a conflicted expression.

This was the first time he had ever felt so bad!

The data was all correct, but his intuition was shaking its head frantically. He took a bite of the sandwich he had made, and it tasted like nothing at all.

But just as Imetti was eating small bites and chatting with everyone about the road conditions ahead, the heaving of her chest suddenly became even more intense.

To Xiaoxia's astonishment, the thing rolled and swelled as if undergoing some kind of bizarre secondary development, and then grew to a larger size.

But it quickly seemed to reach its peak and then rapidly deflate.

Xiao Gang: "?!"

Xiaoxia: "!?"

Ash, still eating: "Chewing, chewing."

A soft, pinkish-purple dough slid down from under Imetti's shirt.

Within just two seconds, the outline of Imetti's upper body underwent a dramatic transformation.

What was once an astonishingly exaggerated curve has become an ordinary, even somewhat thin, physique.

Because of her narrower frame, Xiaoxia unconsciously straightened her chest from certain angles, inexplicably regaining some confidence.

The soft, pinkish-purple dough spread out on the stone, stretched out as if yawning, and then opened its pair of big, dark eyes to lock onto the food on the stone.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it began to devour the food greedily.

fake?

Are they all fake?!

Xiao Gang's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils dilating violently.

A thunderous light suddenly erupted from that face that had appeared dazed due to the system crash.

correct!

It's definitely fake!

He just said it! He just said something was wrong!

Eyes... can be deceiving!

With this physique, this muscle mass, and this bone width, it shouldn't be able to support this shape at all!

After all, only in space, only in space, can there be such a romantic, never-sagging, and eternally firm sci-fi existence!

Now, the truth has come out.

His XP system not only didn't malfunction, but it also accurately captured that subtle sense of incongruity!

Well done! My XP!

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Imetti's face turned red at a visible speed.

She instinctively covered her chest, which had returned to normal, and opened her lips as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Her fingers crumpled into the flat fabric, creating several creases. In her desperation, she wished she could immediately transform into a Ground-type Pokémon and burrow into it.

The Ditto that fell off her, however, was completely unaffected and continued to eat with relish.

Xiaoxia was the first to recover from her shock.

She glanced at Imetti's hand clutching her chest, then at the Ditto completely absorbed in its food.

Ditto... you can use it like this?!

She looked down at herself, then at Imetti's current state, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, her eyes becoming subtle.

If... if I also... no, no, no, wouldn't that be cheating?

But... cheating doesn't seem like it's entirely wrong?

Ash glanced at Imettie, then at yet another Ditto, and finally stopped wolfing down his food.

Wow! That's amazing!

Ash slapped his thigh, and his Ditto, which had transformed into Ash, immediately imitated him.

"There's even a way to hide Pokémon like this! You're not a ninja either, are you?"

You should know that he had only ever seen this method of carrying Pokémon around and hiding them on his person before, and it was from Brother A-Jie.

That Poison-type Gym Leader can hide Pokémon in his sleeves, cape, or even shoes, making his attacks incredibly unpredictable.

The guy in front of me is hiding Ditto in his chest as a breastplate... That's something Brother A-Ju never expected!
